[Qing Chuan] The daily life of the seven princes

Yinyou didn't go in in a hurry, but stood at the door and listened for a while, and finally understood what they were arguing about.

The prince and elder brother are both helping Kangxi with some government affairs, the most important thing is some sacrificial activities.

However, because the royal sacrificial process is very complicated and cumbersome, the Ministry of Rites often starts preparations several months in advance.The emperor fasted three days in advance to review the Zhu Wen, check the jade silk, incense candles and other sacrificial items, and send them to the Temple of Heaven by the Luan Yiwei in the Dragon Pavilion.

Then the emperor came to the Temple of Heaven in person to start the grand and cumbersome ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.Greeting the gods, presenting jade and silk, cattle and sheep, reciting Zhu Wen, etc., and then various offerings, even the rituals, music, singing and dancing have to be changed several times, and all the officials need to be entertained when returning to the palace after the ceremony.

Because there were too many and too complicated processes, the prince and elder brother had a disagreement about the order of one of the links, so the two began to argue.

The prince has participated in sacrifices with Kangxi since he was a child, and has been participating in small sacrifices alone since he was nine years old. He has dealt with the Ministry of Rites countless times, so he is naturally quite familiar with the sacrifice process.

The elder brother also attended the sacrificial activities with Kangxi in the past two years and was about to reach adulthood. In fact, he was not as familiar with the entire process of the sacrificial ceremony as the prince.

The crown prince stood in the middle of the study, with his hands behind his back, looking like a modest gentleman: "According to the rules of the Ministry of Rites, the recitation of sacrificial texts should come first."

The third elder brother stood behind the prince, and nodded frequently after hearing him finish speaking: "According to the procedure, it should be so."

Eldest Brother is on the other side, standing more casually: "Last time, Ama Khan offered wine first."

"impossible!"

"Khan Ama is the emperor, how could he be wrong?"

"..."

The fourth elder brother stood aside, quietly listening to their quarrel.Unlike the third elder brother who has a clear attitude, the prince of the team, of course, he does not agree with the eldest brother.

At this time, half a small head poked out of the door, looking at them curiously.

The third elder brother saw him at a glance: "Yo, Xiao Qi is here."

The little guy who was eavesdropping at the door was discovered, so he could only bounce into the room.

The fourth elder brother patted his head and asked, "Are you tired on the road, why don't you take a rest?"

The child is at his most energetic, Yinyou shook his head: "I'm not tired at all."

The fourth elder brother asked again: "How is the sixth illness?"

"Don't worry," the little guy patted his brother's hand, "Brother Six is ​​fully recovered."

The fourth elder brother showed a very shallow smile that could not even be seen without looking carefully: "It's fine."

Yinyou looked left and right, and found that the crown prince and elder brother were facing different directions, and they were looking at one side of the window, but neither wanted to speak.

The little guy walked between the two of them, looked at the prince's elder brother and then at the eldest brother: "Why don't you two quarrel, continue?"

"..."

The elder brother and the prince looked at each other, but didn't speak.

The little guy shook the prince's elder brother's hand, the prince looked down at him, and laughed without holding back.

So, the little guy went to pull the elder brother with the other hand: "Why do you two worry about Ama? Is it because you don't have enough homework? Or the snacks are not good?"

The elder brother couldn't take it anymore, he pulled him over and pressed him on his lap, the prince couldn't help it either, and slapped him on his upturned little butt.

Although the palace is cool, it is not fun for Yinyou.Kangxi originally wanted to take a few sons on a tour outside the Great Wall, so he went along with him.

But once the Sixth Brother's illness was delayed, he can't go anywhere now, and can only stay here with the Empress Dowager for a few days.The time has just entered July, and the weather is a little cooler, so I get up and drive back to the palace.

During the flood season this year, Jin Fu, the governor of the River Channel, presented a memorial to Kangxi, saying that the Yellow River had burst its embankment again. The nearby villages, houses, and farmland suffered heavy losses, as well as casualties, and the affected area was huge.

Because of the Yellow River incident, Kangxi made a special trip to the south the year before last, and personally finalized a series of river management plans, modifying the estuary, cleaning up the silted sand, building new dams, etc., and said that no matter how much money it costs, Do whatever it takes.

However, the matter has not been resolved. When the flood season arrives in the past two years, there will be news of the Yellow River's embankment breaking. This makes Kangxi have to sleep and eat every year because of this matter. He also has to discuss with the ministers about the aftermath, preemptive relief and post-disaster reconstruction. , continue to manage the river course...

This year's floods are particularly serious. Like a roaring beast, the rushing water of the Yellow River broke free from the shackles of the embankment and swept through the surrounding villages, causing serious casualties and economic losses.

Overnight, how many people were submerged in the river, and more people were displaced.These are not just a number on the memorial, but real and fresh life.

The emperor leaned tiredly on the dragon chair. Probably when his ancestors entered the customs by force, they only thought of the richness of this piece of land. A nation that has thrived on fishing and hunting for thousands of years, when their descendants became this When you become the ruler of the vast land, you will face many tests.

Force can conquer the country, but can force govern the country well?

He has understood this truth since the young emperor took charge.Therefore, the top three in the imperial examinations only took Han people, and opened a erudite subject, hoping to attract a large number of students from the former dynasty. Most of the officials in the outer court were Han people.

Some Han people vowed to die and refused to become officials, and some people went straight to official positions and feudal Xinjiang officials, such as Yu Chenglong, Jin Fu, Zhang Ying, Tang Bin and others.

The emperor didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that these Han people chose to become officials not because they had no integrity, they were willing to submit to the Manchus, and they wanted to get promoted and get rich.

In fact, they were all honest and self-sufficient. When Jackie Chan passed away, they didn't even have decent clothes except official uniforms.

They care about the common people, fulfill their duties, and their strength of character and integrity are reflected in the way of being an official. They are truly ambitious.

Kangxi himself didn't eat, drink, or sleep, and his ministers also accompanied him. He couldn't come up with an effective disaster relief plan, and everyone couldn't even think about going back to get a good night's sleep.

At this time, the prince was also watching from the sidelines.As the crown prince, this is also a compulsory course for him to ascend the throne in the future.

The emperor was in a hurry, and everyone did not dare to delay, so they made a plan quickly.In the final analysis, of course, the disaster relief funds should be allocated first, and the resettlement of the victims should be the main priority, and the rest can be slowed down first.

Kangxi not only tortured himself and the ministers enough, but also called Cao Yin, the accountant doctor, and the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that to reduce the expenditure of the palace, the first thing to do is to reduce the supply of the palaces.

Of course, even the emperor himself only ate two meals a day, and all rations were halved, and he did not dare to reduce the empress dowager and empress dowager.It's just that all the empresses, princes and princesses in the harem should follow the emperor's example, and all supplies will be halved.

This has led to some little guys who only like to eat meat and not vegetables, and they can't stand it if they eat two more meals.

Yinyou put the chopsticks on the table: "I don't eat vegetables, I want to eat meat."

The imperial concubine glanced at him: "There is no meat."

The little guy pouted: "I won't eat without meat!"

The imperial concubine nodded: "Then be hungry."

The little guy couldn't bear it even when he was hungry, so he turned his head and asked the imperial concubine, "Why is there no meat?"

The imperial concubine deliberately teased him: "Oh, you have to ask your good friend Cao Ziqing about this. He is the doctor of the accounting department and is responsible for managing all expenses in the palace. He said that everyone's ration will be halved, so you You can only eat those few meals of meat every month, and vegetables at other times."

The little guy tilted his head and thought, "Why did Ziqing do this? Is it because I, Ama, have no money?"

The imperial concubine shrugged: "Maybe, who knows?"

"Impossible!" The little guy frowned, denying his conjecture, "I am the emperor, the richest person in the whole world!"

The imperial concubine said again: "But, your Ama is also a vegetarian every day now."

Kangxi has been busy with government affairs recently, and he is devastated by the Yellow River embankment breach every day, and has not walked around in the harem for a long time.

Yinyou hasn't seen Ama for a long time, let alone having dinner with Ama, how can he know what Ama is eating now?

So he asked, "Why does Amma want to be a vegetarian?"

"Because Ama wants to pray for the people in the disaster area."

The little guy wondered: "Pray for the people in the disaster area?"

The imperial concubine put down her chopsticks, waved her hand, and called her son to her: "Xiaoqi, do you still remember the time we went out with Ama the year before last?"

The little guy nodded: "Of course I remember, we went to many places, Hejian, Jinan, Suzhou, Jiangning."

"Yes, do you remember what we saw when we passed through Yizhou, Suqian, and Gaoyou?"

Yinyou recalled for a while, they had passed through these places when they went and when they came back, so Yinyou naturally remembered.

"I remember that Gaoyou was flooded, as were Yizhou and Suqian."

"Do you know why?"

"I know, the prince brother told me." Yinyou nodded, "Because the water of the Yellow River flowed out, it flooded the villages and farmland."

The imperial concubine asked him: "Do you remember the people there?"

The little guy nodded: "Remember, they are very poor. They have no house to live in and no food to eat. I even gave them my snacks."

"So," the imperial concubine restrained her smile, and said to her son very seriously, "During the flood season this year, the Yellow River burst its embankment again. The flood flooded the farmland and destroyed the houses. The people there lost their homes again."

Immediately, the scene he saw last year appeared in Yinyou's mind. The old man was wearing tattered clothes, and the children were sallow and emaciated from hunger. They looked at them with pleading and longing eyes. A little money and food could make them kneel down and kowtow thank you.

There was a look of pity on the little guy's face, and he didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes became moist: "Then I...then I will eat a little less, and keep the rest, and let Ama send them over to eat."

The imperial concubine wiped his tears for him: "That's not necessary, you just need to eat enough. Let's not waste it, and don't overdo it. It can be regarded as a little help to the people in the disaster area."

Yinyou nodded: "OK!"

Then he sat obediently at the table, quietly ate a bowl of vegetables and tofu with white rice, then put down his chopsticks, and said, "Er Niang, I'm full."

The imperial concubine praised him: "The baby is awesome."

After lunch, Li Xi took Yinyou to take a lunch break.But after not sleeping for a long time, he saw the little guy got up from the bed, changed his clothes, put on his shoes, got out of bed, came to the study, and rummaged through the bookshelves.

Li Xi looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but ask him, "What are you looking for, brother?"

Yinyou turned his head: "I want to see if we have any books on river management here."

Li Xi burst out laughing: "We only have poems and songs here and the Four Books and Five Classics you want to read. Where can we get the books on river management?"

The little guy pouted dissatisfiedly: "But the prince's elder brother and the elder brother have it there, why don't I have it?"

Li Xi laughed and said, "The crown prince and the fourth elder brother have them, but we really don't have them here."

The little guy suddenly went out: "I'll go look for it in Erniang's room."

As he said that, he rushed out of the house without even taking the steps, turned over to the platform from the side with his hands and feet and entered the main hall of Chengqian Palace.

The imperial concubine was sitting at the desk reading a book, she was quite surprised to see him: "Why did you wake up so early?"

Some children, in order to avoid reading and practicing calligraphy, will not open their eyes until they sleep for an hour. Even if they open their eyes, they would like to lie on the bed for another half hour.

Yinyou walked to the bookshelf: "I'm here to find books."

"What book are you looking for?" The imperial concubine asked curiously, "You have already taken back Journey to the West."

"I want to see if there are any books on river management."

The imperial concubine shook her head: "I have the most medical books here, do you want to read them?"

"No, I want to read books about river management." The little guy continued to rummage through the bookshelf, "Ama put so many books in your place, isn't there any book about river management?"

"It seems... there really isn't one."

The little guy immediately turned around and ran out the door: "Then I'll go find Brother Prince."

"Xiaoqi," the imperial concubine called to stop him, "you come back."

Yinyou was a little anxious: "I'll go to him to borrow two books, and I'll return as soon as I go."

The imperial concubine smiled and said: "Don't worry, come here, Er Niang has something to tell you."

Yinyou reluctantly walked to her side: "Speak quickly."

"The prince is very busy now, and he has to help Ama handle government affairs every day. You should not bother him these few days. The key point is that I think your trip will be in vain. He is probably not in Yuqing Palace."

Yinyou thought for a while: "Then I'll go to my brother, he also has books on river management."

"Brother needs to study and is very busy." The imperial concubine took his hand, "Why don't we talk about the story about the Yellow River."

"Okay!" Bai Lu moved a stool from the side and asked him to sit down.The little guy couldn't wait to ask, "Why did the Yellow River burst its embankment?"

The imperial concubine said: "First of all, you have to understand what the Yellow River is."

Yinyou said: "What I have seen is a very big river with yellow water." He thought for a while and added, "The "San Zi Jing" says that the Yangtze River and the Yellow River will eventually flow to the sea, and they are rivers. represent."

The imperial concubine nodded: "Yes, you have seen both the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Next, let's talk about the Yellow River. It flows into the sea from west to east and passes through many places. One of them is called the Loess Plateau. The place rushes down, mixed with a lot of silt. When it reaches the Central Plains, the terrain becomes flat, and the silt will deposit at the bottom of the river bed, accumulating for thousands of years, and the river bed is even much higher than the surrounding land."

"In the long years, people living along the Yellow River began to build dikes and dams in order to protect their homes. They summed up a lot of experience. The dams they built became longer and higher, and they became more and more perfect. Hundreds of miles."

"So, the Yellow River embankment is a water conservancy project. From June to July every year, there is a lot of rainfall in these places, and it is the flood season. The raging river keeps washing the embankment. collapsed, causing dikes to burst and rivers to flow back into villages and farmland."

Yinyou half understood what he heard, this knowledge was still too difficult for a child of his age.

The imperial concubine touched his head: "It's okay, you can learn slowly in the future, and hope that one day, you can help Ama solve this biggest problem."

The little guy suddenly said: "I have a solution. I can let the people along the coast move away and move to a safe place."

The imperial concubine shook her head: "The Central Plains area is the birthplace of the entire Chinese civilization. They have lived here for generations, with a dense population, rich land, and flat terrain. Because of this, your ancestors came all the way from the northeast to win the Central Plains The common people there, if they leave such a treasure land of geomantic omen, where else can they go to live?"

"Okay," the little guy understood, "now there is no other way but to build stronger dams."

The imperial concubine nodded: "Theoretically so."

"Then how can it be made stronger?" The little guy thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Glutinous rice cake... no, no, it's glutinous rice paste, the one used to build houses."

The imperial concubine shook her head: "I don't understand this, but I think there are two problems. First, the cost is too high, so high that you, the king of a country, may not be able to bear it. Second, the corrosion resistance is not good enough. It must be good. Therefore, I suggest that you have the opportunity to ask Nan Huairen what materials they use to build palaces and temples."

Yinyou nodded: "Okay, I wrote it down."

Now that Kangxi is busy, Yinyou must not bother Ama.He had no choice but to go to his brother, and he actually borrowed several books on river management from him to check them out.

If the little guy is serious, he can shut himself up in the study for a whole afternoon until the sky is getting dark. If he hadn't asked someone to come in and light the lamp, he might not even look up.

The imperial concubine asked him to put down his books and go out to have a rest several times, but he didn't seem to have heard of it, and kept holding the books, sitting motionless behind the desk.

"Oh..." The imperial concubine sighed, and said to Li Xi who was beside her, "It seems that it's not that he doesn't like reading, it's just that he hasn't discovered his hobbies."

Li Xi covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Our brother has too many hobbies. When the hobbies come up in the past two days, you can concentrate on eating and drinking, and forget them after a few days."

She was right. Yinyou saw from "Guanzi · Dudi Pian" that the farms were busy in summer and the labor was tight; the autumn was rainy and the soil was wet;Therefore, the best time to build dikes is March in spring, because the soil material is relatively dry and easy to firm up at this time.

Counting from now to March next year, there is still more than half a year.

However, he could find an opportunity to ask Nan Huairen about their architectural knowledge.

After coming out, the weather gradually cooled down.The princes began to attend classes all day again, studying culture in the morning and military physical education in the afternoon.

Yinyou began to study and practice calligraphy with his brothers again, riding horses and archery.

Brother Six has completely recovered from his illness.However, in the autumn dry season, if the children drink less water, it is inevitable that they will cough once or twice.

Yinyou sat behind the sixth elder brother, and when he heard him cough, his heart unconsciously picked up.

Because last time, Brother Six almost lost his life due to a serious illness, and it started with a slight cough.

So the little guy was very attentive, moved to the end of get out of class time, and came to Brother Six with a tea bowl in his hand: "Brother Six, hurry up, drink some water."

Sixth elder brother glanced at him: "I want to drink water, haha ​​the beads will pour it for me, do you need it?"

Yinyou waved his hand: "It's okay, I just want to pour it for you." He pushed the tea bowl towards Sixth Brother, "Hurry up and drink."

He was so enthusiastic, and the sixth elder brother had nothing to do with him, so he poured several bowls of tea for himself in the morning.As a result, when the master spot-checked and recited, he suddenly wanted to pee.

The master thought that he couldn't memorize the memorization, and was looking for an excuse, so he insisted on holding back and didn't let him go, so that the sixth elder brother almost peed his pants in class and made a fool of himself in public.

Yinyou didn't notice this at all. After the snow fell, he immediately passed by holding a teacup.

Brother Six stood up and ran, Yinyou chased after him: "Brother Six, Brother Six, where are you going? Drink some water first."

"Drink it yourself." The sixth elder brother had already left the door of the study, and the voice came in impatiently from outside the courtyard, "Drink it yourself!"

At this time, the fifth elder brother came over suddenly, and said in a strange way: "Look, you are so in love with someone who is cold ass, why are you so courteous to him?"

At this time, Eighth Prince and Baotai also leaned over, and Yinhu said in a low voice: "Ms. Defei has been grounded again, and Ama won't let her out of the gate of Yonghe Palace."

The fifth elder brother also said: "I also heard that Ah Ma wants her to move out of the Yonghe Palace."

Baotai asked stupidly: "Where are you moving?"

The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Yinyou handed the teacup to Fifth Brother: "Fifth Brother, drink it, I want to pee too."

Autumn is here, and it is indeed easy to feel uncomfortable in the throat. The imperial concubine specially made some autumn pear ointment that nourishes the lungs, and added some tangerine peel and black plum in it.Put a spoonful in a teacup and rinse with hot water. The sweet and sour taste is especially popular with children.

So, Yinyou carried the basket and happily went to give presents again. The Palace of Compassion and Ningshou and the Palace of Ningshou had to give one each, and the Palace of Yuqing also had one, and then the second, third and fourth princesses, And three younger brothers, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the eleventh elder brother.The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are too young to give away.

The rest was taken to the study and distributed to his brothers, but he met a man on the way.

The little guy happily entered the Qianqing Palace and went straight to the study.At this time, someone came towards him. It was getting dark now, and it was still early in the morning. He didn't see who it was, so he was stopped by someone.

The little guy raised his head, and with the dim light of the lantern, he could see clearly: "Ama!"

Kangxi has been so busy recently that he has no time to go to the study to check the homework of his sons.Except for the prince, no one can easily see him.

He just went to court today, and he was still wearing court clothes.Just about to go to Zhaoren Hall to change clothes, and then go to Compassion Ning Palace to greet the Empress Dowager, who knows that there will be an unexpected harvest on the way.

Kangxi stood still, Yinyou understood immediately, and hurriedly saluted: "I send greetings to Khan Ama."

"Get up," Kangxi looked around, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs had already gone away, and there was no one else nearby except eunuchs and guards.Only then did he berate his son, "What time is it and you go to the study?"

The little guy said timidly: "I, I... I will chat with you for a while, the master should be here."

Kangxi gritted his teeth, really wanted to slap him twice, but he really couldn't do it.Anyway, this little guy is different from other sons.He wasn't worried at all that he would fall out of favor with Khan Ama, anyway, he was favored by the Empress Dowager, and no one could do anything to him.

The old father was so angry with himself that he could only grit his teeth and let him go.

"Wait!" Yinyou walked out two steps, Kangxi stopped him again: "Why do you still bring a basket when you go to study?"

The basket was carried by the eunuch, Yinyou glanced back, and then said: "It's the autumn pear ointment made by Er Niang. It is said that it can nourish the lungs and relieve cough. I brought some for each of my brothers."

Kangxi asked him: "You only think about your brothers."

"No, no, I also let go of Uku Mama and Huang Mama, and my sister, younger sister and younger brother are all given away."

The old father understood: "Ama is the only one who didn't deliver it?"

"..."

Changing to another elder brother, I immediately took out a bottle to honor Ama. After all, such an opportunity is really rare.Not to mention a bottle of autumn pear cream, as long as Ama is happy, it is not a problem to send ten or eight bottles.

But when he came to Yinyou's place, he was unwilling.Because the quantity is just right when I go out, if I give it to Ama, there will always be a brother who can't be separated.

Didn’t the sage Confucius also say that it’s not about being few but about being uneven, which can easily lead to conflicts between brothers.

But the little guy still reluctantly took out a small porcelain pot from the basket, and handed it over: "Ama, I'll give you the big brother's share, don't tell him."

Kangxi: "..."

Has the old father reduced himself to grabbing some autumn pear cream with his son?He waved his hand: "You'd better give it to the boss."

Without any hesitation, Yinyou put the small porcelain pot into the basket again, then walked over and took La Ama's hand: "Don't be angry, your imperial concubine still has a lot of them, I'll keep them for you."

"That's what the imperial concubine left for me."

The little guy raised his head and gave him a sly smile: "I asked the imperial concubine to leave it for you."

Kangxi couldn't help but raised the corners of his lips, and slapped his little butt: "Hurry up and study!"

This day, Yinyou was waiting for Nalan to come to teach him in the small study, and Fu Dun was beside him, and the two chatted for a while.Yinyou brought this dictionary with him, taking advantage of this time, he opened it and flipped through a few pages.

Fullerton looked aside and said, "The Anthology of Chen Jialing, the name is a little familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere, or heard someone say it."

"Really?" Yinyou didn't know at all, so he just smirked, "I took it casually, and I would look it up when I have nothing to do. But I think this person's words sound like Su and Xin's boldness. "

He thought for a while, and then said, "But there are some things I don't understand, such as this one."

Fu Dun was about to lean his head to look over, when Nalan walked in from the outside.

Seeing the master coming, Yinyou sat down quickly, and Fu Dun glanced at Ama, and also stood aside.

Yinyou has a good memory and a strong comprehension ability. He has already learned the "Book of Songs" and can memorize them all.

Now Nalan began to teach him the second of the "Five Classics" - "Shangshu", also known as "Book of Books".

The first one to learn is "Yao Dian".Articles are not as catchy as poetry, so it is naturally more difficult to learn.Moreover, Kangxi's requirement for his sons was to be able to recite and explain, so the learning progress was very slow.

"Quiet words are not contradictory, but respectful and respectful." Nalan asked, "Does Seventh Brother know what it means?"

Yinyou shook his head: "I don't know."

Nalan patiently explained to him: "Flirtatious words, obsequious and contradictory, seem to be respectful, but in fact they are contemptuous and disrespectful."

"Rong Ruo..."

In class, Yinyou always called Nalan Master, and suddenly called him his watch, and Nalan understood that although there was no Western clock in the study room, Seventh Brother had it in his heart, and this was to remind him that it was time to dismiss the get out of class.

At this time, the voices of several older brothers were also heard from outside.Nalan glanced down at the book.Although the content is not much, but what should be said has been explained clearly.

Seventh elder brother is so anxious, let's dismiss the get out of class.

Unexpectedly, Yinyou took out the "Chen Jialing Collected Works" again, pointed to a sentence on it and said, "Rong Ruo, I don't understand this sentence, can you explain it to me?"

Yinyou often read some poems or articles by himself, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he would bring it over and ask Nalan for advice.

When I explained to him the two pieces of "Golden Hazel Song" by Gu Zhenguan, Nalan's eyes were wet, and he felt a little emotional, wondering when he and his friends would meet again.

Later, I told him "The Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng", secretly occupying class time, explaining to him sentence by sentence, more than 50 allusions, all of which were explained clearly to him.

Therefore, if the little guy has something he doesn't understand, he is very happy to come and ask him with a book.

Nalan walked around the desk with a smile and looked in the direction of the little guy's finger.Good guy, I almost didn't mention it in one breath, so I was so angry with myself.

Yinyou didn't notice his strangeness, and asked self-consciously: "It's this sentence, 'Traveling is as sad as Shaoyun's companion, and the sea is colder and longer'."

The little guy pointed down again: "There is also this sentence 'read it as waiting for the emperor to return, and not returning to sit alone until dawn'."

"Also, this 'Jiangnan Red Bean lovesickness is bitter, every year is spent before the memory of the king'..."

Nalan wished he could cover his mouth, and finally just raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's alright, alright, stop reading."

He took the book over and asked, "Seventh Brother, who gave this to you?"

"I just picked it up on the shelf." Yinyou thought for a while, "By the way, it seems that Ziqing gave it to me. He gave me a lot of books that day, so this is one of them."

Nalan gritted his teeth: "Cao Ziqing, I can't spare you!"

So, he immediately turned around and walked out. Yinyou stood up from behind the desk and shouted, "Rong Ruo! Where are you going?"

Nalan walked out without looking back: "I'm going to the accounting department."

Yinyou and Fu Dun glanced at each other, and then beckoned each other to go out: "Hurry up, let's go and have a look too!"

When I came out, I happened to meet the sixth elder brother. Now Yin Zuo was afraid of him. When he saw him from a distance, he dodged and hid behind the pillar.

He thought the little guy would rush over regardless and ask him if he had any water.As a result, people rushed out of the courtyard as if they didn't see him.

"Xiao Qi, where are you going? It's time for lunch."

Yinyou ran away without looking back: "I'm going to watch the excitement!"

Nalan angrily broke into the accounting office, which was busy.Cao Yin and a few members of the accounting department, Wailang, were checking the accounts. They calculated back and forth twice, and there seemed to be some discrepancies. Work honestly.

At this time, Nalan was inconvenient to disturb, so he had to stand aside and wait.

Yinyou and Fu Dun also followed. The two hid behind the door and looked inside secretly.

Fu Dun is more than three years older than Yinyou, and is more than a head taller than him.He was so honest, he was almost spotted when he poked his head out, Yinyou hurriedly dragged him back.

Yinyou asked: "What did you see?"

Fuller replied truthfully: "I saw me, Ama, standing beside me, with my hands behind my back, and I clenched my fists."

He bit his lower lip, and added: "Maybe I want to wait for Mr. Cao to finish his work, and then go up and beat him up."

Yinyou shrank his neck. Although he still didn't understand why Rong Ruo wanted to beat Cao Yin, he knew that it must have something to do with himself and the anthology.

At this time, the work of the accounting department was finally finished, and the others dispersed separately, preparing to take a short break and have lunch.

Cao Yin sat alone at the table, leaned back and put his head on the back of the chair, squeezed the space between his eyebrows with his thumb and index finger.

He understood the emperor's intentions and got him to the accounting department to deal with money all day long. In the final analysis, it was just to let him inherit his father Cao Xi's unfinished business one day.

Seeing that everyone around him was gone, Nalan rushed over murderously, threw the book on the table with a "snap", his fists were clenched with a "crack", and without saying a word, he swung the book past.

Cao Yin reacted so quickly, before the punches and kicks landed on him, he stepped back, brought the chair down, and bounced away.

Yinyou shouted excitedly: "It's a fight, it's a fight, let's go and see!"
