Be a group pet in the Qing Palace where the prince and the fourth master have been reborn

The inner city and the outer city of the capital are very lively. The world has been peaceful these years. Although the imperial court did not encourage business, the status of the merchants is also steadily improving, especially the merchants who went to Nanyang and north to Russia. Make trouble for them.

Before going out to do business, not only had to pay taxes, but also spent money to hire bodyguards and guards. Now as long as they are in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, they can save a lot of money for the bodyguards.

The roads in various places are smooth, and it is very convenient to transport grain and goods. More and more missionaries and foreign businessmen came to the Qing Dynasty. Not only are there specialty shops in the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River on the streets, but Western shops are no longer dominated by missionaries.

The foreigners took them for fools, thinking that they didn't know that some western goods couldn't be cheaper locally, and even if they traveled across the ocean to Qing Dynasty, they couldn't be so ridiculously expensive.

It's different for them to open a shop by themselves, they are honest, what do they want to do in business, don't they just want to be honest.

Haha.

The carriage stopped by the side of the road, Yin Qi turned over, let Yin Zhen stay in the carriage obediently and eat snacks, and left a few guards to guard by the side, and then went up to arrest people with auspicious arrogance.

Go out without my brother!Excessive!

In the cubicle facing the street on the second floor, Yinzhen finished arranging the work and was about to drink saliva to moisten her throat when Yin'e stepped on her and almost spit it out, "What are you doing?"

At the door of the cubicle, a few servants who were about to go out stood there in embarrassment, looking at the sky, the ground, and their toes, and finally turned their heads to look at their master in unison.

Yinzhen coughed non-stop, and waved his hands to tell them what to do. While coughing, he invited the elder brother who was blocking the door to come in. He served tea and poured water in a humble way, "Why did Brother Ninth go out? It's hot outside and the sun is shining What should I do?"

"That's right, the sun is so big outside, it's hard to go out." Yin'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and stood beside him with an apologetic smile. He didn't dare to stare back when he was stared at, and stopped talking embarrassingly while rubbing his nose.

Yinqi crossed his arms and looked at the two younger brothers who were obviously guilty, curled his lips and said strangely, "What's wrong with the hot weather, the hot weather didn't stop the two of you from running outside, my younger brother has grown up, his wings are stiff, and he is disobedient, I think My brother is getting in the way..."

Yinzhen knew it was wrong just by listening to the previous words, but as expected, they started to quarrel later, the two of them were caught right this time, and they definitely couldn't be fooled, "Ninth Brother, we knew we were wrong."

No matter how you explain it, the most important thing is to admit your mistakes first.

"What's wrong?" Yinqi snorted, not giving them a chance to change the subject, "What can't I know?"

"It's just to let the people below do some small business secretly. It's Brother Nine's birthday soon. Brother Ten and I are thinking about preparing a surprise for Brother Nine." Yin'e muttered in a low voice. When she was young in the past, things like birthday gifts were arranged by Er Niang. , Now that they are grown up, they also want to prepare by themselves.

Yin Qi pursed his lips, but his attitude was still a bit awkward, "What are you doing for preparing a gift, it will be your birthday in a few months, sending it back and forth is not troublesome enough."

"It's different." Yin'er explained in a serious manner, he and Brother Ten are now doing well, and Brother Nine must be very pleasantly surprised when he sees the gift, how can it be troublesome.

"That's enough, that's enough, Fifteen is still waiting below, I won't tell you guys anymore." Yinqi rubbed his wrists, and one of them gave them a headache, "Take me with you when you go out in the future, don't hide from me."

God knows how confused he was when he couldn't find anyone after class these few days, thinking that he was excluded by the small group of three.

Yinzhen covered her head, trying to dispel the idea of ​​their family's ninth brother, "It's better not to, those things can be done by me and Shiyi, and business affairs are not decent, and it is easy for people to gossip when they see it."

Yinqi looked over quietly, "Yinzhen, do you still remember how our ancestors got started?"

Yinzhen: ...

Yin'er: ...

Yes, the ancestor Nurhachi of their family started out as a merchant and trader and wandered around the Jurchen ministries, and then unified the Jurchen and established the Houjin. Doing business is their ancestral skill. To say that they are not decent is to say that the old ancestors are not decent.

The two of them turned their minds around, and after thinking for a while, they still felt that it was not good enough. It was okay for them to come out once in a while. If they cared about merchants, their Khan Ama would scold them bloody first.

Yinqi didn't bother to argue with them, seeing that they had nothing else to do in the restaurant, he simply took them along, Yinzhen stayed in the carriage by himself, and he didn't feel at ease with guards guarding him.

A kid at this age can't sit still the most, referring to himself, if no one is watching, he just wants to sneak out to play quietly, obedient and obedient, it doesn't exist.

Sure enough, as soon as they got down, they saw a naked head protruding from the curtain of the carriage, as if wondering how high the success rate of getting out was.

What was he talking about, guards are sometimes useless at all, they only guard against danger from the outside world, and subconsciously ignore that the people in the carriage will run out, and by the time they react, they will have already run away.

Yinzhen looked outside with his head poking his head. He was young and rarely had the opportunity to see such a lively scene. There were not only shops on the street, but also small vendors walking around. The sixth brother was ill for several days. If he brought some small Go back and relieve Sixth Brother's boredom, Sixth Brother will get better sooner when he is in a good mood.

He was thinking whether to let the guards take him down directly or sneak out the window by himself, when he looked up and saw the three older brothers coming towards him.

Well, neither way will work.

The child straightened the curtain, pretending that he hadn't done anything just now, and waited for his brothers to come in and sit down, and then obediently greeted them, "Ninth Brother, Tenth Brother, Eleventh Brother."

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

Clever.

On the way, Yinqi had already told Yinti and Yin'er what they were going to do later, when the two of them heard their Khan Ama's arrangement, their first reaction was to think about whether they had offended them Khan Ama during these unlucky days on the [-]th.

Tsk tsk tsk, Khan Amador can't think about it.

Fortunately, they knew that Brother Ninth wanted to save face and didn't show his shock. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to go to Zhang Ying's mansion today, and they could dismantle the carriage on the way.

Yinzhen pinched Yinzhen's face, and asked suspiciously, "Fifteen, it's really not you and brother Jiu who were making a small report?"

There are so many ways to go out from Changchun Garden, why did he choose this way, and happened to see him and Yin'e, too many coincidences to be like a coincidence, he wondered if this stinky boy was playing tricks behind his back.

Yinzhen turned pale with shock, "Brother Ten, don't slander people for nothing. Brother Ninth can testify. My younger brother has never said anything."

Yin Qi narrowed his eyes, "So you and Yin Xiang were lying to me before?"

Yinzhen:! ! !

The child wrinkled his face, looked at this and then that, covered his mouth wisely and shrank into the corner, saying as many mistakes as possible, he can just shut up."

Yinqi let go of the irrelevant people who were involved, and looked at Yinzhen Yiner, who tensed up in an instant, laughing so hard that it made people's scalp tingle, "Yinxiang Yinzhen knows, does Yinti Yinyi know too? Just keep it secret." to myself?"

"Isn't this a surprise for you? What kind of surprise is it for you to know?" Yinzhen thumped his head, wanting to go back to kicking himself out for asking nonsense.

"So can you tell me what the surprise is now?" Yinqi put his face on his face, trying not to look so curious, "You tell me now, lest the surprise turn into a shock."

"No, don't say it." Before Yinzhen could reply, Yin'e covered his mouth first, "Don't worry, Ninth Brother, it will definitely not become a shock, you have to have confidence in us."

Look at that posture, even with the knife on their necks today, they will never reveal a word.

Yin Qi was very curious, like a kitten scratching his itch. This kind of feeling of saying half and half is too uncomfortable. Anyway, it will be his birthday in a few days. Tell him in advance what to do, "Forget it, I don't I asked, but what kind of business do you let the people below do, does Khan Ama know?"

"Of course this kind of thing can't be hidden from Khan Ama, otherwise how can we do it until now, brother Jiu, don't worry, as long as the two of us have not been called over and scolded, it means that this business is safe so far." Yinzhen replied indifferently, although Scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce are the last, but there are so many people in business, and they are idle if they are idle, in case they make a lot of money.

The Russian emperors could send businessmen to the Qing Dynasty, and they could also use businessmen as envoys. None of the envoys who have been envoys to foreign countries throughout the ages would stop by to do business.

The second brother said that Moscow, the capital of Russia, is in a state of chaos. Grand Duchess Sophia and Emperor Peter are fighting fiercely. Sophia and people sent by them are fanning the flames. Peter sent a caravan to the capital with credentials. The friendship between the two countries is actually a deal with their family, Khan Ama, not about money, but about rights.

There are not many Daur people, and the old Maozi looted at the border a few years ago, and there are very few Daur people left. I don't know where to find such a talented person, and he helped the grand duchess Sophia who was dying.

Hatred is terrible, the old man should never have given protection to Ghentpur, the ex-leader of Daur who defected.

Counting with your fingers, Grand Duchess Sophia and Emperor Peter have been fighting for power for more than ten years, and the fight has not yet been decided, and it is long enough.

Yinzhen started to get excited when he mentioned the gossip he heard outside a few days ago. There was no outsider in the carriage, and he couldn't stop talking when he started babbling. Memorize a few articles, so can they be so powerful when they grow up?

In addition to the emperors in the Qing Dynasty, there are emperors in other places. Those emperors are not friendly to them, that is to say, they have to find a way to kill each other.

Ok, I see.

From today onwards, his mission is to protect the fragile Qing Dynasty, one by one, two by one.

The child was ambitious and excited, excited about the purpose of life he had just discovered. Next to him, the three older brothers looked at the younger brother whose size was indescribably smaller than their chest, and did not dampen his enthusiasm with complicated emotions.

It doesn't matter, it's a good thing for a child to have ambition. Let's talk about it when he grows up and finds that Qing Dynasty is not weak.

Yin'e held down his younger brother who was so excited that he was jumping up and down, sighed and talked about other things, "Khan Ama asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare a dowry for the second sister and third sister. It is estimated that they will get married soon, and it is only a blink of an eye for children to grow up , we still have to save a dowry for Suilan."

They themselves haven't married Fujin yet, and each one of them started to worry about their younger sister's marriage. The princess's marriage will be arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it's their turn to save the dowry.

Yin Qi rubbed his head, feeling that his thinking was becoming more and more inconsistent with his younger brothers. Now these two boys only dare to act like older brothers in front of him. If they get married and have children in a few years, they might want to be his father.

Hiss, it's scary just thinking about it.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of Zhang Ying's house. There were guards who came to say hello before, and the old butler of the mansion was waiting at the gate. Unexpectedly, four elder brothers came all of a sudden.

Yinqi often comes here, taking his younger brothers to the study with ease. Their teacher has a lot of errands. Not enough, and was appointed to act as the examiner of next year's examination.

Those who are capable work harder, and those who are capable work harder.

Every time he saw his teacher's long list of titles, he could only comfort himself with the words "those who can do more work."

The Ministry of Rites is free, but the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu are not idle, and the errands related to the imperial examination are even more laborious. In addition, they have to go to the study room to give lectures from time to time, go to the Imperial College to give lectures, and be a Jane in the heart of the emperor. It's not easy being an official.

Zhang Ying invited the elder brothers to the study with a smile, and seeing Yinzhen who was led in by Yinqi, thought that the emperor thought he was not busy enough, so he found a little ancestor for him.

Tucao is back to Tucao, the children who should be taken care of must be taken care of, and he has to teach his grandson when he is at home. Brother Jiu is a deep learner, and there is a little brother who needs enlightenment, just let him adjust the curriculum.

As a Hanchen, to reach his level can be said to be invincible. The emperor entrusted his brothers to him because he valued him. How many people want to teach him are not qualified.

"Teacher, I came here today to show Yinzhen the way. This kid can't sit still. You can teach him the same kung fu as you taught me." Yinqi vaccinated their teacher in advance to prevent him from being angry at that time. Something went wrong.

Zhang Ying responded with a smile. The emperor asked him to pay more attention to Elder Brother Fifteen long ago. He has prepared the introductory textbooks. He also knows how Elder Fifteen behaves in the study room. Children love to play and make trouble. Not a big deal.

"Master Zhang, I will study hard and won't let you complain to Khan Ama." Yinzhen raised his chin and waved his fist solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Nine, I'm smart and can learn things quickly Very soon, I will catch up with you soon."

"Brother Nine, children are ignorant, so don't think too much." Yinzhen stepped forward to block the dumb kid behind him, and laughed to avoid the topic, "The paperweight on Master Zhang's desk is pretty nice." Ha ha."

Zhang Ying:……

I bought it from a street stall in the outer city, and it cost less than half a tael of silver. Brother Shi, you really have nothing wrong with your eyes?

Yin Qi shook his head helplessly, he is not in a hurry to be underestimated, this guy is so anxious, it seems that he is really a scumbag, although he is at the bottom of his brothers, he can still take the imperial examination outside .

Their Khan Ama is too strict, and the impression that he could not learn anything when he was a child is too deep in the hearts of the brothers. God knows that he is no longer what he was back then. The teacher's one-on-one tutorials are very effective. Wait, he is no longer Wuxia Amon.

If you don't believe it, after two months of the Qiuwei exam, he can pass the exam.

Brother Jiu drove the troublesome younger brothers to the outside room, and then asked, "Teacher, next year you will be the chief examiner in Chunwei, will the senior brother be postponed again?"

His unlucky senior brother Tingyu, the teacher stopped him when he was able to pass the exam, saying that he couldn't let his road go too smoothly, too smooth will cause problems in the future, and he must be discouraged when he was young. Only in this way can we stabilize.

Seeing that the person has indeed calmed down, the teacher has become the chief examiner for next year's Chunwei. With this relationship, Senior Brother Tingyu will not be able to end this year's Qiuwei. Afterwards, his father was the chief examiner of the exam, so he had to avoid suspicion no matter what.

They themselves are innocent, and they can't stand the villains jumping up and down. If another big case comes out, all the candidates in this year will be ruined.

"There is no way to do this. Fortunately, Tingyu is young and can wait a few more years." Zhang Ying sat down helplessly. The examination in the examination room is not just an examination. In the right way, to be on the safe side, he can only let his second son wait for a few more years.

In recent years, more and more scholars in the south of the Yangtze River have taken the exam. The local nobles have been relieved and are trying their best to get into the court. Now that there are many Manchus in the court, it is difficult for Han people to get ahead, and the phenomenon of cliques is even more serious.

The aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have been operating there for hundreds of years, and they all miss the glory of their ancestors. As soon as they are relieved, they continue to do what they did before. There are connections everywhere, it seems that if you don't do this, your ancestors will crawl out from the ground and teach them a lesson.

He doesn't care about buying and selling property, but if there is more property, he has to pay taxes to the court. Those people tend to be richer and less willing to spend money, wishing not to give a word to the court, thinking of ways to avoid taxes There are only a few types, the most common one is the reading test. People from aristocratic families flock into the test room, and the interpersonal relationship behind it is intricate. This is the most troublesome thing for him.

Their Zhang family and the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River have always kept the water in the well. In order to prevent their son from being involved, it is worth waiting another three years.

A few years ago, Shandong was doing all the errands and all the food, and the results were good there, but the Confucian family in Shandong was the only one, and the aristocratic families in Jiangnan were much more complicated than Shandong, and the policy could not be implemented even if it wanted to.

When Lord Shunzhi was here, he devoted himself to cracking down on the aristocratic families of the people. Putting aside the land property, the situation of the slaves in groups must be changed. Recently, their emperor is also trying to find ways to reduce the number of coats and slaves under his banner. I think it is also following the late emperor way to go.

These things are very complicated, and I can't explain them clearly in a few words. In short, before the emperor made up his mind to clean up the Jiangnan officialdom, he just wanted to avoid the things there.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't avoid it, he wouldn't even want to be Chunwei's chief examiner.

It would be fine if he could pass smoothly, he would not seek meritorious deeds but seek no faults, he would be afraid that there would be some cheating in the imperial examinations or troubles caused by students in his class, even if he did not make any mistakes, in order to appease the anger of the people of the world, The examiner also has to re-issue.

Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have been questioned innocently or even lost their heads because of being an examiner. I just hope that he will not be hit by the unlucky one.

Zhang Ying was in charge of the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu. Zhan Shifu was the team prepared by Kangxi for the prince. It was like a small court, but the small court was overwhelmed by a big court and could not do anything.

He wants to teach the prince the way of being a king, and he is used to talking about everything. He must let the prince know the seriousness of the matter, but not let the prince do things beyond the prince's status. This scale is difficult to grasp. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Talented, slicker than him, an old guy who has been immersed in the court for decades.

He is worthy of being the son taught by their emperor himself, so he can't accept it.

The prince was relieved, he was too happy to be happy, and there were some things that were not good to say to the prince, but he had no scruples about talking with Yinqi, a student.

The old man has taught Yin Qi for so many years, so it is natural to see that he has no interest in the court. That's fine, Brother Jiu's status is too high, and there is Tong Jia's family behind him, so he doesn't get involved in the messy things in the court Well, if he is really a powerful person, he will definitely not be able to get along with the prince in the future.

His Highness the crown prince's birth mother died young, the royal concubine Tong Jia was in charge of the harem, the Hesheli family had a Suo'etu, Tong Jia's generation had more young people, and in terms of background, the Hesheli family was not as good as Tong Jia's .

It's good if you're not interested, and only if you're not interested can the brothers live in harmony.

Yin Qi didn't expect their teachers to spread from one question to so many. He just wanted to make sure that senior brother Tingyu didn't have to take the exam this year.

Qiu Wei and Chun Wei have to review, even if the brother is a genius, he has to hug his feet before the exam. If he doesn't end this year, he will have more time to think about the water conservancy project of the Qing Dynasty with him.

The most important thing is settled, and the next home court will be handed over to Yinzhen. Yin Qi patted the little boy on the shoulder, turned his head and said a few words to their teacher, and then impatiently took Yinzhen Yiner to find Zhang Tingyu.

Zhang Ying stroked his beard with a smile, lowered his head to meet the shining eyes of the fifteenth elder brother, and reluctantly took out the books he had prepared. The books prepared by him in the study room were not complete, and everyone had different interests. If it is bigger, they have to find books to read by themselves.

Yin Qi is more familiar with Zhang Tingyu's yard than his teacher's study. With his efforts, Zhang Tingyu in the capital successfully became a pen pal with Jin Fu Chen Huang in the governor's yamen of Puhe River, Qingjiang, Jiangsu. It's not easy, but senior brother Ting Yu, who has been known as a child prodigy since childhood, can always come forward.

From the capital to Jiangsu is much closer than from the capital to Paris. They can communicate every month. Compared with their family Khan Ama and Louis XIV, it is extremely convenient.

Yinzhen and Yin'e exchanged glances, listening to Yinqi muttering that Jin Fu was rigid and refused to change, and that the treasury would not be able to save money every year, so he straightened his waist to hide the pride in his eyes.

They can't help with the affairs of the Hedao Yamen. They are just right for such a small matter as lack of money. The people under him negotiate with the Russian businessmen and plan to do something big in the Zhangjiakou area, so as to prevent Shanxi merchants from continuing to dominate , can also find some livelihood for the bannermen in the capital, and earn some pocket money by the way.

When the business in the north is on the right track, he still wants to send people to Nanyang. The Japanese-made copper is across the sea. Unfortunately, he can't directly send troops to occupy the copper mine and mine it himself, but it is not troublesome to spend money to buy it. A boat of ceramic tea It's a good deal to exchange several ships of copper.

This year's birthday gift can't give too many things, and in two years, the two of them will be able to sponsor Brother Jiu to do great things.

Steady, calm, trivial matters, not proud.
