Four Masters Backyard Group Pet Guide [Qing Chuan]

"So, it seems that the emperor believed it."

Wu Yu smiled faintly, poured two cups of tea with his own hands, and invited Kangxi and Yinzhen to sit down.

Yinzhen was still expressionless as before, and there was no abnormality in his expression, but there was a trace of embarrassment on Kangxi's face.

"It's true that what the envoy said before was too unimaginable. As the king of a country, I have to let someone investigate carefully first. Please forgive the envoy for neglecting the envoy."

It is not known whether the matter is unbelievable, or Kangxi himself is suspicious.

Wu Yu didn't take Kangxi's words seriously, but said slowly:

"Your majesty is serious. I am just a mortal chosen by the beast. It doesn't matter if the emperor believes me or not. It's just..."

If you don't believe me, you just don't believe in divine beasts!I don't know if the beast is happy or not~

Wu Yu didn't say any more when he said this, and Kangxi was also breathless at the moment, remembering that the rain he saw when he came here had shrunk by nearly half, and he couldn't help being a little anxious:

"This is my fault. I am willing to issue an imperial edict to appease the anger of the beast!"

Wu Yu is very calm:

"Divine beasts will not be angry. If the divine beasts were angry, the emperor would not see me here."

"Yeah, too."

Kangxi smiled reluctantly:

"I have dispatched imperial envoys to deal with the matter of Xuanping. But, what are the common people doing? Now that Xuanping has been suffering from severe drought for two months, I still ask the divine envoys... to have pity on the common people!"

Kangxi directly put one big hat after another on Wu Yu's head. If Wu Yu was just an ordinary woman in the back house, she was really shocked by Kangxi's words.

But Wu Yu is not.

Wu Yu just blinked and looked at Kangxi:

"The people are indeed innocent, but the culprit of this man-made disaster is corrupt officials. I'm curious, what kind of corrupt officials have the guts to cover their eyes?"

So who is to blame?

Wu Yu put the high hat back on Kangxi, Kangxi was a little embarrassed:

"It's my fault, it's my previous acquaintance who didn't know."

The area around Jiangsu and Zhejiang was the granary of the Qing Dynasty. Although the accident happened in a small Xuanping area in Zhejiang, it also represented internal problems in the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The current governor of Zhejiang, Zhao Shenqiao, was recommended by the governor of Zhili, Li Guangdi. Kangxi believed in Li Guangdi, but he didn't expect that the fault happened to Zhao Shenqiao.

Zhao Shenqiao has a concubine who is the wife and sister of the magistrate of Xuanping County. Because of his brother-in-law relationship, Zhao Shenqiao is very lenient to the magistrate of Xuanping County.

The specific performance is that the usual assessment blows him up, and the year-end assessment is perfect for him. No, when the Xuanping County Magistrate's "big plan" (the three-year examination of the Ministry of Officials) last year, Zhao Shenqiao also helped him Ready to go.

At present, the results have been reported, waiting for Kangxi to review.

Normally, at this stage, Xuanping's official career as a county magistrate is extremely clear, and it is absolutely not bad, but at this juncture, Xuanping suddenly suffered a severe drought.

The drought could be controlled at first, but the county magistrate Xuanping drifted away, busy daydreaming about the better days after he was promoted.

When he found out that the drought was out of control, he was so bold that he wanted to suppress it by himself!

He made great efforts to restrain the people in the territory, and before the imperial court's promotion order came down, he must make no mistakes.

In fact, according to Xuanping's prosperity in the past, it was only a year of severe drought, which didn't really hurt his muscles and bones, but what Kangxi hated was this person's deception.

You know, the magistrate of Xuanping county used to show that he had achieved a lot in political affairs, but when he knew that Xuanping was in severe drought, he still boasted that Xuanping had good weather and a good harvest this year, which would definitely bring more taxes to the imperial court!

Even, he himself promised that the tax should be one and a half of what it used to be.

Where does this tax come from?

Naturally, the magistrate of Xuanping County couldn't afford it, so it would only be spread on those people who suffered from the drought.

Not only do they have to use their past savings to support themselves, but they also have to make a superficial achievement for the county magistrate of Xuanping. How can the people not complain about this? !

However, Kangxi did not mention this matter in front of Wu Yu before, even if she is an envoy of God, she is only a teenage girl, how could she understand these political matters.

Seeing that Wu Yu really couldn't fool around, Kangxi lowered his figure and said in a low voice:

"The magistrate of Xuanping County acted recklessly, knowing that there was a drought, and in order to hide it, he began to demand taxes from the people suffering from the drought at the beginning of this month.

He even raised taxes privately, there is no way I will pamper him lightly!But now Xuanping County has experienced severe drought for more than two months... Could the envoy be accommodating and let the divine beast forgive and rain down. "

Kangxi said so, then stood up and bowed to Wu Yu, Yinzhen also stood up quickly, and followed Kangxi to salute.

Yin Zhen looked at Wu Yu who was sitting still, and always felt that she was not so easy to fool.

"Since this is the case, the day when the people's grievances subside is the day when the rain falls from the sky."

Wu Yu replied.

Wu Yu also wants to rain down immediately, but her ability is limited now, and it will take some time.

After all, even if there were many problems with what Kangxi said just now, there was nothing wrong with one sentence of his.

The common people are innocent.

Innocent people should not pay the bill for those in power who do not know who they are.

"Of course, if the emperor wants to stabilize the hearts of the people, I'm willing to go through it. Now that the beast is infested with resentment, it will definitely not do what the emperor wants. I would like to go to Xuanping for the beast to see the people's anger and peace of mind."

"you……"

Kangxi was tangled up.

From the moment he knew that Wu Yu was an envoy of the gods, he felt grateful in his heart that this woman is now in the back house of his fourth son.

How about a woman, a woman will not easily step out of the back country, even if she arches him high, she can still keep the wind and rain smooth, the country peaceful and the people safe.

but now……

"The divine beasts naturally recognize me as a divine envoy, and they will teach me supernatural powers. Now there is no suitable candidate other than me."

No, no, it seems that Kangxi has not given up the idea of ​​confessing himself? !

It's one thing to not want to move your own salted fish, but it's another thing to be confessed that you can't go anywhere.

Wu Yu saw a trace of hesitation on Kangxi's face, and couldn't help but touched his chest in fear. Fortunately, he hadn't recognized the identity of the divine beast before, otherwise Kangxi would have no such hesitation.

"One day the people's grievances are unjust, and the beasts will be harassed by the grievances one day, which is of no benefit to the emperor."

Wu Yu spoke slowly.

Kangxi glanced at Wu Yu. Although he admired Wu Zhuguo a lot during his southern tour, he never thought that his daughter was not an ordinary person. Kangxi could only nod his head lightly at this moment.

"The envoy of the gods is willing to go through this experience, it is my great blessing, how can I not agree?"

This is a decision Kangxi made after careful consideration in his mind.

Previously, his suspicion had offended the envoy if he thought about it, so he couldn't offend the envoy again because of this matter.

Besides, he also wanted to make sure how much this envoy weighed.

The feudal emperor was able to become the lord of a country with the gods who were ordered by the sky, and he was worshiped by all the people.However, how many emperors had auspicious events during their reign?

Besides, if this is the case, why can his Ama leave the country and heirs behind for a woman, but see no punishment from heaven?

However, all the things that happened in front of him told Kangxi that this was true, so Kangxi is now in an extremely contradictory state.

Kangxi thought for a moment, then said:

"If the envoy wants to go, I dare not stop him. For the sake of convenience, let the fourth son go with you. By the way, the prince has been contemplating behind closed doors in the palace for a long time, and it is time to go out to relax. The fourth son always You have a very close relationship with the prince, so let the prince be with you. You should take care of each other along the way."

Yinzhen has been listening quietly with lowered eyes. When he heard the front, Yinzhen still didn't feel how to give instructions. When he heard Kangxi mentioning the prince, although Yinzhen agreed in a deep voice, there was still a flash of pain in his eyes. .

As the son of Huang Ama, why does Huang Ama always remember the second brother?

Previously, Huang Ama was tossed and turned because of the second brother's affairs, she stayed up all night, and even stayed up all night to get angry.Later, he still sent up the plaster that he had so easily obtained from Wu Yu.

Now, this woman with extraordinary supernatural powers is his Ge Ge, and it is only natural that he leads to Xiao Ge Ge, but Huang Ama still does not forget to bring his second brother along.

He even clearly knew that if Wu Yu was a woman in the second brother's back house, Huang Ama would never think of him at all.

When Wu Yu heard what Kangxi said, he scratched his ears with his hands indecently.How come, you still bring this kind of back door in to get credit?

Kangxi made it clear before that he didn't believe in him, but now he insists on inserting his prince, what does this mean?

Since he wants to fortify people, he must also fortify himself!

"Since that's the case, the emperor wants to stuff foreign men, cough, join us, then please allow me to bring a few sisters to accompany me to relieve my boredom!"

Kangxi: "..."

Yinzhen:"……"

"Fourth, what do you think?"

Kangxi used his toes to figure out who Wu Yu was talking about, but in this way, his idea of ​​letting the prince get close to the envoy fell through.

Yes, the reason why Kangxi asked the prince to accompany him was to let the prince get close to Wu Yu.

After all, the ability Wu Yu has shown so far is very convincing!

There are only advantages and no disadvantages for the prince to be close to him. The prince is the prince. After a hundred years, there will still be many places for the prince to rely on the envoy of the gods.

Although Kangxi was angry with his son at Suo'etu, that was also the son he brought up with his own hands.Now he still has a fatherly heart for the prince, and he was ready to pave the way for the prince as early as he learned of this matter.

This is also where Yinzhen is sad.

The implicit meaning of Kangxi's question is obviously to make Yinzhen refuse by himself.

Yinzhen opened his mouth to look at Wu Yu, and saw Xiao Gege looking at him with those clear eyes, making him unable to even say the words of rejection.

"Your majesty, fourth master is your son. Do you dare to have anything against you when you order him?"

Wu Yu lazily kicked the ball back, and Kangxi didn't expect that his son, who used to be cold and hard, would not know how to speculate on his own thoughts at this moment, but he was not easy to get angry, so he just said stiffly:

"If the fourth child is willing, I naturally have nothing to say."

When Kangxi said this, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

But Yinzhen pretended he didn't hear it, so he just lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Kangxi sat on the spot for a while, didn't get the answer he wanted, and didn't stay any longer, so he got up and left.

When Kangxi left, Yinzhen naturally had to follow.Not long after, Wu Yu's Xitaoyuan became empty and quiet again.

Wu Yu didn't get up, but asked Yun Xin to bring over the almond cheese specially prepared by Fujin, and sat on the stone table lazily looking at the rain scene around him.

After some time, the rain scene will be gone.

As for Kangxi's displeasure just now, what's the matter with her?What Wu Yu said just now was correct, divine beasts would indeed be disturbed by mortal resentment.

She still hasn't said that when she realized her epiphany, she was so overwhelmed by the resentment of the people that she almost couldn't stand it. This has nothing to do with Kangxi, the emperor of the world!

Wu Yu rubbed his tired eyebrows. In the past, in modern times, there were elders in the clan who shared the grievances and intrusions he suffered for him, but this is not the case now.

She misses the patriarch grandpa, misses her uncle, misses...

She really only wants salted fish!Why make things difficult for her, a little Xuanwu?

Furiously, Wu Yu finished another bowl of almond cheese before lazily standing up.

Because Wu Yu's magical powers leaked out these days, the yard has been raining continuously, so two days ago, Fujin specially asked craftsmen to build a rain-proof path for Wu Yu from the stone table to the eaves in the rain.

It is not difficult to make this path, just pave a path with bluestone slabs in the yard, and make handrails in the style of railings beside the path.

On the top is a row of tung oil umbrellas carefully crafted by craftsmen, and the umbrellas are painted with ink paintings drawn by Fujian themselves.

The more Wu Yu and Fujin got acquainted, the more she found that Fujin was an outstanding and incomparable woman.

At least, in Fujin's mansion, no one in the mansion dared to deceive his subordinates.

Yes, Wu Yu is connoting Kangxi.

As for Fujin's embroidery, painting, accounting and other skills... Wu Yu thought that if this was a game interface, Fujin's skill points would have been maxed out!

Wu Yu has always been salty, but it doesn't mean she doesn't admire outstanding people.Now Wu Yu was walking on the dry tung oil umbrella path, looking up at the ink painting drawn on the tung oil umbrella.

Along the way, it was as if he had just escaped from a wonderful and beautiful illusion, which made Wu Yu's originally gloomy mood a little easier.

Wu Yu's voice is brisk:

"Jun Xin, go ask Fujin the forms and numbers I gave her before, does she know all of them? If there is anything else you can't do, you can come and ask me, Fujin hasn't come yet today."

Wu Yu would never admit that she was the melon and fruit snacks that Qian Fujin brought for him before.

The people in the dining room in the mansion, no matter how much Fujin greeted him, the dim sum they gave Wu Yu were all the best ones, but they couldn't compare to Fujin.

After all, the rules are there.So Wu Yu is very greedy for the snacks in Fujin's order. After Fujin knew about it once, he would bring some snacks every time he came here, and they were all Wu Yu's favorite flavors.

Here Yun Xin went to spread the message, and within a quarter of an hour, Fujin had arrived.

"Sister Wu."

Wu Yu pulled Fujin to sit with him on the white jade bed by the window, and Wu Yu threw the original arhat bed into the warehouse to collect dust.

"Fujin won't come to my place today, I'm really panicking! I wanted to go and see Fujin at first, but I thought it would rain wherever I go, so I don't want to disturb Fujin's sunshine."

Fujin's expression at Wu Yu's place became a bit more leisurely than before, and she cast a lazy glance at Wu Yu:

"Sister Wu just speaks up when she's lazy, when will she hide her words?"

Wu Yu pursed her lips:

"Where is it! Fujin wronged people!"

"Ah."

Fujin chuckled, and said no more, but Wu Yu felt that the "heh" already had a lot of connotation, so Wu Yu gave Fujin a resentful look, and then skipped the topic.

"By the way, Fujin came so quickly, but are you done with today's work?"

Speaking of this, Fujin's brows and eyes were tinged with joy.

"It's also thanks to the tables and numbers that my sister taught me before. You say these foreigners still have some skills!"

When Fujin talked about this, she felt extremely happy. The four maids around her were all literate. Ever since Wu Yu asked someone to hand over the Arabic numerals and tables to Fujin that day, Fujin had read it carefully and understood it after a little thought. .

Therefore, these days, Fujin asked the four maids to take turns to help him make the ledger into a form, which looked very clear at a glance, and it took only an hour to read the two stacks of ledgers.

"That's why Fujin is smart! We've been here for a long time with foreigners, and I don't see the adults in the court can take the best of them and learn more from others. Fujin is smarter!"

Arabic numerals were originally introduced from the West. As for the table method, it is the crystallization of modern wisdom. It is impossible for Wu Yu to take it out suddenly and pin it all on foreigners.

Fujin was fine at first, but after being praised by Wu Yu, he couldn't help but blush a little.

"I, I'm not as good as what Sister Wu said..."

"But, Fujin is a very good, excellent person!"

As Wu Yu spoke, he counted with his fingers:

"Fujin knows how to calculate accounts, and he is also great at mental arithmetic!"

This was discovered by Wu Yu by accident. She found that although Fujin was flicking the abacus, but Fujin seemed to know the answer, and went down without even looking at it.

"Fu Jin can also embroider, double-sided embroidered yyds!!!"

As Wu Yu spoke, he looked at his early embroidery on the white jade bed that Fujin had sent before, and it was also a double-sided embroidered kang screen.

However, it is embroidered with a map of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers on one side, and embroidered with ink and wash Jiangnan on the other.

The embroidery skills are all first-class and vivid, and the most amazing thing is the villain in the ink and wash Jiangnan scene. If you look closely, it seems that those people are really alive.

"Fu Jin will still..."

Wu Yu wanted to boast more, but Fujin, who was already blushing with shame, covered her mouth.

Chinese people always pay attention to moderation and modesty. Although Fujin has a deep-seated heart since he was a child, he is inevitably influenced by old ideas. He can't stand it before being praised by Wu Yu.

Wu Yu was covered by Fujin, so she had to blink her eyes obediently, signaling for herself not to speak, and then Fujin withdrew her hand.

"So, Fujin is really great! All the girls I know are very cute, but Fujin is the best! So, Fujin must believe in himself!"

In fact, Wu Yu found that although Fujin's people looked the same to him after he lost part of his vest that day, in fact there was still a little bit of inexplicable and unexplainable strangeness.

Maybe it's fear, maybe it's reverence, but it's not the same intimacy as before.

Especially Fujin, Fujin is very thoughtful, and because of his flawed face, this made the women who originally had mountains and rivers hidden in their hearts, and ink Jiangnan women have long been cast in the haze of inferiority.

Wu Yu thought, if he didn't take the step of inviting Fujin here today, he was afraid that Fujin would gradually fade away from him in the future.

Feudal society really kills people!

"Fu Jin is the best, what about us?"

Li walked in from outside the gate, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Wu Yu's cruel smile. Obviously, if Wu Yu didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she would make trouble.

"Sister Li is the smartest! She obviously thought that the Compendium of Materia Medica was extremely difficult to memorize, but she gnawed it down within a month! It's also very powerful!"

Li lifted it up and down arrogantly, without saying a word, but if she had a tail behind her buttocks, she would have been shaking happily already.

This thing is really enough for her to blow!

Song Shi took a step forward without any trace, and coughed lightly.

Wu Yu immediately understood, and immediately praised:

"Sister Song is the most introverted. Ordinary people don't realize the benefits of Sister Song, but Sister Song has a mellow singing voice, which makes people feel at ease. It's rare!"

The corners of Song's lips curved:

"Sister Wu still remembers."

Two days ago when Kangxi sent people to investigate the matter of Xuan Ping, although Fujin and the others believed in Wu Yu's words, they were afraid that something might go wrong.

One by one hurriedly circled around Wuyu's yard like ants on a hot pot, but Mrs. Song took her time and sang a Jiangnan tune for everyone.

Although it wasn't long, everyone became quiet after Mrs. Song finished singing, and the impetuousness in their hearts seemed to drift away with Mrs. Song's singing.

In the past, because of her innate fear of society, the Song family didn't even dare to speak, let alone sing.

Therefore, no one noticed the strangeness of Song's singing. Naturally, Fujin and Li thought Song's voice was nice, but they didn't think about it, but Wu Yu remembered it.

"Hey, I always hang out with everyone, so why don't I know everyone's good?"

Wu Yu said with a smile, but she didn't realize that when she said this, the faces of Fujin and others paused.

Yes, if you are with yourself all day, how can you not know your own goodness?

However, some people really don't know.

Name Yinzhen here.

Fujin and the others glanced at each other, Wu Yu has only been in the mansion for more than two months, but let her talk about everyone's good, she speaks clearly and logically, but what if you ask Yinzhen?

This idea came to Fujin's mind, and when she returned to her main courtyard, she was also thinking about this question.But in the evening, Yinzhen came slowly in the twilight of the setting sun.

At that time, Fujin asked someone to wash his face, and looked at himself in the mirror whose spots on his face were almost invisible, with an unconcealable smile on his face.

"Well...Xia Qing, Sister Wu talked about my embroidery skills today. I have been too lazy all these years, and I have not finished a few pieces. I remember, when I was young, I repaired a box of handkerchiefs. Go and remove them. I'll pick some and send them to Sister Wu along with the ones embroidered two days ago."

Xia Qing was in charge of Fujin's private treasury. As soon as Fujin said that she knew where the thing was, it didn't take long for him to come here with a smile on his hands, holding the box.

Fujin opened the box and picked it carefully, but after picking it out, she found that the handkerchiefs in the box were either embroidered with green pine or bamboo leaves, which were not very suitable for women.

Seeing this, Fujin sighed lightly, and took the handkerchief from the sewing basket beside him.

This time, a rose flower was embroidered on the handkerchief. Fujin remembered that Wu Yu liked roses at that time, so he squeezed some time in the past two days to embroider one.

But it's really hard to get a handkerchief to give away.It seems that I have to work harder in the future.

Just as Fujin was thinking about this, Yinzhen walked in from outside the door. After Fujin saluted, Yinzhen sat at the table very freely and looked at the handkerchief in the box.

"Fu Jin's embroidery skills have become superb recently."

A few days ago, Fujin and Yinzhen reconciled.No one knows whether it is just a superficial reconciliation or a real reconciliation, only that Fujin is willing to let Yinzhen into his yard.

Yinzhen also knew in his heart that what he had done before was really overdone, so he praised Fujin as soon as he came here, but the praise was really not impatient.

Fujin twitched the corner of his mouth:

"Oh, grandpa has really good eyesight."

She just knew that the master couldn't tell that this was her embroidered handkerchief from her early years.

If it was Sister Wu, she would definitely be able to speak clearly about her state of mind when she was embroidering.

Yinzhen rubbed his chin: I always feel that Fujin is connoting something?

Forget it, Fujin and the others have become weird since Little Gege entered the mansion. He came here today, but he wanted to tell Fujin about going to Xuanping for disaster relief.
