[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Because of the abolition of the crown prince, the fourth master did not establish a reserve as early as the late emperor, but announced that it would be changed to a secret reserve method.

It is to write the name of the heir in the secret decree, and then hide it behind an upright plaque.

When it is suitable, people will take it out and read it out, which will avoid the disputes caused by the early establishment of the reserve.

However, there is no need to guess too much, Geng Yi can know that the name of the heir written in the secret decree must be the eldest son Honghui.

The older Honghui grows up, the more he looks like a young boy who looks exactly like Fourth Master.

He likes to keep a straight face, has a stable temper, and is meticulous in his work. He only shows a little bit of childishness when playing with his younger brothers occasionally.

The Mao concubine gave birth to a little Gege safely in the next year. Compared with her two daughters who died in infancy, this little Gege is much stronger and cries very loudly.

At that time, the concubine Mao was so dazed after giving birth that she was almost too tired to fall asleep. When she heard the cry of the baby, she woke up immediately, and after listening to it for a while, she burst into tears.

Doctor Qu was so frightened that she quickly told her to stop her tears. Crying at this time would damage her eyes!

The concubine Mao naturally knew, but she couldn't stop her tears, not because she was sad, but because she was too happy.

Because this child is much stronger just listening to the cry, and will not cry so hard that you can't hear it unless you listen carefully, like the two little Gege in the front, who is thin and weak.

No matter how meticulously they were taken care of, the two daughters passed away in less than a month, which made Maopin heartbroken.

The concubine Mao wiped away her tears and laughed again. She was very serious during the confinement period. Female doctor Qu would eat whatever she told her to eat and do whatever she asked her to do. No matter it was painful or painful, she still didn't say a word.

The confinement sat well, and when she came out, Mao concubine looked energetic and ruddy.

Little Gege's temperament is completely different from Maopin's, not the kind of gentle and quiet, every time she cries, she is earth-shattering.

Geng Yi took Hong Zhou to see the younger sister, and happened to meet Xiao Gege crying, and the voice could be heard from far away.

She laughed and said, "This reminds me of Hongli when he was a child."

Concubine Xi also laughed: "Yes, Hongli also loved to cry when he was a child. When he cried, he would howl like ghosts and wolves. He could hear it from a long distance away, full of energy."

It seems that this little Gege's body is not bad, Mao's concubine is also blessed.

After hearing this, Hongli said displeasedly: "Emiang, how could I love to cry like my sister when I was young."

Concubine Xi smiled: "You are indeed a little different."

How could it be the same? Hongli cried a lot more than this little Gege when he was a child!

Hongli always felt that Concubine Xi was smiling strangely, pouting in displeasure.

Hong Zhou thought of his own toys instead: "Er Niang, give the sand hammer to my sister."

Geng Yi was a little surprised: "Are you willing to give toys to your sister?"

Didn't Hongzhou treasure that maraca toy so much that he was willing to give Xiaoge away?

What a good brother, Geng Yi patted Hongzhou's little head and praised again and again.

Then Hong Zhou turned around and asked people to give away the fish sand hammer that Geng Yi had painted at the beginning. The one painted by Fourth Master was kept, and he didn't plan to give it away at all.

Geng Yi already knew that this child had always disliked her painting, did he finally seize the opportunity to give it away?

She was about to laugh angrily, and pinched Hongzhou's cheek lightly to let it go.

Hong Zhou saw that Geng Yi's face was not right, and leaned over to press his small cheek against Geng Yi's cheek, so it was difficult for her to continue to be angry, what a clever little ghost!

Honghui also went to see his new younger sister, but every time he cried, he also had a headache, so he didn’t go there much later, and still felt that younger brothers could get along better.

From Geng Yi's point of view, Honghui completely regards taking care of his younger brothers as a rest time.

He will play with his younger brothers, read to them, and occasionally draw together, and the smiles on his face will be more at this time.

Hongshi was the one who made trouble, and often twisted books like pickles.

Once, Hongshi accidentally tore the pages of the book. Hearing the sound, he found it interesting, and wanted to continue tearing, but was taught a lesson by Honghui with a straight face.

Honghui's tone of lecture sounded gentle, and he was not too excited, rather earnest, but he could keep talking until Hongshi fell asleep.

Hongshi probably suffered a headache from reading to him, and he never dared to damage the book again, which made Honghui very relieved.

If Hongshi is number one troublemaker, then Hongli is number two, and his destructive power is still astonishing.

When Honghui taught painting, Hongli could paint the floor with Yancai.

Feeling that a piece of white paper is no longer enough for Hongli, he can draw on paper, and he can't wait to paint the walls as well.

Of course, this action was also taught by Honghui. Hongli was more difficult than Hongshi. It was not enough to read it once, but he had to read it several times before Hongli knew that he could not do this.

Honghui was able to babble several times, and each time he caught Hongli, he stopped talking and grabbed Hongli's small arm to prevent him from running away.

After several confrontations, Hongli couldn't bear Honghui's nagging and finally gave in, and changed to a bigger blank paper, so that he didn't continue to harm the carpet, floor and walls.

Compared with the previous two elder brothers, Hong Zhou has much less worry, but Hong Hui also has a headache, because Hong Zhou doesn't like to move.

When Hongshi and Hongli were waving Yancai paintings, Hongzhou either lay down and dozed off, or lay down on the white paper and drew two strokes casually and then started yawning.

It's fine if he doesn't actively draw, and he likes Hongshi and Hongli. After the painting is finished, the kid Hongzhou runs over to comment.

And every time the comment is "ugly", "not good-looking" and "ugly", there is no other comment.

Hongshi was so angry that he threw away the drawing paper and chased Hongzhou to beat him. Hongli was not happy, so he opened his mouth and cried.

Anyway, Hong Hui didn't know which one to coax first, so he could only grab Hong Zhou, the culprit, and talk about it.

"The two of them are elder brothers. Hong Zhou, you should be more tactful in your words and encourage others. And if you draw with your heart and compare them, they will be convinced, right?"

Honghui said that it was wrong for Hong Zhou to attack others if he couldn't open his mouth.And I don't paint myself, if I paint well, others will feel that Hong Zhou is talented, and they will naturally be convinced.

Otherwise, if Hong Zhou didn't paint, he would run to say that others didn't paint well, who would be happy!

Hong Zhou thought about it for a while and maybe felt that what Hong Hui said made sense, but he was not very satisfied with drawing a few times. After scrapping a lot of white paper, when Fourth Master came over at night, he slipped over and hugged Fourth Master's thigh: " Huang Ama, draw."

The child asked the little eunuch who followed him to prepare paper and pens, and wanted fourth master to draw something at will.

Fourth Master only thought that Hong Zhou liked his own paintings, so he smiled and drew a picture of plum blossoms.

Hong Zhou was very satisfied with the look, so he asked the little eunuch to put it away, and showed it to Hong Hui the next day.

Looking at the handwriting, Hong Hui knew that it was drawn by the fourth master, and he was speechless immediately: "Hong Zhou, you are wrong, how can you let Huang Ama draw it, you should draw it yourself."

Hong Zhou pointed to the painting and said, "This one is pretty."

Honghui was stunned for a moment, thinking what this younger brother meant, was it because he said that Hongshi and Hongli's paintings were not good-looking, because he only liked Siye's paintings?

This requirement is a bit too high, making Honghui dumbfounded.

When Geng Yi found out later, he laughed with Fourth Master: "This kid's cleverness is actually used in this kind of place, and he knows that he can't draw well, so he uses the emperor's painting to make up the number."

The fourth master was also funny, but he took a look at Geng Yi. Hong Zhou's aesthetics followed him pretty well: "His vision is good, but he has to learn to draw slowly, and it doesn't work every time."

Hong Zhou can't cheat every time like this, he must have paintings that he can sell.

Anyway, Hong Zhou has not yet reached the age of enlightenment, so it doesn't matter if he learns to paint first.

It just so happened that Brother Nine had Qin Ran, who was also a master of painting, so Fourth Master invited him to be a painting teacher for the younger brothers.

No matter what to teach, ink painting and Western painting are also fine. There is no need for children to learn too many ingenious things, just paint as they like.

So the person who had a headache changed from Hong Hui to Qin Ran. He also had several children under his knees, but they were more sensible than each other, and each one was more obedient when teaching.

However, it's fine for a few young brothers who can't sit still, and painting is also full of strange things.

Hongshi became impatient after painting for a while, he either got up and ran around or wanted to go out to play.

Hongli can still sit for a while, but every time he draws the boundary, the table suffers.

Forget it, Hong Zhou began to doze off after two strokes, and lay down to sleep when he dropped the brush.

Qin Ran was devastated, and he was glad that he only taught painting, not the enlightenment teacher, otherwise it would be even more painful, and he began to sympathize with the future gentleman who would enlighten the young brothers.

Geng Yi had someone ask Hong Zhou about his painting studies. He felt that Mr. Qin Ran was going to lose his hair soon, so he hugged Hong Zhou and told him that he had to study hard.

"You don't want to draw as well as your Huang Ama, so you have to work hard and practice more. No one can learn how to draw at the beginning and still draw beautifully."

Hongzhou turned his face away, with a look of "I don't understand anything", Geng Yi stretched out his hand to support his cheek and bowed his head, "I know Hongzhou understands, after all, Hongzhou is so smart."

Hearing this, Hong Zhou struggled for a moment, he should respond to show that he is really smart, but after responding, he could no longer pretend not to understand, he hesitated for a while, and nodded slightly.

Geng Yi laughed and said, "Hong Zhou is so good."

Qin then found out later that every time Hong Hui came over, the little elder brothers would behave better.

As soon as Honghui left, the little brothers returned to their original forms.

Qin Ran knew that Honghui had a lot to learn. Apart from practicing martial arts and reading books every day, he also had to study with the emperor and help him sort out the notebooks.

When the courtiers were discussing matters, the emperor did not let Honghui leave, but stayed to listen.

Honghui may not understand everything at first, but after hearing and seeing, he can understand some gradually, and more and more gradually.

Qin Ran actually didn't understand why the emperor asked brother Honghui to study with him so early. After all, the former emperor raised him with his own hands because his biological mother had passed away when he was born. Naturally, he did not avoid the prince and kept him with him all the time.

But Geng Yi could vaguely guess that the biggest reason for the deposed prince to become like this was the late emperor.

The first emperor originally felt sorry for the prince who lost his mother early, so he decided to raise him himself and pampered the prince.

The crown prince doesn't need to do anything, all he needs to do is to enjoy the favor of the late emperor, and everything will be taken care of by the crown prince, without the crown prince bothering.

However, the emperor's favor is sweet honey, but it is also a knife

It can make people gain supreme power, but it can also lose everything because of a word from the emperor.

The prince has been living in such fear, not to mention that when he got older, the first emperor felt jealous of this young and strong son, which turned into a tragedy.

And the prince is almost a child spoiled by the first emperor, who knows nothing, will be extremely flustered when encountering troubles, and will start to make foolish tricks as soon as he is instigated by the people around him.

Just like those children who are worried about getting sick by their parents when they are born, they are locked in a sterile ward, and they can't adapt to the outside environment at all when they go out. They can only retreat to that restrained place, and they may live like this for a lifetime.

Tragedy occurs when parents do not guide their children correctly.

The fourth master probably also saw this, and established the correct three views for Honghui since he was a child.

Let Honghui see it with his own eyes and hear it with his own ears, instead of just relying on what others say.

The fourth master gradually cultivated his ability, let Honghui do what he can do, instead of just pampering the child, and finally growing up to be a bear child who will only hate and reprimand him. This is not what a parent should do .

Children need care, restraint and guidance to grow up, so that they can walk on the right path.

Of course, Geng Yi felt that with the queen around, it would be difficult for Hong Hui to grow crooked.

Doting and caring are not the same as spoiling, the fourth master and the empress knew this very well.

When he grew up, Honghui did have the style of the fourth master, with a gentle temperament and decisive actions.

It seems that his temper is much better than Fourth Master's, and he is not so jealous, but when it is time to act, Hong Hui is also unequivocal.

Anyone can intervene, as long as they come up with reasons that can convince him, otherwise Honghui will do as he wants.

He listened to the remonstrance, and he also saw the intercession.

But only kowtow and showing weakness to intercede, Honghui refused to accept them all.

The courtiers looked at Honghui sitting on the dragon chair, and then realized that he and Fourth Master had indeed different temperaments, but they were still not so easy to fool!

Either convince him, or shut up!

But this is also a matter of many years later, Honghui is still a limp and blushing young boy, and a good brother.

He saw Qin Ran's embarrassment, so he took time to visit his younger brothers every day, and talked to a few younger brothers along the way, so as to restrain Qin Ran so that Qin Ran would not be too embarrassing.

Hongshi and Hongli restrained a little, but Hongzhou still failed to complete a complete painting.

He tore half of the painting, and tore it up when he was not satisfied. There were torn papers all over the table, and the paintings on it could not be seen clearly.

Qin Ran had the most headache for Hong Zhou, and didn't know what to do.

Hong Hui asked Qin Ran to relax a bit, and told Hong Zhou to play freely.

He secretly looked at it for a while, Hong Zhou actually painted well, although he was a little immature, but he was more talented than Hong Shi and Hong Li, he could tell what was drawn at a glance, and the colors were bright and harmonious.

It's just that Hong Zhou has high demands on himself, and he keeps tearing up when he always feels dissatisfied.

Anyway, he practiced a lot, and he would always find his own way.

Then Hong Zhou tore it up for two years, and finally managed to finish a painting. Qin Ran stroked his beard and felt relieved.

What Hong Zhou painted was a lotus, and he probably wrote it down when he followed Geng Yi to enjoy the flowers in Xia Tian, ​​so he drew it.

The lotus shows its sharp corners, or it is in bud, or it is in full bloom. With the surrounding green leaves as a backdrop, you can see the beauty of this painting with just a few strokes, as if there is a lotus pond in front of you.

Only then did Qin Ran believe that Honghui's words about Hongzhou's talent in painting were not just for his younger brother's sake.

Hong Zhou also gave the painting to Si Ye, which surprised Si Ye greatly.

After all, Hong Zhou, a person who would rather sit than stand, and lie down than sit, actually worked hard for two years to draw a picture, and then gave it to him.

Fourth Master smiled and said, "If you're so willing, why don't you give it to me?"

Hong Zhou nodded and said: "Huang Ama gave my son a painting, and my son should return the gift."

It's just that this ceremony took a long time to return, and it has been several years.

The fourth master stroked Hong Zhou's little head and felt relieved, this child is a nostalgic, even though the shaker he gave before was old, he kept it well, and because Geng Yi said it was drawn by the fourth master, he knew how to return the gift.

Hongzhou's temperament is similar to Geng Yi's, if others treat her well, Geng Yi will treat others better.

Of course, Hong Zhou's aesthetics resembled his own, not Geng Yi's, and Fourth Master was quite pleased.

After seeing the lotus picture, Geng Yi felt that Fourth Master liked it.

The number of leaves is symmetrical on both sides, not more on one side and less on the other, and the colors are also harmonious. No matter how you look at it, obsessive-compulsive disorder feels comfortable.

It's rare that Hong Zhou's chess skills are also good. He beat Hong Shi and Hong Li in military chess, and occasionally even drew with Hong Hui.

Naturally, Honghui gave way to his younger brother, but Honghui is already very powerful at this age.

Geng Yi's chess skills have not improved over the years, but her mind has not been on it all the time, and she still focuses more on eating and drinking.

Elder Brother Thirteen and Elder Fourteen both had big fat sons last year, and they are very happy.

The thirteenth elder brother was sent by the fourth master to the official department to help clear up the problem of redundant staff.

Brother Jiu went to the Ministry of Accounting. The original rules of the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting are rules, but they are too strict.

Money is saved, but it is also necessary to earn more. No one is better at this than Brother Jiu. The fourth master sneaked him into the treasury to help earn money.

Brother Nine did think of a few ways to earn money, the treasury was filled day by day, and he even earned himself a prince. He was very happy every day.

But the fourteenth elder brother first led the army to march north, and fought for several years, and after returning to rest for a long time, he ran to the south again.

For him, the days of going on an expedition are not as good as living in the capital, but he is also more comfortable, and the treasury has money, and the supplies are pretty good.

It's just that every time I go back, the ninth elder brother has to tell the fourteenth elder brother about his life, let him spend a little less, and don't fight next time after this fight!

But it's not Fourteenth Brother who has the final say on this matter. It's not necessary for those who don't have a good eye to provoke them, and it's not their fault.

It is impossible to take the initiative to negotiate peace. We can only talk after the other party is convinced.

Elder Fourteen thinks that he still has a chance. When it's time to make a move, most of the time it's mainly threats and scares, so don't waste too many troops and weapons.

Ninth elder brother believed him to be evil, and couldn't stop fighting every time. If the other party didn't keep begging for mercy, fourteenth elder brother would still be a little bit unsatisfied!

Thanks to the presence of him in the national treasury, the income has increased a lot compared to before, otherwise he would not be able to resist the fourteenth elder brother's style of play.

But there were invincibles all around, and the fourteenth elder brother had no chance to go out again, so he could only honestly teach his son martial arts at home, which really let the ninth elder brother breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if the national treasury has accumulated a huge amount of wealth over the years, no matter how much the income is, it will soon be unable to keep up with the expenditure under the style of Fourteenth Elder Brother!

The only good news is that the new tsar fought vigorously with the steward of the Strow family. The butler fled with the money and was stopped halfway. After that, a large piece of land was encircled and entered.

Forget it, a branch of the salt mine of the Strow family was discovered in this land, a new salt mine!

Although it is not as good as the huge salt mine that can be dug for 300 years, it is still quite good, and it is possible to dig for decades.

The tenth elder brother couldn't think of leaving. He thought he was going to lose his job because the salt rock was gone. Who knew that the fourteenth elder brother had found a new salt mine again!

The eighth elder brother stayed in the western region for many years, and finally completely split the Junggar tribe and gradually assimilated it. There is no such tribe anymore.

He didn't stay for long after returning to Beijing, and followed Brother Fourteen to the north, taking the opportunity to divide the people on the side of the new czar, so that the other party would not make a comeback after recuperating, which would be troublesome.

After the new tsar came to power, he immediately formed a huge harem, but in just a few years, he had more than a dozen sons.

These women are not good at quarreling, and the eighth elder brother provokes them, and then bribes the people around them to play tricks on each other, and they can immediately fight together.

Geng Yi felt that the eighth brother was a humanoid lethal weapon, wherever he tried hard, there would be no peace.

If he stays in the capital to make trouble, it will be a headache, and it is not bad to make other countries mess up.

During the turmoil in the south, the eighth elder brother also passed by. He let An Nanguo be divided into three, and he was completely unable to harass the border. Instead, the three countries fought non-stop, and wanted to be the boss to unify the other two. restored to its former glory.

When he was a little older, the eighth elder brother came back to the capital to start teaching his son.

It's a pity that I heard that his son is a lump of elm, and he can only rely on his grandson to cultivate him early. This is a later story.

Of course, this is what Geng Yi heard from the outside news, what is going on, I know that the eighth elder brother knows it, and maybe the fourth master also understands it in his heart.

With the sticky stick in place, nothing can be hidden from fourth master.

Since Fourth Master kept silent, Geng Yi thought it would be fine.

Even if the eighth elder brother deliberately spoke badly about his son, he wanted fourth master to feel at ease so that his son could live a more ordinary and peaceful life.

Geng Yi looked at the person in the mirror, she has been well maintained for these years, and there are not many traces left on her body for the time being.

Because of the early conditioning of fourth master's body, fourth master is getting older, and his body is not bad.

And he also understands that only when he is in good health can he do more things. The workaholic has restrained a little bit, and he is not so desperate.

It is now the 13th year of Yongzheng, and in August of this year in history, the fourth master would suddenly die of illness.

Geng Yi was a little worried. This year he was especially nervous about Fourth Master, and he had to take a look at him every day to feel at ease.

Fortunately, the red light never appeared, but the closer it was to August, the more restless she was, fearing that she would not be able to defeat history, and her previous efforts would be in vain.

Fourth master was strange, especially in August when Geng Yi became extremely clingy.

When he asked, Geng Yi could only say vaguely: "I had a nightmare recently, I can feel more at ease by the emperor's side."

The fourth master thought she was frightened by the nightmare, put his arms around Geng Yi and laughed and said, "You are such a grown-up, yet you are frightened by the nightmare? With me here, no messy things can get close to you."

Geng Yi nodded again and again: "Yes, I think so too."

Her rare fearful and attached appearance made fourth master very useful, so she stayed with Geng Yi for several nights.

On August 23rd, fourth master had a dream at night.

He dreamed that he was in Qingyan, Kyushu, lying on the bed, only Hongli and Hongzhou were by his side.

Hongli looked at the young man who was already in his 20s, kneeling in front of the couch with reddish eye circles, and the tall Hongzhou was kneeling behind him.

Fourth Master wanted to speak, but found that he had no strength and was explaining the funeral in a weak voice.

The next moment he felt himself floating up, looking at himself on the couch with closed eyes and pale face from a high place, Hongli and Hongzhou cried uncontrollably.

Fourth Master looked around and saw neither Honghui nor Hongshi, nor the queen.

He followed Hongli, and soon watched his son ascend the throne, and heard that Honghui passed away when he was eight years old, the queen also went a few years after he ascended the throne, and Hongshi was also deposed because he was too stupid.

The fourth master frowned watching all this, and then found that after Hongli ascended the throne, he once again squandered the treasury he had finally filled.

Year after year, Hongri's absurdity, the national strength is weakening, and the national treasury begins to be empty, Hongli is very happy.

He saw everything in his eyes, clenched his fists and wanted to beat this son severely: let you squander, let you prodigal!

Fourth Master suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Geng Yi who was still sleeping beside him, his stomach full of anger could not be vented.

Although it was a dream, it made him feel that it was not so real as a dream, as if it was a prophecy given to him by God.

The fourth master sat for a while, got up softly and left, motioned to Nanny Hu not to wake Geng Yi up, put on his outer robe, and led Su Peisheng to the study.

Early in the morning, he called all the younger brothers over.

Honghui was the first to arrive. He had already returned from morning class and was the most diligent child.

Fourth Master looked at the eldest son, as if the dream from last night was still in front of him, he rarely stepped forward and patted Hong Hui on the shoulder, feeling the warmth under his palm.

This child has passed the hurdle of eight years old and has grown up well.

Hong Hui was a little dazed, but soon revealed a look of joy.

Hongshi rubbed his eyes and came over, Hongli also yawned, and Hongzhou was holding a new painting in his hand to give to Fourth Master.

Fourth Master looked at these little elder brothers and compared them with the dream. His hands were itchy, and he really wanted to beat them up one by one.

But being filled with Hong Zhou's paintings, Fourth Master sighed in his heart again: Forget it, it was just a dream, everything is fine now, we have to restrain these little elder brothers!

He believes that if they are not properly restrained, these monkeys can fly to the sky like a dream, and they will all be disasters!

The little elder brothers didn't know that starting from today, they would be in dire straits in the days to come!
