After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Just half a month after the southern tour started, King Yong fell behind.

It was rumored that the cause was that Wu Fang Fujin was seriously ill, so King Yong decided to take her ashore for medical treatment.

Rumors spread in such a way that not only one person looked haggard when seeing the fourth elder brother.

Don't look at Yongjun Wang who is usually reticent and indifferent, but he has clear grievances and grievances in his work.The Wu family is not only a concubine, but also a heroic person who contributed to the cowpox experiment.

Wuce Fujin may not be suitable for sailing, and maybe he will recover from his illness when he is down-to-earth on land.

King Yongjun didn't abandon the Wu family just to keep up with Shengjia, he took his two children ashore together, and set off for Jiangnan later.

This kind of behavior is of course affectionate and righteous, but some people ridiculed the fourth elder brother as stupid.Isn't it just a woman, can it be more important than seeking holy family?

The most important thing about the southern tour is to go with the emperor. It is best to stay within the emperor's field of vision, so as to get various opportunities to be entrusted with important tasks.

Regardless of the rumors and gossip about the southern tour team, in mid-March, a 14-member caravan appeared at the boundary of Hejian Prefecture.

It was Wu Fuyi and his party who were traveling in casual clothes.

With the approval of Kangxi, King Yongjun pretended to be a merchant from Shengjing who went to Jiangnan to find relatives. His surname was Zhen and his name was Si, and the homonym was Zhensi.

The rest, including the six guards equipped by Kangxi, all use pseudonyms.

It made Su Peisheng hide his identity as a eunuch.There is no way a merchant's family can use eunuchs.For the convenience of calling, I will call him Steward Su.

The pseudonym given to others, Wu Fuyi called it quite casually.

He asked Honghui to call Zhen Jun, and Hong Que called Zhen Fen, and then announced to the outside world that Wu Chuanfu had been promoted to the Jia family.

Yinzhen has nothing to say, he has no objection to these titles, anyway, the old ghost always has a way of saying it.Why is it named Jia's? It's not just a fake homonym.

Ever since he witnessed the old ghost smearing his face, his mental impact resistance has greatly improved.

He didn't want to admit that Wu Fuyi's make-up skills were good, and he managed to hide the truth from the world, creating a worried and mentally depressed King Yong.

Instead of thinking about things that make him laugh and cry, it is better to think about things that make him happy.

This time, Hongqin and Honghui performed well.

When the defendant told Wu that Fujin pretended to be ill for a family trip alone, the two brothers did not reveal any flaws, nor did they feel disappointed because they could not follow Kangxi.

Yinzhen noticed the latter, because Hongxi from the Prince's family was also on the southern tour team this time.

Even though he couldn't see Kangxi as the Wu family, the old ghost also mentioned Hongxi and would come to the emperor from time to time, as if the emperor loved his grandson the most.

The prince is proud, and he disdained to play with his brothers when he was young, but he would not be completely contemptuous of his brothers.

Hong Xi's upbringing is very problematic.He was not the first child born in Yuqing Palace, but the elder brother died without a name.

So he became the eldest grandson of Kangxi, and was loved since he was a child because he was the son of the prince.Uncles of the same generation or similar age are dismissive.

Just to give an example, there was a conflict with Fourteen in the study room, not to mention beating the children of the minister's family who came to the palace as companions.

Kangxi did not punish Hongxi severely, but exposed the incident in a whitewashed manner.

Yinzhen was not sure whether Kangxi's actions were because he doted on his eldest grandson more, or another reason that could not be said.

The unprincipled love is to numb most people's cognition, making people think that the prince is still favored, so the emperor loves the house and the black.

When the prince was a teenager, although Kangxi loved him, he was very strict with him.It is paradoxical to the current doting towards Hongxi.

Drowning a grandson is like killing a grandson.

Will Kangxi not understand?Or understand, but have withdrawn the pure affection for the prince and his children.

When Yinzhen got along with Kangxi, he couldn't help but think twice.Regardless of why Hongxi is favored, the most important thing is not to make Honghui and Hongbin feel wronged.

If the two children can enter the palace later to study, then they will be later, and if they can't go the same way as Hongxi, then don't go the same way.Otherwise, once a conflict occurs, even if Kangxi sincerely agrees with the fourth master's child, he doesn't know what kind of bias he will show.

For this, Yinzhen can pretend to be sick bitterly, or watch the old ghost dress up his body at will, it's all worth it.

After hearing Yinzhen's concerns, Wu Fuyi found it difficult for him to consider Kangxi's thoughts so thoroughly.I don't want to say much else, anyway, I can sum it up in one sentence, it's cool to travel alone without the emperor's supervision.

Starting from Hejian Mansion, heading south all the way is like a spring outing.

Not bad money, and a lot of time to walk slowly.

Go to a small restaurant if you are interested in it, and stop when you see an interesting market stall. The name is to teach the children to understand the prices.

As for how to look at the six guards sent by the emperor?

It depends on the state of mind.In a way, it's hard not to.Can you not treat people as eyeliners, but treat people as free bodyguards.

Wu Fuyi is not only in a good mood, but also wants to use the mouth of the six guards to convey to Kangxi the idea that he should send the fourth elder brother out more.

Taking advantage of Yinzhen's concern about the bad atmosphere created by Hongxi in the study room, Yinzhen began to give him a new round of sincere advice.

"You don't want your children to get involved in meaningless fights, but Hong's age is up. Once the emperor asks Hong's to go to the study, he can't refuse. Unless the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Hong's not in the capital."

Yinzhen's heart is like a mirror, and the old ghost started to fool him again.It's only been a month since I came out, and I think it's best to play outside for the next ten years.

"Calm down, this southern tour may not be as peaceful as before. Otherwise, Khan Ama will not finally agree to let us travel alone."

Combined with the news received before, I am afraid that Suo'etu will be cleaned up on this southern tour.

When the fourth elder brother left the southern tour team, Suo'etu himself was still staying in the capital, but his stable life may last for a few more days.

Kangxi can make the fourth elder brother leave the team by finding someone to pretend to be sick, maybe he wants to test Suo'etu with the same trick.He also told Jiangnan to meet in a few months, and there is no need for the fourth elder brother to turn back halfway.

There is a hint here.

If the fourth elder brother heard the rumor of someone who was sick, don't worry, because it is very likely that it was made up.Letting the fourth child leave was a form of protection to keep him from getting involved.

Yinzhen is not sure whether Kangxi will give the fourth brother a second chance to pretend to travel, but when the storm is about to come, the old ghost is always eager to make trouble against the wind.

Wu Fuyi held a different opinion, "Only in muddy water can fish be fished, and it is easy to take advantage of the fire to rob. The opportunity to travel far is won with wisdom."

Yinzhen sneered, "You don't just use wisdom, you also add a bit of gambling. It's like a juggler walking a rope, and when the wind blows, he falls and screams."

According to this, tightrope walking is risky, and she understands it.

Wu Fuyi still listened to it, she was not self-willed in doing things, she was willing to listen to harsh advice.

"Yes, you are right. We grasped the scale and found the right opportunity to express our attitude. It is the kind of "Father, my son admires you very much, and is willing to solve your problems without seeking fame and fortune, so we have to travel far to do practical things." manner. "

Yinzhen believed in the scale that the old ghost said, but he couldn't help wondering if there would be an opportunity to make this scale effective?

Southbound continues.

Instead of walking along the Grand Canal, it entered the border of Shandong.

It is planned to take the children to enjoy the sea breeze, and then go south along the coastline, from the Yellow Sea to the East China Sea and then enter Jinling.

There were no bandits along the way, and the law and order were fairly peaceful.

But observing the lives of ordinary people is far from being well-fed.The tax cuts and exemptions in recent years can only be said to allow people to barely eat and wear.

I want to stay overnight in a small village, but not every place welcomes foreigners.Even if they are willing to pay, most of them are unwilling to rent out the beds.

The reason is simple, the village does not want unexpected events to break the peaceful life.People from outside means uncertain factors, and no one can tell what will happen.

If you can't find an inn, staying in a temple or Taoist temple is a good choice.

April [-] is not a year or a festival.

The convoy headed towards Jiaozhou Bay. At dusk, when the weather changed, a heavy rain might be coming.

In order to avoid walking in the rain, I settled in a deserted and uninhabited temple in the outskirts.

I wanted to find a few rooms where I could barely lie down and sleep, but only the structure of the main hall was still intact.The other rooms either had half the walls collapsed or were crumbling with holes in the roof.

For the sake of safety, the group rested in the main hall together.In different corners, it is good to hang curtains to separate them.The conditions are a little tougher, but this is the real situation that most travelers will encounter.

Wu Fuyi didn't let Hongbin and Honghui idle, and assigned them the task of cleaning up the dust on the ground, and then took the straw mat from the carriage and spread it on the spot, and then piled up a layer of quilt.

Sleeping place, do it yourself.

And this time the children did not bring a servant.More than just getting rid of their clothes to reach out, they let them wash the inner clothes by themselves.

Yinzhen was a little reluctant at first, although he thought that children should not be pampered, but there is no need to do these trivial things.Nai He lived as the Wu family, even if he refuted the old ghost's arrangement, the children would not listen to him.

Wu Fuyi said that it is really not too strict, and cultivates the children's ability to be self-reliant.

Firstly, they were not allowed to wash all the clothes, and secondly, they were given warm water.In the farmhouse, children aged five and seven would help with the work, and poor families would not be willing to wash with hot water.

And what is an insignificant trifle?

Some things are very small, but only when you get started can you really understand what it feels like.

The two brothers didn't get used to it at first, but they did it by themselves along the way and got used to it after persevering.After a while, the bed was quickly made up.

Wu Fuyi was not idle, and inspected the entire deserted temple together with the guards.Don't let go of a corner, make sure there is no one hiding here, and there is no potential safety hazard.

On the other side, Yinzhen went to the kitchen.

The old ghost tricked him before, making him compete with the stove for a while, and he was able to master some cooking skills.

This trip has come in handy.Compared with the children who were also working, he was not a character who opened his mouth for food, and could cook some simple dishes with the ingredients on the carriage.

After everyone was busy with their work, the torrential rain fell.

As soon as the rain fell, the sky darkened.

Going out, do not pay attention to red tape.Sitting in a circle in the main hall of the deserted temple, we are ready to have hot noodles together.

Before eating, there was a knock on the temple door.

The guard went to have a look, and it was an old man and his bookboy who came.

"Master, the visitor is dressed as a literati, and his accent is from Shandong, so he should be from the Zichuan area."

The guard said, "The surname is Pu. It looks like he is 60 years old. I went to Jinan Prefecture to take an exam last month. After the exam, I will walk around. It is raining outside. I hope I can spend the night in the deserted temple."

The surname Pu is not too common.

Combining age and accent, the visitor may be Pu Songling.

Wu Fuyi took a look in person to make sure that the visitor was not a threat, so he naturally agreed to take shelter from the rain together.They also shared two bowls of hot tea to keep them warm.

After drinking warm tea and being in the same hall, the chatterbox naturally opened up.

Wu Fuyi asked first, "I've heard for a long time that there is a Layman Liu Quan in Shandong. Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio is full of all kinds of things in the world. Mr. Xian?"

"Young Master Zhen praised you so much, I am ashamed."

The old man was indeed Pu Songlin, who was 62 years old.Collecting folk stories over the years, I have long developed a talkative temperament.

Although we meet by chance now, who doesn't like to be praised?

Hearing that Young Master Zhen is from Shengjing, the family went to Jiangnan to find relatives.I also observed that although the clothes of the group were not considered wealthy, they were also law-abiding country gentlemen, so they could chat.

While eating, they talked.

Pu Songling mentioned that he went to Jinan again two months ago for the provincial examination.Unfortunately, as in the past few decades, this time it is still no name on the list.

"I'm in my sixtieth year. I won't take the exam anymore, and I won't be able to pass the exam. This is the last time. The exam is finally over. Let's take a walk around while the spring is still here."

Pu Songlin talked about the ending of losing his reputation again, but his tone was very calm and calm, and there was no resentment and loss for a long time.

60 years a reincarnation.There may have been various grievances when I was young, but now I am no longer obsessed with the need to win fame.

Apart from teasing Yinzhen for a while, Wu Fuyi usually doesn't know which pot is left unopened and which pot to pick up.I didn't talk much about the imperial examination, but started talking about Pu Songling's good at writing stories.

The atmosphere of the conversation was good.

Pu Songling chatted and talked about the future. At his age, he failed to pass the exam and become an official. He still hopes to leave some practical things to help the people.

The plan is to write a book on agriculture and compile a set of prescriptions.

The former is named "Nongsang Jing", and the latter is called "Book of Medicine", which are more practical than "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio".

Wu Fuyi listened to Pu Songling's plan and expressed his support, but also said a few truths.

In the future, the common people may only have heard of Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio, but will seldom hear agricultural books and medicinal prescriptions, which will make the latter less interesting.

Pu Songling didn't understand this truth, "Actually, I have written those strange stories, and I have never encountered a real strange thing in my life."

At this moment, the interest of chatting came up.

He smiled and asked: "How about I tell a new story today, which is not written in the book. I don't know how brave the two young masters are, do you dare to listen?"

Neither Honghui nor Hongqin have read "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", but they have also heard the title of this book.

Hearing that the author was willing to tell the story himself, the children's curiosity was aroused, and Qi Qi nodded to express their willingness to listen.

Pu Songling stroked his beard and stood up shaking his head.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a deserted temple on the mountain. One evening in April, the sky suddenly changed, with dark clouds and heavy rain.

A group of people entered the deserted temple to avoid the rain.The team leader checked the corners of the temple and found nothing unusual.Everyone lived and cooked with peace of mind, sat on the ground, and began to eat in the hall. "

Wait a moment.

Hong Hui and Hong Qin came to their senses, why does this story sound familiar?It can't be said to be exactly the same as the current scene, but there is no difference.

Pu Songling continued, "Just as I moved my chopsticks, there was a knock on the door of the temple. An old man came in. The old man called himself a storyteller. After asking for a mouthful of hot soup, he began to tell stories. Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a deserted temple on the mountain. ..."

A story is repeated.

Pu Songling didn't repeat it to the end, "The old man was telling the story, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so loud that he couldn't hear the footsteps outside the house. The sky was getting darker and darker, and it seemed dark outside the window."

The two children pricked up their ears. Now that the rain was crackling, it was true that they could no longer hear footsteps.

Glancing quietly, the sky outside the window was completely dark.There was no fire outside, and nothing could be seen clearly.It's really hard to tell if there is some kind of unknown existence lurking outside.

"Suddenly there was a knock on the door."

Pu Songling's tone suddenly became erratic, "Then a hoarse voice sounded at the door, and he asked: 'Is there anyone inside?'"

At this time, the gate of the deserted temple was really knocked.

"Bang bang bang".

The three knocks on the door were fast and urgent.

Immediately afterwards, through the heavy rain, I heard an unreal male voice shouting outside: "Is there anyone in there? Can I stay overnight!"

Inside the hall, it was as if a gust of wind was blowing.

Pu Songling's next words were stuck in his throat, and his neck turned stiffly towards the door.

Does he really not have auditory hallucinations?It's evil, could it be that I have told too many ghost stories and finally encountered something?
