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

Yinhu heard the bad move given by his brother, but he still didn't intend to make it difficult for Yinhu.

Although deep in my heart, I really want to know which answer the starling will give, but this kind of question of falling into the water is not appropriate.

If you ask questions like this, maybe the focus will be skewed to the absurd multiple-choice questions, and it will deviate from Guo Luoluo's generosity that needs to be taken seriously.

Yinzhen didn't want to be fooled.He is not stupid, he has been with Yinhu for many years, and he understands how Yinhu indulges Guo Luoluo better than his own brother.Because of this, this time, the question must be straight-forward, without giving Yinhu any room to go around in circles.

This time there are two demands:

Tell Guo Luoluo not to get involved with their brothers from now on.In addition, she had to give Yi Fei an explanation for the mistake of ordering the maidservant Chun Equinox without authorization.

Which explanation is satisfactory?

Yinzhen is not sure.

The whole story of this matter has already been told to Er Niang, but so far she has not heard Er Niang give a clear statement, only let him figure it out first.

The waiting process is always long.

Especially when Shengjia returned to Beijing, Kangxi didn't say to leave, and the rest of the people couldn't leave either, and Yinhu and Guo Luoluo couldn't come back either.

Yinzhen got a little impatient waiting, so she went to the fourth brother to relax.

In late August, Wu Fuyi was reading the textbooks written by Yinzhen, and then received the news that Yinzhen was visiting as a guest.

The man said he wandered so far, and after having lunch, he asked for a fishing rod and bait to go fishing by the river.Two hours later, the sky was getting dusk, but there was no harvest.

"You said you wanted to catch two fish for dinner. Where are the fish?"

Wu Fuyi looked at Yinzhen who came uninvited.The wooden barrel he put on the shore was empty, not to mention seeing a fish, not even a loach.

Yinzhen raised the fishing rod sadly.He was also puzzled, the bait was still on the hook, why didn't the fish bite the bait today?

Is it because of his dishonesty?Sitting by the river, he didn't think about Fat Fish, but about Yin Qi's choice of falling into the water.

"Cough-cough-"

Yinzhen cleared his throat deliberately, since the problem of falling into the water has been lingering in his mind for a long time, why not ask fourth brother as a joke now?

Don't ask myna, because what Guo Luoluo did should be taken seriously, instead of using ridiculous multiple-choice questions to test.

Now that I dare to ask fourth brother, I feel that the two of them are so close that they dare to joke.

Yinzhen put away the fishing rod and stood up, and stepped forward with a smile to get closer.

He tried to create a good atmosphere between the two brothers, but he saw the expression of the fourth brother "watching your performance quietly".

Smiling embarrassingly, he bit the bullet and threw out the question.

"Fourth brother, I didn't catch any fish. It may be because I have something on my mind and I couldn't concentrate. I have a question to ask you."

Wu Fuyi looked at Yinzhen's expression, and immediately concluded that the so-called asking for advice was not a serious matter, but he still raised his chin, signaling him to speak up if he had something to say.

"Recently, I listened to a multiple-choice question."

Yinzhen didn't dare to compare with Sifu Jin, but cleverly changed the title.

"Suppose my fourteenth brother and I can't swim, and we fall into the river at the same time, and you can save one, who will you save first?"

Why is this question so familiar?

Wu Fuyi heard that the classics of later generations fell into the water and chose one of the two. Isn't this one of the writing inspirations provided to Fourteen last year?

When popularizing the knowledge of vaccinia, Yinzhen anonymously wrote promotional essays that were not repeated.

Later, he didn't admit it, but he really fell in love with the fun of writing story books.

Concealing his true identity, he used several pseudonyms to submit manuscripts everywhere, but they all hit a wall at the beginning. The bookseller felt that his stories were not readable enough.

Then, Yinzhen went to Si Ye's Mansion for consultation starting with "I have a friend who wants to write a storybook".

It is said that he remembered the writing instructions that the fourth brother gave him during the promotion of vaccinia, so he thought that he could get useful help from the fourth brother.

Wu Fuyi said a few words casually. The cowpox promotion written by Shisi was required to be revised many times. The biggest problem was that he didn't understand the audience.

The promotional content for ordinary people cannot be word-for-word.There are a lot of illiterate people in the capital, so it should be expressed in the way they are most familiar with.

What kind of script does Yinzhen's "friend" who wrote the book want to write this time?

When you start to enter the industry, don't take too many steps, as it is easy to scratch your head.It is not easy to be appreciated by literati and inkmen, but also sought after by traffickers and pawns.

It's better to specialize in one.

Wu Fuyi casually mentioned a few materials, such as the story of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law falling into the water to ask questions, or the children of two feuds falling in love and killing each other.

She assured that she really did not instigate Fourteen to write these contents.It turned out that Yinzhen was retreated with these bloody plots, so that he could learn from himself for all major and minor matters.

What's the matter now?

I have never paid attention to the trend of the story book market. Are there really such stories that are popular?

Where did Lao Jiu get the inspiration from? He made a special trip today to ask this question after four hours of fishing without any results?

Although there is some confusion about the antecedents, it does not prevent "well" answering Yinzhen's questions.

She first asked kindly, "Ninth Brother, you really want to know, who will I save first after you and Fourteen fall into the water?"

Yinzhen faintly sensed something was wrong, but her thinking mind was half a beat slower than her nodding.

He just nodded, and then his eyes widened.

Seeing that the fourth brother quickly changed his face, he stretched out his hand towards him with a sneer, and then gave him a light push.

not good!

It was only then that Yinzhen remembered that he hadn't chosen a good place when he asked the question.The two were standing by the river, and he had no time to regain his footing.

'Wow--'

The river immediately splashed big water.

Yinzhen fell down as soon as he pushed, and fell into the river on his back.

Immediately he jumped up and controlled his body in twos and twos, but he didn't dare to go directly to the shore because he looked up and saw the fourth brother's expression that seemed to be a half-smile.

Wu Fuyi sneered directly, "What's your question? Assuming you and Shisi can't swim, right? You haven't been floating in the sea long enough! How dare you imagine that you can't swim. You can't swim Just practice it for me and wait for others to save me, do you think your life will be long!"

Yinzhen was caught off guard and pushed into the water, but after recovering, she was not too surprised.

As expected of the fourth brother, he dares to vent his anger when he gets angry, and he is not spoiled by his younger brother at all.

Just like back then, chasing him to cut his braids was just to avenge the dog's tail hair cut.

Assuming that the fourth brother treats him tenderly and answers that he will choose to save him first, it makes people wonder if it is making people happy.

Wu Fuyi was definitely not used to Yinzhen, and even threw the empty wooden bucket into the river with his backhand.

"Since you have the heart to think about tricky and hypocritical questions, it means that you are full of energy and not tired. You catch fish, catch a bucket full and then go ashore, or your dinner will only be corn bread."

"A bucket?"

Yinzhen scooped up the wooden barrel, "It's at least a dozen or so, and you can't eat a meal. Fourth brother, you pay attention to health preservation, and you pay attention to eating seventy percent full, so it's better to grab less."

Wu Fuyi didn't accept bargaining, "There are so many people in the Zhuangzi, are you afraid that you won't be able to eat them? You just catch them, and if there are more, give them to Su Peisheng. It's a gift from Master Jiu to reward them."

Yinzhen quickly silenced, not daring to argue any more.

On Zhuangzi, there are hundreds of servants and guards in total.It's fine to give it to Su Peisheng, he doesn't want to be so aggrieved that he catches fish with his own hands and rewards the guards at the gate.

Last month, he was regarded as a thief, and the scene of being chased and intercepted by the guards is still vivid in his memory.You can't be taken advantage of, and in turn thank the guards for admitting the wrong person and almost beating him up.

In the river, Yinzhen fished obediently.

His movements are proficient, and he has practiced in the sea for half a year last year.

That's why Wu Fuyi said that it was pretentious for Yinzhen to ask a question assuming he didn't know how to water, but he also pondered the reason for this question.

Today Yinzhen said that he came here to relax, looking at his appearance, he really has something on his mind.

It is not difficult to guess who the multiple-choice questions of falling into the water were originally prepared for. It should be to let Yinhu choose between Laojiu and Guo Luoluoshi.

Not long after, Yinzhen caught a bucket full of fish and went ashore.

Wu Fuyi took the fish bucket and asked Lao Jiu to wash and change in the guest room.

"The wind is getting cold after sunset in early autumn. Don't dawdle, go and change your wet clothes."

Yinzhen nodded, and stepped up the speed.

Wu Fuyi walked towards the yard together, seemingly chatting, and said a few words in a casual tone.

"Ninth brother, even though your question just now was very annoying, I still thought about it. Although I can't give you the answer you want, I can still say which answer is the most deceptive."

Yinzhen pricked up his ears, "What?"

"Of course I will choose to save you first. Good brother, of course I will give you a chance to live."

Wu Fuyi cooperated with his rhetoric, and even put on a gentle look in his eyes.

"If it's too late to rescue Fourteen and unfortunately causes him to drown, I will pay for his life. If you can't live together, you can die together. With you living well for me, this is death without regret."

At dusk, the autumn wind blows.

Yinzhen felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard this answer, and immediately waved his hands.

"Stop! Fourth brother, don't say it. Why do I think it's hypocritical and disgusting? It's better to just push me into the water to refresh my mind."

Wu Fuyi gave Yinzhen a sideways glance, "It's good that you know, otherwise this answer is the most deceiving."

There was a fuss, and then it stopped.

After eating the whole fish feast, Yinzhen rode back to the city.Instead of returning empty-handed, a few books were stuffed in, which were translations of books bought from Japan.

Last year, I went to sea for inspection and brought back a boatload of books.

After listening to the arrangements made by the fourth brother, Yinzhen first looked for a reliable translator, and completed part of the translation in the past half a year.

The books that were stuffed this time are mainly related to the people's livelihood in Japan in two time periods.

After the Tokugawa shogunate came to power, they implemented a unified good currency policy throughout the island during the Keicho period, and minted bad coins again during the Genroku period.

Nowadays, the books that can be bought in the Japanese market do not directly analyze the economic and people's livelihood data, and it is necessary to extract the specific situation between the lines.Such as travel notes, local chronicles, poems, prose, etc., can be read to form a concise and clear form.

Then, compare.What disparity will be caused between the good money policy of unified coin minting and the casting of bad money that lacks silver and copper in indulgent localities?

Yinzhen accepted the task given by the fourth brother, read these books, and earnestly conducted an in-depth study of Japanese currency.Not to mention that the tiny place has no meaning for exploration, the number of gold, silver and copper mines currently known in Japan exceeds that of the Qing Dynasty.

The monetary policy of the Qing Dynasty was chaotic, whether it was copper coins or silver ingots, they were scattered and minted in various places.

Although the imperial court promulgated the general specifications of minting coins, it is difficult to implement a single official document.Moreover, the rules drawn up by the imperial court are far from the real unified currency.

Yinzhen has business operations in many places, and the money received for the goods varies.

He was aware of the differences in local silver coinage, but he didn't pay much attention to the disadvantages of not being able to truly unify the currency.

This time, Japan is going to be used as a reference.

Compared with the vast Qing Dynasty, the island country is small in size, and it is easier for the shogunate to realize the use of uniformly minted coins throughout the country.

It was done during the Qingchang period, but it was abandoned during the Yuanlu period due to official corruption, making Dongying just a good research material.

Last year at sea, Yinzhen heard the fourth brother talk about this research.

In September this year, the Royal Academy of Sciences officially opened.He happened to be doing currency research while studying mathematics and physics knowledge more systematically.

Don't look like you don't have any errands, but this is temporary.

After Yinzhen was granted the title of Beizi, he went to the palace to thank him. After being asked by Kangxi, what was his plan.At that meeting, a plan for Japanese research was proposed, which was approved and affirmed.

According to Kangxi, I hope to regulate the coin market.If he can do decent research, he might as well take the lead in the unified coinage in the future.

Although Khan Ama only gave verbal encouragement, there is no joke, and at least there is hope.

Yinzhen voluntarily asked not to go outside the Great Wall to escape the summer heat, but to stay in the capital to study, just to prepare for this research.

In the hot summer, he studied Japanese so that he could read the original books directly when necessary.He is also looking forward to the course of the Faculty of Science in September, and the teaching materials are from "Wusanshanren".

Others didn't know about it, but he could roughly guess that it was compiled by Brother Si. How would it be different from previous mathematics books?

At the beginning of September, Shengjia returned to Beijing, and the summer vacation team came back with him.

However, Guo Luoluo didn't feel relaxed and comfortable about going back home, instead he became irritable.

Just now, when she and Yinhu entered the palace to greet Concubine Liang, something happened.

The two went to say hello to Concubine Yi as usual, but they couldn't see each other, saying that Concubine Yi was absent due to illness.

It sounds normal to see people when you are sick, but it is abnormal in combination with the things in recent months.

Two and a half months ago, I left the capital.

At that time, Guo Luoluo's spring breeze was proud.Because He Zhuo was released quickly after being proved innocent, it was her credit.She asked Yinhu for credit and explained the situation.

Yinhu praised her for her dexterity, but when she arrived at the Mulan paddock, she heard about the selection arrangement made by the emperor this year.

Concubine Yi was unexpectedly asked to be laid off, and she couldn't get an errand.The reason is to take care of Concubine Yi's body, so that people can feel at ease and recuperate.

Guo Luoluo felt uneasy.

It is true that Concubine Yi is ill, but the emperor used this reason to keep people from doing things, is it because he is really worried about Concubine Yi's health?Or was it the maid who vented her anger on Concubine Yi's natal family, did Chun Equinox inform He Zhuo's family?

Yinhu also learned about the arrangement of the person in charge of this draft, and the two decided to stand still and observe Kangxi's attitude in the Mulan paddock.

If Concubine Yi was really beaten secretly, it might not be because of He Zhuo's case, it might also be because something went wrong in the harem.

If it was because of He Zhuo, Yinhu felt that he would bear the brunt of being targeted by Kangxi.

As for the affairs of the harem, as the prince, he cannot interfere with Khan Ama's likes and dislikes.

In the following month and a half, Kangxi was always in a good mood.I took my sons to meet the Mongolian prince, and the bonfire party was held.

Yinhu observed carefully to make sure that he was not targeted by Kangxi.

Not only was he not punished, but he was also assigned an important task to accompany the Mongolian prince with his elder brother.

All kinds of circumstances made Yinhu think that Concubine Yi's punishment did not stem from the He Zhuo case.

He thought about it, but didn't write a letter to Yinzhen.

Although Guo Luoluo borrowed Yifei's mother's family without prior notice, but because of his close relationship with Yinzhen, they have always been inseparable from each other in the past, and borrowing people is also a common thing.

Since Yinzhen didn't send a letter in a hurry, it also shows that Concubine Yi offended Kangxi because of her personal affairs, and this is not something that a junior can intervene.

Yinhu also has to pay attention, even if she has a good relationship with Lao Jiu, Concubine Yi is not her own mother after all.His mother-in-law Liang concubine lived well, but he was raised in Concubine Hui's palace since he was a child.

The mother who gave birth to En, raised En, and a good brother, because of the complicated relationship, it is really inappropriate for him to be involved in the fighting between concubines and concubines.

Yinhu and Guo Luoluo had left the matter of Concubine Yi's unemployment behind, until they returned to Beijing to go to the harem to pay their respects, but they were rejected.

Even the maids of Yikun Palace were still very kind and did not express any dissatisfaction with them.

It seems that Concubine Yi is really sick and resting, she politely refuses the greetings from Master Ba and Ba Fujin, but it always makes people feel that something is not right.

On the carriage, the atmosphere was a bit oppressive.

Guo Luoluo couldn't tell whether Concubine Yi was dissatisfied, but she couldn't help resenting Concubine Liang.

Being rejected by Concubine Yi in Yikun Palace, what is the real reason for this kind of thing? Concubine Liang can't provide any help to her own son and daughter-in-law in the palace.

"Don't worry too much. Concubine Yi may be ill. I will go to Lao Jiu to inquire about the situation later."

Yinhu patted the back of Guo Luoluo's hand.

"Don't worry, I won't blame you. You ordered someone to summon Suzhou to report to He's family. After all, it was to help me."

When Guo Luoluo heard this, his mood brightened. "As long as you understand me, that's enough, but if Brother Jiu is angry, what should we do?"

Yinhu also has arrangements, "It has already happened, we can't comfort Concubine Yi, but I will make up for the ninth brother. I have already found him a serious job in the Ministry of Rites, so that he won't be allowed to have the title of beizi but have nothing to do. This matter I suggested it to Khan Ama in the Mulan paddock, see what Khan Ama means, and I will arrange it after returning to Beijing."

"That's good."

Guo Luoluo felt a little relieved.

Lao Jiu has never had any serious errands, so it is not bad to be recommended by Yinhu to join the Ministry of Rites this time.Afterwards, she will send some gifts to Concubine Yi, which should make up for this mistake.

While talking, Lian County Prince's Mansion arrived.

When the two got out of the car, they heard from the butler that Yinzhen had come two incense sticks ago and was waiting in the flower hall.

Yinhu and Guo Luoluo couldn't help but look at each other, Yinhu came in a hurry, afraid that something might be wrong.

"Fu Jin, you go back to your room first, I'll go to the flower hall to talk with Jiudi."

Yinhu didn't want Fujin to have a confrontation with his ninth brother, so he watched Guo Luoluo leave first.

At this end, Yinhu arranged well, but when they got to the flower hall, he couldn't help but talk to Xini.

"Myna, you're back. Why don't you see my sister-in-law?"

Yinzhen got straight to the point, "My younger brother came to ask her about something today, I wonder if it's convenient for her now?"

When Yinhu heard this, he immediately deduced that Yinhu was here to inquire about the crime.

Even though he judged that Concubine Yi's unemployment was due to a mistake in palace affairs, the ninth brother obviously didn't think so.

"He Yuzhu, go and invite Fujin to come."

Yinhu made a decisive decision and asked the head of Baye's Mansion to call Guo Luoluo.

Turning around, I immediately apologized to Yinzhen, "Ninth Brother, if you don't come, I'm going to look for you too. Just came back from the palace, Empress Yifei felt unwell, so I couldn't greet her face to face.

I worry about whether this matter is related to He Zhuo's case.Earlier, your eighth sister-in-law sent Yifei Empress to report to the staff in Suzhou. I am afraid that this matter has aroused Khan Ama's displeasure. This time, Yifei Empress was unfortunately implicated. "

When Yinzhen heard it, the starling could speak clearly now.

It has been a full three months since the incident happened, why didn't they say hello before?

How can Yinhu not know what Yinhu is thinking when he sees this.

Immediately explained, all the emotions of Mulan's observation of Kangxi in the paddock were explained, and it was determined that Yifei's failure to manage the draft had nothing to do with the He Zhuo case.

"In the past, you and my brothers have always used each other's hands. I thought of writing to you to explain it, but it made me different."

Yinhu showed bitterness on his face, "At that time, it was judged that the concubine Yi's unemployment had nothing to do with He Zhuo, and you also know my situation, so it is not appropriate to meddle in the friction between the ladies in the palace. Ninth brother, if you want to blame me, I am not doing things properly. .”

After hearing this analysis, Yinzhen's anger subsided a little.

Part of what Starling said was true. For example, the two used each other's hands before, and the difference was never clearly calculated.Therefore, he has to bear half of the responsibility for Yifei being implicated in the Suzhou incident this time.

"Brother, you are you; sister-in-law eight is sister-in-law eight."

Yinhu did not forget her original intention today, even after hearing Yinhu's honest explanation, she did not soften her heart enough to forget to express her position.

"My sister-in-law's punishment was caused by my eighth sister-in-law's own initiative. Even if I tell me afterwards, I can wipe out the traces in time, instead of being so passive."

Yinzhen said it plainly, "I don't want to take it on behalf of others without knowing it. From today on, my staff won't let Eighth Sister-in-law use half of a finger. Whoever she orders, I will sell that person. If she If you like it, you can buy them all.”

After the words fell, Guo Luoluo pushed the door open and entered.

Hearing Yinzhen's last words clearly, how can he not hear that Lao Jiu is very dissatisfied with her.

She has always been soft rather than tough, let alone being humiliated on the spot.Even if it was a mistake in the first place, he became resentful.

"Ninth brother, what do you mean?!"

Guo Luoluo asked directly, "I was worried about Yifei, and I was talking to Ba Ye about how to apologize. Ba Ye was only thinking of finding a serious job for you, and recommended you to the Ministry of Rites in front of Khan Ama. Your attitude But so indifferent."

Yinzhen heard the starling's recommendation for the errand of the Ministry of Rites, but she was not at all happy.

As early as last year, the Suo'etu case broke out in Jiangning's Cao's family. The starling recommended him to investigate Suo'etu. He said that no matter what errand he recommended himself, he must discuss it in advance.

What Yinhu thinks is good is not necessarily what others like.

For example, this errand in the Ministry of Rites, even if it is a serious errand among the six departments.

Yinzhen is not interested in this at all. What is his own temperament that is not compatible with the word "li"?

Looking at Guo Luoluo's expression again, his vividness shows a meaning.The starling arranged an errand for him, so he should be grateful and write off the mistakes Guo Luoluo made before.

At this moment, I shouldn't and don't want to ask that ridiculous question about falling into the water.

Yinzhen got emotional and opened her mouth.

"Brother, my eighth sister-in-law is also here, so I have a question for you. If neither my eighth sister-in-law nor I know how to swim, but we fall into the river at the same time, and you can only save one, who will you save? Choose one of the two." , you must give a clear answer."

This question was too outrageous, causing a moment of silence in the room.

But Yinhu knew that Yinhu was really angry, and he had to give a satisfactory answer to Jiudi.On the other end, Guo Luoluo looked at him without blinking, waiting for his choice.

He smiled bitterly again, "Ninth brother, you are embarrassing me. But if there is such a day, I will save you first. But you are on the shore, don't stop me from jumping into the river to accompany Fujin.

Between brothers, if you can live well, being a brother is enough.I made an agreement with Fujin to grow old forever, and even if we don't see gray hair, we are willing to live together and die together. "

When Guo Luoluo heard that Yinhu had chosen to save Lao Jiu first, his heart turned cold.

But when I heard the end, I only sighed what my husband could ask for.Yinhu is willing to die with her, which is also affectionate enough.

Yinzhen had goosebumps reflexively.Not moved, but a little nauseated.

Not the first time I hear this answer.

Just five days ago, the fourth brother deliberately disgusted him with this answer. At that time, he said that whoever used this answer as an answer must be fooling others.

At this moment and here, Yinzhen didn't know how her acting skills changed so suddenly that she could completely cover up the deep dissatisfaction and disappointment in her heart, expressing her moving emotions very naturally.

"Brother, my brother is wrong, I shouldn't make it difficult for you. These are some stupid questions, you just pretend you haven't heard of them."

Yinzhen: Maybe, he is close to Zhu Zhechi?
