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

"Ninth brother, here."

Wu Fuyi followed the place where Yinzhen made his voice, and waved his hand to indicate where he was, so as to prevent him from going in the wrong direction and bumping into Yinzhen who was alive in Wu's body.

Yinzhen heard the greeting and looked towards the southwest.

Only then did I realize that my fourth brother was standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.The autumn light is rushing, the sunset is covering the sky, and behind it is a half-hidden pavilion among the trees.

"Fourth brother is very interested. I want to enjoy the scenery here so that my younger brother can find it together."

Yinzhen walked towards the gazebo quickly, and when he got there, his expression became a little unnatural again.

Wu Fuyi had a guess in his heart, "You came to Tanzhe Temple, shouldn't it be a coincidence that you passed by? Did you encounter something in the palace?"

Yinzhen hesitated, because he accidentally tricked the fourth brother again.Saying "again", he also started the horse race last time, and then encountered a pack of wild wolves.

"I returned to the capital the day before yesterday, took a short rest yesterday, and went to the palace today to visit my mother. Do you think this order is correct?"

Wu Fuyi already knew the reason for Yinzhen's visit, "You go to pay your respects to Concubine Yi, it is very unfortunate to meet Concubine De, right?"

The two returned to the capital together, and the ninth elder brother went to say hello to his biological mother, but the fourth elder brother did not go.Assuming that Concubine Yi and Concubine De happened to be in the same room at that time, that kind of scene would inevitably be embarrassing if there was a contrast.

Yinzhen was told about his situation this afternoon, he really didn't intend to make a comparison.

He thinks that the fourth brother has always followed the rules, as usual, he should soon enter the palace to pay his respects to Concubine De, who would have thought that this time would be different.

"It was because I didn't think carefully. As soon as I left the palace, I went straight to the fourth brother's house. I heard from Su Peisheng that the fourth brother first came to Tanzhe Temple to worship the Buddha, in order to get rid of illness and bad luck, so that he could avoid disturbing the elders in the palace when he entered the palace. "

Yinzhen realized later that the fourth brother was even more thoughtful in his daily worship of Buddha, and he would indeed come to the temple first.But he didn't think in advance that Concubine De might have some complaints about the fourth brother.

"You don't need to blame yourself, Er Niang won't care. I will explain myself when I enter the palace tomorrow."

Wu Fuyi didn't blame Yinzhen, after all, the two never made an appointment to enter the palace together in advance, and it was their own decision that they had to come to Tanzhe Temple first.

Yinzhen saw that the fourth brother really didn't complain at all, but he blamed himself more and more.I want to treat my fourth brother better, but I have been unable to express my brotherhood for a long time, which is actually a disservice.

Before, the plan to make Baifu the most handsome dog in the Qing Dynasty was aborted.The fourth brother declined his designs for reasons that were irrefutable.

Momofu is a dog, not suitable for jewelry.

It has nothing to do with violating the imperial system, but because of the dog's nature. If the dog accidentally bites off the gemstone on the small cloak and swallows it, it will become a disguised suicide by swallowing gold.

The previous life-saving grace failed to thank success, and this end created a mother-child rift.

Yinzhen feels that he is not repaying a favor but seems to be taking revenge.

This will dare to come to Tanzhe Temple to explain the situation non-stop, but I don't want to wait for a new round of conflicts tomorrow.It's a pity that the friendship that has passed my life is gone.

"Fourth brother, you didn't let me successfully spend money for Baifu, my brother feels bad about it."

Yinzhen sincerely wants to give the money away, only the fourth brother can feel at ease if he accepts his compensation and thanks. "Tell me the truth, where can I let my brother help me?"

Wu Fuyi also noticed that it is said that businessmen value profit, but Yinzhen really has a bit of loyalty.

"Ninth brother, I understand your brotherhood. Because of this, you are affectionate and righteous, and I can't catch you. You have also married and divided the family. You have to think more about your daughter and sweat for your money. Ama and Concubine Yi think more about it."

Yinzhen nodded again and again, accepting it humbly, but did not change her original intention.

"Fourth brother, I understand all these principles. Don't worry, I have a lot of people who should be filial. Now let's talk about the things between us. You have to show my brother a clear way."

Wu Fuyi asked, "Do you have to give a gift? Will you be happy if you give it?"

"Correct!"

Yinzhen answered firmly.

"Okay, then send a batch of good-looking female oysters."

Wu Fuyi proposed what he needed, "It's the triangular mussels in Dongting Lake and the waters of the south of the Yangtze River. Do you have a way to transport some to the capital? They need to live."

Yinzhen was at a loss, it was the first time he heard that he wanted mussels as gifts.Although triangular clams produce pearls, it is all by luck.If you want pearls, it is useless to buy mussels.

Can it be used for special dishes? "Fourth brother, do you want to eat mussel meat? It shouldn't be very delicious, right?"

"The land of Buddhism, regardless of meat."

Wu Fuyi didn't say what exactly he wanted to do, but only asked Yinzhen if he could sell it. "Since you know about merchants, is the triangular sail clam easy to deal with?"

Yinzhen knew one or two people who were in the aquatic products business, but most of the sales were various fish and shrimp on the table.

"At present, there are no merchants that specifically sell mussels, but if you really want them, you can directly ask the local fishermen to buy them as soon as possible. My brother will be able to get them by October at the latest."

Although he was puzzled about the usefulness of the clam, but looking at the serious face of his fourth brother, he didn't dare to ask everything like he did to the starling.

If you want to play with mussels, let's play with mussels, who doesn't have a weird hobby, there are not a bunch of cricket and quail fighting in the capital.Just using mussels as a gift of thanks, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit embarrassing.

Yinzhen emphasized, "Fourth brother, don't save money for my younger brother. How much is a mussel worth? What else do you want? How about getting Costin?"

Raising eagles?

Wu Fuyi didn't have the slightest interest, how could he have such leisure now.With a thick stack of materials from Yinzhen in his arms, he was going to read and use them, and besides, making triangle clams was not for fun.

Seriously told Yinzhen, "Everything will last forever. In the future, if I need help from the ninth brother, I will naturally mention it. Now you really don't have to spend any more money. If you have spare capacity, get some corn from the south. The more different kinds of corn you have The better."

"Ok."

Yinzhen thought that the corn on the cob was rare, and I heard that it was grown in the south, but the taste didn't seem to be very good.Fourth brother, is this on the fence with weird food?

Regardless of Yinzhen's guess, Wu Fuyi left the pavilion first.

Deliberately detoured a long way, and the name is to take Yinzhen to appreciate the ancient temple and mountain scenery under the sunset.In order to avoid encountering Yinzhen who was in Wu's body halfway, he wandered for more than half a month before returning to the guest house in Tanzhe Temple.

Afterwards, I didn’t follow the daily meal time, so I asked the monks in Xiangji Kitchen to cook a few more vegetarian dishes, so that I could eat more.

Only when you are full can you have the strength to study the materials.

After dark, light a candle.

Opening the envelope, I saw that Yinzhen had written a stack of small letters.

These messages can be divided into two parts: the front court and the harem.Considering that the soul that has passed into one's body may not have the memory of the fourth elder brother, the first step is to distinguish who is who.

It is impractical to give so many portraits in a short period of time, and try to use words to describe the people that the fourth elder brother must know.

A wave of former court officials will encounter each day during the court.

Unless extreme weather or special events happened, Kangxi would hold an imperial court hearing basically every day in the capital, that is, he would start an open-air court meeting outside the Qianqing Gate.

The ministers arrived earlier than the emperor, and usually wore ordinary clothes and court beads to go to the court, and they had to wear patch coats on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar new year, and on the fifth and tenth days of the lunar new year.

In the days of wearing mending gowns, it is easier to determine the rank and identity of officials from the patterns of mending gowns.

Regular clothes are mostly plain, so you have to judge who is coming based on height, fat and thin, shoe size, facial features, accent, etc.

Then I saw a fifty-page description of the character's characteristics.

Yinzhen marked the serial number, and the first batch of officials and clans that must be known consisted of 120 six persons.In addition, there are 38 guards and eunuchs in the palace.

Relatively speaking, the people in the harem are not that troublesome.

As a prince, it is enough not to offend Kangxi's harem women, especially the concubines who gave birth to the emperor's heir.That number is much less than that of officials.

The fourth elder brother basically went to Yonghe Palace to visit the concubine De, or to Ningshou Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Concubines live in different palaces, and generally they will not meet halfway.Yinzhen also stated which route is safer, as well as the precautions for please Ann, etc.

Wu Fuyi repeatedly recited the characteristics of the characters on the list, trying to make sure that when he meets a person, he can immediately correspond to the other person's name and identity.

Fortunately, she does not have face blindness, and at this time she misses the camera very much.No matter how detailed Yinzhen's writing is, the written description is still not accurate enough compared to the photos.

Technology has changed life.

Sighed, and continued to invest in the materials.After getting to know a bunch of people, it is necessary to figure out the relationship between the characters.

Those things are too complicated, and Yinzhen himself dare not say that he knows them in detail.

The time to write is limited, so I selected the relevant officials who are currently serving in the Ministry of Criminal Justice with the fourth elder brother to talk about it, focusing on a group of people who need to pay attention to the important officials in the court and the royal family.

In addition, several families that may be valued in this draft are also mentioned.

"Believe it, remember it and burn it. If there is something difficult to resolve, the Qiu family will try to meet you."

At the end, Yinzhen can only leave this sentence.

He couldn't pass on all the experience he had lived for more than 20 years through a stack of letter paper.If you really encounter urgent and difficult problems, you can only take the risk of meeting privately in the other courtyard where the Wu family temporarily lives.

As for how to meet?

Wu Fuyi understood, it was up to her to find a way by herself.

There is no need to take such a risk unless the sky falls apart.Even if she can't think of a solution to the sudden problem, at least she knows a unique trick - procrastination.

Dragging, dragging, there is always a way to meet without risk.

Some things can be delayed, and some things can't.

The next day, dawn.

Returning to the Forbidden City, I must go to pay my respects to Concubine De today.

I avoided the meal time and arrived at the Yonghe Palace at [-]:[-] pm.

Today, the main hall of Yonghe Palace is a bit lively, because the fourteenth elder brother Yinzhen is also here.

Yinzhen was talking about how well he finished his homework in the study today.He was praised by Khan Ama just now, and he was allowed to take a short break to talk with his concubine mother.

"My son pays his respects to Er Niang."

When Wu Fuyi entered the hall, it was the moment when the mother and son were happy.

"Sit down."

When Concubine De saw her eldest son, she didn't deliberately suppress the smile on her face, but it was not as relaxed as before. "How's the wound on your leg?"

"Trouble my mother, my son's injury is no longer a problem."

Wu Fuyi said quite well, "The imperial physician has done his duty and made his son recover from his injuries on the way back to Beijing. The next step is to nourish his vitality."

Before Concubine De could speak, Yinzhen spoke first.

"Fourth brother, since you are almost well, why didn't you enter the palace yesterday? Yesterday, ninth brother went to see Empress Yifei. I thought you would come to see Empress too, so I was waiting for nothing."

These words sound careless.

The 12-year-old prince can speak out and explain quickly, but who is waiting for nothing?

Concubine De couldn't wait for her eldest son to visit, but Concubine Yi waited for Yinzhen.Let me mention it again now, can she feel better?

Wu Fuyi didn't care whether Yinzhen spoke quickly or hid needles in the cotton, so he said unhurriedly:

"I went to Tanzhe Temple yesterday, and I hope that the Buddha's light will wash away all illnesses. First, I invited Buddhist incense for Erniang, and I also invited a few pots of beautiful autumn chrysanthemums from the temple when the Double Ninth Festival is approaching. Erniang can also enjoy flowers when she is free. .”

Concubine De understood, the eldest son didn't want to bring a trace of sickness into the palace.This person is cautious and meticulous in his work, and he brought chrysanthemums from the ancient temple, just in time for the Double Ninth Festival to appreciate chrysanthemums.

"You are injured just right, so don't worry about these things. You won't be able to enjoy flowers in one year. Tanzhe Temple is on the mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. You have injured your leg. Be careful not to get tired again."

"Thank you, Er Niang, for taking care of me, my son will remember it."

Wu Fuyi stopped here without saying anything, and turned to look sideways at Yinzhen.

"Yesterday my fourteenth brother waited in vain. Is it because I am an elder brother? In the future, you will send a message to the mansion in advance. When I returned to the capital from the Mulan paddock, I didn't wait for a word from you. I ignored you for a while and thought about my brother." Mood."

Who is ignoring whom?

Three days ago, I returned to the capital.

Wu Fuyi asked who came to Si Ye's mansion to give gifts and greetings.

The wild wolf raid in Mulan Paddock took place in early August, and it was enough to spread the word in the capital in a month, not to mention that someone deliberately fueled the flames, saying that Si Baylor killed the wolf heroically.

In this way, the officials and the clan will more or less go to Si Ye's mansion for inspection.Whether to accept presents or not is the fourth master's business, but whether to greet or not is the attitude of those who hear the news.

According to the records of Sifu Jin, the elder brothers who stayed in the capital, from the crown prince to the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, all sent people to convey their greetings and blessings to Yinzhen.

But no brother Yinzhen, the fourteenth elder brother.If you want to go further, the fifteenth elder brother Yinyu is only seven years old, the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu is five years old, and the seventeenth elder brother Yinli is only three years younger. normal.

Yinzhen is exactly 12 years old this year.

Judging by the age of future generations, he is still underage, but this is the Qing Dynasty, and he will choose Fujin this year.

On the way back to Beijing, Wu Fuyi asked Kangxi for instructions, and sent a letter to Yongfu Palace to report his safety.

Right now, while Yinzhen didn't hear a single word, he actually pointed out that this younger brother didn't understand brothers and friends at all.Since Yinzhen dared to do it, why save face for him.

Yinzhen's face froze, he really didn't expect the fourth brother to mention this.In the past, the fourth brother didn't bother to answer what he said, and mostly kept silent.

Concubine De's fingers holding the handkerchief also froze.

It was she who had neglected it. She had already sent someone to deliver food and medicinal materials to the elder son's residence, but she really forgot to ask if the younger son had visited his elder brother.

At this moment, the voice of the great eunuch Liang Jiugong came from outside the door, "The emperor is here—"
