History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

On this day, Fourth Master came to greet Concubine De as usual.

Just entering the main hall of Yonghe Palace, I heard the voice of the fourteenth elder brother complaining in grief and indignation in the main hall, "Emiang, Brother Ninth is really going too far. He directly robbed his son's wooden dog with several cousins ​​from Prince Gong's mansion. In the end, it fell to the ground for some reason, and now the little wooden dog can’t bark anymore.”

Fourth Master's footsteps paused, and he continued to walk in.

What came to his ears was Concubine De's coaxing voice, "Okay, okay, if it's broken, it's broken, and I'll ask your fourth brother for another one later."

At this time, Concubine De heard footsteps, turned around and saw Fourth Master, and hurriedly said to him, "Fourth Brother, you came just in time, didn't you ask you to ask for more wooden dogs last time? Why haven't there been any news yet?"

Fourteen wiped his face, jumped out and said, "Fourth Brother, Old Ninth and the others bullied me, you will help me find my way back later!"

The fourth master ignored him, first greeted Concubine De, and then said: "I have already sent someone to do it, but it is not done yet."

Brother Fourteen was not happy anymore, and cried to Concubine De, "No, if there is no wooden dog, or I have to make Lao Jiu and the others so happy, I want it now!"

Concubine De nodded to his nose and asked him: "Aren't you shy when you are about to marry a wife and still cry?"

Brother Fourteen embarrassedly buried his head on Concubine De's shoulder, and said in disbelief, "I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, Fourteen will always be with Erniang."

Concubine De was so coaxed that she couldn't laugh or cry. Tonight's mess, she turned her head and asked her eldest son, "Did you not take this matter to heart? It takes so long to be a wooden dog?"

Fourth Master kept a blank face, and didn't reply to Concubine De's words, but turned his head and stared at Elder Fourteen seriously, "What are you doing here when you're not studying in the study?"

Elder Fourteen immediately shrank his neck and hid behind Concubine De.

Concubine De patted the younger son's arm, feeling unhappy on the spot, and said directly to the elder son: "Your brother is still young, why are you training him, Er Niang asked you to do something, why don't you want to do something?"

Fourth Master immediately lowered his head, "Er..."

Concubine De waved her hand and interrupted him impatiently, "Okay, needless to say, your brother just wants a little wooden dog, and you can't even do such a small thing. You won't be able to use the Yonghe Palace these days. When will Let's talk about this matter!"

A look of helplessness flashed across the face of the fourth elder brother, and it was like this again, every time when the fourteenth matter was involved, Concubine De would be as unreasonable as a mother animal protecting her cubs, and in a fit of anger, she didn't say anything about Minning's confession, and he went straight out. palace.

After leaving the palace, I realized that I forgot to ask the Building Office of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ask for a tool that can study the chiming bell.

The fourth master returned home that day, Minning got the news and went over to inquire, the fourth master pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Xiao Shisi is studying in the study room, and the Li master seldom sees him on weekdays."

Min Ning believed it was true, and then asked Fourth Master, "Can you bring Fourteenth Brother to the mansion, and I will personally persuade him."

Fourth Master looked at her for a long time before he said, "Okay, I just heard that Shisi's wooden dog was broken. Unless you have a better one, you won't be able to attract him." Before, he told his mother that he couldn't find it, but in the end It popped up again in a blink of an eye, and the empress probably thought he did it on purpose.

Minning immediately patted his chest to assure him, "Please don't worry about this, although it didn't achieve the effect I wanted, but I can guarantee that it is better than the one that the fourteenth elder brother took away."

Fourth Master nodded, "Tomorrow I will call Fourteen."

When Minning went back, he asked people to bring all the twelve zodiac signs that had been made.

The next day, fourth master brought Elder Brother Ten 34 back to the mansion.

"Fourth brother, why did you ask us to come?" Fourteenth elder brother cheated fourth brother in front of Concubine De yesterday, so at this time he inevitably felt a little guilty.Fortunately, Thirteen was also pulled over by him, even if Fourth Brother wanted to beat him up, Thirteen could help stop him, right?

Fourth Master directly brought the two of them into the garden. Minning in the East Garden had already prepared the twelve zodiac signs, but these could only walk but not run, and except for the zodiac dog, the others would not make any sound.

As soon as the fourteenth elder brother saw the row of toys, he immediately ignored his fourth brother, and ran over to look left and right, as if he couldn't put it down.

"Little sister-in-law, are these all prepared for Shisan and me?" Brother Fourteen asked Minning in surprise.

The thirteenth elder brother also came to the pavilion with the fourth master.

Minning stood aside and said with a smile: "Yes, it was just ready and delivered yesterday." She said and handed a little tiger to Brother Thirteen.

Fourteen also took a glance, put down the puppy, and immediately picked up the Jiaotu, "I'm a dragon." He groped for the Jiaotu with a smile, put it on the ground and took two steps slowly, and found that he couldn't bark. After that, and after the puppy was not as flexible, I was a little dissatisfied and changed back to the puppy.

Seeing this scene, Minning said, "Actually, there are craftsmen there who are studying how to make these twelve zodiac signs run."

Brother Fourteen raised his head immediately, "Really? When will it be made? If you make it and give me one, I will make Brother Ninth envy them to death!" He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

"If you encounter a small problem, you may not be able to overcome it in a short time. You need the help of a craftsman who can make a self-ringing bell."

Fourteenth elder brother rolled his eyes, and then said cheerfully: "This matter is on me, I will ask Khan Ama later!"

Fourth Master remained silent, Fourteen was indeed more favored than his elder brother in front of Khan Ama.

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Minning said happily, "If the two elder brothers are willing to help and solve this problem, then when I open the shop, I will share a share of the profits with the two of you."

Unexpectedly, the fourteenth elder brother asked her on the spot after hearing this, "little sister-in-law, did you plan it out earlier? You specially invited us here, just to ask us to help?"

Minning was stunned for a moment, as expected, they came out of the palace, and they all looked like human beings.This little trick of hers has long been seen by others, and even Brother Fourteen has a few more thoughts than her.

Then he looked at Si Ye who was drinking tea, and was not surprised to see him at all, Minning knew that he knew the result a long time ago.

Min Ning nodded honestly, knelt down and explained to him in detail, "We in the Qing Dynasty are now studying chiming bells in the palace, and the folks can't find similar craftsmen, so I thought of asking two elder brothers for help."

Then Minning came up with the plan, for example, after it was completed, it would be given to the younger brothers to hold a race together. Not only the [-]th brother, but also the thirteenth brother also got brighter and brighter, and immediately agreed .

"Not only can the ninth brother be envious, but also cheat the ninth brother's money, I agree to this!" Thinking that he can take revenge with his own hands, the fourteenth brother raised his hands and voted on the spot.

The two of them have no idea about Yinzi, but when it comes to playing, they are still children at heart, and no one can escape.

The next day, two craftsmen from the palace appeared in Baylor's mansion, and Minning transferred them to the mansion.

And let the people in the house treat him well. After all, they are people from the palace. They are only helping to solve the problem, and they will return it later.

Entering December, the north is not only surprisingly cold, but also has light rain for several days in a row.

The entire capital city is in a damp and cold environment, the wind is raging, the trees are blown and swayed from side to side, and broken branches can be seen on the roadside from time to time, and people have to wrap themselves in several layers when they go out.

On such a cold day, news of people freezing to death spread from time to time, and the benevolent people in the capital began to give out porridge and provide a place where they could temporarily settle down.After the prince also started serving porridge, the Baylor Mansion followed suit with a porridge shop.

Minning also earned a lot of money this year, so she donated a thousand shi of rice noodles, some warm clothes, and a thousand catties of briquettes. However, what she donated was not given out with Baylor House, but sent directly to Puji Hall and nurseries.

The emperor probably also felt that the winter was too cold to stay in the palace, so he thought of going to Xiaotangshan to soak in the hot springs for a few days.

After the emperor drove, the fourth master also took the whole family to Xiaotangshan with the burden of money.

Sitting in the carriage and looking at the familiar Zhuangzi, Minning felt a little emotional. After all, she stayed here for two years, but she did not expect that she would have changed her identity when she came back again.

In front of Zhuangzi's gate, a group of people knelt down to greet him, Fourth Master and Fujin got off the carriage hand in hand, Min Ning, Li Gege and other concubines got off the other carriage.

This time not only the whole family was dispatched, but also the only two young masters in the house.Hong Hui was hugged by the nanny, and Li Gege held Er Gege's hand.

Minning was behind, watching Fourth Master help Nanny Wu up with his own hands.

After the room was divided, the group settled down, and the servants from Zhuangzi came to ask when the meal would be served.

Minning looked at the green potted plants and brightly blooming flowers everywhere in the room, and he was in a good mood, so he smiled and said that he could order something casually.

She was treated completely differently this time from last time.

She used to be thin and her face didn't open. She was a completely different person from now. Minning touched her ruddy and fair face. It was thanks to Nanny Shi who made up for her in the past two years that she had such a big change.

After visiting Fujin, Madam Wu came to visit An Gege again, and heard that An Gege was no less favored in the master's backyard than the former Li Gege.

An Gege was in a good mood and didn't make things difficult for her, but Madam Wu still felt that this An Gege was somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it, she couldn't remember when she met her. Nanny Wu could only put this thought behind her, and quickly went to the kitchen to arrange meals for the masters.

Not seeing each other for two years, the whole Zhuangzi has undergone major changes, especially in the east courtyard where not only several houses have been added, but also hot springs have been introduced into the underground of each house, making the whole house lazy without floor heating.

There is also a courtyard with several small hot spring pools specially opened for people to soak in hot springs.

After lunch, Minning took the specially made swimsuit and swimming trunks, and ran to the hot spring yard alone.

Because Zhuangzi is not big, except for Fujin who brought Fangfei, Minning and Li Gege didn't bring anyone around them, and the people assigned to serve were all from Zhuangzi.

The one Minning got was called Lu Ya, she still remembered this person, her parents both farmed the land in the Zhuangzi, and they helped in the Zhuangzi when she was a child, so it can be said that she grew up in the Zhuangzi.

However, she has been dressed as a woman, and she must have married during these two years.

Except for Biying, who is used to her, Minning doesn't like others watching her take a bath, so she asks her to watch outside.

After a little cleaning in the small bamboo hut next to her for changing clothes, she put on her swimsuit and swimming trunks and walked to the hot spring pool. She splashed water all over her body before entering the water.

Looking at the surrounding hot spring pools separated by bamboo, Minning felt a little strange. Before she left, the area around the pool was still empty, only rockery pavilions, and the pools were not separated from each other. Obviously, these bamboos were migrated later. .

So Minning asked Luya through the bamboo.

"This..." Luya hesitated.

Minning asked her, "Is it impossible to say?"

Lu Ya replied: "It's just related to the young master."

Except for those who knew the identity of fourth master, everyone in the village called him young master.

Something to do with fourth master?

When Minning heard this, he immediately became a little curious, and hurriedly poked Lu Ya to speak out.

Lu Ya honestly told all she knew, "A few years ago, the young master came to Zhuangzi, and heard that a maid broke in while taking a hot spring, and the young master slipped and fell into the pool to drink several mouthfuls of water. These pools were then replanted with trees to isolate the pools."

As soon as Minning heard it, he immediately imagined in his mind the scene where Fourth Master was frightened and slipped into the hot spring pool, and couldn't help giggling.

But soon she seemed to think of something, and her voice slowly stopped.

Could it be, could it be that the maid is Cui Bi?

Didn't Cuibi disappear during the fourth master's visit to Zhuangzi?She never saw him on Zhuangzi again.

Thinking of this, Min Ning leaned his head on the shore, held the water on his body with the other hand, and asked casually, "Then where is the maid?"

Lu Ya didn't care and said, "Who knows? I heard that she was dealt with by Manager Lin on the spot."

Minning's splashing of water stopped, and soon continued. I don't know whether it was too long or other reasons. Hearing about Cuibi again, he was not as panic-stricken as before, and his heart was very calm, just like hearing about Cuibi. A Stranger Things.

With a wry smile in my heart, when did I become so cold-blooded?Was she assimilated by this era, or was she originally a cold-blooded person.

It seemed, as if she had gradually adapted to this kind of superior life, her heart had gradually become cold, and she could treat this matter indifferently.

Afterwards, Minning convinced himself in his heart that in this era, if he didn't need to wrap his heart with thick armor, sooner or later he would be torn to pieces.

At this moment, she discarded Cuibi and those soft-hearted emotions in the old days.

For a while, there was only the sound of Minning splashing water, and the green shoots outside stopped talking. After a while, the door between the bamboos was pulled open.

Minning was still thinking that she didn't let Luya in, so how dare she make her own claims?

As soon as he turned around, he saw fourth master walking in.

Minning wanted to laugh, Fourth Master was wearing a big trousers, and his bald head and the braid on his head were so dramatic!

She smiled and asked, "Grandpa, why are you here?" Then she looked out, and saw that there was no one left at the place where Lu Ya was guarding, and it must have been waved back by the fourth master.

Fourth Master took off his clothes and pants and threw them aside, slowly slipped into the water, and walked towards the place where Minning was sitting.

With a kick, Minning slipped to the opposite side like a slippery fish.

Fourth Master didn't catch anyone, so he had to sit down by the pool, and then he said, "I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find the ground, so I went to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

Minning only exposed his head on the water, blinked and said: "I thought you would accompany Fujin first, so I didn't come here for a while."

Fourth master poured water on his body, and only said: "Fu Jin wants to coax Hong Hui to sleep."

Minning understood, what he meant was that Fujin wanted to coax the elder brother, so Li Gege naturally had to take care of Er Gege, so she was the only one who had time to serve him.

While Minning was in a daze, Fourth Master quietly touched her, grabbed her, and held her in his arms.

Minning was startled and began to struggle, and the swimsuit she was wearing surfaced out of the water.

The fiery red swimsuit could only barely cover those three spots, trying to show them off, making Fourth Master stare at her with bloodshot eyes.

"Who told you to dress like this in broad daylight?"

Minning hid in the water, bared his mouth and laughed dryly, "Master, there was only one person here..." So it doesn't matter what the daylight is.

Fourth master picked her up and went ashore, and put on the clothes he had taken off and put on the shore before.

When they got ashore, the cold wind blew, which made Minning's skin crawl.

She put on her clothes tremblingly, wanting to hide in the water.

Fourth Master pulled the rope next to him and a series of bells rang, and someone came to the door and asked in a low voice. "Grandpa, what are your orders?"

Minning recognized Su Peisheng's voice, but the crack at the door was blocked by Fourth Master, so she couldn't see outside.

Fourth Master asked him for some wine and snacks.

Not long after, all these were brought over. Fourth master brought them over, closed the door, put them on the shore, and then went into the water.

After entering the water, seeing Minning still hiding aside, he frowned and asked her, "Is it cold, why don't you go into the water?"

Min Ning said with an aggrieved face, "How can someone go into the water with your clothes on?"

Fourth master said coldly: "The clothes are for you to wear in the water!"

Min Ning curled his lips, thinking that this man was really unnecessary, so he jumped into the water quickly.

The water splashed on fourth master's face, fourth master wiped the water all over his face, staring at her with dead fish eyes.

Minning chuckled, took a small dish of braised duck feet from the plate next to it, and started to chew.

Fourth Master was drinking the wine, Min Ning leaned over and took a sip, then bared his teeth and stuck out his tongue, "It's so spicy!"

Fourth Master picked up the jug next to her and poured her another glass of deep red wine, "That's Erguotou, it's not suitable for you to drink, drink this Zhuangyuanhong."

Minning picked it up and took a sip carefully. It was a little sour and a little sweet, and it also had the fragrance of roses, which didn't fit the name Zhuangyuanhong at all.

"It's delicious!" She drank it in one gulp.

Minning was wearing fourth master's big casual clothes, because he was going to soak in the hot springs, so the casual clothes were very light.It was nothing at first, but now that it was soaked in water, you could vaguely see the red dress inside, and Fourth Master happened to see it, and his eyes inadvertently rested on her.

After soaking in the water for a long time, she was a little thirsty, and accidentally drank the whole jug of wine as juice.

But wine is wine after all, no matter how small the alcohol content is, it still contains alcohol, it's just the amount of alcohol it contains.

After drinking a jug of wine, although he would not get drunk, it still made Minning a little dizzy.

She didn't know which nerve was wrong in her mind, she suddenly slapped the surface of the water and laughed, "Master, I heard that you fell in the pool before and drank several sips of water?"

Fourth master's hand holding the wine glass froze immediately, and his sharp eyes turned sideways.

Minning also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she swallowed her saliva, and quietly hid in the water, this time she only exposed her nose, but soon the alcohol came on, she felt hot, and her head started to sweat. He quietly hid in the water and took off his coat.

The clothes fell into the water, Minning moved slowly towards the center of the pool, moved for a while, probably felt that he was far away from Fourth Master, and the distance was safe.She dialed the water with her palm and said to fourth master, "Master, I didn't expect you to be such a kind person."

Fourth master looked at her. What the hell was he trying to do by feeding him the ecstasy at this time?

Seeing that he had no objection, Minning continued, "Master, I just heard from the people here that you saved a little girl before and put it in this village on purpose. I never thought that Master would show kindness when he didn't know that this little girl Where is the girl now, can I please come out and see you later."

Fourth Master looked at her sideways, with doubts on his face, "Have you ever saved someone?"

Min Ning felt uncomfortable. After all, Fourth Master was her greatest benefactor after she came to this world. To her, the person who changed her destiny had already forgotten her.

So what is she expecting?

Minning gave up, where does the love for children come from in this man's heart?

Fortunately, she still felt a little tempted.

Minning turned his head away, "Since there is no one, forget it, anyway, I just asked casually."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that her expression was wrong, fourth master put the cup on the plate and walked towards her.

However, within a few steps, he slipped on the soles of his feet and fell into the hot spring pool with a splash, splashing a large amount of water.

Minning turned around and saw this scene, she was scared out of her wits, "Master, are you alright?"

She hurried over to help him up, Fourth Master spit out water, wiped his face, grabbed the plainclothes in his hand, and asked her through gritted teeth, "An Jia, when did you take off your clothes again?"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Minning quickly backed away.

The fourth master grabbed him and imprisoned him on his body. Min Ning kept struggling. When he got off the hatchback, the fourth master was on fire both in his body and in his heart. He carried him out of the hot spring pool and went to the side to change clothes. Go to the small bamboo house.

Minning, who was already too tired to move, went back to the house and slept until the next day.

On the second day, Luya served her. Although she was not as comfortable as Biying, she was more honest and would do whatever she was asked to do. She would also tell her some interesting stories about Zhuangzi, which made her quite satisfied.

In the area of ​​Xiaotangshan, not only the fourth master has Zhuangzi, but also the king of Zhijun and the king of Chengjun, and they are not only bigger than the fourth master's.

But even though everyone moved here secretly, the emperor didn't summon them, and they didn't dare to disturb them privately.

In the past few days, the fourth master has been wandering around the Zhuangzi, perhaps meeting the farmers, or reducing or exempting the poor from the family, and the women on the Zhuangzi have not been idle and started a new round of fighting for favor.

After all, it's not like the strict rules in the mansion. You can see fourth master from time to time. It would be the best if you can conceive a child in one fell swoop. Now that fourth master is having a difficult time with offspring, it would be good to give birth to a princess.

The women in the backyard all had this little calculation in their hearts, and for a while, fourth master found that he had met women more often on the road.

Minning didn't go up, it was inconvenient for her to come these few days, and it made other women gloat and feel that she was unlucky.

Among them, Li Gege's tail is the most cocked. The fourth master went to her yard yesterday, but today she looked so weak that she turned around in front of Minning's gate.

This behavior amused Minning, she thought she knew why Fourth Master spoiled Li Gege before, it was all because of her innocence.

The days in Zhuangzi passed in such a lively and lively way. Less than six days later, the emperor drove back to the palace to celebrate the Laba Festival.

Minning and his gang went back home again.

Well, apart from soaking in the hot spring for two days, she really doesn't know what she did this trip?

Just after the new year, fourth master was sent to inspect the Yongding River.

Not long after Fourth Master left, good news came from the backyard. Li Gege was diagnosed as one month pregnant.

This made all the women in the backyard tear up the veil.

After doing the math, she should have been conceived at that hot spring resort.Although envious and jealous of Li Gege's good stomach, all the people in the backyard cast their strange eyes on Angege. After all, in the whole backyard, except for Fujin, only Angege had the most luck with his master.

Then again, it has been the third year that An Gege has been in the mansion, and there is no good news yet. For a while, there are heated discussions in the backyard, and everyone is guessing whether An Gege is just occupying the position and not laying eggs.

"Gege, look at what they said is so ugly, should we ask the imperial physician to clarify for you?" Biying looked worriedly at Minning who was pruning the potted plants.

This is Minning's new hobby recently. Using a small pot to carry landscapes and gardens can cultivate his mood.

Carefully cut off a miscellaneous leaf, Minning put down the scissors to appreciate it carefully, and then replied, "Please come over with the imperial doctor, won't outsiders think that I have a problem? Maybe people think I'm not hitting on myself. How about a move?"

Bi Ying reproached, "Ge Ge, aren't you in a hurry?"

Minning put the potted plant on the windowsill: "Hurry up, what's my hurry?"

"Ge Ge, why don't we quietly find a doctor to come into the mansion?" Bi Ying suggested in a low voice.

In fact, there has been no news of Minning for such a long time, and the servants in the yard are most anxious.No little master is born, they are all rootless duckweed.

Just like the emperor, he must have heirs to make the court feel at ease and the people all over the world feel at ease.With offspring, the court will not be in turmoil, the world will not be in turmoil, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Of course Minning knew that she was fine. She hadn't been pregnant for such a long time and was just using her own method of contraception, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good.

And now it is the initial stage of starting a business, she does not plan to get pregnant at this time.

"Okay, don't worry about it. I'm in good health. I'm not pregnant just because of fate." Minning replied to her, and then asked her, "How is Mo Shu's dowry prepared?"

After the new year, Minning reported Mo Shu to Fujin, and Fujin said that her maid let her handle it by herself, and there was no need to report to her.

Upon hearing this reply, Minning directly asked Mo Shu to leave the mansion and go home to be married.In the past few days, while Biying tidied up the warehouse, she selected a suitable dowry for Mo Shu.

"It's almost ready, a total of ten loads."

Ten lifts of dowry is already a considerable amount for an ordinary family, and these ten lifts are just an addition to Minning's dowry, and she even gave her a shop in private.

To the people around him, Min Ning was generous, not necessarily without the intention of buying horse bones with a lot of money.

The person who replaced Mo Shu was the original second-class girl in the yard, and then Mo Shu's name was taken from Mo characters, called Mo Yu.

Because Mo Yu had just taken over, she was only in charge of combing Min Ning's hair and some simple chores. Bi Ying was worried about handing over the things that Mo Shu did to her all of a sudden, so she was very busy these days.

In the end, Minning couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked her to raise a few more girls, each of them divided the work and monitored each other, and she took care of the overall situation.

Now that Biying is free, she finds this method very convenient, so she uses this method in the yard to tie up the fence of the yard firmly, and also finds out a few maids who are in Cao Ying's heart. .

But Minning didn't let her move, it's good to know who it is, and keep an eye on it so that no important news is leaked out.In order to prevent these people from being cleared out, people who go deeper will be placed in.

"Then send these over the day before the wedding."

Bi Ying said good, and then said jealously: "Ge Ge, isn't it a bit out of line for you to give Mo Shu so many good things at once." The value of these ten liters was higher than the dowry that the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought for Ge Ge back then.

Minning smiled and twisted her face, "Are you jealous? Don't worry, I will accompany you more when you get married!"

Bi Ying covered her face, stomped her feet and ran away in embarrassment.

The fourth master came back in March, and entered the palace first. When he came back, Fujin had brought everyone to greet him at the door. When he learned that Li Gege was pregnant, he just let him know and encouraged Li Gege to take care of himself.

Minning suddenly found that the fourth master glanced at her belly, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, before she could see clearly, the fourth master had already held Fujin's hand, comforting her for the hard work these days, and then followed Fujin back to the main courtyard .

Seeing this, the others naturally dispersed like birds and beasts, and went back to their respective courtyards.

The next day, Fourth Master came to Minning's yard. After the two sat down, Fourth Master touched her stomach, "Why is it not you who has news?"

Minning pushed his hand away, and spread his hands helplessly, "Master, this kind of thing depends on whether God rewards or not, maybe I am destined to be childless." I dare to say that she was right yesterday.

The fourth master scowled, "Nonsense, I checked that your grandmother gave birth to seven sons and three daughters, and after three died, she also survived five sons and two daughters. Your mother-in-law gave birth to two sons and a daughter. It's your turn Impossible to have none."

Minning opened his mouth wide in surprise, when did this person check so clearly?

So she?Has it been found that she was ever lost?

Minning became nervous, but seeing that Fourth Master didn't seem to know about it, she felt relieved again.Probably just learned about the situation in her home, and didn't investigate deeply.

That's right, the family had moved before, and the people nearby all met later, and no one knew what happened to her, as if they didn't know that An's family was developed later and then moved there.

"Master, you know very well." She replied dryly, and then changed the subject: "Master is still young, and there will definitely be more sons in the future."

Fourth Master was silent for a moment, his eyes were a little red, and he touched her belly, "I want a child that comes out of your belly." A healthy child.

Seeing his sad look, Minning quickly remembered that brother Hongjin's death day was approaching.Hongyu's mother-in-law is just now pregnant with a child, which is the time to be cautious, and the mansion has long forgotten this elder brother who has no sequence of teeth, and only the fourth master probably remembers it.

"Master, do you think of Honglin?" She asked cautiously.

Fourth master didn't say a word, Minning knew it well, it was fine if he didn't speak.

She said: "Speaking of which, after my mother's death, my Ama enshrined the death card for her in the temple. It has been hanging for nearly ten years. Maybe my mother was reincarnated, but when I was at home, Our family will go to the temple to worship once a year, as if my mother-in-law has not left but is temporarily living in the temple."

Fourth master understood what she meant, and when he patted her, "Tomorrow, I will also have people enshrine the past life card to Hongyi in the temple." Offering the past life card will benefit the reincarnated person even if they are reincarnated.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "It just so happens that the Bolin Temple is next to the house. Tomorrow, I will ask the host if he can hang up."

It was probably a good idea for the fourth master, Minning obviously found that the fourth master was very satisfied with her, and even the potted plants that she had cut badly were very face-saving.

When washing fourth master's feet at night, Minning found that the seams between his toes were soaked. It seems that when he was patrolling the river workers a while ago, he often ran into the water, and this alone was enough to make her respectful.

Then she thought of a sharp weapon, that is, rubber shoes. If there were rubber shoes, how many people would be saved from the pain of rotten toes in the future?

Considering that it is now the gold rush wave from Europe to the Americas, rubber trees should have been discovered.

Coupled with the fact that there are merchant ships from Europe that come to Qing Dynasty from time to time, this can be taken advantage of to bring rubber trees to Qing Dynasty.

Maybe by making side-steps, Fourth Master had more contact with missionaries from Europe, and she leaked the American gold mine from it, so that the Qing Dynasty could also share in the dividends of developing America.

Or maybe she can organize a trip to America by herself, and when she comes back, she will inadvertently reveal the news of the gold mine discovered overseas. Even if she stops it, it won't stop those folks who want to get rich and want to go crazy.

A continent as large as America will soon be known by the Qing Dynasty, so would the talented and bold emperor let go of this piece of fat?
