Chapter 030

The boat went south, although it was said that the Empress Dowager Feng traveled south, but in fact the main purpose of Kangxi's southern tour was to inspect the river engineering.Unexpectedly, Da Fujin was not able to go out with him this time, and he was worried that there would be no one around him who knew how to keep warm, so he simply asked the side Fujin Wu Yashi to accompany him; the third and fourth elder brothers all brought their own Fujin, Wan Ning and They don't know each other well, and it's not easy to have fun together.The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are still young, and they have to study with the accompanying Hanlin bachelor during the day.

"Concubine Zhang Jia's health is getting worse and worse, brother thirteen is often in a trance, and he doesn't pay attention to his homework at all." Hu Po spooned a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup for Wan Ning, "I also heard that the emperor intends to tour the south Canonizing Concubine Zhang Jiashu as a concubine is a sign of joy."

Wan Ning took a sip of the delicious soup, and said: "Concubine Zhang Jiashu has been suffering from minor illnesses for the past few years, brother Thirteen is filial, so I am naturally worried." If she remembers correctly, Concubine Zhang Jiashu is She died of illness in the middle of this year, and she still couldn't get the golden book seal of the concubine she wanted during her lifetime, and she was only posthumously named Concubine Min after her death.However, the thirteenth elder brother fought hard and made good friends with the fourth elder brother. Although he had been in the beekeeping circle for ten years, he still became the most trusted person of the emperor during the Yongzheng period. Jingling became the first imperial concubine to be buried with the emperor in the Qing Dynasty.

"I'll be in Hangzhou in a few days. Ba Ye is following the Emperor's work these few days, and I don't have time to accompany Master. Master might as well go out on the deck for a breather." I thought Ba Ye would take his master with him. Going out will definitely allow the master to have a good time. Unexpectedly, during the past month of the boat trip, seeing the people along the Yellow River living in dire straits, the emperor was furious and dismissed several officials one after another. .Amber saw that her master had been staying in the cabin, so she suggested.

"There is a lot of inconvenience outside, and there is no need to go out." Wan Ning asked someone to pack up the food box. This is the seventh day that Yinhu has not eaten with her, and she has long been used to it. Brother Fang Fujin invites her to come and sit for a while when he is free, chatting and killing time."

"Yes."

Speaking of which, Wu Yashi and Yinhu also have some "origins". When Kangxi ordered Concubine Hui to choose Gege for Yinhu, Wu Yashi was also on the waiting list, but in the end Kangxi and Concubine Hui still made a decision The Lang family and the Wu Ya family were accused of being given to the elder brother. Taking advantage of Da Fujin's poor health and needing to rest, he stood out from the encirclement in just two years and firmly sat on the position of the most favored side Fujin in the county prince's mansion.Such scheming cannot be underestimated.

"I just said that I was a bit bored, and it happened that you sent someone over." Wu Yashi was wearing a lychee red cloak decorated with grapes, and the golden jade step hairpin with pearl tassels on her hair was shaking slightly.She had a smile in her eyes, and against her flowery and jade-like face, she was charming and charming, no wonder the elder brother cared so much for her. "I just had my meal, and I know you're not hungry. It just so happened that my master gave me a bottle of rose honeydew, so I borrowed flowers to worship Buddha."

"So I invited you here, how dare I ask you to bring some food?" Wan Ning smiled and told the thrush on the side, "Go and get some snacks."

"Let's leave it alone, why not drink it all up." Wu Yashi smiled, "I will disembark in Hangzhou in a few days. I have never been out of Beijing, and I don't know what the scenery of Hangzhou is like?"

"I heard that it is very different from the cultural landscape of the capital. The mountains and rivers contain infinite charm. I also want to take a good tour." Wan Ning suddenly remembered that when the elder brother went on tour in the 38th year of his previous life, he received many officials from the south. Filial piety, ordinary ice respect and charcoal respect is nothing more than that, the key is that on the way back, they also brought two Han women with bound feet. It can be seen that it is not uncommon for officials in the Jiangnan area to give each other singers and beauties.In her previous life, Wu Yashi also went on tour with elder brother, but she was reprimanded and neglected because she verbally humiliated a beauty that elder brother liked a lot, and she was never favored again after that.

Should she tell Wu Yashi about this?

"What are you thinking about frowning?" Wu Yashi took a bite of the milk water chestnut cake, and seeing Wanning's frown, she asked with concern, "But you feel unwell?"

"Not really, I just suddenly remembered some gossip, and I don't know if it's true." Wan Ning took a sip of rose honeydew, "I heard that officials in the Jiangnan area like to give gifts to each other. It's vulgar, and now it's even more of a comparison with the "adopted daughters" of other prefectures. Those women are proficient in everything, and they are second- or third-bedroom wives in Beppu.

Wu Yashi immediately thought of the concubine Wang who is now favored in the palace. Isn't she the beauty sent by the officials during the emperor's southern tour?It seems that there may be some groundless rumors. If someone wants to send a beauty to the grandfather, wouldn't it be that one more person enters the mansion to share the favor?No, this matter must be killed in the cradle!

Wan Ning still didn't know that her words had the opposite effect. No matter how scheming Wu Yashi was, she was only a girl under 16 years old. She was all focused on fighting for the attention of the big brother, but she couldn't turn around and consider buying shares. I am really bitter and jealous, will the elder brother dislike her?

On March 22, Yujia parked in Hangzhou.Kangxi was in a pretty good mood as he dealt with a lot of officials who bullied his subordinates and hid them from doing business. In front of him.

"The ministers are hosting a banquet tonight, and Ama Khan told all of us brothers to attend, and we are going out now." Yinhu tidied up the prince's clothes, "Tonight, the officials and female relatives also invited Mama to have a drink and listen to a play. Don't be lazy, go to Mamo's place to accompany her."

"The concubine's life is naturally saved, and the queen mother just let someone pass the message." After tidying up the sachet and jade pendant on Yinhu's belt, Wanning replied with a smile, "Master, hurry up, don't delay the time, the concubine's body It's time to change clothes and go to greet the Queen Mother."

After sending Yinhu away, Wanning sat in front of the vanity mirror and dressed carefully.Although this is not the first time she has appeared in front of the Queen Mother, but usually she is just a side Fujin, and Guo Luoluo's family deliberately suppressed her. It's just on the face.Picking up the eyebrow pencil to outline her eyebrows, dyed her lips with pink lip balm, and changed into a Yunfei makeup satin woven colorful butterfly cloak, Wan Ning put a pair of hollow orchid pearl hairpins on her bun, After looking left and right to confirm that there were no omissions, he took Hu Po's hand and got into the soft sedan chair.

Although the Empress Dowager has lived in the capital for many years, her Chinese dialect is actually at the same level. She can't understand a word of the accents on the stage, so she simply pulls Guerjia nobleman and others to talk, and there are Sanfujin, Sifujin, etc. Fujin was joking around in front of him, and at last he didn't make the banquet cold.

"I heard that Lao Bajia has been in poor health, what's going on?"

Wan Ning didn't like listening to operas very much, and was born holding a wine glass, when she heard the queen mother ask a question, she blinked and immediately came back to her senses, and replied: "The imperial doctor said that Fujin's body is already delicate, and now he is Fengxie. Into the body, so it is very troublesome to take care of. You can't get angry at will, and you can't get tired. The master is worried about Fujin's body, so he told Fujin to take care of his body so that he doesn't have to worry about it."

The empress dowager's struggle in the harem was not high. During the Shunzhi Dynasty, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen was always protecting her. After the emperor ascended the throne, it was only for her to curry favor with her, so it was just a casual question.I remember Concubine Hui mentioned that the eighth daughter-in-law had to drink bitter medicinal soup every month, probably because she was really not in good health, so she nodded and went to listen to Sanfujin and Sifujin talk about Hongqing and Honghui's joy .

The queen mother doesn't know, don't others know?There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Bafujin does have to drink medicine every month, but those are gynecological conditioning medicines. She was good at riding and shooting when she was young. How could she be sick for a few months?Sanfujin and Sifujin exchanged a knowing look. It would be a lie to say that the side Fujin in front of him has no means, but Bafujin is really out of tune. Now that he is out of favor and treated coldly, he will never Know how to get back in love.Who doesn't have many concubine Gege who is favored, if they were fighting tit for tat like Ba Fujin, they would have been disgusted by the master long ago.Even with the support of An Jun Wang's Mansion, it doesn't matter, An Jun Wang can't control the affairs of Babeile Mansion.

Wanning didn't pay attention to the sizing eyes of Sanfujin and Sifujin, and only talked to Wu Yashi on one side.I remember that after the banquet was over, the elder brother brought the two beauties back. Although he was serving as the embroiderer, anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on.

"I thought about what you said that day, and I didn't feel at ease, so I sent someone to inquire about it. Sure enough, several officials brought a lot of women over. It seems that they are indeed planning to present them." Wu Yashi took a sip of wine, "It's just a group of prostitutes from Jiaofang. No title of adopted daughter can change their background. If the master really accepts them, I must have a good talk with the master."

"Why are you doing this?" Wan Ning said in a low voice, "Those officials are flattering you just because they want to build a good relationship with Big Brother, and Big Brother doesn't want to embarrass them. If you don't want to mess around , Be careful, big brother just ignored you. Besides, do you think Da Fujin will let these women live in peace and stability in the county prince's mansion? Forbearance is calm for a while, and it's not too late to make plans after returning to Beijing. "

"You have a good temper. What should you do if the eighth elder brother also accepts those girls?" Wu Yashi smiled bitterly.

"If it's true, that's the only way to go." Wan Ning said indifferently.It's not that she resigned to fate, but based on her understanding of Yinhu, Yinhu would never accept any of them.

Wu Yashi just shook his head slightly, and began to drink on his own.

Maybe it was Wan Ning's words that had an effect, or maybe it was because he was too drunk to drink. When the elder brother brought a few singers back to the yard that night, Wu Yashi really didn't make a fuss. He just ordered them to be sent to the sewing room. But he also said that he was unwell and could not serve the elder brother, so he "invited" the elder brother to the study.

Compared with the troubles that everyone knew about in the previous life, Wu Yashi is still calm and restrained this time.Wan Ning took off the pearl hairpin on her head and put it back in the brocade box, and then she heard Huamei reply that Yinhu had also returned, and had prepared hot water for washing up.

Sure enough, he did not accept the filial piety of any official.

However, Wanning's good mood could not last long, and the next day she was completely defeated by the official's wife who came to visit.
