Across the Red Mansion: Qingwen Upgrade Road

It is said that Kangxi's secret decree was spread among the elder brothers, Yinyi couldn't help it at first, and ran to the prince's Yuqing Palace to sit. "Second brother, what do you mean Huang Ama? Although we didn't say that we can only bring our own sons, is it appropriate not to take them with us? But if we do, then we can only bring them with us. One, which one do you want to take with you? The oldest brother is Hong Yu, who is also the son-in-law, so of course he should take it. But the few little demon stars below have been restless, and have been pestering him ever since they found out about this matter. I'm going to follow, tell me what to do?"

Yinfeng looked at Yinyin's impatient look and smiled, "Since my nephews want to go, brother, you can take them with you. But the rule is that one person takes care of one child, so you should make it clear to them that you can go, but you have to do it yourself. Find a partner."

Yin Yin's eyes lit up, and he patted the prince's shoulder with a big hand like a palm fan, "Yes, the second brother has a way, as expected of the prince."

Yinfeng smiled wryly, this eldest brother would only admit his crown prince at this time. "However, this game is an internal matter of our family. We can't invite outsiders to come. Brother, go back and talk to the children carefully. It's okay if the guards around you are willing to participate. Huang Ama is just for fun, we support it That's it."

Yinbi nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you said. I'll go back and talk to them. Don't you know that not only a few boys are making trouble, but even the girls want to go. Do you think it's suitable for them to show their faces? I will definitely not agree."

Yinfeng looked at Yinfeng suspiciously, this person loves daughters the most, before his sister-in-law had given birth to three daughters in a row, but she didn't see how this person was doing, now she's hardened.Yinyi was flustered by the prince's look, so he turned and went out the door.

The seven-year-old Hong Xi led the five-year-old Hong Jin into the door, obediently greeted Ann, and looked up at the prince one by one.Yinrong patted his forehead, the problem at home has not been resolved yet.The biological mothers of these two boys are both side Fujin, and they are about the same age. Which one should I take with me?

Hong Xi and Hong Jin looked at each other when their Ama was distressed. Hong Xi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Hong Xi won't go, Ama will take my younger brother."

Hongjin is small but smart, he knows that his brother is letting him go, and just now he talked to Ama about bringing the two of them together. "Ama, my son is still young. If I go with Ama, I will hold her back. Look at brother Hongyu from my uncle's family is as old as me, and brother Hongqing from my third uncle's family is also five years old. When the time comes Elder brother has gone to win you the first place, and we are not alone."

What Hong Jin said was clear and organized, which made Yin Reng look at him with admiration. This son is a troublemaker. He has done a lot of bad things since he was a child, but now he is enlightened. "That's a good point, but we want to win with integrity, and we can't take advantage. Ama and your uncle just said that we can go as long as we want, but each person can only take one child, so Hongxi, you are the eldest son. Set an example for your younger brothers. So you will be the first to choose a suitable candidate to compete with you. At that time, Ama will take you to sign up with your grandpa, and we will also brush up with your grandpa. See Look at our children are all good."

Hong Xi and Hong Jin nodded with great fighting spirit, and followed Yin Reng to pick someone hand in hand.You all know the idea of ​​Yinyin coming out of the palace over there, everyone is aware of it, and it is unfolding one by one. Sanbeile Yinzhi here, except that he brought his son Hongqing, Hongsheng didn't bring him because he was only three years old, but Hongsheng grabbed Yinzhi's thigh and gathered his brother Hongqing to put pressure on Yinzhi, and finally Yinzhi agreed to take it to see if he could also participate in the competition.

The fifth elder brother Yinqi's place is much simpler. Only the five-year-old Hongsheng can take care of himself independently, and the rest are still in their infancy.Seventh elder brother Yinyou also brought four-year-old Hong Shu to Penglai Manor with a smile on his face early in the morning. A crippled prince like himself could not do much in Li Fan Yuan, so it was better to see the situation early.

Yinzhen's oldest child is the one-year-old Honghui, who has no right to compete.So Kangxi looked at the remaining sons and said: "You are also going to participate in the competition. Since your son is not good, then I will contribute my own son. Don't be polite to accept it, but after the competition, you still have to return the original. .”

Kangxi laohuai waved his big comforting hand and proudly contributed more than a dozen people. Yinxuan smiled and looked at his brother in front of him, "Hey, brother, I'm sorry to trouble you." Yinxiang and Yinzhen also looked at Yinxuan Ji and others, why are you so sad?Is it wrong to be young?Is there anything wrong with not having kids?But now it has become a product to be selected and anyone can pick it!

Yinzhen has the most eyes, so at such a time, it is natural to act early and pick the best one to win. It will save face. The ten brothers and sisters can say that they have already gathered people, and when the time comes, they will draw everyone's heroic scenes. Guaranteed to be exactly the same, as vivid and interesting as the comic strips for the fifteen or so.If he wins, he can get the whole book, which will be used by the brothers in the future, how interesting! "Come on, Yinxuan, let's be a pair of brothers, and we will definitely kill them all."

Yinzhen was stretched out and pulled by Yinzhen, and the two brothers hugged each other nicely, smiling like two idiots.Yinbi saw that this was not bad, and she wanted to win the game and get a gold cup, and the little colored glass figure was so good-looking. "Brother Thirteen, let's play with me. Brother Ten can't guarantee that he will win, but Brother Ten has the determination to win."

Yinxiang also nodded with his eyes shining, walked to Yinji's side and echoed, "Brother Ten is right, let's work hard together."Yinji's toothache was watching from the sidelines. These two people are better brothers than brothers.Rong Hui, who was watching the excitement from behind, held the handkerchief anxiously. Now that the two best helpers have been selected away, the remaining Yinzhen will definitely follow the fourth brother. Not bad.

I really want to hurry over and tell Yin Ji to quickly pull Yin Yu over. I didn't see that the old man is also going to participate in the competition. If he doesn't choose, only the old seventeen will be left.Yinzhen proudly looked at the fourth brother on the opposite side, and raised his chin, "This fourth brother is really slow, what's the ink? I'm his own younger brother. If you don't choose yourself, who will you choose!"

Yinzhen naturally knew what his younger brother was thinking, but it was rare at such a time, if he didn't see how he could see his younger brother's wonderful expression at the end. "Fourteenth brother, I wonder if my brother has the honor to invite you to a group?" Yinzhen said with slightly bent lips, looking at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen blushed and dawdled awkwardly, "Then I'll be with fourth brother, you have to work hard, other riding and shooting skills are not as good as tenth brother, and brains are not as good as I don't want you."

Yinzhen nodded with a smile, and took Yinzhen's little hand, "Fourth brother will work hard for the fourteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother can rest assured." Yinzhen happily smiled proudly at Yinxiang who was beside him, look, this Still my own brother.Yin Xiang also hugged Yin Qu in a demonstrative manner, mouthing, "Brother Ten is the most heroic, and he will definitely win."

Seeing that they had all been chosen, Yinji looked at the three little bean dings opposite him because no one had chosen him for a long time, smiled, stretched out his fair palm slightly and said, "I don't know if the starling has the opportunity to invite his cute younger brother to participate in the competition together? "

When Yinji handed out the palm, the three little guys hesitated, who will go among the three of us?The rest will be very sad.The corners of Yinyu's eyes were red, and he turned his head away from Yinji.Yinlu is the smartest, he pushes Yinli by his side, but he puts his hands behind his back, he is a good brother, how can he make his brother sad.

Yinyu also gave Yinlu a look worthy of being my own younger brother. Yinli is the youngest guy and the most innocent, but simplicity is not stupid, and the brothers know what they mean.Yinli looked at Yinji with wide eyes and said, "Is the starling really willing to be with me? I am the youngest, I run slowly, my physical strength is poor, and I am not smart. I won't win prizes if I team with me, myna." Don't care?"

Yin Ji smiled and bent down, "Mynah knows a word, as long as you play games with someone you like, you don't have to worry about whether you win or not."

Yin Li blushed and said with a chubby little face: "Mynah, do you mean you like me?" Yin Ji smiled and nodded, "You are all my younger brothers, so I naturally like you."

Yinli looked at Kangxi who was sitting on the top seat, "Huang Ama, if I am in a group with starlings, what will happen to brothers [-] and [-]? It's very pitiful not to be able to compete."

Kangxi laughed loudly, stroked his beard and said, "Okay, just go, your fifteenth brother and sixteenth brother are in the same group as Huang Ama." Yinyu and Yinlu turned their heads and looked at him with bright eyes. Kangxi, "Huang Ama, is what you said true?" Kangxi nodded, "I knew the distribution was not even. It was decided early in the morning, and I will take care of the rest."

Then Yinli cheered and ran into Yinji's arms, put his arms around Yinji's neck and kissed his face affectionately, "Brother, that's great." I didn't hear what Yinli said later.

But Yinzhen and the others heard it clearly, Yinzhen pulled Yinzhen around, and beat Kangxi's leg with a shy face, "Huang Ama, you see that you are a little tired with two alone, my son is not too tired , take the fifteenth brother to my son." Yinzhen also rubbed Kangxi's shoulders, "Huang Ama, the sixteenth brother is young and runs slowly, so let's take it to my son."

Kangxi knocked on him alone, "Now that you know how many people you have, it is better to have more sons in the future. Fifteen and sixteen will follow me. I will win this competition."

Yinyu looked at Qingwen with a bitter face, "Why did Qingqing even hide it from me? If I knew it earlier, I would have asked Fifteen and Thirteen to come here together. What is this food-related game like?"

Qingwen shook her head innocently, "This is the rule of the competition, so I can't say it now. Alright, brother Thirteen has a good memory. The two of you are a perfect match, and you will definitely fight against all sides."

Yinqi was dazed by Qingwen's praise, and held Yinxiang's hand to discuss the strategy.The queen mother and the women were talking on the other side of the screen, and Rong Hui was very happy now.My father is a lucky one, take a look, the one I picked not only participated in the planning, but also is a top foodie.

The queen mother looked at Bihua beside her and said, "How is the ice charcoal business between you and Qingqing? What do your sister-in-laws think?" Bihua sat up straight and said, "The business is surprisingly good. The key is that the cost is low. There are a lot of things on the East and West Mountains, and the weather is hot now, so I earned a lot of money. Originally, I discussed with my sisters-in-law whether to do it together, but the sister-in-laws were too embarrassed to intervene. They just said that they would send some ice cubes if they wanted to. .So the granddaughter-in-law made the decision, sending two truckloads of ice every half a month is considered a kind gesture."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, "Well, you have done a good job, and you have to get along like this for a long time. Qingqing can't hide anything in her heart, and she always thinks of you when she has good things. Since you have done business with Qingqing, and she is old You should help more when you are young. After all, it is related to yourself, and you should pay more attention. But you must also take care of your body, Ai’s family is still waiting to have a great-grandson.”

Since Bihua is the Empress Dowager who loves Qingwen, she doesn't care about it. Besides, the money is all her own money, and it is also the kindness of the ten younger siblings. Of course, she will manage it with care.It's just that Ronghui, who was a little quiet on the side, felt uncomfortable. Bihua also approached her at the time, but she felt that participating in business affairs was lowly, so she refused.

Now it seems that the queen mother actually agrees, and the nine younger siblings did not tell themselves that the queen mother supported this matter, so I have nothing to say now.Thinking of the good concubine in the palace again, looking at the imperial concubine and concubine Yi enviously, if her mother-in-law can be favored, she would not be alone if she came here together.

Concubine Yi has always been exquisite, "Look at the bustling we are talking about, but the eight blessings have been neglected. Come on, Rong Hui, your Erniang is not here, and Yierniang loves you. Look at Yierniang's clothes. ?”

Rong Hui looked carefully at Concubine Yi's clothes, but it turned out to be the clothes of the Han family, "Yi'eniang looks very good in this dress, as if she is a few years younger."

The imperial concubine chuckled, "You're talking about her heart. Since she put on this dress, she has been asking people every time. She is shameless."

Concubine Yi was complacent, "The clothes are good-looking, so is the person. My sister just envies my beauty, so I don't care about you."

The queen mother smiled and ate the cream bun, "You are all good-looking. The clothes of the Han people have a different style. Ai's clothes are also comfortable. Rong Hui, Qingqing prepared your clothes early in the morning. Tomorrow Put on your clothes too, let's go out to pick mushrooms. The emperor said that it will rain tonight, so we will have a good harvest tomorrow afternoon."

Rong Hui happily agreed, and then heard the Queen Mother say, "Oh, and, Yinji also planted an apple tree in the backyard, and it bore a lot of fruit. You go and have a look, and if you like it, you can pick it and eat it. Qingqing Said that we will make applesauce, apple cider and apple pie the day after tomorrow, all of which are delicious. There are a lot of these fruits, let’s try them all, and bring back the ones we like for a change.”

Over there, Qingwen came over, and when she heard what the queen mother said, she smiled and saluted, "Mama Huang is planning to order me again, I'm a tired man! Oh, mother, please see if I've lost weight some?"

The noble concubine pulled Qingwen to sit next to her lovingly, "You are a poor-mouthed girl, it is your honor that the Queen Mother can think of you, come quickly and tell the emperor they have something to do, what shall we do? Just watch?" Qing Wen waved her hand, "How can I be idle? We are referees, Er Niang, do you know how much power the referee has?"

The imperial concubine asked suspiciously: "Referee? What do you do?" The queen mother caught Qingwen's eyes and patted the back of the imperial concubine's hand with a smile, "Aijia is also a referee. What we say counts, and those who participate in the competition will listen to us."

Concubine Concubine Concubine Yi and Concubine Yi were happy, "This is a good relationship, even the emperor will listen to us at that time. Alas", Concubine Yi said happily next to the Queen Mother, "This is amazing, we usually listen to Lord Long Live, when will We can also be the masters of the Long Live Lord? But we are blessed by the Queen Mother."

The queen mother stuffed the peanut candy into her mouth, "This candy tastes good, you guys have a taste! Qingqing said that she will have to arrange a meal when the time comes, and the snacks and milk from the rest are ready, as well as herbal tea, this candy It’s not bad, Qingqing will add it when the time comes.” Qingwen nodded with a smile, took out a small notebook from somewhere and jotted it down.

The imperial concubine looked at the notebook in Qingwen's hand curiously, "This notebook is quite small, but this pen is the carbon pen you mentioned?" Qingwen gave the imperial concubine a homemade pencil, "This is a pencil, and the inside is made of carbon. core."

The imperial concubine picked it up and drew it a few times, but it was easy to use, but the posture of holding the pen was not used to it.Concubine Yi was impatient with these literati things, and pulled Rong Hui to talk.It really rained heavily at night, the queen mother packed up the next day and took a group of female generals to the mountain.

Qingwen took a step behind to pack her things, and a report came from outside, "Ten Fujin, there is a little flower girl outside." Qingwen was taken aback when she heard this, "You mean Xiaohua?" There are two little boys." Qingwen greeted her out of the door happily, this little flower is the little girl she met in Rongguo Mansion back then, they went home together, and they haven't seen each other for two or three years.

Zhao Xiaohua was dressed in a beige floral blouse and long skirt, with a double bun. Her complexion was ruddy and shiny. The two younger brothers beside her were also taller than her. They were very talented.When Zhao Xiaohua was waiting at the door, she told her younger brother over and over again, "Daquan, Erquan, you must be cautious when your sister comes out later. Forget everything before, we are just here to see Elder Brother Shi and Fujin Shi Yes, you are not allowed to say anything about your affection before."

Zhao Daquan and Zhao Erquan nodded quietly. Just looking at Zhuangzi in front of them, they knew that this so-called sister Qingwen was not something they could climb up to, and one must have a wink.Qingwen's bright yellow dress came out, and she saw the taller little flower at a glance, with a bright smile on her face, "But Xiaohua? Daquan and Erquan?

"Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly lowered her head to salute at the moment Qingwen appeared, and her eyes turned hot when she heard Qingwen's gentle voice. This sister is still so peaceful." Back to Shi Fujin, the little girl is Zhao Xiaohua. They are Minnv's younger brothers Zhao Daquan and Zhao Erquan. "

Qingwen waved Chen Xin and Chen Lan to help them up, "Since we're here, let's go in and talk." Xiao Hua obediently entered the door with her two younger brothers.Qingwen looked at Xiaohua with a very good look, and she was satisfied.This younger sister didn't think much about recognizing her back then, and it's the same now.People come all the way to see him, so he naturally wants to entertain them well. "Come on, Xiaohua, here are all our own people. Let my sister see, isn't it beautiful?"

Zhao Xiaohua was pulled by Qingwen to stand in front of her and looked at her carefully, "The longer she is, the better she looks. Sit down and have some snacks, Daquan and Erquan also sit down, let's talk."

Zhao Xiaohua thanked her younger brother politely, and sat on Qingwen's lower stool. Although Qingwen was modest, Xiaohua knew deeply that Qingwen was no longer the maid she used to be.At that time, I had the courage to stick to it to practice luck, but now I don't even dare to think about it.

"What's the matter today? We've been separated for so long, and my family has a lot of things to do, so I forgot about you. It's all my fault, but it's hard for you to still think about me." Xiao Hua said with red eyes: " Fujin, I am doing very well. Thanks to the one tael of silver given by Fujin, the family has started a business again, which is very good. My two younger brothers are going to school now, and this year Daquan will have a try."

Qingwen nodded knowingly, "That's good. I'm here today for Daquan's scientific examination?" Xiaohua nodded shyly, "That's exactly it. Fujin knows that there are no scholars in our family. Their studies are not what they are today. It’s just a major event like scientific research. There is only an old scholar in our village, but I can’t remember it. I just heard that Fujin’s family lives in this village, so I have a thick face Come and beg."

Qingwen looked at Xiaohua's humble smile, this was the oppression of the imperial power, but she was a little helpless.Fortunately, I have never owed anything, I just helped a little.This family is not bad, "It's okay, let's talk about our relationship. Are your ancestral homes in the capital?"

Xiaohua looked at Daquan beside her, and motioned for Daquan to speak.Daquan has been studying very seriously in the past few years, and he has a bookish air all over him, "Back to Fujin, our ancestral home is in Xiaoyangzhuang, the capital city. I have gone to the village chief and the yamen to check the household registration a few days ago, and it is true. "

Qingwen nodded, "Then this year, the emperor's additional examination for scholarly talents, did you take it in the capital?" Daquan nodded, "That's true, but I don't know anything about the situation in the examination room. Among the people I know I don’t know about these, and what I hear is unreliable, so I thought I could ask Fujin for help.”

Qingwen laughed, "I found the right person. Someone from my house went to this year's scientific examination, and I won two scholars. I will take part in the Juren examination in the spring of next year. I just sent People are calling, so please talk about it.” Daquan was very pleasantly surprised, and it was great to be able to communicate with the candidates who participated this year.
