A Chronicle of the Growth of the General Manager in the Qing Dynasty

Because they met Ling Zhu by chance, they stayed for a while longer. Su Wen's mind is now full of things about the time traveler, and he didn't hear their conversation. He has been quietly looking at Ling Zhu's daughter. The beautiful type, but not as mediocre as the history says, um~ the skin is very good...

He just took a few more glances, and although he had doubts in his heart, he was not sure. After returning to the mansion with Fourth Master, he first took the colored papers and walked to Fujin's yard.

When they entered, Si Fujin was talking to Hong Hui on the couch, Su Wen saluted and said: "I have seen Fujin and elder brother, Fujin is auspicious, and elder brother is auspicious."

Because Su Wen saved Honghui, Sifujin looked very gentle, and asked, "Get up, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Go back to Fujin. Today, when the son and the thirteenth master went out, they brought back some interesting things, and ordered the slaves to bring them to Fujin."

Si Fujin was very happy when he heard this, and asked Ru Lan to bring it over. Honghui, who was on the other side, became uneasy, and poked his head over to study with Si Fujin.

After all, Honghui was a boy, and he was only curious about these things for a while, but he didn't like them anymore, so he turned his head and looked at Su Wen, and said, "Why haven't I seen you before, you are serving by Ama's side. Is it?"

Su Wen lowered his head and replied: "Brother, the servant was transferred to serve the master recently, so the elder brother has never seen it."

Si Fujin smiled and said: "This servant was the one who saved you when you were sick last time, so he was transferred back to your Ama to serve you."

Honghui is now eight years old, and as the son of the fourth master's mansion, he has already been enlightened early, and he is still deeply impressed by his illness some time ago. Hearing what his mother-in-law said, he became gentle with Su Wen. Said: "So that's how it is. Since you have been serving Ama, you must work hard and don't slack off!"

Su Wen hurriedly responded, feeling a little funny in his heart, this child who was only eight years old was trained by the fourth master like a little old man, with big eyes and bulging cheeks, obviously very The cute little Mrs. Zheng wanted to imitate Fourth Master's bitter and bitter expression, which really gave Su Wen a stomachache.

Out of Fujin's room, when he was about to leave the yard, he met Chen Pi. Chen Pi put it as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "The miscellaneous family here congratulates Mr. Su on his promotion, and I need to take care of him in the future."

Su Wen had already passed the impulsive age, and replied with a smile: "Looking at what Eunuch Chen said, you are now a celebrity around Sifujin, and I still have to learn a lot from you."

The two smiled at each other, but the meanings in their eyes were different. Finally, Chen Pi said: "Then Eunuch Su, please walk slowly, or you won't be able to walk when it gets dark. The miscellaneous family still has important things to do."

Su Wen replied: "Eunuch Chen, walk slowly, the younger one has grown a lot now, and he can still walk steadily when it is dark."

Every time Su Wen thinks of Chen Pi, he grits his teeth, but he has no choice but to smile. He hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, and this Chen Pi is still someone trusted by Si Ye and Si Fujin, everything is still undecided...

Back in the study, Brother Thirteen asked, "Fourth Brother, what do you think of this Ling Zhu?".

The fourth master held a book he bought in the shop and said: "This Ling Zhu is just average. He has no strengths other than a little bit of character. It's hard to believe that all those things came from this Ling Zhu."

"Well, I think there should be an expert behind this Lingzhu. Although the things he presented to Huang Ama are ordinary small items, they are all very useful, but they are not very eye-catching. And Huang Ama is also very happy, rare and rare."

The fourth master put down the book in his hand and said: "Huang Ama doesn't value these things, but this Ling Zhu's character. This Ling Zhu never associates with us elder brothers. He only focuses on doing things. The most important thing is Yes, these things that Ling Zhu Jin offered were all dedicated to Huang Ama in private, how can Huang Ama not accept such kindness, and it is only natural that he should be valued by him."

"That's right, it doesn't matter that much." Elder Brother Thirteen got up and said, "Hey, by the way, Fourth Brother will come to my house in a few days, my little Gege is going to be one year old, and it won't be a big deal." , just a few of us have a better get together."

"Alright, I remember."

After the thirteenth elder brother left, the fourth master said, "Su Peisheng, send someone to check this Niu Hulu Lingzhu and see if there is anything unusual about it."

"Yes."

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

Su Peisheng asked, "Are you all ready?"

Su Wen looked at the list and said, "It's ready, nothing is missing."

"Well, that's good, let's go, let's wait for the master to get up, by the way, bring the new clothes of the master, today we are going to attend the banquet of the thirteenth master, so we should be more festive."

Su Wen turned around and went to get new clothes. When he returned to Fourth Master's room, Fourth Master was washing in his middle clothes. Su Wen waited for Fourth Master to wash, and hurriedly opened the clothes to wait for Fourth Master to get dressed.

Su Wen's current height is actually not too tall, just over 1.7 meters, and Fourth Master is taller than him, so he still has to weigh his feet when dressing, and then goes to Fourth Master to straighten his clothes and button them. The button was on the neck, Su Wen weighed his feet, Fourth Master suddenly lowered his head, and the two of them got closer, Su Wen who was so close could even feel Fourth Master's breathing, and was dazed for a moment, Busily fastened it for Fourth Master, and then stood still not far away, Fourth Master didn't pay attention to this at all, just raised his foot and walked out, Su Wen patted his face, and hurriedly followed.

"Haha, fourth brother, you are here, come in quickly."

The fourth master looked at it and said, "Why are you so deserted?"

Elder Brother Thirteen smiled and said: "It's just the birthday ceremony, we brothers and a few people we know well can just get together, there is no need for other brothers." While walking, he whispered: "It's nothing important today. People, but this Nalan Fusen is here, fourth brother will meet him later."

Fourth Master nodded, and only after entering the hall did he realize that the birthday party was indeed just an excuse. There were not many people in it, and most of them were people who were on good terms with Brother Thirteen, but they were all without real power, and they were idle people, so Don't worry about being suspicious by the emperor.

It may be that the deterrent effect of the fourth master's arrival was too great, and everyone didn't dare to be too presumptuous. They just drank some wine and it ended hastily. Thirteenth elder brother brought a young man over and said: "Fourth brother, this It is Nalan Fusen."

Nalan Fusen hurriedly saluted and said: "The slave Nalan Fusen has seen Sibaile, Sibaile is auspicious."

The fourth master said: "Come on, it's good to hear from Thirteenth Brother that you are famous."

Nalan Fusen said with a smile: "Master Shisan was joking. The slave didn't like poetry and songs since he was a child. He only liked riding and shooting. For this reason, he has been taught many times by the second brother."

"Oh? Riding and archery? It seems that you and the thirteenth brother like it the same."

Elder Brother Thirteen took a sip of tea and said, "That's right, don't you kid Fusen, he is quite well-known in the guard barracks, last time the two of us had a competition, and it turned out that this kid didn't It’s not a disadvantage, it’s a tie with me.”

Nalan Fusen cupped his hands and said, "The Thirteenth Master is too modest, and it's the Thirteenth Master who gave way to his slaves."

The fourth master asked: "I understand Shisan's temperament, and you won't speak big words. Since you like riding and shooting, you should have read some art of war?"

When Su Wen heard this, he looked at Nalan Fusen. He remembered that when the fourth master sent someone to investigate this person, some of the information that Nalan Fusen wrote down included the art of war. It was summed up in that era, but since it was written by him, these things belong to him in this era.

Hearing the fourth master's question, Nalan Fusen knew in his heart that his opportunity had come, so he said: "I have loved the art of war since I was a child, especially the "Surrender without fighting" in "Sun Tzu's Art of War". A soldier is a good soldier, and a good man is a good man', these words have benefited the slaves a lot."

"Well, this is the strategy in Sun Tzu's Conspiracy Chapter, which means that the battle should be commanded with the belief of complete victory, and the highest state of military use is to subdue the enemy without fighting."

"What the fourth master said is exactly what the slaves feel that if they have to fight as a last resort, they should determine the best plan based on the overall strength of the enemy and our troops, equipment, etc., and achieve close cooperation between the monarch and his ministers, unity of powers and responsibilities, and the unity of the soldiers to strive for the greatest strength. odds."

The fourth master heard this and said with appreciation in his eyes: "Not bad, it seems that Nalan Rongruo has a good son. How is your Mafa Mingzhu?"

"Mafa was ordered to help the refugees in Shandong and Henan with the minister Amida some time ago, and the slaves are also worried now."

"There is no need to worry too much. Since Huang Ama sent Mingzhu, it also represents trust in him."

The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly said: "The fourth brother is right, you don't talk here anymore, let's drink some more bars, we haven't enjoyed ourselves yet."

So several people let go of their thoughts and started drinking. Su Wen looked at Nalan Fusen who was drinking beside Brother Thirteen, secretly admiring him. Although this man dressed as Mingzhu's grandson, he was a He really has some skills, and he was able to gain the trust of the thirteenth elder brother so quickly, and introduced him to the fourth master, which shows how powerful he is, and the question about the art of war that the fourth master asked him today was also very good. Because of modern people, the summary is very good, but it does reflect some of the skills of this time traveler. Looking at the expression of the fourth master, he seems to be quite appreciative. It seems that this time traveler has already made a small step. .

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

After the banquet was over, it was already very late, Fourth Master went to the study first, drank hot tea, and asked, "How's the investigation going these days?"

Su Peisheng said: "After the master gave the order, the servant ordered people to investigate. This Ling Zhu had always been unknown before, but in private, he was rich in wealth. Some time ago, the master and the thirteenth master visited the famous house. The shop in the capital city was opened by a servant of Ling Zhu's family. Although it is under the name of the servant, it is the property of this Ling Zhu family. According to the investigation of the servants, the things that Ling Zhujin dedicated to the emperor seem to be It was made by Ling Zhu's daughter."

The fourth master was a little surprised when he heard this. After talking with Ling Zhu, he knew that Ling Zhu was just a vulgar person who was loyal to the emperor, and he didn't have much to do. The person turned out to be only his daughter.

"Is this news sure?"

"The slave is sure. It is said that there was an omen when Master Ling Zhu's daughter was born, saying that there was a kind of fragrance in the mansion at that time. Later, this news was blocked by Ling Zhu. His daughter was extremely smart after birth. Familiar with poetry and books, it also helped Lord Ling Zhu to lay down those financial resources secretly. Although Ling Zhu's daughter has done many strange and useful things, she has always acted in a low-key manner and never left anything among the princesses in the capital. Cai Ming, it is said that the reason why Ling Zhu presented these things to the emperor this time is to hope that his daughter can be exempted from the election, but in the end the emperor still did not agree."

Fourth Master stood up and walked back and forth, thinking in his heart. Although he was a little surprised by the result, he still believed in the ability of his subordinates. It seems that Ling Zhu's daughter is useful. The draft, um, is an opportunity...

And Su Wen next to him can already confirm that Niu Hulu is a time traveler, it's really interesting to think about it, he turned out to be the mother-in-law of the little pliers, Sisi's little wife.The mother of this little pincer is the sieve in all Qingchuan novels, almost every traverser is dressed as her, and this traverser probably does not want to marry the fourth master, that's why Ling Zhu acted like this, It's just that she was too naive, and in the end it was self-defeating. If she hadn't asked Ling Zhu to donate things to Kangxi, the fourth master would not have paid attention to their family at all. Then, if she finds someone to operate a little bit in her family, maybe it will be true. It is possible to drop the sign halfway, but she may have thought too much because of the time traveler, and it has become the current situation instead.

Seeing Si Ye's thoughtful expression, Su Wen knew that Niu Hulu would definitely marry Si Ye in the end, regardless of whether Si Ye wanted her because Ling Zhu was loved by Kangxi, or because Niu Hulu had Because of his special talent, in short, this traverser can be regarded as having put himself into the fourth master's mansion...

The author has something to say: We said that the time-traveling girl will still marry Sisi...

small theater:

Author: Su Wen~~Why are you blushing?

Su Wen: When we were dressing Sisi just now, we almost had intimate contact with him~~

Author: Isn't it worthless to kiss? As for being so worthless?

Su Wen: It's not all your fault, you just won't let me kiss you at such a short distance, it's too bad~~

Author: Ambiguous, what is ambiguous, it's boring after kissing, we just like to be so appetizing, wow...

Su Wen: ...
