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

"Fourth brother, I'm back..."

Hearing such a loud voice, he knew that Brother Thirteen had come back. Su Wen hurriedly knelt down to salute. Brother Thirteen seemed to be in a very good mood. When he saw Su Wen, he also smiled and said, "Oh, it's a little mosquito." , get up, I haven't seen you for a while, but you've gained some weight again."

Su Wen was a little speechless when Elder Thirteen was obsessed with his figure. Fourth Master was very happy to see Elder Thirteen come back, but when he heard him say this again, he said with a sullen face: "Thirteen, you What does it look like to be yelling loudly..." Then he glanced at Su Wen and said, "Every time you come here, what do you say to the servant, it doesn't have to compromise your elder brother's identity."

"Fourth brother, I'm glad I just came back. Don't bother me anymore, or I'll just leave." Having said that, Brother Thirteen sat down on the chair and picked up the chair. Fourth Master took a few sips of the teacup in his hand indiscriminately.

The fourth master glared at Su Wen and said, "You son of a bitch, didn't you see your thirteenth master coming? What are you doing in a daze, serving tea..." Su Wen froze when he heard the fourth master's reprimand , hurriedly withdrew to serve tea.

Elder Brother Thirteen had already drank a cup of tea, and now he felt a little more relaxed. Hearing Fourth Master's sternness, he said, "Fourth Brother, your staring eyes are really scary. The slaves around you are not very easy to do." .”

Hearing this, Fourth Master felt uncomfortable, and said, "What do you mean? Are you just letting these slaves go?"

"Hey, fourth brother, my brother is joking with you, you are really angry." Seeing the cold face of fourth master, the thirteenth elder brother knew that he had touched a minefield. Seeing Su Wen holding a teacup He came and hurriedly said: "Little mosquito, hurry up and serve tea."

Su Wen didn't know what was going on, he just felt that he had only been out for a short while, why it was so cold in the room when he came back, thinking about it, he offered all the teacups.

The fourth master did not accept Elder Thirteen's explanation, but felt that he was even more panicked. His closest brother finally came back and talked to a slave first, and he reprimanded the ignorant slave. Thirteen He even refuted himself, thinking of this, fourth master became even more angry, so he turned to Su Wen and said, "Su Wen, how does Master treat you?"

Su Wen heard the coldness in Fourth Master's tone, and hurriedly replied: "The master is very kind to the slave, and the slave can't repay the master's kindness even if he dies."

The fourth master heard Su Wen's answer, nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at the thirteenth brother, the thirteenth brother smiled and said: "Good fourth brother, I apologize to you here, my brother misunderstood you, fourth brother , my brother finally came back, and the first one I saw was you."

The fourth master was satisfied, and the atmosphere in the room became better. Su Wen quietly stood in an inconspicuous position, and inadvertently saw the sympathy in Su Peisheng's eyes, and black lines hung on his forehead. What is it all about? ah……

"You just came back and didn't rest at home for a few days. What's the good thing about coming here so happily?" Fourth Master thought he knew Brother Thirteen very well, so he had this question.

The thirteenth elder brother put down the teacup and said: "Fourth brother, you don't know. When the prince and I went to visit the Yongding River with Huang Ama, the prince had an affair on the way. Huang Ama But Thunder is furious..."

The fourth master didn't pay much attention to the reason why the thirteenth elder brother was happy, but now that he heard that it was related to the prince, he couldn't help but sit upright and said: "What did the prince do to make Huang Ama so angry?"

"Actually, this matter is neither small nor big. Since Suo'etu was ordered to die by Huang Ama last year, the prince has been depressed. This time he accompanied Huang Ama to visit the Yongding River. Although the prince and Huang Ama are still laughing and walking together, but they are far away from Huang Ama in their eyes. I think Huang Ama has also seen it, so they plan to let the prince go out for a play, so as to relieve his emotions, but who would know the prince? When I went out to play, something happened."

Elder Brother Thirteen intentionally paused, drank a few sips of tea, and seeing Fourth Master staring at him, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Prince may have been suppressed for too long because of the Suo'etu matter, and he became unrestrained when he was playing." Some, in the past few days, they actually met and got entangled with a woman. This woman is also a daughter of the poet and book family of the Han family. After Huang Ama found out about this, she ordered someone to deliver medicine to the woman, brought the prince back, and left in a hurry."

Hearing this, the fourth master patted the table with his finger, and said: "This woman comes from a family of poets and scholars, but she really has no sense of shame. Although the prince's move is a bit bad, Huang Ama should bring the woman back or give her to death." Ah, isn’t it a disaster to leave that woman like this?”

"Fourth brother, you don't know. Many people already know about the crown prince, but that woman doesn't seem to know the identity of the crown prince. If she is killed rashly, wouldn't that expose her identity? Our royal family But I can't afford to lose that person, and it's even more impossible to bring that woman back. Although Huang Ama was angry with the prince's actions, she still stood on the prince's side, so she believed that the prince's actions were all from the prince. She was seduced by a woman, and since the woman is Han, Huang Ama could not have agreed, so Huang Ama sent someone to give the woman sterilization medicine, and then left."

The fourth master shook his head and said: "Huang Ama is still too kind. There will still be many problems if this kind of thing ends like this, but it is still feasible to give medicine. It seems that Huang Ama still loves the prince in every possible way." ah."

"That is, when Suo'etu had an accident last year, didn't the elder brother and the starlings all get active? Everyone was waiting to see the prince's good show, but Huang Ama didn't punish the prince in any way, and he still loved him later. Plus, other brethren will definitely get the news about this incident, hehe, there is something to watch..."

The fourth master was also a little helpless with the words of the thirteenth elder brother. This thirteenth elder brother is now one of the emperor's most beloved sons, so he still has some troubles with the crown prince.

The thirteenth elder brother seemed to have thought of something again, stood up and said, "Fourth brother, let's go for a walk with my younger brother, isn't it your birthday in a few days? My younger brother is too poor to let go of the pot, so I invite you today How about going out for a meal as my younger brother's birthday gift?"

So, the group of them left Si Ye's mansion. Although the weather was cold in winter, there were still many people on the street. Su Wen looked at the stalls selling wontons on the road, and felt a little greedy. In such cold weather, buying Serving a bowl of hot wontons is an incomparable enjoyment when you are sweating profusely...

Elder Brother Thirteen took them to a private room in a restaurant. As soon as they entered, they saw that the table was just full of food. It could be seen that Elder Thirteen had already prepared it, so Fourth Master sat down with Elder Thirteen , the fourth master said: "Su Wen, go down to the shopkeeper and bring up a jug of good wine."

"Yes, yes, the bamboo leaf green wine here is famous far and wide, but I forgot about it, so hurry up and get it."

Su Wen hurriedly left the private room and went downstairs to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was a man in his 40s, with a shrewd look in his eyes. The shopkeeper also knew that Brother Thirteen was an extraordinary person. When they got upstairs, they dealt with it even more carefully. Now when they saw Su Wen coming down, he hurriedly smiled and said, "What orders do you have, my lord?"

Su Wen then said: "Our master wants a pot of bamboo leaf green wine from your place. Remember, we want the best from your place."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, just wait a moment, the little one will go and pick it up."

While he was waiting, he heard a voice saying, "Isn't this Eunuch Su?"

Su Wen hurriedly turned around and saw Nalan Fusen and a man. The reason why Nalan Fusen could remember Su Wen was because Su Wen and Su Peisheng were by Siye's side when he met Fourth Master before. As a time traveler, I was lucky to become everyone's son. Because I knew the future direction, I approached the fourth elder brother in every possible way, so I also paid attention to the servants who served the fourth elder brother.

Su Wen hurriedly saluted and said, "Little Su Wen greets Mr. Nalan." While speaking, he looked at the man beside Nalan Fusen, and Nalan Fusen hurriedly introduced, "This is Mr. Nian Gengyao Nian. "

When Su Wen heard that he was a famous person in history, he hurriedly saluted respectfully. Nian Gengyao was a little impatient. He just felt that Nalan Fusen's eyelids were too shallow. What a small slave should come here to greet him specially. So the attitude towards Su Wen is also obviously arrogant.

Nalan Fusen was a little embarrassed, but Su Wen didn't pay much attention to it. He has completely accepted his identity now. As a slave, he really didn't expect others to treat him with courtesy.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over with the wine and said: "The little one brought the wine, please take it."

Su Wen took the wine and said: "Mr. Nalan, Mr. Nian, the master is still waiting up there. The younger one will leave now."

Before Su Wen could leave, when Nalan Fusen heard this, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes and said, "Grandpa Su, since Brother Xia and Nian know that the fourth master is here, it is not easy to leave like this, so please greet the fourth master." Bar."

Nian Gengyao had some doubts when he heard the fourth master in Nalan Fusen's words, but seeing how solemn Nalan Fusen was, he didn't say much. The fourth master said: "Master, this servant just met Mr. Nalan and Mr. Nian Gengyao Nian when he was fetching wine below. Mr. Nalan is outside the door now, and wants to greet the master."

The thirteenth elder brother took the wine, and said indifferently: "Oh, this kid Fu Sen is here too, let them come in." Su Wen looked at the fourth master, and waited until the fourth master nodded before going out to invite them Come in.

"Slaves send greetings to the fourth master and the thirteenth master..." Nian Gengyao was not a stupid person. After Nalan Fusen's guidance, he also understood their identities, so he respectfully followed Nalan Fusen to salute.

The thirteenth elder brother poured wine for the fourth master, and said, "Get up, Fu Sen, you guys haven't seen each other for a long time, come and have a drink with the master."

Nalan Fusen still had inexplicable awe of Fourth Master, the future emperor, so he glanced at Fourth Master first, and after obtaining Fourth Master's approval, he sat down with Nian Gengyao and said, "Since Thirteenth Master is so interested , then the slave will risk his life to accompany the gentleman."

"Okay, he's a man, do it!", Brother Thirteen drank a glass of wine with Nalan Fusen while Nian Gengyao was sitting aside, but he was a little uneasy. Although he is not a big or small official now , but it was also the first time seeing fourth master and thirteenth elder brother. I was nervous but also a little excited.

The fourth master didn't care about Elder Brother Thirteen and Nalan Fusen, but said to Nian Gengyao, "You are the second son of Nian Xialing, Nian Gengyao, right? How is your father doing now?"

Nian Gengyao didn't think too much about Fourth Master knowing him, so he just said respectfully, "Fourth Master Lao is concerned. The slave's father has returned to the capital to retire some time ago, and he is still in good health."

Brother Thirteen also slowed down after drinking a few glasses of wine, and said, "Fu Sen, you have been enjoying yourself recently. I heard that you have been promoted again?"

Nalan Fusen said with a smile: "Master Lao Shisan is thinking about it. The slave is just a small leader now, and he can't do anything, but the brother Nian next to the slave is terrible. Brother Nian is now under review by the Imperial Academy."

The thirteenth elder brother pretended to be surprised and said to Nian Gengyao: "Oh, the Imperial Academy? Yes, it is said that the Imperial Academy is a 'place where jade halls look clear'. If you can serve as a leader in it, it seems that your own ability is pretty good.”

Nian Gengyao said hastily: "You shouldn't be the thirteenth master saying that, the slave is just a fluke, just a fluke."

"You don't want to say these modest words in front of the master. The master likes straightforward people the most. You kid will learn more from Fusen in the future. Fusen is too thick-skinned."

Nalan Fusen replied solemnly: "The slave thanked Lord Thirteen for his compliment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the thirteenth elder brother was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, and the fourth master also smiled, looked at Nalan Fusen and said: "You are still doing very well in the guard camp, it seems that you are Going to go to war."

Nalan Fusen was very respectful when facing the fourth master, and said: "I have loved the art of war since I was a child, and if I really want to go to the battlefield in the future, I will do my part."

"Oh? What about Nian Gengyao? You two are so nice, don't you have the same idea?"

Nian Gengyao said: "Slaves also like to ride and shoot. A real man should be famous on the battlefield!"

Elder Brother Thirteen smiled and said, "I see, the two of you are a good partner. From now on, Fu Sen will gallop on the battlefield. It will be good for Nian Gengyao to deal with Fu Sen's rear."

The fourth master nodded when he heard this. Nalan Fusen saw this scene and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth without refuting.

Because of the arrival of Nalan Fusen and Nian Gengyao, the atmosphere of the meal was even more lively. Su Wen looked at Nalan Fusen who was drinking with the thirteenth brother, and had to admire the power of this man. For a while, Elder Thirteen's attitude towards Nalan Fusen became closer than before, and Fourth Master looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

As for Nian Gengyao, Su Wen feels that Nian Gengyao is still far from growing up, at least he is more reserved when facing Fourth Master...
