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

The crown prince was restored, and Kangxi bestowed titles on all elder brothers. Overnight, it seemed as if spring blossoms and all the haze had dissipated. On the first day of restoration, the crown prince asked to visit the eldest elder brother who was in confinement. Kangxi felt very sad. It's joy, praising him for his brotherhood, and agreeing again and again.

The fourth master and the prince walked in front, and they didn't say much. Su Wen, Su Peisheng and many of the prince's guards also followed. The gate no longer had the majesty it used to have. The gate was tightly closed. Su Wen saw the signal from the eyes of the fourth master, and hurriedly stepped forward to push the door. The door seemed to be closed from the inside, so Su Wen slapped it vigorously. Soon someone opened the door, Su Wen looked at a guard who opened the door and said: "The crown prince and Prince Yong are here to visit Eldest Brother under the order of the emperor, and they still don't open the door!"

The guard hurriedly opened the door and knelt down to salute. The prince didn't care, and walked in directly. Su Wen looked at the yard that had been covered with grass in just a few months, and felt a little sour in his heart. The majestic prince of the Qing Dynasty The following days passed like this. After the prince and fourth master walked in, they saw the elder brother lying on the bed with disheveled hair.

Fourth Master waved his hand, and everyone retreated. Fourth Master looked around the room, and finally found a chair behind the door that was still ok to sit on, and hurriedly brought it over for the prince to sit down.

The prince looked at the indifferent elder brother and said, "Brother, I'm here to see you." However, the elder brother still didn't respond, the prince stood up and said, "What do you look like now, you don't want to live anymore? I was imprisoned I have never looked like you before, it is simply a disgrace to our Aixinjueluo family."

The elder brother opened his eyes and looked at the prince's decent appearance. He laughed, sat up and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit! You don't have to come to me to show off."

Fourth Master hurriedly said: "Brother, you misunderstood, the prince came to visit you when he came out this time."

The elder brother stood up and brushed his hair with his hands, but the hair seemed to be against him and entangled. Seeing this situation, the fourth master hurriedly called Su Wen in.

After Su Wen came in, seeing Fourth Master's instructions, he hurriedly picked up the comb and tidied it up for Elder Brother. Elder Brother seemed to enjoy it very much. The whole room became quiet, and even Su Wen didn't dare to make any more noise. He carefully combed the big brother's hair, and re-braided the big brother's hair into a ponytail, and then quietly left the room.

The prince said: "Actually, brother, there is no need to be depressed. Maybe in a few years, I will have the same fate as you. We can be companions at that time."

The elder brother smiled and said: "Haha, I have been working very hard since I was a child, what is not as good as you, the prince, I am the eldest son of Huang Ama, and I have followed Huang Ama on the battlefield very early I have made countless meritorious deeds. I always thought that as long as you don't become the prince, it will always be my turn. But I was too naive. Although I wanted to plot against you, I never wanted to use witchcraft. And the things you did before are all true, but the third child just fabricated it in front of Huang Ama casually, and Huang Ama easily believed it. I really hated it at that time, hated it The third brother's frame, I hate Huang Ama's ruthlessness even more."

Eldest Brother didn't seem to see Fourth Master's wink and continued: "I've really understood some things in the past few days since I was imprisoned, and the matter of the third child is just Huang Ama's plan. Ama has valued you as the prince from the beginning to the end, and I just lived in this scene before and didn't see it. Prince, just watch, none of you will end well, you These people are pawns to Huang Ama..."

"Brother, be careful, you must not say such rebellious words."

Eldest brother didn't say anything more, just smiled, the prince walked over and approached elder brother in a low voice, "I think, I saw the situation clearly earlier than you, do you think I, the restored crown prince, can stay on the seat How long? What attitude would you say Huang Ama would have if I became more serious than before? Brother, you should wait here for younger brother, we will be reunited soon."

The elder brother looked at the prince in surprise, as if he had known him again, then turned around and laughed, the prince left the house immediately, followed by the fourth master, and the fourth master said to the guarding guards: "Although the eldest elder brother has been imprisoned , but he is still the son of Huang Ama, do you understand what to do?" Su Peisheng hurriedly took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and stuffed them for them, and the guard knelt down to express that he understood.

After visiting the big brother, the thirteenth brother was finally released by Kangxi, and the fourth master looked at the thirteenth, who was no longer in high spirits, and said, "Tell me, what happened this time, why did Huang Ama behave like this?" to you?"

Elder Brother Thirteen smiled and said, "Fourth Brother, don't worry, haven't I come out now?"

The fourth master saw that he didn't seem to want to mention the past, so he had no choice but to keep the words in his heart. This time, Huang Ama divided the elder brothers, and even the fourteenth got a son, but the thirteenth is still only a son. It's just elder brother. Thinking of this, fourth master was also a little dissatisfied with Huang Ama's actions.

The fourth master's worries were dispelled after the thirteenth elder brother went out frequently with Kangxi. Although the thirteenth elder brother did not have a title, he still followed Kangxi. This situation made everyone confused, but there is one thing everyone It can be seen that Kangxi doesn't dote on the thirteenth elder brother very much now, and the fourteenth son is the most favored now.

================================================== ============================

After the crown prince was re-established, he acted more and more arrogantly, and even savagely attacked the eighth elder brother's subordinates. Kangxi didn't respond at all, and seemed to be happy with his success. At this time, the fourth master's behavior became more severe and ruthless, and he was even called As the 'Cold Face King', when the fourth master knew this nickname, there was no trace of anger on his face, as if he enjoyed the nickname very much.

After experiencing many turmoil, Su Wen and the others finally relaxed. Occasionally, they would switch shifts with Su Peisheng to take a rest. In short, they have lived a comfortable life recently.

Ever since Si Ye loved Buddhism, a small Buddhist hall was installed in Si Ye's mansion for Si Ye's use. This day, Si Ye went out of the Buddhist hall after chanting sutras as usual, and said, "How are you doing?"

Su Peisheng cleaned his hands while serving the fourth master and said: "The news from the servants is that Nalan Fusen has retired from the military camp because of Master Mingzhu's funeral. Gengyao seems to be very active in the capital, and a few days ago he even prepared a big gift to Baye Mansion."

"Hmph!" Fourth Master looked at Su Wen again, and Su Wen hurriedly said, "Back to master, according to master's instructions, the sticky pole has already gone to monitor the woman, but recent news said that the prince a few days ago Someone has been sent to secretly take the woman back to the capital, and she is now placed in a courtyard in the city."

At this moment, there was a noise from outside the study, Fourth Master frowned and said, "Su Wen go out and see what happened?"

Su Wen hurriedly walked out, only to see a maidservant entangled with the guards outside the study, Su Wen walked over and said, "What happened? Don't you know this is the master's study?"

The guard replied: "Grandpa Su, this maid said she was sent by Shu Fujin, but the little one stopped her, but she refused to let her go."

The maid was Meihong, a maid brought by Niu Hulu from home, she was considered a proud person, and she saw that Su Wen seemed to have made up her mind, so she stepped forward and said: "Go and tell Fourth Master about it." , our Shu Fujin was ill and passed out just now."

Su Wen took a few steps back, and inadvertently frowned, this Niu Hulu family is a time-traveling girl no matter what, why can't she even manage a maid well, so unruly, thinking of Niu Hulu's coma, she Turning around and walking towards the study, it couldn't be that this time-traveling girl wants to steal the idea of ​​other people's rice cakes...

"Master, outside is Shu Fu Jin's servant girl, who said that Shu Fu Jin fainted for some reason."

The fourth master patted the table and said: "Go and call the imperial doctor when you are fainted. What's the use of coming to tell the master. In the future, you don't have to report this kind of thing to the master. Just drag the person who informed you to beat him. You can't serve the master well." What do people still do with it!"

Su Wen sighed secretly, and hurriedly backed out. Thinking about it, the time-traveling girl did a good thing this time, at least she was vaccinated against Xiaonian Gao's method in advance.

"Hurry up and go back, the master said, if you faint, go directly to the imperial doctor."

Mei Hong wanted to argue, but seeing Su Wen's serious expression, she could only snort and leave.

The fourth master is in distress right now. Ever since he made up his mind to fight for the throne, he has started secret preparations. He thought it was pretty good, but since the event of the public election of the crown prince in 47, he only knew that the old man There are indeed a lot of people in his hands, but he doesn't have any ministers in his hands. Thinking of this, he can't help but feel distressed.

Not long after, Su Wen saw the servant girl coming from the inside of the room again, so he gave Su Peisheng a wink, exited the study, saw the joy on the servant girl's face, and asked, "Why are you here again?" What's the matter? Where did you learn the rules?"

Mei Hong didn't care but said proudly: "I was ordered to congratulate Fourth Master, our master is happy!"

Su Wen was shocked by this happy event. The Niu Hulu clan actually had a child, so this child should be Qianlong in history. My God, that prodigal son came as promised...

Su Wen hurriedly went into the study to announce the good news. The fourth master was also full of joy when he heard it. Now his house is still sparsely populated, but he was happy to have good news at this time, and hurriedly said: "Okay, let's go, follow the master to see look."

The fourth master got up and walked out of the study room. When he arrived at Funuanyuan, he saw Sifujin was there. Sifujin saw the fourth master and saluted, "Master, too, have you got the good news? When sister Niu Hulu passed out just now, My concubine went to invite the imperial physician, but I got such good news, I am here to congratulate my lord."

The fourth master helped Si Fujin up and said: "Thank you for your hard work. This Niu Hulu family is so ignorant that he made the servants yell at him because of a trivial matter. Since she is happy now, she will bother you more in the future." Fujin."

Sifujin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord, you just wait to add another elder brother..."

"Master is not good, something happened..." Before Si Fujin finished speaking, he heard the servant girl yelling and came to Fujin, Fujin said angrily: "Is there any more rules? Just make a big fuss about anything. ?”

The servant girl saw that the fourth master was busy calming down, and said: "My maidservant has seen the prince and Fujin."

The fourth master's complexion was already a little bad, Fujin hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, what made you so unruly?"

"My lord, Fujin, the second elder brother is not well..."

The fourth master was still immersed in the good news of having an heir just now, and now that the second elder brother is not well, the feelings in his heart are unspeakable, so he rushed to the Li family with the imperial physician from the Niu Hulu family In the yard, Su Wen turned his head and saw Niu Hulu who woke up with a happy face and was about to call him Fourth Master. He sympathized with her in his heart. When did you say you were happy? But at this time, how can Fourth Master care now? fuck her...

As soon as she walked into Li's yard, she heard Li's crying. When Li saw Fourth Master's arrival, her voice became even sharper. Fourth Master was disturbed by the crying, so he shouted: " All right, why are you crying, let the imperial doctor take a look." Although the fourth master was still stern on his lips, he was also worried in his heart. Hong Yun's health has not been very good since he was born, and he has been raising him all the time, that's all. Only when the fourth master cultivated Honghui strictly, but he showed rare fatherly love to Hongyun.

Almost all the imperial physicians were called here. From their looks, Su Wen felt that things were not good this time. Sure enough, when he heard the imperial physician's words, "Do your best and obey the destiny", Mrs. Li even stopped crying when she knew it. He stepped forward and hugged Hong Yun tightly and said: "No, my Hong Yun will be fine, he has been fine for so many years, how could something happen now, what you are saying now is a lie." When Mrs. Li said this, she turned her head to look at Si Ye again, and suddenly seemed to have found support, with a strange light in her eyes, she threw herself at Si Ye's feet, pulled at Si Ye's clothes and shouted: "Master, you Hurry up and save our Hongyun, they say Hongyun is hopeless, they are all liars, Lord, you are a prince, please save your son..."

Looking at this scene, Si Fujin hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, get up quickly, what do you look like now, don't you worry about it?"

Su Wen looked at Fourth Master who just closed his eyes and didn't say anything. Li Shi seemed to understand that Fourth Master was helpless, so he hugged Hong Yun and didn't say anything, but shed tears silently. In this situation, it is the first time to seriously look at Li Shi. In the eyes of Su Wen, Li Shi is just a woman who always competes with Fujin and loves to show off her favor with others. This woman who used many methods to compete for favor had a trace of disgust, but now Su Wen discovered that Li Shi is not only a woman, she is also a mother, who is helpless and helpless when her child is sick. Mother.

Hongshi is now six or seven years old, and he has understood many things. Seeing his brother lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and seeing his mother crying in his arms, he felt sad, and hurriedly pushed him away. The nanny beside her ran to Li Shi's side, wiped Li Shi's tears with her hands, and said, "Er Niang, don't cry, my son will wait for my brother obediently, and when my brother recovers from his illness, my son will return." I want my elder brother to take my son to learn how to ride a horse."

Mrs. Li's originally hopeless heart was also pulled back by Hongshi's childish words, and she hugged Hongshi in front of her and burst into tears. The fourth master walked to the bed, sat down, and stayed by Hongyun's bed Beside, on this day, the imperial physician could no longer prescribe a prescription, and Hong Hui rushed over after hearing the news. In the evening, Hong Yun suddenly woke up, and his complexion improved a lot. Except Li Shi, everyone's heart They all thought of 'return to the light', and Li happily helped Hong Yun up. Seeing that Ama, Er Niang, and younger brother were all there, Hong Yun smiled and said, "It's great, everyone is here."

Hong Hui didn't have much contact with Hong Yun before, because Ama was secretly jealous of Hong Yun's loving attitude, but now she felt sad, and Hong Shi said on the side: "Brother, you are awake , Er Niang and I were so worried, get well soon, and you promised to teach me how to ride a horse."

Hong Yun smiled and patted Hong Shi's head, Fourth Master hugged Hong Yun and said, "Is there anything else you want to say to Ama?"

Hong Yun looked up at the fourth master who had a rare soft expression and said, "Ama, my son feels so happy now, Ama, look at that..." Honghui pointed at the door, and everyone looked over. There was nothing at the door, only At night, Hong Hui smiled and said, "Ama, did you see the little white horse standing there? As expected, Ama did not break her promise and brought the little white horse to her son."

Everyone's faces were full of sadness, and even Sifujin, who had been at odds with Mrs. Li, shed tears when facing this situation. He touched Honghui beside him, but remembered Honghui's helplessness when he was seriously ill.

The fourth master said without changing his face: "Ama will not lie to Hongyun. Last time after Ama agreed, he sent someone to find it for you. It took a long time to find this little white horse. When you get better, ..." Before the fourth master finished speaking, he felt the stiff body of the child in his arms, took a deep breath, and continued: "When you recover, Ama will take you to ride a horse. Sometime, Ama will take you to ride and shoot again..." Fourth master's voice gradually sank, and Hong Yun in his arms finally closed his eyes and never woke up again.

Mrs. Li passed out on the spot, Si Ye's mansion changed overnight, everyone was quiet, even if they were doing things, they didn't dare to make loud noises, because Hong Yun was only 10 years old when he died, so he died prematurely. Therefore, there can be no funeral, no formal burial, erecting a monument and repairing the tomb, the fourth master specially engraved Hong Yun's name on the pillar of the temple, hoping that through the incense of the temple, Hong Yun can live better in another world.

This is the first time for Su Wen to see such a sad fourth master. In 45 years, when the third daughter of the Song family died, the fourth master was not so sad. At this time, Su Wen felt that the child was born not long ago. If the child died young, maybe the parents would not be very sad, but the child has grown up to more than ten years old, and the relationship with the parents is very close. When they can't leave, they die suddenly, which hits them more seriously. .

Li's spirit has deteriorated a lot since Hongyun's death, and he got better after seeing Hongshi. It's just that on the day Li learned of Hongyun's death, Niu Hulu's heart was full of joy. Being pierced with a deep thorn, Mrs. Li seemed to have pinned all her hatred and resentment on Mrs. Niu Hulu's stomach. Occasionally, when she saw Mrs. Niu Hulu's stomach puffed out, her eyes flickered with viciousness. There is a feeling of being enchanted...
