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

The death of Hong Yun caused Prince Yong's Mansion to be in mourning for a while. Of course, only Mrs. Li and Fourth Master were the ones who mourned. Put it on politics.Not long after that, there was also good news from the Geng family. The arrival of this good news also made Prince Yong's mansion sweep away from the previous depression, and even the fourth master showed a slight smile.

After the court that day, Fourth Master went to the Yonghe Palace to greet Concubine De as usual. After the mother and son finished their usual greetings, they fell silent. Just as Fourth Master was about to get up to leave, Concubine De said: "The elder brother is under confinement now, and your fourteenth brother is also going to work in the Ministry of War. As an older brother, you need to support him a lot."

The fourth master bowed his head and said: "Emiang, don't worry, the fourteenth brother has always done a good job, besides, he has the eighth brother to take care of him, so nothing will go wrong."

Concubine De heard this and looked at Fourth Master's face carefully, and found that there was nothing unusual before she said: "You also know that the fourteenth is still young and can't tell right from wrong. Sometimes, if you don't pay attention He was led away by others, like the year before last, didn't he get beaten twenty times by your Huang Ama for the sake of the eighth? You are brothers, and when you have time, you should persuade him more. From now on, it’s better for brothers to support each other in everything.”

The fourth master had no choice but to agree, and Concubine De's complexion improved a lot. After Su Wen followed Fourth Master out of the Yonghe Palace, he was wondering what the purpose of Concubine De's words was. He is partial to the fourteenth elder brother, always thinking of giving all the good things to the fourteenth elder brother, but he is a little indifferent to the fourth master, and on the other hand, he doesn't seem to want the fourteenth elder brother and the eighth elder brother to be involved Together, instead of matching fourth master and fourteenth elder brother, I really don't understand.

In October, Si Ye couldn't hold on any longer, and together with other officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs reported the Jiangnan deficit. Kangxi also understood that the 50 taels of Jiangnan's deficit was due to his several southern tours, and he was reckless. Huo Zhi, Kangxi seemed to feel a little lost face, so he summoned the fourth master alone, and asked their household department to list clearly the amount spent on the southern tour, but now Kangxi has obviously started his "benevolent" measures, They didn't strictly investigate and deal with those people. As for Fourth Master's proposal to use those people's salaries and silver deductions to slowly make up for the shortfall, Kangxi rejected it with the statement that "the people will be tired".

After the fourth master came out, the expression on his face was very bad. Thinking of the dwindling national treasury and the carelessness of the corrupt people, he became even more angry, so he turned and walked towards Yuqing Palace. The fourth master planned to discuss with the prince, hoping to get the prince's favor. support.

In the past, based on the relationship between the fourth master and the prince, once he entered Yuqing Palace, he would see the prince soon, but today he did not know why, the prince did not come out for a long time, and the fourth master was even more anxious, Su Wen looked at The eunuch who was trembling and anxious standing beside Fourth Master felt extremely sympathetic.

After a while, the fourth master became impatient, put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "What is the prince doing now? Why hasn't he come out yet? Have you notified me, you slave?!"

The little eunuch said falteringly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in... the inner room... I have something to do..."

The fourth master didn't hear the second half of the little eunuch's words at all. He only heard that the prince was in the room, so he got up and entered. Doing discordant sports in the inner room, if the fourth master breaks in, it will be troublesome.

Su Peisheng reacted faster than Su Wen, he followed the fourth master in a few steps, intending to stop him, but he stopped halfway, the fourth master stopped by himself, Su Wen approached the fourth master out of breath, a little confused, at this moment, I heard laughter coming from the inner room...

"Come here, come here quickly and let me kiss you again, hurry up..."

"Prince, you are so bad, don't push me, oh, please slow down..."

"I say no, but in my heart, I still want it, right? Xu'er is really dishonest, she should be punished!"

"Prince, Prince Yong is waiting for you in the front room, look..."

"Go away, don't you see that Grandpa is busy now? Let him wait outside first, come on, Xu'er, let's continue..."

"Prince, ah... you should be gentle... my family hurts so much..."

"Okay, okay, please be gentle..."

……

Hearing the discordant voices in the room, Su Wen and Su Peisheng glanced at each other, the eyes of both of them flashed with fear, because the voice of this person named Xu Er was obviously not a woman, but an eunuch! ! !

Fourth Master turned around and left Yuqing Palace. There was a strong murderous aura around his body. It was the first time for Su Wen and Su Peisheng to feel the murderous aura around Fourth Master so strongly. They both quietly took two steps away from Fourth Master. Followed silently.

After returning to Prince Yong's Mansion, Su Peisheng quickly fetched water to serve Fourth Master to clean his hands. Su Wen picked up the regular clothes and served Fourth Master to change into court clothes. When Su Wen was unbuttoning Fourth Master in the usual way, four Grandpa seemed to be startled, and pushed Su Wen. Su Wen took a few steps back and didn't know what was going on. Fourth Master also seemed to realize that something was wrong, coughed and said: "Pass the clothes to Grandpa, Grandpa himself Come on, you guys go out first!"

Su Peisheng glanced at Su Wen, and the two walked out. Su Wen thought for a long time, but he still didn't understand. Su Peisheng pointed in the direction of the palace, and Su Wen immediately thought of the person he met in Yuqing Palace today. In one scene, I also understood the reason why the fourth master suddenly became so abnormal, but I just felt that the fourth master's psychological quality was still too weak, and he just saw the ancient version of "male love". As for the fuss?

After a long time, Fourth Master came out. In the study this day, Fourth Master still seemed to have something wrong. When looking at the booklet, he would occasionally raise his head to look at Su Peisheng and Su Wen. People are uneasy, Su Peisheng and Su Wen have been stimulated by the fourth master's eyes all day long, fearing that the fourth master will use innocent people like them to vent their anger, but fortunately, the fourth master still has the strong psychological quality of an emperor, It returned to normal the next day, and even Su Wen waited on him to change his clothes without stopping him. In his heart, Su Wen felt admiration for Fourth Master for accepting the appearance of "male love" so quickly...

Since the fourth master accidentally found out about the prince's behavior in Yuqing Palace, he was still a little entangled, and also reduced the number of times he went to Yuqing Palace. When he met the prince a few times, he also avoided the ground, while Su Wen was behind the fourth master. It was because he took a few glances at the prince quietly, and always felt that the prince had become too much now, and he didn't have the same temperament as before. Even the fourth master began to suspect the reason why the prince deliberately ruined his reputation so much.

Following the announcement of the prince's "Romance Between Men and Men", everyone in the palace was surprised and at the same time waiting to see the prince's good show, but in the end, everyone was disappointed. The degree of acceptance is obviously higher than that of the fourth master by more than one grade. Kangxi just raised the crown prince a little bit, but did not punish him. The crown prince also obeyed Kangxi's words and transferred this "male love" to the underground, and Kangxi opened his eyes. With one eye closed, this result was unexpected by everyone.

Just when the fourth master also believed that Kangxi was doting on the prince, Wu Sidao said: "Master, does the emperor really dote on the prince by treating him like this? Isn't he letting the prince's behavior go? Master, the prince has lost his sacred heart now." ", the fourth master savored it carefully for a long time, and had to admit that what Wu Sidao said was also reasonable.

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

The New Year of Kangxi's 49th year is coming soon, this year's keeping the year old, according to the usual practice, is still together, because the next morning will go to the palace to celebrate, so this night, the fourth master is considered early Just eat New Year's Eve dinner with everyone.

Sifujin picked up the wine glass and said, "Come on, let's have a drink together, and wish you all the best in the new year!"

The rest of the people also picked up their wine glasses. Fourth Master was still in a good mood, and drank the glass of wine with a smile on his lips. Su Peisheng hurriedly picked up the jug and poured Fourth Master a glass. Su Wen stood aside a bit Boring, usually Su Peisheng does the job of serving fourth master to eat. Even though Su Wen has made a lot of progress, he is still not as careful and considerate as Su Peisheng, and fourth master is used to Su Peisheng.

Si Fujin smiled and said: "Tomorrow, when I enter the palace, I will pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and Er Niang, sir, which sister will I bring with me as a concubine?"

The fourth master glanced at everyone and said: "When you enter the palace tomorrow, you can just bring Mrs. Li and Mrs. Niu Hulu in. The rest are not qualified."

Si Fujin paused holding the chopsticks, glanced at Niu Hulu from the corner of the eye, and said, "The concubine will follow my master's orders."

Since Hongyun's death, Li's desire to compete for favor is still a little less than before, but for Hongshi's sake, she still insisted on it, and said with a smile: "Thank you Fujin, thank you, my servant."

Niu Hulu also felt a little more comfortable. Ever since she changed her mind and successfully won the favor through the merits of serving the sick, she has understood a lot of truths. In this era and in this position, it is impossible not to fight for favor, let alone She still has a child now, thinking of this, she was filled with joy. At that time, after she passed out, she even had a sense of relief that she might return to modern times, but she woke up and knew that she was pregnant. When the fourth master was in love, she still had a little sweetness in her heart. After all, every woman hopes to share it with her man when she is pregnant. children get the attention they deserve.

It's just that before she called fourth master to stop, he left. It was only later that I learned that Hong Yun died young. Niu Hulu silently calculated in his heart that it seemed that Hong Hui was the only one who escaped that day. One survived the catastrophe, and nothing else changed. It seems that what happened to Honghui was just a small "butterfly effect" brought about by her transmigration, so what I had in my stomach must be the future Qianlong. Niu Hulu secretly clenched his fists for Qianlong, a prodigal son, and must educate him well. She did not believe that Qianlong educated as a modern person would still be a prodigal son in history...

"My servant, thank you Fujin for your advice." Because Niu Hulu was pregnant, he just picked up the tea beside him and smiled at Fourth Master, "Thank you for your advice."

Niu Hulu didn't notice the stern light in Li's eyes, while Si Fujin smiled and said: "This Geng is also pregnant, sir, do you want to send another nanny to Geng? Good job." Take care of it."

Before Si Ye could nod, Niu Hulu said first, "Fu Jin, you see that there are more nuns around this slave, why don't you give the one next to this slave to Geng."

Si Fujin glanced at Niu Hulu, just nodded, without saying anything, and Niu Hulu did this only because she knew that Niu Hulu and Geng were very close in history. Moreover, this Geng family also gave birth to a son, the famous absurd prince Hong Zhou, and this Geng family is also a long-lived person, and now he can make friends with him. He noticed the angry look on Geng's face and the contempt in Fujin's eyes.

Halfway through the New Year's Eve dinner, Si Fujin seemed to have thought of something, so he said to the maid beside him: "Go and bring over the ground chicken soup stewed in the kitchen." Then he turned to Si Ye and explained: "It's New Year's Eve today. Supper, but Niu Hulu and Geng are pregnant after all, so it's better to drink some tonic soup."

The fourth master was still very satisfied with Fujin's arrangement, and felt that Fujin was indeed a good one, and he could still remember these little things at this moment, so he said: "Fujin treats you so generously, you must remember it in your heart, and you must not lose the rules! "

Everyone hurriedly responded, and then saw two maidservants bringing chicken soup, one of the maidservants did not know the reason, and walked a little shaky, the fourth master gave Su Wen a wink, and Su Wen walked over, I took the chicken soup from the maid, but I was thinking, this chicken soup is not very heavy, is the maid walking unsteadily?It couldn't be a scene secretly arranged by someone, but the scene was seen by the fourth master and ended early.

Su Wen turned around and saw that another maid had been brought to Geng's face by the chicken soup, so he walked towards Niu Hulu's family. When he was two steps away from Niu Hulu's family, he felt his feet slip. It was about to be sprinkled on Niu Hulu's body. Su Wen Yuguang saw the angry look on Si Ye's face, and he was startled. He used all the strength on his wrist, turned the direction, and let the chicken soup spill over him, boiling hot. The chicken soup was sprinkled on Su Wen's arms and chest. At this moment, he was so hurt by the scorching tingling that he almost screamed.

Su Wen bit his lips tightly and suppressed the pain around his mouth, because of Su Wen's incident, everyone stood up, Fourth Master looked at Su Wen with some doubts, and said: "You dog slave, are you How to do things, don't get up quickly."

At this moment, Niu Hulu didn't want to let it go. Niu Hulu now understood that this matter was aimed at her, but the maid from before was stopped by Su Wen. Someone wanted to harm her child, Niu Hulu didn't want to let it go so easily, she had to give everyone a warning through this matter, she is not weak to be bullied, so she said: "Master, this 'accident' 'Obviously they are here to harm the child in the servant's stomach..." Before he finished speaking, he supported his waist and looked a little uncomfortable.

Fujin's complexion is also not very good now, she ordered someone to prepare the chicken soup today, Sifujin was the first to be suspected of this accident, thinking of this, Sifujin said: "Hurry up and help your master sit down .”

Niu Hulu took advantage of the situation and sat down, but his expression was still not good. The fourth master also understood that today's incident was obviously caused by these women in the backyard, but now he has involved everyone around him. The fourth master got up and said: "Since this is an accident of the people around the master, it is designated to be punished." Then he said to Su Peisheng who was in a hurry: "Su Peisheng, go, give Su Wen twenty slaps, Let him have a long memory."

Su Peisheng looked at the fourth master with a look of reluctance, but the fourth master didn't look at him, so he had no choice but to walk in front of Su Wen. When Su Wen was getting a little dizzy from the scalding chicken soup, he heard the order from the fourth master. My heart felt a bit cold, it was obviously the fourth master who ordered him to pick up the bowl of chicken soup, the fourth master must have seen the strangeness of this matter, but now he was asked to be the scapegoat, at this moment, Su Peisheng's slap was already Beat down.

Su Peisheng tapped lightly, and looked at Su Wen with sympathy in his eyes, but Su Wen smiled sadly. In the past, he was the one who felt sympathy for others, but now he is also being sympathized by others. Hulu suddenly said: "My lord, let me spare this servant. The servant is fine." The reason why she said this was a little scared. Originally, he wanted to use Su Wen as an excuse to gain prestige, but now seeing Fourth Master's expression showed that Su Wen seemed to be someone that Fourth Master valued, so he stopped him.

The fourth master didn't look at her but said: "Su Peisheng, haven't you had enough to eat? Master can't hear the sound anymore."

Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, and the strength in his hand increased, and the twenty slaps were soon over. Su Wen just wanted to die now, and the tingling sensation on his arm had been covered by the scorching heat on his face and the pain in the corner of his mouth. past.

The fourth master stood up and took a deep look at Niu Hulu, then scanned the crowd, and said, "Su Peisheng takes Su Wen with us."

Niu Hulu was paralyzed on the chair by the fourth master's glance, and felt that he had screwed up today's affairs, while Su Wen was supported by Su Peisheng to the fourth master's study.

Fourth Master said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Su Wen knelt on the ground, feeling very sad, tried his best to think about it and said: "Master, when the slave walked over, his foot slipped and he fell down."

Fourth Master thought for a while, and said, "Su Peisheng, look at the soles of his shoes."

Su Peisheng walked over, looked at it, even got to the sole of the shoe and wiped it with his hand, put it under his nose and smelled it, and said, "Master, the sole of Su Wen's shoe was stained with oil, that's why it slipped at that time."

The fourth master looked at Su Wen who was already in a state of distress, and felt uncomfortably uncomfortable and said, "Go down first." Su Wen stumbled out of the study, and the fourth master said to Su Peisheng, "What about this time, you Check it out carefully for the master, you dare to play in front of the master, you really want to die." Thinking of Su Wen again, he said: "In a while, you go get Baiji ointment for Su Wen, help him apply the medicine, and then go to the warehouse to get it. Give him something."

Su Peisheng looked at the fourth master in surprise, this white muscle ointment is very rare, and now it is used by Su Wen, it seems that Su Wen's injury this time was worth it...

Su Wen went back to his room and took off his clothes with great difficulty. His arms and chest were already scalded with blisters. He touched them with his hands, with a wry smile on his face. At this time, Su Peisheng walked in and said : "This is the ointment that the master ordered to give you. Don't resent the master. Today's matter was obviously arranged by someone, but I didn't expect it to pull you in. At that time, the master would not do it anyway. It may not be dealt with, but this time the master is already very partial to you, if there are other slaves, even if the master knows that he is innocent, he will be dealt with."

Su Wen secretly ridiculed in his heart that he was becoming more and more humble now, even if he was slapped, he would kowtow to thank him, thinking of this, he said: "Don't worry, Mr. Su, I won't hold any grudges."

The ointment felt icy cold on his body, and Su Wen finally felt better. He didn't have the guts or the ability to argue with Fourth Master about today's incident, but he must find the person who did this scene. from……

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

One day, Mosquito woke up from his sleep, sat up sweating, and Sisi looked at him suspiciously.

The mosquito pinched Si Si's arm: I remembered, you punished me before, knowing that I was framed, but still let Su Peisheng slap me.

Sisi touched the mosquito's cheek with sleepy eyes: Impossible, how could I let Su Peisheng touch your face!

The mosquito said angrily: I said he hit my face, not touched it!

Sisi: That's impossible, Su Peisheng doesn't have the courage.

Mosquito: You ordered it, don't try to quibble.

Si Si pulled the mosquito over impatiently, and kissed him twice on the cheek.

Mosquito blushes: what do you mean?

Sisi: Compensate you!

Mosquito:……
