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

At the end of the year, the draft list was already known to everyone, and the draft also started. This time, because of Hong Hui, Si Fujin was also very nervous, and Si Ye didn't care at first, but because of this draft Among them, there is a Khalkha Mongol, the daughter of Borzigit, who is said to be very good-looking, and because she is a Mongol, she is very popular with the Queen Mother. The forehead works under Ling Ce's command, and he himself is quite knowledgeable, so this Borzigit is very attractive in this draft.

Although Borzigit's status is still good, it does not mean that the fourth master is willing to let Honghui marry her. After all, the power of Mongolia has been declining day by day, and the fourth master values ​​the throne in his heart. If he ascended to the throne, then Honghui would be the future prince, so from any perspective, the fourth master would definitely intervene in Honghui's marriage.

On this day, the fourth master had a meal in Si Fujin's room, and Si Fujin said: "My lord, when I came to the palace to pay my respects to the queen mother, what the queen mother said seemed to mean that the Borzigit family Pointing to Honghui, what do you think?" Sifujin was very unwilling in her heart, although she was a backyard person, she was able to see the current situation clearly, and most importantly, she didn't want to wrong her child.

The fourth master thought for a while and said: "The imperial edict has not been issued, everything is still undecided, and the master will arrange it."

The stone in Si Fujin's heart was put down, and he said: "In the last draft, I should have pointed out a Fujin to Honghui. I looked at this year's draft list, and it seems that there is no one who is very suitable."

Fourth Master leaned on the chair, pointed to his shoulder, and Su Peisheng stepped forward to help Fourth Master rub it up, "Who's in this draft?"

"My concubine took a look. The most important ones in this draft are the Borzigit clan, the daughter of Ma Qi's deceased elder brother, the daughter of Xilinjueluo clan Ertai, and One of the most honorable is the daughter of Lord Guoyi Ling'a, I heard that this little girl's behavior is quite appreciated by the Queen Mother."

The fourth master thought about these things carefully in his heart. First of all, the Borzigit family is definitely not acceptable. The birth of Aling'a's daughter is precious, but it will definitely be the focus of everyone's scramble. Be careful that it would be bad if it falls into Huang Ama's eyes, so he said: "Ma Qi's eldest brother is Musca, who was awarded General Zhaowu by Huang Ama, and he passed away in 43 years."

Si Fujin froze and said: "It is good to designate a child who can be taught by Ma Qi, but it is a pity that she is not here now, which is not good."

Fourth master thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Let's look at this matter again, everything can only follow Huang Ama's order." Si Fujin had to be quiet for the time being.

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

Su Wen walked into the room and said: "Master, Nian Gengyao is asking to see you outside the mansion." The fourth master was stunned, and then remembered that it was already the end of the year, and it was time to return to the capital to report on his work and visit relatives. It is the governor of Sichuan, which can be regarded as a talent, and can be won.

Soon Su Wen went out to invite Nian Gengyao. Su Wen didn't have a lot of affection for Nian Gengyao. This was mainly because every time Nian Gengyao saw him and Su Peisheng, although he was very respectful on the surface, he was actually very respectful in his eyes. There was still contempt and disdain. Su Wen has been in this era for a long time, and he is used to this kind of look, but he is still somewhat unhappy.

Sitting outside, Nian Gengyao was also a little anxious. Although he had contact with Fourth Master several times this year, he mainly focused on listening to books. Later, he was transferred to Sichuan as the governor, so he lost the opportunity to contact him. Returning to Beijing to visit his father, coupled with his younger sister's draft, he remembered that he was still quite optimistic about Prince Yong, but his father was optimistic about the eighth elder brother, so this time Nian Gengyao still offered it. According to my father's order, I went to the eighth elder brother first, and then to the fourth master.

Just when Nian Gengyao was about to get impatient, the fourth master came out. Nian Gengyao was startled, and hurriedly put away all his emotions, and said, "Slave please greet the lord."

The fourth master sat down and said: "Come on, how is your health now?" Nian Gengyao replied: "Thank you for your concern, my father is still in good health, nothing serious."

"Well, are you here this time?"

Nian Gengyao hurriedly replied: "Since the last time I had a chat with the lord in the restaurant, I have benefited a lot. This time when I was in Sichuan, I also missed the lord very much."

Fourth Master nodded secretly in his heart, and said, "I heard that your sister is also in this draft?"

Nian Gengyao was a little happy in his heart. Ever since his family began to arrange for his younger sister to be drafted, he had been making up his mind. He still had great confidence in his younger sister, so he said with a smile: "I will tell you the truth, the slave's younger sister is here. During the first draft, Ama and the servant are very worried, and they only hope that she can point out a good marriage."

Fourth Master didn't say much, just nodded his head to show that he understood. Nian Gengyao was a little disappointed that Fourth Master didn't say anything. He had already said it once in the restaurant last time, but this time it was even more obvious. I know it's still the same result.

After seeing off Nian Gengyao, the fourth master asked, "Did there happen to be any movement after Gengyao returned to the capital this year?"

Su Peisheng looked at Su Wen who was pressing the acupuncture points for the fourth master, and said, "Since Nian Gengyao returned to Beijing, he has been walking around a lot. Today he first went to the eighth elder brother's mansion, and then came to the palace."

"Humph, a slave who is obedient and obedient." Although the fourth master cursed, he was still thinking about how to win the Nian family. He has very few people who can use him now, and Nian Gengyao's deeds It's also very good. Now that he is the governor at a young age, seeing that Huang Ama values ​​her so much, she will definitely go further in the future. Thinking of this, I think of the younger sister that Nian Gengyao mentioned repeatedly. He understood the reason why Nian Gengyao mentioned his sister, but he was a prince after all, and it was impossible to give him an answer now, so it seemed that he was too urgent, but he could still do some activities.

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

The draft is in full swing, and Sifujin is now going back and forth between the palace and Prince Yong's mansion for Honghui's affairs. The fourth master took Honghui to greet Concubine De as usual.

However, there was another woman in Defei's palace. After all, Honghui was a ceremonial person, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Defei pulled Honghui to her side and said, "Look at our Honghui, isn't she It's time to point out Hong Hui to a Fujin." Hong Hui blushed a little, but Concubine De still didn't let it go, and said to Fourth Master: "It's not that my mother is mad at you, this Hong Hui You will be fifteen or sixteen years old this year, you, as an Ama, don't care about children too much, you should have pointed out one to Honghui in the last draft."

The fourth master also attached great importance to Honghui's marriage, so he had to say: "What Er Niang taught me is that Fujin also told her son about this, what does Er Niang think?"

Concubine De looked at the woman beside her, and said: "I see, you Fujin still have some ideas of your own, if Er Niang really takes this idea, don't be blamed by you Fujin in the future."

The fourth master hurriedly said: "Emiang was joking, don't dare, my son believes in Emiang's vision."

Concubine De smiled and did not answer, but pulled the woman aside and said to Honghui: "Honghui, this is Xilin Jueluo, a smart and filial child, you guys, let's get to know each other."

Honghui blushed a bit, the fourth master didn't expect his mother to start so impatiently, he glanced at it, and thought about it in his heart, this Xilin Jueluo is Ertai's daughter, and Ertai is very talented Yes, at the age of 21 Xi Zuo led the world and acted as a bodyguard.It’s just that I don’t know why the officialdom has been sluggish since then, and I haven’t been able to be reused. Now it seems that although the status is relatively low, it is still a big family. Its own ability is good and it has great potential. export stop.

Concubine De saw that the fourth master seemed to acquiesce in her actions, and the smile on her face deepened. The reason why she paid so much attention to Honghui's marriage was because Honghui was her eldest grandson after all, and she still loved her more or less. On the other hand, it involves the in-law relationship of various families. De Fei knew that the queen mother wanted to point the Borzigit family to Honghui. The most outstanding person in this younger generation was not Honghui, but Hongxi, the son of the deposed prince, is considered a proud son of heaven because he was brought up by the emperor's side. He has always been proud, so although he is outstanding, he has not been well received among the elder brothers. Yes, but she still knows Honghui's ability to some extent. It is said that those elder brothers in this younger generation admire Honghui very much. Although Honghui is not well-known, he has been praised by the emperor several times of.

Concubine De didn't say anything after the introduction. Su Wen looked at the blushing faces of Xilin Jue Luo and Hong Hui, and couldn't help but lamented the ruthlessness of the years. She was also a delicate woman in her previous life, and she always put I put my mind on my studies, graduated from university, and didn’t even send my first love away. This was more or less a miracle at the time, but now I came to ancient times in a blink of an eye, and because of this body, I was even more insulated from emotions Now, watching the scene where the boys and girls fall in love, I have to say a word of admiration, the man and the woman are very good-looking, Su Wen is far away, and it seems that he can see the pink peach hearts floating on them.

After a while, Concubine De ordered Xilin Jueluo to be sent out. After all, it was still during the draft period, so it was not easy to have too many contacts. The fourth master seemed to be very satisfied with Honghui, and made a secret decision in his heart. Concubine De He also said: "There is only one side Fujin in your mansion now, and it's time to point you to another one this year."

Fourth Master thought for a while before saying: "Everything is arranged by Er Niang."

Concubine De nodded and said: "A few days ago, the people in your mansion who should be mentioned have also been mentioned. No matter how you say it, the Niuhulu clan gave birth to your elder brother. This person still needs to be promoted. When your Empress Ama came to Yonghe Palace a few days ago, she praised Ling Zhu a lot."

When the fourth master heard this, he also understood in his heart. It seems that this Ling Zhu is still loved by Huang Ama, so he said: "What Er Niang said is that my son has been too busy recently. The Niu Hulu family should be promoted to the side Fujin."

Concubine De smiled with satisfaction and said: "That's right, this Niu Hulu's birth to Hongli just happened to be in time for the auspicious event, so he is a blessed person."

The fourth master thought about it. What he is most worried about now is the auspiciousness. It would be very good if this kind of auspiciousness were placed on his son Honghui, but this happened to Shu Fujin's son. For Hongli, this is not so good. Although the fourth master is proud of his son's auspiciousness, he doesn't want to leave Honghui with any embarrassment because of this matter. After all, he has high hopes for him son of a son.

"Er Niang has said it, this auspiciousness happened because of Huang Ama's sage rule, and Hongli just happened to catch up. How could he have such a blessing."

Concubine De felt relieved when she heard that the fourth master didn't value Hongli too much. Ever since Niu Hulu was accidentally pointed out to the fourth son in the draft, she still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she was The old fourteenth came here to beg for herself, but she didn't get what she wanted, so she didn't like Niu Hulu very much. Later, Niu Hulu and Si Fujin came to ask for peace several times, but she didn't give it to her. What a good face. Later, when Niu Hulu gave birth to Hongli, just in time for Xiangrui, even the emperor was delighted. Seeing the jealousy in the old fourteen's eyes, Concubine De sighed inwardly that she should have fought more with the emperor. Yes, now because of the emperor's suggestion, I have to ask the fourth brother to give the Niu Hulu family a position, but I am worried that the fourth child thinks too much of the Niu Hulu family, so I tried it out, and it really didn't work. Let yourself down.

The fourth master took them out of the Yonghe Palace, and just after they left, he heard a woman's voice not far away. The fourth master looked at the clothes of several people and knew that they were the show girls of this year, because it was not easy to flash After driving, he stopped in the dark and stood for a while, Su Wen followed behind, and heard the conversation of several people.

"Sister Yuxiu is really doted on by the concubine De, and she was specially called to the Yonghe Palace today." Although the woman who said this was wearing a beautiful woman's costume, her face was full of pride and envy.

Xilinjue Luo Yuxiu lowered her head and said: "Ge Ge was joking, it's just that Concubine De loves the beauty of her servants, so she let her servants sit there for a while, it's not as good as Ge Ge being loved by the Empress Dowager."

Only then did Su Wen know that the other woman was Borzigit, and there was another woman beside her, who was very weak and beautiful, and she only heard her say: "Sisters, don't talk so much, we are in the palace now. Li, it’s not good to discuss it like this.”

Mrs. Borzigit seemed to look down on her, and said: "You are afraid, I am not afraid, and you don't want to call me sister every time, I really can't bear it, you have been talking about your brother in my ear before." What kind of governor of a province, how powerful, and how much your family is favored by the emperor, but I later found out that you are just a slave of the Han army flag."

"How could my sister say that about me? I just want to be friends with you. I'm not lying." The woman began to cry as she spoke. I have to say that she is indeed a beauty. Even more fragile and helpless, Su Wen felt that many men would definitely want to hug him in his arms to comfort him, so he quietly raised his head and glanced at Fourth Master. Fortunately, Fourth Master is still normal.

Borzigit looked at her resentfully, and said, "Don't cry every time, okay? If you don't know, you might think how I bullied you. Every time you look like this, it's really detrimental to you." The face of the family." Turning around, he said to Xilin Jueluo: "Sister Yuxiu, look at Nian Jiayi, she really looks like the Yangzhou skinny horse that was given to me by others..."

Xilinjueluoshi stepped forward and covered her mouth and said: "You don't want to die, this is the palace, you can't say anything." Feeling very wronged, he broke free and left angrily.

Xilinjueluo looked at Nian Jiayi who was still sad, and said, "Sister, don't be so sad, she doesn't mean it."

Nian Jiayi seemed to have found a backbone, she cried even harder, and then said: "Sister Yuxiu, why does she always trouble me? I really didn't provoke her. I feel so sad now Sadly……"

Standing in the dark, Su Wen could even see the black line on Xilin Jueluo's forehead at this moment. Seeing that after they left, Fourth Master and his party walked over. Hong Hui seemed to be still immersed in the shock of this scene, a little confused Brain, I don't understand why this woman is crying so hard, Su Wen followed behind and laughed secretly in his heart, this year is really not easy, just say that the ability to cry when he wants to cry is also very powerful, he is now I have already thought in my mind that once Nian Shi entered the mansion, the backyard will be full of turmoil. When I read some unofficial history before, I found that many people said that since Nian Shi entered the mansion this year, his health was not very good, and he often made servants Go find the fourth master, and even if the fourth master is with other women, he will definitely pass. There is even a saying that he must go every time. Although Su Wen has so many years of experience in serving the fourth master, This kind of statement is wrong, but I also began to look forward to the good show after Nian's entry into the mansion...
