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

In the beginning of the 53rd year of Kangxi, the palace held a happy event. The happy event was naturally Honghui's big wedding. After all, Honghui was the only son of Prince Yong's mansion, so his status was there. The fourth master was rare to manage with Fujin From Su Wen's point of view, Fourth Master still has the potential to be a "child control" about this kind of thing. Although he always speaks sarcasticly when facing his son, he actually loves his son more than anyone else.

Although Xilinjueluo Yuxiu's family is not too prosperous now, Sifujin still gave enough courtesy. After all, Honghui is also very satisfied with this Fujin. For a while after the wedding, Yuxiu successfully captured Sifujin's family. Xin, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious now.

On April 53th in the [-]rd year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi ordered the Empress Dowager to spend the summer outside the Great Wall, and ordered the third elder brother, fourth master, eighth elder brother, fifteenth elder brother, sixteenth elder brother, and seventeenth elder brother to accompany the driver, from Changchun Garden on that day start.

Because the fourth master is going to bring his family to go with him this time, a secret fight started in the mansion before the tour. Since Luyi disappeared from the backyard overnight, although everyone was a little suspicious, no one dared to say more What, the fiercest fights in the mansion are Nian Shi and Wu Yagege, and Sifujin and Li Shi have now shifted their targets, and they like to sit and watch a good show with tea.

Honghui also became a relative, and his daughter-in-law is considered polite and capable. Sifujin is extremely satisfied in her heart. Now she is only looking forward to the appearance of her grandson, and she is much less concerned about competing for favor. The most important thing is that no matter what the four It is impossible for the master to favor anyone over her, and Si Fujin is very confident about this.

And Li Shi has come out of Hongyun's death, and her daughter Nemin Gege was married as early as the 51st year of Kangxi. She did not marry in Mongolia as hard as other Gege, but I was very lucky to stay in the capital and marry Nala Xingde, and my life was very good, and after experiencing these things, Mrs. Li gradually saw a lot, and only devoted herself to raising Hongshi, and treated Fujin more and more. He became respectful, and no longer competed with Fujin for favor, and occasionally chatted and laughed happily with Fujin.

The 'strike' of the two giants in the mansion made the fourth master once doubt his own attractiveness, especially Li's. The fourth master even suspected that there was some conspiracy in it, and asked Su Peisheng to send someone to Li's side to inquire. The result is that his eldest wife and concubine lost the love they used to have for him, and the fourth master was lost for a long time because of this. After a few days, he found the past sweet pastry from Nianshi and other Gege. image.

Su Wen, the attendant, is also living in dire straits recently. Ever since Si Ye said that he would take women to escape the summer heat, although those women dare not come near the study, they always approach Si Ye's living room. Different people would come to see fourth master with so-called boshen soup, eye-catching soup, etc., but Su Wen, who was severely rejected by fourth master, had to send them away with all kinds of piercing eyes.

Maybe the fourth master was also irritable, and soon announced that he would take Niu Hulu and Nian out together this time, regardless of other people's expressions, in short, Su Wen was much more relaxed.

The big team soon got ready and set off. This time, besides the two beautiful concubines, Fourth Master also brought Honghui and Hongshi along. Seeing his son, but looking forward to seeing his grandson, Honghui, who is in the midst of a wedding, is forced to bid farewell to Fujin in tears.

Along the way, in order to take care of the empress dowager's body, the team drove slowly, but it still made these women very unbearable, and they lost their energy to fight for favors. When they arrived at the Rehe Palace, everyone looked exhausted. .

Niu Hulu is actually very helpless, her son Hongli is only three or four years old now, although she likes to be able to escape the summer outside the Great Wall, she is also very worried about her son in the mansion, so she is not in the mood to go four Grandpa's eyes flickered, but who knew that the fourth master recently had a tendency to be 'SM', the more he didn't want to talk to him, but he insisted on visiting him, but Niu Hulu's unintentional behavior gave her the upper hand over Nian , this made Nian's resentment, and he stepped up time to wander weakly and helplessly in front of Fourth Master...

After they came to Rehe, they lived in Si Ye’s new garden. This garden is located in the Lion Garden under the Lion Ridge in the northwest of the villa. It was built in the 42nd year of Kangxi at the same time as the villa. It was originally called Shizigou Garden and was named by Kangxi. Lion Garden, and in the 51st year of Kangxi, it was bestowed on the fourth master as his temporary residence in Rehe in the villa.

This is also the first time for Su Wen to come to this garden. I remember that he said in Unofficial History before that because the birthplace of Hongli is a mystery that has not been solved, it is inevitable that later generations will speculate about who his biological mother was.Rumors about Qianlong's biological mother came out one after another, and people were especially keen to talk about Qianlong's biological mother being Li Shi, a palace maid of the Summer Resort.

Of course, this rumor is not credible, but it also reflects the high status of the Lion Garden in Prince Yong's Mansion. On the one hand, this garden was gifted by Kangxi, on the other hand, the fourth master is really afraid of heat. And the construction, landscape and design of this yard are very in line with fourth master's taste, so when fourth master comes to this garden, except for the inevitable daily greetings and business affairs, he always stays in the garden.

Fourth master would take them on tours, drink and play chess when he has nothing to do. Sixth and Seventeenth Brothers are not afraid of Fourth Master's cold face like other elder brothers, but often come here to have fun with Fourth Master. Of course, the other fifteenth Brothers seem to look down on Fourth Master , everyone went to the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother.

Sitting in the pavilion, the fourth master felt the refreshing breeze and was in a good mood, so he said, "Su Wen, go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare a pot of wine and some side dishes. I'll have a drink here today." .”

Su Wen saw that the fourth master was very interested, so he moved swiftly to prepare. On the way, he met Xi'er, a maid beside Nianshi. Because Nianshi has not been able to compete with Niu Hulu's lately, he is not in a good mood. And Xi'er, a loyal servant girl, saw Su Wen beside Fourth Master, she stepped forward and said, "Grandpa Su, this servant is Xi'er, the servant girl next to Nian Fujin. What are you busy with now?"

Su Wen was walking in a hurry, when suddenly a maid who appeared blocked his way, frowned and said, "Oh, it's Miss Xi'er, the miscellaneous family wants to prepare something for the master, so I'll take my leave first."

Su Wen ignored Xi'er's persuasion, and left in a hurry. He had suffered enough from Nianshi and her maidservant, and each time he had a lot of words. In the end, he wanted to find out where Si Ye was now. What to do, thinking of this Su Wen shook his head, feeling that the ancient three wives and four concubines are also very painful, none of these women are easy to deal with.

Fourth Master picked up the wine that Su Peisheng had poured, took a sip, picked up the dish with chopsticks, and looked at the scenery on the lake while eating, his face softened a lot, and he looked very comfortable.

Fourth Master pointed to the opposite mountain and said, "Do you know the name of that mountain?"

"Returning to the master, as far as I know, the mountain is called Leshan. This small mountain has no name. When the lion garden was built, because of the mountain in the garden, the emperor read from "The Analects of Confucius" that "the knower enjoys water, It is named after the allusion of "Leshan the Benevolent", and the main hall in the garden is named "Leshan Academy", and all the mountain names come from this." Su Peisheng is obviously better than Su Wen in this aspect. All the people and things around here have been inquired clearly, making Su Wen feel inferior. If this Su Peisheng is placed in modern times, and he learns a few more foreign languages, it is really easier to use than a British housekeeper, and he will be robbed by those rich people. The most important thing is that at least he won't be struggling to find a job after graduating from university like Su Wen. There is still a big difference between people.

The fourth master noticed that Su Wen was looking at Su Peisheng adoringly, and felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Ever since he took the medicine that day, he always had a strange thought in his heart, if this Su Wen was a woman...cough Cough, of course, this idea of ​​the fourth master just passed by in a flash, but the fourth master has indeed struggled for a long time. He always feels that he is a little uncertain about Su Wen now. Some can't do without him.

If it was in the past, the fourth master would definitely think that he was doubting the loyalty of his subordinates, but after seeing the jq of the prince and eunuch, he couldn't help thinking wrong, so he said: "Su Wen, come here and tell me the truth. liquor."

Su Wen was admiring Su Peisheng's ability in his heart, and when he was lamenting his own incompetence, he felt much better when he heard Si Ye's words. It seemed that although his ability was not as good as Su Peisheng's, it was still useful and not a waste Chai, so he hurriedly smiled and walked to Si Ye's side, and poured wine for Si Ye in a rather doggy manner. Only now did Si Ye smile with satisfaction from the bottom of his heart, feeling much better.

On the other side, Su Peisheng's body also relaxed. As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wen's hot eyes showed him that something was wrong all over his body, and then he was stared at by fourth master's cold eyes so that he wanted to find a hole to hide Seeing that Su Wen took over his task, Fourth Master's complexion also improved. Su Peisheng wept silently in his heart. There is a stupid subordinate, this life is really hard...

The fourth master was very comfortable being served by Su Wen, and in his heart he felt that Su Wen was pretty good, at least he did not let down his training for so many years (cough cough, don't think wrongly), and said: "Su Wen, you are now Can you already write the words?"

Su Wen was speechless. Speaking of this topic, he felt headaches in every possible way. As a modern college student, he had studied hard for nearly 20 years, passed countless exams, exams, and college entrance exams, and finally got the That small undergraduate book, no matter how you say it, should be regarded as a learned person, but it was only in ancient times that I realized that all of these are useless. Even the writing I wrote since childhood is useless. There are many traditional characters that I don’t know, let’s just write them. There are too many gestures in traditional characters, which makes him a modern person who lives in simplified characters.

"Returning to master, this slave is working hard to practice now." Su Wen replied with some brazenness, which was sad to say. Originally, it was better for eunuchs not to be able to read and write, but the people around Fourth Master are all useful people, and Su Wen Wen also needs to touch the sticky pole, so he must be literate, so he began a difficult career of literacy and calligraphy, which often gave him the illusion of returning to his primary school days.

The fourth master smiled. He once saw Su Wen's handwriting by accident. It was really horrible. Let's not mention whether the word is correct or not. He just said that it was not written well anyway, which is really shameful, so For the sake of the appearance of the fourth master's mansion, he paid attention to it, and said, "You have to practice quickly, don't embarrass the master, and write a few words to show the master someday, at least the words should be horizontal and vertical."

Su Wen hurriedly accepted it humbly. Thinking of this, he thought of a writing brush. Why do you have to use a writing brush to write? This thing is really difficult to master. He even remembered the quill and charcoal pen mentioned in Qing Chuanwen. , but the result always left him speechless. He has not found a usable charcoal pen so far, and his hands are still black, let alone a living goose, so he has to work hard to practice the brush.

While listening to this conversation, Su Peisheng's mouth twitched a little. He has been with Fourth Master for so many years. How come he has never seen Fourth Master treat his subordinates so tenderly? Still very fat, but probably because of that punishment, the body lost weight, the whole person looked extraordinarily thin and pitiful, but his cheeks were fleshy, coupled with the aggrieved eyes , Su Peisheng trembled uncontrollably, could it be that the fourth master was so moved by Su Wen's expression that he was so gentle to him?

The author has something to say:

small theater:

One day, Su Peisheng has become the leader of all the eunuchs and is teaching experience to other young eunuchs.

Eunuch A: Manager Su, since you are the manager, why is Eunuch Su Wen keeping vigil at the master's place every night?

Eunuch B: Yes, yes, and last time I saw Eunuch Su Wen wait for the master to take a bath, and he didn't come out after that.

Eunuch C: I've seen it too, that time the master taught Su Wen how to write hand in hand, and even smiled gently.

Eunuch Ding: You guys are nothing. Once, when I was on duty at night, I suddenly heard groans coming from Mr. Su Wen’s room. I thought something was wrong, so I knocked on the door, but nothing happened. People responded, so they had no choice but to leave, but the next day they saw the master come out from inside, looking very good.

……

Su Peisheng wiped away his tears: cough cough~ stop it all, you just need to learn more from my experience, as for Su Wen, you will never be able to learn it, you will have to pay the physical and mental price... …
