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

There are still a few days before the new year, and the weather is getting colder and colder. The clothes of these servants have also changed a little. Although they are not too thick, at least they can keep warm. Su Wen was an authentic man in his previous life. Northerners, so it can still be supported.

In the past few days, there has been heavy snowfall, but the work is still going on. Just like now, although it is already seven or eight o'clock in the evening, he still has to stay outside the study.

There was heavy snow outside the study, and the temperature was already very low. Su Wen stomped his feet on the spot quietly in order to achieve the effect of warming up, but inside the study was another warm world.

Fourth Master put down the booklet in his hand, took a few sips of hot tea, and realized that it was already late, so he took the cloth towel from Su Peisheng's hand, wiped his hands, walked to the window, opened a slit, and breathed in, After taking a few glances outside, he happened to see Su Wen's movements, and his eyes flashed with thought.

"Any new news recently?"

Su Peisheng heard the fourth master's question, and immediately replied: "Master, due to the heavy snow these days, there have been some people affected by the disaster in the capital, but after the distribution of food, new houses have been added, and the problem has been solved. about there."

Because of the gap in the window, the cool air came in, Fourth Master closed the window and said, "Well, I see, how is Mingzhu?"

"Following the master's order, the servant has already sent someone to approach Lord Mingzhu's mansion, and the news is that Lord Mingzhu is now writing poems and painting frequently in the mansion, cultivating one's morality, and nothing has changed."

"Oh? Where's that Nalan Fusen? Is there anything unusual?"

"Master Mingzhu seems to dislike this young master Nalan very much. He usually doesn't have too much contact with him. Young master Nalan and the second young master Nalan were raised together, so the two brothers have a very good relationship. This young master Nalan The young master usually seems to be very ordinary, but according to the news that the master sent someone to inquire, it seems that the young master Nalan has something to hide."

"Hiding it up? Tell me specifically." Fourth master's eyes flashed with light.

"Yes, this little son Nalan was very dull until he was five years old. He couldn't say a few words a day. Master Mingzhu never paid attention to him, so he has never been enlightened. But since he was five years old, he gave birth After a serious illness, after waking up, the person has changed, and the temperament is also lively. The most powerful thing is that he has become very smart, learned things quickly, and secretly started a business outside. Now there is a famous "Youjian Tea House" in the capital. It was this young master Nalan who started it, and what attracts customers the most is the storytelling, and according to the secret inquiries of the servants, it is confirmed that many of the contents were written by this young master Nalan."

The fourth master walked slowly to the desk, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and said, "Well, it's very strange, keep staring at it." After speaking, he wrote 'change' on the paper (also It's the word 'Change'). After finishing writing, I took a few glances and threw it on the table casually.

"How about the eunuch named Xiao Mozi, did you find anything?"

"Returning to the master, there is basically nothing unusual about this little mosquito. He was sold into the palace by his parents. He also has an older brother. At that time, there was a great famine, and the family was dying. It happened that the palace was going to buy slaves. His parents did it for the family's livelihood. Without telling his brother, he was sold into the palace, and the people below went to investigate. After his parents took the money, they left with the whole family. Now there is no one to be found. Since the little mosquito entered the palace, because She was relatively young and didn't know how to talk, so she just did some trivial dirty work. Later, when the master went out to build a mansion, for some reason, this little mosquito was also on the list. After entering the mansion, he has always been very To be honest, I seldom talk much, and during this period of time, I have never talked much to anyone, nor have I had any contact with strangers, so from my slave's point of view, it is not bad."

The fourth master looked at Su Peisheng and said, "Oh? It seems pretty good to get your appreciation. That's all right, you can continue to lead him to work in the future. If he is capable, you can give him some pointers."

"Yes"

Seeing that Fourth Master seemed to be getting up, Su Peisheng went to the hanger at the door and took a cloak, helped Fourth Master put it on, and hurriedly handed a heater to Fourth Master. Fourth Master walked slowly to the door and said: "People don't need to withdraw, just keep watching."

Su Peisheng hurriedly agreed, he was used to it, there was nothing about the whole house that the master knew about, even himself, he didn't know who was secretly watched by the master.

When Su Peisheng opened the door of the study, Su Wen had already heard the movement, and stood still respectfully. When the fourth master walked over, he said: "Go down first, there is nothing else for you." After speaking, he took Su Peisheng away up.

Hearing this, Su Wen finally felt a little 'grateful' to Fourth Master in his heart, and stomped his feet fiercely on the spot a few times, hey, this damn weather can really freeze people...

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------

The heavy snow finally stopped two days before the new year. Because of the New Year's Eve, the mansion also became busy. Su Wen was a free place, and his task was to follow Su Peisheng and Fourth Master.

The lanterns in the mansion were also hung up, and each of the servants distributed a new dress, and everyone in the mansion had a small smile on their faces.

In the evening, Fourth Master arrived at Si Fujin's yard on time, Li Shi, Song Shi, and the two also stood up to greet him, "Master is auspicious!"

"Get up." The fourth master looked at Li's upright belly and the appearance of saluting with difficulty, his eyebrows frowned involuntarily, how could Si Fujin not understand, and hurriedly said: "Li, sit down quickly Come on, you too, you just showed your belly, you really shouldn't come out like this, I have already ordered the servants to tell you, don't move around."

Mrs. Li glanced at the fourth master with a smile on her face, seeing that the fourth master ignored her, she said: "Thank you Fujin for your understanding, but slaves can't be without rules, how can we be 'proud of being favored'."

Mrs. Song looked up at Mrs. Li's stomach, grief flashed in her eyes, and then she looked at Fourth Master. Su Wen stood aside with that sad look, and couldn't help feeling a little numb.

The smile on Si Fujin's face froze for a moment, and he smiled again: "Well, he is a man who understands the rules. It seems that I have thought too much. If this is the case, I will not excuse you."

When Li Shi heard this, she was annoyed. She wanted to go back, but seeing Fourth Master's increasingly gloomy face, she shut her mouth and didn't dare to speak out.

"Sit down, let's serve."

Su Wen looked at Si Ye's ice-like face, and thought unkindly in his heart, it's really troublesome if there are too many women, even though he was once a woman, it seems that the blessing of all people is not easy to enjoy...

It took a long time for the New Year's Eve dinner to end. After the food was removed, the New Year's Eve started at Fujin's side. Seeing that Fujin and Fourth Master were silent, Mrs. Li looked at Song Shi with a sad face, so she said: " Mrs. Song, what's the matter, but I don't feel well, do you want to ask the master to pass on a doctor?"

When Si Ye and Si Fujin heard this, they both looked at Song Shi, and Song Shi's sad expression fell into the eyes of everyone before he could hide it, and Si Ye's face turned sour.

Si Fujin glared at Li Shi, but had no choice but to say: "Yes, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it, and don't be bored in your heart."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she didn't know how to respond. Seeing Mrs. Li rubbing her stomach in a demonstration, she said involuntarily, "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable thinking about Little Gege."

Hearing Song Shi's words, Li Shi's face flashed a look of success, and Si Fujin also secretly hated her, this big guy actually talked about this again, isn't he sincerely looking for trouble?

"Okay, Mrs. Song, some time ago, when you were like this, I couldn't blame you, and I understand your sadness, but it's a big day today, but you acted like this. Could it be that you are dissatisfied with Ben Fujin?"

Song Shi hurriedly knelt down, and said: "No, Fujin misunderstood, this servant has never thought of this before."

The fourth master said in a cold voice: "Okay, you go down, what do you look like, I don't want to punish you more on New Year's Eve. After the New Year, you will be confined for a month. Learn the rules."

As soon as the fourth master's words came out, several people's expressions were different, Song had no choice but to thank Li, and accidentally saw Li's smile, and understood that he was presumptuous today and fell into someone else's trap, but this bitter fruit can only be swallowed down.

Si Fujin stared at Li Shi for a while, and couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the heater...

It has been more than half a year since Su Wen came here, and this is the first time he has personally come into contact with the struggle between women. Seeing Li Shi's undisguised complacency, he secretly shook his head. It is normal for Li Shi to behave like this. It was the time when Mrs. Li was favored, as she had given birth to several children for fourth master one after another.

Sifujin still doesn't have that sense of stability now, that's right, she just married fourth master not long ago, and she's just a little girl in modern times, of course she can't be compared with Sifujin who is known for being virtuous and gentle in the future.

As for the Song family?He is also blind. His daughter died young. In modern times, sadness is normal. Even if it has been a few months, it was not good in ancient times. For ancient royal men, it may be sad For a moment, but this sadness is only a few days at most, and it is the same with Kangxi. There are so many sons in Kangxi's life, and those who died are almost proportional to those who survived. How can there be time to be sad.

Fourth Master was also sad for a while at first, but he had to let go slowly, after all, he was the prince, and he still had a lot of things to do, how could he have time to love his children.And when the New Year's Eve is happy, which man likes to see his woman crying, if the Song family continues like this, it will not be far from falling out of favor.

In fact, Su Wen was really wrong, he was still too naive, a small part of Song's sadness was because he really felt sorry for his daughter's death, but most of them were deliberately acting in front of Fourth Master, hoping to get Fourth Master's pity, Trying to conceive again as soon as possible is just counterproductive, and pretending for too long will be annoying...
