Inside the Hall of Nine Classics and Three Things.
Kangxi, who didn't know that his sons were outside the palace, was busy instructing Prince Yinreng to review the memorial.
In the past, Kangxi preferred to solve it at the court, but now, in order to teach the prince, he would ask the courtiers to draw up the scriptures in advance, first to ask and test the prince, then go to the court to discuss, and finally ask the prince to integrate and formulate the imperial decree based on the results given by the courtiers.
The same is true today.
For example, due to poor harvests in various places in Shaanxi and the displacement of victims, Kulena, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, asked for relief.
Another example is that Galdan of the Junggar tribe escaped last time, and now it is reorganizing its army again to try to take the opportunity to invade Tushetu Khan of Khalkha Mongolia. Instead of joining forces to fight against the enemy, there is a tendency for the three parties to fight in chaos. How to appease the two parts to the outside world is also a difficult problem.
Prince Yinreng replied without hesitation: "If Khan Ama came forward, the two departments might be able to shake hands and make peace."
Kangxi smiled: "I intend to hold an alliance military parade in Duolunnuoer to appease the two departments and let them eliminate the gap as soon as possible. Galdan of the Junggar department is not the one who seems to be with him. If there is a difference in chess, I am afraid that there will be big problems. "
Previously, due to the invasion of Galdan of the Junggar tribe, the people of Tuxietuhan in Khalkha Mongolia had to leave their hometowns. The lessons learned are still in sight. Kangxi raised the threat of Galdan even more, and wrote down a few notes in the imperial decree asking local spies Watch closely.
Prince Yinfeng was taught by Kangxi himself.
The thinking of the two is also very similar, and the atmosphere of asking and answering is quite relaxed.Only after finishing talking about other things, did the two return their attention to the disaster relief in Shaanxi.
Prince Yinfeng first drew a few circles among the candidates submitted by the Ministry of Household Affairs and said: "The climate in Shaanxi is very different, and the mountain roads are rugged. Sufficient horsepower and manpower are needed for disaster relief, and talented officials are dispatched to deal with it. My son also has a doubt."
"You said."
"Prefectures and counties all over Shaanxi claim that the harvest is poor, but in the surrounding provinces and counties, there are no traces of officials reporting victims of disasters." Prince Yinfeng sharply pointed out this problem, and he was inevitably a little skeptical.
Kangxi smiled.
He circled another name with a red pen on the name circled by Prince Yinfeng, and tapped it lightly with his fingertips.
"Khan Ama also thinks there is a fraud in it."
"I also have this idea." Kangxi said lightly: "However, Kulena chose the servant Ashan? I am confused again. Do you think that Kulena knew there was a problem or didn't know?"
Prince Yinfeng thought about it.
He smiled wryly and shook his head: "If Master Kulena really pretends that he doesn't know anything, then this acting skill will be inferior."
simply put.
Prince Yinreng felt that Hubu Shangshu Kulena didn't notice any problems at all.
And so is Kangxi.
Yinfeng quickly caught dissatisfaction from Kangxi's eyes: "I didn't expect that Kulena was so stupid. He thought that the entire household department was clean and upright, and he laughed my big teeth off."
"Didn't Khan Ama arrange for the fourth younger brother? Khan Ama don't worry, I think the fourth brother will definitely find out what's wrong." Prince Yinreng was calm.
Liang Jiugong happened to push the door and enter at this moment.
He looked a little weird, but still slipped along the wall to Kangxi's side, and whispered a few words.
Kangxi: ...? ? ?
He looked at Liang Jiugong with surprise and disbelief: "Yinzhen? Is the fourth brother late for the Yamen today?"
Prince Yinfeng's voice stopped abruptly.
He and Kangxi looked at each other, and then both eyes fell on Liang Jiugong: "Is it really Yinzhen?"
Liang Jiugong nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"
He also thought it was weird, but it just happened.Liang Jiugong added another sentence: "This morning, the steward of the Changchun Garden saw the fourth elder brother's carriage and horses leave with his own eyes."
Kangxi: ...
There was an extremely complicated look in his eyes, and he couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is beyond my expectation. I told him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to make a big move at the beginning. I didn't expect this kid to be more powerful than me. You're even smarter in thinking, and you're actually being late and pretending to be a dandy?"
"My son was also taken aback."
Prince Yinreng gave a shallow smile: "Fourth younger brother has always been upright, I never thought he would make such a choice, but I'm worried... Yinzhen is probably showing his feet."
"I didn't tell him what to ask him to investigate." Kangxi shook his head.It was a whim to ask the fourth elder brother Yinzhen to check the household department. He originally planned to ask Shangshu Kulena to check. Seeing that Shangshu Kulena had been in the household department for half a year and didn't find out, he still had the intention to change someone to go in and investigate.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi was greatly surprised by Yinzhen who was put down temporarily.
As soon as these words came out, Prince Yinfeng was also surprised.
He originally thought it was Khan Ama's instruction, but he couldn't help straightening his back for a while, and said with some surprise: "This... really has nothing to do with Yinzhen."
During the period of time in the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Yinreng felt that he knew enough about the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.Yinzhen's nature is like a fire, but he is cautious in his words and deeds. He is said to be suspicious and suspicious, and he is selfless and upright in his actions.
But on the bright side, Yinzhen prefers to behave in an upright manner. This acting... is really not what Yinzhen is good at, is it?Yinfeng was full of doubts, but Kangxi was in a good mood and secretly praised his vision.
He complacently said to Yinfeng: "It seems to me that this kid can turn a corner - he must have discovered my plan. Not bad! Not bad! With Yinzhen, he will play tricks .”
Yinfeng: ...
Yinzhen learns from Yinzhen to play tricks? emmmmm... He couldn't help laughing: "If Yinzhen knew, he would have to make trouble for you again, Khan Ama."
Kangxi laughed.
He blinked at Yinrong: "Is it enough if you know about this?"
After a pause, Kangxi added in a good mood: "This is also a good thing, maybe Yinzhen can really find some evidence."
Immediately afterwards, he restrained his smile, and a stern light flashed in his eyes: "It is necessary to rectify the household department."
It has only been a long time since the corruption case of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has passed, and many moths have appeared in the household department.
Hubu Shangshu Kulena is rigid and strict. Kangxi thought that he would find out many problems by transferring him, but he did not expect that he was arrogant and arrogant.
In the past six months, not to mention not a single moth was caught from the household department, and he even praised the officials of the household department in front of Kangxi several times for their integrity, and they were all good officials.
Hearing what Kulena said at that time, Kangxi was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.Because of this, Kangxi was extremely satisfied with Yinzhen's performance.
He had no idea that Yinzhen's late arrival was not out of his own will, let alone because he saw the mystery, but was purely a coincidence!
What's even more amazing is that Yinzhen has gone straight to the hinterland through this, and got into the warehouse openly, and now he is looking at the account books and notes with relish.
While Kangxi and Yinreng were chatting and joking, someone outside reported that the elder brothers asked to see each other.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows: "Brother is here?"
The palace man respectfully replied: "Yes, Your Majesty. Except for the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the eleventh elder brother, all the other elder brothers are here."
"That's surprising."
Kangxi looked at Yinfeng, and asked with a hint of puzzlement: "I remember that Yinti just said in a hurry to go to the Cultural and Officials Department to do business?"
Before Yinfeng could reply, he motioned to the palace man again: "Brother Xuan, come in."
Kangxi is in a good mood.
Seeing Yinti leading his younger brothers in with a serious face, he didn't ask any questions, but called his sons to come over and have a look: "I see that there are still some traces of the sunburn yesterday, remember to apply some medicine later."
Seeing that each face is like a monkey's buttocks, with a touch of alpine red.The faint smile in Kangxi's eyes reminded everyone of what happened yesterday, and everyone couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Why bother?
Bring it up again and again.
Seeing that his sons were about to turn into anger, Kangxi changed the subject in a timely manner: "Yinti, why are you back again? And why are you here too?"
Yinti told the whole story with a stern face.
Seeing Khan Ama's dumbfounded expression, he couldn't help emphasizing his tone: "Khan Ama, this time I have to teach them a lesson, sorry Yinzhen has lost face this time, and I don't know what to do next Stand up!"
Yinti is well aware of the difficulty of entering the six departments.
Don't think of them as elder brothers, not everyone in the six films is pleasing to their eyes.For example, when I entered the military camp, I also suffered a lot of ridicule. I don’t know how many fights I had before I became brothers with a group of generals...
Thinking of this, Yinti's face suddenly darkened.
He seemed to think of the scene where the gang of brothers disappeared before his eyes one by one in order to cover his departure, and the hands that fell by his side couldn't help twitching.
Galdan...
Yinti was grinding his teeth, and a fierce flame was burning in his eyes.
Kangxi didn't notice Yinti's unusual reaction, he was exchanging eyes with Crown Prince Yinreng.The eyes of the two were full of surprise, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It turned out that all this was just a coincidence.
Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry when he came back to his senses.
Yinzhen ah Yinzhen.
It's because I think highly of you Yinzhen! ! !
Yinzhen, who was far away in the warehouse of the household department, sneezed twice in a row. He put the account book in his hand on the desk and subconsciously rubbed the tip of his nose.
Yinzhen propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin with both hands, a large shadow covered his eyebrows and eyes.
The ledger is clear and organized, but it always gives Yinzhen a very strange feeling.He simply stopped looking down, but closed the ledger and stuffed it back on the bookshelf.
Yinzhen stood up.
Walking to the window with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but frown as he looked at the quiet yard.
What is so strange...?
He lowered his head and frowned for a while, then raised his voice: "Come here."
Su Peisheng, who was guarding the door, walked in with a strange steward.The gloomy look on Yinzhen's face dissipated unknowingly, with a cheerful smile: "Today's weather is fine, let's set up a wooden couch in the backyard and have a glass of fruit juice and snacks. Elder Brother Ben is going to rest in the backyard." rest."
The steward responded.
He saluted respectfully, making the servants prepare and at the same time staring at the fourth elder brother without a trace of the corner of his eye.
Yinzhen's footsteps were very brisk.
He tapped on his shoes and swayed slowly into the garden.The wooden couch in the garden was placed under a tall banyan tree, and the dense leaves blocked most of the sunlight, only occasionally the sunlight fell on his face through the leaves.
The steward let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes swept over the book case again, and after confirming that the fourth elder brother was looking through only one account book, a smile finally appeared in his eyes, and even his steps became much easier.
It's a pity that the steward has no idea that his movements of looking around have already fallen into the eyes of Yinzhen's master and servant, and the weirdness of these account books and records makes Yinzhen even more frightened.
He lowered his eyes.
He became more and more curious about Hubu's hidden little secret.
Seeing the steward leave in a hurry, Su Peisheng quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Master, why don't you continue to read this account book?"
Not to mention that Yinzhen felt something was wrong, even Su Peisheng felt something was wrong.If you want to know the speed at which the master can check the account books, that's an awesome word!To be honest, Su Peisheng felt that Fujin who was waiting for his master in the future... maybe there is no master butler to take care of him well.
And now, for more than half an hour, the master has read only a few pages of the account book, and he looks exhausted and wants to rest?Su Peisheng who said it was not an act would never believe it.
Obviously noticed the problem.
Instead of looking for it, he just enjoyed it on his own. This is not like a master!Su Peisheng was worried, and he was a little worried about whether Yinzhen had a fever and fell ill.
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and gave him a sideways look: "Idiot, things are not as simple as you think."
Most of the head of the household department were born in the imperial examination or supervisory students. With the promotion of arithmetic over the years, this group of people was also the first to receive edification.It is not such a simple matter to find their tells as easily as last time.
Especially now.
Just looking at the small half of the account book, Yinzhen knew that this matter was not ordinary.
More importantly, how many people are in the same group in the household department?If the abnormal reaction is discovered by others, I'm afraid they will be cleaned up before Yinzhen finds out the evidence.
What's more important is that Yinzhen still has doubts in his heart. Does the Minister of the Household Department, Kulena, know or not?
It all became a secret.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen yawned lazily.He didn't get enough sleep last night after making a fuss all night, sleepiness surged up in waves in Hexi's breeze.
He rubbed his eyes and ordered in a low voice: "When the steward comes later, you must remember the people who have been in contact with him, and... if he talks to you and asks you to drink tea... you must refuse today, Do you understand?"
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then nervously replied: "...Huh? Well, yes."
Yin Zhen was still a little worried.
He stared at Su Peisheng and repeated: "Remember to do what Ben said."
Su Peisheng responded again.
This time Yinzhen was relieved a little, he simply took a book and spread it over his face, falling into a deep sleep under the warm sunshine... zzzzZZZ~
When the steward came back, he only saw the fourth elder brother with a peaceful appearance, taking a nap in the garden leisurely.He carefully placed the snacks and juices on the round table, and then quietly retreated to the gate of the garden.
Here you can see both the movement in the garden and the situation at the gate—similarly, Su Peisheng can also observe the steward's every move from his position.
He seemed to be staring straight ahead, but in fact, he was watching the steward from the corner of his eye, and recorded all the guards and officials who had contact with him and talked to him.
Su Peisheng was secretly startled.
What made him even more nervous was that the steward actually found him after half an hour, just like his master said, and he bent down with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Su, do you want to go to the tea room to have a drink and rest? "
Su Peisheng shook his head.
He kept Yinzhen's instructions in mind, and replied in a deep voice: "My father-in-law is the attendant of the fourth elder brother, how can he walk away at will? If the manager feels tired, go and rest! It doesn't matter if my father-in-law is serving alone here."
The steward smiled.
He didn't try to persuade him, so he retreated directly. Just when Su Peisheng thought it was over, a servant hurried over with tea again: "Grandpa Su! It's very hot, Manager Wang asked the little one to bring you a bowl of herbal tea for relief." heat!"
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
What's more, the steward seemed to be just out of kindness, Su Peisheng smiled all over his face.He took the tea with one hand and took out a pouch from his cuff with the other: "I'd like to trouble Steward Wang, this reward..."
"Hey, hey, I don't dare to ask for money from Eunuch Su!" The servant waved his hands again and again, and left in a hurry.
Su Peisheng watched the servants leave.
He had a smile on his face but the smile disappeared when he turned his head.
Yinzhen opened one eye: "Tsk."
Su Peisheng smiled all over his face: "Everything is under the master's control."
"Come on." Yinzhen gave him a lazy sideways glance, this time he closed his eyes and really fell asleep.
When it was time to paint the unitary in the afternoon, Shangshu Kule's anger had almost disappeared.Thinking about the evil deeds of the fourth elder brother this morning, and instructing the servant, Ah Shan, to send the fourth elder brother to do things, and then asking the servant, Ah Shan, who is so indifferent that he asked the fourth elder brother to go to the warehouse to study the account books. It's a little embarrassing.
He took his servant Ah Shan to the warehouse.
While walking to Shangshu Kulena, he was still sighing: "The fourth elder brother's attitude is still good, and the affairs of the warehouse to sort out the books are also very trivial. I didn't expect to do it without saying a word for several days without any complaints. It can be considered to be able to endure hardships, it seems that this official is too underestimating the fourth elder brother."
Servant Ah Shan: ...
He was thinking about the news reported by the steward: the fourth elder brother felt very drowsy after reading less than one-third of the account books, went to sleep in the backyard garden for an hour, got up, had juice and snacks, and went to read some idle books. When I said it once... it seemed like I was dozing off again?
Hardworking……?If you want him to say that he should know how to enjoy it.
Ashan, the servant, was heartbroken while walking towards the warehouse behind Shangshu Kulena with his head down and eyebrows lowered.
As for whether to remind?
Anyway, take a few more steps... Shangshu Kulena will see a scene that makes him slap his face.
The servant Ah Shan still remembers the face-slapping revenge in the morning.
He gloated and waited, and sure enough, when he opened the door, Shangshu Kulena's face turned dark.
The servant Ah Shan took a step forward.
Looking around, you can see that the fourth elder brother is sleeping soundly on the soft bed in the room, and even snores a few times. Su Peisheng and the steward frowned and held their breath, fanning the fourth elder brother left and right with fans.
This posture is as comfortable as it is said to be.
It was so comfortable that Shangshu Kulena would spit out a mouthful of old blood.Seeing his pale face, the servant, Ah Shan, immediately covered his ears with his hands.
Sure enough, in the next second, there was a loud shout in the room: "Fourth elder brother!!!"
This roar broke the silence of the household department yamen.
Even the officials at the gate of the yamen of the household department were so startled that their feet slipped and they almost fell to the ground.Not to mention that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who was closest to him did a sit-up on the bed with a groan.
He looked around as if he had seen a ghost.
Yinzhen's whole body trembled, and he felt cold sweat all over his back, and his head shook to both sides, full of vigilance.
It wasn't until the realization fell on Shangshu Kulena that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen let out a long sigh of relief: "What...Master Kulena? Huh? What time is Su Peisheng now?"
Su Peisheng also turned pale with fright.
He covered his thumping heart, and replied solemnly: "Reporting to the master, it is already the first day of the unitary year. We should also return to Changchun Garden."
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded in a sudden realization.
Without any movement or words from him, Su Peisheng knelt down on one knee with great winking, and waited for Yinzhen to put on his boots.
He stepped on the ground hard.
Yinzhen swaggered past Shangshu Kulena and his servant Ashan, and lazily said, "Then elder brother will get off work first."
There was obvious dissatisfaction between his brows and eyes.
Apparently the fourth elder brother was not happy about the fact that Hubu Shangshu Kulena disturbed him.
Shangshu Kulena: ...
The servant, Ashan, looked at Shangshu Kulena's face as if he was about to erupt, and wished he could turn his head and leave like the fourth elder brother.
Unfortunately, that is absolutely impossible.
Shangshu Kulena roared furiously, then grabbed his servant Ashan and rushed towards Changchun Garden—he had to impeach this ignorant fourth elder brother in front of the emperor!
Servant Ah Shan: ...
no!If you want to go, you can go, what do you have to do with me!
As for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen sitting in the carriage.
He didn't know that because his taunting tactics were used so well, Kulena, the minister of the household department, was furious and chased his carriage to find Khan Ama to file a complaint.Yinzhen still cheerfully asked Su Peisheng: "How did you look like just now? Does it look like the ninth brother is angry?"
Su Peisheng: ...
He was silent for a while, and gave a thumbs up: "My servant thinks that your performance just now, master, is three points more irritating than Brother Jiu!"
"...Well, it seems a bit overacted." Yinzhen rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and even began to think about how to act out the essence of a dude in the next few days with great interest.
Oh special point out.
This is not to say that Yinzhen is a dandy, but his behavior is particularly annoying, especially like a dandy :)
All of the above are the voices of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
But when he saw Yinzhen who was guarding in his room, Yinzhen stopped abruptly, and his heart beat faster instantly.
For a moment, he thought that Yinzhen had concocted some potion for eavesdropping on his heart, and then he knew his slander along the way!
Yinzhen's pupils trembled.
Yinzhen didn't notice his strange expression, so he leaned forward and circled around him: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother!"
At first glance, it looks like our own Momofuku.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and after relaxing, one hand landed on Yinzhen's head and rubbed it.
Yinzhen: ...?
He covered his little head with his hands, and looked at Yinzhen suspiciously at the same time: "...fourth brother? Why do I think you are thinking of something bad?"
Yinzhen coughed to cover up.
He withdrew his hand and quickly changed the subject: "Why are you here?"
"It was Khan Ama who asked my younger brother to come to you."
"...Huh?" Yinzhen was slightly taken aback, could it be because of being late?But what did Yinzhen say about being late?
Before Yinzhen could speak.
Yinti's loud voice came from outside again: "Fourth brother! You are really amazing!"
Yinzhen was slightly taken aback.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked back, only to see that the fifth, seventh, eighth, and even the thirteenth brothers followed his eldest brother Yinti!
For a time the whole room was full of people.
What makes Yinzhen even more creepy is that every elder brother looks at him with uplifting eyes, and his eyes are full of admiration.
Yinzhen:……
He bite the bullet and said, "Big Brother, Third Brother? Fifth Brother?...What are you guys doing here?"
First appreciating the pitiful appearance of the fourth younger brother, then Yinti gave Yinzhen a thumbs up, winked and smiled and said, "Do you think we can't come? The big guys didn't see it, fourth younger brother You are so awesome and mighty! The first day you went to be on duty at the yamen of the Ministry of Households, you came here angrily and sued the Minister of the Ministry of Households! My fourth brother is amazing!"
Kangxi, who didn't know that his sons were outside the palace, was busy instructing Prince Yinreng to review the memorial.
In the past, Kangxi preferred to solve it at the court, but now, in order to teach the prince, he would ask the courtiers to draw up the scriptures in advance, first to ask and test the prince, then go to the court to discuss, and finally ask the prince to integrate and formulate the imperial decree based on the results given by the courtiers.

Previously, due to the invasion of Galdan of the Junggar tribe, the people of Tuxietuhan in Khalkha Mongolia had to leave their hometowns. The lessons learned are still in sight.

Liang Jiugong nodded heavily: "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true!"
He also thought it was weird, but it just happened.Liang Jiugong added another sentence: "This morning, the steward of the Changchun Garden saw the fourth elder brother's carriage and horses leave with his own eyes."
Kangxi: ...
There was an extremely complicated look in his eyes, and he couldn't help laughing out loud: "This is beyond my expectation.

Kangxi laughed.
He blinked at Yinrong: "Is it enough if you know about this?"

Kangxi is in a good mood.
Seeing Yinti leading his younger brothers in with a serious face, he didn't ask any questions, but called his sons to come over and have a look: "I see that there are still some traces of the sunburn yesterday, remember to apply some medicine later."
Seeing that each face is like a monkey's buttocks, with a touch of alpine red.The faint smile in Kangxi's eyes reminded everyone of what happened yesterday, and everyone couldn't help but feel dizzy.
Why bother?
Bring it up again and again.
Seeing that his sons were about to turn into anger, Kangxi changed the subject in a timely manner: "Yinti, why are you back again? And why are you here too?"
Yinti told the whole story with a stern face.
Seeing Khan Ama's dumbfounded expression, he couldn't help emphasizing his tone: "Khan Ama, this time I have to teach them a lesson, sorry Yinzhen has lost face this time, and I don't know what to do next Stand up!"
Yinti is well aware of the difficulty of entering the six departments.
Don't think of them as elder brothers, not everyone in the six films is pleasing to their eyes.For example, when I entered the military camp, I also suffered a lot of ridicule. I don’t know how many fights I had before I became brothers with a group of generals...
Thinking of this, Yinti's face suddenly darkened.
He seemed to think of the scene where the gang of brothers disappeared before his eyes one by one in order to cover his departure, and the hands that fell by his side couldn't help twitching.
Galdan...
Yinti was grinding his teeth, and a fierce flame was burning in his eyes.
Kangxi didn't notice Yinti's unusual reaction, he was exchanging eyes with Crown Prince Yinreng.The eyes of the two were full of surprise, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It turned out that all this was just a coincidence.
Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry when he came back to his senses.
Yinzhen ah Yinzhen.
It's because I think highly of you Yinzhen! ! !
Yinzhen, who was far away in the warehouse of the household department, sneezed twice in a row. He put the account book in his hand on the desk and subconsciously rubbed the tip of his nose.
Yinzhen propped his elbows on the table, resting his chin with both hands, a large shadow covered his eyebrows and eyes.
The ledger is clear and organized, but it always gives Yinzhen a very strange feeling.He simply stopped looking down, but closed the ledger and stuffed it back on the bookshelf.
Yinzhen stood up.
Walking to the window with his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but frown as he looked at the quiet yard.
What is so strange...?
He lowered his head and frowned for a while, then raised his voice: "Come here."
Su Peisheng, who was guarding the door, walked in with a strange steward.The gloomy look on Yinzhen's face dissipated unknowingly, with a cheerful smile: "Today's weather is fine, let's set up a wooden couch in the backyard and have a glass of fruit juice and snacks. Elder Brother Ben is going to rest in the backyard." rest."
The steward responded.
He saluted respectfully, making the servants prepare and at the same time staring at the fourth elder brother without a trace of the corner of his eye.
Yinzhen's footsteps were very brisk.
He tapped on his shoes and swayed slowly into the garden.The wooden couch in the garden was placed under a tall banyan tree, and the dense leaves blocked most of the sunlight, only occasionally the sunlight fell on his face through the leaves.
The steward let out a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, his eyes swept over the book case again, and after confirming that the fourth elder brother was looking through only one account book, a smile finally appeared in his eyes, and even his steps became much easier.
It's a pity that the steward has no idea that his movements of looking around have already fallen into the eyes of Yinzhen's master and servant, and the weirdness of these account books and records makes Yinzhen even more frightened.
He lowered his eyes.
He became more and more curious about Hubu's hidden little secret.
Seeing the steward leave in a hurry, Su Peisheng quickly lowered his voice and asked, "Master, why don't you continue to read this account book?"
Not to mention that Yinzhen felt something was wrong, even Su Peisheng felt something was wrong.If you want to know the speed at which the master can check the account books, that's an awesome word!To be honest, Su Peisheng felt that Fujin who was waiting for his master in the future... maybe there is no master butler to take care of him well.
And now, for more than half an hour, the master has read only a few pages of the account book, and he looks exhausted and wants to rest?Su Peisheng who said it was not an act would never believe it.
Obviously noticed the problem.
Instead of looking for it, he just enjoyed it on his own. This is not like a master!Su Peisheng was worried, and he was a little worried about whether Yinzhen had a fever and fell ill.
Yinzhen narrowed his eyes and gave him a sideways look: "Idiot, things are not as simple as you think."
Most of the head of the household department were born in the imperial examination or supervisory students. With the promotion of arithmetic over the years, this group of people was also the first to receive edification.It is not such a simple matter to find their tells as easily as last time.
Especially now.
Just looking at the small half of the account book, Yinzhen knew that this matter was not ordinary.
More importantly, how many people are in the same group in the household department?If the abnormal reaction is discovered by others, I'm afraid they will be cleaned up before Yinzhen finds out the evidence.
What's more important is that Yinzhen still has doubts in his heart. Does the Minister of the Household Department, Kulena, know or not?
It all became a secret.
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen yawned lazily.He didn't get enough sleep last night after making a fuss all night, sleepiness surged up in waves in Hexi's breeze.
He rubbed his eyes and ordered in a low voice: "When the steward comes later, you must remember the people who have been in contact with him, and... if he talks to you and asks you to drink tea... you must refuse today, Do you understand?"
Su Peisheng was stunned for a moment, then nervously replied: "...Huh? Well, yes."
Yin Zhen was still a little worried.
He stared at Su Peisheng and repeated: "Remember to do what Ben said."
Su Peisheng responded again.
This time Yinzhen was relieved a little, he simply took a book and spread it over his face, falling into a deep sleep under the warm sunshine... zzzzZZZ~
When the steward came back, he only saw the fourth elder brother with a peaceful appearance, taking a nap in the garden leisurely.He carefully placed the snacks and juices on the round table, and then quietly retreated to the gate of the garden.
Here you can see both the movement in the garden and the situation at the gate—similarly, Su Peisheng can also observe the steward's every move from his position.
He seemed to be staring straight ahead, but in fact, he was watching the steward from the corner of his eye, and recorded all the guards and officials who had contact with him and talked to him.
Su Peisheng was secretly startled.
What made him even more nervous was that the steward actually found him after half an hour, just like his master said, and he bent down with a smile on his face: "Grandpa Su, do you want to go to the tea room to have a drink and rest? "
Su Peisheng shook his head.
He kept Yinzhen's instructions in mind, and replied in a deep voice: "My father-in-law is the attendant of the fourth elder brother, how can he walk away at will? If the manager feels tired, go and rest! It doesn't matter if my father-in-law is serving alone here."
The steward smiled.
He didn't try to persuade him, so he retreated directly. Just when Su Peisheng thought it was over, a servant hurried over with tea again: "Grandpa Su! It's very hot, Manager Wang asked the little one to bring you a bowl of herbal tea for relief." heat!"
As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit the smiling person.
What's more, the steward seemed to be just out of kindness, Su Peisheng smiled all over his face.He took the tea with one hand and took out a pouch from his cuff with the other: "I'd like to trouble Steward Wang, this reward..."
"Hey, hey, I don't dare to ask for money from Eunuch Su!" The servant waved his hands again and again, and left in a hurry.
Su Peisheng watched the servants leave.
He had a smile on his face but the smile disappeared when he turned his head.
Yinzhen opened one eye: "Tsk."
Su Peisheng smiled all over his face: "Everything is under the master's control."
"Come on." Yinzhen gave him a lazy sideways glance, this time he closed his eyes and really fell asleep.
When it was time to paint the unitary in the afternoon, Shangshu Kule's anger had almost disappeared.Thinking about the evil deeds of the fourth elder brother this morning, and instructing the servant, Ah Shan, to send the fourth elder brother to do things, and then asking the servant, Ah Shan, who is so indifferent that he asked the fourth elder brother to go to the warehouse to study the account books. It's a little embarrassing.
He took his servant Ah Shan to the warehouse.
While walking to Shangshu Kulena, he was still sighing: "The fourth elder brother's attitude is still good, and the affairs of the warehouse to sort out the books are also very trivial. I didn't expect to do it without saying a word for several days without any complaints. It can be considered to be able to endure hardships, it seems that this official is too underestimating the fourth elder brother."
Servant Ah Shan: ...
He was thinking about the news reported by the steward: the fourth elder brother felt very drowsy after reading less than one-third of the account books, went to sleep in the backyard garden for an hour, got up, had juice and snacks, and went to read some idle books. When I said it once... it seemed like I was dozing off again?
Hardworking……?If you want him to say that he should know how to enjoy it.
Ashan, the servant, was heartbroken while walking towards the warehouse behind Shangshu Kulena with his head down and eyebrows lowered.
As for whether to remind?
Anyway, take a few more steps... Shangshu Kulena will see a scene that makes him slap his face.
The servant Ah Shan still remembers the face-slapping revenge in the morning.
He gloated and waited, and sure enough, when he opened the door, Shangshu Kulena's face turned dark.
The servant Ah Shan took a step forward.
Looking around, you can see that the fourth elder brother is sleeping soundly on the soft bed in the room, and even snores a few times. Su Peisheng and the steward frowned and held their breath, fanning the fourth elder brother left and right with fans.
This posture is as comfortable as it is said to be.
It was so comfortable that Shangshu Kulena would spit out a mouthful of old blood.Seeing his pale face, the servant, Ah Shan, immediately covered his ears with his hands.
Sure enough, in the next second, there was a loud shout in the room: "Fourth elder brother!!!"
This roar broke the silence of the household department yamen.
Even the officials at the gate of the yamen of the household department were so startled that their feet slipped and they almost fell to the ground.Not to mention that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen who was closest to him did a sit-up on the bed with a groan.
He looked around as if he had seen a ghost.
Yinzhen's whole body trembled, and he felt cold sweat all over his back, and his head shook to both sides, full of vigilance.
It wasn't until the realization fell on Shangshu Kulena that the fourth elder brother Yinzhen let out a long sigh of relief: "What...Master Kulena? Huh? What time is Su Peisheng now?"
Su Peisheng also turned pale with fright.
He covered his thumping heart, and replied solemnly: "Reporting to the master, it is already the first day of the unitary year. We should also return to Changchun Garden."
The fourth elder brother Yinzhen nodded in a sudden realization.
Without any movement or words from him, Su Peisheng knelt down on one knee with great winking, and waited for Yinzhen to put on his boots.
He stepped on the ground hard.
Yinzhen swaggered past Shangshu Kulena and his servant Ashan, and lazily said, "Then elder brother will get off work first."
There was obvious dissatisfaction between his brows and eyes.
Apparently the fourth elder brother was not happy about the fact that Hubu Shangshu Kulena disturbed him.
Shangshu Kulena: ...
The servant, Ashan, looked at Shangshu Kulena's face as if he was about to erupt, and wished he could turn his head and leave like the fourth elder brother.
Unfortunately, that is absolutely impossible.
Shangshu Kulena roared furiously, then grabbed his servant Ashan and rushed towards Changchun Garden—he had to impeach this ignorant fourth elder brother in front of the emperor!
Servant Ah Shan: ...
no!If you want to go, you can go, what do you have to do with me!
As for the fourth elder brother Yinzhen sitting in the carriage.
He didn't know that because his taunting tactics were used so well, Kulena, the minister of the household department, was furious and chased his carriage to find Khan Ama to file a complaint.Yinzhen still cheerfully asked Su Peisheng: "How did you look like just now? Does it look like the ninth brother is angry?"
Su Peisheng: ...
He was silent for a while, and gave a thumbs up: "My servant thinks that your performance just now, master, is three points more irritating than Brother Jiu!"
"...Well, it seems a bit overacted." Yinzhen rubbed his chin thoughtfully, and even began to think about how to act out the essence of a dude in the next few days with great interest.
Oh special point out.
This is not to say that Yinzhen is a dandy, but his behavior is particularly annoying, especially like a dandy :)
All of the above are the voices of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.
But when he saw Yinzhen who was guarding in his room, Yinzhen stopped abruptly, and his heart beat faster instantly.
For a moment, he thought that Yinzhen had concocted some potion for eavesdropping on his heart, and then he knew his slander along the way!
Yinzhen's pupils trembled.
Yinzhen didn't notice his strange expression, so he leaned forward and circled around him: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother!"
At first glance, it looks like our own Momofuku.
Yinzhen breathed a sigh of relief instantly, and after relaxing, one hand landed on Yinzhen's head and rubbed it.
Yinzhen: ...?
He covered his little head with his hands, and looked at Yinzhen suspiciously at the same time: "...fourth brother? Why do I think you are thinking of something bad?"
Yinzhen coughed to cover up.
He withdrew his hand and quickly changed the subject: "Why are you here?"
"It was Khan Ama who asked my younger brother to come to you."
"...Huh?" Yinzhen was slightly taken aback, could it be because of being late?But what did Yinzhen say about being late?
Before Yinzhen could speak.
Yinti's loud voice came from outside again: "Fourth brother! You are really amazing!"
Yinzhen was slightly taken aback.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked back, only to see that the fifth, seventh, eighth, and even the thirteenth brothers followed his eldest brother Yinti!
For a time the whole room was full of people.
What makes Yinzhen even more creepy is that every elder brother looks at him with uplifting eyes, and his eyes are full of admiration.
Yinzhen:……
He bite the bullet and said, "Big Brother, Third Brother? Fifth Brother?...What are you guys doing here?"
First appreciating the pitiful appearance of the fourth younger brother, then Yinti gave Yinzhen a thumbs up, winked and smiled and said, "Do you think we can't come? The big guys didn't see it, fourth younger brother You are so awesome and mighty! The first day you went to be on duty at the yamen of the Ministry of Households, you came here angrily and sued the Minister of the Ministry of Households! My fourth brother is amazing!"
