Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

The old man surnamed Zhang went out with Kua Dai, and came out from the side door of Zhizao Mansion, and a carriage was parked outside the door.

The carriage looked like it belonged to a wealthy family, with luxurious decoration on it, and strong horses, and there were slaves riding tall horses on both sides.Kuadai asked someone to take a stool from the carriage and put it on the ground, then turned around and motioned for the old man surnamed Zhang to get on.

The old man stood by and stared at Kuadai with dead fish eyes, Kuadai urged him, "Go up, follow me back to our house, I have already asked my wife to prepare a house for you, and there will be someone to serve you when you eat and drink .”

The old man still didn't move, Kuadai pushed back the weapon hanging on his waist, stretched out his hands to support his arm, "Come on, old man, I'll help you up, you can take it when you see it, my dear father I've never been served like this before."

Kua Dai helped him into the carriage, the old man didn't look like a poor old man at all, he sat in the carriage generously, and beckoned to Kua Dai, "Come on."

Kua Dai stepped on the stool, thinking that he had really invited an ancestor back to worship.

The stool was put back, and the carriage moved forward, surrounded by the sound of horseshoe nails stepping on the bluestone slab.

"You said the sick one is your sister?"

"Well, the younger sister of my uncle's family, just like my own, grew up together when I was young."

"Someone is going to kill her."

"What do you mean?" Kuadai was dumbfounded when he heard that, first he thought that the group of women in the harem had been attacked by someone, and then immediately denied it.All the empresses in the palace have natal families. Everyone knows their roots and lives in the capital. If any empress dares to make such a move, the Tong family will not be afraid and will directly call the door.

Mr. Zhang didn't even look at Kuadai's face, "Is she suffering from a gas disease? I read the prescription, and the other party can hide from the world if he doesn't meet me. If he meets me, he's unlucky, and now he has nowhere to hide."

The old man surnamed Zhang was a little proud, "All the medicines they use don't involve the heart and lungs. I'm afraid it will induce your sister's old illness. This idea is wrong. Your sister has a cold, and it is in the throat. The places like the trachea are uncomfortable, they dare not use medicines, and just blindly recuperate. The bad thing is that this group of people likes to discuss together, and no one dares to stand up and sing against other famous doctors, for fear that something will happen at that time.

And because of your sister's status, you dare not prescribe those ordinary medicines, the more expensive medicines, the more difficult to find medicines, the more they are prescribed in the prescription.Your sister often drinks a kind of medicine to regulate the heart and lungs, and the amount of medicine has been left in the body for many years. If people want to avoid cardiopulmonary medicine, they will use rare and hard-to-find medicines, which ordinary country doctors have never heard of. The combination of good medicine and this kind of medicine not only has no effect on her wind-cold and qi disease, but will only make her slowly fall asleep until she falls asleep. "

"Why do you say these things are like listening to heavenly scriptures?"

"What do you know as a martial artist? Even those old doctors may not be so good at medicine. I guess, the one who knows that a certain medicine has accumulated in your sister's body over the years must be the one who prescribed it for her last time." doctor."

"The emperor said that the old doctor who prescribed the medicine passed away last year. The medicine he used before did relieve my sister's gas disease. It should be said to be very useful, but unfortunately he has passed away."

"He used the right medicine. Since he passed away, it means that the prescription fell into the hands of others."

"Impossible," Kuadai shook his head, "The imperial hospital dare not disclose the prescription, and the only ones in the palace who have the right to read my sister's prescription are the emperor and the queen mother, not the emperor, a husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of grace, Their childhood sweethearts, the Emperor, would not do such a cruel thing, and the Queen Mother doesn't care about it." The Queen Mother is an old man who can't even read Chinese characters, and never reads prescriptions, and in her old impression, as long as she treats cattle and sheep, she will definitely treat them. He will treat people, and at some point veterinarians have a higher status in her mind.Because the imperial physician does not know how to treat cattle and sheep, she has always been distrusted by her elders.

The old man surnamed Zhang closed his eyes, and Kua Dai saw that he didn't want to speak, so he also closed his mouth.

When he returned to his home in Suzhou, he first asked his wife to bring the children out to meet the old man surnamed Zhang, and then secretly asked her to beat the children, "After all, he has skills, even if he invites a capable old man to worship at home, You have to show the attitude you should have, and you have to have the attitude you should have, and you can't let them show the young master's temper."

Then invited the old man surnamed Zhang to the front yard to show him his own yard and room first, and explained to him in advance that this is a temporary residence. Everything is being arranged for him.Then he invited the group of friends who had helped inquire about the news these days to come over to accompany the old man surnamed Zhang for dinner.

After Tian Mi woke up, she felt hungry, and told Kangxi that she wanted to eat cucumbers and put more vinegar.

Kangxi was naturally overjoyed that there was something she wanted to eat.The kitchen quickly brought over the cucumbers and a bowl of salty porridge.

"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, have a few sips."

Kangxi fed Tian Mi a meal, then helped her to rinse her mouth and watched her lie down.

"Illnesses come and go like a mountain. I didn't expect that it would be like this once I caught a cold. Even if we don't admit it, we must believe in our hearts that we are not as good as before. The body was better than before, so we must remember to take care of it. If you want to live together forever, don't leave me and you on the road alone."

Kangxi held Tian Mi's hand and said a few words tenderly, Tian Mi closed her eyes and nodded, "I made my cousin worry."

"It's okay, as long as you are fine. I planned to go back to the capital these two days. Now that you are awake, we are not in a hurry to go back. Let's stay here for another half a month or a month. When you feel better, let's go together To fulfill your wish, didn’t you say that you regretted not going to the West Lake a few days ago? When we go back this time, we will go to the West Lake and stay there for a few days before returning to the capital.”

Tian Mi nodded lightly, and couldn't help yawning.

"Cousin, go to bed quickly, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Tian Mi yawned again, closed her eyes and shrank into the quilt. Kangxi sat beside her for a while, and found that Tian Mi fell asleep again, and then she stood up gently and led the people out.

He walked out of the yard silently, and couldn't help but look back when he went out.I feel very lucky in my heart, thanks to my ancestors for blessing, my cousin has saved her life.

Li Xu and his wife paid close attention to the courtyard where Tian Mi lived. There was news from the kitchen that half of the porridge and cucumber had been eaten.

Li Xu's wife, Mrs. Han, couldn't help chanting Amitabha, "I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If something happens to our house, from now on..."

"Nothing will happen." Li Xu still had lingering fears when he said this, "I thought it was a small wind and cold, but I didn't expect that it almost killed our family now. Sigh, I don't know when it's time It's also fate."

Both the husband and wife couldn't help sighing, and quickly took a rest when they saw that it was getting late outside, and promised to get up before dawn tomorrow morning.

Sure enough, at dawn the next day, before Kua Dai came with Dr. Zhang, Li Xu received the news again that the fourth elder brother from the capital had brought dozens of riders, and they were heading south from the capital to Suzhou.

The news spread quickly from Li Xu's mouth to Kangxi's ears.Kangxi nodded after hearing this, "Although it is a violation of the ancestor's rules to go out of Beijing without a will, but considering that he is worried about the imperial concubine, it can be regarded as filial piety."

Tian Mi was very ill this time, and even Kangxi felt that she couldn't make it through, so the fourth elder brother in the capital was even more worried. Kangxi could understand the mood of the fourth elder brother going south in the starry night at this time, "Let someone prepare a yard for Yinzhen, Take good care of it then."

Li Xu quickly agreed, and Kangxi stood up to visit Tian Mi.

Tian Mi is hugging Yang Dan distressedly at the moment. Yang Dan was chubby, white and tender, but when he wakes up, he will see that the fat son has lost more than a circle of weight, and after stretching out a pair of small hands, there is no more meat socket. Wo, the double chin is gone, and the eyes are big and scary.

Herring said on the side: "Our elder brother is filial, and has been vegetarian with the emperor for more than half a month."

Tian Mi couldn't help but glared at these people, "What does he know about children, and our family Yang Dan likes to eat meat the most. He can't stop eating meat, egg and milk at a young age. I told you a long time ago." Please forgive him for wronging him. Isn’t it because you guys are instigating me to follow the vegetarian diet now?”

All the eunuchs and maids in the room quickly knelt down, and Yang Dan rolled into Tian Mi's arms coquettishly, "Don't be angry, mother, they said that the vegetarian Bodhisattva is happy, and you will be cured."

Tian Mi quickly put her arms around him, feeling extremely distressed, "It's not like this, life and death are destiny and wealth is in the sky, even if you eat vegetarian food for the rest of your life, Er Niang will leave when it's time to leave..."

Before Tian Mi finished speaking, Yang Dan burst into tears. Tian Mi felt that she might have hurt the child's young heart. For a child who has just started to learn to understand, life and death are definitely difficult to explain Things, if this incident has too much impact on Yang Dan, then Yang Dan will have an instinctive fear of life and death, so Tian Mi quickly put her arms around him to coax him.

Kangxi heard a child crying outside and the eunuch's report at the door, so he couldn't help but go in with a straight face and scold Tian Mi.

"I know nonsense all day long, don't you know that your words will be heard by the gods, sooner or later..." I couldn't swear, I could only snort heavily.

Tian Mi didn't know what to say, until Kua Dai came in with the old doctor, Tian Mi felt that she dared to speak uprightly.

The doctor's diagnosis and treatment naturally depended on seeing, hearing and inquiring. Considering that the old man was too old, Tian Mi didn't hide behind the screen, and let him look at her face and tongue coating, and feel for her pulse.

The last few people went out together, leaving Yang Dan in the room with Tian Mi.

It just so happened that at this time someone announced from outside the door, saying that the fourth elder brother Xingye had rushed over.

Kuadai felt a little happier, feeling that his younger sister finally did not raise this elder brother in vain.

The fourth elder brother was carried over by someone, and the horses were changed without rest along the way. The inner sides of his legs were worn out and bloody. When he got off the horse just now, his legs lost feeling and he fell off the horse.

For a while, my legs were too weak to walk, so I had to let someone carry me to this side.

Seeing him like this, Kangxi completely lost all grievances about him going out of Beijing without purpose, so he asked the eunuch to help him go to the back to greet Tian Mi.

The old doctor still didn't have any sense of superiority or inferiority, so he sat directly in front of Kangxi and explained to Kangxi the prescriptions from the past.He also bluntly said that the last pair of life-saving medicine was caught by someone and turned into a deadly medicine.

Kangxi had already thought about what was going on, and shot at Kua Dai, and Kua Dai asked Mr. Zhang to prescribe a new medicine.

The fourth elder brother didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he was carried by two little eunuchs to Tian Mi. Tian Mi couldn't help feeling sorry for him when he saw his scruffy beard and dusty appearance.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"My son heard that you were ill and couldn't wait for news around the capital, so he took the courage to take people south."

The fourth elder brother was put on the stool, shook his arms and drank half a cup of tea to moisten his throat. Seeing that Er Niang is only weak now and her spirits are still good, this heart is finally relieved.

He accompanied him in a low voice: "You don't know, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the Weaving Mansion, have received the news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing some gold to make gold books and gold seals. The Weaving Mansion is responsible for making auspicious clothes and regular clothes for you, as well as various apparel."

Tian Mi looked at the fourth elder brother in surprise, and thought to herself, what are you doing preparing these things for yourself during the Chinese New Year?

Then I suddenly thought of something very important, that is, the golden book and the golden seal, which was a bit unbelievable. "Isn't it because I think I'm dying, your Huang Ama wants to make me a queen?"

The fourth elder brother nodded. It was also because he heard the gossip that he couldn't wait to go south.Although I really want Erniang to be a queen, if she becomes a queen when she is dying, then this queen is not right.

"I heard that the Ministry of Rites has prepared all the imperial edicts, and my son was terrified, so he hurriedly rode a fast horse for eleven days, all the way from the capital to Suzhou..."

After walking such a long distance in eleven days, Tian Mi felt very distressed, "Hurry up and rest, you also saw that Er Niang is fine now, as long as you two are well, Er Niang will be fine." It'll be fine."

Tian Mi asked the eunuch to quickly help him to rest in the arranged guest room, and then asked someone to prepare bath water and ointment for him.

The fourth elder brother slept for a day and a night at once, and when he woke up from hunger, he found a few people squatting next to him.

He opened his eyes and saw clearly that it was Lao Ba and his three brothers.

"What are you squatting here for?"

"Of course I want to ask you about the affairs in the palace?" Brother Nine put the food on one side of the tray on the small table next to him, and together with Brother Ten he lifted the small table to the couch.

"You sit and eat, Huang Ama won't let you down, she said she wants you to lie on the kang for a few days. Let me ask you, how are my mother-in-law and Fifth Brother Eleven doing?"

The fourth elder brother was not polite, grabbed his chopsticks and began to eat, nodded, "It's good, your mother is fine except for a few times recently, as usual. Your fifth elder brother has been doing errands very well recently, it's his brother-in-law The last time you fought with others in the theater, your fifth brother was so angry that he almost exploded his lungs. Eleven is still the same, and Thirteen and the others run around every day. Do what you did back then."

"What did I do back then? No, tell me who is mad at my mother?"

"What else could you do back then, piss and mud." After the fourth elder brother finished speaking, his eyeballs glanced at Lao Ba, "The one who can make your mother angry is the little Gege who lives in Prince An's Mansion. "

The eighth elder brother is still as gentle as jade, "fourth brother, make it clear, can Guo Luoluo be angry with Yifei?"

"Isn't it? Congratulations, you'll be marrying Fujin when you go back, and brother has already prepared a gift for you. I heard from your fourth sister-in-law that she is a beautiful woman. It is said that she is also well educated and generous."

Lao Ba was a little annoyed because of the fourth prince's light tone, but after thinking about it, the reason why he raised his side Fujin so high was to tell himself that this side Fujin was very good, and Guo Luoluo was in a hurry.After getting anxious, maybe he did some unseemly things, so he made the empress in the palace anxious.

Now he was in a hurry and had no choice but to continue smiling.The eighth man could understand it, and the ninth man could understand it too.

Because he and his starling are going in and out together, at this time, he can only keep his mouth shut and not express any opinions.The tenth elder brother was worried about his younger sister. Seeing that the two elder brothers were silent, he hurriedly asked, "How is Enhe? Is the empress dowager all right?"

The fourth elder brother feels more at ease. The oldest and oldest person in the family is the empress dowager. As a descendant, he should greet her no matter what. Now only the tenth old man can think of her.

"Everything is fine with the Empress Dowager. She is as happy as before, and her kindness is also good. The weather is getting hot, and they will move to live in the garden. When the Fujins outside the palace came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, they all brought There are quite a few little princesses, and Enhe has many playmates, so don't worry about the tenth brother."

The tenth elder brother relaxed, and the eighth elder brother felt that it was meaningless to stay any longer, so he was about to stand up and say goodbye.

At this time, Li Dequan came to preach the decree. It turned out that Kangxi felt that Tian Mi was a bit blessed by God when he woke up. Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he was still willing to attribute certain things to the gods.So I asked the fourth elder brother to prepare, and in a few days, I will thank the gods one by one.

During the whole process, the white dragon fish had to be dressed, and his identity could not be revealed.The fourth elder brother felt that as a son to fulfill his mother's wish, it was natural for him to do his part, so he took over the will.

Elder Brother Shi was also rewarding the gods and Buddhas for the imperial concubine. Kangxi didn't allow him to go out alone. At the beginning, he said that it was not safe outside, and later he said that he was young alone.

The tenth elder brother was thinking, if he went out with the fourth child, Huang Ama might not feel that he was young and insecure.

Thinking of this, he planned to see Huang Ama later.

Flying pigeons in the capital passed the letter, and Kangxi quickly received feedback.One of the apprentices of the old doctor who passed away last year was missing.

And the missing one happened to be the one who accompanied the old doctor to the palace to consult Tian Mi.

"It's missing, I can't find it..." Kangxi handed the note to Kua Dai, "Look at it."

"It should be silenced by others." Kuadai felt something was wrong, "No! This should be a coincidence, everyone knows that the empress has Qi disease, so avoid using medicine in this area, it should be asked by most famous doctors. So high, so..."

This is just a guess, and there is no evidence or witnesses.Kangxi never believed in the theory of coincidence, let alone speculation. The emperor was suspicious and complicated.

When Kuadai was still mumbling there, he had already locked in his heart a few masterminds behind the scenes.And quickly wrote a letter, personally instructing the head of his guards in the letter, no matter how digging three feet, he must find the person. This matter is no longer just a medical accident.Kangxi subconsciously felt that the fact that one of the hands was pushing was definitely a big pustule in the court, and he had to dig it out no matter what.

When Kua Dai came to his senses, Kangxi had already taken a few sips of tea leisurely with a cup in his hand: "It's really a great fortune that my cousin can wake up, and half of my life has come back with me."

Kuadai didn't want to talk about it with him anymore, it sounds nice now, didn't he give up treatment a few days ago?If the empress really passed away unfortunately, the cousin in front of him would definitely feel uncomfortable, that is, it would only be a few months.He is not an old widower who cannot afford a wife among the people, and there are many beauties in the palace.After a year and a half, who still remembers the empress!

In order to avoid the scornful expression on his face being too straightforward, Kuadai was about to change the subject, "I heard that you want to go to Hangzhou again? Hangzhou has gathered a lot of salt merchants now, and it is said that many big merchants have come from other places. I want to see the demeanor of Shengjia."

Kangxi is not interested in making people treat his holy car like a monkey, "I will just tell you quietly..."

"Don't say it, don't say it, if someone finds out, you will accuse me of leaking the secret." Kuadai stood up, "It's been a long time since I've been out, and I should go back to Jinling. Do you have any instructions? If There are no slaves here to go."

"You go to the back and say hello to your cousin before you go."

The two of them went to Tian Mi's recuperating yard together, and Kangxi also expressed his intention to return to the capital on the way.

"It's been a long time since I've been out. There are a lot of things in the capital that I need to go back to solve. You have not been in Jiangnan for a short time. You should go back after a few more years."

Kangxi was completely thinking about his cousins, although life in the south of the Yangtze River was relatively good, and Emperor Tiangao held great power.But the capital is the decision-making center of the policy, and only by entering the capital can we go further.

Now that Kuadai has completed the process from a low-level official to a big official in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a matter of course for him to be transferred to the six departments in a few years in his prime.Moreover, his resume is particularly solid, and he has already competed with those dudes from big families.At that time, this will be another spokesperson for the Tong family.

There are not many people who are missed by Kangxi like this, and those who can be missed by him are all affectionate.Kua Dai shook his head, "Don't worry, the servant doesn't have much achievements, just wait a few more years."

In the room, Tian Mi drank the medicine and was hugging Yang Dan and talking, Yang Dan was complaining to Tian Mi in a childish voice, "Fourth brother didn't take his son out, so he took tenth brother..."

"Hey, you're still young. He went out to fulfill his vow, so you go and suffer."

Kangxi coughed a few times outside, and walked in after the maid lifted the curtain, "How do you talk, the child is pious, and you want to say in front of him that worshiping the Buddha and the Tao is suffering."

Kua Dai hurriedly said hello, Tian Mi stood up to greet Kangxi while asking her brother to get up.

"Sit down and don't move, Kua Dai is leaving, I specially brought him here to say goodbye to you."

Tian Mi couldn't help staying after hearing this, "I haven't met a few times, why are you in a hurry to go back to Jinling? My sister-in-law and the others can't leave, so I leave the child behind and let my sister-in-law and nephews accompany me to the West Lake." Go shopping, you can pick them up when we return to the capital."

It's okay for Kuadai to think about it, as his aunt is watching over him, and his sons won't be treated harshly.Several people talked for a while, Kuadai said his goodbyes, and when he arrived at the street outside Zhizao Mansion, he was about to saddle up and mount his horse when he heard someone yelling, "Master Tong, please stay."

If it was placed elsewhere, Kua Dai would definitely not stop. There are too many Mr. Tong in the capital. In order to avoid embarrassment, if it wasn't for people chasing and shouting, Kua Dai would not turn back.But there are very few officials surnamed Tong in this kind of place, Kua Dai couldn't help but look back, it didn't matter this time, he found Brother Jiu standing behind him.

Kua Dai hurriedly threw the whip to his followers, "So it's Lord Jiu, sorry for my stupid eyes, I didn't see you just now."

"I don't blame you, I just came here. By the way, are you leaving?"

Kuadai rolled his eyes, he had the guts for others not to dare to falsely pass on the imperial decree.Suppressing his voice, he told Brother Nine, "I was scolded by the emperor just now, saying that I have stayed in Suzhou for too long, so I told you not to stay longer and go back to Jinling immediately."

Don't look at this brother Jiu who is young and has a lot of eyes, Kua Dai doesn't want to get in touch with him more to avoid trouble.

Brother Jiu reached out and grabbed Kua Dai's clothes, "Others dare not disobey the imperial decree, don't you? I have heard of your Kua Dai's reputation since I was a child. Let's go for a walk and have a few drinks with my master."

"No, Lord Nine, drinking with you, the emperor will dismantle this servant. The servant was courageous before, because he decided that the matter should not be serious. The emperor is too lazy to argue with this servant. Now he is drinking with you... The emperor said that this servant has led you to hell. It’s okay for you to be an elder brother, the slave has a lot of criminal records, even if he says he’s being wronged, he won’t listen, and it’s easy to beat him when the time comes... don’t go, don’t go.”

"My father told you to go."

"No, the slave is here today. If you pull the slave again, you will be called. You are a decent person, and the slave is a scumbag. Don't let the scumbag of the slave get you down. You step back, the slave will gone."

Seeing that Kua Dai was about to get on the horse, Brother Nine became anxious and pulled him off. Brother Eight asked him to take Kua Dai to a restaurant. After waiting for a long time, he didn't expect that Kua Dai didn't know what to do.

"Come down, starling wants to see you."

Kua Dai would not go to see him anymore, he was in a hurry to get on his horse.Brother Jiu went up and hugged his waist, and couldn't help gnashing his teeth, "Don't your Tong family always treat mynah with respect? Why don't you go when mynah calls you?"

"The slave has received the order, so he will leave in a hurry. Let me tell you something about my brothers. I haven't contacted them for a long time. I don't know what kind of trouble they have made. If you want to blame the elder Blame them, it has nothing to do with slaves."

Brother Nine didn't let go, "No, you have to give Myna face, if you don't give Myna face, you won't give our brother face."

Kua Dai couldn't help having a headache, "My Ninth Master, what's the matter with Eighth Master? The servant is really in a hurry to leave."

Kuadai didn't struggle anymore, he hugged his horse's neck, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is hot, the smell of the horse is not good, Brother Jiu is a pampered little brother, he is becoming more and more tolerant of the smell of the horse Can't live.

Kua Dai tightly hugged the horse's neck, Brother Jiu had no choice but to take a step back and let go, "I heard that your wife's surname is Xi Tara?"

"Oh, yes."

"My mother's family is in the northeast?"

"My old father-in-law hunts for a living, but it's not in Baishan Heishui. The uncle of the slave wife used to be an official under my Ama. Later, my daughter-in-law was eliminated in the first round of the draft, and the two families became in-laws. After her uncle passed away, there are no more officials in the family, why are you asking about this?"

"Mynah wants to inquire. His side Fujin is also surnamed Xi Tala."

"Oh, I don't even have anything to say to the eighth master. I have never been to the old father-in-law's house. When we got married, they sent the slave's daughter-in-law here and got married in the capital. That's right, it's not the slave who gossiped about the old man. At the beginning, for the sake of looking good, the yard where my daughter-in-law was married was bought by my mother-in-law. My father-in-law’s family was poor and dregs. Three lifetimes ago, my daughter-in-law’s uncle was an official. Later, he and my father-in-law When Ma died in battle, the imperial court gave them pensions and silver, but they had no other benefits, and they were at best rich peasants, not even landlords."

Brother Nine thought about it, Mynah's side Fujin family background is not bad, several generations have been officials, Kua Dai's daughter-in-law's natal family is obviously already an ordinary bannerman.Even if they are close relatives, they can't get close with such a status, let alone not.Thinking that the starling probably couldn't find an idea from Kuadai to appease the Sitara family.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go."

Kua Dai hurriedly got on his horse, and ran away with the people with fists in his arms.

Eighth Brother finally waited for the person back, and seeing Ninth Brother coming in by himself, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you meet Kua Dai?"

"I met him. He said that his wife's family was in ruins. My brother thought that he couldn't help myna, so he let him go. Let's talk about this matter back to the capital."

He sat down and poured a cup of tea to drink, Eighth Brother couldn't help looking at Ninth Brother.This younger brother has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very smart. Is it true or false?

"Ninth brother, that's not what my brother meant. My brother wanted to have a drink with Kua Dai, not because Xi Tara drank with him."

Brother Nine understood, "You said it earlier, I thought the starling was for the Xitala family, but I didn't expect it to be for the Tong family. Isn't the Tong family very respectful to the starling?"

"It's because of respect that I have to say a few words to Kua Dai. Otherwise, when I met the Tong family, they thought we didn't care about Kua Dai, and then there would be a misunderstanding."

Eight elder brothers are ambitious and want to take over the Tong family, but he finds that the members of the Tong family are not as united as expected.

Tong Guogang's three sons, Erlundai, as the patriarch and eldest son, respected him very much.As a teacher, Fa Hai didn't get close enough to him. Apart from teaching, he didn't talk about anything else. No problem, he just left with his textbooks in his arms.Compared with other chief masters, this is simply ruthless.

These two are okay, the most benevolent of the Tong family is Kua Dai.Growing up with Huang Ama, she was a first-class guard as soon as she entered the palace.Such a person has almost no intersection with himself.The similarity between these three brothers is that no one is willing to listen to what the brothers say, and if there is trouble, they will fight.This kind of Tong family is equivalent to only one-third of the hands.Why is Eighth Brother willing?

Tong Guowei's room is not as high-profile as Tong Guogang's.The only legitimate son is still planting crops on the estate of the imperial concubine.The two sons of concubines who are already officials, everyone said they are honest people. They are honest and do not seek trouble in the yamen. They have a good attitude towards their colleagues. people.

It's not that the eighth elder brother has never been in contact with them, this brother can only giggle, and when it's his turn to express his opinion, he either has a stomachache or goes back to ask Ama, he is so useless that people want to kick him a few times.

He stood up and watched the fourth elder brother's carriage pass by the restaurant, and carefully calculated how the brothers divided up the power in the court.

Seeing him walking back and forth, Brother Nine couldn't help telling him to sit down, "Don't turn around, I'm making you dizzy. Mynah, what are you thinking?"

"What else can you think about? What will our brothers do in the future? Don't you understand? Now that the brothers have finished eating all the meat, we can hardly even drink soup."

The crown prince divided the big heads, and then the elder brother took away the rest of the big heads. The third, fourth, fifth, and seventh rushed up, ate up all the bits and pieces, and kept nothing for himself.

The benefits are coming to an end, and the eighth elder brother's mentality has collapsed, and no matter how much he persuades himself, he can't calm down.

Why?Why there is nothing in front of me.If there is one less person among them, will they be able to eat meat by themselves?

Brother Nine doesn't understand, anyway, he belongs to the kind who can't get the wheel if he works hard, and can't get the wheel if he doesn't work hard.The fifth elder brother is his own elder brother, he is kind and kind, so it is not impossible to pull the ninth elder brother.

But no one gave Eighth Brother a hand.

This is the reality, the eighth elder brother must plan for himself, and since it is a plan, he must snatch food from the mouths of his brothers.

He sat down again and poured a glass of water for Brother Jiu, "It's getting late, drink it, let's go back after drinking."

Holding the cup, the eighth elder brother excluded the fourth elder brother, the prince, the seventh elder brother, and the fifth elder brother in his heart.

The crown prince is very powerful, the seventh elder brother and fourth elder brother are hard to mess with, and the fifth elder brother is Lao Jiu's real brother, so he is not easy to move.

The rest are the third elder brother and the eldest elder brother.

Big brother had better not move, after all it depends on Concubine Hui's face.Then find the third elder brother, and find the weakest elder brother to replace him. The third brother is the most suitable one. The third child has no skills, but Sanfujin's natal Dong E family is a bit interesting.

The fourth elder brother and the tenth elder brother got out of the car, and the fourth elder brother felt dizzy and dizzy when he got out of the car.The eunuch came up to support him, and the fourth elder brother reached out and patted his forehead. The first few slaps didn't work at all, and finally he patted hard to wake himself up.

The tenth elder brother left long ago, the fourth elder brother looked at the hanging flower gate, and said to the eunuch who was supporting him:

"Let's go, see my mother."

On the way to meet Tianmi, I saw Kangxi taking Yangdan to comment on a flower.

After some greetings, Yang Dan retreated, leaving only Kangxi and the fourth elder brother father and son.

Kangxi walked forward with his hands behind his back, "Are you feeling better?"

"It's much better if you go back to Huang Ama." When he said this, his face was pale, top-heavy, and his words were weak.

"If you want to get back to the way it was before, you need at least ten days and half a month to raise it. In these two days, you will leave for Hangzhou. Your mother is not in good health. Just go to the West Lake to have a look, and then take a boat to the north."

The fourth elder brother didn't speak at the side, but followed silently.The father and son haven't chatted peacefully for a long time. It should be said that they have never chatted with Huang Ama since they grew up.

In recent years, the fourth elder brother has only one impression of the emperor's father, and that is to stand in front of him every time he does something wrong and listen to his eccentric criticism.Even the old nine and ten said yesterday that Huang Ama hadn't praised others recently, and cursing people was a common occurrence.

They are young, and all their memories are of the majesty and majesty of the emperor's father. Those who are older can remember that when they met the emperor's father on the road, he also squatted down lovingly and looked at his son at eye level, and patted his son's little head lovingly.

Kangxi walked for a while with his hands behind his back, talked about the recent arrangement, changed the subject and stood where he was, turned to look at the fourth elder brother, pretending that he didn't see his son's ugly face.

"Your mother-in-law is in trouble this time!"

"Yes, my son thinks so too."

"At the beginning, I thought it was the end of your mother's life, but I didn't expect it to be a man-made disaster instead."

The fourth elder brother raised his head, "Who did it?"

"I don't know. When the guards went to investigate, they had already withdrawn. This matter is left to you. Keep an eye on it. The capital is not peaceful, and the south of the Yangtze River is not peaceful. In a word, the world is not peaceful."

The fourth elder brother nodded and followed Kangxi forward.I thought in my heart that since I wanted to investigate this matter, it would be difficult to find out in the open, so it is better to arrange two groups of people, one in the open and the other in the dark.

But it's easy to say in the open, but in the dark it is indispensable to have silver as a support.

My own money is enough for daily use, but facing this bottomless pit, I am afraid it is not enough.

He followed Kangxi into the small courtyard. Tian Mi's spirit was much better than the previous few days, but she often yawned.Seeing them coming, she automatically passed Kangxi and looked at the fourth elder brother, "This dress is not bad, did you bring it?"

The fourth elder brother drove all the way, how could he believe in changing clothes, this was sent by Li Xu's family.

Seeing that he has grown into a young man, Tian Mi lifted up his clothes and nodded happily, "Since the fourth child is now an adult, Er Niang feels at ease when she sees it. Come here and let Er Niang take a look, what's the matter?" With such a bad complexion, you must be tired. Don’t think that nothing is wrong with you when you are young.
