Seventh elder brother's long and faint sigh was like a sharp sword piercing Nalan Xingde's heart fiercely.

Unfortunately, this is only the beginning.

The next person who was shocked was the fifth elder brother Yinqi, or Nalan Xingde.

After all, after hearing that Master Nalan was coming, Yinqi jumped out of the room in a hurry, but he didn't see Nalan Xingde, who was like a shadow, and walked around the yard three times with a puzzled expression on his face: "Yinyou, Where is Master Nalan?"

Nalan Xingde: ......

Yinti was so happy that he was trembling all over. If he hadn't held on to the tree with his hands, he might have fallen to the ground laughing. He tried his best to suppress the overflowing laughter, but occasionally there would be a thumping sound or two.

Yinyou shook his head melancholy.

He sighed: "Master Nalan, do you understand? It's really not that Elder Brother Ben can't recognize you, but that you are really too dark!"

Yinqi: ...?

He followed Yinyou's line of sight, and his eyes fell on the dark figure.

Yin Qi stared at Nalan Xingde.

He was stupefied, his round eyes widened to the extreme at this moment, almost popping out of the eye sockets, and his small mouth was even more rounded, which made people worry that his jaw might dislocate.

Nalan Xingde was expressionless.

Yin Qi observed for a while before he seemed to be sure, and then he jumped up, his face was terrified, and his voice was even sharper as if it could pierce the sky: "Master Nalan!???"

Is it necessary to be so excited?

The hedgehog card Nalan Xingde raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty, and buried the pain in his heart. At the same time, he also greeted the fifth elder brother: "Greetings from Jiushu, how is the fifth elder brother?"

"Very, very good?" Yin Qi was dumbfounded, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock.

Nalan Xingde felt that the best way was to change the subject, so he took advantage of the opportunity to ask about the books the fifth elder brother had read recently, his academic performance, and asked a few questions along the way.

Yin Qi, who regained the teacher's attention, shivered.

He answered a few questions obediently and obediently, and he suddenly came back to his senses when he noticed the contemptuous gaze of his elder brother and seventh younger brother.

Master Nalan is not his master now!

It's just that Yinqi didn't dare to say this to Nalan Xingde, after all, he took a peek and saw the murderous look on Nalan Xingde's dark face...

Woohoo, Master Nalan is so scary!

Yin Qi shivered.He chose to change the subject, and raised his eyebrows at Yinyou: "Haha! Seventh brother! Last time I asked you to change, but you still don't, do you regret it now?"

for what?

Nalan Xingde was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled expression on his face. After seeing the sad appearance of the seventh elder brother, he became more and more puzzled. Countless question marks seemed to overwhelm him.

The gloating Yinyou cast a shadow over him.

He was downcast, listless, and full of disappointment: "Yes, I would have changed it if I knew it earlier."

Yinyou looked at Nalan Xingde sadly.

Who would have thought that Master Nalan would become like this?With a sob, he turned around and took Dai Jiayingshan's hand: "Uncle, uncle, what will you do if you become like this? You are not as good-looking as Master Nalan, if you get tanned... if you get tanned If it's dark..."

Yinyou cried out loudly.

Yin Qi was also sighing beside him, as for the elder brother Yin Ti, who had laughed so hard, covered his stomach and wailed in pain.

Dai Jiayingshan: ......

He didn't smile on his skin, and he held back his words for a long time: "The servant will... work hard."

Yinyou looked at Dai Jiayingshan, then at Nalan Xingde, and felt that there was no hope.

Yin Qi reached out and patted Yin You's shoulder.

He sighed and shook his head, a look of unforeseen lament on his round face.

Who would have thought things would go this far?

Yinyou and Yinqi looked at Nalan Xingde's face together, and at the same time they were so distressed that they couldn't help themselves.

Nalan Xingde touched his cheek, except for the slightly rough texture and a little bit of tanning, he is no different from the past... right?Thinking of the grief-stricken expressions of his brothers, he felt a little bit guilty.

There were too many blows, and Nalan Xingde simply gave up on himself.Isn't it darker?Looking at the elder brother, he recognized himself. He felt that all this was still the problem of the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother.

In the room, after Kangxi finished handling government affairs, he would naturally not forget Nalan Xingde, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Hearing the summons, Nalan Xingde stepped into the room.

It’s just that he was injured again and again, and it’s enough to shock another elder brother—Dad, what do you mean by that?

Nalan Mingzhu who was standing in the room watched eagerly.

His eyes looked at himself, and then fell directly behind him.

Nalan Xingde: ...

Destroy this world!His face was as black as the bottom of a pot (can't be seen), he flicked his sleeve and landed on one knee: "Slave Nalan Xingde pays respects to the emperor."

Nalan Mingzhu's body froze.

He turned around, with a trace of disbelief and shock: "Rong Ruo?"

Kangxi's hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly.

He held back the shock in his heart, and carefully looked at the man in front of him: "...Rong Ruo?"

"...It is the slave."

"..." The room was so quiet that it seemed that no one was there, and it took a long time before there were gasps.

Yinyou, who walked in first, shook his head a few times.

They put their hands behind their backs and sighed, and the meaning in their eyes seemed to be - it's not us who are wrong, it's you who are wrong!

Nalan Xingde wanted to beat someone.

Kangxi seemed to understand why Yinyou and the others walked in with weird expressions just now, but he was also shocked when he saw Nalan Xingde, and he hesitated to speak.

Nalan Xingde was so tanned...

It is much darker than the locals, and the exposed part is extremely dark. If you wrap it in a black cloth and hide in the shadows, no one will be able to find it.

Of course, joking is just joking, and we still have to talk about the business.Kangxi straightened his face, and Nalan Xingde also took out a stack of thick memorials, and presented them to Liang Jiugong with both hands.

Liang Jiugong brought it to the emperor.

Kangxi looked carefully, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became quiet.Nalan Xingde was not in vain in Fuzhou, Fujian. He transformed from a frail scholar to a strong man in the army, not to mention how much suffering he suffered during this period.

The most important thing is Nalan Xingde's responsibilities.

He came to Fuzhou not only to join the army, but also to observe military affairs and visit people's sentiments.Among the memorials he submitted were not only detailed records of sea weather, encounters with pirates, and foreign ships, but also Nalan Xingde's travel notes on Taiwan and other islands.

Many of the contents were seen by Kangxi for the first time.

For example, on Taiwan Island, there are people who immigrated from the mainland, as well as aboriginal people who still live a primitive life and cannot speak well.

Shi Shiji, the fourth son of Shi Lang, Admiral of the navy, was also attacked, and Nalan Xingde accompanied him at that time.The group dealt with the aborigines and searched for local associations (dou) and merchants (ou) who speak the aboriginal language. Now they can finally decide that the aborigines are not allowed to attack those who wear red scarves at will. Similarly, local officials should donate some rice grains and seasonings every year.

Another example is Taiwan Island, which has abundant rainfall and a humid climate. It is rich in various fruits, vegetables and fish resources, and its rice production is no less than that of other parts of the mainland. It can be called a land of abundance.

More than just a compliment.

Nalan Xingde also gave the detailed statistics he has collected in the past two years, and there are even many paintings that he painted himself.

While listening to Nalan Xingde's introduction, Kangxi flipped through it with great interest, Yinyou's eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but tugged at the corner of Kangxi's robe and acted coquettishly: "Ama Khan, my son wants to see it too. "

Kangxi also couldn't help yearning for it.

At the same time, he also had some regrets: "It will take a few days to go there by boat, and this time it is too late."

Fujian is far away from the capital.

Going forward or staying here, I am afraid that if I return to Beijing, I will have the second half of the year.No matter how yearning Kangxi was, he also remembered his responsibility as the emperor, and stuffed the memorial handed in by Nalan Xingde into Yinyou's hand: "I'll show you Rong Ruo's notes and album, we'll talk about it next time."

When will I get it next time?

Yinyou pursed his mouth in dissatisfaction, holding the memorial in his arms, Yinti and Yinqi couldn't help but leaned forward, making the prince Yinreng who was standing beside him a little absent-minded.

Nalan Xingde has too many records.

There are forty or fifty pages just for fruit crops, and there are even more various aquatic products in the following pages.

Yinyou's eyes first fell on the fruit.

The horizontal stem is like a fist, the leaves are prickly, the taste is sweet and sour after peeling, and the juice is rich. It is also known as Shanboluo, also known as pineapple.Nalan Xingde is still registering a sentence: after visiting Guangdong, it has become more common to find mountain dwelling houses, and there are also vendors selling peeled skins along the street.

For another example, there are also fruits such as mango, lotus mist, and carambola, some of which are equally common in mainland China, while others are relatively rare.Nalan Xingde also mentioned that you can go further south by boat to Qiongzhou Prefecture, where the fruits are even more dazzling, and you can enjoy all kinds of aquatic products.

Yinyou's eyes lit up.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the next sentence: Unfortunately, the journey is far away, and the fruit is perishable, so it is difficult to transport it to the capital for the masters to enjoy.

Yinyou: ...

Then what are you doing after writing it out!Yinyou stroked his groaning belly, the resentment in his heart was endless, and he looked at Nalan Xingde in a bad way.

At this moment, there was a grunting sound nearby.

Following the voice, Yinyou found that his elder brother Yinti's expression was not very good either.When I first arrived in Fuzhou City, I was attacked by delicious food before I even had a meal, and everyone's mentality was about to collapse.

Yinyou even felt that Khan Ama handed over the memorial to them... Was it because he was starving because of the delicious food?He looked at the calm Khan Ama, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Kangxi smiled without saying a word.

The conversation between him and Nalan Xingde was still going on, but the content that made people feel ridiculous was skipped, and the content behind it gradually became serious.

For example, the pirates that Nalan Xingde encountered when he went out to sea.

Nalan Xingde had doubts in his heart: "The servant feels that the guns and turrets used by these pirates are no less powerful than those used by naval divisions, and they are well-trained. It really doesn't seem like..."

Kangxi frowned deeply.

With a serious face, he discussed in detail for a while, and then ordered the admiral Shi Lang and others to meet with them tomorrow, and decided to discuss this matter in detail.

After chatting freely for more than an hour, Kangxi asked Nalan Xingde to step down.

Nalan Mingzhu also resigned at the same time.

Thinking that the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, maybe there was a lot of heart-to-heart talk, Kangxi naturally agreed with a wave of his hand.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Nalan Mingzhu sighed.

His tearful eyes could not hide the worry and melancholy between his brows and eyes: "My son...is suffering."

Nalan Xingde's nose soured.

He sniffled, and the lake of peace in his heart was filled with waves.Before Nalan Xingde asked about the situation in Ama's house, Nalan Mingzhu's sigh sounded in his ears: "Ama didn't recognize you before you spoke...Rong Ruo, it wasn't Ama who said Do Fugger and Fulton recognize you when you look like this?"

Nalan Mingzhu patted his son's shoulder heavily.

He was extremely worried: "It doesn't matter, it will take at least five or six years to go to sea... What will it look like when you come back?"

Nalan Mingzhu frowned, looked at her son and sighed.

It took two years for Nalan Xingde to change from a Qingjun scholar to a Montenegro man. In another four, five or six years... Nalan Mingzhu's mind slowly emerged an eight-foot-tall man with a swollen face and a long beard. , the image of a foot shaking the ground came out.

Nalan Pearl was speechless.

His whole body was stained with sadness, Nalan Xingde's veins burst out, and he gritted his teeth: "According to what you said, Ama, my son might become Guan Gong."

Only then did Nalan Mingzhu realize that he had actually said it, and he smiled embarrassingly: "Aren't you also worried, Ama?"

Save yourself the worry!

Nalan Xingde has so many things to say, and he is a bit of a Buddha.

And after the father and son left, Yinyou was still staring at the memorial in a daze!Everything above looks delicious, right?He swallowed, resting his chin in his hands and fantasizing.

Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry.

He stretched out his hand and patted Yinyou's forehead: "Little greedy cat! I will make sure you can eat your fill at the banquet!"

Hmm... right?

I can’t eat it when I return to Beijing, but I can do it now!Having figured it out, Yinyou jumped up: "Khan Ama, my son wants to eat polo, mango, mangosteen..."
