[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

When Xiao Liu, who was eating the porridge, was humming, and looked at the fourth brother who was calmly feeding the porridge with a spoonful of joy on his face, he became very angry.Touched the aching mouth, the tongue inside was still numb, turned away, unwilling to eat any more.

Yinzhen took a moment to feed, squinted his eyes, "Don't be naughty, you can rest after eating. You will leave early tomorrow morning, but you have to listen to me all the way, otherwise you will be sent back to the palace and handed over to you." It will be handled by Huang Ama."

Xiao Liu snatched the porridge bowl, poured it into his mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and muttered unconvinced, "It's really nice to say, I want to hear a sentence: 'You don't have to listen to me from now on, it's up to you ', it's really difficult, you don't control Xiao Shisan so strictly."

After hearing this, Yinzhen rubbed his long hair that was still loose, and said gently, "You will understand in a few years, my love for Xiao Shisan is like an elder brother's love for a younger brother, but for you It's the kind of feeling that I want to be with each other and grow together. Now I just want to do things in a down-to-earth manner and watch you live in peace and stability."

After finishing speaking, he picked up another bowl of porridge that was no longer hot, and ate it bit by bit.

Xiao Liu turned his eyes to look at the fourth brother, suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, lowered his eyelashes that were gradually stained with water, slowed down the things in his hand, and dug out the leftover porridge bit by bit.

The thoughts in my heart gradually dissipated. Over the years, compared to the other brothers, the fourth brother always seemed stable and full of emotions, but his face was not obvious.

Even when everyone was still a kid, the fourth brother at most just watched indifferently, and the group of people messed up the world, until they were about to cause trouble, and then pulled up one by one.

If Huang Ama asked questions, she would be the first to stand up and accept the crime. It's a pity that there are so many brothers, only Xiao Shisan treats the fourth brother sincerely, and sees the sincerity of the fourth brother's cold face.

So it is very rare to be able to speak out what you want in your heart, Xiao Liu secretly kept the words of the fourth brother in his heart, since the fourth brother wants, just do as he said, it is not difficult.

After finishing the porridge, Yinzhen no longer restrained Xiaoliu, but he was not allowed to run out of the courtyard of the main house, after all, the next thing was a private visit by claiming to be sick.Xiao Liu didn't move away, and when the fourth brother glanced over faintly, he followed his example and looked back, but his temperament was different, Xiao Liu seemed a bit bitter and bitter.

Yinzhen laughed secretly, called old man Wei and Nian Gengyao, pointed to Xiaoliu who was sitting upright, and said,

"I have a secret decree that needs to be investigated and dealt with. I just took advantage of your sixth master's illness to avoid visiting in secret. Old man Wei stayed here, pretending. Anyway, outsiders can't get in, and people inside can't get out. The officers and soldiers outside are just pretending. After I leave, the main force will follow. As for Nian Gengyao, you can ask Ma Zongbing to find such a person. He needs to be solid and reliable, not too clever. It is best to be born and bred by the Yellow River. And there is Arrange for me and fourth master to leave, tonight at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, and me to ride with your sixth master."

After finishing speaking, she slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Liu.Xiao Liu looked at the meaning of the fourth brother's question, and couldn't respond, looking a little stupid.

It wasn't until Old Man Wei couldn't stand it anymore, coughed lowly, and interrupted the eye contact between the two, Xiao Liu nodded indiscriminately, and said repeatedly, "Listen to Brother Si, the arrangement is very good, I will never ride a horse alone again gone."

Yinzhen glanced at him with a half-smile, and joked, "Do you really listen to me? Don't complain that I'm taking too much control? If you insist on doing it alone, you'll be beaten hard."

The old man Wei, who kept his eyebrows down, felt that his heart was beating too fast. If he stayed next to the two masters, he might be about to twitch. pull.

He cursed secretly, "These two masters are flirting, you bastard can listen to it, and when you see the way, you will be scared to death if you are scared to death." With the palm of his hand towards his scalp, he greeted him, and slapped Nian Gengyao, who had a fair face and no beard, back to his senses, and pulled him back together.

After the person left, Yinzhen took him into his arms, kneaded him, and asked what he thought after listening to what the reckless Gongsheng said.

Xiao Liu tilted his head and thought for a while, turned around to avoid the hands rubbing his waist, but he didn't dodge, his face turned red after being rubbed for a while, and he grabbed Fourth Brother's hand and bit his mouth, then calmed down and said,

"The man didn't say anything, but if he couldn't hear the implication, he must have never been in contact with officialdom. He seemed to imply that some officials were colluding to deceive the court and the people.

Thinking about it at first thought it was a bit ridiculous, but there were some clues. I also wanted to ask those river officials why they reached out to ask the court for money every year. The court never treated them badly, but there was still no obvious improvement?

I remember clearly that from Dangshan Mountain in Anhui to Xiashaohaikou, the north and south banks are the key repair sites, but the disasters there are the most serious every year.

If you think in the direction that Gongsheng said, it should mean that some people regard the flood of the Yellow River as a cash cow for making money. "

When Yinzhen heard this, he also stopped his hands, hugged him tightly, and tapped his knuckles. After thinking for a while, he said seriously,

"Well, you know that a few days ago, Huang Ama asked me to supervise the number of rice stored in Beijing, the number of warehouses in various places, and the proportion of grain in various places. I am afraid that Huang Ama has already seen the way, so I let me Continue to check the river yamen."

Xiao Liu jumped up in an instant, put his hands on the fourth brother's shoulders, and exclaimed: "The way? Is it true? I thought I made a big deal out of a molehill."

Yinzhen smiled faintly, "I'm actually very glad that you really listened to those people, but you just lost track of things." Seeing Xiao Liu pouted and wanted to climb down, he quickly hugged her and continued talking,

"You see, if there is always a need to harness the river, money will be lost continuously, and every year the grain that should be transported from the south of the Yangtze River is always delayed because of the river transportation.

This crop of rice has not come, and the next crop is about to grow, so what do you think they will do with the old crop?

The rice grains specially brought in from the localities are exempted from grain taxation. With such a rough calculation, any fool would know how much the court has lost. "

Xiao Liu's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked in shock at the fourth brother whose face was getting darker and darker. After a while, he touched his frowning knot, hugged his neck tightly, and said in a low voice,

"Fourth brother, that's why you checked the river course. Let's go together. I've grown up and can help you share the burden."

Yinzhen's expression became softer, and he rubbed Xiao Liu's mouth and nose affectionately, "Okay, it's just that there is too much money involved, there will inevitably be mistakes, you must listen to me, you know?"

This time Xiaoliu nodded obediently, and didn't say anything out of the ordinary, Yinzhen smiled, hugged her and kissed her.Not long after, Nian Gengyao knocked on the door and came in with two dark-skinned guys named Niudan and the younger one named Shishuan.
