Sure enough, after a few more days, the list of the accompanying southern tour came out. Among the princes, they were the eldest, the third, the fifth, the seventh, the eighth, the thirteenth, and the fourteenth, except for a few of them. , Yinzuo is also among them.

In the harem, except for the queen who accompanied the queen mother, everyone else stayed in the palace.

On the third day of February, a group of people went south by boat.

I thought it was a very pleasant journey, but I didn't think it was less than two hours after boarding the boat, the old fourteen fell down, his whole body was weak and weak, his face was pale, nauseated, and the symptoms of seasickness were all reflected in his body up.

Yin Zuo had to accompany him in the cabin to take care of him.

"Brother Six, why am I the only one who is seasick?" The 11-year-old, half-grown boy Fourteen was hunched over, lying on his side on the bed, with a sullen tone.

Yin Zuo, who was drawing the scenery along the way for Er Niang, raised his head and glanced at him. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth to answer.

"Perhaps you are what the common people call a 'landlubber'. You are not naturally suitable for going into the water, but I have inquired for you. We are all traveling by boat on this journey. No matter how uncomfortable it is, you will still have to bear it."

The old fourteen was so frightened that he sat up, and hurriedly asked: "Ah? Really? We won't get off the boat? Isn't Huang Ama going to check why the Huanghuai rivers burst their embankments year after year? How can we check if we don't get off the boat?" ?”

Yinzuo casually balled up the ink-stained waste paper and threw it over.

"You dare to talk about Huang Ama! Don't talk nonsense, keep your mouth shut."

Old Fourteen made a grimace, he didn't dare to argue with his favorite Sixth Brother, he lay down again obediently, and opened the ball of waste paper to read.

"Brother Six, isn't this a pretty good painting of yours? Why throw it away? If you don't like it, just give it to me."

His sixth brother's paintings are special. In short, they are different from other people's paintings. They are somewhat similar to Western paintings, but not exactly like them. Anyway, in the eyes of Old Fourteen, his sixth brother is the best in everything he does.

"It was stained with ink, and Er Niang didn't have a chance to come out to see it with her own eyes. She was supposed to take it back for her to see. Of course she can't take it if it's dirty. If you don't mind it, then I'll give it to you."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, brother six, don't rub it again next time, I will keep it, and get someone to frame it when I go back, and keep it as a family heirloom."

Seeing his rare appearance, Yin Zuo was very happy in his heart. Isn't it something to be happy that his work has been recognized by others.

Bang bang bang!

There was a hasty knock on the door, and the footsteps were chaotic, as if a lot of people had gathered.

"Who is it?" Yin Zuo asked loudly.

"It's us, sixth brother, please open the door quickly, let's come and see the fourteenth brother." The voice at the door was the old eighth.

Yin Zuo signaled the servants guarding the door to open the door, only to see that the fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and thirteenth children all came.

The old fourteenth Yinzhen rolled his eyes, he didn't come to see him, they all came to snatch Sixth Brother from him.

"I'm fine. I've read this. Brothers, go back quickly. My room is small, and I'm afraid I can't accommodate so many of you."

The old fourteen didn't give face, and the others were not thin-skinned, and none of them had any intention of leaving.

"The fourteenth brother was joking again. I just came out of Huang Ama's place and asked about you. I asked the trackers who go to sea all the year round. I asked you some medicine to restrain seasickness from them. Try it and see. Can it be better?"

"Thank you mynah." The old fourteen was quite pleasant to this kind and gentle mynah.

"Brother Fourteen, you are welcome. Brother Six is ​​the hardest one. He has been with you these days, and he hasn't even been on the splint." Although the old eighth Yinhu said this to the old fourteenth, his eyes were bright. Looking at his sixth brother who was thinking about him.

Yinzuo smiled, and said to Yinhu: "Xiao Ba has always been meticulous, you are bothering, sit down and talk."

Lao Jiu and Lao Shi moved the fastest, occupying Yinzuo's left and right, the two closest positions, Lao Ba paused, turned around and took a step, and sat down directly opposite Yinzuo.

The others found their seats and sat down. Everyone was in their teens and shared a lot of languages. They shared all the interesting things they saw and heard along the way, and they all competed to show their faces in front of Yinzuo, trying to make him happy. .

Especially Lao Jiu and Lao Shi, who are good at eating, drinking and having fun, are even more vivid and interesting in their descriptions, almost attracting Yin Zuo's attention to them both.

"Hey! My head is dizzy again, brother! Sixth brother! I feel bad!" The neglected old Fourteen began to pretend to be sick.

Yin Zuo hurriedly got up and walked to him, felt his pulse, and checked his symptoms. Ever since the queen and Kangxi suffered serious illnesses in front of Yin Zuo, he secretly followed the imperial doctors to study medicine. He also planted a lot of herbs in his medical books, and helped the queen to take care of her body these years. The medical books are very good.

"It's probably because there is too little air in this room and it's very stuffy. You can't breathe well, so you feel dizzy more and more."

Everyone stood up one after another, and the old eight Yinhu said: "In this case, let's go first, let the fourteenth brother have a good rest, and the sixth brother, don't be tired."

Although Lao Jiu and Lao Ten were reluctant, they always listened to Lao Ba's words, and finally followed him to resign.

"The sixth brother, and the fourteenth brother, we will come back another day."

"Sixth brother, if you have nothing to do, go out and take a breath."

Yin Zuo nodded, and replied: "I will, and you should pay more attention."

After they left, only a while later, the fifth Yinqi came back again.

"Xiao Liu, let Fourteenth Brother rest alone, just go with me to say hello to Mama and Queen Mother, and talk to them."

Yin Zuo looked at Xiao Shishi and nodded.

"Alright, open the door and ventilate the room by the way."

Yinzhen finally stretched out his hand towards the back of his sixth brother, and sat up angrily, but at this moment his head really started to dizzy again, so he had to lie down again.

Hiding in the corner, the old thirteenth Yinxiang saw everything, wrote everything down, went back to his room and wrote a letter, and flew a pigeon to pass the letter to Yinzhen who was guarding the Forbidden City.

A few days later, Li Guangdi, the governor of Zhili, wrote a seal note. The contents of the note were unknown to others, but Kangxi suddenly decided to take a small boat and secretly go first to inspect Gaojiayan, Guirendi and other places south of the Yellow River. .

During the three expeditions to Junggar two years ago, Kangxi found that Yinhu was very good at riding and shooting, so he took him with him on this trip. The eldest son Zhijun Wang Yinti stayed on the boat to protect the queen mother and queen.

Yin Zuo suddenly felt that his surroundings had become extremely quiet. Except for the seasick old fourteen and the quiet old thirteen, the other brothers did not appear again.

"Thirteenth brother, why haven't you seen anyone else recently? What have you been doing?"

Yinxiang lowered his head subconsciously, and replied softly: "The fifth brother is guarding Mama and has no time. The other brothers were all called by the eldest brother, saying that Huang Ama is not here now, and other people have to guard Mama and Huang." For Er Niang's important task, everyone takes turns to patrol to prevent accidents."

Yin Zuo turned a page of the medical book in his hand, nodded, and said, "So that's how it is."

The dying old Fourteen asked wearily, "Then why didn't you go?"

"I, I'm still young..." Old Thirteen's voice was a little unnatural.

Yinzuo rolled up the book in his hand and tapped the old fourteen on the head.

"There are so many people on this boat, so you need a child under the age of 13 to guard you? You still say, look at yourself, you can't even stand upright, how powerful you are on weekdays It's amazing, my martial arts is not high, so the thirteenth brother is naturally here to protect you and me."

Old Thirteen bit his lower lip lightly, looked up at Sixth Brother, and found that he was smiling, as if he knew everything, but he didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, I don't know how Erniang and fourth brother are doing in Beijing. I want to write a letter. Why don't you, Brother Thirteen, send it back for me?"

Yinxiang complied, and said, "Okay! No problem!"

The old Fourteen on the side began to complain very dissatisfied: "Sixth brother, you have been thinking about Yinzhen all day long. He has a dead face, what's so good about it? You are partial!"

"It's called Fourth Brother, no big or small. Fourth Brother just doesn't like to talk. He looks indifferent, but he is actually very caring. The medicine you drink now and the incense you smoke are all prepared by Fourth Brother in advance. No If you talk about him like that, if you continue like this, I will be angry."

"Fourth brother, fourth brother! This is the head office, he calls me the same name, what's wrong with my name? My name is also Yinzhen, sixth brother, you are protecting him too."

Hearing the old fourteen's chirping and complaining, the old thirteen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the sixth brother would find out that he was specially sent by the fourth brother to stare at him, those people who love to pester the sixth brother Now they are all being fired one by one by the fourth brother, and the fourth brother is really him, the most powerful one among these brothers!

Five full days passed before Kangxi joined them.

Everyone finally got off the boat, with their feet on the ground, feeling much more at ease. The old fourteen immediately became full of blood on the spot, tossing around, Yin Zuo was worried, and always went out with him personally.

There is a Hongze Lake here. Because the flood has nowhere to drain, it flooded a large area of ​​houses and farmland around it. The victims who lost their homes huddled by the roadside. Yinzuo and the others also saw someone gnawing bark.

"What are they doing? Why don't they eat rice and eat those things? Could it be better?" Old Fourteen had never seen such a sight.

Yinzuo shook his head and saw a woman crying with a baby in her arms, so she walked forward.

"This young master! Please save him! Save my child, I can be your cow or horse! Please save him!"

"Don't worry, give me the child, and I'll take a look for him first."

After a while, Yinzuo felt relieved a little.

"Fortunately, he was just hungry for a long time and ate some indigestible food, so he didn't have much energy. Just feed him some soft food that he can eat and he will recover slowly."

The woman kowtowed while crying.

"Where can I find any soft food? The wild vegetable roots I fed him just now were found with great difficulty. I beg you to take him away, as long as he can survive, it is also good for you to be your servant." !"

This child was born with a good family name, but was given away by his mother as a servant. This dynasty does not treat lowly family members as human beings. For example, if a slave girl beats a good family member, she will be hanged or even beheaded. If she hurts her master, no matter what. Injured but not injured, all beheaded.

"Brother Six, do you want to take him back? But there are so many children here, you can save one, but you can't save all of them?"

The old fourteen stared vigilantly at the victims who seemed to be planning to surround them, and the old thirteen one left and one right to protect the sixth brother.

"No, let's go back, only one person can save everyone here."

Yinzuo didn't take the child away, but found a few healthy young people from among the victims who had been helping others, took them to the grain store, and bought some grain with all the money he had, and let them go back Distributed to everyone, in order to prevent them from taking it privately, two guards were also sent to accompany it.

As soon as Yin Zuo returned to his residence, he went to find Huang Ama.

"Director Liang, is Huang Ama free right now?"

Liang Jiugong was very friendly, he greeted him with a smile, and asked, "Liu Beile, why are you here now? The emperor is discussing with the governor of water transportation and river channels and other ministers about how to control the river, and I'm afraid there will be no time."

"So that's the case, can I wait here and wait for Huang Ama to come out?" Yinzuo didn't insist on breaking in to make things difficult for others.

"Of course it is possible, but I don't know how long the discussion will last. Why don't you go back and change your clothes to rest, Liubeile. As soon as the emperor is free, the servant will let you know. You see OK?"

Yinzuo accepted his love and agreed.

"Then there will be Manager Laoliang."

"Wherever Liu Baylor is, it's what a slave should do."

"Then I'll go back first."

"Liu Baylor, slow down, take an umbrella and go back, it's starting to rain again now, watch your feet carefully."
