Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin
Chapter 28
Wan Ning found a place to sit down, and looked up and down at the person, "You are like this, do the emperor and Concubine Rong know?"
Who would have thought that it was not someone else who took up the sacks, but the dignified third elder brother Aixinjueluo Yinzhi?
To be honest, Wan Ning was really surprised to find out that it was Yinzhi.
She didn't lie just now, Ama's birthday is coming soon, Ama treats her very well, so she wanted to find some unusual gifts for Ama.
My eldest sister often said that Liuli Street in the outer city is good, and if you have good eyesight, you can find a lot of good things.
According to the eldest sister, Liuli Street is extremely prosperous, and it is often crowded with people.
Wan Ning doesn't like to be crowded around, so she just wants to go out early and come back when she finds what she likes.
It's rare to get up early in the morning, and the surroundings are not so noisy.She opened the car curtain to look at the novelty, and just turned the corner when she saw someone unloading a black glove sack.
According to her temperament, she didn't want to pay attention to it. The person who hit the person was obviously young, and there were still two people who were beaten. Sooner or later, they will be able to turn around and find their own place, so they don't need to be "fussy".
The carriage passed by in a flash, and the people underneath broke free of the sack as she expected.
The good guys turned out to be Wuerzhan and Yunduan.
Wan Ning still knew the virtues of these two people, she must have done something outrageous and was retaliated against.She knew in her heart that with Wu Erzhan's virtue and status, if someone was caught by him, he would definitely not do well.
She didn't like Wuerzhan or Yunduan, so she ordered the driver to turn around and stop at the corner.When someone rushed over, she was pulled into the car.Then he pretended to be nonchalant and deal with the two of them.
Saving people was originally a whim, but she would save the third elder brother.
It's not a matter of a word for the dignified elder brother to teach others, so he doesn't need to use his own glove sack to plot against him early in the morning.
Wan Ning still remembers that she once curiously asked her elder brother what kind of person the elder brother Huang was.
The eldest brother told her that the third elder brother was very knowledgeable, kind-hearted, humble and polite, but he never said that he was so courageous that he dared to cover their sacks by himself.
Not only the elder brother, but the second princess mentioned that the younger brother was timid and too cautious, which made people feel sad.
Hehe, she really wanted the second princess to see it.Is this timid?
People who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble can be covered in sacks.
The third elder brother had a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh, I was discovered by you, what should I do, should I silence it?" He also made a gesture of wiping his neck.
This is not the first time Yin Zhi has seen Wan Ning, but it is the first time that the two of them are so close to each other sitting face to face and talking together.
I still remember that last time, Wan Ning was so bold, scaring away the two brothers Wuerzhan under the guise of the crown prince.He was amazed at her courage at the time.But she didn't show up that time, so it was nothing.
This time, they are actually standing on opposite sides.Wan Ning can also lie and deceive people without changing her face.
Yinzhi had to give her a high look.
Although he admired Wan Ning in his heart, as his sister's friend, he felt that it was necessary for him to remind her.
Not all are harmless.Sometimes kindness is likely to hurt yourself.
The best way to deal with something like this is to ignore it.
She is young and a girl, so no one will say anything even if she is "doing nothing".
It would be better for her to be indifferent.
Wan Ning gave him a gouging look.This third elder brother has such a bad temper that he actually frightened her.
Hugging herself like the third elder brother, Wan Ning felt strange. "Oh, I'm so scared. How about I kick you down now?"
Yinzhi laughed angrily.It's obviously for her own good, why do you feel that she doesn't appreciate it?
Moving his fingers, Yinzhi chose to obey his heart, and reached out to tap her on the head. "ungrateful."
The third elder brother didn't understand why, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Wan Ning.Unconsciously, he treated her with his true face, and was even very sure in his heart that the other party would not betray him.
Yinzhi never knew that he had such a bad taste, and he liked to watch the other party jump when he was angry.He always felt that the way the other party jumped should look good.
It's so good...you can't take your eyes off it.
Realizing that she had misunderstood, Wan Ning felt a little embarrassed.She said seriously: "Don't worry, third elder brother, I won't save everyone. Besides, don't look down on others, I'm also very powerful."
Regardless of her young age, her force value is not weak.As the guard in the mansion, she can handle the siege of two people with ease, and she is not at a disadvantage in one-on-one.
If she added her own 'skills', she would have doubled her confidence.
But there's no need to tell Brother San about this.
After all, the third prince is still an outsider to her.
Seeing the third elder brother closing her eyes and resting her mind, she hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Third elder brother, is it really okay for you to do this?"
Elder Huang can't leave the palace at will, she is very curious about how elder brother San came out, especially because he didn't bring a servant by his side.
Brother Wu Erzhan will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss, if they accidentally find out that the third elder brother is on the head...
Yinzhi understood what she meant, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I asked Khan Ama for instructions yesterday, it's not counted as leaving the palace privately. If there is no evidence, even if Wuerzhan and the others know that I have left the palace, so what? "
"However, I still want to thank Ge Ge for her help."
Elder Brother Huang's life has a track to be traced. He lives in elder brother's house when he is six years old, and he is either going to study in the study or on the way to the study.Get up before dawn every day, and have only one day to rest every month.
Today happened to be the day to rest in the study.
On the rest day, how could Wuerzhan, who used to read in the upper study room, not remember it?
As long as he wasn't caught on the spot, Brother San wasn't worried at all.
Wan Ning burst out laughing, she blinked her eyes and said narrowly: "Brother San's 'hands and eyes reach the sky', even without me, you can escape from their hands. Are you sure you are not embarrassing me when you say 'save'? "
The third elder brother touched his nose uncomfortably. This was his negligence. He underestimated those two people and overestimated himself.Wan Ning said that he had a plan, but in fact he didn't.If Wan Ning hadn't happened to pass by, he might have been caught by Wu Erzhan.
Wuerzhan didn't dare to take his life. It was possible to beat him up or stab Khan Ama directly.
He thought he was good at riding and archery, but he wasn't arrogant enough to deal with two boys who were several years older than him at the same time.
Not wanting to get entangled in this matter, he changed the subject and said simply: "Just now I heard you said that you were going to Liuli Street, and I happened to be planning to go there too. What do you want to buy, I dare not talk about antique calligraphy and paintings. I still have some experience. You don’t have to be polite to me, just take it as a thank you for your rescue just now.”
Brothers of the emperor have learned a lot, including antique appreciation.
The third elder brother likes Wen, and his favorite thing to do in his spare time is to search for ancient books.He has been a frequent visitor to Liuli Street since he knew there was such a place.
He said that he has some experience in antique calligraphy and painting, not bragging, but really talented in this area.Calligraphy and paintings of various famous artists can be seen to be true or false with just a few glances.
Most of the ancient books in San Age's study room were found by him.
Next year will be the year of the big exam. There will be many students coming to the capital. Some of them will sell their calligraphy and paintings as a last resort in order to make a living.Liuli Street is where they go.
Yinzhi said: "The chances of finding good things during the exam are high, but the chances of being cheated are also high. There are mixed fish and dragons in that place. If you go, you'd better bring more guards."
He is not afraid.Elder Brother Huang has countless guards, both open and secret.This time it was because he found Wu Erzhan, he sneaked out from the guards, but Wan Ning was different.
The little girl is cute, harmless to humans and animals, and is the favorite type of traffickers.
Wan Ning realizes later, is Brother San caring about her?
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother San. With Uncle Cai here, I'm not afraid."
Uncle Cai in her mouth is the coachman.Who would have thought that the old man who was cowardly and almost slipped and knelt just now had retreated from the battlefield.
Uncle Cai followed Peng Chun to fight in the north and south for many years, and he was old and had nowhere to go, so Peng Chun brought him back to the Duke's Mansion.
It's just that the old man was stubborn and didn't want to eat free food, so he simply started his old business and worked as a coachman in the house, driving the sons and ladies, and protecting their safety by the way.
The third elder brother wanted to say more, but when he saw the disapproval in Wan Ning's eyes, he stopped talking.
Sometimes it's useless to say more, but it's better to let her suffer a bit.
He promised to be a guide, so Yinzhi would not break his promise.But it was early in the morning, the sky was still early, and Liuli Street was already bustling.
Yin Zhi stretched out one hand to protect Wan Ning from being bumped into.After asking Wan Ning for her opinion, he took her to start from scratch.
Yinzhi explained: "Don't underestimate these street stalls. Most of the stalls here have to sell their property because of their livelihood. The price they sell is much cheaper than that of the shops."
"Secretly tell you, at this time of year, the owners of those shops will send people to search for good things."
Most of the shops around Liuli Street also sell antique calligraphy and paintings. Although there are more authentic works in them, the prices are relatively expensive.
Elder Brother Huang's monthly allowance is limited, and Concubine Rong is a concubine who has just entered the palace, and most of the money she has on hand is rewarded by the emperor.Speaking of rewards, it is still much less than other favored concubines.
He also has an elder sister above him, and when the elder sister gets married as a mother-in-law, she always thinks about giving some dowry.
Yinzhi felt sorry for Eniang, and never asked Concubine Rong for money unless necessary.
Money is limited, and he likes poetry and books very much, so he can only find another way.
This is how Liuli Street came into his eyes.
It was the first time for Wan Ning to come into contact with these things, her big watery eyes were full of curiosity, and the flickering of crow feather-like eyelashes made her feel itchy in her heart, and she became happy unconsciously.
The third elder brother coughed uncomfortably: "What do you want to buy? Do you have a general idea?"
Wan Ning was ignorant, she frowned and thought about it, and said: "Ama likes tigers the most, it would be best if I can buy such paintings."
Many Manchus have their own totem beliefs, Dong E's belief is the tiger, and there are several pictures of tigers hanging in her Ama's study.
Wan Ning explained: "It doesn't matter what masterpieces are from aristocratic families, as long as the paintings are good."
This is what her Ama often said.Therefore, the pictures of tigers in his study include works by famous artists, as well as works by unknown painters.
Undoubtedly, those fierce tigers each have their own demeanor, which is very vivid.
"What do elder brothers like?" She helped her, and Wan Ning wondered if she should send some gifts to thank her.
The third elder brother was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Me? I'm more interested in Han culture."
The culture of the Han family is extensive and profound, and every time he comes into contact with him, he has a heart-to-heart understanding, and he loves it endlessly.
Wan Ning blurted out: "Red sleeves add fragrance." After she finished speaking, she realized that it was wrong to cover her mouth.
The word "Hongxiu Tianxiang" was told to her by the eldest sister.The eldest sister whispered in her ear when she returned from hunting last time.What do you say that the third elder brother has a bad temper, and he will definitely not be able to protect his wife and children.He also said that the third elder brother likes Chinese and is good at reading. In the future, the master must be a person who likes red sleeves to add fragrance and flair.
The eldest sister not only said, but also gave her many examples.Those famous literati have three wives and four concubines, and confidante friends everywhere.
The eldest sister has repeatedly warned that it is best not to marry this kind of person.
Hearing San Age's preferences, this word popped into her mind.After I finished speaking, I deeply regretted it.
The third elder brother is the emperor's elder brother, so it's not her turn to question her.
Yin Zhi's face darkened, and he slapped Wan Ning's head hard, "Who told you these messy things?"
He understands the meaning of adding fragrance to the red sleeves, but the question is how old is Wan Ning.Before the noble daughters of the Qing Dynasty got married, the female elders would teach some knowledge, and it is too early to tell children of how old they are.If you want him to say that this person is obviously uneasy and kind.
Imagining that Wan Ning was being led astray and her temperament changed, the third brother's face became even darker.He said: "Stop interacting with these people in the future, do you hear me?"
After finishing the words, he suddenly realized that he was not familiar with the other party, and the other party might not like to listen to this familiar tone.
That's all, turn around and tell the second sister, let the second sister see who is talking nonsense in front of her.The second sister likes her, and she probably doesn't want to see her being led astray.
Wan Ning sticks out her tongue and looks away in embarrassment.
The third elder brother reacted so strongly, if he knew that the eldest sister was talking about himself, how would he feel?
Because of her guilty conscience, Wan Ning was very obedient in the rest of the journey, and the third elder brother did what she said.
Before they knew it, the two of them wandered around all morning.
Yinzhi still has some ideas.It was the first time I had such a good time with a little girl.It's a pity that he didn't bring much money, and it took a lot of money all morning, and he was about to clean up.
Reluctant to take another look at the pen holder on the booth, he got up regretfully.
"It's getting late, let's go."
Wan Ning bit her lower lip and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon."
She trotted back to the booth, bargained and bought the pen holder for 100 taels of silver.
Pass the things to the third elder brother, "For you. Thank you for your help."
Wan Ning is not short of money, except for the monthly salary, the presents given to her on her birthday every year are left to her for her own use.Knowing that she was going to buy a gift for Peng Chun, Jue Luo gave her another 500 taels of silver to spend.
And her eldest sister, she never knew that her eldest sister had a business mind, and she had saved a small treasury for herself at a young age.As her favorite younger sister, Wan Ning followed her into the stock, and the annual dividend can also be a hundred taels.
Wan Ning has no worries about money and food.The only reason she bought this pen holder was because she found that Brother San liked it very much.
The third elder brother looked at the things delivered to him, and the surprise flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Wan Ning simply stuffed it into his arms. "Look at you helping me choose calligraphy and painting, I didn't say anything. Why is the majestic brother so hypocritical?"
The third elder brother was a little dumbfounded, he was just surprised that she observed carefully and found that he liked this pen holder, how did it become hypocritical in her mouth.
Yinzhi thinks that he can cover up his emotions very well.He has been with the crown prince and elder brother day and night for several years, but the crown prince has not discovered his true temperament, let alone his liking.
Apart from his interest in poetry, who knows what else he likes?
This little girl is obviously the first time to meet him, but she has accurately grasped his preferences.
That's right, Brother San has a collection habit. What he likes most is not collecting calligraphy and paintings, but various pen holders and inkstones.
The pen holder he was looking at was pitch black and dirty, and smelled it carefully.If he smelled it right, it should be made of red sandalwood.
Looking at the flowers and birds depicted on it, it is likely to be an object of the Song Dynasty.
Red sandalwood is inherently precious, plus it has a long history... not to mention its value.
This small pen holder can at least be doubled and sold for thousands of taels.If you meet an expert you like, three or four thousand taels is also possible.
He told Wan Ning everything he knew, and he thought Wan Ning would withdraw her hand immediately, but he just raised her eyebrows and threw it into his arms.
"So what? I don't understand. If it weren't for you, it might have fallen to ashes. Good things should be in the hands of people who understand and like them, so that they can play their value."
She stretched out her hand and patted the third brother's shoulder like a little adult, "I believe in you."
Wan Ning is half a head shorter than Yinzhi, and she stood on tiptoe when she patted her shoulder.
Yinzhi looked at the chubby little hand on his shoulder, um, it looked like freshly peeled spring bamboo shoots, which made his tongue salivate and he wanted to take a bite.
Smiling again, he found that he always had unparalleled patience and tolerance for this little Grid.
He who dislikes being touched the most made an exception for Wan Ning.
Little Ge Ge repeatedly broke his bottom line, but he didn't feel angry.He even felt that this was normal, that the two of them deserved to get along like this.
The third elder brother let out a foul breath, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I would like to thank Wan Ning Gege. Come and not go, Gege gave me such a big gift." He turned his head and looked around, "You wait."
Then he praised several stalls selling calligraphy and painting, and walked up to a peddler who sold jade.
After some picking and picking, I finally chose a safety buckle.
The safety buckle is not big, about the size of two adult fingers.
Yin Zhi leaned into Wan Ning's ear and whispered: "This is a good piece of suet white jade, but it's a pity that it was ruined by someone who doesn't know how to do it. Turn around and cultivate it for good luck."
He had discovered this piece of jade a long time ago, but he didn't make a move because he was not interested in jade.Now I just bought it as a gift for Wan Ning.
Wan Ning has good skin, and suet white jade is the icing on the cake for her.
Of course, the value of this piece of jade is definitely not as good as that of the pen holder. In the end, he took advantage of it.
Who told him that he didn't bring enough money.
Yin Zhi secretly decided to make up for Wan Ning when he got something good in the future.
Wan Ning didn't think the gift was unfair at all, she took it and gestured on her body, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Thank you third brother."
Seeing her happy, the third elder brother became happy, "It's good if you like it. We are familiar with each other. You don't think it's strange to be called third elder brother, and it's not good to be outside. Well, in this way, according to our seniority, you and I should They are brothers and sisters, why don't you just call me cousin."
Jue Luo was the daughter of Man Dahai, Prince Xun, and the great-granddaughter of Nurhachi.Today happens to be Nurhachi's great-grandson.From this point of view, the two belong to the same generation, and the third elder brother is older than Wan Ning, so it makes sense to call her cousin.
Wan Ning was a little hesitant, but then she thought about it, there are so many people out there, so it is inappropriate to call her third brother often.So, he called out softly, "Third Cousin."
The third elder brother who called out 'Third Cousin' was elated, and he said: "You call me brother, and a brother should give you a meeting gift. It's a pity that I didn't bring anything good when I went out today. I'll make it up for you later."
"I know that there is a small shop near here that serves good roast duck. Let's go, third brother will take you there to eat delicious food."
From third cousin to third brother, Wan Ning didn't notice the change.When she heard the food, her eyes lit up, "Where are you? What are you waiting for, let's go." Then she pulled the third elder brother and walked forward. After walking a few steps, she realized that she didn't know the way, and she was embarrassed Putting down the third elder brother's arm, he looked at him expectantly.
The third elder brother had itchy hands and wanted to hit her on the head, but when he looked down and saw the pen holder in his hand, he had to give up. "follow me."
Forget it, such a cute little girl, don't be fooled by him.
Speaking of small shops, the area of this shop is not large, and there are only a dozen tables on the facade, which corresponds to the small characters.But you'd be wrong if you thought it wasn't booming.
It was just time for dinner, and the shop was busy, with more than a dozen tables full of people, and there were still many people queuing up for packing.
Stepping into the small shop, the unique aroma of roast duck rushes into the nostrils.Wan Ning sniffed vigorously, "It smells so good." She happily patted the third elder brother's chest, "Third elder brother, it's interesting."
This brother is good, she recognized it.
Wan Ning patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, third brother, I will cover you in the future, and anyone who troubles you will have trouble with me."
Those who are willing to share food with her are good people, especially this brother who is very appetizing to her.
The third elder brother almost burst out laughing, where did the little girl learn such a messy habit from filming, and she still covers him?She is so small, who is covering who is not sure?
Yinzhi rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly felt that the little girl was a little stupid, and she was showing loyalty by giving something to eat, and she would be deceived in the future.
Forget it, at least I called him brother, at worst he should pay more attention in the future.Take care of the little girl.
Don't dare to say anything else, it's okay to keep her life worry-free.
Wan Ning doesn't know what to eat like others, she likes what she likes, and she won't change just because there is someone else in front of her.Seeing her eating, the third elder brother also whetted his appetite and ate a lot.
Satisfied with wine and food, and the money in his pocket was spent clean, the third elder brother went back to the palace.
He first went to greet Kangxi and report today's schedule.
Kangxi asked him to go to Zhongcui Palace to report his safety after a few words of concern.After the third elder brother left, Kangxi recruited the guards who followed him to inquire about the situation.
There were too many sons who died young, and he still cared about the few sons who managed to survive.The third elder brother went out in addition to the guards who followed him openly and secretly, as well as the dead guards he trained.
These dead soldiers are highly skilled in martial arts, good at tracking, and absolutely loyal to him.
"Tell me, what did the third brother do today, have you ever been bullied?"
In Kangxi's heart, this son is timid and has learned from the past. Even though he has given many guards, he is still afraid that his son will be wronged.
The dark guard had no emotion, so he told out exactly what the third elder brother had done.
When the hidden guard said that the third elder brother left Wuerzhan and Yunduan alone, Kangxi spit out a mouthful of tea. "Who do you think beat up the two boys of Prince An's family?"
He had hallucinations, how could he hear the third child's name.
"Back to the emperor, it's the third elder brother. The third elder brother bought a sack from a peddler, and put it on their heads while the two were drunk." As if he didn't hear the disbelief in the emperor's eyes, the hidden guard still Retelling it sternly.
He was sent by the emperor to protect the third elder brother. Seeing that the third elder brother was about to be chased, he was about to show up to save others, and Wan Ning appeared.
Kangxi listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time, and when the dark guard finished speaking, he smiled and said, "A tiger father has no dog daughter, Peng Chun's daughter is quite courageous. How old is she?"
Liang Jiugong stepped forward and said: "Return to the emperor, Wan Ningge was born in 18 years, six years old."
He also saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so he dared to come forward.
Kangxi snorted softly: "The people in Prince An's Mansion are really living and going back. I don't think they have made any progress except for their temper. They are being played around by two children. How can I trust such a person to hand over the errand to me?" give them."
"It's the third one... It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If you seize the opportunity and kill him with one blow, it's very good, very good."
This is not the first time that Wu Erzhan and the others have bullied the third child. First, they said that the third child was sloppy and blamed Concubine Rong in Prince An's mansion. Then they tripped the third child while hunting, implying that the third child was not worthy of letting them serve.
He can remember everything one by one.Even if they were kicked out of the upper study room, the hatred would not be resolved.
He originally wanted to write it down to the two of them first, and if he had the opportunity to calculate it together with the principal and interest in the future.But I didn't want the third child to come out like this.
Kangxi didn't think that what the third elder brother did was wrong, he was a bit of a villain.
It's called strategy.
Dealing with two bigger than oneself, knowing that there is nothing to do but still rushing forward is foolish.It is the best policy to plan before moving to achieve the goal.
"The old third book is not in vain. Liang Jiugong, you will send the set of Four Books and Five Classics that I used when I was a child to the third elder brother, and you will also give him 1000 taels of silver."
"The dignified elder brother has no money when he goes out, and he is not afraid of being laughed at."
Asking the little girl to pay for the shopping, the youngest would be ashamed, and he felt ashamed.
Why did he give away the pen holder for the third child? Didn't he see that the third child was in distress?
"By the way, I remember that there is still a box of Dongzhu that came in. You have someone send it to the Duke's Mansion in the name of Concubine Rong. Then ask someone to keep an eye on Dian Yunduan and Wuerzhan. Don't let them find out the third child." on the head."
Hmph, if the son is not careful, he, the old man, has to help clean his ass and deal with the aftermath.
He scolded the third elder brother for not doing things well, but he was satisfied in his heart.
At Yinzhi's age, it's hard to do this.
It's just that when he grows up and thinks about this incident in the future, he wonders if he will be embarrassed, and if he will feel ashamed that the dignified elder brother is seen through by the little girl.
"Concubine Rong and Second Princess also sent some money, cloth and jewelry. They are all honest, and they won't say anything even if they don't have enough allowances."
Concubine Rong had given birth to several children for him, and she still held a certain weight in his heart. For this old man who had been with him for many years, he didn't want her to have a hard life.
Especially the second princess, among all the daughters, the one he likes the most is the second princess.
The third elder brother didn't know that the emperor knew what he had done, even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.
Compared with Qianqing Palace, he was more comfortable in Zhongcui Palace. The moment he stepped into the gate of Zhongcui Palace, there was a sincere smile on his face.
"Emiang, Second Sister, I'm back."
Concubine Rong walked out quickly, "Yinzhi is back, hurry up, get tired, sit in the room."
He asked people to take out the good things he had scoured, and he chose two of them, "Emiang, Second Sister, this is for you."
Every time the third elder brother goes out, he will bring gifts to Concubine Rong and the second princess, sometimes novel jewelry, sometimes calligraphy and painting.He didn't know much about jewelry, and most of the time he brought calligraphy and paintings.
Today is no exception.
The second princess opened it and took a look, then looked down at the objects on the table. "What's the point of this pen holder?" She saw the pen holder at a glance.Compared with other calligraphy and painting, this pen holder is simply too ugly.Even if it's ugly, it's also dirty.
The third elder brother picked it up and wiped it carefully, "This is made of rosewood, and the outer layer should be covered by someone to cover up its material. It may be that the inheritance is wrong, and future generations will cherish it if they don't know it." , put it aside to make it a bit dirty."
"But it's okay, I'll pick it up when I go back, and keep it back to its original state."
Elder Brother San still has confidence in this point.
Yinzhi was very careful with the pen holder, the second princess didn't think much about it, she just thought it was of high value and the third brother just liked it.
Just as he was talking, Liang Jiugong came with something.When he explained why he came, Concubine Rong was a little annoyed: "You child, why don't you say you are short of money." She also asked the little girl to advance the money.
Brother San was really embarrassed this time, he never thought that what he had done would be hidden from the emperor, but when Liang Jiugong said it in front of him, he panicked with embarrassment.
The second princess also said: "That's right, we are relatives, are you polite with us?"
She liked Wan Ning very much, and thought that when the two grew up, it would be even better if the third brother could marry Wan Ning.Now, before the horoscope was written, the third brother was humiliated in front of her first.Would Wan Ning feel that their Zhong Zigong was poor?
What if Wan Ning thinks that the third brother can't support the family and looks down on the third brother?
The third elder brother quickly explained: "No, I'm really not short of money. That's right, I didn't expect there to be so many good things over there. No, it's beyond the budget."
Under the angrily glaring of the two, the third elder brother kept talking in a quieter voice, and finally shut up altogether.
Well, he admitted that he couldn't say enough about Er Niang and his sister.
Liang Jiugong smiled the whole time, handed over things clearly, and then he went back.
The second princess opened the box, and seeing the box full of pearls, not only was she not jealous, but said: "This is not enough, I still have a box in my room, good things come in pairs, let's make a pair."
Concubine Rong nodded in agreement, "This girl Wan Ning has a good heart and knows how to save your face. We can't be stingy either. Er Niang still has some clothes materials, and I gave them to her as well."
As one of the four concubines, even if she is at the bottom, Concubine Rong has a lot of good things in her hands.Clothes were made of the worst materials, except for the second princess, she gave most of them to Wan Ning.
Seeing what Er Niang and her sister packed up, the third elder brother was speechless.
I didn't see that the little girl was so attractive to his mother.Then he thought about the little girl's chubby face and watery eyes, and he felt a little relieved.
Even if he ate half an extra bowl of rice today, it's normal for Erniang to like her.
The second princess took the opportunity to get close to the third elder brother, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Wan Ning?"
"How about what?" Third elder brother was puzzled.
The second princess tugged at her, and she simply spoke more bluntly. "You're stupid, you're going to marry Di Fujin sooner or later. Instead of marrying someone who doesn't know what's going on, you might as well marry Wan Ning. She has a good temper, and she gets along well with Emiang. It's a good marriage from God."
The third elder brother twitched the corner of his mouth uncomfortably, and gave his second sister a supercilious look, "Sister, you are really my own sister, brother, I thank you."
He was only a few years old, and his sister began to worry about his life-long affairs.Also God-sent good marriage.
He does not deny that he gets along well with Wan Ning, but it is too early to say this.
Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in his words, the second princess plausibly said, "A good girl should be early, you don't want it, some people want it, and then don't regret it."
In her opinion, there is nothing wrong with it.
Peng Chunjian is in the emperor's heart, and Wan Ning's background is worthy of the prince's successor.The third brother has a good relationship with the prince. Peng Chun has been the prince's teacher. How do you think it is suitable?
This brat, who is she for, doesn't know what's good or what's wrong.
Let's see, when Wan Ning gets older, he will regret it.
Yinzhi felt uncomfortable being watched by the second princess, so he packed up his things and slipped back to Elder Brother's place.
Looking at the pen holder in her hand, Wan Ning's frown and smile appeared in her mind.The third elder brother shook his head quickly, the second sister was really harmful, and he was also stunned.
After parting with the third elder brother, Wan Ning bounced back home.
After entering the inner courtyard, she shouted: "Emiang, I'm back, eldest sister and second sister."
Jue Luo stepped forward and took her hand to check carefully, and he was relieved after making sure that she was fine. "Tell me that you don't know how to bring more people when you go out. Fortunately, it's okay."
Ever since she had twins, Jue Luo has been busy, and the youngest son of the housekeeper cannot do without her.Even if she has a son, Wan Ning is special in her heart, and she always asks if she doesn't see her for a while.
When she learned that Wan Ning was leaving the mansion, she never let go of her heart.At one moment, she was worried about whether Wan Ning brought enough money, and at another moment, she was worried that she would be cheated.
Fidgeting.
But I haven't seen her for a long time, and she has looked out many times.Now that the daughter is back, her heart can finally fall back into her stomach.
Touching his daughter's head, Jue Luo said softly: "You are tired, are you hungry, Er Niang asked someone to cook something delicious for you."
My daughter has a big appetite, and she has to eat a lot in the house. After running for a long time today, she must be tired and hungry.
Wan Ning took a sip of tea by herself and waved her small hand, "Er Niang, I'm not hungry. I came back after eating." She asked the girl to open the paper bag she brought.
Pushing one of them in front of Jueluo with her own hands, "This is roast duck, it's delicious. Do you want to try it, Er Niang?" After speaking, she wrapped it up again, "I still don't want it, it won't taste good if it's cold. I let the kitchen heat up my mother."
Although the third elder brother is thin and weak, he loves to eat meat. According to the third elder brother, this roast duck restaurant is the best in Liuli Street, bar none.
Wan Ning deeply agrees.
Good things have to be shared with family members. When she came back, Wan Ning specially asked the store to pack a few copies and bring them back for everyone to taste.
Thinking of herself, the daughter felt that Luo Shi couldn't be happier.
"Emiang doesn't lack anything in the mansion, but you should pay more attention outside."
Wan Ning nodded again and again, she reached out and took out the things she bought.
"By the way, Er Niang, look at the painting I bought."
Before entering the customs, the Manchu tribes all had their own totem beliefs, and Dong E's belief was the fierce tiger.Peng Chun also has a soft spot for tigers.
Wan Ning bought two paintings, both related to tigers.A pair of "Tiger Down the Mountain" and a picture of a tiger hunting.Although the two paintings are not works of famous artists, they are not of unknown people either.The artist is somewhat famous, so the two paintings cost her 300 taels of silver.
"Tiger Down the Mountain" is a picture of a ferocious adult tiger. The tiger in the painting is very vivid. When you open the picture scroll, a wave of fierceness rushes towards your face.Subconsciously shivering due to lack of concentration.
The hunting pictures are cubs, a group of young tigers are either pounced, bitten or galloped, full of energy.
Regardless of whether the big tiger or the small tiger are full of vitality, this is what Wan Ning likes.
Jue Luo doesn't understand painting, but his face is full of joy. "My son's vision is naturally good. These two paintings cost a lot of money, but you still have enough money, not enough, my mother has more money here." Then he asked people to get the money.
The Jueluo family is in charge of the Duke's mansion, and also manages its own dowry, earning a lot of money every year.
She has no control over the family property of the Duke's Mansion, she has long thought about her dowry, split it into two, half for her two sons, and half for her daughter as a dowry.As for the two concubine daughters, Wan Ke raised her under her knees and gave 2000 taels; Wan Xiu gave 1000 taels, which can be regarded as full of affection.
If you have money, you have confidence, and there is no limit to pampering your daughter.
"Yes, Er Niang, don't worry, if it's not enough, I won't be polite to Er Niang."
Wan Ning has said this sentence countless times.She is not a child, of course her own mother will not be polite.
Wan Ke and Wan Xiu returned home at this time, and when they saw the picture scroll on the table, she praised: "Little sister has good eyesight."
Wan Ke didn't even know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting.Who told her little sister to buy it.The younger sister's vision must be excellent.
Wan Ning turned her head with a smile, "Elder Sister also thinks it's good? It seems that the third elder brother
Who would have thought that it was not someone else who took up the sacks, but the dignified third elder brother Aixinjueluo Yinzhi?
To be honest, Wan Ning was really surprised to find out that it was Yinzhi.
She didn't lie just now, Ama's birthday is coming soon, Ama treats her very well, so she wanted to find some unusual gifts for Ama.
My eldest sister often said that Liuli Street in the outer city is good, and if you have good eyesight, you can find a lot of good things.
According to the eldest sister, Liuli Street is extremely prosperous, and it is often crowded with people.
Wan Ning doesn't like to be crowded around, so she just wants to go out early and come back when she finds what she likes.
It's rare to get up early in the morning, and the surroundings are not so noisy.She opened the car curtain to look at the novelty, and just turned the corner when she saw someone unloading a black glove sack.
According to her temperament, she didn't want to pay attention to it. The person who hit the person was obviously young, and there were still two people who were beaten. Sooner or later, they will be able to turn around and find their own place, so they don't need to be "fussy".
The carriage passed by in a flash, and the people underneath broke free of the sack as she expected.
The good guys turned out to be Wuerzhan and Yunduan.
Wan Ning still knew the virtues of these two people, she must have done something outrageous and was retaliated against.She knew in her heart that with Wu Erzhan's virtue and status, if someone was caught by him, he would definitely not do well.
She didn't like Wuerzhan or Yunduan, so she ordered the driver to turn around and stop at the corner.When someone rushed over, she was pulled into the car.Then he pretended to be nonchalant and deal with the two of them.
Saving people was originally a whim, but she would save the third elder brother.
It's not a matter of a word for the dignified elder brother to teach others, so he doesn't need to use his own glove sack to plot against him early in the morning.
Wan Ning still remembers that she once curiously asked her elder brother what kind of person the elder brother Huang was.
The eldest brother told her that the third elder brother was very knowledgeable, kind-hearted, humble and polite, but he never said that he was so courageous that he dared to cover their sacks by himself.
Not only the elder brother, but the second princess mentioned that the younger brother was timid and too cautious, which made people feel sad.
Hehe, she really wanted the second princess to see it.Is this timid?
People who are timid and afraid of getting into trouble can be covered in sacks.
The third elder brother had a half-smile but not a smile: "Oh, I was discovered by you, what should I do, should I silence it?" He also made a gesture of wiping his neck.
This is not the first time Yin Zhi has seen Wan Ning, but it is the first time that the two of them are so close to each other sitting face to face and talking together.
I still remember that last time, Wan Ning was so bold, scaring away the two brothers Wuerzhan under the guise of the crown prince.He was amazed at her courage at the time.But she didn't show up that time, so it was nothing.
This time, they are actually standing on opposite sides.Wan Ning can also lie and deceive people without changing her face.
Yinzhi had to give her a high look.
Although he admired Wan Ning in his heart, as his sister's friend, he felt that it was necessary for him to remind her.
Not all are harmless.Sometimes kindness is likely to hurt yourself.
The best way to deal with something like this is to ignore it.
She is young and a girl, so no one will say anything even if she is "doing nothing".
It would be better for her to be indifferent.
Wan Ning gave him a gouging look.This third elder brother has such a bad temper that he actually frightened her.
Hugging herself like the third elder brother, Wan Ning felt strange. "Oh, I'm so scared. How about I kick you down now?"
Yinzhi laughed angrily.It's obviously for her own good, why do you feel that she doesn't appreciate it?
Moving his fingers, Yinzhi chose to obey his heart, and reached out to tap her on the head. "ungrateful."
The third elder brother didn't understand why, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw Wan Ning.Unconsciously, he treated her with his true face, and was even very sure in his heart that the other party would not betray him.
Yinzhi never knew that he had such a bad taste, and he liked to watch the other party jump when he was angry.He always felt that the way the other party jumped should look good.
It's so good...you can't take your eyes off it.
Realizing that she had misunderstood, Wan Ning felt a little embarrassed.She said seriously: "Don't worry, third elder brother, I won't save everyone. Besides, don't look down on others, I'm also very powerful."
Regardless of her young age, her force value is not weak.As the guard in the mansion, she can handle the siege of two people with ease, and she is not at a disadvantage in one-on-one.
If she added her own 'skills', she would have doubled her confidence.
But there's no need to tell Brother San about this.
After all, the third prince is still an outsider to her.
Seeing the third elder brother closing her eyes and resting her mind, she hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Third elder brother, is it really okay for you to do this?"
Elder Huang can't leave the palace at will, she is very curious about how elder brother San came out, especially because he didn't bring a servant by his side.
Brother Wu Erzhan will definitely not give up after suffering such a big loss, if they accidentally find out that the third elder brother is on the head...
Yinzhi understood what she meant, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he comforted him: "Don't worry, I asked Khan Ama for instructions yesterday, it's not counted as leaving the palace privately. If there is no evidence, even if Wuerzhan and the others know that I have left the palace, so what? "
"However, I still want to thank Ge Ge for her help."
Elder Brother Huang's life has a track to be traced. He lives in elder brother's house when he is six years old, and he is either going to study in the study or on the way to the study.Get up before dawn every day, and have only one day to rest every month.
Today happened to be the day to rest in the study.
On the rest day, how could Wuerzhan, who used to read in the upper study room, not remember it?
As long as he wasn't caught on the spot, Brother San wasn't worried at all.
Wan Ning burst out laughing, she blinked her eyes and said narrowly: "Brother San's 'hands and eyes reach the sky', even without me, you can escape from their hands. Are you sure you are not embarrassing me when you say 'save'? "
The third elder brother touched his nose uncomfortably. This was his negligence. He underestimated those two people and overestimated himself.Wan Ning said that he had a plan, but in fact he didn't.If Wan Ning hadn't happened to pass by, he might have been caught by Wu Erzhan.
Wuerzhan didn't dare to take his life. It was possible to beat him up or stab Khan Ama directly.
He thought he was good at riding and archery, but he wasn't arrogant enough to deal with two boys who were several years older than him at the same time.
Not wanting to get entangled in this matter, he changed the subject and said simply: "Just now I heard you said that you were going to Liuli Street, and I happened to be planning to go there too. What do you want to buy, I dare not talk about antique calligraphy and paintings. I still have some experience. You don’t have to be polite to me, just take it as a thank you for your rescue just now.”
Brothers of the emperor have learned a lot, including antique appreciation.
The third elder brother likes Wen, and his favorite thing to do in his spare time is to search for ancient books.He has been a frequent visitor to Liuli Street since he knew there was such a place.
He said that he has some experience in antique calligraphy and painting, not bragging, but really talented in this area.Calligraphy and paintings of various famous artists can be seen to be true or false with just a few glances.
Most of the ancient books in San Age's study room were found by him.
Next year will be the year of the big exam. There will be many students coming to the capital. Some of them will sell their calligraphy and paintings as a last resort in order to make a living.Liuli Street is where they go.
Yinzhi said: "The chances of finding good things during the exam are high, but the chances of being cheated are also high. There are mixed fish and dragons in that place. If you go, you'd better bring more guards."
He is not afraid.Elder Brother Huang has countless guards, both open and secret.This time it was because he found Wu Erzhan, he sneaked out from the guards, but Wan Ning was different.
The little girl is cute, harmless to humans and animals, and is the favorite type of traffickers.
Wan Ning realizes later, is Brother San caring about her?
She smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother San. With Uncle Cai here, I'm not afraid."
Uncle Cai in her mouth is the coachman.Who would have thought that the old man who was cowardly and almost slipped and knelt just now had retreated from the battlefield.
Uncle Cai followed Peng Chun to fight in the north and south for many years, and he was old and had nowhere to go, so Peng Chun brought him back to the Duke's Mansion.
It's just that the old man was stubborn and didn't want to eat free food, so he simply started his old business and worked as a coachman in the house, driving the sons and ladies, and protecting their safety by the way.
The third elder brother wanted to say more, but when he saw the disapproval in Wan Ning's eyes, he stopped talking.
Sometimes it's useless to say more, but it's better to let her suffer a bit.
He promised to be a guide, so Yinzhi would not break his promise.But it was early in the morning, the sky was still early, and Liuli Street was already bustling.
Yin Zhi stretched out one hand to protect Wan Ning from being bumped into.After asking Wan Ning for her opinion, he took her to start from scratch.
Yinzhi explained: "Don't underestimate these street stalls. Most of the stalls here have to sell their property because of their livelihood. The price they sell is much cheaper than that of the shops."
"Secretly tell you, at this time of year, the owners of those shops will send people to search for good things."
Most of the shops around Liuli Street also sell antique calligraphy and paintings. Although there are more authentic works in them, the prices are relatively expensive.
Elder Brother Huang's monthly allowance is limited, and Concubine Rong is a concubine who has just entered the palace, and most of the money she has on hand is rewarded by the emperor.Speaking of rewards, it is still much less than other favored concubines.
He also has an elder sister above him, and when the elder sister gets married as a mother-in-law, she always thinks about giving some dowry.
Yinzhi felt sorry for Eniang, and never asked Concubine Rong for money unless necessary.
Money is limited, and he likes poetry and books very much, so he can only find another way.
This is how Liuli Street came into his eyes.
It was the first time for Wan Ning to come into contact with these things, her big watery eyes were full of curiosity, and the flickering of crow feather-like eyelashes made her feel itchy in her heart, and she became happy unconsciously.
The third elder brother coughed uncomfortably: "What do you want to buy? Do you have a general idea?"
Wan Ning was ignorant, she frowned and thought about it, and said: "Ama likes tigers the most, it would be best if I can buy such paintings."
Many Manchus have their own totem beliefs, Dong E's belief is the tiger, and there are several pictures of tigers hanging in her Ama's study.
Wan Ning explained: "It doesn't matter what masterpieces are from aristocratic families, as long as the paintings are good."
This is what her Ama often said.Therefore, the pictures of tigers in his study include works by famous artists, as well as works by unknown painters.
Undoubtedly, those fierce tigers each have their own demeanor, which is very vivid.
"What do elder brothers like?" She helped her, and Wan Ning wondered if she should send some gifts to thank her.
The third elder brother was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Me? I'm more interested in Han culture."
The culture of the Han family is extensive and profound, and every time he comes into contact with him, he has a heart-to-heart understanding, and he loves it endlessly.
Wan Ning blurted out: "Red sleeves add fragrance." After she finished speaking, she realized that it was wrong to cover her mouth.
The word "Hongxiu Tianxiang" was told to her by the eldest sister.The eldest sister whispered in her ear when she returned from hunting last time.What do you say that the third elder brother has a bad temper, and he will definitely not be able to protect his wife and children.He also said that the third elder brother likes Chinese and is good at reading. In the future, the master must be a person who likes red sleeves to add fragrance and flair.
The eldest sister not only said, but also gave her many examples.Those famous literati have three wives and four concubines, and confidante friends everywhere.
The eldest sister has repeatedly warned that it is best not to marry this kind of person.
Hearing San Age's preferences, this word popped into her mind.After I finished speaking, I deeply regretted it.
The third elder brother is the emperor's elder brother, so it's not her turn to question her.
Yin Zhi's face darkened, and he slapped Wan Ning's head hard, "Who told you these messy things?"
He understands the meaning of adding fragrance to the red sleeves, but the question is how old is Wan Ning.Before the noble daughters of the Qing Dynasty got married, the female elders would teach some knowledge, and it is too early to tell children of how old they are.If you want him to say that this person is obviously uneasy and kind.
Imagining that Wan Ning was being led astray and her temperament changed, the third brother's face became even darker.He said: "Stop interacting with these people in the future, do you hear me?"
After finishing the words, he suddenly realized that he was not familiar with the other party, and the other party might not like to listen to this familiar tone.
That's all, turn around and tell the second sister, let the second sister see who is talking nonsense in front of her.The second sister likes her, and she probably doesn't want to see her being led astray.
Wan Ning sticks out her tongue and looks away in embarrassment.
The third elder brother reacted so strongly, if he knew that the eldest sister was talking about himself, how would he feel?
Because of her guilty conscience, Wan Ning was very obedient in the rest of the journey, and the third elder brother did what she said.
Before they knew it, the two of them wandered around all morning.
Yinzhi still has some ideas.It was the first time I had such a good time with a little girl.It's a pity that he didn't bring much money, and it took a lot of money all morning, and he was about to clean up.
Reluctant to take another look at the pen holder on the booth, he got up regretfully.
"It's getting late, let's go."
Wan Ning bit her lower lip and said, "Wait a minute, I'll be fine soon."
She trotted back to the booth, bargained and bought the pen holder for 100 taels of silver.
Pass the things to the third elder brother, "For you. Thank you for your help."
Wan Ning is not short of money, except for the monthly salary, the presents given to her on her birthday every year are left to her for her own use.Knowing that she was going to buy a gift for Peng Chun, Jue Luo gave her another 500 taels of silver to spend.
And her eldest sister, she never knew that her eldest sister had a business mind, and she had saved a small treasury for herself at a young age.As her favorite younger sister, Wan Ning followed her into the stock, and the annual dividend can also be a hundred taels.
Wan Ning has no worries about money and food.The only reason she bought this pen holder was because she found that Brother San liked it very much.
The third elder brother looked at the things delivered to him, and the surprise flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Wan Ning simply stuffed it into his arms. "Look at you helping me choose calligraphy and painting, I didn't say anything. Why is the majestic brother so hypocritical?"
The third elder brother was a little dumbfounded, he was just surprised that she observed carefully and found that he liked this pen holder, how did it become hypocritical in her mouth.
Yinzhi thinks that he can cover up his emotions very well.He has been with the crown prince and elder brother day and night for several years, but the crown prince has not discovered his true temperament, let alone his liking.
Apart from his interest in poetry, who knows what else he likes?
This little girl is obviously the first time to meet him, but she has accurately grasped his preferences.
That's right, Brother San has a collection habit. What he likes most is not collecting calligraphy and paintings, but various pen holders and inkstones.
The pen holder he was looking at was pitch black and dirty, and smelled it carefully.If he smelled it right, it should be made of red sandalwood.
Looking at the flowers and birds depicted on it, it is likely to be an object of the Song Dynasty.
Red sandalwood is inherently precious, plus it has a long history... not to mention its value.
This small pen holder can at least be doubled and sold for thousands of taels.If you meet an expert you like, three or four thousand taels is also possible.
He told Wan Ning everything he knew, and he thought Wan Ning would withdraw her hand immediately, but he just raised her eyebrows and threw it into his arms.
"So what? I don't understand. If it weren't for you, it might have fallen to ashes. Good things should be in the hands of people who understand and like them, so that they can play their value."
She stretched out her hand and patted the third brother's shoulder like a little adult, "I believe in you."
Wan Ning is half a head shorter than Yinzhi, and she stood on tiptoe when she patted her shoulder.
Yinzhi looked at the chubby little hand on his shoulder, um, it looked like freshly peeled spring bamboo shoots, which made his tongue salivate and he wanted to take a bite.
Smiling again, he found that he always had unparalleled patience and tolerance for this little Grid.
He who dislikes being touched the most made an exception for Wan Ning.
Little Ge Ge repeatedly broke his bottom line, but he didn't feel angry.He even felt that this was normal, that the two of them deserved to get along like this.
The third elder brother let out a foul breath, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I would like to thank Wan Ning Gege. Come and not go, Gege gave me such a big gift." He turned his head and looked around, "You wait."
Then he praised several stalls selling calligraphy and painting, and walked up to a peddler who sold jade.
After some picking and picking, I finally chose a safety buckle.
The safety buckle is not big, about the size of two adult fingers.
Yin Zhi leaned into Wan Ning's ear and whispered: "This is a good piece of suet white jade, but it's a pity that it was ruined by someone who doesn't know how to do it. Turn around and cultivate it for good luck."
He had discovered this piece of jade a long time ago, but he didn't make a move because he was not interested in jade.Now I just bought it as a gift for Wan Ning.
Wan Ning has good skin, and suet white jade is the icing on the cake for her.
Of course, the value of this piece of jade is definitely not as good as that of the pen holder. In the end, he took advantage of it.
Who told him that he didn't bring enough money.
Yin Zhi secretly decided to make up for Wan Ning when he got something good in the future.
Wan Ning didn't think the gift was unfair at all, she took it and gestured on her body, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. "Thank you third brother."
Seeing her happy, the third elder brother became happy, "It's good if you like it. We are familiar with each other. You don't think it's strange to be called third elder brother, and it's not good to be outside. Well, in this way, according to our seniority, you and I should They are brothers and sisters, why don't you just call me cousin."
Jue Luo was the daughter of Man Dahai, Prince Xun, and the great-granddaughter of Nurhachi.Today happens to be Nurhachi's great-grandson.From this point of view, the two belong to the same generation, and the third elder brother is older than Wan Ning, so it makes sense to call her cousin.
Wan Ning was a little hesitant, but then she thought about it, there are so many people out there, so it is inappropriate to call her third brother often.So, he called out softly, "Third Cousin."
The third elder brother who called out 'Third Cousin' was elated, and he said: "You call me brother, and a brother should give you a meeting gift. It's a pity that I didn't bring anything good when I went out today. I'll make it up for you later."
"I know that there is a small shop near here that serves good roast duck. Let's go, third brother will take you there to eat delicious food."
From third cousin to third brother, Wan Ning didn't notice the change.When she heard the food, her eyes lit up, "Where are you? What are you waiting for, let's go." Then she pulled the third elder brother and walked forward. After walking a few steps, she realized that she didn't know the way, and she was embarrassed Putting down the third elder brother's arm, he looked at him expectantly.
The third elder brother had itchy hands and wanted to hit her on the head, but when he looked down and saw the pen holder in his hand, he had to give up. "follow me."
Forget it, such a cute little girl, don't be fooled by him.
Speaking of small shops, the area of this shop is not large, and there are only a dozen tables on the facade, which corresponds to the small characters.But you'd be wrong if you thought it wasn't booming.
It was just time for dinner, and the shop was busy, with more than a dozen tables full of people, and there were still many people queuing up for packing.
Stepping into the small shop, the unique aroma of roast duck rushes into the nostrils.Wan Ning sniffed vigorously, "It smells so good." She happily patted the third elder brother's chest, "Third elder brother, it's interesting."
This brother is good, she recognized it.
Wan Ning patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, third brother, I will cover you in the future, and anyone who troubles you will have trouble with me."
Those who are willing to share food with her are good people, especially this brother who is very appetizing to her.
The third elder brother almost burst out laughing, where did the little girl learn such a messy habit from filming, and she still covers him?She is so small, who is covering who is not sure?
Yinzhi rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly felt that the little girl was a little stupid, and she was showing loyalty by giving something to eat, and she would be deceived in the future.
Forget it, at least I called him brother, at worst he should pay more attention in the future.Take care of the little girl.
Don't dare to say anything else, it's okay to keep her life worry-free.
Wan Ning doesn't know what to eat like others, she likes what she likes, and she won't change just because there is someone else in front of her.Seeing her eating, the third elder brother also whetted his appetite and ate a lot.
Satisfied with wine and food, and the money in his pocket was spent clean, the third elder brother went back to the palace.
He first went to greet Kangxi and report today's schedule.
Kangxi asked him to go to Zhongcui Palace to report his safety after a few words of concern.After the third elder brother left, Kangxi recruited the guards who followed him to inquire about the situation.
There were too many sons who died young, and he still cared about the few sons who managed to survive.The third elder brother went out in addition to the guards who followed him openly and secretly, as well as the dead guards he trained.
These dead soldiers are highly skilled in martial arts, good at tracking, and absolutely loyal to him.
"Tell me, what did the third brother do today, have you ever been bullied?"
In Kangxi's heart, this son is timid and has learned from the past. Even though he has given many guards, he is still afraid that his son will be wronged.
The dark guard had no emotion, so he told out exactly what the third elder brother had done.
When the hidden guard said that the third elder brother left Wuerzhan and Yunduan alone, Kangxi spit out a mouthful of tea. "Who do you think beat up the two boys of Prince An's family?"
He had hallucinations, how could he hear the third child's name.
"Back to the emperor, it's the third elder brother. The third elder brother bought a sack from a peddler, and put it on their heads while the two were drunk." As if he didn't hear the disbelief in the emperor's eyes, the hidden guard still Retelling it sternly.
He was sent by the emperor to protect the third elder brother. Seeing that the third elder brother was about to be chased, he was about to show up to save others, and Wan Ning appeared.
Kangxi listened quietly, nodding his head from time to time, and when the dark guard finished speaking, he smiled and said, "A tiger father has no dog daughter, Peng Chun's daughter is quite courageous. How old is she?"
Liang Jiugong stepped forward and said: "Return to the emperor, Wan Ningge was born in 18 years, six years old."
He also saw that the emperor was in a good mood, so he dared to come forward.
Kangxi snorted softly: "The people in Prince An's Mansion are really living and going back. I don't think they have made any progress except for their temper. They are being played around by two children. How can I trust such a person to hand over the errand to me?" give them."
"It's the third one... It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. If you seize the opportunity and kill him with one blow, it's very good, very good."
This is not the first time that Wu Erzhan and the others have bullied the third child. First, they said that the third child was sloppy and blamed Concubine Rong in Prince An's mansion. Then they tripped the third child while hunting, implying that the third child was not worthy of letting them serve.
He can remember everything one by one.Even if they were kicked out of the upper study room, the hatred would not be resolved.
He originally wanted to write it down to the two of them first, and if he had the opportunity to calculate it together with the principal and interest in the future.But I didn't want the third child to come out like this.
Kangxi didn't think that what the third elder brother did was wrong, he was a bit of a villain.
It's called strategy.
Dealing with two bigger than oneself, knowing that there is nothing to do but still rushing forward is foolish.It is the best policy to plan before moving to achieve the goal.
"The old third book is not in vain. Liang Jiugong, you will send the set of Four Books and Five Classics that I used when I was a child to the third elder brother, and you will also give him 1000 taels of silver."
"The dignified elder brother has no money when he goes out, and he is not afraid of being laughed at."
Asking the little girl to pay for the shopping, the youngest would be ashamed, and he felt ashamed.
Why did he give away the pen holder for the third child? Didn't he see that the third child was in distress?
"By the way, I remember that there is still a box of Dongzhu that came in. You have someone send it to the Duke's Mansion in the name of Concubine Rong. Then ask someone to keep an eye on Dian Yunduan and Wuerzhan. Don't let them find out the third child." on the head."
Hmph, if the son is not careful, he, the old man, has to help clean his ass and deal with the aftermath.
He scolded the third elder brother for not doing things well, but he was satisfied in his heart.
At Yinzhi's age, it's hard to do this.
It's just that when he grows up and thinks about this incident in the future, he wonders if he will be embarrassed, and if he will feel ashamed that the dignified elder brother is seen through by the little girl.
"Concubine Rong and Second Princess also sent some money, cloth and jewelry. They are all honest, and they won't say anything even if they don't have enough allowances."
Concubine Rong had given birth to several children for him, and she still held a certain weight in his heart. For this old man who had been with him for many years, he didn't want her to have a hard life.
Especially the second princess, among all the daughters, the one he likes the most is the second princess.
The third elder brother didn't know that the emperor knew what he had done, even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.
Compared with Qianqing Palace, he was more comfortable in Zhongcui Palace. The moment he stepped into the gate of Zhongcui Palace, there was a sincere smile on his face.
"Emiang, Second Sister, I'm back."
Concubine Rong walked out quickly, "Yinzhi is back, hurry up, get tired, sit in the room."
He asked people to take out the good things he had scoured, and he chose two of them, "Emiang, Second Sister, this is for you."
Every time the third elder brother goes out, he will bring gifts to Concubine Rong and the second princess, sometimes novel jewelry, sometimes calligraphy and painting.He didn't know much about jewelry, and most of the time he brought calligraphy and paintings.
Today is no exception.
The second princess opened it and took a look, then looked down at the objects on the table. "What's the point of this pen holder?" She saw the pen holder at a glance.Compared with other calligraphy and painting, this pen holder is simply too ugly.Even if it's ugly, it's also dirty.
The third elder brother picked it up and wiped it carefully, "This is made of rosewood, and the outer layer should be covered by someone to cover up its material. It may be that the inheritance is wrong, and future generations will cherish it if they don't know it." , put it aside to make it a bit dirty."
"But it's okay, I'll pick it up when I go back, and keep it back to its original state."
Elder Brother San still has confidence in this point.
Yinzhi was very careful with the pen holder, the second princess didn't think much about it, she just thought it was of high value and the third brother just liked it.
Just as he was talking, Liang Jiugong came with something.When he explained why he came, Concubine Rong was a little annoyed: "You child, why don't you say you are short of money." She also asked the little girl to advance the money.
Brother San was really embarrassed this time, he never thought that what he had done would be hidden from the emperor, but when Liang Jiugong said it in front of him, he panicked with embarrassment.
The second princess also said: "That's right, we are relatives, are you polite with us?"
She liked Wan Ning very much, and thought that when the two grew up, it would be even better if the third brother could marry Wan Ning.Now, before the horoscope was written, the third brother was humiliated in front of her first.Would Wan Ning feel that their Zhong Zigong was poor?
What if Wan Ning thinks that the third brother can't support the family and looks down on the third brother?
The third elder brother quickly explained: "No, I'm really not short of money. That's right, I didn't expect there to be so many good things over there. No, it's beyond the budget."
Under the angrily glaring of the two, the third elder brother kept talking in a quieter voice, and finally shut up altogether.
Well, he admitted that he couldn't say enough about Er Niang and his sister.
Liang Jiugong smiled the whole time, handed over things clearly, and then he went back.
The second princess opened the box, and seeing the box full of pearls, not only was she not jealous, but said: "This is not enough, I still have a box in my room, good things come in pairs, let's make a pair."
Concubine Rong nodded in agreement, "This girl Wan Ning has a good heart and knows how to save your face. We can't be stingy either. Er Niang still has some clothes materials, and I gave them to her as well."
As one of the four concubines, even if she is at the bottom, Concubine Rong has a lot of good things in her hands.Clothes were made of the worst materials, except for the second princess, she gave most of them to Wan Ning.
Seeing what Er Niang and her sister packed up, the third elder brother was speechless.
I didn't see that the little girl was so attractive to his mother.Then he thought about the little girl's chubby face and watery eyes, and he felt a little relieved.
Even if he ate half an extra bowl of rice today, it's normal for Erniang to like her.
The second princess took the opportunity to get close to the third elder brother, and asked in a low voice, "What do you think of Wan Ning?"
"How about what?" Third elder brother was puzzled.
The second princess tugged at her, and she simply spoke more bluntly. "You're stupid, you're going to marry Di Fujin sooner or later. Instead of marrying someone who doesn't know what's going on, you might as well marry Wan Ning. She has a good temper, and she gets along well with Emiang. It's a good marriage from God."
The third elder brother twitched the corner of his mouth uncomfortably, and gave his second sister a supercilious look, "Sister, you are really my own sister, brother, I thank you."
He was only a few years old, and his sister began to worry about his life-long affairs.Also God-sent good marriage.
He does not deny that he gets along well with Wan Ning, but it is too early to say this.
Pretending not to hear the sarcasm in his words, the second princess plausibly said, "A good girl should be early, you don't want it, some people want it, and then don't regret it."
In her opinion, there is nothing wrong with it.
Peng Chunjian is in the emperor's heart, and Wan Ning's background is worthy of the prince's successor.The third brother has a good relationship with the prince. Peng Chun has been the prince's teacher. How do you think it is suitable?
This brat, who is she for, doesn't know what's good or what's wrong.
Let's see, when Wan Ning gets older, he will regret it.
Yinzhi felt uncomfortable being watched by the second princess, so he packed up his things and slipped back to Elder Brother's place.
Looking at the pen holder in her hand, Wan Ning's frown and smile appeared in her mind.The third elder brother shook his head quickly, the second sister was really harmful, and he was also stunned.
After parting with the third elder brother, Wan Ning bounced back home.
After entering the inner courtyard, she shouted: "Emiang, I'm back, eldest sister and second sister."
Jue Luo stepped forward and took her hand to check carefully, and he was relieved after making sure that she was fine. "Tell me that you don't know how to bring more people when you go out. Fortunately, it's okay."
Ever since she had twins, Jue Luo has been busy, and the youngest son of the housekeeper cannot do without her.Even if she has a son, Wan Ning is special in her heart, and she always asks if she doesn't see her for a while.
When she learned that Wan Ning was leaving the mansion, she never let go of her heart.At one moment, she was worried about whether Wan Ning brought enough money, and at another moment, she was worried that she would be cheated.
Fidgeting.
But I haven't seen her for a long time, and she has looked out many times.Now that the daughter is back, her heart can finally fall back into her stomach.
Touching his daughter's head, Jue Luo said softly: "You are tired, are you hungry, Er Niang asked someone to cook something delicious for you."
My daughter has a big appetite, and she has to eat a lot in the house. After running for a long time today, she must be tired and hungry.
Wan Ning took a sip of tea by herself and waved her small hand, "Er Niang, I'm not hungry. I came back after eating." She asked the girl to open the paper bag she brought.
Pushing one of them in front of Jueluo with her own hands, "This is roast duck, it's delicious. Do you want to try it, Er Niang?" After speaking, she wrapped it up again, "I still don't want it, it won't taste good if it's cold. I let the kitchen heat up my mother."
Although the third elder brother is thin and weak, he loves to eat meat. According to the third elder brother, this roast duck restaurant is the best in Liuli Street, bar none.
Wan Ning deeply agrees.
Good things have to be shared with family members. When she came back, Wan Ning specially asked the store to pack a few copies and bring them back for everyone to taste.
Thinking of herself, the daughter felt that Luo Shi couldn't be happier.
"Emiang doesn't lack anything in the mansion, but you should pay more attention outside."
Wan Ning nodded again and again, she reached out and took out the things she bought.
"By the way, Er Niang, look at the painting I bought."
Before entering the customs, the Manchu tribes all had their own totem beliefs, and Dong E's belief was the fierce tiger.Peng Chun also has a soft spot for tigers.
Wan Ning bought two paintings, both related to tigers.A pair of "Tiger Down the Mountain" and a picture of a tiger hunting.Although the two paintings are not works of famous artists, they are not of unknown people either.The artist is somewhat famous, so the two paintings cost her 300 taels of silver.
"Tiger Down the Mountain" is a picture of a ferocious adult tiger. The tiger in the painting is very vivid. When you open the picture scroll, a wave of fierceness rushes towards your face.Subconsciously shivering due to lack of concentration.
The hunting pictures are cubs, a group of young tigers are either pounced, bitten or galloped, full of energy.
Regardless of whether the big tiger or the small tiger are full of vitality, this is what Wan Ning likes.
Jue Luo doesn't understand painting, but his face is full of joy. "My son's vision is naturally good. These two paintings cost a lot of money, but you still have enough money, not enough, my mother has more money here." Then he asked people to get the money.
The Jueluo family is in charge of the Duke's mansion, and also manages its own dowry, earning a lot of money every year.
She has no control over the family property of the Duke's Mansion, she has long thought about her dowry, split it into two, half for her two sons, and half for her daughter as a dowry.As for the two concubine daughters, Wan Ke raised her under her knees and gave 2000 taels; Wan Xiu gave 1000 taels, which can be regarded as full of affection.
If you have money, you have confidence, and there is no limit to pampering your daughter.
"Yes, Er Niang, don't worry, if it's not enough, I won't be polite to Er Niang."
Wan Ning has said this sentence countless times.She is not a child, of course her own mother will not be polite.
Wan Ke and Wan Xiu returned home at this time, and when they saw the picture scroll on the table, she praised: "Little sister has good eyesight."
Wan Ke didn't even know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting.Who told her little sister to buy it.The younger sister's vision must be excellent.
Wan Ning turned her head with a smile, "Elder Sister also thinks it's good? It seems that the third elder brother
