Kangxi 38 years

Holy ride back to Luang in June

The fourth elder brother and the prince went to the suburbs of Beijing to pick him up.

After saluting and greeting, the emperor looked at the fourth elder brother, "Why does the fourth brother look so dark and thin? But is he in good health?"

"Huang Ama is too worried," the fourth elder brother cupped his hands, "my son is in good health, it's just that he has gotten a little tanned from walking around in the village recently."

"That's why," the emperor nodded with a smile, "It's better to get a little tan, to look energetic."

"Huang Ama doesn't know something," the prince continued from the side, "it's so easy for the fourth brother to move around. He spent half a month plowing the land in the village to get this picture."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly, "Farming is a major plan for the people's livelihood. My son is not talented. I want to experience the hard work of the people. I didn't think about it, but I still couldn't bear the fatigue. After three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, the land I plowed was useless." sowing."

The emperor smiled comprehensibly, and seemed extremely relieved, "You are a prince, so it's only natural that you can't afford that crime. It's rare to have this kind of heart. When we look back, let's tour the outside of the Great Wall and let those in charge of Huangzhuang outside the pass teach them to grow food. But good hands."

"Thank you Huang Ama," the fourth elder brother bowed and saluted. Su Wei stood behind the crowd and exhaled. With the emperor's words, the fourth elder brother was out of the cold palace.

When Shengshang returned from his southern tour, the capital was really lively for a while.The elder brothers who were delayed by the relocation of the mansion by the retinue Shengjia before picked a date to officially leave the palace to build the mansion.

Su Wei kept his mouth shut every day, guarding the door of the warehouse, watching the servants carrying out boxes of gold, silver and jade, feeling extremely distressed.The fourth elder brother was free, opened a small vegetable field in the East Garden, and learned to plow the fields every day, and the invitations of several elder brothers were all put aside, and they were all treated so politely that no one else could.

On June [-]th and [-]th, elder brother got married

Before Su Wei crawled out of the bed, his ears were buzzing from the sound of firecrackers.

"Master," Su Weijin walked into the inner hall with his slippers on, where the fourth elder brother was wearing a robe and sitting on the tavern for morning reading, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"

Su Wei pursed his lips, kicked off his shoes, climbed onto the couch, and sat side by side with the fourth elder brother.When the two of them lived together in Su Wei's small courtyard, a lot of rules would be inexplicably lost. Su Wei often stayed upright in bed, and the fourth elder brother would dress and wash by himself in the morning, and then call the servants to serve him when he had breakfast .

"Today is the eighth elder brother's big wedding. Wouldn't it be nice if you don't go ask for a wedding drink?" Su Wei hugged his knees and squinted his eyes, he still didn't wake up too much.

"What's wrong, as long as the gift arrives," the fourth elder brother flipped a page of the book indifferently, "My father and Lao Ba's mansion are next to each other. If they don't communicate with each other, it's enough to be suspected by others. Besides, I refused before." With so many banquets, if you go out at this time, wouldn't you be slapping someone in the mouth?"

Su Wei flattened his mouth, "We're all brothers, why do you count back and forth..."

The fourth elder brother turned to look at him, Su Wei scratched his head listlessly, "Well, when will the master invite the fourteenth elder brother to come? You agreed before."

The fourth elder brother sighed, and threw the book on the kang table, "You ask someone to watch at the door, and when he comes out of Lao Ba's place, he can bring it here."

Su Wei carefully leaned on the fourth elder brother, "This is the eighth elder brother's big wedding, not a party for fun, and the fourteenth elder brother is also a younger brother, so it's not good if you don't go."

The fourth elder brother glanced at Su Wei, "Is he your father, or am I your father? Just help him talk." Su Wei blinked his eyes and gave the fourth elder brother a foolish laugh.

The wedding banquet at the Eighth Lord's Mansion lasted until the next morning, the fourth elder brother was really worried, and sent someone into the Eighth Lord's mansion to pick up the fourteenth elder brother, but they were carried back.

Su Wei looked at the drunk and unconscious Fourteenth Master, and at his fourth elder brother who was as dark as Bao Gong, swallowed in embarrassment, and rushed down to the human way, "Hurry up and carry it into the guest room, let the kitchen prepare Hangover soup!"

In the evening, Elder Fourteen finally woke up after a day's sleep. Su Wei hurried into the guest room after hearing the report, "Oh, my little master, why did you drink so much yesterday?"

Brother Fourteen sat on the bed in a daze, "Everyone drink, myna is getting married, happy, I drank too much before I knew it."

Su Wei put the boots on the fourteenth elder brother, while advising, "The fourth elder brother is angry, you admit your mistake in a moment. Last night when the palace came to ask, the fourth elder brother didn't say anything about you being drunk. Don't stand up to it, or you will be punished if you make trouble with Empress Defei."

Elder Fourteen tilted his head to look at Su Wei, "You are quite smart and courageous, no wonder Fourth Brother values ​​you."

Su Wei smirked twice, "I have served the fourth elder brother for more than ten years, at least I know the master a little bit. If the master cares about you, he will be confused. He always doesn't pay attention to his tone of voice, so don't take it to heart. At least he is your real brother. He must care about you more than anyone else."

"I see," Elder Fourteen stood up and waved his hands casually, "Anyway, I'll just listen to what Fourth Brother says, don't worry about your mother-in-law."

"Okay, okay," Su Wei bowed and sent the fourteenth elder brother into the fourth elder brother's study, and stood outside the door by himself. After a while, there was an angry shout in the room.Su Wei closed his eyes, covered his ears, and chanted Amitabha.

Perhaps, Su Wei's prayers worked, the fourteenth elder brother listened to the persuasion, and the fourth elder brother Ren got angry, and the farce ended.

In July, the emperor made a tour outside the Great Wall, and the fourth elder brother was also on the accompanying list.

After the army left Gubeikou, news suddenly came from the palace that the concubine Zhang Jia died of illness.

The emperor mourned, and decreed that Zhang Jia should be posthumously concubine Min.

The fourth elder brother learned that he was quite worried about the thirteenth elder brother. Concubine Min had only one son in Yinxiang, and the two daughters lived elsewhere. Now that he suddenly lost his mother, how could he bear the grief alone.So he ordered Zhang Bao to return to Beijing and asked Sifu Jin to take care of him more.

Concubine Min's funeral was presided over by Concubine Hui and Concubine De, and all the Fujins also came to the palace to help, and it was quite thoughtful.

The thirteenth elder brother was performing filial piety in the hall, his small face was particularly haggard and pale.

Seeing this, Sifu Jin couldn't bear it, stepped forward and saluted, "Thirteenth Brother, don't be too sad, otherwise Concubine Min will not be able to leave peacefully."

The thirteenth elder brother lowered his head, "Thank you fourth sister-in-law."

Si Fujin sighed softly, "The dead are dead, the living still have to live well. What we can do is limited, and the thirteenth brother has to survive on his own. Your fourth brother is driving with you, and I am very worried about you. Three days a day Write letters over and over to ask, and tell me to take good care of you. If Thirteenth Brother has any needs, just ask me, we are our own family, so don't be polite."

"Yes," the thirteenth elder brother bowed down, "Yinxiang always remembers the fourth brother's concern for Yinxiang. Please rest assured, sister-in-law, Yinxiang will take good care of himself."

"Thirteenth brother," a clear voice sounded from the side, and Yinxiang turned to look at the person coming.

"My thirteenth brother is mourning," Bafujin blessed Yinxiang.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Ba," Yinxiang replied, Bafujin nodded slightly, and Yinxiang stepped aside.

"Hello Sisao", Bafujin turned around and gave Sifujin a deep blessing.

"Siblings are being polite," Si Fujin hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.

Bafujin smiled slightly, "Siblings and sisters are newlyweds, as they should be. Logically speaking, we are sisters-in-law and neighbors, so we shouldn't be saluting to sister-in-law at this time. But younger siblings guessed that during the wedding banquet, there was only this wall separating them. The fourth brother didn't come to ask for a wedding drink, so he should be very quiet. So he didn't dare to come to the door casually, and I hope my sister-in-law will not blame me."

Si Fujin frowned, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I'm worrying too much, Siye's mansion is not only open, but at least it accepts invitations every day. If my brother and sister want to come, just say a word, how can there be no objection?" The reason is welcome. However, now that Concubine Min is mourning, and our fourth master and thirteenth brother have always been close, the atmosphere in this mansion is really dull."

Ba Fujin's eyes flickered, and he lowered his head in a panic, "It's all bad for the younger siblings. It shouldn't be mentioned at this time. Fortunately, my sister-in-law mentioned it."

Sifujin pursed his lips and did not speak again.

On the way back to the mansion, Shiyue asked curiously, "Fujin, does the eighth Fujin blame our fourth master for not attending her wedding today?"

Si Fujin looked at Shiyue, smiled slightly, "You are smart, that's what she meant. One sentence made eight hundred detours, this person is not simple."

Shiyue blinked suspiciously, "But you, why didn't you explain it to Brother Si?"

"What's the use of explaining?" Fujin turned his head and looked out of the car window, "It's as if someone has taken advantage of us. After all, our master is the elder brother, and there is no need to explain to the younger brother whether to go or not. What's more , Grandpa has already expressed his attitude that he does not want to have a deep friendship with the eighth elder brother, so we have to block this road here, so as not to cause trouble to the mansion."

"I understand," Shiyue nodded, her eyes were as clear as water.

On the return journey of the Northern Patrol Army, in the carriage of Si Age

"Yongding River?" Brother Si looked at Fu Nai.

"Yes," Fu Nai nodded, "Since the 37th year of this dynasty, the emperor has ordered the renovation of the plain river. This Yongding River was originally called the Hun River, also known as the Wuding River. It often floods. The Emperor dug a new river channel and established a new river. The temple was given the name Yongding River. Now the Yongding River is building its embankment, but the water volume has increased recently, so I’m afraid we need to send more people.”

The fourth elder brother frowned and thought for a moment, "If the water volume increases, it must be too late to hire civilians. Huang Ama should send Eight Banners soldiers to help repair."

"I think so too," Fu Nai bowed his head. "Brother has already asked someone to draw a picture of the Yongding River. He must want to take this job. However, the crown prince has been in charge of the country one after another, and his momentum is getting stronger. It will easily let big brother succeed."

The fourth elder brother sighed and leaned back, "You can't fight for everything on your own. Most of the time, it depends on the wishes of the superior..."

When Luan drove to the suburbs of Beijing, the emperor called the prince and ministers to discuss the matter of Yongding River.

The elder brother presented the Yongding River map, the emperor flipped it over, nodded and said, "Yinyi is very attentive."

Suo'etu stepped forward and said, "I would like to inform the Holy Majesty that to build the embankment, you should choose a minister who is familiar with water affairs. The elder brother has a river map, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on the important task."

The third elder brother agreed, "My son heard that the Yongding River God is said to be manic, and should be suppressed by heaven and man. The crown prince is the heir, if he can personally go to the river embankment to supervise the project, he will surely get twice the result with half the effort."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then turned to look at the fourth elder brother, "Yinzhen, what do you think?"

The fourth elder brother pursed his lips, bowed his head and said, "My son is not talented, and I am quite unfamiliar with the repair of the river, so I dare not make any inferences."

The emperor frowned, "Then learn more from now on, the river project is also a great plan for the people."

"Yes," said the fourth prince, clasping his hands.

The emperor pressed his eyebrows, "Let's come here today, the matter of Yongding River will be discussed in the palace, Yinzhen will stay here, you all go out."
