Fujin Courtyard of Siyefu

Shi Yao handed Fujin the tea bowl, "Master, this is the morning tea for Chinese New Year, please try it."

Fujin took a sip slightly, "Well, it's very light. Why haven't I seen Shiyue today? Where has she gone?"

Shiyao's eyes darkened, and she said casually, "Master doesn't know yet? Shiyue's father has been sent to Shanyang County to be the county magistrate. She made some clothes and is about to send them to his father."

Fujin frowned slightly, "Why so suddenly? Is his family connected?"

"This servant doesn't know about it," Shi Yao lowered her head slightly, "However, a few days ago, this servant saw Shiyue go to the East Garden. I don't know if she happened to meet our Lord Belle."

Fujin paused, the tea bowl touched the edge of the table, and the crisp sound was extremely ear-piercing in the room.

East courtyard

Su Wei entered the main room slowly, and the fourth elder brother looked up at him, then lowered his head to read a book.

"Master," Su Wei pursed his lips and rubbed against the fourth elder brother, "Thank you for your help."

"It's just a little effort," said the fourth elder brother, without taking his eyes off the page.

Su Wei was silent for a while, then stretched out his finger to poke the fourth elder brother's arm, "Master, don't be angry, I apologize to you."

The fourth elder brother opened his eyelids to look at Su Wei, "How dare I be angry with Eunuch Su."

Su Wei lowered his shoulders in frustration, "I know I'm ignorant, I know it's so important, I can't say it casually. I just felt uncomfortable at the time, I could help you with whatever you did before, but now—"

"Okay," the fourth elder brother put down the book, stretched out his hand and pulled Su Wei into his arms, "Are you here to apologize to me, or do you want me to coax you? If you hold the master so finely, you are really not afraid of me killing someone Shut up, right?"

Su Wei immediately took off his frustrated face, smiled stupidly, and opened his hands to give the fourth elder brother a bear hug, "I was wrong, I will stop messing around in the future."

The fourth elder brother sighed, patted Su Wei on the back, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's okay to mess around, I like you to mess around, but this is the only thing that is different from the past. You know, when I thought about it, It is like having a knife hanging around my neck. This knife is extremely sharp. Once it falls, no one can escape. Therefore, I must bury this thought deeply, and hide it from time to time, even if it is often , Fu Nai is doing things for me, and I can't let them catch my real intention."

Su Wei rubbed against Si elder brother's neck, and said sullenly, "Then what should I do? I just know."

The fourth elder brother laughed, "Yes, you already know. You are right. I love Xinjue Luo Yinzhen. I can hide it from everyone in the world, but I can't hide it from you. But Xiaowei, listen to me, forget These things. If I look like an idle prince who has no ambitions and is content in the inner house in your eyes, then I may be able to deceive the world."

Su Wei blinked, sighed, and replied "Okay..."

early june

Prince Yu asked the emperor to send his clan relatives to take over the rebuilding of the Dongyue Temple on the grounds of his illness. There was another disturbance in the government and the opposition. The elder brother who had just finished supervising the repair of the Yongding River undoubtedly became the hottest figure.The Suo'etumen refuted one after another, and several grown elder brothers were all pushed before the court.

However, the verbal and verbal swords for several days came to no avail, and the emperor never made a clear statement.Su Wei accompanied the fourth elder brother to court, and every day he could see civil and military officials talking and sighing.

Siyefu

Su Wei sat on the collapsed chair and looked at the ceiling. After wandering for a long time, he murmured to the fourth elder brother, "I don't understand. Why don't we just build a temple? It's different who goes to it? The emperor is worried. You can hand it over to other clans. It's over if you leave it to the prince."

"Things are not that simple," the fourth elder brother flipped through the books on the bookshelf, "Dongyue Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It has a history of more than 300 years and enjoys a high reputation among the people. A fire happened inexplicably the year before last, and most of it was destroyed. The people have power Unkind statement. In order to appease the hearts of the people, Huang Ama specially decreed to extract silver taels from Guangshan Treasury for repairs. Guangshan Treasury is usually responsible for extracting silver from the Ministry of Households and lending it to soldiers of the Eight Banners. It is related to the livelihood of the banner people and is absolutely fat. If you accept the errand of Dongyue Temple, you will be able to get in touch with Guangshan Library, wouldn't the stakes be great?"

"So that's how it is, you can touch silver," Su Wei's eyes lit up.

The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes helplessly, "You only have that little money in your mind. Getting in touch with Guangshanku is equivalent to getting in touch with the livelihood of the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the human relationship is the most important thing."

Su Wei curled his lips, "What kind of human relations, if you have money, you have relations."

Si Ye's study room in the evening

"Master, I got it." Shen Tingzheng cupped his hands and said, "Prince Yu's health is fine. Although the imperial doctor was announced, all the medicines prescribed are tonics for nourishing body and Qi, and there is no specific disease."

The fourth elder brother nodded, "That's good. Prince Yu deserves the most attention from Huang Ama. If he is really sick, we have to visit him."

Fu Nai stood aside, frowned slightly and said, "Master, since Prince Yu is not seriously ill, why did he suddenly abandon this job at Dongyue Temple? Logically speaking, repairing the temple is a free job, let alone related to Guangshan Treasury."

The fourth elder brother bent his lips, "Prince Yu has been up and down in the court for many years, and he has always been principled in doing things. This is something that others are chasing after, and he may not be able to avoid it."

"Then, what's the master's plan?" Chang Lai cupped his hands and asked.

The fourth elder brother looked up at Chang Lai, with a calm expression on his face, "I don't want to join in the fun, let them fight for it."

Four Fujin Courtyard

Shiyue was moving the fabrics in the warehouse of the back house, and Xu'er, who was passing by, hurried in to help, "Sister Shiyue, why are you moving these all by yourself?"

Shiyue patted the ashes on her hands, raised the corners of her mouth, "Fu Jin asked me to clean up the backlog of cloth to see if there are any insects and damp."

Xu'er helped Shiyue lift up a large piece of cotton cloth, and said with a little hesitation, "Sister Shiyue, is Fujin angry with you? I heard from people in the mansion that Fujin hasn't asked you to come in for several days. .”

Shiyue pursed her lips, "Maybe I'm too sloppy in doing things, but Fujin has always been magnanimous, so why would he be angry with me as a slave? He must also want to take this opportunity to exercise me."

"Oh," Xu'er nodded, her eyebrows and eyes curved into a crescent shape, "Then, then I will help my sister, and I will also exercise."

"Thank you, sister Xu'er," Shiyue smiled, "I'll treat you to some snacks later."

In the inner hall, Mother Jiang bowed and handed the account book to Fujin, "Fu Jin, we have a small population in the backyard, and we don't spend much. Most of the money that Lord Baylor asked the accountant to draw is left. You see, it's getting hotter today. Don't ask a tailor to make some new clothes for the young masters, Gege, and elder brother?"

Fujin flipped through two pages of account books, and nodded, "Call someone sometime, I asked Shiyue to go to the warehouse to clean up the fabrics, and I will use all the backlogs from previous years this year, so that the maids and women in the mansion can use them up." Doing a whole body is also a reward since moving to the mansion."

"Hey," Jiang Nanny leaned over, "The master's things are all good things, and the slaves thanked you for the sisters."

Fujin smiled slightly, Jiang Nanny stood up, and said as if thinking of something, "Speaking of which, Miss Shiyue seldom comes to serve in the house recently, but what is not thoughtful that makes Fujin dissatisfied?"

Fujin sighed, "What this slave is most afraid of is lack of greed. If she gets a little limelight, she dares not to take her master seriously. I don't have time to talk to her, let her figure it out on her own."

"Master," Shi Yao stepped into the room, "Master Belle is here."

Fujin looked at Nanny Jiang, stood up quickly, straightened his clothes, and greeted the fourth elder brother, "Greetings, sir."

"Don't be too polite," the fourth elder brother walked into the room with his hands behind his back, "I don't have anything to do today, so I came to see you."

Fujin smiled slightly, "The concubine asked the servant girl to bring Hong Hui here."

The fourth elder brother nodded, Fujin raised his hand, Shi Yao leaned over and walked out the door.

"By the way," the fourth elder brother picked up the tea bowl and scraped off the tea foam, "There is a girl in your room whose father was imprisoned, right? A few days ago, I heard the servants mention it, so I asked the officials to keep it for him. An outsider's quota."

Fujin was stunned for a moment, then quickly leaned over and said, "Let me bother you."

"There's no need to worry about it," the fourth elder brother took a sip of tea, "It's just a matter of saying a word to the people in your room. But why don't you mention it to the master? It's a good thing to say ah."

Fujin smiled, "I was sloppy. Shiyue told me once, but I forgot it when I was busy. Fortunately, Master knew, otherwise it would really delay others."

The fourth elder brother curled his lips, "It can be regarded as an honor for you..."

"Ama," a clear and clear child's voice, accompanied by thumping small steps, a fleshy little person crashed into the arms of the fourth elder brother.

"Hong Hui, messing around again!" Fujin glared at the elder brother.

"Hey," the fourth elder brother hugged Hong Hui, "Boys, you should be naughty."

Hong Hui opened his small mouth, and pressed his small face to the fourth elder brother's face, "Ama, Hong Hui can recite poems now."

"Really? Recite it to Ama," the fourth elder brother put Honghui on the couch.

Honghui stood upright, reciting the song Bright Moonlight in front of the bed.

"Okay, Honghui is really smart," said the fourth elder brother, holding his son in his arms.

Fujin shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't know, this kid is usually very naughty, so he learned this song with great difficulty and shows it off to others all day."

The fourth elder brother smiled, "Honghui is four years old now, so he has to be enlightened. First transfer Chai Yu to him, and next year the Lord will pick two attendants for him, and let him move to the third courtyard."

Fujin's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head slowly, "Yes."

In the evening, seeing off the fourth elder brother, Fujin sighed and sat on the collapsed chair.

Shi Yao brought a bowl of sweet corn cheese, Fujin took it, scooped it up with a spoon, and handed it back, "Go and call Shiyue, I want to drink the jujube milk tea she made."

Shi Yao was taken aback for a moment, and suppressed her jealousy, she slowly lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Evening Forbidden City

A carriage covered with a black curtain drove into the Shenwu Gate, and the driver handed over the pass token of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After checking, the guard guard stared at the carriage for a moment, "Who is in this carriage?"

"It's the eunuch who was sent back," the driver bowed his head.

"Eunuch?" The guard frowned, "Eunuch wants to make a carriage? Open the curtain and let me see!"

"Hey," the coachman stopped the guard's hand, "We have already handed in the token, why bother to check it."

"What are you talking about?" The guard glared at the coachman, "It is my responsibility to check the passing carriages and horses. Do you need to teach me a lesson? Get out of the way!" The guard pushed the driver away, opened the curtain suddenly, but Immediately froze in place.

A stern-faced man held a token of a red dragon with a golden background. The guard felt cold and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I don't know it's a carriage from Yuqing Palace, my lord, please forgive me!"

The curtain was lowered, and the coachman took a look at the trembling guard kneeling on the ground, and led the horse away.

On the carriage, the man holding the token patted the eunuch who was huddled in the corner and said, "Don't be afraid, you can just tell the truth when you see the master, but don't play on your little thoughts at the beginning, you know?"

The eunuch nodded tremblingly, and hugged the package in his arms vigorously, revealing the handle of a wooden water ladle.
