Kangxi forty-three years quietly came in the tragedy of the women in the fourth master's mansion, and Erfu didn't want to return to the mansion from the bottom of her heart, especially when she thought of Qianlong's concubine Xi Concubine Niu Hulu who would appear this year and the eldest brother Honghui who was going to hang up this year, she was even more depressed.

However, regardless of whether Erfu was willing or not, she could not refuse this kind of bitter arrangement and setting, and could only fight since the Chinese New Year's Eve passed, and began to sternly tell the maids and concubines in the courtyard to be vigilant, and not to go out lightly, if it is not necessary, even the face of the main courtyard.

Although Yuqing and the others didn't quite understand Erfu's request, they also felt that the atmosphere in the main courtyard had not been very good recently, and they were silently more wary of the group in the main courtyard and the Li family's East Courtyard.

In such a strange atmosphere, the fourth master's mansion has reached a strange calm, so that the fourth master feels that every time he enters the inner courtyard, he is faintly aware of the calm before the storm, fortunately, the fourth master has been valued by Kangxi Ye recently, and the burden on his body is getting heavier and heavier, and the time to enter the inner courtyard is getting less and less.

The body of the Ulanala clan was not very good, and because of that calculation, he was completely injured, and he had been sick and nested in the room, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old suddenly. Every time I go to ask Concubine De Niangniang to say goodbye, she looks a little older than Concubine De Niangniang, and from time to time she coughs for a long time because of a small wind blowing, which makes Concubine De Niangniang very worried that it will make the eldest brother who is less than one year old in the old fourteen families get sick, so she makes the decision to exempt the Wulanala clan from asking for peace on the first and fifteenth days of the new year every day.

But in the eyes of the Wulanala clan, it is not a good thing, and even with it, I feel that Concubine De is not dedicated to taking care of Honghui, and let Mama Fu around her follow Honghui into the palace every day. But she didn't want this scene to fall on Concubine De's heart, so that Concubine De's mother was less worried about Honghui, who she originally liked. A heart is placed on the little brother who was added to the fourteenth master's side in September.

After the fourth master knew about this, he took advantage of the time when he entered the palace to ask Concubine De to say goodbye. But because the two mother and son are not particularly close, and there is a doting little son like the Fourteenth Master who is a concubine, the fourth master also feels that the blessed mother can be more at ease, and leaves this matter behind.

And Erfu plays with small buns in the yard every day, but she has a lot of fun, and she sees Honghui's energetic appearance several times, but she feels that her butterfly has changed the course of history, so she doesn't think about it, although she will remind herself to be careful. But it's more about letting go, but it's a little more motherly, which makes the fourth master, who lacks his mother's care, feel that Erfu is a good mother.

Kangxi forty-three years, the end of February.

When the fourth master entered the inner courtyard, there were fewer and fewer, and his face became more and more ugly, Erfu could only explain to the people around him again to serve carefully, and asked the fourth master inside and outside the words, and finally only got the fourth master's words "Shandong has suffered a disaster, and Beijing is not peaceful". It made Delph even more confused.

More than ten days have passed, and the fourth master's face is still so ugly, it can be seen that the disaster situation is severe, and Erfu took out the private house that had been saved for several years. There were three hundred taels of silver and more than two thousand taels of silver tickets, and they were all packed in a black lacquer and gold, looking at the empty space where the fourth master sat down to drink tea and rest. With a little twist, he came to the fourth master.

"Master, I've heard the maids who have gone out. Refugees from Shandong and other places have entered the city, and I wonder if I can take some silver out and make a porridge shop to give porridge for disaster relief. I guess I've done my part for those poor people!" said Erph, with some trepidation.

Because she didn't know what it would mean to fall into the eyes of the fourth master by doing this, but she ate delicious food every day, and she always felt guilty when she thought of those displaced refugees. If she didn't do something, she would be unable to eat or sleep.

"Why do you think that?" The fourth master didn't think that Erfu had any bad intentions, or other thoughts, after all, a few years was enough time for the fourth master to see Erfu's temperament clearly, and at this time, he saw Erfu walking in with a box, just as she was encouraged by what she said.

Erfu scratched her sideburns, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "To tell you the truth, I'm afraid that my lord will laugh at me, but when I think of those displaced refugees, I feel uncomfortable.

In addition, I felt uncomfortable when I heard from the girl next to me that the bark of the trees on the side of the road had been eaten by the refugees, and that the outer city was full of people who were not clothed, and that many people had died because they had no money to see a doctor. ”

"Silly girl, these things are done by men, you just have to take care of Xiao Qi. But since you're willing to do something for them, then take it, don't think about it.

Huang Ama is a capable person, naturally he will not watch those hungry people starve to death and die of disease, and now he has organized people to open porridge shops to help the victims, and even those imperial doctors who are pampered on weekdays have also set up sheds in the outer city, trying their best to treat the sick and hungry people.

Ye has also purchased a lot of food, but he is a little annoyed with those profiteers who took advantage of the famine to make a fortune, and now the food on the market has been hoarded, and they can't be forced to take it out, so they will always have a bitter face!"

Erfu finally showed a smile, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Master, I understand that you are worried about those who are affected by the disaster, but you can't be too impulsive, and you must be gentle in your means, lest those individuals take out money and get benefits, but you want to carry the infamy, I am reluctant!"

"If you can let those people do their part, you would rather bear the infamy, but unfortunately those profiteers are the masters who sacrifice their lives and don't give up their money, if they don't come out with those means that make them jealous, I'm afraid they won't spit out a single son or a grain of rice.

Now it's not just the profiteers who are like this, but even some courtiers are involved......" The fourth master felt that the topic was a little far away, sighed, swallowed everything he wanted to say back into his stomach, and went back to the front yard with the box that Erfu took out.

Erfu looked at the straight back of the fourth master, and felt distressed in her heart. The fourth master is a good person, but he is not good at expressing himself, so that all those bad people have stepped on his head, because he is forbearant everywhere, and he is often angry and has a stomachache. And I can only suppress the fire again and again, and it has only been three months since the New Year. She had already seen that the fourth master had lost a lot of weight, making her body not very strong. It seems even more weak, but such a man has supported so many difficult drudgeries.

Sometimes, Erfu often resents Kangxi, he is a wise man through the ages, but he is not a qualified father, he used to pamper the second elder brother Yinren from the queen, ignoring several sons of about the same size, and now he pampers his younger son. deliberately ignored the adult sons who had worked hard over the years, and even married all his daughters to Mongolia to appease his allies, but he didn't consider the truth about the early death of his daughters.

She didn't believe that those Gege, who were all in high spirits in Beijing, fell ill as soon as they arrived in Mongolia, and died without even leaving an heir. If there is the support of Emperor Kangxi, why are those who marry out so miserable.

Erfu didn't want such a love to surround her all the time, but when she thought of Kangxi's sacrificial daughters, she was worried that her Xiaoqi would also have such an experience, she was a mother. She is just a mother, she is reluctant to marry her daughter far away, and she doesn't want her daughter to die at a young age, even if she marries in the scenery. She didn't want to.

In her mind, her daughter should find a man she likes, and the other party likes her. The two of them lived their lives without saying that Qin Se and Ming gave birth to a bunch of small buns. It should also be a happy life. She prayed that because of her butterfly, she could affect Kangxi and let him hang a few years earlier. After all, if you look at the course of history, when her daughter became an adult, the fourth master was still just a prince and had no ability to decide her daughter's future.

However, this qiē is still too far, Erfu, a guy who believes that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, just sat and was stunned for a while, planning to push these troubles to the capable fourth master, so he got up and continued to tease the buns, so that Yuqing and the others who were waiting next to him had a feeling of dancing the play.

The calamity is like fire, and only ordinary people are the ones who suffer.

The fourth master took the box given by Erfu, returned to the study and opened it, his eyes blinked and blinked, and he counted it three times carefully, which allowed Su Peisheng to put the box away, after all, he was a prince, and he must not go to disaster relief before Kangxi Ye gave the order. Otherwise, in the eyes of those who have a heart, it is hard to guarantee that he will not say that he is winning over the people, although he is worried about the people affected by the disaster, but he can only do it in a hurry.

Thinking of Erfu taking out so much silver, it was definitely not only her own money every month, but probably even the income of the shop and Zhuangzi in the dowry, and sighed again that this Nizi was too kind, and couldn't help worrying that she was so stupid, sooner or later she would be eaten and wiped clean, so she could only secretly tell Zhang Bao and others to take good care of her.

"Come on, prepare the horses!" Although the fourth master can't go to help the victims, he still wants to get first-hand materials, so that he can also say the most feasible way at the court meeting tomorrow, and he commanded loudly.

After a while, the little eunuch took out a fat and strong jujube red horse from the stable, and Su Peisheng also waited for the fourth master to change into an ordinary robe, replaced the red tassel tassel at the end of his hair, and took a small melon skin hat, got up and ran out of the study to the outer city.

Don't look at the rumors of the homeless people entering Beijing, but there is no half of them in the inner city, so those pampered ministers, if they don't walk out of the inner city gate in person, they can't see those hungry people who are not clothed at all, and they can't see those pickled things.

The fourth master walked along the way, saw a few porridge shops are bubbling white, but also saw the clear porridge water, secretly gambled in his heart, and then walked out to see some strong refugees, who were bullying those old, weak, sick and disabled refugees, and some men dressed in good clothes picked out those good-looking female refugees, and dragged people away after dropping a few steamed buns and a few copper plates.

In the midst of suffering, there will always be various ways to vent. Some people will complain and cry, but some people will become different from usual, completely forgetting the strictness of the law, trampling on the law unscrupulously, and even pulling up an uneven team to impact those solid families, because they all feel that the law is not responsible for the public.

The fourth master walked this trip, saw all kinds of unbearable, and also saw those poor and helpless people, only felt that the anger in his heart was far less than the sourness in his heart, if he hadn't found that the horses tied to the stake had been eaten when he was leaving, he would definitely not have dragged out those porridge shop stewards who were ordered to provide disaster relief and whipped them.

Early the next morning, the fourth master got up early and came to the study, wrote a letter full of excitement and sympathy, and rode a fast horse all the way to the palace, but he did not go directly to the waiting place to wait, but came directly to Yuqing Palace.

It's not that he thinks that Kangxi Ye is old and wants to tie up with the prince, but he feels that the prince is much heavier than his status in Kangxi's mind, and in order to help the refugees not be starved to death faster, then this letter will be sent out from the prince.

The prince was having breakfast, and when he heard that the fourth master was coming, he didn't let the fourth master wait, and directly let the fourth master come in to eat together, but he didn't want the fourth master to just glance at him and drag him to the inner hall.

Yinren was not a gentleman who ate and waited for death, and was a little dissatisfied with the fourth master's approach at first, but with the fourth master's narration, the whole person also became attentive, and quickly glanced at the music sent by the fourth master, and after a full quarter of an hour, he raised his eyes to look at the red eyes of the fourth master, and instructed Ah Bao to prepare pen and ink, and re-transcribed a note with a relatively mild tone, which was the unseemly appearance of the fourth master.

With the excerpt sent by Yinren, even if this thing is successful, the fourth master will be regarded as selling Yinren a face, and the left ear and the right ear will come out listening to Yinren's unchanged set of words for more than ten years, and finally wipe his mouth, taking advantage of Yinren's changing clothes, and quickly left Yuqing Palace, where Yinren is located.

The fourth master was busy running for the refugees, and Erfu was not idle, so he ordered Zhao Dezhu to go out with a full five hundred taels of silver early in the morning, and asked him to purchase coarse cloth robes and straw sandals, straw mats, bedding and other things to send to the outer city, hoping to improve the living environment of the refugees.

After all, March in Beijing is not yet warm, and the cool wind blowing at night may make these weak people sick, if just pay some silver can save their lives, Erfu is willing.

However, Erfu also understood that it was not a good thing for the people to be too popular, and specially ordered Zhao Dezhu not to reveal his identity, plus Zhao Dezhu did not walk around on weekdays, but no one found out that this large number of materials came from the Fourth Master's Mansion, let alone knew that these things were done by Erfu, except for a few secret guards under Zhang Bao, who was responsible for secretly protecting Erfu.

As for the early dynasty, Kangxi Ye ordered the ministers of the Eight Banners and the Han Dynasty and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to set up porridge shops in the five cities, outside the city and other places, and even more openly and secretly pointed out that fraud is not allowed, if it is found, it will be severely punished at that time, and several corrupt officials in Shandong will be arrested and raided, as for the final disposal results, it is not something that can be considered now, relief for the victims is put in the top priority, and other things will make way.

I have to say that the holy decree is like a mountain, a holy decree is issued, and those porridge shops that send rice soup finally start to boil porridge, and even those imperial doctors who are disgusted with the West are also reliable, and batches of medicinal materials have been moved out of the Internal Affairs Office, making the corners of the mouths of those bigwigs of the Internal Affairs Office twitch in distress.

The fourth master specially went to the outer city and outside the city in the evening, looking at the sheltered sheds, steaming porridge shops and refugees who had changed their clothes, and finally showed a relieved smile, and went back to the inner courtyard with brisk steps, and ran straight to the west courtyard, his little girl always surprised him so much. (To be continued......)
