Chapter 413: Defection to the Emperor

Chapter 413

The fourth master was already used to the unreasonable anger of the old man, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and then listened more seriously to the comments of the old man Kangxi on his recent articles on current affairs.

The history books say that the fourth master is an emperor who is willing to do facts, which is definitely not groundless.

Although he didn't think that it was the right thing for the old man Kangxi to deal with the corruption of those so-called old ministers, he clearly understood the gap between him and the old man Kangxi in terms of overall situation and governance, so the fourth master was like a fish swimming in the ocean of knowledge, and he regarded himself as a student all the time.

Listen, but not without a position;

Learning is not just copying.

If it is Erfu's view, the fourth master is like a computer with precise calculations, from the comments of the old man Kangxi, he selects the acceptance that is compatible with his political views, and singles out those he disagrees with, and thinks carefully in his heart......

β€”β€”From the perspective of a superior person, think about what kind of consequences will be formed if it is dealt with according to his ideas, what kind of impact it will have on the people and officials, what are the advantages of the approach of the emperor Ama Kangxi, what are the advantages that need to be modified, and finally choose a method that is most suitable for the benefit of the people in this era, and then continue to figure it out, discuss it with the staff with hypothetical questions, gather the strengths of the people, and finally let the people get real benefits.

"It's not too early, so let's stop here today. "Although the old man Kangxi has the idea of teaching his son, he is a person with a great sense of time. didn't want to be late for this dinner, seeing that the fourth master had thoroughly listened to his comments, he pursed his lips and smiled slightly. He looked up at the time on the chiming clock in the corner and whispered.

"Erchen will arrange a soft sedan chair. The fourth master hurriedly pressed the policy that he had thought about most of in his heart, and said that he was about to go out.

As an emperor who once drove and conquered in person, the old man Kangxi was arrogant in his bones, he was unwilling to nest in a warm soft sedan chair like a weak chicken, or sit high on his shoulders, but preferred to walk slowly on the palace road covered with bluestone slabs. Quietly looked at every corner of the Forbidden City that my ancestors had worked so hard to fight: "Okay, my body is not yet unable to walk or crawl, although it is not as good as the time of the horse grassland in the past." But it's still hard to stop me after a few steps!"

The eighth man had long heard that the fourth master asked Guarjia Fujin to use silk cloth, poplin and other good fabrics to make leaves and flowers to decorate the yard, and he was worried about not knowing how to let the old man Kangxi unconsciously find out that he had always thought that the thrifty fourth elder brother had such a luxurious decision in private, and at this time I saw that the old man Kangxi took the initiative to go over to Lanyue Tower to listen to the play. Naturally, he couldn't help but be happy: "What Huang Ama said is extremely true." Let's go!

Huang Ama hasn't taken a good look at the fourth brother's mansion, although the people in the Internal Affairs Office don't have the ability to do it, but this errand for serving people is doing a good job, and the Ministry of Industry also has a few capable ministers, who have built the fourth brother's courtyard in a grand and comfortable way, and even several veteran princes are very envious!"

Before the words fell, the eighth child seemed to be guiding and introducing the old man Kangxi as a tour guide. strode towards the door, and walked straight past Su Peisheng, who was ready to open the door. took out a kind of momentum of raiding the house and destroying the door, opened the closed door of the study, took a deep breath of the slightly cold air outside the room, and said loudly: "It's not too cold outside, and the wind is not too strong, but it's just right for a walk!"

If it is according to the original arrangement of the fourth master, the fourth master is really a little weak-hearted.

Although the old man Kangxi is not too frugal, he is definitely not used to his behavior of wasting a large amount of cloth to decorate the yard, but according to Erfu's arrangement, what is wasted is just some ordinary black charcoal and artificial, black charcoal can buy a big basket for one or two silver, that is, some merchants will not use that kind of charcoal fire for heating, it can be said that it is a real product of the poor.

As for the labor, there are a lot of slaves in the house, so naturally there is no need to pay additional silver.

Thinking of this, the fourth master relaxed his whole person, and secretly felt that Erfu was her lucky star, not only daring to refuse his arrangement, but also coming up with a way in time that would not hurt the money and was not considered laborious, and decorate the somewhat bleak yard, so that his face as a master of the house would shine.

The fourth master who has no worries, the speed of the head melon has come up, although it is not as good as the core I7, but it has exceeded the ordinary dual-core processor, in the blink of an eye, he thought of an opportunity to dig a pit for the old eight, and secretly rejoiced for a moment, and took a step forward, as if to dissuade, but in fact, he raised his hands and feet to support him and said softly: "In the end, in the winter, what has Huang Ama been sitting for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be some discomfort on the waist!"

"Look what the fourth master said about this! Huang Ama has been sitting for so long, and it is time to move his legs and feet, if he has been nesting in the soft sedan chair and listening to the drama for another hour, I am afraid that this body will be even more uncomfortable!"

"Well, you brothers are no longer arguing, and I do want to see your mansion. The old man Kangxi made a final decision, interrupted the fourth master's words to justify, turned his head and showed a fatherly smile to the fourth master, left the emperor's identity, and said in a low voice from the position of a father.

The fourth master is not good to stop again, and besides, he is really afraid that he will really let the old man Kangxi dismiss his plan to walk in the past, because he really doesn't like to sit in a soft sedan chair.

The fourth master's study is a two-entry courtyard in the main room of the west room, out of the door, in front of a spacious courtyard, except for a cross-path bluestone road, left and right are still lush bamboo forests in winter, but there is no problem for a while, so the eighth just glanced slightly and retracted his attention, and whispered with the old man Kangxi to say some homely words, or those heirloom poems from the past and present, very elegant.

Walking all the way to the inner courtyard, the entire front yard is full of lush trees. But there is no silk cloth and poplin as the old eight imagined.

Because the fourth master is a tough guy, he doesn't like flowers and plants, and he hates the falling leaves in autumn. Therefore, most of the trees in the front yard are the most common pines and cypresses in the north, and only some flowers raised in blue and white porcelain jars are placed between the trees as decorations.

As for the trees that may be decorated with silk cloth and poplin, there are only a few ginkgo trees on the west road in the front yard, but because they are not in the place where their group passed by on the other road, the eighth child did not have a chance to talk about how the fourth master spent a lot of money in order to enjoy the lantern banquet normally, so angry that he shook his head silently. Secret Dao: The fourth master is a real chicken thief.

All the way calmly walked to the door of the hanging flowers, so that the eighth eight, who was originally full of ambition to give the fourth master a loss, was a little wilted, until the doorkeeper next to him stepped forward to ask An Xing to bow three times and bow nine times. That's when I was a little eager to cheer up.

"......" has long been accustomed to seeing the old man Kangxi kowtowing to others, passing by the doorkeeper, without even tilting his head, he passed by, bypassed the screen door, and walked into the inner courtyard that looked full of spring flowers.

Compared to the rigid trees in the outer yard. The inner courtyard is a place full of little women's feelings.

Because many women don't necessarily get the chance to go out a few times in their lifetime. Therefore, the inner courtyard is far more gorgeous than the area and decoration of the outer courtyard, and there are many more varieties of flowers and trees.

"I heard that Nian Xiyao's slave said that the fourth brother's mansion attracted hot spring water to relieve the winter cold in the mansion, but I didn't expect the effect to be so obvious, so it was only late winter and early spring. These trees spit out their buds, and they really make people feel full of life!" Old Eight glanced at the green leaves that loomed on the trees. He said as if surprised.

At this time, although it is the time when the winter snow melts, it is far from the time when spring comes to spit green.

As the eighth child expected, as soon as his voice fell, the old man Kangxi's attention stopped on a weeping willow that was thick enough to embrace.

This can be regarded as a characteristic path in the Fourth Master's Mansion.

Five-colored pebbles are pieced together into a diamond-shaped pattern, there are no potted plants carefully pruned by those florists on both sides, only two rows of weeping willows in the canopy and a few planted with some easy-to-feed, long-flowering rosaceae flower beds, every spring and summer, the canopy on both sides wants to knot, the shade surrounds, the aromatic bursts, the colorful butterflies flutter in the meantime, it is definitely a beautiful place to walk.

Up and down the house, except for Erfu, who doesn't like to go out, other ladies love to wander around here, and they can have a chance encounter with the fourth master who is busy with business from the front yard, and can take a slow walk to maintain his figure, which is really a double win.

The most important thing is that it is more uncomfortable than the stuffy room, which is not a little more comfortable.

Compared with the last one, the first two are not a big deal.

After all, there are only a few women in the house who are qualified to use ice, and most of the palace maids who serve people feel that it is extremely difficult to endure in the summer, and they can't wait to serve in front of the master twenty-four hours a day, so as not to go back to their own small room to cover the prickly heat.

With such a big premise, this road is very normal.

At this time, normally speaking, there should only be a lone wicker in the canopy, but when the old man Kangxi looked up, he saw a large piece of greenery, and there was a little friend who was trying to dig a pit for the fourth master next to him, and the old man's face immediately became ugly, looking at the oval leaves that shimmered with the luster of life in the setting sun, and said coldly: "This looks like a willow tree, why is this leaf so strange?"

Although the old man was already angry in his heart, he still maintained calm on his face, and he was unwilling to lose face in front of so many people.

The fourth brother glanced at Su Peisheng unhurriedly, looked at the old eight children's shoes that had been trying hard to instigate with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know what the eighth brother thinks of the scenery here?"

"This view is excellent, but ......!" the old man praised with a smile, and then quickly peeked at the leaves waving in the wind, as if he was a little difficult to speak, and did not finish his words for a long time.

"But what?" the fourth naturally wouldn't give the eighth a chance to see the leaves clearly, so he hurriedly stepped forward, just blocking the eighth child's sight, and asked in a slightly heavier tone.

Eighth Master Yinxi looked at Kangxi Ye with some embarrassment, raised his hand and touched the oily braid on the back of his head, and portrayed his embarrassment in a realistic way, until the old man Kangxi urged, and then said: "Eighth brother looks at those leaves, but they look like fine brocade......"

"But I don't think so, the fourth master has always been the most frugal, that is, he doesn't even talk about pomp and circumstance in daily clothing and food, as long as he is warm and satisfied. Halfway through speaking, Lao Ba's voice paused, shook his head again and again, and muttered uncertainly, speaking in a low voice, but it was enough to clearly reach the ears of everyone present.

"Erchen looks a little like brocade, this color is ...... I'm afraid that only the top-level streamer brocade sent by Jiangnan Weaving can do it!" Lao Jiu said with oil and fire on the side.

This excellent streamer brocade is a tribute sent by Jiangnan Weaving, less than 1,000 horses per year.

Although such a number seems to be a lot, if they are all in the palaces of these imperial relatives in Beijing, each province really can't share much, not to mention some unfavored female dependents in each province, even those imperial relatives and nobles who don't have a little face in the court are not visible at all.

As for the defective streamer brocade that has been circulated on the market, the market price has also been speculated to hundreds of taels of silver, which can be described as a real expensive goods, or an extreme luxury brand made by hand, the weaving method and pattern of each material are different, and there will never be an accident like a shirt.

Lao Jiuyinyu said that those leaves were streamers, and the cliff was a conscience, but he also saw that the cloth used for those leaves was good, so there was such a saying, I hope that the old man Kangxi can be more angry, so that their next arrangements will be completed more smoothly.

As soon as Lao Jiu's words were finished, the old man Kangxi's face had already darkened, and his eyes were full of disbelief and swept on the fourth master's face.

At this time, Su Peisheng was also supported by two little eunuchs, staggered down from the tree, twisted a vine in his hand as if holding a treasure, with a few green leaves hanging on it, and respectfully sent it to the fourth master, the fourth master pursed his lips and smiled, and sent the leaves to the old man Kangxi, with the vision of the eighth and others more than one point five, looking at the faintly visible fine burrs on the vine, he took two steps back with some uneasiness.

"To be worthy of such praise from the two brothers, I'm afraid that Guerjia Fujin will be proud!" The fourth master pointed to a number of green leaves hanging on the two rows of willow trees, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, this Nizi has a bit of spirituality, and actually came up with the idea of decorating the trees with these easy-to-grow vines, which not only beautifies the scenery in the yard, but also saves a lot of silver, otherwise if you really use the streamer brocade to decorate, I am afraid that the idea of the son will be hollowed out, and he will have to take his wife and concubines and children to the palace to join the emperor Ama!"
