The Biography of Concubine Xi of Yongzheng

Chapter 159 Changed
In the blink of an eye, it was already early summer, Shisan was still thinking about the cloak that Yanhua embroidered for him when he accompanied him on the southern tour, and when he came back, he was almost wearing a thin shirt.

After he sent someone to bring things back to his mansion, he followed Yinzhen to Sibeile mansion.

As soon as he entered the garden, everything remained the same, he couldn't help but looked around for a while, but he didn't see Yan Hua, he felt a little lost in his heart, but he smiled and covered it up: "Fourth brother, the garden is full of spring scenery, I can't stop it!" ! Your house is always much more elegant than mine, it really should be refurbished according to your layout!"

"No, you often come to my place. If you still see the same scene when you go back, you will inevitably get tired of it after a long time. It's better to keep it as it is!"

"Fourth brother, is the injury on your hand healed? I saw that none of the letters you wrote to me later were in your handwriting, so I guessed that your right hand must be injured." Thirteen stared at Yinzhen's right hand for a while Seeing that there were no scars, he immediately let go of his heart.

"Well, I didn't intend to hurt you, and I asked Chanchan to write it for me."

Shisan's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on his face was even brighter than the setting sun: "Little sister-in-law's handwriting is getting better and better. By the way, what is said in the fourth brother's letter is serious? But is there any basis?"

"How could I ever say something I'm not sure about?"

"Then what is fourth brother going to do?" Thirteen suppressed the smile on his face, frowned slightly and looked at Yinzhen.

The young boy suddenly had a look of sadness between his brows, which couldn't be dispelled, and his eyes showed a little tension.

Yinzhen stopped and looked at him intently.How meticulous Yinzhen is, he could feel the tension in his eyes.

He turned his eyes away and looked at the wild flowers on the side of the road.A butterfly stopped on the flower, and he waved his hand lightly, and the butterfly fluttered away in fear, but it was still reluctant to part with the nectar on the flower. to the flower.

"Look, this butterfly was frightened just now, and it flew away instinctively. After it confirmed that it was not in danger, it flew back again." Yinzhen glanced at the butterfly meaningfully, then glanced at it lightly. Thirteen at a glance.

Shisan was stunned for a while, then pondered: "Fourth brother means that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change? The second brother..." Shisan usually calls the prince the prince brother. If he wants to show the brotherhood, he will be kind Call his second brother at one o'clock.

"It's not been a day or two since you and I have known him, you know him very well." Yinzhen glanced at Thirteen thoughtfully.

Thirteen frowned, and hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, you and I both know how second brother is. He's not bad-hearted, but he just has ambitions. After being a prince for so many years, he is depressed after all..."

"Thirteenth brother! Partition walls have ears." Yinzhen glared at him, "Let's talk in the study."

Thirteen didn't say much anymore, and followed him to the study with a heavy heart, all the way silent.

During this southern tour, the prince made three big mistakes.

The first two are what he told Yinzhen in a letter, visiting a brothel and killing a woman by mistake.The third mistake was that the prince was too close to the local officials all the way during his southern tour.Although the emperor didn't comment on the third matter, Shisan also faintly felt his displeasure.

Before returning to the capital, the emperor had a private lecture with the prince. Thirteen had no way of knowing what he had been taught, and he had no chance to ask along the way.But he could tell from the prince's face that their Huang Ama should have scolded him severely, but after all, in order to take the prince's face into consideration, he did not reprimand him.

He thought that the matter of donating an official that Yinzhen said in the letter was actually involved with the prince, and he was very sad.

He also found an opportunity to test the prince, but the flickering in the prince's words still disappointed him.Over the years, it has to be said that Prince Yinreng has gradually become arrogant and promiscuous from a man of both civil and military skills, wise and humble. Shisan couldn't stop sighing after seeing it.

"Does fourth brother know that Cailian is dead?" After returning to the study, Shisan looked at the things on the Duobao Pavilion with his hands behind his back. When his eyes accidentally touched the stone painted by Yanhua, his eyes flickered slightly, I stared at it for a while.

"Picking lotus?" Yinzhen was puzzled, and couldn't remember who this person was for a while.

"Second brother redeemed the girl raised in another courtyard from the brothel, and he borrowed a bank note from fourth brother on the fourth brother's birthday last year."

After such a reminder, Yinzhen understood.He remembered that there was such a woman, but he didn't know her name was Cailian: "How did you die?"

"I heard from my second brother that he found out that Cailian was stealing a man, and in a fit of anger, he killed her." Yinzhen's eyes moved, and Thirteen added, "It was him who did it himself."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen raised his head and looked at Shisan's back, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes: "The prince's temper is getting more and more anxious."

Thirteen nodded, lowered his eyes and glanced at the stone: "But he is our second brother after all. If he is willing to serve the country and the people well, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future."

Yinzhen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't make a sound. After a while, he said quietly: "But he has changed after all."

Thirteen turned around, stared at Yinzhen for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh...

There are only two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine left in Yanhua's underground, if she hadn't thought about promising Shisan to give him two jars, she would have secretly dug them out to satisfy her greed.It's not that she likes the spicy taste of wine, but she just loves the sweetness of these flower brews, and the rich aroma that still lingers between her lips and teeth.

So when Yinzhen sent Wei Changan over to ask for the two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Yanhua firmly disagreed, after all, she agreed to the thirteenth elder brother first.It's just that she didn't show it, but when Wei Chang'an sent someone to dig out the wine, she deliberately pointed to the two jars of plum blossom wine and said it was sweet-scented osmanthus wine.

Wei Changan had no doubts, and took the two altars of plum blossom wine with him and left.

"Gege, the plum blossoms are not enough months, so I don't know if they are fragrant now? What if Lord Baylor blames me?" Lingxi patted the dirt on his hands and asked casually.

"Then I said that I accidentally remembered it wrong, so there's nothing he can do about it?" Yan Hua proudly raised her chin.

"Just now I heard Wei Chang'an say that Elder Brother Thirteen is back, Lord Belle might be giving those two jars of sweet-scented osmanthus wine to Elder Thirteen as a gift."

Yanhua thought for a while, then shook her head again: "It's okay, if they find something wrong later, they will still come and ask for it. If they really want to give it to Elder Brother Thirteen, then they should give him two more jars of plum blossom brewing. "

Yinzhen and Shisan were chatting happily, and Shisan talked about all the things that he had encountered since his southern tour: "...Huang Ama was very pleased to see the completion of the river project. Many taxes were reduced and exempted along the way, and the people praised it. Stop talking."

Yinzhen suddenly remembered something, and asked aloud: "Can I pass through the area under the jurisdiction of Fengyang Mansion? It is said that it has been raining for more than half a month, and I am afraid that there is also a flood. Although no one reported it, my subordinates The spies also found several prefectures and counties where floods occurred. Fortunately, the rain stopped later. I heard that the magistrate of Shouzhou in Fengyang Prefecture was quite capable, and sent people in time to evacuate the flood water into the river. ..."

"Uh, I don't know about that. I didn't pass through Fengyang Mansion this time, and most of the officials along the way covered up the truth. When I passed through Shandong, I visited in private, and the people there were not like what the prefect of Shandong showed. Generally, there is no shortage of food and clothing..."

"The government and the gentry colluded, and Huang Ama went there. She wanted to show her merits. How could she really expose the shortcomings of her own administration? I'm afraid that every time Huang Ama passes by, there will be cleaned in advance, which will be disrespectful." All of them have been rectified... hey..." Yinzhen sighed, poured a cup of "Osmanthus brewing" and drank it, "Huh?"

As soon as he took a sip, his brows frowned slightly: "This is not sweet-scented osmanthus brew, this is plum blossom brew. Wei Chang'an, go dig up the last two stalls of sweet-scented osmanthus brew from her place, and say they are for Thirteenth Brother . She really is getting bolder and bolder, and she always doesn't listen to me."

Elder Brother Thirteen laughed heartily: "Perhaps it's because my sister-in-law misremembered the location and dug the wrong wine."

Yinzhen shook his head: "Don't make excuses for her, she is not stupid, she really can't even remember such a small thing? Humph... You don't know, I don't allow her to drink, but she still secretly digs for it Drink. I want to dig out those jars of wine and bury them here, but she has a plausible argument, saying that a jar of wine can only be buried once, once dug out, it will lose its fragrance, and it can’t be buried anymore. Hmph Hmph~ she's getting more and more eloquent."

Seeing the smile in his eyes, Shisan raised his eyebrows and said, "Fourth brother, did you realize that you have changed?"

"Ok?"

"You laugh a lot now. I mean you laugh a lot in private. It's rare to see you laugh a few times in the past year. After my sister-in-law comes, you love to laugh."

Yinzhen was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand suspiciously and stroked his chin.

The so-called authorities are obsessed with onlookers, Jing Shisan said so, and Yin Zhen recalled it with deep eyes.

Before Yan Hua entered the mansion, Geng's children were gone, and Hong Hui, who was only eight years old, passed away suddenly.He wanted to laugh, but couldn't.Especially after Honghui left, Fujin cried all day long, and was so sad that he passed out several times. No matter how strong his mental strength was, he couldn't laugh in such a situation.

"It's not that I've become fond of laughing, it's just that being with her feels very relaxing." Yinzhen smiled, raised his head and poured the remaining plum blossom wine in the cup into his mouth.The aroma of plum blossoms has not been fully immersed in the wine, and the faint cold fragrance floats on the surface of the wine, flowing down into the heart with the wine, a little sweet.

"Hey..." Thirteen caressed his forehead exaggeratedly, and let out a long sigh, "Fourth brother's house is very exciting, unlike my house, which is extremely boring all day long. Sometimes when I think about it, I really don't want to stay in the house." Then, they only know what to do after listening to me, what's the point?"

"Hmph! When someone disobedient comes to your house, you'll have a headache! You're not too young, Huang Ama should be about to point you to a Fujin, do you have a favorite candidate?"
