Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 408 Foreign Language
When Tong Jia Xili, who was far away in Jinan Prefecture, heard about a series of things that happened in Jinling City, it was already time for the elder brother to be sent back to the capital.

At that time, Tong Jia Xili was basking in the sun with Hong Hao and Yu Yu in the yard, and was telling them a story when someone hurriedly came to report it.

The person who came was sent by Yinzhen.It wasn't Xiao Shunzi, but another Tong Jia, Xili, whom Yinzhen met a few times.Although not particularly familiar, he is also a person who knows the basics.

It was at this time that Tong Jia Xili knew about the elder brother.

As far as things are changing too fast, that's all.

"Caiwei, go and send a letter back to Tong Mansion to Mafa." Tong Jia Xili thought for a while, and said to Caiwei: "Brother loses power, there must be movement below. Let Mafa's people keep an eye on it for now, but Don't act rashly."

In history, Big Brother has never made such a big commotion.His title was abolished and he was imprisoned. That was what happened to the prince.

However, according to Tong Jia Xili's understanding of Lord Kangxi, the elder brother reckoned that he would not be finished just yet.Therefore, it is better for Tong Guowei not to add insult to injury too much.

In this way, when Lord Kangxi thinks of his elder brother in the future, perhaps he will have more affection for the Tong family because of the behavior of the Tong family.

"Your maidservant knows." Caiwei nodded, and planned to go out to report the news.

...

In Hangzhou on the other side, Lord Kangxi has been in a bad mood during this period of time.When I went out to inspect the water conservancy with the princes, there were not as many jokes as before.

It was a clear day, and the sun was very warm.Lord Kangxi, who had been silent for a long time, was in a rare mood, so he decided to go out for a stroll.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Lord Kangxi heard someone reading a book.

"How are you?"

"How do you do?"

"How much?"

what?
A trace of confusion flashed in Kangxi's eyes, and he realized that he couldn't understand what this man was talking about.You must know that Lord Kangxi, who is proficient in Manchu, Han and Mongolian, is still extremely talented in language.

"Who is there?"

There are clumps of rattan trees blocking the front, so Lord Kangxi couldn't see who was reading.This crooked tone sounds weird, and it makes it easier to identify whose voice it is.

"Huang Ama? It's my son!"

At this time, Brother Jiu came out from behind the Teng tree.Holding a book in his hand, he came to Lord Kangxi and said, "I have seen Huang Ama."

Lord Kangxi glanced down at the book in Brother Jiu's hand, and asked, "What is this? What are you doing?"

Brother Nine touched his head and said, "I'm learning foreign language. Recently, more foreigners come to my Qing Dynasty to do business, so I learned a few words along with you."

Lord Kangxi also knew about foreigners coming to Daqing to do business.These people have been here since Lord Shunzhi first entered the Central Plains.

Lord Kangxi also met them once a few years ago and saw the new gadgets they brought.At that time, it was only because the foreigner could speak a few words of Chinese that he barely communicated.

I never thought that Brother Nine would start learning foreign language at this time.

"Learning more knowledge is always beneficial." Master Kangxi smiled gratifiedly, patted Brother Jiu's arm and said: "That's right, keep working hard."

Brother Nine, who had won the award, immediately showed a smile on his face, nodded vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, Huang Ama, I will definitely work hard!"

Lord Kangxi also nodded, asked Brother Jiu about his recent studies, etc., and then left the small garden.

...

Not long after Lord Kangxi left, at the corner of the garden, the eighth elder brother and the tenth elder brother came out together and came to the ninth elder brother.

The eighth brother Yinhu saw the smile on the ninth brother's face, and he was able to guess what happened just now, so he said: "Congratulations to the ninth brother, you can get the praise of Huang Ama."

Brother Nine smiled shyly and said, "This is also myna's idea. In fact, myna is smarter than me, so I should learn it myself. In this way, Huang Ama can also praise you."

The idea of ​​letting Brother Jiu read foreign language in the garden was naturally Yinhu's idea.Not for anything else, just to let the ninth elder brother show his face in front of Lord Kangxi at this juncture when the elder brother is losing power.

In this way, their brothers can gradually have a bright future.

"It's good for you to have a skill." Yinhu showed a look of indifference, and said, "Besides, you have learned well, just keep working hard."

Brother Jiu nodded, and then agreed.

Since a long time ago, when nobleman Ping scolded the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, he was bumped into by the eighth elder brother and protected them, the three of them have walked together.

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were of noble birth, and their birth mothers were considered to be of noble background in the Qing Dynasty.But they are still willing to follow the humble eighth elder brother, just because of the eighth elder brother's "personal charm".

Now for more than ten years, the three brothers have almost reached the point of intimacy.It is not surprising that the eighth elder brother advises the ninth elder brother.

Everything is just for the three of them to have a bright future.

...

In the Forbidden City.

On the bed in the Xianfu Palace, Concubine Wen Gui was lying quietly, her breath like a gossamer.

The whole room is full of stale herbal smell, enveloped in this gorgeous looking palace.

Outside, many imperial physicians are discussing something.But they talked for a long time, but most of them shook their heads, unable to give a good answer.

Concubine Wen, the deadline is approaching.

In terms of age, Concubine Wen Gui is actually a few years younger than the Empress.She is the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhao, who is a concubine as soon as she enters the palace.

Helpless, her health is not good, and after giving birth to the tenth elder brother, she suffered from postpartum disorders, and now it has almost reached the point where the medicine stone has no effect.

In the palace, Concubine Wen Gui has always had no sense of presence.Because of her illness, she hardly ever goes out, and she doesn't want to meet those who visit her outside.

Over time, many people in the palace forgot about this young concubine.But now... when she was on her deathbed, there were a bunch of imperial doctors guarding the door.

"Is the emperor back?"

Concubine Wen held the hand of the maid beside her, almost speechless.Her voice was so low that the palace maid could almost only judge what she said by the shape of her mouth.

The maid was anxious, but she still comforted Concubine Wen and said: "The servant has sent a message. The emperor... should be on his way back."

really?
Concubine Wen looked at the window.He seemed to be able to see that Lord Kangxi was walking towards her.

That gentle and jade-like Xuan Ye seemed to be the same time when she saw him, when she was in high spirits.

But... Concubine Wen wanted to reach out her hand to touch him, but found that she had no strength left in her hand.She seemed to feel better, but why didn't she have any strength?
Xuan Ye... Come over a little bit more.

PS: During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, there were many examples of two sisters entering the palace together.For example, Empress Hesheli and Nobility Heping, Empress Xiaozhao and Concubine Wen, Empress Tong Jia and her younger sister, Concubine Yi and her younger sister, etc...

They were all victims of the family, brought in for the purpose of marriage.And if someone among them likes the emperor... they will probably be depressed, right?
