Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 409 Eighth Prince Confinement

Qi Zhinan is not too young, he has already performed the ceremony of Jiji, and Liu Juren is not too young, so the marriage was settled quickly.

Although Cheng Yue'er accepted the fact that her cousin's husband was not of high status, she was still a little awkward.

"Sister Zhinan, do you really not mind the Liu family?"

Her father is a Zhizhou, and he is well-known in the local area. For ordinary people, it is rare to be a scholar. To her, an official lady, it is nothing to be a scholar every year.

Another point is that Cheng Yueer is also afraid that others will say about her cousin.

Qi Zhinan is famous for his talent, some of his peers admire him, and some feel uncomfortable. A woman's marriage is as good or bad as her family background. Even if her cousin is married, when the news spreads, people will inevitably laugh at her.

Qi Zhinan smiled and said: "Mr. Liu is a very nice person, he is filial, motivated and courteous, and has real talents and practical learning. There is nothing wrong with it. It is my luck to marry him."

Being dependent on others, Qi Zhinan never felt inferior, but the environment made her think clearly, see things, think things more clearly, and she knows what is best for her.

Cheng Yue'er sighed: "You say that, and mother also says that, as if I'm ignorant."

Qi Zhinan smiled: "It's not that you are ignorant, I understand your intentions, it's just about getting married, family background is one aspect, character is another aspect, my uncle and aunt treat me well, I will remember it in my heart, what outsiders say, It's not that I don't know that when Gao marries a son-in-law of a family, he will inevitably be talked about by his in-laws, and his confidence is not enough. You are not young now, and your aunt will start to choose a husband and son-in-law for you. My aunt loves you, and I will see you when the time comes You must keep your eyes open at the moment, and not only look at appearance and talent, but moral character is the most important thing.”

Qi Zhinan naturally knew what her cousin wanted, she understood and was sincerely grateful, and she hoped that she would have a good home in the future.

"It's still early, what does my sister say about this?"

Qi Zhinan joked with a smile: "It's getting late."

About two months later, the embankment was about to be completed, and Yinzhen built it himself. After several months of busy work, it was finally coming to an end.

"There are almost three days before we can go back."

Tong Cheng'er was very happy to hear that.

She has a high status and will attend some banquets, but they are all supporting her, and she has no intention of "going down to earth". The only person who has friendship and can say a few words is Mrs. Zhizhou, and they play mahjong together when they are free.

She almost always wins playing mahjong. It's not that she has outstanding skills, it's just that other people's cards are good. She didn't notice it at first, but after she found out, she played less.

I didn't enjoy playing with San Fujin, Wu Fujin and others in the capital.

Just a little tired.

"It's fine to go back. It's been almost two months since I came out. It's time to go back. I don't know how that kid Hongzhao is going to play around!"

Yinzhen said: "With Emperor Ama watching, how dare Hongzhao."

Tong Cheng'er gave him an angry look: "He only dared to have Huang Ama looking at him."

As the saying goes, the youngest son is the big grandson. Although Hongzhao is not Kangxi's first grandson, he is quite smart and Kangxi likes him. In the past, Yinzhen could always look at him when he was around.

Now that Yinzhen is not watching, he doesn't know how spoiled he is.

"No, Huang Ama has a sense of propriety."

"I know, just to say."

Yinzhen remembered one thing: "Tomorrow Zhizhou's niece is getting married, so send someone to send a gift there."

Zhizhou's niece is not a daughter, so logically speaking, she doesn't need to give gifts.

"what happened?"

"I have met the man that Zhizhou's niece is married to a few times, and he is useful."

Tong Cheng'er understood.

"Okay, I'll have someone send it over tomorrow."

Today's imperial court Yinzhen is dissatisfied after all. Most of them are courtiers who come from family background. It cannot be said that they have no ability, but their thinking is not broad enough. It's not that they can't be used, but they can't be used by him.

He needs young, fresh, and passionate people, so he pays great attention to this aspect, and he also values ​​it.

On the second day, Tong Cheng'er sent someone to bring some auspicious gifts for the wedding, but they didn't go.

Mrs. Zhizhou was already very happy about this.

From Anhui to Beijing, people stop and go along the way. Compared with the rush and anxiety at the time, it seems much more leisurely to go back.

The customs along the way made people happy and sighed. I met good people and bad people, but it made Tong Cheng'er see all kinds of life.

"It's finally back."

After entering the mansion, Tong Cheng'er felt much more at ease.

Some people say that a home is where there are family members, but it cannot be denied that the residence that carries the memory is also particularly important.

Take Hong Zhao back from the palace.

Tong Cheng'er took Hongzhao back to her mother's house and talked, and the days seemed to return to the past.

Sanfujin, Wufujin and others came to the door from time to time, playing cards and talking together, very leisurely.

In terms of being busy, it is about looking at the books every quarter. Although there are people who can help share it, they can't just ignore it.

Over the years, Tong Cheng'er has come up with new ideas from time to time, and brother Jiu is always watching, and the two of them have cooperated in a lot of business together.

Just when Tong Cheng'er was about to think that the world was peaceful, another major event happened in the court.

There was a censor who impeached the eighth elder brother during the great court meeting for conniving at his disciples to embezzle money for disaster relief, secretly collecting the disaster money, buying officials, forming cliques for personal gain, covering up criminals, framing the eldest elder brother and the prince... and a series of other crimes.

To be honest, it was a little sudden.

Yinzhen didn't even think of it.

Kangxi's attitude towards the eighth elder brother has been laissez-faire since the eighth elder brother lost his fertility.

In the past, he wanted to stir up trouble in the court, but now, he has given up. Yinzhen is fine, and Kangxi has decided in his heart that he will inherit the throne in the future.

One charge after another, the evidence is conclusive, and the eight princes have no way to refute it.

The final result is that the big brother is lifted, and the eighth brother is banned.

There will be more scenery, and Feng Shui will take turns.

After a shock, the court completely stopped, and no one dared to mention the matter of reserve.

Isn't the eighth brother making a fuss enough?

In its heyday, even when the crown prince was in his prime, it couldn't compare to it, but the defeat was just overnight, and the people who followed the eighth elder brother were almost liquidated. Those who beheaded, dismissed from office, ransacked their homes, and even sat down, affected future generations imperial examination...

It was frightening to be punished one by one.

Even though everyone knew that Prince Yong was the most suitable candidate for the reserve position, but he himself didn't pay much attention to the courtiers, and kept a cold face, doing his own way.

Kangxi was very satisfied with the situation in the court. After punishing the eighth elder brother, although he was satisfied with Yinzhen in his heart, he was also afraid that he would be too popular, but fortunately he did not.

The ambivalence of people is vividly reflected in Kangxi.

After the dust settled, Yinzhen went to investigate the censor who first exposed the eighth elder brother, and found out that it was Concubine Hui's backhand. She went, and she couldn't really let her son stay in the palace for the rest of his life.

So she tried her best to plan these things, and it really made her come alive.

It can be seen that the power of a mother.

Kangxi wanted to reuse the big brother, after all he was wronged, but the big brother refused, the onlookers knew, he had already understood it, so he really didn't argue, went to the Ministry of War, and asked for a simple non-concern I'm quite comfortable with my errands, but the whole person is silent a lot.

He knew that his freedom was given by Er Niang, in exchange for blood.

Good news came from KitKat Academy. Mo Chenyu and Bian Lan collaborated to design a new firecracker, which is more powerful, safer, and more effective. Moreover, the two have already started researching other weapons.
