Chapter 106 Goodbye Yinzhen
Seeing Qi Luo's attire, Mrs. Dong couldn't help but said, "It looks a little more disciplined than before. It seems that it's really good to have a teacher by my side. At least it can save me a lot of worry. I think Qin's mother is pretty good." , This is really our blessing."

Qi Luo didn't tell Mrs. Dong about her doubts. After all, Nanny Qin treated her well, and she was always by her side, so she should be able to find out if there were any problems.Ling Zhu brought Dong Shi and Qi Luo to Si Age's mansion. When they were in the carriage, Dong Shi was still quite nervous and always told Zhou Yi to slow down.Although Qi Luo was also nervous, it wasn't because of the accident. She was nervous because of the fourth elder brother Yinzhen. Although he met a few times before, he just left in a hurry. This time is different. This is a visit to thank him for saving his life. See My Ama seems to want to secretly surrender, if this is not handled well, with the suspicious temperament of the fourth elder brother, maybe there will be other thoughts.

Outside the gate of the fourth elder brother's mansion, through the curtain, Qi Luo saw Ling Zhu's servant, Xiao Gu, talking to the concierge.The concierge told them to wait according to the rules, and then sent someone in to report back.While waiting, Qi Luo found that the servants in Yinzhen's mansion did not take the initiative to talk to him, but just stood quietly, without any expression of arrogance.Yinzhen may be the only one among the princes who trained his servants to be like this.

After a while, the person who reported back came back, and then bowed to invite Ling Zhu's family to enter.With Cuiyu's support, Qi Luo and Dong Shi got out of the carriage, and followed Ling Zhu into Si Age's Mansion. This was not Qi Luo's first time, but this time Qi Luo didn't have the lively scene of the last time he came.The huge Baylor Mansion has always been quiet, and the inside is spotless and well-groomed.Even the servants who were walking walked lightly, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.Qi Luo didn't like this feeling, she felt that it was like an iceberg with no popularity at all.No wonder Yinzhen is so indifferent, living in this kind of place all year round, it would be strange to be popular.

The servant led Ling Zhu's family to the living room where Yinzhen received guests. Looking at the same cold living room, although the antiques, tables and chairs were very elegant, revealing the style of the prince's mansion, but for some reason she always felt a little cool Maybe Yinzhen put too much pressure on her.

The servant girl stepped back after serving the tea, and stood there in awe of her nose and mouth.Ling Zhu said softly to Mrs. Dong, "Why do I feel so awkward when I come here." Qi Luo nodded approvingly.

At this time Yinzhen came in from the outside. He was wearing a dark blue robe, a black mandarin jacket, and black official boots.Qi Luo felt that Yinzhen might be an iceberg, otherwise most people would be dizzy if they wore such dark clothes on a hot day.Ling Zhu beat Qian, Qi Luo and Dong bowed and threw handkerchiefs, "Fourth elder brother is auspicious."

Yinzhen raised his hand and said, "Lord Ling, please get up, Mrs. Ling too." Ling Zhu and Mrs. Dong looked at each other, then stood up and sat next to Yinzhen's subordinate again.Qi Luo stood neatly behind Dong Shi.Yinzhen picked up the teacup and glanced at Qi Luo, then said lightly, "Master Ling, what's the matter with you this time?"

Ling Zhu said respectfully, "The main purpose of this slave's visit is to thank the fourth elder brother for saving the life of the slave's wife and daughter. He should have come here long ago, but the fourth elder brother knows that this matter is a bit big, and the slave is afraid that it will hinder the fourth elder brother." Brother's business, so I came to thank you today. The slave family will never forget the great kindness of the fourth elder brother."

"Lord Ling Zhu is serious, and I just happened to meet him. It's not a big favor, as long as Master Ling knows what's in his heart." Yin Zhen said looking at Ling Zhu's expression.

"The slave was once reprimanded by the emperor for being affectionate with his sons and daughters. This is a fault of the slave that cannot be changed. I am so grateful that the fourth elder brother can reach out to help me in such a crisis. The slave is very fond of this daughter. Please rest assured, the fourth elder brother. The slave must always remember the kindness of the fourth elder brother. What's more, the fourth elder brother is loyal to the emperor's errands, and the servant admires the fourth elder brother's sageness and understanding of the people's sentiments from the bottom of his heart."

Yinzhen nodded knowingly and said, "Well, Yinzhen admires Lord Ling's loyalty to the emperor's order. I hope Lord Ling can keep it going, and don't be dazzled by all kinds of distractions outside and disappoint Huang Ama's trust. "

Ling Zhu said slowly, "Everything of the slave is given by the emperor, and the slave will never disappoint the trust of the emperor. The emperor's life is above all else for a general. The fourth elder brother is the most loyal one among all elder brothers. If you are number 1 on errands and can assist the prince, the emperor will definitely value and trust you more. Although the emperor controls the world, he also values ​​the friendship between father and son and brothers. The fourth elder brother is filial and respectful to the emperor, and the emperor will never forget it. "Then glanced at Yinzhen's low voice and said, "Well, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too showy and too powerful. After all, the entire Qing Dynasty belongs to the emperor. The slave remembers his weight, and he is in the fourth prince's place. These servants will never forget the subordinates who have done business before.”

Yinzhen looked at Ling Zhu, with a smile on his cold face, "It seems that Master Ling is a sensible person. It is rare and rare. Master Ling's words have really benefited me a lot. It seems that although Master Ling is bold, he is full of thoughts. It's still very thin, it can really be called rough and fine. It's just that I hope Master Ling will not be fickle, and I hate people who are fickle."

Ling Zhu sat up straight and assured him, "The slave is stubborn and has a straight temper. If he is sure of one thing, he will not change it easily. Besides, the slave doesn't have any big ambitions. He just wants to keep the house safe, so there is no Those twists and turns."

"It seems that Huang Ama is very accurate in judging people. Master Ling guards the barracks in your hands. Huang Ama can rest assured. The ideological education you proposed is really a rare and good way. Your talents are more than Huang Ama knows. , Master also knows it in his heart."

Ling Zhu knew that the purpose of this trip was basically achieved, but it was really hard to talk to the fourth elder brother. He only hoped that this cold-faced king could understand his painstaking efforts and protect the safety of his family in the future.Then Ling Zhu told the fourth elder brother about some small things that happened in the guard camp, and Qi Luo was also listening carefully. Through these small things, Qi Luo felt that his father was showing his impartiality to the fourth elder brother , only loyal to the emperor's order, and at the same time, it also made Yinzhen feel a little warmer towards Ling Zhu.

Looking at his humble father, Qi Luo felt sour in his heart. No wonder his father once lamented that he was a jester or a villain, afraid that future generations would scold him for being cowardly and selfish, but facing Yinzhen's father, he completely put aside these concerns, Seriously and carefully deal with the future Emperor Yongzheng.Qi Luo couldn't help clenching his fists in distress. Since the hand injury was still not healed, Qi Luo felt very painful when he exerted force, so he couldn't help frowning and let out a "S".

Although Yinzhen said this to Ling Zhu again, she did not give up observing Qi Luo. Ever since the conversation began, Qi Luo's various expressions of emotion, although she had tried her best to control the expression of emotions, it was not difficult for Yinzhen who had experienced life in the palace to find out. clue.Seeing Qi Luo frowning, Yin Zhen asked, "Miss Qi Luo, were you injured in that accident? Or do you have any thoughts on your father's words?"

Qi Luo quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know about my father. No matter what, Er Niang and I will support him and accompany him. Thanks to the fourth elder brother that time, the servant was unscathed. The servant injured his finger while practicing the guzheng. It is the servant's fault for disturbing the fourth elder brother's conversation, please forgive the fourth elder brother."

Because Qi Luo was patronizing to vent her emotions at that time, the wound on her hand was deep, and it was not easy to bandage her fingers when she went out. In addition, Qi Luo clenched her fist too hard just now, so there were traces of red marks on Qi Luo's fair fingers .Yinzhen couldn't help but frowned slightly, "Although playing the piano is an elegant thing and one of the talents that ladies must have, you still shouldn't work too hard, so you don't have to worry about it, Ama."

Qi Luo bowed his head to be taught and said, "Your servant understands, thank you for your concern." Yinzhen whispered a few words to the attendant, who nodded and left.Although Ling Zhu was surprised by the fourth prince's concern for Qi Luo, he thought it might be just a way for Yinzhen to bribe him.

After a while, the attendant came in and handed a medicine bottle to Yinzhen. Yinzhen pointed to Ling Zhu, "You give it to Master Ling."

Ling Zhu took the medicine bottle in bewilderment, this is not a poison to control people's death, the fourth elder brother should disdain to use this method to control his subordinates. "Fourth elder brother, what is this?"

"This is the holy medicine given by Huang Ama to treat trauma. Hands are very important to ladies of the Eight Banners. Miss Qi Luo has a finger injury. Using this medicine will definitely not leave any scars. But recently, it is better not to use force and It's better to get wet." Yinzhen ordered lightly.He said this as if he ordered a very ordinary thing, without any emotional fluctuations.This made Ling Zhu feel that although something was wrong, he felt that this should be a normal thing.Ling Zhu stood up gratefully and said, "The servant took the little girl to thank the fourth elder brother. The fourth elder brother is really kind to the slave family, and the slave will never forget it."

Yinzhen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." Then he asked Ling Zhu, "I heard that you are interested in Western objects? The foreigner's things are strange, but they are still not as good as those of the Qing Dynasty. You are also an important minister now. Well, we still need to pay attention to some decency. Although Huang Ama is also interested in Western learning, she just treats it as a plaything."

Qi Luo knows that Yinzhen will implement the closed-door policy very thoroughly, and the backwardness and humiliation of the Qing Dynasty is not only due to this reason, but it is undeniable that at a time when Western countries had frequent technological and cultural exchanges, blindly arrogant and arrogant, resisting Western theories, made the Qing Dynasty Gradually become ignorant and backward.If it can have a positive impact on future emperors, can another period of history be created?Qi Luo frowned, her own identity was really difficult to handle, and some things were simply impossible to say clearly.Qi Luo quietly pulled Ling Zhu behind his back, and said softly, "Tell me more about the development of Western science and technology."

The fourth elder brother naturally saw Qi Luo's small movements, although he didn't know what she said, the current Qi Luo is not as rigid as when he first came in, his expression is agile, and his expression changes quite quickly.

Ling Zhu pondered Qi Luo's words for a while, "Si elder brother is like this. This servant once knew a foreign monk well, and he told him many things about the West. Although their country is not as vast as the Qing Dynasty, even one The area of ​​the provinces of the Qing Dynasty is not comparable. But their technical subjects such as mathematics have developed rapidly, and the slaves are training soldiers, so they naturally care about weapons. It is said that their weapons rarely use swords, and all of them use muskets. .”

Yinzhen interrupted Ling Zhu, "I also have that kind of musket. It's really laborious to load it, and it's really useless."

Qi Luo opened her mouth to refute, but she suddenly realized that the person in front of her was Yinzhen, and she could only count on Ling Zhu.Although Ling Zhu understood a little, but after all, he didn't know much, and the opportunity was difficult, so he was sweating a little.

Yinzhen looked at the anxious Qi Luo, and asked, "Why do you have any ideas?"

Qi Luo bit her lips, and said with determination, "I don't understand those big things, but I like history books, and take history as a mirror. Things in the world need to be seen as they develop. Who would have thought that the Manchus living outside the customs could live in the Central Plains. For example, this The chair, it must not be like this at the beginning, but it gradually changed into this according to the changes. With the backrest and cushions, people can sit more comfortably. Therefore, the servant feels that there is still room for development of muskets and the like. Maybe in the future What if there is one that has a long range and is easy to load? Human wisdom is infinite.”

Yinzhen stared at Qi Luo with his bright black eyes, and didn't speak for a long time, Qi Luo hurriedly lowered his head in fright.Ling Zhu said cautiously, "Si elder brother, if the little girl says something that doesn't suit you, you must not take it to heart."

"Lord Ling, it's fine for her to just talk about these things here. Some things should be decided by the men. Although her words sound reasonable, the girls in the boudoir still don't quite understand the things outside. We are full People can live in the Central Plains by relying on elite cavalry and swords, riding and shooting kung fu is our tradition, artillery and guns are just heresy." Yin Zhen looked at Qi Luo and said lightly.

Qi Luo was a little frustrated, why couldn't he explain Yinzhen clearly?Is it really that hard to change?I don't want to be a hero, but I can't even make a little mention. Qi Luo feels that he is very useless.Thinking of the humiliation that his descendants might face, Qi Luo was even more sad.

Faced with such a situation, Ling Zhu had no other way to do it. He could only stand up and say, "Si elder brother, this slave will not disturb your rest. I will remember what you said today. Don't worry, this slave will not let you down." .”

Yinzhen nodded and said to Ling Zhu, "That's how it is, you have to take good care of soldiers for Huang Ama. I won't keep you anymore, but the slaves in your mansion still need to be punished, and you don't have to let someone who is interested take advantage of the loopholes." Since you and your cousin Ling Cheng have separated, it is better to have less contact with each other. Ling Cheng is not only ambitious, but also vicious. He is not the same as you, so you should be careful."

Ling Zhu nodded again and again, Yinzhen looked at the back of their family leaving, and was still very satisfied with today's conversation, but he was a little uncertain about Qiluo, this smart little girl had some ideas, different from ordinary people, just Her thoughts were a little startling.Yinzhen felt that Qi Luo would only say that when facing herself, and she would definitely pretend to be like an ordinary lady to others.

This chapter is really difficult to write. It must be written that Ling Zhu secretly expressed his loyalty to the fourth elder brother, but also let Yinzhen understand Ling Zhu's talent.Facing the fourth elder brother Qi Luo, he showed a little difference. After all, I always felt that there were people who could walk into Yinzhen's heart and be able to assist him.I sincerely hope that the next addition will not be on weekends. I have never written for such a long time, and my head is getting bigger.Qi Luo didn't want to be a hero but just wanted to take the opportunity to reveal something, but he didn't succeed.
