Sit back and reap the rewards

Chapter 142

"Sir, you just want to go to the capital, why do you have to enter Si Age's mansion?"

"You're asking a good question." Wu Sidao had already embarked on the road to the capital, he was not in a hurry, and walked slowly, Kangxi's team was not moving fast, and Wu Sidao was even slower. "Sir, I have fished for a long time, and only fourth master took the bait, so of course I have to go to fourth master."

"Oh!" Tong'er was still in a daze, and the monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, but he also knew that if he asked again, the husband would not explain it. It is good to be able to say such a sentence today.

Wu Sidao did not expect that the one who threw an olive branch like him would be the fourth elder brother who was rumored to value Fujin very much. Because of the imperial examination, Wu Sidao was once in the top position, and eventually one leg was disabled, and his official career was hopeless from then on.

After Wu Sidao went through this catastrophe, he realized that acting on the spur of the moment will not work.He was originally an extremely intelligent person, and he encountered ups and downs, and now he is even more unpredictable.

During these years, he had been observing the state affairs. Although he retired, he still felt dissatisfied in his heart, so Wu Sidao thought about it and thought that being an aide might be the best way out.

But he is not an ordinary person after all, how can ordinary people catch his eye!
If you want to choose, you have to choose a powerful minister, or the prince.

Power officials can directly affect the world by influencing him, but there are two points that Wu Sidao thinks are inappropriate.

The first is that the current emperor is a wise emperor, and there are powerful ministers, such as Suo'etu and Mingzhu, but as long as the emperor gives an order, they will collapse immediately, and the emperor has a very strong idea, even if his master listens to him, It does not mean that the emperor will definitely be able to adopt it.

The second is that there are already many aides around the powerful minister. How can he guarantee that he will stand out? Moreover, Wu Sidao does not want to be subordinated to others. it works.

So there is only one choice left, and that is the prince.

Wu Sidao is on the outside, but being outside does not necessarily mean that he can see clearly!

All he could know was the rumors in the capital. Of course, his analysis of the situation was very strong, but the information was really too little.

Wu Sidao is also unwilling to recommend himself, if it is Tuomenlu, then it is equivalent to standing in line ahead of time, and he is not yet optimistic about who it is.

Choosing the prince, by influencing the prince, he can also display his talents, and maybe he will be able to support a generation of emperors in the future. If so, he can be regarded as learning something.

So after knowing that Kangxi was going to tour the south, Wu Sidao came to Hangzhou. It would take at least a month for Kangxi's team to arrive in Hangzhou. During this time, Wu Sidao took care of a lot of nosy things in Hangzhou. I have learned a lot from him, and I am even willing to hire him as my teacher.

Many people in Hangzhou knew about him, but after many princes arrived, no one asked him, this time he was nosy on the road, but was stopped by someone.

Wu Sidao discovered at that time that these people were clearly not locals, and the visitors simply told him that they came from other places.

Wu Sidao looked at the person's attire, and the shape of the person, etc., and immediately judged that the identity of the person was unusual. At this time, the emperor was in Hangzhou. Considering his age, the possibility of the prince is very high.

Of course, it is not ruled out which family's son it is.

After arriving at the restaurant, watching the young man emphasize to his wife for a long time, and before he really talked to himself, he asked people to buy some things that his wife valued, and all these things, Wu Sidao's first reaction was that this person might be Fourth elder brother.

After the two talked for more than half an hour, Wu Sidao was also shocked by this person's knowledge. Kangxi's 120 Dafa exercises have been known to many people. Not only Kangxi himself is proud, but other people are also full of admiration.

Wu Sidao thought that it would be difficult for a clan member to have such erudition, and he treated his wife very well. Listening to the topic, he hoped to be an enlightenment teacher for his son. He said that he already had four sons.

With such a guess, Wu Sidao immediately bowed down and recognized the fourth elder brother.

In fact, Yinzhen didn't expect Wu Sidao to recognize his identity so quickly. He had already asked the guards to check. This person has been in charge of a lot of affairs in Hangzhou these days, all of which are the same as what he saw just now. The methods used to help people solve difficulties are extremely clever. After hearing the two things, Yinzhen immediately understood that this person is a great talent, and he is indeed knowledgeable, so Yinzhen made an invitation.

Wu Sidao took advantage of the situation and agreed.

"It's also fate! I didn't specifically think about which prince I want to go to. Since God let the fourth elder brother choose me, then maybe it's destined!" Wu Sidao never thought about putting himself under the name of the prince. In his opinion, Kangxi is a wise emperor, but although the crown prince is favored, the emperor is in good health, there may be incidents of Han Wu and Tang Zong, and the future status of the crown prince is hard to say.

So the prince was the best choice, but it was precisely because he didn't choose who he was at the beginning, so since he had voted for Yinzhen's sect, he could only think that it might be God's will.

"The fourth elder brother is good in all aspects, but there is only one Fujin, which will definitely affect..." Wu Sidao also clearly saw Yinzhen's shortcomings, and from the conversation with Yinzhen, he could see that Yinzhen's ambition is A virtuous king.

"Si Ye wants to be another Prince Yu. Although it doesn't match what I want, but the emperor is in his prime, so it's hard to say in the future? Si Ye was raised by the imperial concubine, and his status is enough. Let's go to Beijing first to have a look. , if it comes, it will be safe!"

Wu Sidao also knew that it was impossible to have everything he wanted, if everything went according to his ideas, then he would not be in such a situation today.

To have elder brother invite directly, he thinks he has achieved what he wants.

Although it is for the enlightenment of the fourth master's son, but in this process is also the time to show his talent, even if the fourth elder brother is a virtuous king in the future, he will still be able to use his talents.

With these thoughts in mind, Wu Sidao slowly started heading for the capital.

But Lan Ting, Yinzhen and others followed Kangxi's large army, went northward along the canal, and returned to the capital soon without talking all the way.

The duration of the whole southern tour was calculated very well. The whole journey took 110 days in total. When we arrived in Beijing, it was at the end of May, and Tong Jia’s draft was in early June, and all the showgirls and others had already entered Beijing.

Of course, before that, Lan Ting still has a lot of things to do.

"My lord, I guess the children have caused Eniang a lot of trouble in the palace, so I should take them back!" Lan Ting looked at asking for Yinzhen's intentions, but in fact, what he thought was that even if If you disagree on April [-]th, I will bring the child back under your banner.

And the three little ones are about to turn one year old, so we need to prepare for the week.

"You bring the gift we bought in the south to Erniang, and bring it to Huang Mama. Take the younger ones back. Erniang is busy with the draft, and it's not appropriate for them to stay here."

"My lord, don't worry, everyone's gifts are ready, including congratulatory gifts for the mother and concubine in the palace, as well as several younger brothers and sisters, so don't worry."

Lan Ting was quite sure about this point. She watched Qi Jia's housework since she was a child, and she has never made any mistakes as the prince Fujin these years.

Si Si felt very relieved about Lan Ting, and there was nothing he needed to worry about in the backyard. The reason why he emphasized this sentence was because he was afraid that Lan Ting would put his mind on the children this time, and there would be some omissions.

Now when Lan Ting said this, she immediately understood that she was ready.

Lan Ting sighed, it's no wonder that Yongzheng in history was so hands-on, he worried about too many things, like just now, he will definitely do it well, he has to ask personally before he can rest assured.

It sounds cautious, but it can also be said to worry too much. Lan Ting believes that she should be someone who can reassure Si Si, but Si Si treats her like this, let alone other people.

But when it comes to housekeepers, sometimes Lan Ting really feels that the Qing Dynasty is too different from modern times. This housekeeper is really a kind of knowledge. There are too many people who give gifts. Gifts cannot be repeated, and it is best to send them to others. In her heart, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Winter Solstice, Chinese New Year, etc., as long as it is a festival, she must give gifts, and of course she also has to accept gifts. Anyway, these gifts every year are enough to make people worry.

Even if there are modern times, there will definitely not be so many. Of course, it may also have something to do with the different status of Lan Ting in modern times and the Qing Dynasty.

No matter how Lan Ting changed her mind, the first thing she had to do now was to go to the palace to pick up someone.

"Emiang, these are all arranged by our master himself, and he said that I must send them in for you. I hope Erniang will like them!" Lan Ting brought the gifts into Chengqian Palace, and what Lan Ting said was that these were four gifts. The four preparations did not mention herself, just to show that Yinzhen took Tong Jiashi seriously.

Lan Ting thought, if Si Si was Tong Jia's biological child, then she could act relatively casually.

Sure enough, Tong Jiashi looked extremely happy after seeing it.

"Lan Ting, you have worked hard all this way. Not only do you have to take care of Yinzhen, but you also have to worry about Shouqi. Shouqi has never been ill, it's all thanks to you."

"What did Er Niang say, the eighth younger sister was originally young, so she needs to take good care of her body, Er Niang has taken care of her younger sister's body, but let me take such a credit, how can I deserve it!"

"Look at what you said, mother, I know in my heart, what is yours is yours, there is no need to refuse."

Lan Ting saw that Tong Jiashi had spoken to this level, and she couldn't say much.

"The draft is coming soon. I know you are going to pick up a few young ones, but they are at the Queen Mother's place, so go!"

Lan Ting bid farewell, left Chengqian Palace, and headed for Ningshou Palace.

Lan Ting thought as he walked, this time at least many beautiful women in the capital don't need to be checked by the nanny, as long as there is only one draft, then it can spread, next time...

"I'll see how you, Yongzheng, will let people enter the mansion in the future!" Lan Ting thought proudly, and walked towards the queen mother.
