Reborn Perfect Fortune

Chapter 98
Under the reminder of the fourth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother had a warning in his heart. Facing the still favor of Kangxi, and the people around him who were more kind to him after offering sacrifices to Mount Tai, his attitude was very humble and calm. In his eyes, he also praised it secretly, and when he summoned Chen Yuanlong, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and others to talk about the rise of calligraphy, he led the ministers to the place where the princes were studying, and saw the performance of Si Age's calligraphy, Especially after he imitated his own font, and it was quite similar, he was very happy to reward it.

It's just that the good performance of the two sons still couldn't make up for the disappointment that the prince made him, and because the prince's illness could not be cured immediately, Kangxi didn't have the heart to move on, and this tour also died halfway.

When I returned to the capital and entered the twelfth lunar month, when the ministers thought that next year would be Kangxi's 50th birthday, and the application for the honorary title was rejected, Namin was also thinking. Kangxi got angry, of course it wasn't this time, but the last of the two times after that, and the fourth elder brother hadn't been included in the list of retinues for several years since then, for this reason, he was very depressed for a while.

It stands to reason that the 50th birthday is a great celebration, and Kangxi should feel happy when he was invited to congratulate him, and he should not be offended, but the key is that many things are rushing together at this time. After the disaster happened, Fuquan's health also began to deteriorate. More importantly, it was only after the incident that Namin thought of it, that is, Kangxi should still be thinking about dealing with Suo'etu at this time.

Of course, even if there are these things, no one dares to conclude that Kangxi really doesn’t want to celebrate Daqing. It is speculated that according to the routine procedure, everyone should insist on repeated requests, and Kangxi also humbly resigned again and again, and the fourth elder brother, whether as a son or a courtier, made such a request, which is justified, but I don't know if he is rushing. He was in a bad mood that day when he went to Kangxi, or there was another reason for it. In the end, he was unlucky because of it.

However, although the fourth elder brother was unlucky, it did not cause any actual loss, but it further tempered his temperament, so after thinking about it, Namin decided not to stop it, but she did not intend to stop it But it doesn't mean you need to add other things.

On the 42th day of the first lunar month in the [-]nd year of Kangxi, Kangxi started his fourth southern tour. The princes who followed him were still the prince, the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother. Nemin also accompanied him. After arriving in Jinan, he climbed Mount Tai and moved to the Yellow River. , after inspecting the river affairs, he went south to Yangzhou in February, which is Yangzhou where Lin Hai served as the inspector of salt inspection, but this time, the family members that Nemin saw did not have the honor that they were born in the previous life and had never had at all. It has been four years since the Jia family of the state government passed away.

Although Namin didn't see Jia Shi, the fourth elder brother saw Lin Hai.

"My lord said," Namin opened her eyes wide and looked at the fourth elder brother, "today Han Ama took you and the thirteenth brother out in low clothes to meet Lin Hai?" She didn't need to ask the prince why he didn't go, she wanted to It wasn't that Kangxi didn't take him on purpose, or he wasn't around after going out to play. No matter what the reason was, it meant that Kangxi didn't protect the prince with all his strength as before.

"Well," the fourth elder brother nodded, and then said, "Lin Hai's daughter lives in Beijing, what Khan Ama means is, let us take care of it in a timely manner."

"Okay." It was Kangxi's meaning. Of course Namin had to agree, but the degree of timing still needs to be figured out. "Speaking of which, I even gave her a cup made of Taishan black jade, but I haven't seen it before." She is human, but with her mother's appearance and demeanor, her daughter will not be far behind. Lord, let's send some things to enjoy first, or take her directly to the house to play?"

"After returning to Beijing, let's inquire about her situation first." The fourth elder brother only listened to Kangxi after talking with Lin Haimi, and now he is more sure that Lin Hai is Khan Ama's confidant Besides, he didn't know anything about the rest of the situation. How to take care of Lin Hai's daughter, to what extent, and when would be the right time.

************************************************** *********************
How could this be?Namin originally thought that Lin Hai's daughter should be cared for even if she is not extremely pampered in Jia's family. Apart from the fact that she is the granddaughter of Mrs. Tai, she only said that although her father's official position is also from the fifth rank, Its importance was far beyond that of Jia Zheng, a Yuanwailang. The Jia family should have attached great importance to such an in-law, but why did the news he heard contain contempt?
It's not that the Jia family treats them harshly when it comes to food and clothing. The daughters of the Lin family are treated the same as other girls in the Jia family, and even exceed some in some areas. But when she first arrived, the second wife of the Jia family actually said " You should take out two casually and cut clothes for your little sister", but you don't even have the gifts from a small family, not to mention that Miss Lin is still in the filial piety period, and the clothes are not made randomly, just say this "casual "The word, not to mention relatives, even ordinary guests don't have such a thing.

And those rumors of "multi-mindedness" and "little sex" should not be there. How important is the reputation of a boudoir girl, even if her temperament is really like this, the family should strictly suppress it. Zhang Yang, how could he be told just by asking about it casually?As for the incident of sending palace flowers as evidence, it was their family who broke the rules. Fortunately, Jia's family is also a family that has been passed down for several generations, and the things they did did not even have a sense of etiquette.

"How could this happen?" Brother Thirteen also asked the same question as Namin, "I thought this Jia family was very ugly, but I didn't expect them to bully even little girls, but why? Why did they do this?" Do?"

Namin was also puzzled at first, but after hearing some things, she roughly guessed after a little thought, "I'm afraid that this matter still happened to Jia Baoyu who was born with jade, what Madam Tai meant should be He wanted to marry Ms. Lin, so he arranged for them to live inside and outside the Bisha closet. He didn't stop those rumors that were unfavorable to Ms. Lin, just to eliminate the possibility of Ms. Lin getting married, but Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, is unwilling, so there is such a thing as making clothes and palace flowers."

Although the thirteenth elder brother has a bright temperament, he grew up in the palace and has two younger sisters from the same mother. Hearing what Na Min said, there was nothing he didn't understand, so he couldn't help frowning, "Look at it this way Come on, the Jia family is really low-key, no wonder Lin Hai is worried, and begged Han Ama to let us take care of it, but why did he send his daughter there at the beginning, and when he found something wrong, why didn't he rush to pick it up? return?"

"It will be sent, it should be because of the five not married," Na Min answered the question of the thirteenth elder brother, "and that is Miss Lin's maternal ancestral home, of course Lin Hai has reason to believe them, as for not accepting When I came back, it was probably because Miss Lin was afraid that her father would be worried, so she reported good news instead of bad news."

"Now that Lin Hai is ill, Miss Lin won't talk anymore." Elder Brother Thirteen frowned even deeper, "But in this way, if Lin Hai dies, won't she go back to Jia's house again?"

"If you don't go back to Jia's house, where can she go?" Namin sighed softly, "I heard that there are only a few cousins ​​left in the Lin's house." Then he turned to the fourth elder brother, "Master, wait for Miss Lin to come from here." When you come back from Yangzhou, come and meet me."

Miss Lin returned to Yangzhou, of course, to visit her father's illness, but according to the news reported, Lin Hai was afraid that this would be a big deal this time, and the Jia family, when Lin Hai was alive, had already started plotting against Miss Lin If Lin Hai is gone and Miss Lin becomes an orphan completely, it's really hard to say how she will be treated. However, with the help of the fourth elder brother and myself, it will be different again.

The fourth elder brother has not spoken much, and only nodded to Na Min's proposal. The matter of inviting the 50th birthday celebration happened as in the previous life, and Kangxi was still angry at the fourth elder brother. During this year's trip outside the Great Wall, he Just like in the previous life, he was excluded from the list of followers, and his mood was also hit like in the previous life, and his temperament, as Na Min expected, became more and more calm after being tempered. Come less and less.

"Lin Hai's illness, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes." Brother Thirteen began to ponder, "I remember seeing him on the southern tour, and he didn't have any sick appearance. Why did he suddenly say that he was sick, and then became so seriously ill immediately? ?”

"This has nothing to do with us," the fourth elder brother said at this time, and said a lot, "After a while, you will go to the west to patrol the mountains and Shaanxi provinces with Khan Ama, you should do more in this regard Get ready, Lin Hai's matter is up to Khan Ama to decide, it's out of our control."

"There have been so many things this year." The thirteenth elder brother knew that the fourth elder brother's instructions were for his own good, so he no longer thought about Lin Hai's matter, "Uncle Prince Yu passed away, and Suo'etu was arrested , let the fourth brother suffer from the disaster."

"It's also my fault that I didn't understand Khan Ama's mood." The fourth elder brother didn't want to mention the matter any more, and after saying a word, he turned the topic back to the west tour, "This time the prince will go on the west tour, Suo Er The matter of the picture has just come out, and his mood may not be stable yet, so you should pay attention to what you say and do."

"I'm not going to mess with him if I have nothing to do," Brother Thirteen nodded and agreed, "Fortunately, the elder brother won't go this time. When I was outside the Great Wall, I only saw them arguing. Finally, it was in front of the Mongols. , and know how to restrain yourself."

************************************************** *********************
No matter whether Lin Hai was really sick, or the injury was poison or something else, in the end, he was not cured. He died on the third day of September. Kangxi's west tour was scheduled to start in October. A few days later, another person disappeared in the capital. It was from the Jia family, not the Rong Mansion, but the Ning Mansion, Qin Shi, the daughter-in-law of the third-class general Jia Zhen.

Originally, this kind of thing should not have attracted Na Min's attention, but Jia Zhen made the funeral too grand, and there were even some places beyond the control, so she couldn't pay attention to it, the fourth elder brother also noticed it, and did The matter was described in the memorial sent to Kangxi, but Kangxi not only ignored it, but after returning to the capital, he made Jia's daughter in the palace a concubine, Xiande concubine.

This is another thing that has absolutely never happened in the previous life, and Namin can't understand it. Although Kangxi will not really follow the rules of "four concubines" set by himself, later in Rongyi Dehui four concubines When he was still alive, he conferred the title of Concubine Liang again, which gave the eighth elder brother hope and made his desire to seize the heir apparent more firm. It's just that the Concubine Liang has not yet been conferred, but a virtuous concubine came out first.

As soon as this concubine's name came out, Concubine De was very depressed. She was a Concubine De, but now there was a Concubine Virtuous, and she was born as a court lady just like herself. The difference was that her family background was better than mine. Although it is a coat, she has made meritorious service and was conferred a title. The emperor made such a unique concubine name. Although Concubine De couldn't figure out what his intention was, she felt extremely uncomfortable. However, It is a good thing to have such a concubine, because Kangxi allowed them to go to the palace to visit their relatives, of course only for concubines and above.

People above the concubine can go out of the palace to visit their relatives, which surprised everyone inside and outside the palace, and then they all started to jump around. People in the palace are better, but people outside the palace are much more busy. Fortunately, there is one year of preparation time, so it is not too hasty, but also because of this year's preparation time, each family began to compete.

Concubine De's natal family, the Wu Ya family, found the fourth elder brother's mansion, and asked him where to build a provincial garden, and what kind of garden would be built so that Concubine De would be satisfied, etc.

The fourth elder brother listened calmly, and when they finished speaking, he said in a calm voice, "Khan Ama has always valued frugality and disliked extravagance, and the same is true for Ernie. There is no need to buy land and build a new garden. The original garden, just do a little more tidying up."

"Where is this possible?" The members of Wu Ya's family shook their heads, "Your Majesty has been in the palace for many years, and it is the grace of the Holy Majesty to come out once. How can our family be neglected? Of course, we will welcome it with all our strength."

"Actually," Namin said with a smile, "Ene's relatives are the most important thing to look at. The garden decoration is just a garnish. In recent years, there have been catastrophes, and Khan Ama even stopped celebrating his 50-year-old birthday. If we do it too extravagantly, I'm afraid the old man will not like it."

"If you really have spare money at home," the fourth elder brother took the words and said, "buy more food for disaster relief and pray for Er Nie, which is better than building a few new gardens."

The members of Wu Ya's family felt that it would be embarrassing to do what the fourth elder brother did, but they also felt that his words were not unreasonable, so they agreed to leave for the time being.

"Master," Namin felt uneasy, "Do you think they will do what we say?"

"No," the fourth elder brother replied very simply, "In front of me, maybe you will still consider it. If you go out, you will definitely revert to your old ways."

Na Min also thinks it will be like this, the current situation is not that the concubines in the palace are comparing each other, but the few concubines outside the palace are comparing each other, not because they have too much money, but because they can't show weakness at this time, Otherwise, people will look down on them, and people will think that their family has no strength, and their words will have no weight in the future, and there will not be too many people to give face to their actions.

Of course, if it was Namin, she would definitely not want a new garden. Although the garden is a good thing, especially for herself, but it costs money to build a garden, a lot of money, Yongzheng never likes to see me Such extravagance, and at the same time, Concubine De must not want Kangxi to have discord with her.

************************************************** *********************
"Frugal?" Concubine De frowned and looked at the fourth elder brother and Namin, "I never heard of a son or daughter-in-law coming to persuade mother to be frugal, as if I'm usually extravagant?"

"Daughter-in-law doesn't mean that." Namin hurriedly explained.

"It doesn't matter what you mean, it doesn't matter," Concubine De said lightly, "Of course I want to be frugal. If I go back, it will make the family unable to eat. Besides, the emperor is worrying about various disasters. It's not that ignorant, how could it be possible to do something extravagant at this time?"

"Ene also thought of the disaster, and he has the same thoughts as his son," said the fourth elder brother, following what Concubine De said, "The son and the people of his grandfather's family also said the same, and suggested that they use the money they saved to buy food for the victims of the disaster." , to pray for Er Nie, I don't know what Er Nie wants?"

"You've already suggested it, and you still ask me what to do?" Concubine De stroked her head, "Okay, I'm tired too, you guys go back first."

"Master, Ernie is not happy." After walking out of Yonghe Palace, Namin looked at the fourth elder brother. Although Concubine De had never been very close to them, it was rarely like today.

"I know." The fourth elder brother nodded. Before he came, he knew that E Nie would be unhappy if he said this. After decades in the palace, he was finally able to go out to visit his relatives. Of course, he hoped that the better the scenery, the better. It's not that I don't want to make her happy, it's just that this visiting relative is not luxurious, and there must be a reason for Khan Ama to suddenly make this happen.

The fourth elder brother and Namin originally thought that although Concubine De was unhappy, she could still listen to her words. After all, she had six children with Kangxi successively, which can be accomplished not only by being beautiful, but also by Kangxi's temperament. She would have some understanding, and at that time, she did promise herself that she had already bought a piece of land from Ke Wuya's house, and started to build on it. After asking, she found out that it was the fourteenth elder brother , with De Fei's new meaning, ready to build a garden.

In fact, it's not just Wu Ya's family, Tong Jia's is also building a garden. Even if the imperial concubine said that they don't need to build it, they don't seem to have heard it. They should buy land, find someone to draw pictures, and find precious things. Her flowers and trees were also sent out to look for others. Concubine De would change her mind and make a new decision. I'm afraid it has something to do with it. She has always had a knot with Empress Xiaoyi.
