Blessed by God - Chapter 48

In the spring of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi, Kangxi crossed the Yellow River to inspect Ningxia, and at the same time sent two armies to attack Ge Erdan. Ge Erdan died of poisoning, and the eight-year war with Ge Erdan ended.

July in Beijing is so hot that people sweat all over their bodies, as if they were fished out of the water. If it weren’t for the fact that you can’t be shirtless in this era, Yinyou would like to run naked in the house.

The ice cubes placed in the room melted in no time, and the cooling effect was not much better. Yinyou sat in the shade of a tree and kept shaking his fan. The maid who fanned him behind him was soft and weak, and the wind from the fan was negligible.

“Master, this is the iced milk made in the kitchen, try it to relieve the heat,” Fuduo brought a bowl of milk, Yinyou took over the procedure of sipping it with a small spoon, directly picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth, After half a bowl, I feel that the heat in my whole body has dropped a lot.

There are a lot of things to do this year, and Kangxi has no plan to go to Chengde to escape the summer heat. They, who are princes, naturally have to stay at the mansion honestly. In a few days, because of pacifying Galdan, these princes would follow Kangxi to sue their ancestors. Thinking of the layers of prince’s clothes, Yinyou felt a sense of dryness in his heart again.

Seeing this, Fuduo took the fan from the servant girl’s hand and fanned Yinyou, “Master, I heard that there are people added to Fifth Prince’s house.”

Yinyou waved his hands when he heard the words, and said indifferently: “The servants in the fifth elder brother’s house are good, and it’s not a big deal to add someone. You can just send it as a backup gift.”

But Fuduo thought, so among the grown-up elder brothers, only his master and the eighth elder brother had few people in his house. Since he got married with Fujin, the master seldom went to Fujin’s room. Now Fujin is quietly Staying in your own yard and embroidering flowers can be considered easy, but I am afraid that if you meet a master like the one in the eighth elder brother’s house, you will suffer as a slave. Serving you, Lord.”

Yinyou froze: “Which family?”

“I heard that he is a slave raised by Master Cheng and his mother’s family. The slave looks very virtuous.” Fuduo carefully apologized. This is an order from Master Cheng, but he also has to take into account his own master’s mood. After all, the master is not a womanizer. People, so things are not easy to handle.

Yinyou nodded: “How is your character?”

“The person who sent her said that this is the second daughter of the family, and she is usually considered honest. Her father is a member of the council and her education is good.” Fuduo saw that his master had no intention of refusing, and said something about this woman. good words.

“Since it was sent by Er Niang, let’s make a face, and you can handle other things.” Everyone has already been sent in. If he sends them back, this woman may have a hard time in the future. It’s even uglier. The mother wants to give her son all the attractive women. He understands that although he has some resistance to these things, he still has to adapt to the environment here.

“Hey,” Fudor accepted the order happily after hearing this, and then began to think about which yard to arrange this new grid.

“You all go down, I will sit for a while by myself.” Yinyou yawned and leaned lazily on the Taishi chair.

Several serving servants retreated, Yinyou shook his fan, drank two sips of ice milk, and fell asleep drowsily with squinted eyes.

This sleep was actually a dream about those things in the previous life. My parents died early, and I borrowed a relative’s house. Although I had my parents’ inheritance and was not treated harshly, I didn’t get much family affection. After graduating from university, I fought with people in the same department. A woman married to a second-generation official has more prospects than a person with no background like himself. Such a choice is considered normal in such a cruel society. He doesn’t hate it, and feels sad. Died in a daze, until now, except for her parents in her previous life, only Concubine Cheng is the one who really treats her well…

“Seventh brother, why are you here alone?!” Yinyou felt a gust of cool wind blowing, opened his eyes and saw that it was Yinzhen holding a fan and shaking it for him, his face was full of worry.

Seeing that Yinyou’s expression was not right, Yinzhen squatted down worriedly, frowning: “But you are not feeling well?”

Yinyou stared blankly at Yinzhen who was still shaking his fan while sweating all over his head, and the last care and defense against Yinzhen in his heart disappeared, so he couldn’t help but smiled: “It’s okay, I just fell asleep and was in a daze I had a messed up dream.”

“You’re still laughing, what does the sweat on your forehead look like?” Yinzhen took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Yinyou’s forehead, “There are a lot of insects and ants outside, and it won’t help if you light up some incense. I’m lying outside, if the ice in your house is not enough, I’ll ask someone to bring you some, besides the ones given by Huang Ama, I have saved a lot in my house.”

Let Yinzhen wipe his sweat for himself, and the future Emperor Yongzheng wipes his sweat for himself, who has this kind of treatment? Yinyou was very proud, very proud, so he stretched out his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead on Yinzhen’s sleeve, so angry that Yinzhen knocked his forehead: “Sit down, you have built a mansion not long ago, and there are few trees in this mansion. For those with few flowers, if you have nothing to do, you can sit in my house, the left and right are much cooler than yours.”

“That’s a good idea. The two of us share ice, which saves money.” Yinyou rolled his eyes with a smile, “It’s just a pity that you have Fujin, or we can sleep together at night, saving money.”

Yinzhen’s eyes flickered slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: “What are you talking about? After hearing this, people would think that my prince in the Qing Dynasty can’t even use two pieces of ice.” Yinyou’s words were actually extremely inappropriate. Decentness is only the most important fault, and Yinzhen compared it with his eyes open, but caught a small fault instead.

Yinyou laughed dryly, and asked Yinzhen to continue fanning him.

“Do it yourself. After squatting for a long time, my legs are sore.” Yinzhen threw the fan back into Yinyou’s hand, stood up and kicked his legs, but he was thinking about what Yinyou said before, and his heart was extremely refreshing. What Yinyou said just now at least shows that he doesn’t dislike the two of them sleeping together.

“Fourth brother, since your house is cooler, let’s go to your house.” Yinyou waved his fan and stood up unsteadily.

Seeing his appearance, Xu Zhen sighed, and led his tail to drink iced lotus seed soup by himself. The rest of the slaves in Yinyou’s mansion watched their master go out with a clear expression on their faces.

It seems that my master is going to the fourth elder brother’s house to get good things again, good tea in spring, ice in summer, and fresh meat and fruits in winter. They have been serving the master for three seasons, and they are used to it. Son Autumn Master can grab something to come back.

Another few days passed, and Yinyou was served by someone to change into court clothes, and he and his brothers worshiped the mausoleum and heaven and earth together. Yinyou can’t get involved in these matters, he just needs to kneel where he should kneel and stand where he should stand.

Listening to Kangxi’s impassioned announcement to the heavens, Yinyou knelt on the ground, only feeling beads of sweat falling to the ground, except for Kangxi’s voice, the surroundings were so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.

Kneeling properly until the ceremony was over, Yinyou’s eyes were darkened after standing up, and when he got into the sedan chair, he felt that he couldn’t see anything in the sedan chair, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

There were no pedestrians on the street, the doors of the shops were closed, and there was no other sound except the sound of horseshoes. Sure enough, when the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven and the royal driver appeared on TV, there were crowds of people watching the excitement all around, that was just floating clouds. Not to mention anything else, just say that when the National Day military parade in later generations, there is no reason for ordinary people to watch casually, let alone the old feudal dynasty.

In “A Dream of Red Mansions”, when a concubine goes out of the palace to visit her relatives, she has to pave the road and repair the garden, as well as various etiquettes, let alone the royal driver offering sacrifices to heaven.

It was so easy to go through the complete routine, Yinyou felt that his whole body was soaked, sticky and greasy, and very uncomfortable. Looking at the other brothers, their complexions were not much better, especially the prince who was tossing with Kangxi, His face was already glowing red from the sun.

All the princes, relatives and ministers were standing in the hall, the emperor did not speak, and no one dared to leave.

Kangxi sat at the head, and saw Li Dequan holding out several imperial edicts, and read them one by one.

Everyone understands that this is a reward for meritorious deeds.

All the ministers who participated in the war received rewards, among which Fei Yanggu Muscad received the most generous rewards, and then it was the intention to confer titles on all elder brothers. [①]

Yinyou knelt on the ground. He didn’t know in which year Kangxi was named elder brother, but according to his age, he should have the title of Belle or Viscount Belle. ten.

The eldest elder brother was promoted to the king of Zhijun, the third elder brother was promoted to the king of Chengjun, the fourth elder brother was promoted to the king of Yongjun[②], the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother. The eighth princes are all promoted to Baylor.

Several adult elder brothers have titles, and some ministers in the court changed their minds and pressed down again.

When Yinzhen heard that he was promoted to be the king of the county, he was somewhat surprised. He thought that Fei Yanggu had won the military merit this time, and Huang Ama would suppress him. At most, he would get Baylor, and he was not too old. King Jin was also very reluctant, and didn’t think much about Feng Junwang. He didn’t expect that Huang Ama’s will would surprise him so much this time.

After leaving the palace, the brothers congratulated each other. The eldest elder brother invited the brothers to listen to an opera in his villa in a few days. The eldest brother asked, and the brothers agreed one by one. Only after suffering did Yinyou relax his tense body.

“My brother is here to congratulate my brother,” Yinyou smiled and cupped his fists at Yinzhen.

Seeing that the joy in his eyes was not half fake, Yinzhen smiled and said, “As a brother, I also congratulate my seventh brother.”

Yinyou smiled and rolled his eyes, “Well, the monthly salary can be increased.”

Yinzhen shook his head with a helpless smile, but he was still a little uneasy about being the king of the Jin Dynasty. This uneasiness made him decide to be more careful in the near future, for fear that what his Huang Ama would think would make him irreparable .

Looking at Yinyou who was smiling so hard that his teeth could not be seen, Yinzhen thought to himself, it’s good for the seventh brother, he won’t be treated coldly by Huang Ama, but he won’t be treated preferentially, so he can feel relieved.

The author has something to say: ① In history, my brother was promoted to the throne in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi, and I am here ahead of time by O(∩_∩)O~ Prince Yong, here I make him the king of the county ==
