Female Official In the East Palace - Chapter 198
Rong Xin and the Crown Prince looked at Dongzhu very tenderly, she is more and more alive now, which means she is living a good life, they all hope that her life will only get better and better, not worse.
After the eldest brother finished talking about his daughter, he leaned on the back of the chair in a relaxed position and asked the prince, “How long have you been preparing for the merchant ship to go to sea?”
The reason is this, but the big brother frowned and said: “The merchant ship you sent people to look for things overseas has not yet returned, and when our ship goes out, I don’t know what year and month it will come back. Did I throw the hundred thousand taels into it for nothing?”
“It’s not a waste of money, eldest brother wants to know the progress, just ask me directly.”
When the elder brother heard the words, he opened his mouth and said, “Just give me an accurate word, when can you leave?”
Prince pondered for a moment, then replied: “The end of the year, and the beginning of next year.”
Big brother thoughtful.
“Brother, how are the cannon preparations?”
“By the end of the year, you can only come up with eight doors. Are you sure it’s okay?”
At this time, Rong Xin interjected: “As long as you don’t deceive, the emperor has a very high tolerance for brothers.”
After so many years of crying and poverty, the two came up with a way to make money. Kangxi would not support it explicitly, but he would not oppose it with much fanfare.
Rong Xin thought of this, and asked again: “Have you found a good guide? There are also suitable crew members, who must be very safe, lest the merchant ship suffer losses outside, and the management there is improper, you two It doesn’t even take into account.”
The prince and the elder brother nodded in agreement.
The prince paused and said: “Xiaojiu is quite gifted in business, he can learn foreign languages very quickly, and others are clever. A very suitable manager.”
“Oh!” The elder brother snorted coldly, “The prince has a very high evaluation of him.”
The prince took up the tea cup unhurriedly, took a sip, and said leisurely: “All of us grown-up younger brothers are talents, and we need to use them to make it difficult. It’s a humiliation.”
Rong Xin heard the prince’s words, the corners of his mouth twitched, the prince not only humiliated the brothers, he was simply doing his best
Yinzhen, the fourth elder brother, has a rigorous style and has rarely made mistakes since he was on duty;
The fifth elder brother, Yinqi, is honest and sincere, he has rarely had any disputes with his brothers since he was a child, and he has a good relationship between the upper and lower levels;
The seventh elder brother, Yinyou, was already doomed to miss the throne due to his leg disease. He worked hard and seldom complained.
These elder brothers, whenever the prince has a request, never shirk, they are all excellent performers.
Yinzuo, the sixth elder brother, has a fiery temper and is easy-going. He has a bad reputation in the court after he was on duty, but such a character is very suitable for taking the lead, the prince… I like him very much.
As for the eighth elder brother Yinsi, the nine elder brother Yinsi, and the tenth elder brother Yinyu, who are late in the court, the eighth elder brother is more outstanding in his ability and behavior, and can even be said to be comprehensive.
At this time, the crown prince has repeatedly overseen the country’s government, and he doesn’t care how prominent his younger brothers are, he can’t control him.
Not only did Rong Xin hear the confidence in the prince’s words, but the eldest brother received it completely, even if he asked angrily: “Then in the prince’s heart, what about my eldest brother? “
The prince thought carefully and thought for a long time. Before the eldest brother got angry, he smiled and said: “The eldest brother is naturally the mainstay of the Qing Dynasty and plays a decisive role.”
The big brother had a disgusted look on his face, Rong Xin almost laughed out loud.
“Prince, are you hysterical?”
The more smile on the prince’s face, the eldest brother became angry, got up and strode out.
Rong Xin got up and sent it off. When he came back, he reluctantly said to the prince, “Why do you make the Prince of Zhi angrily and leave?”
That’s fine, but it’s a pity that countless people came to tell me how to do this if I acted out of line…”
The frame on the prince’s body comes from Kangxi, from the officials, and from his self-restraint.
Maybe, if you don’t carry too much, you will be happier?
Like Su Malagu said to Rong Xin, Rong Xin said to the prince: “You have done a good job, you don’t need to care what others think.”
The prince nodded, then looked at Dongzhu, and said softly: “Big brother loves a daughter, I can’t be left behind.”
Rong Xin also looked at Dongzhu, and then asked, “Is what Big Brother said really appropriate?”
“Take Arizlan as an example, as his heir, he is a powerful king of Darhan in Horqin, and living in Beijing with the princess, he is first a concubine, and then he is far away from the power of Horqin The prince.” The prince asked back, “If it were an aunt, how would you choose?”
Rong Xin… There is no way to choose a candidate, but those Grid, don’t they envy Princess Duanmin’s ability to speak out in Mongolia?
The prince didn’t care about her answer and said, “I have agreed to the request of the eldest brother. When Baoxian reaches the age of marriage, if he still insists on this, he will do his best to satisfy it.”
Dongzhu raised her head to look at Amma, then at Mammy, lowered her head without worry, and continued to play with her toys.
“Almost forgot…” The prince smiled and congratulated, “Auntie, Rong Yucai has a daughter, Rong Jing participated in this year’s township examination, do you want to go back and have a look?”
Rong Xin curled the corners of her mouth, “I’ll turn around and ask, when the child is full moon, if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll go back and have a look.”
However, Rong Xin didn’t wait for the full moon, so he left the palace and returned to Rong’s house, all because it came with the release of the township exam, and the Shuntianfu township exam fraud case broke out.
Rong Jing’s reputation in the examination may be cancelled due to the fraud in the township examination, his father Rong Qi suffered a stroke, and his mother Ding Shi also fell ill.
Rong Xin had to go out of the palace to visit early, and the elder brother was waiting for her outside the palace gate.
“Aren’t you investigating fraud in the township test? Why are you here?”
The eldest brother stepped on Rongxin’s carriage and said, “I know you are going to Renzhao Academy, so I will walk with you all the way.”
Rong Xin habitually poured tea for him, “You deliberately waited for me, it wouldn’t really be on the way, right?”
“The prince is not as clear as I am about the fraud in the township exam. Let me tell you, so that you don’t worry about your nephew.”
“I’m actually…” I didn’t worry much, but Rong Xin smiled at the elder brother, “I want to behave calmly in front of my younger brother’s family. With your words, I will be more confident. .”
“There are many candidates, as long as your nephew has not cheated, after the cheating case is found out, Huang Ma will make proper arrangements.” The elder brother paused for a while and asked, “How many nephews do you have? ?”
“Twenty-one.”
The big brother was surprised, “This title is really good.”
Rong Xin nodded, Rong Jing was indeed more talented than Rong Yu, but it was extremely rare for both of them to be able to pass the exam before being crowned.
The big brother hinted: “Don’t follow the gangsters to make fun, he may make another entry.”
“You mean…” Rong Xin asked because the candidates had been making a fuss about fraud in recent days.
The big brother nodded slightly, “Anyway, a group of scholars can’t make a living with their pen, and they will only anger Huang Ama.”
“I thank you for my brother, as for me, I will not be polite to you.”
The carriage moved forward for another quarter of an hour. The two said goodbye to each other. The elder brother got off the carriage and returned to the house, while Rong Xin continued to walk out of the city.
At the foot of Renzhao Mountain, as soon as Rong Xin saw Rong Sheng, he immediately asked his father and mother’s physical condition.
Rong Sheng had a sad look on his face, “Mother got better after taking the medicine, Dad… Dad, he is still unconscious.”
“What does Imperial Doctor Liu say?” Rong Xin is familiar with many Imperial Doctors in the Imperial Hospital. She asked Imperial Doctor Liu to help diagnose and treat Rong Da and Ding.
Rong Sheng shook his head, raised his sleeves to cover his face, and said with tears: “The imperial physician is also powerless.”
Rong Xin felt suffocated in her heart, let out a long sigh of relief, but could not relieve herself, so she ignored it for the time being, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it to Rong Sheng, “I’m afraid you have to be strong at home. Hold on, cry, I will stay on the mountain these days.”
Rong Sheng, a big man in his 40s, really stood on the steps and burst into tears. The students who came to and from the academy passed by and all cast their eyes on him.
No matter how indifferent Rong Rong was to Rong Xin, he was never bad for Rong Sheng, his son.
Rong Xin looked up at the gate of the academy at the end of the steps, waiting quietly for him to release all his emotions.
“It’s rare for my sister to leave the palace, and I shouldn’t have troubled her.” Rong Sheng’s violent emotions were slightly controlled, and his nasal voice was extremely heavy, “It’s just me…”
He said with a cry and a voice, Rong Xin understood: “I know, no need to say, organize it, let’s go up the mountain.”
The two walked up the steps, Rong Sheng first went to the well to draw water to wash his face, and then returned home with Rong Xin.
Imperial Physician Liu had to go back to Tai Tai Hospital on duty. After the diagnosis and treatment, he left a prescription, and a doctor in the city continued to treat Rong Da and Ding Shi.
After Rong Xin entered the house, his father Rong Da lay on the bed and didn’t know about the personnel, so he went to another house to see his mother Ding Shi.
As soon as Mr. Ding saw Rong Xin, he burst into tears, “You are here to see your father for the last time…”
“Mother…”
“Grandma…”
She grabbed Rong Xin’s wrist, Ye Shi and Rong Yu stepped forward to stop, Rong Xin waved his hand, then paused for a moment in the air, and put it on Ding Shi’s shoulder, He gently hugged her in his arms.
Rong Da fell ill because of Rong Jing’s fame, so when he woke up in the evening, Rong Xin sat beside his bed and said firmly: “Rong Jing didn’t cheat, the case of cheating will not be closed. It will affect him, even if his fame is really gone this time, he can still take the test next time.”
Rong Da’s eyes were excited, but he couldn’t speak, and then stared at Rong Xin, his fingers shaking as if he was going to do something.
Rong Xin noticed that, after thinking for a while, instead of shaking his hand, he tapped his wrist a few times and said, “I really never blame you.”
As for the father-daughter relationship, they have lived to this age, so why bother? But it only adds to the trouble.
Rong Da could no longer distinguish more, and when she got this sentence, he closed his eyes in relief.
