Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 178

At the beginning of June, the capital was sweltered with heat. Amid Yaoer's reluctance and the envy and hatred of everyone in the backyard, the fourth master left Yong County with the eldest son and second son with the tender and green Geng family. Wangfu, rushing to the long queue outside the Great Wall.

"Sister Geng is really lucky."

The most experienced Mrs. Song spoke first, sighing in a low voice while observing Fujin's face.

"Yes, but we old people can't be jealous." This is Guo Shi, who has always felt seniority and high status.

Xiaoyi lowered her eyelids, why don't these women learn to be good.After so many years, the lessons have not been learned less. Instead of calming down, each of them has become more and more like a fighting cock.

"Emiang, it's almost time for Grandmother Huang Gao, what should we prepare as a congratulatory gift?"

Picking up her little daughter, Xiaoyi followed Yaoer's train of thought and said, "Say, what should I prepare?"

Yao'er heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, and said with a smile: "Huanggaomamu doesn't lack anything, what we lack the most is our hearts. My daughter remembers that there is a copy of the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" compiled by living Buddhas in our mansion, embroidered and sent it up again. Not too bad."

Jin'er nodded as she listened, she was only one year old, so she couldn't speak casually in front of outsiders.Looking at her brother who was drooling outside the door, she raised her hand and pinched him while no one was prepared.Hongxin was in pain, his big eyes were ready to cry, recalling what he had just thought about, he uttered three words: "Do it with your own hands."

Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Song all took half a step back, and Xiaoyi finally gave them a look: "After the master left, things in the mansion were busy. But the birthday of the emperor's mother is the most important thing. Ben Fujin has no skills, you On weekdays, I also made a lot of clothes for my grandfather, and the embroidery is very delicate. The matter of scriptures can also be regarded as contributing to our house."

While talking, she was recalling the scriptures on the bookshelf that occupied almost one space, densely packed with Sanskrit like a heavenly book.Now that there is one Gunn family missing, it is equally divided between the four of them, enough for them to not think about other things for two months.

"Fu Jin, servants..."

"Well, but you don't want to be filial to the emperor's mother?"

Xiaoyi's almond eyes are wide open, she has long been proficient in this method of inserting soft knives.

Guo's acquaintance's blessing: "Slaves take orders."

This kind of daily trivial matter happens every season in the mansion. After Xiaoyi won another one-sided victory, she didn't feel any joy.Fighting against these people who are inferior to her in terms of IQ and background is really unfulfilling.Thinking of how many years she had been entangled in her previous life, she would make a note of fourth master in her heart, because he was used to it.

**
Leading the three children back to the room, she happened to see Chun Xing waiting beside her.

"Is it found out?"

Chun Xing took a step forward and lowered her voice: "I'm not too sure, I only found something suspicious. During the time when the maid's younger brother was seriously ill, one of my master's disciples was inviting the name of Jingzhong to collect various rare medicinal materials. , to treat his Ama's illness. The servants inquired, all the medicines that the little elder brother used to save his life are being embezzled."

"Oh, what else?"

Xiaoyi probably knew in her heart that it must be the couple who were sad and angry at the "Wangfu who overbearingly restrained medicinal materials".It's a pity that in the past two years, she was pregnant first, and then took care of the twins. She rarely went to Wu Ya's place, and even if she went there occasionally, she would not doubt her people casually.

"The maidservant's sister-in-law said that she met those two people when she went out to offer incense a few days ago. They seem to live on the edge of the capital and work for a Zhuangzi."

Zhuangzi, is this strange?First of all, ordinary banner people, how can they know the pharmacology in detail, and be sure that a single medicine can kill someone.Secondly, as long as a doctor is smarter, he will not point out to him with hatred and enmity that all the medicines will be snatched up by the cronies of King Yong.

Moreover, they deliberately concealed their whereabouts, which seemed strange no matter how they looked at it.

"Chun Xing, you choose two neat people, and go to the Zhuangzi to confirm in person."

Xiaoyi instructed that now is the troubled time, and one of her mistakes almost turned into a big mistake.Now, things have to come to light.

"Be careful, it mainly depends on whether Zhuangzi belongs to the crown prince or the eighth prince."

After repeated exhortations, she pondered over this matter over and over again.

Yao'er was looking at the account book at the side, and Jin'er was lying on the bed with a dignified expression, not knowing what she was thinking.Suddenly she sat up with a gulu, and snatched the pastry from her younger brother.

"Sister, give me something to eat."

"Eat, eat, eat, you've become a pig. I'm not asking you to think about how the emperor will react?"

Hongxin's ears drooped and his eyes rolled around, like a cat abandoned by its owner: "Sister, you are more experienced in this matter, so you can just say no?"

Zhijin stopped talking nonsense with him, but put the snack plate aside.

"Mother, don't worry too much, the emperor won't be angry with us."

Although she regards Jin'er as her daughter who needs her care and care, Xiaoyi still has a bit of cognition in her instinct, that is, the younger daughter's judgment is generally not wrong.Sometimes, she was even sharper than fourth master.

"what happened?"

Yao'er, who was looking at the account book, also stopped writing, and turned her eyes to look at her sister.

"Mother, think about it, if you had a child who was replaced by another concubine in the mansion since childhood, lost your noble status, and lived a cautious and hard life. Once the truth came out, what would you think? It was because of the deception of this concubine. , and even hate the child under her name? Or do you feel that you owe him?"

"It must be owed."

Jin'er spread her hands: "Compare your heart to your heart. Although the current emperor is a little arrogant, he is still a loving father in general. To be honest, he treats the children much better than Dad."

While talking, she rolled her eyes in disdain, and spit out a long series of words quite annoyed: "Look at what he did in his previous life. For the sake of Hongli, he let Niu Gulu's family run free. He forced Hongshi to die. Driven Hongli crazy, and adopted his old son Hongzhan out. It really makes people feel that he was bewitched by someone, and he loves Niu Gulu's mother and son so much that he can't help it. On this point, what he did today It’s much better, he treats every son very well, and even makes them push their noses and fight for the throne.”

That's true, even though the ambitions of the princes were raised by Kangxi, how come the fourth master's sons are as well-behaved as cats.The reason for this is not because they knew that Yongzheng was more ruthless than Kangxi, and they broke this kind of thinking from the beginning.

"But your Ama's jade plate has not been changed until now."

"This is his compensation for Ama. Don't tell me you want him to be exposed, and then marry a Mongolian Fujin like Uncle Ten and have nothing to do all his life."

Hong Xin nodded: "Sister is right, the emperor must be on guard against the prince. Even if he has a heart now, there is still a powerful prince who will give him a headache. With the prince's style, plus an uneasy Hongli, His Majesty must not have bothered to take care of our family."

The two successful emperors both said so, completely convincing Xiaoyi.The fourth master was more low-key than in his previous life. Besides, with the crown prince and the eighth elder brother rushing ahead, even if they wanted to, they would be powerless.

What she has to do now is to cover up those traces of overseas trade as much as possible.

**
Taking out the overseas account books, Xiaoyi had a headache again.Fourth master really took that joke during pregnancy to heart.

After she was out of confinement, he brought two large boxes of account books, saying that all his net worth was contained in them.Xiaoyi didn't take it seriously at first, but she didn't recover for half a month after watching it.

"This is all of your Ama's family property. If Jin'er wants to be a queen, Erniang will ask for a piece of land in Xiyang."

At the top of the account book is a map. The part circled by Zhu Pi is the land occupied by Fourth Master overseas.Over the years, quietly, his fleet crossed the ocean and went to two other magical continents.

The people there are dark-skinned and their production levels are extremely low.Fourth Master's fleet didn't even shoot, and captured the hearts of the local nobles with gorgeous silk and exquisite porcelain.Over the years of trade, a large tract of land has been slowly exchanged.Up to now, these two pieces of land add up to half the size of the Qing Dynasty.

"I don't want it, I will fight for my kingdom myself!"

Jin'er was full of pride, and directly rejected Xiaoyi's proposal.In the end, she thought about it and added: "The land in the Qing Dynasty is too boring, just let the big brother take care of it."

Xiaoyi picked up her lost daughter and said softly, "That's not what Er Niang meant."

"I know, I would be skeptical too."

It still hurt her heart, Xiaoyi didn't know what to say.She and Fourth Master did have doubts, that the empress who abolished her two own sons to ascend the throne would care about her siblings in this life?She kept this thought in her heart all the time, but just now she couldn't bear it when she saw the base map, and said it out of nowhere.

"Jin'er is a good boy."

Apart from this sentence, she didn't know what to say.Yao'er came over, hugged her younger sister in her arms, and looked at her red eyes with some distress.Lifting her little hand, she said with a smile: "Jin'er is better than us. Let's build a big boat and go out to sea in the future. If we see something interesting, we can take it, okay?"

The gentle words painted a beautiful blueprint, instantly erasing Jin'er's fragility.With the teardrops in the corners of her eyes, she became that stubborn little doll again.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll get three thousand noodles for my sister. I'll grab whatever you like."

A row of crows flew by in the air, Hongxin paused in the air with his hand reaching for the pastry plate, and Xiaoyi looked at her son pitifully.Turning his head stiffly, he looked at his daughter who was having fun.

Three thousand faces are actually not bad, at least when you think about it, you feel very refreshed.With Fourth Master's temper, there are so many royal rules and regulations, she will never think about it in her life.But her daughter can do it, and once she thinks about it, she can't suppress it anymore.

Men in this world can have three wives and four concubines, so why should women stick to one and die.Her daughter is so good, with both beauty and wisdom, power and gold and silver, and she is better than most men in the world.Such a person should do whatever he wants and get the best of everything.

"I am an enlightened mother, and I have no objection to this matter. As long as you can pass your Amana's test, you can do whatever you want."

With a plop, it was Hongxin who fell on the bed.Covering his face, he couldn't say a word.Now the three women in the family are more powerful than him, so it's better for him not to fight for his own death.
