Cyan Lotus of Space Clearance

Chapter 111 Whose Leisure Life?
Because most of the government affairs were left to Prince Yong, Kangxi lived a leisurely life that he had never had before. Compared with the life of hard work since 47, he is like a god.

On this day, he also took the empress dowager out of the palace with high spirits, and followed Yinyou to Duozaixuan with a light car, which gave Su Yierha a big jump.

"Okay, don't be nervous, it's rare to see these children so happy, let Xuanye and I be ordinary people's Mafa and Ukuma for a day, and don't let the rules restrict them." The empress dowager said happily , She had never been to Prince Yong's Mansion, and she didn't know how many vegetables and fruits could be grown in one yard, so she asked Su Yierha to walk around with her.

The peaches, watermelons, and grapes of this season have all produced fruit, and because Su Yierha often waters the space, Duozaixuan bears fruit earlier than ordinary fruit trees, and the fruiting period is longer, which makes all the fruits of this season very beautiful. There are some that are ripe enough to be picked and eaten immediately, and some that are still small and green. There are a variety of them, but they will not be too ripe to eat all at once.

The queen mother asked again and again with great interest. She had eaten many of the vegetables and fruits grown in Xuanxuan, but she had never seen them grow in the ground, they were very fresh.

"Sit down and have a rest with a cup of tea." Kangxi was fighting by the pond with a fishing rod. The other fruits brought in - lychee, longan, dragon fruit, etc. took out a box each and put them aside for others to eat.

The Empress Dowager took the tea, the fragrance of the tea was clear, she took a sip lightly, her mouth full of fragrance, refreshing her heart and nourishing her spleen, she couldn't help asking in surprise: "What kind of tea is this?" She glanced at the little girl who made the tea, and was surprised again. The little girl is very handsome, bright and fresh like a delicate flower shining in the water, but she also has a temperament of "poetry and calligraphy in her stomach". She doesn't look like she came from a small family, but her great-granddaughter It seems that there is no such person...

"This tea is fried by the concubine himself, it's not a famous tea." Su Yierha peeled a dragon fruit for the queen mother, and seeing the queen mother looking straight at Daiyu, he introduced: "This is Master Lin Ruhai, the scholar in charge of the Imperial Academy. His daughter, the concubine likes it very much and often takes their siblings over to play."

"My daughter Lin Daiyu pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is auspicious." Then Lin Daiyu came forward to greet her.

The Empress Dowager liked her well-behaved appearance very much. Although her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Dong E back then, her demeanor was much purer and quieter, and more indifferent and transparent. "Come on, there are not so many rules today, the tea you make is very good."

"It's the tea from Fujin." Lin Daiyu didn't dare to take the credit.

"Ge Ge, run slowly—" Xiao Bingya ran over with a small bamboo basket in which there were two big peaches.Grandma Zhu carefully guarded her back, and she tried to get the basket for her several times but was dodged by her.

"Why did you run in such a hurry?" Su Yierha bent over and asked, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the dust off her face.Bingya calmed down, held up a small basket and said to her, "This is for Ukumamo and Mafa, it's delicious."

"We Bingya is really filial!" The queen mother happily took the bamboo basket, smelling the tempting fruity fragrance, handed it to Aunt Qing who was beside her and said, "Cut one and send it to Xuan Ye."

"Sister Daiyu, why don't you pick peaches?" Bingya saw Daiyu, walked up to her, raised her face, and asked with her dark eyes, "Just now Uncle Shiba was asking why brother Jingyu didn't see you?" Woolen cloth."

Lin Daiyu blushed, she was already eight years old, she had to avoid it, she was already very happy to be able to come to Zaixian.If it hadn't been for Jia's mansion to send someone to pick her up to live there, and she didn't want to face that jade-bearing cousin all day long, she would still hesitate to come to Prince Yong's mansion—often coming to Prince Yong's mansion instead of going to Jia's mansion, Unavoidably, those relatives said in secret that they look down on their grandparents' family because they are climbing dragons and phoenixes, and besides, they are already eight years old, so it is not suitable for them to get along with eighteen elder brothers and those grandchildren...

Lin Ruhai has a sense of freedom that other scholars don't have. Although he lives in the south of the Yangtze River, he doesn't ask his daughter that "a woman without talent is virtue" like other Han ladies, and he doesn't let her bind her feet. He almost treats her as her son. It wasn't until Lin Jia's death that Mrs. Jia wanted to take Daiyu to live there (the nickname is "education"). He suddenly realized that his daughter needed a female elder to teach him, and also needed to learn what women should do. A school housekeeper or a female celebrity...Of course, under the influence of Lin Ruhai, such Lin Daiyu didn't pay much attention to some secular etiquette. It wasn't until she lived in Prince Yong's mansion and was educated that she gradually got to know her.

Su Yierha also didn't want to raise her to be a model girl who "doesn't leave the door and doesn't step out of the door" and "Women's Training" and "Women's Rules". Although she taught Daiyu the secular etiquette and rules, she didn't stick to her nature. Well, the Manchu children should be more cheerful, generous, and refreshing... The reason why Daiyu let her younger brother play with Hongye and the others today, but she waited beside Su Yierha and other elders, was really a time ago when she lived in Jia's mansion Cousin Baoyu is too careless, half of the results that the nurturing mother listens to every day, and the other half comes from the eighteenth elder brother. An inexplicable feeling made her subconsciously feel that she should distance herself.

"I want to talk to Ce Fujin about going to see my adoptive mother." Daiyu smiled slightly.

Su Yierha nodded, "It should be." Turning to Cui Zhu beside him, he said, "Accompany Miss Lin to Fujin's place, and remember to bring some peaches there." Xiao Bingya also nodded along with Er Niang With a small head, he wanted to follow, but after looking at Ukumamo who was sitting next to him with a loving face and Mafa who was fishing by the pond, he stayed behind.

"Yes." Cui Zhu responded with a salute.

"Go and have a look and go back. Anyway, you will live in the mansion for a while, and you will be filial." Su Yierha said to Daiyu.Daiyu nodded her head lightly, and saluted the Queen Mother: "Please excuse my daughter's resignation."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, she had a good impression of her for not flattering her side because of her status, she felt that Lin Daiyu and Xiao Bingya were standing together, and the two were like the jade girl in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. , is really pleasant.

Lin Daiyu didn't expect that she would still go to the peach forest, but she also wanted to pick some peaches herself—although it was a gift of flowers to Buddha, she had to do her best. "Qinglu, go to the Yilan Courtyard and get the gifts I prepared for my adoptive mother." She also prepared gifts for everyone when she came to Prince Yong's Mansion this time, and they were still left in the Yilan Courtyard.

"Yes." Qinglu hurried away.

"How come the fourth Fujin has become the little girl's adoptive mother?" the Queen Mother asked.

Su Yierha talked about the situation of the Lin family, and said: "Isn't it because Miss Lin is afraid that it will be difficult to get married without a female elder to teach her?"

The queen mother agreed very much after hearing this: "The secular world requires a lot from women, and it should be." She didn't continue to talk, and instead teased Xiao Bingya, asking her what she does every day, what she likes, and what she doesn't like...Xiao Bing Ya answered every question, and she was very serious. The Queen Mother felt that this great-granddaughter's appearance could be said to be the most elegant and refined among all the great-granddaughters, but her expression was not too rich, and her emotional ups and downs were not as obvious as other three or four-year-old children. Very similar to the fourth elder brother now, he couldn't help but asked Su Yierha in wonder: "Has Bingya been with the fourth elder brother for a long time?"

The temper of the leader is acquired, but Bing Ya's temper is innate, she is also very puzzled.Su Yi Erha smiled awkwardly, "It has nothing to do with her, Ama, this girl was born with such a temper, and she is much better now than before. When she was younger, she didn't even like to talk." It caused her to lie on the little girl's bed every day Tell her stories, tell popular science... I try my best to tease her, but I'm afraid that the little girl will be autistic, or she will be gossiped if she is late in learning how to speak.

"Your brother is also very similar to Mafa. What's wrong with Bingya being like Ama?" The little boy's serious questioning with an indifferent face was still very funny. The Queen Mother smiled and asked: "Brother? What about Xuan Elder brother whose birthday is on the same day as Ye?"

"Yes."

"It really looks like me? Then you have to take a good look at it." Kangxi was carrying a small wooden bucket, and there were two fishes in the small bucket of water, no wonder he was so pale, it was less than an hour , Does it depend on people when fish take the bait? "Come on, bring some food, and by the way, let someone bring Hongchen here, so I and the Queen Mother can take a look."

He was by the pond, drinking tea from Li Dequan, eating sweet and juicy fruits, watching his children and grandchildren happily picking peaches in the peach forest on the other side with small bamboo baskets, waiting for the fish to bite... Suddenly I felt a little stupid for a while, and raised an heir earlier to throw away the burden, and I still use it to bother those brats fighting over and over again?
However, he sighed, and there was nothing he could do. How could the foundation of his ancestors and the land of the Qing Dynasty be handed over to others casually? Although the crown prince had made him proud, he still didn't trust him deep in his heart, right now? , I am also worried that the fourth child is not mature enough to suppress his brother...

Hey, I have stolen half a day of leisure, so worry about it for a few more years.

"Yes." Su Yierha took Xiaomu? , Looking at the lively fish inside, I thought to myself, I still have to cook, I originally wanted to hand it over to Qiushi today...I didn't expect Kangxi and the Queen Mother to come.

"Mafa, eat longan." Bingya offered her favorite longan, which was still peeled.

The skin of the longan was peeled cleanly without cutting the crystal flesh.Kangxi took it with a smile: "Bingya is so good, just let the servant peel the longan, be careful of hand pain."

"Emiang said, if you want to eat, you can peel it yourself." Bingya replied, "Bingya can peel it by herself." Then she peeled another one and handed it to the queen mother, "Ukumama, you can eat it too."

"Good boy." The Queen Mother also ate with a smile. "Okay, Mama Ukuma can peel and eat by herself..."

Kangxi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. "Yes, we peel and eat for ourselves, haha."

The chubby and cute appearance of Hongchen, who was carried by the nanny, almost immediately conquered the queen mother. Although he was not as handsome as Hongye and Bingya in terms of appearance, he had exactly the same slender eyes, straight nose, and thin lips as Kangxi. ...but gave him a lot of points. "Xuan Ye, look at him, his smile looks more like..." The Empress Dowager couldn't bear to let go of her, she really wanted to take her back to the palace to raise her.

"Is it similar?" Kangxi flexed his fingers and poked Xiao Hongchen's tender bun face, but he was caught by his waving little hand, and he pulled it into his mouth...

"Of course, I hugged you a lot with your aunt and grandma when you were young." Not long after Kangxi was born, he was hugged and raised by the then Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Because she often served her aunt, she also teased Kangxi when she was a child. Because of the loneliness in the deep palace, he paid a lot of love to the little him.

"Empress, why don't you take Hongchen to the palace to raise?"

The queen mother paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it. I'm getting older now, and my energy isn't as good as before. Even if I raise it, I won't be able to raise it for a few years. Why let this child leave his mother at a young age and become estranged from his family."

Kangxi is silent, even if his feelings are a little loose, he still has a natural instinct of flesh and blood, such as Concubine Yi and Yinqi, concubine Wanliu Hashi and Yinyu... There are not many concubines like Defei.

Different from Kangxi's lenient treatment of officials, Prince Yong Yinzhen paid more attention to the hard work of officials. After a period of adaptation, some officials in the court felt that such a master was easy to serve, everyone was equal, and what he paid would be rewarded. You don't have to think about how to flatter your boss's preferences all day... Of course, there are some people who are exceptionally promoted, but most of them are still promoted based on their seniority and political achievements, so there is nothing to complain about.

There are also some grievances, those who are used to using money to open the way with beauties, and relying on their ancestral shadows to mix in officialdom, feel that everything is not going well, and they are as cautious as they are in prison... Inevitably they get together and talk a few words, thinking about how to change Prince Yong It would be great to become a virtuous and benevolent Babeile like the emperor...

Yinzhen knows what these people think, but as long as they don't make big mistakes, he will still look at Kangxi's face and tolerate their existence. After all, he now knows better than in his previous life that "when the water is clear, there will be no fish" and "if you are impatient, you can't eat hot." Tofu", but they are not satisfied with colluding with other people to delay the government order and stumbling him, and he will not be polite. The impeachment of the censor in the court will soon be thrown in front of them like a snowflake... Automatically click Those who want to go home early to take care of the elderly, those who don't give up can only ask you to go to the destination where NN was exiled thousands of miles away.

The tax reform system that Kangxi personally took the lead in implementing has also begun a smooth transition and has seen good development.There is resistance, after all, which honorable official does not have Zhuangzi shop under him?To collect more taxes from merchants is to cut more of their flesh. How can they not object to the interests?But these were trivial matters for Kangxi. The strategy of pulling one and hitting one was used with great proficiency. Those officials could not be united as a whole, and they were not really willing to die, so they were resolved after two or three blows.

Seeing that the treasury's silver taels were increasing day by day, Kangxi smiled so contentedly, and finally realized why Yinzhen loved merchants so much, and that was also a sense of accomplishment.

The Qing Dynasty entered a stage of relatively stable development.
