Chapter 241 Going on a business trip with the fourth child
The most interesting place in Yangzhou is actually Slender West Lake.
However, Yuzhu doesn't like going to this kind of gold-selling cave.
Lao Shiliu wanted to go, so he had to change into casual clothes and go alone.
Old Seventeen wanted to watch the fun, but he hesitated a little, so he didn't go with Old Sixteen.
After Kangxi lived in the palace, he never wanted to move again, and he didn't know when he would start again.
When Yuzhu saw a large pond in Xiaoyuan, he asked someone to boil hot water and pour it into the pond, turning it into a small heated swimming pool.
The swimming pool was about three feet deep, and Lao Shiba was surrounded by haha beads and eunuchs.
I think back then, Yuzhu’s son and daughter’s favorite thing was to play in the water.
Lao Shiba is naturally no exception!
"Kekeke..." Lao Shiba was soaking in the warm water and having an extremely happy time.
Lao Shiqi, who was also soaked in the water, looked at Yuzhu with an extremely complicated expression and said to himself, Yuzhu knows so much!
When Lao Shiqi was still young, how could he have such a playful companion to accompany him?
Others may not know it clearly, but as the days go by, Lao Qiu clearly sees that Lao Qiu can no longer live without Yuzhu.
Yuzhu wore big pants and was bare-chested, sitting on a rock in the water, looking at the happy old eighteen with a smile.
Hehe, if it were in the palace, how could Yuzhu dare to lead Lao Shiba, such a plaything to lose one's ambition?
To be honest, how could Kangxi’s sons have a truly happy childhood?
Even though he is only seven years old, he is already mature very early.
There is no way, the children in the palace will be eliminated if they do not mature early.
Not to mention anything else, Lao Shiliu was once famous before, but now he has disappeared from everyone.
The prince was more comfortable than the ordinary people. There were more than a dozen large pots set up under the stove, which continuously heated hot water.
The temperature in the swimming pool should always be kept within a comfortable range to prevent Lao Shiba and Lao Shiqi from catching a cold, which would cause big trouble.
Yuzhu's physique is actually pretty good.
Running is impossible, but he has practiced riding and shooting since he was a child, and his physical condition is much better than that of ordinary men under his banner.
The time in the water passed quickly, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Yuzhu dragged Lao Ba out of the water. On the shore, a tent had been set up long ago, with seven or eight charcoal basins inside, which was as warm as spring.
Worried about carbon monoxide poisoning, after Lao Ba dried his body and hair, Yuzhu ordered the eunuchs to remove the charcoal basin.
Now, the Haha Zhuzi, the eunuchs and the nuns around Lao Shiba are extremely respectful to Yuzhu and do not dare to disobey him at all.
After everyone changed their clothes and tidied up, they gathered around the small round table and started playing tractor with two decks of cards.
According to Yuzhu's experience, the more cards you have, the more you are forced to use your brain, and the more interesting the game becomes.
On the poker field, Yuzhu was in a group with Lao Shiba, and Lao Shiqi was in a group with his haha beads.
Long Diao was the sixth concubine son of Feng'en Zhenguo Gong Jingxi. Jingxi was also the seventeenth son of Yue Le, Prince An.
Coincidentally, Lao Ba's direct descendant Fujin is the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le.
Judging from this level of relationship, Long Tiao should have been close to Lao Bahe.
But the problem is that Ama Jingxi, who is in a long tune, has no ability and has never been valued by Lao Ba.
In addition, the people of Prince An's family were severely suppressed by Kangxi, and most of them were just waiting to die with Kong Jue on their backs.
Therefore, Jing Xi really loved his son, so he entrusted Long Tiao, who could not inherit the title, to Lao Qi.
Objectively speaking, the Qing Dynasty did learn from the historical lessons of Zhu Ming in controlling the inheritance of titles.
Not to mention anything else, Prince An alone, Yue Le, has twenty sons. If everyone can be crowned king, how can it be repaid?
The kinship relationships among the Manchurian bannermen are extremely complicated.
Logically speaking, Prince An's Mansion and Yuzhu are actually distant relatives.
why?
This is because Tong Jia, the successor of the current Anjun Prince Ma Erhun, is the eldest daughter of Tong Guogang.
Tong Guogang is Yuzhu's cousin. Based on this relationship, Ma'erhun, the king of Anjun, is actually Yuzhu's cousin.
However, Long Tiao and Ma'er Hui were separated by a room, so the relationship between him and Yuzhu was almost negligible.
When playing cards, Yuzhu and Lao Shiba cooperated very well. Often when Yu Zhu touched the left side of his nose, Lao Shiba would start to adjust.
When Yuzhu was scratching his ears, Lao Shiba played a single small card and asked Yuzhu to continue playing.
The battle was so fierce that the fourth child even walked to the round table, and several people were still fighting fiercely.
"Brother Four, are you here?" Old Seventeen was a little afraid of the cold-faced Fourth Brother. As soon as he saw Old Four coming, he quickly put down the cards in his hand and stood up to say hello.
The Eighteenth Old Man was pampered, so he was naturally not afraid of the Fourth Old Man. He stood up with a smile and nodded to say hello: "Fourth Brother, you are a very busy man, why do you have time to see us?"
Long Diao had been dealt with by the Fourth Brother, and he was a little afraid of the Fourth Brother. He stood up obediently and asked Zha Qian to say hello, "Please be safe, Fourth Master."
The fourth child has long said that Yuzhu and him don't need to be polite.
However, Yuzhu never failed to be polite in front of the fourth child, and this time was no exception.
"Please be safe, Fourth Master." Yuzhu also quickly saluted.
When the Fourth Brother has you in his heart, it is really good. He wishes he could give it to you as his wife.
However, if it touches the bottom line of the fourth child and makes him unable to bear it anymore, hey, Qing will wait for the brutal revenge.
"What are you playing for?" Lao Si asked when he saw the playing cards on the table and looked at Yuzhu.
With Old Seventeen and Old Eighteen present, Yuzhu's status was too low, so he could only look at Old Eighteen and let him answer.
After receiving the wink, Lao Shiba cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Back to Fourth Brother, we are playing with the tractor."
"Tractor?" The fourth child had never heard of a tractor, so naturally he asked the eighteenth child, "How do you play it?"
The eighteenth child explained the tractor rules in detail. After the fourth child understood it, he nodded and said, "Have you ever read a book every day?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is like an eldest brother teaching a younger brother!
When Yuzhu saw Lao Shiba's face slumped, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. Lao Si was such an old-fashioned person, and one sentence ruined the whole atmosphere.
"Back to fourth brother, I study every day. I read it a hundred and twenty times, memorized it a hundred and twenty times, and copied it a hundred and twenty times. I didn't dare to slack off at all." Old Eighteenth replied seriously.
Yuzhu knew in his heart that the sudden arrival of the fourth child was obviously a wild cat entering the house, and something bad would happen!
In fact, Yuzhu knew very well that there must be Kangxi's informant around Lao Shiba.
In other words, Kangxi didn't like the fact that Lao Ba was having so much fun and was looking for trouble.
Sure enough, Lao Si took out the bright yellow edict from his sleeve and read loudly: "Take the fourth elder brother Yinzhen and Yuzhu to inspect the river yamen."
"Your Majesty Yuzhu, I accept the order and thank you for your kindness." Yuzhu kowtowed and accepted the order, thinking to himself that he finally fell into the hands of Lao Si.
The fourth child is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Works and the Hedao Yamen, which happen to be within the scope of the Ministry of Works.
The River Governor's Office was originally stationed in Jining, but later moved to Qingjiangpu in Huai'an Prefecture, Jiangsu Province. It was in charge of the Yellow River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yongding River embankment, dredging and other matters.
On the way to Lanyang County in Henan Province on horseback, Lao Si talked a lot about the Yellow River.
Since historical records began, the Yellow River has changed its course many times, and the levees in Henan and Shandong have breached almost every year.
This time, due to sudden floods in the Yellow River and the unexpected summer floods, the Yellow River embankment near Tongwaxiang, Lanyang County, Henan Province, was in emergency.
Kangxi also paid great attention to the flood situation in the Yellow River, so he sent Lao Si to Henan to supervise the formation. Lao Si casually mentioned that he wanted Yuzhu to help.
It just so happened that Kangxi disliked Yuzhu leading Lao Shiba, and his life was too leisurely, so he agreed to Lao Si.
Lanyang County in the Qing Dynasty is now Lankao County.
In the fifth year of Daoguang's reign, Lanyang County and Yifeng County merged to form Lanyi County. In the first year of Xuantong's reign, the name was changed to Lanfeng County.
In 1954, Lanfeng County and Kaocheng County merged to form Lankao County.
This trip is really a hard job because Yangzhou is more than 1,500 miles away from Lanyang County.
Hi, Yuzhu really admires Lao Si's fierceness. This guy, leading Yuzhu, rushed to Lanyang County at a speed of more than 200 miles a day.
It only took six days!
When they arrived at the Tongwaxiang Embankment in Lanyang County, Lao Si's entourage, including Yuzhu, were all disheveled, covered in stinky sweat, and pale faces.
Nothing else was wrong. Because he was riding in such a hurry, the skin on Yuzhu's legs was torn.
The fourth child was actually not much better. The skin on his inner thighs was also scratched.
However, there was nothing strange about the fourth child's face.
Not to mention anything else, just this tenacity and forbearance is enough to make people feel frightened.
When Yuzhu was helped off the horse by Niu Tai, the fourth child had already dismounted.
When the fourth child saw Yuzhu's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work, are you exhausted?"
Yuzhu was not afraid of hardship, but he was too hasty to march like a march, and he did not prepare anti-wear breeches in advance.
As a result, he was hit and the inner sides of both thighs were repeatedly worn.
Fortunately, Niu Tai, an expert, was here. On the way, Niu Tai bought a lot of dog skin plasters for Yuzhu and applied them all over his inner thighs.
In this way, the worn areas on the inner thighs will not be subject to repeated friction.
"Fourth Master, if you say it's not hard, you're definitely lying. But if the embankment breaks, I don't know how many people will drown. If you think about it, even if your thigh is broken, it won't be too hard." Yu Yu
Zhu never told lies in front of the fourth child. He always said what he said and never added any fuel or jealousy.
The fourth child took a deep look at Yuzhu, nodded and said, "Good boy, I saw you right. You are indeed a capable official who does practical things, not one of those subordinates who only knows how to carry birds in cages."
After the test of the arduous journey, Yuzhu's image of being able to endure hardships, endure hardships and be very optimistic has truly become established in the mind of the fourth child.
As for whether Yuzhu is Zhao Kuo who is only good at talking on paper, Lao Si still has doubts for the time being.
Because, no matter how good your words are, the truth will always come out.
It's a mule or a horse. You'll know after you pull it out for a walk!
(PS: There will be another update in the early morning. Don’t wait, just watch it in the morning. Also, please inform me that I will have a rest on the 13th and there will be three updates.)
