The weather has warmed up, and the fourth master has also begun to be busy, because the emperor suddenly ordered a southern tour. This is the fifth southern tour. This time, only the prince and the thirteenth elder brother were taken away.
As for the affairs of the capital, they were only left to Prince Zhi, the Fourth Master, and the Eighth Master.
The emperor is on a tour to the south. This does not mean that you can walk with your feet. Every step you take is money. The fourth master is in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the money has to pass through his hands. In order for the emperor to set out smoothly, the fourth master these days
Lived directly at the Yamen of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Affairs. Lin Yutong asked people to send all the household things. Thinking that the emperor was not here, he also asked the Fourth Master to be the director. I am afraid that this stay will not be short. Who knows that the emperor has just left?
In the capital, Fourth Master is back.
"Aren't you busy?" Lin Yutong asked.
The fourth master smiled, and Lin Yutong felt that this smile was unfathomable. Hearing him say: "It's boring to see you bored in the house all day. Tomorrow we will live in Zhuangzi, and we will take Honghui and Hongyun with us. Mo Ya
Qi, take it with you too."
I asked you to take charge of things but you just ignored me. Is this really a good thing?
Lin Yutong didn't ask too many questions. He probably couldn't outplay him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the final winner, right?
The next day, the two of them took their three children and left the capital directly.
In Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Lin Yutong felt at ease. She could move around freely. She felt that the world was vast when she went out, which was much better than being bored in the yard. There was also a garden in the house, but she didn't want to see other women.
I'm too lazy to go out.
Simply take Mo Yaqi and the girl with you, a small shovel and a basket, and dig wild vegetables on the edge of the field.
The fourth master, Hong Hui and Hong Yun, were digging the ground. Lin Yutong looked at the ground that the fourth master had turned over. Needless to say, he was really willing to put in the effort. At first, she thought it was these eunuchs who were digging the floor again for the fourth master at night.
Now I realize that no matter what this person does, he always brings a serious energy.
Hong Yun pulled out the remaining grass roots on the ground, but he couldn't pull them out even with all his strength. He squatted on the ground with his buttocks. The robe he was wearing was made of high-quality tribute brocade. With this pull, it was completely ruined.
.The harvest from this land cannot even be exchanged for a single piece of clothing.
I don't know what the picture is.
The fourth master turned around and said to Lin Yutong: "I told them to change their clothes, but you said that the linen is abrasive. Look at it. It should be ruined."
"It's okay. It's the same thing if I make it smaller and wear it for my brother." Lin Yutong answered.
"Nonsense." Fourth Master stood down, wiped his sweat and said, "What do you want to do?" He pointed at the vegetable basket held by Lin Yutong.
"I'll make vegetable dumplings for you at noon." Lin Yutong said, tilting the basket for the fourth master to look at, "This is what Mo Yaqi came for. Our big brother can do it too."
Mo Yaqi pursed her lips and smiled sheepishly: "I don't know if I'm looking for the right one."
The fourth master nodded and said with a smile: "Ask your direct wife, she knows."
Of course, Lin Yutong couldn't let Fourth Master know that he really knew most of the wild vegetables. He just felt embarrassed and said to Mo Yaqi: "Don't be afraid. Everyone in the kitchen knows them. I picked out the ones that are inedible."
Fourth Master laughed.
At noon, Lin Yutong actually cooked the vegetable dumplings himself. After steaming them, he cut them into thin slices. He also asked someone to prepare the dipping sauce. The Fourth Master was so impressed that he finished off a whole plate by himself.
Honghui and Hongyun shared a plate, and Lin Yutong and Mo Yaqi shared a plate.
"The life of the common people is so difficult, and they have to fill their stomachs with wild vegetables." The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong and said, "Fujin has cooked a good meal. We must let them know that the common people's life is not easy."
"Amma, these wild vegetables are not unpalatable." Hong Yun whispered.
The fourth master's eyes widened and he was about to start preaching. Lin Yutong quickly said: "When my mother-in-law made this, she used the best flour and eggs. The sauce was also mixed with sesame oil and spicy oil. Naturally it's not
It tastes bad, and it has a special fragrance. How can ordinary people afford it?"
The fourth master snorted and said: "Tonight, let's make another dish for the common people. Let the two brothers know how difficult people's livelihood is."
Lin Yutong responded quickly. Why did this stupid kid just hit the muzzle of the gun?
In the afternoon, the Fourth Master took his two elder brothers down to the fields again. Grandma Yuan asked, "Are you really going to give that to the elder brothers?"
"Eat! The common people eat, they eat. Not only the two elder brothers eat like this tonight, but me and my father also eat like this." Lin Yutong's eyes were far away. Although she was reluctant to part with it, she had to say that the fourth master was better at educating children.
You need to be more principled.
"Get some linen and I'll make them two pieces to wear in the field." Lin Yutong said to Grandma Yuan.
If this country is destined to be handed over to the next generation, then why not start teaching the next generation of successors seriously from now on.
Aunt Yuan would be reluctant to let go of Fujin in the future. Unexpectedly, Fujin could also be cruel in some matters.
In the evening, Lin Yutong asked Mo Yaqi to eat in her own room, but she followed the common people's way, a bowl of brown rice porridge, a plate of corn grits and wild vegetables, and nothing else.
The fourth master looked at the food on the table, took a deep look at Lin Yutong, and gently patted Lin Yutong's hand.
"Let's eat." The fourth master took the steamed buns on the table and took a bite. His expression gradually became serious. He swallowed the gruel slowly.
Lin Yutong also took one and slowly put it in his mouth to chew. The texture was really rough and it was a bit irritating to the throat. But it was already dry rice. Many people just added some wild vegetables to brown rice porridge and it was considered a meal.
Honghui and Hongyun looked at each other, picked it up, and took only one bite. Their expressions suddenly changed. How long had they ever eaten this before? Honghui glanced at Lin Yutong, and suddenly remembered the story of Zhu Yuanzhang told by E Niang.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had suffered from starvation, so after he became emperor, he attached great importance to farming. Even Queen Ma even farmed the land herself in the palace.
He held the wild vegetable steamed bun in both hands and started eating seriously. He also picked up the scraps that fell on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. He choked and drank a mouthful of porridge and drank it down.
Hong Yun frowned, soaked all the steamed buns in the porridge, and ate them with chopsticks.
After eating, Fourth Master touched their heads and said, "Go ahead and ask the nuns to wash them for you. Go to bed early."
Seeing the two children bowing and retreating, the Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong to sit on the couch on one side and said, "I thought you were reluctant to part with it?"
"It's true that I can't bear to give up. But I'm right." Lin Yutong said with a smile: "If I don't teach my children, I won't say what it is."
Fourth Master stroked her back and said, "It's good that you understand my painstaking efforts. It's just that you don't have to suffer along with me, and you're still pregnant with the child."
"Whole grains are the most nourishing. It doesn't matter. You see, the children of poor families are stronger than the children of rich families. I thought, sometimes, this extensive farming also has the benefits of extensive farming. There are also many peasant women who are about to give birth.
They still work in the fields. Giving birth is more smoother than the pampered grandmothers and wives." Lin Yutong said, took the linen cloth and started sewing again.
"That makes sense. But people are used to it. How have you been wronged for a day? You are not used to it. There is no need to force it to change." The fourth master said and went into the inner room to freshen up. It must have been this day.
It's also tiring enough.
After washing up, Su Peisheng brought two more large boxes. He knew he was in Zhuangzi, but he had not let go of matters in the capital at all. This man was not finished until he was exhausted.
She put down what she was holding and went to personally grind a bowl of black soybean milk for her fourth master and mix it with space water. She also grinded it out for her three children and asked someone to send it over.
Then he took the bowl and put it at the fourth master's hand.
The fourth master frowned and looked at the tea bowl for a long time. He held the tea bowl out of habit and drank the fragrant soy milk in his mouth. He didn't like the fishy smell of beans, but it turned out that it had the taste of sesame, walnuts, peanuts and jujubes, instead of the taste of beans.
It was diluted.
He looked up and saw Lin Yutong sitting opposite him. Perhaps because of her pregnancy and backache, she lazily leaned on the soft pillow and sewed linen coats for her two children to wear tomorrow when they went to work.
"Tell the slave to do it. Carefully hurt your eyes." Fourth Master couldn't help but said.
"As long as the clothes are sewn well, the size of the stitches is not important." Lin Yutong raised his head and smiled.
The fourth master took a look and saw that the collar and cuffs of the clothes were lined with fine cotton. It would definitely not hurt the child. After all, he still couldn't bear to part with it. It's all right, a strict father and a loving mother.
When Lin Yutong finished making both pieces of clothing, Fourth Master was still deep in thought.
Lin Yutong had no choice but to ask someone to order another bowl of wontons.
When he turned around, the fourth master was writing something. When the wontons were served, Lin Yutong glanced at it accidentally and saw that it was a note for the emperor. The note had written things about Zhuangzi, about the difficulties of farming, and about him.
He took Honghui and Hongyun to eat wild vegetables and whole grains. He sighed with emotion and couldn't help but think of Huang Ama's teachings when he was young. Now he also teaches his son the same way. When he thinks about it at night, he misses Huang Ama's sleep.
No. Only when I became an Ama did I really understand the state of mind of the Emperor Ama at that time. I couldn't help but write this letter home with tears in my eyes. I wanted to ask the Emperor Ama from afar if everything was okay.
The writing was so touching that Lin Yutong almost shed tears while reading it.
But after falling asleep, Lin Yutong finally thought about it. Is this some family letters for the emperor? This is definitely not the purpose.
But what is the purpose? The purpose is to let the emperor know that his fourth son was supposed to be in charge of affairs in the capital with Prince Zhi and the eighth master, but now he is accompanying his wife and children in Zhuangzi outside the capital to educate them about the joys and sorrows.
.
Why did such a situation occur? The fourth master had obeyed the imperial decree, and no one dared to say anything if he wanted to take charge of the affairs. But he just gave up the power. He was no longer greedy for power, but he left Prince Zhijun and the eighth master
Put it in a bag.
The fourth master is not greedy for power, so they are not holding on to power.
Does the emperor think that the fourth child will not go to Zhuangzi properly? It must be Prince Zhi or the eighth child who did something.
This is the most high-end complaint and statement. More importantly, it flatters me and strengthens the relationship between father and son.
How can this man be so smart?
When the fourth master lay down, Lin Yutong looked at the fourth master with shining eyes.
Fourth Master touched her back and said, "Forget it tonight. I just did it last night. Are you pregnant with the baby? Just take it easy."
Fuck you, Mr. Fourth!
The discounts from the capital are all delivered to Yuqian every day on a four-hundred-mile express.
Kangxi looked at Fourth Master's folding book, sighed, and handed it to Zhang Tingyu who was standing next to him, "Take a look."
Zhang Tingyu accepted it respectfully, thinking that this man is really capable. He saw the means from inside, but as a dear Ama, the first thing the emperor saw was an innocent heart. No father would treat himself like a child.
Children think the worst first. Besides, the things stated here are 100% true. For example, how the emperor once educated the princes, and now the fourth master teaches his son in this way. What is this? This is inheritance
.
"These sons of mine, when it comes to serving their duties with sincerity, they must be the fourth ones." Kangxi sighed.
Zhang Tingyu said: "This is also the result of the emperor teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. All the princes are dragons among men. They cannot be easily compared with them."
Kangxi nodded noncommittally, took the fourth master's note, wrote a few lines, and asked it to be sent back.
When the zhezi was sent back, Prince Zhi saw it first.
His face suddenly turned green. Among the brothers, the fourth child was the most evil-minded. He was completely square on the outside and round on the inside. He pretended to be upright and upright to fool others, but in fact he was more slippery on the inside than anyone else.
What a brilliant person to sue!
Damn it! We all have power, and you are extraordinary. Why is this bastard, Fourth, so evil-minded?
The person handing out the coupons outside is still waiting to deliver it to the fourth master. What does it mean that the prince holds it in his hand?
The eighth master glanced at Zhezi and sighed inwardly. The emperor kept the fourth brother this time because he was close to the prince and asked him to check and balance the elder brother. As a result, he was the one who fought against the elder brother, but the fourth brother stayed out of the matter.
He simply put down his hand and went straight back home to claim he was sick. Leave it all to the boss and see what he does.
When Prince Zhi found out that Lao Ba was ill, he was completely angry. How could Huang Ama rest assured that he was left alone? He really needed someone to come out and compete with him. This scene had to go on, right?
So I wrote a letter in person, expressing my sentiments to the fourth brother, your brother, I am almost exhausted. My brother knows that your talents are unparalleled. At this time, if you don't come out to help me, who else can help me? You
Come back to the capital quickly. My brother is waiting for you in the capital. Let's take care of Huang Ama's errands together.
When the zhezi instructed by Kangxi and the letter from Prince Zhi reached the fourth master's hands, he smiled with a bit of pride.
"Pack up, let's go back to Beijing in the next two days." Fourth Master ordered.
You have gained enough goodwill from the emperor to not be greedy for power, but Prince Zhi has no choice but to invite you back and share power with you.
How can this person be so calculating? He has such a big brain... I can’t accept it. (. )
