The rolling thunder seemed to come from the horizon.
Lin Yutong opened his eyes suddenly and saw the fourth master's hand coming over him immediately, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid."
"No." Lin Yutong saw the girl was about to close the window and waved her hand: "It's just a natural breeze. It's quite boring these days."
Fourth Master stretched himself comfortably and said, "Don't be too greedy for coolness."
Just when Lin Yutong was about to answer, several bolts of lightning illuminated the dark sky, followed by thunder as if it was exploding in his ears.
"Don't ask the eldest brother and the second brother to come over for dinner." Lin Yutong stood up and told the girl: "Ask the mothers to accompany you, and you are not allowed to leave the house."
The fourth master looked at the sky outside and suddenly sneered, "I don't know if Lao Ba will thoughtfully prepare hot meals and umbrellas for the adults on duty right now."
Lin Yutong felt embarrassed. This master really only allowed himself to scheme against others. Once others took advantage of others, he felt annoyed. However, the strange thing about Lin Yutong was that the fourth master didn't seem to have much ill feelings toward Prince Zhi, on the contrary.
I have a very low opinion of this eighth master.
But she didn't dare to ask, she just smiled and said: "He sells his goods well, let's live our lives. I looked at those scholars who said 'Gong begets enlightenment, integrity begets authority', but I have never heard of it.
Because selling good things everywhere can make people admire them from the bottom of their hearts. Everyone says he is good, but he is just taking advantage of others' shortcomings. Why should I be angry about this? No one is a fool. This is good. If you want to win people's hearts, you can't.
."
The Fourth Master pulled Lin Yutong to sit next to him and said, "If I want to be angry about this, why should I be so angry? The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not have much ice this year, but he has become a good person. But the role in the palace is short."
The elder brothers just paid it back, and the younger princesses didn’t even get the ice. Not to mention the unfavored masters in the palace. You said this would be done..."
"Is everything okay there, Madam?" Lin Yutong asked.
The Fourth Master snorted, "My wife has taken good care of Lao Ba's temperament. With the Master and the Fourteenth here, he doesn't dare to mess around. But if he really loses power one day, look at Lao Ba's temperament."
Face."
Lin Yutong interrupted him smoothly: "Please touch him, this child has been moving a lot these days."
The Fourth Master's attention was instantly diverted, "It seems like this is a kid, so moving."
Lin Yutong was startled, this is really right. Lin Yutong checked his own pulse, he was indeed a boy.
"Good boy. Good boy. A boy has less worries than a daughter. If she were really a girl, she would really have to worry about her future life." Lin Yutong said and added: "It's getting cold now. Let's put a pot in the kitchen."
After a while, the fourth master who interrupted him also forgot about being angry.
The days passed like this, and when the weather got cooler and August entered, the emperor was about to return to Beijing.
The fourth master was busy preparing to welcome the holy driver again.
What made Lin Yutong feel incredible was that the emperor would issue an edict on the way back to Beijing, asking one of his sons to pick him up.
This time he was still in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial edict said that he wanted to see Prince Zhi, and ordered Prince Zhi to pick him up.
With such an honor, in order to show his desire to see the emperor, Prince Zhi had to rush on the road desperately. The drive to Jiangnan was also very intoxicating.
After the fourth master came back, he went directly to the outer courtyard without even taking a few bites of food.
Dai Duo listened to what the fourth master relayed and glanced at Wu Sidao. Wu Sidao looked at the fourth master, dipped his finger in tea and wrote a few words on the table. The fourth master took a quick look and saw that it was "Tune the tiger away from the mountain"
.
He couldn't help but gasp.
According to this idea, it is speculated that the emperor brought the prince to guard against the prince. Now that Prince Zhi is transferred directly to the emperor, it is to guard against Prince Zhi setting up in the capital...
The more I think about it, the faster my heart beats. Is Huang Ama already so wary of her son?
He waved his hand and told the two of them to go down first. He had to think carefully about the way forward from now on.
Emperor Ama doesn't like a son who threatens him, so he can't be a son who makes him feel threatened. But this can't make the emperor feel threatened, but he can't do nothing because of it. This degree is not easy to control.
It wasn't until midnight that Su Peisheng dared to remind Fourth Master to rest.
Lin Yutong rested early and felt someone was around her. She opened her eyes, looked at them, and closed them again. She was really sleepy.
When I was half asleep, I suddenly heard Fourth Master say: "Tell me, what does a father want his son to be like?"
"What do you want Hui'er to look like?" Lin Yutong replied and continued to sleep. The hearts of fathers all over the world are the same. It is not difficult to understand if you think about it from another angle.
Fourth Master had a flash of inspiration in his heart and seemed to have some enlightenment.
The next day, the Fourth Master went out. Lin Yutong remembered what the Fourth Master said in the middle of the night and said to Honghui: "In this life, don't play tricks on your Ama. What do you think and say in your heart? Do you understand?"
Let’s not talk about the fourth master’s heart towards the children, nor how much he is thoughtful, but just the experience of struggle. No matter how many years Honghui practices, he will still not be the fourth master. It’s better to be a good boy.
After sending Prince Zhi away, the Fourth Master called the imperial doctor again and inquired about the Eighth Master's condition with great concern. The next day, the Eighth Master showed up. In this capital, the Fourth Master couldn't let the Fourth Master have the final say alone.
Who would have thought that as soon as the eighth master took over the affairs, the fourth master would go home. I would like to give this credit to the eighth master for welcoming him.
Looking at Fourth Master who was calmly practicing calligraphy on the desk, Lin Yutong somewhat understood what he meant.
When it comes to power, if it is given, we will take it. If it is not given, we will not take it away. Whether it is an elder brother or a younger brother, he will give it to anyone who wants the power in his hands. There is no intention of giving up.
When Kangxi received a letter from Lao Ba requesting him to go out of the city to meet the emperor, he asked Prince Zhijun who had already picked him up: "Is Lao Si taking care of the affairs in the capital?"
When Prince Zhi saw Lao Ba's trick, he felt like he had a clear vision. He had left, and Lao Ba came out again. Lao Si didn't know what kind of trick he was playing again.
Hu. He smiled and said: "When I return to Huang Ama, Lao Ba has been ill for some time, I'm afraid he is better now." As for who is in charge, he is far away and it is unknown.
The prince listened and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The fourth child was much smarter than the eighth child. He seemed to understand something.
Seeing that Old Thirteen was acting like a mute all the way and didn't say a single unnecessary word. The prince felt a little pity for his younger brother who had lost his mother since he was a child and had to take care of his younger sister. On this day, the Emperor asked Old Thirteen to send him to learn how to teach himself.
In the cabin, he stared at the empty space and said softly: "Thirteen, listen to my second brother's advice. From now on, I will often walk around with your fourth brother."
Although Thirteen didn't know what it meant, he could still feel the kindness in it. Seeing that another eunuch came to invite him, he almost burst into tears. The prince of the country is not free to move. He even has to avoid saying a word.
Facing the person, Thirteen could hardly suppress his emotions. He called out "Second Brother" in a low voice.
The prince's footsteps paused and he left without even looking back.
His cabin is next to the prince's, and his task is to tell the emperor what the prince said to everyone on that day and time when asked.
He is not accompanying the driver, but is actually guarding and monitoring the prince.
He was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night long.
Prince Zhi went to the deck and saw the lost Shisan, and came over, "What would you look like in the eyes of someone who cares about you? I'll accept your tears."
The Thirteenth Master wiped his face, looked into the distance, and heard Prince Zhi whisper: "You only think your brother, the prince, is pitiful, don't you? Then you don't think I, your eldest brother, am pitiful anymore?"
After saying that, he smiled to himself and turned back to his cabin.
Mr. Thirteen found it difficult to even breathe.
I was going to pick up the driver, and the Fourth Master got up at three o'clock in the morning again. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat well that day. Who knows when the emperor would arrive, and it would be inconvenient to keep going.
The five-spice jerky was specially made the day before. I put a bag in it for Fourth Master to hang up. In another bag, Lin Yutong packed it with mint candies. It can not only quench thirst, but also remove odor.
Among the princes who stayed behind, the third master was the eldest this time. He took all the princes and ministers and left the city thirty miles early, standing in the sun, waiting for the arrival of the holy driver.
By noon, the autumn tiger in August was still very poisonous. Everyone felt dry and did not dare to drink more water.
The fourth master put mint candies in his mouth one after another. Su Peisheng later brought a cup of tea, which was light green and he didn't know what to make it with. Everyone could smell the faint sour taste. It was unbearable.
Keep your mouth shut.
Everyone gulped as they watched Fourth Master drink it down in one breath.
The light sour fruity taste, coupled with the coolness of mint, is really better than drinking tea.
"Fourth brother, you are unkind. You have been eating alone since you were little. Now, you won't be reluctant to give a cup of tea to your brother." The third master whispered to the fourth master.
The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and then said: "Pour me a drink, I didn't hear you."
Su Peisheng whispered: "Sir, Fujin made this by himself. There are not many tea bags, and the slave doesn't know if they are enough?"
The fourth master was stunned, "Fu Jin asked you to take it with you?"
"Fu Jin made it all by himself. I don't even know what was put in it." Su Peisheng almost cried.
Master Qi said from behind: "Go get a big pot and make it a little lighter. It's better than this Laoshizi hot tea, and it won't be the same cup after cup." If it's really not enough, he can't compete with his brother and has to give in.
With my brother, I am the one who suffers. Drink a big bowl of tea. A big bowl of tea is good.
Su Peisheng quickly responded.
The Fourteenth Master held the tea in his hand, looked at the light green water inside, took a sip, and said to the Fourth Master: "Fourth Brother, please give me this recipe."
He wants everything! The fourth master’s face turned dark. This man not only picked the peaches from the tree, but also wanted to take the peach tree as well. I got used to him. But he is such a big man, and he can still stand in front of so many people.
Is it okay if someone pokes him in the face?
Then he said: "Your sister-in-law made it by herself. Where can I find the recipe? The weather is different, and the things inside are different. Where can I find the recipe for you? I will ask you Fujin later to learn from your sister-in-law." (
