The north wind was howling outside, but it was warm inside the house. Lin Yutong lay lazily in the fourth master's arms and said, "What on earth did the eighth master like about this Third Master Tong?"
"It's not for Longkodo, it's for Tong Guowei." The Fourth Master sneered, "Longkodo probably saw that I was too cold and wanted to find a new home. The old man is a cautious person. Because of the relationship between the emperor and his mother, he
Maybe he just feels that Longkodo has a closer relationship with me. Looking at the Tong family’s reputation, he can’t refuse this person, but he’s also afraid that Longkodo has me behind him. He doesn’t feel at ease. He calls Fujin to visit, and if he comes to visit,
Whatever comes out, of course it's the best. If you can't find anything, you might as well just use Longkodo without worrying about it."
Only then did Lin Yutong understand the trick here, "In other words, the eighth master still doesn't like Longkodo. He is close to Tong Guowei, and this third master Tong is completely dispensable. If Longkodo really
There is the shadow of Ye behind him. Ba Fujin's asking today is equivalent to warning us that he knows everything. So, Longkodo is an abandoned son. If the relationship between Longkodo and Ye is not that good,
When Bafu Jin inquired, it would be easy for people to misunderstand whether Mr. Tong San had already intended to get closer to Mr. Ba. In the future, he would not dare to use this person with confidence. He was doing this for Tong Guowei's sake.
It’s hard to refuse Longkodo, but I don’t really want to use it. But in order to prevent accidents, I don’t want to ask you to use it. That’s why Bafu Jin has this inexplicable visit today.”
The Fourth Master chuckled, "It's quite interesting."
When Lin Yutong closed his eyes, it was no wonder that none of them lived long. There were so many calculations behind such a small thing. All of them were exhausted to death by themselves.
"What? You're not interested anymore?" Fourth Master wrapped the quilt around the two of them and asked.
"Are you tired?" Lin Yutong opened his eyes and looked at him again.
The Fourth Master sighed, "Brothers like me, if we don't have these things in our hearts, we will all be in ruins."
This is true.
They are all bosses, and the emperor seems to be very cautious about the arrangements of this prince's elder brother. The fourth master is now supervising the household department, and the supervision is correct. But he can't stretch his hands too long. When the emperor speaks and assigns specific tasks,
Only they are useful, otherwise, it would be just a high-end decoration with no say in it.
Although the people below dare not really regard them as Bodhisattvas, they still have to be honest in everything, right?
Except for the third master who is on a book repair job, everyone else is very random. It all depends on the mood of the emperor above.
But if you ask Third Master, he doesn’t do these things either. But what else can he do if he doesn’t do this?
In this regard, we have to guard against anyone saying that he has won the hearts of literati.
None of it is easy.
Ordinary families only hope that their sons will be able to stand on their own feet and become adults as soon as possible.
But being born into the royal family, the emperor probably would rather raise them as children forever than let them grow up.
Lin Yutong sighed, "Go to sleep. Don't think about your troubles while lying in bed. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well at night."
The Fourth Master patted Lin Yutong, but he couldn't sleep even with his eyes open. He knew what Lao Ba was thinking. Although it was said that 'people who are suspicious should be used without suspicion, and people who are suspicious should not be used', but in fact, on the contrary, 'people who are suspicious should be used, and people who are suspicious should be used with suspicion'
It makes sense. No one in a superior position would be 100% trustworthy about the people who use them. This is human nature. Since you have to be suspicious of people, what does it matter if you use them if you are suspicious of them?
Lin Yutong's increasingly shallow breathing slowly reached his ears, and his eyelids also became heavy.
Lin Yutong never guessed what Fourth Master was thinking. Anyway, he couldn't figure it out even after guessing.
She raised her baby step by step, and it seemed like a blink of an eye, and the busy year passed by.
By the time spring comes next year and the flowers are blooming, Hongzhao can already run around in the yard.
The weather was warm, so Fourth Master suddenly asked Honghui and Hongyun to take some time off.
"You mean vaccination?" Lin Yutong said in astonishment.
The Fourth Master nodded, "Honghui and Hongyun should have been vaccinated two years ago. But Honghui got sick, so I didn't dare ask him to vaccinate. In the past two years, I have seen that my body has recovered. It's better to do it as soon as possible."
Plant it."
Lin Yutong thought about it and asked, "Where is Mo Yaqi?" She seemed to remember that Mo Yaqi had not been vaccinated against pox.
The Fourth Master nodded, "I don't know what to do? But I am still worried about Mo Yaqi's health."
Lin Yutong also knew the level of medical treatment at this time. In fact, vaccination was equivalent to giving the child an extra layer of insurance. The risk was not as great as imagined.
She said: "How about planting it for the children, and I will live with them."
"Nonsense! Hongzhao is still young." The Fourth Master immediately lost his face.
Lin Yutong glanced at the fourth master and said: "My sudden vaccination of children with pox must not have happened on a whim. I'm afraid the situation no longer allows people to feel completely at ease in leaving Honghui and Hongyun in the palace."
Kangxi was not out of the first month of this year, but he was on his sixth tour to the south. Why was he touring the south? Because the literary style in Jiangnan was flourishing, and because many people in Jiangnan were still saying that the prince was orthodox. Many people even clamored for the prince to come out and participate in political affairs.
.In such an atmosphere, the situation will only become more and more tense. These princes will not use such dirty methods to deal with children. But from ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people who consider themselves loyal ministers and warriors to make their own decisions. Some things
, once it gets out of control, no one can stop it. Even the girls and eunuchs who serve around him sometimes make decisions for the master, not to mention the ministers below. The fourth master is always cautious, and the first thing he has to do is to take care of his family.
He protects everything. The child is his weak point.
She looked at Fourth Master and said, "Master, don't worry and leave the child to me. Nothing will go wrong. I gave birth to Hongzhao, I know it well."
"Don't think that you can become a doctor after reading a few medical books." The fourth master still refused.
Lin Yutong said: "After what happened to Honghui last time, I don't trust him alone. Hongyun is not as good as Honghui at all. How can I really trust you? Mo Yaqi can't hold it back anymore, but her body
I also know that I am with the child, otherwise I can’t rest assured. But now Hongzhao recognizes me and can’t leave me for a moment, what should I do? Besides, since I think the situation is not good, Hongzhao can really be foolproof and make no mistakes.
?”
The fourth master frowned and said, "I'm not worried that someone will really attack the child. I'm worried that if the situation gets out of control, I will be trapped in it. No one will protect you by then... I can't feel at ease unless I arrange all these things."
He pondered for a long time before saying, "You stay with Hong Zhao outside, and I stay with Hong Hui and the others."
Fourth Master’s plan is very good, but it cannot keep up with the rapid changes.
During this southern tour, the emperor took the prince, the prince of Zhijun, the thirteenth master, the fifteenth master, and the sixteenth master with him. However, the affairs of the capital were left to the fourth master and the eighth master.
After the emperor left the capital, the Fourth Master returned to seclusion. Only the Eighth Master will be in charge.
But the imperial edict issued an emergency order of 800 miles, and there was a severe drought in Jinan, Shandong Province, and the fourth master was asked to take charge of the disaster relief. The fourth master was in charge of the household department, and it was his responsibility to allocate money and food. In addition, the disaster was like a fire, so he took things with him that day.
, lived in Hubu Yamen.
Lin Yutong happened to have someone clean the yard and put all the children in it.
Li Shi pulled Hongshi reluctantly, but Lin Yutong said: "Don't worry, I'll take you out the same way you brought him in."
At this time, vaccinations were all about smallpox, and only those with wealthy families could afford it, and it was far from popular. It would be even more impossible to vaccinate against cowpox.
With Lin Yutong's current status, it is not the time to bring this up rashly. If he can ensure that the children go out well, that's it.
Of course, Lin Yutong can actually treat acne. But what can he do to cover up his medical skills? You can't just feed your children blood every time. Besides, children will always grow up, and I can't always follow them.
There are always situations around them that are beyond human control, such as acne. You can feel at ease even if you get it.
Especially if you guard it by yourself, you will be absolutely foolproof.
After vaccination, fever will appear. Honghui's symptoms were the mildest and did not affect his normal life at all. He continued to read, write, and even dance swords every day. On the third day, he developed sporadic chickenpox, and Lin Yutong gave his family a spring break.
When I soaked in my favorite bath water, even the itching sensation was very mild.
The situation of Hongzhao and Honghui is similar. These two children probably have the best physical fitness because they provide the most care. Hongzhao has nothing major wrong with him except that he eats a little less.
"Eniang, leave your brother here with me and I'll keep an eye on him." Even though there is a grandma taking care of him, Honghui still wants to keep him under his nose. "Eniang wants to take care of my sister and the others, so I can rest assured."
Lin Yutong saw that the two brothers were having a good time and nodded.
This time, Mo Yaqi was the one who reacted violently. Her whole body was burning hot. Hong Yun was just lack of energy, but his mind was still clear. Hong Shi was better too, but he just stopped talking and couldn't move. Lin Yutong guarded Mo Yaqi all night, using
I was fed with space spring water. On the third day, the chickenpox came out and I woke up.
"My dear mother-in-law, I'm fine." Mo Yaqi felt confused with fever, but she still knew that Lin Yutong was watching over her.
Lin Yutong smiled and said: "It's okay. Once the chickenpox comes out, it will be okay."
On the fifth day, when the chickenpox on the children's bodies had changed color and scabs formed, Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief.
On the seventh day, the scabs began to fall off. The doctors blew the acne powder into the child's nose again to confirm whether the child was still infected and to judge whether it was successful.
As a result, after waiting for another seven days, the children were all jumping up and down. They played in the small yard all day long. Did they feel any discomfort anywhere?
The fourth master was so busy that Lin Yutong deliberately kept it a secret. When the fourth master learned the news and rushed back, he heard the laughter of children coming from the yard in the distance.
Several children were playing the game of eagle catching chicks. Mo Yaqi was the eagle, Honghui was the hen carrying Hongzhao on his back, followed by Hongyun and Hongshi. The laughter of the children could be heard in half of the mansion.
Fourth Master's heart was relieved, and he felt that his back was wet with sweat. (. )
