"Don't lie to me. Who did I ask to deliver the words in front of the emperor?" Ba Fujin sat on the couch with his back straight and his eyes lowered, not looking at Ba Ye's face. She knew that once she saw it,
He himself can't help but feel soft.
Ba Ye sat next to Ba Fujin, stretched out his arm and put his arm around her shoulders, "Be good! Listen to me."
Bafujin's heart trembled slightly following his words. He knew how to stir up his own heartstrings best. That's why he had eaten her so hard over the years.
Others say, what's so great about Ba Fujin? How can he keep Ba Ye so tight that he can live alone all these years?
In fact, it's not like Yinhu is trying to keep him tight. The more we get along with him, the more we can't live without him. The more we can't see him getting close to other women.
Those girls were of low birth. She knew that Yinhu had a grudge against people of low birth. She would never take these girls into her heart, so the two of them lived in peace and harmony in these years.
She was very sure that something like the emperor's praise of the concubine would not happen between Yinhu and any girl. This was enough for her.
She tried her best to help him. No matter what he wanted, she wanted to help him get it. She wanted to make him happy and satisfied. She wanted to let him know that in her eyes, he was the best.
of.
Over the years, the two of them have been here like this. She has always thought that the two of them will continue to go like this. When they grow old, he will still come back to her, and only to her. After a hundred years, that coffin will
Here, there will be no one else but her who can accompany him to sleep underground.
She planned it so stupidly.
But now, even this expectation is gone.
Bafujin didn't know what else he could hold on to.
She doesn't have a child. She probably won't have one in the future.
She is going to lose her husband. When this man is no longer her husband, it is no different from losing him.
She couldn't imagine that when he was with her, he was still thinking about another woman. How would she face it?
She didn't know if she could still have a peaceful mind when faced with this.
She was afraid, afraid that she would become disgusting. Just like today when she impulsively went to find her fourth sister-in-law.
Ba Ye felt Ba Fujin's trembling and hugged her whole body, "Good boy! Don't think too much. I was forced to have no choice. That slave Nian Gengyao was double-dealing and ran to the fourth man's house.
I apologized for my fault. The fourth man was ruthless and refused to let me in. He also asked me to get the slave. What could I do? It would be a pity to abandon it, and it would take a lot of effort to use it. At that time, the fourth man was there, and I didn’t go there at all.
, He Zhuo negotiated the terms with Nian Gengyao. I thought, after all, it is a woman. What the fourth child said today is true. The Nian family did have a good plan. But..." He whispered in Ba Fujin's ear.
, whispered: "If I don't ask her to give birth, she won't be able to give birth. Hongwang is in your name, let's figure it out slowly. Can I still be plotted by a slave?"
Ba Fujin looked at Master Ba in astonishment, "This year's family is not that simple..."
The Nian family are not ordinary Han people. Before the Manchus entered the customs, they were slaves of the royal family. It was not until the young father passed the imperial examination in the twelfth year of Shunzhi that he got rid of his slave status and joined the Han army.
Trimmed with white flag.
This kind of people who are royal servants outside the customs have no trace of the Han people in them. They are more deeply rooted than some Manchus.
Ba Ye naturally knew what Ba Fujin was talking about, and said: "This is why I value the Nian family. The Nian family has deep roots. Even though they are Han Chinese from a fundamental perspective, the emperor still trusts them. And like this
If a person is released to serve as an official, he will gain the natural favor of more Han people. Therefore, it will not be easy to find someone who can replace the Nian family."
Bafujin nodded and was about to speak, but found that he was led astray by Yinhu again.
Her face drooped, "It's good to say it now, but when I really see Jiao Didi's beautiful lady, I won't think of what I said now."
Ba Ye took Ba Fujin's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, "Don't worry, I'll be back with you every night from now on. No matter how late it is."
"Even if there is a new person?" Bafujin couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Ba Ye nodded, "Yes! Even if there is a new person, I will come back to accompany you every night."
He was not a cold-hearted person. He remembered what life they lived in the palace when she first married him. Without the protection of his mother and concubine, he was not favored by the emperor. At that time, the couple stayed together.
There will never be any woman who can live such a life with him happily.
Bafujin's tears flowed down her cheeks. She doesn't know if he can do this now. But she knows that Yinsu is sincere at this moment.
All her grievances seemed to have an outlet. She cried bitterly, but her heart was like a black hole, so empty and uncomfortable.
Lin Yutong snuggled into Fourth Master's arms, moved a little bit, and asked, "Don't you think it's a pity, Master?"
Fourth Master was stunned for a long time before he realized that she was talking about the Nian family.
He put his hand on her belly, touched it gently, and then said, "You don't know, I don't just care about middle-aged Gengyao, I also care about middle-aged Xia Ling." As the fourth master said, he sighed and said:
"Nian Xialing, in the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, he was the governor of Huguang. It was he who initiated the integration of Ding Yin into the land tax collection in the Seven Prefectures of Huguang. At that time, I had been paying attention to the Nian family."
Integrating Ding Yin into Tian Fu? Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Dividing Ding Yin into acres?" Unexpectedly, the initiator of this reform was actually Nian Xialing. It seems that the Fourth Master has a high interest in the Nian family.
, it’s not just Nian Gengyao’s good fighting skills and Xiao Nian Gao’s beauty. There are also many similarities between the two in terms of economic opinions at this age.
After listening to Lin Yutong's question, Fourth Master was stunned for a moment and then said: "This sums it up well, that's how it works."
Lin Yutong was embarrassed. She was just too surprised just now, so she blurted out. Now she realized that it was not called such a thing now. She laughed dryly and said: "I didn't expect that Nian Xialing was still a enterprising reformer and could put it into practice.
.”
The fourth master shook his head, "That's not the case. In fact, this... sharing the land with a small family was already established in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, land annexation was serious, and there were always some people with lofty ideals who wanted to save the already irreversible crisis. So,
With such a general intention, but before it was implemented, the Ming Dynasty fell. Nian Xialing was a bold man. At least he dared to use some things from the Ming Dynasty after perfecting them. The emperor also saw it
Hit him on this."
I see.
If you don't get close to history, you will probably never imagine that there are so many things between the protagonists of countless touching and touching stories, the fourth master and the little rice cake.
Therefore, the truth may not be as beautiful and moving as people imagine.
Early the next morning, Fourth Master went to the study again and called several gentlemen. Lin Yutong estimated that it was what he said last night about "spreading a small family into an apartment" that gave Fourth Master new inspiration. In fact, he did not say it, but Fourth Master
I will still do it, but it will be different sooner or later.
However, if I had started a day earlier, it would have been better to have completed it earlier.
Lin Yutong could only comfort himself in this way.
Later, even Honghui and Hongyun were dragged to the study by the fourth master, and they did not come back to enjoy their meal.
She could only send someone to deliver meals every day.
It's only been a few days since then, and it's already Laba.
A post was sent from Ba Ye's house. On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ba Ye married the Jinnian family of Xifu.
"So urgent? We can't even wait until the end of the New Year. No one can prepare for at least half a year for getting married. The standard of Xiang Fujin is not low." Lin Yutong took the post and muttered to the fourth master.
Fourth Master chuckled twice, "Anyway, we have to go back home to prepare for the New Year. Why don't you hinder us?"
This is true.
The day before Laba, the couple returned to the house from the garden with their children.
That night, I cooked Laba porridge in the kitchen all night. It was delivered to each house before dawn. Lin Yutong prepared a lot of fruit porridge this year, and only gave it to Fourth Master’s disciples and those who were closer to Fourth Master.
Minister's house.
"Don't leave anyone behind in the Zhijun Prince's Mansion or the Thirteenth Mansion." Fourth Master warned, "The deposed prince is in the palace and can't be sent in. Send someone to deliver it to the Hesheli family."
Lin Yutong thought to himself, Suo'etu has been dead for so many years anyway, and the rest are all useless. They are just to give face to the deposed prince. This man has always been generous to people who can't afford to make trouble.
Not to mention, the fourth master is the only one who dares to give it to Prince Zhijun and Shisan.
Prince Zhi looked at the Laba porridge that was handed in from outside. He couldn't tell what he looked like. There was no shortage of food and drink in the mansion, and the cost of food and clothing was the same as before. No one had ever treated him harshly.
. But when the fourth child was served, it was still his favorite beef porridge, and the hand holding the spoon started to tremble a little.
"Fourth brother, please remember brother. Brother, I have to give you a favor." Prince Zhi muttered.
He turned back and glanced at his son Hongyu: "You are in the palace, how have you been these days?"
Hong Yu whispered: "It's not bad. It's just that except for Hong Hui and Hong Yun, my son doesn't play with anyone else."
"What's going on? Who's bullying you again?" Prince Zhi put down the bowl in his hand.
Hong Yu shook his head, "There is no bullying. It's just that some people are a little respectful of their son, and some people are a little sympathetic to his son. Only Honghui and Hong Yun are the same as before. How they should be, nothing is different. My son feels more comfortable this way."
Prince Zhijun choked for a moment, and his mind became a little firmer. Giving a favor to the fourth child was paving the way for his son.
Lao Ba, your elder brother and I are really not that easy to calculate...(.)
