Chapter 717 It is his pride to have a son like this.
The fourth master did not move at all, just standing here for Emperor Kangxi to see.
Of course, Emperor Kangxi couldn't see anything on the fourth master's paralyzed face, but Emperor Kangxi wanted to influence this matter, either the fourth son or his wife.
Except for the young couple, there is no one else.
Because, the Wang family just went to the Fourth Brother's place for a longer time. If this method was thought of by other brothers, I don't think the Fourth Brother would have come alone today.
However, Emperor Kangxi felt that the woman in the backyard would not think so far-term.
When Emperor Kangxi thought of his fourth wife, it was hard to explain in words.
This daughter-in-law really makes him a little tangled. It might be said that he doesn't like her, but she is usually very filial and sensible.
However, as Sifujin, this daughter-in-law often makes people feel unstable. And she often does not act according to common sense.
Don't tell me, if this trick was thought up by the fourth daughter-in-law, it does look a bit like it.
But the fourth daughter-in-law is a woman after all, so how can she see such a long-term view?
If a woman gets involved in political affairs like this... that's not good.
However, Emperor Kangxi didn't quite believe that she had that ability.
After thinking about it again and again, Emperor Kangxi felt that this matter might be the method of the fourth child.
Because he had been staring at a few members of the Wang family. If I remember correctly, it should be the fourth child and the sixth child who entered his yard together.
With so many foreign men around, the fourth wife probably wouldn't have a chance to talk.
Thinking like this, Emperor Kangxi glanced at the Fourth Master several times, feeling as if a child in our family had just grown up.
I didn't expect that this fourth child, who had been rigid and abiding by the rules since he was a child, could now be so smooth in dealing with things.
Compared with the other careless ones, Emperor Kangxi felt that the Fourth Master was a talent that could be developed.
At that moment, he said in a gentle tone: "I agree to this matter, I will leave it to you to handle it. If you do it well, I will reward you."
As he said this, he was in a good mood, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
After hearing this, the fourth master frowned slightly and immediately knelt down: "Huang Ama, I accept the order. It's just... Huang Ama, I have one more thing, and I want you to help your son."
After listening to Fourth Master's words, Emperor Kangxi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Huh? This is quite strange. Can you tell me about it?"
The Fourth Master said with hesitation on his face: "Back to the emperor, I would like to ask you to summon the Wang family. As long as you summon them, I can think of ways to get them to come up with more money.
Now that the national treasury is empty, this trip to Yangzhou will fill it up."
Fifty taels of silver, although it sounds like a lot, is still not enough to fill a gap in the current state of the national treasury.
Besides, regarding the Wang family, Fourth Master felt that the punishment was a bit light.
The little girl of my family has always been a kind-hearted person who does not make things difficult for others, but the fourth master is different.
He took a longer-term view. If the Wang family spent more money today, several other large salt merchants would be indispensable tomorrow, perhaps even more than the Wang family.
Therefore, from this source, the higher the Wang family's .asxs., the more beneficial it will be to the national treasury.
The fourth master is also becoming more and more sure of what will happen next.
Emperor Kangxi was surprised when he heard what the fourth master said. Then he laughed and said, "I agree, but what can you do?"
The Fourth Master looked around and saw no one in front of him, so he approached Emperor Kangxi and said in his ear: "After you have summoned Emperor Ama, I will have a detailed chat with the head of the Wang family.
When I think about it, he won't refuse, and... doesn't dare to refuse.
It’s just that Huang Ama, I am here to see you today. Can you treat it as if I have never been here?
Pretend you didn’t hear about this beforehand.”
The fourth master wanted the Wang family to directly talk to Emperor Kangxi about donating money.
In this way, he does not have so much credit. Now he feels that he is not old and does not need so much credit. Especially when there are two people in front of him, the eldest brother and the prince.
When Emperor Kangxi heard this, he looked at the fourth master with a half-smile: "You are so...could it be that you are afraid that your elder brother will come to trouble you?"
These days, the eldest brother would make sarcastic remarks about the fourth master no matter what happened, and Emperor Kangxi sometimes couldn't stand it.
So I wanted to test Fourth Master’s thoughts.
When the fourth master heard this, he did not rush to argue, but said with a wry smile: "I am naturally afraid that my eldest brother will come to trouble me..."
Emperor Kangxi was surprised. He thought that the fourth child might say something about brotherly love, but he didn't expect that there was still a bit of sincerity from his childhood.
However, Emperor Kangxi still taught him a lesson with a straight face: "Is your eldest brother so ignorant of right and wrong in your mouth?"
The fourth master immediately shook his head: "Huang Ama, I think it's not that the eldest brother doesn't know right from wrong, it's just that the eldest brother has always been strong.
When I was young, I always admired my elder brother, but now, the relationship between my two brothers is not as good as before, so I also have some concerns today.
My son is still young, so I have no choice but to come here to trouble Emperor Ama."
Emperor Kangxi stared at the fourth master for a while. This son surprised him so much today. He didn't expect that the fourth master just expressed his meaning so straightforwardly.
Although if you think about it carefully, what he did today actually meant that he wanted to hide his clumsiness.
However, Emperor Kangxi just doesn't get bored now.
The son in front of me is tall and straight. Although his face still looks a bit immature, his actions are neat, smooth and sophisticated.
I also thought that my son had never forgotten what he read when he was a child, and he was able to outdo the most powerful boss in riding and shooting.
Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but admire him, he was proud to have a son like this.
Then Emperor Kangxi talked with the Fourth Master in the garden for nearly an hour before letting the Fourth Master go back.
When Emperor Kangxi returned to his garden, he seemed to be in a good mood.
Concubine De was waiting in the courtyard. She was a little surprised when she saw Master Kangxi smiling from a distance, but she was surprised and immediately stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
"Long live Lord, you are back."
Emperor Kangxi smiled and took her hand and entered the house: "Why didn't you take a nap?"
After hearing what Emperor Kangxi said, Concubine De smiled a little embarrassedly and said:
"My concubine has just eaten a lot of food, and now she is too exhausted to sleep, so she got up and moved around again."
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi smiled again and said: "This Yangzhou cook is really amazing, he can actually make you eat to your fullest.
I'm curious, what did you eat just now?"
In fact, Concubine De has always been a person who knows how to exercise moderation, especially when it comes to meals.
This is why Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong are a bit heavier now, but she has always been so thin.
Emperor Kangxi told Concubine De more than once to eat more, but with little success.
Concubine De has developed such a habit, and the food that can satisfy her now must be extraordinary.
