Yongzheng and I refreshed the tablet together

Chapter 98 Don’t Flatter
This time of year is the most painful time for the Fourth Master. The noise of people's thoughts and greetings can give him a headache. But this year it is very quiet. Only Jiang Ying's voice can be heard clearly in his ears.

The fifth master turned his head and saw the smile on the corner of the fourth man's lips, and instantly shuddered. Did the fourth man, who had always had a cold face since childhood, melt?

Finally, they arrived at Changyin Pavilion where the New Year's Eve family dinner was arranged. Jiang Ying's legs were all thinner. Fourth Master walked up to her and held her arm for a while, then the men and women had to separate.

Fourth Master whispered: "I'll send you a hot sand bag to apply on your legs later."

This was not his own home. Jiang Ying was worried about causing trouble, so he shook his head and said no.

Fourth Master smiled and reassured her.

Less serious than the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, this New Year's Eve reunion was all attended by princes and close relatives of the clan. Large round tables were set up in Changyin Pavilion, starting from the floor where the emperor was sitting with the best view. The families are arranged in the following order: the Prince's family, the eldest brother's family of the Prince of Zhijun, and the Sanbeile family.

Thanks to their grandfather being born near the front, their family's position is pretty good.

There are large round tables on the lower floors. Looking down, you can see that the people sitting there are all women with different looks.

The men were all upstairs opposite, which was different from the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Jiang Ying felt that the emperor wanted to separate men and women because he thought the women were noisy.

Jiang Ying drank tea while looking at the people at the tables without leaving any trace.

In the prince's house in front, there were the most women. Jiang Ying secretly counted and found that there were actually five sitting there, but there were only two children.

She only met one of the prince's friends at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last time, and today she discovered that she was the most beautiful among these women.

The woman wearing serious azure makeup must be the Crown Princess who doesn't appear often.

Perhaps sensing her gaze, Crown Princess Shi looked over with an emotionless look.

Jiang Ying smiled, but he looked away expressionlessly.

Si Fujin said: "The Crown Princess is indifferent to everyone, don't be too obvious."

She represents my face, and fawning over the Crown Princess only brings me shame.

In fact, Si Fujin also looked down upon the emperor's personally named Jiang Bian Fujin. The daughter of a small county family had not received the education that a matriarch of a large family should have.

The ancestral tomb at home was filled with smoke and turned into a treacherous place, revealing its flaws everywhere.

Jiang Ying actually just felt that it was not easy to be the royal Fu Jin. Fortunately, she did not dress as Fu Jin. Although she had status, majesty and everything, she didn't look happy at all.

Huh? Isn’t this Versailles literature?

I have nothing but money and status in this position.

Only then did Jiang Ying remember that he was a sidekick to Fujin and had no position to sympathize with others. At this time in the Qing Dynasty, as long as Fujin did not make principled mistakes, he would be welded to death from the moment he was kicked off.

No kids?
Under the royal rules, how dare a group of bastards treat their legitimate mother harshly?

Suddenly, I felt that dressing up as Fujin was the real pinnacle of life. I didn’t have to look at men’s faces, didn’t have to have children, and had plenty to eat, drink, and a large group of people to play with.

Don't be too cool.

The fourth master on the opposite floor was only three feet away, so he could hear Jiang Ying's inner calculations, which made his teeth itch with laughter.

The eldest brother, who looked like a military general with a reckless air, came over to persuade Fourth Master to drink with a glass of wine. When he noticed that he was snickering, he said: "Fourth Brother, who are you laughing at? Come on, come on, everyone is drinking, why are you the only one? Standing on the edge?"

The third master smiled and glanced at the opposite side: "Brother, what do you know? The fourth brother is looking at his side Fujin and smiling."

Speaking of the fourth child, Xiang Fujin, the eldest brother remembered that bowl of stew that was not very tasty, but Emperor Pianhuang Ama also liked it.

The fourth master suppressed his smile and said to his two brothers: "New Year's Eve is a joyous night, why can't my brothers even smile?"

The eldest brother put his arm around the fourth master's shoulders: "Fourth brother, you are nothing. There are still too few women in the house. No matter how beautiful a woman is, it is meaningless to look at her all day long. Next year's draft will ask your family to pick more. several."

The fourth master teased the eldest brother: "Brother, you just said that, but all the brothers know that you and my sister-in-law are very close." The eldest brother said: "..."

[How can the fourth child know which pot to open and which pot to pick up? When everyone is acting like that fool like Lao Wu, Fu Jin is giving birth to a bunch of children, but Fujin doesn't even lay an egg. 】

The fourth master didn't hold back, and the corners of his lips twitched for a moment. Looking over there, the fifth brother was looking at the beautiful actress Lehe on the stage.

The eldest brother also wanted to introduce the Fourth Master to a good leisure place with many talented women. The Fourth Master quickly squeezed in with a glass of wine among the young brothers under Thirteen.

The third master saw it and stepped forward and said to the eldest brother: "The fourth brother is still in love with his side Fujin. Besides, that person is personally appointed by the old man and is the face of the fourth brother. Can he not coax him for a while?" "

The eldest brother was a little angry when he thought about the few seedlings under his knees. Since the old man was so serious, why didn't he personally give him a side blessing?

The fourth master was too lazy to pay attention to these two people. After talking to his younger brother for a while, he saw his eighth brother walking up.

"Fourth brother." Ba Ye said with a smile, "What happened in the past is in the past. We are still brothers. Why don't you even meet with your brother less often?"

The Fourth Master stood up and said, "Eighth Brother, you are overthinking. We brothers are not in the same government office, and we have not met much before. I didn't congratulate you, Eighth Brother, but you have done a great job recently."

The eighth master of Raoshi has always been humble, and he is inevitably proud of himself.

After chatting here for a while, the prince asked the fourth master to come over and talk.

Fourth Master passed over.

The fourth master didn't plead for the second son of Suo'etu before, so the prince wanted to give him a cold shoulder. He didn't expect the boss to be so eager to show his goodwill to the fourth son.

The prince felt extremely tired. These brothers were really getting restless.

Perhaps seeing Huang Ama chop off his arm directly, he felt that he could stand out.

If everyone was as content with their duties as a prince like the fourth child, how could my uncle and grandpa die? This is not my younger brother. They are all locusts. When they jump on people, they are just a mouthful of meat.

The fourth master glanced at his second brother and suddenly realized that the prince, who had appeared in an upright and cheerful manner for some time, was actually enveloped in a layer of gray gloom.

But he couldn't afford his second brother's trust, because he also longed for that position in his heart.

Compared with other brothers, he will not take the initiative to force and frame his second brother to fight for it. When Huang Ama is still there, he will run his errands and be his prince.

If Emperor Ama is gone one day, he will fight for it.

The prince said something to appease the fourth master: "Don't worry, Emperor Ama did not anger you about your Fujin incident. The purpose of using Lao Ba during this period is to contain the boss. After the New Year, you will go to Shandong to inspect. In the past two years, Shandong I have been reporting drought, but Huang Ama thinks there is something fishy and wants someone to check it out. I have already recommended you."

The fourth master's expression remained unchanged, he raised his glass and toasted the prince: "My brother will find out the situation."

The prince coughed and hinted: "Now is not a troubled time, if it is just to get tax exemption for the people, there is no need to hold on to it."

Fourth Master frowned, feeling that this errand was not easy to handle.

According to his temperament, he must not tolerate any corrupt officials, but looking at the prince's behavior, he probably accepted bribes from Shandong officials.

[Li Heshu has always been experienced in doing things, so he should have made up for all the injuries he could. Although the fourth brother is a bit more selfless, he still respects the prince Gu, and will take care of Gu's face even if he discovers something. 】

The fourth master hated iron for a moment.

He really didn't know what his second brother was thinking. As the prince of the Qing Dynasty, he already had everything. Even if there were some difficulties during the New Year, the convenience of the prince was enough to make up for the difficulties.

But why should we accept the filial piety of the top officials?
Could it be that he is taking the lead in promoting corruption in the officialdom?
The fourth master got up and wanted to leave. At this moment, there was a noise on the second floor.

"Prince Yu, why are you so crazy when you drink some horse urine and come here?" Such a majestic scolding sounded in the noise, and the lively and joyful Changyin Pavilion fell silent.
