The Fourth Master's Favorite Concubine from the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 57 Wedding Banquet
Since I became a lone minister, I have become more capable of doing things for Yinzhen without any worries, and I don't worry about holding back Qingyou.

If you ask Geng Dejin if all this is worth it, he will definitely say it is worth it without hesitation. Because she is a family member, and she is Geng Dejin’s daughter who is always protected behind her.

He had already suffered a lot of pain and torture because of Geng Dejin's release. But not only did he not complain at all, but he also felt sorry for Geng Dejin, because Waifang suffered a lot and became more sensible and filial.

Later, he was pushed out and used as a pawn because of the fight between the Baoyi family. Not only did she not complain at all, she even comforted Amma and E Niang at such a young age, saying that she loved Yinzhen, and that she did all this willingly and happily.

As Qingyou, how could Amma not see the bitterness and helplessness beneath Qingyou's forced smile. Qiyou was a child who had been pampered since he was a child and never changed his nature even after going through the gloomy times.

Geng Dejin knew that his daughter Qingyou had always longed for the relationship between him and his wife, and also hoped to meet his beloved in the future, and the two of them would live as a couple for the rest of their lives.

Originally, Geng Dejin had already made plans. Nobles from aristocratic families were never within his scope of consideration, and even those who were also descendants of a wealthy family had not been considered. Firstly, it is because he is afraid or encounters complex situations, Qingyou was raised to be too simple to cope with it; secondly, it is because those who have some ability are all ambitious people who work hard to climb up. Such people are not interested in small things. Qing Xiaoai doesn't take it to heart at all, and it is very likely to hurt Qingyou.

The list of candidates he likes is those who have come to Beijing to take the exam and have some merit and fame. It would be best if he is a student in the same class as his eldest son. He gets along day and night and is easy to understand.

That is to say, Geng Dejin plans to choose a husband for Qingyou next year, and wants to keep Qingyou for a while. After all, being a daughter and being a wife are still different. No matter how carefully he chooses, he will never be completely satisfied. expect.

But the eternal plan could not keep up with the changes. Before Geng Dejin could make careful plans, the emperor had already granted the marriage.

But the luckiest thing among misfortunes now is that it seems that Prince Yong Yinzhen should be quite good to Qingyou.

Now he is also raising the flag. Although it is Prince Yong's help, this can be regarded as another boost for Qingyou in the palace.

Qingyou's Ama Geng Dejin plans to hold a banquet at his house in a few days, which can be regarded as a disguised celebration banquet.

------------------

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the banquet at Geng Jia's house. I saw many carriages outside the gate of Gengjia's Mansion, and people were almost squeezing in, but the servants in the Mansion were still well-trained. The evacuation was quick and orderly at the door.

However, there were many courtiers coming and going, and among them many ministers who were deeply trusted by Kangxi had come to celebrate.

Naturally, Geng Jia's Mansion also sent an invitation to Prince Yong's Mansion. It just so happened that Yinzhen took Qingyou to celebrate together when he was free.

As for Tuan Tuan Yuan and Yuan Yuan, they said that there would be no delay in starting enlightenment studies after the new year. As soon as the new year was over, the prince asked Wu Sidao to come and teach.

I have to say that Mr. Wu is not only really talented, but he also knows how to be flexible and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. Yinzhen did not directly start teaching the Four Books and Five Classics because he was anxious to make his children successful. Mr. Wu only asked Xi Dazi and Tuan Yuanyuan to practice their wrist strength in the morning. In the afternoon, he started teaching from the Three Character Classic.

It's not what Qingyou knows. The teaching method of those private schools in ancient times only allowed "the meaning of the book to be revealed after reading it a hundred times." It is a word-for-word translation, and many classic stories are introduced into it.

Not only did Tuan Yuan Yuan listen to it with great interest and relish, but even Qing You beside him felt that it was so interesting.

The original person had asked his teacher to teach him before when he was at home. It's just that the scholar who came was a rather sour scholar. Although she came to teach reading at Qingyou Amma's request, she looked down on women very much and didn't teach very seriously in class.

It was just a pretense. After a few days of study, Qingyou understood her husband's attitude, so she told her mother to find a reason to send him away. Later, no male teachers were invited, but a few female wives were hired to be responsible for poetry, poetry, and the like.

Now I am very happy to see Mr. Wu teaching like this. After all, although the husband I met back then was not very good, my daughter Yuanyuan met a very far-sighted and knowledgeable man.

As for why Qingyou came here, of course, although she said she was afraid that her children would be afraid of leaving E Niang and going to a strange place, but in fact, Qingyou couldn't leave E Niang's heart without her children, so she followed her. But seeing how kind Mr. Wu was, Qingyou felt relieved.

The reason why Tuan Yuan Yuan did not come today is that although Yinzhen is usually a loving father to his children, he is actually a strict father when it comes to his children's academic issues. Tuantuanyuan's study cannot fall behind every day. Therefore, Yinzhen kept him in the mansion to learn Chinese characters.

Qingyou was surprised to see so many people in front of her house. Although raising the flag was a big event, among the people who came first were some of the important officials that Kangxi valued.

Are there any problems with the banquet that everyone is gathering at Geng Jia's house?

Thinking of this, Qingyou, who asked directly if she had anything to do, turned around and asked Yinzhen: "Master, is this really okay? Most of the people who come and go are ministers. Although I have little knowledge in my backyard now, those familiar ones can be thought of. Kangxi's ministers and important ministers can still be recognized by my concubine.

It's just a small gathering, so why should so many people come? It seems like there is an ulterior motive. Now everyone knows that the Gengjia family is my maternal clan. It is understandable that I will accompany me here today.

Could it be that these ministers want to get to know you through this channel? "

Speaking of this, Qingyou paused for a moment. He continued: "Although I don't understand, it seems that such an approach will be said by some censors to be a clique for personal gain. Although I know that I am honest and candid, I will never do this, but I can't withstand the attacks of some people.

How about we go home right now? Anyway, I believe Ama and E Niang will understand us. "

It was a bit funny for Yinzhen to see Qingyou being so cautious, but it was inevitable that he felt a little distressed. After all, it was probably because of his status that Qingyou was hesitant and cautious.
