Concubine Wen Xi who traveled through time

Yin Lu happily left with the money her mother had saved with great difficulty in the past few years, leaving Wen Xi in pain.

It's not easy to save two money these days!With such a son, it is really difficult to save money!To be honest, Wen Xi's private treasury is full of good things, there are countless pearls, jade and gemstones, jade bonsai, gold and silverware, jewelry and silk, even a side hall can't be filled.It's just that these things are either donated by the local government or produced by the Inner Court Building Office, and they cannot be exchanged for money....

The division of the son's government and the marriage of the daughter, Wen Xi has filled in a lot of good things, but there is still nothing missing.But the golden cloisonné enamel and peace-like ornament on the red sandalwood table next to Wen Xi's pedal is sold off, and it is definitely worth one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver!And such things are just common objects in Wenxi Palace!

Just as she was planning her own fortune, Zhu'er walked in holding a five-colored statue with golden egret and lotus patterns and a phoenix tail. It was filled with newly bloomed peonies, big and red like clouds, gorgeous and luxurious.

Zhu'er said blissfully: "This is the 'Yunxiahong' peony newly cultivated by the greenhouse. The color is very positive, so the servant folded some of them. It looks good and smells good."

Wen Xi pointed to the Eight Immortals Table of golden nanmu wood on the west side, and said, "Just put it there." On the inside of the Eight Immortals Table was a picture screen carved with plum blossoms in white jade, which was a good gift from the governor of Shanxi. A round jade plate that was slightly larger than the face plate was carved with strange stone plum blossoms, and was supported by a red sandalwood lotus base, as if holding a bright moon. Wen Xi liked it very much, so she placed it in the bedroom.

This picture screen is also a kind of screen, but it is not used for partition, but purely for viewing. It is generally relatively small, and some are even carved with a whole piece of jade.Precious sandalwood is used as the base, and because large and complete jade materials are rare, the jade picture screen is the most precious among the screens.Wen Xi remembered that she still had a picture screen of Baiyu Dharma in her private treasury, but the carved figure was not Wen Xi's favorite, so she kept it on hold.

It's hot in summer, under the lush magnolia trees.It's a good place to cool off the summer heat, naturally it can't compare to Changchun Garden, but it's a pity that Kangxi is busy with the Northwest War, so I'm afraid he has no time to go there.

Wen Xi is holding an ivory bone embroidered palace fan for the birthday of the immortals, and there is a ground fan, and there is a freshly brewed jasmine bird tongue in his mouth, and a glass cup with red phoenix and sun embossed pattern, which is small and exquisite. , the color is transparent, and the soup inside is yellowish.The fragrance is tangy.Wen Xi sipped slowly, holding a volume of Feng Menglong's "New Chronicles of the Kingdoms", which was much more beautiful than history books.

Drink a sip of tea, turn a page of a book, and feel extra leisurely in the lazy dusk.

Wan Xie was embroidering a tulle fan at the side, and she was very serious about every stitch and thread. On the white marble table was a large holding box with lychee pattern.There are neatly coded embroidery threads of various colors inside, and one of them is a gleaming gold-coated thread.It is also the embroidery thread that Wan Xie is using. She is embroidering an oriole, and it looks golden and beautiful when embroidered with gold thread in the sun.

Two orioles singing in green willows, and a line of egrets flying up to the blue sky are exactly the scenes she embroidered.The tulle is almost transparent.The texture of the yarn is light and thin, so it is double-sided embroidery for perfection, so it takes a lot of time and trouble.

"I said I wanted you to embroider a round fan, but actually I just wanted someone to accompany me. You don't have to worry. Just embroider slowly." Wen Xi took a sip of tea and said slowly.

Wan Pei smiled gently, and said: "Master is also busy recently, and Xi'er has nothing to do every day except take care of Yan'er, so I come to accompany Er Niang, just to pass the time."

Wen Xi also had nothing to do, Kangxi was busy in the past, and he only came to sit and sit every day, and Wen Xi's son was also busy, so naturally there were only a group of women left with nothing to do, so they had to find things to do for themselves and someone to chat with.

While chatting, Yinlu suddenly barged in without making a sound. He was wearing a heavy pro-dynasty uniform, sweating from the heat, his back was soaked as promised, and his whole face was irritated. Flushed and out of breath, it seemed that something serious had happened.

"Why are you here at this time?" Wen Xi gently put down the glazed teacup, feeling puzzled, if she asked for her greetings, it would never be in the evening when the red sun was setting.

Yinlu took a deep breath, and then said bitterly: "Emiang, my son has just raised enough money, and is planning to ask people to go to the major grain farms to buy grain in private, but unexpectedly, overnight, all the grain farms The price of food has doubled!"

Wen Xi immediately heard that it was unusual. Even if the price of food rose due to the war in the northwest, there was no need for it to rise so ridiculously, and it wasn't that they were going to hit the capital!Wen Xi frowned and said, "Who is manipulating the price of food behind the scenes?"

Yinlu gritted his teeth and said: "Who else?! Besides him, who else is looking forward to the Western Expedition's army returning without success?!"

Wen Xi lowered her brows and murmured, "Yinzhen..." In Wen Xi's impression, although Yinzhen would also resort to violent means, he had never done anything that would harm the country, so he couldn't help asking seriously: " Are you sure? Don't let there be any misunderstandings in it."

"It was the seventeenth brother who found it!" Yinlu was so angry with hatred, who else has this ability except him? !

Wen Xi couldn't help but fell silent, since Yin Li found out, presumably there would be no misunderstanding.

Yinlu wiped the hot sweat off his face, drank three cups of jasmine tongue, and calmed down a little before he said: "Fortunately, with the 75 shi of grain from Eniang, the Western Expeditionary Army can last another month." , the son has been sent by Nian Gengyao to supervise the transportation."

A sneer appeared on Yinlu's face, and he said: "One month is enough time for my son to send people to the south of the Yangtze River to purchase food, and then transport it to the northwest! The fourth brother is being a villain in vain this time! My son originally planned to make it easier, so I thought Let’s buy food directly from Beijing! Now, although it will take a little more trouble, it can still save a lot of money!”

Wen Xi nodded, this was the solution.Thinking that Yinzhen was secretly manipulating grain prices in Beijing, Wen Xi looked down on him again. She thought Yinzhen was a doer for the country and the people, so it seems that for the sake of ambition, she can do anything come out.

Wen Xi turned to Zhu'er and said, "Go make another pot of tea."

Yinlu had just rested here, and Li Dequan, the number one eunuch in front of Emperor Kangxi, came in a hurry again. He came to look for Yinlu, and hurriedly greeted him. Li Dequan touched the dense sweat on his head, and said anxiously: "Master Sixteen, the emperor is in a hurry to summon you! Hurry up to the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

Yinlu was slightly puzzled: "Elder-in-law, what happened?"

Li Dequan stomped his feet anxiously: "Something has happened! Mr. Nian escorted the Western Expedition army's food and grass halfway, but was robbed by Cewang Allah Butan!"

"What?!" Yinlu showed a look of shock, "How is it possible! I specially asked Nian Gengyao to follow the secret route of previous years. How could Cewang Allah Butan know the escort route?!"

Wen Xi was horrified when she heard this. The way to escort the food and grass was within the territory of the Qing Dynasty. How did Cewang Allah Butan sneak into the country under the watchful eyes of the border guards? !After thinking about it, there is only one possibility of "traitor"!

Li Dequan said anxiously: "The emperor is furious, and has ordered someone to dismiss Mr. Nian and escort him back to Beijing for questioning!"

Li Dequan's words are to let Yinlu know first. It is true that food and grass were robbed. As a logistics escort, Nian Gengyao must bear the primary responsibility. Dismissal is a matter of course.Yin Lu hurriedly thanked her, said goodbye to Wen Xi, and hurried to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Prince Yinlu of Yuan rushed there, Prince Cheng, Prince Yong, Prince Heng, Prince Chunjun and several older princes were there.

"I think Nian Gengyao failed to escort half of the [-] shi of grain to fire and half of it was robbed. It is a crime that cannot be punished, and should be sentenced to death!" It was the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Yong, who spoke sonorously. Yinzhen.

Kangxi spread out the imperial case full of verbal criticism, and only hurriedly skipped it. He looked at his sons, and his gaze fell on the eldest son Yinzhi: "Third son, what do you think?"

Yinzhi looked at the fourth child, then at Prince Yuan who had just arrived, rolled his eyes and said, "Returning to Huang Ama, my son thinks this matter is strange, so we should carefully review it before making a decision." And thin mud, both sides do not offend.

Prince Heng Yinqi added: "I feel that although Nian Gengyao's fault was serious, the grain and grass were robbed in the Xining area, and the food road was hidden. It can be seen that someone secretly communicated with Zhungeer! My son is not talented, I would like to be more careful. Let's hear the case!"

Seeing this, Yinyou also hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, my son has been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years, and I am willing to try it with my fifth brother!"

After the sons finished speaking, Kangxi hummed lightly and said, "Yinlu, Nian Gengyao is your servant, what do you think?"

Yinlu took a step forward and said respectfully: "My son thinks what the fifth brother and the seventh brother said are reasonable. Nian Gengyao's fault is indeed not small, but there are many internal disputes, so it should be a fair trial!" As he said, he glanced sideways He glanced at Prince Yong: "Fourth brother thinks, are you satisfied with this treatment?"

"The sixteenth brother and the fifth brother are both wrong!" Yinzhen said with a stern and selfless face, "Nian Gengyao is not a big mistake, but a big mistake and a big crime! If anyone secretly informed Zhungeer, it must be this person!"

Yinlu raised his eyebrows and said: "Fourth brother, making this decision before the trial is really against the impartial and selfless style of the fourth brother in the past! Is it because Nian Gengyao is the disciple of the younger brother that the fourth brother is extra strict? "Speaking, Yinlu bowed with a smile, "Thank you fourth brother! It's just better to be strict, if you are too strict, it will be unfair!"

"You—" Yinzhen's face flushed with anger for a moment, "Sixteenth brother, Nian Gengyao is your disciple, you should also avoid it for a while, if you make excuses for him like this, you will also escape the suspicion of covering up!"

Yinlu smiled generously: "If the younger brother can't escape the suspicion of covering up, then the fourth brother must also be able to escape the suspicion of framing. If there is no basis and no evidence, one person is convicted of collaborating with the enemy. Isn't it a frame-up?" (To be continued. .)
