Leisurely Four Fortunes

Chapter 102

In the spring of Kangxi's 38th year, the days were quite uneventful.The army finally moved out, and the patrolling censor also went to the south.

The eldest brother is worthy of being a fierce general, and he seems to want to vent all the depression of losing his wife. He was particularly brave in fighting in the south.According to the front battle report, he ate and slept with the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and he would charge forward in every battle and do it himself.

The Holy Roman Empire in the west is in decline, and the Qing Dynasty is rising day by day.With the strength of a country's elite and foreigners as the vanguard, it is easy to attack the small country of Japan.

Those Japanese pirates headed by samurai have truly experienced what it means to shake a tree with a gnat.The coastal people have hated these files for a long time, and usually avoid them in fear of their ferocity.But now that the army is on the scene, even the literati in the south of the Yangtze River have let go of their national grudges.

Although the Manchu Qing was brutal, it was much stronger than these files.In the areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, Japanese pirates are like rats crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats them.They retreated step by step towards the border coastline.On the sea, the foreigners' warships opened their guns and were waiting for them.

"Duke Philip, I think now we can unite with the Dongying people to curb the Qing court's growing power."

If it was an ordinary grand duke, he would definitely listen to the counselor's advice.But Duke Philip is different. He is a well-known impatient and face-saving in the Netherlands.This time due to the Japanese pirates' attack, half of his wealth sank into the vast ocean.

This is a duke's disgrace, "For the glory of Philip's family, this revenge must be avenged, and no one from Dongying must be left behind!"

Duke Philip drew out the knight's sword, and the soldiers on board did not dare not listen.On the vast ocean, the sea breeze blew away the mist.

"My lord, shall we go aboard?"

The elder brother rode on a black steed and raised his hand to signal the troops behind to stop.Although he is not good at reading, he is a born king in marching and fighting.The Qing Dynasty was good at cavalry. Although there were navy divisions in Fujian and Guangdong, they had not practiced them for many years.

"No, according to the agreement, foreigners are in charge of the sea."

Under the artillery fire from both sides, General Tokugawa in the Edo Imperial Palace on Honshu Island, the base camp of Japan, finally couldn't sit still.The strength of the shogunate is getting worse day by day, and Hokkaido is out of control.If these samurai continue to lose, the forces of defeat will have to rise again.

In desperation, the shogunate Tokugawa Jiayi handed over the letter of credence to Emperor Kangxi, imploring the two parties to negotiate peace.

In Yongjun's mansion, fourth master has been paying attention to the movement in the south.The prince tried to persuade him to go to the south several times, but he pushed him away.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, the prince finally stopped demanding.

After analyzing the day's secret edict, he took his daughter to the study, and at the same time caught his struggling son.

"I don't want to leave my mother, Ama is bad."

Xiaoyi squeezed her son's palm: "Hui'er is good, you learn from Ama first. Erniang is now cooking and making gold silk jujube cake for you. You can eat it after learning."

The little guy finally nodded, his little nose was wrinkled and his face was full of reluctance, but he still obediently grabbed his sister's hand and walked out.

Xiaoyi grabbed two cloaks and put them on for her son and daughter.Although it is already April, the weather in Beijing is still very cold.The children are still young, so they have to pay more attention to keeping warm.

As soon as he arrived at the study, Hong Hui immediately got to know the current affairs and calm down.Although Ama treats him very well now, the shadow of decades of previous life has always been there.Now Erniang is not in front of him, and no one is protecting him, so he is very obedient.

The study is very spacious and the furnishings are very simple.As a prince, fourth master grew up in a pile of gold and jade, so of course he was not that thrifty.It is rumored that he does not like luxury, but in fact he does it on purpose.

The truth is, he doesn't like anything too fancy.The furnishings in the study may seem simple, but if you look closely, you can see that there is nothing ordinary in it.

"Where did Yao'er learn?"

There was only one table in the study, and fourth master ordered his servants to add two small chairs for them to sit beside.

Turning his head, he asked his daughter gently.Zhiyao opened the "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" on the table and turned to that page.

When he turned his head to look at his son again, his face became serious: "Honghui, which chapter have you learned?"

Hong Hui curled his lips and touched the small chair next to him.The chair carvings are very detailed, and his is a little taller than his sister's, but theirs are all a bit taller than Ama's.Sit down so that your body just reaches the desk.

He stayed by Er Niang's side every day, he knew that Er Niang never cared about the affairs in the study.Those two chairs must have been custom-made by Ama.

Thinking of this, he was a little moved.He has remembered things since he was born, and he has remembered Ama's tolerance for him in the past two years.People's hearts are fleshy, and he doesn't hate Ahma so much anymore.It's just that he's still not worth it for Er Niang, especially when the draft is coming up next year, I don't know if Ama will have a new love.

Even if not next year, those three years and three years.In the previous life, there were concubines Qi and Concubine Nian, but in this life it is uncertain who will be there.So for Er Niang, he has to be more careful.

For him, nothing is more important than Er Niang.Since Ama likes him to study, then he should study hard.After reading it well, he will treat Er Niang better.

"I, like my sister, have learned this."

Honghui kept his head down, Yinzhen didn't see the change in his face.And in his heart, his son is only three years old.Fujin protected him so well, what kind of complicated thoughts can a child have.

It's just that Yao'er has been studying for several years, and Hong Hui can keep up with her progress?
Just a few words in the school test, and it turns out that what the son said is the truth.Fourth Master was very satisfied, and after teaching for a while, he found that Honghui learned faster than Yaoer.

Nodding, fourth master was even happier.It's just that the regret in his heart is even deeper. If Hong Hui was alive in his previous life, if...

"Ama, why don't you read it?"

Yao'er's sweet voice pulled him out of the thoughts of memories.

"The meaning of this story is..."

After the last paragraph, he tried to ask a question.Sure enough, both the son and the daughter remembered what he said.Even Hong Hui could memorize this paragraph shaking his head.

Fourth master was completely shocked, he always knew that these two children were good.But he never thought that they were so smart.

"Yes, it's about time."

Hong Hui immediately jumped off the chair, "You can eat cakes."

Yao'er hurriedly turned to support him: "Brother, you may be knocked when you jump off the chair, be careful."

The seven-year-old sister knows that she cares about her younger brother, and the younger brother is also close to her older sister. Both siblings are smart and good-looking.

Fourth Master felt a wave of sincere joy in his heart, this is his child, Hong Xi, who was taught by Huang Ama himself, might not be so good and perfect.And that Hongli is completely different from them.

At this moment, he finally realized the pride of being a father.

Holding up his daughter and son, the stern demeanor around him completely disappeared.Hong Hui wanted to struggle subconsciously, and when he raised his head, he saw the chair.Ama cares about him, so let him hold her hand.

He led them straight to the main room, looked at the small figures on the left and right, and squeezed their soft little hands.Fourth Master thought to himself, he must protect them.Also, since Fujin gave birth to such excellent children, let her have a few more.
