The daily life of the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty, thick black

Chapter 21 Brothers

The spring in the south of the Yangtze River is coming to an end, but the spring in the north is late. It is only a few days before the flowers are in full bloom.

All the way to the north, Gu Huaixiu added an extra half arm and a circle of white fox fur to keep him warm.

They came from the Wuxi Waterway, followed the Grand Canal dug by Emperor Sui Yang, passed the Tongzhou Wharf all the way, and then abandoned the boat and landed on the capital side, hired several carriages, and sat in the same way as when they came. Go to the old house of the Gu family in the capital.

Originally, Gu Zhenguan was also an official and a gentleman in Nalan Mingzhu Mansion. Because of his talent and reputation, there are not many officials in the capital who are from literati who don't know him. Even if he is arty, he will say "Mr. Gu" it is good".

Gu Huaishu grew up in this capital city, and she is not like a Jiangnan girl who just came to the capital city, she is curious about everything.She just dozed off in the car, Qing Dai also dozed off, the master and the servant didn't care about Jiangnan in the capital, and when they opened their eyes after sleeping in the dark, they might have arrived at the Gu family's old house in the capital.

This train of carriages can be regarded as quite grand, although they are not necessarily from rich families, they are also eye-catching because of the number of them.

Next to it is the famous Xiangfuji restaurant in the capital, with an opera garden at the back, dignitaries and dignitaries often like to drill into it, just to listen to the opera troupe from the north and south.

Upstairs today, there was a group of distinguished guests, all of them were tall and handsome, with straight eyebrows, they were not ordinary people, they were full of nobility.

A handsome man in an apricot-yellow robe with a piece of Hetian Huangyu on his waist, pressed the railing with one hand and held a wine glass in the other, watching many people coming and going downstairs, and said: "I heard that Zhang Ying, that old man , I have already offered sacrifices to my ancestors, and my ex-son made a discount for my father, and I am going back to Beijing again."

There were a few people sitting at the table, and a group of people stood behind them, but they didn't answer the phone.

"In the area of ​​Anhui and Jiangsu, this year's spring floods are in danger, and the money for river control that was issued two years ago has disappeared. What are the officials doing now?"

After finishing the glass of wine in his hand, the man smiled all over his face, but he looked a little gloomy.

This man has a handsome face, well-groomed, graceful and luxurious, just like the one in the painting, doesn't he look like a gentle gentleman at first glance?
It's a pity that the words and sentences that came out of his mouth were as piercing as wind, frost and swords: "I didn't get out of danger the year before last, and I didn't get out of danger last year, but this year Zhang Ying showed up when he went back to repair the ancestral grave. Can be hit by this old bastard!"

What they are talking about here is the affairs of the imperial court. Looking at this person's age, his tone of voice, and calling Zhang Ying "old and immortal", we can get a glimpse of this person's identity.

Today, Yinfeng is only with his brothers, accompanying Kangxi to see Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu. The emperor wants to go out for a spring outing when he is tired. Who doesn't want to relax?It's just a beautiful name: understand the people's sentiments.

The following elder brothers are not very old, but they are not young.

Eldest brother Yinfeng usually has a bad relationship with Prince Yinfeng, but today he also came because he wanted to visit Mingzhu, and now he just sat aside and didn't speak.Hearing Yinfeng's hypocritical words, he couldn't help but sneered.

Yinfeng looked back: "What dissatisfaction do you have with what elder brother said to me?"

Yinyi took the wine and drank it in a big gulp: "I'm a rough man, I don't understand what the prince said."

"Hmph..." The prince flicked his sleeves, but finally ignored him.

There are still a few sitting below, the eldest elder brother Yinyi, the prince Yinreng don't mention it, the third elder brother Yinzhi, and the fourth elder brother Yinzhen.

The oldest Yinyi is only twenty, and the princes below Yinzhen are even younger.Yinzhen is the youngest among them, and not long ago he was accused of being Fujin, the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs Fei Yanggu, Ulanala family Yuanlan.He is young and mature, with a cold face, he is more like a master than the few masters present here.Lord Kangxi had reprimanded him for being moody, but now his fourth elder brother Yinzhen didn't speak, and no one came to pry his mouth.

Where did He Gong's money go, who knows?
Others don't know, but Yinzhen's heart is clear.

He watched the prince's full set of acting skills, and secretly learned a trick.The year before last, Lord Kangxi took the crown prince with him on his tour to the south, and he was lucky enough to follow along. Along the way, as a party with the prince who was close to the prince, he saw Yinfeng's tricks a lot.Along the way, how many tributes from officials did you secretly receive?It has been confiscated so softly!

This year's spring floods were unexpectedly severe, and the embankment was out of danger early. When the news reached the emperor, things went awry.

It happened that Zhang Ying was there, and the emperor asked him to deal with it, so, Zhang Ying went——

Now Zhang Ying is coming back, they are in the capital, the mountains are so high that the emperor is far away, and they can't reach Jiangnan at all.If it hadn't been for this stubble here at the beginning, the crown prince wouldn't have to mention Zhang Ying and He Gong today.

Where did the silver go?The prince is in his pocket!

Yin Zhen knew clearly in his heart, but as an insider, he kept his mouth tight and didn't say a word.

Yinfeng choked with Yinfeng, and now he lowered his eyes, and saw the carriage passing downstairs, and only caught a glimpse of a familiar person.

Wasn't it Gu Zhenguan who lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside?
Yinfeng's eyebrows moved, his heart skipped a beat, and his eyes swept back along the train, the family must have come from the Gu family.

"Which family is this next?"

He was a little uncertain, so he asked casually. The guard in plain clothes next to him had good ears, and he heard the discussion below, and said at this moment: "Mr. Ming Xiang's eldest son sacrificed to sweep."

"Oh……"

Yinreng's eyes flashed, he already understood, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he didn't ask any more questions, just said: "It's also the anniversary of the death of Mr. Nalan..."

Turning around, he glanced at Yinzhen, and Yinzhen also looked up at him coincidentally.

The eyes of the two people crossed, each of them didn't respond, as if nothing happened.

Everyone sat here for a while, and when they came to report that Kangxi had come out of Mingzhu Mansion, they all got up and prepared to go out to meet him.

The prince was a step behind, saying that he had something important to tell the guards, and Yinzhen happened to be the last one to leave.

"The Gu family has gone to Beijing, and I have been looking for it for almost two years, but you still haven't found it!"

Yinfeng slapped the table, gritted his teeth and hated secretly.

It was just playing with a stinky bitch, and someone even hid her fingers.When Yinreng remembered, no one was there, and he was still coaxing that woman, he wanted to play with a weaker woman, who was very emotional, but he didn't want to cause trouble for his upper body.

Yinzhen closed his eyes and bowed his head, but the old god was there: "The prince, why worry? Originally, Gu's family is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has a good relationship with Zhang Ying. We are not easy to handle, and we dare not be blatant. Now that we are in the capital, no matter how capable Zhang Ying is, he can Overshadowing the crown prince? This kind of thing should be done cheaply. When they come to the capital, they are throwing themselves into the trap. This matter is also being done, so please rest assured the crown prince."

Yinzhen is not too old, but he doesn't look thin. He came out of the palace, and his thoughts are probably deeper than those in his 50s and [-]s. He is very calm.Yinfeng thought about it, and it was the same reason, so he nodded and said: "The finger-twisting matter is very important, and it is very important. This matter cannot be leaked, you know the seriousness, and if it is done, I will promote you."

He is a prince, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people, and the brothers below rarely oppose him. This fourth child can be regarded as his little follower, and he is quite capable.

Yin Zhen nodded to express his understanding, but secretly said, it seemed that it was just a momentary interest.Thinking of Gu San who had been beaten by him for the past few years and did not dare to take revenge on her elder sister, Yinzhen's eyes flickered darkly.I'm afraid it's this girl who can't bear it long ago, right?

After the two finished speaking, they left Xiangfuji Restaurant and went down to meet people.

The lower train has already passed by.

Walking through Shikou Street all the way, you can see the long-lost Gu family mansion from a distance.

Two stone lions squatted at the door, and the servants received the news that they had been cleaned and could live in immediately. The scenery here was the same as when they left the capital.

Gu Huaixiu got out of the car, and followed Gu Zhenguan, brothers, sisters, and maidservants, all the way in surrounded by them, very lively.

Everyone went back to their respective houses to tidy up. In the mansion in the capital, Gu Huaixu and Gu Yaofang's yards were next to each other, so they would inevitably run into each other along the way.

Gu Yaofang walked on the left side of the veranda, and said in a dark voice: "Third sister is really good at it. Along the way, she ate and slept, slept and ate, and didn't do anything else. Sister, I'm really worried that you won't be able to get married in the future. "

"Don't worry about it, elder sister. Since Huaixiu has a bad reputation, how can she dare to marry? Huaixiu is not like elder sister. It is because of her poor health that she cannot marry."

Backstabbing and hurting people is the most refreshing.

Gu Huaixiu is almost fed up with Gu Yaofang, and if she provokes her again, she may use the simplest and most direct method to tear herself apart with Gu Yaofang.

Seeing that now Gu Zhenguan also understands, Gu Huaishu is not afraid of what Gu Zhenguan will say here.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if something happened, Gu Zhenguan should not favor Gu Yaofang as before.

After suffering for so long, Gu Huaishu finally felt that there was something to look forward to in life.

Gu Yaofang's tongue is not as sharp as Gu Huai's sleeves.

All along, it was Gu Huaishu who relied on his mouth to get things right and wrong. Now that they are going to bicker, how can Gu Yaofang be Gu Huaishu's opponent?

It wasn't until today that Gu Yaofang finally realized that the seemingly inadvertent smile of Gu Huaixiu in front of her was like a cat showing its paws, giving people a strange sense of threat.

"You... cough cough! cough..."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Yaofang coughed violently again.

Gu Huaishu said with good intentions: "Elder Sister has something to say, let's leave it for later. No matter how much you say, don't be in a hurry. It's not like you won't have a chance to talk in the future."

People are still alive, there is always a chance to speak, right?

I have endured her for two years, and now I am in the capital again. I don't know what it is like.

Gu Huaisui smiled, she waved her round fan, walked slowly through the corridor, and walked in.

Old Xu came up from behind, walking at a leisurely pace, "Miss, please stop, the master has something to ask you, please go over."

This is Gu Yaofang, but Gu Huaishu, who had already walked out in front of her, stopped, and suddenly stopped and looked back.

Old Xu Tou stood behind Gu Yaofang, with his back arched and no expression on his face.

Gu Yaofang was obviously surprised, she managed to stop her cough, and said softly, "But why does father want me?"

"Returning to Miss, the master found the most effective fortune teller in the capital for Miss, and wants to make a divination for Miss, Miss, please move to the main room."

The voice was flat, no emotion could be heard, and old Xu's head was stiff.

Gu Yaofang trembled, and her lips trembled.

Old Xu bowed his head: "Miss, please."

"..."

Gu Huaixiu didn't make a sound, always feeling terrified.

Is this going to... use the same way to treat the person?There is no reason for Gu Zhenguan to find someone to tell Gu Yaofang's fortune as soon as he arrived in the capital?

"Qingdai, you go back first."

Gu Huaixiu glanced back at Qing Dai and winked, Qing Dai nodded, and then looked at Gu Huaixiu towards the direction Gu Yaofang was walking.
