Since that day I sent embroidery samples to Zhenbeile Mansion, Geng's mother saw that I didn't go wrong, and I was praised by Mama Du that she was well-behaved and sensible, and she was relieved to completely hand over the errand of sending embroidery samples to me.

I often come and go, and I get acquainted with the people in the house, and I smile more when I meet, and occasionally I will greet a few words. When you re-enter Yongdi, you don't have the restraint you had when you first came, and you can do things much easier.

It's May, and the weather gets hot early. After a few rains, it didn't feel cool, but it was like pouring water into a steamer.

I heard Chun'er say that this year's day was hotter than usual. Perhaps accustomed to the high temperature and heat of nearly 40 degrees in that time and space, now in the lush vegetation environment, although there is no air conditioning fan, but the layout of the house is mostly a courtyard, good ventilation, at night in the courtyard put a bamboo chair, light the mosquito repellent plate incense, shake the fan to see the sky full of stars, so comfortable, do not feel how unbearable.

On this day, Mama Du sent someone to send a message, saying that several rough girls in Zhenbeile Mansion fell ill from heat stroke, and there were not enough people in the house, so I was asked to go to the house to help for a while, and then let me come back when the new servants and maids entered the house.

Geng's mother thought that this errand would not only be able to get some silver, but also see the world and learn the rules, so she should go down and let me go back with Mama Du that day.

Thinking that I was new here, and I was just temporarily replaced, Mama Du didn't arrange too many complicated things, nothing more than washing the clothes of the masters, helping other places that were needed, and dealing with trivial things.

These maids in the house seem to be cautious on weekdays, but in fact, after getting along for a long time, they know that they are really gossiping in private. Sometimes listening to them secretly talk about the private affairs of their masters, not only can you understand the personality preferences and experiences of those people, but it is also the only pleasure to pass the time.

Listen to the maids, at this time Yinzhen is at the age of twenty-three or four, has three wives and concubines, gave birth to three sons and one daughter, in addition to the eldest son Honghui for the main room of the Wulanala clan, the remaining two sons and one daughter are born by the Li family of the side Fujin, and there is a Gege Song family in Yinzhen when he was seventeen years old for him to give birth to the eldest daughter, but did not get too much favor, and the daughter she gave birth to died before the moon, she may be the first woman of Yinzhen, but also the most pitiful one in this house.

Speaking of the most favored person in the house at the moment, it belongs to the side Fujin Li family. This fourth master is not smiling on weekdays, but he has a visible preference for the Li family, and he snubbed the genuine Chang Fujin. Fortunately, Fujin has a good temper and does not have the slightest resentment, he only takes care of Xiao Shizi wholeheartedly, and he doesn't care about anything.

When the servants talked about the Li family's favor, their tones were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. It sounded like I just laughed it off, and I didn't think so. There is no hundred days of red flowers, and when the Nian family enters the house, it is called the extreme favor. When the time comes, Li, the next cousin, will not even have a place to cry, what is there to envy.

Naturally, these words were just kept in their hearts, anyway, they were willing to say it, and I was happy to listen to it, just as entertainment gossip, and didn't care much.

Although there are many rules in the prince's mansion, there is no curfew like in the palace. At this time, the night is deep, in ancient times, people had little entertainment at night, most of the masters went to bed early, and the servants worked hard during the day, and the people who were not on duty were also busy with their remaining things and went back to the room to rest, and they couldn't sleep for long, and they had to get up before dawn the next day to perform their duties, and prepare everything before the masters got up. At this time, only the occasional sound of the guards in the outer courtyard and the eunuchs in charge of the night patrol in the inner courtyard walked around, and it was rare to see anyone else.

I don't know if it's because I don't do much, or if I'm used to going to bed late. After nightfall, I can't sleep and lie down, but I feel uncomfortable. So I informed the people in the house, saying that it was too hot to sleep, and I wanted to go out for a walk, so I took a fan and went to the back garden to find a quiet place to cool off.

At night, the palace was silent and deep, the shadows of the trees were ghostly in the moonlight, and the whimpering sound of the wind through the gaps between the rocks and trees and the houses and buildings was like crying and cold.

In this day and age, no mansion courtyard is clean. There are always one or two unjust souls who have died unexplained and have nowhere to appeal. But what does that have to do with me, I'm not afraid of the dark, and I'm not afraid of gods and ghosts, speaking of which I haven't seen any corpses studying medicine, and I used to joke with people that those who study medicine dare to rob people with the king of Hades, and they are angry, and the ghosts have to avoid three points. Although this is a joke, it is not false.

This house was newly built in the 33rd year of Kangxi, and it has only been seven or eight years since it was given to Yinzhen. Sitting in the standard pattern of facing north and south, each courtyard is independent of each other and does not disturb each other. Only the vestibule and back garden are public and connected to the various courtyards.

Walking around the stone paved path, he walked leisurely in the garden, and did not dare to go far, and sat down at the round table in the open area of the chrysanthemum garden.

"The Cherry Festival of the Xunfeng Palace, Shen Tanjiao under the blue screen window. The small fan is slightly cool, and the summer days are long. The savage is very interesting and does not ask Yan Liang. The old garden is well cultivated, and the chrysanthemums bloom in May. Unexpectedly, at this time, the scene really responded to Gu Taiqing's "Bodhisattva Man", I looked at the surprise that caught my eyes, and muttered to myself.

May was not the day to appreciate chrysanthemums, but a few chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden bloomed just right, adding a touch of touching tenderness and poetry to the palace at night. It's just that Gu Taiqing is a person in the Daoguang period, and he probably wouldn't have thought that he would be read out in the forty-first year of Kangxi.

The wonderful overlap and intersection between time and space made me suddenly feel a lot of inexplicable melancholy.

"When is the moon in the blue sky? People can't climb the bright moon, but the moon walks with people. It is as bright as a flying mirror, and the green smoke is extinguished. But when I saw that the night came from the sea, I would rather know that Xiang Yun didn't have it? The white rabbit pounded medicine in autumn and spring, and Chang'e lived alone with whom? Today's people don't see the ancient times and moons, but this month used to shine on the ancients. If the ancients and the present people are flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. I hope that when the song is against the wine, the moonlight shines on the golden bottle. ”

The wind passed, the coolness was born, I went to Xia Yan, calmed my mind, sat in front of the stone table and looked up at the bright moon that was getting full, and I whispered Li Bai's "Wine to the Moon". After groaning, he smiled dumbly, thinking that his "today's people" are not looking at the bright moon with the "ancients" at this time?

I was taking care of my own entertainment, when I suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and it was difficult to distinguish the person in the dimness, the man walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, and the figure was hidden in the shadow of the tree and could not see the whole picture, which made me stand up in surprise, and asked vigilantly, "Who is there?"

The footsteps sounded again as the question was answered. The man stepped out of the shadow of the tree, and although he couldn't see his face clearly, the moonlight shone on the yellow ribbon around his waist.

At this time and such a place, I will see such a yellow belt, I am relieved, I am busy shortening, burying my head in salute and saying, "The slave asks for peace to the fourth master, and the fourth master is auspicious."

"Are you a slave in the house?" Yin Zhen came out of the darkness, walked up to me, looked down, and asked.

"Back to the fourth master, the slave is on an errand in the miscellaneous room. I didn't look up, his clear voice was as clear as water, and it brought a hint of coolness to the sultry heat, making it difficult to judge his joy and anger and feel uneasy.

"Miscellaneous room?" Yin Zhen's tone seemed to be muttering to himself, and he seemed to be asking rhetorically.

"Back to the fourth master, the slave is the daughter of Geng Dejin, a few minions in the miscellaneous room were sick some time ago, and Mama Du asked the servants to come to the house to help for a few days. Although I couldn't guess whether he was talking to himself or asking rhetorically, he still said it truthfully in line with the principle that the master should answer when he asked.

"Look up. Yin Zhen pondered for a moment and said.

Sure enough, it was him! The person sitting in the carriage and the person he met at the entrance of Wangfu Street were indeed the future Yongzheng Ye Yinzhen!

I looked up at his words and met the familiar eyes, which also wandered over my face. The eyes in the eyes are too sharp, an innate majesty, which makes people dare not look at it for a long time. With just a glance, I naturally lowered my head to avoid the gaze that could almost penetrate my muscles and bones.

"Get up and speak," he looked at for a moment, then withdrew his gaze and walked to the stone table where I had been sitting, and looked at the early blooming chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum garden in silence.

I thought that Yinzhen had always been withdrawn, and he should not like to be disturbed. So he got up and bent his knees and said: "It's late at night, if the fourth master has nothing to order, the slave will retire first." After saying that, just wait for him to nod and leave.

"Can you drink?" Yin Zhen didn't raise his head, and suddenly asked.

"I know a little wine, but I rarely drink it. "I didn't expect Yinzhen to suddenly ask this, I was slightly stunned, and I answered truthfully.

At that time, my amount of liquor was not bad, and as a doctor, I also knew how to quickly relieve hangover, but drinking hurt my body, and I should not overdo anything, so I didn't drink it except for red wine. When I came here, I would occasionally accompany Geng's father to drink, but it was only limited to a light taste.

"Let's have two drinks together, okay?" Yin Zhen sat down at the table, his fingertips tapping the table lightly intentionally or unintentionally.

I didn't expect the person in front of me to make such an invitation, whether it was remembered or heard, this fourth master is a difficult character who is not smiling and has a strange temperament. But now, although he still looks cold, he doesn't seem to be a difficult person to get along with.

I looked up at him in surprise. After thinking about it, he asked hesitantly and carefully, "Can the fourth master have dinner?"

"The master was busy with official business and missed dinner, and he felt no appetite after being busy just now, saying that he wanted to go out for a walk. Yin Zhen just ignored my question, and followed Yin Zhen's personal eunuch Su Peisheng stepped forward from not far away, took the words and whispered-
