In the past two years, the imperial court has successively developed nitrogen fertilizer that can make barren land fertile and hybrid rice that can increase grain production, and the implementation of policies such as spreading the land into the mu and opening the sea ban, the people's living standards have been significantly improved compared with before. With the strong support of Yongzheng and the careful implementation of Prince Yi, the firearms battalion of the imperial court has grown several times larger than when it was first established, and the muskets and cannons have been improved many times, making the range more accurate and the lethality has doubled than before. Due to the abundance of the treasury and the strength of the armament, when Yongzheng used troops against Dzungaria in June of the seventh year, tens of millions of military supplies came from the treasury, and no additional pennies were apportioned to the people. Yongzheng added a quartermaster room for this battle, and later changed its name to the Military Aircraft Department, and ordered Prince Yi Yunxiang to take charge of the matter. Prince Yi is able to do things, and Yongzheng cooperate tacitly, after a few years, the sea did not know the use of soldiers, the people live and work in peace and contentment, everywhere a prosperous peace, prosperity and prosperity.
On the side of the flickering lanterns, noisy and lively street, there is a plainly decorated Lantern Festival stall, it is the Lantern Festival, the business of the stall is very prosperous, dozens of seats are actually full. One of the most eye-catching is a man dressed in a sable dress, who looks close to his old age, with sharp phoenix eyes deep and indifferent, and a handsome and majestic face, although he sits on a simple wooden bench in the paving, he behaves nobly, like sitting on a cloud. Although he was so out of place here, he actually ordered two bowls of Lantern Festival in one go, a bowl of five-kernel stuffing and a bowl of jujube paste filling, but he only ate one bowl of Lantern Festival with five-kernel filling, but put another bowl of Lantern Festival with jujube paste filling aside, and carefully placed chopsticks and spoons and other tableware. Every time the man ate a few bites, he looked up at another bowl of Lantern Festival for a while, his face was sinking like water, his eyes were long, as if he was waiting for someone, but he sighed secretly because the person he was waiting for had not arrived for a long time.
There were also two servants standing beside the man, both well-dressed and very well-behaved. I saw the two of them standing bowed down, waiting for the master to send them at any time, but they didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, they all held their breath and didn't squint. The guests around this table are all strong people, all of them have eyes like torches, and they are powerful, and at first glance they are people who know how to practice martial arts. Although these people also set up bowls of Lantern Festival in front of them, they all ate a little absent-mindedly, but always looked at the hustle and bustle of the street market.
When the old shopkeeper saw that the nobleman, who had been dining here for four consecutive years, had ordered two more bowls of Lantern Festival, and only ate one of them, he sighed secretly, came over to add some hot soup to the nobleman, and persuaded him: "The nobleman is waiting for your brother again?" Ay! Your brother must have wanted to come back and spend the Lantern Festival with you, perhaps because of the long distance, or because he was stumbling over something. Don't be sad, according to the old man, your brother will definitely be able to come back in time to eat Lantern Festival with you next year! ”
This well-dressed and elegantly behaved noble man is Yongzheng who left the palace in microclothes.
Since the death of that person, Yongzheng will come to this stall every Lantern Festival to sit for a while and order two bowls of Lantern Festival. On the Lantern Festival in the sixth year of Yongzheng, when Yongzheng Weifu came here to eat Lantern Festival, the old shopkeeper enthusiastically asked why his handsome younger brother wearing a white fox cloak did not come together. After hearing this, Yongzheng lowered his head and lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, but he sighed and said: "My brother has been out for more than half a year, but there is no news at all, and I don't know when he will return. After hearing this, the old shopkeeper sighed in his heart, and secretly guessed what happened to the handsome boy in white who seemed to be like a fairy? However, he said a lot of words of consolation, saying that it was because of the long distance and the uncertain return date was also a common thing, so Yongzheng did not have to worry too much. And these old shopkeepers saw that Yongzheng came here every year to wait, but they never saw the white-clothed boy appear, and they guessed in their hearts that the boy must have encountered an accident, but they didn't dare to inform Yongzheng of this cruel guess, and they still stepped forward to comfort him every year.
Yongzheng heard the old shopkeeper say that the person would definitely be able to come here with him to eat Lantern Festival next year, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was filled with a sourness. Yongzheng didn't answer, he was silent for a long time, and all his emotions turned into a sigh.
Yongzheng felt uncomfortable in his heart, and was about to get up and leave, but was suddenly attracted by a crisp and pleasant children's sound.
"Mother, mother, come on! I've found this shop! Sure enough, there is the Lantern Festival you mentioned here! Wow~ It looks hot, round, and must be delicious! ”
Yongzheng followed the prestige, only to see a six-year-old brocade boy jumping towards the Lantern Festival shop quickly, the snow-white and pink face is as smooth as jade, the little face is very cute, a pair of phoenix eyes are as black as ink, talking and laughing looking forward to Shenfei, extremely smart and lovely.
Yongzheng looked at this little boy who had never met in a daze, and there was a moment of trance, and he secretly wondered in his heart, this child was born so familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
When Yongzheng was stunned, the little boy moved extremely quickly and rushed into the stall quickly. I saw him blink his smart phoenix eyes and glance around the stall, and he couldn't help but pout secretly and muttered, "It won't be so sad!" There were no seats! When did I get such a bad character? It's not scientific! ”
Yongzheng was amused by the funny conversation of this little boy who was different from ordinary people, and the corners of his mouth rose, but this barely visible smile frightened a group of attendants and secret guards, and they all secretly wondered in their hearts where this little boy came from? actually has this ability to make the emperor laugh at this time. Since the death of Prince Lian, the emperor will be in a particularly gloomy mood every time the prince's death day and Lantern Festival, and no one dares to make the emperor unhappy at this time, otherwise he will end miserably.
Yongzheng saw the cute little boy's face full of disappointment and frustration, so he said, "Come here, there is a vacancy here." ”
The little boy looked up and saw Yongzheng pointing to the vacant seat beside him to let him pass, his dark eyes rolled, and then he raised a smile as bright as the sun, and happily agreed: "Okay! Thank you for this uncle! ”
The little boy quickly rubbed the seat next to Yongzheng as he spoke, and then said to the shopkeeper in a crisp and pleasant voice and a very sweet tone: "Grandpa, please bring me two bowls of Lantern Festival with jujube paste filling!" After that, he raised his cute little face at Yongzheng, stared at Yongzheng innocently with his dark and smart phoenix eyes, and said pitifully: "This uncle, my mother also loves to eat the Lantern Festival with jujube paste filling, can you let her sit here and eat with me for a while?" The other tables were already full, and there was really no place left, and my uncle couldn't bear to let her, a weak woman, stand and eat pitifully! ”
Yongzheng frowned when he heard this, feeling that this matter was not in line with etiquette and was very inappropriate, so he wanted to open his mouth to refuse. Anyway, he was about to leave, so he thought about simply giving up this seat to the mother and son. However, he was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by a pleasant voice.
"Momo, you naughty little devil is not well-behaved again, is it? How dare you throw me off and run so far alone! Let's see if I can take you out to play in the future! ”
Yongzheng looked up, only to see a young beauty dressed in a lake-green Hanfu covered with a white mink cloak walking quickly, this beauty combed the woman's hair bun, a pretty face is beautiful and dusty, difficult to describe, a pair of delicate phoenix eyes moist and clear, looking into it through the cold, the skin is better than snow, delicate as jade, the shoulders are like a knife, the waist is like a su, the posture between the walks is staggering, every move is elegant, a smile is moving.
Yongzheng looked at the clear and moist delicate phoenix eyes of this beauty in a daze, and suddenly it was an illusion of some time, as if he saw someone he had not seen for a long time again, and his heart couldn't help but stir.
Na Liren walked into the stall, found that this lovely little boy was actually at the same table with a strange man, at first stunned, then walked forward and turned sideways, and said politely in a soft and pleasant voice: "My little son has always been naughty, and I want to come to Mr. to cause a lot of trouble, I apologize to Mr. on behalf of Xiaoer, and hope that Mr. will read that Xiaoer is young and ignorant, and forgive him for his recklessness." ”
Yongzheng heard the beauty's distant and polite apology, and said with a gentle face: "Although Ling Lang is young, he has a moderate demeanor and interesting words and deeds. He didn't cause me any trouble, I saw that he was clever and cute, and I took the initiative to invite him to eat at the same table. He is still young, so he doesn't have to be too restrained, and if he is too strict, it will wear out his aura. I think he's fine now. ”
When the beauty heard that Yongzheng praised his youngest son, she really smiled, although she was still polite, but the pride and joy in the eyes of the exquisite phoenix were extremely obvious, which made Yongzheng laugh secretly, and secretly said that this woman and the little boy are worthy of being mother and son, and their words and deeds are so different, but they are unexpectedly not annoying, but they make people feel that they are natural and free, sincere and lovely.
When Momo saw his mother, he jumped off the bench, threw himself into his mother's arms, and pulled his mother to be cute and cute, which made the beauty cry and laugh. At this time, the old shopkeeper brought the two bowls of jujube paste stuffed Lantern Festival that Momo had just asked for on the table, and Momo had to pull his mother to sit down and eat Lantern Festival together, the beauty felt that this was very inappropriate, but she really couldn't help Momo, so she could only sit awkwardly opposite Yongzheng, and apologized again before chewing slowly and eating the Lantern Festival in front of her.
Gao Wuyong, Zhang Qilin, and the secret guards who were standing behind Yongzheng were a little surprised to see that Yongzheng, who had always been strict and majestic, was eating at the same table with a strange woman and a child.
Yongzheng looked at the big and small mother and son in front of him, and after eating the first bite of the Lantern Festival, they no longer spoke, but concentrated on dealing with the Lantern Festival in front of them. I saw that the mouths of the two of them were bulging, and the two pairs of delicate phoenix eyes were slightly squinted, revealing a very satisfied expression.
Yongzheng was stunned, but he suddenly remembered in his heart that the last time he brought that person here to eat Lantern Festival, that person also looked satisfied with his meal. Although the light market is still bustling and noisy, the person is nowhere to be found, and he can't help but feel stunned.
No Liability Small Theater: (not related to the text)
Yongzheng: I seem to have seen this little boy named Momo somewhere.
M: Whoa, guess who he is?
Yongzheng: ...... Who is it?
M: Your son! It's your little wife's son who accidentally lost three years ago! I've worked hard to get him back, don't you bury my exploits! ok?
Yongzheng: ...... I don't have a son who can grow into a six-year-old in just two years!
M: If it weren't for the mercy of the Twilight Dynasty, your son would be eight feet tall and ready to go into the white blade empty-handed!
