Chapter 337: Degassing
In the afternoon, Li Wei passed the time with the play book, and the jade bottle quietly came in and said to her: "The thirteenth master hasn't left the palace yet." β
Since the thirteenth master returned to Beijing, as long as he came, he would be left by the fourth master for a day, watching the music together, and having lunch together. That's why she's so idle to fight mosquitoes. They are not used to the jade bottle, so they have to stare every day to see when the thirteenth master will leave.
It wasn't until dusk that Zhang Desheng came over to invite, and the Yongshou Palace came alive like a dragon and tossed her to change her clothes.
Li Wei declined the kindness of the jade bottle and left without applying grease powder.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the hall is cool and cool, usually even if you just approach the entrance of the temple, the heat wave will come to your face. Even if the sun comes out after it has set, the ground will be unpleasantly baked.
Applying grease powder is like sticking the pores on your face. Since the fourth master said that she didn't paint a small color, she no longer refused to be powdered.
Women can't resist the temptation to be younger.
In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the fourth master put down the book in his hand when he saw her come in, and said with a smile: "Come here." When she obediently stood in front of him, he took her hand and sighed softly: "It seems like I haven't seen you for a long time." β
It didn't take long, only three to five days.
When Li Wei came, he brought a fan to shade the sun, and at this time he held the fan in his hand, and he took it and said: "This fan is not good, Thirteen brought some good fans." As he spoke, he called Su Peisheng to carry the box with the fan.
The six-and-a-half-person-high boxes slipped out in a row, and she couldn't help but be surprised to think that these were all fans brought back from Jiangnan by the Thirteenth Master?
Su Peisheng said on the side: "The slave thought that the room was small, so he only picked the first six boxes of the first six boxes and carried them over. β
The fourth master nodded and let people open the box.
The boxes opened to be flat boxes of different sizes, each with a yellow seal on it. The little eunuchs took out the box, picked off the yellow seal with bamboo knives, and then opened it and held it in front of the masters.
Most fans come in pairs, and the materials are varied.
The fourth master picked out several handles for her, and replaced the one in her hand first. In fact, he only gave it to her this year.
However, these things are just for enjoyment, there are no televisions, computers and newspapers, people can only study in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Especially a woman who has been confined to the palace all her life, what do you enjoy if you don't enjoy this?
Li Wei followed his wishes, picked up each handle and used it for him to see, and Zuihou picked out a silk flower and bird fan with an ivory handle. When she took the fan and fanned the wind in front of him, he nodded with satisfaction and asked people to send all six boxes to the Yongshou Palace.
Li Wei stopped: "Long live, why don't you keep rewarding people?" β
The fourth master waved his hand, and Su Peisheng led someone to carry the box down. "Good things are naturally to stay, don't worry, I have another reward."
What he was holding in his hand was a folding fan, with words on the front and back, Li Wei didn't look right, so she held his hand and turned it over. It's not his words on the back.
He laughed: "See? This is the fan that I wrote with Thirteen. β
It seems that their brothers are locked up in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and they may not be talking about business, isn't this quite leisurely?
Li Wei saw that there were still people carrying the futon out, so she guessed that the thirteenth master must have stayed in the Yangxin Palace in the past few days, and maybe he would sleep with the fourth master.
She was distracted here, but the fourth master was holding back his heart of pleasure and relaxation after being busy for a few days. After he called Su Su to the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw that people still felt insufficient, so he suddenly got up and said, "Let's go to the Imperial Garden with me." β
After that, he had already taken the first step, and Li Wei had to hurry up to follow.
After traveling around the Imperial Garden for a long time, and also went into the Wanchun Pavilion to drink tea, she guessed from what he said that if it wasn't for the lack of time, he would want to go to Jingshan for a turn, and said that it would be good to wait for the Old Summer Palace to be repaired, etc., and guessed that he was busy enough to see the scenery, but everywhere the Forbidden City went there were houses and no scenery to enjoy.
It's not as good as the Old Summer Palace, and you can see the blue waves as soon as you look up.
Xing Chong rushed out of the door, and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the fourth master said: "It's too hot these days, and when the rain is cool, I will take you to Jingshan." β
But the next day, he couldn't wait for the rain so he had to take a group of people to Jingshan to run horses.
When Li Wei sat in the car, he thought that his temperament was really getting more and more anxious. Lift the curtain of the car and look out, the fourth master and the thirteenth master are riding a horse and walking in the sun, Jingshan is indeed cooler, but just look at these two of them are tanned red, you know that it must be not light.
The thirteenth master is two shades darker than the fourth master, and the neck and face exposed outside are all black and red. Moreover, the fourth master who was compared to him was compared to a fat man.
For example, the thirteenth master is one meter eight tall and weighs one hundred and fourteen, and the fourth master is one hundred and sixteen.
Although he is only a little fatter, it is obvious that the fourth master is better than the thirteenth, and he is more plump.
The two brothers didn't know what to say, the fourth master took the horsewhip hand and compared it forward, both of them ran out on horseback, and the guards who followed behind also followed with a hula.
Li Wei didn't change her riding clothes at all today, she ran against the big sun, she really thanked Bumin. And the fourth master's enthusiasm for the thirteenth master has not passed, and the younger brother is very sticky these days.
When I arrived at the place, the tent had already been set up in advance. Li Wei got out of the car and could enter the tent directly, but it was cool and breezy outside, and she took the jade bottle around in a circle.
Probably because she came, Thirteen brought out the Zhaojia clan as well. It's just that Zhaojia's is only out of confinement, and Mama Liu has made up for her a little, and now she is fatter, and she is sweating when she moves a little, and it is hard to watch. Li Wei asked her to go back to the tent to rest first, she went to see the children, and persuaded Zhao Jiashi to return to the tent before she left.
Baifu and Creation have been brought out, and the place of Yongshou Palace is not small enough for them to run, and they ran happily as soon as they got off the car just now. Kiko followed them closely.
Seeing Li Wei, the two little guys ran over to surround her, she patted her head one by one and said, "Go play." They just ran away, but they all ran a little further and looked back at her, as if to remember where their master was.
Li Wei instructed Xiao Xizi: "There are a lot of people coming today, be careful not to let them run away, and avoid them quickly when you see the horses riding by the guards." β
"The minions are all concerned, your lord can rest assured." Xiao Xizi was busy, and when she saw the dogs running away, she hurried to shout.
Su Peisheng came over and said, "Your lord, the sun is getting big now, and the slave is waiting for you to go back and rest, right?" β
Li Wei guessed that he probably had something to say outside, so he put it on his hand and went back to the tent, sat down and waited for her to finish washing, Su Peisheng said that the fourth master and the thirteenth master had disappeared, and the lunch would probably not be used again.
"Then do as Banzai says." She said.
Su Peisheng glanced at the concubine twice, and saw that it didn't look like a lie, so he came out without any other instructions after waiting for a while. came out and muttered, didn't the concubine follow? Hooray is outside, and she's just staying here?
Without the fourth master and no children, Li Wei suddenly felt relaxed all over. She didn't want to sit in the tent anymore, so she asked Zhao Quan to keep watching the stall, and she took people to the mountains to walk.
When Su Peisheng finished speaking, he saw that the concubine's palanquin and people were gone! left a Zhao Quanbao, and this kid also said: "Our mother went out for a walk." β
Su Peisheng said in his heart, who are you fooling? The concubine must have gone to find Banzai. Then I thought about it again, no, Banzai is running on a horse, except for the Thirteenth Master and the guards with him, he doesn't know where Banzai is now. The concubine wants to chase in a sedan chair? It was a pipe dream.
Don't think of Jingshan as the Old Summer Palace, right? It's a big place!
Su Peisheng thought that he would be able to see the concubine return disappointed in a while, and couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Quanbao looked at his uneasy and kind face, and deliberately stepped forward and said, "What good thing does Grandpa Su want?" β
Su Peisheng came back to his senses, and hurriedly patted him and said, "Don't worry, your grandfather will never forget you if he has good deeds." β
Zhao Quanbao smiled: "The little one is waiting." "Who are you coaxing?
On the other side, Li Wei got on the sedan chair and let people carry it when she was tired of walking, and when she was tired of sitting, she came down and walked, and told the jade bottle that she forgot to bring the horse over. The jade bottle said: "If the master wants to ride, let people bring it?" β
Li Wei waved her hand and said no, it was almost lunchtime, if you want to ride in the afternoon, you will ride again.
As he was walking, there was a sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and the accompanying guards hurriedly greeted him a hundred and ten meters. Most of the masters came to Jingshan on horseback, but the concubines walked. If the person who came in front didn't see it clearly, it would be a trouble to bump into the concubine, not to mention the concubine, but also the people around her.
Li Wei was protected behind, and until now she only heard the sound of the two teams converging, and the sound of horses' hooves became more and more, but she couldn't see which side of the people were coming.
She remembered that the guards all wore flags, and she was busy letting the people around her see the flags.
One of the guards came back and said, "Hooray." β
Sure enough, I saw the bright yellow flag erected high.
The fourth master understood that it was Su Su when he saw the head of the guards in the past, and he turned his head to Thirteen and said, "It's the concubine's person." β
Thirteen also saw the golden flag of the concubine.
There are these two yellow flags in Jingshan now, and you can know who they are at first sight.
He hurriedly dismounted: "Brother please greet the concubine." β
The fourth master waved his hand: "No need to be polite." He rode over, and the guards in front of him knelt down to make way for him.
Li Wei saw him riding over, and also squatted down.
The fourth master stretched out his hand to her on the horse: "Come up, I will take you over." β
She saw that the thirteenth master was saluting her behind the fourth master, and hurriedly raised his hand to flatten him, and then took the fourth master's hand, and he stretched out his arm and hugged her.
Sitting on his horse, the Thirteenth Master also rode up from behind.
The fourth master smiled: "I was running back, I didn't expect to meet you here." When he saw Su Su with a sedan chair by her side, he knew that she was coming for a walk.
Back in the camp, people saw Ming Huangqi come out early and knelt down to greet him.
Zhao Quanbao also saw the flag of the concubine, and immediately led people to greet him.
The fourth master dismounted first, then hugged her down, and said, "Call the children back and eat together for a while." β
She asked the guards to get on their horses and spread the word separately, and in a short time she saw more than twenty flags gathered towards the camp. Then I saw a group of guards escorting the brothers on horseback.
When it was time for dinner, it was lively, a large area in the center of the camp was covered with carpet, the fourth master was at the top, Li Wei sat behind him, and in front of him was a small table. The thirteenth master sat first on the left, and when he sat down, he resigned for a long time, and the fourth master insisted that he sit there.
Honghui took Hongyu and waited to sit in the left column, and Hongxi waited to sit in the right column.
Erhe is also a small table, but he sits further than Honghui and is close to the fourth master's table.
Hongyun was led by a eunuch and also had a table for him.
A picnic was eaten like a big scene.
The fourth master was very happy, and after serving the table, he frequently appreciated the dishes, saying that Hongxi likes to eat this assorted vegetable roll, and the mung bean sprouts enoki mushrooms wrapped in tofu skin were put on it, and let people bring it to him. It is said that Hongsheng likes to eat edamame, Hongjin loves to eat big lapis, Hongshu loves to eat stewed tofu, and so on. It seems that every brother's taste has been remembered by him.
Every time he clicked on someone, that person would quickly rise and give thanks. He loves his brother's nephew more than his own children.
Li Wei also has a plate of shredded apples on her table.
When she ate, she thought that the fourth master was indeed careful and thoughtful, and it was moving that he was willing to give this heart when he was the emperor. The Hongxi and others she saw these two times, in addition to Hongxi looking as respectful, down like Hongsheng of the third master's family and Hongshu of the seventh master's family, they were not so sincere and afraid when they faced the fourth master, they didn't dare to say that they didn't dare to sit, and they didn't dare to do anything.
Now Hongsheng is fighting with Hongshu, holding the wine with rice wine and pouring a heroic toast.
The fourth master saw it and smiled, and asked people to carry two more urns for them, and said, "Just drink, drink the sweat Ama and let people carry you to the car." β
Hongsheng smiled and said, "Xie Khan Ama! "Then I have to come over to Honghui to drink. Honghui couldn't help it, so he barely drank three cups.
In the evening, the fourth master sighed to her: "Thirteen is really my humerus. β
There was still Yongzheng money in the basket on the kang table, and he picked up one and sighed: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, I really don't dare to make a mistake in the slightest." He tossed the coin back with a crisp thud.
"Put away all these Yongzheng Tongbao." He said abruptly, "Wait for the Baoyuan Bureau to send the new money, and I will bring it to you to play with." β
Although Li Wei still didn't know what was going on, she also nodded. "Then let's get someone out of here." She pointed to the big money string made of 100 Yongzheng coins placed in the east five rooms.
A string of five, four strands of one, looks small but very heavy. The fourth master insisted that someone get a mahogany shelf to hang it.
The fourth master looked at the large string of money, and said after a while: "...... No, just leave it at that. β
It also makes me look at it from time to time and reflect on myself every day.
After a few days, Li Wei asked people to take back the Yongzheng Tongbao scattered in the palace. After the fourth master gave her this money last year, she used this to reward people. The whole Yongshou Palace also likes to use Yongzheng money instead of gold and silver slots when rewarding.
With her taking the lead, it has become fashionable to reward Yongzheng money in the West Sixth Palace. Especially after a New Year, the eunuchs and palace maids ate wine and played cards and dice, using Yongzheng money.
The fourth master's attitude has changed, and she will naturally have to change. Let people take the silver and redeem all the Yongzheng money.
This exchange, she only knew what happened to Yongzheng Qian.
Zhao Quanbao smiled bitterly: "The slave hasn't been out for a long time, but I don't know about this market." "He went to exchange money according to the public price, a tael of silver for a thousand coins.
"How much did you get out?" She asked.
Zhao Quanbao took out the remaining silver and said, "Now I can only redeem more than seven hundred." β
Li Wei gasped, this is less than thirty percent?
Zhao Quanbao hurriedly said: "It's like this in the palace, and the capital can exchange more than nine hundred, which is quite a lot." β
The jade bottle also said: "It's enough, when I was at home, I also exchanged money for a jβ‘jhundred, and I always wanted to give someone a little benefit." β
When Zaijian arrived at the fourth master, she sighed: "I didn't expect the money in the palace to be so expensive? β
The fourth master sneered: "It's not that the money is expensive, but they can't take out the money." β
