The original Chengjun Palace, now it has become Baylor Mansion.

The third master sat in the study, with an ancient book spread out in front of him, but his mind was not on it at all.

Outside the window, the spring is cold, and the cubicle of the study is still burning. Because there are many ancient books in the study, he is never allowed to light a brazier in the study to keep warm.

Although the cubicle was burned, he was still wearing a cotton robe and fur shoulders in the study. In this way, after sitting all morning, the tips of my fingers and toes were still cold.

He doesn't remember much about what happened when he was a child. Eniang was named Concubine Rong and lived in Changchun Palace. The palace is large, and when he was a child, he always liked to run around in the Changchun Palace in the company of his grandmother, listening to the echo of footsteps.

E-Niang never disciplined him much, nor did she ask him to be motivated. No matter what he did, she smiled and said yes. After entering the upper study, he found that Huang Ama always praised the prince for his good studies, so he devoted more energy to studying Sinology. E-niang knew, and just prepared dim sum supplements for him, so that he didn't blindly study hard and waste his hard work.

"You're still young, don't rush it." E-Niang often said this to him.

Knowing that he had four brothers, but all of them died when he was eleven years old, he grew into an adult and became an adult, and the nurse and the mother reported to the mother that she arranged for him to be a palace maid who was sleeping and the accountant to teach personnel, and the old eunuch who had been years old came to explain to him how to be a royal woman, how to fix the essence without hurting the body, and so on.

Probably after the personnel, the nurse and the waiter thought that he was too old, and there were some things that he didn't have to shy away from in front of him. Once, when Mama advised him to pay attention to his body and not stay up late to read, he said: "Brother should also think more about his mother, and gave birth to five and left only you as a single seedling. ”

Now that I think of hearing this sentence in the cold night, the third master who has already left the palace and opened the mansion still feels chills. For as long as he can remember, E-Niang has not been very favored. Although the emperor often has rewards, he rarely comes to Eniang for the night. At that time, the most favored in the palace were Concubine Yi and Concubine De.

Therefore, he never knew that E-Niang was once very favored and gave birth to so many children, but few survived.

He originally thought that Eniang was canonized because of him. When Kangxi sealed the harem in the twentieth year, all the concubines who had children, except for Dai Jia, the biological mother of the seventh brother, were concubines. He thought that this was the emperor's way to elevate the status of the elder brothers. That's why he worked so hard in the upper study.

He thought that Concubine De and Concubine Yi had more than one son. Although Concubine Hui has only one eldest brother, the eldest elder brother is a thousand years old and is the eldest son whom the emperor loves very much. Only his mother, Concubine Rong, has a son, and he is not at the top of the ranking. If you don't get motivated, the emperor is afraid that he will forget about Eniang.

He also has to work hard for Eniang.

After learning that he had many brothers, he tried harder. He thought that those brothers who he didn't know before must be watching him, and he would be filial to his mother for them and motivated for them.

When E-Niang mentioned Sanfujin and the three dead children, his calm tone and indifferent expression made him feel E-Niang's pain from the bottom of his heart.

Children are weak, and the slightest disturbance will lead to death. When the grass falls, the wind is a little, the quilt is not tightly covered when sleeping, the window leaks a little crack, and a small life is gone. ’

Could this be how E-Niang felt after his brother's death? But it was too late to understand.

Just like him, now that he knows, he finds out, but it's too late. The three elder brothers were all dead, and he only remembered that they were carried out by Mama when they first landed, and the little red things were tightly squeezed, and their little hands were clenched.

Mama happily reported the good news: "Congratulations to the third master!" It's a little brother! ”

When they came again, they hung their heads low, and the whole person shrank so that they could not see the shadow, standing three steps away from him, and kept sweeping his expression with the wind in the corners of his eyes, and whispered: "The third master mourns...... Little Brother went to ......"

Every time he heard the news, he would chill and shiver. Then he went to see Sanfujin's two children, who were healthy and beautiful, sensible and smart. They are fine, they are living well, and their dark eyes are very smart.

On the day of the palace banquet, he came back drunk, but in fact, he was already half drunk when he was in the car. He just vented his drunkenness, but he couldn't get drunk when he wanted to be drunk.

After returning home, Sanfu Jin came to wait for him to wash, and he kicked her aside with a hateful kick, pointed at her and scolded: "You tell me!" Isn't it you! Isn't it you!! ”

Sanfujin knelt down and cried, "Master, what are you crazy about?" Where did you get angry and sprinkle it on me? ”

He grabbed her, stared at her face and asked, "Second Elder Brother, Fourth Elder Brother, Fifth Elder Brother." ”

Sanfujin's expression changed, and he was no longer aggrieved or pleading. She panicked. Even if it was only for a moment, he understood. She did it! She did it!

He threw her to the ground and turned around looking for a knife in the house. His waist knife was given by the emperor and hung on the wall of his bedroom. During his thirty-five years of expedition to Gerdan, he used it to kill many enemies.

He pulled out his waist knife, and Sanfujin, who was lying on the ground, protected his stomach, reminding him of his two sons who were still alive. This is their mother-in-law, and he can't kill her.

Sanfujin stopped crying, although her face was still full of tears, her eyes were resolute, and her expression was no longer panicked. Half of her body was hiding behind a cupboard, and she didn't even call for help.

She was waiting for him to calm down.

The third master also calmed down. He had never been so sober. Sanfujin is not someone who needs his protection, she is not weak. She's a strong person. At such a time, she could clearly know that he would not kill her.

The knife was unsheathed, and the sound of the cold and piercing blade scraping against the scabbard made Sanfujin tremble. He watched her every move, lifted his leg over her, and left the room.

After surviving the New Year's feast, Sanfu Jincai fell ill. Both he and she knew that instead of exposing the news that Fujin had poisoned his concubine, it was better to let these three elder brothers 'die young'. He had just been demoted from the king of the county to Baylor, and there were considerations from the emperor here, so he could no longer hand over the handle.

The rise and fall of the prince of the county is a warning from the emperor's grace.

He didn't want to make another bigger scandal and be reduced to a shellfish, the chicken that was killed to show the monkey.

A few days ago, someone from Sanfujin came to report that the charcoal fire was insufficient, and Sanfujin was even sicker. The quarrel between him and Sanfujin is known in the house, not to mention that Sanfujin killed the three elder brothers, and he was about to ask Tian Gege to be named the side Fujin, and the excerpts were all written, and the mansion was also spread.

Sanfujin told him that someone had begun to oppress her.

He ignored it. A little charcoal fire, just a freeze, what will happen? Besides, her illness, hum, a little true. How much fake? The fourth and fifth blessings have come to see her, does she think there will be rumors among the clansmen? Although Wufujin is not in tune, the fifth brother is an understanding person. Sifujin cherishes her reputation, how can she say good things for her in this muddy water?

There was a eunuch outside the house, and Lu Cheng, the personal eunuch waiting in the house, glanced at him cautiously, walked over, and said a few words to the eunuch Fu Er, Lu Cheng came over hesitantly, bowed down and whispered: "Third master, Fujin invited a doctor over there, and said that it was ...... Bun in the oven. ”

The third master was not surprised at all. Seeing her protect her stomach that day, she didn't react at the time, but he understood it in a few days. She is happy, no wonder she hasn't panicked at all these days.

Lu Cheng was still waiting for his orders, and he said lightly: "Let Fujin keep it." ”

Lu Cheng glanced at him incomprehensibly, turned around and went out to speak.

Sanfujin wants to raise a fetus, Tian Gege wants to enter the side Fujin, and the house is lively. While saying that the third master is still reluctant to Sanfujin, knock and knock, and wait for the fetus to land, it is estimated that this house is still the world of Sanfujin. On the other side, although there is no accurate letter, but seeing that the third master is so angry, Sanfujin will not be better this time. Tian Gege entered the side Fujin, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future.

The next year, Sanfujin gave birth to a daughter. But the big brother is gone.

At the same time, the Wang family in the house, that is, the biological mother of the third elder brother, gave birth to the sixth elder brother. The third master is strictly protected, and this child passed the full moon smoothly.

But when the six-year-old eldest brother was gone, when the third master went to Sanfujin, he only saw her hugging the eldest brother and crying silently.

The third master only felt top-heavy, and Lu Cheng next to him hurriedly supported him: "Third master! ”

Big Brother had pox last year, and he will go to the study this year. When he was three years old, he opened his hands, and the stickers were all hand-made by him, and the red drawings were all read by him, Amma. He was now smoking a long strip, and he thought he was a little thin, and was thinking about taking him on horseback riding more in the future.

He staggered over, and Sanfujin hugged the eldest brother like a she-wolf protecting her cubs and retreated, not letting him touch it.

"Give it to me!" He glared at Sanfujin with red eyes, and stretched out his hand to hug the eldest brother.

The eldest brother was lying softly in Sanfujin's arms, he was sick a few days ago, and now he is only wearing a snow-white undershirt, with a thin black braid hanging down from the pillow, looking like he is still alive.

The third master had an impulse to think, could the doctor have made a mistake?

Sanfujin's arm was out of strength, and as soon as he went up to hug her, she let go of her hand. Looking closely, her face was haggard, her expression was panicked, and her whole person seemed to have lost all her spirit.

The eldest brother was already cold, and the third master touched his face, and when he touched his cold and stiff chin, his hand shook, and he almost dropped the eldest brother. He picked up the quilt on the couch and wrapped it around the eldest brother, looking around blankly, not knowing where to take the eldest brother.

"Where are you taking him?" Sanfujin still had tears on her face, she sat on the couch and stretched out her hand: "Give him back to me." ”

She couldn't stand up on her feet.

The third master understands that his legs are as stiff as wood now. Every time a child went, he couldn't come back to his senses for a few days. Thinking of the dead brothers, he looked at Sanfujin with hatred.

The death of the eldest brother is inexplicable. But all this is the beginning of Sanfu's promotion!

Sanfu Jin smiled indifferently and said, "Hehe, do you think it's just me?" Her hand pointed in the direction of the courtyard of Fujin on the side of the field, "They are all the same." ”

She seemed to have the strength, got up and took the eldest brother out of the arms of the third master, carefully put it on the couch, sorted out his clothes for him, as if he was still alive, covered him with a brocade quilt, and then sat down, looking lovingly at the child who seemed to be sleeping.

"Since I gave birth to this shell, I can't fight it?" Sanfujin said calmly, I don't know whether to say it to myself or to the third master.

"Do you think I'm the only one? It's the same for everyone. They all want to go up, who wants to be like pigs, cows, sheep and horses, just eat and sleep every day, waiting for others to slaughter? Sanfujin's gaze seemed to pierce the third master. She said, "Master, you condemned me. But what about them? Big Brother is gone, do you dare to say a word? ”

Third Master: "...... If it weren't for the ...... you started with"

Sanfujin interrupted him and said, "Even if I didn't do anything, do you think they would let my two children go?" ”

Third Master: "......" He is not so naïve.

"I want to protect my children, I can't deal with them?" Sanfujin said.

“…… You can. The third master said with difficulty, "You can deal with them, but you are dealing with my elder brother!" ”

Sanfujin's eyes flashed with tears, and she and Sanye looked at each other. The third master said: "You weishenme don't deal with them?" It's just because the brothers are small, and the newborn children are easy to deal with. Those Gege who were elected to the government, they are adults. A cold wind can harm a child, but it may not harm an adult, right? It's so harmful that you can't tell. It's good at home, but if you enter the house, you won't die? No one cares about how many children don't grow up, right? ”

Sanfujin lowered his head, and tears fell on the eldest brother's face.

The third master couldn't bear to say any more, he looked at the eldest brother sadly, and said for a long time: "...... You take good care of the third elder brother, he is the son of the house. No matter where I go in the future, he will be the son of the world. ”

Sanfujin suddenly came back to his senses and muttered, "Third Master ......"

Is this to return the power of Fujin to her?

The third master walked out, and the words of Sanfujin echoed in his head: 'Do you think I am the only one?' It's the same for everyone. They all want to go up, who wants to be like pigs, cows, sheep and horses, just eat and sleep every day, waiting for others to slaughter? ’

Suzhou, Caofu.

Cao Yin was holding a sticker in his hand, there were only a few words in it, and the names and origins of the people were clearly understood. The porter didn't take it seriously when he received this post, because this person came to the door in the name of Cao Yin's old friend of the same year. Since the emperor's southern tour, such a prayer post can collect two large baskets every day.

If it weren't for the words in the house, all the stickers would have to be handed in, and the porter wouldn't even bother to accept it.

The person who handed it said that he was born in the capital, and Cao Yin's master picked it out in a pile of worship stickers and put it in a group of prefects and other three or four grade officials to send it to Cao Yin.

A few days after handing over the sticker, the man came to the door again. Cao Yin took a look at it and found out that this person was a eunuch. Not to mention how this person got out of the palace, just because he can find the door of the Cao family, he knows that what he wants is not small.

Who knew that this person only said two words: "Hello Lord Cao, my master asks Lord Cao An." And then he left.

Leaving Cao Yin to meditate on this worship post. Zuihou found a clue on the day of the payment of the paste. He turned over the reply letter from Jiangnan's tax to Beijing last year, a pair, the date of the tax to Beijing was the same as the date of the visit.

Cao Yin was shocked into a cold sweat.

This master dared to send a eunuch out of Beijing to him, and he did not shy away from it, that is, he clearly revealed his identity to him. pointed out the tax, sent out the greeting sticker, did not say a word, but everything was clear.

He stood up and looked at the capital. There, there's a hidden dragon...... I can't hold it anymore......

In the capital, in Yuqing Palace, the prince was finishing writing a word, and he looked at it with satisfaction. The eunuch next to him joked: "Your Highness, this word is so good!" ”

"What can you understand, you dog? Don't defile the master's words. The prince laughed and scolded and told him to get out.

The eunuch smiled and was not afraid, and when he came down, a eunuch who was waiting beside the prince just now asked him cautiously: "Bao, how dare you talk to His Highness like that?" ”

"Look at what scares you, Your Highness is not a tiger, can he still eat you?" The eunuch named Ah Bao gave the man a blank look.

The eunuch shuddered and said, "Your Highness is more powerful than a tiger." ”

Ah Bao tugged at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Your Highness is a good person." He thought about it, called him aside, and whispered: "Last time, His Highness's nurse came, and His Highness specially asked about Ma Yuan." ”

"Ma Yuan?" The eunuch sighed and said, "It's the Ma Yuan who suddenly grew a lot of white on his body, said that he would grow to his face, and was kicked out of the palace." ”

Bao said: "Not really. Ma Yuan was unlucky to be like that, and finally got to the master's side, but he had such a strange disease again. In the future, if your face is white and red, the master will be so upset. I didn't settle down when he was kicked out, but who knew that His Royal Highness had entrusted Lord Ling Pu to take care of him, and he specially rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. With this silver, Ma Yuan will not starve to death when he returns to his hometown to buy a few pieces of land. ”

The eunuch nodded frequently, and Ah Bao said, "Did you say that Your Highness is very good?" I think His Highness is not so fierce, let's talk a few words, His Highness will not be annoyed. Since you can come here to serve Your Highness, don't you come in in vain? ”

The eunuch said, "I don't dare to say so." ”

Po sneered, "Who cares about you? Anyway, I want to try. Maybe I'll be called grandpa in the future. ”

In the house, the prince laid out another piece of paper, but drew a clump of spring flowers.

Jiangnan is just right at this time.
