Contrary to his mood, the weather has always been bad, the sky is cloudy and cloudy, and thunder rolls over the horizon from time to time. The older generation said that this was the dragon king's patrol. At the end of February and the beginning of March, when the pomegranate trees in the yard were just sprouting, suddenly it started to snow again, and it was even colder than during the New Year.

Li Wei was worried that the fourth master would freeze out again in the lobby of the household department, so she began to ask people to send mutton soup over there every day. There is a charcoal stove underneath, and it is still hot when it is delivered there. She also remembered that there were many people there, so she asked someone to buy a big copper kettle that sold oil tea on the street from outside, and sent two large pots over as soon as she gave it away.

After two days, the fourth master came back. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "The people in the household department are waiting for your mutton soup to be delivered every day, and they will go to the door when the time comes." ”

Li Wei was worried that she had gone too far, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you embarrassed?" ”

The fourth master held her hand: "How is it a shame?" It's been three months, the charcoal of the household has long been burned, they are frozen every day, you are accumulating merit, I don't know how many people are thinking of your good in their hearts. ”

She breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, I also guessed that the household department estimated that there was no charcoal, and the charcoal in the house was also burned until the end of February. She also sent some charcoal to the Li family. In the house, charcoal is stored on the Zhuangzi, but the household eats public grain, and the internal affairs government will not kindly send charcoal to them.

After dinner, the fourth master pulled her to talk, from seven o'clock to half past eight, and then lay down and went to bed after washing, his conversation was not over, and he was a mess of excitement.

Zuihou and the two were in harmony. The overly excited fourth master is like a hairy boy in his twenties.

The next day, he went to look for his sons early in the morning. I haven't come back for a long time, so I asked Honghui a few people about their homework, and then focused on Hongshi, and the time of the day passed.

Leaving Li Wei alone, she focused on what the fourth master said last night. He probably can't say these words to the Thirteenth Master, Mr. Dai and the like.

The fourth master said to the thirteenth master with an excited face: "The emperor asked me to go to the south study, just to let me see how many people scolded me!" The emperor is so good to me! ”

This is clearly inappropriate.

The fourth master said that the emperor praised him on the surface, and admiring the garden and calling him into the south study were all expressions of his support for the fourth master. But secretly, it also reminded him to be somewhat restrained.

Since last year, the fourth master began to lead the household department, and the official affairs of each family have found out how much money they have borrowed from the household department on a certain year, month and day, and then recorded them one by one on the fold, one for the record, one for the emperor, and one for the person who owes the silver.

He slapped almost everyone in the capital in the face like this. The emperor is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can receive countless courtiers crying and scolding the fourth master for his unsatisfactory excerpts every day.

The emperor should be annoyed, but he can't be as ruthless as the fourth master.

Originally, it was the fourth master who slapped him, and the emperor gave sweet dates just right. The fourth master is also addicted to fanning people because of this, but the emperor seems to have been unable to give out the sweet dates for half a moment - the silver has not yet returned.

The fourth master can enter the south study, and now he is not the first brother who can be allowed to enter the south study by the emperor, but he is currently the only one. The adults in the south study are all bowed down.

After the music folds from all over the country are sent to the south study, these ministers must first make a distinction according to the emperor's instructions, sort out what the emperor wants to see immediately, and then quickly hand them to the emperor. The emperor didn't think it was that important, so he put it aside and waited for the emperor to come back and look at it.

Beijing officials above the third grade, foreign officials above the fifth grade, these people's excerpts can go directly to the imperial front.

There are also differences in the clan, and this is according to the emperor's closeness to these people. For example, the former Prince Yu Fuquan and Suo Etu, these two former excerpts, even if it was a please excerpt, were sent out on the same day. But since these two went, the successor Prince Yu Baotai did not have this preferential treatment.

The Suo Etu family even lost the right to fold up. If you want to hand over the fold, you have to ask others to hand it up, otherwise you won't be able to get to the south study and 'lose'.

As soon as the fourth master entered the south study, the folds that scolded him disappeared in an instant.

Last night, he laughed as he spoke: "The emperor is relaxed now, and there are forty or fifty fewer excerpts all of a sudden." ”

Every day, forty or fifty people send out a special message to scold you.

Li Wei has a deeper understanding of the fourth master's unpopularity. In modern times, if a provincial governor has forty or fifty of his colleagues complaining to his boss every day, can he still sit still?

He's happy. She's worried, okay?

Li Wei asked him cautiously: "Master, did you really make a list of how much money that person borrowed?" "Wouldn't it be a bit excessive? She kind of knew what those people in the household department were up to.

"Yes, and what reason they borrowed the silver back then. There is a family of Feng'en generals, and they say that their family is empty of the emperor's grace and has not been able to serve the emperor, and the old lady does not allow the family to seek official positions for the emperor, and the whole family points to the title of a general to live. As a result, one day he found that the house where the old lady lived in his family needed to be repaired, and he didn't even have the money to repair the house for his mother, and he felt that he had really lived up to the prestige of his ancestors. ”

Li Wei listened to it interestingly and asked, "What about the back?" ”

Later, the emperor allowed him to lend him silver to repair the house. He borrowed twenty thousand taels. The fourth master said with a smile.

Li Wei didn't believe it: "He took the opportunity to take advantage, right?" 20,000 taels to repair the house? I can pick it up and cover it again. "What about fools?

As a result, the fourth master actually explained to her: "His mother has an order, and the yard where the old lady lives will be renovated, and 20,000 taels will be enough." ”

She suddenly had the feeling that she had seen a female star's bag on the Internet for more than 2 million.

It's just a bag......

She can't understand the shijie of local tyrants and magnates.

Thinking of this Feng'en general, she asked the fourth master: "Master, what he is asking for is borrowing silver...... Or do you want to ask the emperor to give him an official position? ”

The fourth master laughed even harder, and praised her: "I've become smarter." That's it. ”

The emperor is also very bad at saying this. The emperor didn't want to give him an official, so he allowed him to borrow silver. Speaking of it, it is also the emperor's grace, and he will also kneel and knock. And as soon as the silver is spent, it is gone, how can you earn more as an official?

She has been making up for the emperor's money before, and she is a big fool to lend so much silver, and now she is very smart when she looks at others. Besides, the money has been lent out, and sooner or later it will have to be repaid.

Immersed in the deep sigh of the emperor's city, she forgot the original intention of persuading the fourth master to be forgiving and forgiving.

After the fourth master went to the household department again, I heard that the methods were becoming more and more stringent.

Of course, more and more people scolded him. But at the same time, there are more and more filial piety gifts sent to the house. In May, Bing Jing from all over the country has been sent to the mansion, and every day the mansion has to allocate special people to receive gifts. Zhang Bao also vacated two courtyards as warehouses just to put gifts.

The front yard was so busy that people were turning over their horses, but the fourth master was not in the house, so Zhang Bao sorted it out and sent the gift list to Fujin and Li Wei. One for each of the two of them.

Although it is a sorted gift list, I can't see what is given every day, but I can estimate the total price and divide it by the number of days, and I can also have a rough impression.

From the beginning of May to the middle of May, you can receive about 120,000 silver gifts every day. In just over half a month, he collected four or five hundred thousand taels.

Although it is not real silver, most of them are estimated prices, such as ancient paintings and ancient characters, in addition to antiques, there are also those sent to the grange, the house, and some are given away (called Zhang Bao to block). Of course, there are also those who send money directly.

What Li Wei couldn't figure out was, if there was silver, why didn't he owe the silver? Do you have to give it as a gift?

Probably owed too much? It's okay to give a gift of 15,000, but it's not enough to pay back the silver.

The official doesn't give gifts, so the fourth master is not as iron-faced and selfless as she imagined, and rejects all the gifts. He took it as it was, but he didn't hear of anyone outside.

At the end of May, the emperor did not return. I heard that I went directly to Saiwai to escape the summer, and it was as hot as dog days in Beijing. The fourth master is still in the household department, and he has been living in the household department for almost a year. Li Wei took advantage of his return to say that he wanted to go to Zhuangzi to live, but he didn't take the opportunity to say that he would be gone for more than half a month.

"Why don't you go to the Old Summer Palace? Ask someone to take you and the children into the garden. He said.

She immediately held the tea and pinched his shoulders diligently, making him laugh. She said embarrassedly: "I also want to live in the Old Summer Palace again, that is...... I'm afraid it's not ......."

Without him, she didn't dare to live there. Probably it was given by the emperor to make her have a sense of awe?

"What's wrong with this? Our own garden. If you want to go, tomorrow I will have someone lead you. The fourth master put down the tea and pulled her from behind to say.

Li Wei didn't want it, and said, "You're at home tomorrow, and you're finally coming back." When you go to the household again, I'll take the children with me. ”

The fourth master told her to say this in a very good mood, and said: "That's okay, first ask someone to clean up the place, so that you don't have to live over there." ”

So, the next day, he asked someone to lead Zhao Quanbao and others to the Old Summer Palace first. In short, the garden should be made as if it were at home, and the subordinates and rules should be re-taught. lest the self-sustaining over there be rewarded by the emperor and disobey discipline.

The eunuch who took Zhao Quanbao to the Old Summer Palace had a special name: Zhang Qilin.

When Zhao Quanbao came back to say it, she felt that this name was catchy and very pleasant. Zhao Quanbao also praised his brother Zhang to the sky, saying that he was very kind and good-looking, five or six years younger than Su Peisheng.

"Call the slave to see, I'm afraid that this person will take Su Peisheng's job in the future." Zhao Quanbao said.

"Impossible, right?" Li Wei said with a smile, the name Zhang Qilin is not a famous eunuch. She wasn't even impressed. The master and servant don't have to worry too much about speaking in private, and from Zhao Quanbao's mouth, she at least remembers that there is a useful eunuch next to the fourth master.

After the fourth master left, she took the children to the Old Summer Palace. Honghui and Hongyu both stayed in the house, saying that they couldn't lose their homework. They went into the garden to play, and Mr. Dai, who taught them homework, couldn't get in. Hongyun also said the same thing, and was suppressed by his mother.

He didn't go, and when Hiroshi saw that his three brothers didn't go, he didn't go.

Zuihou took her two sons and three girls to the Old Summer Palace. As soon as they arrived in the garden, Hongyun and Hongshi, who were originally unhappy, were crazy. Li Wei is also happy, she got rid of the cage in the house, there is no Fujin and no fourth master here, she is the boss.

So she asked someone to circle a place by the lake and take a few children to learn to swim.

She really wanted to swim for years......

There is also a lotus pond in the house, and when she was a little Gege, she was still looking forward to swimming in the house one day. But since then, this wish has never been fulfilled. The main reason is that she cares about Fujin, she didn't have that identity when she was Xiao Gege, and she had to pay attention to her face when she was Fujin.

There aren't so many rules in the garden!

She had a lot of floating boards as wide as the door panels made, polished and painted around them, and put handles around them, and threw them into the water for the children to grab, and then parked a boat around. The boat is full of Zhao Quanbao and others who have been waiting for her for many years.

She was wearing long-sleeved trousers, except for no socks, and her whole body was covered at all. She felt that this should be fine.

But on this day, she was fluttering in the lake with the children, and when she looked up, she saw the fourth master standing by the lake.

The breeze blew through the corners of his robe, and although he couldn't see his expression clearly, he was too far away, but ...... You shouldn't be too happy, right?

Su Peisheng asked someone to swing a small boat over, and he got on the boat and went to the center of the lake.

She hurriedly told the children to get on the boat first, and after pushing them all up, his boat also came over, and the people on the boat knelt down, and she saw him getting closer and closer, and a fierce man dived under the water, swam to the other side of the boat, and wanted to get on the boat from this side.

As soon as she emerged from the water, the jade bottle on the boat lowered the rope ladder and stretched out her hand to pull her: "Master, hurry up and ......" Before the words fell, she knelt down like a candle.

The water behind her was so rippling that she didn't even dare to turn her head back.

After a while, he said behind him: "Don't come yet?" ”

She looked back timidly, but his expression was calm, and he still held a thin cloak in his hand.

She swam over, and the rowing eunuch turned his back, and she climbed into the boat, and he first put her cloak over her, and then bent down and carried her out of the water.

When a person comes out of the water, he will suddenly become heavier, but he still holds it easily. The hem of the cloak soaked into the lake, and the sound of falling water hit the bottom of the boat.

She shrunk into his arms, really a little afraid that he would be angry, and whispered, "Master......"

He patted her gently, looked down at her and smiled, and said softly, "Go back and scold you again." ”

Not angry! Banzai!

Returning to the natural picture of her and her children's temporary residence, Su Peisheng had already asked someone to prepare hot water. He carried her all the way back, and all the people waiting avoided her, and the people in the room knelt down early, their foreheads pressed against the ground.

Soaking in the bucket, I couldn't see anything clearly in the room under the steam. He sat outside through a screen, and she did as he said for a quarter of an hour before she got up, and then called the maid in and waited for her to wash her hair.

After washing and changing clothes, she went directly to the couch and leaned into his arms, and only then did she dare to whisper: "Master, are you angry?" ”

"Hmm." He touched her whitewashed little face, hated it so much that he wanted to fight, but he was reluctant to do it, he was really a grinding person.

After a long time, he asked her softly: "Why don't you tell your master if you want to swim?" The lake is so deep, you dare to jump down. ”

"Why don't you have anything for you when you know how to prepare planks for the children?"

"I thought you had fallen into the water, but I asked before I knew that you were swimming." He let out a sigh.

She fell into his arms and did not dare to speak.

The fourth master was just tired from working in the household department, and remembered that they were in the Old Summer Palace, so he came to see them. As a result, I came to ask and found out that I had been at the lake for the past few days, and when I arrived at the lake, I saw a bunch of human heads floating and sinking in the lake.

It was a whirlwind.

Fortunately, he thought to himself that there would be no such thing, and if something happened to them, there would be chaos in this garden. If you look closely, there are several wooden planks the size of a door panel floating in the water, and you can still hear their laughter in the wind. He realized that it was a false alarm.

Come up and teach her a hard lesson!

But when she finished bathing, his anger disappeared, and he began to want to build a pool somewhere in the house or Zhuangzi for her to play. The Old Summer Palace was rewarded by the emperor and could not be rebuilt.

lived in the garden for a long time, played with the children, and asked Hongyun and Hongshi about their homework, so that the children who thought he was angry and uneasy were relieved, especially Da Gege, she wanted to take Ergege to kneel in front of Li Wei's house before, begging the fourth master for forgiveness, but was held down by Ergege.

"Things haven't come to this point yet, and we'll go again when we need to plead guilty." Ergege usually has no problem getting along with Da Gege, but when it comes to the fourth master and Fujin, the differences between the two are always very big.

Ergege said politely: "Big sister, that's our Amma, don't be so light on your knees, okay?" ”

said Da Gege with tears in her eyes, and when Er Gege saw that the words were serious, she was just not angry for a while, and hurriedly went up to daoqian. Da Gege felt a lot of grievances in his heart, turned his back and wiped his tears and said, "Are you born like this when I am?" Who doesn't want to be a man with their heads held high? You're doing well, don't think I'm weak on my knees. ”

Regarding the matter between Fu Jin and Li Wei, it is an eternal topic between the two of them.

Da Gege took it lightly, and Ergege didn't want to have another dispute, so he said for a long time: "Big sister, say a thousand things and ten thousand, let's always stand up first." You have stood up, how many people can hold you down? We've counted them on one hand, right? You yourself knelt down first, you are used to kneeling, others are used to it, who remembers to tell you to stand? You can't always point to others to respect you, but you forget about it, right? ”

Da Gege was speechless for a while, and the two could only look at each other for a long time. The two Zuihou sisters ignore this verse together.

When the fourth master came out, Da Gege found that Ama was really not angry, and Ergege's words churned violently in her heart.

rested in the garden for the night, and the next day the fourth master was going to the household department again. Before leaving, he said two things to her.

"The master will dig a pond for you on the Zhuangzi, and you will go there to swim if you want to. Besides, the master asked Zhang Qilin to come over and wait, and with him watching, I thought there would be no more accidents. Save a garden full of your people, and no one can stop you. Speaking of this, the fourth master smiled and nodded at her twice.

It is said that Su Su usually indulges a few minions very much, but it is by no means that she is held by the minions, as long as she wants to do it, several minions have nothing to say, even if she knows that it is a death, there is no yang and yin disobedience, and it is discounted behind her back.

It's not enough to ask him to disobey.

After he left, Li Wei hurriedly called someone to ask Zhao Quanbao a few, and he hadn't seen them since yesterday. I heard that the fourth master was really angry, Zhao Quanbao took the lead in leading twenty boards, and the rest did not fall, and even the jade bottle also rewarded twenty hand boards, which was still used in front of Master Li, and she didn't dare to be ruthless.

Zhang Qilin had already arrived, and when he saw that she was worried, he said: "Master, don't worry, everyone below has a number, and I don't dare to make a heavy hand." The master also asked someone to give medicine, and they all took care of it. Wait a few days, and the girl will be able to come back and wait. ”

Although Li Wei knew it in her heart, she didn't expect to call the fourth master to hit it. If she can be allowed to be empty, at least she will have time to take responsibility.

Zhao Quanbao was really wronged by this board.

"Let them take care of it, this time it's mine, let them be wronged. One person who turned back was rewarded with ten taels of silver. She said, holding her head.

Zhang Qilin responded, but said with a smile: "Call the slave to say, what is wrong with the master?" It is a blessing for the slaves to be loyal to their masters, and this beating is also sweet in their hearts. ”

"It's just pretty words." Li Wei smiled, she didn't know much about this Zhang Qilin's character, thinking that he was sent by the fourth master, and probably wanted to be reused, maybe her words could be sent to the fourth master's ears, so she said a few more words.

"It's my fault, and I don't lose anything by admitting it. Can't I, the master, still hide my ears and steal the bell, right? "It's true that if you don't think it through, you can get everyone around you to suffer. It's the same whether you admit it or not.

What others think in their hearts, she can't control or see. She doesn't intend to be a saint, she is not afraid of making mistakes, she is only afraid of making mistakes and does not admit them. If you can eat a trench and grow wise, this mistake is not in vain.

…… Next time, when you want to do something behind his back, you must be thoughtful!
