The fourth master's bad mood has continued, but because this time it didn't reach the point of beating the eunuch board to vent his anger, at most, he had a gloomy face for several days. You can either search for pro () or search, oh pro () or search for it

In the evening, the two dined together, and the people waiting for Yuyan didn't even dare to breathe, and only the sound of spoons and bowls colliding was heard in the room.

She saw him eating slowly with a calm face, and she really felt that this was not only torturing outsiders, but even he himself would suffer from indigestion because of this. So after dinner, without waiting for him to go to the book to read the book, he grabbed him and said, "The portrait drawn by the two of us last time was sent, do you want to take a look?" ”

The fourth master listened and said, "Then let's take a look." ”

He didn't care, he just gave her face.

Li Wei took him to the study in the West Wing, where two Western-style portraits, one large and one small, hung abruptly on the wall of the Chinese-style classical study.

One is that she is wearing a wedding dress with the fourth master, and the two are very funny when they stand together, and below is Momofuku and Zaohua squatting at the feet of the two of them like flower girls.

Another smaller one is that the fourth master is squatting there to tease Baifu and creation, not only the puppy is vividly drawn, but the most important thing is that the fourth master is a smiling face in this painting, and he also laughs out of his teeth.

This was Li Wei's strong request, so that the French missionaries dared to paint like this. Otherwise, he would never dare to send such a toothy portrait.

Whether it was the Qing Dynasty or the Western Ocean at this time, there was no toothless portrait painting, and everyone was a silent face. Even if you don't look at the audience, your eyes float up and down to left and right, and there will be no daxiao if you smile.

It's the same in China, it seems that the portrait should be painted to be positive, it must be frontal, even if it is the side face, the face must be twisted, and it seems that the face is right, that is, the heart is right.

So this painting of the fourth master lowered his head, focused on touching the belly of Baifu, and smiled happily, not to mention that there is no one who will come after him, and it is certain that there are no ancients before.

He was the first in the emperor's book.

And the center of the painting is not the fourth master, but the fourth master and Momofuku.

Therefore, according to the eunuch who was waiting, Bruce said that he was almost frightened, and said in the middle of the night that he was so frightened that he couldn't sleep, and asked the eunuch for good wine. Then he said to the eunuch that although I was scared, out of loyalty to the imperial concubine, even if I was asked to smash my head and paint it on the ground, I would finish the painting.

Li Wei wanted to say: Thinking too much.

Of course, it's a bit risky to draw this, after all, it's really 'disrespectful'. But the fourth master will never kill him because of this. Besides, it was painted at her request, and if something really happened to the painting, she couldn't have thrown the painter out to leave her alone.

She was very sure that the fourth master would like this painting. He may look more serious upwards, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes. But in private, he is a person who prefers freedom and is more tolerant.

The fourth master really didn't expect that the scene he was playing with Baifu at that time would be painted by the painter, and he seemed unfamiliar with the painting, so his first thought was that this painting could not be seen by others.

But at the same time, he was so attracted that he couldn't take his eyes off it. He never thought that in the eyes of others, he would be like this.

He has always hoped to be like the first emperor and treat his courtiers with equal importance and power. The courtiers feared his thunderous wrath and died for the love and forgiveness of the emperor.

But the more time passed, the more he realized the gap between him and the first emperor.

He longs to be loved by his courtiers, but he is annoyed by their ignorance and fails to live up to his kindness.

He wanted them to understand that if they were loyal to him, he would be able to repay the loyalty of his courtiers, and that he wouldn't even mind breaking some conventions for the sake of his loyal courtiers. But if he dares to act boldly by his favor, he will never be lenient!

The fourth master looked at it for a long time, and finally said with a smile: "This painting is good, it is placed here, and I can often come and see it when I come back." ”

In the next few days, the fourth master did often go to see the painting. She said she wanted to send it to the Qinzheng Palace?

He shook his head: "Forget it, take the more people you saw in the past and cause trouble." Just put it here, and I can see it. ”

Li Wei said that Bruce painted this painting so scared that he couldn't sleep at night, and the fourth master smiled when he heard it: "I think he is just greedy for wine." I heard that most of the foreigners were drunkards, and there was a lot of fine wine in the Qing Dynasty, and I was afraid that they would drink too much and make mistakes, so I ordered the eunuchs not to give them too much wine early in the morning. ”

Because this painting did enter the eyes of the fourth master, he later let people reward Bruce with twenty taels of silver and two urns of century-old Yuquan wine. The next day, I heard that Bruce got drunk and went to the lake, but the ninth master, who came to the garden to greet the fourth master, seemed to be fished up.

The ninth master stood in front of the fourth master drenched, and knelt down very embarrassedly and said: "Brother Chen's loss of honor, long live forgiveness." ”

The fourth master knew it as early as when the ninth master jumped into the lake, and he didn't care about saying anything at this time, so he said to Zhang Qilin: "Go and bring my clothes to your ninth master to change into." Then he said to the ninth master, "It's cold now, and I will sweat after drinking the ginger soup for a while, so I won't have to get sick again." ”

The ninth master asked people to take it aside to change into long-lived clothes, and flattered to come out and pour a big bowl of ginger soup in front of the fourth master, and after a while, he sweated painfully.

In the past few days, he often runs to the fourth master to brush up on his sense of existence, just because he is afraid that his county king, who has not yet arrived, will fly again.

The fourth master also understands, so although the ninth master doesn't have any, he comes over the next day to ask for a second suspicion, he doesn't pick people up, and sometimes he can keep him for a meal.

It's just that the ninth master jumped into the lake today, and the fourth master didn't keep him much, and even the imperial doctor threw the ninth master out, and comforted him: "Take care of yourself in the house these days, and then come over to see me on the Wanshou Festival." ”

After the fourth master finished speaking, he smiled, shook his head and said: "You were an anxious person before, but this time when you saw someone falling into the water, you jumped down by yourself without shouting at someone." ”

Jiu Ye really felt that it was no longer right to jump into the lake today, and he had to explain: "The younger brother looked at that person as if he was waiting in the garden, and he was also a little familiar, so he walked like a fool and fell into the lake." ”

The main reason is that Bruce's performance is too bad. When he first stood by the lake with a yellow hair, the ninth master still thought that this was a foreigner enjoying the lake scenery. He knew that there were several Western painters in the garden, and he thought that this was one of them. As a result, Bruce lifted his leg and walked forward, one, two, three, and fell into the lake.

The ninth master was dumbfounded, and ran to the lake with the little dog to see the foreigner walking in the lake like a turn.

The little dog said hurriedly: "Master! I'm going to call someone! ”

However, the garden is not full of people like the palace, like the guards are guarding the periphery of the garden, and the garden is mostly eunuchs and palace maids. Who knows when the puppy will find someone?

Seeing that this foreigner was about to run bottomless, the ninth master took off his boots and jumped down, only to hear the little dog shouting behind him: "My grandfather!!! ”

It was also thanks to the sound of the puppy, when the ninth master caught Bruce, he had already jumped down from the lake, and two small boats approached in the distance.

The fourth master smiled and said: "That Bruce is good wine, the day before yesterday because of his good painting, I let people reward him with two urns of jade springs." ”

The ninth master knew that he was drunk.

It's nothing to save a drunk, it's worth showing your face in front of Banzai!

The ninth master returned home full of contentment, and excitedly called the tenth master to share the joy, the two brothers drank and talked until the middle of the night, and the next day, the ninth master had a cold and cough.

The fourth master asked the imperial doctor in the garden, and the ninth master had a trip to the lake, if there was a problem? When the Taiyi Dao returned home, he was very haode, and then the tenth master came to see the ninth master, and the two sat in the room with the window open and drank until the third watch, and the next day he went again, the ninth master was already lying on the bed and couldn't get up.

The fourth master had no choice but to cry and laugh and let the imperial doctor give the ninth master a good life.

He went back and told Li Wei that she would ask if Bruce was sick? She said that Bruce was not sick, quite haode.

"Foreigners are tall and big, and their bodies are sturdy." The fourth master smiled, "Lao Jiu has now laid down in order to save him." ”

Li Wei felt that the ninth master was quite pitiful, and she didn't expect that he could go into the water to save people in person.

After talking about the ninth master, the fourth master took out a letter and showed it to her.

The letter has been opened, and at first glance it is addressed to the fourth master. But when she was asked to see it, she took it out, and when she saw it, she realized that it was written by Li Wenbi.

The Taoist minister above is old, and the governor of Zhili is an important position, and the minister is deaf and dazzled, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble to Banzai by sitting in this position again, so he wants to retire.

Li Wei's eyes lit up as soon as she saw it, this fourth master had already told her, and hurriedly asked, "I'm going back?" ”

Seeing that she was so happy, the fourth master did not look reluctant at all, and his heart was warm, so he explained in a soft voice: "Soon, I plan to let your father come back this Halloween, and he will be promoted to the title of knight during the New Year, and the new governor will take office next year." ”

Li Wenbi is almost seventy years old, and he should have sat at home at this age to enjoy Qingfu.

Li Wei is sometimes afraid that Li Wenbi will be tired and sick in office, then she will be the big sinner of the Li family.

The fourth master explained a lot: "Your father's begging fold has been handed over three times, and this time I can approve him." ”

understands, this means that the fourth master doesn't want Li Wenbi to retire so he keeps it again and again. Li Wenbi is dedicated to the public and has no attachment to power.

"I want to give your father a first-class duke this time, and the house has been found by Hongyu."

Li Wei: =mouth=

First class male? What does first class mean?

The fourth master saw that she rarely showed such a stupid look, touched her head and said, "Don't worry, your father's first-class duke is what he deserves, and no one in the capital will dare to gossip." ”

Then he talked about Li Wenbi's exploits, not to mention that he had traveled to and from place for many years, and there had never been a major case in the local government during his tenure, which showed that he had managed well.

There is also that academy and Qingyun Tier, which won the hearts of Shandong students for him. That's a great thing!

zuihou, the governor of Zhili was withdrawn in the eighth master of Kangxi, and Li Wenbi was the first. He made a good start, and the fourth master could install his own people in the throat of Zhili.

After saying that, he actually laughed and said the truth: "Now that the filial piety queen has just gone, I have removed your father from the post to show that this is my way of balancing." At this time, if you reward your father with a first-class prince, they will take it for granted. ”

Using a fictitious title in exchange for real power, people in Beijing will feel that this is a bright promotion and a secret depreciation.

In this way, due to the death of the filial piety queen, she was promoted to the imperial concubine, and the strength of the two sides fell and rose again.

Li Wei is in favor of Li Wenbi's retirement, and she doesn't think it's a bright promotion or a secret depreciation. Li Wenbi could not sit on the governor of Zhili for the rest of his life, and it was right to retire at the right time.

The fourth master is willing to explain so much to her, it is enough.

She shook his hand and shook it.

The fourth master smiled, and said with a little tiredness and heaviness: "...... I'm going to let Honghui leave the palace and open the mansion. ”

This is the first time Li Wei has heard him speak.

He sighed: "It's too early or too late." ”

It's good to let Honghui get used to it earlier. Keeping him in the palace any longer would have hurt him.
