Zhou Peigong has been promoted by the emperor to be a member of the imperial court, and the distance between him and the prince is close, but the prince's strict prohibition of befriending the minister is another constraint, and he does not dare to rashly go to the Ruiwang Mansion to meet Mr. Chen. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info made a detour and told the emperor that he wanted to see his daughter.

Kangxi pointed at Zhou Peigong: "The Senate general and I have been talking around the bend, just say that you want to meet your in-laws." You and my imperial uncle are sons and daughters, can you be counted among the princes and courtiers? It seems that you haven't been to Ruiwang's Mansion since your daughter got married, right? Well, let's go together, how about it? These days, I just let Wu Sangui, an old horseman, make all kinds of trouble, and how many delicacies have been missed. Go now! Come on, set up the Rui Wangfu! ”

General Tuhai said: "Your Majesty, how can you forget about the last general? The last general will definitely go with you to taste the food you are talking about. ”

"Okay, go together, go together."

The emperor is coming, Zhou Peigong is a family member, and he is also a distinguished guest when he comes to the house, so the prince and the prince Xuan naturally have to be entertained and served carefully. But what does General Tuhai mean when he comes to the house?

The emperor said, "Uncle Huang, there must be new dishes in your house, right?" The new ice fruit is also baked, right?

Xuan'er said: "The ice fruit is taken out of the ice cellar, and if it is put in the stove, it may come out of the tiger skin cake." ”

One sentence made the emperor laugh back and forth: "The class gate has an axe." Why don't you see sir? ”

"Father-in-law Fuzi hurried to invite Master Chen." The prince gave an order, and the eunuch Xiaofuzi ran to the back house at a speed of 100 meters. Under normal circumstances, the gentleman does not attend the occasion when the prince entertains guests. It's not that the prince doesn't allow him to participate, it's that he doesn't want to participate, so he thinks that that kind of occasion is a social, since it is a social, he will inevitably say something against his will, praise others or simply lie. But the prince is invited, and he can't be lazy. changed into a more decent dress and followed Fuzi's father-in-law.

After greeting the emperor, he greeted the prince, and then the emperor introduced Tuhai and Zhou Peigong to Mr. Chen: "I don't know if Mr. has ever seen these two generals?" ”

"I've never met. The emperor said that there were two generals in front of Weichen? This tall man is the image of a general, and this bookish man is also a general? "The gentleman's attitude is respectful and not humble or arrogant, humble and courteous and honest.

"This is General Tuhai of the Zhenghuang Banner Capital."

"I have admired it for a long time, General Tuhai is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, like thunder. So this is ......"

"This is Zhou Peigong, the senator general who persuaded the Shaanxi and Gansu Governors to surrender to Wang Fuchen, and the father of Zhou Xinyao in the side room of Prince Xuan."

"Oh, big hero, I have long heard the prince say that General Zhou has entered the Admiral and is facing the Daoshan Oil Pot, such courage and courage are comparable to extraordinary people. Chen admires it so much! ”

"Sir is overrated, overrated! If Zhou hadn't had a brave person by his side, he would have become a fritter in the oil pot of the king of Pingliang City. ”

"What do you mean by the man of the brave......

"It's the benevolence and righteousness forehead in the house, just when Zhou was picked up by Admiral Wang's soldiers and walked to the oil pot, a black belt flew out of the arms of the benevolent and righteous forehead who went to the admiral with Zhou, and suddenly it turned into a black dragon, grabbed the unsuspecting Wu Sangui strategist Wang Sirong and threw it into the oil pot, and there was no movement after a few screams. Such a feat naturally shocked Wang Fuchen, and he said, there is no reason to be invincible with such a person in the Holy Saint today? Then he knelt down and returned to the Qing Dynasty. ”

The prince said puzzledly: "Bing'er didn't say that he met General Zhou, let alone help General Zhou. ”

Zhou Peigong was even more shocked: "Such a great merit of benevolence and righteousness was not mentioned to my father-in-law!" I don't know how to show off. ”

"Seated, seated". The prince did not mention Bing'er's merits again, but warmly entertained every distinguished guest.

"Uncle Huang, you must be very curious why your nephew wants your husband to accompany you? It was General Zhou who specially asked me to meet Mr. Chen. You also know that they are all academics, and I have never wanted anyone to know the name of my husband, and I am afraid that someone will pry it away. He laughed.

"It turns out that the emperor wants the two great Confucians to become good friends." Tu Hai was a little jealous: "Mr. and General Zhou are both great Confucians, is Tu a little Confucian?" Anyway, there is a bachelor's hat buttoned on his head. No, if you want to be alone, leave me behind, I won't follow! ”

Everyone is going to laugh. This well-known general of the Qing Dynasty actually had to squeeze into the ranks of Confucianism, isn't it funny? But people do have the title of university scholar.

Mr. Chen said: "General Tu's words make Chen embarrassed, you and General Zhou are the right-hand men of the saint, and Chen doesn't know anything about military affairs." ”

"You're not uninformed, you're not interested. What's so good about fighting? The confrontation between the two armies is the beginning of your life and death, and it is really not a happy thing to have blood and corpses everywhere. Let's just say that Mr. Chen, although he has never met, but Tu knows that Mr. Chen's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, gold and stone appreciation, crops and mulberry are all understood, from astronomy to geography, all of them are known. ”

"The general has an overreputation, and the lower official is just because he has been the magistrate of Zunhua for a few years in this special county, and he has to know a little bit about the needs of the people, where is there any astronomy and geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting skills."

"Don't be modest, you guys, with me there to testify, why don't you just be friends? I will not say that you have lived a very close life. "Everyone here is in favor. So the three of them bowed a few times in front of the statue of Guan Gong in the palace of the prince, not saying that Taoyuan was three righteous people, and the relationship was much closer than ordinary friends.

Several people at the banquet didn't drink much, and the sea and the sky chatted violently. The emperor is happy, Wang Fuchen has returned to the imperial court, and the two vassal kings of Guangdong and Guangxi have also been submissive, leaving Wu Sangui, a grasshopper, jumping alone, and he can't support it. Looking at the matter of withdrawing the feudal domain, success is in sight, how can Kangxi's heart not be excited?

After chatting for a while, the emperor went back to the palace to deal with government affairs, and Tuhai also retired. Zhou Peigong had asked the emperor in advance to see his daughter. Mr. also took the opportunity to retire, and the prince personally sent Zhou Peigong to Zhou Xinyao's residence "Wenzhu Pavilion", and then went to Feiyun Tower.

Zhou Xinyao naturally didn't know that her father had come to the house, and she was still making patchwork in her room. Li Ling'er also came here to chat with Zhou Xinyao, Li Ling'er and Zhou Xinyao were pregnant almost at the same time, their abdomen was already bulging, and it looked like they had been five or six months.

I thought that when two talented women met together, I was afraid that they would compete for your superiority and my inferiority, who knew that a cloth would turn them into the same pair of girlfriends. When Zhou Peigong went upstairs accompanied by the eunuch in charge of the courtyard, Zhou Xinyao didn't know it. The eunuch Pan Gonggong was afraid of scaring the two side Fujin, so he tried his best to lower his voice and spread at the door: "Senator General Zhou has arrived!" ”

"Daddy!" Zhou Xinyao threw down the work in her hand and pounced.

"Xin'er be careful!" Li Ling'er suddenly helped Zhou Xinyao.

"The last general will say hello to the two Fujin!" No matter how high Zhou Peigong's official position is, he has to ask the royal daughter-in-law for peace. But you don't have to kneel, just clasp your hands into fists.

"Dad, what are you doing, you have tormented your daughter."

Li Ling'er gave Zhou Peigong a blessing and said to Zhou Xinyao: "My sister talks to Lord Zhou, and Ling'er retires." ”

"Li Fujin walks slowly."

"Daddy! How did you get here? ”

"Can't you see what you do? When the body sinks, you must pay attention not to bump it, and give birth to a fat grandson to your father when the time comes. ”

"Daddy, you drink tea. Xin'er has always felt that she is still a girl. ”

"Girls are girls, girls will hurt. If you can give birth to a girl, you can give birth to a boy, isn't your mother the gentleman's you, and then give birth to your brother? Don't be deliberate, you know? It is good that people are safe. The conditions in the house will not be bad, you can rest assured. What are you guys doing here? You don't read anymore? ”

"Dad, Xin'er is learning to make cloth art in Hetian Fujin, don't look at these small pieces of cloth, if they are sewn together in a certain way, they are a work of art. After doing it, after passing the inspection of Tong Fujin's grandmother, she took it to the business house to sell, and the money was divided proportionally, and Xin'er had already got more than 100 taels of silver. I want to make up more, and then give it to my mother when I go home, and let my mother keep it for my brother to marry his daughter-in-law. ”

"Child, Daddy doesn't need your money. Now that my father has more money, keep your hard-earned money for your own use. ”

"Dad, how difficult it is for you and your mother to fight for Xin'er's dowry, Xin'er knows. Xin'er is pampered in the house, but you are tightening your clothes and food, and Xin'er feels very uncomfortable. ”

"It's all gone, it's gone. In the future, my father will do his best to be loyal to the emperor, and the life of the family will improve. You're here to be good better than anything else. It seems that your complexion is not bad, and this is also your blessing. Although it is several women and a husband, Lord Xuan is also good to you. Just settle down here, treat this place as your home, be filial to your in-laws, serve your husband, and teach your children. ”

"Don't worry, Xin'er won't mess with anyone. Xin'er was a little arrogant before, and she really regarded herself as a talented woman. But after a few years, I saw that the talented women in the house were handful. It's not that she can recite a few lines of Tang poetry to be a talented woman. Do you know that even the little maids around the two elders Fu Jin are talented girls! All of them have unique skills, and the fabrics and weavings they make will be robbed when they arrive at the commercial houses in the house! ”

The smile on Zhou Xinyao's face couldn't be hidden, and she kept telling her father how the women in the house lived and learned art.

"Did you know? In Xin'er's eyes, Chen Fujin is a god! I don't know how many skills she learned from the country where she traveled, and she began to teach them in April of the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, and she hasn't finished passing them on yet! Most of these skills are cloth art, that is, delicate things made of fabric, as well as weaving, beads, jewelry, and so on. I heard that Wang Xuan said that a piece of jade stone from his grandfather was exchanged for the expenses of his parents and the three of them for a year, and what bronzes and the like, which are the antiques that we said in the Qing Dynasty, and the things exchanged in that foreign land have not been used up for more than ten years......"

"Girl, slow down, drink saliva, it's the same as popping beans, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Dad, not only Xin'er, but several sisters who entered the house together were interested in the affairs of the house, but no one dared to ask. Do you know the Grand Theatre in Beijing? That place is literally the center of the capital. Wealthy people go there for pastime at night, and Peking Opera, Henan Opera, Yue Opera, Huangmei Opera, as well as songs, dances, storytelling, cross talk, jokes, and circuses are performed in different forms. The two princes also brought these entertainments back to the mansion to show the people in the mansion. Later, we learned that these good-looking and good-sounding things were also brought back by Chen Fujin. Not only does she have a crisp voice, but she can also put on costumes to perform. Once the prince of Ama celebrated his birthday, the two mothers Fujin put on costumes and performed an excerpt play, and the Yue opera was sent off for eighteen miles. It's so good-looking! It's still sung with the accent of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The theater stage in the capital is simply hot. If you buy a ticket to enter the venue, you need to line up in advance! ”

"Rest, rest, aren't you tired of talking so much in one breath?"

"Xin'er told you this to let you go back to learn from your mother, and your mother won't worry about Xin'er."

"Your mother doesn't know how to sing at all, she just cares about whether the relationship between you and Prince Xuan is good."

"What's not good, in fact, Lord Xuan is so busy hitting the back of his head now, settling accounts in several shops all day long, in his words, he doesn't have the time to be slimy with us."

The tea in Zhou Peigong's mouth almost squirted out, this is too direct, right? It seems that this Xuan Wang Ye is really not the kind of person who lingers and compassionates. Yes, there are hundreds of big businesses, how can Mr. Tian be busy alone?

"Lord Xuan has been interested in numbers since he was a child, so he must be able to manage these businesses with ease, right?"

"The people in the house said that as long as Lord Xuan appeared, the number of customers in that business would immediately increase several times. In fact, Prince Xuan is not only interested in numbers, but also in the management of shops, as well as the gardening, vegetables, medicinal materials, flowers, beekeeping, and fruit trees of Prince Amma. And his paintings are super beautiful. ”

"Oh? Can Xuan Wang Ye also paint? ”

"His paintings were still learned from Chen Fujin when he was a child, and his basic skills are very deep and firm, but he doesn't have much time to paint now, by the way, he also painted two pictures here with Xin'er a few days ago, and Xin'er will show you."

Zhou Peigong was looking forward to the painting painted by Xuan Wangye, but he didn't expect that this "god prince" still likes ink and blue.

Zhou Xinyao brought two unframed painting hearts: "This is given to Xin'er by Lord Xuan." ”

"Oh my God, how is it like the real thing?" Zhou Peigong is a talented person, and even more a person who loves talents, his eyes widened when he saw the two four-foot paintings in his hand, and he said to himself: "How did you draw this?" The tiger's fur is literally draped, and the horse's running posture seems to be able to hear the sound of the horse's hooves, vivid! Xin'er, you have to thank the emperor for marrying you to Prince Xuan! Without him doing business, this painting alone would be enough to feed a hundred and eighty people. Oh, it's not early, Dad has to go back. I didn't see my granddaughter, next time. Seeing that you are so happy, your father will be relieved, and your mother will be relieved. ”

Donate to the imperial court, what do you want to repay, just be so calm! Did you know? The things they brought back didn't seem to be valuable, but they were all things that the Qing Dynasty didn't have, and they were rare and expensive, and they were slowly noticed. Later, the old thief tried his best to get these things, and by going to the palace to confiscate the goblins, inciting the soldiers to enter the palace to burn, kill, and rob, and even put all the red-clothed cannons in front of the gate of the palace. said that he detained the emperor and the empress dowager, and asked the prince and his son to replace the emperor and the empress dowager. ”

"And so many thrilling things?" Zhou Peigong was shocked, and at the same time, he was also impressed by Mr. Chen and the prince's high spirits, and thought that he must meet the Mr. Chen that he said! The rumors about Lord Rui were first discussed in the streets, and then the emperor himself told him, but now that Bing'er said it was true, he really believed it. He believed in Bing'er's character and life-saving grace.
