Qianlong hurriedly picked up the curtain and said to Wang Shi who was guarding the door: "The tables, chairs, and coffee tables are all dusty, go in and clean them - come out and lock the door......" and hurriedly rushed to the main hall, already changing his smiling face. To the west corner, a palace maid also looked left and right to step over, just the two of them bumped into each other, Qianlong saw that it was Lai Niang, wanted to laugh, and held back, and said: "You stepped on my foot!" ”

"Master, it's not good to be a slave!"

Lai Niang had already seen that it was Qianlong, she was ashamed, ashamed and a little afraid, so she knelt down to apologize, and said in a low voice: "It was Lafayette who called Xun Long Live Lord to go over." The slave and maid were anxious...... "Qianlong looked at her carefully, only to see that she was wearing a silver-red gauze gown, green and plum blossom trimmed pants, a thick green silk combed to the eye, the braids dragged straight to the ground, blushing to avoid his gaze, muttering in his mouth, but he couldn't hear what was said.

"It's a slim cherry! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... "Qianlong saw her delicate and shy face, faint cheeks, new summer clothes, revealing a greasy white jade, the bulging chest trembled slightly with panting, couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, squatted down, his fingers caressed a large scar on the little finger under her right forehead, and said with a smile: "Did I step on your toes, does it hurt?" I saw this scar when you entered the palace, and it was beaten by the old Qingtai family? Hidden in her hair, she can barely see it......" When he put down his hand, he touched her chest intentionally or unintentionally, and retracted his hand like an electric shock.

Lai Niang felt even more embarrassed, and she was even more nervous when she faced the emperor like this. But the emperor can't help but answer questions, this is the "rule" that Tang'er repeatedly advised, she only deflected her face, glutinous rice bit her lower lip with thin teeth, and fine sweat was oozing from her sideburns, and said in a timid voice: "It's a slave who is not old, and the master didn't step on me......" Qianlong was already half of the crisp, and reached out to touch her soft breasts, and just said: "It's me immortal-" Listening to the footsteps behind him, he knew that it was Wang Yan and others coming, so he raised his throat slightly and said: "Since it hurts to step on it, get up and wait for the messenger!" Then he stroked her hair, said "silly girl", and walked calmly to the main hall. Lai Niang's heart was beating suddenly, her whole body was paralyzed, her heart was blank, and she knelt like wood for a moment before she broke up.

Qianlong walked along the overhanded verandah to the main hall, and listened to the laughter and noise in the hall from a distance, and knew that the queen had not come, and the concubine was amusing the queen mother. When I arrived at the gate of the temple, I heard the voice of the Nala clan saying, "It's hot, it's hot." We offered Lafayette and asked them to build a big boat, walk on the canal and see the scenery all the way, and you can also play and listen to music on the boat, eat freshly picked melons and fruits, how pleasant it is - good my Lafayette, you haven't enjoyed this blessing yet! If you don't go, how can the emperor take us a group of legless crabs? As she was talking, when she saw Qianlong stepping into the hall, she stopped, and the concubines and concubines also returned to their respective positions, and knelt down to say goodbye. Qianlong said: "That's it, get up!" So he went up and saluted his mother.

"The Emperor rises!"

The Queen Mother was full of smiles, raised her hand slightly on the middle chair, and said, "They are making trouble for me!" Last time, you said you were going to tour the south, and when you came down, you blew up the nest. Li Wei presented the painting of the Jiangnan Garden to the first emperor, this borrowed that borrowed, and he wanted to buy this and eat that, and it was so noisy that people's ears could not be cleaned—where did you swim to? In May, the court has a day off, shouldn't you be loose and loose? I was in Zhongcui Palace, and I said that Zhang Tingyu's son was going to come in and ask for peace, and I blocked it for you. I heard that I was angry with Fu Heng at this end again. Anyway, if there's something to talk about, can't you say it again? ”

"Queen Mother Lafayette, Fu Heng, how dare they be angry with their son? It's annoying to hear something. Qianlong smiled, sighed again, and briefly told the matter on the fold of the relatives, and said: "My son is anxious about this matter, and he is still waiting for them to have a secret fold come in." I was bored in my heart, and walked a few steps in this palace courtyard. ”

Hearing Qianlong say that his relatives were wrecked in Jinchuan, the people in the palace suddenly changed color, and even the queen mother was stunned. The great-grandfather of the relatives is also her uncle, the father of the concubine Niu Hulu, and the grandfather of the relatives, in fact, they are not far relatives, and they have never avoided entering the palace to ask for peace, and their dependents are even more close. Now that the relatives are losing their soldiers and will be trapped in Songgang, regardless of the danger, they will be investigated in the future, and the faces of the queen mother and the concubine will be dull. After a long pause, the Queen Mother asked:

"What are you going to do?"

"Now the military situation is unknown, and there is no talk about disposing of relatives. The son has decreed that he will recover the temple. ”

"Where's Zhang Guangsi?"

"Zhang Guangsi is a person who was ordered to help his relatives and make meritorious contributions. It will also depend on the outcome of the military situation. Wang Fa has no relatives, and the messenger is smashed, no matter who it is, it must be handled according to the rules. ”

…………

The Queen Mother snorted for a moment and did not ask again. Qianlong also felt that the conversation was too stiff, so he changed his smile and said softly: "Lafayette's thoughts and sons couldn't understand it better. In his early years of studying at the Lama Temple, his son stayed with his relatives, and he spoke Chinese[1]

Learn well, often go to the sea to watch the sunrise and sunset together, and speak Chinese. Both of our songs and poems have been integrated into a large book......" His tone became very heavy: "He became the Minister of Military Aircraft, not for the personal relationship with his son in the former mansion, but for his hard work, honesty and loyalty." But his son's personal relationship with him for many years is also unforgettable...... Mother! How to deal with him is a matter for the future, just tell my mother one sentence, to govern such a big world, to manage hundreds of millions of people, you can't abolish the public for private reasons, let alone have no system rules. The son's heart for his peace is the same as his mother......" The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, sighed silently, and said with a wry smile: "If something happened to my mother's family, Niu Hulu and I are not decent. Let's hope he is safe! Ming'er, we all went to Dajue Temple to make incense, and asked the gods and Buddhas to bless Jinchuan as soon as possible, and to win the victory......"

"When a man has a thought, the heavens will follow it. Mother is the best like this! Qianlong saw that the Queen Mother was depressed, although he was unhappy in his heart, he still cheered up and comforted with a smile on his face: "Under today's big festival, our mother and son don't talk about this, but also talk about the southern tour." Jin has already handed over the fold, and the palaces in Nanjing, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou have been tidied up, and the queen mother will be fascinated when she goes. The Han people say that 'there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below', which is not false at all, it is really this scene only in the sky! Du Danchalk was whitewashed with a new ...... "He suddenly remembered that for the cultivation palace, the Internal Affairs Office had spent five million taels of silver, which was twice as much silver as the silver used to build the palace. I don't know how many dirty officials have made a big deal out of it...... Immediately swept away. Seeing the queen smile, he was reluctant to listen, so he said, "Lafayette...... If you're tired, my son will wait for you to go back to the palace......"

Fu Heng withdrew from the Chengqian Palace and did not return home immediately. He went to the Military Aircraft Department with Liu Tongxun to discuss the matter of the billing. The emperor has many wills, Liu Tongxun is a very serious person, and Fu Heng is never sloppy in these matters. The holy oracles instructed by Qianlong were listed one by one, and the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites should be responsible. The shouts rang out, and Fu Heng left the military plane. But when I looked back from afar, Liu Tongxun still reflected a cup of tea, a pen, and a motionless figure on the desk.

Fu Heng returned to the mansion with a stomach full of worries, and when he got off the sedan chair, the house was already full of lights. More than a dozen Taoist prefects were waiting in the waiting hall of the door and government, and when they heard the shout of "the master has returned home", they all rushed out, crackling and crackling horseshoe sleeves, and they all came to ask for peace. Fu Heng was as irritable as he was, and looked at it, all of them had written letters in advance, and none of them were his own servants or protégés, so he couldn't lose his temper, so he forced a smile and said: "I've told you brothers to wait for a long time!" I originally said that I had a holiday today, and I could talk about it, but Long Live Lord summoned him to discuss the matter, and he had to come back sooner or later. Tonight, the brothers still have urgent things to do, and they dare not grieve the brothers to wait for a long time. And please go back, come back tomorrow night, it's really offended. Then he asked, "Have you had dinner?" How dare these people say "I haven't eaten", they all promise indiscriminately and say, "We have eaten, please Zhongtang ...... by yourself" Da Qian'er resigned. Fu Hengxu took two steps and turned back, and while walking towards the West Flower Hall, he instructed the old king: "Tell your daughter-in-law to go in and ask Mrs., I'm back." I have to stay up late in the study tonight, and I don't have to come over to ask for peace after I finish the night class. ”

"Yes, sir!" The old king followed behind and agreed, and asked again, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”

"I ate a little bit in the big hall of the military aircraft department, and I just prepared a little supper."

"Yes! The old minion will confess to the big kitchen......"

Fu Heng stopped at the gate of the Moon Cave, turned around and smiled: "You don't have to do this, this is Xiao Qi'er's messenger." The little maid in my study, Laifu'er, can do it - tell the family that they don't have to stay up late with me. The old king smiled and said, "The slave is about to dismiss what the master said." When the old man is alive, he will have a banquet until the fourth watch, and the old man is so sleepy in the study that he is napping and fishing, how dare he sleep first? The master doesn't stop, and the servants in the family don't have a reason to stand up for themselves. According to the knowledge of the minions, the third master and the second master went to Haizheng to rest and follow their girls. The rest of the minions in the outer room still have to wait with them......" Fu Hengsheng was afraid that he would nag again, and when he saw that it was a slit in the conversation, he smiled and said: "Done!" This is the truth, and it depends on you. "The old king just turned back to Longlong Zhongzhong. Fu Heng entered the study and wrote letters to the governors, generals, and admirals of various provinces one after another.

The letter was easy to write, but it was just a restatement of Qianlong's will, asking everyone to report to Qianlong according to their will and their own differences, and to make suggestions. However, there are more than 20 governors of the 18 provinces, and there are also 50 or 60 generals with foreign troops. Lai Fu'er was grinding ink on the side, grinding inkstone after inkstone, Fu Heng wrote more than 20 letters, and he heard the faint sound of chickens crowing in the distance, he suddenly felt sleepy and dizzy, stopped the pen in his hand, took a piece of snack from the plate, and chewed it mechanically in his mouth. Laifuer said: "Master, you really should rest." The words of the third master (Fukangan) are imitated by you, and they often write letters on your behalf. Please come to the third master, you just sit and say, he writes. Wouldn't you save some mental energy? ”

"Okay...... Fu Heng stood up, "call someone to call him." After that, Fu Heng shook his sour right arm and walked out of the study, stood under the dripping eaves and stretched deeply, took a breath of slightly chilly air, and said "It's so fragrant"! Suddenly I felt much more refreshed, and I didn't go back to the house, but took a leisurely walk in the mossy underground in front of the study.

The weather was so clear that there was not a single cloud, and the dark navy blue sky seemed extraordinarily lonely and empty, and the stars were so far away that they stretched out in and on both sides of the Milky Way, stretching to the endless end, and from time to time mysteriously twinkling. The crescent moon was as clear as a paper-cut, high in the sky, surrounded by a lilac halo that surrounded it. The soft moonlight was hazy and sprinkled down, and all the trees, the female wall, and the female wall were crawling with morning glory and black vines, and the pavilion corners half-hidden in the willow trees, and the iron horses under the eaves were like a vague layer of pale cyan frost, and they were motionless and soaked in the charming and soft moonlight. Everything was silently bathed in the darkness and light, and the strong fragrance of pomegranate flowers and the fragrance of various cold flowers came in bursts, washing Fu Heng without any turbidity.

"Master, your name is son?"

Behind him, he heard the voice of his son Fukangan. Fu Heng let out an "um" and turned around after a while. The moonlight was too faint, and the shadow was enough to see him wearing a light-colored robe and a Baturu vest, and he couldn't see what color he was, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, slightly taller than Fu Heng, and his body was standing in the moon shadow, both slim and not slender. This is Fu Heng's third son, he is the sister-in-law of the wife of the main house, Tang'er, extremely smart, born heroic, which makes people forget the vulgar at first sight, but his inner heart looks a little harder, but he is favoritist and elegant in dealing with people. Fu Heng and Tang'er both love him very much. Fu Heng stared at him with a soft gaze for a long time, and then he had already picked up his father's identity and asked, "Have you fallen asleep?" ”

"Back to the master, my son will go back to the room, and he won't dare to disobey his father's order."

"Call you sooner or later, don't you be sleepy, right?"

"Don't be sleepy! The son's physique is stronger than that of his brothers and brothers. ”

Fu Heng turned around and walked to the study with his hands behind his back, but he was not busy signing the papers, took out a book from the bookshelf, and instructed the little servant: "Hold another candle!" He said to his son who followed him: "This is the seventeenth volume of "Mr. Zhenchuan's Collection". He opened it casually, and designated a "Xiang Zhixuan Zhi" and said: "About a thousand words." Back! Fukangan originally heard that he was asking himself to write a letter, but he didn't expect his father to come up with such a question first, so he replied "yes", took the book with both hands, frowned and stared, and returned the book to Fu Heng with both hands. Fu Heng had long heard that Fukangan had a talent that he would never forget, but he didn't expect it to be so agile. He coughed lightly to hide his pleasure, and sat firmly in the easy chair and stared at Fukangan without saying a word. Fukangan was a little uneasy under his father's gaze, pursed his lips and recited:

Xiang Zhixuan, the old South Pavilion also. The room is only the abbot and can accommodate one person. A hundred-year-old house, the dust and mud seep, the rain bets, every time the case is moved, there is no place to be placed, and the north, can not get the sun, the day is past noon...... And mixed planting orchid cinnamon bamboo wood in the court, the old time column, but also increased the victory. Borrowing books full of shelves, singing and singing, sitting quietly, there is a sound of ten thousand sounds, and the court steps are lonely, and the birds come to peck at the time, and people don't go. Three or five nights, the bright moon is half a wall, the laurel shadow is mottled and the wind moves and the shadow moves, and Shanshan is lovely......

He almost did not lag at all, Langlang recited like a bead walking on a jade plate, and his spirit was shining brightly between his pitches. Fu Heng held the back of the chair with both hands, so excited that he seemed to stand up, with a happy light in his eyes, and suddenly realized that he was a "strict father", and sat down comfortably and reservedly, sipping tea and listening:

…… Six years later, my wife died, and the room was broken and not repaired. In the next two years, Yu was sick and bored for a long time, which made people rebuild the South Pavilion, and its system was slightly different from the previous one, but since then the rest was more outside, and did not live permanently.

There is a loquat tree in the garden, which was planted by my wife in the year of her death. It has now been repaired and covered.

"It's okay to carry it." Fu Heng had no expression on his face. "The last sentence is wrong, it is 'slim as a cover'. What is 'repair'? Nonsense! Fukangan smiled and said: "Ama taught a lesson! However, I saw that my father often used the name of 'Shuiting Layman', and my son did not dare not shy away from it. Fu Heng was silent for a while, and said, "It's not uncommon to recite it by eye. I heard that you met with a few elder brothers in Xie Jiayuanzi, and you also sat at the top of the list? Let me tell you, showing off your talent and showing your wisdom has lost your gentlemanly nature. Zhang Song in the Three Kingdoms, Wang Anshi's son Wang Yan, a thousand words are unforgettable, and Liu Molin in the hands of Yongzheng Ye is either immortal, or he is suffering from a strange disaster, shouldn't he be taken as a warning? ”

Fukangan's eyelids moved, and he wanted to peek at his father, but he didn't dare. Tang Prime Minister Li Bismu, Ming Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng, Gao Shiqi of this dynasty, and Zhang Tingyu all recited ten lines casually at a glance when they were young, and there was no "strange disaster". specially called back, but recited but reprimanded, he was really unconvinced. refuted his father in his heart, but he said in his mouth: "Ama Jinyu's good words, my son has remembered it!" "Don't think of Amma as mean." Fu Heng said: "This article is not a superior work of Gui Youguang. There's a sense of teaching people to be happy, so you should chew it, and if you know you're a 'trap frog', you should be less arrogant - go, sit at the table, and I say, you write! Fukangan bowed hurriedly, sat down at the table steadily, and listened to Fu Heng's dictation.

"Write in block letters-" Fu Heng confessed again, half lying on the easy chair, stroking the slightly hot head with his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Well, Brother Yuan Chang, I haven't been elegant for a long time, and I miss ...... urgently."

This is a letter to Yin Jishan, first relayed Qianlong's words, to rectify the financial officials, maintain discipline, and educate, the imperial court will have a big move, Yin Jishan is a pillar of the minister, when the first hundred officials are earnest, but hesitate and did not relent. Fukangan had no choice but to hold the pen on his wrist and wait. Fu Heng said again:

Another brother told his brother that the Jinchuan military had lost again, and the emperor was furious, and if he couldn't win by himself, he was afraid that he would have to worry about the repetition of the celebration. This matter is still waiting for news from Jin Hui. I don't know if Jin Hui and Jiang Dujin are related? A few days ago, the emperor slightly revealed that he wanted to transfer his brother back to Jiangnan, but now the military situation has changed, or the associated personnel have changed, and the court has relied on the current affairs, so as not to take temporary measures.

He paused, stared at the light of the candle dancing slowly, and added a few words in a sluggish manner:

There are three foreign churches in Guangli (i.e., Guangzhou), which are specially used to allow foreigners to come to China for trade; Recently, it has been reported that quite a number of Chinese have instigated those who have joined the religion for it, that is, they should find out and put it in the law, and this matter is not detailed, and they should be careful to prevent the slightest mistake. Be careful. The emperor paid special attention to the trend of the cult, and the "One Branch of Flower" also took advantage of the changes in the sky to spread the epidemic, and the original intention of the southern tour was to deal with it, but the trip could not be postponed. Jin can't handle it sincerely, and the Sacred Heart is dissatisfied.

After speaking, seeing that Fu Kangan also stopped writing, he asked for a letter, and when he saw that he forced Xiao to calligraphy on weekdays, it seemed to be more neat, so he nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is also a letter to your Uncle Gui." The meaning is the same as before, and you can adapt the words yourself. A few days ago, the emperor had the intention of transferring him to the military aircraft department on an errand, and he was also concerned about his shallow qualifications. There are also generals of Yunnan and Guizhou, governors of Gansu, admirals, and admirals of Fujian Navy...... There are still more than a dozen people who have not arrived, and they can only relay their will and greet them warmly. The letter to King and the letter to the governor of the river were attached to my words: The new bridges of the canal must be more than two feet above the water, and the demolition of the old and the replacement of the new are also a charter, and all the tones must be left room. Got it? ”

"Understood." Fukangan hurriedly replied, and asked, "Amma, why is the bridge so high?" It is labor-intensive and inconvenient for cars and pedestrians......"

Fu Heng stood up, with a hint of melancholy in his tired eyes, and said: "The royal driver always has to tour the south, the bridge is low, and the dragon boat can't cross, so it still has to be demolished." You are already a guard, and you must slowly learn to worry about things, and if you don't think about the slightest thing, you will have to work hard and lose money, and you will not be pleased. Write it, son. I'm tired, go out to evacuate and evacuate, and when I come back, I have to read them one by one, and then hand them over to the post......" He rarely excuses his sons on weekdays, he has always had a cold face, and he is often scolded, and he is so tired at the moment that he can't pretend to be like him, and his gentle words are a bit like Tang'er's usual tone. Fukang's heart was feverish, and tears were almost about to come out, staring at his father, and said in a slightly choked voice: "Ama rest assured, your advice to your son to remember...... lived. You can't rest today, and it's time to evacuate and go to court again. My son will cook you a good ginseng soup and send it to you. ”

"Okay, you're going to do it!" Fu Heng didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in his son's emotions, and he didn't even pay attention to his own mood, yawned deeply, and stepped out of the study. A few long guards waited all night, except for serving tea and water, they all sat on the spring bench under the porch, unable to doze off and dare not eat their teeth, but only to drink tea one after another to relieve their difficulties, and suffered a lot. Seeing Fu Heng come out, his heart was relieved. "Huh" stood up and said in unison: "Good morning, master!" Then he went to Qian'er. Fu Heng looked at the sky, the east had already revealed the thin light, and the bamboo trees and flowers in the garden had gradually shown their verdant nature, and he couldn't help laughing: "This is the time when I get up on weekdays." You have kept watch all night, and you are all exhausted. Tell Xiao Qizi that if you take a day off, everyone will be rewarded with two taels of silver - what about Xiao Qizi? Why didn't you see him all night? ”

A chief came over and said, "Master, our steward Wang has made a mistake. The old man of his family told him to kneel on the bricks last night. I'm afraid I'm still kneeling under the big willow tree in the east courtyard! Fu Heng was stunned when he heard this, and when he was about to ask, he saw a few girls coming over with small glass lamps from a distance, and he knew that Tang'er was coming, so he greeted him. When a few girls saw him coming, they were busy squatting down to give blessings. Fu Heng smiled and said to Tang'er: "It's too early to get up, and the dew on the grass has wet the trouser legs." Kang'er occasionally stays up all night, and you are such a snake, snake, scorpion, and old woman posture - he is sturdy! ”

Tang'er looked at the hem of her trousers. She is a woman who is very particular about grooming, wearing a jade-colored coat on her upper body, trimmed with dark silk and embroidered with gold thread plum blossoms, honey-colored trousers are also pinched gold and digging cloud piping, and a pair of embroidered tweed shoes are shoeed. Seeing her husband looking at herself, Tang'er untied the green onion cloak and handed it to the girl, and said with a smile: "Don't you say I haven't felt it yet!" Don't blame you for this? There is such a deep grass on the road outside Xixuanzi, and not a single one is allowed to be shoveled! Kang'er, I know it's okay. You can't even sleep for three hours a day, and I'm a little relieved that you're going to go to court after such an all-nighter. What about Kang'er? I'll go in and take a look......"

"He's still doing my job, don't mess with him." Fu Heng stood on the gradually clear grass, breathing the crisp air of the early morning dawn comfortably, looking particularly energetic, he shook his arms and ordered his family: "Let's disperse, my wife and I are walking leisurely in the garden." As he spoke, he walked slowly towards the sea. After all, Tang'er went to the window to peep at her son, and then waded to her husband's side with dew.

The husband and wife have not had such a leisurely walk for a long time, the big willow trees along the coast of Haizi are like rain, and the blue sky is misty from afar, and the eyes are a piece of new green, and the oil is tender like a waterfall flowing down. They strolled through the shearling meadows, and for a moment no one spoke. Only the frogs jumped into the pond, and occasionally a few "coo-", and the chirping of various birds in the depths of the willow shade broke the fresh silence before dawn. After a long time, Tang'er said: "I went in yesterday, did you see my mother?" ”

"Hmm." Fu Heng was in a trance and agreed absentmindedly.

"Ming'er is a mother's Christmas. The Baojia went to Jiangxi, and the kilns purchased, as well as some Western goods, were unloaded at Chaoyangmen Wharf, and the live animals sent by our Zhuangzi arrived today, and you should have lived your purpose. ”

"Huh? Hmm......" Fu Heng realized for a moment and said with a smile: "I'm listening to the birds!" - I've seen the gift list. Niangniang is my mother's sister and sister, and she doesn't care about being more polite and polite. ”

Tang'er approached him, and while plucking a willow leaf from his hair, he said angrily: "When people talk, you listen to the birds' calls - change the way to scold people!" Prince Zhuang, Prince Xu, Prince Yi, Prince Guo, and several Fujin, as well as several clan relatives Mrs. Beizi have come to inquire in the past few days. Our gifts are too simple, so that people don't talk about it, and they are also lower than the bottom, for fear that the mother will be wronged - they have to be a little higher than the concubine, okay? Fu Heng understood at this time, picked a willow leaf, chewed and sucked the bitter taste, and asked, "How much silver is our gift worth?" Tang'er was a little silent, and said with a smile: "It's only three or four thousand taels." There is also a bottle of Jun kiln large porcelain Guanyin, and the price has not yet been ......"

"It can't be more than three thousand taels." Fu Heng said in an unquestionable tone, "If you cut and cut, all Western goods, gold and silver utensils will not be entered." The best tributes are from our own Zhuangzi. Do you understand? Tang'er was stunned by his categorical tone, and then smiled: "What's wrong with you?" Surprise me! This is all silver that is coming in and out, and it is not a thief, so it is worth saying so justly? Fu Heng also felt that his tone was too hard, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "The emperor wants to rectify the rule of officials again." Whoever is wider at this time may crash into the net. My sister just doesn't give anything, she only has compassion for us. Forgot the birthday of the master, Gao Heng sent a bottle of golden Buddha in? When the emperor saw it, he flicked the Buddha statue with his fingers and said, 'Human blood and human anointing are cast, there will be such a sound?' Frightened, Master Xian hurriedly transferred to Lafayette of Cining Palace. If you fill it in for nothing, you will still be frightened, so why bother? ”

Seeing that there was no one around, he put his finger on Fu Heng's forehead, and said with a sneer: "Save it, my lord - don't delay you to be a famous minister!" Fu Heng also smiled. Because asked: "What did the little seventh son do, I heard that the old king asked him to kneel on the brick all night!" Tang'er said: "That's their housework." Yesterday, I distributed pomegranates to a few brothers, and they were all placed in the study. The little grandson of the old king, the monkey cub who fell from the peach tree last month, stole one through the window, and called Brother Long to see it and slap him. The kid pushed the young master on his back and faced the sky. It just so happened that Xiao Qizi arrived, beat his son, and kowtowed to Brother Long to make amends. This matter has passed, and when the old king heard about it, he punished his son for putting bricks. It's his tutor! After that, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "The old king is stricter than your tutor!" ”

"How's that going to work? That kid is only six or seven years old, and he won't spare Lao Tzu after beating him! Fu Heng's heart was shocked, he had already lost his smile, turned around and left, and said to Tang'er who followed him: "We are the emperor's slaves, they are our slaves." Zhang Tingyu said that the king regards his ministers as his siblings, and his ministers regard him as his father and brother; The king regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as enemies - there is a part, a fate, a feeling, and a reason. Don't just be a joke – I'll see! Tang'er also quickened her pace and followed.

Wang Qi'er's home is in the east courtyard of Bofu, they are the servants of the Fu family, and now they are the housekeepers of the whole house. Fu Heng rushed to the door of the instrument, and the old Wang Tou was directing the servants to pick up the lights and extinguish the candles and sweep the road, and saw the two of them coming one after the other, and they left the work in their hands and stood with their hands down. The old king came over to beat Qian'er and said, "Please be too **!" ”

"You old thing!" Fu Heng said with a smile: "I said, I didn't see Xiao Qizi all night, it turned out that I knelt down all night - take me to your courtyard!" Then he went north, and then to the east, and walked through the doorway built by the grape trellis, and the morning glory climbed the fence wall around it, and it was the courtyard of the old king's head. As soon as Fu Heng entered the courtyard, he was shocked: he saw Xiao Qizi kneeling straight and straight at the stone table where he was eating, with a small plate on the table and some snacks and fruits left. The little seventh daughter-in-law squatted beside her husband and fed her husband water with a small spoon. The troubled little hairy monkey and his two older sisters were all ten or eight years old, and one stood beside the little seventh son, gently blocking the brick on his father's head with his little hands. Seeing his grandfather enter the courtyard with his housewife, the little monkey cried "wow", crawled to Fu Heng's feet, hugged his legs with both hands, and begged while crying: "Master, woo...... I don't dare anymore, I've grown up...... Grandpa listened to your words and told Abba...... "He was so young that he screamed and cried, Fu Heng's heart was sour, and tears came out of his eyes. Tang'er's heart also sank suddenly, and she personally stepped forward to remove the green brick on the top of Xiao Qizi's head.

"The old man is too **, spare you, why don't you even kowtow?" The old king's voice was also a little choked, but his face was still pale, and he reprimanded his son: "It's like a donkey!" "Xiao Qizi burst into tears, supported his hands, and fell on the ground and touched his head three times - it turned out that he had been bricking all night, his neck and waist were stiff, and he couldn't live for a while." That's it, old king. Tang'er said: "Killing people is not enough to fall to the ground." The hairy monkey is still a-eating doll, and he can't be sensible to enlighten him with a few slaps, so he endures it so ruthlessly! ”

The old king sighed, and was already in tears, bowed down and said, "This is the mercy of the master. Adults are not comfortable, and they are not adults. Since he was a child, he knew the rules of name. The lord stayed up all night and night, not to be a famous minister? When we are slaves, we naturally have to think about being a 'famous slave', right? It was the first time Fu Heng heard the word "famous slave", and he wanted to laugh, but his heart was hot, but he couldn't laugh. But I heard the old king say again: "Our lord is the prime minister who dominates the world, in charge of civil and military officials, has fought Heicha Mountain, and has beaten Shandong Xiangma several times, so scared that the thieves will scatter when they hear the name of the master, and the master is a great hero with both civil and military skills!" When you are a slave, you have to give your master a long face......"

"It's full of elves!" Fu Heng ignored the old king's tirade, leaned down and touched the pigtail of the little monkey's total horn, and asked the little seventh son: "How old are you?" Did you have a big name? Xiao Qizi bowed his back, tears on his face, and said with a smile: "I have lost my dog teeth, I am eight years old, and I don't have a moment of quiet when I twist the rope every day, and I call him a little monkey, and he has no official name." Fu Heng looked at the little monkey and said with a smile: "Just call it Jibao!" The more elves, remove the wild one, the better the slave, your grandfather waited for the old lady and waited for me, your father waited for me and waited for the three young masters, it was your turn, it was my son's hand. Good students do it, and there will be officials to do it in the future! Touching a bulging bag on his head, he asked again: "What's the matter, did your father beat it, or did you touch it yourself?" ”

Xiao Jibao touched a blue spot on the corner of his forehead with his dirty little hands, stared at Fu Heng with flickering eyes, and said, "This is Daddy's beating at night...... And here's it - this bag you're touching is called Sting Donkey Bee for Sting......"

"Sting donkey bees?"

"Really! I went to catch butterflies in the flower garden over there, what is it called a sting, it hurts...... My sister said it was a donkey bee sting! ”

Fu Heng thought about it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Sting donkey bee!" What a good name...... Your sister is funny! Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Tang'er bent over with even more laughter, and even the old king couldn't help but laugh. Fu Heng patted Xiao Jibao's head, stood up and smiled to himself, and said, "Good boy, smart!" In the future, I will grind ink and hold inkstones in the study of your three masters, and give you a monthly example! Grow up in the future, so that you can work hard for your little master! He said to Tang'er again: "Reward him with some Zijin Activating Pill, pull out the poison, and the swelling will be reduced." As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

Tang'er knew that he was going to the court, and when he turned around, he glanced back and saw Fukangan standing on the road outside the courtyard with a stack of letters waiting, because he ordered: "Little Qizi will rest for a day today." Lao Wang asked them to prepare a sedan chair. Ji Bao will be with your third master, and he will ask him to kowtow - he is really young, don't restrain him, let him make mistakes-Lao Wang listened? ”

"Yes......"

"Go ahead!"

Here, Fu Heng went out of the house and got into the sedan chair. Beat the road to the outside of Xihua Gate, as usual in the big stone lion next to the sedan chair, down the waist. At this time, the sky was clear, and a group of people from the west were scattered outside the Xihua Gate, all of whom were foreign officials waiting to come in. Some people are in the same year, and some people talk about their hometowns, and they all gather in one place to talk. Seeing Fu Heng get off the sedan chair, most of them didn't dare to come closer. Fu Hengyin saw that the dozen or so officials who arrived at his house last night were also standing far away, looking at himself with a blank eye, he only smiled and nodded to them, and was about to hand over the sign to enter the door, when he saw Liu Tongxun staggering in front, followed by more than a dozen people, but they were all Shangshu Shilang from various ministries, and Jing Jiyun, the military aircraft Dazhang, also swayed and followed inside. Fu Heng took a few steps, pulled Liu Tongxun with one hand, pulled Ji Yun with the other, and said, "Hard work!" Last night's meeting at the Military Aircraft Division? I haven't slept all night! ”

"How dare I summon someone into the inner hall at night." Liu Tongxun said with a smile: "The emperor also listened to the government at the military aircraft last night and heard it in the middle of the night, and then saw Ji Xiaolan alone, and said that he would go back on the fourth watch." Fu Heng looked at Ji Yun with a smile and said, "It's been a long time, congratulations!" ”

Ji Yun laughed and said, "Why do I like it?" Besides, I was still noisy three days ago, how can I call it 'long gone'? Fu Heng smiled and said: "You make up the scholar of Wenhuadian University, and the tickets for the book of the Ministry of Rites have come out, isn't this a joy?" Three autumns in one day, three days is nine autumns, isn't it a 'long absence'? ”

The three of them couldn't help laughing, but at the gate of this forbidden garden, they couldn't be loud, and they were quite restrained. Liu Tongxun saw his son Liu Yong wearing a new official uniform, stood respectfully in the distance, and said, "I'll go first" and went down the steps. Ji Yun said with a smile: "If Liu Yong wants to be introduced alone, Yanqing has to explain a few words to his son." He has a lot of stomach, after all, he also has the feeling of licking calves! ”

"You're a university scholar, after all, it's gratifying." Fu Heng smiled and whispered: "I heard that they are clamoring to eat your favorite wine, you can be careful, don't be a trick, be careful of the imperial history!" Ah Gui and they are going to be transferred back, I will get a seat later, and a few confidants and friends will have a drink, which is better than that virtual and lively. Ji Yun smiled and said: "I will take care of the middle hall." I still want to invite the guest, but I don't dare to invite the sixth master, these days I have copied poems and written for the emperor, and earned some reward money from the master, you may as well look at the sixth master, discipline that stinky imperial history can't get me. Fu Heng knew that he was alert, and said: "It's not a big deal to treat guests with your own money." I'm just asking for nothing. ”

Ji Yun said: "The time has come, please drive." I went back to have some food and came in again. "Let's go.
