Before Guerjia could think clearly, a girl's voice came from the door: "Old man, fourth master." β
Fourth Master? Do they have this person in their family? Shu Yao saw Ama Zhiyuan and the second brother Shuyi enter the door with their front and back feet, got up and said, "Second brother, how did you become the fourth master?" β
Shuyi lowered his head in contemplation, heard his sister's words, and explained: "There are seven grandsons in the four rooms of the Duke's Palace, and the eldest brother is the eldest grandson as the eldest uncle, and I will be the fourth." β
"Did you go to the Ministry of Works today?" Guerjia directly met Zhiyuan, who had a dignified face, ordered the girl to fetch water to freshen up, and asked tentatively, "But something is wrong?" β
When the hour is now, it is the time of the last dynasty, Zhiyuan dare not sneak away, Shuyi returned to the house in this situation, it must be a big event in the capital, after Zhiyuan sat down, "The Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the emperor dropped out of the court to serve in Cining Palace, I heard the news, the Empress Dowager is afraid that it is not good, and the house must make preparations as soon as possible." β
Shuyi nodded and said: "Eniang, the clan Beile Fujin has gone to the Forbidden City to ask for an attendant, although the Empress Dowager has ordered that Prince Fujin is not allowed to enter the palace to serve the sick, but the old Fujin of the prince's county palace has entered the palace to send the Empress Dowager on her last journey, and my son will see if the old lady in our house will also enter the palace?" β
"Who did you hear that about? The old Fu Jin of the prince's county palace entered the palace, do you know? "Guarjia is impressed with his son Shuyi, how long has it been since he returned to Beijing? In just a few days, he set up with the Prince's Mansion, and Guerjia poked Shuyi's forehead: "The ability is not small." β
Shu Yao nodded approvingly, "Second brother, you are so powerful." β
Because of Shu Yao's soft words, the atmosphere in the room was no longer solemn, Shuyi habitually rubbed his sister's head, Shu Yao flashed to the side, and complained: "It's so troublesome to comb your hair." β
Shuyi persevered to mess up Shu Yao's hair before letting go, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, the first time I went out after returning to Beijing, I met Prince Kang's fourth son, Baltu, whose son has a similar temperament and a good relationship. β
When the prince's brother reads, it is a very glorious thing, Prince Kang is a hereditary ********, the current Prince Kang Jieshu has made great contributions to the pacification of the three feudatories, and has won the appreciation of today's saints, Shuyi is the companion of Brother Baltu to read in the Forbidden City, and the masters who can teach the prince and brother to enter the branch are all famous people in the world, which is good for Shuyi's talent and learning, and it is possible to make friends with the prince and brother.
If you change someone, you will be happy, but Guerjia shook her head and said, "E-Niang doesn't want you to be Brother Baltu's companion." β
"E-niang." Shuyi was stunned, and Guerjia said, "Are you and Brother Baltu like-minded?" β
"Yes."
"That's it, although his status is high, but we don't bother with him, if he really regards you as a friend, he will talk about it as equals. Famous people in the world are teachers, but they may not be able to teach talents, and he is surrounded by extremely noble people, although you are from the Duke's Palace, but now the Duke's Mansion is not enough for the top nobles, and the princes and brothers may not have you in their eyes, Shuyi, I have no objection to you making friends, but if you remember one, do not rely on it, do not be humble or arrogant, and become a big tree by yourself. β
"The son remembers the teachings of Eniang."
The Guerjia clan nodded with a smile, Shuyi practiced martial arts, his future was not in front of the elder brother of the clan, and the Guerjia clan would never tolerate his son groveling and flattering in front of the powerful, even if he wanted to kneel, he would have to kneel to the biggest master of the Qing Dynasty - Emperor Kangxi.
Zhiyuan wiped his beard, obviously agreeing with what Guerjia said, and did not forget to add: "We also have genealogy..."
The Guerjia clan raised their eyebrows and glanced at Zhiyuan, in front of the children, the Guerjia clan still gave Zhiyuan a lot of face, Zhiyuan coughed twice, "Yes, the clan study is a little deserted, but isn't it that we are going back to Beijing?" I will ask Ama to reopen the clan school, hire Mr. Wenwu, the Duke's Mansion is based in the capital, not just by the title, the descendants are talented, and the Shumulu family can last for a long time, so I will go and talk to Amma. β
Zhiyuan was resolute, got up and left, Shu Yao's eyes widened, and he went to the lustful old man to talk about the ethnology, Shu Yao was very skeptical that Ama would be beaten out by him, except for the old man who had just come back to Zhiyuan's family to meet him, Shu Yao had never seen him again, and he was not in one place for dinner, but Shu Yao still heard some gossip, the old man was an extremely beautiful person, and he had the inheritance of that merry ancestor.
Shu Yao always thinks that the merry ancestor who died of illness should be the commonly known crossing breeder in the Internet, fortunately, Ama Zhiyuan has never inherited it, just Eniang is a woman, and the third-grade member is also a department-level cadre in modern times, and it is also a colonel rank in the military, Zhiyuan has only one person in his life, whether it is in ancient or modern times, it is very rare, of course, Shu Yao also expressed doubts, Zhiyuan did not dare to take a concubine, Shu Yao secretly glanced at Eniang who was sitting and drinking tea, is she easy to provoke? The Tang noblewoman can't lower her husband, it's a joke.
Shu Yao hammered Guerjia's shoulders with his legs, and called softly: "Eniang, Eniang." β
"Good." Guerjia's heart softened a little when he heard it, no matter how he looked at his daughter, the corners of his mouth twitched next to Shuyi, Eniang was shrewd, but in front of his sister, cough cough... It's hard to say.
"Eniang, do you have to prepare in the house?"
"Well, if it's really a national funeral, things should be prepared early, and you can't buy silver when you save it."
"Do you need your son's help?"
Guerjia shook his head and said: "The most important thing for you now is to study and practice martial arts, and I will take you to meet your grandfather in two ****, I estimate that there will be a war in recent years." β
Shuyi's eyes lit up, Shu Yao looked brighter than a light bulb, and the Guerjia clan was imposing, "Hmph, the barbarians of the foreign domain still dare to fight against the imperial court, they don't know whether they are alive or dead, they should have paid tribute a long time ago, how can they provoke the heavenly kingdom?" β
Shu Yao was lying on the shoulder of the Guerjia clan, and if the mother wore it to the modern era, she was a female general, a strong woman, but it was a pity, there is a lack of hawkish female generals in modern times, Shu Yao could see the Guerjia clan's obsession with **** Shangbang,
Shuyi touched his nose and suppressed the words of the reminder, the Eight Banners of Manchuria are also barbarians in the eyes of the Han people.
"Madam, Miss Cousin has arrived."
Li Zhiqing? Shu Yao frowned and glanced at each other at the same time, what was she doing? Shu Yao wondered, just after hearing the gossip news, because the Empress Dowager did not come to pick up Li Zhiqing into the palace, wasn't the second aunt very angry? She didn't comfort the second aunt, what did she do in their yard?
Guerjia had a flash of inspiration, straightened Shu Yao, and said pointedly: "She has a lot of ambitions, she knows how to seize opportunities, it seems that there are arrangements outside the Duke's Palace, and the news that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the old lady may not know." β
