No matter what everyone thought, ten days after the holy decree came down, Lao Shi traveled lightly and excitedly followed him for a long time to Huguangmiao District.

On the day of the send-off, Lao Shi only brought some clothes, a short blade and musket that he treasured, and military boots that had been researched before.

Brother Jiu also specially gave Lao Shi a small musket, which can be placed in his boots like a dagger.

I'm afraid this musket is the only one in the Qing Dynasty.

Lao Shi smiled and said, "Brother Jiu, I didn't expect you to have such fine goods." ”

Brother Jiu patted Lao Shi's shoulder and said: "You take this for self-defense, don't take it out easily, although there are guards to protect you, but this time is your first time going out after all, you must pay attention to safety, don't always put on the master's ......"

When the eleventh elder heard that the ninth elder brother was about to talk again, he immediately said: "Ninth elder brother, the house will be handed over to you and the ninth sister-in-law, and you will be more responsible on weekdays." Guo Luo Luo has Borzigit's clan, and it will be good to send me a letter when he has a child. ”

For Lao Shi's simple and rude treatment, Brother Jiu immediately asked, "That...... It wasn't ...... before"

Fortunately, Lao Shi understood Brother Jiu and guessed that Brother Jiu was talking about the premature death of the previous child, so he waved his hand and said: "Borzigit told me that the death of the previous child has nothing to do with her, so she should pay for her child's life, she and Guo Luo Luo are clear, and they will not harm Guo Luo Luo's family." Brother Jiu, don't worry......"

After saying that, only the musket is studied.

Brother Jiu was a little dumbfounded, this ...... What is called his reassurance, and he is not his child, Brother Jiu doesn't know what to say.

After a while, Babel also came, and Lao Shi had already put the musket in his boots, and he only felt that it was very convenient.

A few people talked again, and when the ** thirteen Fujin came over, the old ten also set off, and there were not many people who followed together, just more than 20 guards, and several of them were also dressed in regular clothes, but this looked more like an errand.

When the old ten and the others were gone, Babeile said to the ninth elder brother: "Ninth brother, starling brother please have a drink?" ”

Brother Jiu smiled: "I don't know when the tenth brother will come back, only the eighth brother can accompany his younger brother to have a drink." "This time, Lao Shi can go to Huguang, and Brother Jiu has inquired in many ways, I am afraid that it is the "help" of the starling here, so it is very likely that the starling brother will drug him, so he can only put it down first, and he will have to talk about it when the old ten comes back safely.

He also happened to check secretly, and sincerely hoped that it was not a starling, if it was really a starling, but it was really difficult to deal with, just look at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which one would say anything bad about the starling?

Maybe it's because of this that someone framed the starling and provoked the two brothers.

Babel said happily: "Starling will be waiting for you to drink at any time in the future." The two went to the restaurant by themselves.

Shi Fujin said here: "Thank you two sisters-in-law for helping, but I finally sent my grandfather away." ”

Dong Emiaoyi smiled: "Listening to what you say, I look forward to your grandfather leaving." ”

Shi Fujin said helplessly: "In the past few days, he has either been busy looking at the domain records over there in Huguang, or he was invited by Guo Luo Luo, it is better to leave early, and I am also calm." ”

Bafujin snorted coldly: "I'm afraid she hasn't learned her lesson yet." ”

Dong Emiaoyi glanced at Ba Fu Jin, Ba Fu Jin is getting bolder and bolder now, several concubines in Ba Beile Mansion were driven away by Ba Fu Jin, in Ba Fu Jin's words, the master can't look down on you anyway, and it is a waste of rice to keep your master.

To his surprise, Babel didn't care.

Shifu Jin said: "If you don't absorb it, if you can't stand it, you can conceive it again, I can see it, stay steadfast, God will always return my child to me." After speaking, he said to Bafujin and Dong Emiaoyi: "I won't keep the two of them, and when Guo Luoluo gives birth to a child, I will invite the two to drink tea." ”

After saying that, he turned around and went back.

Bafujin's face turned red with anger, and Dong Emiaoyi said: "The ten brothers and sisters are always like this, I'm afraid they can't change it." ”

Bafujin's face softened a little, and then he reluctantly smiled: "Why don't you go to my meeting?" Let's talk? ”

Dong Emiaoyi said with a smile: "No, these days I have helped my ten brothers and sisters sort out things, and there are a lot of things left behind in my house." After saying that, Dong E Miaoyi also got on the sedan chair, she really didn't like Bafujin's temperament, she was too strong, and she was too familiar, and she didn't let people refute it with a good look for you, she was too tired.

Bafujin only sneered, and also turned around and got into the sedan chair.

Because Lao Shi went to Huguang Miao District, in addition to the shop every day, Brother Jiu also had one more thing, that is, to go to the fourth master to see if there was any report about Huguang's side, whether there was a letter, etc., but it looked a little closer to the fourth master.

Brother Jiu came back and said to Dong Emiaoyi: "The fourth brother's temperament is getting colder and colder, that look, looking at you makes you feel cold behind your back, you say ten words, he doesn't necessarily say a word." ”

Dong E Miaoyi served the ninth elder brother to change his clothes and said: "Princess Wen Xian died of illness at such a young age, and the fourth brother must not be happy." ”

Brother Jiu sighed and said, "The fourth brother personally told Concubine De the news of his death. ”

It's no wonder that in order to appease Concubine De, Huang Ama asked the fourth brother to deal with the Miao people's rebellion, but I am afraid that Fourteen will not be able to accept it, and I can't say that I still feel that I am exchanging my life for an errand.

It seems that there is no harmony between the two brothers, there are only the fourth brother, the fourteenth brother, the fifth brother and him in this harem, and the three pairs of brothers, the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers, the fifteenth and sixteenth are Han, and they are still young, so they can't see anything. But these two pairs of brothers ......

Huang Ama never cared about the relationship between them, and even more so, there was also Huang Ama among them......

Brother Jiu felt more and more that it was good to only open a shop, but Lao Shi was bent on making contributions, and Brother Jiu shook his head, unwilling to think about this.

Dong E Miaoyi only felt sorry for Princess Wen Xian when he was the ninth elder brother, so he said: "If you feel uncomfortable, help the fourth brother come up with ideas and see if you can help." ”

Brother Jiu smiled: "The fourth brother is studying national affairs over there, and so many ministers haven't discussed anything, so I can come up with the right idea?" It's not a shop. ”

Dong Emiaoyi said: "Ye is too arrogant, although I don't know anything about national affairs, but I know that this riot is just a good word, Ye is only a shop, if you can come up with any good ideas, you can also help the tenth brother, right?" If you can't say it, the tenth brother will come back early. ”

Brother Jiu thought of something, and said, "That's what I said...... As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Dong E Miaoyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, where is this going?" ”

Brother Jiu said: "Master go to the study and think of a way." Before the words fell, the man had already walked away......

Dong Emiaoyi looked at the waist seal in his hand and threw it aside helplessly.

After this day, Brother Jiu spent many days studying in the study, and after more than ten days, he seemed to have researched something, and hurriedly went to the fourth master.

It was the end of November.

Lao Shi had just arrived in Xiangxi, Hunan before, and they didn't say much about the specific situation.

And the fourth master only studied some extermination strategies, such as Miao Min killing mainland artists, the whole family repaying it, killing the mob and so on.

It's just that the fourth elder brother himself is not satisfied, and the ninth elder brother was shocked when he glanced at it, this method is too ruthless, the ninth elder brother wanted to persuade him, and thought that the fourth brother has always been stubborn, and he was afraid that if he persuaded him, it would be counterproductive, so he put this matter aside for the time being, and only discussed Buddhism with the fourth master: "Fourth brother, next year is the fiftieth birthday of Huang Ama, and the younger brother wants to send Buddhist scriptures, but he doesn't know what to choose." ”

The fourth master is a persistent and serious person, although it seems that something is not quite right when he hears Brother Jiu say this, but he also talks about it seriously.

Brother Jiu was quite patient at first, but in the end, he only felt that the ears were full of Amitabha Buddha and Prajnapara, and he was dizzy when he listened, and he only pretended to be attentive.

The fourth master has been upset recently, the palace and the palace are all troubles, and the eldest brother in the family is not in good health, originally these are just to deal with the ninth elder brother, but I didn't expect the ninth elder brother to be able to talk to the point at the beginning, he was happy and talked with the ninth elder brother, from Buddhism to the persuasion of the ancestor Shunzhi Emperor, but the irritability in his heart was expressed.

"Good people are close to them, and they help virtue to be practiced in body and mind. The wicked will be far away, and the disaster will be imminent. It is always necessary to conceal evil and promote good, and not to be duplicitous. There is a surplus of good in the house, and there is a surplus in the house of unkindness......"

The fourth master recited it again, and only felt as if he had an understanding.

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Regarding this Miao Min, my younger brother has some ideas, and I said that if it is useful to hear it with the fourth brother, it is also good." ”

The fourth master said: "Ninth brother, please." ”

Brother Jiu said: "Speaking of which, this Miao people's turmoil is also because of the word 'profit', the younger brother has checked the domain history of the Huguang generation and the situation of the Miao District, in order to level the disaster and disaster relief, the Hunan prefecture and county levels have generally set up a permanent position, Changsha occupies an important position in the grain supply of the two lakes, and the storage grain is the highest in Hunan. But the Miao people in the Miao area don't have enough to eat......"

Before he finished speaking, the fourth master said: "I know this, but this time I made a concession, and these Miao people will have to inch in the future......"

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "Fourth brother listened to me, there are wood, fungus, medicinal materials, and sumac trees in the Miao area that can make profits, if the Miao people don't rob and kill, you can let the Han people come in to teach and teach, or let the Han people come in to engage in trading, and exchange local products for salt cloth, which can benefit both sides and enjoy endless benefits......

When the fourth master heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "This matter can be discussed well." ”

In the future, Brother Jiu will be a frequent visitor of the fourth master, and he will strongly revise the policy of killing Miao Min, and the fourth master will calm down and know that it is quite inappropriate, and the Tao should also be followed, and the two brothers are very harmonious.

Because Princess Wenxian died of illness this year, the queen mother was not in good health, and there was a riot among the people of Huguang and Miao, so this New Year was very low-key, and it was only lively in the palace for a day or two at the end of December, but there was no banquet like in previous years, except for the banquet of the emperor and courtiers, the harem was calm, and this year was also calm.
