The eighth master and the fourth master live next door, and the two of them run errands together, so they will go out of the palace together.

"Fourth brother, do you think these officials are too bold?" The eighth master said casually.

"Hold the bold to death, starve the faint to death." A sneer flashed in the fourth master's eyes, and he said, "If we all abide by our duties, there will not be so many corrupt officials since ancient times." ”

"That's right. But if it's a governor of one side, he still has a great future, so why take risks? The eighth master said again.

The fourth master paused and glanced sideways at him, "What does the eighth brother want to say?" ”

"Fourth brother, do you remember that younger brother went to Yangzhou on an errand?" Eight Masters said.

"Well, I remember. Didn't you come back and pay the Emperor Amma? The fourth master asked.

"Fourth brother, do you know why Huang Ama died in the end?" The eighth master asked again.

The fourth master fell silent. Of course he remembered the events of that year. That was the first time that the eighth master went out on an errand alone. At that time, he still wondered why he didn't give the eighth master more people, so that he could take care of it. Later, the eighth master returned, and he was also rewarded by Huang Ama, but the results of the errand were not made public. No one knows what the eighth master went to Yangzhou to investigate, but he only said that he was ordered by Huang Ama. But if it was really a secret decree, why did he let the eighth master go with great fanfare at the beginning, and finally gave him a clear reward?

At that time, many people had doubts in their minds. But this question cannot be asked. As time passed, the incident was forgotten. Now that the eighth master suddenly mentioned it, he didn't know what it meant.

"Fourth brother, sometimes what the officials below do does not mean that it is their own will." The eighth master meant something.

"Eighth brother, Huang Ama only allows the outcome of things to be within a certain range, so we have to follow Huang Amma's wishes." The fourth master said.

The eighth master looked at the fourth master, smiled, and said, "The fourth brother really understood this truth earlier than me. ”

The fourth master also smiled and didn't speak, but he thought in his heart that he had been reborn for a lifetime. If you can't even understand such a little truth, the emperor of more than ten years has done it in vain.

"Eighth brother, it's rare to be confused." The fourth master patted the eighth master's shoulder.

"But fourth brother, it's not a good thing to let go." Eight Masters said.

"Huang Ama may not have counted in his heart." The fourth master smiled. The eighth child in the previous life would not have a heart-to-heart with him. The old man saw that such an opportunity was to secretly add fuel to the fire, and even take advantage of it.

"Forget it, I'm worrying about it for nothing." The eighth master smiled self-deprecatingly. It's not him who is the emperor, and it's useless for him to worry about it here.

"Let's go, go to the Fourth Brother's Mansion for a drink! Your fourth sister-in-law's osmanthus brewed last year happened to be opened today. The fourth master said.

"Good! Drink and go! "The eighth master is too lazy to think about these things. As the fourth master said, Kangxi may not have counted in his heart. When it's time to solve it, it will be solved. It's just that the things in his study still have to be kept, maybe they will work one day.

"Chen Guo, go back and talk to the Mao family, don't wait for the master to eat at noon." The eighth master commanded.

"Yes, Lord Belle, the minion will go back and say." Chen Guo hurriedly responded.

The fourth master watched Chen Guo trot away all the way, and asked the eighth master with a smile: "Or is it the same Gege who saved you in Chengde back then?" ”

The eighth master smiled and said, "Well, it's still her." Originally, I promised to go back to the court today last night to accompany her and the child to lunch. ”

"Oh, your family Hongwang was also born to her." The fourth master nodded and said, "The eighth brother didn't think about asking her to be given a side blessing?" ”

"Of course I did. It's just that the timing is not right now. The eighth master said helplessly. This year, there have been various things since the beginning of the year. He waited for Mao Tongtong to ask for the seal after giving birth, but he caught up with Chengde again. I've been busy since I returned from Chengde in a hurry, and I haven't had a chance to talk about it at all.

"The eighth brother has a heart for her." The fourth master said.

The eighth master smiled: "She is a big person and has a simple brain. I don't care a little bit about her, and I don't know what it will be. ”

The fourth master smiled and stopped talking about this topic. These brothers who are married, who doesn't have a hearty person in the backyard? Some are favored by Fujin, such as him and the eldest brother, and some are favored by Gege and side Fujin, such as the prince and the eighth master. They are on the go every day, and they just want to relax when they come home. Most of the women who are willing to pet are also sensible, and few have to be protected everywhere. When the eighth master said this, he was really heartfelt, and he couldn't help but think about it everywhere.

Mao Tongtong got the news here and asked the small kitchen to eat. She got up late in the morning, thinking that she would have lunch with the eighth master at noon, so she didn't use much, she would have been hungry for a long time.

"Did Lord Belle say that he would like to take a lunch break in a while?" Mao Tongtong asked.

"Back to Gege, Lord Belle didn't command." Chen Guo replied.

"Okay, I see, you can get busy." Mao Tongtong said.

Chen Guo made a thousand calls and left.

Mao Tongtong thought about it and instructed Qingzhu: "Prepare some decanting soup in a while, and then prepare some hot water, I'm afraid that the master will use it in case." ”

The eighth master sometimes likes to drink two glasses, but the amount of alcohol is not too good. If you really want to fight together, she can't even drink it. Every time I drank too much, I hated the smell of alcohol, so I had to take a bath. Therefore, you must have both decanting soup and hot water.

After instructing this, Mao Tongtong had lunch but took a nap first, and did not make a special trip to wait for the eighth master to return. She didn't wake up until the sun went down.

"Didn't you come?" Mao Tongtong said.

"Lord Belle has returned home, but I went to see Mrs. Zhang." Qingzhu replied.

"Something happened to Mrs. Zhang?" Mao Tongtong asked. The reason why she asked this was because since Zhang's pregnancy to the present, the eighth master had never taken a look, and he didn't even give him anything. I don't know, I thought that Zhang was pregnant with someone else's child. If I look at it for the first time today, it can only be an accident.

"It's red." Qingzhu Road.

"How? Doesn't she rest in the house every day? Mao Tongtong was surprised.

Qingzhu lowered his voice and said, "I heard that when I went to the main courtyard to ask for peace today, I was knocked down by Qi Gege. ”

"Huh?" Mao Tongtong was stunned for a moment, Qi Jiashi doesn't seem to be the kind of person who will deliberately make things bad!

"It was said to be fine. Somehow, it bleeds. When Mrs. Liu went to the main courtyard to ask Fujin to call the house doctor to take a look, she happened to bump into Lord Belle, so Lord Belle also went to see it. Qingzhu said again.

"What about Zieger?" Mao Tongtong said.

Qingzhu shook his head, "The slave doesn't know. ”

"Let's go, let's go see Mrs. Zhang." Mao Tongtong said. Anyway, the two had a bit of a deal with each other in the summer.

"Fu Jin, this seems to be there." Qingzhu said.

"Right here, I'm just going to take a look at Zhang." Mao Tongtong didn't care.
