Chapter Seventy-Four: Trivial

Of course, Zhiyun and Ouyang didn't understand the wails of these two serious ancients, the two of them felt that Kangxi's words were seven points correct, this long live was still very loving when he was a child, but he was too ruthless to his children and grandchildren who grew up, and he tossed all his grandchildren enough.

He's not a man who can raise children

It's just that Kangxi himself said yes, but Ouyang couldn't say it, not only could he not say it, but he couldn't even show it, he could only keep a straight face, and there was a faint disapproval in his eyes, but he closed his mouth and didn't say a word.

Fortunately, Kangxi was lonely for a while, and then he regained his kind smile, took Honghao and Hongday's hands, and pointed them to look at the enchanting spring flowers, and the atmosphere of the peony platform became peaceful again.

After a while, Honghao and Hongyang took round hands, carried the flower basket made of wicker prepared by the people, and rushed into the flowers with big thorns.

Hongyang also said in a beautiful name - to pick off the petals to make rouge for his own mother, and to make flowers for ***, Zhiyun was suddenly helpless, people bloomed so well, so hard, but they couldn't meet the people who cherished flowers, but they were clawed.

Kangxi is very happy, he likes Hongyang's innocence, and also loves Honghao's helplessness, still infinitely indulgent to his younger brother, in recent years, he is sick, lack of energy, is already old, but the children are in the prime of life, and they are all eyeing the dragon chair, which makes him have a splitting headache, and only in front of the innocent and flawless grandchildren, can he find back the love he once had, for his children.

When the sun shone and the sky was dark, Kangxi took one last look at his grandchildren who were having fun, and left the Old Summer Palace without disturbing them.

As soon as the holy driver left, Li Wei ran back again, entered the Peony Pavilion, first picked up the purple clay pot on the jade table and poured a breath of tea, drank it happily, wiped it with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Master, today I made that 'old man' suffer a loss......

Ouyang was speechless, looked at his smiling appearance and shook his head: "Fortunately, Fujin went back to rest, otherwise you would be good-looking." Li Wei, don't keep going against Mingde, let him be unhappy, what's in it for you? ”

Li Wei scratched his head with a stupid smile, and said: "Master, don't just talk about me, obviously he looked down on the minions first, he is the champion, he is great, we have the champions of the Qing Dynasty, and there are many generations who can't be promoted as a seven-grade petty official, and the minions don't feel that they are worse than those champions." ”

Seeing that Ouyang's face was not very good-looking, Li Wei moved his eyes, changed his words, and said: "Of course, Guarjiaming is a little better than the average champion, cough cough, uh...... The slave is not a person who does not know what to do, just for the sake of the master, just don't mess with him in the future. ”

In fact, Ouyang and Li Wei both understood in their hearts, don't look at Mingde and look at Li Wei unpleasantly, but with him in the household department carrying the burden of Shangshu, Li Wei can mix so happily, if Mingde is not there one day, Li Wei's nature, not only occupies the fat shortage, but also ignores current affairs, and he would have died in the personnel dump a long time ago.

What if he has the fourth master as a backer? Could it be that the fourth master can still see the sky and stare at him. Those old fritters in the officialdom really want to play him to death, Li Wei is afraid that he will be sold and will have to give money to the people.

There are not many bosses like Mingde in the world, I think Mingde not only knows, but also has the ability to protect his subordinates, and does not take credit from the people below, even if he is very incompatible with Li Wei's sex, he is willing to stay in Mingde's position in the household department for a few more years.

Li Wei is good at wine, although he always speaks ill of Zhiyun's eldest brother, but Zhiyun is not too concerned with him, so the best spirits, with exquisite appetizers, are still sent to Peony Terrace.

Li Wei is also Ouyang's disciple, and he often accompanies Ouyang to drink, so he naturally knows that the amount of wine this lord is not very good, so he mostly pours himself and tastes An's melon slices by the master.

As soon as the wine came up, Li Wei had a lot of words. His eyes turned to Hongtian and Yuanyuan, who were playing in the peony bushes, and then glanced at the little brother Honghao who had been straightening his waist and standing not far away from reading by the railing......

It seemed that he was dizzy, Li Wei gave himself a slap gently, didn't care too much, and said with a big tongue: "Hey, master, the slave thinks about it, the minion's chaff and the little filial piety for the slave, serving the old lady at home, it's not easy, it's better these years, there was no man in the family a few years ago, the old lady is old again, and the family is run by the slave daughter-in-law inside and out, she is difficult, but she hasn't complained to the slave a word......

Ouyang turned his head and glared at Hongtian fiercely, Hongyang's hand trembled, and a circle of peony flowers fell to the ground, he stuck out his tongue, and didn't dare to mess around.

Ouyang was relieved, seeing that Li Wei was drunk and dizzy, his expression was confused, and he shouldn't have noticed anything when he thought about it, so he ordered someone to bring him a cup of sobering soup and pour it into it, but he said in his mouth: "You can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the capital now, it is better to bring the old lady, daughter-in-law, and children to the capital, they should also enjoy the blessings." ”

Li Wei sighed, a few years ago, he had this meaning, but at that time the old lady refused to leave her homeland, but now that Sun is getting older, the old lady has figured it out, worried that he and the eldest grandson are not close, after all, if there is no father in the process of growing up, it is always a pity, plus she herself wants to have a child, so she has the heart to come to the capital, but now the situation in the capital is complicated, Li Wei has become the fourth master's doorman, destined to be mixed into this troubled water, with a lot of scruples, he does not dare to easily take the old lady and daughter-in-law into the capital.

Thinking about it, Li Wei picked up the wine cup, shone it in the sun, and leaned in front of his nose to take a deep breath, and then drank it all, "Good wine, master, when the slave goes back, how about bringing a few jars to the slave, anyway, the master is not good at wine, and it is a waste to keep it." ”

Li Wei was cheeky and begged, and Ouyang was not distressed, and packed more than ten jars of all kinds of fruit wine newly brewed by Zhiyun, and packed them all for him, because Li Wei was drunk, Ouyang simply asked people to drive him back in his own car.

Only this trip to the Old Summer Palace can be regarded as to make Li Wei famous in the capital, after all, he turned around in front of Prince Yong and Long Live Lord, and Jingcha became a 'diligent duty', which has to make many officials who have not been praised red, and it is estimated that after today, there will be several times more people up and down the camp than before.

This is a later story, now there is no need to say, at this time Ouyang sent Li Wei away, and when he was free, he asked people to take the most important fold of the household department, and he glanced at it leisurely with the beautiful scenery of spring flowers.

Gao Fu cleaned up the pen and ink for him next to him, and brought a small snack over, Ouyang ate while pondering these household chores, the most important thing is naturally to set aside the silver to be used by the Imperial Court first, and the holy drive to Rehe in April, when the time comes, the gold and silver that need to be spent to reward the Mongolian prince are indispensable.

Of course, according to Ouyang's heart, the Mongolian princes are all very rich, and the cost is not much, and if they have money, they are hidden, and they can't go out at all...... Why don't you do a business with Mongolia about spirits or tobacco?

Ouyang was multitasking, thinking about how to empty the Mongols' money bags while calculating the amount of money allocated to the military department in recent years.

Now the war is silver, without the silver army is difficult to move an inch, but with the bitter cold land to fight, is only a loss but not a profit business, these years of money like running water, if not since he came, all means to make the treasury full, only this war, I am afraid that it will consume two-thirds of the treasury silver.

If all this money can be used on the soldiers, it is good, but how can there be such a good thing, the silver money that goes out of the household department, after layers of exploitation, can be left in the hands of the soldiers, and a small half can be left, that is good, it means that the people below are still modest, not greedy, really encounter something that is not good, maybe even the military salary can not be kept.

Let's just say that the fourteenth elder brother, he is young, opened the government late, and he is not like an old man who can do business, but over the years he has been jumping up and down and planning everywhere, spending money like running water, only relying on his little money and Concubine De's little private money is enough, the filial piety of the people is estimated to be far from enough to support, in the early years his day was also tight, but as soon as he became a general, his hands were immediately loosened, where did his money come from, and the discerning people knew it in their hearts, if he didn't make a fortune in the military spending, then there would be a ghost.

Ouyang shook his head, fourteen is still too young and ignorant, with Kangxi's control of the government and the opposition, he still thinks that he can do it without knowing it? With what he has done over the years, it is impossible for Kangxi to hand over that chair to him, even if he had this heart at the beginning, now it has been consumed by himself.

Now Kangxi doesn't move him, firstly, he hasn't done too much, and he doesn't do it alone, plus he is young, Kangxi just treats him as a child who has not grown up, so he is a little more tolerant of him, but these tolerances are based on the premise that he will never be the heir to the throne.

A gust of wind blew, blowing the wicker swaying outside the peony platform, Ouyang put aside the question of how his half-brother was favored, first went through last year's affairs in his mind, and then wrote a 'summary report' casually, and after writing and sweeping it, he was quite satisfied, it seems that although he is from a science background, he is still full of academic cells.

After taking care of himself for a while, he threw it to Gao Fu to take it for archiving, and in a blink of an eye, at this point, Ouyang had completely left this thick discount behind.
