Chapter One Hundred and One

Zhiyun stepped on the stone steps of the big bluestone up the mountain, put on an ink-colored glasses for Yuanyuan, now there are clouds in the sky, but the sun is still scorching, the child squints at the sky, even if it is not facing the sun, it always has a little impact on his eyesight.

"Eniang, hug"

Listening to the soft voice, Zhiyun smiled, bent down to pick up Hongxi, sat down on the chaise longue in the pavilion, and threw a few bamboo strips on the stone table next to it, and there were also on the ground.

Zhiyun occasionally gets together with them and weaves these things, she's good at it, mage, who doesn't have a pair of skillful hands?

"Eniang, Yuanyuan misses Sister Feifei and Brother Jingyu." The little girl looked at the sky and pouted, obviously she had been born a little bit like an adult, delicate and lovely, but this coquettish was still quite childlike and cute.

Zhiyun smiled and nodded her daughter's forehead, "I haven't seen you for a month, so you think about it?" Hehe, wait for tomorrow E-Niang will take you to play with them. ”

Yuan Yuan suddenly became happy, and he didn't care about maintaining his ladylike image, and grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.

If you want to say which one is the most favored in the floating city, it is undoubtedly this little princess, Honghao Hongday They are boys, especially after growing up and going to the study to study, most of the time they have to stay in the capital, and they live in the floating city very little every year, plus their identity is sensitive, sensible early, Hongyang is okay, even if Honghao is in the floating city, he can't let go, and he is always separated by a layer when he gets along with others. The students of the magic school did not stay away from him, but they were not as easy as they were with ordinary people.

So, on the contrary, she is shy and cute, Yuanyuan, who can't say a few words a day, hurts, the whole floating city up and down, she is pampered as a princess, what good things, good toys, the first thing that comes to mind is her, Zhiyun's apprentices who can handle it are more hands-on, usually spend more time with her, it can be said that this little girl has seen her since she was a child, Yuanyuan is a little shy, but she is not an indifferent girl, others are really good to her, she is also willing to get along with each other, over the years, Yuanyuan has made several friends who have a good relationship and get along well in the floating city.

This commotion lasted from the sun to the sunset, and when everything was calm and the floating city was well hidden in the sky of the capital, Zhiyun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, although the movement was a little bigger, it was not too outrageous, after all, she did not preside over it, and it was already remarkable that only this group of students could do it so properly.

The next day, Zhiyun really kept his promise and took his daughter and son to the Floating City, and now it is in chaos, the Floating City has just come, because of the movement, many buildings and the like on it are a little misplaced, and at this time a dozen people are busy restoring everything to its original state.

Zhiyun let go of his hand directly, and ran around the city with Yuanyuan, anyway, this little guy is very familiar with this place, and there will be no one in the city who doesn't know the two of them, so there is no need for Zhiyun to worry about it. As for whether it will cause trouble to the people who are busy in the Floating City, it is not Zhiyun's consideration.

"When did you come?"

As soon as he entered his exclusive alchemy laboratory, Zhiyun saw Ouyang, who was wearing a royal blue suit, sitting on a soft cowhide sofa and reading.

Ouyang raised his head when he heard the sound and saw his daughter-in-law entering the house, a smile instantly appeared on his face: "I just arrived, I originally wanted to come over with the eighth and old people, but those two people were very anxious, and they actually said that they wanted to see the customs here, and they didn't want to wait until they said anything...... But it's good that they come earlier and get acquainted with the situation earlier. ”

Ouyang couldn't help but smile secretly, it seems that no matter what identity it is, no matter how calm and self-controlled he is on weekdays, but once he encounters this kind of thing that can actually go to another world, such a wonderful, or even a little mysterious, he will not be able to hold it, if it weren't for the time and space door that only he and Zhiyun can open, those ministers who know the inside story, maybe they will sneak away every once in a while to see the freshness, if it really comes to that point, I wonder if there will be a backlog of official affairs that can't be handled?

Ouyang thought for a while, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "By the way, the eighth and the old ones haven't come to the capital here yet?" ”

"How can you?" Zhiyun squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I entered Beijing a few days ago, but I haven't been contacted yet, the two of them only asked He Qing to buy a house, in Huaishu Hutong, not far from Rongguo Mansion, the old man pretended to be a businessman, and the eighth said that his family had suffered a disaster and was the younger brother of a big family who came to the capital to make a living...... The two met on the road, because they were very close to each other and had the same surname, so they became brothers and went on the road together. ”

Now here in the Red Mansion, don't look at the prosperity of the capital, the Rongguo Mansion and other families are extravagant, and they don't treat silver as silver. But in fact, there is a lot of chaos in various places, countless people are affected by the disaster, many people flee the famine every day, and hundreds of corpses are left on the road, and the household registration system really does not work. Therefore, it is not difficult for Lao Ba and Lao to forge an identity.

Zhiyun held his chin, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, there are several times more good men in the world here in the Red Mansion than in the Qing Dynasty, there are several small pavilions in the capital, which are even more popular than the Qinglou, the eighth and the old live together like this, 'out and out of the pair', it's okay now, and after living for a long time and becoming famous, I don't know if it will be arranged by someone to make some peachy scandals?

This thought flashed in her mind, and Zhiyun couldn't help but want to laugh, so she quickly changed her mind and said, "That's right...... You have a different status now, so it doesn't matter if you leave the palace so casually? ”

"I'll rush back tomorrow morning." Ouyang yawned, put down the book in his hand, and pulled Zhiyun to sit down.

Zhiyun looked at his father-in-law carefully, he looked thinner, his clothes were a little empty on his body, his face was a little tired, and there were dark circles under his eyes, but it was not obvious, but he was still in good spirits, and his demeanor was relaxed, so it wouldn't be too troublesome.

A few days ago, I heard that there was a lot of noise in the court, and the west was not very peaceful, I was afraid that I would have to fight again, Zhiyun thought that his own BOSS would have to be in a hurry for a while, but seeing that he still has the ability to sneak around to see her, obviously, this trouble is not enough to give his own BOSS a headache.

The two of them haven't seen each other for many days, and they miss it a little, but now they are still keeping filial piety for Kangxi, so naturally they can't do anything too outrageous, and they just hold hands and say a few words of gossip, and Ouyang also casually explained the things in and out of the palace to his daughter-in-law.

During this period, several places in Huainan were affected by disasters, but in fact, it was not a major disaster, and in addition, the grain reserves in various places in various places over the years were barely sufficient, and the disaster relief work was also carried out in a very orderly manner, and it did not cause much loss.

However, Ouyang still asked all parts of the country to actively donate money and materials to support the disaster area, this kind of thing, the palace naturally has to set an example, he borrowed Zhiyun's name, first donated the queen's body of three thousand taels, and ordered the Internal Affairs Office to reduce the share of the harem, he himself also showed a thrift, and when he ate with the ministers, only four dishes and one soup were put on the table.

So, the harem palace concubines generously donated, the Eight Banners and the Manchu Dynasty military ministers also followed suit, for a time, to the government and the opposition were all admired, a little bit of the Qing Dynasty praised the peaceful and prosperous era of Haiyan Heqing, and the Yongzheng Emperor is the meaning of the ancient Ming Jun.

Ouyang is also thick-skinned, and if he is replaced by Zhiyun, he may be said to be hairy.

This can be regarded as relieving the atmosphere that had become a little tense in the imperial court.

Since Ouyang ascended the throne, he has carried out comprehensive rectification in the political, economic, and people's livelihood fields. Especially in the governance of officials, he was even more ruthless, and he rectified the somewhat lax governance of officials in the last years of Kangxi.

But this kind of thing, even if he is as capable, it is impossible to achieve it easily, and this is not something that can be done overnight, as a result, a lot of new policies, or not very new, but not very popular policies have been implemented, and the forces of all parties, between the new ministers and the old ministers, have been very unhappy.

In addition, there are more or less some political enemies who add fuel to the fire, such as the fourteenth who still refuses to settle down when he arrives in Shengjing, during this time I heard that the fourteenth and Concubine De had a very stiff quarrel, although they did not tear their faces, but it looked like they were going to be fast.

Now there is suddenly such a small but eye-catching thing inserted, which loosens the string in the hearts of a group of people.

After talking for a while, I ate the tea and snacks prepared in October, and when I got to the treetops in the moon, Zhiyun suddenly wanted to go shopping, and there were only a few festivals when I could go out at night in the Qing Dynasty, but here in the Red Mansion, the night market was very prosperous, Zhiyun simply changed into a simple lake green clothes, dressed as the little daughter-in-law of an ordinary family, and didn't even bring two children, dragging Ouyang's hand, and went out directly.

The two of them coincidentally planned to go to Lao Ba and Lao Na, since these two did not come to the door, they had to go to visit, but as a result, as soon as they arrived at Huaishu Hutong, Ouyang lifted the curtain, and Zhiyun had not yet gone down, so he was stunned.

In the alley not far ahead, there was also a carriage parked, and a girl stood behind a stone lion, this girl is not unusual, the problem is, this girl Zhiyun knows, it is Xue Baochai, but this Xue Baochai has changed too much, how can she dress up like Sister Lin?

Zhiyun blinked, how to look at it and feel awkward, I saw that Xue Baochai's face was a little pale, a lot thinner, with a pointed chin, a little light makeup, only wearing a pink and white bowl-sized palace flower and a white hosta on his hair, wearing a moon-white single dress, and a rose-red Bikan shoulder tightly wrapped on his chest.

Is this the pearl and jade sister Bao?

Zhiyun smiled dumbly, Sister Bao's charm lies in the different beauty between her and Lin Daiyu, but with such a rectification, although a beauty is a beauty, it will not be ugly, but it is really missing her previous demeanor.

Xue Baochai stood for a while, and after a while, an old man came over, came to her and said a few words.

Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, his face was a little more panicked, the old man hurriedly lowered his voice and said a few words very hurriedly, finally, Xue Baochai nodded, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put on a curtain hat for this young lady, and helped her pedal away.

When she left, the shadow of the Xue family's carriage was gone, Zhiyun and Ouyang got out of the car, strolled over, and walked to the front of the house with the bright and dangling words on the lantern, Ouyang just knocked on the door, and before his hand fell, the door creaked and opened, and the first person who came out was not the housekeeper or the other, but the face of Lao Yinyu.

When Yinyu saw that it was Ouyang, he was stunned, and his face suddenly became strange, "You...... Ahem...... "Yes, at first glance, he saw that the Long Live Lord who was supposed to stay in the Forbidden City came out, and he couldn't be surprised if he didn't want to."

Yin Yu felt bitter in his heart, why did this person come here? Not afraid of any accidents?

"Master, master, you slow down......" At this time, the little guy who was waiting behind him raised the red lantern in his hand, and ran out with a rolling belt, while running, he greeted his own master, and as a result, he saw Ouyang just before he got close, his body stiffened, plopped, and knelt on the ground: "Ah...... Minions, minions give ......"

"Alright, shut up, what do you look like in a panic." Ouyang covered his lips, coughed, waved his hand to let the little guy get up and stand aside, and then turned his head to look at Yin Yu and said, "Why did you run out and open the door by yourself?" You're not too young, don't be like a child, since you're in charge, you have to be a little bit of a master. ”

"Yo, fourth brother, when did you never forget to teach your younger brother a lesson?" Yinyu showed a little ridicule on his face, but in the end, he was afraid of Ouyang's identity, or obediently and politely let the two people into the door, and said with a smile, "Brother, didn't I hear that people said that there was a beautiful woman at home, so I was in a hurry to come and take a look, but I didn't expect ......?"

Yin Yu blinked, and put the back sentence - 'There are indeed beauties, but unfortunately, the famous flowers have masters.' This sentence was swallowed back, no matter how presumptuous he was, standing in front of him was also the emperor and the empress, in front of the emperor, saying this kind of words that could almost be called molesting the queen, he was not so bold, the current Ouyang was not the fourth master in history, and the relationship with his brothers was not stiff to the point of life and death, and he still had to pay attention to the influence.

Zhiyun smiled, and didn't mind, "What was that girl here for just now?" ”

Yin Yu smiled and invited two people into the door, and said casually: "According to their own words, the girl's father and the original owner of this house are old acquaintances, and they are here to visit, but which one will let a little girl come alone with an old servant?" This is too unruly, and Lao Lu, who opened the door for them at the beginning, said that the little lady looked inside with a pair of eyes, although she seemed calm, but Lao Lu always felt that she was flustered, and later after Lao Lu explained, the old servant still wanted to come in and ask for a cup of tea...... My brother felt that there was something wrong with this, so he came out to see it himself......"

Ouyang glanced at him, just this little eagerness just now, obviously he heard that people are beauties, so he deliberately came out to take a look in person, the reputation of the old and lustful is not a day or two, and it is only covered up now, where is it too late? .
