The little eunuch smiled: "Master knows that you want to say this, he asked me to tell you, you will never think that Master put you next to Master De, just like this." ”

Gonggong Meng looked at him quietly.

The little eunuch shook his head slightly, looking like a son who could not be taught: "Master is also for your good, the more the master is favored by the emperor, the higher your status will be." ”

Meng Gong said fairly: "You are newly accepted by the master?" ”

The little eunuch said, "My name is Wei Zhu, and I am indeed the master's new apprentice. ”

Wei Zhu said with a smile: "Master said, there is a senior brother in front of me, named Meng Deyi, who works beside Master De, let me walk around with my senior brother more." ”

After Meng Deyi listened, he took his hand out of his sleeve, handed over twenty taels of silver, and said, "I came out in a hurry today, I didn't bring anything, and I will give you a meeting gift next time." ”

Wei Zhu said: "No, no, I have to rush back." ”

Wei Zhu said again: "Master also said that although the senior brother is now serving the master of De, our masters are all emperors, and you have to distinguish the importance clearly." ”

Meng Deyi sighed: "You tell Master, I know." ”

Lianxin handed out the food box, and Wei Zhu asked the little eunuch who was standing far away to step forward and take the food box, and then left.

Lianxin asked him, "What are you talking about?" ”

"I'm saying that the master is so stubborn, where can I get anything good."

Lianxin laughed: "Although you have known your master for a long time, after all, you don't have as much time as us serve your master. Master, she's such a character. ”

"Lotus Heart." Ruri shouted.

"Here we are." Lotus Heart went in.

Meng Deyi clasped his hands in his sleeves and looked at the sky.

The sky in the Forbidden City is getting colder and colder.

Lianxin came out after a while, and asked Meng Deyi to take the eunuch to divide the food sent by Kangxi.

Lianxin snorted his hand and said, "The master has a bad appetite, so I will eat one or two bites of the same dish, and let us share the rest." ”

Meng Deyi nodded.

Lianxin said, "The master said that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, give us a holiday." Just let me and Liuli stay, you all go down and rest, something will naturally call you. ”

Meng Deyi responded, and asked people to prepare all the things that should be prepared tonight, and then left.

Umalus had the door shut and beckoned them in to make a fire with them.

There was a fire in the house.

Umalu leaned on the couch and flipped through the book, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard for the past few days. ”

"It's not hard." Lianxin smiled, "How hard is it to do things for the master." ”

Umalu nodded: "Liuli, you and Lianxin go to my private vault and sample what you like." ”

Liuli hurriedly got up and said, "Master, this is not in line with etiquette. ”

Umalu smiled quietly: "You have been busy for a year, and you deserve it." Tomorrow's reward will be paid, and you two will have to work hard. ”

Liuli said: "It's what the minions should do." ”

Umalu nodded: "You have been with me for so long, and you deserve to do what you do." ”

Lianxin pulled the glass, and the glass responded.

Umalu looked at it in his eyes, and then said, "Let Meng Deyi go with you to choose one." ”

"Yes."

Umalu paused and said: "I remember that in the gift list you gave me a few days ago, there was a light blue and white step, send it to Yin Shuang'er, she followed me and has always done her duty." ”

"Yes."

After thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing to say.

Umalus continued to flip through the books.

On the second day, on the first day of the first month of the nineteenth year of Kangxi, Liuli asked someone to prepare a reward early in the morning.

Reward according to the level of position.

ten taels of ordinary miscellaneous palace servants; twenty taels for the master who walked before him; If they serve their masters closely, or they are in charge of the palace, they are thirty-five taels per person.

As for the extra reward given to them by the master yesterday, it is a private matter, and it does not need to be put on the surface.

Umalu is not in good health, so he naturally does not show his face, but he still wants them to take care of the kindness of his master.

Liuli said: "In the past year, there have been merits and deeds, the master is benevolent, and he doesn't care, just write off." I hope that everyone will be able to do their part in the coming year. ”

"Yes."

Liuli led everyone outside the house and saluted into the house.

That's what makes people leave.

Liuli stopped Yin Shuang'er and asked her to follow her to get the pale cyan cloth.

Yin Shuang'er was surprised: "Master...... The master is still thinking about the minion......"

Liuli nodded: "The master is affectionate, and there is us in his heart, so you don't want to disappoint the master." ”

Yin Shuang'er hugged the cloth and nodded fiercely: "Yes." ”

Ruri waved her down.

Lianxin looked at her back and sighed, "Her eyes are red." ”

"It's good to be young."

Liuli patted her: "Let's go." ”

Although Lianxin followed, she muttered in her mouth: "I heard that the fifth elder brother is going to be raised under the name of Master Tong." ”

"The one with a respected status in the palace is also the master Tong."

Lian Xin sighed: "After all, Master Tong came from the emperor's mother's family. ”

Liuli persuaded: "Okay, don't talk about this." ”

She changed her words: "Our master is now more than eight months pregnant, so let's let the midwife prepare some." ”

"Don't worry, I've already called someone to register."

Liuli nodded, and the two went back to the house, and saw a palace maid waiting in the house, and after glancing at each other, they nodded slightly, stepped forward, and asked the palace maid to withdraw.

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Umalu gave birth to an elder brother, and when the confinement was out, Liang Jiugong personally came and walked and sent some rewards, and there was a screen of ten thousand blessings and hundreds of sons in the middle.

Liang Jiugong glanced left and right.

Umalu asked Ruri and the others to step down.

Liang Jiugong sighed: "Master De, the whole world belongs to the emperor, why do you bother." ”

Umalu was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know what Chief Liang means. ”

Liang Jiugong sighed: "The emperor has you in his heart, you are like this, why do you call the emperor to deal with himself?" ”

"Lansheng Empty Valley, no one is self-congratulating. Gou is not a ghost, who will be with him. Umalu said softly, "I know that Manager Liang has good intentions, so I'm sorry for you to leave this time." ”

Liang Jiugong shook his head slightly and retreated.

Liuli stuffed the tip.

Liang Jiugong glanced at the door, and said indifferently: "You, persuade the master more." ”

"Yes."

Liang Jiugong turned and left.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi had just finished practicing calligraphy and asked him, "How is it?" ”

"Master Virtue thanks."

Kangxi said flatly: "Liang Jiugong, what I like is your honest duty." ”

Liang Jiugong heard Kangxi claim to be like this, and knew in his heart that Kangxi was angry, so he hurriedly lowered his head, smiled humbly, and said: "Master De said, "Lansheng is empty, and no one is self-congratulating." Gou is not a ghost, who will be with him. The minion didn't understand what it meant, so he didn't say anything.

Kangxi smiled and said, "You don't understand, but she does." ”

Kangxi threw the pen in his hand and sneered: "She compares herself to Yu Lan, I want to see how noble she can be." ”

He scoffed: "It's just a concubine." ”

Liang Jiugong listened, bowed his head and remained silent.
