At the beginning of August of the 36th year of Kangxi, the five marine terminals in Hangzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin and Jinling were all completed; In mid-August, the first batch of ten seagoing ships was completed and launched at Jiangnan Shipyard; On September 13, ten sea ships loaded with grain arrived at Tianjin Wei Wharf, and the old man Kangxi was overjoyed and issued an edict to reward the relevant meritorious personnel - Yijun Wang Yinzuo rewarded a Dongzhu for meritorious service; Fourth, Baylor Yinzhen coordinates meritorious food and county kings; Wang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was a scholar of Wenhuadian University and was promoted to the minister of study; Liu Siyuan, a waiter of the Ministry of Works, is still a scholar of the Ministry of Industry; Shi Shilun was awarded the title of waiter of the Ministry of Labor and served as the director of the General Administration of Customs; Fan Shijie was promoted to the Ministry of Works; The rest of the people have their own rewards.

Dongzhu? Hey, ***, the old man is really slamming the door, and another Dongzhu will send us away, plus the two Dongzhu last time, we will be one short of becoming a prince, your old man can't be generous, one reward is not over, we can also mix a prince to do it, or reward the king of Shuangjun Yulu will also become, it is better than this quasi-prince who can neither eat nor use. Above the court, Yinzuo knelt and listened to Qin Wuyong read out the holy decree, while muttering in his stomach, it was easy to wait until the holy decree was announced, and he had to pretend to be grateful and thankful, and his heart was even more greasy, but when it came to the dispersal of the dynasty, a decree made Yinzuo's spirit lift - the old man Kangxi ordered to hunt the Mulan hunting ground on September 20.

"Mulan" is a Manchu language, that is, the meaning of whistle deer. The Mulan Hunting Ground is located in Weichang County, the northernmost part of Hebei Province, about 120 kilometers north from Chengde. According to the Qing system, the royal family has two hunting in spring and autumn every year, generally spring hunting in Nanyuan, a suburb of Beijing, autumn hunting in the Mulan paddock, the number of people participating in the hunting varies, there are tens of thousands of people, less than 1,000 people. Spring hunting in the suburbs of Beijing Nanyuan does not have much prey, and there is no fun, but it is just a formality, at most it is a large-scale spring outing, autumn hunting is different, tens of thousands of troops participate in the hunt, and the wild thing is the sea. Since the 27th year of the Kangxi Gerdan rebellion, although the spring hunt has existed, the autumn hunt has long stopped. This time, the luck was successful, and the old man Kangxi had a headache in his heart, and a will came down, and the first autumn hunt in nine years was decided.

In the early years, Yinzuo also went to the Mulan hunting ground with him to hunt, but at that time, Yinzuo had not yet opened a mansion and built teeth, and there were no soldiers under him, only to watch, although he also shot a few red deer, hares and other living creatures, in the end it was not very cool, this time Yinzuo had a lot of people and horses, but he could officially participate in the hunting, and he was a little eager to try, scattered the court, and the group of courtiers laughed for a while and hurried back to the house, along the way the heart was lively.

According to the Qing system, the autumn hunt, all the brothers who opened the house and built the teeth went, not only could they not be absent, but even their families had to bring them. At this time, Lan Yue'er is pregnant, naturally she can't move lightly, she can only rest at home, although the two little children are still breastfeeding, they can't be absent, although they can rest in the camp, they still have to go, but the problem comes out - Yinzuo has no side Fujin, Chunlan and Qiu Ju have no name so far, according to the Qing system, they can't participate in the hunt, but if they don't take the two girls, who will take care of the two little guys? Nurse? Hey, Yinzuo always insisted on breastfeeding, and he didn't invite a nurse at all. It's not a big deal, but it's always a worrying thing for Yinzuo, on the way back to the house, Yinzuo thought a lot, but he never had a clear idea, no, just got home, he talked to the two strategists.

"This matter is easy to hear, but the prince has to pay some price for it." After listening to Yinzuo's words, Wu Sidao shook the folding fan lightly and replied with a smile.

Easy? What do you mean by that? Those two girls have already entered the flag, and we have also asked for a decree, but our old man has never been able to say anything, don't you just know that those two girls are not from a good background? Yinzuo looked at Wu Sidao suspiciously, thought for a while and said: "The price is a small matter, as long as the saint can nod, the king doesn't care about spending more money." ”

Wu Sidao smiled slightly and said: "According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, the side rooms of the prince, the prince, and the prince of the county, whoever has children can be sealed for the side blessing. Now the concern is nothing more than the origin of the two ladies, why don't you let him worship a minister with status as his adoptive father, and there is a step down the saint. ”

That's right, why didn't we think of this trick, hehe, there is a door, there are a lot of minions with identities under our hands. Yinzuo was happy in his heart, and the smile on his face was much brighter, but Wu Sidao's next sentence made Yinzuo have a headache - "The candidate for this minister is not easy to decide, so that the saint can see it, and he can't ask people to be accused of colluding with courtiers in private." ”

Depend on! We have never had any personal relations with those important ministers, and it is really a bit troublesome to arrest someone to come out of the top tank at this time, who should we find? Shangshu above, we only have one Liu Siyuan in our hands, or just promoted, not to mention any prestige, once he gets too close to us, it will have a great impact on his official career, we still have a lot of use for this person, we can't just sacrifice it. Tong Guowei is not on the right path with us, that is something that cannot be counted on; Lee Kwang-di, hey, the old slippery one; Wang Luo, old-fashioned, has no place to find scolding; Marzie? Well, this goods owe us a favor and haven't been repaid yet, or will you rely on this master? Yinzuo suddenly remembered that when Ma Qi returned to Kyoto last time to make trouble, Ma Qi still owed himself a favor, although it was a pity to use this great favor like this, but now it can only be like this. Yinzuo smiled and said, "Okay, without further ado, this king will go to Maqi's mansion tonight and settle this matter." ”

When it was time to arrive, before Yinzuo went to visit Maqi's mansion, the old fourteenth Yinyu killed the door, and went straight to the house regardless of whether it was reported or not, and shouted loudly: "Sixth brother, the little brother is here." ”

Depend on! The scourge is coming again, damn, maybe there will be something missing in this home, when is it coming, this stinky boy is still knocking on the door, it's really annoying. Although Yinzuo has something in his heart, but his own eldest is here, why do you have to receive it? Otherwise, if this thing turns around and cries with Wu Yashi, Yinzuo will have to eat the head.

"Yo, the fourteenth is here, and we have to leave the day after tomorrow, if you don't prepare, why do you have time to come to my brother?" As soon as Yinzuo got the news, he hurriedly went out of the second door to greet him, and asked with a smile on his face.

"Sixth brother, isn't the little brother preparing?" Yinyu said with a nonchalant face.

Get ready? Depend on! What are you going to do? Let's get ready to come. Yinzuo was angry and funny, and he saw through the little guy's intention at a glance, and he was afraid that he was planning to rely on himself.

As Yin Zuo expected, as soon as Yinyu took a seat in the lobby, he said with a smile: "There are many people under the sixth brother, and the little brother is thinking that the harvest must be not small, hey, the little brother is small, and no one under him is called, if there is no one to win, the sixth brother's face is not good-looking, right?" So the younger brother wanted to get together with the sixth brother. ”

Depend on! What's the matter, you kid didn't gain anything, why did you become a faceless person? If you want to talk about brothers, there is not another one outside the city, why don't you go to the fourth child, dare to love is to see that we have money, and the autumn breeze is coming. Faced with the bandit logic of the old fourteenth, Yinzuo couldn't cry or laugh, and he had no choice but to smile and say: "Cheng, just go with Ming'er and the sixth brother." ”

"Hey, the sixth brother is refreshing, it's interesting enough, this time we can't let the old thirteen put a head on him." Yinyu grinned and laughed.

Old Thirteen? Well? This product has not opened a house and built teeth, where to start with this. Although Yin Zuo was puzzled in his heart, he asked with a smile on his face: "Old Thirteen? Hey, Old Fourteen, what are you talking about? ”

Yinyu snapped the folding fan in his hand, and said with an uneven face: "The thirteenth elder has borrowed a lot of manpower from the fourth brother a long time ago, hey, what are you going to show when the time comes, the sixth brother doesn't know?" ”

Depend on! The thirteenth is still closer to the fourth when he arrives at the bottom, and some things are not forced. The old fourteen seems to be unbalanced in his heart, hey, I plan to say goodbye to the old thirteen completely, it's very good, let's help him also muddy the water. Yinzuo's mind moved quickly, but there was still a smile on his face, and he said happily: "The sixth brother doesn't know about this, but the sixth brother will not let you suffer, don't worry, it's up to the sixth brother." ”

"Okay, the sixth brother is interesting enough, and the younger brother will thank you first. Ah, I almost forgot that there is one more thing...... "Yinzuo stopped halfway through the sentence, looking at Yinzuo with a blank eye, which made Yinzuo's heart feel weak for a while, and he couldn't figure out what kind of crooked idea this thing was playing, and his eyes rolled and said: "Old fourteen, they are all their own brothers, if you have something to say, you might as well talk about it." ”

"Hey, this is what the sixth brother said, the younger brother thanked him first, the younger brother took a fancy to a piece of jade, and saw that Eniang's birthday was approaching, so he pondered to surprise Eniang, but the younger brother was tight, hey......" Yinyu said with a smile.

Damn, the autumn wind is fought confidently, admire, admire, this goods are definitely the work of the horses. Yinzuo was angry and funny in his heart, but he didn't care much about money, so he smiled and said: "Cheng, no problem, how many silver taels do you want, and the sixth brother will let the account room sort it out." ”

"Not much, that's 100,000 taels."

Erh, not much? Dare to love us to become the ATM of this goods, damn. Yinzuo was in a hurry to go to Maqi's mansion to do business, and secondly, Yinzuo didn't care much about 100,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, and it was worth spending money to buy the little brother of the old fourteen, so he smiled and beckoned the family outside the hall and asked him to go to the account room to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver tickets and give it to the old fourteen.

The old fourteen left satisfied, Wu and Lin walked out of the back hall, smiling and looking very happy, Yinzuo looked at the two of them a little confused, and didn't understand what they were laughing at - what is there to celebrate after being knocked back by the old fourteen?

"Lord Wang, the thirteenth master and the fourteenth master are going to appear on stage, and the fourteenth master is here to form an alliance with the prince." Lin Xuanyi said with a smile.

Stage? It's just two little children, and their hair hasn't grown together, which stage is it? At this time, the thirteenth and fourteenth are only eleven or twelve years old, although they are very precocious, but it is still early to turn fifteen years old and listen to the government, what kind of big scene can be stirred up? Yin Zuo looked at Lin Xuanyi with some incomprehension.

"This matter must come out of the holy will, Mulan will definitely see it when she hunts, according to Yulu, the old fourteen is also a useful chess piece, the prince just needs to treat it with a normal heart." Wu Sidao flicked his beard and said.

Hey, the general king, of course it's a useful chess piece, but history has long been unrecognizable at this time, and it's hard to say whether there is a general or not, but the old fourteen is very ambitious, I'm afraid it's not so easy to control, no matter what, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, just walk and see. Yinzuo didn't think much about the old fourteen, talked a little with Wu and Lin, asked his subordinates to prepare some gifts, went out, and took a big sedan chair and went straight to Maqi's mansion.

Comrade Lao Ma is a cautious person, not only never in private with his brothers, but also with other courtiers, although there are many protégés and former officials, most of them have to eat behind closed doors when they come to visit his house. At this time, Comrade Lao Ma had just had dinner and was recuperating in the study, when he suddenly heard a report from someone - King Yijun was visiting, his heart was excited, and he sat up straight suddenly, his face full of doubts: The sixth elder brother has never interacted with the courtiers, and even the banquet is not polite. But everyone has already arrived at the mansion, and it is really impossible not to receive it, just Yinzuo's character who refuses to suffer, if he sweeps his face, I am afraid that there will be no good fruit to eat. Comrade Lao Ma was in a daze in the study, and finally ordered his subordinates to open the middle door, and he went to greet him personally.

Hey, this old boy opened the middle door widely, very grand, and looked open, but he didn't let people gossip, he was really old, interesting. Yinzuo was very clever, he saw through Ma Qi's motives at a glance, and he didn't reveal it, and greeted Ma Qi with a smile on his face: "Haha, I'm really sorry to disturb Master Ma so late." ”

"King Yijun is polite, I don't know what the prince has to say?" Ma Qi politely bowed at the gate.

"Hehe, Lord Ma doesn't invite this king to come in and sit?" Yinzuo said with a smile.

"Please be inside, prince." Ma Qi saw that Yinzuo refused to explain his intentions, so he had to welcome Yinzuo into the study first, and sit down with the guests.

The tea is very ordinary, and Yinzuo's taste can't look at the tea that Ma Qi asked people to send, but if he has something to ask for, he has to take a few sips, his tender throat is tender, and he fakes a cough and says: "Master Ma, this king has something to ask for today." ”

Yinzuo has never asked for help, this situation Ma Qi is clear, with Yinzuo's status and status can not do something is definitely a big deal, Ma Qi did not have the courage to accept it, so he had to think about it and said: "The prince has something to say, the lower officials listen to it." ”

Hey, this product is really slippery, and he speaks without leaking, damn, you have to help if you don't help me today, I will rely on you tonight. Yinzuo pretended to sigh and said: "The turmoil at the beginning of the year was mostly due to the help of Lord Ma, and this king has not thanked Lord Ma, and there is something to ask for at this time, which is really difficult to say." ”

Yinzuo's words have to be listened to in reverse, but Yinzuo helped Ma Qi at the beginning, and Ma Qi also knew it in his heart, and when he heard Yinzuo mention the original matter, his heart sank a little, and he was silent for a long time before saying: "The prince has something to do, but it's okay to talk about it, see if the lower officials can help." ”

Hey, if you want to say that you are old, this is not a big deal, but it is a little bad for your old reputation, but we can't help it, right? For the sake of our children, I have to trick you to get old. Yinzuo pretended to be embarrassed, lowered his head and sighed: "Speaking of this, this king is distressed, this king has two babies, but the child's mother has never had a name, and this king feels uncomfortable." ”

Ma Qi looked at Yinzuo suspiciously, and he didn't know what Yinzuo was trying to do when he ran to his house to complain about this suffering, he was the head of the household, and he couldn't control the Zongren Mansion, and he had nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, even if Yinzuo wanted to complain, he should find Prince Jian or the third elder brother, what was the use of finding him to complain about the head of the household?

Ma Qi didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't speak, just listened silently. Yinzuo changed his words and said: "My mother of two babies has been dead since she was a child, and she has no one to rely on, alas, she can't even go to her relatives and go back to her parents' home, it's really ......."

Ma Qi is a shrewd person, and at this point he finally understood what Yinzuo wanted to do, his heart sank suddenly, and his hand, which was originally lightly brushing his long beard, tightened his hand, and broke more than a dozen whiskers, looked at Yinzuo with a wry smile, shook his head and said: "The prince is going to roast the lower officials on the fire." ”

Hey, I'm sorry Comrade Ma, you should always mourn and change, we are relying on you. Yinzuo said with an embarrassed look: "This king has no choice, I just think that Master Ma has always been merciful, and he will not watch the lonely woman suffer and ignore it, and this king will not force it, just use it in the name of Lord Ma, and it will never have anything to do with it." ”

Even the favors owed by the family before the head moved out, is this still called forced? But seeing Yinzuo's scoundrel who didn't agree to me if you didn't agree, Ma Qi couldn't cry or laugh, so he was helpless, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "It's okay, it's okay for the next official to accept two righteous daughters, and the lower officials can't help other things." ”

Hehe, it's done, with Comrade Ma's words, let's settle the rest immediately. Yinzuo's treacherous plan succeeded, and he didn't stay long, and he slipped away after thanking him, leaving only Comrade Lao Ma alone in the mansion in a daze, not knowing whether this matter was a blessing or a curse.
