[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 44
Dai Duo calmed down, he already knew that Lord Belle valued Wen Liang, so he shouldn't be surprised now.
Wen Liang looked at Dai Duo with indifferent eyes and said, "Brother Dai, do you have something to look for?" Otherwise, there is no reason to wait for nearly two quarters of an hour.
Dai Duo cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Wen is right, Dai has indeed something to discuss with Brother Wen, why not go to my place?" Wen Liang nodded without refusing, and followed Dai Duo to Dai Duo's place place.
Zhu Bao honestly stayed outside. Ever since he was seasick during his southern tour, he always felt that his status was not guaranteed. When he came back, he almost always stayed behind Wen Liang, even when he went out. follow.Lu felt that Wen Liang didn't refuse, and didn't say anything.
Dai Duo was relieved to see that Wen Liang's expression hadn't changed since he came in.Originally, inviting Wen Liang was just a matter of utterance. After speaking, Dai Duo recalled that Wen Liang's current identity is completely different from before. Take it to heart.As in the past, Wen Liang has always had such a personality.
If it weren't for Lord Baylor's support, there must be some people who provoke Wen Liang nowadays.In the final analysis, it was because Wen Liang didn't care about achievements at all in the past, and others never knew what he did.When a student is alive, he hopes to gain fame and fame, and no matter how bad he is, he also serves the country, hoping to give advice to the superior.In the end, it all fell on the false name of the real place, but Wen Liang didn't care about it at all.
He never takes the initiative to make friends with the people in the front yard. He has a solitary personality, and he never taboos those obvious old customs when getting along with others, and he has always been so frank.Like an unworldly gentleman.
Dai Duo likes a cool personality, regardless of gender.He knew in his heart that the master must have appreciated him a lot because of this.Not everyone can stand in front of Yinzhen consistently, never speak falsely, and never regret or doubt.
"You should think about yourself." Dai Duo gave up what he was going to say, looked at Wen Liang seriously, and said persuasively, "I don't know why you have been refusing to reveal your actual achievements. Now Long Live and Baylor Master always values you so much, Wen Liang, as long as you want it, it's something you can get at your fingertips."
Wen Liang looked at Dai Duo indifferently, "That's not what I want."
Dai Duo shook his head and sighed, looked at Wen Liang, and endured the dissuasion that welled up in his throat. He still remembered what Wen Liang said back then, and all he did was the choice he wanted.As for other people's coercion, if Wen Liang didn't do it voluntarily, no one would be able to coerce him, and there are too few people who are not tempted by glory and wealth.
In fact, Dai Duo was wrong. It is useless to seduce Wen Liang with glory and wealth, but using other methods to seduce Wen Liang is a good move, such as... expanding the library, collecting a series of books, etc. Yinzhen has already practiced this.
The topic stopped here, and Dai Duo moved to other places on the boundary of the debate in time, and returned to the business that Dai Duo originally wanted to talk about.
"Brother Wen, you said earlier that the emperor's decision has not changed, and Lord Belle should advance bravely. Now according to the emperor's situation, maybe at this age..." Dai Duo stretched out his hand and compared the numbers, "If Lord Belle is too early If you show your sharpness, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future."
Wen Liang nodded, agreeing with Dai Duo's statement, "That's true, Lord Baylor is now quite valued by Lord Long Live, if it continues like this, it will indeed attract more and more attention."
"However, this is not how it was said." Wen Liang dipped in water and wrote the word "Prince" on the table, and tapped it with his fingertips, "The prince is the first son of the emperor to be preserved, unless At the most critical moment, the emperor cannot choose to give up on him." Wen Liang said pointedly.
Dai Duo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that Wen Liang was referring to the abolition of the prince.The emperor was indeed disappointed with the prince Yinreng, but it was far from the time to abolish the prince, and the process would take at least several years to be shaken.This is almost a necessary process, so Dai Duo's strategy from the very beginning is to boil the frog in warm water, hide his edge and act in a low-key manner.
"Dai Duo, you forgot one thing." Wen Liang called Dai Duo by his full name directly, "If you don't stand out in everything, how can you guarantee that in the end Long Live Lord will definitely choose you?"
As Wen Liang knows, in history, people in the world have thousands of theories about Yinzhen's succession to the throne. The most blatant rumors are that he seeks power to usurp the throne, takes away his brother's position, and swings his sword at his brother.Except for Thirteen, the other elder brothers were either imprisoned or seized power and imprisoned, and none of them had any good endings.A few years before Yinzhen's ascension to the throne, the turbulent torrent never stopped, it was the torrent left over from the last years of Kangxi to seize the throne.
Wen Liang wanted to assist Yinzhen, so he wanted him to ascend the throne dignifiedly, instead of leaving it for a later date, which aroused a lot of discussion in the world!
Dai Duo frowned, and wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Wen Liang's gesture, "According to your method, if the Lord can ascend the throne, it's just God's pity, and I never do things based on luck." Wen Liang didn't believe the so-called luck.As the saying goes, time does not live, and heaven rewards hard work. How many people bow down to this sentence, and how many people firmly believe that man will conquer the sky and be unremitting?
Everything needs a price, everything needs to be paid, after all, it is not the endless patience that can get the result.
Dai Duo licked his chapped lips, gnawed at the thin layer of skin and said, "Brother Wen, I have no advantage in the eyes of Lord Long Live. Whether it is now or in the future, if you follow your method, the difficulties that Lord Baylor will face But more than one or two."
Wen Liang said calmly, "Brother Dai, from your point of view, among these princes, who will be the most difficult opponent for the Lord?"
Dai Duo immediately said, "Prince Zhijun!" The crown prince's decline is obvious, no matter who is an adult prince, it is impossible for the crown prince to completely repair the crack.If the prince really has the aura of overlord in the world, or is an emperor through the ages, he will naturally be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.But Yinfeng is not.
Wen Liang shook his head, dipped in water and wrote another word.
Eight.
Dai Duo was shocked, looking at the words on the table with deep doubts, he looked up at Wen Liang, "Brother Wen, even though Babeile is a corporal of virtuous people, not everyone likes this way of doing things right and wrong." Not to mention that there is no useful force behind Babeile, only Bafujin's natal family is there, which is far behind Yinyi.
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly, "Long live Lord, he never thought about it at this time, so why didn't Babeile succeed?" Woolen cloth.
Dai Duo and Wen Liang had been arguing from noon to night, and it was not over until Dai Duo was beating a drum in his belly. Dai Duo was barely convinced by Wen Liang's argument, and he also knew what Wen Liang meant.
Because of Yangzhou Tongli's rescue, Kangxi was very gentle towards Yinzhen at this time, and because of Wen Liang's relationship, this was another level.The nervousness and vigilance of the four sons at that time, Kangxi will only become a good thing in retrospect.Although it was an accident, with this incident, Yinzhen could at least be valued by Kangxi for several years.
This is also a strange place for people. When you have never paid attention to it, no matter how big you do it, there will be no trace.But when it is discovered, even the smallest things will be infinitely magnified and become the focus of attention.
It is at this moment that Yinzhen is in Kangxi.Of course warm and cool too.
In August of the 42nd year of Kangxi, the Suo'etu case was completely settled, and the power of the princeling faction fell into a slump. During this period, the performance of Zhijun Wang was the most eye-catching, even in the court.Emperor Kangxi still paid attention to the situation of the prince from time to time, and tried his best.He even praised the prince in front of the court officials at a small court meeting on a certain day, praising him as his most proud son.All of these things are top-level things. The lives of ordinary people are still ordinary, and they can do what they have to do.
One morning in August, Wen Liang took people out of the mansion to inspect the situation of the shops under the name of Zhenbei Le Mansion.After wandering outside for half a day, before Wen Liang returned to the mansion, he stopped the carriage on a street one street away from Zhenbei Le's mansion.
Wen Liang got off the carriage, and the attendants followed Wen Liang's movements, and the group soon stopped in front of a small stall selling calligraphy and painting on the corner of the street.The stall owner was a middle-aged scholar who looked very thin. Seeing some customers coming, his eyes naturally fell on a few of them.
Wen Liang waved his hand, and the people behind him backed away a little, instead of standing by the side.The street is noisy, and the distance is just too close to hear the sound of talking.Wen Liang picked out the calligraphy and paintings on the booth, and said casually, "Could it be because of XX's previous indulgence that you always thought that XX wouldn't do anything to you?"
Wen Liang chose a copy of calligraphy and painting, and his indifferent eyes fell on the scholar, "To monitor a certain person, we should pretend to be in place."
The scholar's booth appeared in May, and there was no difference in behavior or the appearance of the booth every day.Wen Liang noticed him because of his flaws.
Wu Ren shouldn't be writing, Wen Liang has read Wu Ren's handwriting.When Wen Liang was looking for a middleman to rent a house in Liumian Hutong and signed it, Wen Liang had seen Wu Ren's signed document among the piles of papers.
The scholar's body stiffened following Wen Liang's words, looking at Wen Liang seemed to be looking at a wolf or tiger, but besides that, there seemed to be an inexplicable expectation mixed in.
The scholar Wu Ren's lips trembled twice, and he looked down at the calligraphy and painting, "Your surname is Wen?" Wen Liang put down the calligraphy and painting in hand, and looked carefully at the stall again. Wu Ren has a good handwriting, "Yes and How? If not, so what?"
Wen Liang didn't admit it directly, but these words seemed to really ignite the expectation in Wu Ren's heart. He said hopefully, "Do you remember that in 13, when you were outside Guangzhou, you once rescued a fainted orphan?"
Wen Liang was slightly startled, meeting Wu Ren's excited eyes, as if recalling a certain fragment in his memory.
After a long silence, Wen Liang said, "Are you the orphan back then?"
Hearing Wen Liang's words, Wu Ren was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and nodded vigorously, "It was me. Back then, you fed me water and stuffed warm cakes to protect my heart. Save me. It was you who saved me." At the end, Wu Ren was a little lost. Although the person who saved him was a girl, after thinking for a long time, Wu Ren was still half-ascertained that Wen Liang was the one at the time. the man!Perhaps it was because he was on the verge of death that he might have misjudged the person.
The cool and cool voice sounded, and people felt chills in their hearts, "You are wrong. At the beginning, I just found your wayfinding and identity certificate, and I saved you just by hand. In truth, I am just a thief."
Wen Liang spoke frankly and straightforwardly, and Wu Ren didn't feel entangled in hearing it. He said frankly, "I don't care about this. You saved me at the beginning, let me go a few years ago, and let me go again in Yangzhou. You saved me three times , I owe you three lives."
Wen Liang frowned slightly, and began to discuss seriously, "I will take your guide and save your life. This is worth it once. A few years ago, when you let me in the house, I let you go. This is another time, barely counted." , you owe me your life at most." In Yangzhou, the feeling of Wu Ren Jinpen washing his hands was not fake, and Wen Liang didn't really want to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so he would never arrest anyone he saw.From Wen Liang's point of view, this time is not counted.
Wu Ren saw what Wen Liang was going to say, and said before he could say the last sentence, "I know you won't believe me, and you won't think highly of the loyalty of us grassroots. I owe you three lives, and I owe you three lives before paying off. I won’t go. If you want to catch me, of course you can. I owe you my life, and it can be paid off.”
Wen Liang blinked, really unable to understand this heroic feeling, he lowered his head and picked up a calligraphy and painting, trying to use it as a substitute for saving his life.To no avail, Wen Liang walked away expressionlessly.
Zhu Bao looked at Wen Liang and walked back to the carriage, looked at Wen Liang's appearance and said, "Sir, is that person rude to you?" Feeling a little bit, although Wen Liang looks expressionless now, he is just a little depressed.
Wen Liang got into the car, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "Send someone to watch him, don't worry about it, go back."
Zhu Bao nodded yes.
The carriage had just stopped at the gate of the mansion, and before Wen Liang got out of the car, he heard Zhang Qilin's voice, "Sir, there is an invitation from the palace, and now this person has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." Wen Liang opened the curtain and looked Seeing the appearance of Zhang Qilin standing outside the carriage waiting, there was indeed an anxious look on his face.
Wen Liang got out of the car and looked back at the things in the carriage. They were things he brought back from the shop. He wanted to experiment a little bit now, but now he couldn't.
"You go back first, just change your clothes." Wen Liang walked towards the mansion.
Zhang Qilin didn't dare to stop him, so he sent someone to inform the eunuch who was still waiting, and then trotted behind Wen Liang.As soon as the master went out on the front foot, the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace came on the back foot, saying that the emperor has invited him.Zhang Qilin sent people to look for them, but they always missed them, let alone Wen Liang stayed on the street for a quarter of an hour.When the person finally appeared, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Qilin's back.
After all, Wen Liang has no background and is just Yinzhen's aide.Even if he really did something during the southern tour that attracted Emperor Kangxi's attention, but after several months, the impression of this matter has gradually disappeared.Originally, it was a strange thing for Emperor Kangxi to think of Wen Liang again, but Wen Liang did not stay in the mansion directly, delaying it for an entire hour!This made Zhang Qilin not in a hurry, if Mr. Wen turned his head and angered the emperor, and he was gone, how would he explain to Lord Baylor? !
How anxious Zhang Qilin was behind him, how calm Wen Liang was. After returning to the house and changing into more suitable clothes, he slowly came out of the house, facing the bright sunlight that filled the courtyard, and even asked Lu Yi to leave before leaving. The things that will be delivered later are easy to arrange.Such an indifferent attitude also made Zhang Qilin calm. Without him, since Mr. Wen himself is not in a hurry, what is the use of Zhang Qilin being anxious?
The eunuch who delivered the decree from the palace was a fat eunuch in his 30s. Although he had been waiting in the mansion for more than an hour, he was still smiling and never showed it.But Zhang Qilin came out of the palace, knowing that this kind of old fritters is the most face-saving, when he came over to deal with him, he secretly handed over a thin purse.
The eunuch who passed the decree took it secretly, pinched the soft touch, and smiled deeper.This thin silver bill is always more likely to come than heavy silver.
Wen Liang got into the carriage sent by the palace and sat in the carriage.The eunuch who passed the decree sat happily outside, and the small convoy quickly rushed towards the imperial city.Amidst the clattering of horseshoes, Wen Liang continued to close her eyes and meditate.
Qing Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Kangxi was correcting the memorial at hand, and he had read it for nearly a quarter of an hour, but at the end, Emperor Kangxi still couldn't help throwing the memorial out, and leaned casually on the back of his chair.Liang Jiugong hurried up to knead Emperor Kangxi's shoulders. Lord Long Live had kept the same posture for a long time, and now his neck was sore.
"Liang Jiugong, why hasn't Wen Liang come yet?" Emperor Kangxi noticed the sun outside, and it was almost noon.The person who was invited in the morning has not yet arrived.
Liang Jiugong said in a low voice, "It must be delayed on the road again."
Emperor Kangxi sneered, "As far as the distance from the palace road is concerned, if something can happen to anyone, you don't have to stand here." Liang Jiugong lowered his head. Although the emperor was just talking with a smile, if Wen Liang really happened What matter, Emperor Kangxi could really do this.
As a highly valued eunuch around Kangxi, Liang Jiugong always knew something deeper than ordinary people.For example, he knew Emperor Kangxi's many dissatisfaction with Prince Yinreng; he also knew Emperor Kangxi's perception of the prince's mind; more for example, he had met Princess Heshuo and Princess Heshun.
Liang Jiugong almost watched Emperor Kangxi grow up. From the time when Emperor Kangxi returned to the palace until now, Liang Jiugong has been serving the Lord Long Live, so he knows a lot of things.
It is only natural that Emperor Kangxi valued Wenliang so much now.If it wasn't for Wen Liang's refusal to become an official, Kangxi would not have summoned Wen Liang until today.Oh, the word "summoning" should not be used. Who would use the word "summoning" when they are in a hurry to meet someone?
Therefore, Wen Liang entered the palace this time, and had a meal in the palace by the way.When he was welcomed into the hall by Liang Jiugong, the first thing people saw was the prepared dishes.Before Wen Liang saluted, Emperor Kangxi smiled and waved at him, "You are much late."
Wen Liang sat down following Emperor Kangxi's wishes, "I went to inspect the shop today, and only after I came back did I learn the will of the Lord Long Live."
Kangxi smiled and shook his head, not saying anything else for now.Without eating or sleeping, the two had lunch quietly, and then moved to a small room in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Wen Liang sat across from Kangxi, on the rug there was a small table with a jade chessboard on it.
"Long live Lord wants to play chess with someone?" Kangxi didn't want to listen to Wen Liang's modesty, it sounded very awkward, and then said after a few words, "The fourth son said that you are good at chess, and you have free time today, come play with me A few plates."
Wen Liang pursed her lips, and glanced at the table inadvertently when entering the hall, the stacked memorials did not seem to be all right at all.He touched Wen Run's chess piece and chose to play first.
As time went by, the sunlight outside the house gradually changed from hot to cool.As the sun moved westward, even the light and shadow in the house became different.The figures of the two appeared a little blurred in the bright light outside, and the sharp side faces were slightly softer.Liang Jiugong quietly changed the ice-cold tea for the two of them. The boiling orange tea was emitting cigarette smoke, which echoed around their hands.
No regrets, Wen Liang lost again.
Why again?Because this was the third game Wen Liang lost.The feeling of playing chess with Kangxi is completely different from that of Yinzhen.Yinzhen is cautious and stable, with a calm atmosphere, but Kangxi is unusually old-fashioned, and hits the nail on the head.
It's not as good as warm and cool.
Kangxi smiled and picked up the chess pieces in his hand one by one, with a gentle appearance like an ordinary person, "It's been a long time since I played so freely. Those bastards knew to sneak in, this game can't be serious How do you feel when you have a knife and a gun?" Wen Liang does things one by one and two by two, there is no reason to hide it.Kangxi likes this character very much.
Wen Liang tidied up the chessboard casually, and said in a low voice, "Brothers are just here to make the Long Live Lord happy."
"It's a good thing if they don't piss me off as soon as possible." Kangxi snorted heavily, and the last chess piece fell from his hand into the chess box. With the stubbornness of an old urchin, he casually picked up the tea cup, At this moment, he is no different from all ordinary people in the world.In an ordinary time, I played a few ordinary games of chess with a person who was almost a nephew.
It seemed that he specially invited people into the palace in the morning just for this matter.
Kangxi just asked ordinary questions like an ordinary elder, and said what should be said, as if everything could be the same as before.Wen Liang pursed her lips, Kangxi was just trying to make up for something.
Maybe the relationship between Heshun and Emperor Kangxi was really good back then.
Wen Liang strolled into the carriage, the driver was very skilled, and the carriage was very quiet along the way.When Wen Liang returned home, as soon as Wen Liang walked into the gallery, he saw Yinzhen standing under the gallery.Su Peisheng followed behind him, one master and one servant looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, as if in a daze.
Wen Liang's little movement disturbed Yinzhen, when he came back to look at Wen Liang, there was a clearly visible smile in his eyes, "You are back."
Wen Liang didn't know that his expression softened slightly at that moment, "Why are you here?"
Yinzhen said with a smile, "I have nothing to do at leisure."
Warm and silent, both he and Yinzhen knew that neither of them would have a time to be free and have nothing to do, maybe there would be, but not now.
"Long live God tried to make up for a certain." Wen Liang walked to Yinzhen's side, stood half a step behind him and looked at the flowers blooming on his waist, "It's just in vain." This is not to Kangxi, but to Heshun said.
"It's also a common thing." Yinzhen said in a low voice, what kind of person Emperor Kangxi is, the princes and elder brothers below have already figured it out little by little, and each has their own opinions.Kangxi is not a heartless person, but he is also a person with a bottom line. Under the throne, he can spoil any prince, but above the throne, there is only one emperor present.
"Master, have you decided yet?" Wen Liang said coldly.
"Don't use honorifics." Yinzhen looked at him sideways, "That's natural."
"Good thing." Wen Liang stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and the cool touch made him a little lost in thought.
A few days later, Wen Liang brewed the spirits. According to the feeling of warmth and coolness, it is not much better than some spirits in later generations, but such a degree is completely unqualified for medical alcohol.
However, after these strong wines were brewed, Yinzhen liked them very much. Except for the two jars of wine left by Wen Liang, Yinzhen took away all the rest.At that time, Wen Liang was recalling the problem of purification. After all, he was not really omniscient. Without knowing how to purify the industry, he could only try slowly.
"Sir, Bronze Sparrow asks to see you."
It was at this time that Lu Yi came in, she quietly walked to Wen Liang's side, and said softly.After Wen Liang's identity was restored, their names also changed naturally.
Wen Liang raised her eyes to look at Lu Yi, her clear eyes did not fluctuate at all, "Let her in." Wen Liang stood in front of the desk to record the data, and then put down the brush.
Tongque came in carrying a bag of things. Compared to her petite appearance before, Tongque is now a big girl.Her walking posture contained confidence, and when she stood in front of Wen Liang, she felt a little uneasy. She saluted and stood up again, "...Sir, I have something to discuss with you alone."
Luyi frowned, and when she was about to speak, Wen Liang said calmly, "Luyi, take someone down." Luyi glanced at Bronze Sparrow in warning, and then retreated.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Bronze Sparrow's eyes, and then he put the package on the table and opened it. Inside was a blood-stained unlined garment. "Sir, this dress was found by a maidservant near the courtyard. Although it was directly shredded, the material and embroidery work are all from our mansion."
Wen Liang looked at the nearly shattered pieces in the package, "How did you find out?"
Such clothes should not be hidden directly, but should also be discarded directly. How could it be discovered by Tongque?Tongque said slowly, "The servant girl, after leaving the courtyard, became a servant girl in the waiter, working in the front yard all the time." It's just that she subconsciously stayed away from Wen Liang's courtyard, presumably...Wen Liang didn't want to go back see her.
"More than half a month ago, the slave girl originally wanted to take advantage of the night to prepare the things that should be done tomorrow, so she stayed until the end before leaving. Then when she passed the garden, she heard the sound of something falling into the water." The thumping The sound was unusually obvious, and Tongque thought it was someone falling into the water at first, but when he went over to see it, although there were waves on the water surface, there was no trace at all on the edge of the lake.
Tongque suppressed his voice and said, "It happened to be raining that night. If someone really planned to jump into the water and commit suicide, it would be impossible for him to deliberately cover up his whereabouts. This is why I went into the water to see what happened."
Tongque is not from an ordinary background, she has some courage, she took off her embroidered shoes and went into the water to pick up her things.
This is the burden.A large stone was tied to the burden, if it hadn't happened that the bronze sparrow passed by, this matter might have remained silent underwater.
Wen Liang stared at the contents of the package. Just as Tongque said, the clothes were made of people in the mansion, but all the potentially iconic things were directly shredded, let alone an ordinary dress, which was uniformly embroidered in the mansion. It is impossible to have an obvious sign when ordering.
"Why didn't you tell Baylor that you didn't come looking for me until today?" Wen Liang's voice was cool, and he looked up at Tongque. If Tongque didn't come to tell him until today, maybe he could catch that person.Today, all clues have disappeared in the past half a month.
Tongque smiled wryly, the mask that had been on his face fell off, his face was pale, and the hands hanging between his sides trembled a little, "Because that person found the servant girl." Tongque didn't think too much before entering the water, until he saw It was only at this burden that she realized that she had discovered something extraordinary.
"I wanted to tell Eunuch Su that day, but when I left by the lake, a leaf brushed against my neck." Tongque rubbed her neck with strong fear, "If it wasn't for the coincidence There is a team of guards passing by, and I am afraid that the slaves will not survive." She followed the team of guards and returned to the house safely, and has been terrified to this day.
The Bronze Sparrow was originally from a special background, just like the Luyi Vermilion Treasure.Since she was sent away by Wen Liang, she really had to work hard to cheer herself up, and then she started to do things with peace of mind.Many chess pieces that have been trained are not used every time, and may last for several years, or even decades, to the end safely.
The same is true for Bronze Sparrow. She has been at ease for too long since the days of training, and she has long since forgotten the feeling of being too nervous to extricate herself.She wavered.
It was because of the coolness that the Tongque plucked up the courage to come here with the things.
The room fell into silence. His warm and indifferent eyes fell on the package, and he said after a long time, "Come back."
Tongque raised her head abruptly, her eyes showed the situation of resurgence after a catastrophe, looked at Wen Liang and said eagerly, "Ge Ge, are you really willing to save me?" She even called out her previous title in a hurry.
Wen Liang called Lu Yi in with a loud voice, "Find a place for Tongque to live, I'll talk to you there." Lu Yi naturally saw the things on the table, and nodded as usual, "I know."
After everyone retreated, Wen Liang closed his eyes a little tiredly. Kangxi valued Yinzhen more and more, presumably it aroused many people's thoughts.
At nightfall, the package that was originally placed on Wenliang's table was transferred to Yinzhen's desk, "If that's the case, it's a good thing that the Tongque is with Mister. It's just that it's troublesome for Mr." Tongque entered Wenliang The yard almost entered the safest place in Baylor Mansion.That is comparable to Yinzhen's outer study.
"No problem." Wen Liang pursed her lips, "Master, is something wrong with the gatekeepers inside and outside the mansion?"
Yinzhen shook his head, "No one has entered the mansion for two years."
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "Master, you should have a regular rotation."
"In this way, it is indeed time to move." Yinzhen said coldly.
In the past few days when Fujin went to worship the Buddha, the guards in Baylor's mansion were indeed scattered, but this was not the pure reason.
Even the bloody clothes have come out, presumably the spy is really a servant, and the guards in the mansion should practice hard.Don't wait for the future, isn't it ridiculous that anyone can break into the Baylor Mansion?The people in the mansion should not only be those ordinary guards, it's time for some secret guys to come out.
Yinzhen took over this matter, and Wen Liang handed over everything to him. Now he is very interested in the alcohol issue that he is currently studying. In order to know more about it, Wen Liang put the entire library to After reading it over and over, I had to take people out of the house and go to various bookstores.
Wen Liang was familiar with most of the bookstores in the capital. When the carriage stopped at the bookstore he was most familiar with, Wen Liang just got out of the carriage and before he approached, he heard a familiar sound.Oh no.Wen Liang extremely restrained rolled his eyes at the villain in his heart, then turned to look at the person standing behind him.
Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang with a smile, his eyes full of cunning, "It's really rare to see you, Wen Liang. I saw you outside, why, didn't the fourth brother keep holding on to you? After all, you are a Such a rare counselor." Yinzhen's ridicule was like a breeze, leaving no trace on Wen Liang's body.
On the street, Wen Liang just bowed and saluted, "Do you have something important to do?" Yinzhen curled his lips, implying that he should go away if he has nothing to do?He grinned, with interest, "Of course something has happened."
Zhu Bao stood dumbly downstairs, feeling an urge to go up and grab someone, if Wen Liang hadn't signaled them to stay downstairs at the end, Yinzhen would not be able to take the person Wen Liang took with him.
When Wen Liang followed Yinzhen upstairs, he glanced at the noisy crowd downstairs, and said indifferently, "Master, do you know what Master Fourteen is doing today?" Yinzhen was in a particularly good mood at first, humming a faint tune, Hearing Wen Liang's words, the movement of going upstairs paused for a moment, his face turned cold, "What do you want to say?"
Wen Liang stepped up a step, passed by Yinzhen leisurely, and walked inside, "So-and-so didn't say anything." He walked up the stairs, passed by the long corridor, and stopped outside the last room , looking back at Yinzhen who was still at the top of the stairs, "Is the Fourteenth Master not coming?"
Yinzhen walked over slowly, "How do you know you're here?" He never said a word related to this place from the beginning to the end.
Wen Liang said lightly, "From the top to the bottom of this restaurant, only this room can see XX." Yinzhen was speechless, he thought that there had never been anyone who was upright at any moment.
Fourteen stood in front of the door and pushed open the wooden door, feeling a little guilty at that moment.I don't know if this guilt is for himself or for Yinzhen.It has remained since Wen Liang opened his mouth just now, and it reached the extreme when he saw Yinhu's gentle smiling face.He turned his head away, somehow not wanting to see the starling at all.
Yinzhen sat on the innermost side with her feet up, regardless of her image. Seeing that Yinzhen had brought him back, she raised her glass with a sneer, "Mr. Wen, don't come here without any problems."
"I'm fine. If the masters are also fine, I can leave." He was very unharmed, and said coolly, choking the elder brothers in the room for a moment.Yinzhen laughed loudly, and dragged Wen Liang into the room, he laughed so much that Yin'e threw the chopsticks on him in dissatisfaction, "Fourteen, why are you laughing so loudly when you have nothing to do!"
Yinzhen shrugged nonchalantly, pushed Wen Liang down on the far side, and then sloppily jumped onto the chair next to him, "I just laugh if I want to, brother ten, if you don't like it, you can laugh with me .”
Yinzhen knew that if the two were allowed to be together again, they might fight in the blink of an eye. "Okay, you two thick-headed geese, what are you arguing about. Fourteen, didn't you want to go out for a walk today? Why did you stay and quarrel with tenth again?"
Yinzhen stepped on the horizontal chair casually, "I've changed my mind, it's good to stay here."
Yinhu stopped what Yinhu was about to say, and said with a smile, "Old Shisiteen, you should all be quiet. Don't come out after all, because trouble will happen. It will not be easy to leave the palace in the future. things." These little elder brothers have begun to grow up, and from this year onwards, they don't have to spend every day in the study room, and they can occasionally come out to wander around.But if the brothers started to stir up trouble outside, Kangxi would definitely throw these two brothers back.
For the sake of comfort in the future, even Yinzhen settled down.
Yinhu said to Wen Liang with a smile, "Mr. is laughing."
Wen Liang pursed his lips, "Master Fourteen has always been like this." The tone as cool as water covered the hotness just now like a clear spring, and it also made Fourteen next to him even more puzzled.
Yinzhen frowned, and after a while, he filled in the last piece. This familiar feeling made him slap his thigh and jump up, "You, you are..." That damned woman!That damned girl who impressed him so much that she got out of her body and smoked twice...
Huh, girl?
Yinzhen blinked and looked at Wen Liang.
male!
Wen Liang looked at Dai Duo with indifferent eyes and said, "Brother Dai, do you have something to look for?" Otherwise, there is no reason to wait for nearly two quarters of an hour.
Dai Duo cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Wen is right, Dai has indeed something to discuss with Brother Wen, why not go to my place?" Wen Liang nodded without refusing, and followed Dai Duo to Dai Duo's place place.
Zhu Bao honestly stayed outside. Ever since he was seasick during his southern tour, he always felt that his status was not guaranteed. When he came back, he almost always stayed behind Wen Liang, even when he went out. follow.Lu felt that Wen Liang didn't refuse, and didn't say anything.
Dai Duo was relieved to see that Wen Liang's expression hadn't changed since he came in.Originally, inviting Wen Liang was just a matter of utterance. After speaking, Dai Duo recalled that Wen Liang's current identity is completely different from before. Take it to heart.As in the past, Wen Liang has always had such a personality.
If it weren't for Lord Baylor's support, there must be some people who provoke Wen Liang nowadays.In the final analysis, it was because Wen Liang didn't care about achievements at all in the past, and others never knew what he did.When a student is alive, he hopes to gain fame and fame, and no matter how bad he is, he also serves the country, hoping to give advice to the superior.In the end, it all fell on the false name of the real place, but Wen Liang didn't care about it at all.
He never takes the initiative to make friends with the people in the front yard. He has a solitary personality, and he never taboos those obvious old customs when getting along with others, and he has always been so frank.Like an unworldly gentleman.
Dai Duo likes a cool personality, regardless of gender.He knew in his heart that the master must have appreciated him a lot because of this.Not everyone can stand in front of Yinzhen consistently, never speak falsely, and never regret or doubt.
"You should think about yourself." Dai Duo gave up what he was going to say, looked at Wen Liang seriously, and said persuasively, "I don't know why you have been refusing to reveal your actual achievements. Now Long Live and Baylor Master always values you so much, Wen Liang, as long as you want it, it's something you can get at your fingertips."
Wen Liang looked at Dai Duo indifferently, "That's not what I want."
Dai Duo shook his head and sighed, looked at Wen Liang, and endured the dissuasion that welled up in his throat. He still remembered what Wen Liang said back then, and all he did was the choice he wanted.As for other people's coercion, if Wen Liang didn't do it voluntarily, no one would be able to coerce him, and there are too few people who are not tempted by glory and wealth.
In fact, Dai Duo was wrong. It is useless to seduce Wen Liang with glory and wealth, but using other methods to seduce Wen Liang is a good move, such as... expanding the library, collecting a series of books, etc. Yinzhen has already practiced this.
The topic stopped here, and Dai Duo moved to other places on the boundary of the debate in time, and returned to the business that Dai Duo originally wanted to talk about.
"Brother Wen, you said earlier that the emperor's decision has not changed, and Lord Belle should advance bravely. Now according to the emperor's situation, maybe at this age..." Dai Duo stretched out his hand and compared the numbers, "If Lord Belle is too early If you show your sharpness, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future."
Wen Liang nodded, agreeing with Dai Duo's statement, "That's true, Lord Baylor is now quite valued by Lord Long Live, if it continues like this, it will indeed attract more and more attention."
"However, this is not how it was said." Wen Liang dipped in water and wrote the word "Prince" on the table, and tapped it with his fingertips, "The prince is the first son of the emperor to be preserved, unless At the most critical moment, the emperor cannot choose to give up on him." Wen Liang said pointedly.
Dai Duo narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that Wen Liang was referring to the abolition of the prince.The emperor was indeed disappointed with the prince Yinreng, but it was far from the time to abolish the prince, and the process would take at least several years to be shaken.This is almost a necessary process, so Dai Duo's strategy from the very beginning is to boil the frog in warm water, hide his edge and act in a low-key manner.
"Dai Duo, you forgot one thing." Wen Liang called Dai Duo by his full name directly, "If you don't stand out in everything, how can you guarantee that in the end Long Live Lord will definitely choose you?"
As Wen Liang knows, in history, people in the world have thousands of theories about Yinzhen's succession to the throne. The most blatant rumors are that he seeks power to usurp the throne, takes away his brother's position, and swings his sword at his brother.Except for Thirteen, the other elder brothers were either imprisoned or seized power and imprisoned, and none of them had any good endings.A few years before Yinzhen's ascension to the throne, the turbulent torrent never stopped, it was the torrent left over from the last years of Kangxi to seize the throne.
Wen Liang wanted to assist Yinzhen, so he wanted him to ascend the throne dignifiedly, instead of leaving it for a later date, which aroused a lot of discussion in the world!
Dai Duo frowned, and wanted to say something, but was suppressed by Wen Liang's gesture, "According to your method, if the Lord can ascend the throne, it's just God's pity, and I never do things based on luck." Wen Liang didn't believe the so-called luck.As the saying goes, time does not live, and heaven rewards hard work. How many people bow down to this sentence, and how many people firmly believe that man will conquer the sky and be unremitting?
Everything needs a price, everything needs to be paid, after all, it is not the endless patience that can get the result.
Dai Duo licked his chapped lips, gnawed at the thin layer of skin and said, "Brother Wen, I have no advantage in the eyes of Lord Long Live. Whether it is now or in the future, if you follow your method, the difficulties that Lord Baylor will face But more than one or two."
Wen Liang said calmly, "Brother Dai, from your point of view, among these princes, who will be the most difficult opponent for the Lord?"
Dai Duo immediately said, "Prince Zhijun!" The crown prince's decline is obvious, no matter who is an adult prince, it is impossible for the crown prince to completely repair the crack.If the prince really has the aura of overlord in the world, or is an emperor through the ages, he will naturally be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.But Yinfeng is not.
Wen Liang shook his head, dipped in water and wrote another word.
Eight.
Dai Duo was shocked, looking at the words on the table with deep doubts, he looked up at Wen Liang, "Brother Wen, even though Babeile is a corporal of virtuous people, not everyone likes this way of doing things right and wrong." Not to mention that there is no useful force behind Babeile, only Bafujin's natal family is there, which is far behind Yinyi.
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said slowly, "Long live Lord, he never thought about it at this time, so why didn't Babeile succeed?" Woolen cloth.
Dai Duo and Wen Liang had been arguing from noon to night, and it was not over until Dai Duo was beating a drum in his belly. Dai Duo was barely convinced by Wen Liang's argument, and he also knew what Wen Liang meant.
Because of Yangzhou Tongli's rescue, Kangxi was very gentle towards Yinzhen at this time, and because of Wen Liang's relationship, this was another level.The nervousness and vigilance of the four sons at that time, Kangxi will only become a good thing in retrospect.Although it was an accident, with this incident, Yinzhen could at least be valued by Kangxi for several years.
This is also a strange place for people. When you have never paid attention to it, no matter how big you do it, there will be no trace.But when it is discovered, even the smallest things will be infinitely magnified and become the focus of attention.
It is at this moment that Yinzhen is in Kangxi.Of course warm and cool too.
In August of the 42nd year of Kangxi, the Suo'etu case was completely settled, and the power of the princeling faction fell into a slump. During this period, the performance of Zhijun Wang was the most eye-catching, even in the court.Emperor Kangxi still paid attention to the situation of the prince from time to time, and tried his best.He even praised the prince in front of the court officials at a small court meeting on a certain day, praising him as his most proud son.All of these things are top-level things. The lives of ordinary people are still ordinary, and they can do what they have to do.
One morning in August, Wen Liang took people out of the mansion to inspect the situation of the shops under the name of Zhenbei Le Mansion.After wandering outside for half a day, before Wen Liang returned to the mansion, he stopped the carriage on a street one street away from Zhenbei Le's mansion.
Wen Liang got off the carriage, and the attendants followed Wen Liang's movements, and the group soon stopped in front of a small stall selling calligraphy and painting on the corner of the street.The stall owner was a middle-aged scholar who looked very thin. Seeing some customers coming, his eyes naturally fell on a few of them.
Wen Liang waved his hand, and the people behind him backed away a little, instead of standing by the side.The street is noisy, and the distance is just too close to hear the sound of talking.Wen Liang picked out the calligraphy and paintings on the booth, and said casually, "Could it be because of XX's previous indulgence that you always thought that XX wouldn't do anything to you?"
Wen Liang chose a copy of calligraphy and painting, and his indifferent eyes fell on the scholar, "To monitor a certain person, we should pretend to be in place."
The scholar's booth appeared in May, and there was no difference in behavior or the appearance of the booth every day.Wen Liang noticed him because of his flaws.
Wu Ren shouldn't be writing, Wen Liang has read Wu Ren's handwriting.When Wen Liang was looking for a middleman to rent a house in Liumian Hutong and signed it, Wen Liang had seen Wu Ren's signed document among the piles of papers.
The scholar's body stiffened following Wen Liang's words, looking at Wen Liang seemed to be looking at a wolf or tiger, but besides that, there seemed to be an inexplicable expectation mixed in.
The scholar Wu Ren's lips trembled twice, and he looked down at the calligraphy and painting, "Your surname is Wen?" Wen Liang put down the calligraphy and painting in hand, and looked carefully at the stall again. Wu Ren has a good handwriting, "Yes and How? If not, so what?"
Wen Liang didn't admit it directly, but these words seemed to really ignite the expectation in Wu Ren's heart. He said hopefully, "Do you remember that in 13, when you were outside Guangzhou, you once rescued a fainted orphan?"
Wen Liang was slightly startled, meeting Wu Ren's excited eyes, as if recalling a certain fragment in his memory.
After a long silence, Wen Liang said, "Are you the orphan back then?"
Hearing Wen Liang's words, Wu Ren was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and nodded vigorously, "It was me. Back then, you fed me water and stuffed warm cakes to protect my heart. Save me. It was you who saved me." At the end, Wu Ren was a little lost. Although the person who saved him was a girl, after thinking for a long time, Wu Ren was still half-ascertained that Wen Liang was the one at the time. the man!Perhaps it was because he was on the verge of death that he might have misjudged the person.
The cool and cool voice sounded, and people felt chills in their hearts, "You are wrong. At the beginning, I just found your wayfinding and identity certificate, and I saved you just by hand. In truth, I am just a thief."
Wen Liang spoke frankly and straightforwardly, and Wu Ren didn't feel entangled in hearing it. He said frankly, "I don't care about this. You saved me at the beginning, let me go a few years ago, and let me go again in Yangzhou. You saved me three times , I owe you three lives."
Wen Liang frowned slightly, and began to discuss seriously, "I will take your guide and save your life. This is worth it once. A few years ago, when you let me in the house, I let you go. This is another time, barely counted." , you owe me your life at most." In Yangzhou, the feeling of Wu Ren Jinpen washing his hands was not fake, and Wen Liang didn't really want to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty, so he would never arrest anyone he saw.From Wen Liang's point of view, this time is not counted.
Wu Ren saw what Wen Liang was going to say, and said before he could say the last sentence, "I know you won't believe me, and you won't think highly of the loyalty of us grassroots. I owe you three lives, and I owe you three lives before paying off. I won’t go. If you want to catch me, of course you can. I owe you my life, and it can be paid off.”
Wen Liang blinked, really unable to understand this heroic feeling, he lowered his head and picked up a calligraphy and painting, trying to use it as a substitute for saving his life.To no avail, Wen Liang walked away expressionlessly.
Zhu Bao looked at Wen Liang and walked back to the carriage, looked at Wen Liang's appearance and said, "Sir, is that person rude to you?" Feeling a little bit, although Wen Liang looks expressionless now, he is just a little depressed.
Wen Liang got into the car, closed his eyes and rested his mind, "Send someone to watch him, don't worry about it, go back."
Zhu Bao nodded yes.
The carriage had just stopped at the gate of the mansion, and before Wen Liang got out of the car, he heard Zhang Qilin's voice, "Sir, there is an invitation from the palace, and now this person has been waiting in the mansion for a long time." Wen Liang opened the curtain and looked Seeing the appearance of Zhang Qilin standing outside the carriage waiting, there was indeed an anxious look on his face.
Wen Liang got out of the car and looked back at the things in the carriage. They were things he brought back from the shop. He wanted to experiment a little bit now, but now he couldn't.
"You go back first, just change your clothes." Wen Liang walked towards the mansion.
Zhang Qilin didn't dare to stop him, so he sent someone to inform the eunuch who was still waiting, and then trotted behind Wen Liang.As soon as the master went out on the front foot, the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace came on the back foot, saying that the emperor has invited him.Zhang Qilin sent people to look for them, but they always missed them, let alone Wen Liang stayed on the street for a quarter of an hour.When the person finally appeared, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Qilin's back.
After all, Wen Liang has no background and is just Yinzhen's aide.Even if he really did something during the southern tour that attracted Emperor Kangxi's attention, but after several months, the impression of this matter has gradually disappeared.Originally, it was a strange thing for Emperor Kangxi to think of Wen Liang again, but Wen Liang did not stay in the mansion directly, delaying it for an entire hour!This made Zhang Qilin not in a hurry, if Mr. Wen turned his head and angered the emperor, and he was gone, how would he explain to Lord Baylor? !
How anxious Zhang Qilin was behind him, how calm Wen Liang was. After returning to the house and changing into more suitable clothes, he slowly came out of the house, facing the bright sunlight that filled the courtyard, and even asked Lu Yi to leave before leaving. The things that will be delivered later are easy to arrange.Such an indifferent attitude also made Zhang Qilin calm. Without him, since Mr. Wen himself is not in a hurry, what is the use of Zhang Qilin being anxious?
The eunuch who delivered the decree from the palace was a fat eunuch in his 30s. Although he had been waiting in the mansion for more than an hour, he was still smiling and never showed it.But Zhang Qilin came out of the palace, knowing that this kind of old fritters is the most face-saving, when he came over to deal with him, he secretly handed over a thin purse.
The eunuch who passed the decree took it secretly, pinched the soft touch, and smiled deeper.This thin silver bill is always more likely to come than heavy silver.
Wen Liang got into the carriage sent by the palace and sat in the carriage.The eunuch who passed the decree sat happily outside, and the small convoy quickly rushed towards the imperial city.Amidst the clattering of horseshoes, Wen Liang continued to close her eyes and meditate.
Qing Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Kangxi was correcting the memorial at hand, and he had read it for nearly a quarter of an hour, but at the end, Emperor Kangxi still couldn't help throwing the memorial out, and leaned casually on the back of his chair.Liang Jiugong hurried up to knead Emperor Kangxi's shoulders. Lord Long Live had kept the same posture for a long time, and now his neck was sore.
"Liang Jiugong, why hasn't Wen Liang come yet?" Emperor Kangxi noticed the sun outside, and it was almost noon.The person who was invited in the morning has not yet arrived.
Liang Jiugong said in a low voice, "It must be delayed on the road again."
Emperor Kangxi sneered, "As far as the distance from the palace road is concerned, if something can happen to anyone, you don't have to stand here." Liang Jiugong lowered his head. Although the emperor was just talking with a smile, if Wen Liang really happened What matter, Emperor Kangxi could really do this.
As a highly valued eunuch around Kangxi, Liang Jiugong always knew something deeper than ordinary people.For example, he knew Emperor Kangxi's many dissatisfaction with Prince Yinreng; he also knew Emperor Kangxi's perception of the prince's mind; more for example, he had met Princess Heshuo and Princess Heshun.
Liang Jiugong almost watched Emperor Kangxi grow up. From the time when Emperor Kangxi returned to the palace until now, Liang Jiugong has been serving the Lord Long Live, so he knows a lot of things.
It is only natural that Emperor Kangxi valued Wenliang so much now.If it wasn't for Wen Liang's refusal to become an official, Kangxi would not have summoned Wen Liang until today.Oh, the word "summoning" should not be used. Who would use the word "summoning" when they are in a hurry to meet someone?
Therefore, Wen Liang entered the palace this time, and had a meal in the palace by the way.When he was welcomed into the hall by Liang Jiugong, the first thing people saw was the prepared dishes.Before Wen Liang saluted, Emperor Kangxi smiled and waved at him, "You are much late."
Wen Liang sat down following Emperor Kangxi's wishes, "I went to inspect the shop today, and only after I came back did I learn the will of the Lord Long Live."
Kangxi smiled and shook his head, not saying anything else for now.Without eating or sleeping, the two had lunch quietly, and then moved to a small room in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Wen Liang sat across from Kangxi, on the rug there was a small table with a jade chessboard on it.
"Long live Lord wants to play chess with someone?" Kangxi didn't want to listen to Wen Liang's modesty, it sounded very awkward, and then said after a few words, "The fourth son said that you are good at chess, and you have free time today, come play with me A few plates."
Wen Liang pursed her lips, and glanced at the table inadvertently when entering the hall, the stacked memorials did not seem to be all right at all.He touched Wen Run's chess piece and chose to play first.
As time went by, the sunlight outside the house gradually changed from hot to cool.As the sun moved westward, even the light and shadow in the house became different.The figures of the two appeared a little blurred in the bright light outside, and the sharp side faces were slightly softer.Liang Jiugong quietly changed the ice-cold tea for the two of them. The boiling orange tea was emitting cigarette smoke, which echoed around their hands.
No regrets, Wen Liang lost again.
Why again?Because this was the third game Wen Liang lost.The feeling of playing chess with Kangxi is completely different from that of Yinzhen.Yinzhen is cautious and stable, with a calm atmosphere, but Kangxi is unusually old-fashioned, and hits the nail on the head.
It's not as good as warm and cool.
Kangxi smiled and picked up the chess pieces in his hand one by one, with a gentle appearance like an ordinary person, "It's been a long time since I played so freely. Those bastards knew to sneak in, this game can't be serious How do you feel when you have a knife and a gun?" Wen Liang does things one by one and two by two, there is no reason to hide it.Kangxi likes this character very much.
Wen Liang tidied up the chessboard casually, and said in a low voice, "Brothers are just here to make the Long Live Lord happy."
"It's a good thing if they don't piss me off as soon as possible." Kangxi snorted heavily, and the last chess piece fell from his hand into the chess box. With the stubbornness of an old urchin, he casually picked up the tea cup, At this moment, he is no different from all ordinary people in the world.In an ordinary time, I played a few ordinary games of chess with a person who was almost a nephew.
It seemed that he specially invited people into the palace in the morning just for this matter.
Kangxi just asked ordinary questions like an ordinary elder, and said what should be said, as if everything could be the same as before.Wen Liang pursed her lips, Kangxi was just trying to make up for something.
Maybe the relationship between Heshun and Emperor Kangxi was really good back then.
Wen Liang strolled into the carriage, the driver was very skilled, and the carriage was very quiet along the way.When Wen Liang returned home, as soon as Wen Liang walked into the gallery, he saw Yinzhen standing under the gallery.Su Peisheng followed behind him, one master and one servant looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, as if in a daze.
Wen Liang's little movement disturbed Yinzhen, when he came back to look at Wen Liang, there was a clearly visible smile in his eyes, "You are back."
Wen Liang didn't know that his expression softened slightly at that moment, "Why are you here?"
Yinzhen said with a smile, "I have nothing to do at leisure."
Warm and silent, both he and Yinzhen knew that neither of them would have a time to be free and have nothing to do, maybe there would be, but not now.
"Long live God tried to make up for a certain." Wen Liang walked to Yinzhen's side, stood half a step behind him and looked at the flowers blooming on his waist, "It's just in vain." This is not to Kangxi, but to Heshun said.
"It's also a common thing." Yinzhen said in a low voice, what kind of person Emperor Kangxi is, the princes and elder brothers below have already figured it out little by little, and each has their own opinions.Kangxi is not a heartless person, but he is also a person with a bottom line. Under the throne, he can spoil any prince, but above the throne, there is only one emperor present.
"Master, have you decided yet?" Wen Liang said coldly.
"Don't use honorifics." Yinzhen looked at him sideways, "That's natural."
"Good thing." Wen Liang stroked the jade pendant on his waist, and the cool touch made him a little lost in thought.
A few days later, Wen Liang brewed the spirits. According to the feeling of warmth and coolness, it is not much better than some spirits in later generations, but such a degree is completely unqualified for medical alcohol.
However, after these strong wines were brewed, Yinzhen liked them very much. Except for the two jars of wine left by Wen Liang, Yinzhen took away all the rest.At that time, Wen Liang was recalling the problem of purification. After all, he was not really omniscient. Without knowing how to purify the industry, he could only try slowly.
"Sir, Bronze Sparrow asks to see you."
It was at this time that Lu Yi came in, she quietly walked to Wen Liang's side, and said softly.After Wen Liang's identity was restored, their names also changed naturally.
Wen Liang raised her eyes to look at Lu Yi, her clear eyes did not fluctuate at all, "Let her in." Wen Liang stood in front of the desk to record the data, and then put down the brush.
Tongque came in carrying a bag of things. Compared to her petite appearance before, Tongque is now a big girl.Her walking posture contained confidence, and when she stood in front of Wen Liang, she felt a little uneasy. She saluted and stood up again, "...Sir, I have something to discuss with you alone."
Luyi frowned, and when she was about to speak, Wen Liang said calmly, "Luyi, take someone down." Luyi glanced at Bronze Sparrow in warning, and then retreated.
A trace of gratitude flashed in Bronze Sparrow's eyes, and then he put the package on the table and opened it. Inside was a blood-stained unlined garment. "Sir, this dress was found by a maidservant near the courtyard. Although it was directly shredded, the material and embroidery work are all from our mansion."
Wen Liang looked at the nearly shattered pieces in the package, "How did you find out?"
Such clothes should not be hidden directly, but should also be discarded directly. How could it be discovered by Tongque?Tongque said slowly, "The servant girl, after leaving the courtyard, became a servant girl in the waiter, working in the front yard all the time." It's just that she subconsciously stayed away from Wen Liang's courtyard, presumably...Wen Liang didn't want to go back see her.
"More than half a month ago, the slave girl originally wanted to take advantage of the night to prepare the things that should be done tomorrow, so she stayed until the end before leaving. Then when she passed the garden, she heard the sound of something falling into the water." The thumping The sound was unusually obvious, and Tongque thought it was someone falling into the water at first, but when he went over to see it, although there were waves on the water surface, there was no trace at all on the edge of the lake.
Tongque suppressed his voice and said, "It happened to be raining that night. If someone really planned to jump into the water and commit suicide, it would be impossible for him to deliberately cover up his whereabouts. This is why I went into the water to see what happened."
Tongque is not from an ordinary background, she has some courage, she took off her embroidered shoes and went into the water to pick up her things.
This is the burden.A large stone was tied to the burden, if it hadn't happened that the bronze sparrow passed by, this matter might have remained silent underwater.
Wen Liang stared at the contents of the package. Just as Tongque said, the clothes were made of people in the mansion, but all the potentially iconic things were directly shredded, let alone an ordinary dress, which was uniformly embroidered in the mansion. It is impossible to have an obvious sign when ordering.
"Why didn't you tell Baylor that you didn't come looking for me until today?" Wen Liang's voice was cool, and he looked up at Tongque. If Tongque didn't come to tell him until today, maybe he could catch that person.Today, all clues have disappeared in the past half a month.
Tongque smiled wryly, the mask that had been on his face fell off, his face was pale, and the hands hanging between his sides trembled a little, "Because that person found the servant girl." Tongque didn't think too much before entering the water, until he saw It was only at this burden that she realized that she had discovered something extraordinary.
"I wanted to tell Eunuch Su that day, but when I left by the lake, a leaf brushed against my neck." Tongque rubbed her neck with strong fear, "If it wasn't for the coincidence There is a team of guards passing by, and I am afraid that the slaves will not survive." She followed the team of guards and returned to the house safely, and has been terrified to this day.
The Bronze Sparrow was originally from a special background, just like the Luyi Vermilion Treasure.Since she was sent away by Wen Liang, she really had to work hard to cheer herself up, and then she started to do things with peace of mind.Many chess pieces that have been trained are not used every time, and may last for several years, or even decades, to the end safely.
The same is true for Bronze Sparrow. She has been at ease for too long since the days of training, and she has long since forgotten the feeling of being too nervous to extricate herself.She wavered.
It was because of the coolness that the Tongque plucked up the courage to come here with the things.
The room fell into silence. His warm and indifferent eyes fell on the package, and he said after a long time, "Come back."
Tongque raised her head abruptly, her eyes showed the situation of resurgence after a catastrophe, looked at Wen Liang and said eagerly, "Ge Ge, are you really willing to save me?" She even called out her previous title in a hurry.
Wen Liang called Lu Yi in with a loud voice, "Find a place for Tongque to live, I'll talk to you there." Lu Yi naturally saw the things on the table, and nodded as usual, "I know."
After everyone retreated, Wen Liang closed his eyes a little tiredly. Kangxi valued Yinzhen more and more, presumably it aroused many people's thoughts.
At nightfall, the package that was originally placed on Wenliang's table was transferred to Yinzhen's desk, "If that's the case, it's a good thing that the Tongque is with Mister. It's just that it's troublesome for Mr." Tongque entered Wenliang The yard almost entered the safest place in Baylor Mansion.That is comparable to Yinzhen's outer study.
"No problem." Wen Liang pursed her lips, "Master, is something wrong with the gatekeepers inside and outside the mansion?"
Yinzhen shook his head, "No one has entered the mansion for two years."
Wen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, and said softly, "Master, you should have a regular rotation."
"In this way, it is indeed time to move." Yinzhen said coldly.
In the past few days when Fujin went to worship the Buddha, the guards in Baylor's mansion were indeed scattered, but this was not the pure reason.
Even the bloody clothes have come out, presumably the spy is really a servant, and the guards in the mansion should practice hard.Don't wait for the future, isn't it ridiculous that anyone can break into the Baylor Mansion?The people in the mansion should not only be those ordinary guards, it's time for some secret guys to come out.
Yinzhen took over this matter, and Wen Liang handed over everything to him. Now he is very interested in the alcohol issue that he is currently studying. In order to know more about it, Wen Liang put the entire library to After reading it over and over, I had to take people out of the house and go to various bookstores.
Wen Liang was familiar with most of the bookstores in the capital. When the carriage stopped at the bookstore he was most familiar with, Wen Liang just got out of the carriage and before he approached, he heard a familiar sound.Oh no.Wen Liang extremely restrained rolled his eyes at the villain in his heart, then turned to look at the person standing behind him.
Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang with a smile, his eyes full of cunning, "It's really rare to see you, Wen Liang. I saw you outside, why, didn't the fourth brother keep holding on to you? After all, you are a Such a rare counselor." Yinzhen's ridicule was like a breeze, leaving no trace on Wen Liang's body.
On the street, Wen Liang just bowed and saluted, "Do you have something important to do?" Yinzhen curled his lips, implying that he should go away if he has nothing to do?He grinned, with interest, "Of course something has happened."
Zhu Bao stood dumbly downstairs, feeling an urge to go up and grab someone, if Wen Liang hadn't signaled them to stay downstairs at the end, Yinzhen would not be able to take the person Wen Liang took with him.
When Wen Liang followed Yinzhen upstairs, he glanced at the noisy crowd downstairs, and said indifferently, "Master, do you know what Master Fourteen is doing today?" Yinzhen was in a particularly good mood at first, humming a faint tune, Hearing Wen Liang's words, the movement of going upstairs paused for a moment, his face turned cold, "What do you want to say?"
Wen Liang stepped up a step, passed by Yinzhen leisurely, and walked inside, "So-and-so didn't say anything." He walked up the stairs, passed by the long corridor, and stopped outside the last room , looking back at Yinzhen who was still at the top of the stairs, "Is the Fourteenth Master not coming?"
Yinzhen walked over slowly, "How do you know you're here?" He never said a word related to this place from the beginning to the end.
Wen Liang said lightly, "From the top to the bottom of this restaurant, only this room can see XX." Yinzhen was speechless, he thought that there had never been anyone who was upright at any moment.
Fourteen stood in front of the door and pushed open the wooden door, feeling a little guilty at that moment.I don't know if this guilt is for himself or for Yinzhen.It has remained since Wen Liang opened his mouth just now, and it reached the extreme when he saw Yinhu's gentle smiling face.He turned his head away, somehow not wanting to see the starling at all.
Yinzhen sat on the innermost side with her feet up, regardless of her image. Seeing that Yinzhen had brought him back, she raised her glass with a sneer, "Mr. Wen, don't come here without any problems."
"I'm fine. If the masters are also fine, I can leave." He was very unharmed, and said coolly, choking the elder brothers in the room for a moment.Yinzhen laughed loudly, and dragged Wen Liang into the room, he laughed so much that Yin'e threw the chopsticks on him in dissatisfaction, "Fourteen, why are you laughing so loudly when you have nothing to do!"
Yinzhen shrugged nonchalantly, pushed Wen Liang down on the far side, and then sloppily jumped onto the chair next to him, "I just laugh if I want to, brother ten, if you don't like it, you can laugh with me .”
Yinzhen knew that if the two were allowed to be together again, they might fight in the blink of an eye. "Okay, you two thick-headed geese, what are you arguing about. Fourteen, didn't you want to go out for a walk today? Why did you stay and quarrel with tenth again?"
Yinzhen stepped on the horizontal chair casually, "I've changed my mind, it's good to stay here."
Yinhu stopped what Yinhu was about to say, and said with a smile, "Old Shisiteen, you should all be quiet. Don't come out after all, because trouble will happen. It will not be easy to leave the palace in the future. things." These little elder brothers have begun to grow up, and from this year onwards, they don't have to spend every day in the study room, and they can occasionally come out to wander around.But if the brothers started to stir up trouble outside, Kangxi would definitely throw these two brothers back.
For the sake of comfort in the future, even Yinzhen settled down.
Yinhu said to Wen Liang with a smile, "Mr. is laughing."
Wen Liang pursed his lips, "Master Fourteen has always been like this." The tone as cool as water covered the hotness just now like a clear spring, and it also made Fourteen next to him even more puzzled.
Yinzhen frowned, and after a while, he filled in the last piece. This familiar feeling made him slap his thigh and jump up, "You, you are..." That damned woman!That damned girl who impressed him so much that she got out of her body and smoked twice...
Huh, girl?
Yinzhen blinked and looked at Wen Liang.
male!
