Chapter 18: Should the Fourth Brother Delegate All Powers?
Yinzhen did not lie any more: "When Dafu Jin gave birth to his fourth daughter, he also suffered from fetal instability. At that time, the eldest brother had just left the palace to build a mansion, and Concubine Hui sent people from the palace, but nothing was found at that time. I wonder if the lack of news from Dafujin in the past two years is related to this.
Coincidentally, the prince fell when his concubine was giving birth to a daughter. At that time, many people were sent from each palace, and there was a lot of commotion in the palace that night. The child was born, but died soon after. "
Lu Pheasant thought for a while: "So, the blue and white lamp is a reward for my handling of things properly?" If so, she can just go and thank me as usual.
Yinzhen nodded: "As for the hundred gold, it was probably Khan Amma who had a smooth journey and heard good news after entering the palace, so he rewarded us and our husband."
Emperor Kangxi did not reward Yinfeng, but wanted to reward Si elder brother, and then gave Si Fujin a reason.
"So, I am blessed by you."
Yinzhen looked at the pretty little Fujin and said righteously: "Husband and wife are one, sharing weal and woe."
Lu Pheasant: "So, I don't have to share the reward with you?"
Yinzhen: "If you want to accept them all, it depends on whether Fujin can tell your story well?"
Lu Pheasant: "When the craftsman was at his wits' end, the craftsman's wife said that he had a secret recipe, so why didn't he use it? When the craftsman heard this, he scolded his wife. Their daughter heard this and felt aggrieved for her mother. The little girl was clever and secretly She found the secret recipe hidden by the craftsman, but after reading it, she silently hid it again.
Three days before the deadline, the nobleman saw that there was no progress and ordered the head of the craftsman to be taken away. His daughter stood up and said she had a solution, but was severely reprimanded by the chief craftsman. The nobleman's men still didn't release the craftsman's head, but asked the little girl to bake it on his behalf.
The little girl found out the secret recipe, and it said that if you want to get the most red blood bottle, you need to sacrifice a human being..."
When Yinzhen heard this, he said angrily: "Absurd! How can there be such a vicious secret recipe that takes away people's lives in the world? As for those noble people who give stupid orders and care about human lives, just find them and deal with them according to the law. No matter how rare the utensils are, try your best to find them. Just bake it.”
The little sweetheart is so generous, even when he hears the evil things in the story, he doesn't get angry about it.
"What I said is exactly right. The ending you said should prevail."
Yinzhen was quiet for a while, and then couldn't help but ask: "How did the little girl save her father in the end?"
Lu Zhi suppressed his laughter and answered seriously: "The daughter of the craftsman only ordered people to bring live chickens, slaughter them and put them into the oven with fresh chicken blood."
"Done?"
Lu Pheasant nodded.
"She is a clever little girl."
When the craftsmen leaders saw that human sacrifice was required, they were frightened. They were thinking about the secret recipe, but they did not dare to actually use the secret method. The experiment went in the opposite direction.
But the little girl jumped out of the thinking trap and solved the dilemma.
Lu Pheasant: "How? One hundred gold can be put into a private treasury?"
Yinzhen's answer was to smile slightly, close his eyes, and fall asleep.
*
Concubine De did what she said. After the Song family gave birth to a daughter, Emperor Kangxi paid a visit to Yonghe Palace.
Soon, the Qianqing Palace issued an edict and decided on the location where the three, four, and five princes would leave the palace and build their mansions.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs began to send people out to supervise the construction according to the prince's wishes.
Royal speed cannot be underestimated.
Moving is a cumbersome task. Lu Pheasant simply completed the baptism of the Song family's daughter and began to formulate the rules for leaving the house.
Who moves first, how to move, the packing and disposal of items before moving, the rules after leaving the house, and the arrangement of manpower everywhere are all minute and complicated.
Lu Pheasant is not afraid of trouble. The difficult thing is whether Fourth Brother can delegate all his powers to her.
Si Fujin was wondering in the house, which of the concubines in the backyard didn't have his own thoughts in mind.
On the day Mrs. Song gave birth to a daughter, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wu were in their own room. They couldn't really sleep. They lay on the bed with their eyes open and waited for the news ahead.
Knowing that they gave birth to a daughter, the concubines felt relieved. Then came the news that Ms. Li was punished for trying to frame Song Gege and rushed to the back room.
Wu asked about the details in detail, thinking that, as Fujin said, Li's punishment was too light.
However, at the moment of leaving the palace, Li apparently directly withdrew from competing with them for a good courtyard in the fourth elder brother's residence.
At present, the direct descendant Fujin has just entered the house, and for the sake of the dignity of the main family, he will not add anyone else for the time being.
Mrs. Song's good luck was that she gave birth to a daughter safely, but she was not favored. For the sake of giving Fourth Brother his first heir, her courtyard was not much different.
What remains is the fight between the Wu family and the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu is stupid and stupid. If Mrs. Wu can't suppress her, where will her place be in the future?
But after giving gifts to Fujin earlier, her way of making money stopped for some reason. How can I please my master now?
When Wu was hesitant, Liu firmly followed the path of a mistress. She took a look at Little Princess during the third bath, and then came to greet Fujin every day.
Fujin was not always free to see her, but at least he would give her a plate of snacks, and the nanny who was waiting beside him gently asked her to go back.
Mrs. Liu will go back obediently when she has finished sitting at the time she has set.
Even when they met, Mrs. Liu didn't say anything nonsense. After saying hello and greetings, she still took out her embroidery needle and started doing her own work.
Occasionally, Fujin would take a look at her and praise her for the ingenuity of her new tricks, which would make Mrs. Liu happy for a long time.
In this case, Wu felt that he could not sit still and wait for death.
But let her, like Liu, get in front of Fujin and take the initiative to perform music to please Fujin. Wu thought she couldn't do it.
Brother Si has not been to the backyard for a long time.
On this day, the fourth elder brother returned to his elder brother's house after riding and shooting in the study. When he was about to go to Fujin's house, he was stopped by a little girl carrying a food box: "Greetings to the master."
Yinzhen stopped and subconsciously turned his fingers on the jade ring.
The little girl knelt down and hurriedly poured out the words she had prepared: "Sir, Wu Gege has prepared some new snacks for you to taste."
Su Peisheng couldn't see that the fourth elder brother was unhappy now. This Wu Gege had never been outstanding, so where did he have the courage to ask the girl to bring snacks to the master?
He sideways blocked his master.
The fourth elder brother waved his sleeves and left.
The girl still looked disappointed.
Su Peisheng: "Go down quickly! I have been merciful to you today and will not punish you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Su, for your suggestion."
When something like this went wrong, Yinzhen's face turned two points more unhappy than usual when he entered Sifujin Courtyard.
Lu Pheasant remained calm and said as he was serving tea: "Let me try the Longjing before the rain this year."
Xiao Fujin already got the new tea that just arrived?
Yinzhen looked over and said, "Did Fujin pay his respects to Enie?"
Lu Pheasant: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."
Yinzhen lowered his head and took a sip to warm himself up. After his complexion returned to normal, he thought about Wu's actions today and asked, "After the mansion is built, does Fujin have any ideas on how to arrange the courtyard?"
