Chapter 124 The Story of Clearing (33)(1/2)
Qingchuan Story 33
Winter comes silently.
Before Lin Yutong could react, a heavy snow came overwhelmingly.
"I always feel that this year's snow is coming very early." Lin Yutong put the tender beef into the pot, then put it into the bowl for the Fourth Master. "Don't you know if Honghui and the others are supplying charcoal in the palace?"
"I'm asking someone to stare at me. I can't stand the grievances at all." The Fourth Master sucked, and it seemed that it was so hot.
Lin Yutong cut a lot of chopped peppers, but who knew that the Fourth Master had put a lot of them in the bowl of ingredients. He smiled and said, "That's the chili pepper I specially asked people to save. You'll have enough flavor now." As he said that, he took the fruit wine and poured him a glass of fruit wine and handed it over.
The Fourth Master took it and ate the sweet potatoes and potato cubes in Lin Yutong's bowl, and then he felt a little better. "It's too spicy."
Lin Yutong took a small bowl and said, "I'll change another bowl for you." People who can't eat spicy food and love spicy food can't afford to hurt them.
The Fourth Master waved his hand, "I always feel that there is nothing missing without this smell."
It was snowing heavily and the children were not there. Hongzhao went to bed early. He only sat opposite the couple on the kang and set up a pot to eat hot pot.
Lin Yutong was surprised to see that the Fourth Master was eating sweet potatoes. Anyway, Honghui was the most shameful thing to put in a salty and spicy pot.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" The Fourth Master saw Lin Yutong staring at him, and thought the sauce was stuck to his face, so he wiped it with his hand.
Lin Yutong thought to herself that the Fourth Master who ate sweet potatoes was quite down-to-earth. But she said, "Look at how handsome I am."
The Fourth Master couldn't help but laughed, "No," but it was a good mood to be poor.
At night, Lin Yutong didn't dare to put meat into the bowl like the Fourth Master. She only picked some vegetarian ones, and the taste was OK.
"I'm afraid of being fat again." The Fourth Master asked.
Lin Yutong nodded, "Eating meat at night is not good for the skin." No matter how big the golden finger is, you still have healthy living habits.
The Fourth Master looked at Lin Yutong's face, "In the past few years, you have become younger and younger. This face is even tenderer than a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. You are not afraid."
Lin Yutong rarely saw the Fourth Master saying something to praise him, and for a moment, she felt really beautiful.
In the past two years, the relationship between the two has been very peaceful, supporting each other, and getting along with each other is considered harmonious. Especially after having Hongzhao, it looks like a real couple.
At night, if there was no one lying beside me, I would be a little uncomfortable. I felt that not only the bed was half empty, but the entire room felt empty.
Lying on the bed, listening to the howling north wind, Lin Yutong breathed comfortably.
"So what's wrong?" The Fourth Master closed his eyes and patted Lin Yutong's back with his hands, and asked.
Lin Yutong smiled and said, "I feel happy."
As long as she thinks that she is warm and peaceful in the house, she doesn't have to suffer from the severe cold outside, she feels happy. Her demand for happiness is sometimes so low.
The Fourth Master obviously misunderstood Lin Yutong’s meaning and smiled and said, “It’s so happy to be next to me.”
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment, rolled her eyes in her heart, and said, "Yes! You are happy."
These words obviously pleased the master. Lin Yutong obviously felt his chest tremble, and then a pleasant laugh came out.
Lin Yutong felt a sudden feeling in her heart. This person is not someone else, but the Fourth Master. Isn’t he happy if he has it, but others don’t have it?
Both of them felt happy, wrapped in a quilt and tossed for half a night. The Fourth Master left satisfied in the morning.
Recently, he is really busy. But no matter how busy he is, he still has to go back tonight, otherwise Fu Jin would probably not feel happy.
Dai Duo and Wu Sidao felt that the Fourth Master was in a good mood today, so they dared to speak boldly.
"...It is imperative to clear the debts of the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor's suggestion of three or four times was that he hoped that someone could understand the difficulties of the court and pay back all the debts immediately. Even if he couldn't pay them back, repaying part of them could solve the current dilemma. But this person's heart..." Dai Duo whispered.
The Fourth Master pushed the roasted chestnuts to Dai Duo and said, "In the opinion of Mr., should I accept this errand or not?"
Dai Duo bowed and took the chestnuts on the table and slowly peeled them. "If someone comes to pick them up, the Fourth Master will not pick them up. If no one comes to pick them up, the Fourth Master will be able to pick them up."
This is actually the same as what he was planning. The Fourth Master nodded and pushed the chestnut to Wu Si and said, "Try it, this is a variety that the concubine found from somewhere. Although it is small, it tastes the best."
Wu Sidao quickly thanked, "But this is an offensive thing. After this matter, I have to be cautious. If I guess it is good, I am afraid that with the Eighth Master's character, I will not be so popular."
The Fourth Master smiled slightly, that's what he said.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming, the emperor is concerned about his reputation and says nothing. He is not in a hurry, and others will not be in a hurry.
This year, the emperor also lived a very simple life. With such obvious hints, but everyone still did not have the consciousness to pay back the money. What can the emperor do?
When the first month of the year passed, the emperor rejected the memorial to renovate the Taimiao.
Every piece of the matter is all an indication of no money.
It’s really the old man who owes money, and the grandson who asks for money. Even the creditor Kangxi, who encounters this problem, finds it difficult.
He wanted to do what the king and his subjects thought, and to achieve a good story of the king and his subjects.
But when the kindness is rewarded like this, Kangxi probably feels bad either.
This is how friends borrow money from each other. When they lend it out, they are in love and really ask for debt, as if the original relationship has been lost.
If you really want a debt, will the kindness of borrowing money still exist?
Therefore, this person who wants debt is difficult to do. If he doesn't come, he will definitely not be able to take it back. But if he comes, he is so cruel, I am afraid that the emperor will not be happy. This is not only because of the kindness that he has not given up, but even in the end he complains and feels resentful. Why is this?
Debt collection is not a good job.
Kangxi looked at the son standing below, "...I have to take charge of this matter. Look, who will do it?"
The Prince Zhi would definitely not do this job. The Mingzhu party used to claim to be his disciples. Anyway, he had never heard of some of them. When Mingzhu was prominent, they were afraid that they would take a lot of money from the Ministry of Revenue. Isn’t this a joke? This is not only a matter of attacking one’s own people, but also a conflict with the prince’s side. Originally, it was just a debt collection, purely a debt collection. Isn’t it about escalating conflicts with the prince’s people? Don’t say that you can’t do it, even the emperor will definitely not give you this job.
The prince raised his eyebrows, which had nothing to do with him. Even if his disciples owe money, they didn't spend it on him.
The third master thought to himself: collect debts? Who should I ask for it? Should I ask for it from the Prince Zhi? Or the Prince of the Crown? Not to mention the disciples, they even have debts from the Ministry of Revenue. There are also these brothers, relatives of the royal family, and nobles. They offended the crowd. Even if they dared to offend others, he would not have the courage to practice with the Prince of Zhi and the Crown. So he decisively retreated.
The fifth master has always been careless, and he doesn't even move his eyebrows as if he didn't hear it.
Master Qi still has the leisure to look around, as if he is looking for who this brave brother is? Anyway, it's not just me.
The Eighth Master looked at his eyes and his nose and his heart was hilarious. He was always kind and kind. How could he do such a debt collection? Isn’t this a joke?
The Ninth Master's eyes fell directly on the Fourth Master. Among the brothers, he had a face to collect debts. If he didn't go, who would go?
When he saw the Fourth Master, the remaining brothers all aimed at the Fourth Master.
It seems that everyone is saying that if you have a debt collection face, don’t be humble.
The Fourth Master cursed in his heart, this group of cheating people, ask what is the most annoying creature in his life?
That must be a brother.
These cheating brothers are the most annoying species in the world, no doubt about it.
Kangxi looked at these sons and said, "What? Can no one share the worries of the emperor's father?"
Although the Fourth Master had already planned to take over, he was still very unhappy when his brothers pushed him out silently. "My son is willing to share the worries of the emperor." But he said in his heart, you are pushing me out now. When I come to ask for debts, don't blame me for being ruthless. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at these brothers. The meaning is very obvious, and this is all your own fault.
Why did you forget that there is still this one?
Everyone mentioned in their hearts that it was really hard for whom to cheat?
Kang Xie glanced at the Fourth Master and asked again: "Is the Fourth Master the Only One? Who assisted the Fourth Master to do the errand?"
Thirteen stood up by himself, "My son is willing to share the worries of the Emperor Ama and assist the Fourth Brother." He never did any other errands except with the prince. Although this matter offended people, it was much better to follow the fourth brother to run errands behind him than to tie him to the prince. For others, it was a matter of gain and loss. For himself, it was just a matter of more or less loss. But there was only one reason to get closer to the fourth brother in the future, right?
The Fourth Master didn't expect Thirteen to follow him at this time. He was still a little surprised.
Kangxi nodded. The fourth brother was still safe in doing things. This was decided.
Seeing the old man leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What should I do if I threw this hot potato to the fourth brother and fourth brother?
The Fourth Master turned around and had not spoken yet. Prince Zhi followed the prince and retreated slowly. The Third Master, Fifth Master, Seventh Master, made a bunch of them, and didn't know what to say, and said while walking. His feet were very neat. The seventh Master's legs seemed particularly flexible.
The eighth and nineth masters and tenth masters trotted away together. Zi Si stomped his feet and said, "If anyone else doesn't stand out, you will love to stand out. Sooner or later, you will offend people completely." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiu Mai shouted. Si Si snorted, turned around and ran away.
Thirteen smiled awkwardly and said, "Fourth brother, we two brothers are really hiding now, and we are not welcome."
The Fourth Master smiled and said, "Let's go! Thirteenth brother, come back home with me, let's make a decision. By the way, ask your sister-in-law to cook by yourself, let's have a drink."
"Brother, I think that the wine my sister-in-law brews is not for a day or two. This time it can satisfy my cravings." Thirteen smiled and followed the Fourth Master out of the palace.
Lin Yutong heard the words of the Fourth Master conveyed by Su Peisheng and went to the kitchen.
The Fourth Master invited Thirteen to sit down, and invited Dai Duo and Wu Sidao out. There was no intention of avoiding it at all.
Thirteen was immediately flattered. These aides were all extremely private matters. The fourth brother had no cover in front of him. How could this trust not move people?
Dai Duo and Wu Sidao are both good at plotting people. With a flash of eyes, they know the purpose of the Fourth Master.
I am so heart-to-hearted that Thirteenth Master is more inclined to Fourth Master.
"In my opinion, where should I start?" The Fourth Master looked at the two of them and asked.
Wu Sidao smiled and said, "The Fourth Master is sure to have a good idea. If you ask us to say it, you will be a little disrespectful." He must have to start with the prince, the prince Zhi and the princes.
Dai Duo said, "We must pay this debt, but we cannot pay it hard. I must be calculating in my heart."
It was not until the evening that the Fourth Master kept the Thirteenth Master in the front yard and returned to the main yard that Lin Yutong knew that the Fourth Master was really going to collect the debt.
"You have to ask the Thirteenth and Fourteenth brothers first, seeing that there are difficulties in their mansion." Lin Yutong said first. Thirteenth Master follows the Fourth Master's hardcore and cannot take care of one or two. Fourteenth is the real brother. If he really can't turn around, he can't force himself. Even if the Fourth Master puts the money in, it's OK.
The Fourth Master lay on the kang and said, "The wife of other people's family is afraid of subsidizing the money to her brother-in-law and sister-in-law. You are fine, but I haven't said it yet, but you want to spend money all over the sky. Aren't you afraid that you don't have money?"
Who are you lying to? Over the years, the emperor has been away from the capital for half of the year, and the Fourth Master is basically the one who is arranged by the emperor to stay and directors. Although he is not as popular as the Eighth Master, no one dares to underestimate him. He is willing to worship the temple gate for nothing and will not miss such an important person.
