Chapter 215 They Have a Chance
"Well, there's nothing else. As long as my master combines work and rest and eats these meals, I'll be satisfied." Ruoyin put the meals in the food box on the desk.
Fourth Master glanced at the dim sum, and saw that they looked pretty good and whetted one's appetite.
But he just glanced at it, and said: "This is what women eat. If you want to eat it, you can sit and eat it. I still need to review official documents."
Ruoyin rolled his eyes in his heart.
Who stipulates that snacks and desserts are women's patents?
This is probably the late stage of the straight steel man's cancer, there is no cure!
But fourth master opened his mouth, presumably he was really busy with something important.
Looking at his thick eyebrows, they were already furrowed impatiently, so she had no choice but to be obedient, and carried the food box to the side to eat some fruit.
Otherwise, I'm really afraid that the other party will drive him out.
Fourth master is quite obedient when he sees women.
It seems that she has a strong desire to stay here.
So, the corner of his mouth raised a smile that knew everything.
It stands to reason that she has been in the house for so long, so there is no need for her to still be wearing a cloak.
Besides, this late autumn, even though it is a bit cool, it is not necessary to wear a cloak from the main courtyard to the front courtyard.
The only thing that can be said makes sense is that there is a lot of knowledge in it.
Therefore, you can't come directly, you have to cover it with a cloak.
However, he has always been black-bellied, see through but not expose.
Anyway, if she doesn't move, he won't move.
Ruoyin smiled coquettishly at him despite the tremendous pressure he had seen through.
Fourth master looked indifferent and continued to review the papers.
Ruoyin drank a small bowl of fruit.
He secretly glanced at fourth master.
He has a focused expression, and his gestures are full of the confidence and arrogance unique to successful men.
Sure enough, serious men fascinate women the most.
After looking around, she took small steps and sat down opposite fourth master again.
Fourth Master, who was writing with his head down, seemed to notice something, his eyes turned slightly, but he didn't look up.
Ruoyin pretended to pull the butterfly slipknot on the cloak, and said casually, "Ah, I've been here for so long, I forgot to understand the cloak."
With that said, she untied the cloak on her own.
The man who had seen through everything a long time ago continued to write with his head down, ignoring her.
Seeing this, Ruoyin gritted his teeth and asked in the sweetest voice, "Master, where are the clothes hanging?"
"Find a place by yourself." The man didn't even lift his head.
Ruoyin looked around, even if she saw Mu Shi on the left, she had no choice but to pretend not to see.
"What, where there is Mu Shi, people didn't see it at all."
"Just let it go if you can't see it. It's not a big deal. Didn't you see that Master is busy?" The man's voice was hoarse, as if he was impatient.
Ruoyin was about to be blown away by this man.
So, she simply cheated and threw the cloak on the desk.
With a "snap", her cloak was covered with the booklet and the Langhao pen that the man was writing.
Fourth master raised his head and looked at the woman coldly.
In his eyes, there was a black streamer flashing, and there seemed to be a layer of ice around him, which made people shudder.
The woman who took off her cloak was only wearing a bright red Tang Dynasty-style skirt.
Seeing the man's Adam's apple rolling, "Come here."
"No." She is not a pet, if he lets her go, does she have to go?
"I'll give you ten seconds." The man's eyes fell on her, "If you don't come over in ten seconds, the master will come over soon."
The ship's clock in the house made a "tick-tick" sound, and the seconds kept turning.
Ruoyin understood. From the moment she entered the room, the cunning man must have seen through everything.
No wonder he didn't go to her main courtyard recently. He had planned for a long time to wait for the day when she came to find him in the front courtyard.
He is so black-bellied, and there is no way to hide his own little plan in front of him.
Fourth Master looked at the woman's beautiful eyes bursting with anger, and her slightly parted lips.
After a few strides, she came to her, "It's been more than ten seconds, you have no chance. Remember, you are the one who came to find me."
Ruoyin: "..."
She glared at the cunning man with a look of frustration...................... ...................................................
At night, Ruoyin rested in the front yard.
In the early morning of the next day, she woke up very early to help fourth master change and wash before going to court.
After fourth master went to court, Ruoyin returned to the main courtyard.
Seeing her coming back, the servants of the main courtyard smiled and stepped forward to greet her, thinking that their master is really capable!
After all, Fujin was the first person to stay in the study room in the front yard without being punished.
Grandma Liu helped Ruoyin back, and seeing her tired face, she said, "Master, you're exhausted, so what's the morning routine?"
"Ask someone to bring me a message, and tell me that I'm very tired, so I won't have to do my morning routine today." Ruoyin finished speaking, and then went back to the room to catch up on the return sleep.
When I woke up, it was already noon.
Ruoyin stretched lazily, she was a little dazed, and said to Nanny Liu who was coming up to serve her, "What time is it?"
"Return to master, it's just at noon, Qiaofeng went to the dining room to pick up the meal, you can have lunch just in time." Grandma Liu picked out a piece of clothing and changed it for her.
At the same time, he grinned and said: "Master, the master sent a bunch of rewards to our main courtyard. There are fashionable jewelry, high-quality rouge powder, silk, and various fresh teas, snacks, and fruits."
"Well, remember to go to the treasury to get some silver and give it to the servants." Ruoyin adhered to the principle of sharing blessings.
But every time there is a reward from the fourth master, the servants also get a lot of benefits.
"Okay." Grandma Liu agreed with a smile.
Since that day, fourth master has been resting in the main courtyard for several days.
He also kept his word, and Wu Shi never came to the main courtyard to bother Ruoyin again.
Even every time I come back to save time in the morning, I do my duty.
He didn't dare to disgust Ruoyin anymore, instead he seemed very unfamiliar.
Ruoyin is Fujin, she disdains forming cliques with the backyard.
She's not afraid that others will alienate her, but she's afraid that someone will stick to her and turn against her.
Li Shi and Niu Gulushi looked at Ruoyin with jealous eyes that could catch fire.
Especially Li Shi, she also visited fourth master's study before.
The final result can be said to be embarrassing and embarrassing.
Get kicked out, reprimanded, grounded.
People are more than people, it's maddening.
Why did I change to Fujin? I went there in the afternoon and only came out the next morning. Even the morning parade of that day was waived.
Moreover, Fourth Master's rewards have never stopped in the main courtyard!
------
Compared with the seemingly peaceful backyard, there is already an undercurrent in the court hall.
The most unlucky thing is Nalan Mingzhu.
And if he is unlucky, it means that Zhijun King is unlucky.
After all, Zhijun Wang is not very good at talking on weekdays and offended many people.
Nalan Pearl is his most powerful backing.
Before Mrs. Mingzhu's funeral was over, Nalan Mingzhu was sued by Suo'etu's party and sued Kangxi.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony at this moment, several ministers are impeaching Nalan Mingzhu.
In fact, the open and secret struggle between Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu has long been a beautiful scene in the court and a joke after dinner.
Kangxi has long been used to it.
As the arbitrary emperor of Gan Gang, not only did he not get angry because of it.
On the contrary, the more they fought, the happier Kangxi was.
Sometimes I really can't stand it, so I just act as a peacemaker and say a few words.
But this time is different, Nalan Mingzhu is not here.
Only Suo'etu's party was there, and he made the matter of Mingzhu public to the court.
And Kangxi was also made a little unhappy by Nalan Mingzhu some time ago.
Nalan Mingzhu said in public that the prince was wrong, which made Kangxi feel embarrassed.
No matter how bad the prince is, he is still the crown prince he has chosen.
Where can others insinuate.
Doesn't this clearly slap Kangxi in the face, does it mean that Kangxi's vision is not good?
But at that time, Kangxi didn't have an attack, but he secretly remembered it in his heart.
Kangxi's thoughts, which Suo'etu had guessed, came out while Mrs. Mingzhu passed away.
Looking at Kangxi's Long Yan, he became more and more gloomy.
And those ministers are still talking about Nalan Mingzhu.
"Your Majesty, Nalan Mingzhu corrupted the law and abused his power. Whenever there is a vacant position in the court, his cronies will spread the word to recruit people. He even threatened that whoever gives the most money will get the position."
"Yes, Your Majesty, at the end of each year, local officials, large and small, step through the threshold and line up to give gifts to Nalan Pearl. Those who rushed here, in order to give a gift, have to stay in an inn near Mingxiang Mansion for ten and a half months."
"Not only that, the decoration of Mingxiang's mansion is luxurious and extremely extravagant. For a great scholar, the pavilions and pavilions in the mansion are actually built according to the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and waterside pavilions are so extravagant that they are piled up with white marble carvings. Every winter, the servants of Mingxiang's mansion gather feathers of various colors to make wild ducks, birds and other birds, and put them on the ten-acre wide lake for decoration."
so and so...
These obvious charges alone say so much.
If those trivial matters were added up, it would take three days and three nights to talk about it.
As for the other officials present, some were envious and some were resentful.
Tsk tsk tsk, look at them, the lake in the mansion alone is ten acres wide.
The total area of their house is not even ten mu!
They are all officials, and they live a life of royal rank, but they live a life of poverty.
Kangxi listened to everyone's rhetoric, flipping through the memorial to impeach Mingzhu in his hand.
He knew that this was Suo'etu suppressing Nalan Mingzhu.
And he was also dissatisfied with Nalan Mingzhu, so he followed this step.
Otherwise, with so many officials present, if there is no explanation, whoever is an upright official will be greedy for money.
For a moment, the pressure of the emperor hovered over the palace.
Kangxi's eyes were colder and sharper than before, he sneered and said, "I never thought that Yu Guozhu and Nalan Mingzhu would sell out all good officials."
Seeing that Kangxi Longyan was furious, no one dared to look up to peek, but all lowered their heads, waiting to be dealt with.
"Nalan Mingzhu, Yu Guozhu and others, who are modest on the surface, corrupted the law in private, had an eye for money, used power for personal gain, formed a party for personal gain, and now decree that all of them will be imprisoned in the clan mansion and dismissed from all positions!"
Hearing this, the officials readily accepted it.
Even fourth master, who always had a cold face, had a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Only the King of Zhijun cupped his hands and said: "Huang Ama, I think this is too hasty. After all, Mingzhu has been working hard for decades..."
"Presumptuous! I have made up my mind!" Kangxi reprimanded angrily, "If anyone pleads for Mingzhu again, we will be imprisoned in the clan mansion together!"
His voice was so loud that the officials all knelt down.
The prince secretly laughed, as long as Nalan Mingzhu fell and Zhijun Wang was in front of him, there would be no advantage.
It would be even more so if King Zhijun was imprisoned in the clan mansion again.
The rest of the elder brothers who were ready to move had the same idea as Prince Rare.
I hope that the king of Zhijun will not be cowardly, and it is best to lock him up in the clan mansion.
In this case, in order to restrain the prince, Kangxi will definitely promote a valued prince.
Anyway, although the third master is a county king, he has always kept a low profile, so it must be impossible.
And the position that can compete with the crown prince is not the title of the county king, but the prince.
In this way, they have a chance.
It's a pity that the king of Zhijun was a little timid, he had already knelt on the ground and trembled, so he dared to talk too much.
He is the king of the county, if he enters the clan's mansion, wouldn't he have no room to stand up.
Even if he is released, how can he hold his head up in the future.
I had to kneel on the ground and talk to the officials: "The emperor/Huang Ama is wise, the emperor/Huang Ama is long live, long live, long live."
Seeing this, Kangxi flicked the corner of his bright yellow robe and left angrily.
Just after Nalan Mingzhu was thrown into prison, everyone thought that Suo'etu was the only party in the court.
However, this Nalan Pearl is not a vegetarian either.
