Chapter 116 Chapter 116(2/2)
After the two were pushed out, the fourth elder brother hurriedly went to Luo Jianing and told her about the matter: "What do you think Huang Ama means by this move?"
Since Si Age is here, Si Fujin will naturally be brought with him. Unless there is some unavoidable situation, or Si Fujin refuses to follow him. Otherwise, Si Age will bring Si Fujin with him wherever he goes.
Luo Jianing was eating snacks and looking leisurely at the houses and surrounding trees that were different from those in the capital. She didn't expect that Brother Si would leave and come back so quickly.
"Huang Ama asked Suo'etu to come back?" Luo Jianing thought for a while and said: "Maybe it has something to do with the prince."
Yinzhen nodded lightly: "Huang Ama already said that he recalled Suo'etu in order to let Suo'etu take care of Yinzhen. But I don't think this matter is that simple."
Luo Jianing thought about it carefully for a while and said hesitantly: "Is it related to the prince talking in his sleep last night?"
Last night, the prince had a fever and started to have nightmares, and he also muttered nonsense in his dreams.
The doctor was afraid that the prince would be reprimanded if there was any delay in the prince's condition, so he quickly went to the emperor to talk about the matter and asked the emperor if he wanted to find some famous local doctors to help with diagnosis and treatment.
After all, the prince's illness came on suddenly, and it might have something to do with acclimatization. I found a famous local doctor to take a look, and I can't say whether it can be cured or not. A little help would be a good starting point.
Emperor Kangxi was worried about the prince's safety, so he had no time to call in a famous local doctor, so he waved his sleeves and went to visit the prince himself.
At that time, there were only two people in the room, Emperor Kangxi and the Crown Prince.
No one knows what nonsense the prince told when he had a fever.
But what is certain is that Emperor Kangxi must have had his reasons after staying at the bedside for so many hours and suddenly saying that he wanted to recall Suo'etu.
Yinzhen thought of the bright yellow he saw, and then related to how groggy Yinzhen had been these days, and couldn't help but said: "The day before yesterday, the imperial doctor said that the prince's fever had subsided slightly, and he should be feeling better.
.Why do you talk more nonsense during the day and night?"
So the imperial doctor saw that it was not working and said that he would recommend a local famous doctor to come and have a look.
Luo Jia Ning came to his side: "Is it just pretending?"
Yinzhen smiled and did not answer, but said: "He wanted Suo'etu to come. Huang Ama felt that he was thinking about his uncle, so he asked Suo'etu to come."
Luo Jianing thoughtfully said: "Huang Ama still loves the prince very much."
The couple looked at each other and knew what the other was thinking.
The two of them stopped talking and stopped talking without continuing.
A few days later, Suo'etu arrived in Texas.
Emperor Kangxi saw that the prince was still not getting better. Although the fever in his body had receded a lot, the symptoms of nightmares and pale complexion had not improved at all but had become more serious.
He left the prince in Dezhou and ordered Suo'etu to take good care of the prince. Then he took the other children to the south of the Yangtze River.
On the way, the thirteenth elder brother was worried about the prince's health and asked Si Fujin: "Sister-in-law four, can we just leave the prince in Texas like this? If not, I will stay and take care of him. Anyway, I have been to Jiangnan. If it is okay,
If so, I will tell Huang Ama and return to Texas."
Thirteenth Brother has such a temperament, he always thinks more about others.
What's more, his wife, Concubine Min, was in poor health and passed away after so many years of procrastination. He was particularly concerned about "sickness".
It's just that no matter how worried he is about his brother, he still has some sense. Knowing that he doesn't think carefully enough when he is young, he specifically asks his fourth sister-in-law for her opinion. Now the fourth brother is following Huang Ama to discuss state affairs, otherwise he can also ask
Fourth brother's.
Luo Jianing knew that the prince had done a lot of tricks recently, but she couldn't tell her thirteenth brother clearly, so she said: "His Royal Highness the prince is with Suo'etu, so it would be bad if you go. They are a family, so if you go
In the end, you will appear to be outsiders, and the situation will be very embarrassing."
Seeing that the fourth sister-in-law disagreed, the thirteenth elder brother said that the relationship between Suo'etu and the prince was closer than that between him and the prince's biological brothers...
The thirteenth elder brother came to some understanding, smiled and gave Si Fujin his hand, and he felt relieved and no longer thought about the prince's affairs.
After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, Emperor Kangxi inspected many places and then came to Shaoxing Mansion and knocked on the door of the Gao family.
After a while, the concierge came to answer the door. Seeing the honor guard coming, his feet softened, he stumbled back and shouted: "Master! Master!"
Originally, everyone thought that Emperor Kangxi would wait for the master of the family to come out to greet him.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Kangxi laughed loudly and pointed towards the palace: "I'm afraid he has some inconvenience. Why don't we go in directly?"
His tone was full of familiarity and closeness with the master of the Gao family.
After a while, the group of people walked in and met the owner of the place, Gao Shiqi, who hurried over to greet them.
He was a favorite of the emperor. He once followed the emperor on an expedition to Galdan. Later, he returned to his hometown to support his old mother and never returned to the capital. Emperor Kangxi issued a decree to grant him an official position, but he never returned to the capital.
Now the two have not seen each other for some time.
Gao Shiqi was eight or nine years older than Kangxi, and already looked old and gray. Because of his thin body, he exuded an elegance of immortality.
Seeing Emperor Kangxi, Gao Shiqi immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Emperor Kangxi hurriedly helped him up: "Sir, there is no need to be polite. How are you these days?" The two of them walked into the house talking as usual.
When Gao Shiqi saw the brothers following Emperor Kangxi, he couldn't help but be surprised: "I heard that the emperor brought His Highness the Crown Prince with him, why didn't he see His Highness the Crown Prince today?"
"He is ill and has stayed in Dezhou." During the chat between Emperor Kangxi and Gao Shiqi, he mentioned the prince and that the prince stayed in Dezhou for treatment and recuperation, but did not mention anything about Suo'etu going to Dezhou to take care of the prince.
It turns out that the reason why Emperor Kangxi was helpless was that "Gao Shiqi and Suo'etu were at odds".
Gao Shiqi was originally a close minister of the emperor. He was knowledgeable and able to observe people's emotions. Emperor Kangxi admired him very much.
In the early days, before Gao Shiqi got rich, he once paid a visit to Suo'etu. Although Suo'etu thought that this man was a talented person, he looked down on him very much. He even revealed this idea in person and almost reduced him to dust.
.
Gao Shiqi didn't show it on his face at that time, but he remembered this in his heart.
Later, the two became officials in the same court, and their political opinions always conflicted.
Emperor Kangxi valued both of them very highly, and tried countless times to persuade them to shake hands and make peace, but to no avail. As time went by, Emperor Kangxi gave up on the plan to reconcile the two of them.
Now that he has met Gao Shiqi, he naturally does not mention what happened to Suo'etu.
However, Emperor Kangxi avoided saying it, but Gao Shiqi was very shrewd and accurately captured the loophole of "no one to take care of the prince". He asked Emperor Kangxi with a smile: "I wonder who your majesty has left to take care of the prince? If there is no one to take care of him, the emperor will
I don’t believe that I can come to Jiangnan with confidence.”
Everyone knows that Emperor Kangxi doted on the prince very much. He raised him single-handedly since he was a child, and his affection was no better than that of other children.
Gao Shiqi watched the prince grow from an ignorant child to a young man who could take charge of his own affairs, and then became calmer day by day, and he understood the prince's status in the emperor's heart.
Therefore, he was sure that the emperor could not leave the prince alone there. There must be someone trustworthy to take care of him, so that he could rest assured.
Emperor Kangxi said vaguely: "It is enough to order a minister to take care of him as he pleases."
Gao Shiqi's eyes flickered and he said with a smile: "I see. It seems that the ministers left behind by the emperor must be trustworthy people."
Emperor Kangxi: "That's natural."
Traveling is tiring after all.
Gao Shiqi tried his best to persuade the emperor to stay at Gao's house, and ordered people to quickly clean the bed in the house.
When Emperor Kangxi and his party left, Gao Shiqi whispered a few instructions. After a while, the servant came to report that Si Age and Si Fujin were enjoying flowers in the garden.
Gao Shiqi said: "Then I will also go to the garden to see the flowers."
In fact, Luo Jianing and Yinzhen had to come over to see the flowers first.
Because Emperor Kangxi wanted to give Gao Shiqi a surprise, he did not inform the Gao family in advance that the royal chariot would be coming in person. All the servants and maids of the Gao family are busy cleaning up now, and they also have to tidy up the emperor's residence first, and secondly.
Brother and Fujin's residence.
Now Emperor Kangxi went to Gao Shiqi's house to rest for a while.
The emperor's room has not yet been vacated, and Luo Jianing's and his wife's have not yet been settled.
The thirteenth elder brother heard that there were good calligraphy and paintings here, so he happily went to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings. In the study room in another courtyard, he was led over by a junior from the Gao family.
Luo Jianing was not interested in those calligraphy or paintings. Seeing that Jiangnan was exquisite and the garden was very unique, she took Yinzhen to enjoy the flowers.
Who would have thought that just by looking at the plants, she actually attracted Gao Shiqi...
Gao Shiqi walked slowly into the courtyard. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he raised his voice and asked with a smile: "Are the Fourth Master and Si Fujin still used to being here? The food, clothing, housing and transportation in Jiangnan are different from those in the capital, which has troubled you two."
Yinzhen said very politely: "Everything is fine, please worry about it."
Luo Jia stared at Gao Shiqi, who was smiling and stroking his beard. She was very speechless, but a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your kind hospitality. You can go about your business. Let's just look at the flowers here."
Gao Shiqi said: "The little old man is already at home, so how can he be 'busy'? He usually has nothing to do, just tending to the flowers and plants. The fourth master and Si Fujin's preferences are somewhat similar to the little old man."
His obviously condescending words made Si Age and Si Fujin both wary.
When I saw Gao Shiqi entering the yard, he pushed away the people around him and came to the flower garden alone. He obviously had something to say to the couple.
Luo Jianing raised her head.
Yinzhen lowered his head slightly.
Eyes facing each other.
The couple had the same thought at the same time - to be courteous for nothing was to commit adultery or theft. This old man coming to look for them must be up to no good.
In the current situation, we have to find an excuse quickly and run away together!
