"I'm afraid this person is not very innocent." Lin Yutong said, blowing the brother written by Fourth Master, and then gently picked it up and put it aside, signaling Su Peisheng to pay more attention.

The Fourth Master laughed and said, "There are thirty-six wives in the house, and he can't afford them with his little salary."

It's just that I can't move for now.

The noise these children made this time was big enough.

Lin Yutong was worried about Hong Zhou, "There are four children in this line, and Hong Zhou is not the only one..." That child is also a treasure.

"Thirteenth has arranged for someone to take over." The Fourth Master said and told Su Peisheng, "Call Zhang Boxing and Zhang Penghie."

Zhang Boxing is the Minister of Rites, and once served as the governor of Jiangsu. His most shining political achievements were also during his tenure as governor of Jiangsu. This was around the 45th year of Kangxi reign. Zhang Boxing played a major role in the Gali corruption case when he was the governor of Liangjiang.

He plays an important role. He has always been praised for his integrity and uprightness.

And Zhang Penghie is now a bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion and one of the officials promoted by the late emperor who went to Jiangnan. The late emperor once praised him and said, "There is no honest official in the world like him." This shows how prosperous his reputation for incorruptibility is. Since it was the late emperor who went to Jiangnan.

Looking at the promoted officials, he once served as an official in the south of the Yangtze River, and was once promoted to the governor of Liangjiang. Later he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and the Minister of the Ministry of War. He spent half of the six ministries, and now he is a bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion, which is equivalent to

Yu Prime Minister.

After reviewing the resumes of these two people in his mind, Lin Yutong had a good idea. Fourth Master planned to ask these two people to preside over the Jiangsu corruption case.

It was not easy to see foreign ministers, so Lin Yutong came out of the study and went to the back.

"Master." Bitao replaced Zizhu and became the last powerful girl around her. "Master, Eunuch Zhang is back. When I saw that my master hadn't come back yet, I asked him to go down and change clothes first."

Lin Yutong stopped taking off his clothes. So Zhang Qilin is back? "Bring him over after he has changed his clothes."

Bi Tao responded and went down. Before Lin Yutong had a cup of tea to cool down, Zhang Qilin hurried in and said, "Master..."

"Stop being so polite." Lin Yutong called out and asked directly, "How is the matter I asked you to inquire about?"

"Reply to your Majesty, it's roughly clear." Zhang Qilin stood up and saw that there was no other person waiting in the room, so he whispered, "Yue Xing'a is not on duty, and his relationship with Mr. Tong San and his son is very indifferent. On the contrary, he has a very indifferent relationship with Kua.

The relationship with Master Dai is closer."

Yue Xing'a is the son of Long Keduo and his first wife, and Kua Dai is the cousin next door to him.

"How is Kua Dai like a person?" Lin Yutong asked about this person.

Zhang Qilin did not hesitate and just said: "I miss you so much about Prime Minister Tong..."

Tong Xiang refers to Tong Guowei.

It is human nature to miss the prominence of the Tong family when Tong Guowei was in power. No matter how prosperous Long Ke was, this glory could not be achieved by his cousin. It is not unusual to feel a bit resentful towards him now.

Lin Yutong nodded, "I heard that Mr. Tong San and his concubine named Li Si have a son..."

"Yes!" Zhang Qilin didn't understand why the empress was so interested in Mr. Tong's family affairs, but he had asked about all the things that the master might be emotionally involved in. "This young master's name is Yuzhu, and now he is the internal guard and Feng Luan.

The envoy..."

Luan Yishi is the honor guard for the emperor's travels. He can only serve as a guard several times a year, but he can show his face in front of others every time. The work is easy and decent, and he has a lot of salary and silver reward. This is something that many princes and nobles are rushing to give to their children.

Arranged place to go.

The eldest son had nothing to do, but the second son was appointed as the envoy of Luanyi.

This is very intriguing.

Zhang Qilin seemed to know what Lin Yutong was thinking, and said directly: "I heard that the concubine once threatened to inherit the title of first-class Duke for his son. Later, I don't know how this Yue Xing'a persuaded Kua Dai.

After persuading the clan, the matter was shelved for the time being."

There is no reason to ask a concubine to inherit the title when the eldest son is there. The clan will interfere, but Yue Xing'a is not entirely stupid.

Zhang Qilin reported something in a low voice, "Yue Xing'a's wife is the niece of Mrs. Kuadai."

No wonder.

"What's the temperament of these two brothers?" Lin Yutong thought for a while and asked again.

Zhang Qilin knew that the Empress was not only asking about temperament, but also about relationships.

He thought about it in his mind, and then said cautiously: "Yue Xing... has a gentle temperament and doesn't like to cause trouble. It's rare to find out about him outside. Even if Mr. Tong is in the spotlight now, when it comes to this

There are very few eldest young masters..."

A gentle temperament means that he is not aggressive enough and does not like to cause trouble. To a certain extent, he is accustomed to giving in and is a bit cowardly. There is little news about him outside, which proves that Longkodo has a deep affection for this son.

It's true that he doesn't pay much attention to it and doesn't value it very much, but Yue Xing'a seems to accept it well and is very low-key in his behavior.

"As for Yuzhu..." Zhang Qilin paused for a moment and then told the truth, "This young master is not like his Ama Eniang. He is flamboyant but not domineering, and is naughty but not bullying men and dominating women or any other extreme things...

…”

Lin Yutong was a little surprised. This meant that Li Si'er's son was a little naughty, but he was not bad.

Zhang Qilin met Lin Yutong's gaze and nodded, "The relationship between the two brothers is quite harmonious. Not long ago, Yue Xing'a and Yue were bullied, and it was Yuzhu who helped to get justice... Even for the sake of the title, Yuzhu

Zhu went to the clan and said that he was supposed to be his eldest brother, so Li Si'er got sick for a while..."

Ha! If this is true, this can be regarded as a bad bamboo producing good bamboo shoots.

"I know!" Lin Yutong waved his hand, "Go down."

Zhang Qilin stood up and retreated silently.

Lin Yutong laid out the chess pieces on the table leisurely. The Tong family's affairs were really interesting. Especially Yue Xing'a, this person might be useful. She placed the chess pieces in her hand on one foot of the chessboard.

What role would this humble chess piece play if placed here?

Just as she was lost in thought, Bitao came in and whispered: "Concubine Yu has been waiting for half an hour to smash the Changchun Palace."

Geng?

This was already the eighteenth time she asked to see Hong Zhou after he left the capital.

Although mothers are worried when their children travel thousands of miles, there are definitely very few people like Mr. Geng who are only willing to keep their children close to them for safety.

After passing by, I saw Mrs. Geng waiting in the hall with an embarrassed look on her face. The waiters below did not neglect her, and Hongshi's daughter-in-law Dong E was still accompanying her.

Lin Yutong came in and dismissed Dong E's family, "Go! Hongshi can't do it alone..." The two of them have been soaking in the greenhouse for the past few days, and they don't know what they are doing. But Dong E's family is very happy.

, it is rare for the couple to stay together. After all, it is an adult son, and it is against the rules to run to his aunt's palace alone. Regardless of whether he is willing or not, he must take his wife with him. For this reason, Dong E's wife Lin Yutong

It is grateful.

When Lin Yutong asked her to go, she turned around and served the tea herself before retreating.

Geng smiled awkwardly: "Sanfujin is really filial..."

There is no way to tell whether you are filial or not in the royal family. It is not that you are unfilial, but you dare not be unfilial. Furthermore, if you hide here, you don't have to face Concubine Qi.

Lin Yutong pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down!" Seeing Mr. Geng sit down, he said: "I know you are worried about Hong Zhou, but Hong Zhou is not only your son, but also the son of Lord Long Live. He must be Lord Long Live first.

His son, first the fifth elder brother of the entire Qing Dynasty, and then the son of your concubine Yu. You are a sensible person and should have understood this a long time ago. Being born in the royal family and enjoying wealth and honor, you must have responsibilities and obligations. This is

Something you can’t escape.”

"I'm scared." Ms. Geng stood up in a panic. The royal family's words could be said to be a warning. She just wanted her child to behave in a safe manner and live a peaceful life. What went wrong?

Lin Yutong sighed, "Sit down." She felt that she had to tell the truth now, "Ms. Geng, if this is the case in ordinary families, what would parents be most worried about when their son gets older?"

"What are you most worried about?" Mr. Geng pursed his lips. "What you are most worried about is not taking the right path, not being able to stand on your own feet, and not being able to support your family."

"Yes!" Lin Yutong agreed with her words, "Being born in the royal family, if you go astray, you will die. But you don't have to worry about being independent and self-reliant. You don't have to think about supporting your family. Anyway, I am here, and I have the emperor.

The identity given to him can ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing throughout his life. But... Geng! Have you ever asked your child? Have you ever thought about what kind of person he wants to be? What kind of person can he become?

do you know?"

Geng was speechless, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Lin Yutong wanted to talk more, but Bitao came in, saying that Aunt Ping from Cining Palace was here.

"Please." Lin Yutong stood up and straightened his clothes to show respect.

Geng stood up and stood behind Lin Yutong, looking a little embarrassed.

Aunt Ping came in, saw Li, and said: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has a message for Concubine Yu."

To Gunn?

Lin Yutong was stunned, Geng's face turned pale, and he knelt down with a pop.

Aunt Ping had no expression on her face and said in the tone of the Queen Mother: "Ms. Geng, the fifth elder brother is the emperor's elder brother. He is controlled by the emperor, educated by the queen, and taught by the master who goes to the study. The Ai family is asking you now, do you know

Who are you?"

Geng's forehead was pressed to the ground and he did not dare to speak.

Lin Yutong sighed inwardly. Geng had really gone through some troubles recently. He ran to Changchun Palace three times a day. There was no such reason. It wasn't that he couldn't control it. After all, he was the biological mother of his child. No matter how he managed it, it wouldn't be wrong.

. She and the fourth master are both understanding. But the Queen Mother cannot understand. She probably feels that she, the queen, has no legitimate son, and does not want to offend the concubine who has a son. This is to support herself. Thinking about it, she is,

The Queen Mother once told the Fourth Master and the Fourteenth that she had no involvement in the upbringing of any of the two sons. Everything was what the late Emperor said, and she never exceeded the rules.

That's right! Even ordinary concubines don't ask their aunt to teach them. It doesn't matter what their aunt says. Sometimes the Geng family may not be as good as the Li family in this regard.

Now Hongshi, with Fujin by his side all day long, what did Li say? He didn't even ask.

If Mr. Geng had interfered with Hong Zhou's getting close to her, then that would be fine. It was all a trivial matter. But now what she was interfering with was a big matter, a major court matter. Investigating corruption was such a big deal, and it was later reported that the fifth elder brother's mother was...
