Chapter 232 No matter what noise you hear tonight, you are not allowed to go out!
Lin Mingheng had made contributions before and got a small official position, but he was not conspicuous among so many children from aristocratic families.
If the Fourth Master hadn't sent someone to say hello, he might have been in a worse situation.
But when he returned to his ancestral home and became Niuhulu Mingheng, things were different.
Although he had been home for less than a year, his stepfather Niuhulu Lingzhu was not a high-ranking official.
But in a big family, everyone is connected by blood. When they finally have a promising descendant, they will of course do their best to support him.
Therefore, Lin Mingheng skipped two levels this year and was qualified to come to the frontier.
"I'm just following the escort," Mingheng smiled, and then he ate the lamb skewers Lin Mingyan gave him. "I just stood guard here."
"Everyone knows that my sister is in the Fourth Master's residence, so they asked me to come here to protect her."
Lin Mingyan felt relieved: "I feel relieved to have my brother protecting me."
The grassland is so huge. It’s okay during the day, but it becomes a bit creepy at night when dusk falls.
The Fourth Master is not here tonight. No matter how familiar the servants around him are, they are not as good as his own younger brother.
Mingheng said, "It was the Fourth Master who gave me the heads-up, otherwise it wouldn't be my turn to come here."
There are many types of guards. The first one is of course to guard the emperor, which is the job of the imperial guards.
The second is the prince, and the fact that he gets a turn depends on his connections.
Lin Mingyan understood, and after chatting for a while, she couldn't help but start to care about her brother's lifelong affairs.
Mingheng couldn't stand it any longer, so he said a few words and then escaped with the excuse of going on patrol.
Lin Mingyan smiled with a carefree expression, "Last time Mother came over, she asked me to help her keep an eye out for a suitable candidate."
"Master's character and ability are first-class, and he comes from a famous family. Of course I have to take a good look at him," Linglan said as she helped her to wash and dress.
Lin Mingyan said, "It depends on what he thinks. Even if she's a noble lady, they can't live together. They'll both suffer."
For example, the Fourth Master and his wife, their tempers cannot get along.
Just because of an imperial edict, they have to be entangled together for the rest of their lives. Isn't that a tragedy?
In modern times, divorce is still possible, but in ancient times it was considered abnormal!
So, Fujin is now perverted...
In the banquet tent, the Fourth Master sat next to the Third Master and heard him complain, "This hair is really a nuisance. It's so ugly when it's pierced."
The Third Master follows the path of a scholar who is as gentle as jade, and such hair really embarrasses him.
Moreover, he is not very good-looking, so he usually needs to dress up to make up for it.
In other words, San Ye is a handsome guy with an aura, and this hairstyle makes him hard to describe.
It would be fine normally, but now the Prince of Zhi is sitting on the left. He is a tough guy and his wild hairstyle makes him even more charming.
On the right is the Fourth Master, who is as handsome as cast. This discovery is not unusual.
Therefore, the only ugly person is him, the Third Master!
Who can bear this?
The Fourth Master frowned and looked at him: "Third brother, be careful with your words."
Everyone knows that this hair is uncomfortable, but it shows respect for the deceased Concubine Min and cannot be said casually.
It would be fine if he just complained in private, but now Thirteen is sitting there in a emaciated state. Isn't it hurtful for his brother to say this?
The Third Master felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, as if he was an inferior brother to the Fourth Master.
However, there were many people at the table, so he didn't say much and went to watch the exotic show.
Thirteen and Fourteen were sitting not far away, so of course they heard everything their two brothers said clearly.
Thirteen placed his hands on the table, trembling slightly.
His mother didn't have much ability and wasn't a noble person, but the rule of not shaving one's head for a hundred days was a rule passed down by their ancestors, not just for her.
He wanted to run over and question his third brother, why can others bear it but you can't?
If your mother died, would you also shave your head?
Fourteen saw that the corners of his eyes were red, and he was afraid that he would cause a scene at the banquet out of impulse, which would really annoy the Emperor.
She quickly held his hand and said, "Brother Thirteen, are you tired from riding? Have some milk tea and take it easy."
Thirteen finally calmed down after his mouth was blocked by a bowl of milk tea.
He sipped his milk tea in small sips, forcing himself to divert his attention to the show in the middle of the big tent.
There are two big men on the field now, holding each other and performing wrestling, which is full of power.
Thirteen thought, if he could be so strong, he would definitely pin that weakling Third Brother to the ground and beat him up.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt hungry and took a big bite of the roasted whole lamb.
On the high platform, Kangxi sat alone, his expression unclear.
This time he brought a few low-level concubines with him. No one else showed up, only Li Ying was by his side.
He watched Li Danying dodging sideways and pouring wine for him, and he sneered in his heart.
After such a long period of testing, he has become very clear that this Li promised that there is no power behind him.
He had no power at all, but he was able to kill a bannerman woman and impersonate her to enter the palace.
It can even make him obsessed for two or three days before he wakes up. What an amazing ability.
The reason she was brought along on this tour was to let the shamans from the grassland come and take a look.
Oriole promised that what was living inside this skin...
The banquet was over quickly, especially since Emperor Kangxi looked tired, and no one was so tactless as to insist on staying up all night.
The Fourth Master looked towards the high platform and saw that the Emperor looked very tired, as if he had been haunted by a fox spirit for days and nights.
He glanced at Li Ying, whom he particularly doted on, and his heart began to beat wildly!
Li agreed that it was Yi. The truth came to light after he had someone dig up Yi's grave and found another female corpse.
However, after doting on Yi for more than half a year, the emperor's strong body became so weak.
The Fourth Master couldn't help but think of those evil spirits and monsters.
Who is the Emperor? How could he not guess that there was something wrong with Li's promise?
Now he never forgets to bring it with him when he goes on tour, and he even goes straight to the frontier without going to Chengde. It must be for the shaman!
What to do? It's too difficult!
Before the Fourth Master could come up with a solution, Emperor Kangxi had already called off the banquet.
He is exhausted and needs to rest.
God knows he is only in his forties and came here in the imperial carriage. How could he be exhausted?
However, no one dared to question the emperor's words, and no one even dared to say that he looked unhappy.
After Emperor Kangxi left the stage with his pet, everyone pretended to be tired and laughed it off.
Depending on the level of one's status, they would stand up and say goodbye and go back.
When the Fourth Master received the news about Yi from Su Peisheng, he felt a chill down his spine.
Fourteen pulled Thirteen to catch up with the Fourth Master: "Four, let's go to your place to play~"
The fourth master's eyes were sharp: "What are you playing for? Go back to sleep!"
"No matter what noise you hear tonight, don't go out!"
