Chapter 2 Chapter One

On the western outskirts of Beijing, at Xizhimen and across Haidian, there is an imperial garden covering an area of ​​more than 50 acres, named Changchun Garden. Since the completion of the construction in the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, in a year, except for New Year’s Day, sacrifices to heaven and other ceremonies, you must return to the capital to personally Except for presiding, most of the other time, our old lady Kangxi stays in this garden. Danningju, located in the northwestern garden of Changchun Garden, is a one-story house leaning against mountains and rivers, with dense green shady cover, quiet and quiet, which is the place where Kangxi listened to government every day in the garden.

At this moment, in Tanning Residence, Kangxi, who is sixty-seven years old, has summoned sixteen of his thirty-five sons (fifteen sons have died, only twenty sons are left), and they are waiting for Zi Geer. Why did Huang Ama suddenly order his children to return to Beijing when Erge entered the army? Remember triads? Of course, I remember that after Chen Jinnan, the traitor of the Tiandihui, died, Wu Tianyou and other five people also passed away one after another. Unexpectedly, the only surviving vanguard, Su Hongguang, died of illness and came back to life. Huanyang changed its name to Tianyouhong because of it, founded the Triad Society mainly based on the old members of the original Hanliu organization, and still used the slogan of anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty. After more than ten years, it has done quite well.

What are you doing well?Kangxi was furious when he heard that.Back then, Tian Youhong led a group of rebels to attack the southern seven provinces, winning consecutive battles and conquering the big city repeatedly. If I hadn't ordered you to wipe out the Triads in time, would it be reasonable to continue? Since the triad society was wiped out by the son-in-law eight years ago, why does Huang Ama mention it now?Elder Sixteen said lightly. That's right, Tianyouhong, Su Hongyu, Guan Yuying and other triad leaders were all killed in battle under your design, and the triad society also disappeared as a result, but the remnants of the triad society did not die!The more Kangxi talked, the more indignant he became.They scattered all over the place, set up the Dagger Association and the Double Swords Hall, and made troubles everywhere for several years. The situation is getting worse and worse, do you know?

Speaking of this, Kangxi's old face suddenly collapsed, and he almost shed two sad tears. I think that since I was in power, I have not only been diligent in government affairs day and night, but also loved the people like a son, always put the inspection of officials and the safety of the people as the top priority, and always prioritized the prosperity of the country, but they made me hardly have a peaceful day and sleep well at night. Where did I go wrong?The words were miserable, and even the voice was pitiful, and there were only two sneaky eyes looking at the son who was standing upright in front of the case.

Yes, of course I can't sleep well, I'm too busy being a human being! Unexpectedly, a certain person ignored his tricks at all, he beat him up, a certain person remained expressionless, if he hadn't opened his eyes, people would think he was just standing up and fell asleep. It's been a long time since no one cheered, so Kangxi had no choice but to take back his begging mask in embarrassment, and put on his old father's majesty instead. In short, I want you to destroy them again! Huang Ama, Uncle Chang Ning imparted this kung fu to his son-in-law to accompany you, brother sixteen is still indifferent.It's not just to do that kind of boring stuff.

Wrong, he wants you to be like him, to accompany the successor emperor as a brother, and now letting you stay by my side is only temporary!Emperor Kangxi put on the airs of his old father and said loudly in an authoritative tone.Also, if I tell you to go, do you dare to say no? The minister would rather continue to conquer Zhunkaer, but the unworthy Ziliu elder brother remained unmoved, and as he spoke, his expression became more serious, and there was even a cruel and bloodthirsty look between his brows.You don't need to spend so much time fighting wits with those rebels, you just need to kill, kill, kill with all your strength, that's refreshing enough!

Kangxi rolled his eyes when he heard this, why did you kill so many people?It is enough for Zhunkaer to be pacified by Yinti, Nian Gengyao, Funing'an and Yue Zhongqi, he said impatiently.And those people who know something are all very good at martial arts, so it's not a good time for you to go. No, Erchen is not in the mood to do such meek things.Sixteenth elder brother categorically vetoed it. My son likes to fight, he likes to see blood sprayed in front of his face, and he likes to watch the enemy's intestines spill out. When he said this, the bloody color in his eyes was so thick that it was about to bleed coming.

God, you really teach people how to rub fire!Kangxi slapped his forehead suddenly, his face full of frustration.Why are you just like Chang Ning and always like to play against me?But at least Chang Ning's temperament is cheerful and gentle, not as eccentric and bloodthirsty as you, aren't you afraid that I will be annoyed and demote you to a commoner? In an instant, Elder Sixteen returned indifferently.It doesn't matter, because the son has nothing to do. Kangxi couldn't help being silent for a moment. Perhaps this is the reason why Chang Ning chose you?Forget it, anyway, you will not kill people for no reason.he murmured.All right!Then I promise you that I will no longer force you to marry the little princess of Horqin Darhan Batulu in Mongolia. I will let my twenty-year-old brother marry him. He must be twenty years old, right?snort!I don't believe him

fifteen. Well? Twenty brother is only fifteen years old. Huh?Is he only fifteen years old?Kangxi frowned, er, but it's almost fifteen years old, and they all arranged two or three concubines when they were fifteen or six years old.In short, I don't believe that elder brother twenty would dare to disobey my will, so I paused.This is the head office, right? Elder Sixteen frowned.Why did you have to choose Erchen? Kangxi's eyes under the two gray eyebrows suddenly showed a touch of humor, so do you still have to ask?Even the voice has a strong sense of ridicule. Brother Sixteen's indifferent face was immediately smeared with disgust.Just for this?

That's right, that's what happened, Kangxi seemed to be unable to hold back his laughter.You are not only the number one master in the university, but also have special conditions that others do not have, so this candidate must be you. Brother Sixteen gritted his teeth bitterly. Then I ask Huang Ama to make an order that no one in the royal family will be allowed to arrange marriages for the son-in-law again. Not allowed?Are you Amma, or am I Amma?Kangxi sighed.Seriously, you have learned all of Chang Ning's martial arts, and even his skills!Okay, okay, marry whoever you like, even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, I'm up to you, and I'll make a decree for you, it's all over, right?Really, I'm almost in my thirties, and I don't even have a woman. I don't even think about it because I care about you!

This son is only twenty-six this year, and there is a sarcasm in his eyes, and he doesn't want to be Huang Ama's pawn.Elder Sixteen sneered. Kangxi choked, then waved his hand again.Come on, let's go!Show off all your abilities, and wipe out all those who know it! After entering Tanning Residence, Elder Sixteen finally gave Kangxi some face. The son obeyed the order. In June of the fifty-ninth year of Kangxi, the bullring beside the lake and sea pond in the suburbs of Jinhua, Zhejiang Province once again flooded with bustling crowds. Amidst the din of gongs and drums, dozens of bullfighting bulls dressed in red silk, phoenix crowns on their heads, and carrying flags on their backs, Like a military general on the stage, he is majestic and majestic, with his head swaggering and the whip being held by the leader, and he appears on the stage with a shout and a hug. After a while, after accepting the cheers of the crowd bravely and mightily, the bullfighting took off its costume and started to catch the pair to compete, but seeing that each bull did its best, using various tactics such as racking, hanging, bumping, pumping, and jacking. Hit the empty ground and go up and down. When the two bullfighting parties were defeated, they waited aside, and the three big and five rough bullbreakers immediately rushed forward bravely, desperately inserted between the two bulls, and tried their best to separate the two bulls. Which ancestral halls and temples are going to be consecrated? This is a custom in Jinhua. The locals know it, but the outsiders may not know it. For example, the 15- or 6-year-old boy who was crowded in the crowd was tall like a chicken, but he had an innocent face and childish facial features. His skin was white and rosy like a pink makeup The cut little doll, the big black and white eyes under the soft eyebrows are even more round and very cute, the fan-like eyelashes are fanned like a baby, the straight and straight nose is matched with a girl's mouth Little cherry mouth, as sweet and attractive as you say it is. Tempting to pat his apple-like tender red cheeks, and give him a candied haws to lick. In addition, he was dressed in a moon-white robe with a crimson horse hanging on the outside. He was dressed luxuriously and elegantly, and there were gold, jade, and precious stones hanging all over his body. No need to guess, as soon as he saw it, he knew it must be somewhere. The elder brother of a rich and powerful family, or the young master of a rich family who was spoiled and spoiled since childhood, and doesn't know the sufferings of the world. It was the first time for Ganqing to see this kind of competition, his pupils were wide open, and there was a kind of pure excitement in his eyes, which looked so strange that he would die. It wasn't until the end of the bullfight that he licked his lips unsatisfied, turned around with a little disappointment and dispersed with the crowd, preparing to continue visiting other activities of the temple fair. At the same time, not far from the other side of the arena, no matter how shocking, tragic and heroic the bullfights in the arena, Liu Man'er, who was dressed in pink satin jacket and trousers and was slim but not thin, never even glanced over. Because she was waiting for someone, a very important person, but the appointed time had passed, but that person had not yet appeared, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried. Could it be an accident? She thought to herself, an unconcealable worry floated quietly on her delicate and elegant dimple, she pulled her thick black braids with her hands, her watery red phoenix eyes searched the crowd with increasing urgency, her gaze was fixed , and then strode indignantly to grab an octopus that just fumbled a bag of silver from someone. Hey Hey hey!My son, please stop for a while!He casually grabbed the mandarin jacket of the man in front, and when the man turned around, he couldn't help being startled.It turned out to be my brother!Uh, anyway, uh, this she let go of the other side with a little embarrassment, and held up a heavy purse.Don't you want it? The reason why he was called Young Master was because his back was tall and handsome, but he didn't expect that when he saw his face, it was a boy younger than her. The young man was stunned, glanced at the money bag, and then felt for the place where he put the money bag with a low cry, it was empty! oops!How did it slip to you?Pointing to the purse, he blurted out with surprise on his face.Can you do tricks? pinch trick?Man'er sighed in confusion.Someone touched your silver, did you actually say that he did a trick for you to see? Someone stole my money?The teenager screamed belatedly, his stupid look was really ridiculous. yes!That's right?Looking at it in a blink of an eye, Man'er couldn't help being dumbfounded, and then coughed twice in embarrassment.Uh, the thief ran away. That's weird, when she keeps grabbing the guy and saying uh, wait, wait, her.Is there anyone caught?I remember that she was grabbing the pickpocket with one hand, carrying the money bag with the other, and grabbing the boy with the other.Why did she turn into three hands instead? Man'er was full of confusion and annoyance, but the young man only looked around for a while, then shrugged and took back the purse, smiling as if he didn't notice her embarrassment: It doesn't matter, as long as the money is not lost. Upon hearing this, Man'er hurriedly let out a haha ​​and patted him on the shoulder.Yes, yes, as long as the money is not lost, as long as the money is not lost!But looking him up and down a few times, she couldn't help shaking her head, pulling him away from the crowd and going into a side alley. The young man was still not vigilant at all, he looked at the crowd and muttered: There are quite a lot of people here! She raised her eyebrows, and looked at him suspiciously again.You don't come from Beijing, do you? The boy's eyes lit up.Huh!How do you know I'm from the capital?Did I write something on my face? Roll your eyes, stupid, you can tell by your accent!Man'er couldn't help but shook her head again, she had never seen such an innocent person with long eyes.I say you!Wouldn't it be a person who went out to play alone?Are your parents relieved? Ah, well, the boy haha ​​smirked.To be honest, I sneaked out from home, so Runaway kid?Why? The boy scratched his neck in embarrassment.It's my father who insisted on forcing me to marry a lady I don't like!No matter how much I protested, it was useless, so I had no choice but to let it go, haha, just before the wedding. Eh?You just dropped everything and ran away?I can't believe it, the bride is not ashamed to death. Where did I pick my pick, it was a last resort!The young man argued.After I find a wife by myself, I will take my wife back to explain to my father! That's called confession?Man'er couldn't help but rolled her eyes again, and shook her head again. Forget it, never mind, it's none of my business anyway.Anyway!If you want to hang out by yourself, please be smarter, don't be so confused, and remember the five characters of money should not be revealed, and the money should be carefully kept close to you, and don't stretch out these things to her flicked his jeweled gold chain.Wear it on your body, otherwise people will just pick you up today, maybe you will be robbed tomorrow! The boy gasped.No way? Man'er shrugged.Then you give it a try and see if it works! The young man couldn't help swallowing, then I should stop here when I said that, because Man'er's attention was no longer on him, and he had already moved to the entrance of the alley, there was someone more there at some point, and Man'er just stared at that person . With just one glance, Man'er did not hesitate to do the same as the other party, stretching out three fingers as a signal, the other party nodded lightly as if there was nothing, made another gesture, and then left.Seeing this, Man'er hurriedly turned around and scribbled a few words to the young man, then hurriedly followed. Anyway, just be careful yourself, I left beforehand. Seeing that Man'er disappeared in the blink of an eye, the young man stood in a daze for a moment, then looked down at himself, and then moved his gaze to the ground, where there was a small embroidered purse with clearly embroidered with Man'er's skirt. On the same pattern, there are three small seal characters Liu Man'er. With a blink of his eyes, the young man slowly picked up the purse, looked at his own purse again, shrugged his shoulders, put the purse in his arms, and hung his purse casually on his waist, as if nothing had happened out of the alley. Who is confused? dead child! Man'er bit her lower lip tightly, almost bleeding from the bite, so she couldn't hold back her burst of laughter. That brat actually followed him to the restaurant, and sat at the next table on purpose, trying to get her to glance at him from the corner of her eye, so he would make faces at her with winks, and then desperately made some gestures that only he could understand, Seeing that she still couldn't understand, her face collapsed in despair, as if tears would burst out at any moment. Hello!Are you listening to me at all? Ah?Yes, yes, yes, I am listening!Man'er quickly drew her attention back to the person beside her, Ye Danfeng who led her into the Double Swords Hall. However, she still cannot be regarded as an official member of the Double Swords Hall, but is something to be seen, because she did not protect her. people. Although she is innocent, her identity is not very innocent, so no one dares to protect her, not even her own relatives, so she can use facts to guarantee her loyalty. In short, the hall master said that he needed a large amount of silver to buy firearms from the foreign devils, but now there is a way, but there is no silver.I searched almost all the people on the list given to me by the hall master, but they said that it was a trivial matter to take out the silver taels, and I was afraid that the manchu hawks would find out that things were not good; People say that life is good now, why should he get into trouble? Naturally, their dialogue is not so plain, but a cryptic language that only they themselves can understand. Although some people have raised a lot of silver taels, it is still far from the actual needs. So, Man'er, how long have you been a kid?Is it two years?If you want to officially become a sister of Shuangdaotang, this is your great opportunity! Sister Ye meant that Man'er said hesitantly.Want me to go home?But this is impossible!Not to mention that my family is not a wealthy family, Sister Ye should also understand my position in the family, it is a great blessing for them to raise me so big, how can they give me anything else? Although your family is not rich, you are not poor either!Moreover, they are Han Chinese after all, right?Ye Danfeng reminded her.If you are a Han Chinese, you will have the opportunity to persuade them. But Man'er, don't forget, isn't what you long for is to have your family, and even everyone who knows you recognize you as one of them?So, if you can officially become a member of the Twin Swords Hall, wouldn't your wish come true? It really touched her heart. Gritting her teeth and pondering for a moment, Man'er finally nodded.All right!I'll try it out. Very good, Ye Danfeng showed a satisfied smile.Then let's break up!You go home, I'm going to continue to look for the rest of the list and try hard. As soon as Ye Danfeng left, the impatient kid at the next table immediately moved his butt and asked unwillingly: Hello!Do you really not understand what I'm competing for? Seeing his funny and cute appearance, Man'er couldn't help laughing anymore, those watery red phoenix eyes became more beautiful and bright, and her slightly upturned lips became more playful, it was obvious that the unpleasant topic just mentioned The moment she laughed, she was thrown into obscurity. Why are you still here? Never mind why I'm still here, tell me first, do you really not understand what I'm competing for?The boy asked again without giving up. Of course I know that when I saw the boy's happy expression, Man'er immediately added the following, it's no wonder!Seeing that he really flattened his face as expected, he couldn't help but couldn't help laughing. Is it really that difficult to understand?The teenager murmured.I'm telling you my name, and I'm just asking for the girl's name! Why are you asking my name? You helped me! It's just a little help! But you helped me.The boy persisted. Man'er shrugged.Well!My name is Liu Man'er, what about you? Liu Man'er?The boy chewed it in his mouth.What a great name!Uh, my name is Jin Lu. Jinlu?Wow, so vulgar!However, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth again, and Man'er opened her eyes wide to look up and down at the jewels all over her body.Tsk tsk, it really lives up to its name!Your name is all written on you! Huh?Jin Lu was taken aback in surprise, is there anything?Busy also looked down at himself.Where is it written?Where is it written? Don't look, you can't see it yourself!Man'er wanted to laugh again.How old are you? Jin Lu tilted his head and slapped his eyelashes.How old do you think I am? Without hesitation, Man'er blurted out: Fourteen, five. Seeing that he was crying again, he couldn't help changing his words: Uh, sixteen! In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that!Although his stature is already an adult level, he is overnourished!But his intelligence is at most sixteen, and his appearance is only about fifteen years old. If he is naive, he is already very respectable at the age of fourteen. Fourteen, five, six?Jin Lu muttered with a frustrated face.Why not seventeen, eight, nine?I thought I had matured a lot!After speaking, he pursed his lips unwillingly.how about you?How old are you again? Then there is no need to ask, it must be older than you!Man'er immediately put up a proud face.Girl, I'm seventeen years old! Hearing this, Jin Lu muttered something sullenly for no idea, and then asked listlessly: Then why are you outside by yourself?Did you sneak out like me? Man'er snorted, do you think everyone is as bored as you?Girl, I have serious business to do. In fact, I'm going home now. Where is your home? Fuyang County. Fuyang?Huh?His eyes lit up, and the listlessness of just now disappeared in an instant, and Jin Lu became excited again.Isn't that Hangzhou Mansion?I'm going with you! Why?Man'er asked suspiciously. Suzhou and Hangzhou are so beautiful!Jin Lu said with a smile.I'm going there to find a wife and bring it back to my father! Man'er rolled her eyes.呿!Is it because the daughter-in-law your father found for you is not beautiful enough? where is it!Jin Lu denied.That lady is too aggressive and aggressive! That's it!It's not your fault.Man'er pondered for a moment.All right!Anyway, it's not far away, so I can take you there along the way, but let me tell you first, you have to listen to me along the way, and don't play any young master's temper on me! No problem, no problem!Jin Lu nodded desperately. OK, then hurry up and eat!Let's go on the road when we are full.Seeing that the other party is younger than him, and so naive and naive, if he doesn't take the opportunity to show off his wise and mighty big sister, isn't he too wronged?Eat more, don't call me hungry on the way! She grew up looking at other people's faces, and now it's finally her turn to show her face to others, it's so refreshing! It was Jin Lu who immediately obeyed and moved all the dishes and bowls and chopsticks from the neighboring table to this table, and obediently ate them.I'll rub a little more, and when we're done rubbing, we can go crazy! twist? Is the Lantern Festival making dumplings now?Man'er thought to herself with neither laughter nor laughter.Can't stand it, he really doesn't want to drive her all the way to Hangzhou! When you're full, let's go! Wait for Xiaoer, settle the score! I will pay! How can that be done!I'm the eldest sister, so I have to take care of you as a matter of course, how can I let it go, uh, you should pay for it!
