The swansong of the swansong

Chapter 41 Trouble is coming

Chapter 41 Trouble is coming
In the inner city under curfew, even for the powerful officials, entertainment options are extremely scarce.

There is no other way. People are not allowed to go out to the streets to seek entertainment. Apart from staying at home to watch plays and listen to music, they can only turn off the lights and make babies.

"Master, you're back?" Chun Ji squatted down and saluted with a smile. Her slender and graceful figure drew a breathtaking perfect curve under the dim light of the lantern.

Yinyu walked up to Chunji, helped her up, held her hand, and said gently: "It's inconvenient for you to walk, so you can just meet me in front of the house from now on."

Chun Ji was very pretty, with a perfect figure of the golden ratio, and she was not short. But the only flaw was that she had bound feet since she was a child, which made it very inconvenient for her to walk.

In the dim candlelight, the three-inch golden lotus feet, wearing red embroidered shoes and resting on the shoulders, were indeed swaying gracefully and beautifully beautiful.

In fact, Haruhime's big toes and second toes were already fractured and disabled.

"Master, I still want to welcome you back to the gate of the courtyard." Chun Ji's tone was soft, but her meaning was firm.

Yinyu thought about it for a moment and decided that since she was free anyway, she might as well find something to do.

"It's up to you." Yinyu put one hand on Chunji's waist to relieve her discomfort when walking.

Chun Ji smiled sweetly and said in a sweet voice: "Master, you treat me so well."

Yinyu smiled slightly and said, "You are my first proper woman. In the future, I will definitely give you a proper status."

As a skinny girl from Yangzhou, Chun Ji was most worried about her status.

If she had no status, it would be terrible if Yinyu got tired of her and gave her to another man.

Generally speaking, the most promising way out for a skinny horse in Yangzhou is to become a concubine of a lowly merchant.

Usually, when the powerful and wealthy get tired of playing with Yangzhou skinny horses, they either give them away as gifts or sell them to dirty places.

It was the early Qing Dynasty, not the late Qing Dynasty. If officials of the Kangxi Dynasty dared to take a skinny horse from Yangzhou as a concubine, they would be disgraced if the news got out.

As the Yangzhou skinny horse that the fourth brother took a fancy to, Chunji is not illiterate, but has a high cultural literacy.

She keenly realized that the promise Yinyou made was not just about being a concubine.

"Master..." Chun Ji said in a delicate voice, and took the initiative to snuggle into Yin Yu's arms, hugging his strong waist tightly with both hands.

While enjoying the woman's tenderness, Yinyou thought to himself, even if she was the Fourth Prince's spy, as long as he put in enough effort, she could be used by him.
"Sir, the water is ready." Wu Lin was a smart guy with a keen eye. He did not dare to go into the house and just waited outside the door.

Playing in the water neck to neck in a huge bathtub is a regular activity, and the beauty of it is self-evident.

After all, Chun Ji was a well-trained professional woman, and her skills in serving men were exceptional, which made Yinyou very satisfied.

However, in his excitement, Yinyou suddenly discovered that even after Chun Ji had soaked in the water, she was still wearing brand new red embroidered shoes on her feet.

Well, if I take off my shoes, my disabled feet won’t be covered, which would be like exposing my shortcomings.

"When did you change your shoes?" Yinyu hugged Chunji's waist and asked her with a smile. Chunji pursed her lips and smiled, and whispered: "When the master forced me into the water."

Yinyou was a little confused, so he picked up one of Chunji's three-inch golden lotus feet and took a closer look. He found that the red embroidered shoes were as thin as ballet shoes and had no soles.

Obviously, Chun Ji had anticipated that there would be a performance of mandarin ducks playing in the water, and she had hidden a spare pair of red embroidered shoes on her body in advance.

"Hehe, you clever little girl." Yinyu pinched Chunji's nose and kissed her lips heavily.

Tired of waiting, Chun Ji explained in a low voice: "Master, I am afraid that I will spoil your mood, so I will not only wash it five times a day, but also use incense for a quarter of an hour."

After hearing this, Yinyou was even more satisfied. The enchanting lady in his arms was indeed a professional woman serving men, and her professional level was simply top-notch.

When Yinyou carried Chunji out of the bathtub, he indeed found two red embroidered shoes left beside the tub.

In the morning, the fourth son returned to the Ministry of Revenue after attending the imperial court hearing. He went to find Yinyu and told him, "The Duke of Fuguo, Jin Min, was fighting for land with the Han people at Lugou Bridge, and it almost caused a murder. Khan Ama not only handed it over to the Eight Banners Division for trial, but also ordered me to keep a close eye on it. But, how can I have the time to take care of such a trivial matter? Good brother, you can supervise the people of the Eight Banners Division for me to see if they are impartial in the trial, how about it?"

Well, the top leader has arranged the work tasks, what can Yinyou say? He can only obey!

"Brother, I will follow your instructions. However, this is a serious matter. Do you have any established rules?"

Yinyou had worked as a vice president at the department level for eight years and was well aware of the tricks of being a deputy.

If a deputy wants to do his job without mistakes, he must first find out the true intentions of the top leader.

"Khan Ama means that the capital is the best place, and we must not let anything happen because of land disputes." Yinyu is one of us, so the fourth brother did not hide anything and said directly, "The bannermen are the foundation of our Qing Dynasty's rule over the Central Plains. We can't let our own people suffer too much, right?"

Yinyou understood it immediately. He knew that he couldn't let the bannermen suffer a big loss, which meant that he could let them suffer a small loss and make appropriate concessions.

The fourth brother, who is well versed in government affairs, is a wise man. He knows better than anyone that if a Han Chinese had not been severely bullied, which Han Chinese would dare to provoke the Bannermen?
Having said that, how can one completely turn his elbow outward in this world?
"Fourth brother, to be honest with you, I don't have the slightest affection for these playboys under my command who only know how to carry bird cages, fly hawks and run dogs, and often stir up trouble." The time had come to test Yinyu's wisdom. He used his deputy's ultimate skill to deal with the top leader and exerted his influence without making a sound.

If a deputy leader wants to get by without doing anything, he can just come late and leave early and not do anything.

However, if the deputy wants to achieve a goal, he can only convince the boss by presenting facts, reasoning, and stating the interests involved.

"Alas, having said that, it's a pity that there are too many Han people in the world!" The fourth brother couldn't be unaware of the overall corruption and depravity of the Eight Banners descendants. However, he was afraid to act rashly because the smooth rule of the Qing Dynasty could only rely on the bravery of the Eight Banners descendants.

"Fourth brother, since Khan Ama has spoken, this matter cannot be made a big deal. Why not let me step forward and scare the ignorant bosses under my command to show the benevolent will of the Khan Ama to unite the Manchus and the Han people?"

Yinyu really put himself in the shoes of the fourth son. His meaning was very clear, he would be the villain, leaving the fourth son with enough room to maneuver.

No matter which era the leader is in, who doesn’t like to have trusted subordinates who are willing to work hard and are not afraid of taking the blame?
The fourth brother couldn't help laughing and said, "Just go for it. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

If the eldest brother said such words, if Yinyou believed even half a word of it, he would be Dachun.

However, Lao Si is different, he is a responsible character. Once he expresses his position, he will try his best to take responsibility to the end.
