"Birthday... what birthday is it? I never remember it. It's the time of great cold, wax trees and silver mountains, and the wind howling alone. It's really... the cold is killing people." The fourth prince said sadly.The fourth day of the twelfth lunar month is the great cold, the last solar term in the whole year, and it is also the day when he and his fifth brother were born and cried 17 years ago.

Liao Yiyi picked up a bed broom, and skillfully and swiftly swept the dust and gravel off the mattress, not paying attention to the stagnation of the people around her, and said, "Don't even think about it. The great cold must be extremely cold, the world will freeze Got it. There will be a severe cold and snowstorm, not to mention the crops and seedlings in the field, even the people will be cold to death. At that time, Yiyi was still young, but the eldest brother and the second brother were very clear about the difference between men and women, and they also slept in separate rooms early Yes. The older brothers were worried that I would get cold, so they used the thick mattress tightly against me, but they still gave me frostbite. The eldest brother went up the mountain to collect medicine, and the second brother was weak and unable to get rid of it, so he burned for a while. The box, baby, and book paper are for me to bake my hands. When Yiyi has spare money, I can buy new clothes for my brothers! Well, this house is mine, and Brother Qi can make do with it. This is the warmest place in the yard One room."

Qi Rong had a look of envy on his face, looking around, he couldn't think of what happened in this small room with rough tiles and broken tiles.Is it true that a girl who didn't know the rules since she was a child almost froze to death in it, wrapped in a quilt that was not solid with cotton wool, and the charcoal basin was empty, and the fire was actually ignited by burning her brother's collection of poetry.

"Your brother really loves you." Qi Rong was quiet for a while, forced a smile, and said coldly: "The family is sitting on the wall with books... Why doesn't this king have such a brother. Where is your brother now?"

"I followed my master in Yincheng!" Mentioning his elder brother, Liao Yiyi was overjoyed, and couldn't help saying, "The three elder brothers are all good! The elder brother worked the hardest. It's hard, I let it go when I gave birth to a child... The second brother was born as a scholar long ago, but the Liao family was too poor to open the pot, and had no money to support the second brother Qiu Wei. Now it's all right, when the second brother can really enter the exam, he will definitely be the number one in the exam When I came back, I also said that I would give Yiyi a full silver ingot!"

Qi Rong snorted coldly, the peasant woman in the mountain is the peasant woman in the mountain, with short-sightedness, she opened her mouth and closed her mouth to give birth to the first prize, and restrained herself, she said: "Then what about your third brother?"

Thinking of the third brother Liao Yiyi's heart aches sorely.The paper pasting the window was not thick, and a few gusts of cold wind came in, piercing into the eye sockets like ice blades, almost making Liao Yiyi's eye sockets hot, and for a moment she forced her face up and said: "Of course the third brother is also good! But I Stop talking."

"You!" Qi Rong clasped his fingers tightly, causing pain in his palms.Finally got some thoughts to chat with her, but was blocked by this damn girl with the door.Who cares whether her third elder brother lives or dies, the fourth prince was so angry that he couldn't describe it, and he said, "I don't care about it, I still don't take your bowl down!"

It's not because Liao Yiyi doesn't speak, and it's not because she dislikes third brother as a father-in-law.But Master Zhang, the guard, beat her before sending her into the Grand Master's Mansion. The third elder brother in the family must not tell outsiders about his job in the palace.But this bowl of noodles was really made by himself, so he firmly grasped the bowl and said, "Hey! No, no! You let go! You can't take it down! The old man in the family said that you are the birthday of the four major colds in the twelfth lunar month, so I told you I’ll cook Laba porridge for you! It’s just that I can’t make it out… Brother Qi, don’t be angry, you see, the meaning of this severe cold is also very good. The old people in Zhuangzi say that the severe cold is divided into three periods, the first period is chicken milk, and the second period Zhengniao is severely ill, and Sanhou Mizusawa has a firm belly. It can be seen that although people are going to freeze to death these days, there is vitality hidden in it everywhere. This is like longevity noodles, eat one to the end, and live a long life!"

Hey, I haven't read any books, but I'm articulate.Seeing the miserable appearance she put on, Qi Rong felt a little relieved.He suffered a lot during his birthday, so the steward never dared to mention this matter with His Highness the Fourth Highness.Every year, the most joyful and festive year for the people of Yincheng happens to be the day when the Fourth Highness is abandoned to Yaochi.The housekeeper is afraid of making him sad, so every year in the cold, he must cook a bowl of Laba porridge full of fragrance, red dates, longan, wolfberry, peanuts... all picked and washed by himself, so thick that a jade spoon can't stir it.This year, Qi Rong treated him as the housekeeper and forgot about him, but this lazy girl didn't know how to skip such a big day!

And eating longevity noodles on this birthday must be a folk custom, and it is a bit novel to the fourth prince who has never heard of it in the deep-raised mansion.Qi Rong reluctantly sat down, rubbed the wooden chopsticks with his wide sleeves in disgust, and picked up a noodle made from coarse grains.The hand-rolled noodles are not as delicate and delicate as the dragon beard noodles, but they are also unique. Qi Rong smelled the smell, opened his mouth with his chopsticks, and was about to put the noodles into his mouth when the noodles snapped.

"..." The fourth prince turned his head and questioned Liao Yiyi silently.

"It's... it's a good fortune that this longevity noodle is cut off. Brother Qi, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Liao Yiyi met for the first time, and was still not sure about the heat, so she tried to persuade with a smile: "It's good to be cut off, it's good to be cut off." Alright! After eating this noodles, what was bad in the past will end today, and it will be good in the future."

If the surface is broken and moldy, it must be disgusting to be placed in ordinary people's homes.But who is Qi Rong?He is the fourth prince who has offended the emperor Lao Tzu since he was born.Since he was destined to be a miserable person, why is he still afraid of these things?Therefore, he picked up the broken noodles and put them into his mouth thoughtfully.

It was the first birthday celebration, and this side seemed to have figured out the past of the fourth prince, and completely cut it off today.

Liao Yiyi approached carefully with her mouth pursed, and asked, "Brother Qi, don't be surprised, is this noodle delicious? If it tastes good, eat more. There is still some in the pot, and Yiyi will bring it to the guards too."

"Forget it." Qi Rong said back to his senses, staring at Liao Yiyi motionlessly, his heart was frozen by the warmth of the noodle soup just now, and said: "How much salt did you put? I'm afraid it will kill all the men in the yard." Are you willing to die?"

It was not the first time for Liao Xiaofu to celebrate the New Year in the palace, but it was the first time to spend it in the Prince's Palace.The palace is very particular, and has not been idle since La Ersan, except for buying gifts for the Prince's Palace, Xiao Fuzi naturally followed Chen Baishuang to walk through the palaces and halls one by one, and sent out many gift cards, all of which were the same. I feel distressed while singing the list, it's all the crown prince's money!It's all silver!He was busy working until the fourth day of the first lunar month before he came back to his senses, and before he knew it, he had already celebrated the New Year with the prince.

On New Year's Eve, the crown prince had dinner in the empress's palace, and the master waited on him. Liao Xiaofu waited patiently for His highness to come back to watch the new year. Who would have thought that he would sit on the footrest in front of the crown prince's bed and doze off.Fifteen years old is the time to grow your body. Not only is your stomach empty sometimes, Liao Xiaofu also feels thirsty recently, as if your bones are really cramped. When you fall asleep, your knees hurt, and your calves often kick. just woke up.

When the prince hurried back to the bedroom, he saw Xiao Fuzi sitting on the floor with his knees hugged, snoring and sleeping in a ball, without even taking off his hat and jade crown. I'm afraid he still wanted to wait for the prince to come back to watch the new year.Naturally, Chen Baishuang's face darkened, and he quickly called someone to come forward and ordered that Eunuch Liao be carried to his room to rest.Naturally, Qi Mo was reluctant, and rewarded Grand Duke Chen with a golden bun with a smile on his face.Gold nude seeds are not compared to golden melon seeds and small gold bars, they are full of small gold ingots, with a half-moon curved and concave in the center, and each one is engraved with auspicious words of auspiciousness and happiness.

Chen Baishuang's heart and eyes are as many as the stars in the sky, so he naturally understands that this is not a reward for him, but sent him down to reward others.Running back and forth to Fengluan Palace, followed by more than half a hundred court ladies, eunuchs and guards, all waiting for the Grand Duke in charge to tremble for the last time this year.At this time, the rewards are indispensable, Fu Gen'er can spend the rewards, everyone is kind, which means that there will be a harvest at the end of the year.

Grand Duke Chen looked at the anxious servants behind him, gritted his teeth helplessly, bowed to receive the Prince's grace, took the roster and went to the main hall to roll his name and give a reward.

As for his precious apprentice, he naturally asked Qi Mo to hug the imperial concubine's couch, took off his official uniform and let his hair loose.Although Xiao Fuzi was already married outside the palace at this age, Qi Mo just hugged him in his arms to protect him, feeling sorry for his lower body pain, always felt that the child was still young, so it was natural to wait, and at the same time worried If I really get into a violent wave, I don't know if such a small body can stand the favor.

Liao Xiaofu naturally didn't know, and buried the tip of his nose in the prince's chest and fell asleep.When he woke up the next day, he hurriedly ran to the prince's bedside to kowtow to pay his respects, wishing his highness good luck and prosperity this year, and he thought he was the first one to greet the prince, so he raised his face and gave Qi Mo a little golden tortoise.

Seeing that the fourth day of the Lunar New Year was over, Liao Xiaofu realized that he had made a big mistake and missed His Highness's birthday.But thinking about it, I still have doubts, the crown prince's birthday, what a big deal that should be.Except for the emperor, queen mother and empress in the palace, which one can be bigger than the prince?But on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, no one mentioned it, so... the prince's birthday should have passed without mentioning it?

Liao Xiaofu didn't know what happened to the crown prince and the Fourth Highness during the full moon, so he couldn't figure it out.Once the great cold passed, everything seemed to wither, but it was full of vitality. Holding a lantern and walking along the wall, Xiao Fuzi could imagine how many green grass seedlings would emerge from this corner after three months.

"Who!" Just as the night fell, palace crows passed by the eaves, and the palace wall in front turned around, and the two figures who were sticking together quickly separated. Go up with a lantern to chase.The following guards saw that something was wrong, so they couldn't stop Eunuch Liao and had to follow to have a look.The prince ordered that if Eunuch Liao hurt a finger, those who followed him would cut off their own arm.If Eunuch Liao is in serious trouble, the people following him don't have to come back and ask for orders.The most important thing is to walk around the prince, no matter how many princes he wants to invite Eunuch Liao over, there is no need to respond to the prince's orders, just bring Eunuch Liao back to the Prince's Palace.These guards are all newly promoted relatives, and they always remember that they are serving the prince, so they must be on top of the prince.

A maid dressed in gouache, gardenia, and silver patterns came out from the shadow to give a blessing ceremony, her shoulders were raised cautiously, as if walking on thin ice, and she said in a low voice: "My servant Mi'er pays respects to Eunuch Liao, I have seen Eunuch Liao."

"Mi'er?" When the servant girl's face emerged from the shadows, the round oval face made Liao Xiaofu somewhat familiar, and he remembered this person suddenly in his heart, and replied: "It was Miss Mi'er, I didn't scare you just now. Let’s go? When our family goes out to do business for the prince, there are always guards by our side, so if you are reckless, you can’t blame Miss Mi’er.”

Mi'er seemed to be older than him, but Liao Xiaofu became more and more aware of things after the years, and he was no longer the clear-cut person he used to be. People around the prince.Although the rank is only raised to the first level of the eighth-rank envoy, but if it is lowered three or four times, it will embarrass His Highness, and the master will beat him out from time to time to avoid pettiness.Therefore, calling her Miss Mi'er, Liao Xiaofu can no longer call her maid a sister.

"No, I didn't scare you, it's because I'm not good at myself, but...it alarmed Eunuch Liao, it's my servant who should make amends." Mi'er hurriedly blessed, and only got up when Liao Xiaofu came to save her.

"Miss Mi'er, don't be afraid, the guards are lenient, so naturally they don't care about it. Please, Miss Mi'er, go back and say hello to your little master. There are too many trivial things on our family, and we haven't come out yet. Congratulations to the nobleman." Liao Xiaofu said this coldly, there was silence under the palace wall, only a few people gasped.

After hearing this, Mi'er's body seemed to be hit by the cold wind from late, she trembled softly, and said with a smile: "Yes, the young master is also thinking about the well-being of Eunuch Liao that day. It's just that Eunuch Liao is in the Prince's Palace , I don’t come out and walk around often, the young master has just raised his position and dare not go to bother him, because he is afraid that he will avoid people’s eyes and ears, so as not to invite trouble for himself.”

Don't invite disaster for yourself?Liao Xiaofu felt that Mr. An's misfortune was extraordinary, and he was afraid that it was a serious crime to destroy the Nine Clans.He was thinking about the lantern in his hand, his small body remained motionless, he glanced at Mi'er, and asked in a drawn-out tone: "It's the same with our family. Mrs. An rewarded you with money that day, and Xiao Fuzi should have gone there in person, no more." The rules make it difficult for your young master. The person who was with Miss Mi'er just now was your young master? If you don't mind, please come out, and Xiao Fuzi also congratulates you."

The author has something to say:

Little Fuzi successfully leveled up!The little girl can call herself our family in front of her~

Popular science time: the origin of "our family"?

Answer: The ancient eunuchs were taboo to talk about their own gender, and usually had multiple self-proclaimed names, most of which were masculine. "Zan" is a military term from Shanxi. It is used to refer to our army and horses. It means "I", "We", "You and I", etc. It has obvious military characteristics in the Ming Dynasty and represents the masculinity of a man.

In addition to "our family", there are several other types, such as "men" and "ye" originally referred to men, but in the Ming Dynasty eunuchs used it as a self-proclaimed, when they said "we", it was used for people with different generations to call each other .The second one that tends to be colloquial is "Sajia", which is what a few eunuchs and warriors call themselves.
