Neighbors with powerful ministers

In this way, Xie Jie lived a life of discussing with Qian Jia how powerful the legendary Fang Chaoci was every day, and cared about the preparation process for the Ghost Festival by the way.

"The fourth son is already waiting outside the door. Shall I let them in?" The house elder stood in front of the ink landscape screen and bowed to ask for instructions. This is the only way to restore Xie Jie's spirit as soon as possible.

"Come in." Sure enough, when it came to eating, drinking and having fun, Xie Jie got excited.As if it wasn't him who just vomited that there was nothing to love about.

There are four brothers in the Xie Mansion who are in charge of planning festival activities and communicating with the Fourth Division and the Sixth Bureau. They are also Xie Jie's playmates, responsible for satisfying all the whims of his son. A disaster preventer in case of various injuries, commonly known as a guard.At the critical moment, the hundreds of personal guards left by the Eldest Princess to Xie Jie can be mobilized to ensure safety.

These four brothers are rare twins. They are exactly the same tall and big, with the same thick back and waist, and the same high nose and deep eyes, full of exotic characteristics.

It is said that they were born in the two territories jointly managed by Daqi and the barbarians, and they are of mixed race.

The two territories are a relatively exclusive term, and many people in Daqi don't even know it, but it does exist. It is located in the northwest border where Daqi and the barbarians intersect, which is somewhat similar to the meaning of "joint management of the two countries".Both Daqi and the barbarians felt that they had sovereignty over this territory. This was a problem left over from the history of the barbarians and the previous dynasty. However, when Daqi replaced the previous dynasty, the problem was still not well resolved.The two sides have been arguing for many years, and they still can't make it clear, so they can only stay in a stalemate like this.

The residents of the two territories are called the two subjects, an alternative dual nationality, they have to pay double taxes and serve double duties, and they are also nicknamed "two losers".

The special political environment has raised special people, and the mixed blood of Daqi and barbarians is basically born here.

There is nothing wrong with mixed blood, but the bad luck for the quadruplets is that the barbarians taboo the twins, thinking that it is an ominous omen, and the quadruplets are even more unforgivable.

Da Qi didn't pay much attention to this, but felt that one child with four sons was simply a symbol of many children and many blessings.

The father of the fourth son is a Qiren, and the mother is a barbarian.Their life was better when their father was alive. Since their father was called to serve in the army and never came back, their mother abandoned them without hesitation, making them suffer all kinds of hardships at a young age.In order to survive, the four of them gave up their hearts and took advantage of the chaos to flee overnight to Daqi, who didn't discriminate against them very much.

Before they were captured, they were fortunate enough to be appreciated by the Eldest Princess Wen Tian. After training, they were packed and sent to Xie Jie.

Barbarians have names, but no surnames.Xie Jie gave his surname to his four little friends, but the characteristic long names of ethnic minorities have not been changed, but it is a bit convoluted to pronounce them. People in the house are more used to calling them Xie Dalang, Xie Erlang, Xie Saner and Xie Saner. Xie Xiaosi.They themselves are more used to being called that, which makes them feel more at home.

The fourth sons entered the door together, wearing uniform servant shirts, and changed into blue autumn clothes early on, only using different patterns on the neckline and cuffs to distinguish each other.

The servants of Xie Jie’s family will get new clothes of different colors every season, because Xie Jie likes everyone’s clean and bright appearance, and occasionally he will narrow down the color, but it is definitely dumbfounding but not too much The degree of anger and anger.The servants who knew this felt that Xie Shizi was a bit unfathomable, he looked unreliable, but in fact he could always control it to a certain degree, he was really heartless, it was impossible to be so right.

"San'er, do you think we should be the top sheep this year?" Xie Jie discussed with Xie San'er enthusiastically.

There are many customs of the Ghost Festival, and there are still differences between the north and the south, and the customs of different places are also slightly different. Even if they are in the same city, different families will have their own traditions to some extent.Xie Jie also has his own way, and it has already become a rule. As long as Xie Jie doesn't get too hot-headed this year and finds another way, then there will be no big trouble.

Sending sheep is the tradition of the Hungry Ghost Festival in Zhending Prefecture.Worship ancestors with seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, and prepare steamed sheep for grandchildren, and sometimes for daughters.

When Xie Jie was young, his grandfather Taizong would give him a sheep every festival, hoping that it would be a good omen for him who lost his father early. He also wanted to show it to outsiders. Although his grandson lost his father, he was even more powerful. Her mother clan is protecting her, and no one is allowed to bully her.It's a pity that the grandfather only gave the sheep twice before he passed away.After the eldest uncle succeeded to the throne, he inherited the throne together with the tradition of giving sheep, and then his cousin gave it to him, as if he wanted his children and grandchildren to be infinitely scarce.

Unfortunately, now Xie Jie doesn't even have a cousin.My uncle is nice, but he is too careless, Xie Jie never expected him to remember this tradition.

"If no one gives it to you, then I will give it to myself on behalf of my grandfather." Xie Jie thought about it very quickly, and the rare sadness would always evaporate like water drops on a lotus leaf in midsummer.

"Are sheep very expensive?" Xie Erlang, who is not good at mathematics, said stupidly, "When we were young, we used to herd sheep for people. There are so many of them in the mountains and plains that we can't count them."

Counting sheep is indeed a technical job. After all, sheep are mobile. Xie Jie can still think of Xie Erlang's scratching his head.

"Mutton is of course expensive." Xie Jie knocked on Xie Erlang's head, "Have you never heard the saying that mutton is good meat, top grade, and only noble people can eat it?"

Daqi's imperial chef only cooks with mutton, which is an express rule in the palace.Frying, frying, stewing and stewing, making mutton in different ways, but no matter how good the craftsmanship is and how delicious it is, eating it like this will definitely hurt people. Xie Jie is the biggest under this rule. victim.But no problem, mutton is the obsession of Xie Jie’s great-grandfather Qi Taizu all his life. As a native southerner, he just likes this one. After finally becoming the emperor, he naturally wants to eat it with his stomach free. .

Later, for some reason, mutton became the rule of the royal chef, especially the one from Fengyi County, Shaanxi Road. He ate it every day and ate it every day. Xie Jie began to question his life and felt that he was about to become a sheep. .

Of course, the saying that mutton will become good meat is also related to the fact that the barbarians control the entire north suitable for grazing, and Daqi really has no channels to import it.Rare things are more expensive.

"I know, I know." Qian Jia has probably acquiesced to his new identity as Bao inquiring, and actively participated in the discussion, "It is said that a lazy guy has calculated that the palace eats at least 43 mutton every year. Three catties and four taels*."

Following the broadcast of such a statistic, there was a moment of stagnation in the incense-lit room.

"En?" Qian Jia was puzzled.

The kindest second child of the fourth child wanted to save the situation, but was punctured by Xie Jie himself. He was only wearing a plain sweater with open chest and shoulders. He pointed at himself without any embarrassment: "I am probably you." The idle person in the mouth hurts."

Most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

Qian Jia felt that he might not survive tomorrow.

……

At the same time, the Eldest Princess who lives in Yingtian Mansion is repeatedly looking at the letter written to her by Shenzong and Mr. Xie Zhai. In it, Xie Jie's words and deeds after waking up are parroted. She can memorize the simple content. But still reluctant to move away from the eyes.Tu'er's hands can move, and Tu'er can eat by herself. Finally, Tu'er's diet has been changed from liquid food to minced meat. Even a small improvement can move her.

Suddenly someone came to report that Mr. Fang had already left for Jiangzuo as promised.

Even so, Wen Tian didn't let go of the letter, but just nodded to show that he understood.It suddenly occurred to her that she should have seen a thing or two about Fang Chaoci for the first time.

She remembered very clearly that it was spring, Shengjia traveled all the way from Jiangzuo to Yuezhou, Mingzhou, Dinghai, and ran to Wenzhou. After more than two years of tossing and turning, he finally turned back to Jiangzuo.Her silly son, who was still ill, was also taken away and brought back by the uneasy Shenzong. It is said that he had a very hard life, and he almost vomited all the way, and his head still didn't get better.When I returned to Jiangzuo, it was the beginning of another year, and everything was recovering.

Fang Chaoci came here with a team of horses. The spring was cold, he was dressed in a crane cloak, his head was full of apricot blossoms, and he was young and romantic.

There was no one present who was not crazy about it, only his stupid son still had the strength to pick and choose even if he vomited all kinds of meat and vegetables.Xie Jie has always felt good about himself, and he feels even better about his father who has no destiny, so he is very resistant to Fang Chaoci, who claims to be both talented and beautiful. He hates anyone who can surpass his father. a child.

The two of them, a young man in Wuling, and a gentleman in white clothes, were supposed to be cold and handsome, each with its own characteristics, but because of Xie Jie's unilateral hostility, they missed many years.

This time, it's time to change the way of life.

"Send someone to chase him up and ask if he has a place to stay temporarily. If not, I have a good place here." Wen Tian instructed his servants like this, "By the way, write a letter to Mr. Zhai, if the house is vacant Yes, don’t worry about renting it out for now.”

The most powerful female envoy beside the eldest princess was at a loss, but she still followed her advice. After being seduced by her own emperor, she changed.
