"Master—Master, what's the matter? But Big Brother made things difficult for Master?"

Tan Lang hurriedly supported Yin Qi, looked him up and down with concern, but didn't see anything wrong.Yinqi shook his head wanting to cry without tears, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "He used his brain—forget it, let's not talk about it, he'll get angry if he says it! Did the second brother go back to Huang Ama's place?"

"I went back, but they weren't together, they sat at separate tables."

Tanlang just accepted Yinqi's wink and escorted the prince back, and followed quietly all the way, until the prince returned to his seat before turning back, so he didn't know what happened just now: "But Mr. Suo I stayed with the prince, and when I saw him go back, I pulled him to the side to talk..."

"Suo'etu's brain is not very useful - without the pearl, the level of this Gongdou has dropped by more than one grade." Yin Qi still couldn't break free from the resentment brought by the elder brother just now , Hearing the words, he replied resentfully, and sat back at the table and continued to cook the pot: "By the way, have you found out about that matter? It's been two months, let's investigate the graves of those assassins." It's time to grow grass."

"It's probably ready. It's just that it's done too covertly, and the evidence is still a bit insufficient. It's still a while before we can ignite the fire."

Greedy Wolf responded in a low voice, and patiently put the sliced ​​meat on the plate into the pot, and quickly grabbed Yin Qi's chopsticks: "Master—this meat is not yet cooked, and you will have a stomachache if you eat it. Wait a little longer, ah."

"It's all changed..." Yinqi grumbled reluctantly, then suddenly looked seriously at the dark guard who had already turned from darkness to light, and said, "Tanlang, do you feel that you have become more and more serious recently?" Are you getting older?"

"That's also because the master is becoming less and less reassuring."

Tanlang replied calmly, seeing that the meat was cooked through, he took a bowl to pick up a few slices for him, and patiently dipped them in the sauce before putting them back.Yin Qi ate the meat to his heart's content, then pushed the pot towards him, told him to eat with him, and said confidently: "What you said is wrong--when did I make people feel at ease? So it must be your problem."

"..." Greedy Wolf has never been able to do anything about his master's self-aware hobgoblin mentality, so he just lowered his head and ate honestly.Yin Qi satisfactorily continued to eat, and was eating to his heart's content, when suddenly there was the sound of lively firecrackers in his ears, and when he looked up, his eyes were already full of colorful colors.

"New Year's Eve..."

Looking at those dazzling and colorful fireworks, Yin Qi smiled softly, stood up and took a few steps forward, walked around to the railing and looked at the jubilant crowd below: "Tanlang, look - how festive it is down there!" Ah, it's so lively, it makes people feel warm just looking at it."

"But the master just watches every time, and never goes down."

Tanlang stood by his side and responded softly.Sometimes he can't understand his little master—he is obviously not a person who doesn't like excitement, and he can easily make people around him feel happy no matter where he is, and there are people who are willing to come and talk to him wherever he goes.Just standing there makes people feel warm and secure in their hearts, and can't help but want to get close to such a person, but for a moment, it almost makes people feel that he shouldn't stay in this world. The lingering alienation and emptiness that can't be waved away.

But just that moment is enough to make people panic, and they just want to hold him firmly, and don't let him just disappear out of thin air.

"I like to watch the fun, but I don't like to join in the fun--seeing them happy, I feel comfortable in my heart, but if you want me to go up and be happy with them, I will get impatient after a while."

Yin Qi smiled, gathered the cloak on his shoulders again, turned around and walked towards the opposite stairs: "Let's go, before it's time to pay New Year's greetings to Huang Ama, let's pay respects to our ancestors first." Go early."

Thinking that the Shoukang Palace is too clean, he had invited Huang Ama a few days ago, and deliberately threw the old thirteen over to pick him up.Who would have thought that this would be a good move - there is no need to worry about being clean at all, that stinky boy would like to turn the Shoukang Palace upside down, causing him to go back and clean up the mess all day long.I don't know how the palace has been tossed after not coming out for two months.

There are many people in the palace today, and Yinqi is just recovering from the cold, so he didn't take Liuyun out, and only prepared a warm sedan chair underneath to stand by at any time.Liang Jiugong was leaning on the side of the pillar and guarding. When he saw Yinqi approaching, he hurried up to meet him: "Brother, where are you going? I will accompany you there..."

"Eunuch Liang—I really don't plan to jump into the lake, so you can relax..."

Yinqi was quite helpless by his excessive nervousness, smiled and comforted him, and then lifted the cloak on his body: "I'm dressed thickly here, and I have a greedy wolf guarding me - besides, I just want to Go to the old ancestor's place to pay New Year's greetings, and return immediately after the work is over, without any delay. You can go back and serve Huang Ama, so that Eunuch Wei won't be too busy alone..."

Liang Jiugong stared at him worriedly for a long time, finally took half a step back, nodded hesitantly and said, "Brother, please be careful, whether or not I need to go to Changchun Garden to catch rabbits is up to you..."

"..." Yin Qi almost stepped into the air, but fortunately Tan Lang held him up, and he turned around gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Don't worry, the three rabbits are kicking the ground—I'm sure you won't be able to get out of the air!"

The warm sedan chair was light and fast, and it didn't take much time to arrive at Shoukang Palace.Greedy Wolf helped Yin Qi get off the sedan chair, remembering Liang Jiugong's distraught look when he was leaving, he still couldn't help laughing lightly: "Master, if you want Eunuch Liang to catch rabbits, just say you want to eat them, but Don't make trouble with your own body..."

"I have a headache just hearing these two words now, so please don't mention it to me again." Yin Qi curled his lips, untied his cloak and handed it to him, and walked quickly towards the inside of Shoukang Palace, "Now How much is the queue, is it over a hundred?"

"Hmm..." Tanlang hesitated for a moment, glanced at his face, and decided to tell a lie to fool him before saying, "No, it's 99."

"...Anyway, I believe it." Yinqi couldn't see his intentions, rolled his eyes helplessly, and sighed resentfully, "A careless act—what did I do in the first place?" Wrong, do you have to carry two rabbits back?"

Just as he was feeling emotional, two white and furry four-legged animals suddenly popped out head-on.Now Yinqi is allergic to this thing, almost jumped up and threw two golden darts in the past, but saw a little elder brother running out like a gust of wind, "Little rabbit—ah, fifth brother!"

Reflexively picked up the little bun who hit his leg like a cannonball, Yin Qi stared at the greedy wolf beside him, endured and endured, and said in grief and indignation: "Why is there here—the rabbit is going to occupy my Qing Palace Yet?!"

"This is not the order of the previous master - that each elder brother will give two, and the ones that can't be given will be sent down from the first-rank ministers..."

Tanlang shrunk his neck subconsciously, summoned up the courage to repeat the order he had given to Yin Qi, and finally added a sentence with conscience: "Master, don't worry, the subordinates have carefully looked at the parents. It is a pair of son-in-law or a pair of son-mother, and they can't have another child..."

"Fifth brother—you don't come to play with me anymore!"

Yinqi hadn't recovered from the strong shock that he had given such an order, mechanically rubbed the thirteenth brother in his arms, tried his best to provoke a smile and said: "Isn't this here to find you—— —Where is the old man?"

"It's inside, my ancestors praised me for being strong!" Yinxiang raised his head triumphantly, and patted his chest hard as if to prove it.Yinqi smiled helplessly, tapped the younger brother's head lightly, and walked quickly inside with him in his arms: "It's good to be strong. When I am strong, I will go to the military camp and learn to lead soldiers to fight."

"I think so too—in the future, I will lead troops to kill the enemy and become a great general!"

As soon as he talked about the war, the little guy's eyes lit up immediately, and he danced and talked about his grand ambitions.Yin Qi listened to his ambition with a smile, but he was already planning in his heart whether to teach this younger brother some kung fu, and then personally bring him a year or two - I don't know if it is because of the bonus of favorability in the previous life, As soon as Da Shisan was born, he especially liked this tiger-headed younger brother, and he had the highest expectations for his future.If not, he would not have deliberately thrown this younger brother to the ancestors.

This is a practical elder brother who wants to lead troops, can lead troops, and can do things if he wants to do things. The Prince Yixian of the Yongzheng Dynasty almost took care of most of the officials, military administration, and people's livelihood in the court by himself. If there is no such a younger brother With full support, Yongzheng alone could not plug the many loopholes left by Kangxi's last years.This is the serious Qilin'er, the purest material that should be a minister, but he was born too late, and his heart was too simple in his early years-if he wants to watch and protect him in this life, he can't be called the old thirteen again. Lived as aggrieved and useless as in the previous life.No matter what the future situation is, he has already made up his mind that he must protect the safety of this younger brother for the rest of his life.

Seeing that he was about to enter the house, Yinqi also put away these thoughts that were too far away now, put down the younger brother in his arms, straightened his clothes and walked in quickly, patted his sleeves neatly, leaned over and said loudly: " Little Wu'er pays respects to the old ancestor—may the old ancestor go well and have a long life!"

Xiao Zhuang is now almost eighty years old, but his complexion is more energetic than in previous years.Seeing Yinqi coming in, he hurriedly told him not to be too polite, looked up and down carefully with a smile, put his arms in his arms and patted him lightly twice: "I've lost a lot of weight... I heard from your Huang Ama that this time I'm going to lose weight again." Two bouts of wind and cold have occurred, but everything is alright?"

"It's all over long ago—look, isn't this one that can run and jump?"

Yinqi responded with a smile, and sat on the side of the kang with his arms around Xiaozhuang affectionately: "The old ancestor still remembers to take a walk now? Always moving around is good for the body, but you can't just sit all the time. It's all going to be bad..."

"Brother, don't worry, just Xiao Shisan jumps up and down all day, and the ancestor doesn't have a moment's leisure time."

Aunt Su Mala was coming in from the outside, but she answered it in a joking manner when she heard the words, and said curiously: "The one who is with Elder Brother Thirteen outside, but the one who serves Elder Brother next to him? Eunuch, dressed like a guard..."

"It's my bodyguard, called Tanlang." Yin Qi nodded and replied with a smile.This is the first time he brought Tanlang together, and it seems that the old thirteen likes him quite a lot—his kung fu tends to be brisk and elegant, and I'm afraid it may not be suitable for that calf-like kid to practice with him. Men'er, it's not bad to let Tanlang teach Lao Shisan's kung fu...

Just thinking about it, Xiao Zhuang hugged him in his arms, greeted outside with a smile: "Since he can follow our little Wu'er closely, he must be reliable if he thinks about it. Let's call him in to say hello and give him a reward." Reward."

"Hey." Aunt Su Ma responded, and went outside to lead Tanlang and Elder Brother Thirteen together.Tanlang put the rabbit he had just caught in his arms beside Yinxiang, walked forward a few steps quickly, patted off his sleeves and leaned over, saying: "I have met the Empress Dowager, I wish the Empress Dowager good luck, Blessings are like the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan."

"Okay, get up." Xiaozhuang smiled and said warmly, his eyes fell on Tanlang's face, but he suddenly showed some surprise: "This child's face looks familiar... your family But has anyone worked as a servant in the palace?"

Greedy Wolf raised his head blankly, and looked at Yinqi subconsciously, but saw that his little master was also confused, so he had to bite the bullet and tell the truth: "Back to the Empress Dowager, I was born in a commoner family in the suburbs of Beijing. Farming and weaving is a business—I only know or have five relatives with a criminal official, and the whole family was once filled into the Xinzhe Treasury to do things, and fortunately, the master favored him, and he was able to accompany the master..."

"They are all out of the fifth server, so it can't be considered a crime. I think it's because the Ai family can't remember for a while, so I can't be sure...Okay, get up, since you have followed the master wholeheartedly, naturally you should be rewarded."

Xiaozhuang nodded with a smile, and asked Su Malagu to take a jade wrench for him, and said softly with a smile: "There is nothing here for you children to reward, since you are Xiao Wu'er's bodyguard, Thinking about it, he should be good at riding and shooting, so I reward you for pulling the finger."

Greedy Wolf hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, took the wrench and put it away carefully.Yin Qi couldn't see it clearly from the side, but he could see the exquisiteness of the fingers at a glance.I couldn't help but move slightly in my heart, but laughed lightly and joked: "The ancestor has such a good thing——I would have asked for it if I knew it..."

"You don't practice that all day long—by the way, you practice Tai Chi, you just use knives and swords, and you have learned Kung Fu from Han people. How can you use this?" Xiao Zhuang nodded his forehead with a smile, and then He took the dessert from the table, picked a piece and fed it to him and said, "Don't eat it soon? Don't say that the ancestors don't love you..."

The room was full of laughter for a while, even Xiao Shisan jumped on the kang for fun, and he would not stop until the ancestors fed him.Yin Qi wanted to go back and celebrate the New Year with all the ministers in front of the Qianqing Palace, chatted and laughed with Xiao Zhuang for a while, and then got up to leave.The thirteenth elder brother was still young, so he asked the maid to carry him back to the house to rest.Xiao Zhuang looked at the back of the two master and servant leaving, and thought for a long time before slowly saying: "Su Ma...does this look familiar to you?"

"It looks familiar, but I'm not sure - when the servant saw him pick up the finger puller, his expression was not the slightest bit abnormal, as if he had never seen it before, and he didn't know what it was..."

Aunt Su Mala thought about it, then couldn't help but frowned slightly and said: "Furthermore—this servant still remembers the situation at that time, the man and the eldest son were all killed, and the rest of the descendants were also beheaded everywhere. The family property was also confiscated. This incident is still a scar in the heart of the Long Live Lord..."

"He said it was from Wufu... Maybe it was a coincidence, but it's just that they look alike." Xiaozhuang shook his head slightly, then smiled lightly and said: "Since he is with Xiao Wuer, he must I hang around in front of the emperor every day, if there is something strange, the emperor should have noticed it a long time ago - if there is no reaction until now, maybe it is really not in a hurry to find out..."

Aunt Su Ma nodded her head in response, and said with a light smile: "My servant sees that he is really loyal to Elder Brother, and refuses to let go even a single step. I will take care of everything for Elder Brother first. If it is really reliable Well, it's a good thing that elder brother has such a caring waiter by his side..."

"People compare their hearts with their hearts. That child treats others well with his own heart. Naturally, he deserves such repayment."

Xiao Zhuang responded with a smile, his eyes filled with comfort and warmth, and sighed softly again: "Xiao Wu'er is not hard enough to beat his life, he almost died several times, but in the end he is called He stumbled through it so hard. Now that all the hard work has finally come to an end, watching him grow up day by day, Aijia feels more relieved than anyone else in his heart——I don’t ask him to be more promising, as long as this life can be safe If everything goes well, life is satisfactory, Aijia will be content..."

"Brother is blessed with a future, and he is guaranteed to be safe and sound."

Aunt Su Ma responded with a smile, but suddenly there was some worry in her eyes, she hesitated and said: "I am just worried about the finger pull... If I just give it to the young guard, will there be any accidents in the future?" ?”

"It's all right. Zhengbai Banner has lost its owner a long time ago, so what's the use of pulling the finger now?" Xiaozhuang smiled indifferently, shook his head and said slowly: "Let's talk—even if At the beginning, to mobilize those Niulu Erzhen, you can't just rely on the finger pull, you have to have the Jade Spike. Now that the Jade Spike has long since disappeared with the destruction of the Nala clan, then how can there be such a thing? Coincidentally, it happened to be on a half-sized doll..."
