starling is not a bird

It snowed heavily in the capital for seven consecutive days, and Kangxi thought of his grandmother again. Could it be that the anniversary of death is approaching, and his grandmother missed him?Thinking of this, Kangxi caught the wind and cold, and the Crown Prince Prime Minister started various affairs. Kangxi thought about it, and the sacrifice of the emperor's grandmother should not be ignored, so he sent the fourth elder brother to Feng'an Hall to perform the sacrifice.

Although it is the first time that the fourth elder brother is in charge of such an errand, fortunately there are regulations from the Ministry of Rituals and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it can be done properly by following the example. The fourth elder brother is only there to show the emperor's importance. The son in my heart worked hard some time ago, give him a simple errand to rest!

Sifujin was pregnant for the first time, so he was naturally uneasy. He even had scary nightmares a few nights ago. When he needed company most, he said that the prince was heavy. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Fujin felt that even his waist didn't hurt that much.It's just that she is too embarrassed to say such thoughts. Which woman dares to open her mouth and let a man stay with her without doing anything at home?

Some time ago, the fourth elder brother was busy in the household department in the dark, and Si Fujin felt sorry for her husband and worried about her stomach, so she would never worry about it any day.The concubine de concubine actually said that she should not pass because of her heavy body, how could Sifujin dare to respond?That is my serious mother-in-law, it is a blessing not to set the rules by the concubine's side every day and night, how can I slack off when I talk to her occasionally?

The concubine de concubine looked at the light blue color under her daughter-in-law's eyelids, what didn't she know?They are all women, who doesn't want their husbands to be with them all the time?But even though the son is her son, she can't help but worry about it.On the contrary, the concubine Liu Shi who followed the concubine Defei was smart, and she could see that, after a few days, the fourth elder brother was transferred from the household department by Kangxi to be in charge of the sacrifice ceremony.

The concubine de concubine didn't really like Mrs. Liu at first, she just fell into such a big favor, she had to express it no matter what, and she took Mrs. Liu with her when she saw the emperor again, Mrs. Liu was lucky. Once the brand was ready, the Concubine De concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Liu became more respectful.

It's rare for the fourth elder brother to be free. Who knows how many concubines his good Fujin begged for, and put a few princesses in his room, saying that he wanted to take good care of the master. The daughter-in-law has dealt with it, so she doesn't need to tell him.

The fourth elder brother originally thought that Fujin was also pregnant, and Fujin was also pregnant, and the master happened to be sleeping alone, and when he lifted the curtain, he was lying shyly and timidly waiting under the quilt, naked as a little beauty than Huajiao!

The fourth elder brother almost lost his temper!Color is a bone scraper!Grandpa, I finally have time to rest and catch my breath, Fujin, how many fresh little girls will you give to Grandpa?

Although it is not good to throw out the NPC in winter, the fourth elder brother didn't show any good face to his wives and concubines in those few days, so he went to invite a Buddha statue back, saying that he would fast and purify his body for the sacrifice, and not allow women to come near!

It's a pity that the fourth elder brother's beautiful and lofty pursuit has not been recognized by the general public. Not being close to women has never been the advantage of a prince elder brother, but it will lead to some bad speculations. It was maliciously told as a joke by some people!

This joke quickly spread throughout the elder brother's office. Because of Kangxi's poor health, countless concubines have told this joke to the emperor, and when the emperor laughed, he could compliment the emperor's dragon-horse spirit by the way!

The prince, who was laughing for a quarter of an hour at that time, decided to show respect to his brothers and sisters, and immediately asked Ling Pu to pack the medicinal materials, and went to visit his younger brother in person, completely ignoring the other party's black face and acting tenderly: "Old four!" , you are still young, pay more attention, you will be fine!"

The blue veins on the fourth elder brother's forehead almost jumped out to protest, the ridicule in the prince's eyes was too obvious, and the way to find the balance was too rough!But there is no way, the words came from me, the fourth brother can only suffer from being dumb!

The depressed fourth elder brother originally wanted to chat with eighth elder brother, but after wandering around to the household department, he heard that eighth elder brother hadn't come over for the past few days, and sent someone to inquire, only to find out that eighth elder brother was injured on the expedition and was at home Will keep it!The fourth elder brother, who was worried about his younger brother, wanted to visit him, but because he had to preside over the ceremony, the patient's room was a taboo, so he had to ask his confidant to ask about the situation in detail, and then wrote a letter to comfort his younger brother!

Kangxi sent the elder brother and the third elder brother to Datong to cooperate with the general Fei Yanggu to renovate the equipment and herd the horses to prepare for the next spring.Because the Chinese New Year is coming, and it's severe cold weather, the homework in Wuyi Hall has stopped, and the little brothers also went back to their mother and concubine to have a good time.

Concubine Yi is in a better mood recently. Even if Kangxi began to favor those concubines, it didn't affect her mood. Even if she is a concubine, she knows that she is getting older, and the emperor often comes to see her for more Compared with those slender and beautiful Han women, I have more advantages of birth, so what else do I want?Look at his two sons, neither of them is the emperor's favorite, so what is there to fight for?

It doesn't matter if Concubine Yi starts to look at it, but she pays more attention to Brother Nine. Brother Fifth suffers because he doesn't understand Sinology, so it's rare to be of great use. Even Fujin, who refers to marriage, is much lower than his brothers, and Concubine Yi knows it well This is Kangxi who is too noble to marry in for the good of his son, so it is inevitable that he has other ideas.But if Brother Jiu doesn't get another good Fujin, Concubine Yi will not be happy!

So recently Concubine Yi stared at Brother Nine to death, and would invite him to talk to him from time to time, and even Ge Ge in his room wished to give them a lecture the next day, and looked at their stomachs every time. The girls all blushed and bowed their heads, daring not to make a sound.

Although the ninth elder brother doesn't like reading very much, but he doesn't like being controlled by his mother and concubine even more, and he got annoyed within a few days. This time, he just excused himself from going and leaned on the chair to look at the account book, and the tenth elder brother rushed over up.

"The starling has been ill for so long, why don't you go and see?" The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with a little dissatisfaction.

Brother Jiu threw away the account book in his hand: "Mynah is sick, why didn't I know?"

: "I have been ill for a few days, and I have been holding on without saying anything. Today, I met the servant of Concubine Hui who delivered the medicine! I have been busy these days, and I didn't pay attention. If you are all right, Brother Ninth, let's go together." Let's see!"

The tenth brother is angry, and he has been helping the fourth brother these days. The fourth brother always loves to support others, and he is so busy that he forgot to ask the starling how he is!I have been sick for a few days, and I don't know it, so I can't help but feel guilty.

The two brothers took a few people at random and rushed to the eighth elder brother's yard. The servant in front just opened the curtain, and a gust of warm wind rushed towards his face, and his nose was full of the smell of medicine.

The two little elder brothers frowned, quickened their pace, and heard the eighth elder brother's voice: "Clean up quickly!"

Entering the inner room, the servants are helping the eighth elder brother to get up, and one of the servants is holding a big wooden barrel to exit, the ninth elder brother hurriedly stepped forward to look at the wooden barrel, it was full of medicinal soup, and knew it was the eighth elder brother I was soaking my legs just now!Hastily stopped the waiter: "Your master is ready?"

The waiter naturally recognized Brother Nine, and said with a smile: "If you go back to the master, the court judge said to make as many bubbles as possible. When the master saw the men coming, he was in a hurry to get up, and he almost didn't have the time!"

Brother Jiu put his hands behind his back and said, "Take it back, let your master continue soaking!"

After saying that, he turned around to show his face at the eighth elder brother: "Mynah, why are you doing this? We are close relatives, why are you like this? What should we do? My old ten and I just came to see, you are so polite. Is it on?"

The waiter hurriedly brought the wooden barrel over, and the waiter kneeling at Brother Ba's feet rolled up his trouser legs again, and Brother Ten went to the battle himself to put Brother Ba's legs into the barrel.

The eighth elder brother hurriedly said: "I'll come by myself, tenth you are sitting there, why are you all so stunned, serve tea to the guests!"

Brother Nine didn’t go to sit on the chair at all, but sat directly next to Brother Eight, pressed his shoulder and said, “What kind of tea should I drink? Come here, I will accompany your master to have dinner today!"

The little Yao'er by the door got the letter, happily went to the kitchen to spread the word, the eighth elder brother had no choice but to think that he was one of his own, so he didn't care so much.

The tenth elder brother saw that the eighth elder brother's leg was pale, and some blood came up after soaking in it. He went over and pinched the eighth elder brother's knee, and the eighth elder brother frowned and remained silent.

: "Mynah, your leg is cold, you need to take care of it carefully, you can't catch the cold anymore!"

Brother Ten has been practicing swords and guns for more than a year, and also loves to play with the guards in the barracks. He has seen many injuries and gained a lot of experience.

After hearing this, Brother Nine asked the servants to move more braziers to the inner room, and asked the maids to lower the curtain of the inner room, insisting that the cold outside would come in. Smiling, watching the younger brothers busy for themselves, to be honest, I am very happy in my heart, it is not in vain that Master Fei loves them so much to the bone!But Lao Jiu, do you want to suffocate my brother and me to death?

: "Old Nine, they are all closed, the smell is bad, here is a big barrel of medicine!" Brother Ba said softly.

"It's okay, brother Bai, take out the lily incense in the box and burn it, what are you keeping for it? Ask the master for more after you use it up, there are so many!" Brother Jiu ignored his starling at all.

There were five or six servants in the eighth elder brother's room, and three or four court ladies were surrounded by the ninth elder brother's envoys. Here, the tenth elder brother quietly brought in a big pillow from the outside, let the eighth elder brother lean on it, and carefully held it Fish out the eighth prince's braid.

"Ninth brother, why are you not tired? Come here and sit with mynah, wouldn't it be good?" After tenth elder brother served eighth elder brother, he felt dizzy looking at himself ninth elder brother.

Ninth brother also felt a little thirsty, so he poured down a cup of residual tea from eighth brother on the table, and eighth brother couldn't stop him: "Hey, it's cold, let them brew it again New tea is here!"

Brother Nine sat down next to Brother Eight: "I can't wait, let's quench my thirst first!"

Smacking his lips: "Brother, your tea doesn't taste right?"

The eighth elder brother was angry and funny: "My tea is not tea, it is astragalus water. Naturally, the taste is not good, but it is good for Qi and heart, and there is no harm!"

There was already a court lady bringing over two new cups of tea on the tea tray, Elder Brother Ten took a sip from a cup, Elder Brother Nine put it aside to cool off.

: "Mynah, this medicine smells very good!"

Brother Nine sniffled: "You too, why don't you tell us how you got hurt, don't you think we two are brothers? The one in Empress Jiafei's stomach hasn't been born yet, so you don't want us, are you so cruel!"

The eighth elder brother lazily replied, "You like to give me a bunch of false accusations, am I that kind of person? It's not an injury, it's just that Tianhan is in some pain, why don't you go and inform me?"

The eighth elder brother naturally knew that there was nothing serious about his leg, but in his last life, his leg had been sick many times, and it was festered at that time. Huang Ama was still worried about himself, insisting that he slipped off for an excuse, so he gritted his teeth, It took half a year of limping to get a fake peace of mind to recuperate.

and after?The fourth brother punished himself to kneel in the Taimiao every time he moved. Every trace of the cold wind in the deep winter pierced into the bones, and he refused to come out. Every winter was hard to bear.

Now I'm afraid that the pain is carved into the bones, and it will start to cause trouble when the cold wind blows. Is this pain a heart disease?The eighth elder brother smiled wryly in his heart, I am afraid that there is no cure.

The potion had been soaked for an hour, the servant took a cloth towel and wrapped Eighth Prince's leg in his arms, removed the wooden barrel, and a servant came in from the outside, carrying a box on his back to say hello: "Master, how about starting now?"

The eighth elder brother thought for a while: "You go down to eat first, the master has to eat first, you have enough strength after eating! Brother Bai, add some good dishes for him!" The brother Bai next to him bowed in response , and asked someone to lead the waiter to dinner.

: "Master, are you eating now?"

: "Well, go and boil the pot of wine!"

Nine elder brothers pressed eighth elder brothers: "Mynah, you can just snuggle up on the bed, why bother to come down and just take medicine, you must cover it, let someone carry the table over, what's the inconvenience?"

The eighth elder brother couldn't turn him around, so he had to agree, and the ninth elder brother happily took the quilt for the elder brother, and took several foot stoves to press the quilt, and turned out the wolf fur cloak that the eighth elder brother brought to press the bottom of the box. My brother put it on, and finally tilted his head to look: "This way you won't catch the cold!"

Even the tenth elder brother couldn't stand it anymore: "Ninth brother, there is no wind here!"

The eighth brother looked gratefully at the old ten, yes, I didn’t feel the wind, I was almost sweating, the old ten, save your starling!

Brother Nine's neck twitched: "You've been hanging out with the bastards a lot, do you think everyone is a bastard?"

Fortunately, Brother Bai had already ordered the servants to move the big table to the bed, and the seven plates and eight bowls were also set on the table. Eighth Brother hurriedly took off the cloak and concentrated on serving the dishes for the younger brothers.

: "Come on, try this, highland barley wine, brought back from a long way, the taste is a bit strong, but it is really good wine!"

Brother Jiu held up the cup and sniffed it, feeling a little disgusted, but since it was mynah who poured it, he still took a sip, his throat immediately filled with acridness, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Elder Brother Ten looked at Elder Ninth, he swallowed his neck, and put the glass away: "Good wine, it's for men, Mynah, have another glass!"

Brother Ba pushed the jug over, took a cloth towel from the waiter and handed it to Brother Jiu, picked up a piece of milk fish fillet with chopsticks, carefully picked out the fishbone, and fed it to Brother Jiu: "This wine is a fierce wine. Don't drink too much!"

Brother Jiu had heard Lao Ten's sullen smile, chewing the sweet fish meat, and seeing the smug smile on Old Ten's face opposite him, no matter how disgusting he looked, he picked up his glass and took a sip: "It's good wine, only men can drink it." Drink it!"

Just after drinking, Brother Jiu's face turned red. Starting from the cheeks, the blush spread towards the eyes. Brother Jiu's skin was as white as snow. Delicate to describe.

The eighth elder brother didn't look good. Although Lao Jiu was ranked ninth, his drinking capacity was only average. The highland barley wine was also quite strong, so it's best not to get drunk.

Immediately, someone changed the Hua Diao up, and started persuading the food again. Zhiji's servant hung up the curtains and opened the outer window again. Brother Shi is not provoking now, winning once a day is enough, if there are too many It's also quite boring, isn't it?

After the table was cleared, all three of them rinsed their mouths with tea, and the little waiter came in blushing with the box on his back: "Master, the medicine is still there, shall we start now?"

The eighth elder brother looked at his younger brothers in embarrassment. It was rare for the brothers to meet, and he really didn't want to be disturbed. The tenth elder brother looked at the little servant and said, "Which court did you learn the craft from?"

The little servant knelt down and said: "Back to the master, the slave learned from Mr. Huang!"

Elder Brother Ten nodded: "Give him a cushion to kneel on, let's start now!"

The servants rushed forward, but the eighth elder brother looked unhappy, and the tenth elder brother smiled: "Mynah, what are you embarrassed about, it's really not possible, why don't I turn my back on the ninth elder brother?"

As he said that, he pulled Brother Jiu to look out, but Brother Jiu was still confused: "Why don't you allow us to look at it?"

Elder Brother Ten suppressed a smile and said, "That slave is going to press mynah's legs, so of course he has to take off his pants, I am sorry for my poor face!"

Brother Nine snorted: "Brother, you are really a jerk. You are all men. Could it be that you are younger than me? It doesn't matter, I won't laugh at your starling!"

The eighth elder brother's angry voice came from behind: "What nonsense! You are obviously younger than me! If you talk nonsense, you will be beaten!"

Brother Nine sticks out his tongue, laughs silently!

The maid over there had already taken off Eighth Brother's jacket. Seeing that Eighth Brother was unhappy, Brother Bai brought a pair of tight-fitting shorts for him to wear, covered him with a quilt, and called Ninth Brother and the others back.

Brother Nine saw that Brother Eight was ashamed, so he didn't dare to bring up the old story. He just sat obediently beside him. The whole set of tools was put aside, and the hands were pressed first, from the soles of the feet to the calves to the knees, and then a small wooden mallet, the head of which was the size of a quail egg, carefully tapped on the acupuncture points.

Originally, the eighth elder brother was leaning on the pillow and talking to each other, and the ninth elder brother was complaining about Yifei empress stuffing a lot of women for him, and the eighth elder brother joked a few times, only to feel sleepy , Elder Brother Shi smiled slightly: "Brother, if you are tired, just squint for a while, doing this will make you sleepy."

The eighth elder brother is also a little bit unbearable, but always feels that it is not good to let the younger brother hang out and sleep soundly. When the ninth elder brother saw it, his eyelids were fighting. Although he was not happy to be left out by the elder brother, he still said it sensible : "Brother, go to sleep, let's play by ourselves for a while!"

The eighth elder brother said vaguely: "Okay, just squint for a while, and wake me up when you're done!"

The maids were about to come up to serve, but they were stopped by the ninth elder brother. The tenth elder brother moved the pillow away and stuffed a pillow under the eighth elder brother's neck. The sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" knocking on the foot.

Brother Jiu took out a pocket watch from his pocket and looked at it: "It's getting late, how about, why don't we sleep here!"

Elder Brother Shi smiled, and it's not far to go back. Normally, it shouldn't be said, why don't we just go back?But tonight's wine is really good, the food that Myna gave me is also very fragrant, and the smell of medicine in Myna's room is also very good.

A particularly gentle smile floated on his lips: "Yeah, why don't you just sleep next to my starling!"
