starling is not a bird

In spring and March, the grass and insects that have been dormant for a whole winter come out to breathe. Under the shadow of the flowers and in front of the clear water, the various flowers that bloom one after another become more and more beautiful.Brother Bai waited on Eighth Brother to get up and go out early in the morning and started to lead people to work. Xin Zheku only did some heavy laundry work, and the delicate clothes on the master's body had to be taken care of by people in the yard.

A few rows of long ropes were pulled up in the apse. After many days of cold and cloudy weather, such a rare bright sun was a good time to dry off. Both the servants and maids had flushed faces.The breeze blew by, and there was a burst of coolness. The brocade robe and the hemmed silk handkerchief were all bright in the wind.

The camphor tree in the corner has grown densely, so I moved a mattress to sit on, and it was cool and free of mosquitoes. Brother Bai handed over the front to Aman to watch, and started to do the needlework slowly by himself.

The goldfish had just embroidered two spikes on its tail when it played in the water, when Xiaoduo came over and said that the people from His Highness Ninth Highness were coming and wanted someone in charge to come over.

Brother Bai put down the work in his hands, straightened his slightly messy temples, smoothed the corners of his skirt, and walked over with his back straight. Several of His Royal Highness's favored servants came, including Yu Yi and He Yuzhu.

Brother Bai hurried forward to greet him: "What wind brought you two here?"

Yu Yi said with a smile: "Our master has poured out good things to honor your master again. Baba will send it in. If you have said it, send it quickly!"

Xiao Zhuzi came out with a tray, and each of them handed over a cup of hot tea. He Yuzhu took it in his hand and didn't drink it: "Brother Bai, don't be silly, we even brought craftsmen over. His Highness Ninth Prince said it was a Western thing, so it should be placed in the Here, His Highness the Eighth Prince, just leave Eunuch Ma here to watch, and please don't come out to other family members, it will be fine in a while!"

Brother Bai nodded: "How can craftsmen come in? It must be brought by the guards! I have worked hard for you, and I will definitely ask you for a reward when our master comes back!"

Yu Yi had already drank the tea in his hand: "What are you talking about? We should be slaves, shouldn't we? It would be nice to have another cup of hot tea, I'm so thirsty!"

Xiao Zhuzi pursed his lips and smiled, while he came up to take the cup and poured water, Brother Bai called Ma Qiyun to the front to watch, and he led the maids back to the back hall, telling everyone not to leave the back hall at will Door, as long as anyone who is not afraid of death comes out to be ashamed, there is no need to wait for the master to come back, and he will be dragged directly to the House of Internal Affairs to have his leg broken!

The maids were all crowded in the apse and chattering, Brother Bai led Aman to yell several times to get better, the younger ones were allowed to scatter around, but they were not allowed to go out, and the older ones sat in twos and threes with their work.

After the little girls were settled, Brother Bai went to the two princesses to answer in person. The two princesses were gathering together, lighting Canaan incense and copying Buddhist scriptures. Doing this effort every day, the two Ge Ge naturally dare not slack off, and copy scriptures together after taking a nap in the afternoon.

Gege from the Shang family didn't even stop the pen in his hand, but just nodded to show that he understood. Gege from the Hela family asked a few questions carefully, but Brother Bai didn't know the situation, so he answered vaguely. Although he, Lagege was not satisfied , there is no way.

Brother Bai made another dish of tea for them before resigning, took his Xilian goldfish and sat in the old position and began to fly the needle and thread again.

After a while, Yu Yi came in, looked at Aman and said: "Sisters are wronged, they move very fast, just wait a while and it will be fine!"

Aman opened the candied fruit box beside him, and let Yu Yi pick and eat by himself: "Didn't your master come early this morning to drag our master away? Are you back now?"

Yu Yi picked a rose cream stick to suck in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Our master has a trick. He sent us here after taking your master out on purpose, and said that he would surprise him when the Eighth Highness came back!"

Aman smiled when he heard the words: "Your master has a heart, and you think about our master everywhere. What's new this time?"

Brother Bai also raised his head and said: "Looking at these years with a cold eye, your master has become more and more like a master, but facing our master, that is a little bit of a petty fuddle!"

Yu Yi lifted up the hem of his clothes and sat down next to Brother Bai: "Isn't that right, our master always wants to save a portion of anything fresh and interesting to eat, and it really is a brother who can do this!"

Aman bit his lower lip and smiled: "The one in the concubine Jia's belly is the real brother! I haven't seen your master treat other masters like this, it's better for them to fall in love with each other! That's how it is!"

Yu Yi turned his head and looked around, his eyes curled up: "Don't say this in front of our master, I was anxious about His Highness using this to tease him a while ago! His Highness has been hurt by our master many times. !"

Everyone laughed for a while, and Aman laughed: "Is the Tenth Highness crazy? They are usually brothers, knowing that the Ninth Highness doesn't like to hear this, why do you have to provoke him?"

Brother Bai inserted the needle in his hand into the scales of the goldfish, looked at Aman and said, "Next time, let's be more careful when speaking in front of His Highness the Tenth Highness. I see that, he is also jealous!"

While the few people were talking, Ma Qiyun also came in: "It's all cleaned up outside, everyone should disperse! Be careful, little girls, there are precious things in the outside room, don't stretch your hands or feet, if you break it, be careful Your skin!"

All the maids agreed, and Brother Bai got up to send Yu Yi off. As soon as he got to the outside room, he saw He Yuzhu guarding there, directing someone to take a piece of silk and satin to cover something up.

: "Our master said, don't tell your masters yet, and show him after he finds out!"

He Yuzhu straightened the corners of the satin, trying to cover it tightly.

: "What a childish temper, how can you look like a man? Okay, I see, you go back to His Highness Ninth Prince, just don't worry!"

Without waiting for others to speak, Oman rushed to speak first.

He Yuzhu smiled, lowered his head and didn't answer, Yu Yi rushed forward and pulled him to salute and left, Aman looked at Brother Bai and smiled: "I don't know what precious things are, it's only wise to do so , I want to see it!"

Brother Bai said indifferently: "That's the business of the masters. As servants, don't we just listen to it? Let's do our own thing, don't stand around and watch the fun! The clothes hanging outside can be collected by others." , the sun is almost setting."

Recently the crown prince was very upset, he insisted on the opinions of the ministers and workers agreeing to issue new coins, but it was still difficult to talk about the preparations with the Ministry of Households.Several provinces begged the court to distribute relief money, and the booklets were written every three days. The military expenditure in the Northwest seemed to be a bottomless pit.But Ling Pu came to tell himself that the construction of the palace in the capital was in full swing.

The emperor was furious, blood flowed profusely, but fortunately His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was only a reserve emperor, so he could only kill a few slaves who happened to be an eyesore in his own Yufang Palace, and then went to question Prince Yu on airs.

The confused Prince Yu faced the Crown Prince who was full of anger, and the final outcome was bound to break up. Prince Yu felt that he was aggrieved as an uncle. His nanny righted him, and he couldn't bear this kind of dirty air anymore!

On the contrary, the eighth elder brother was very surprised when he was dragged out by his younger brother. Now, no matter whether it is in the court hall or in the inner palace, the atmosphere is quite tense. Apart from studying obediently in Wuyi Hall, he spends his free time going to Concubine Hui After sitting with Cheng Huan for a while, he didn't dare to take more than one step, and he didn't dare to say more than one word.

The eldest elder brother tried his best to keep away from the crown prince, and thought that he had the wisdom pearl in his hands, but he just wanted to make the crown prince fall bloody before Huang Ama's class teacher returned to the court.Officials from all walks of life are invited to banquets every day, but whatever the crown prince wants, there is no way to make things difficult for a while.

The eighth elder brother knew very well that the eldest elder brother was setting fire to himself, so he not only hid himself far away, but also prevented the two younger brothers from coming forward, watched closely every day, and forced them to practice calligraphy with him. He was forced to copy the scriptures, and even brought everyone in the room with him, saying that it was to pray for the holy birthday of the empress dowager.

The two younger brothers have no objections, Brother Nine is alright, Brother Ten has more concubine Wen Xi's anniversary to prepare, but it's hard for the princesses in his room, and they will start facing the window after breakfast Writing can only finish a day's work until it gets dark.

As a result, the expenses in several of their yards have skyrocketed. Fortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has never dared to watch people take care of these things under the banner, and is willing to agree to anything.Even if Ling Pu wanted to be frugal in everything for the crown prince's sake, he didn't have the nerve to ask them to reduce the expenses.

Riding on horses, and putting on the prince's ceremonial guards, the mighty group of people headed east of the city. The eighth elder brother was full of suspicion, not knowing what kind of medicine the younger brothers were selling in the gourd.

Arriving in the east of the city, the yellow copper nails on the vermilion lacquer gate of the Wangfu shone faintly in the sun, and the eighth elder brother unconsciously looked back at the ninth elder brother, who was smiling proudly: "Myna, how are you? I didn't expect that." Bar!"

The tenth elder brother pulled the dazed eighth elder brother and said: "Mynah, don't stand there stupidly, let's go in and have a look!"

The eighth elder brother followed his younger brother into the gate. Buyuhou was already there, and the ninth elder brother waved his hand: "It's not seventy or eighty, why sit in Buyu? It's interesting to walk and see the scenery!"

A few people walked in hand in hand, the smell of new paint was pungent, Brother Ba knew it in his mind: "Old Ninth, what benefits have you given to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Ninth elder brother said: "Who cares about dealing with them? I directly pay the money for labor and materials. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is short of money, but I don't lack it!"

Elder Brother Ten shook his head and smiled: "Brother Ninth, you are afraid of biting your hands because you have too much money, and you have to work hard for Myna to make a name for you. Let me tell you earlier, my younger brother can help you too!"

Brother Nine's neck was snarled: "Go to the side, you have the ability to honor my elder brother?"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically pointed out various scenery to the eighth elder brother. The water tank in the courtyard and the glazed tile gazebo in the nave were all carefully purchased. The eighth elder brother listened with a smile and nodded from time to time, but his heart Make up your mind, you must talk to Prince Yu when you go back, find a way to settle this matter, and then tell Huang Ama that the ninth brother supported the new policy of the crown prince, and used the money to relieve the disaster, saving expenses for the Ministry of Internal Affairs .
