starling is not a bird

After lunch, the elder brother was in a hurry to pack up, and he also rushed the younger brothers to pack up. Seeing that he was so close to home, he really missed his son!My son, there is no such unlucky second brother!

In fact, I don't have a bad impression of my brother and sister elder brother. I still remember that when she just married in, my own Fujin went to pay her respects, but she returned the ceremony in a serious manner. For this, the elder brother felt her affection point.

Who made his younger brother ignorant and favor those little wives?Whenever he had more time, he went to mess with the servants, but the crown princess was pitiful, and taking control of Yuqing Palace was like a decoration.

The tenth elder brother was never impatient with these small tasks, and walked around the room. After a few instructions, he took the newly acquired eagle stand to find the eighth elder brother, completely ignoring that the eighth elder brother was also in a hurry.

Ma Qiyun was also greeting the eighth elder brother in the yard. Seeing the tenth elder brother came in, everyone saluted. He smiled and said: "It just so happens that the Lord came, our master is feeding the fish in the small garden behind, and the slave will lead the way for the Lord."

The sunlight in early autumn was very thin, passing through the layers of red maple, and still sprinkled mottled all over the ground. Eight princes sat on the willow tree with crooked necks by the pond, with their pants rolled up over their knees, playing with their feet. school of fish.

Seeing Brother Ten coming, Brother Eight smiled and waved: "Old Ten, come here, there is something interesting here."

There is a purple bamboo couch by the pond, on which are eighth elder brother's robes and cloaks, and the servants are holding a few glazed vats. Ten elder brother looked at it, and found that it was honey-soaked plums and foreign persimmons mixed with sugar. Handed the eagle rack in the garden to the waiter to hang on the tree, and picked up a few pieces of honey-soaked fruit in the glazed vat and ate them, which were quite refreshingly sweet.

Going to the side of the eighth elder brother, I picked up some fish food from the celadon jar in his arms to feed the fish, and pulled the eighth elder brother's leg up: "Mynah, the water is cold, stop playing, or your legs will hurt again .”

The eighth elder brother said unwillingly: "Good morning, it's hot now, it's okay."

The tenth elder brother remained silent, and reached out to take the jar from the eighth elder brother's arms. The servants came over with cloth towels to wipe the eighth elder brother's feet, and the tenth elder brother helped the eighth elder brother to put on his shoes.

Pulling his younger brother to sit down together, the eighth brother mysteriously lowered his voice and said: "Old Ten, wait a moment, there will be fun soon!"

Elder Brother Ten didn't know why, so the servants next to him also had expressions of expectation and excitement. They were about to ask, but Elder Eight raised his finger and made a silent movement, and Elder Ten fell silent.

The school of fish in the small garden was still swimming in vain, hoping that more food would fall from the sky, while Elder Brother Ten sat silently, waiting for the good-looking things that his elder brother claimed to appear, and occasionally scooped up a mouthful of foreign food with a spoon. persimmon.

Just when Elder Brother Ten was feeling bored, there were some rustling sounds from the side bushes, and then a fluffy head, the breeze knocked down the sweet-scented osmanthus on the branch, and the golden stamens sprinkled on the water surface, causing The school of fish began to get excited.Then the fat cat crawled out, with a smaller cat hanging on its tail.

Two cats came out waddlingly, the elder cat in the front was from Sanhua, and the younger cat in the back was black and white. After taking a few sips of water, the elder cat began to lick his fur slowly, holding on to his own tail .Brother Cat climbed up the crooked-necked willow tree, and stretched out his claws to catch the fish in the pond.

It's a pity that the fish in the pond had been bred long ago and had great strength to escape. Not only did they not get caught by the kitten, they even jumped up deliberately from time to time and splashed some water to bully the kitten. The cat brother was not reconciled, The little paw tried hard again and again, but when the fur all over his body was soaked, he couldn't catch a single fish scale.

Seeing Brother Cat trying to catch fish while shaking his fur, Elder Brother Ten couldn't help laughing, leaning sideways on Brother Eight's shoulder and whispering, "Brother, that cat is so stupid."

The eighth elder brother pursed his lips and smiled, patted his younger brother's head and remained silent. The combing three-colored cat finally couldn't help it. He jumped onto the willow tree and slapped his paws heavily on the water, waiting for the fish to jump up. He bit the head hard, then turned around and threw the fish to the shore from a high place, and patted the head of the cat brother with his paws. When the cat brother started to eat fish, the sanhua cat caught several more before giving up.

The cat brother ran to the shore, and when he purred and ate, he didn't forget to turn his head and yell at the cat brother, and then the two cats purred and ate the fish together.

Brother Ten rubbed on Brother Eight's shoulder: "Brother, do you think this cat looks like ours?"

The eighth elder brother picked a piece of cake from the snack box and fed it to his younger brother: "Nonsense, how can they be as cute as my younger brother?"

But Elder Brother Shi clearly saw the playfulness in his elder brother's eyes, and tried to swallow the sweet snack in his mouth. Unconvinced, Elder Brother Ten hurriedly said: "Brother, I will work hard to become stronger in the future. I will catch fish for you to eat, so I don't want you to work hard." .”

Now even the servant behind couldn't help laughing, Eighth Brother tried to maintain a serious face: "Old Ten, I'm not a cat, you don't have to work hard to catch fish!"

The tenth brother blushed, sat up straight, tilted his head and stared at a leaf in a daze, and refused to talk to the person who made fun of him. The eighth brother put down the snack box and asked the waiter to feed the two cats with one or two yuan , the two cats have also gotten used to this kind of feeding in the past few days, they lowered their heads and sniffed and began to eat.

The eighth elder brother coughed lightly when he saw the redness of his younger brother's ears receding slowly, and found a new topic: "Old Ten, seeing that you have come back this time, you have procrastinated so much, and you are not too tired."

Elder Brother Ten curled his lips: "It's not that Brother Ninth is too greedy. If he didn't bring more, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough."

The eighth elder brother stood up, shook the fallen flowers on his clothes, and the servant came up to help him put on the outer robe, and pulled the tenth elder brother up: "I'm afraid the servants are almost ready, go and see the eldest brother and the others. , hurry up tonight, I'm afraid I can go back tomorrow."

The tenth elder brother handed the eagle in front of the eighth elder brother: "Brother, look, this is a filial piety from the people below, isn't it interesting? It is said that it can catch rabbits and foxes, try it on the road later?"

The eighth elder brother took a few glances at the eagle, and sure enough, his eyes were piercing, his expression was unruly, every feather was very black and shiny, and he wanted to tease it, but he didn't hold anything in his hand, so he had to.

When the two of them walked to the outer courtyard, the sky was getting darker in the afternoon. While watching the people packing up the carriage, the eighth elder brother put on his cloak for the tenth elder brother: "It's windy, I don't wear so much, I caught a cold What can I do?"

The tenth elder brother folded his hands, watched the eighth elder brother carefully fasten the scarlet belt around his neck, and then said: "Brother, let's walk together tonight!"

The eighth elder brother nodded, but did not make a sound. The elder brother's subordinates just followed the elder brother's wishes and urged them to leave, and the two elder brothers got on the horse together.

On the official road, the elder brother and the fourth elder brother were already ready to go. The two younger elder brothers hurried up to say hello. The fourth elder brother frowned and said to the elder brother: "Brother, the weather is not right, I'm afraid it will change at night."

The eldest elder brother raised his brows and said disapprovingly: "If the wind and rain come, we can all get into the carriage. We are about to reach the capital. This idea of ​​the road is nothing, and there are no steep mountains ahead, so it's okay."

The fourth elder brother nodded, and the eldest elder brother raised his whip and slapped it loudly, and the convoy set off in a mighty manner.

From Baoding to the capital, there are few mountain roads, only a few small hills, and the autumn scenery is not bad. The brothers all sat on the horses, chatting and laughing, and it was very lively.

At dusk, it was really cold, and the cold wind clung to the ground and refused to stop. The hand holding the rein soon became numb and painful. Although the elder brother had a good face, he was not a bad person. into the carriage, but still drove his younger brother into it.The servants had no choice but to take out the wolf fur cloak that was kept at the bottom of the box and put it on for the master, but when the raindrops became more and more dense, the elder brother had to dismount and hide in the carriage to avoid it.

The tenth elder brother rushed into the eighth elder brother's carriage early, and began to show off the various soil and objects he brought back like offering treasures, forcing the eighth elder brother to taste and comment on it.

The eighth elder brother looked at the guards who were sent around by his younger brother, and couldn't help but began to persuade him: "I heard that your uncle has also recovered, so at least you should show some face to your cousin and uncle!"

"Brother, why don't I give them face? Huang Ama gave them to me. If I don't need them, who would treat them as my confidants?" Elder Brother Shi was depressed: "Besides, Bringing them out this time is to let them make meritorious deeds and make a fortune, what else should I do?"

The eighth elder brother is about to sigh, why is this child so sincere?

: "If you want to lift them up, let others do such trivial things. You think it's closeness, but they don't think so! Those who can't be lifted up are useless, but those who can be lifted up are arrogant. Now, who would like to be yelled at? Think about it, am I right?"

Elder Brother Shi didn't get the answer right, so he simply opened the curtain to see the wind and rain outside. Could it be that such a dark twilight is what people often say that the wind and rain are as dark as they are?In the distance, there were flames flickering in the distance, Elder Brother Ten was wondering, in such a heavy wind and rain, who is cooking in the wild?

The next loud noise disrupted his thoughts, the rumbling sound was close to one sound, and there was a faint terror of shaking the mountains, and the carriage under him also began to shake.

Brother Ten and Brother Eight looked at each other, and they both understood that the situation was wrong!
