starling is not a bird

It is said that getting drunk solves a thousand worries, and sure enough, after the second day, the fourth elder brother continued to do errands in the household department as if nothing had happened, and there was no trace of confusion in front of others, which made Yinhu worry for a while in vain.

Thinking that the inner palace is always full of people, and everyone has their own little girl in their belly, who knows if it is the prince's wives and concubines competing for favor or Huang Ama's harem tampering?But this can't explain why the fourth elder brother's daughter was killed?

Just in case, Yinhu decided to inquire a little bit, so as not to be accidentally injured in the future.Unexpectedly, even the eldest elder brother looked innocent and ignorant, which made Yinhu curious.Quietly took Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi to Prince Yu's mansion to admire the peach blossoms, and asked Ye and Xue with the secret case that they secretly copied out, but they still couldn't understand it, so they had to put it down.

The fourth elder brother is a man of his word. He said that if he wants to be nice to others, he should put his heart at ease. After a few days, he will take Yinhu around, calling it an errand, but coaxing his younger brother to have fun.Although Yinhu was not happy to follow him, the etiquette department managed by the elder brother was really boring, and he didn't want to sit and read and write all day, so he was led away happily.

In the spring of March, it was the time when all the provinces gathered in the capital for the examination. The inns in the capital were full of ambitious young people, talking about the upcoming spring, the charcoal and silver of Shuntian Mansion, and the advice of their respective teachers. .

This day, the two elder brothers just came out in their usual clothes. They were a little tired after running around all day, so they went upstairs and picked a seat by the window to rest for a while.

On the seat was Zhao Wen, a native of Shaanxi Province. This time he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, and he did not forget to meet his own provincial exam examiner.Before leaving, he specially inquired about the rules in Beijing from his fellow villager Wang Quanchen, and honestly packed a door bag of ten taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, my teacher has been a poor Beijing official for a few years, and the official has no big heart.Knowing that Zhao's family is a wealthy landowner in the countryside over there, and counting on his first advice, he would have to pay two or three hundred taels for the door bag, so as to make up for the famine that has fallen in Beijing for several years.Seeing the shriveled door bag presented, he laughed a few times, and served tea to see off the guests without saying a word, and Zhao Sheng was shut down.

When I came back and complained to the waiter, I realized that I was a sincere person, how could I mistakenly believe in villains?It's just to make a fool of himself, Zhao Sheng hates the bad guys so much, but he can't deal with them.At this moment, I have to force myself to laugh and have tea and laugh with my peers, it's so awkward.

They are all poor, their pockets are flat, and their daily provisions cannot keep up with one mouthful. They have to chip in cash for a cup of tea. After a while, the pot of clean tea is exhausted, so they each take out copper coins from their purses to pay the bill.It happened that a piece of money fell on the ground, and a man in blue stepped on the money secretly.

When everyone got up, he dawdled until the end, and quickly bent over to pick up the money and put it in his purse.The two elder brothers sitting next to him had seen it clearly, but they just kept silent.The fourth elder brother waited for him to go far away, then turned his head and called a waiter to come over: "I ask you, do you remember the names of the gangsters just now?" The waiter put a rag on his shoulder and said with a smile "The words of Master Hui are all from Shaanxi, who live in the Yunlai Inn on the west side of the street! The small Chengri family waits on them, and they are familiar with them!"

The fourth elder brother nodded: "Do you know the name of the short man in blue clothes just now?"

: "That's Mr. Wang Quanchen, the first time to visit Beijing this year!"

The fourth elder brother nodded, and the entourage next to him gave half a tang of money to the little second, and the little second thanked him and left. The fourth elder brother drank the tea on the table, looked at his younger brother and said, "Old man, enough rest." Let's go back!" Yinhu didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he just put down his teacup obediently and followed him.The two rode towards the palace together.

"Old Ba, I heard that the tea mountain that Lao Jiu and the others bought is very prosperous!" The fourth elder brother picked up some gossips while riding a horse, and Yinhu smiled and answered him: "The ninth brother is just a child with a heart. , If you see something interesting, try it, how can you expect to be so prosperous?" The fourth elder brother held the rein loosely, and patted the horse's neck from time to time: "That's true, not only is there a lot of movement in the sea, but even their caravan is in the west."

Yinhu didn't intend to hide it from him at all, so he simply told him the truth: "Fourth Brother, this is the wish of Ninth Brother to repay him. Although he is young, he is not only known to play in Chengri's family!"

The fourth elder brother muttered something vaguely, with a different expression on his face, but unfortunately the voice was not loud, and Yinhu couldn't hear it clearly, so he couldn't ask again. After a while, the fourth elder brother suddenly said: "Give me your hand!" Yinhu laughed Laughing: "I'm using it!" He pulled his rein to signal.

The fourth elder brother glared at him, leaned over and pulled his hand over, and stuffed something into his palm. Yinhu felt it was a ball of paper, so he carefully put it in his sleeve and put it away.

: "Today the eldest brother told Huang Ama about Xiao Jiu's meaning, Huang Ama is very happy!" The fourth elder brother continued to say in a relaxed tone: "I specially pointed out a few people to help, remember to ask Xiao Jiu to rest assured From now on, Huang Ama will be his big backer!"

Yinhu didn't understand what his brother meant at all, he just felt that something was wrong, dinner was served at Concubine Hui's place as usual, the elder brother seemed to be in a better mood recently, and raised his glass to his younger brother again and again: "Thanks for your trouble!" Knowing that he used Xiao Jiu's affairs to please Huang Ama, Yinhu naturally won a lot of praise. Although he was not happy that he pushed Xiao Jiu out like this, but he also understood his elder brother's impatience, so he had to bear it.

At night, Yinhu was lying on the bed, and opened the note that had been hidden for a day. It was just a few names, not outstanding, but how many of them overlapped with the roster of tea shop assistants in Xiaojiu's hand!He knew that these were not Huang Ama's manpower, Huang Ama would not secretly plant spies beside his son, at least not now.

Then these should be the masterpieces of His Highness the Crown Prince, but he really took each step closely, lest the brothers might do something wrong, fortunately, Xiao Jiu was careful everywhere, when suddenly he saw a name: Wei Zhu!

When Kangxi's chief eunuch Liang Jiugong got the news and rushed over, he saw a few chief eunuchs in the yard dragging a thin servant outside the door. Just by the posture of the board, he knew that the servant had offended someone. Not only was his mouth stuffed with a cloth scarf, but his hands and feet were also bound. Each of the 360 ​​lines has its own skills, and playing the board is no exception.

Some boards are light on the outside and heavy on the inside. When practicing, a thick stone slab is wrapped with clothes. It is required that after the beating, the clothes are not damaged, but the stone slab inside has to be crushed into rubble.It only takes twenty blows, and the pelvis and even the internal organs of the beaten person will be broken, but the appearance is only red and swollen.

There are also some who are heavy on the outside and light on the inside. When practicing, they wrap a stack of papers with clothes. After beating, the clothes are tattered, but the paper inside is unscathed.

Liang Jiugong saw that the eunuch was slapping the board fast and hard, and estimated that the child would die tonight: "Isn't this child sent by the emperor to serve pens and inks in Wuyi Hall? Who offended? "

Liang Jiugong guessed that he had offended the prince, and he knew that he was notorious for beating people, but the result was unexpected: "Elder-in-law, that little short-lived ghost poured a cup of tea into the hand of the eighth master. I passed out from the pain, and the eldest son of the emperor was so angry that he uttered a word on the spot and beat him to death!"

Liang Jiugong nodded his head slowly, supported the servant's shoulders and turned around to look for the elder brother. No matter what, he had to ask himself a crime, a negligence in employment is always to be admitted!I secretly vowed in my heart that I would act more and more respectfully in the future.

Yinhu caressed his hand, and thanked his elder brother timidly for his care, but he knew in his heart that he was actually causing trouble for him. Then Wei Zhu is the haha ​​pearl by Huang Ama's side, how can he move it easily?Originally, he wanted Huang Ama to deal with it, but in the end, the elder brother felt sorry for him, so he punished him on the spot. In the future, he will eventually lose his tongue. Well, let's take it one step at a time!

The elder brother looked at his younger brother's arm wrapped like a bun, and he was very angry. A clumsy rice bucket would make mistakes in delivering a cup of tea!Yinhu hurriedly shifted his mind: "Brother, how do you deal with the eyes and ears that the crown prince has placed in your village?"

The eldest elder brother carefully put his younger brother's hand on the pillow, and said in a low voice: "How to deal with it? Put it with the lamas sent by the third brother who know how to raise horses. Anyway, I am just trying to grow wheat, come and go All of them are aboveboard, these people are full of tricky minds, let them play with their minds!"

Yinhu didn't expect this method, so he chuckled and said, "Brother, you've learned badly too!" The eldest brother raised his head, and said with a haughty face, "Maybe they have a heart? This time your hands can't handle it." Well, they play ghosts, if I don’t take precautions, some demon moths will come out in the future.”

He sighed again: "Little Ba, after all, it's my elder brother who has no ability to protect you. Don't worry, I will definitely stand in front of you if there is any elder brother in the future!" Hearing these words, Yinhu's heart became sore, and his eyes were sour. Tears welled up, and he felt more and more ashamed of hiding his own secrets, but he refused to say: "Brother, don't worry, I will always grow up, how can their methods be effective for a lifetime?"

While the two were talking, the waiter had already called fourth master, ninth master, and tenth master to come over. Yinhu turned over and was about to go down to the ground to greet her, but was held down by the elder brother: "What are you moving about? It looks dizzy suddenly , just woke up, lying down!"

Then he turned around and shouted outside: "It's all my brothers, get out here by yourself, no one will pick up your boss!" Xiao Jiu was the first to rush in: "Brother, you are so anxious about me, Xiao Shi and I Invite the two doctors from the imperial uncle's mansion, and show them quickly!"

Yinhu raised his head, and sure enough those two people came in behind, saw him, and immediately knelt down to pay his respects, Xiao Shi over there had already started to bluff: "Stop talking nonsense, show my starling, what do you want?" Just use the medicine!"

Then Xiao Jiu stepped forward to remove the gauze from Yinhu's hand, and the fourth elder brother hurriedly held him back: "Xiao Jiu, let the doctor come, don't hurt your starling with your hands and feet." Xiao Jiu glared at him, and obediently moved aside , Let Ye Tianshi dismantle it.

Yinhu knew that his injury was fake, so how dare he show it to Ye Tianshi, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "What's wrong with it, it's just a burn, it doesn't hurt anymore!" "Why not, you fainted from the pain, what else can you do?" He grabbed Yinhu's shoulder and pulled Ye Tianshi to the bed to have a look.

Ye Tianshi carefully removed the gauze, his plain white hand was red and swollen a lot, some places had festered, it was indeed a burn, picked up the gauze and smelled it was a good medicine, then looked at the eighth prince's hand, this How can the injury not pass out!I just feel that the prince is delicate and fleshy, and the fourth elder brother next to him felt very distressed when he saw the injury on his younger brother's hand, and saw that the doctor hadn't spoken for a long time, and he was impatient: "What is the situation, okay? Drag him out and beat him up."

Ye Tianshi hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Xue Shengbai, who was next to him, rushed ahead of him and said, "If you go back to Master, Ba Ye's injury is really serious, as long as you take care of it carefully, there will be no scars left. I will compare it with the villain's prescription." Sure!" The elder brothers were very happy to hear this, and asked the servants to take the two doctors outside to write the prescription.

Ye Tianshi didn't dare to say anything, just stared at Xue Shengbai, watching him calmly pile up Shenling Baishu, and finally saw Shengji Yuhong ointment, he couldn't help but whispered: "Shengji Yuhong ointment is for burns, What are you using indiscriminately!" Xue Shengbai kept writing without making a sound, but Ye Tianshi could only stare blankly.

Suddenly Xue Shengbai raised his head and asked: "Little Yezi, you have been in the capital for a year, do you want to go home?"

Ye Tianshi was not used to serving high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and he was already very worried about making those beauty-enhancing medicines for the harem ladies every day. At this moment, his heart moved: "Do you have a solution?"

Xue Shengbai smiled: "Shanren has his own tricks, but how can you thank me?"

Ye Tianshi smiled: "Why should I thank you, anyway, we are all together, there is no reason to let you go and leave me alone!"

Xue Shengbai also liked him like this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and then asked the servant to go in and say he wanted to see Ba ​​Ye's injury again, and Ye Tianshi followed him in.

"Ba Ye, although your injury is flesh and blood, but the root is still inside, otherwise you won't faint, can I ask for a pulse?"

Before the others moved, the elder brother grabbed the younger brother's hand and sent it out. The fourth elder brother sat leaning on the chair and watched, and the younger nine and the younger eleven watched in panic.

Xue Shengbai took his pulse carefully: "Baye, you probably don't eat properly on weekdays, and your spleen doesn't store blood. You should know that burns are minor, but if you don't have enough blood, the injury will be very serious!" Hu smiled and asked, "Then how can I make up for it?"

"It's too hot to use Ginseng Guipi Pills. It's better to use Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, which are very suitable for monarchs and ministers to assist!"

Yinhu looked at him, and said slowly: "I don't like that taste, let's eat something else!"

The elder brother next to him was already in a hurry: "What are you talking about, and the medicine is also taken indiscriminately? He can take whatever he says!"

Yinhu lowered his head and remained silent, and after a while he raised his head and said, "It's fine, but if it's not good in the future, I still have to change the medicine."

Xue Shengbai hurriedly said: "Naturally, as a doctor, he naturally has a parental heart, so he is looking forward to your well-being!"

After leaving the palace, the carriage was rickety, Ye Tianshi finally couldn't help it: "Do you think he understands what you mean?"

Xue Shengbai half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "He? Who is he?"

Ye Tianshi got angry for a while, and stomped on his foot: "We have been out for a year, and I am so homesick! Don't play tricks with me on this matter, tell me the truth, will it work?"

Xue Shengbai opened his eyes: "Do you really think he is a fool? Don't you understand that these days, it is the palace, and many things are not as they seem! Is he really dizzy? Can he faint from that kind of injury? Boiling water can make people red and swollen at most, don’t you see those ulcers? It’s quicklime! Who dares to put that thing in brother’s tea?”

Ye Tianshi was shocked: "Why did he do this?"

Xue Shengbai leaned on the back of the car again, and said lightly, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. I only know that Angelica is the main ingredient in the Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, and Anxi is the supplement. I lied for him today, so he naturally knows it." Yes! But don’t be too happy too early, people said, you have to come back if the situation changes! Let’s go and see, it seems that he is not someone who cannot be discussed, let’s listen more, do more and talk less!”

After seeing off the brothers, Yinhu was happy alone under the lamp, and finally did something for the brothers. He did not forget that Huang Ama later favored Wei Zhu and let him pass on everything. People, Xiaojiu had already fallen out of favor at that time, for his own safety, he asked his own son Hongzhang to call Wei Zhu his uncle, so that he could speak well of him in front of Huang Ama.And that Wei Zhu was just as calm as ever, Xiao Jiu was willing to bear the humiliation, but how could he see his brother being humiliated?

It's just that later Wei Zhu took advantage of his fourth elder brother's support to ask for Tuancheng as a fief, and went to enjoy the blessings far away.

Now that this person is acting as eyes and ears for the prince, when will this trouble go away?Could it be that the members of Aixinjueluo's family still want to call an eunuch brother or brother?

Hmph, even if there is Wei Zhu to take the ride, it is really a good name if you can't buy it for a fleeting time!Yinhu touched his right hand, it was just a cup of hot tea, but he had already wiped quicklime on his hand, and bumped it with his hand when he saw the opportunity. Helping Xiaojiu and protecting his eldest nephew in the future, Yinhu felt no pain at all, what's so painful?

He also knew that he showed his feet in front of people today, so what?Since the great doctor Xue opened his eyes for him, is there a loss of energy and blood?What an excuse!Looking at the moonlight leaking in through the window, Yinhu smiled and fell asleep.
