Qing Dynasty Chronicle

The winter of 47 is destined to continue the uneasy situation that has been incomprehensible since this summer.First, the case of Prince Nightmare in Yinyi Township was concluded, and Kangxi cursed his younger brother to remove him from the prince because of his misconduct, imprisoned him in the mansion, and withdrew his subordinate leader. Zhen.Later, people continued to protect Yinreng. Kangxi only said that Yinreng's madness improved, and if he turned to be good, I have my own judgment.In the middle of the last November, Kangxi summoned ministers and asked everyone to recommend the candidate for the crown prince, but it turned out that Yinhu was recommended by everyone. Kangxi was displeased, but he didn't reveal it, so he just pressed the matter down for further discussion...

Of course, the turmoil in the court has no effect on Yinfeng and Yinzhen today. Yinzhen didn't know that the old man gave him all the things that had been taken from Yinfeng when he was not around, and Yinfeng didn't know that the court Someone in the middle of the house protected him, and the two of them just spent their recuperating days in the other courtyard wholeheartedly without hearing anything outside the window.

Yinzhen feels that Yinreng's mentality is better adjusted. He raises flowers, walks birds, feeds fish, reads books and practice calligraphy. Zhen looked at Yinfeng's joyful appearance and laughed at him for living the "retired life of a veteran official in the court".

After living with Yinzhen for so many days, Yinreng also knows some new words under the subtle influence. Now Yinreng is not angry when Yinzhen teases him like this. Not far away, Yinzhen, who was teasing the bird in the cage, said, "I am living a retired life, but what is the matter with the fourteenth brother going to the kitchen every now and then? People say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. Could it be that the fourteenth brother will not do it in the future?" To be a gentleman is to become a cook?"

Yinzhen ignored Yinreng's teasing, just shook his head and said, "My son once said that food is the most important thing for the people. I am a glutton, and I want all the flavors in the world, and now I am committed to becoming a foodie. Master. This eater, you must not only know how to eat, but also know how to cook. Life is only a few decades, so how can you not hurry up!" Yinzhen glanced at Yinreng as he spoke, and then turned his attention Put it on the little bird, shook his head and said, "The road is long and long, I will search up and down."

Yinreng shook his shoulders amused by Yinzhen's amused smile, put the small shovel aside, clapped his hands and walked up to Yinzhen, "Dare to ask the fourteenth master, today is the winter solstice, as a 'prospective eater', Any plans?"

Yinzhen put his hands on Yinreng's shoulders, raised his eyebrows and said, "My lord, do you need to think too much about it? It must be eating dumplings!" He pinched Yinreng's earlobes casually, " Otherwise, you don't want your ears?"

"Yes, why not. But, why are your hands so cold?" Yinreng raised his hand to free his ears from Yinzhen's hands, muttered, then wrapped Yinzhen's hands in his hands and rubbed them together, Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if we eat dumplings, how about Master Fourteen showing his skills today? Let ordinary people like us try it too?"

Yinreng's hands were dry and warm, Yinzhen squinted his eyes and let Yinreng warm up his hands, then pulled out and patted Yinreng's shoulder, "Since you are my fanatic fan, then I will reluctantly satisfy you Make this little wish of yours."

"What meal?" Yinfeng didn't understand this super-age word for a while, and was a little dazed, but when he raised his head, he realized that Yinzhen had walked away with his hands behind his back, looking at his pretending to be a fool, Yinfeng smiled helplessly and followed.

"Let me tell you, this dumpling skin can't be rolled like this. After rolling it with such great strength, are you going to make dumpling skin or handmade skin?" A piece of skin on the chopping board, helpless, put down the things in his hands, and walked over to give technical guidance.

It's a pity that after the technical guidance, Yinfeng still rolled a stick to the end, and rolled a few pieces alive into thin and wide noodles.Yinreng looked at the piles of dumpling wrappers rolled out in Yinzhen's hand and looked at his own dough that was sticky enough to be torn off on the chopping board. things, such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or horseback riding and archery to practice Kubu, or handling government affairs, which one is not praised and praised, but, facing this soft lump of dough, Yinfeng is really Eighteen kinds of martial arts have been used, but it is still the same, so that the audience can't get on the stage and can't be a teacher.

Yinzhen fooled Yinreng to make dumplings just for fun, now seeing the decathlon-like former prince showing such a frustrated expression, he still couldn't bear it, so he nudged Yinreng lightly with his elbow Reng, "Why don't the second brother go to the side and rest, I'll do it."

Once upon a time when Yinreng was asked to leave because he couldn't do it, when he was stubborn for a while, he didn't make a sound, but started rolling the dumpling wrappers silently.

Seeing Yinreng's twisted appearance, Yinzhen stopped talking about chasing people, and just stood beside Yinreng to demonstrate to him, "Look at me, like this, holding the dough in one hand and the rolling pin in the other, and slowly Land, let the dough slowly turn under the rolling pin in a circular motion, yes, that's it, with moderate strength and moderate speed..."

In the end, Yin Zhen had to admire Yin Reng's tenacity and learning ability. Although a lot of dough was wasted, the dumpling skins rolled out later were decent.

Yinzhen bumped into Yinreng with his hand again, "Hey, I can't see it, the second brother's ability is awesome!"

Yinreng, who is usually steady, couldn't help raising his eyebrows at this time, "It's so-so."

Yinzhen was dissatisfied, "Hey hey hey, excessive modesty is pride in disguise, can we be honest?"

"I'm telling the truth." Yinfeng looked very innocent, "Master Fourteen can't deny that I'm really good at studying, right? My ability is still better than yours."

"Who said, I'm almost as good as you!" Yinzhen poked his neck and said.

"Oh?" Yinfeng's expression was very subtle, "But who has never won a game of chess with me?"

Yinzhen shrank, "I'm not interested in that."

Yinfeng made another big killer move, "But you never won the backgammon you played after chasing me."

"..." Yinzhen looked at Yinreng sadly, then turned around and continued rolling the dumpling wrappers silently without speaking.

Seeing Yinzhen's slumped head, Yinreng laughed inwardly, stepped forward and put his arms around his waist, and whispered to his ear, "Is the fourteenth brother angry?"

The waist is Yinzhen's sensitive point. As soon as Yinreng's hand was lifted up, he trembled, and goose bumps all over his body, and the heat sprayed on his ears and face made Yinzhen's ears and cheeks flushed .Yinzhen had a weird intuition, so he dodged to the side uncomfortably, and stammered, "I, I'm not angry! Is the young master such a stingy person?"

"Hey, well, our fourteenth master is the most generous person." Yinfeng let go of his hand and took a step aside, then asked with a smile, "Dare to ask the fourteenth master, when can we give it to you?" How about dumpling stuffing in the pot? My stomach is growling a little."

Seeing that Yinfeng's face was as usual, Yinzhen felt that he might be a little too sensitive, so he settled down and said, "Just finish rolling these doughs."

Yinfeng heard the words and started rolling the dumpling wrappers together with Yinzhen.

The stuffing has been adjusted before, and some of the three delicacies mutton and vegetarian stuffing are adjusted separately, and the wrapping is very fast. When the water is boiled and put into the pot, after several ups and downs, the chubby dumplings are cooked.

The two of them dipped in Yinzhen's special sauce and cleaned up the dumplings, eating their stomachs like the round dumplings.

After eating and drinking enough, Yinzhen, who wanted to stay still, was pulled up by Yinreng for a walk, but the weather was so good, and the warm sun shone on his body, Yinzhen began to cover his mouth and yawn.

Yinreng, who was walking side by side with Yinzhen, looked at the tears in the corners of Yinzhen's eyes because of yawning, smiled and stretched out his fingers to wipe them away, "Sleepy?"

Yinzhen felt a little dizzy when he was sleepy, and looked at Yinreng smiling gently at himself through the hazy eyes of tears, so he nodded blankly, with a nasal voice in his tone, "Well, the dumplings that have been made for so long Well, I want to sleep now."

Seeing that it took so long, Yinreng nodded and said, "Sure, then I'll take you back to your room to sleep."

Yinzhen looked up at the warm sun, and held Yinreng who wanted to turn around, "I want to sleep in the yard."

"Huh?" Yinfeng didn't react for a while.

"The sun is so good." Yinzhen endured sleepiness and gestured, and explained, "Put a recliner in our yard and cover it with a blanket to bask in the sun, not to mention how comfortable it is."

Yinfeng shook his head and said, "That can't be done, today is the winter solstice, what should I do if I catch a cold? Let's go back to sleep."

When Yinzhen was sleepy, not only did he feel dizzy, but his IQ also plummeted. He pulled Yinreng's sleeve and began to moan, "No way, look, there's no wind today, so I'm sure I won't catch a cold. Let me squint in the yard for a while, please, second brother..."

Yinreng dislikes the way Yinzhen's wet eyes look at him pitifully. Yinreng, who has always been a strict father to his son, has completely become a "soft-hearted, unprincipled, unconditional" here. President of the Concession Association', hesitated for a while, then sighed, "Then we can agree, if the wind blows, we can enter the house."

"Of course!" Yinzhen nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "I listen to my second brother."

Yinfeng almost choked when he heard this, "I listened to you, right?"

Yinzhen didn't speak, but only showed a successful little fox smile.

When Yinzhen was brought back to the yard by Yinreng, he couldn't keep his eyes open. Yinreng let Yinzhen doze off on his own, and at the same time ordered his servants to move out the rocking chair with the leather mattress, and then moved Yinzhen Zhen was placed on the rocking chair, and he was covered tightly with three layers of blankets, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yinzhen hid his face as big as a palm in the blanket, obviously extremely sleepy, but still stretched out his hand to grab Yinfeng's sleeve, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Yinreng put Yinzhen's hand back into the blanket with his backhand, patted him and said, "Second brother doesn't go anywhere, just sits next to you and reads a book."

When Yinzhen heard it, he was honest, closed his eyes and fell asleep after oh.

Yinreng looked at Yinzhen sleeping peacefully like an unsuspecting little animal, with a smile on his face involuntarily, shook his head and sat down on the rocking chair beside Yinzhen, picked up a book Look it up.

Yinzhen woke up once during the period, Yinreng thought he was going to get up, but in the end he lay still in the blanket, muttering some unnutritious words to Yinreng.

"Second brother, tell me, in this world, which animal is the easiest to wrestle?"

"Hmm... I don't know, what is it?"

"Hey, it's a fox!"

"?why?"

"Because the fox's feet are slippery!"

"..."

"Second brother, let me ask you again, who is the mother of Mi ita?"

"Uh... rice seedlings?"

"wrong."

"what is that."

"It's a flower!"

"Why is this again?"

"Because of 'peanuts' ah, wow quack quack quack..."

"..."

Yinreng was dumbfounded by Yinzhen's series of questions that were obviously irrational, and the more he thought about it, the more funny he felt. Before Yinreng could finish laughing, Yinzhen fell asleep after tossing for a while.

Yinreng looked at the blanket that was leaking everywhere by Yinzhen, smiled and shook his head, got up and tucked him in again.Because he was afraid of waking Yinzhen up, he moved very lightly, and Yinreng felt a little hot after confirming that there was no seam to let in the wind.

Just about to pick up the book and sit back on the recliner to continue reading, the gate of the yard over there creaked and was pushed open, Yin Reng frowned, first checked to see if Yin Zhen was woken up, and then looked up at the person who came, this As soon as he raised his head, Yinreng was stunned for a moment, then put the book aside, stood up and said respectfully, "Khan Ama."
