Brother Donggong

After Lao Cui went out, the house was very quiet.

But there is not even a trace of tranquility, just like a river, the surface of the water is frozen, but it can't cover the dangerous and rushing water below.

Then came Wen Zhan's voice, "Serve His Highness the Seventh Highness to eat, and stay here tonight."

"Yes."

The straight green voice then slowly faded away.

Silent.

Suddenly, the quilt I was clutching tightly in my hand was pulled away by a sharp force, as if someone was using a knife to slice open my curled up potato, my shoulders were grabbed and pulled, and my whole body was turned over.

"I don't even know, when did you add this problem?"

Harsh words, but the speaker's voice contained pain.

"open."

He tore away the quilt that I was pulling desperately, threw it on the bed, and then put me into his arms, I couldn't see him, his palm clasped the back of my head, and hugged him neck to neck.

"Hold me when you feel sad."

"...just hold me."

He is different from the quilt, not soft at all, his whole body is hard and hot, it seems that he can be burned by him through his embroidered robe.My palms clenched his clothes tightly, and I twisted them vigorously until my fingers were sore and I couldn't hold anything.

We fell on the bed, with him on top of us, it was very heavy, it seemed to be the weight of our whole life.

I wanted to open my eyes, but felt pain like being pricked by needles, as if I had been crying for a long time and could no longer open them.I raised my hand to rub my eyes, but he pushed his hand away, and then kissed me lightly, pecking at my closed eyes like a bird.

We stayed like this for one night in silence.

Before dawn, Wen Zhan called Lin Ruoqian over, boiled some concoction for me, wrapped it in a cloth towel and covered my eyes, and then he returned to the palace.He put the zither in the small courtyard, the cucumber was also left behind, and there were a few Tiqi guards who changed into commoner clothes.

As soon as Lao Cui saw that there was someone he could command, he hurriedly sent someone to He Ma's in-law's house and the mute's mother's house, saying that they would be given a big holiday, and that they would not have to come to help for the next ten days.Cui Bicheng made a calculation in the house, and took away the wages and food expenses of Mama He and the mute for the past few days, and there was just five renminbi left over, so I could buy a few more catties of cooked beef, sauced elbows and roast duck, um, a lot It doesn't matter if you drink a few catties of rice wine.

Seeing his appearance, Cucumber quickly offered the 50 taels of silver in his purse with both hands. Cui Bicheng nodded in relief and said, "After noon, I will remember to add more slices of cooked beef for you."

Yuezheng followed me like a little bean on a rice cake.

But in the morning, when Wen Zhan hugged him, he leaned into my ear and whispered, "Brother Yi, when Brother Six left, he said he made you angry again."

The handsome little fat duck then put his arms around my neck, "Don't be afraid, Brother Yi, I will help you beat Brother Six tonight to vent your anger!"

I hugged him and said nothing.

When I was lying on the bed applying medicine, he nestled next to me, holding a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" in his hand, shaking his head and reciting, "Zi said: You can't get tired of fine food, you can't get tired of fine meat, and you can only drink without limit..."

I closed my eyes and listened to his reading, and suddenly felt something was wrong, so I asked, "What is this?"

Yuezheng said, "Brother Cui said that Confucius is a sage."

I nodded, and said in my heart, Confucius is also a sage, needless to say by Lao Cui.

"Brother Cui also said that what the sages say is the golden rule, so if you do what the sages say, you can be a sage. And Brother Cui also said that these words are the sages in the words of the sages. By the way, and, Brother Cui Tell me, the "Book of Rites" records a sentence that Confucius said, which is also a good saying, saying, "Eat and drink men and women, and people's great desires exist." I know this diet, so what is the desire of men and women?"

I cursed in my heart, Old Cui is really deadly!

He failed to teach the zither!

I tore off the cloth scarf from my eyes, followed Wen Zhan's example, and went to the yard with a zither to find Cui Bicheng's theory, only to see him making syrup outside.

In fact, he doesn't like children, especially Yuezheng, but when he wants to please someone, he will do it to the extreme.He deliberately made candy cubes from the peeled peanuts with boiled syrup, and smashed them into pieces for him to grind his teeth.

Yuezheng was very happy to be coaxed by him, and I was too embarrassed to ask him why men and women mattered. The man with great desire said Shiyun.

"Your Highness, is the peanut candy delicious?"

Cui Bicheng sat on the rattan chair and asked with a smile. Yuezheng heard it, looked at him, then at me, and nodded.

"Peanut candy is delicious, but your brother Yi doesn't like it, what should we do?"

Yuezheng also seemed to be in a difficult situation. He held the candy and tilted his head to look at Cui Bicheng.

Old Cui Yile, "Seventh Highness, can I invite Brother Yi to eat roast beef tendon, drunk three delicacies, white fish soup and Pingqiao tofu?"

Yuezheng thought about it carefully, "These are seasonal dishes, and the cooks in the palace can't cook them."

Cui Bicheng, "It doesn't matter, you can't do it in the palace, but you can do it in restaurants outside! Yongjing Xizixuan can do it." Then he turned to Cucumber and said, "Eunuch Huang, let's go."

"This..." Cucumber hurried over with a smile, "Master Cousin, the food in the palace will be delivered in a while, you can take a look first, if it doesn't suit your taste, then let's talk, okay?"

"Forget it, don't look at it at all, it's definitely not going to work. Besides, this Xizixuan is in Xicheng, and it takes half an hour to come and go. If you go late to catch a meal, you will definitely not be able to get these dishes within half an hour. I'm fine, Chengyi hasn't eaten anything since yesterday, look, this...it's not good for him to be so hungry all the time."

"Go, I'll go right away!"

Cucumber jumped up and rushed out.

I looked at Old Cui, "What the hell are you doing?"

Cui Bicheng didn't take it seriously, "Your Highness Seventh, brother Yi is thirsty, can I ask you to bring out the tea in the room?"

Yuezheng looked at him and me again, nodded, took the candy and left.

Cui Bicheng, "I'm helping him, I don't want to involve him again, here, see for yourself."

As he said that, he handed me an invitation ticket, which was well written, and said that he would invite me to attend an opera in Xian Pavilion in seven days.When I saw the three words on the signature, I was stunned - Yin Wangchuan.

Kunlun Yin Wangchuan? !

Such a famous name is simply thunderous.

but……

I scratched my hair, do I know this guy?

Old Cui said, "It was sent by Tang Xiaoxie from Kunlun. He said, you owe this great man surnamed Yin."

Me, "No way, when did I recognize this butcher?"

After a hearty meal at noon, Cucumber came over carrying a big food box, and the food in the palace was also delivered.It was delivered by Luzhi himself, followed by the food, and a slip of silk paper placed in the silver tube.

The charming and handsome font, the calligraphy that is considered sacred by the current masters of calligraphy and painting, just wrote a few meaningless words, 'what do you want to eat at night'?

After eating full at noon, Yuezheng was carried over to take his little nap. Cui Bicheng continued to peel peanuts in the house, and after finishing the cucumbers, he put them in a food box and handed them to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi, etc. Let me write a receipt to the prince.

--what's for dinner?

What I hate the most is thinking about things and making decisions, and writing out these menus. I bit my brush and asked Lvzhi, "Is the prince coming?"

"Ah."

Green nodded.

Cucumber scratched his hair and said, "The Jiangnan cuisine at noon is a bit sweet. Let's eat Bashu cuisine at night. It's spicy and delicious, and the prince likes it too."

I wrote on the silk paper, "stir-fried bitter gourd with chili, fried bitter gourd with beef, stir-fried bitter gourd, cold salad with bitter gourd."

Then he handed it to Lu Zhi, who didn't say anything, just rolled it up carefully, and went out with his food box.Cucumber scratched his hair again, "My lord...the thing His Royal Highness hates to eat is bitter melon..."

"wrong!"

I shook my finger at him, "I'm not a prince, but a commoner."

"Then what do you call the servant?"

"Call the name."

"Yo, that servant doesn't dare. This is too short a lifespan, and this servant still wants to live to be 80 or [-] years old in peace!"

"Well, you are close to Chuchu, and you are his second cousin, so I will call you second cousin too."

"...Chuchu, who is this? I don't know this servant."

"It's Chu Qiangsheng!"

"Oh my god, who is married to him! That living hell king! I don't want you to be a second cousin, Wang... Well, you can think of another address. Or you can call him young master, anyway, Mr. Cui's young cousin. The title of the servant is quite easy to pronounce."

I tilted my head, "Chengyi's name is a bit more difficult for you. Or, change your life, I also have a nickname Jinbao, which is not bad, and you, when you were young Did your mother give you any baby name?"

Cucumber lowered his head and twisted his sleeves with two fingers. I touched him, "What's wrong, no? Can't remember?"

"No..." He shook his head again, then raised his face, his eyes were a little foggy.

"Uh, it's okay, forget it if you don't have one, I'll call you Cucumber, and I've been calling you Cucumber for half my life anyway."

"The maidservant has another nickname,...called...called..." He took a deep breath, and suddenly sobbed, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,...called...to...call...'" He took a deep breath, called Yuzhu!"

Then he rushed over, covered his face with my sleeve, and continued howling.

I was quite embarrassed by his crying, so I sighed and said, "Hey, it's really bad, I just want what I want. But, doesn't this jade pillar mean the same thing as a cucumber? Hey, you Liangpo people like it anyway. Such a name? Same as Chuchu.

It seems that your mother and I are quite destined... Forget it, let's call you Cucumber, okay, okay, don't cry..."

Wow! ...
