Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

Yinzhen's idea is very simple.

First sort out Nalan Xingde's daily communication status, get rid of the chattering Nalan Pearl, and then get rid of his colleagues who have a flat and indifferent relationship, and then... there will be no one.

That's right, there is no one left.

The four elder brothers looked at each other in blank dismay, they really couldn't figure out how little communication Nalan's guards had.

The elder brother Yinti was even more shocked.

He and Nalan Xingde are both nephew and master-student relationship, but he never knew the other side of Nalan Xingde that he never showed to himself. For a moment, all kinds of tastes lingered on the tip of his tongue, and the whole person stood there stiffly. stone.

On the contrary, Cao Yin, who had some friendship with Nalan Xingde, had to explain it.It turns out that although Nalan Xingde is the eldest son of Mingzhu, he doesn't like official contacts very much.

He usually prefers to communicate with Qing literati, and most of these people are unofficial civilians, so naturally they cannot travel together.After going out with the emperor, Nalan Xingde not only spoke in front of the emperor, but also had a few words with his father Nalan Mingzhu, and only Cao Yin talked the most.And Cao Yin followed Yinzhen to take care of a few younger elder brothers, and the chances of being able to speak were few and far between...

Cao Yin touched his nose.

He smiled helplessly: "The slave also introduced many colleagues to Brother Rong Ruo, but...Rong Ruo prefers to drink with the soldiers."

On weekdays, it can be said that Nalan's guards are interested in poetry, and they are all commoners, so what does it mean that Nalan Xingde would rather drink with the soldiers than socialize with his colleagues during the long journey?Eldest brother Yinti's shoulders slumped, and his whole body was limp: "I don't even know, I don't even know..."

Yinzhen hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Yinti who was shrouded in gloom: "Brother, who would have thought of this? But let's talk about it later, let's find a way to cheer Nalan's guards up."

What is the reason for him to be like this?

Yinzhen turned to look at Cao Yin: "Does Guard Cao know?"

Cao Yin was silent for a moment.

Soon he gave a vague answer: "Probably brother Rong Ruo's wife."

No matter how much Cao Yin is willing to say.

As a friend talking about a friend's wife behind his back, this is not what a gentleman does.Yinzhen and the three brothers looked at each other, pestered Concubine Tong to Concubine Rong and then Concubine De, the three of them were entangled by several elder brothers, they searched everywhere and finally found Borziji, the wife of Fu Lehe, the Duke of Zhen. Teshi learned a thing or two from his mouth.

Nalan Xingde's marriage is not very happy.

After the death of his concubine wife Lu Shi, who was in love with him, Nalan Xingde's alcoholism became more and more serious day by day. There are Qing guest literati.

Yi Ren has passed away, so it might not be possible to change into another one, right?

What's more important is that Yinzhen didn't find the deceased Lu Shi beside Nalan Xingde...

The four brothers met each other with sad faces.

Of course, he couldn't sit still until he came up with a solution. Yinzhen first discussed with Chang Yuyi for more than half an hour.

First of all, let Nalan Xingde improve his body.

The effect of drinking the medicinal soup for five days was obvious. Although his brows were still faintly gloomy, the paleness of the past had been replaced by a healthy luster.

Only the spirit looks bad.

Nalan Xingde sat quietly in the tent.His eyelids drooped slightly, motionless like a statue, his eyes had no focus.Careful observation could reveal that Nalan Xingde's fingers were twitching slightly, and cold sweat broke out on his palms and back.

This is what happens after quitting alcohol.

Yinzhen stopped talking with his brothers, and walked around Nalan Xingde with his hands behind his back: "Guard Nalan, do you want to drink now?"

Those empty eyes suddenly burst into light.

Obviously the word "wine" was the source of excitement, Yinzhen pouted and snapped his fingers, Su Peisheng came in from outside with a tray.On the tray was a dark green jug shaped like a flagon, and four small bowls.

Don't use Su Peisheng's hands.

The little eunuch with winking eyes immediately took the tray in his hand, and carefully placed the jars and white porcelain bowls on the table.Another young eunuch picked up the scissors and cut the rope, opened the lid, and a sweet and quiet wine fragrance slowly wafted out.

Nalan Xingde's nose twitched slightly.

His whole body was shaken, and a pair of blank eyes lit up with light, which landed on the jar in an instant.

The third elder brother Yinzhi and the fifth elder brother Yinqi were a little puzzled.

The fourth brother/fourth brother clearly said that he would help Nalan's bodyguard quit drinking, why did he still give him wine after only three days?Both of them were full of doubts, and Yin Qi couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Fourth brother... really let Nalan's guards drink?"

"It's not wine, it's dessert."

"...It clearly smells like alcohol."

"This is fermented glutinous rice, that is, sweet wine." Yinzhen explained with a smile.

The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother showed a question mark on their faces.

Yinzhen didn't explain, just smiled and directed the little eunuch to fill it out.

Yinzhi, Yinqi and Nalan Xingde walked to the table together.

What was put into the bowl was only fist-sized sweet wine, with clear liquid mixed in the middle, and the sweet and fragrant wine swirled around the tip of the noses of the three of them.Nalan Xingde, who had endured for three days but seemed to have endured for as long as three years, stared at the small bowl of sweet wine, and gently picked it up with trembling hands.

The glutinous rice soaked in the clear wine had become soft, Nalan Xingde picked up a small spoon and dug a spoon into his mouth gently.The fermented rice grains are soft and not greasy, but the taste seems to be a bit off due to the sweet and sour taste, and the sweetness is greater than the sourness, which seems a little heavy.

Nalan Xingde didn't mind.

He swallowed it in one gulp...then froze in place.

A figure appeared in Nalan Xingde's mind.

It was the deceased wife, Lu Shi. Lu Shi traveled with his father to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi. After returning to the capital, he also liked to eat delicacies from Jiangnan and other places.She doesn't drink well but likes to drink. She often brews rice wine in the yard by herself, and this sweet wine is one of the must-have snacks at home at that time.It's just that Lu's craftsmanship is not good, and more than half of the ten barrels made are either sour or too sweet.

It is obviously a sweet and sour taste.

Nalan Xingde felt that it was sour, and he swallowed the wine with a certain expression of sadness, which made the third elder brother Yinzhi and fifth elder brother Yinqi who were still complaining before opened their eyes wide in surprise. Looking at Nalan Xingde.

"Fourth brother, is Nalan's guard okay?"

"This wine is obviously sweet." The fifth elder brother Yin Qi slammed his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.

The third elder brother Yinzhi, who was still worried about Nalan's bodyguard, exploded.

He glared at the fifth younger brother in disbelief, his voice changed in shock: "Yinqi!? How dare you drink!?"

The fifth prince, Yinqi, drank gulp.

He wiped his mouth and tilted his head suspiciously: "The fourth brother said it was a dim sum duck."

Yinzhi glared at Yinzhen angrily: "This is obviously rice wine!"

Yinzhen took two sips of his sweet wine, and then looked at the third brother with an innocent face: "The rice wine is the one that is brewed directly. It is not rice wine after adding a lot of water, it is honey water."

Third elder brother Yinzhi: ... Ha ha!

He was just about to stop the two of them from drinking the sweet wine, but the elder brother Yinti whispered softly in his ear: "Shh—look at the front!"

Yinzhi quickly raised his head.

I saw Nalan Xingde burst into tears on the spot, eating the sweet wine bit by bit.

"What's the situation?"

"Alcohol addict?"

"How can this thing be considered wine? It's so sweet that your teeth will fall off!" The elder brother Yinti took a sip, and the sweet taste made him frown.Yinti's questioning eyes turned to Yinzhen: "What's going on?"

Yinzhen suppressed his voice to the softest, "Master Mingzhu said it."

No matter how Nalan Mingzhu expresses dissatisfaction with the eldest son, in fact, he regards the eldest son as his pride in his heart.After Yinzhen and Chang Yuyi took turns explaining the danger of Nalan Xingde's current state, he quickly said something about the past that he knew.

For example, Lu Shi grew up in various places from Guangdong to Jiangnan when he was young, or Lu Shi likes to drink but can't drink, so he can only make some rice wine to taste.Yinzhen briefly explained a few words, then smiled triumphantly: "Originally, Er Niang planned to make it by herself, but my younger brother thought that what Er Niang made was so delicious..."

The elder brother Yinti opened his eyes wide.

The third elder brother Yinzhi also opened his mouth wide, and both of them lowered their heads to look at the white porcelain bowl in their hands. How could they still look disgusted just now?They took a small sip, and then Yinti smiled and sighed: "The taste is smooth and delicate, and the flavor is excellent."

Yinzhi also nodded in agreement.

He said in detail: "The sweetness has a mellow and strong wine taste, and the glutinous rice tastes like cotton candy and melts in the mouth. It is really a top-grade delicacy."

Fifth elder brother Yinqi: ...

He squinted at the two of them, with a hint of disdain in his eyes - just now he thought that the sweet wine was not good or could not be drunk!

Yinti and Yinzhi simply pretended not to see it.

Yin Qi licked the remaining rice grains on the spoon, held the white porcelain bowl and put it on the table: "One more bowl!"

You kid is not doing well!

I really like to eat it!

The three of them did not show any weakness, they glared at each other angrily, which amused Yinzhen.

Yinzhen knows a lot about the sweet wines he makes.

Naturally, the taste is incomparable with that of Erniang or the imperial dining room, but why not the ones of the emperor's mother or the imperial dining room?Lu Shi is the daughter of Lu Xingzu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

Simply put, it doesn't taste good.

As a noble son of a wealthy family, I am afraid that even if Nalan's guards will eat the perfect sweet wine, Yinzhen finds a new way to make sweet wine himself, hoping that this slightly rough method can evoke Nalan Xingde's memory.

It turns out.

Yinzhen's idea was correct, the four brothers looked at Nalan Xingde and sobbed first, then the tears flowed down uncontrollably, and finally the tears flowed without image.

Instead of drinking to relieve your sorrow, it is better to have a hearty cry.The man did not flick his tears lightly, but because he hadn't reached the place where he was sad, Nalan Xingde burst into tears like rain, sobbing uncontrollably, he cried for more than half an hour before he stopped.

His eyes were swollen to the size of walnuts.

There is still a state of being like a banished fairy on weekdays, I am afraid that I will scare a group of people even if I go out.Nalan Xingde looked at the four elder brothers and Cao Yin in the room with some embarrassment, his whole face turned blue, white, red, and purple. He wanted to say in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, today—"

Halfway through speaking, Nalan Xingde realized that his voice was already hoarse, he twitched the corners of his mouth, blushed and stood there dumbfounded.

A smile flashed across the elder brother Yinti's eyes.

He coughed: "Don't worry, guard Nalan, God knows what happened today, you know me, cough cough, we know, we will never say anything about it."

Nalan Xingde: ...

Do you think the slave will believe it?

The matter of turning around was passed on to Kangxi.

Who made Kangxi the emperor, and if he wanted to hide it, he would have to honestly explain when Han Ama asked about Yinzhen.

A trace of complexity flashed in Kangxi's eyes.

In the past, there was the first emperor who lost his empress Xiaoxian and wanted to become a monk. Later, there was Prince Gong Changning who struggled for love and is still busy with reconstruction in the capital. Now Rong Ruo is here again.

He sighed in his heart, and after pondering for a moment: "What are you going to do next?"

"My son intends to take Nalan's guards to relax~"

"I think you want to go out to play by yourself?" Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen, but he didn't have the intention to stop - anyway, wouldn't bringing Yinzhen and his little ones out just to let them go quickly?He quickly responded: "Take more guards out, don't run too far."

Yinzhen simply said yes.

Of course, the elder brother Yinti didn't have to go out to play, and Kangxi, who was worried, even called Nalan Xingde and Cao Yin to give him advice.

This made Nalan Xingde stunned for a while.

He thought that the emperor would reprimand him for his alcoholism or obsession with women, but he never expected that the emperor would tell him to take care of his body and not get tired without mentioning it.

Don't get tired?

Having had a complete rest for the past few days, and with his mind refreshed after crying bitterly, Nalan Xingde felt that his physical condition was excellent?Facing the emperor's concern, although he had many doubts in his heart, he still responded with a gentle smile.

After two days, Nalan Xingde knew the meaning of it.

With Kangxi's promise, Yinzhen, the third elder brother Yinzhi and the fifth elder brother Yinqi became flying birds in an instant.

After greeting Khan Ama, Ukumamo, Huangmamo, Erniang and the concubines in the morning, Yinzhen and the others took Nalan Xingde and Cao Yin to the prairie.Go to the pond to catch fish, catch grasshoppers in the grass, run to the forest to catch cicadas, climb trees to pick fruits...

Just like Kangxi thought.

Ever since he took care of the three little elder brothers, Nalan Xingde didn't have the time to think about Lao Shizi's sad spring and autumn, so he wrote a poem praising the scenery of the prairie...not at all!He only felt his temples throbbing, and felt dizzy when he saw a few little elder brothers jumping up and down-if it was his own cub, he would have to pick up a stick and whip him.

Nalan Mingzhu was thinking about Nalan Xingde's affairs in her heart, and she was more or less absent-minded when doing things.Kangxi was also curious, so he took Mingzhu to see what happened to Nalan Xingde recently.

A group of people searched and went.

It took a full two cups of tea to arrive at a small camp, and Kangxi stopped abruptly after seeing Nalan Xingde's back from afar.

He rubbed his eyes.

Kangxi blinked hard, and asked hesitantly, "This is...Rong Ruo?"

Nalan Pearl was dumbfounded.

His voice was erratic: "Slave... Does this look like a slave?"

Kangxi: ...

Nalan Pearl: ...

They stared blankly ahead.

Nalan Xingde squatted in the sheep pen with his cuffs rolled up and his trousers rolled up... milking the goats?The three young brothers next to him were still shouting and cheering: "Come on, Rong Ruo!!!"

Like a banished fairy?

Hehe, at first glance, I thought it was a local herdsman!

Nalan Xingde shouted angrily: "Look at it, press and pinch it with the wood and index finger, slide it slowly from top to bottom to squeeze out the milk, remember to be light and quick, do you understand? —Then the third elder brother will come first."

He let go and carried his milk pail aside.

Nalan Xingde waved his hands and directed the three young elder brothers to step forward in turn, with a loud voice that even Kangxi and Nalan Mingzhu who were standing in the distance could hear clearly.

Nalan Mingzhu's face turned blue and red.

He stared at his son in disbelief, his brows were filled with shock, bewilderment and bewilderment.Kangxi's reaction was completely different from Mingzhu's. Seeing his sons queuing up to milk the goats in order, a faint idea before came to his mind again.

Kangxi looked at Nalan Mingzhu with a smile: "I think Rong Ruo has done a good job, what do you think?"

Nalan Pearl: ...

He covered his heart, and replied against his will: "Yes, it's really good."

Mingzhu looked at her son with hatred, it was heartbreaking!Others have made great achievements, but you have become a full-time babysitter and sheep raiser!Just as he secretly sighed, he heard an unbelievable sentence in his ear.

"I think Rong Ruo gets along well with the princes."

Kangxi rubbed his chin cheerfully: "After returning to the palace, let Rong Ruo go to the study room full-time to enlighten the young brothers."
