The fourth elder brother rested steadily for a whole month. Geng Yi was worried that he would not have to do errands and would become idle, and began to feel at a loss, not knowing what to do every day. She even worried that the fourth elder brother would become depressed because of this.
After all, a person who has never been too busy to touch the ground suddenly has nothing to do, and it is only natural that he can't find anything to do for a while. Can he not be depressed over time?
So Geng Yi first suggested that the fourth elder brother read books and write big characters, and she would sacrifice herself to accompany her to play a few games, anyway, just don't be too idle and just think wildly.
The fourth elder brother didn't understand Geng Yi's worried look at first, but after knowing it, he couldn't laugh or cry: "You, you are really worried, I don't want to be depressed when I have nothing to do."
He had been busy all this time and didn't feel it, but after he suddenly stopped to rest, he felt that his body was really a little tired.
No matter how young he was, he would go out to inspect by boat after he was as busy as a shaft, even the fourth elder brother would not be able to bear it.
After all, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking on the road, but you have to be tense when inspecting these four elder brothers. You must find problems at any time, and you must answer the emperor’s questions and school exams at any time.
That's why he followed Geng Yi's suggestion, avoided the prince's request by the way, and took a good rest in the mansion for a month.
This month, Geng Yi used the kitchen to change tricks to warm up the fourth elder brother.
Soup, water and water are indispensable, and I have also made a lot of nourishing medicinal meals. I ate well and had enough rest. One month later, the fourth elder brother looked rosy and a little fatter, not as thin as before, and the whole person was a little bit A red face.
When he went to court again, the officials were quite surprised to see the fourth elder brother like this.
The elder brother was even more surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help asking: "You don't have to do business this month, fourth brother, it seems that you are resting well in the mansion."
He thought that the fourth elder brother was sent home without any errands for a whole month, and everyone would be anxious and depressed, so why did he gain weight instead?
It should be said that the fourth elder brother has a big heart and a fat body. Didn't he feel flustered after being idle for a month as if he was rejected by the emperor?
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have indeed recuperated well this month, and Huang Ama is also sympathetic."
The eldest elder brother snorted coldly, who cares about him anymore, he is being sarcastic, didn't the fourth elder brother hear it?
Where the fourth elder brother couldn't hear it, he pretended not to hear it, and just refused to answer the call. What can the eldest brother do?
It was like hitting cotton with a fist, and Big Brother felt unhappy.
There was nothing special about the early court, except that the eighth elder brother was assigned another errand, which was to take Fei Yanggu and other ministers to test the riding and shooting of the clan's children.
It's obvious that the eighth elder brother's original errand was anticlimactic, and it was over.
As the fourth elder brother expected, the emperor didn't really care much about whether the eighth elder brother recovered the debt, but just gave the nobles an attitude and asked them to restrain themselves.
Now that the beating has been done, he will naturally pass by lightly.
But the emperor couldn't directly say that I don't want to owe money, so he asked the eighth elder brother to transfer to other errands.
The fourth elder brother was invited to the imperial study by Li Dequan after he came down to court. The emperor looked him up and down a few times before nodding his head and said: "That's right, it seems that the fourth elder brother is well-raised in the mansion."
This face is rosy, and the eyes are bright, can it be good?
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's also Huang Ama who is considerate, so that I can have a good rest."
The emperor nodded. Originally, he was worried that the fourth elder brother would not be able to stay if he had nothing to do in the mansion, and he would come out soon to find himself an errand or something.
If this was the case, it would be as if the emperor cared about him, and asking the fourth elder brother to go back to recuperate seemed like punishment, which would be unbeautiful.
Who knew that the fourth elder brother could really calm down and take a good rest, and was not in a hurry to run out, and now he is taking care of himself well.
The emperor was secretly satisfied. The fourth son's temperament was rare enough to be calm, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry.
Assessing the riding and shooting of the clan's children is a matter of time and time again. The fourth elder brother thought it was just going through the motions, but because Fei Yanggu was there this time, he paid more attention to it.
Then I found out that the emperor not only called the eighth elder brother, but later ordered the third elder brother to go together.
The fourteenth elder brother took advantage of Muxiu to go out of the palace, and took the thirteenth elder brother for a stroll to the Sibeile mansion, and mentioned the matter to the fourth elder brother: "I begged Huang Ama, and I went to see it specially. Shooting is sloppy, just one or two are still good, it is really not as good as every year."
The emperor also conducted the assessment the year before last. At that time, the elder brother was asked to go, and the fourteenth elder brother also went to watch.
The elder brother seemed to have known for a long time that the children of the clan were no different from ostentatious people, so he almost let it go. After the emperor found out about this, he severely reprimanded the elder brother, and he was not allowed to go this year.
The fourteenth elder brother came over suddenly, and said mysteriously: "Fourth brother, this year, there is a riding and archery among the clan's children, which is not bad, and he actually named him to compete with the third brother. Who do you think will win?"
The thirteenth elder brother replied beside him: "Then you still have to guess, it must be the third brother who won."
Even though the third elder brother looks like a frail scholar, but these elder brothers have been taught to ride and shoot by the most outstanding martial arts master since they were young. How could the clan's children be able to compare?
Elder Fourteen smiled and said, "Brother Thirteen is right, Third Brother won, and after this person conceded defeat, he thought Eighth Brother and Third Brother could give advice, but he didn't know who to ask for advice."
The thirteenth elder brother was not happy when he heard it: "What does this person mean, sowing discord?"
I want to ask the two elder brothers but I don't know who to ask. Isn't this letting the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother say who is the best?
It's not good just to say, the two of them have to compete to find out, is the son of the clan worthy?
Elder Fourteen laughed and said: "This person did it on purpose. He may think that the third elder brother who looks weak is better than him in riding and shooting, but he is definitely not as good as the eighth brother, so he made a bad plan. Of course, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother If you don’t have the same knowledge as him, this competition is impossible.”
He turned his head and asked, "Fourth Brother, I'm actually quite curious. If Third Brother and Mynah really compete, will Mynah win?"
The fourth elder brother smiled: "After a while, Huang Ama will go to the Mulan paddock as usual, won't you know then?"
The fourteenth elder brother stared wide-eyed, and said in disbelief: "Fourth brother will be tricky, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Hearing this, the fourth elder brother laughed and said: "Then don't sleep tonight, think slowly."
The fourteenth elder brother's eyes widened even wider, can the fourth elder brother actually make jokes?
But the fourth elder brother was determined not to say anything. When the fourteenth elder brother went back, he was scratching his heart and lungs with curiosity. The thirteenth elder brother saw him restless in the carriage like a monkey and said helplessly: "Which one is stronger, the third elder brother or the eighth elder brother?" , do you want to know that much?"
Elder Fourteen nodded and said, "Of course, but I think Starling will win, why don't we take a gamble?"
The thirteenth brother was also interested and said: "Okay, the fourteenth brother bet on the starling, then I will bet on the third brother to win."
The fourteenth brother laughed and said, "It looks like I'm winning, there must be a little bet. If the thirteenth brother wins, I'll give you my favorite bow."
The thirteenth elder brother was really surprised. After all, the fourteenth elder brother's favorite bow was given by the emperor. He was so precious that he was willing to use it as a bet?
"You don't need to use this, if you want the fourteenth brother to win, you can treat me to dinner, and if I win, I can treat you, how about it?"
The fourteenth elder brother was a little disappointed, thinking that the thirteenth elder brother would come up with something: "Okay, that's fine."
Seeing his lost look, Brother Thirteen laughed and said, "I don't have any good things to bet on. It's really not possible. If I lose, how about telling Brother Fourteen about homework?"
Fourteenth elder brother said angrily, "What's the difference between that and usual!"
After all, Brother Thirteen usually taught him to do his homework, otherwise his own homework would not be able to keep up!
The thirteenth elder brother is helpless, but the fourteenth elder brother is still confident?
The two waited for a few days, and the emperor finally announced that he would go to Chengde Mountain Resort with his concubines, brothers and ministers.
The empress dowager would not go together in previous years. Firstly, the palace could not be completely unattended. Secondly, the emperor went to the summer resort to deal with the government affairs in order to lead the officials to get closer to the Mongols. Thirdly, there was no empress dowager. The emperor can also be more comfortable without restraint.
But this year Wu Fujin has been by her side all the time, if the empress dowager doesn't go, Wu Fujin won't go either, but the fifth elder brother plans to follow the emperor to the summer resort, and the young couple will be separated.
Although their relationship still failed to ease, the empress dowager couldn't bear to break up the young couple, so it was rare for her to take the initiative to ask the emperor if they could go together this time.
Naturally, the emperor didn't respond, so he quickly asked people to pack their luggage and prepare everything. After all, the empress dowager used to live in the summer resort for at least three months.
In addition, in terms of the harem, the emperor left Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong to take charge.
The two of them were getting older, they didn't care much about sleeping, it didn't matter whether they went to the summer resort or not, it would be better to stay in the palace to preside over the palace affairs, so they happily agreed.
Seeing that Wu Fujin had packed up his luggage after returning from the palace, and that he was going to the Summer Resort with the empress dowager's motorcade, the fifth elder brother showed a complicated expression.
In the past, Wu Fujin tried his best to keep the fifth elder brother's eyes on him, but now he seems to let it go and try his best to please the empress dowager.
She used to do some needlework for the fifth elder brother, but she stopped doing it recently. She embroidered a belt and wiped the forehead for the empress dowager.
The gown is not easy to make. From now on, it will be ready by the end of the year. She can give it to the Empress Dowager as a New Year gift.
As for the Fifth Prince?Then Wu Fujin has no time and no hands.
You have to hurry up to do the ones for the empress dowager, so there is no time to do it for the fifth elder brother!
Anyway, there is no shortage of people in the backyard, and there should not be too many people making underwear for the fifth elder brother.
As long as the fifth elder brother doesn't tell the outside world, who knows that Wu Fujin hasn't done any sewing for him recently?
In the backyard, Wu Fujin gave a compliment to the Guerjia family of Fujin and left it alone.
After Guerjia was pregnant, the fifth elder brother would of course have to take pity on her. As soon as she stayed at night, Liu Jia sent a maid to say that she was not feeling well. Bai Gege also said that he was uncomfortable and asked the maid to invite him.
The fifth elder brother could only get up again to take a look. He was a little impatient at first, and felt that the two side Fujins were enough to compete for favor. Why did Bai Gege come to join in the fun?
Who would have thought that Bai Gege's face was indeed pale, and he kept yelling that his stomach was uncomfortable, so the fifth elder brother became nervous, it was not good to go to the palace at this time to ask for an imperial doctor, so he had to invite the doctor who made offerings to come over to have a look, and Bai Gege was actually pregnant too!
The fifth prince was overjoyed, and the backyard became even more lively for a while.
Today, when I went to Liu Jia's side, the fifth elder brother's buttocks were not hot yet, so the Guarjia family sent someone to invite him, and Bai Gege also sent someone over, and the fifth elder brother wanted to split himself into several petals to use.
Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, so the fifth elder brother secretly went to the palace to meet the empress dowager, and also wanted to go to the summer resort with his motorcade.
The empress dowager laughed and said, "There are two conceived in your backyard, so don't go to the Summer Resort with you this time."
The fifth elder brother became anxious when he heard it, how could this be possible!
"Grandmother, my grandson wants to go with you, otherwise I won't see you for several months."
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Otherwise Rong Ji will follow me, who will take care of your backyard?"
Rong Ji is Wu Fujin's name. If there were not two pregnant women in the backyard, the empress dowager would probably agree to Wu Fujin. Now she doesn't want Wu Fujin to stay and suffer.
The fifth elder brother concluded that he was going to the summer resort, and there were only two side Fujin and Gege left in the backyard.
Guarjia would definitely not accept that he was going to be handed over to Fang Fujin Liu Jiashi, and he couldn't rest assured that the two pregnant women in the backyard would be handed over to Liu Jiashi.
It stands to reason that there are two pregnant women in the backyard, so Wu Fujin should stay, but she can't find fault with serving by the empress dowager's side, so it's okay for the fifth elder brother to stay by himself?
The fifth elder brother had a headache, so he could only go back first. Seeing his appearance, the Empress Dowager smiled at Mammy Li next to her, "He said before that Rong Ji was dispensable in the mansion, but now he knows it's gone. It must be a headache for Rongji to help."
What Wu Fujin did in the mansion, the fifth elder brother naturally couldn't see it.
As long as she doesn't do anything, it will be very difficult for fifth elder brother to not see.
In the past, Wu Fujin helped to take care of it. Except for Liu Jiashi, the side Fujin who was favored in the backyard, no one else was confiscated, and they all lived well.
Because of her presence, other people in the backyard did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Now that Wu Fujin runs to the palace twice every three days, the mansion will follow the original practice, big mistakes are fine, and small things are ignored. In addition, two other people in the backyard are also pregnant, and Liu Jiashi is no longer the only one with children. People, this balance is broken.
If Wu Fujin didn't care, the fifth elder brother was about to burn out.
Mammy Li smiled and said nothing, knowing that the Empress Dowager had no intention of asking her to answer.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager murmured: "Why don't you persuade Xiao Wu to stay and let him see for himself what kind of bad atmosphere he brought to the backyard by only pampering Liu Jiashi before."
The fifth elder brother committed his own crimes, of course he has to clean up this mess by himself, the empress dowager is reluctant to let Wu Fujin take care of this!
Wu Fujin made needlework for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager wore them happily, and gave Wu Fujin a point for any delicious, fun, and useful things he got.
The two of them still had a lot to say. The empress dowager would tell Wu Fujin about the past in the grassland when he was a child, and Wu Fujin would also talk about the embarrassing things at home when he was a child.
They are a little older, but they have similar temperaments and get along very well, so Wu Fujin's Mongolian language has become better and better, and they don't stutter when they speak.
After all, the fifth elder brother was worried, and in the end he pleaded guilty to the emperor and did not go to the Summer Resort with him.
Wu Fujin felt more relaxed when he knew about it. He lived with the empress dowager, and then ran horses with the empress dowager. I don't know how comfortable he is.
The Summer Resort is not far from the Mulan paddock. After the emperor settled down, he took his ministers and elder brothers to go hunting.
This time, the fourth elder brother brought along Si Fujin and Geng Yi, as well as Niu Gulu Gege.
Geng Yi discovered that Niu Gulu Gege looked petite, but he was good at riding and shooting.
On the other hand, Geng Yi is much inferior. It can only be said that riding and shooting is normal. Although the body's reaction is good, it can only be regarded as mediocre among the many handsome Fujin and Gege.
However, horse racing is still a joy, and Geng Yi feels as free as the wind when the horse runs wildly against the wind.
Fourteenth elder brother followed to Mulan paddock, he was so happy.
After all, these little elder brothers haven't left the palace to build a mansion, so it's not easy to go out for a trip.
The emperor found that today's fourteenth elder brother was absent-minded. He would have run away as early as before with a bow and arrow. Today, he followed suit and looked at the third and eighth elder brothers with a tangled expression. He couldn't help being surprised: "Ten Si, what's the matter with you, do they have something growing on their faces?"
The fourteenth elder brother also said the bet with the thirteenth elder brother: "Huang Ama, my son is just curious about this one."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then let you see for yourself, third child, let's go!"
The third elder brother responded, kicked the horse's belly and ran away with the emperor. The fourteenth elder brother quickly patted the horse to keep up, and the thirteenth elder brother followed behind.
The fourth elder brother watched the two younger elder brothers running after him, and smiled in his heart, thinking that he might see the surprised expression of the fourteenth elder brother later.
The fourteenth elder brother turned his head and glanced at the eighth elder brother who was still there, wondering if the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother had a competition, why did the emperor only call the third elder brother in the end?
The thirteenth elder brother walked side by side with him, and reminded: "Fourteenth brother, look ahead!"
Only then did the fourteenth elder brother turn his head to regain his senses, and saw that the third elder brother changed his usual gentle and refined appearance, raised his bow and narrowed his eyes, with a look of sternness in his eyes, and opened his bow twice before putting it down.
He thought the third elder brother was bluffing a bit, but when he turned around, he saw the guards came back with two roe deer, the feathered arrows only passed through the tail, and the leather on his body was not damaged at all, this is a perfect shot!
The fourteenth elder brother was very surprised, watching the third elder brother's bow and arrow again and again, and the arrows were flawless, and the leather was not damaged at all.It didn't take long for the cage containing the prey to be full, and another one had to be prepared, and two more guards to pick up the prey were enough.
He said in disbelief: "Is the third brother so powerful?"
The thirteenth elder brother vaguely knew that the fourth elder brother had praised the third elder brother's riding and shooting in front of him back then as the best among their brothers, even better than the eldest brother.
At that time, he only thought that the fourth elder brother liked the third elder brother more, so he said that. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the third elder brother is really good.
The emperor rode to the other side with his bodyguards, and the two younger ones followed the third elder brother all the way, with wide-eyed and incredulous expressions, followed back in a daze.
Then they watched the emperor ask the guards to count the prey. The number and size of him and the third elder brother were not much different, so they couldn't help laughing: "The third brother is not bad."
Every year, the Mulan paddock emperor likes to take the third elder brother with him, nothing else, but the third elder brother is as good as his riding and shooting.
Among so many elder brothers, the third elder brother said that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first.
The fourteenth elder brother thought of whispering to the fourth elder brother that day, saying that the eighth elder brother must be better than the third elder brother in riding and shooting, and now he can't wait to cover his face.
Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance. The third elder brother looked at the appearance of a weak scholar, so he was so powerful?
He turned his head and saw that the son of the clan who was assessed that day was also there, and that person's complexion was alternately red and pale. He was probably glad that the third elder brother was merciful that day and didn't make him lose too badly.
However, thinking of what this clan child said that day, and comparing the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother together, his cheeks are burning right now.
The fourteenth brother wondered if the eighth brother knew how powerful the third elder brother was, so he just smiled at that time, and didn't really make any gestures with the third elder brother?
If it's a real gesture, it's the eighth brother who is ashamed!
The fourth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother with a suspicious expression on his face and smiled: "How about it, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Fourteenth elder brother nodded, and said with a complicated look on his face: "Fourth brother already knew about it, and he didn't remind me."
He just followed up because he was waiting to see the third elder brother's mediocre riding and shooting. In the end, he only felt his face hurt, and he looked at the fourth elder brother with resentful eyes.
The fourteenth elder brother felt that his talent in martial arts was good, but now looking at the third elder brother, he suddenly realized that he was indeed only ordinary.
The fourth elder brother saw him being hit hard, smiled and patted the fourteenth elder brother on the shoulder and said: "You, don't underestimate your brothers. You don't know, the best riding skills among us are not three Brother, not the eldest brother, but the seventh younger brother."
This really surprised Fourteenth Brother, after all, Seventh Brother's leg and foot problems are well known.
The fourth elder brother was also very surprised when he found out later, because the seventh elder brother walked faster, and the problems with his legs and feet were more obvious. If he was on horseback, there would be no problem at all.
Especially on horseback, he can run fast against the wind without being seen by others, so he likes horse riding more and more.
Brother Seven was the first to go to the school grounds, and he was also the last to leave. His riding skills have been practiced to the peak, and he can almost blend with a horse. No one can catch up with him.
Only then did the fourteenth elder brother suppress the arrogance he had always had. He originally thought that his talent was extremely outstanding. Who knew that even though his talents were not as good as his, his brothers worked harder and were better than him. After returning home, he became calm If you practice riding and shooting well, your progress will be by leaps and bounds. Brother Thirteen will have to work very hard to catch up.
Not only that, but he also puts more effort into class, and he will work hard to complete the homework by himself, instead of hanging around Brother Thirteen every day waiting to tell him the answer.
The fourteenth elder brother suddenly became sensible. The emperor felt comforted by stroking his beard when he knew about it, but he felt that this little son was always thinking about it, and he didn't know how long he could last.
But he finally knew that he was making progress, the emperor was very happy, and turned around to mention this to Concubine De: "After watching Fourteen get closer to Fourth, he has become more and more sensible."
Concubine De smiled and said: "People who are going to leave the palace to build a mansion in a few years from the [-]th, looking at a small person before, they will always grow up."
The emperor also laughed and said: "Seeing him jumping up and down like a monkey, now he knows how to do his homework and practice riding and shooting."
Brother Fourteen has a good talent, but he is not diligent and hardworking enough, so he can get by just because he is a bit smart.
The [-]th elder brother and the eighth elder brother had a good time before. The eighth elder brother has a good temper. Although he can give pointers and discipline, he is not as strict as the fourth elder brother. He is still a bit lazy, but he is much better now.
Concubine De also said: "The fourth son has always been diligent and self-disciplined. It would be good for the younger fourteen to learn a little."
The emperor nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
If the fourteenth elder brother can be as sensible and worry-free as the fourth elder brother, even if it is only a small part, it will be reassuring!
Geng Yi came to Mulan paddock to run for two days. He felt that the inner thigh was to blame, and he didn't want to go out afterward.
Niu Gulu Gege likes riding horses very much, especially wanting to hunt two kinds of prey to come back. Seeing Geng Yi not going out, she hesitated whether to stay with her, but Geng Yi smiled and urged: "It's rare for my sister to come out, why bother to come out with me?" I'm just sitting here? I really don't like horse racing, so I don't have to force myself, and my sister doesn't have to accommodate me. And I wait for my sister to come back from hunting, and I can ask the cook to cook something delicious."
Hearing this, Niu Gulu laughed: "Then I'll go out first, and when I come back from hunting prey, I'll wait for my sister to instruct the cook to cook something delicious."
Geng Yi watched Niu Gulu Gege leave with a smile, his face collapsed, and he greeted Rusui and said: "Quick, squeeze my leg, this leg is hurting."
Rusui applied medicine to her inner thigh yesterday, knowing that Geng Yi's calf was sore, she hurried forward and squeezed it.
Hu Momo was at the side and poured horse milk tea. Geng Yi took a sip and was not used to it, so he asked her to change it to goat milk tea, and fell back comfortably.
She also had the small wooden table placed by Madam Hu, on which were two plates of snacks.
There are milk snacks here, and after eating too much, Geng Yi feels that there is a faint milk smell all over his body.
Geng Yi ate snacks and drank milk tea, Rusui squeezed his legs and squinted his eyes comfortably, then heard Hu Nanny say: "Your maidservant just went to inquire, today the cook should know how to cook whole roasted lamb."
As soon as she heard it, she sighed and said, "It's roasted whole lamb again, didn't you just eat it yesterday or the day before yesterday?"
Whether it's roast whole lamb or roast lamb leg, or roast lamb and roast lamb chops, Geng Yi will get angry after eating it.
Although the mutton is delicious, the fattest sheep are selected here in the grassland. A sheep weighs several tens of catties. After being slaughtered, ginger, onions, peppers and salt are put into the stomach, and the whole sheep is slowly roasted on the fire. It is oily, golden in color, and the rich fragrance can linger far away.
Even the sheepskin on the surface is crispy, and the mutton is extremely tender, you can tear it off, eat it while it is hot, and your mouth will be full of meaty aroma.
However, no matter how delicious the roast lamb is, I can't stand eating it every day!
And it's all big meat and no vegetables. She felt like she was going to have indigestion after eating it. She touched her belly and sighed, "Is there anything else?"
Madam Hu showed a troubled look: "The cook said that today the nobles came back from hunting, including venison and roe deer meat, as well as pheasant and other pheasant meat."
This is a hunting ground, where there are no vegetables, only meat!
In the end, Geng Yi could only ask for a smoked chicken, and then asked the cook for a plate of vinegar to eat.
Niu Gulu Gege came back from hunting and took two roe deer and pheasant to the cook. Seeing that Geng Yi dipped the smoked chicken in vinegar and ate it, he was quite curious, so he tried to eat a piece, and it tasted very novel. : "Sister Geng, it's not greasy at all, it's sour and appetizing."
Geng Yi smiled and said: "Isn't it because I have eaten too much meat recently, I feel a little greasy, and there is nothing else, I can only make do with vinegar."
This smoked chicken is also a local specialty. It uses the unique local red jade chicken. It is large in size but not greasy. The seasoning is also found in the local area.
It is also possible to eat it with the cake without dipping in vinegar, and the cake here is also a mutton cake.
Geng Yi also ordered local pies, which were filled with dried fruits or flowers, and the sweet fruity and floral aromas were very strong.
Although the method is a bit rough and not as refined as in the palace, it is quite good to eat occasionally.
A small smoked chicken, Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege shared a share, and ate two more pies, and the two of them were full.
They had just finished eating when they saw the fourth elder brother coming over, with a look of disgust on his face, and said to Geng Yi: "The fourteenth brother ordered a dish of shredded fresh milk. He said he was very curious, and it was too sweet to eat."
Geng Yi smiled: "Master, this dish must be sweet to be delicious, and the sweeter the better."
The goat’s milk is filled with a lethal amount of sugar, and the flour is simmered to make a paste, then poured on a plate, then cooled on ice for several hours, and then turned into a frozen cake, then cut open and deep-fried in a frying pan. The sweet taste can spoil the children next door.
Of course, this dish is also the favorite of children, so Geng Yi asked: "Brother Fourteen must like this dish very much."
Because it is sweet enough, it is usually ordered by children.
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, I just tasted it, and the thirteenth brother only ate one chopstick, and the fourteenth brother ate the rest by himself."
Just that sip made him so sweet that he couldn't get over it after a long time.
Geng Yi asked Madam Hu to make a pot of Pu'er tea to relieve the tiredness of the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother sat down and drank a cup of tea. Only then did he feel that the lingering sweetness in his mouth had dissipated a lot, so he asked about the harvest of Niu Colu Gege, and when he heard it, he smiled and praised: "Not bad, the harvest is quite good. rich."
Even if Niu Gulu Gege went out for a run, it was not good to really leave Geng Yi alone, so he just wandered around a short distance and shot a few prey before returning.
The fourth elder brother knew as soon as he heard it, after all, there were mostly small prey in the periphery, and he could guess that the three prey that Niu Gulu Gege shot were all small prey.
The fourth brother also knew about Geng Yi's thigh injury while riding a horse, so he only asked her to take a good rest and not go out.
Sifujin hasn't come out for a long time. She went hunting in the morning with great interest, but she hasn't come back yet.
Nanny Liao stayed at the Summer Resort and looked at Honghui. After all, the Mulan paddock is full of grass and there are a lot of mosquitoes. Honghui didn't let Honghui follow him to the Mulan paddock for food suitable for children.
Anyway, it's not far away, and it's okay to go back to the Summer Resort at night.
I don't know where the ninth elder brother went crazy with the tenth elder brother. The fourth elder brother took the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and went in for a lap. The two young ones even hunted a big prey together. Just happily, after eating, he was discussing whether to go in to find a bigger prey, but was stopped by the fourth elder brother.
In the morning, in order to encircle and suppress the big prey, there were guards chasing them around, and the fourth elder brother was also watching, for fear that the two younger elder brothers would be injured. They tossed for a long time, and almost all the feather arrows were used up. successful.
So many people helped, and the two of them worked so hard to get a big prey, Fourteenth Brother became proud, and wanted to hunt an even bigger prey, wasn't this a joke about his own safety?
The fourth elder brother couldn't help scolding the fourteenth elder brother a few words, but the fourteenth elder brother was unhappy and ran out. He was about to catch up, but was stopped by the thirteenth elder brother: "It's okay, fourth brother, I'll go and see Just look at the fourteenth brother."
After finishing speaking, the thirteenth elder brother caught up, and the fourth elder brother came to Geng Yi's side a little depressed.
He sat down and chatted with Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege for a few words, and then he gradually felt relieved. Brother Fourteen has such a temperament, why should he be serious with this younger brother!
The thirteenth brother caught up with the fourteenth brother, and couldn't help laughing when he saw his face wrinkled.
Brother Fourteen turned around and glared at him: "Didn't Brother Thirteen come here to comfort me, why did he laugh first?"
"You ran fast, but you didn't see the fourth brother in a hurry. You, you know that the fourth brother is worried about us, why are you still angry?"
When the thirteenth elder brother said this, the fourteenth elder brother stretched out his hand and scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed and said: "I know that the fourth brother is worried, but he just thinks that he doesn't believe in us or my ability. Even if we really go hunting, the surrounding Followed by a lot of guards, fourth brother has nothing to be afraid of!"
After listening, Elder Brother Thirteen shook his head and said, "As a brother, even if you are very powerful, even stronger than Fourth Brother, he will still be worried. Isn't this a matter of course?"
I'm worried because I care about Elder Fourteen.
After the fourteenth brother ran out, he actually regretted it a little bit. It may be because no matter how strict the fourth brother is, he still let him pamper him as long as it is not a big thing, so the fourteenth brother couldn't help but have a little temper. I think it shouldn't be.
"Okay, let's go back, don't let the fourth brother worry."
The thirteenth elder brother walked back with his arms around the fourteenth elder brother's shoulders, and met the ninth and tenth elder brothers who were empty-handed.
Elder Brother Jiu shrugged and said, "Xiao Shi and I met a big guy and were about to outflank it, but the guards of the big brother chased away all the prey. When I saw something was wrong, I hurried back with Xiao Shi. "
Seeing the big elder brother's posture, he can't wait to get all the big prey in the paddock down by himself. It's no wonder that the emperor knows that he won't be scolded!
He said helplessly again: "I see that the starling followed the eldest brother and tried to persuade him, but it's a pity that the eldest brother didn't listen at all."
The eighth elder brother hesitated for a while, but still followed, probably worried that the eldest elder brother would cause bigger troubles.
The thirteenth elder brother was full of doubts and said: "But there are leaders of various Mongolian tribes on the side of the paddock. The eldest brother has taken away all the prey. What about the others?"
Where did the ninth elder brother know, the few of them went to the fourth elder brother together and told him about it.
If they didn't come back, the fourth elder brother also planned to ask Su Peisheng to take someone to look for them. When he saw several people coming together, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked the elder brothers to sit down and rest. Su Peisheng quickly served horse milk tea.
The fourth elder brother has already received the news, knowing that the eldest elder brother asked the guards to drive all the big prey together, just to surpass the prey that the prince hunted, he simply didn't know what to say.
But the elder brother has always had this temperament, he can't care about anything when he is hot, even if the eighth elder brother tries hard to persuade him, he won't listen to him at all.
After all, a person who has never been too busy to touch the ground suddenly has nothing to do, and it is only natural that he can't find anything to do for a while. Can he not be depressed over time?
So Geng Yi first suggested that the fourth elder brother read books and write big characters, and she would sacrifice herself to accompany her to play a few games, anyway, just don't be too idle and just think wildly.
The fourth elder brother didn't understand Geng Yi's worried look at first, but after knowing it, he couldn't laugh or cry: "You, you are really worried, I don't want to be depressed when I have nothing to do."
He had been busy all this time and didn't feel it, but after he suddenly stopped to rest, he felt that his body was really a little tired.
No matter how young he was, he would go out to inspect by boat after he was as busy as a shaft, even the fourth elder brother would not be able to bear it.
After all, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking on the road, but you have to be tense when inspecting these four elder brothers. You must find problems at any time, and you must answer the emperor’s questions and school exams at any time.
That's why he followed Geng Yi's suggestion, avoided the prince's request by the way, and took a good rest in the mansion for a month.
This month, Geng Yi used the kitchen to change tricks to warm up the fourth elder brother.
Soup, water and water are indispensable, and I have also made a lot of nourishing medicinal meals. I ate well and had enough rest. One month later, the fourth elder brother looked rosy and a little fatter, not as thin as before, and the whole person was a little bit A red face.
When he went to court again, the officials were quite surprised to see the fourth elder brother like this.
The elder brother was even more surprised when he saw it, and couldn't help asking: "You don't have to do business this month, fourth brother, it seems that you are resting well in the mansion."
He thought that the fourth elder brother was sent home without any errands for a whole month, and everyone would be anxious and depressed, so why did he gain weight instead?
It should be said that the fourth elder brother has a big heart and a fat body. Didn't he feel flustered after being idle for a month as if he was rejected by the emperor?
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I have indeed recuperated well this month, and Huang Ama is also sympathetic."
The eldest elder brother snorted coldly, who cares about him anymore, he is being sarcastic, didn't the fourth elder brother hear it?
Where the fourth elder brother couldn't hear it, he pretended not to hear it, and just refused to answer the call. What can the eldest brother do?
It was like hitting cotton with a fist, and Big Brother felt unhappy.
There was nothing special about the early court, except that the eighth elder brother was assigned another errand, which was to take Fei Yanggu and other ministers to test the riding and shooting of the clan's children.
It's obvious that the eighth elder brother's original errand was anticlimactic, and it was over.
As the fourth elder brother expected, the emperor didn't really care much about whether the eighth elder brother recovered the debt, but just gave the nobles an attitude and asked them to restrain themselves.
Now that the beating has been done, he will naturally pass by lightly.
But the emperor couldn't directly say that I don't want to owe money, so he asked the eighth elder brother to transfer to other errands.
The fourth elder brother was invited to the imperial study by Li Dequan after he came down to court. The emperor looked him up and down a few times before nodding his head and said: "That's right, it seems that the fourth elder brother is well-raised in the mansion."
This face is rosy, and the eyes are bright, can it be good?
The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "It's also Huang Ama who is considerate, so that I can have a good rest."
The emperor nodded. Originally, he was worried that the fourth elder brother would not be able to stay if he had nothing to do in the mansion, and he would come out soon to find himself an errand or something.
If this was the case, it would be as if the emperor cared about him, and asking the fourth elder brother to go back to recuperate seemed like punishment, which would be unbeautiful.
Who knew that the fourth elder brother could really calm down and take a good rest, and was not in a hurry to run out, and now he is taking care of himself well.
The emperor was secretly satisfied. The fourth son's temperament was rare enough to be calm, not in a hurry, nor in a hurry.
Assessing the riding and shooting of the clan's children is a matter of time and time again. The fourth elder brother thought it was just going through the motions, but because Fei Yanggu was there this time, he paid more attention to it.
Then I found out that the emperor not only called the eighth elder brother, but later ordered the third elder brother to go together.
The fourteenth elder brother took advantage of Muxiu to go out of the palace, and took the thirteenth elder brother for a stroll to the Sibeile mansion, and mentioned the matter to the fourth elder brother: "I begged Huang Ama, and I went to see it specially. Shooting is sloppy, just one or two are still good, it is really not as good as every year."
The emperor also conducted the assessment the year before last. At that time, the elder brother was asked to go, and the fourteenth elder brother also went to watch.
The elder brother seemed to have known for a long time that the children of the clan were no different from ostentatious people, so he almost let it go. After the emperor found out about this, he severely reprimanded the elder brother, and he was not allowed to go this year.
The fourteenth elder brother came over suddenly, and said mysteriously: "Fourth brother, this year, there is a riding and archery among the clan's children, which is not bad, and he actually named him to compete with the third brother. Who do you think will win?"
The thirteenth elder brother replied beside him: "Then you still have to guess, it must be the third brother who won."
Even though the third elder brother looks like a frail scholar, but these elder brothers have been taught to ride and shoot by the most outstanding martial arts master since they were young. How could the clan's children be able to compare?
Elder Fourteen smiled and said, "Brother Thirteen is right, Third Brother won, and after this person conceded defeat, he thought Eighth Brother and Third Brother could give advice, but he didn't know who to ask for advice."
The thirteenth elder brother was not happy when he heard it: "What does this person mean, sowing discord?"
I want to ask the two elder brothers but I don't know who to ask. Isn't this letting the eighth elder brother and the third elder brother say who is the best?
It's not good just to say, the two of them have to compete to find out, is the son of the clan worthy?
Elder Fourteen laughed and said: "This person did it on purpose. He may think that the third elder brother who looks weak is better than him in riding and shooting, but he is definitely not as good as the eighth brother, so he made a bad plan. Of course, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother If you don’t have the same knowledge as him, this competition is impossible.”
He turned his head and asked, "Fourth Brother, I'm actually quite curious. If Third Brother and Mynah really compete, will Mynah win?"
The fourth elder brother smiled: "After a while, Huang Ama will go to the Mulan paddock as usual, won't you know then?"
The fourteenth elder brother stared wide-eyed, and said in disbelief: "Fourth brother will be tricky, if you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep tonight!"
Hearing this, the fourth elder brother laughed and said: "Then don't sleep tonight, think slowly."
The fourteenth elder brother's eyes widened even wider, can the fourth elder brother actually make jokes?
But the fourth elder brother was determined not to say anything. When the fourteenth elder brother went back, he was scratching his heart and lungs with curiosity. The thirteenth elder brother saw him restless in the carriage like a monkey and said helplessly: "Which one is stronger, the third elder brother or the eighth elder brother?" , do you want to know that much?"
Elder Fourteen nodded and said, "Of course, but I think Starling will win, why don't we take a gamble?"
The thirteenth brother was also interested and said: "Okay, the fourteenth brother bet on the starling, then I will bet on the third brother to win."
The fourteenth brother laughed and said, "It looks like I'm winning, there must be a little bet. If the thirteenth brother wins, I'll give you my favorite bow."
The thirteenth elder brother was really surprised. After all, the fourteenth elder brother's favorite bow was given by the emperor. He was so precious that he was willing to use it as a bet?
"You don't need to use this, if you want the fourteenth brother to win, you can treat me to dinner, and if I win, I can treat you, how about it?"
The fourteenth elder brother was a little disappointed, thinking that the thirteenth elder brother would come up with something: "Okay, that's fine."
Seeing his lost look, Brother Thirteen laughed and said, "I don't have any good things to bet on. It's really not possible. If I lose, how about telling Brother Fourteen about homework?"
Fourteenth elder brother said angrily, "What's the difference between that and usual!"
After all, Brother Thirteen usually taught him to do his homework, otherwise his own homework would not be able to keep up!
The thirteenth elder brother is helpless, but the fourteenth elder brother is still confident?
The two waited for a few days, and the emperor finally announced that he would go to Chengde Mountain Resort with his concubines, brothers and ministers.
The empress dowager would not go together in previous years. Firstly, the palace could not be completely unattended. Secondly, the emperor went to the summer resort to deal with the government affairs in order to lead the officials to get closer to the Mongols. Thirdly, there was no empress dowager. The emperor can also be more comfortable without restraint.
But this year Wu Fujin has been by her side all the time, if the empress dowager doesn't go, Wu Fujin won't go either, but the fifth elder brother plans to follow the emperor to the summer resort, and the young couple will be separated.
Although their relationship still failed to ease, the empress dowager couldn't bear to break up the young couple, so it was rare for her to take the initiative to ask the emperor if they could go together this time.
Naturally, the emperor didn't respond, so he quickly asked people to pack their luggage and prepare everything. After all, the empress dowager used to live in the summer resort for at least three months.
In addition, in terms of the harem, the emperor left Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong to take charge.
The two of them were getting older, they didn't care much about sleeping, it didn't matter whether they went to the summer resort or not, it would be better to stay in the palace to preside over the palace affairs, so they happily agreed.
Seeing that Wu Fujin had packed up his luggage after returning from the palace, and that he was going to the Summer Resort with the empress dowager's motorcade, the fifth elder brother showed a complicated expression.
In the past, Wu Fujin tried his best to keep the fifth elder brother's eyes on him, but now he seems to let it go and try his best to please the empress dowager.
She used to do some needlework for the fifth elder brother, but she stopped doing it recently. She embroidered a belt and wiped the forehead for the empress dowager.
The gown is not easy to make. From now on, it will be ready by the end of the year. She can give it to the Empress Dowager as a New Year gift.
As for the Fifth Prince?Then Wu Fujin has no time and no hands.
You have to hurry up to do the ones for the empress dowager, so there is no time to do it for the fifth elder brother!
Anyway, there is no shortage of people in the backyard, and there should not be too many people making underwear for the fifth elder brother.
As long as the fifth elder brother doesn't tell the outside world, who knows that Wu Fujin hasn't done any sewing for him recently?
In the backyard, Wu Fujin gave a compliment to the Guerjia family of Fujin and left it alone.
After Guerjia was pregnant, the fifth elder brother would of course have to take pity on her. As soon as she stayed at night, Liu Jia sent a maid to say that she was not feeling well. Bai Gege also said that he was uncomfortable and asked the maid to invite him.
The fifth elder brother could only get up again to take a look. He was a little impatient at first, and felt that the two side Fujins were enough to compete for favor. Why did Bai Gege come to join in the fun?
Who would have thought that Bai Gege's face was indeed pale, and he kept yelling that his stomach was uncomfortable, so the fifth elder brother became nervous, it was not good to go to the palace at this time to ask for an imperial doctor, so he had to invite the doctor who made offerings to come over to have a look, and Bai Gege was actually pregnant too!
The fifth prince was overjoyed, and the backyard became even more lively for a while.
Today, when I went to Liu Jia's side, the fifth elder brother's buttocks were not hot yet, so the Guarjia family sent someone to invite him, and Bai Gege also sent someone over, and the fifth elder brother wanted to split himself into several petals to use.
Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, so the fifth elder brother secretly went to the palace to meet the empress dowager, and also wanted to go to the summer resort with his motorcade.
The empress dowager laughed and said, "There are two conceived in your backyard, so don't go to the Summer Resort with you this time."
The fifth elder brother became anxious when he heard it, how could this be possible!
"Grandmother, my grandson wants to go with you, otherwise I won't see you for several months."
The Empress Dowager laughed and said, "Otherwise Rong Ji will follow me, who will take care of your backyard?"
Rong Ji is Wu Fujin's name. If there were not two pregnant women in the backyard, the empress dowager would probably agree to Wu Fujin. Now she doesn't want Wu Fujin to stay and suffer.
The fifth elder brother concluded that he was going to the summer resort, and there were only two side Fujin and Gege left in the backyard.
Guarjia would definitely not accept that he was going to be handed over to Fang Fujin Liu Jiashi, and he couldn't rest assured that the two pregnant women in the backyard would be handed over to Liu Jiashi.
It stands to reason that there are two pregnant women in the backyard, so Wu Fujin should stay, but she can't find fault with serving by the empress dowager's side, so it's okay for the fifth elder brother to stay by himself?
The fifth elder brother had a headache, so he could only go back first. Seeing his appearance, the Empress Dowager smiled at Mammy Li next to her, "He said before that Rong Ji was dispensable in the mansion, but now he knows it's gone. It must be a headache for Rongji to help."
What Wu Fujin did in the mansion, the fifth elder brother naturally couldn't see it.
As long as she doesn't do anything, it will be very difficult for fifth elder brother to not see.
In the past, Wu Fujin helped to take care of it. Except for Liu Jiashi, the side Fujin who was favored in the backyard, no one else was confiscated, and they all lived well.
Because of her presence, other people in the backyard did not dare to be too presumptuous.
Now that Wu Fujin runs to the palace twice every three days, the mansion will follow the original practice, big mistakes are fine, and small things are ignored. In addition, two other people in the backyard are also pregnant, and Liu Jiashi is no longer the only one with children. People, this balance is broken.
If Wu Fujin didn't care, the fifth elder brother was about to burn out.
Mammy Li smiled and said nothing, knowing that the Empress Dowager had no intention of asking her to answer.
Sure enough, the Empress Dowager murmured: "Why don't you persuade Xiao Wu to stay and let him see for himself what kind of bad atmosphere he brought to the backyard by only pampering Liu Jiashi before."
The fifth elder brother committed his own crimes, of course he has to clean up this mess by himself, the empress dowager is reluctant to let Wu Fujin take care of this!
Wu Fujin made needlework for the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager wore them happily, and gave Wu Fujin a point for any delicious, fun, and useful things he got.
The two of them still had a lot to say. The empress dowager would tell Wu Fujin about the past in the grassland when he was a child, and Wu Fujin would also talk about the embarrassing things at home when he was a child.
They are a little older, but they have similar temperaments and get along very well, so Wu Fujin's Mongolian language has become better and better, and they don't stutter when they speak.
After all, the fifth elder brother was worried, and in the end he pleaded guilty to the emperor and did not go to the Summer Resort with him.
Wu Fujin felt more relaxed when he knew about it. He lived with the empress dowager, and then ran horses with the empress dowager. I don't know how comfortable he is.
The Summer Resort is not far from the Mulan paddock. After the emperor settled down, he took his ministers and elder brothers to go hunting.
This time, the fourth elder brother brought along Si Fujin and Geng Yi, as well as Niu Gulu Gege.
Geng Yi discovered that Niu Gulu Gege looked petite, but he was good at riding and shooting.
On the other hand, Geng Yi is much inferior. It can only be said that riding and shooting is normal. Although the body's reaction is good, it can only be regarded as mediocre among the many handsome Fujin and Gege.
However, horse racing is still a joy, and Geng Yi feels as free as the wind when the horse runs wildly against the wind.
Fourteenth elder brother followed to Mulan paddock, he was so happy.
After all, these little elder brothers haven't left the palace to build a mansion, so it's not easy to go out for a trip.
The emperor found that today's fourteenth elder brother was absent-minded. He would have run away as early as before with a bow and arrow. Today, he followed suit and looked at the third and eighth elder brothers with a tangled expression. He couldn't help being surprised: "Ten Si, what's the matter with you, do they have something growing on their faces?"
The fourteenth elder brother also said the bet with the thirteenth elder brother: "Huang Ama, my son is just curious about this one."
The emperor smiled and said, "Then let you see for yourself, third child, let's go!"
The third elder brother responded, kicked the horse's belly and ran away with the emperor. The fourteenth elder brother quickly patted the horse to keep up, and the thirteenth elder brother followed behind.
The fourth elder brother watched the two younger elder brothers running after him, and smiled in his heart, thinking that he might see the surprised expression of the fourteenth elder brother later.
The fourteenth elder brother turned his head and glanced at the eighth elder brother who was still there, wondering if the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother had a competition, why did the emperor only call the third elder brother in the end?
The thirteenth elder brother walked side by side with him, and reminded: "Fourteenth brother, look ahead!"
Only then did the fourteenth elder brother turn his head to regain his senses, and saw that the third elder brother changed his usual gentle and refined appearance, raised his bow and narrowed his eyes, with a look of sternness in his eyes, and opened his bow twice before putting it down.
He thought the third elder brother was bluffing a bit, but when he turned around, he saw the guards came back with two roe deer, the feathered arrows only passed through the tail, and the leather on his body was not damaged at all, this is a perfect shot!
The fourteenth elder brother was very surprised, watching the third elder brother's bow and arrow again and again, and the arrows were flawless, and the leather was not damaged at all.It didn't take long for the cage containing the prey to be full, and another one had to be prepared, and two more guards to pick up the prey were enough.
He said in disbelief: "Is the third brother so powerful?"
The thirteenth elder brother vaguely knew that the fourth elder brother had praised the third elder brother's riding and shooting in front of him back then as the best among their brothers, even better than the eldest brother.
At that time, he only thought that the fourth elder brother liked the third elder brother more, so he said that. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that the third elder brother is really good.
The emperor rode to the other side with his bodyguards, and the two younger ones followed the third elder brother all the way, with wide-eyed and incredulous expressions, followed back in a daze.
Then they watched the emperor ask the guards to count the prey. The number and size of him and the third elder brother were not much different, so they couldn't help laughing: "The third brother is not bad."
Every year, the Mulan paddock emperor likes to take the third elder brother with him, nothing else, but the third elder brother is as good as his riding and shooting.
Among so many elder brothers, the third elder brother said that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first.
The fourteenth elder brother thought of whispering to the fourth elder brother that day, saying that the eighth elder brother must be better than the third elder brother in riding and shooting, and now he can't wait to cover his face.
Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance. The third elder brother looked at the appearance of a weak scholar, so he was so powerful?
He turned his head and saw that the son of the clan who was assessed that day was also there, and that person's complexion was alternately red and pale. He was probably glad that the third elder brother was merciful that day and didn't make him lose too badly.
However, thinking of what this clan child said that day, and comparing the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother together, his cheeks are burning right now.
The fourteenth brother wondered if the eighth brother knew how powerful the third elder brother was, so he just smiled at that time, and didn't really make any gestures with the third elder brother?
If it's a real gesture, it's the eighth brother who is ashamed!
The fourth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother with a suspicious expression on his face and smiled: "How about it, did you see it with your own eyes?"
Fourteenth elder brother nodded, and said with a complicated look on his face: "Fourth brother already knew about it, and he didn't remind me."
He just followed up because he was waiting to see the third elder brother's mediocre riding and shooting. In the end, he only felt his face hurt, and he looked at the fourth elder brother with resentful eyes.
The fourteenth elder brother felt that his talent in martial arts was good, but now looking at the third elder brother, he suddenly realized that he was indeed only ordinary.
The fourth elder brother saw him being hit hard, smiled and patted the fourteenth elder brother on the shoulder and said: "You, don't underestimate your brothers. You don't know, the best riding skills among us are not three Brother, not the eldest brother, but the seventh younger brother."
This really surprised Fourteenth Brother, after all, Seventh Brother's leg and foot problems are well known.
The fourth elder brother was also very surprised when he found out later, because the seventh elder brother walked faster, and the problems with his legs and feet were more obvious. If he was on horseback, there would be no problem at all.
Especially on horseback, he can run fast against the wind without being seen by others, so he likes horse riding more and more.
Brother Seven was the first to go to the school grounds, and he was also the last to leave. His riding skills have been practiced to the peak, and he can almost blend with a horse. No one can catch up with him.
Only then did the fourteenth elder brother suppress the arrogance he had always had. He originally thought that his talent was extremely outstanding. Who knew that even though his talents were not as good as his, his brothers worked harder and were better than him. After returning home, he became calm If you practice riding and shooting well, your progress will be by leaps and bounds. Brother Thirteen will have to work very hard to catch up.
Not only that, but he also puts more effort into class, and he will work hard to complete the homework by himself, instead of hanging around Brother Thirteen every day waiting to tell him the answer.
The fourteenth elder brother suddenly became sensible. The emperor felt comforted by stroking his beard when he knew about it, but he felt that this little son was always thinking about it, and he didn't know how long he could last.
But he finally knew that he was making progress, the emperor was very happy, and turned around to mention this to Concubine De: "After watching Fourteen get closer to Fourth, he has become more and more sensible."
Concubine De smiled and said: "People who are going to leave the palace to build a mansion in a few years from the [-]th, looking at a small person before, they will always grow up."
The emperor also laughed and said: "Seeing him jumping up and down like a monkey, now he knows how to do his homework and practice riding and shooting."
Brother Fourteen has a good talent, but he is not diligent and hardworking enough, so he can get by just because he is a bit smart.
The [-]th elder brother and the eighth elder brother had a good time before. The eighth elder brother has a good temper. Although he can give pointers and discipline, he is not as strict as the fourth elder brother. He is still a bit lazy, but he is much better now.
Concubine De also said: "The fourth son has always been diligent and self-disciplined. It would be good for the younger fourteen to learn a little."
The emperor nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
If the fourteenth elder brother can be as sensible and worry-free as the fourth elder brother, even if it is only a small part, it will be reassuring!
Geng Yi came to Mulan paddock to run for two days. He felt that the inner thigh was to blame, and he didn't want to go out afterward.
Niu Gulu Gege likes riding horses very much, especially wanting to hunt two kinds of prey to come back. Seeing Geng Yi not going out, she hesitated whether to stay with her, but Geng Yi smiled and urged: "It's rare for my sister to come out, why bother to come out with me?" I'm just sitting here? I really don't like horse racing, so I don't have to force myself, and my sister doesn't have to accommodate me. And I wait for my sister to come back from hunting, and I can ask the cook to cook something delicious."
Hearing this, Niu Gulu laughed: "Then I'll go out first, and when I come back from hunting prey, I'll wait for my sister to instruct the cook to cook something delicious."
Geng Yi watched Niu Gulu Gege leave with a smile, his face collapsed, and he greeted Rusui and said: "Quick, squeeze my leg, this leg is hurting."
Rusui applied medicine to her inner thigh yesterday, knowing that Geng Yi's calf was sore, she hurried forward and squeezed it.
Hu Momo was at the side and poured horse milk tea. Geng Yi took a sip and was not used to it, so he asked her to change it to goat milk tea, and fell back comfortably.
She also had the small wooden table placed by Madam Hu, on which were two plates of snacks.
There are milk snacks here, and after eating too much, Geng Yi feels that there is a faint milk smell all over his body.
Geng Yi ate snacks and drank milk tea, Rusui squeezed his legs and squinted his eyes comfortably, then heard Hu Nanny say: "Your maidservant just went to inquire, today the cook should know how to cook whole roasted lamb."
As soon as she heard it, she sighed and said, "It's roasted whole lamb again, didn't you just eat it yesterday or the day before yesterday?"
Whether it's roast whole lamb or roast lamb leg, or roast lamb and roast lamb chops, Geng Yi will get angry after eating it.
Although the mutton is delicious, the fattest sheep are selected here in the grassland. A sheep weighs several tens of catties. After being slaughtered, ginger, onions, peppers and salt are put into the stomach, and the whole sheep is slowly roasted on the fire. It is oily, golden in color, and the rich fragrance can linger far away.
Even the sheepskin on the surface is crispy, and the mutton is extremely tender, you can tear it off, eat it while it is hot, and your mouth will be full of meaty aroma.
However, no matter how delicious the roast lamb is, I can't stand eating it every day!
And it's all big meat and no vegetables. She felt like she was going to have indigestion after eating it. She touched her belly and sighed, "Is there anything else?"
Madam Hu showed a troubled look: "The cook said that today the nobles came back from hunting, including venison and roe deer meat, as well as pheasant and other pheasant meat."
This is a hunting ground, where there are no vegetables, only meat!
In the end, Geng Yi could only ask for a smoked chicken, and then asked the cook for a plate of vinegar to eat.
Niu Gulu Gege came back from hunting and took two roe deer and pheasant to the cook. Seeing that Geng Yi dipped the smoked chicken in vinegar and ate it, he was quite curious, so he tried to eat a piece, and it tasted very novel. : "Sister Geng, it's not greasy at all, it's sour and appetizing."
Geng Yi smiled and said: "Isn't it because I have eaten too much meat recently, I feel a little greasy, and there is nothing else, I can only make do with vinegar."
This smoked chicken is also a local specialty. It uses the unique local red jade chicken. It is large in size but not greasy. The seasoning is also found in the local area.
It is also possible to eat it with the cake without dipping in vinegar, and the cake here is also a mutton cake.
Geng Yi also ordered local pies, which were filled with dried fruits or flowers, and the sweet fruity and floral aromas were very strong.
Although the method is a bit rough and not as refined as in the palace, it is quite good to eat occasionally.
A small smoked chicken, Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege shared a share, and ate two more pies, and the two of them were full.
They had just finished eating when they saw the fourth elder brother coming over, with a look of disgust on his face, and said to Geng Yi: "The fourteenth brother ordered a dish of shredded fresh milk. He said he was very curious, and it was too sweet to eat."
Geng Yi smiled: "Master, this dish must be sweet to be delicious, and the sweeter the better."
The goat’s milk is filled with a lethal amount of sugar, and the flour is simmered to make a paste, then poured on a plate, then cooled on ice for several hours, and then turned into a frozen cake, then cut open and deep-fried in a frying pan. The sweet taste can spoil the children next door.
Of course, this dish is also the favorite of children, so Geng Yi asked: "Brother Fourteen must like this dish very much."
Because it is sweet enough, it is usually ordered by children.
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, I just tasted it, and the thirteenth brother only ate one chopstick, and the fourteenth brother ate the rest by himself."
Just that sip made him so sweet that he couldn't get over it after a long time.
Geng Yi asked Madam Hu to make a pot of Pu'er tea to relieve the tiredness of the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother sat down and drank a cup of tea. Only then did he feel that the lingering sweetness in his mouth had dissipated a lot, so he asked about the harvest of Niu Colu Gege, and when he heard it, he smiled and praised: "Not bad, the harvest is quite good. rich."
Even if Niu Gulu Gege went out for a run, it was not good to really leave Geng Yi alone, so he just wandered around a short distance and shot a few prey before returning.
The fourth elder brother knew as soon as he heard it, after all, there were mostly small prey in the periphery, and he could guess that the three prey that Niu Gulu Gege shot were all small prey.
The fourth brother also knew about Geng Yi's thigh injury while riding a horse, so he only asked her to take a good rest and not go out.
Sifujin hasn't come out for a long time. She went hunting in the morning with great interest, but she hasn't come back yet.
Nanny Liao stayed at the Summer Resort and looked at Honghui. After all, the Mulan paddock is full of grass and there are a lot of mosquitoes. Honghui didn't let Honghui follow him to the Mulan paddock for food suitable for children.
Anyway, it's not far away, and it's okay to go back to the Summer Resort at night.
I don't know where the ninth elder brother went crazy with the tenth elder brother. The fourth elder brother took the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and went in for a lap. The two young ones even hunted a big prey together. Just happily, after eating, he was discussing whether to go in to find a bigger prey, but was stopped by the fourth elder brother.
In the morning, in order to encircle and suppress the big prey, there were guards chasing them around, and the fourth elder brother was also watching, for fear that the two younger elder brothers would be injured. They tossed for a long time, and almost all the feather arrows were used up. successful.
So many people helped, and the two of them worked so hard to get a big prey, Fourteenth Brother became proud, and wanted to hunt an even bigger prey, wasn't this a joke about his own safety?
The fourth elder brother couldn't help scolding the fourteenth elder brother a few words, but the fourteenth elder brother was unhappy and ran out. He was about to catch up, but was stopped by the thirteenth elder brother: "It's okay, fourth brother, I'll go and see Just look at the fourteenth brother."
After finishing speaking, the thirteenth elder brother caught up, and the fourth elder brother came to Geng Yi's side a little depressed.
He sat down and chatted with Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege for a few words, and then he gradually felt relieved. Brother Fourteen has such a temperament, why should he be serious with this younger brother!
The thirteenth brother caught up with the fourteenth brother, and couldn't help laughing when he saw his face wrinkled.
Brother Fourteen turned around and glared at him: "Didn't Brother Thirteen come here to comfort me, why did he laugh first?"
"You ran fast, but you didn't see the fourth brother in a hurry. You, you know that the fourth brother is worried about us, why are you still angry?"
When the thirteenth elder brother said this, the fourteenth elder brother stretched out his hand and scratched his face, feeling a little embarrassed and said: "I know that the fourth brother is worried, but he just thinks that he doesn't believe in us or my ability. Even if we really go hunting, the surrounding Followed by a lot of guards, fourth brother has nothing to be afraid of!"
After listening, Elder Brother Thirteen shook his head and said, "As a brother, even if you are very powerful, even stronger than Fourth Brother, he will still be worried. Isn't this a matter of course?"
I'm worried because I care about Elder Fourteen.
After the fourteenth brother ran out, he actually regretted it a little bit. It may be because no matter how strict the fourth brother is, he still let him pamper him as long as it is not a big thing, so the fourteenth brother couldn't help but have a little temper. I think it shouldn't be.
"Okay, let's go back, don't let the fourth brother worry."
The thirteenth elder brother walked back with his arms around the fourteenth elder brother's shoulders, and met the ninth and tenth elder brothers who were empty-handed.
Elder Brother Jiu shrugged and said, "Xiao Shi and I met a big guy and were about to outflank it, but the guards of the big brother chased away all the prey. When I saw something was wrong, I hurried back with Xiao Shi. "
Seeing the big elder brother's posture, he can't wait to get all the big prey in the paddock down by himself. It's no wonder that the emperor knows that he won't be scolded!
He said helplessly again: "I see that the starling followed the eldest brother and tried to persuade him, but it's a pity that the eldest brother didn't listen at all."
The eighth elder brother hesitated for a while, but still followed, probably worried that the eldest elder brother would cause bigger troubles.
The thirteenth elder brother was full of doubts and said: "But there are leaders of various Mongolian tribes on the side of the paddock. The eldest brother has taken away all the prey. What about the others?"
Where did the ninth elder brother know, the few of them went to the fourth elder brother together and told him about it.
If they didn't come back, the fourth elder brother also planned to ask Su Peisheng to take someone to look for them. When he saw several people coming together, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked the elder brothers to sit down and rest. Su Peisheng quickly served horse milk tea.
The fourth elder brother has already received the news, knowing that the eldest elder brother asked the guards to drive all the big prey together, just to surpass the prey that the prince hunted, he simply didn't know what to say.
But the elder brother has always had this temperament, he can't care about anything when he is hot, even if the eighth elder brother tries hard to persuade him, he won't listen to him at all.
