[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Geng Yi imagined that the fourth elder brother would live in a relatively shabby small house when he went to Yuehe to work as a supervisor this time. He only brought one or two servants and a few more guards. Handwashing soup.

She was eagerly thinking about what to cook if she cooks by herself, and she thought a lot about Kuaishou dishes.

However, things were a little different from Geng Yi's imagination. The mansion was busy packing cages, even the kitchen was busy packing some dried vegetables, and even Cook Ma was packed.

She dumbly listened to Xiao Lizi talking about how Chef Ma instructed his apprentices to put all kinds of dried vegetables into cages and then put them into the carriage, and then the apprentices packed their luggage and followed them.

Geng Yi didn't understand, so he couldn't help but asked the fourth elder brother: "Master, we are not going to cross the river, the environment over there should be average, the yard is not big, can it accommodate so many people?"

She imagined that the fourth elder brother would bring herself, then the thirteenth elder brother, and then Su Peisheng would follow. There might be a few guards and so on. Why did he even bring the cook with him? Too extravagant, isn't it the attitude of serious work?

The fourth elder brother was amused: "You are usually very smart, why are you so stupid all of a sudden? We are on a business trip, and the trip is the identity of the elder brother. Naturally, it is impossible to have a carriage. You and me and Thirteen My brother set off directly with empty hands."

Even if he and the thirteenth elder brother crossed the river because they were punished, but the emperor didn't say anything, no one would know.

Then the two of them went to work according to the emperor's wishes. As the elder brother, he really did not eat well or wear warm clothes like ordinary people, and lived in a shabby place. Didn't this lose the emperor's face and neglect the elder brother?

How dare the local area, now a big yard has been packed and waiting for the two elder brothers to pass by!

The thirteenth elder brother is in the palace, so he only needs to pack his personal belongings, and the fourth elder brother will prepare the rest.

Food and clothing, things for the road, who are the entourage, how many guards and eunuchs are brought, the old doctor will follow, and the medicinal materials are also loaded into a car, so they are well prepared.

Chef Ma followed with two apprentices, and prepared a cart of ingredients, knives and kitchen utensils.

Because I don't know how long they will live in, so I have to bring clothes and shoes for all seasons, as well as bedding, mosquito nets, pillows, incense burners and tea sets, etc. Geng Yi feels that they are actually moving!

Geng Yi didn't have to do anything, he just sat there watching Nanny Hu and Rusui busily instructing the maids to pack their things, while Ruyu stood beside her pouring tea and water.

Seeing Geng Yi's dazed look, Ruyu asked, "Master, do you think you're carrying a little too little? Master Baylor told you to keep it simple."

Geng Yi turned his head and looked at the countless cages outside, you tell me this is light and simple?

But she thinks about it, the ancient times can’t be the same as the modern ones, just buy online directly, and it’s not suitable to buy locally, not to mention that it’s hard to buy clothes that fit, many households buy cotton and cotton cloth to make bedding , I can't do it in a day or two, so I have to bring clothes and bedding.

Of course, you should also bring the ones that are close to your body, after all, they may not be sold in the local area at all!

The cook has to take it with him, otherwise would Geng Yi really be asked to cook?

If you want to find a cook locally, who knows if you can trust them, will they tamper with the food?

For the sake of safety, it is better to bring cooks and servants who know the details, so as to live with peace of mind.

In this way, the fourth elder brother is really easy to do.

Only a few days after packing up, the emperor announced to the public that the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother would go across the river to supervise the work.

The emperor sent an errand in the beginning of the new year, and he couldn't wait for the two of them to set off when the spring was still freezing. It didn't look like they were going on an errand, but rather like they had done something wrong and were kicked out of the capital.

Many people noticed that something was wrong. The ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother all ran out of the palace, and looked at the fourth elder brother with a worried look on their faces.

The fourth elder brother knew that if he didn't tell them, the few people would only be more worried, so he called people into the study and briefly talked about the thirteenth elder brother.

Although he said it lightly, the elder brothers were terrified when they heard it.

The fourth elder brother actually took the thirteenth elder brother to plead guilty directly, and even took the initiative to take the errand of crossing the river. Several people were even more surprised and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The ninth elder brother felt that he was worthy of being the fourth elder brother, and he might not be so decisive to ask other people.

He turned his head and saw Elder Thirteen's face full of guilt, so he stepped forward and patted Elder Thirteen on the shoulder and said, "What is Xiao Shisan doing with this expression? Just pay attention."

To be honest, if he was the one who met the prince at that time, Brother Jiu might not be able to refuse, but he might be a little obsequious after going out, walk around outside the prison, and pay the guards to send things in, that's all. Brother is so honest.

But sincerity is not a bad thing, it is easy to be used by those who want to. Brother Jiu thinks that Brother Thirteen has learned this lesson, and he will definitely pay attention to it in the future.

"Fourth Brother, then we'll wait for you to come back!" Several people looked at Fourth Brother, hoping that he would come back to the capital soon.

The fourth elder brother patted the shoulders of the elder brothers and smiled: "Okay, you guys have to pay attention. Xiao Jiu is also married now, and she is the oldest among you. I'm not here, what's the matter with you?" Just discuss with each other, don't be impulsive and cause trouble, understand?"

The fourteenth elder brother muttered: "Fourth brother, what do you watch me do, I have become sensible recently, I should watch the tenth brother."

Elder Brother Ten was not happy: "What's the matter, I have been practicing calligraphy quite effectively recently, even Mr. Qin praised it!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, the fourth elder brother coughed dryly, and they quickly restrained themselves and stood up.

Brother Jiu pursed his lips and smiled and said, "Fourth brother, you are about to leave now, so don't worry about us anymore, I will keep an eye on the two of them, and I will never mess around!"

Elder Brother Ten was upset: "Aren't you the one who likes to mess up the most? What happened to the pawnshop before..."

Brother Jiu covered his mouth and said: "This matter is over, why bring it up!"

He practiced martial arts with Jiufu Jin for many days, and his strength gradually grew. Elder Brother Shi twisted and couldn't break free, his eyes widened in shock.

Brother Thirteen was originally frowning, but he was amused by Brother Ten's twisting and turning, and couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.

Brother Nine let go of Brother Ten, put his arms around Brother Thirteen's shoulders and said, "You should just smile, why bother to frown like Fourth Brother at such a young age!"

Seeing the fourth elder brother glaring over, the ninth elder brother winked back, isn't this to make the thirteenth elder brother happy?

The fourth elder brother also understands that the thirteenth elder brother has been guilty since the emperor made the decree. He has lost a lot of weight, and there is no smile on his face. own up.

Several people were talking, when Su Peisheng came forward and whispered: "Master Belle, the imperial concubine sent someone to invite you."

The fourth elder brother was startled, and understood that Concubine De might have heard some rumors, so he planned to ask himself.

He was about to open his mouth to enter the palace, but he was stopped by the fourteenth elder brother: "Emiang is probably asking about the errand of the fourth brother. I just want to go back to the palace. There is no need for the fourth brother to go all the way. I will go back and tell the fourth brother. gone."

Elder Fourteen secretly winked at Elder Ninth, and the latter said knowingly: "Yes, I also remembered that the homework left by Mr. Qin has not been finished, and the same is true for Xiao Ten, so we can go back to the palace together. We'll see you off on the day when fourth brother leaves."

After finishing speaking, the ninth elder brother hugged the tenth elder brother who wanted to say something, and hurried back to the palace with the fourteenth elder brother.

After getting into the carriage, Elder Brother Ten asked, "Didn't we finish Mr. Qin's homework yesterday? Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the palace? I still want to eat the food cooked by Chef Ma. Fourth Brother will take Chef Ma away. No matter how much we want to eat, we don’t know when we will have to wait.”

Ninth elder brother said unhappily: "You know how to eat. If there is something urgent, you should go back to the palace first. Anyway, fourth brother will always come back in the future. You can eat whatever you want."

He turned his head to look at Elder Fourteen again and said, "Are you going to Empress Defei's side alone, do you want us to go with you?"

Brother Fourteen waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll just tell Er Niang. Don't worry, Brother Nine, I won't let others know."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "You just have to know what's in your mind, then Xiao Shi, we'll go back first."

Elder Fourteen watched the two leave before going to Concubine De's bedroom.

Seeing him, Concubine De glanced back strangely: "Did the fourth child come with you?"

The fourteenth elder brother sat down in front of Concubine De carelessly, and waved his hand to signal that all the waiters had to leave.

Concubine De nodded lightly, all the palace people backed out, and she asked: "Why are you so secretive, what do you want to say to me alone?"

She thought it was Elder Fourteen who got into trouble again, and she was asking for her help, who knew that Elder Fourteen would turn around and simply tell about Elder Thirteen, the more Concubine De frowned the more she heard it.

The fourteenth elder brother finished talking and said: "I went to the fourth brother's house just now, and I heard that Er Niang wanted to see the fourth brother, so I knew that Er Niang wanted to ask this. The fourth brother is packing his luggage and preparing to go, tell me about it, I will Just tell Fourth Brother not to make another trip, and I'll explain it to Er Niang when I come back."

Concubine De was displeased and said: "Since the fourth child doesn't come to discuss with me, he decides on his own. What a virtue! And he went to cross the river for Shisan, didn't he think about it for you?"

The fourteenth elder brother was confused and said: "The fourth brother must have made the decision after careful consideration, why does it still have something to do with me?"

Concubine De was not happy: "Of course it has something to do, he has annoyed the emperor like this, what should the emperor do if he wants to turn his anger on you?"

The fourteenth brother was speechless: "Huang Ama is not such a person, and the fourth brother did nothing wrong."

Concubine De looked at her and frowned and said: "Why, you still said good things to the fourth child, what did he say to you, didn't he mislead you?"

Elder Fourteen waved his hands and said, "Fourth Brother didn't say anything, Er Niang, don't rush to get angry."

He stared at Concubine De, and said slowly: "Thirteenth brother is fourth brother's younger brother, and fourth brother will help carry it if something happens. If it were me, I believe fourth brother will do the same. Fourth brother is a good brother Isn't it? Is it possible that Er Niang wants to see Brother Thirteen or when something happens to me, Brother Four will stand by and watch, or avoiding it is the right thing to do?"

Concubine De lowered her face and said: "That's not what I mean, but this matter involves the crown prince, the fourth son should not get involved. Even if the thirteen generals have made atonement, just look at it, the emperor will not let him off easily."

What will happen to the fourth elder brother who protects the thirteenth elder brother?

The fourteenth elder brother looked at Concubine De and shook his head and said: "If the fourth brother is alone with Er Niang at this time, I will be afraid. And the fourth brother will definitely be able to do the job best when he goes to Yuehe, even if the thirteenth brother can't Completely break away from the relationship, can't stand up again, and it won't be worse than before."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said: "Okay, there is no need to talk about this matter, Er Niang, remember to keep it a secret, and don't let anyone else know about it except you and me. Otherwise, if it gets to Huang Ama's ears, then Oh no."

Concubine De became more and more frustrated when she heard it: "What do you mean, do you think I will casually publicize this matter?"

The fourteenth elder brother coaxed helplessly: "Emiang, that's not what I mean, it's just that I told Emiang about it, and the matter will rot in our stomachs, don't mention it again, okay?"

After being coaxed by him for a few words, Concubine De reluctantly nodded, and the matter was considered over.

No matter how hard they try to conceal the news, most people don't know, but there are no secrets in the palace, and soon the elder brother and the eighth elder brother knew about it.

Eldest Brother was in the warm room with Da Fujin at this time, and when he heard about it, he just sneered and said: "I told Fourth Brother before that following the prince will not end well. The credit is all the prince's, and if there is anything, it is his fault." Take the blame. This time it is the thirteenth, who knows if it will be the fourth child next time!"

There were only him and Da Fujin in the warm room, and they were not afraid of being overheard, so they spoke a lot bolder.

Da Fujin glared at him angrily and said: "Okay, I'll just say a few words about this. When I turn around, I'll pretend I don't know about this, and don't tell Mr. Ming about it."

Eldest brother was puzzled when he heard this: "Why do you dislike Ming Zhongtang so much, at least you are my elder!"

"Come on, it's not good for him to look for you every time. I forgot that you competed with the prince in the hunting ground last time. Didn't he suggest it? Later, what else was there except being reprimanded by the emperor, thinking that the prince would also be reprimanded?" Are you right, sir?"

Da Fujin's words made the elder brother a little embarrassed: "Ming Zhongtang didn't say that, so let me behave better and not be too inferior, so that the prince can steal the limelight."

Who knew that he couldn't even stop himself when he became crazy, wouldn't this make a mess?

Da Fujin said again: "There is still the last time, did you make you stumble when the crown prince supervised the country? Then the last time, no, it's still..."

"Okay, it's been a long time ago, and you still remember it quite clearly."

Eldest brother didn't think at first that being counted by Da Fujin like this, Mingzhu really cheated him every time he came, giving him all bad ideas, and every time it ended with the emperor reprimanding himself.

He didn't get any benefits, and he was scolded bloody, but the prince was pitied and praised.

Da Fujin still didn't stop talking: "Also, he is no longer Ming Zhongtang, but Doctor Guanglu."

Mingzhu has long been no longer used by the emperor, so he tried every means to return to the center of power, restore his original status, and benefit his descendants. Then the elder brother is the best springboard.

Even Da Fujin can see this, but the elder brother has been led by the nose by Mingzhu.

"Look, this Ming Zhongtang will come to persuade you again in a few days. I said that you are doing well, and I insist on adding trouble to you, just to make your impression in front of the emperor worse. The master is not for himself, but for the sake of the children." Da Fujin asked someone to hug the little elder brother over, he was sleeping soundly, with his little hands pressed to his mouth, and he pursed his lips, as if he was dreaming of eating delicious food .

Da Fujin's heart melted while holding the child, and he motioned for the elder brother to give him a hug.

The eldest elder brother said stiffly: "Many of us have grandchildren but not children... Forget it, there are no outsiders here anyway."

He took the swaddling baby carefully, looked at his son who was sleeping soundly, and gradually agreed with Da Fujin's words in his heart.

It doesn't matter how he is reprimanded by the emperor, if he makes his son feel ugly in front of the emperor, it is really his fault, Ama.

Just as the elder brother was thinking, there was a porter outside to report that Mingzhu had come again.

Da Fujin looked over with a look of "as expected", and the eldest elder brother was very depressed and said: "Please ask him to go to the front, I will go right away."

He turned his head and said to Da Fujin: "Don't worry, I will get rid of people well this time, and they will never come to me again."

The elder brother thought of a way to transfer. Mingzhu obviously wanted to return to the emperor. He didn’t have the ability, but others did, so he said, “I don’t want Huang Ama to like me for many years. Ming Zhongtang thinks about those things I can't do it at all, but the eighth brother has been praised by Huang Ama many times recently."

Mingzhu looked down on the eighth elder brother's background, but to be honest, the eighth elder brother did have more face in front of the emperor than the eldest elder brother.

After the emperor's southern tour, he specially hired a calligrapher for the eighth elder brother, obviously looking forward to him.

But as long as the goal can be achieved, Mingzhu doesn't mind helping a group of eighth elder brothers, so she tentatively said: "Eldest elder brother really gave up, don't you plan to fight?"

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that the prince has completely fallen out of favor, and the emperor is also extremely disappointed with the prince. The position of the prince is precarious, and he will soon be replaced.

What Mingzhu valued the most was the eldest son's status. The heir was always either the heir or the eldest son. Once the crown prince fell, the eldest brother would be the most suitable candidate.

However, Big Brother is right, he has been disliked by the emperor since he was a child, even if he participates in the competition, it is impossible to succeed as Mingzhu expected.

Mingzhu stroked her beard and sighed: "Forget it, since Big Brother doesn't have such thoughts, then Big Brother Lao will recommend Eighth Brother to this old man."

The elder brother turned his head and invited the eighth elder brother to come to the house: "It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let the two of you meet today."

The eighth elder brother was surprised to be called over, and he was a little dazed when he saw Mingzhu.

The eldest elder brother said: "I didn't think so, but I thought that the eighth brother has always been smart, and he was the youngest Baylor when he was rewarded. Recently, the eighth brother is very appreciated by Huang Ama, so I recommend one or two. If the eighth brother Brother doesn’t want to either, so just pretend I didn’t say anything today.”

The eighth brother's heart skipped a beat, how could he not think about it, that was simply too much, but he didn't expect that the eldest brother would give up directly and introduce Mingzhu to himself?

He hastily waved his hands modestly and said: "Brother is a big praise, but my younger brother is not that outstanding. Huang Ama invited me a master, and she also hoped that my calligraphy would improve a lot."

The eldest elder brother smiled and said: "If Huang Ama didn't like it, why would he bother to find a master for the eighth brother? Could it be that among us brothers, the eighth brother's handwriting is not good enough? Not to mention the older ones, those little ones Is it good?"

Except for Brother Thirteen, who is a hard-working genius, which of the little brothers in the back can write a good handwriting to win the emperor's appreciation!

The eighth elder brother had a slight thought, and after seeing Mingzhu, he didn't discuss too much, so they went back separately.

Big brother also wondered that eighth brother left without saying much to Mingzhu, and didn't stay to eat with him.

Da Fujin thought to himself that he was like the eighth elder brother. Since he took over Mingzhu, the two of them would not forcefully negotiate with the eldest elder brother, otherwise everyone would know about the brain and mouth of the eldest elder brother. Negotiated privately.

In order not to offend Elder Brother, she praised: "I still have a way, so I will send Master Ming away."

The elder brother was praised so that he felt comfortable, turned his head and heard the angry cry of the younger brother, and went over to take a look, his mind was on his son, and the matter with the eighth elder brother was naturally forgotten.

Da Fujin was not as big-hearted as he was, so he still sent someone to pay attention, not daring to get too close, and not daring to inquire too much, as long as the eighth elder brother didn't get involved in the eldest elder brother again, it was enough.

Then she got the news that Eighth Prince invited a magician named Zhang Mingde to come in.

Da Fujin was taken aback, he didn't expect to get such news, did Eighth Brother also start to believe in the magic stick?

It's a pity that she won't be able to find out more, and she can't help but feel a little sorry.

The eighth elder brother found out that Zhang Mingde was such a fortune teller, so he specially invited him to come over. At first, he just wanted to calculate for himself, when he would have children under his knees.

However, after Zhang Mingde entered the study, he pinched his fingers and said, "Eighth prince has a long life, is very noble, and is a sign of great nobility!"

Hearing these words, Brother Ba's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly: "Sir, please sit down, this is a serious statement, but what is the fate of my children?"

Zhang Mingde closed his eyes and pinched his fingers for a moment before saying: "Eighth elder brother is too expensive, it is not easy for ordinary children to devote themselves to the backyard, and we have to wait for a few years."

The eighth elder brother was a little disappointed, but also a little expectant, after all, Zhang Mingde repeated the word "nobility" repeatedly.

When it comes to extravagance, who can not think too much?

"Waiting for a few more years is how many years, isn't it more specific?"

Eighth Fujin suddenly came in from the door, obviously not letting anyone know, Eighth Brother is also used to it, just smiled and asked people to sit down: "Why is Qingqing here?"

Hearing this, Ba Fujin said: "Isn't it because I heard that my lord invited a powerful gentleman over, and I planned to listen to a few words at the door, so I couldn't help but come in."

Hearing that the eighth elder brother will have an heir, how can she stand still!

Zhang Mingde pinched his fingers, shook his head at Fujin and said: "Don't be impatient, Fujin, this matter can't be rushed."

Seeing him hesitant to speak, Bafujin was very unhappy, but was persuaded by Ba Ge to go back first.

"Speak, Fujin is not here, if you have anything to say, you can speak up."

Only then did Zhang Mingde helplessly say: "This old man really doesn't want to say this, but after seeing Ba Fujin, he had to tell Ba elder brother. Judging from Ba Fujin's appearance, this child is not very well-known."

The relationship with children is not deep, which means that it is difficult for Bafu Jin to have children.

The eighth elder brother was full of surprise: "But what Mr. said just now..."

Doesn't it mean that he will have a child in a few years, but that Fujin has no destiny for children. This proves that the child did not come out of Fujin's belly?

The eighth elder brother frowned and said, "It's better for Mr. to rot in his stomach and never mention it again."

To be heard by Fujin, I don't know how sad she is!

Zhang Mingde responded again and again, and said: "Brother Ba is surrounded by a few streaks of purple energy, there must be a few brothers who will help with all their strength, so we can get twice the result with half the effort."

The eighth elder brother only nodded slightly, and asked the attendant to arrange for Zhang Mingde to live in the small courtyard.He thought that the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother were getting closer to the fourth elder brother before, and now the fourth elder brother may have to leave for several years, which is also a good opportunity to get close to them again.

The fourth elder brother packed up, and after meeting with the thirteenth elder brother, he was ready to go.

This time Geng Yi set off with Nanny Hu and Rusui, and Ruyu was left to look after the house.

Even though the fourth elder brother said that it would not be very difficult there, there were too many people talking, and Ruyu, who was too jumpy, was not suitable to follow.

Ruyu stood outside the carriage with tears in her eyes, very reluctant to part with Geng Yi.

Geng Yi waved his hand helplessly and said: "Go back, take a good look at the house, I will check when I come back."

Ruyu nodded repeatedly and said: "Master, don't worry, the servant must take good care of the yard and clean it every day."

Over there, Si Fujin came out with Honghui in his arms, and the fourth elder brother touched Honghui's little head with some reluctance, and confessed to Si Fujin: "If there is anything wrong with it, you can go to the ninth or fourteenth brother for small matters. For important matters, just go to the palace and find Huang Ama."

Si Fujin nodded and wrote it down, anyway, it was just to let her not disturb Concubine De.

After the fourth elder brother explained, he greeted the thirteenth elder brother to get on the carriage, and set off immediately without any delay.

It was only now that the sky was getting brighter, and Geng Yi looked at the clean streets outside, thinking that a group of them could also leave the capital peacefully.

Who knew that as soon as they arrived at the city gate, a guard came up ahead to report: "The fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are ahead."

The fourth elder brother was startled, and after getting out of the car, he saw several people coming on horseback, got off the horse and said, "Fourth elder brother!"

"Why are you all here?"

The elder brothers guessed that they rushed to the city gate to wait for themselves as soon as the palace gate opened, and the fourth elder brother patted the shoulders of them helplessly and said, "Thank you very much."

Thank you for coming to see him off!

The thirteenth elder brother came down with red eye circles, and was ridiculed by the ninth elder brother: "The thirteenth brother is already such a big man, why do you always cry?"

Embarrassed by what he said, the thirteenth brother lowered his head and sniffled, and was hugged by the tenth brother: "Don't listen to the ninth brother, the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother take care of themselves, and we will have a big meal together when you come back! "

Fourteenth brother pushed tenth brother away and said, "Tenth brother, don't worry about eating, but let's remember what is delicious, and we will taste it together when fourth brother comes back!"

The elder brothers can't stay at the gate of the city for too long, and soon there will be people queuing up to leave the city, so the fourth elder brother urged them: "Hurry up and go back."

Brother Nine said: "Fourth brother go first, we will watch you. By the way, this is my amulet for fourth brother, and I specially went to the temple to consecrate it."

The fourth elder brother had no choice but to accept it, so he had to get on the carriage again, and the convoy continued to move forward. After walking a long way, he saw several people standing at the gate of the city watching him leave.

He felt warm in his heart, and felt that his younger brothers were really caring.

The fourth elder brother took the brocade box given by the ninth elder brother. After opening it, besides the amulet, there was actually a stack of silver notes.

He counted, these should be all the money left in the hands of Brother Nine after replenishing the national treasury, and he gave it all to himself.

Geng Yi glanced at it and was also surprised, if the ninth elder brother was most reluctant to part with money, yet he gave so much money to the fourth elder brother, it shows that in the ninth elder brother's heart, the fourth elder brother is more important than money!

The fourth elder brother was even more surprised than Geng Yi, and solemnly put away the brocade box, intending not to use the banknotes inside if there was nothing to do, and bring it back to the ninth elder brother later.

Brother Jiu was full of reluctance when he returned it to the national treasury. He was willing to give it to himself, but he might also feel pain in his heart.

It is not far from Yuehe River, and it will take more than half a month to go south.

They have been rushing on the road, occasionally resting at the post station halfway, and occasionally resting directly in the carriage.

The fourth elder brother was worried that Geng Yi couldn't take it anymore, so he asked the old doctor to come over for a pulse check from time to time.

Even if Geng Yi knows a little bit of pharmacology, it is better for the doctor to let the old doctor feel the pulse if he doesn't heal himself.

Fortunately, her body is still strong, and she got used to it slowly, except that she was a little unaccustomed to it at the beginning.

Geng Yi understood that the fourth elder brother did not want to disturb too many people on the road, so he cooperated very much.

When we arrived at the place, the local officials had already prepared a large and spacious yard for the fourth elder brother, but he rejected it immediately after seeing it: "Just prepare a yard near the Yuehe River. It doesn't have to be too big, just clean and tidy."

The fourth elder brother is pragmatic and feels that there is no need to waste time on the road. The closer to the river, the easier it is to go back and forth.

How dare the local officials let the fourth elder brother live in a dilapidated small house. After searching around, he found a squire's other courtyard. It is really not big, and it is close to the river. It is dusty and smelly because no one has lived in it for a long time. It has been newly built for a few years. The house is not shabby either.

The fourth elder brother saw that it was not far from the river, and the yard was big enough for him to live with Geng Yi, the thirteenth elder brother in the front yard could also live there, and the accompanying guards could make do with it, so he nodded.

As soon as he nodded, Su Peisheng led the servants to clean up the yard, and Chef Ma led the apprentices to start tidying up the kitchen. Everything must be as clean as new.

After a busy day, the yard was finally tidied up, and the fourth brother and the others settled down temporarily.

Since the first day of settling in should be a hot stove, Geng Yi thought that they had to have a good meal.

Near the river, river freshwater is the most, and fish food is indispensable.

Because there were not many people there, and they were not outsiders, the fourth elder brother didn't let Geng Yi eat at a separate table, but sat down together.

The thirteenth elder brother has been rushing over, a little thinner, and his spirit is not bad.

He must have felt that he was being punished for coming here, and he could also help the fourth elder brother, so he became motivated.

Soon Mammy Hu came over with dishes, and the first dish served was a pot, Brother Thirteen asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, shall we eat pot tonight?"

Geng Yi shook his head and said: "Although it's still a bit chilly today, it's not cold. In addition, the two elder brothers are getting angry, so they can't eat the pot. This is a stewed fish pot, using fresh Zhan fish After washing, cut into pieces and stir-fry for a while, then add water to stew, and add tofu when it is almost cooked."

Today, because of the tidying up of the new yard, several people just ate some dry food during the day, and they are also hungry now.

The fourth elder brother picked up chopsticks for both the thirteenth elder brother and Geng Yi, and they ate together.

Brother Thirteen is blowing hot tofu. The tofu has the freshness and sweetness of fish juice. When eating the fish, there is also the fragrance of tofu. After eating, the stomach is warm, and it is also good to eat with rice.

If you pour the fish juice in the pot on the rice, the rice will also have the aroma of fish and tofu.

The second dish is fish balls, and it is not the first time that Brother Thirteen has eaten fish balls. After taking a bite of fish balls, he couldn't help but ask with wide eyes, "Sister-in-law, is there crab roe in it?"

Geng Yi smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, it just so happened that Chef Ma made dried crab roe sauce at the mansion before, and brought it along with him, so he stuffed the crab roe into the fish balls."

She also ate one. In addition to crab roe, Chef Ma also put chopped winter bamboo shoots, fungus and ham in it, which not only added umami taste, but also very refreshing.

The fish balls are boiled in chicken soup, which makes the fish balls more delicious.

I don't know how Chef Ma manages to clean and organize the kitchen without forgetting to serve the chicken soup.

Followed by a dish of crystal chicken, using a small hen.First put the Codonopsis ginseng and wolfberry in the water and boil it together before putting the whole chicken in. Turn it back and forth for half an hour and it will be out of the pot.

The chicken has a faint smell of Codonopsis ginseng and wolfberry. Brother Thirteen feels that this is a dish, but it is more like a medicinal meal.

The fourth elder brother asked: "Is there anything special about this dish?"

Geng Yi explained: "This is a medicinal diet, which has the effect of strengthening the body."

In fact, it is used to improve immunity. They must be very tired when they have been on the road. They don’t feel tired when they are on the road. When they relax, the body is easy to relax. The immunity is not as good as before, and it is easy to get sick. This is an early prevention. Two.

The thirteenth elder brother said with emotion: "Let my sister-in-law worry about it."

The fourth elder brother also nodded, and gave them a crystal chicken with chopsticks, asking them to eat more.

The portions of several dishes are not small, and they finished them all in the end. The thirteenth elder brother showed a tired look, so he was urged by the fourth elder brother to go back and get ready to take a bath and then go to bed early: "Tomorrow, I will have a day off, and I will start to get busy the day after tomorrow. gone."

Elder Brother Thirteen opened his mouth. In fact, he wanted to say that he would be busy tomorrow, so he could do it.

However, he had been on the road for so many days, and he was indeed tired. You Qi felt exhausted after he stopped, so he obediently went back to take a bath and rest.

The fourth elder brother also asked the old doctor to take the pulse of the thirteenth elder brother. He was relieved when he learned that the thirteenth elder brother was just tired and had nothing else to do, and asked him to take Geng Yi's pulse.

Geng Yi pushed the fourth elder brother and said: "You should check the pulse first."

The old doctor took advantage of the situation and took the pulse of the fourth elder brother. The conclusion was similar to that of the thirteenth elder brother, but a little tired. He was stronger than the thirteenth elder brother, but better.

There is nothing wrong with taking Geng Yi's pulse, but she is not as strong as the two older brothers, so she needs to take a good rest.

The fourth elder brother sent the old doctor away to settle in the front yard, and took a brief bath with Geng Yi. The two of them were also tired. After he lay down with his arms around Geng Yi, both of them fell asleep.

They didn't wake up until it was three o'clock in the morning. It was the first time that the fourth elder brother slept so late. When he looked up, he saw Su Peisheng standing by the door anxiously, hesitating whether to come in and wake him up. He let him go and fell asleep. Geng Yi, wearing a robe after staying at the bed, motioned for Su Peisheng to go a little further before asking, "What's the matter?"

Su Peisheng looked around, and then reported in a low voice: "Master, there is news from the capital. The emperor has decided to issue an edict to depose the crown prince despite the objections of all his ministers."
