[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Geng Yi received Geng Jin's letter, and after reading it, he was very happy and said: "Yes! That's how it should be!"

Unexpectedly, all these people's cleverness was used in bad intentions, which almost ruined Geng Jin's reputation.

Sure enough, there are bear parents behind the bear children, and the children can be said to be naughty. These parents are so old, are they all living in vain?

She was also worried that the fourth elder brother would hear the gossip outside and misunderstand Geng Jin. When he came over at night, he quickly took out the letter and briefly explained the matter.

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know all about this."

Only then did Geng Yi realize that he was flustered for a while, forgetting that the fourth elder brother had many eyes in the capital, Geng Jin didn't need to tell Geng Jin himself about the matter over there, the fourth elder brother might have already got the exact news, so he sighed and said : "I didn't expect such a person to come out of the Geng family. Obviously, the patriarch and elders are very good people."

She thought about it for a long time. When Yuan Shen was a child, she met the head of the Geng family and several elders. They were all upright and kind people.

Who would have thought that there would be such a clansman among them, it's fine if they make a mistake and don't admit it, but they will beat them back!

The fourth elder brother shook his head and said, "There are a few people like this everywhere, so you don't have to worry too much about it."

He wouldn't think that there were one or two bad people in the Geng family's family, so he would think that there were no good people in the Geng family, and he didn't have to directly deny everyone.

Geng Jin and Geng Yin have good personalities, and they are dedicated to their errands. It is obvious that the Geng family has a good family style.

If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam must be crooked. Looking at these two brothers, one can tell that the Geng family is mostly good.

The fourth elder brother frowned slightly, thinking that in the court today, the twelfth elder brother's uncle Tuo Heqi was dismissed by the emperor on the grounds of illness, and the emperor promoted Longkodo to replace Tuo Heqi as the infantry commander.

He had only seen Tuo Heqi in the palace two days ago, his face was flushed, and there was no sign of illness?

To say that Tuoheqi's illness is just a superficial reason is actually to dismiss him.

The fourth elder brother vaguely heard the rumor that he might have something to do with the prince, and his brows frowned even tighter.

After the crown prince was reinstated, his temperament was no longer as cautious and steady as before, and he had a reckless and decisive look.

The forehead was stroked by Geng Yi, and the fourth elder brother came back to his senses.

Geng Yi said: "My lord, what are you thinking, my brows are almost knotted when I look at it."

The fourth elder brother grabbed her little hand and said helplessly: "It's just a little trouble outside. Fortunately, the Geng family is safe and there is no trouble."

It seems that there is something in the words, whose relatives are making trouble?

Geng Yi thought about going back to reply to Geng Jin, asking him to tell the patriarch to discipline and beat the clansman well, so that nothing like this would happen again.

At that time, it will not only be Geng Jin and Geng Yin who will be involved, but also her side Fujin, not to mention the other clansmen.

Geng Jin and Geng Yin have done a good job, and the tribe will have a chance in the future, otherwise everyone will have to suffer together.

It's just that Geng Yi also wondered, why did the Zangshu Pavilion catch fire by such a coincidence?

In fact, she was also worried in her heart that she had been making excuses about the library, if there were no such books in it, she would have to reveal her secrets.

Fortunately, the fourth elder brother believed in Geng Yi, and did not send anyone to really investigate, even the emperor seemed to be the same, otherwise how could Geng Yi sit here properly!

Geng Yi thought about it, it was time for her to meet the Geng family.

It just so happened that the fourth elder brother saw Geng Yi was angry and worried, so he deliberately asked the Geng family to come and see him.

Counting it, Geng Yi hasn't seen his family for several years since he entered the mansion.

Now that she happened to be pregnant, she could completely feel at ease when she saw her family.

Geng Yi was overjoyed when he found out: "Really? Thank you, Lord!"

Seeing her so happy, the fourth elder brother also laughed.

Since he opened his mouth, someone from the Geng family would come soon.

Geng Jin came with his wife. After all, the backyard is not a place where male guests can set foot, even if he is Geng Yi's pro-Ama. He just took a look at it from a distance and followed Su Peisheng to the front yard to greet the fourth elder brother.

Mrs. Geng was led by Rusui to meet Geng Yi in the backyard. Geng Yi couldn't sit still and wanted to go to the door to see, but Madam Hu was afraid that she would be blown away, so she tried to persuade people to stay in the house.

Geng Yi was walking back and forth in the room, and stopped when he heard footsteps.

It didn't take long for a woman in her forties to be brought in by Rusui. Geng Yi's eyes turned red when she saw it, and that kind feeling immediately hit her heart.

And this face was the same as the one she had seen in photos countless times, Geng Yi opened his mouth and said, "Er Niang."

"Hey," Mrs. Geng looked at her daughter whom she hadn't seen for a long time, feeling that she had grown up a lot, thinking that she might have suffered in places she didn't see, and the circles of her eyes were also red.

When Madam Hu brought refreshments, she led the maids to retreat to the door, waiting for orders at any time, but they couldn't hear the two talking inside.

Geng Yi took a step forward to support Madam Geng's arm and let her sit down. Madam Geng quickly said: "Sit down quickly, you still have your body. It's not uncomfortable when you're pregnant, are you starting to feel sick?"

Hearing this, Geng Yi smiled and said: "No, this child is very well-behaved, and he never tormented me. I will eat well and sleep well, but I am not very fat."

She felt that she ate and slept well, but she didn't gain weight, and she didn't know where she ate.

Only then did Mrs. Geng smile and said: "I was like this when I was pregnant with you. I ate well and didn't have any taboos. I like hot and sour. My master got angry after eating too much. My mouth grew foamy, but I didn't care about anything. No."

Geng Yi smiled and said, "So I look like Er Niang, that's great."

Mrs. Geng was completely relieved. It would be great if her daughter was like her, and she would not suffer any serious crimes during pregnancy: "I gave birth to you very well, and it took a long time for me to work. Even Wen Po said I've never seen such a well-behaved child, and he doesn't bother me at all. This child is also like you, and he will be a good child in the future."

Geng Yi held Mrs. Geng's hand and landed on his flat stomach: "I don't know if this child is a little princess like me, or a little elder brother."

Madam Geng caressed her gently, and said with gentle eyes: "Anything is fine, as long as you are safe and healthy."

She brought a sandalwood tablet with the word "An" engraved on it, which looked old for some years: "This was given to me by Er Niang back then, and now it is also given to you. It was consecrated by an eminent monk."

Mrs. Geng put it on for Geng Yi, held her hand, glanced outside and said in a low voice, "Over at the Library Pavilion, your father slowed down his confidant so that the little half could be set ablaze. It’s almost there. You Ama suddenly remembered that there are some shameful banned books in it, which were left by the ancestors, so it’s not easy to deal with them directly.”

It happened that those children slipped into the library and lit the bookshelves. Geng Jin simply made a mistake, took a little slower, burned two more nearby bookshelves, and burned some banned books, without anyone noticing.

It was only then that Geng Yi suddenly realized that there were indeed a few books in her impression that she had flipped through and only half-knowledged about them, and now they thought they were not suitable for outsiders to see.

In fact, if she hadn't shown her hand around the fourth elder brother, no one would have noticed the library of the Geng family.

Geng Jin didn't go into the Library Pavilion very often, and he didn't know much about books. Geng Yin had gone in when he was a child, and suddenly remembered this. Why did Geng Jin Zhengchou burn it unknowingly, and those brats gave him the opportunity.

Mrs. Geng sat up straight again and straightened Geng Yi's clothes, and said with a smile: "You, Ama, and I are fine, you just need to rest assured."

Geng Yi nodded with a smile, looked at Mrs. Geng hesitating for a while and couldn't help but asked, "Don't Er Niang feel that I have changed?"

Mrs. Geng said: "You have been married for several years, how could it not have changed?"

After hearing this, Geng Yi could only ask tentatively: "Er Niang doesn't think I know more and become much smarter than before?"

This time Mrs. Geng understood, held her hand and said with a smile: "When you were at home, you didn't know when you were young. It was the same with your ancestor back then. When he was young, he was no different from others. When he grew up, he suddenly became enlightened one day. Leaving a warning, I only know that there may be such acquired intelligent children in the family in the future, so don't be surprised."

"It's a pity. It has never appeared in so many years. I didn't expect it to be my daughter."

With a proud look on her face, she turned to comfort Geng Yi and said, "This matter is a secret in the clan. I'm afraid it will be known by outsiders. It's just passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth from the patriarch. It was also the year before last that the patriarch came here to have a secret talk with you, Ama, in the study. I just found out about this, and you, Ama, were afraid that I would be worried, so you told me in private. It should have been told to you earlier, so you don't have to scare yourself."

Geng Yi felt the warmth from Mrs. Geng's palm, and his heart gradually settled down, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

She was still thinking about how to cover up the fact that she was not the original person, but she didn't expect that the Geng family had already helped to justify it.

Geng Yi wondered for a moment, could it be that his ancestor also traveled through time?

In order to avoid revealing his secrets, he simply used this method to cover up, and also helped the fellow travelers who came later to find a reasonable excuse by the way?

No matter what, Geng Yi was grateful to this ancestor who might have been time-traveled, thinking that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would go to the temple to make a golden body for him?

She calculated the money on hand, and it was enough to build a smaller golden body.

If you save up a few more years of dividends, you can get a bigger and more decent golden body!

Mrs. Geng suddenly said again: "The Geng family is okay, except for those few who are not stingy with their brains, most of them are sensible and responsible. But my natal family heard that you became a side Fujin, and now there is no male in the family. Thinking, you want to adopt a half-grown boy for me."

Geng Yi was startled: "Is there such a thing? Did Ama agree?"

Mrs. Geng shook her head and said, "How is this possible? It's not like we don't have children, so why adopt someone else's family? Besides, it's a ten-year-old child, already a governor. Although the child's biological mother passed away, his mother is still there, how can he adopt him?" As for people, how can they feel at ease?"

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what this is, and it's as if the two of them are fools.

Geng Jin Guji is Mrs. Geng's natal family, and it is already very face-saving not to beat him out directly, and the other party is still reluctant.

Mrs. Geng also lost her temper, and went directly to her mother's house to lose her temper, and no one dared to mention it again.

Geng Yi blinked, and felt that Mrs. Geng in front of her looked gentle and gentle, and she could settle down when she went home and lost her temper. She really couldn't imagine it.

Mrs. Geng stroked Geng Yi's black hair and whispered: "Don't look at Er Niang now, she used to be a good wielder of knives and guns, and you, Ama, are not my opponent. This matter is my elder brother's decision to help you get married , I only found out after I went back that my Ama and Er Niang didn’t know about it, they had already taught my brother a good lesson, and this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.”

Of course, the lesson is not enough. Mrs. Geng's martial arts are deeply passed down by A Ma and Er Niang, but her brother didn't inherit much, and was beaten up by the family of three and left behind closed doors to think about it.

I heard that this elder brother was coaxed to go to the gambling house after he was drunk and lost a lot of money. The other party proposed to adopt a child for his sister, and then the money could be written off.

And such a good thing, my brother naturally agreed, so the next thing happened.

Mrs. Geng's Ama and Erniang felt that this elder brother needed to close the door to teach him well, and she also deeply agreed.

Geng Yi was stunned when he heard that, for a moment he didn't know whether to say Mrs. Geng was as tough as her natal family, or this uncle was too easy to be deceived.

"It was okay to have my sister-in-law staring at me before, but recently my sister-in-law has gone back to her mother's house, and it will be fine when she comes back."

Geng Yi always felt that this sister-in-law was equally tough, and immediately began to feel a little sympathetic to the uncle who was not impressed.

Mrs. Geng said softly: "It wasn't so lively when you first entered the mansion. It's not because you have been favored recently, and you were promoted as a side Fujin, and the fourth elder brother was reused by the emperor again and again. Someone outside was tempted. You too Don't worry, you, Ama, and I will keep an eye on it, and will never let these messy things disturb you. I'm afraid that you may hear embellishments from others, so I'll tell you about it, so that you know what's going on. "

Geng Yi said with guilt all over his face, "It's because I got Ama and Erniang into trouble that there are so many things going on."

Mrs. Geng shook her head with a smile and said: "You have been sensible since you were a child, and you didn't worry the two of us. Now that your life is getting better and better, it's too late for us to be happy, so it's not called trouble? We are Ama and Erniang, don't we? Are you protecting you at this time? These people are just taking the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes, but because of their power, they know how to pick the weak persimmons to attack. Don't worry, there will be no next time."

At the end of her speech, she laughed a little coldly, and Geng Yi felt that the uncle might not be released in a short time.

Originally Geng Yi wanted to keep Mrs. Geng to have dinner with her, but Mrs. Geng shook her head and said, "No, it's rare for our husband and wife to come to the mansion to see you, and it's not good to stay for a long time."

Seeing Geng Yi's face full of reluctance, Mrs. Geng said: "Your Mama has begged the fourth elder brother to let me come and accompany you when you give birth."

Hearing that he could see Mrs. Geng again half a year later, Geng Yi laughed.

Mrs. Geng saw that she was smiling, so she followed suit and said suddenly: "By the way, I brought food here, and I almost forgot."

The maid was outside with the food box, and Nanny Hu brought it in.

Geng Yi opened the food box and smiled: "Er Niang, is this Ciba?"

Mrs. Geng smiled and nodded, "You liked this very much when you were a child. I made some in the morning. I know that your taste has changed recently during pregnancy. You probably like salty and spicy. like."

Geng Yi laughed and said, "As long as Er Niang makes it, how can I not like it?"

Seeing that her daughter is much more lively than before and can talk, Mrs. Geng is even happier.

The fact that Geng Yi has become lively and cheerful proves that she is indeed doing well in the fourth elder brother's house, and she can feel more at ease.

It was getting late, Mrs. Geng got up to leave, Geng Yi personally sent her to the second gate, watched her go a long way before returning.

As soon as they separated, Geng Yi already missed Mrs. Geng a little bit.

Mother Hu hurriedly persuaded: "Master, do you want to eat this glutinous rice cake?"

Geng Yi just remembered this, picked up a piece and took a bite, it was really salty and spicy, especially pleasing to the mouth.

The skin is very thin, and the inside is filled with stuffing. One bite is full of salty and fragrant taste, which makes people quite satisfied.

Ciba is quite troublesome to make. The outside is made of glutinous rice, and it takes time to steam it slowly before it tastes good.Mrs. Geng came to see her so early, so why don't she get up in the middle of the night to do it?

She ate two in silence, feeling that what she ate was not Ciba, but Madam Geng's wishes.

It was Hu Momo who was afraid that Geng Yi would not be able to eat if he ate too much, so she stopped.

A few days later, eunuch Gao personally came over to ask the fourth elder brother to go to the palace, saying that the emperor had summoned him.

The fourth elder brother was surprised, and asked Su Peisheng to stuff a purse into the eunuch Gao before asking: "Dare to ask Gao Banban, Huang Ama only called me, or is there someone else?"

If he asked what was going on, even eunuch Gao didn't know, and even if he knew, he wouldn't dare to say it.

But the fourth elder brother asked if there was anyone else, it was not a secret, so eunuch Gao said: "Back to the fourth elder brother, all the ministers and elder brothers have been invited over."

He wasn't the only one, the emperor must have announced something, and the fourth prince only had time to tell Si Fujin before rushing into the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, the ninth elder brother hurried over as soon as he saw the fourth elder brother, followed by the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers: "Fourth elder brother is here too?"

He looked puzzled, and he didn't understand why the emperor suddenly called them all over.

Brother Jiu also lowered his voice and said: "Fourth brother, I just looked around, and the ministers of the household department, the military department and the punishment department have also come, and almost all the civil and military officials have been called over."

Not to mention the elder brother, the prince, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother, he said again: "Little Twelve was also called here, and Tuo Heqi is also there."

Speaking of this, Brother Nine got closer: "Fourth brother, this Tuo Heqi doesn't look sick at all, at most his face is a bit ugly."

But they have all been dismissed, can Tuo Heqi look good?

The fourth elder brother patted the ninth elder brother on the shoulder, motioning him to stand up straight: "Don't worry, you will find out later?"

Brother Jiu's heart was scratching like thousands of cat's paws, he was so curious.

However, he also understood that the fourth elder brother would say that, and it must be a big deal. It would be better not to ask or not to ask, so he just stood up honestly.

They didn't wait long before the emperor came out and asked the minister directly: "You are all people who have been used by me for many years. You have been favored by the saints, but you betrayed me and attached yourself to the crown prince. What is your intention?"

This is a serious question, and I almost didn't ask why these ministers formed a party for personal gain, or for the crown prince!

Before the emperor died, these ministers turned against the prince. Is this trying to force the palace?

Brother Nine's eyes widened, he didn't expect this direction at all.

The ministers knelt down and shouted their innocence one by one, and they almost hit the pillar to show their innocence.

The elder brother frowned and looked at the prince who had lost a lot of weight beside him and knelt down, and the fourth elder brother also knelt down with his younger brothers.

The prince also knelt down with a pale face, but didn't say anything.

The emperor was so angry that his face darkened, he waved his hands and said, "Twelve, come here and read this."

Elder Brother Twelve was confused when he was called over, but now he was called by the emperor and quickly took the letterhead from Li Dequan, his face turned pale after reading a few lines.

The emperor glanced at him and said, "Read!"

Hearing this, Elder Twelve could only take a deep breath and read: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment accepted 3000 taels of bribes, Tuo Heqi accepted bribes of 2400 taels, and Shangshu of the Ministry of War accepted bribes of 1000 taels. The minister of the Ministry of Finance colluded with the members of the household department to withhold tax revenue from Tanhe, And bought several eunuchs to deliver news inside and outside the palace."

The other courtiers were in an uproar, and most of the elder brothers also showed shocked expressions.

Brother Nine was a little confused. The previous ministers didn't accept much bribes. Who would give their lives for such a small amount of money?

He thought of a possibility, and looked at the fourth elder brother beside him in surprise.

The fourth elder brother nodded slightly to the ninth elder brother, indicating that his guess was correct.

Brother Nine was stunned, and Brother Ten beside him looked over curiously, not knowing what kind of riddle the two of them were playing, but at this moment he dared not ask.

The fourteenth elder brother pursed his lips, and vaguely guessed it, only looking at the pale twelve elder brother with a bit of sympathy.

This had nothing to do with Elder Brother Twelve in the first place. He obviously didn't know about it, but he was tricked by his own uncle!

Brother Twelve's biological mother, Dingpin, was not from a high family background and was not very favored, so she has always been cautious.In addition, Elder Brother Twelve was raised by Aunt Su Ma, and his temperament is also very calm and law-abiding, never getting involved in any fights.

It's a pity that my uncle Tuo Heqi was promoted to the commander of the infantry because of the relationship between the twelfth elder brother, but he turned around and climbed up to the prince, accepted bribes, and wanted to use the dragon's merits to forcefully involve the twelve elder brother!

The Imperial Forest Army stepped forward and arrested the Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Tuo Heqi. They bowed their heads and pleaded guilty on the spot, hoping that the emperor would show his noble hand and spare their lives.

They begged bitterly, they were no longer the usual high-ranking Shangshu adults, seeing the emperor was indifferent, they looked at the silent prince beside him.

The prince still didn't say a word to beg for mercy for them, and the hearts of several people suddenly became cold, and the whole person sank down.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take it away for interrogation, and see if any fish slip through the net!"

He saw anger and disappointment in the prince's eyes, but more fatigue, and motioned Li Dequan to take the prince back.

Needless to say, the prince will be grounded in the East Palace again.

The emperor looked around and said: "I think I have been kind to you all these years, but I have been disappointed in the end."

In fact, he didn't believe that several ministers were bought by the prince, and others would not.

It's just that the emperor caught the big fish, and the little fish let it go lightly. After all, the little fish couldn't make any waves.

But even if it was Xiaoyu, he would take this opportunity to beat them down to make these people calm down completely.

As soon as the emperor left, Brother Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now the emperor was as imposing as a knife, his eyes just swept over lightly, Brother Jiu felt his face hurt a little, it was really scary, he had never seen the emperor so angry.

The prince repeatedly intended to touch the emperor's Ni Lin, but he didn't know whether to say that he was too courageous or fearless, thinking that he would surely succeed!

Ninth elder brother wanted to leave this place quickly, grabbed tenth elder brother and fourteenth elder brother, went to fourth elder brother and said: "Fourth elder brother, we may have not been to your house for a long time, so choosing a date is worse than bumping into the sun, why not go today ?”

Elder Brother Ten said beside him: "Brother Ninth, do you want the food cooked by Ma Banban?"

Ninth elder brother glared at him, fourth elder brother nodded and said, "Okay, then let's come together."

The fourteenth brother hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Fourth brother, can I call the twelfth brother together?"

Brother Twelve was still standing there, with a pale and dazed look on his face, and no one around him dared to approach him.

The fourth elder brother glanced over and nodded quickly.

The fourteenth elder brother hurried over and grabbed the twelfth elder brother's arm, and dragged him forward: "We will go to the fourth brother's for dinner later, his cook's cooking tastes very good, the twelve elder brothers will go together ?”

Elder Brother Twelve was a little dazed and stopped after taking two steps. He hesitated and asked, "No, I'd better not go."

After all, what happened to Tuo Heqi, it would be bad to implicate a few of them.

The fourteenth elder brother was a bit hesitant, and the fourth elder brother came over and said, "It's nothing, Huang Ama has always kept a clear line between public and private affairs. Since the twelfth younger brother didn't know about it, how could Huang Ama blame you? The twelveth younger brother has never been to my house. As a guest, it happens that the brothers are all here, why not come together?"

He turned his head and asked Su Peisheng to go back to the house and explain to the kitchen to get ready as soon as possible.

The fourth elder brother had explained everything, but the twelfth elder brother was too embarrassed to refuse, and was hooked by the fourteenth elder brother on the carriage and went to Prince Yong's mansion together.

The eldest elder brother saw that the younger ones had followed the fourth elder brother, turned his head and asked the eighth elder brother, "Would the eighth elder brother want to sit at my house and have a glass of wine together?"

The eighth elder brother smiled wryly and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, I have to go back, next time."

Only then did the elder brother remember that it was strange that the eighth elder brother had to stare at Ma Qi every morning and evening, so he said, "Okay, then next time, what about the third brother?"

The third elder brother waved his hand and said, "I have to go back and continue to study, see you later."

The eldest elder brother shook his head, this third younger brother is completely obsessed with studying books, he is really a nerd, he feels strangely boring, so he can only go back and drink with Da Fujin.

Brother Twelve was absent-minded along the way, and Brother Ninth questioned each other, apparently not thinking about it.

Brother Nine showed a helpless expression to Brother Ten, and Brother Ten shrugged his shoulders to express his helplessness.

When Su Peisheng came back to deliver the news, Sifujin asked someone to clean up a flower hall and let the fourth elder brother entertain a few younger brothers.

Not long after a few people sat down, the kitchen delivered the food, and they smelled a strong fragrance as soon as they entered.

Brother Jiu asked curiously: "What did Ma Banban do today?"

The one who delivered the food was one of Chef Ma's apprentices, and quickly introduced: "Brother Jiu, this is a Farewell My Concubine."

Hearing this, Brother Jiu thought he had heard it wrong. He watched the hot crock put down, lowered his head to look carefully and asked, "Isn't this bastard and chicken?"

Elder Brother Shi laughed beside him and said, "Brother Nine, bastard is the overlord in reverse. Ji and chicken have the same pronunciation, so this dish is called that."

Brother Jiu is speechless, isn't it good to call turtle stewed chicken?

But don't say it, the name is quite unique, and it makes people curious.

And smelling the aroma is delicious, the soup is really delicious as soon as you eat it, Brother Jiu couldn't help squinting his eyes and said: "Ma Banban's craftsmanship is better, this soup is not bad."

The apprentice hurriedly thanked him by the side, and hurried back to deliver two dishes.

One braised pork knuckle and one eight-treasure pumpkin.

The braised pork knuckle is fat but not greasy, and the pumpkin tastes a little sweet. The pumpkin is also hollowed out and used as a porcelain bowl to serve dishes, which has a special flavor.

Then came a dish of braised pork ribs and a dish of steamed beef. The latter dish was sprinkled with spicy peppers. The beef was very soft and left a spicy aftertaste after eating.

Brother Jiu gasped, took a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "Fourth brother, this dish is a little too spicy."

The fourth elder brother had no expression on his face after taking a bite, and he didn't feel spicy at all. The ninth elder brother couldn't help but admire him very much, he is really good at eating spicy food!

"Let the kitchen send this dish back to Cian Fujin," the fourth elder brother explained to Su Peisheng, and ate another chopstick. It was indeed a dish that Geng Yi would like.

It felt like he ate too much with Geng Yi, and he ate spicy food more and more.

Elder Twelfth also gasped from the hotness, and his eye circles turned red. Elder Fourteen quickly poured him two cups of cold water to make him feel better.

The fourth elder brother was afraid that the twelfth elder brother would feel uncomfortable, so he said: "If you can't eat too spicy, you can also eat other dishes."

Elder Brother Twelve shook his head and said, "It was a bit spicy just now, and I was sweating all over, but after eating for a long time, I feel a little lighter all over, and the more I eat, the more delicious it becomes."

Although it is spicy, but the more he eats it, the more it tastes better, not to mention how delicious it is.

In the end, the twelfth elder brother was sweating from eating, his lips were slightly red and swollen, but his eyes were much brighter than before, and he didn't look so depressed and uncomfortable: "No wonder the ninth brother, the tenth brother and the fourteenth brother always say that the fourth brother's house The chef is so good, it really tastes very good."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "As long as the twelfth brother likes it, you can come with them as a guest next time."

Brother Twelfth nodded, thinking that if Brother Fourteen hadn't helped him just now, he might still be standing there with a face full of bewilderment. Concubine Ding and herself were filled with fear and anxiety.

Forget it by himself, he is absolutely unwilling to entrust Heqi to implicate Concubine Ding.

The birth mother was already cautious enough in the harem, and it was also because after giving birth to the twelfth elder brother that she was handed over to Aunt Su Ma to raise her, Ding concubine's life was easier.

Although the elder brothers didn't speak to appease them, and it wasn't suitable for them to discuss this matter at the dinner table, the twelve elder brothers could feel that they cared for him, and felt warm in their hearts.

Even if they didn't communicate frequently with each other before, their relationship wasn't that deep.

But when the twelfth elder brother was involved by Tuo Heqi innocently, these elder brothers did not avoid themselves, nor did they make trouble, but naturally took him to have dinner with him as a guest, just like ordinary brothers.

Brother Twelve smiled shyly and asked, "Fourth brother, my brother likes this dish with spicy peppers very much. Can I ask Ma Ban for a recipe?"

The fourth elder brother smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Chef Ma was not only happy, but also quickly brought several spicy dishes. The fourth elder brother took a glance and knew that these were Geng Yi's favorites recently, and they all tasted good.

The twelfth elder brother took the recipe and left first, the ninth elder brother said in disbelief: "The twelfth brother actually likes spicy food, I really can't tell."

The tenth elder brother also nodded with concern. Just now he and the fourteenth elder brother took a sip, and it was so hot that their tongues almost lost their feeling.

On the contrary, the fourth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother were like normal people, taking a bite with chopsticks, as if it was not spicy at all.

At any rate, the twelfth elder brother ate a few more mouthfuls and became sweaty. The fourth elder brother was still fine. The tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother immediately showed admiration to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "I'll get used to it if I eat too much, but it's not good to eat like this too often. I have to let the twelfth brother restrain himself a bit."

Don't eat too much spicy food, it will be troublesome if your body can't stand it.

Geng Yi was quite surprised to hear that Elder Twelve likes spicy food, and immediately thought of a recipe: "Did Ma Banban give Elder Twelve the recipe for mapo tofu? This dish is very spicy, and Elder Twelve Brother will definitely like it, and bibimbap is also very suitable.”

Mapo tofu is not troublesome to make. First fry the tofu slightly, then fry the chili peppers in a pan, then put the tofu in, add some water and cook for 2 minutes, it is delicious and convenient.

It’s just that Brother Twelve didn’t eat spicy food before, but suddenly he ate so spicy, he didn’t know if he would get angry or be constipated.

In addition to eating spicy food, drink more chrysanthemum cassia seeds to make tea, so as not to suffer the chrysanthemum.

Chrysanthemum and cassia seeds can also be used for cooking, such as chrysanthemum cassia seed porridge, cassia seed stewed eggplant, chrysanthemum fish, etc. Geng Yi asked Madam Hu to write these together with the recipe of mapo tofu, and gave it all to the fourth elder brother.

After the fourth elder brother saw it, he was sent to the twelfth elder brother's house.

Elder Brother Twelve smiled after seeing it: "I'm worried about Brother Four. I have nothing to do after eating, except for sweating, I can relax a lot."

But enough is enough, and we can't let down the care of the fourth elder brother.He planned to eat spicy dishes every few days, and add this chrysanthemum cassia dish or make tea to drink.

The interrogation of several ministers over there also came to an end after a few days. They admitted that the prince sent someone to find him, and asked them to use their rights to escort the prince all the way to the top. This was obviously planning to make the emperor abdicate as soon as possible. Very angry after knowing.

Because several people were involved in the fight for the crown prince, the punishments were extremely severe, and they were all executed after the fall.

Because Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment had made great achievements in his life, the emperor changed it to exile for three thousand miles when he approved it.

As for Tuo Heqi, because he also bribed the palace servants to deliver news, his sentence was changed to Ling Chi and executed!

When the news came out, the court ministers were shocked, and they could feel the fear of the emperor's anger.

After the fourth elder brother found out, he was a little worried that the twelfth elder brother would be implicated. Fortunately, after the emperor found out, he found that the twelfth elder brother and Ding concubine had nothing to do with Tuo Heqi.

After all, Concubine Ding is like an invisible person in the harem, the twelfth elder brother does not have a deep relationship with other elder brothers, let alone powerful in the palace, and has always kept himself safe.

Tuo Heqi didn't count on them either, so he bought another eunuch official, and the network behind him to pass the news inside and outside the palace.

Elder Brother Twelve and Concubine Ding didn't know about it, but Concubine Ding became more silent after knowing about Tuo Heqi.

The family wanted to send a letter to ask if Dingpin could save Tuo Heqi's life, even if it was changed to exile, he would still be alive.

However, after the palace people were rectified, no one dared to send any news to enter the palace, so they turned to the twelfth elder brother.

The twelfth elder brother was so annoyed that he had no choice but to go to Prince Yong's mansion to hide for a while, and by the way, find the fourth elder brother for dinner.

Those people didn't dare to go to the fourth brother's side to make trouble, and Tuo Heqi heard that he was going to be executed by Ling Chi in the prison, so he was so frightened that he had a high fever that night and died of illness within two days, so this matter will be over. .

Maybe Tuo Heqi was pulled up by the emperor, but he betrayed himself, which made the emperor very angry. Even if he died in prison, he was still sent to be ashes. Let it go easily!

The emperor was so angry with Tuo Heqi, let alone the prince who was brought up by himself.

Not long after, the emperor announced that the prince was deposed again!
