[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

The fourteenth elder brother set off in high spirits and rushed all the way.

The household department's grain and grass are only temporarily deployed, and the rest will be escorted all the way in batches.

After rushing to the vicinity of the western region, Brother Fourteen ordered the army to rest on the spot. After all, after resting, the next step would be a tough battle.

The guards quickly set up the tent, helped to set up the stove and started to boil the water. Brother Fourteen came over with a carry-on bag and signaled Lao Li to unfold the map.

The commanders of the Three Banners came into the tent one after another, the hot water had already been boiled, and the guards made tea and brought it up.

The fourteenth elder brother opened the bag, and it was all dried meat wrapped in oiled paper.

He motioned to the commanders to read the map while eating jerky and drinking tea. The commanders still couldn’t let go, but the fourteenth elder brother reached out and grabbed a piece of jerky without looking up, then gnawed on it, and said to them: “Eat, This is the handicraft of the chef in the fourth brother's house, and the taste is quite good."

Chef Ma made a lot with his apprentices, wrapped them in oiled paper, and put them separately. They were baked dry and crisp, and could be kept for a long time.

Brother Fourteen wants to eat anytime, just take it.

He gnawed it with relish, and the other commanders looked hungry, so they picked up a piece of jerky and gnawed it.

The jerky is crispy on the outside and tough on the inside. The seasoning is just right, and it goes well with tea.

They have been on their way, and they eat all their meals. They are also hungry now, and they ate several pieces in a row to fill their stomachs.

Some leaders also heard what the fourteenth elder brother said just now. It was made by the cook in the fourth elder brother's house. The relationship between the two brothers was much closer than what was said outside.

After all, when the younger brother went to war, the elder brother directly asked the cook to make so many jerky and send it to him.

Brother Fourteen gnawed a few pieces, clapped his hands, pointed to the map and said, "I have received the latest news that Junggar has arrived near here. The news may not be fast enough. I suspect that they have already come here."

With a flick of his fingertips, he walked a long way, and the commanders' eyebrows jumped when they saw it: "General, if Junggar gets here, wouldn't it mean that three cities in the western region have fallen?"

Brother Fourteen grabbed another piece of jerky, pointed to the other side and said, "Not necessarily, they probably took a detour."

It was one of the three cities that called for help, but the other two cities were easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Junggar only needs to capture the first city, and then cross the Gobi to bring troops in. There is no need to provoke the other two cities.

However, the other two cities have not sent letters for a long time. Either they were really taken by Junggar, or the other party defended the city gates and allowed Junggar to go around the city and leave.

No matter which one it is, it will not be good news for Brother Fourteen.

The brows of the commanders were all frowned, but the fourteenth brother's expression was still sparse and normal, as if he had expected it a long time ago: "You don't have to worry too much. The Gobi is very hot in the daytime but cold in the evening, and it is easy to get lost."

However, the Junggar tribe must have prepared enough to dare to cross the Gobi, and it is likely to bring a tour guide who is familiar with the road conditions.

"Even if they take a tour guide with them, if it is too hot during the day, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke, and if it is too cold at night, it is easy to catch wind chills, and there will inevitably be some downsizing and exhaustion. What we have to do is to recharge our batteries and let people take turns patrolling around the Gobi day and night. , just wait for them to come out."

The commanders were startled when they heard this, and the leader of Zhenglan Banner immediately said anxiously: "General, why don't we take the initiative to attack and wait for them to come out? We want the people of the Junggar tribe to rest on the spot after seeing the exit from a distance, and to recharge their batteries. If you come out later, wouldn’t you become a strong enemy?”

Elder Brother Fourteen glanced at him and said, "That's why we have people patrolling nearby. As long as we get close, we can attack. As for the active attack you said, who dares to go into the next door and let the soldiers die?"

They claim to have an army of 30, but in fact there are only 10.

The few of them knew this well. Facing the army of Junggar, they couldn't bear any consumption at all, so they could only wait.

The commanders were worried that the soldiers were waiting in place, and they would easily let down their vigilance, and even their morale would weaken.

The fourteenth elder brother gnawed on the jerky and said vaguely: "What are you afraid of? Set up a few arenas and let the soldiers go up and fight a few times. Just order as long as you want, and whoever dares to be cruel will get it down. The reward is the winner. Can share an extra piece of meat."

The commanders felt that Brother Fourteen was still young, and it was a joke. Would the soldiers really want it?

Not to mention, the soldiers are always willing.

Except for the patrolling people, they were camping, and they started to do nothing after training in the morning.

Because they were too idle, there were quarrels with each other for a while, and there were more fights.

Now the fourteenth elder brother ordered someone to set up the ring, so that the soldiers had a place to expend their excess energy and anger.

As for the reward of eating an extra piece of meat, the soldiers are of course also happy.

Soldiers just want to eat meat, eating a piece of meat more than others, or the meat won back, and eating it will look good, who would not like it!

And just for a piece of meat, even if the soldiers fight, they will not be really cruel.

After all, it's just for a piece of meat, so what?

You can't ask for an extra piece of meat even if you kill the other party. Isn't this a loss-making business?

Furthermore, the soldiers have been sparring with each other for a long time, and their martial arts have improved a lot.

After waiting for half a month, the scouts came to report that there was movement near the Gobi exit.

Although it is nearby, it is quite far away.

The fourteenth elder brother stood on a high place, and with clairvoyance, he could only see a few clues.

"They're finally out, and I'm going to get bored if they don't come out."

Lao Li couldn't see that he was bored at all, and he went to the ring to fight with the soldiers once or twice a day.

The fourteenth elder brother played with great enthusiasm and never lost a match. He was almost invincible against everyone, and the soldiers gradually admired him.

For a moment, Lao Li didn't know whether Brother Fourteen did it on purpose to convince the soldiers, or whether he did it unintentionally and went to the ring just to pass the time.

In any case, Brother Fourteen's action really united the soldiers a lot, and they also admired him as a young general.

Presumably after the fourteenth elder brother ordered the soldiers to go west, they would never go east!

That is, the Commander of the Three Banners felt that Elder Fourteen was too young and acted casually, so he tried his best to persuade him to send troops, and planned to find a guide nearby to go into the Gobi, so as to turn passive into active.

Elder Fourteen refused to listen, and was not willing to meet people, so he pushed everything to Lao Li to deal with it.

Lao Li was so bald that he managed to persuade the commanders. He felt more tired than playing ten rounds in the ring.

Elder Fourteen watched with clairvoyance for a while, counted the number of camps of the other party, then handed clairvoyance to Lao Li who was beside him: "Look at the number of camps, it seems that the other party's reduction of staff is not much."

Lao Li glanced around with his clairvoyance, nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, if there were really people in the camp, the Junggar tribe didn't die too many people when they crossed the Gobi."

Brother Fourteen asked again: "Is everything ready?"

Lao Li said helplessly: "Yes, everything is ready."

Elder Fourteen had asked people to borrow gongs and drums from surrounding towns, which was really weird.

However, the common people learned that the fourteenth elder brother led troops to go out to protect them, and it was nothing to borrow gongs and drums, so they wished to send them directly.

Anyway, this thing can't be eaten, so it's only used during the New Year and festivals.

Lao Li borrowed a bunch of gongs and drums and came back. The fourteenth brother has been useless. Now he remembered: "When people beat the gongs and drums at night, the harder the better. Stop after a while, and then change people to continue. Knock. By the way, remember to knock in another place too."

Hearing this, Lao Li had no choice but to obey, and then ordered to go on.

The soldiers had already been gearing up for work. When they heard that they were going to beat gongs and drums, although there were question marks all over their heads, they immediately obeyed orders.

The influence of playing in the ring a while ago is still there, and they all admire Brother Fourteen extremely, unlike the leaders who are worried, thinking that he will never do boring things.

The soldiers beat the gongs and drums for a while, and then handed them over to other people to change to another place to continue beating, so that the soldiers of the Junggar tribe could not take a good rest.

The soldiers on the fourteenth brother's side took turns knocking, and they came back to rest after knocking. They were far away and couldn't be affected. They slept very sweetly after exercising.

The Junggar tribe can't do it, the sound is coming from far and near, and it's not just one place, it may be several places at the same time, making people don't know where to go.

The sound cannot be removed, and it is impossible for people to turn around and go back to the Gobi.

After a few days, the people of the Junggar tribe began to look haggard, their eyes were dull, and their spirits went down.

Arab hated it to death. The people on the opposite side did not send troops, but sneakily beat gongs and drums nearby to interfere with their rest. It was really not a decent act.

He heard that the No. 14 son of the emperor led the troops here. He was young, so he must have been young and impulsive, and he probably led the troops directly.

Arab waited on the Gobi for two days and made a lot of arrangements, but none of them were used!

He didn't expect Brother Fourteen to be so patient and wait for him at the exit!

Arab also set up tents to confuse the other party. Considering that there are so many tents, if the other party is very cautious, he will naturally send someone to investigate nearby.

So he arranged around the tent again, waiting for Brother Fourteen to bring people into the net!

Unexpectedly, the fourteenth elder brother became unsteady again unexpectedly, and instead used strange methods, and even started beating gongs and drums around to disturb their rest!

This was a child's play, and it really made the warriors of the tribe not rest well at all. They became more and more haggard day by day, and their morale seemed to drop a lot.

Arab knew they couldn't wait any longer.

Although I haven't figured out the temperament and methods of the fourteenth brother, but the strength of the two sides is similar. He believes that the warriors of the tribe will definitely beat the enemy to pieces with one against two!

Arab made the people of the tribe a full meal, and then prepared to attack when night fell!

The fourteenth elder brother stood on a high place, watched with clairvoyance the many fires extinguished on the opposite side, and said with a smile: "They are finally coming over, they are quite patient, and they waited for several days to come."

Old Li smiled helplessly. When the scouts detected traps near the tent and reported them, he thought that Brother Fourteen would secretly dismantle these traps and then lead troops to attack them.

However, Brother Fourteen only asked people to continue beating gongs and drums outside the trap, and had no intention of dismantling it.

His original words were, there is no need to waste the lives of soldiers trying to dismantle those traps, just let the other party dismantle them and then take the initiative to come over.

It is not so easy to dismantle the trap, and if you do so quietly, you will have to fight with your life.

Brother Fourteen felt that there was no need to waste the lives of the soldiers here. It would be better to let Arab give up and come over on his own initiative. Isn’t that what happened?

Lao Li has always felt that Elder Fourteen is still young, and his methods are very erratic, with a bit of childishness.

Neither is it impulsive, nor is it steady, it just makes people confused.

He was like this beside Elder Fourteen, let alone Arab who was on the opposite side. He might not even be able to guess what Elder Fourteen would do next, so he could only face him head-on!

Brother Fourteen narrowed his eyes and said, "Let the soldiers have a full meal, and the traps below are ready?"

Lao Li replied: "Yes, the trench has been dug, and sharpened bamboos are placed in it."

"Very well, they estimate that they will start attacking at nightfall, and let people light up all the torches, the more the better!"

Hearing this, Lao Li looked down at the opposite side and asked, "How did the general guess it?"

Elder Fourteen laughed and said, "There is a lack of oil in Junggar. I must like to walk in the dark at night, so I'm used to it. I'm more used to the night than we are."

Isn't it natural to attack at night when they are best at?

Lao Li looked at the torches that were gradually igniting and asked again: "Then the first thing they did was to extinguish these torches, so the general asked the soldiers to put oil?"

Elder Fourteen nodded. Although it is wasteful to use oil to light the fire, it is not easy to extinguish the fire with oil.

Not to mention the impossibility of a large amount of water near the Gobi, it is impossible for Arab to put out the fire with feathered arrows.

With just an ordinary torch, Arabo could do it.

Sure enough, Arab led his troops far away, so he drew his bow first to knock down the torches, turning the surroundings into darkness.

However, the feather arrow clearly hit the torch, especially since they were so good at archery, the arrow was right between the torch and the stick, but it didn't go out at all.

If the ordinary flame had been extinguished by the arrow, Arab immediately sensed something was wrong, and ordered in a low voice, "We can't wait any longer, attack immediately, and then let someone use sand to extinguish the torch!"

He had intended to drop the torch with his bow, as he had always done.

I don't know what the fourteenth elder brother had someone do to the torch, but it couldn't be extinguished with a feathered arrow, so he had to ask someone to go up and extinguish it himself.

If you use sand, you can definitely extinguish the torch, but you are also very close, and you may die from it.

There is no other way now, so Arab had no choice but to make a bad move.

Brother Fourteen just didn't give them a familiar environment, nor did he give Arab any chance of winning, so he wouldn't let them get close to put out the fire.

When they got within range, they encountered a bamboo trap disguised as the ground.

The archer is ready, Elder Fourteen watched from a distance with his clairvoyance, and then raised his hand at the right time: "Fire the arrow——"

Geng Yi noticed that the fourth elder brother always went back to the study to write big characters for a long time after he went down to court, so he knew that he couldn't calm down.

In just half a month, his cheeks were flushed, and there was a blister in his mouth. He was obviously worried about Brother Fourteen.

Even if the fourth elder brother behaved nonchalantly in front of the fourteenth elder brother, at most he would nag a little bit, once the fourteenth elder brother went west, he would not show it on the surface, but he would get angry with worry in his heart.

The fourth elder brother's mouth hurts when he drinks water, so he has to change his food to light food. He is worried about the kitchen. He can cook vegetarian dishes, what tricks can he make!

The most important thing is that the fourth elder brother has a sore mouth and a poor appetite, which makes Chef Ma very worried.

Dr. Li prescribed some decoctions for the fourth elder brother, but with little effect.

Geng Yi felt that the decoction would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, because the fourth elder brother had a strong heart.

The more worried he was, the more entangled in the safety of the fourteenth elder brother, the more angry he became, and it was difficult to relieve the fire with no amount of soup.

Either let the fourth elder brother get busy again, or something else made him divert his attention.

Geng Yi had no choice but to ask the fourth elder brother to get out of the study room more, instead of stuffing himself in the study room, and to make him hot medicinal tea, so that the fourth elder brother could spend more time with the children.

Hongshi likes to hug everything he sees, especially the fourth elder brother's calf, because it is very stable, and he doesn't want to let go of it.

Hongli has learned to turn over, and he can turn over continuously, all the way to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother wanted to support Hongshi's back so that his legs would not suddenly fall, and at the same time, he had to be careful on his feet, lest Hongli keep turning over, and it would be bad if he rolled over in front of him and stepped on it. He was a little flustered .

Geng Yi helplessly looked at Hongzhou who was lying on his lap, poked his little arm and said, "Hongli will turn over, you should also turn over twice."

Hongzhou groaned twice, and he did turn over, but his back was facing Geng Yi, as if "I won't listen, I won't listen".

Geng Yi was about to laugh angrily, and poked Hong Zhou's back again, he moaned and moved his small body but he didn't turn over.

The fourth elder brother over there asked the nanny to hold Hongli, and carefully moved over with Hongshi carrying the pendant on his lap.

Seeing Hong Zhou lying quietly on his side, he also smiled and said, "Hong Zhou is a little too quiet."

Geng Yi wanted to say that he was either quiet or too lazy.

Over there, Hongli broke free from the nanny and began to turn over again. After turning over a few times, he lay down and suddenly stopped moving.

Geng Yi looked up and was a little worried, but Niu Gulu Gege had already glanced over, and came back with Hongli in his arms and said with a smile: "He turned too fast, he passed out."

Hongli was in a daze, and he didn't move when he was hugged. He hummed and looked very unhappy, as if he knew that everyone was laughing at him.

Niu Gulu Gege patted Hongli's head and comforted him: "Okay, you turned beautifully, but don't turn it too fast, or you will get dizzy."

Hongli whimpered, as if he was defending something, but Geng Yi laughed when he heard it.

Li Fangfujin came over with Huai Ke, the little girl was a little timid, watching the fourth elder brother carefully salute, then hid behind Li Fangfujin and looked here quietly.

The fourth elder brother looked dissatisfied, how could his daughter be so timid?

Li Fangfujin also raised his daughter to be too timid, so my aunt should be more courageous and pungent!

Fourth elder brother beckoned and asked Huai Ke to come over.

Huai Ke was taken aback for a moment, glanced at Li Ce Fujin, saw her nod before slowly walking over.

The fourth elder brother touched her head, and asked softly: "What do you do in the yard on weekdays, tell Ama?"

Upon hearing this, Huai Ke whispered: "Learn to be a female celebrity with Er Niang, and my daughter can make a purse."

She took out a small purse with two flowers embroidered on it.

The needlework is still a little immature, the little girl is not strong enough, and the stitches are not compact enough, but she can see that she is very hardworking.

The fourth elder brother boasted: "You did a good job, but you are young, and you can't stay in the yard as a female celebrity all the time. You should go out for a walk more often. Watch carefully."

It hurts my eyes if I do too much female celebrity, and there are several embroiderers in the house. In fact, there is no need for Huai Ke to be a lot of female celebrity, a little knowledge is enough.

Even if she can't, it's okay, Huai Ke will be a Fujin when she gets married, except for making some underwear for her father, let the embroiderer do the rest.

If you can’t do it, you can embroider two stitches at the end and treat it as if you did it yourself.

Huai Ke nodded, feeling that what the fourth elder brother said was different from Li Fangfujin, so he looked back at his mother-in-law.

The fourth elder brother looked at Li Fangfujin and said: "You too, I will hire a female teacher for Huai Ke later, to learn characters and arithmetic. Aunts and grandmas may not know poetry, but they must know how to read accounts."

Otherwise, if you become the head of the family in the future, you won't be able to understand any accounts in the family. Isn't this going to fool the servants in the future?

Don't teach what should be taught, but teach what is not important.

Li Fangfu Jin forced a smile, Huai Ke anxiously argued: "Ama, it's my daughter who wants to learn, and wants to make a beautiful purse for Ama, it has nothing to do with Erniang."

The fourth elder brother touched Huai Ke's head, only felt that this daughter was caring, so he didn't say much about Li Fangfujin.

Li Fangfujin saw that Hongshi was hugging the fourth elder brother's calf tightly, and asked him to stand or sit, so he hugged Hongshi up.

Hongshi was not happy anymore, he said "no" twice, and hugged the fourth elder brother tightly with his little hands.

Li Fangfujin tried his best not to move the person away, Hongshi may have been in pain, and he burst into tears as soon as his mouth was flattened.

The fourth elder brother looked helplessly at Li Cianfujin, and could only pat Hongshi's back lightly.

Huai Ke also came over, wiped Hong Shi's tears with a handkerchief, and softly comforted him: "My brother, don't cry, don't cry."

Geng Yi hurriedly asked someone to bring over the newly made maraca, and after shaking it, there was a rustling sound, and Hongshi looked over when he heard the sound, and then he stopped crying after shaking the maraca twice with his little hand. Grinned.

Hongshi held the maraca in one hand, but couldn't hold it with the other hand. He sat down and started playing, completely forgetting about the fourth brother's legs.

Li Fangfujin breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Geng Yi a grateful look.

Hongshi's child could cry endlessly, even the nanny couldn't coax him, let alone her own mother.

Fortunately, Geng Yi is a toy that Hongshi likes very much recently, and he won't cry after playing with it.

The fourth elder brother looked at the sand hammer in Hongshi's hand with disgust and said, "What do you draw?"

Geng Yi blinked and said, "Master, this is a fish."

Hong Shi followed suit and shouted, "Fish!"

The fourth elder brother looked at it, but he really didn't see that it was a fish.

Geng Yi wanted to say that this is just a stick figure. A fish can be drawn in one stroke, which is similar to a figure 8. The sharp part in the front of the fish head is the fish mouth, and a dot is added for the fish eyes, and it works.

It's still in blue color, and she looks like it.

Although neither Nanny Hu nor Rusui could figure it out after the painting was finished, Ruyu managed to guess it.

After looking at it twice, the fourth elder brother finally couldn't help it, and asked Geng Yi, "Your maracet is like this in other paintings?"

Geng Yi was stunned for a moment, as if they were all stick figures.

After all, this gourd is not big, so if it is painted in different colors, the children will like it very much, and the colors used are bright.

But obviously, the fourth elder brother didn't like it very much, and planned to change it.

Forget it, this can be regarded as finding something for the fourth elder brother to do, so as not to entangle himself.

So Geng Yi asked for the remaining few maracas to be sent over, half of which had already been painted, and she had painted them herself.

In addition, there are a few empty ones that have just been made, and I haven't had time to paint them.

The fourth elder brother looked at the patterns on the other two paintings and wondered: "You were good at painting before, why are you so messed up on this maraca?"

Geng Yi wanted to say why she was acting so foolishly!

I used to draw either sketches or watercolors. This is called a stick figure, how can it be the same!

However, in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, these stick figures are nonsense. I don't know what to do. I wish I could change it on the spot, but there is no way to change it.

It was troublesome to wash off these paints, so the fourth elder brother simply couldn't see it, so he took some other empty maracas and looked at them carefully, and then asked Su Peisheng to send Yancai over.

He first adjusted it to a light brown, then outlined the branches, and then painted the fruit with pink.

Geng Yi took a closer look, isn't this a peach?

One side of the peach is pink and the other side is white, just to make a gradient in the middle for the fourth elder brother. The gradient of each peach is different, and it is absolutely perfect.

In addition, there are green leaves beside the peaches, and the lines of the leaves are also drawn quite clearly.

Geng Yi convinced the fourth elder brother that even a toy made him draw a beautiful pattern on the surface of porcelain.

However, she watched the fourth elder brother lower his head to draw seriously, and stopped the pen from time to time to look carefully before continuing.

It is said that serious men are the most attractive, and it is true.

Geng Yi looked at the profile of the fourth elder brother. It has been many years since she came here.

The fourth elder brother's eyebrows and eyes have been immature since he was young, but now he is completely mature and stable.

In the past, she could tell likes and dislikes from the face of the fourth elder brother, but now she can only guess based on her years of experience with him. The fourth elder brother's thoughts are becoming more and more unfathomable.

It's just that no matter how the fourth elder brother changes, his attitude towards Geng Yi hasn't changed much.

The fourth elder brother has been stared at for a long time, so he naturally noticed Geng Yi's gaze, turned his head to look over and smiled, "What are you doing looking at me like that?"

Geng Yi smiled and said, "I just think it's really kind."

Just for the children's toys, the fourth elder brother is actually so serious about drawing patterns.

This meticulous temperament, he has not changed a bit over the years.

The fourth elder brother smiled, took the pen and continued to outline, only a few strokes left to finish the painting.

Suddenly, Li Fangfujin reminded: "Master, be careful—"

Before the fourth elder brother raised his head, he heard Geng Yi's exclamation, and then saw Hongshi approaching at some point, and slapped Yan Cai's plate with one hand, his palm was full of messy colors mixed together.

Hongshi was still cheerful, and stretched out his hand to smear himself twice, and planned to smack his face, so scared that the nanny quickly grabbed his little hand.

The nurse's hands were also covered with paint, and even her sleeves were covered with paste.

The fourth elder brother suddenly had a headache. He looked down and saw that he was taken aback just now.

Su Peisheng clearly put Yan Cai on the other side, fearing that the children would look through it.

Who would have thought that Hongshi, who was silent just now, approached slowly, and then pounced on him to make him look good!

Brake with stillness, find the right time and hit it with one blow, is it worthy of being his child?

Hongshi was still struggling desperately, and the nanny's chin and neck were covered with paint, it was a horrible sight.

The fourth elder brother could only wave his hands and say, "Hurry up and take Hongshi back to wash it."

He turned his head to look at the chaos just now, Hongli didn't know when he sneaked over to his side, and he was about to reach out to pat the paint again, but the fourth prince grabbed him.

It was because he was unprepared that Hongshi succeeded just now, how could he let Hongli succeed?

When Hongli was caught, his little face was full of displeasure, and he yelled a few times, seeing that the fourth elder brother would not let go, he flattened his mouth and burst into tears.

Hong Shi also cried when he heard it, and the two loud cries made the fourth elder brother's ears buzzing, and he had a headache.

Li Fangfujin hurriedly asked the nanny to hug Hongshi back to take a bath, but she wanted to hug him but didn't dare to hug her, lest she also get stained with paint, and then she wouldn't know whether to wash the child or herself.

Huai Ke was also taken aback by the cries of the two younger brothers, but when he turned around, he saw Hong Zhou still lying on Geng Yi's lap, quietly asking, "Is the fourth brother asleep?"

Geng Yi patted Hong Zhou's back lightly, fearing that he would be frightened by the cries of the other two children.

Unexpectedly, Hong Zhou didn't respond, he just stared at his calf impatiently, then turned over, turned his face inside and continued to sleep with his eyes closed.

Geng Yi knew at a glance that he was not asleep, and he was not very happy, his mouth was tightly squeezed, and he covered Hongzhou's ears with his hands.

The voice became quieter, so Hong Zhou stopped kicking his legs.

She smiled and replied, "No, he didn't feel the need to cry."

In fact, Hong Zhou probably didn't bother to cry, and didn't moan and kick his legs if he didn't bother him to sleep.

Huai Ke blinked and said, "Fourth brother is really good."

Hongshi had already been taken away, and the crying could still be heard from afar, it was like howling like ghosts and wolves.

Hongli was also carried out, struggling desperately while walking, the nanny almost couldn't hold her.

Niu Gulu Gege wondered: "Hongli is only a little older, and his strength is so great."

Hongli cried even harder when he hugged him out of the door, and Geng Yi suddenly thought of something, so he ordered Mother Hu to send out the maracas that he had just brought.

Nanny Hu hurriedly stuffed the maraca into Hongli's arms, and he hugged it tightly with his small hands so as not to cry.

Niu Yulu heaved a sigh of relief, smiled gratefully at Geng Yi, and then left with Hongli in his arms.

The fourth elder brother was puzzled, that shaker was still a strangely drawn fish by Geng Yi, why did Hongli like it so much, instead of wanting his own peach branch?

He picked up the peach branch maraca that he had made a mess of, and also frowned.

Geng Yi said: "Yancai has a white color, so I can just change it later? It's really not possible, such a small place can be wiped off."

The fourth elder brother nodded and asked Su Peisheng to carefully erase the wrong stroke, so as not to damage the whole painting of peach branches.

Geng Yi guessed that he would rather erase it than change it, and he heard the fourth elder brother ask: "Why did Hongli stop crying when he took the one you drew?"

The implication is, shouldn't it be the one he painted?

Geng Yi thought to himself, how old is the child, how can he tell which pattern on the maraca looks better!

It's the maraca she painted, which has many colors besides the fish, and it's colorful. Of course, Hongli likes it when he sees the bright colors!

At this time, Geng Yi could only explain: "Maybe it's the first time Hongli saw the colorful maracas, so he wanted that one. It's not that I haven't finished painting this one. I'll take it out after I finish painting it. Hongli should also like it. "

The fourth elder brother nodded, accepting the explanation.

It's just that Nanny Zhi next to Li Fangfujin returned quickly, and after saluting, she asked in a low voice, "Where is the maraca that Fang Fujin gave before? Brother Hongshi was crying non-stop, and the master had a headache. I can't be coaxed. Use another It’s not good to tease me, I’m thinking about wanting that maraca.”

Geng Yi pointed to the outside and said, "I just gave the sand hammer to Hongli and took it away."

Nanny Zhi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt a headache.

Hong Shi didn't ask for a maraca, and cried while taking a bath, crying so much that Li Fangfujin wanted to cry along with him.

At this moment, the maracas were given to Hongli, and Nanny Zhi couldn't get the maracas from Hongli's elder brother, so she didn't know what to do for a while.

Geng Yi saw that she was in trouble, and immediately said: "It's okay, I have two more here."

Nanny Hu handed over the other two sand hammers that had been drawn, and Nanny Zhi quickly thanked them and took them back. She came back after a while, and said distressedly: "Brother Hongshi wants the original one, this slave is really..."

Hongshi already knew a word or two, and just now he yelled "I want" and "fish" and so on. He obviously remembered Geng Yi's reference to the fish painted on the maracas!

The fourth elder brother said impatiently: "As long as Hongshi does what he wants, he must have what he wants, and if he doesn't want to cry, what does it look like!"

Geng Yi, however, knew Hongshi's temperament, he could really keep on crying when he was crying, and he couldn't stop sobbing, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "What's so difficult about this, I'll just draw another one right away."

It's just a stick figure, and it doesn't take time. She recalled that when she drew it, she collected a few colors, and it was strange to draw a fish on it with a pen. It didn't take a quarter of an hour to finish it.

Geng Yi saw that he was pretty good, he drew it casually before, and now he can copy it immediately.

The fourth elder brother looked at this strange fish, and his eyes were a little indescribable.

Nanny Zhi thanked her again and again, and went back with the newly painted maracas. Hongshi's faint crying finally stopped.

Su Peisheng erased the stroke of the painting, and sent the maraca back. The fourth elder brother silently finished the rest of the painting, and then put the maraca into Geng Yi's hand: "This is for you."

It was clear that he still disliked the maraca with the fish painted on it before, and Geng Yi couldn't laugh or cry, so he had to accept the drawing by the fourth elder brother himself.

Not to mention, this peach is painted so well that even Hong Zhou couldn't help but hold it in his arms and play with it for a while when he woke up and saw it.

Hong Zhou was not very interested in the ones she drew, so Geng Yi was puzzled.

Could it be that the little slacker Hong Zhou has the same aesthetics as the fourth elder brother, which is quite good?

Geng Yi squeezed Hongzhou's small arm lightly, and muttered in a low voice: "I thought you didn't join the melee to grab the maracas just now because you didn't want to fight or snatch it, but you really don't like my stick figures? "

Hongzhou groaned and turned over with his peach shaker in his arms, facing Geng Yi with his back.

Geng Yi became even more unhappy, and he hummed twice, and Hongzhou turned around and glanced at her.

He hesitated for a while, but still handed over the maraca in his arms.

Geng Yi stuffed the maraca back into Hongzhou's arms with a funny face: "Okay, this is yours."

She couldn't help feeling that this child is lazy, but he doesn't know how to eat alone, so he is quite willing to share?

The fourth elder brother obviously wanted to reverse the aesthetics of Hongshi and Hongli, and sent the two newly painted maracas to secretly replace the ones painted by Geng Yi.

Unexpectedly, the two little elder brothers could recognize each other, and they cried when they were replaced.

In the end, the fourth elder brother had no choice but to leave both of them, and the younger elder brother could play whichever he liked.

It's just that he doesn't understand, he painted it with bright colors on purpose, why the two little elder brothers don't like it?

Fighting wits and courage with the little elder brother in the mansion, the fourth elder brother didn't care so much about the fourteenth elder brother who went west.

When he came back to his senses, the good news that the soldiers led by Brother Fourteen had repelled the Junggar tribe for the first time came back to the capital!
