[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

Compared with the emperor, the fourth elder brother is more merciless in dealing with things.

The ministers were all concerned, and when they saw the note added to the booklet, they all mustered up their courage when they opened it, and they were a little afraid to open it and read it.

For example, if a small mistake is made, the emperor will mostly reprimand him, and then deduct one month's salary.

The fourth elder brother didn't, he not only reprimanded him, but also deducted more than half a year's salary.

And for at least three years, those who made mistakes directly stated that they could not be promoted.

If you don't make another mistake within three years, you may have the chance to be promoted.

Some of the ministers were discouraged, and honestly endured for three years.

Some ministers were veteran ministers who had followed the emperor for many years, so they were naturally dissatisfied, and they directly handed the emperor a booklet and cried.

After the emperor read it, he bad-heartedly asked someone to show it to the fourth elder brother, and wrote a note to let the fourth elder brother take care of it.

What can the fourth elder brother do? He has never been a person who backtracks on his promises, and he will not change his mind just because someone cries or begs for mercy. Dragging the petty official out as a scapegoat is simply aggravating the crime.

He has already shown mercy, but unfortunately the other party doesn't appreciate it, so why not just follow the original plan?

After the emperor saw it, he smiled at Li Dequan and said, "The temper of the fourth child is similar to when I was young."

The fourth elder brother looked silent and steady, and what he didn't like was that he would not be soft at all.

However, these old ministers were indeed relying on the old to sell the old. The emperor squinted his eyes, and he was not very happy: "Put this piece in the booklet, Li Dequan, send it there yourself."

The booklet personally delivered by Li Dequan, who was beside the emperor, showed the emperor's attitude. He was completely on the side of the fourth elder brother.

No matter how unhappy the veterans were, they could only hold their noses in response.

The fourth elder brother understands that these old ministers are dissatisfied in their hearts, even if they are punished, they will be punished in vain, and they will dare to do so in the future.

But it's good for them to come again, the fourth elder brother has a reason to get the old ministers down.

The disobedient courtiers are not easy to use, and they are still holding back, so what are they doing!

Isn't it for the sake of the emperor to keep it now?

Otherwise, if the emperor is still there, the fourth elder brother will directly withdraw the old officials. What will others think, what will the emperor think?

Do you think that the fourth elder brother is now in power, so he doesn't pay attention to the people promoted by the emperor, doesn't this mean he doesn't pay attention to the emperor?

The old minister thought the same way, so he deliberately wrote a booklet and went to the emperor to cry.

To make the emperor unhappy and reprimand the fourth elder brother, the veterans naturally gained the upper hand.

Even if the emperor put it down lightly, the fourth elder brother wanted to get angry but didn't dare to do anything to them. At most, he would be fined half a year's salary, which was like a tickling punishment for veterans.

But now that the emperor sent Li Dequan directly, it was inevitable that there was a warning.

The emperor did only ask the fourth prince to punish them with half a year's salary, but this warning was much more terrifying than half a year's salary.

The veterans calmed down obediently and did not dare to confront the fourth elder brother again.

When the two sides confront each other, the ministers are well aware of which side the emperor is on.

There are veterans who are the first birds, and other ministers are as obedient as quails immediately.

The fourth elder brother received fewer and fewer notebooks, and there were not so many strange and trivial things.

He was about to laugh angrily in the study, these ministers obviously knew that the emperor sent trivial and unimportant documents to the fourth elder brother, and they almost sent them without reading them.

Naturally, the ministers dared to act like demons, and dared to write notes on the slightest thing for the emperor to send to the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother has always been serious, and he was sent by the emperor, so he has to deal with it.

Now being beaten by the emperor, these ministers are finally honest, and they don't dare to bother the fourth elder brother anymore. They handle all trivial matters by themselves, so how dare they bother the fourth elder brother!

There were fewer booklets, and he had time, so he looked at the back first.

This piece of land was enclosed, the soil was turned over carefully, and a layer of fertile black soil was spread, which would make the peonies bloom better.

The fourth elder brother didn't get close to avoid stepping on the mud.From a distance, the gardeners were very careful. They first plowed the ground and then spread black soil. They also dug ditches and built platforms to prevent water accumulation.

Peonies are extremely delicate and difficult to grow. They like cool places but are afraid of freezing, like warm places but are afraid of heat, like light but are afraid of exposure to the sun, like dryness but are afraid of humidity, but they can't be too dry and easy to dry up and wither.

Because the fourth elder brother has to make all the peonies bloom next spring, so what is planted is not a small seedling, but a big seedling.

A big peony seedling was planted about two slaps away, and the platform was built in a straight line, which made the fourth elder brother very comfortable.

It's just that he was a little surprised to see that the gardeners didn't water after planting.

Even though the fourth elder brother has never planted peonies himself, he has participated in the planting every spring. Naturally, he knows that many saplings need to be irrigated with fixed root water after planting.

Su Peisheng called the oldest and most experienced gardener over for questioning. After saluting, the gardener quickly replied: "Brother Si, peonies like to be dry or not wet, so you can't water them immediately after planting, unless the weather is too hot. After dark, water a little bit, but not too much, and root water is absolutely not allowed.”

Root-fixing water is a large amount of water to directly water the roots of the seedlings. If it is other saplings, it is fine, it is really suitable, but it is not good for peony, it is easy to water to death, and it will rot and wither at all.

"When planting peonies, it is taboo to fertilize in the spring equinox. You can only apply dry fertilizer after the flowers bloom. Wet fertilizer is absolutely impossible. Watering in June is taboo. Watering will damage the roots, and it will never bloom in the coming year. Only in winter Fat is the most important and absolutely indispensable.”

The fourth elder brother nodded, knowing that there is a lot of knowledge in planting peonies, so he didn't intervene much, and just let the gardeners figure it out.

The gardener repeatedly responded that these peonies are very delicate, and it is impossible not to look at them for a day.

The palace behind has not been built yet, even if there is, it is not something they can live in.

After the gardeners simply asked the fourth elder brother for instructions, they built sheds on both sides of the flower field, where they lived and ate every day.

The shed is covered with hay to provide a little shelter from wind and rain.

Anyway, the gardener only lives in the next spring, which is not too long, and the peonies are too delicate to leave him for a day.

If it is windy and rainy, the gardener will set up a shelf and use straw mats to block it, so as not to blow off the flower branches.

They must seize the time to loosen the soil, lest the peony be soaked by the rain, and if the flower roots are damaged, they will never bloom in the coming year.

If the weather is dry, the gardener has to water a little every morning and evening.

Su Peisheng left two young eunuchs to run errands with the gardener. If there was anything to do, one could run errands, and the other could stay and watch, so that the gardeners would not wander around.

There are female relatives living here in Jiuzhou Qingyan, and if the gardeners want to wander around, it will be bad if they collide.

However, these gardeners never dared to leave the nobles and only wandered in the flower fields.

Most of them need to tell the little eunuch about something, and the little eunuch will report it to Su Peisheng.

For small matters, Su Peisheng can make the decisions, such as arranging for the gardeners to eat and drink, such as going outside to buy and replenish one or two broken flower seedlings, and so on.

If there is a big problem with the peony seedlings, it is not Su Peisheng who can make decisions on his own.

The little eunuch he left behind had to keep an eye on the peony fields in addition to keeping an eye on the gardeners, so as not to have any accidents, but the gardeners deliberately concealed it.

This is the peony flower field that the fourth elder brother specially circled for the emperor. He is waiting for the spring to bloom and invite the emperor to come and enjoy the flowers. If anything goes wrong, these gardeners will be blamed.

Geng Yi waited for two days without visiting, and looked at Wan Fangan and all the rooms.

The furnishings of the rooms are similar, only the size is different, and the lake can be seen through the windows.

Hong Zhou sleeps more here, eating and sleeping every day, and Geng Yi feels that he has become a little bit sleepier in just a few days.

But this place is really comfortable, sometimes Geng Yi plays with Hong Zhou for a while, and the two of them meet head to head and fall asleep together on the carpet.

Later, Geng Yi learned that the gardener would not leave, but he was also locked up and could not move around, so she immediately took Hongzhou to Niugulugege's place to visit.

As soon as she approached, she heard Hongli's loud cry from a distance, and then she started to make noise again.

The nanny was sweating from being coaxed inside, and Niu Gulu came out to meet Geng Yi, also looking depressed.

Geng Yi asked strangely: "Sister, what happened to Hongli?"

Niu Gulu smiled wryly and said: "It's not that Hongli saw the pond full of koi, insisted on going in to catch fish, and cried if he didn't let go. He has been crying for two days, and he used a maraca to lure him away for a while. After a long time, he thought When I got up, I started to make noise again, which made me feel flustered and sweat."

Geng Yi followed her in, and Hongli's howling ghosts and wolves really hurt his ears.

Hongzhou was not happy in the nurse's arms, he was moaning, and he didn't know if he was scolding Hongli for crying too loudly.

The nanny wanted to coax Hongli with food, so she took a spoonful of sesame paste and wanted to feed it into his mouth.

Hongli pushed away with a wave of his small hand, making sesame paste all over his body and palm.

The nurse had no choice but to quickly change Hongli's body. Hongli was also sweating from crying, and his clothes had to be changed.

Geng Yi looked at it for a while, and found that the nanny and Niu Gulu Gege had nothing to do with Hongli, so he said: "It's not a solution for him to cry like this. Why don't we let people catch two fish and raise them in a tank? Then Hongli can see it, and it won’t be more dangerous to run to the edge of the fish pond all day.”

Hongli can't walk now, but he can climb, and he climbs quite fast.

As soon as the nanny lowered his head, he could crawl to the door, scaring the nanny into a cold sweat.

There are two maidservants around, one guarding the door and the other beside the nanny.

Unexpectedly, Hongli had already crawled to the door, but he was stopped by another maid.

It would be dangerous for Hongli to climb out, not sure if he climbed to the edge of the fish pond.

Even if there is a fence, the gap is very small for an adult, but for a child as young as Hongli, he can squeeze through it.

If he does fall, it will not be so easy to rescue him.

Niu Gulu Gege broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and asked the three maids to stand by Hongli's side and stare.

She thought for a while and Geng Yi was right, crying all the time was not good for Hongli's voice.

If you want to get rid of Hongli's thoughts, you can only let people catch fish.

Geng Yi went to the side of the fish pond to have a look, and said with a smile: "Look at these koi carps are big and fat. They are only fed in the pond on weekdays, and no fish are caught. Let people use a net to catch them, and they are sure to catch one."

"Quickly, let people go to the fishing net."

Niu Gulu laughed and said: "Where is there such a thing as a fishing net in the garden, you have to buy it from outside."

Geng Yi thought it was the kind of net for catching fish, but after thinking about it, there might not be one here.

Sure enough, a eunuch came running over panting, holding a smaller fishing net in his hand, Geng Yi waved his hand and said, "You don't need to use such a big one, you just need to catch two or three and show it to Hongli, too. Too much is not easy to raise."

Several eunuchs also brought a fish tank, not square, but round, not very transparent, with some color.

It was only then that Geng Yi realized that colored glaze should be used now, and there is no completely transparent one.

Even the glass in the Western imported goods store is not pure and transparent, but it is somewhat colored, with a hint of green.

She would rather use colored glass of other colors than a green glass fish tank. The face of the person looking at it will be reflected green, right?

Geng Yi made a gesture, and asked someone to use a bamboo pole as a handle, wrap a circle with bamboo strips in front, and then hang a part of the fishing net on it, and the simple fishing net can be done.

The bamboo in the garden is ready-made. As soon as Geng Yi opened his mouth, someone cut the bamboo, and then cut it to make a handle. It was either too thin and broke, or it was too thick to wrap around.

The bustle and bustle here shocked the fourth elder brother. When he came over and saw Geng Yi directing the eunuch around, he laughed and said, "What are you doing?"

Geng Yi turned his head to see him and explained with a smile: "Master, this is making a fishing net for Hongli to catch fish."

Hongli was hugged by the nanny, and now he stopped crying, and watched the little eunuchs running around to get fishing nets with great interest.

It is estimated that he found out that he needs to use a net to catch fish, and he is doing it now, so he will stop making trouble.

The eunuchs here are all in charge of the yard, so it's okay to ask them to clean up and make repairs, but they are not very good at this kind of manual work.

However, they are all people who are used to their work. After a few gropings, they can get started quickly, and they made two fishing nets in a short time.

Geng Yi looked quite strong, and the pole was made long enough, so there was no need for the eunuch to go into the water to catch it himself, and just fish it from the top.

She was about to ask the eunuch to catch fish, when Hong Zhou behind her groaned twice, the voice was quite loud.

Turning his head, Geng Yi found that the nanny was standing far away holding Hong Zhou, probably because she was afraid that standing too close to the lake would cause trouble if Hong Zhou suddenly struggled and fell.

The nanny is cautious, but Hong Zhou is not very happy, I am afraid that I can't see clearly when standing so far away.

Geng Yi was amused, and beckoned the nanny to stand a little closer.

Hong Zhou was still not happy to moan, so Geng Yi pinched his little cheek and said: "When I catch the fish later, there will be splashes, not to mention getting wet, and there will be a fishy smell, which is not good. gone."

The fourth elder brother thinks that Hong Zhou is so old, how can he understand Geng Yi's words, and he will continue to make a fuss and move forward.

Unexpectedly, Hongzhou tilted his head to look at Geng Yi after hearing this, and really stopped making trouble.

Seeing this, the fourth elder brother asked curiously: "Can Hong Zhou really understand what you say?"

Is this child who is less than one year old already so smart?

Geng Yi smiled and said: "Hong Zhou may not understand it, but the child is sensitive and can detect other people's emotions. I explained to him carefully, and Hong Zhou knew that I didn't mean to keep him away, but that there might be other Bad things."

"Although the child is young, he doesn't understand a lot of words, but he is smart! If I put it in a perfunctory way, Hong Zhou will definitely continue to make trouble."

The fourth elder brother nodded, thinking that the child's pure mind makes him more aware of other people's emotional changes.

If Geng Yi was perfunctory, Hong Zhou would be able to notice it just by his attitude.

Geng Yi was still standing side by side with the nanny, and Hong Zhou saw that she was also standing in this position and did not move forward.

She waved her hand, indicating that the eunuchs could catch fish.

The eunuchs were originally stared at by Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege, but they were already gearing up to do their best in front of their master and make a good impression.

Now that the four princes are here, the eunuchs are trying their best to catch the biggest and most beautiful koi.

The fourth elder brother said helplessly: "These koi have lived freely in the lake for many years after they were sent, but now they are afraid that they will suffer disaster because of Hongli."

Geng Yi smiled and said: "The koi are too comfortable in the lake, I don't think they can hide, so they were fished up foolishly. Isn't it good for us to let the koi know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Brother Si shook his head, but he saw that the eunuch could easily catch one or two koi, and these koi really foolishly slammed into the net.

Koi are usually fed by others, and when they see people, they will automatically come to them.

After fishing a few more times, these koi will know how to be wary of people.

The fourth elder brother raised his eyebrows, and saw a eunuch fish out a huge red and white koi.

Looking at the half-arm-long koi, Geng Yi thought that these koi could really be eaten, if he ate himself so big, he would be caught!

The eunuch brought up this big red and white koi, and carefully put it into the fish tank. This one took up half of the fish tank.

The fourth elder brother ordered Su Peisheng to send another fish tank. It is okay to put one koi in this fish tank, but two are too crowded.

Another eunuch fished out a red, white, and black koi, which was half an arm's length, and waited in the water for a while until a new fish tank arrived before he fished it out and put it in.

Hongli stared intently at these koi and clapped his hands happily.

Niu Gulu Gege secretly heaved a sigh of relief, with these two fish tanks, Hongli will not always want to run to the lake in the future, right?

Geng Yi looked at the koi and couldn't turn around, the fish tank was too small.

The fourth elder brother was so convinced that he asked people to go to the warehouse to look more, and moved out two fish tanks more than one meter long, so that the two big koi could be put in.

Now that there is no oxygen pump, the fish tank looks big, and if the koi is not working after staying for a long time, it has to be replaced.

After Hongli has seen it for two or three days, he will release the koi in the fish tank, and then let the eunuch go to the lake to catch new koi, and let the original two koi go home to have a look, and they can return to a more relaxed one Lake life.

The fourth elder brother felt tormented when he heard it, but after thinking about it, Geng Yi was right. Such a small fish tank is fine for a few days, but after a long time, these koi may not be able to support them.

Anyway, Hongli just likes to see koi, and he probably wouldn't be able to tell if he changed it.

Geng Yi prayed in his heart that Hongli would not be like Hongzhou, as long as things could be found in different places!

Hongli was sitting in front of the two fish tanks, looking up at the two fish tanks with his small face, feeling rare and quiet.

Hong Zhou was also quite interested in the two koi carps, sitting next to Hong Li, the two brothers watched the koi fish swimming around.

Asking the nanny to stay in the house and watch the child, Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege accompanied Fourth Master to sit in the pavilion by the lake.

The lakeside pavilion is on the lake, and you can see many koi swimming leisurely in the lake from a distance.

Just now when the eunuchs were fishing for koi, they had no sense of crisis at all. Two of them were taken away, and the koi were frightened and scattered.

Now as soon as the eunuch left, the fishing nets were gone, and the koi came back to swim around, as if nothing had happened just now.

The kitchen learned that Brother Si didn't like mung bean soup and didn't send mung bean cakes, so they brought pear juice instead.

What Geng Yi and Niu Gulu Gege had in front of them was stewed pears with rock sugar. After cooling down, they tasted sweet and sweet, and it was the most comfortable to eat in summer.

The fourth elder brother did not dare to put sugar in the pear juice, only the sweetness of pears, which is enough and very thirst-quenching.

The cool breeze blowing by the lake made the three of them feel comfortable sitting.

Even the fourth elder brother didn't really want to go back to the study to continue to deal with those papers that could not be finished all the time. It was rare that he wanted to enjoy the cleanliness and relax here.

The fourth elder brother stared down at the koi, and suddenly ordered Su Peisheng: "Get some more big fish tanks, ask the eunuch to catch one or two koi and put them in, and send them to the palaces."

What Hongli has, other children must also have talents.

Since Hongli has two, the other children must have at least two koi.

There were not enough fish tanks in the warehouse, so Su Peisheng asked people to buy similar-sized fish tanks outside, and then sent them to Yuanmingyuan.

Since the fourth elder brother said the same thing, the koi that the eunuch picked up should not be smaller than Hongli's two, just about the same.

This is a pain for the eunuchs, after all, it is not so easy to get two such big koi.

They immediately regretted that they fished such a big koi at the beginning, and they would have a headache if they couldn't catch it later.

After the fourth elder brother gave the order, he waited for the eunuch to finish catching the koi before planning to leave.

Geng Yi realized that the fourth elder brother was a bit mean-spirited. He probably didn't want to go back to the study, and he couldn't really do nothing here, so he began to torment the eunuchs.

But the eunuchs are standing by the lake, they don't need to go into the lake, and they won't be too tired, they just have to keep fishing, and if their arms are sore, just replace them.

Sometimes the koi picked up may be the same one, so you have to let it go and continue fishing.

After repeatedly fishing for a full hour, it was barely enough.

It is reluctant to say, because the fourth brother thinks that the koi are not all the same size.

Although Geng Yi looked at the koi with the naked eye, there was no difference, but the fourth elder brother said it was different, so the eunuchs could only continue fishing, and let the fourth elder brother spend the whole afternoon in a daze before wandering back to the study.

She looked at several fish tanks, and the eunuchs carefully carried them out.

Hongli crawled out when he heard the noise, and when he saw a row of fish tanks, his eyes were straightened.

With so many koi, he thought they were all his own, and the eunuch moved away in a blink of an eye.

Hongli said "Ahhh" twice, and he was dissatisfied without guessing.

Niu Gulu Gege could only explain in a low voice: "You have two koi, the other brothers and sisters must also have talents."

Hongli couldn't understand at all, and then watched the koi being moved away, and couldn't help crying.

Seeing that Hong Zhou didn't come out, Geng Yi hurried in and found that the child was sleeping soundly in front of the fish tank.

However, after being howled by Hongli, Hongzhou woke up in a daze, and when he saw Geng Yi, he stretched out his small hand and moaned twice.

Geng Yi smiled and grabbed Hongzhou's little hand and squeezed it. Seeing that Hongli couldn't hold back his crying for a while, he asked the nanny to pick up Hongzhou and planned to go back to Wanfang Anhe quickly.

Niu Gulu asked the nanny to hold Hongli and coax him, while sending Geng Yi out.

Geng Yi shook his head and said: "My sister stays, so there is no need to send it off. You can bring Hongli over to play with me later."

Niu Gulu nodded, and could only turn around to coax Hongli, the little ancestor.

She raised her hand and said with a wave: "Look, Hongli, all the koi in this fish pond are here, only a few were taken away, what's there to cry about?"

The nanny was standing by the lake with Hongli in her arms. He looked at the fish pond full of koi carps below, half-understood and somehow understood what Niu Gulu Gege said, so he stopped crying.

Niu Gulu heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said again: "Take a look at the koi inside and replace it in two days, and let someone bring up a new beautiful koi, okay?"

Hongli blinked his eyes, as if he understood, so he didn't continue to cry, and wanted to go in to see his two newly baked koi.

Seeing the beautiful koi swimming around, Hongli forgot that he had cried in a blink of an eye, and grinned again with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

After Geng Yi went back, Madam Hu came to ask where the fish tank was put.

After thinking about it, she asked Nanny Hu to put the fish tank in a well-lit room, but she didn't let anyone put it in Hong Zhou's room.

Otherwise, Hongzhou would just stare at the koi swimming around every day, and probably wouldn't have to do anything else.

Simply put it in the room next to Hongzhou, anyway, there are plenty of empty rooms in Wanfanganhe.

The fish tank is right next to the window, and the sun shines in from the window. The koi seems to have a soft light, which looks better than before.

Compared with Hongli's two koi, Geng Yi felt that the two sent by the eunuch looked better.

One has black and white fish scales with a little bit of gold, which is not obvious, and can only be vaguely seen when placed by the window and exposed to sunlight.

One has black and white fish scales, but the white is a bit silvery, and it also glistens in the sunlight.

There is no child who does not like shiny things, and Hong Zhou is no exception.

He fell asleep after looking at the koi at Hongli for a while before, but now that he has two koi, he can't stop looking at them without falling asleep.

Geng Yi just happened to be free, seeing that Hong Zhou liked it so much, thinking that he might change the koi later, he drew these two first.

Koi can't be drawn with stick figures, color paintings are needed to show the beauty of Koi.

Otherwise, each of the koi under the stick figure looks similar, and they are completely indistinguishable.

Geng Yi asked Madam Hu to prepare a drawing board and thicker drawing paper, and then sent Yan Cai.

First use a charcoal pencil to outline the outline of the koi, and then modify the details a little bit to make it more flexible, and then she starts to color.

Use the light black again enough for the outline of the koi, then start to paint black and white with a touch of gold in the middle.

She looked in the direction of the light, and added a little shadow to the koi, as if there was a koi really bathing in the sun by the window.

Ruyu praised from the side: "Master, this koi seems to jump out of the painting."

Hongzhou crawled to Geng Yi's feet at some point, and said "ah" twice, as if agreeing with Ruyu's words.

Geng Yi laughed and lowered his head and asked, "You're only a little older, so you already know how good-looking you are?"

That's right, even though Hong Zhou is not a big boy, his aesthetics are as good as Fourth Master's.

Hongzhou groaned and chirped as if to refute, stretched out his little hand, almost knocked over the drawing board, and made Geng Yi jump.

The nanny hurriedly hugged Hong Zhou up, and Nanny Hu put the drawing board back, and moved it a little further.

Hong Zhou was not very happy, and stretched out his small hand to grab the painting on it.

Although in Geng Yi's view, he is more like trying to catch the koi in the painting.

Geng Yi tapped Hongzhou's little nose with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "I just drew one, and there is another koi that I didn't draw."

The other koi is also mainly black and white. She drew one just now, and this time the movement is faster than before.

In the end, Geng Yi was a little worried when adding silver, because there was no silver in the paint.

This kind of white color with a little silver is really difficult to do. The silver color cannot be mixed with pigments, and there is no ready-made one. Usually, metals are added in it to make the silver color appear.

Seeing Geng Yi stop his hands, frowning and worrying, Mother Hu asked: "Master's painting is quite good, what's wrong?"

Geng Yi pointed to the koi in the painting and said, "Without the silver color, I don't know how to make this thing."

Madam Hu and the maids beside her suddenly bowed their heads in salute, and when Geng Yi turned around, he saw the fourth elder brother unexpectedly.

Since he entered the garden, every time he came here, he was a little elusive, and Geng Yi gradually got used to it.

The fourth elder brother pointed at the painting and said with a smile: "The painting is not bad. Just now you said that the silver color is missing, so let someone burn it later."

Silver may need to try a few different metals to see which one is closer to silver and can be used on drawing paper.

Geng Yi asked strangely: "Master, where did you find someone to burn it? Is it a porcelain kiln?"

The fourth elder brother replied: "The porcelain kiln is a little far away, just open up a piece of land in the corner of the garden, and let someone build a kiln to burn it."

It is said to be a corner, and it is estimated to be far away from here. In fact, it is not far from the porcelain kilns in the suburbs of Beijing.

But the porcelain kiln is in the garden, so there is no need to go out of the garden, the things can be delivered immediately.

Geng Yi suddenly had a bad premonition, and asked: "Is the master planning to have someone build a porcelain kiln, and then burn porcelain in the garden as well?"

The fourth elder brother nodded unsurprisingly and said: "I live here in the garden, and I have to detour to send someone to the porcelain kiln. It's better to take the craftsman over. After I have a look at it, I can send it directly to the palace. go."

Dare to feel that this was burned for the emperor, no wonder he is so caring.

And outside the garden, it is more conspicuous to send people to and fro, and anyone on the road can see it.

Running back and forth in the garden is not so conspicuous.

They have to be fired anyway, so I simply used the silver that Geng Yi needed to try firing a new kiln, and I was able to repeatedly adjust to the best temperature.

The craftsmen were sent over on the same day, and they were all familiar with this, and they quickly set up the porcelain kiln.

After the simple burning, there was no problem, so I started to burn various silver metals to make pigments for Geng Yi.

Some metals will turn black after burning, and some will turn green. After repeated many kinds of metals, they finally burnt out silver, and they were sent over immediately.

Geng Yi was also able to finish the painting of the double koi carp. In fact, most of it has already been completed, just waiting for the silver paint, and a few strokes on the back of the koi carp are enough.

Although half of the fresh water is changed every day, the koi is still getting weaker every day.

I don’t know if the fish tank is still not big enough, or the koi are uncomfortable being stared at by Hong Zhou every day. She finished drawing the koi, handed it to Hong Zhou and explained to him: “I drew these two koi. , I’ll ask someone to replace it with a new koi, it’s just as beautiful, is that okay?”

Hong Zhou listened in a daze, looked at the painting, and then at the fish tank, as if he didn't understand why two koi became four.

Geng Yi asked the eunuch to carry the fish tank away, and Hong Zhou understood this, and he groaned twice to express his dissatisfaction.

She had no choice but to repeat it, seeing that Hongzhou didn't understand, so she took him to follow the eunuch who changed the koi to the place where Niu Gulu Gege lived.

The koi on Niu Gulu Gege's side was also listless, and he planned to replace it, but Hongli didn't cry, and watched with great interest as the eunuch put the koi back, and then began to fish for new koi and bring them up.

Hongli also knew that a koi that was too small would not work, and would whine and chirp to express his dissatisfaction, and asked the eunuchs to catch another one.

Hong Zhou watched the eunuch put the koi into the lake, and then started to fish for new koi. He suddenly understood what Geng Yi said just now. Urged her to quickly let the eunuch change the koi.

Looking at the two youngest supervisors, Geng Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "He didn't quite understand the explanation to Hongzhou twice, so I had to bring him over to have a look, and now I understand. He also knows how to pick and choose." Pick it up, let’s command people.”

Niu Gulu Gege also laughed and said: "No, Hongli refused to move his feet here. Fortunately, he didn't cry when he released the koi. I guess he knew there were still koi in the pond, so he didn't mind at all. Take it easy."

Because there is such a big fish pond, Hongli doesn't feel that he will be missing only two koi. Occasionally, he will let the nanny stand by the lake with him, as if to inspect the koi he owns.

The end of the koi could not be seen at a glance, and there were too many to count. After the eunuch fished for Hongli, he began to fish for Hongzhou, and Hongli had no objection.

Anyway, I only got two, and Hongli thought he could afford it!

This was guessed by Geng Yi, the main thing was that Hongli was really not making trouble, so he stepped forward with a smile and praised: "Hongli is so good, he looks really good when he smiles today."

Hongli grinned, showing a toothless smile, so cute that Geng Yi wanted to bow his head and kiss him.

But before she could move, she was slapped lightly on the arm, and when she turned her head, she realized that it was Hong Zhou's masterpiece.

He looked over with a displeased face, Geng Yi immediately turned around and said: "Our Hong Zhou is more obedient, look at this pretty little face, it doesn't look good when you are angry!"

Hongzhou took a look at her, and was coaxed softly by Geng Yi holding his little hand, and his face softened.

Geng Yi thought that he should stay away from praising other children in the future, so that Hong Zhou would not hear him.If you hear it, you have to praise Hong Zhou twice!

The child was usually lazy, and Geng Yi felt that she had already praised her back, so he shouldn't care about it anymore.

At night, Geng Yi went to bed and was going to sleep, but Nanny Hu said that the nanny couldn't coax Hong Zhou to sleep, so she insisted on coming.

As a last resort, Geng Yi had no choice but to ask the nanny to bring Hong Zhou over to see what was going on, not to mention that his small body was uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, when Hong Zhou came over, he hummed and expressed his dissatisfaction, and rubbed his eyes, obviously he was sleepy and refused to sleep.

Geng Yi sat in front of the couch and hugged him, and was urged to pat his arm twice by the little hand.

She was stunned, seeing Hong Zhou's unhappy face.

Geng Yi thought to himself, right?

She could only praise Hong Zhou a few more times with sleepiness, and the latter was finally satisfied, leaning against Geng Yi and fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Geng Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he hugged the child, not only did Hongzhou inherit the fact of holding grudges, but he was not lazy about it at all!
