I heard my brother is a tyrant

In early spring, in the early morning, the river is rippling with silver waves, and a fishing boat drags the mottled morning glow, leisurely rowing towards the river.

On the fish pier by the river, it was already busy early in the morning.

There are people on the river, but they love the beauty of perch.To say that the best time for sea bass taste is early spring, when the ice and snow melt and the river water is clear. At this time, the sea bass has gone through the whole winter and seldom eats.When the peach blossom spring floods are over and the heat rises, the fish will inevitably smell of mud.

Bass are scarce and die when they leave the water. In order to eat a fresh bite, there will be stewards from rich families at the fish pier by the river to buy them early in this season.A red sun has just climbed up Dongshan, and the early fishing boats have already returned. The fisherman is sitting on the bow of the boat. On the deck, there is a perch weighing about two kilograms and a few miscellaneous fish. This morning, It can be regarded as a good harvest.

A sharp-eyed boy hurriedly shouted: "Boatman, you are lucky today, sell me, sell me, I want this perch."

"I'm sorry," the fisherman bowed his hands with joy on his face, "there's already a master, and Father Ye made the decision yesterday."

"Hey, whoever sells is not selling, and I won't give you less money. You give it to me first. My master invited all the famous and famous people in Luzhou City to the banquet today. He specially ordered this steamed sea bass. "

"Oh, I'm really sorry, why don't I ask other boat owners for you? They've made an appointment first, and Father Ye is a regular customer. He has to patronize me several times a month. It's hard for him to say that I don't keep my word. .”

While talking, he saw Father Ye walking along the river embankment from a distance. He was taller, dressed in a green cloth robe, and walked very leisurely.

The fisherman squatted beside the boat, cut open the abdomen and scraped the scales of the fish in the river water, and pierced it with willow branches.Father Ye came to the front, greeted everyone with a smile, took the packed fish, paid the money, and carried away with his hands behind his back.

The boy didn’t buy it just now, he probably hurt his face, looked at Ye’s back and sneered, “This old man is really tricky, and I think he’s just a small family, he can’t compare with my master, he can If you have a little money, you have to eat this perch, and why do poor people eat this stuff."

"You don't know that. Although Father Ye is not a rich family, he is not poor either. He lives on this mountain. He has a house and a few acres of land. It's not that he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. I can't afford it."

So someone broke the conversation.Father Ye's real name is Ye Fu, and he was not a local. Hearing that his hometown was hit by a military disaster, he brought his family to Luzhou and settled down here.

To say that this Luzhou Prefecture is located in a remote and remote area, surrounded by mountains, and a great river passes through it. Although it is not a prosperous and prosperous place, it is also like a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters.In the recent years of war in the Central Plains, two emperors died in less than half a year, but the Luzhou area was not affected much, and there were many refugees like Ye Fu who had fled.

Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the world is at peace, and the common people can finally recuperate.

Someone laughed and said, "That's a well-to-do family. I heard that he only had three daughters, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers, and they don't worry about getting married. What are you saving money for? I would be willing to eat and wear it instead."

"You don't know, he has only two daughters, and the other is actually his niece. I heard that his parents died when he was young, so he had to be adopted by Ye Lao's family. His two daughters are good-looking, and he has a matchmaker for a long time. Let’s ask, it’s not certain that he will marry into a wealthy family in the future. It’s just that his niece doesn’t go out very often, and I haven’t seen her very much.”

Then everyone began to discuss, some people said that Ye Lao's niece was probably a poor little girl, an orphan who was taken in by her uncle and aunt, and had two beautiful cousins, one can imagine the poor little girl's situation.

"Think about it, it's been a few years since his family moved here. I usually only see his two daughters going to the streets to buy flowers and powder. Has anyone of you ever seen his niece? She must be doing laundry and cooking at home, and working as a maid. So, maybe she will be tortured and abused, lest outsiders find out, so she is not allowed to come out."

Some people also said that Papa Ye's wife, Mrs. He, looked very shrewd. She would not treat her two daughters kindly if she was willing to support her husband's niece.Having said that, for an orphan girl, it would be considered righteous for Father Ye to take her in. If it were a cruel one, it would be easy to sell it for a few taels of silver.

For a while, it was convincing, as if seeing it with my own eyes.

Ye Laopa, who was at the center of the topic, was already walking back home leisurely along the mountain path with his fish in his hands.Walking through a section of the mountain road, several families appeared on the relatively gentle slope halfway up the mountain. The eaves were hidden in the green trees, and the small village could not be smaller.

The bluestone wall courtyard of the Ye family's house is made of local materials, simple but well-kept, a fence is tied around the courtyard, and green vegetable beds are planted.Father Ye walked through the fenced vegetable field, opened the courtyard door, and handed the fish to his wife He Shi.

He added water to the clean pot, first cleaned the fish again, removed the bone and sliced ​​the fish meat, chopped the fish bones into pieces, took a fine porcelain casserole, heated the oil in the pot, sautéed the onion and ginger until fragrant, put in the fish head and fish bones and fried, Add water to simmer the soup.Stewed until the casserole gurgled, and the small hole in the lid of the pot released a burst of fragrant and rich heat. He changed the fire to a low fire and simmered on the stove.

When the sun rose and heard movement in the East Wing, Mrs. He restarted the stove and started the pot, took gauze and carefully filtered the fish soup, filtered out the fish bones and fish bones, and put in fish fillets and wrapped fresh meat wontons , Cover the pot and cook for a while, the snow-white fish fillets and wontons are rolling and rolling in the milky white soup, then turn off the heat and remove the cover, put them into a plain white porcelain bowl, and put them on a vermilion lacquer tray.

"Ye Hui, tell my sister to eat." He stretched out his head and called out.

Ye Hui walked to the east wing, walked to the door, raised her hand and tapped twice, and heard a soft and sweet voice from inside the room: "Here you are." Ye Hui pushed the door open with a smile and went in.

The girl in the room was only twelve or thirteen years old, her eyes were light, her skin was as white as jade, the bright sunlight shone on her face through the window pane, her snow-white and delicate face seemed to be transparent, and a layer of unreal halo.

Ye Hui looked at the girl unconsciously pursing her lips into a smile, and sighed in her heart. People outside praised the Ye family's pair of sisters for their beauty. If they saw this one hidden at home, they would probably know what Shu Se Wu Shuang is.

"Ah Chu woke up, did you sleep well at night?"

"Second Sister." Ye Chu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his brows and eyes curved, and he showed a cute smile.

She originally got up to open the door for Ye Hui, but when she saw her coming in, she sat back in front of the mirror and continued combing her black hair.Ye Hui took the comb, and helped her comb her black hair into two buns, tied them with ribbons, and picked out a pearl hairpin for her to attach to the side of the bun.

The two cousins ​​packed up and went to the main room. Mrs. He had already put the food on the table. When she saw them coming in, she smiled and said, "Ah Chu woke up? Come over and have dinner. I made your favorite fish soup wontons this morning."

"Auntie." Ye Chu hurriedly walked over to help her spread the chopsticks, while smiling, "I'm sleepy again, and I told my elder sister to wake me up earlier last night, and she will be gone when I wake up."

But He smiled and said angrily: "I didn't call you on purpose. It's not too late now, you are tired in spring and autumn, you are young, and it is time to grow your body, so you must get enough sleep. You are the youngest in the family. Besides, there is no other work at home, so why do you want to get up so early?"

"Where's uncle and big sister?"

Mrs. He said that Father Ye went out after eating first, and the eldest daughter Ye Ling went down the mountain early in the morning.

"Big sister said she was going to buy rouge on the street, and mother told her to buy some more fabric for us to make our spring clothes. This season, our clothes must be smaller again." Ye Hui handed the chopsticks to Ye Chu, and said with a smile , "Eat yours quickly, the fish soup will become fishy when it is cold."

Ye Chu didn't know that in the outside world, she had become a poor little girl who was dependent on others and was bullied.

In fact, her uncle, aunt, and cousin were very kind to her.Ye Chu was weak since she was a child, the doctor said that she was born prematurely, and some deficiencies brought about by the mother's womb must be carefully raised.That's why the uncle, aunt and cousin took good care of her, not to mention asking her to work and do housework, the cool breeze didn't dare to let her blow too much, and she was so careful in caring that when she first came to her uncle's house, Ye I was not even used to it at first.

Ye Chu was not raised by Ye Lao's family since she was a child, and she is not an orphan, she actually has an older brother.

Ye Chu's memory is late, and he doesn't remember anything before the age of six or seven. Anyway, since he can remember, his brother is the only relative.According to my brother, her father died before she was born, and her mother died of illness before she was three years old, leaving only the two siblings to depend on each other.

Ye Chu's elder brother is named Ye Zhi, who is ten years older than her. He brought her up single-handedly. The two brothers and sisters have suffered a lot due to the war and chaos these years.Elder brother is Ye Chu's only close relative in this world, the only reliance on him, he can be said to be both father and brother.

Three years ago, his elder brother brought Ye Chu here to join his relatives, and it was only then that Ye Chu knew that they had an uncle in this world.It was also helpless for the elder brother to bring her to visit relatives. The brother and sister had to make a living. At that time, the elder brother decided to go out to make a living. He really couldn't take her with him, so he entrusted Ye Chu to his uncle and aunt to take care of him.

As a result, my brother left for three years.There were wars and chaos, letters were difficult to communicate, and after a few letters came back, they only said that everything was fine, told her to live in peace at her uncle's and aunt's house, and did not say when she would come back.

After breakfast, Mr. Xu from the village came.

Originally, there was no doctor in the small village. Xu Langzhong came to this mountain with a cage and two medicine boys a few months ago, saying that he wanted to find a place to live in seclusion to write a book and edit his half-life medical manuscripts. He liked the quietness of this mountain. Just stayed here.

Since he came to the village, he took the medicine boy to climb mountains to collect herbs all day long, or hid at home to write and draw pictures on a pile of herbs. Sometimes the villagers came to him for medical treatment.Old man Ye said that Mr. Xu seems to have good medical skills, so he asked him to help Ye Chu take care of his body.Xu Langzhong is enthusiastic, and will come to visit every few days.

Mr. Xu was in his fifties, and his beard and hair were already grey. Mrs. He hurriedly asked him to sit down and told Ye Hui to pour tea quickly.Xu Langzhong sat down on his own, pushed the pulse pillow across the stone table, and Ye Chu put his wrist on it.

After he finished his pulse diagnosis, He smiled and said, "I took the pills you gave me last time, and I saw that she has improved in her eating, and she even ate more than half a bowl of fish soup wontons and a piece of radish cake this morning. For a while, I didn't notice anything."

"The medicine warms and nourishes the spleen and stomach. The girl is young now, and her body has not yet grown up. She must first regulate her spleen and stomach, and eat well, so as to nourish the weak in the fetus." Xu Langzhong raised his pen and ink, and instructed , "Take the pill for another half a month, and I will write you two more medicinal recipes. If you have time, make it for her."

A few days later, this pulse case and prescription were sent to the desk of the Emperor Zichen Palace.

The night was dark, and there was silence in the Zichen Palace, as if one could hear the dripping of the copper pot.The young emperor's face was indifferent, his brows were cold, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his knuckle fingers picked up the few pieces of paper to read.

Eunuch Chen stood beside the case, looked at the face of the emperor, and said with a smile: "The girl is young and still growing up. If she really eats the food first, she will surely grow up safely and healthily. The servants are thinking about it, but they don't know The food is not delicious, if you want to talk about the craftsmanship, you have to talk about the imperial dining room, or should the servants pick someone who is good at medicinal food and is a decent person, and find a reason to send it to the girl?"

"No need."

The cold spring has passed, and the world is in his hands, so he can take her to Beijing.

The young emperor looked indifferent, but his fingertips were caressing the paper that recorded her daily life.It is a long distance from Luzhou to the capital. It will take about two months. She can walk slowly. The journey is warm and the flowers are blooming.Even if it was slower, the end of April should have arrived, and it would not delay her birthday on Duanyang Festival.
