I heard my brother is a tyrant

Feeling guilty about the iced watermelon, Ye Chu obediently ate a dinner, a small bowl of shredded chicken cold noodles mixed with shredded cucumber and sesame sauce, half a bowl of winter melon and fish ball soup, plus a few other dishes to taste. Had a decent full meal.

In the past few days, she only relied on eating some serious meals in the morning and evening. When it was hot at noon, people who were so serious about Ye Hui's meals had no appetite, and Ye Chu even ate some melons and fruits to get by.

Summer is good for nourishment, and the three-month period is the best time of the year to recuperate and recuperate. During this time, Ye Chu ate the heart-nourishing pills sent by Xu Yuanzhi, plus the medicinal diet for nourishing the body and strengthening the spleen, but those medicinal diets were terrible. It takes a lot of effort to stew it out, and she probably can't eat much in the bitter summer.

Yangxin Pills are made into big honey pills, the refined honey pills are the size of pigeon eggs, they need to be chewed, they taste weird in the mouth, Ye Chu couldn't swallow them at all, so he had to grind them into small ones every time, and drink it with warm water.

Seeing the servant girl bringing the pill wrapped in wax paper, Ye Chu curled his lips and complained: "Physician Xu still said that this is not bad. He must have never tasted it himself. It is obviously very bad."

Xie Dan laughed, and reached out to take it.The maids gradually got used to Xie Dan doing it by himself, and bowed back, Xie Dan spread a clean white silk on the tray, took a small piece of the pills, and rubbed them into pea-sized pieces with his fingertips.He rubbed it, and Ye Chu also rubbed it with his hands, twisting the small pill and turning it gently on his fingertips, taking a good medicine and playing with it.

After rubbing it, Xie Dan held a handful of small pills in his palm, waited for her to squeeze three or two pills at a time, took a sip of water, and swallowed with a frown.

In conjunction with taking medicine, Xu Yuanzhi suggested Ye Chu take a walk for at least a quarter or two every day after taking his pulse.She was so hot that she didn't want to move, so Xie Dan supervised her to carry out the doctor's orders every day after meals.

He took her by the hand and went out, walked slowly into the garden after leaving the courtyard, followed by a few maids and servants not far or near.

The half moon hangs high, the sky is full of stars, it's already night, and I can't feel a breeze, but what is blowing is a heat wave, Ye Chu instantly wants to hide in the room where the ice mirror is placed.

"Hot. Brother, I'm tired. Let's go back to the house for a walk, shall we?" Ye Chu refused to leave, dragging Xie Dan to play tricks.

Xie Dan said: "Hey, I'll take you to see something good."

"What good thing? It's probably coaxing me again."

"I won't coax you."

The garden is too big, Ye Chu has been here for a month or two, but he hasn't visited the garden carefully, every time he comes, he just tastes it, and he goes back after a short walk.This time, Xie Dan led her along the Huashi path.

Walking past the waterside pavilions, pavilions, and large gardens, Xie Dan took her to a riverside, pointed to a tall object vaguely in the night, and said, "Look, I'm not kidding you."

Most of the gardens of the rich and powerful in Beijing are built along the river for landscape use. The river passes through the city all the way and flows into the Taiye Pool.This place intercepts a section of naturally curved river, and the bend of the river forms a lake, with lotus and weeping willows along the river, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Ye Chu followed the direction of Xie Dan's finger and looked over. There was a huge round wheel on the surface of the river, one or two feet high, and there was a smaller one side by side. It was not clear under the moonlight.

"what is this?"

"Waterwheel." Xie Dan smiled, "The craftsmen were building it a few days ago. I thought you could be more diligent and discover it by yourself when you visit the garden. You just come and take a look."

Ye Chu has seen the waterwheel before. She has seen few people and experiences, but she has visited many places and seen many scenery. Xie Dan took her to live in hiding in the Wuyue area before. The waterwheel used to irrigate the rice fields is not so big, and I have never seen two of them side by side like this. What are they built in the garden?

"What for?" she asked.

"It's for playing with water to cool off."

Xie Dan then told her that the small water wheel can be pulled by oxen, and the big water wheel next to it can be driven, so that the water wheel can be continuously raised.

"As for how to play in the water to cool off, it's late today, you can come and see for yourself tomorrow." Xie Dan made a fool of himself.

Ye Chu knew that his brother was deliberately teasing her curiosity, and wanted her to take a walk, but if he insisted on asking her to come for a walk tomorrow, it can only be said that his strategy succeeded.

"Okay, then I'll come tomorrow." Ye Chu nodded, turned his eyes and decided to win the round, and asked, "Then what do you do now?"

"Of course go back to bed."

"Well," Ye Chu said slowly, "but I'm tired, I can't walk anymore, I won't go."

"Okay, I'll carry you on my back."

Coaxing her to walk all the way tonight, Xie Dan squatted down from Shan Ruliu, and carried her back.

When Mrs. He heard that the girl had come back, she rushed out of the house to greet her. She was startled when she went out. There were lanterns hanging under the eaves, and she could see clearly from the courtyard. walked in.

After walking into the room, Xie Dan put Ye Chu down, the road is not close, even he was sweating all over.

Ye Chu didn't seem to feel guilty at all, took the plum water from the maid and handed it to him, and when he was drinking, he took out a silk handkerchief and reached out on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"Brother, are you tired? Brother has worked hard."

If it weren't for that little smiling face, the brat might still be a little sincere.

Xie Dan grabbed her little hand, took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his face, angrily said: "You can't tire brother with your weight, it's too hot, okay?"

Ye Chu: "Hahaha..."

She laughed enough, grabbed his hand, tiptoed to look at the plum water in his bowl and acted like a baby, "Brother, can you give me a drink?"

This Fragrant Snow Plum Blossom Water is a popular cold drink in luxury homes in Beijing at this time. In winter, the half-opened plum blossom buds are picked off and sealed with fried salt. In summer, take a few plum blossom buds and rinse them with boiling water. It blooms immediately, and the blooming red plums line the sky celadon teacup, bringing elegance and coolness to people in the midsummer heat.

When the plum blossom water is cold, add a spoonful of Sophora japonica honey, a spoonful of rose dew, and a tablespoon of finely crushed ice and snow, and drink it instead of tea. In the weather of May, Yellow and June, you will feel cool, refreshing and extremely fragrant.

It's just that the Fragrant Snow Plum Blossom Water in Ye Chuwu's house is not worthy of its name, it doesn't add ice, it can only be kept at room temperature.The bowl in Xie Dan's hands, the maids saw that he was too hot, so they added a spoonful of white snow stored in the winter ice cellar, looking at it made people greedy.

"You can't drink..." Xie Dan half-sentenced, looking at her anxious little face, he couldn't hold back, and compromised, "Just take a sip, just take a sip."

As he spoke, he brought the half-drunk tea cup to her mouth. Ye Chu took a small sip, sighed contentedly, and smiled with his eyes closed.

"Good boy." Xie Tan lovingly pinched her cheek and called the servant girl, "Wait for the girl to take a bath and go to bed, and ask the maid on duty to move the ice mirror away."

The maids bowed their heads and said yes, Xie Dan left and returned to his room, it was still early before he went to bed, so he took a shower first, and sat in front of the desk, deciding to read the six newly delivered reports before going to bed.

After Ye Chu picked her up, he ran back and forth every day, and he had to spend more time. In order to rush back to have dinner with her, some government affairs couldn't be handled in time, and he would gradually bring them back to read.

After Xie Dan left, Ye Chu went to take a bath in the side room. She still couldn't get used to the maids helping her bathe, and the maids didn't dare to withdraw and let her wash by herself, so the two sides formed a tacit understanding. Just guarding behind a screen, taking care of him at any time, passing bath beans, handkerchiefs and the like.

He didn't leave tonight, but also followed in, standing behind the screen hesitating to speak several times, seeing that the four springs were still there and didn't say anything.

When Ye Chu finished washing and returned to the main room with her wet black hair loose, He finally waited for the opportunity, took the towel handkerchief and said: "You all go down too, and I will call the girls on duty to come in later. I dried the girl's hair and put her to bed."

Chunjiang guessed that she probably had something to say to Ye Chu in private, but he still said, "Aunt He, it's not okay to wipe the girl's hair bald, don't cover the moisture, you have to spread it out with a cotton scarf to dry it." .”

He smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll spread it out with a towel after I finish wiping, and hand me the fan, and I'll fan her to dry."

The maids retreated, and when they reached the door, Chun Jiang called Chunliu, Tian Xing, and Putao who were on duty at night, and said, "Stay guard at this door, and be smarter."

In the room, seeing everyone went out, Ye Chuxian asked, "Auntie, do you have something to tell me?"

"Amitabha, the girl has broken the old slave." Mrs. He changed a dry towel to wipe her hair, and said with a soft sigh, "The girl is still willing to call me auntie, this servant is also sincerely toward the girl , Our affection is always no better than others."

"I know my aunt loves me." Ye Chu thought for a while, and said slowly, "Does my aunt still want me to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and etiquette? My brother said that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are actually of no practical use. Don't ask me to learn. As for etiquette and rules, my brother didn't ask me to learn it now, it should be because he thinks I don't need to learn now, my brother has his reasons for doing things, so don't worry about my aunt."

He hurriedly said: "That's right, the lord has his own plans, how dare the slaves talk too much. What the slaves want to say is not this. The slaves think that the lord is now a noble person, and the girl should not always act coquettishly with the lord and order him around He does this and that. He is your elder brother. Even if he is an ordinary person, it is better for you to respect him a little. Courtesy is undeniable. Your lord is in a high position and you are busy with things, so you might as well be more considerate and caring, as it should be. .”

He shi paused, always feeling as if she hadn't understood what she said, but facing the ignorant and ignorant Ye Chu, she didn't know what to say to understand.

After thinking about it for a while, He said softly: "The servant said something that shouldn't be said. The girl will depend on the adult for everything in the future. If the adult loves you, you should also have a sense of proportion. You must learn to please the adult."

Mrs. He has kept these words in her heart for more than a day or two. Ever since she came to the capital and lived in this house, Mrs. He has been thinking about it every day. Waiting for him to peel the prawns and add vegetables, it is difficult to provide him with various conditions, serve tea and water when drinking medicine, and even like tonight, after a long journey and hot weather, the emperor insisted on carrying her all the way back.

After all, Mrs. He stayed in the palace before. As a low-level court lady, even though she has never even seen the emperor's face, she deeply knows what is the imperial power of heaven and what is the king of a country.

To put it bluntly, the former dynasty and the harem did not all rely on the emperor's favor to live their lives. The emperor in the name of a benevolent monarch, a disgust, this favor is gone if it is gone.

In particular, His Majesty and the girl lived among the people, and they were once in a difficult situation, but now he is the emperor. May I ask which high-ranking person is willing to remind people of the time when he was in trouble and humbleness?

Seeing it with her own eyes, Mrs. He also knew that the emperor cherished the girl very much. It can be said that he loved her so much that the maids and women in the courtyard were secretly frightened.

But the more this is the case, the more He feels uneasy. People are not happy for a thousand days, and flowers are not popular for a hundred days. Apart from the emperor, the girl has no father, brother, and natal family to rely on. Emperor, it is not so safe.

Not long after the emperor ascended the throne, people's minds tend to change over time. Now, only by firmly grasping the emperor's heart can the girl have a better future.

He said: "Your maidservant knows that adults treat girls differently. Girls and adults are not in a normal relationship. But the more this is the case, the more you can't lose your sense of proportion. This relationship will last for a long time. Now that the girl is getting older, she understands There are too many things to do, just listen to the words of the servants, and in the future in front of the adults, be more obedient and please the adults more, you can't have no rules of respect like this."

Ye Chu was very confused, is there something wrong with her that made her brother not like it?Or should she deliberately please her brother?

But it was always her elder brother who made her happy. Why did she deliberately please her elder brother.
