I heard my brother is a tyrant

Chapter 18 Fried Lotus

Ye Chu thought for a while and asked He Shi: "For example?"

"For example, when your lord comes, you should get up and greet him, and when your lord leaves, you should see him off. He is busy late every day, and the girl asks someone to make soup for him and make a supper for him. He is busy , you should pay more attention to him, even ordinary people, it is nothing more than this courtesy."

He also told Ye Chu some dining etiquette, not to let Xie Dan serve her all the time, let alone put down the chopsticks after eating.

He said: "The servants are not trying to find fault with the girl, the servants are also sincerely for the good of the girl, not to mention our family, even the ordinary rich and noble families must pay attention to the rules and etiquette, the girl must treat the adults with more respect. "

If you say that, Ye Chu thinks that she is a little out of order, but... that is her brother, my dear, who raised her single-handedly since she was a child, and the two of them have always been like this. What if you don't like her?

If he dares, then she ignores him.

Ye Chu listened to He's rambling for a long time, while thinking in his heart, while feeling drowsy, he began to stare.She yawned and said softly with a nasal voice: "Okay, I see, Aunt He, you can go to bed too."

He was very helpless with her unprogressive appearance, but seeing that she had closed her eyes and fell asleep, and couldn't continue talking about her, so she had no choice but to retreat, and went to the door to change the maid on duty at night to come in.

When Ye Chu got up early the next morning, he obediently let the servant girl wash and dress up, and went to the garden to watch the waterwheel after eating.

After a long journey, when Ye Chu walked slowly, he saw other buildings around the waterwheel.A pavilion with a hexagonal flat roof was built on the river more than ten feet away from the original waterwheel. The cornices of glazed tiles shone brightly in the sun, and verandahs were connected at both ends.

Walking along the veranda, the willows are shaded, the view is wide, the space in the pavilion is spacious, and there is a beauty couch with a white jade back screen and small tables and chairs.

Ye Chu sat down on the slum, and asked with great interest: "So my brother built a pavilion, is it for watching the waterwheel?"

Chun Jiang pursed his lips and smiled, "Girl, you can wait at ease, sit down and drink a bowl of sherbet."

During the bitter summer, the kitchen often makes sherbet for her.Today's sherbet uses bayberry juice, which is boiled with lily and rose petals to clear away heat and heat. There is a lingering fragrance of roses besides sweet and sour.

Ye Chu took a few sips of the sherbet, and quietly asked Ye Hui who was beside him, "Do you know what they're up to?"

"I didn't know, I'm with you all day long." Ye Hui pouted and asked Ye Ling, "Do you know?"

Ye Ling dutifully stood by the pavilion, glanced at Ye Hui profoundly but did not answer, so Ye Chu waited with peace of mind.She hadn't finished drinking a glass of sherbet, but the waterwheel was already turning, with the sound of splashing water, and the continuous splash of water brought a refreshing feeling.

After a while, there was a sudden crash, and it rained from all sides of the pavilion.

Looking carefully, it is not raining, the sun is shining on the river, the water curtains around the pavilion are like waterfalls, and the silver and bright water waterfalls are pouring down like raindrops.

Ye Chu let out a cry of surprise, and hurried over, stretched out his hand to lift the water curtain, the water flowed over his fingertips and felt cool and comfortable, and the maids followed suit to play, the pavilion was filled with laughter like silver bells from the girls .

Ye Hui looked around, ran into the veranda again and went crazy, ran back excitedly and gave Ye Chuyi a thumbs up: "I see, you really have the ability to bring disaster to the country and the people."

Ye Chu frowned: "?"

"What are you talking about, you are the one who is bringing disaster to the country and the people!" Ye Chu protested against Ye Hui's inexplicable remarks.

Ye Hui asked herself that she didn't have the ability, but she didn't dare to continue on this topic, so she smirked.

Ye Hui thought about it inside and out, stretched out her hand to hook the corridor, and unexpectedly turned over and flew up amidst the exclamation of the maids.

When Ye Chu saw her fly away, he quickly trotted along the other side of the corridor to the shore, and saw Ye Hui standing on the top of the corridor with his mouth open in surprise.Soon Ye Hui jumped down like a monkey, and ran to Ye Chu's side with a proud face.

"I figured it out. The roof of the veranda here is not flat. It has been made into a water channel. It is made of fir wood brushed with tung oil. The water wheel is used to bring the water up and send it to the pavilion through the veranda. Hey, these skilled craftsmen are so amazing. It's amazing, who made it," Ye Hui said.

"Aren't there skilled craftsmen?" Chun Jiang smiled while covering his mouth, "Your Excellency asked someone to build this pavilion, and specifically ordered it. From now on, the girl has breakfast every morning, so she can walk here while it's cool, and stay in the pavilion." Practice calligraphy, read books, listen to music, etc., just eat lunch in the pavilion, and walk back when it gets cold in the evening. The pavilion is naturally cool, and there is no need to use ice in the house."

This is a good plan, and it was built on this place intentionally, so that she can walk there in a quarter of an hour in the morning, and walk back in a quarter of an hour in the evening.

Sly brother.

However, knowing that he was "calculated" by his brother, Ye Chu couldn't refuse this cool, comfortable and happy temptation.

Ye Chu curled his lips, went back to the pavilion obediently, and asked Ye Hui, "I still don't believe my brother said you know how to punch and kick. How did you fly up?"

Ye Hui said: "People don't have wings, how can they fly? Didn't I just climb the veranda and jump up?"

"No, I clearly saw that you flew up when you put your hands together." Ye Chu asked Ye Hui, "Can I learn, you teach me, at worst I will recognize you as a master."

"It's not that I don't want to teach you." Ye Hui said seriously, "You are weak, and you will be tired if you walk for a while, how can you bear this hardship. Besides, when I was four or five years old, I asked my master to pick it up and start learning. You can't learn now."

Well, Ye Chu lay down on the beauty's couch discouragedly, the cool breeze in the pavilion was blowing, the water was tinkling, and he just spent the whole morning like this.Chunjiang said: "This pavilion doesn't have a name yet. My lord said, ask the girl to name it."

It's naming again, and the pavilions and pavilions in the garden also said that they wanted her to name them, and my brother clearly wanted to find a job for her on purpose.Ye Chu then asked Ye Hui: "How about calling it the Playing Water Pavilion?"

Ye Hui's accusatory eyes: "Can you make it easier?"

Ye Chu: "Then it's called Qingliangting. It's so good, it's worthy of the name." Under Ye Hui's teasing eyes, he simply asked the servant girl to bring a brush and ink, and wrote down the three words "Qingliangting" with a big stroke of the pen, making people Send it to the craftsman to make a plaque.

It was midsummer in June, and the lotus leaves on the lake met the sky, and red and white lotus flowers protruded from the lotus leaves of the jasper disc, blooming vigorously, so a dish of "fried lotus flowers" was served from the kitchen for lunch.

This deep-fried lotus flower dish is made by wrapping fresh white lotus petals with flour and egg liquid, frying them carefully in an oil pan over low heat. The petals are golden in color, and placed in the shape of flowers on a celadon plate covered with lotus leaves. Decorate with a few real petals, and it is so beautiful on the table that people are reluctant to eat it.

Ye Chu tasted a piece, and the petals were fried to a slightly sweet, soft and delicious taste, so he picked up a piece with chopsticks and gave it to Ye Hui: "It's delicious, come and taste it."

It was hot at noon, fearing that there would be too many people in the pavilion, all the maids were sent to eat and rest at the waterside pavilion next to the river bank. Only Chunjiang, Chunliu and Ye Hui were left in the pavilion, so Ye Hui became more courageous and opened her mouth directly. Catching the petals Ye Chu sent over, she ate them with a smile, her eyes lit up, she even said it was delicious, and hurried to touch the chopsticks.

"Delicious," Ye Hui asked, "Can lotus flowers be eaten?"

Ye Chu looked at her with disdainful eyes: "You've eaten it all in your stomach, isn't it too late if you can't eat?"

Ye Hui laughed too, and said hahaha: "It's nothing, it's definitely not poisonous."

Chunliu covered her mouth and smiled beside her, "Sister Hui, stop talking about it, lotus flowers are edible, so it's possible that the kitchen dares to make poisonous things."

A group of little daughters laughed and laughed together.

In the afternoon, Xu Yuanzhi came to ask for Ping An's pulse, and was taken all the way to Qingliang Pavilion.After feeling the pulse, Ye Hui asked him if he could eat lotus flowers, and Xu Yuanzhi said yes.

Xu Yuanzhi said: "Many flowers can be eaten. Lotus can clear away heat and reduce turbidity, soothe the mind and calm the mind. It is suitable for girls to eat. There are people in the kitchen who are good at medicinal food. They must have put their heart into it. This season is just right. In the future You can make more lotus flowers, lotus roots and other food for the girl."

So the kitchen should be praised, so after Xu Yuanzhi left, Ye Chu asked someone to tip the kitchen, and said that when his brother came back for dinner tonight, he wanted this fried lotus dish.

This reward doesn't matter, the kitchen was so excited that a table of "Full Lotus Banquet" was prepared for dinner.

When Xie Dan came back in the evening, he went straight to the pavilion to look for Ye Chu. The little girl took a nap in the afternoon and played in the water again in the afternoon.

"Do you still like this pavilion?" Xie Dan asked.

Ye Chu nodded and said that he liked it very much, he stayed in the pavilion all day without warming her up, then he pulled him and said, "Brother, come quickly, we'll eat flowers tonight."

It was dusk, and the sheepskin palace lanterns under the pavilion were lit up, and the mosquito-repelling spices were quietly lit in the copper carved aroma diffuser beside the pavilion. Sitting opposite each other, watching the maidservants deliver "Full Lotus Banquets" one after another.

In addition to the fried lotus at noon, there are lotus leaf chicken, beef with lotus leaf, sweet-scented osmanthus fish in lotus leaf. The vegetarian dishes are a sweet and sour lotus root strip, a dish of assorted lotus root, and a rock sugar lotus seed soup with fresh lotus flowers. Even the staple food, Also steamed lotus leaf rice with pearl rice.

Xie Dan tasted everything one by one first, and said with a smile: "It's an interesting occasion, whoever made the kitchen should be rewarded."

Ye Chu said that she had already rewarded her in the afternoon, Xie Dan nodded and praised her: "Well, I have made progress, and my An'an has also learned to distinguish between rewards and punishments."

Ye Chu was a little happy, although she hadn't punished anyone yet.

The two sat opposite each other to eat, and sent all the servants down, leaving only two serving maids standing guard in the veranda outside the pavilion to listen to orders.

Now that the two have formed a habit, they simply withdraw from the servants when they eat alone, so as to save them from trembling and the two of them can't be at ease.

Xie Dan habitually served Ye Chu with vegetables and soup. He picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus fish. This fish has only one main thorn, but there are also some short thorns on the fins. Xie Dan carefully picked it out and put it into Ye Chu's bowl. .

"Brother, eat well by yourself." Ye Chu bit his chopsticks, recalling what Mrs. He told her last night, and said, "Brother, don't bring me vegetables and soup from now on. It's not that I don't know how to eat."

Xie Dan stopped his chopsticks, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Chu said: "It's nothing. It's so hot and you still have to be on duty for the emperor's guard. It's a hard day. When you come back, your clothes are soaked in sweat."

For some reason, Xie Dan always felt that in her soft and sweet voice, she seemed to blame the emperor who made him "on duty" in the hot weather.

"It's not as hard as you think." Xie Dan said with a smile, "I'm older than you, so it's only natural for my brother to take care of you."

"I'm afraid that my brother will work hard. I've grown up, so I don't need my brother to take care of me all day."

Ye Chu thought for a while and added, "Is it like this in other people's homes? I stay at home all day, eating, drinking and having fun, and my brother is busy all day long. It's not easy for my brother to make money to support me. I should be more considerate and take care of my brother."

Xie Dan smiled, met her black and white eyes, and asked firmly: "Who said anything to you?"

"Hey, you're still young, you should tell brother everything." Xie Dan coaxed.
