I heard my brother is a tyrant

"Brother." Seeing him coming, Ye Chu pulled him and said coquettishly, "You said last night that you would take me to the garden to enjoy the snow."

"But it's too cold outside."

"I don't care, anyway, you promised, don't let it go."

She raised her chin slightly, pouted her small mouth, with a small expression of arrogance and reluctance, Xie Dan laughed and said: "It's noon, we haven't had breakfast yet, so we'll go when we're full."

After lunch, Xie Dan asked someone to prepare the sedan chair, and asked the maid to get the big woolen clothes.

Chunliu brought the little maid and brought two red and fur cloaks. Seeing that the two masters were in a good mood during the Chinese New Year, Chunliu became more courageous in front of Xie Dan. Fushen smiled and said, "My lord, this is Steward Chang. The big fur cloak that was sent years ago was said to be for the girl to wear during the Chinese New Year. The girl had a lot of clothes, and the servants didn’t take them out to look at them at first, they just put them in the box. Now I took them out to find out that they are two pieces, the same style, just the size No, this one should be yours. This servant has the courage to think about wearing it for you and the girl, this color will definitely look good against the snow scene."

Xie Dan took it over and took a look, the squirrel fur lining and the brocade surface with dark patterns, he knew it was sent from the palace.

He thought to himself that Chen Lianjiang was still competing with this one. A while ago, he sent two identical sky blue feather satin capes, and now he got two identical cloaks.

The maids, as if they were facing an enemy, put on Ye Chu layer by layer silk jackets, a bean-green robe with a purple lambskin lining, thick cotton socks, small deerskin boots, and a big fur cloak. Before going out, he stuffed a small red copper sandalwood hand stove into her arms.

Ye Chu felt that she was dressed like a little bear at the moment, not to mention playing in the snow, she was even clumsy when she walked.There is no way, she has been suffering from illness these days, and she has hardly been out of the hospital all winter.

The warm sedan chair was carried straight to a pavilion in the garden, and the window was opened, facing a plum grove, and in the distance was the frozen river, occasionally a few reeds stood stubbornly on the river in the snow.

Ye Chu sat in the pavilion with a hand stove in his hand to enjoy the snow.She lay down by the window, looked at the silver-clad eyes and asked, "Brother, am I troublesome?"

"How could it be?" Xie Dan asked, "What's wrong?"

The little girl looked a little gloomy, and she paused and said sullenly: "I just realized that since I was a child, I can't do anything, and I can't do anything. It seems that I have no other use except to let you take care of me and trouble you. gone."

"Don't talk nonsense. What are you thinking about all day long?" Xie Dan said helplessly.

She was originally such a carefree little girl, but the fact that the two of them were not biological siblings finally left her with a care in her heart.

It was clear after the snow, and there was no wind, Xie Dan led her out of the pavilion and walked into the plum forest.The plum blossoms are just about to bloom, and there are not many bright red flowers on the trees, which are particularly eye-catching in the white snow.

The snow made it hard to walk, Xie Dan reached out to support her, and led her out for a while in the snow, Ye Chu's snow-white face was hidden in the big fur at the edge of the hood, and the bright red cloak made her look extra bright.

"You are just weak since you were a child, and people around you take care of you more. An An, you have never caused trouble to anyone."

Xie Dan told her slowly, "Brother likes An An, and his biggest wish is that you can be safe and happy, and live happily every day. You see, without you, I would be the only one left alone in this huge house. What's the meaning of it. Don't talk about such nonsense in the future."

Until the Lantern Festival, Xie Dan stayed in the house, accompanied her and coaxed her every day, afraid that she would just think about such a thing just now.

Originally, he planned to take her out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, but it turned out to be a cold and windy day, so he couldn't make it, which made Ye Chu feel a little disappointed.Unexpectedly, before dinner, Chang Shun begged to see her, and unexpectedly delivered dozens of lanterns of various kinds, hanging all over the yard, and the little girl's unhappiness was instantly wiped away.

It's really coaxing.

When Wei Chen came at night, he saw a pink and tender lotus lantern hanging under the corridor in Xie Dan's courtyard, and he couldn't help but smile playfully.

After entering the room and meeting Li, Xie Dan casually sat behind the desk and asked, "Did you not go to the Lantern Festival?"

"Don't go, there is a private appointment between men and women after dusk, both of them are right, and the minister is a bachelor, so I don't want to spoil the scenery." Wei Chen laughed, "Your Majesty, why didn't you go?"

"The weather is bad." Xie Dan said calmly, and then asked him in a different tone, "What do you want to see me tonight?"

"Your Majesty asked the minister to investigate the affairs of the county lord Jiayi. All the people sent by the minister a year ago have returned."

Back then, the Marquis of Dingbei offered a huge reward to find his lost wife and daughter. Just for the reward, many impostors were attracted.When the little daughter was separated, I heard that she was only two years old, and when the little daughter was born, the Dingbeihou was at the border, and he had never seen his daughter.

In this way, there will be more people who climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and impostors.It is said that during that period of time, there were several groups of people who brought five or six-year-old girls to recognize relatives at the gate of Dingbeihou's mansion every day.

Wei Chen said: "Back then, Guo Zijin was found from a farmhouse in the countryside of Bingzhou. It is said that Mrs. Guo's old servants identified it, and said that the girl had a small gold lock as a token. It was Mrs. Guo's treasure in the capital. The pavilion is specially made for the child in the womb, and the age, life experience, and experience are all suitable, especially she looks somewhat similar to Mrs. Guo."

He said and presented some papers.

Xie Dan heard Xiao Jinsuo frowned, took it over and flipped through the few pieces of paper, and asked calmly, "You only found these in two months? Just go to the street to inquire about these things, and you should have found out."

Wei Chen was embarrassed for a moment, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, the people sent out by the minister checked and checked, and indeed only found these things."

Xie Dan understood what he meant, either Guo Zijin was the real county lord, and there was nothing wrong with it; or, it was seven or eight years after this incident, someone deliberately erased all traces, and there was no way to investigate.

"The old servant who identified the owner of Jiayi County was indeed a servant girl by Mrs. Guo's side. When Mrs. Guo left Beijing, she let her go. She went back to her hometown in the countryside and got married. After identifying the owner of Jiayi County, The Marquis of Dingbei rewarded her with a sum of money, and the servant girl followed her husband to Shu to seek relatives, and she was never seen again."

"There is also the adoptive parents of Jiayi County Lord, claiming that she was the young county owner who was picked up at the Bingzhou Wharf. The adoptive parents adopted her when they saw her pitiful. Knowing that the adoptive parents and their family took the reward money from the Hou Mansion, they moved away when they had the money, and their whereabouts could not be traced."

In other words, the whereabouts of the people involved in this matter are unknown.

Wei Chen said: "This matter is somewhat unusual. I also asked someone to check Madam Guo's whereabouts back then, and wanted to get evidence from Madam Guo, but they couldn't find it. And when Madam Guo left Beijing, There are also a few servants with me, and the whereabouts of these servants are all unknown."

Xie Dan sighed indifferently.Among these "servants", he was included, and of course his whereabouts are unknown.

In order to deceive others, they pretended to be Mrs. Ye's servants, including the nanny, maidservant and Xu Qi. Now, only him and Ye Chu are left alive.

After Wei Chen finished his report, he asked a little puzzled: "Your Majesty, can you tell me how you can confirm that Jiayi's county head is fake, so where is the real county head? If we can find the real county head Lord, everything will be solved soon."

Xie Dan did not answer this question.Wei Chen was helpless, the emperor said she was a fake, so she was a fake.

***

After the Lantern Festival, the yamen opened its seal, and the emperor began to court as usual.

This year Xie Dan nestled in the mansion calmly, but the palace and harem were already in turmoil.The emperor, who had always been careless about the harem, suddenly changed his mind. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he summoned the imperial concubine Wei to accompany him. Not only the harem, but many families in the capital hadn't had a safe life for a year.

And from that day on, during the half-month rest period after the year, the emperor summoned Concubine Wei five or six times in a row. How many people's teeth.

The Duke of Wei's mansion attracted attention for a while, and the court speculated whether the emperor intended to make the daughter of the Wei family his queen.Even if she doesn't plan to do so right now, just continue to pamper her like this, and when Concubine Wei successfully gives birth to an imperial heir, the successor will be hers sooner or later.

They are all important officials in the court. No one would think that the cold-blooded and deep-minded king on the dragon chair really just likes the daughter of the Wei family. After a deeper interpretation, is the emperor planning to support the new rich and suppress the old officials of the court and family.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager fell ill just after the New Year's Eve, and the imperial doctor diagnosed a debilitating disease.

It was the first early court in the new year. After leaving the court, Sheng Jia went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace to visit the sick. The emperor also personally passed on the imperial physician, and asked the imperial hospital to give the empress dowager a diagnosis and treatment.

The sick empress dowager pulled the emperor and said something like "rain and dew are all the same". , to guard against the dominance of the Duke of Wei's family and the instability of the court.

The emperor nodded, indicating that he was educated.

As a result, after that day, the emperor never summoned Concubine Wei again, and the harem regained the balance of everyone sitting on the bench together.

The empress dowager is really sick this time, with a headache.

After all, people are getting old, and the body is already old and weak. Head disease and deficiency syndrome, the imperial doctor said that it is necessary to rest for a while.Xie Dan issued an order to dispense with the daily greetings in the harem, thinking that there were too many people making a fuss, and only let the five concubines in the harem take turns to attend to the Empress Dowager.

When it was warm and cold, it was the most difficult to rest. The Empress Dowager stayed in rest until spring, when the flowers bloomed, and finally got better.

In Ye's house, Ye Chu carefully raised her for a whole autumn and winter. When spring came, she took off layers of cotton clothes and put on light shirts. After eating this year's shad, Ye Chu welcomed her 14-year-old baby. birthday.

Xie Dan always felt that since it was exposed that the two were not biological siblings, the younger sister seemed to have become... more clingy, and even added some unreasonable temper.

For example, at this moment, the two were sitting on the waterside pavilion by the pool in the garden, discussing how she would like to spend her birthday this year, but the bear child unexpectedly said: "It's boring, I don't want to celebrate my birthday." He just went to the pool to feed the fish went.

Xie Dan sighed, walked behind her and asked, "What's the matter? Do you think I came back late today?"

"No, you have business. When did I think you came back late? In the eyes of my brother, am I that unreasonable?"

Xie Dan: "..."

Xie Dan wanted to say, you are just a little unreasonable right now.

Thinking in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth, Xie Dan deeply understood a truth, little girls can't be scolded or reasoned, they can only be coaxed.Otherwise, the more you train her, the more disobedient she will become. Not only will she talk back, but she will also cry for you.

Xie Dan took a pinch of fish food from the box in her hand and sprinkled it into the pond. Seeing the koi carp, big and small, swarming over to snatch the food, he leaned over and approached her with his head down, and whispered, "Who dares to say whether we are safe or not?" To be reasonable, our An An is the most obedient. Did someone offend An An today, tell me, and see if I don't beat him up."

"Brother!" Ye Chu was amused by his good temper, turned to look at him, and felt a little embarrassed, and said coquettishly, "Brother, I'm already this old, why are you acting like a child."

Xie Dan: "Birthday take you out to play?"

"Go to Zhuangzi?"

"Don't go to Zhuangzi, you have been to Zhuangzi several times." Xie Dan thought for a while and suggested: "Go to Huguo Temple?"

"What are you going to Huguo Temple for? The temple is not a place to play. I remember living in the temple for more than half a year when I was a child."

"Then where do you want to go? Is there any gift you want?" Xie Dan asked.

Ye Chu didn't know what was wrong with her, she really felt that celebrating her birthday was boring.She doesn't like to go out, or there are many people, especially after her memory is restored, she likes to lie at home so quietly and lazily.

Anyway, their home was big enough and fun enough, so she didn't really expect to go out to play.

As for the presents, of course my brother would carefully prepare them, but the small storeroom was full of all kinds of treasures and jewelry, and there was no special gift she wanted.Even Xie Dan himself probably couldn't come up with anything more fresh and precious.

"Brother, it's hard for you to rest for the holidays. When it's my birthday, you'll make me green onion noodles, and then spend a good day at home with me."

"Okay." Xie Dan patted her on the head, and felt that the little girl was quite obedient, so satisfied.

After Ye Chu fed the fish, he suddenly wanted to fish, so he asked the maid to bring the fishing rod.Thinking that the koi in the pond were boring, the little girl confidently went to the river to catch a big fish for dinner.

That night, she really let her catch a crucian carp, and the kitchen made crucian carp soup and sent it.Now the little girl was greatly encouraged, and went fishing for several days in a row, and she couldn't get tired of it.When Xie Dan came back in the evening, he didn't see anyone. When he asked, he really said that the girl was fishing at the Qingliang Pavilion.

Xie Dan walked to Qingliang Pavilion.It's not hot at this time, and the waterwheel in the pavilion hasn't started yet. Ye Chu sat on a chair in the pavilion, stretched out his fishing rod from the railing, and stared at the water surface with his chin in one hand. She didn't even notice Xie Dan approached.Ye Hui sat next to her on the chair, in a similar posture to her, and also stretched her neck stupidly to stare at the water.

Xie Dan smiled and said to Ye Ling: "But take good care of your girl, she is so small, don't fall into the water and let the big fish eat her."

"Brother, are you back?" Ye Chu turned his head, grimaced and smiled, "You just fell in and got eaten by fish."

As soon as the emperor came, the maids sitting or standing didn't dare to be so comfortable, Ye Hui got up quickly in fright, and after saluting, she followed the maids and exited the pavilion, standing neatly and waiting under the veranda outside the pavilion.

Xie Dan walked over and sat down on Ye Hui's chair, and asked someone to bring him a fishing rod to fish with her.

There was half a bright red sunset in the western sky, and it was still early in the evening. The two sat side by side on chairs, fishing and chatting about daily life in a low voice.

The fish in this river don't know whether they are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, or they are intimidated by the might of the dragon. Xie Dan had just caught a little time, and when he pulled the fishing rod, he brought a big white fish with a cocked mouth that was more than a foot long. Jumping up and down in the water to resist stubbornly.

"Hurry up, it's so big." Seeing Ye Chu, he quickly got up to help, and Xie Dan quickly handed her the net, amidst cheerful laughter, the two rushed to get the fish up.

The fish was flopping on the ground in the pavilion, Ye Chu squatted down to watch, and protested with his small mouth curled up: "This fish is bullying people, I have been fishing for so many days, but I have never caught one that is so big."

She had no choice but to let go of the kitten fish she caught. She hasn't eaten any fish she caught herself in the past few days.

Xie Dan couldn't help teasing her with a smile: "You caught this one, okay? Then tell the kitchen that it was the girl who caught it."

Ye Chu wrinkled his nose and glanced at him, what do you mean she caught it, and said bitterly: "You wait, I will come back tomorrow, I have to catch a big fish."

Xie Dan thought about it, and asked someone to make a nest first, at least let her catch a big fish, otherwise the little girl would be disappointed again.The two put the jumping fish into the bucket and asked the servant girl to take it to the kitchen. The meat of the big white fish was tender, so they made a pan-fried white fish for dinner.

The two put away their poles and walked back with the sunset glow all over the sky.Xie Dan didn't hold her hand at first, so she consciously stretched out her hand to grab one of his fingers, swinging her hand back and forth leisurely, and walked slowly along the path of flowers and stones.The little girl walked and played, sometimes stopping to catch a butterfly, and sometimes picking a jasmine flower.

"It smells so good." Ye Chu put the jasmine flower under his nose and took a deep sniff, and said imaginatively, "The scrambled eggs with this flower are delicious."

There is a little master in the mansion who eats little and is picky, but loves to eat flowers, so the people in the kitchen are thinking about how to make them.Ye Yuanzhi also made a list of flowers for this reason, some flowers are good for her health.

"Why haven't I eaten?" Xie Dan asked.

"You don't eat at home every day, so I'll make dinner for you." Ye Chu pulled him to a stop, and beckoned to two little maids, "Cantaloupe, green pear, help me pick some jasmine flowers and send them to the kitchen for frying." Eggs to eat."

"Yes." Two little girls rushed over, and one of them asked courteously, "Girl, do you want the rose brown sugar roll that I ate last time? I think you like it."

"Yes, bean paste, rock sugar, you two go pick some roses and eat them tomorrow morning."

Xie Dan likes to see her like this, happy and energetic, instead of pale and weak.

During the winter, he worried about her all day long, especially after she recovered her memory, Xie Dan was very worried that it would leave a shadow of fear on her, but with the long-term companionship and peaceful environment, as well as the careful care of several imperial doctors, she is very happy now. good.

Except for becoming more clingy and sensitive, occasionally a little sentimental, and sometimes willful and petty.

But Xie Dan felt that this was not a shortcoming, and he was quite useful.A limp and playful little girl is like a spoiled younger sister.

After giving orders, Ye Chu took Xie Dan and walked slowly a few steps, then turned to look at him: "Brother, I'm tired."

Xie Dan knelt down obediently and carried her on his back, while Ye Chu calmly climbed onto his back.

In this way, the little girl put her two thin arms around his neck, and put her chin on his shoulder mischievously, muttering about some trivial daily life.

As she developed, her voice became softer, her speech was slow and soft, as if mixed with sugar, and the girl's warm and soft breath was in her ears. Not only did the little girl grow in stature, but her figure also began to grow, and she gradually had the appearance of a girl Exquisite curves, with the fragrance and softness of the daughter's home.

Xie Dan is a grown man, he cannot ignore these changes.

He carried her firmly on his back, hesitated for a while and said in a gentle voice: "An An, you have grown into a big girl, in the future..."

He hesitated for a long time in his words, worried that what he said would make her think too much, she was simple-minded and innocent, and she was used to being intimate with him since she was a child.

Xie Dan hesitated and said, "I have to learn to be more dignified in the future."

"What's the matter?" Ye Chu asked puzzledly, "Brother, I know that girls should be reserved and dignified outside. You told me before, but when I'm at home, didn't you say how comfortable I am?"

inaccurate words.

Xie Dan thought for a while, then simply smiled and said: "I mean, when you grow up, sometimes you have to avoid suspicion, understand?"

"Understood." Ye Chuqing's lingling voice whispered in his ear, "There are differences between men and women, I know that. But you are my brother."

"...Elder brother should also avoid taboos." Xie Dan said with difficulty.

"But you didn't say that before. You didn't say this before." Ye Chu asked quietly, "Is it because we are not real brothers and sisters?"

The author says:

Male lead (beating chest): Blame me, there is nothing wrong with my sister being so cute, it's all because I don't know how to teach my sister.
