I heard my brother is a tyrant

Xu Yuanzhi saw the driver late at night. He had heard that the girl was unwell, but he saw the emperor instead.Finally, after Xu Yuanzhi made a list of food taboos and precautions, Xie Dan asked the kitchen staff to make rose brown sugar red date cake and send it to him.

The little girl likes sweet and soft food very much at the moment. The rose brown sugar cake made in the kitchen is actually made of date paste, flour, and milk, with rose sauce and brown sugar added. Serve it while it is hot, and serve it with a cup of hot ginseng tea. It sounds soft and sweet, and the aroma of roses and brown sugar makes people feel happy and comfortable.

In the middle of the night, because the little girl had her menstrual period and passed on to the imperial physician, even though Xie Dan was the emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.But if you don't understand, you have to ask, who made him ignorant of it.

Ye Chu stayed at home with a nest for several days, and several consecutive spring rains passed. By the time her "racecourse appointment" with Han Jingshu finally took place, it was already early April.

Ye Chu's carriage arrived at the south gate as agreed. Ye Yu and Han Jingshu had already arrived first, along with Han Jin'er and Han Ying'er. After the two teams reunited, they left the city and went straight to the south of the city.

The Han family is a family of military generals. This racecourse is the property left by Han Ziyun's grandfather's generation. It is located in the south of the city. In fact, it is not far from the place where Ye Chu and Han Jingshu played in the last Shangsi Festival. There is also Zhuangzi of the Han family nearby.This is probably the reason why Ye Chu was able to meet Han Jingshu by the river in the south of the city during the Shangsi Festival.

As expected of being the daughter of a general who grew up at the border, Han Jingshu can ride a horse at a young age, Han Jin'er and Han Ying'er can also ride a horse, so in comparison, Ye Chu's little Pearl looks very... petite and exquisite.

A dwarf got mixed into a group of tall horses.

Han Jingshu didn't believe that the horse was not big enough, and decided that Ye Chu's horse was a foal.But this little pony made Han Jingshu very envious, because the pony is so beautiful and very obedient, of course it only listens to Ye Chu, and wherever Ye Chu goes, Little Pearl will automatically follow, and immediately run over after shouting, what will Han Jingshu do now? Seeing the big horse he was tugging at, I felt a little disgusted.

It was Ye Chu's first time running a horse on a huge racecourse.She used to only ride in the garden for fun, but Xie Dan had taught her seriously, now that Ye Chu has arrived at the racecourse, riding on Little Pearl, she is already able to ride decently.

Fearing that the girls would not be able to ride horses safely, Ye Yu ordered the racecourse to pick out more docile mares, and at the same time sent horse trainers to follow and protect them. Ye Ling and Ye Hui, each with a tall horse, followed closely Ye Chu's little pearl was guarding behind.

The weather at the beginning of April was already a bit hot, so they came early, and when the sun became hot, Jiao Didi’s little daughter would not be able to ride a horse and get tanned, so she was invited to use it under the awning made of moso bamboo, bamboo strips, and thatch Tea break, cool breeze, watching the galloping horses in the distance, quite a bit of rustic charm.

Han Jingshu had been waiting for this trip to the racecourse for quite a few days. As soon as she sat down, she asked Ye Chu, "Sister Ye, why didn't you come last time? Mother said you were not feeling well. Are you sick?"

"Well, no," Ye Chu couldn't explain it to her in detail, there were other people around, so I was a bit embarrassed to tell others about this matter, so he said vaguely, "It's just that I'm not feeling well, and it's already healed."

As a married woman, Ye Yu had already guessed it, so she smiled and said, "Shu'er, don't make trouble with your sister Ye."

Ye Yu thought about it, the girl's family is young, besides her elder brother, there are only these young maids around her, when she returned to the main courtyard for lunch, she found a chance to ask Ye Chu quietly: "Miss Ye, are you here?" Menstruation?"

Ye Chu nodded in embarrassment.

"Then you should pay more attention. If my little daughter doesn't understand, she will suffer if she catches a cold and hurts her body." Ye Yu pulled her and asked, "Does anyone around you teach you if your stomach hurts? Not being able to eat raw or cold food or soak in cold water for a few days is a lifelong matter, and if you don’t get well, you will suffer, so you have to be careful. Are the servants around you taking care of these things for you?"

"Taught me." Ye Chu nodded and said, "Thank you Madam for your concern, I remember, my brother also told me, and asked the imperial doctor to make meridian warming and nourishing blood ointment, after eating it, the stomach pain will be relieved. "

"...That's good." Ye Yu paused, and asked hesitantly, "Your brother...will you also take care of these things?"

"That's right." Ye Chu said, "My brother is the best, he has to control me for everything."

Ye Yu said with some difficulty: "Miss Ye has no elders by her side, so I'll just say something else. After all, your brother is a man, and when the girl's family grows up, he is a brother and sister. These private matters should also be avoided."

The topic of avoiding suspicion has been discussed by their brothers and sisters a long time ago. Others should avoid suspicion, and my brother is not someone else. My brother took care of her since she was a child.Others don't understand the relationship between their brothers and sisters.

Ye Chu didn't feel that she and her brother were not avoiding suspicion, it seemed normal to her.But this matter couldn't be clearly explained to others, and it seemed that there was nothing to justify, so Ye Chu nodded and said perfunctorily: "Yes, I understand."

If Ye Yu couldn't see the little girl's perfunctory, she would have lived in vain for so many years. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The girl's family is just young, and no one taught her, so she can't be blamed. Don't pay attention, men and women have different seats at seven years old, even brothers and sisters should have a boundary.

They had lunch at the racecourse, and went to see the trainer set up horses. When the sun was in the west, they packed up and prepared to leave for the city.

Ye Chu and the maids brought two carriages, Xuanping Hou Mansion and several masters brought three carriages with the maids and servants, plus two accompanying servants and guards, a team of dozens of people.When Ye Chu, Ye Yu and the others came out of the house, the carriages of each family had already been driven over by the servants, and Ye Chu was surrounded by the maids and walked towards his own carriage.

"Sister Ye, can I take a car with you?" Han Jingshu ran over.

Ye Ling laughed beside her and said, "Does Miss Han also want to take the carriage? I'm afraid our girl will fall asleep when we get in the carriage. No one will play with you. Why don't I take you on a horseback ride? I can also see the scenery along the way."

Han Jingshu agreed decisively when she heard it, but Ye Yu laughed and scolded: "Don't mess around, you've been crazy for a day, honestly take the carriage with me, I'm afraid you will fall asleep once you get in the carriage."

Han Jingshu had no choice but to run back with her mouth pouted, Ye Chu looked at her and waved her hands and smiled, then was supported by Chunjiang and stepped on the carriage.

She lifted the curtain and saw Xie Dan lazily sitting on the wall of the car at a glance, made a silent gesture to her, looked at her and smiled leisurely.

Ye Chu was taken aback for a moment, but when he realized it, he immediately snickered and got in.

"Brother!" Ye Chu got in and rushed straight at him, Xie Dan reached out to catch her, trying to put her to sit beside him, but the little girl clinged to his arms and kept having fun.

The little girl was really pleasantly surprised. She never thought that her brother would be in the carriage. Although she didn't know why her brother secretly waited for her in the carriage, the "secret" atmosphere alone was enough to infect her. It was a very secret and interesting thing.

"Brother, why are you here? Did you come to pick me up? How did you come in? Why didn't anyone tell me? Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" She smiled happily and asked a series of questions in a low voice. question.

"I just arrived. Didn't you agree to go back at Shen Shizhong? I'll pick you up on horseback. I'm a foreigner and it's not convenient for me to meet the female family members of the Han family. I can save a lot of talking, so I'll wait for you in the carriage." Xie Dan said.

This was the first time she went out of the city without his company, it could be regarded as the first time for a little girl to "go far away alone".Although there are many guards and people from Xuanpinghou's mansion, Xie Dan is unavoidably a little worried because of the accident that he was disturbed by the people from Prince Zhong's mansion when he came back from Zhuangzi last time, and she and Ye Yu are together. Wu went to the ground to chat, and the matter might be revealed at any time, so he had better come here sooner.

However, looking at the situation, Ye Yu hadn't come out of the clouds yet.Xie Dan was inexplicably pleased.

"Brother, let me tell you that I can run very fast on horseback today. My little Pearl can run no slower than those big horses. Don't look at her small size, she can run very fast..." The little girl was still a bit mysterious. After all, there was such a big person hidden in the car, as if someone might hear it, she whispered this and that to him, lazily leaning on him.

"Did you have fun?"

"Ah."

"Tired?"

"kind of."

Ye Chu really felt tired when he asked this question, he moved his body and adjusted his posture, and of course he lay down with his lap on his head, looking very happy.

The carriage had already started outside, and several cars came out of the racecourse one by one and turned onto the main road.She whispered to him about the fun things of the day, but she fell asleep after a while.

She was pillowed on Xie Dan's lap, Xie Dan was afraid that she would be jolted so he hugged her, and the little girl fell asleep all the way.

***

Han Ziyun was on duty at the camp in Gyeonggi. The military camp was different from ordinary officials Xiu Mu. It was Xiu Mu's turn to come back after half a month. When he came back, he told Ye Yu a big event.

Han Ziyun said that he entrusted an acquaintance working in the household department to check the records of Ruyi Xiaozhuang. The current owner of Ruyi Xiaozhuang is Ye Zhi.

In order to welcome his husband back, Ye Yu originally asked someone to prepare a table of food and wine, and planned to cook two Northwest-style dishes by himself. Hearing what he said, he threw the kitchen knife in his hand and sat on a chair. He felt a little nervous. Messy.

Ye Zhi, Ye Zhi...

"The matter of Ye Chu is a coincidence enough, and this Ye Zhi, not only his surname is Ye, he is Ye Chu's elder brother, but Ruyi Xiaozhuang is still in his hands," Ye Yu said angrily, "This pile of things If it's all a coincidence, I dare to swallow this piece of mutton raw!"

Han Ziyun said: "The acquaintance I entrusted is my childhood friend. He told me in private that Prince Zhong's Mansion also went to check the files of Ruyi Xiaozhuang, and Prince Zhong's Mansion looked for this person. Prince Zhong's Mansion looked for him, probably because of Ruyi. Xiaozhuang went there. I don’t know if I found it or not.”

"There's no need to look for it, isn't it in Ye's house on Baima Lane." Ye Yu said, "You can send a greeting card tomorrow, and we can meet him."

Han Ziyun smiled bitterly and said, "My lady, I'm afraid you overestimated your husband. This person has a mysterious identity and a high position. We don't even know who he is. I don’t even care about it. And I inquired about the area around Baima Lane, there are almost no residential houses, it’s considered to be the site of the Iron Armored Guards, and several important generals of the Iron Armored Guards live in that alley.”

"You have to try, anyway, you can still use the name of the Marquis Mansion." Ye Yu said, "I'm sure that this pair of brothers and sisters must be related to my elder sister. Ye Chu is young and doesn't know, but her brother must know What. This person hides his head and shows his tail. I am afraid that he is not a good person, or Ruyi Xiaozhuang will fall into his hands! We will go and meet him before we can expose his true face."

"Miss, don't forget, he is Miss Ye's elder brother, so he can't be a bad guy."

"That's hard to say." Ye Yu said, "Miss Ye is Miss Ye, he is him, who knows who he is. He is an older brother, and his only younger sister is raised so ignorant of worldly affairs that she is isolated from the world. Usually, who knows why, at least he didn't fulfill his elder brother's duty."

Han Ziyun also felt that something was wrong, so he bit the bullet the next day and sent someone to Ye Zhai in Baima Lane to deliver Zhang Baitiao.

Xie Dan didn't even read the greeting post when he got it, and threw it aside casually.

Han Ziyun's letter of greeting fell to nothing, and the couple had no choice, so Ye Yu sent someone to send a letter, saying that Han Jingshu had been craving Fanlou's apricot-milk mini-spiced pig these days, and wanted to ask Sister Ye to try it together.

As usual, Ye Chu went to talk to Xie Dan again, Xie Dan said: "Fan Lou is quite famous, the biggest restaurant in the capital, so famous that even I know it."

"Is the little pig with apricot milk delicious?"

"How do I know, I haven't tried it yet." Xie Dan said with a smile, "Go and taste it yourself."

"But Mrs. Han invited me to go to the lake, to play at the racecourse, and to give me gifts. It's only been a few days, and she invited me to a restaurant for dinner. I don't even know what she wants to do."

Xie Dan smiled, although the little girl seldom interacts with others, she is very sensitive.He said: "Don't you like playing with Han Jingshu? What should I do? Do you want to go?"

Ye Chu said: "I want to eat the little fragrant pig with apricot milk. It sounds delicious. Since Mrs. Han has invited me several times, then I will invite her this time."

Xie Dan smiled and said: "I think it's okay, our family An'an has also learned to reciprocate."

"Aren't you going with me?" the little girl muttered, "I'm afraid there will be many strangers."

"Fanlou should have an area dedicated to entertaining female guests." Xie Tan smiled, "You tell Chang Shun to book a pavilion first, so no strangers will disturb you."

As for whether this female guest area is really there or not, Xie Dan doesn't know, if there isn't, there must be one.

Fan Lou can be regarded as a scenic spot in the capital, as the largest restaurant in the capital, it is composed of five connected pavilions, Ye Chu and Ye Yu made an appointment for a dinner party, in the night, Fan Lou had bead curtains embroidered on the forehead and brightly lit candles.

"Miss, Mrs. Han and Miss Han have arrived first, and the slaves have placed them in the pavilion we have set up." Chang Shun bowed in front of the carriage and said.

Ye Chu got out of the carriage, and the servants from the restaurant stood respectfully at the door, while the guards and maids surrounded Ye Chu and went in, separating the idlers.After entering the door, a wide and straight main corridor walked in, and they were welcomed to the small building in the southwest, and entered the private room upstairs, where Ye Yu's mother and daughter were already drinking tea.

Chun Jiang and Chun Bo came in to serve, while Ye Ling, Ye Hui and Chang Shun stood guard outside the door, and they brought a few maidservants outside to watch and deliver the dishes. Door|Give it to the maid.

Ye Yu was already used to the manners of the servants around Ye Chu, he didn't expect her to be so particular about going out for a meal, so he asked Ye Chu and Han Jingshu to order first.

The first dish was of course a small fragrant pig with apricot milk. It is said that Han Jingshu ate it once after returning to Beijing, and she has never forgotten this small fragrant pig with apricot milk.

The apricot milk piglet is served. It is actually a golden roasted piglet. I don’t know how it is roasted. It tastes crispy and not greasy, and it has a strong aroma of fruit trees and almonds.The wine is three-steamed and three-brewed wine from the Western Regions. It is not spicy, but sweet. Ye Chu drank wine at home. Today, without his brother's supervision, he drank two glasses with Han Jingshu alone.

Ye Yu came here with a lot of thoughts in mind, and when the two little girls had finished eating and only her own maid, Chun Jiang, and Chun Bo were serving in the private room, she brought up the topic.

Ye Yu said: "Miss Ye, I have something I want to ask you. It's a matter of my heart. Brother Ling has a Zhuangzi in the east of the city, do you know?"

"I know, Ruyi Xiaozhuang." Ye Chu smiled, "There are many persimmon trees planted in the village, and you can pick persimmons in autumn."

"Then Zhuangzi..." Ye Yu paused, and asked vigorously, "How did you get into your brother's hands, do you know?"

"My brother bought it for me." Ye Chu said, "Madam Han, why are you asking this?"

Ye Yu originally thought that she might not know, after all, she was ignorant of her own affairs, but she didn't expect the little girl to be very clear about Ruyi Xiaozhuang's affairs.

Ye Yu hurriedly said: "To be honest, this Zhuangzi was originally owned by my elder sister, but it was sold off for some reason, so I just paid attention."

"Ms. Han, do you want to buy it too?" Ye Chu frowned slightly in confusion, bringing up the unpleasant old incident of Zhongwang's mansion blocking the car, she thought for a while and asked, "Why does this Zhuangzi have so many old owners? Zhongwang's mansion also said It originally belonged to their family. Mrs. Han, if you want to buy this Zhuangzi, then Ye Chu can only apologize, we don’t sell it, my brother said it was my mother’s thing, after changing hands several times, my brother bought it back again, this is my mother’s leave it to me."

Ye Yu's face changed suddenly, and with a clang, the wine glass in his hand fell on the table.

"Mother, what's the matter with you?" Han Jingshu asked.

"Mrs. Han?" Ye Chuqing's lingling eyes also looked at her with concern.

"You..." Ye Yu's voice was trembling, and he suppressed his excitement and asked, "You... your mother, is your maiden name Ye Zhen? The daughter of Taichang Temple Qing Ye's parents? Then your father..."

"My mother is long gone. I dare not mention my mother's name. It is indeed Ye Zhen. But I really don't know what Ye family Madam is talking about. My father died long ago."

She seemed to have asked these things over and over again. Ye Chu was really helpless towards Mrs. Han in front of her. The little girl drank two glasses of wine from the Western Regions, and the wine had some stamina. She shook her head and felt sleepy. Said: "Mrs. Han, I have told you that I will not sell Zhuangzi, and I will not sell it for any amount of money. The county lord of Zhongwangfu forced to buy my Zhuangzi, and it made my brother very angry."

The words "Lord of Prince Zhong's Mansion" forcibly pulled back Ye Yu's mind, yes, what's the matter with Guo Zijin in Prince Zhong's Mansion?

She collected herself, sorted out her chaotic thoughts in a daze, and asked, "My dear boy, tell me quickly, when is your birthday?"

"My birthday is the Duanyang Festival. I eat zongzi and green onion noodles made by my brother." The little girl shook her head, rubbed her eyes, and called the maid behind her, "Chunjiang, why is this table a little crooked, please help me quickly." Help me."

When Ye Yu heard about Duanyang Festival, he slumped down on the chair, wondering and wondering, tears appeared in his eyes.

Chun Jiang and Chun Bo hurriedly supported Ye Chu, and couldn't help crying, why did the girl get drunk after two glasses of wine, and Han Jingshu, who drank with her, was fine, they didn't take good care of the girl, and the master might be angry later.

Chun Jiang said: "Mrs. Han, our girl is probably a little drunk, the servants and servants will take the girl back first."

"Wait a minute, then your brother..." Ye Yu didn't care about anything else, and hurried over and pulled Ye Chu to ask, "Who is that elder brother of yours? He, is he really your brother?"

"Madam is so strange, brother still has a fake one?"

"Think about it carefully, is it a relative, maybe a righteous brother?"

"That's not it, it's my brother." Ye Chu leaned back on the chair and muttered, "My brother brought me up with his own hands, and he loves me the most. He's so dear."

Han Jingshu ran over, supported Ye Chu in amazement and asked, "Sister, are you drunk?"

"No, I didn't drink. You...don't tell my brother, he's going to tell me..." The little girl seemed to be muttering, but she felt very sleepy. She sat on a chair and leaned against Chunjiang, with her eyes closed. I just want to sleep.

Chun Jiang looked at Ye Yu with a disheveled and absent-minded face, settled Ye Chu and shouted outside the door: "Sister Ling, the girl is a little drunk, you come in to serve, and ask someone to get the carriage ready."

Ye Ling and Ye Hui came in at the sound, and several maidservants hurriedly followed in to serve. Chang Shun at the door immediately asked the guards to clear the way, and drove the carriage downstairs to wait.At this moment, the door of the pavilion was pushed open, and a tall and straight man in a black brocade robe strode in.

All the servants in the room were startled, except for Chun Jiang who was half supporting and half hugging Ye Chu, everyone else knelt on the ground, only Han Jingshu and the maid brought by Ye Yu stood there for no reason.

"An'an," Xie Dan strode over, bent down and patted her face. The little girl's face was hot and flushed, and she was already dozing off with her eyes closed. When she was woken up, she opened her eyes in a daze. He smiled foolishly, and his ignorant whole body climbed into his arms: "Well, brother, I'm sleepy..."

Xie Dan was a little annoyed and funny, straightened her dress, bent down and picked her up.

He seemed to be in no man's land. Ye Yu came back to his senses and stared at him again and again. For a moment, he was suspicious that this person looked familiar. He couldn't believe his eyes at all. He had already strode out with Ye Chu in his arms.

"He...you..." Ye Yu's thoughts were in a mess. Seeing that he had carried Ye Chu away, she got up and wanted to catch up.Ye Ling stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Mrs Han?"

"He..." Ye Yu pointed at Xie Dan's back and asked Ye Ling suspiciously, "He, he is..."

"Mrs. Han, the holy driver is here, so don't make mistakes." Ye Ling bowed and said, "It's getting late, why don't you send the lady back to the mansion first, and the servant can't do other things. If your majesty wants to help the lady Solve the confusion, and I will summon you naturally."
