I heard my brother is a tyrant

Chapter 5 Green Japonica Rice

Ye Ling's movement of the quilt was stagnant, and he thought to himself that you are not dreaming.But since His Majesty ordered it, she certainly didn't dare to say it.

"Is that so, we are now in the capital, we will go to Beijing when you feel better, and you will be able to see your brother soon."

Ye Ling skillfully changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to eat now? You haven't eaten for a day or two, and your stomach should be hungry. Think about it, is there anything you want to eat?"

Ye Chu: ...I don't want to eat it.

Ye Ling saw her guilty expression and knew that the little eyes were really pitiful.The little girl was not acclimatized, and her stomach was uncomfortable, and she had no appetite at all.

Ye Ling sighed and said: "Physician Xu said, you are not only suffering from motion sickness, you are not acclimatized, you will be fine after a few days to get used to it. Stomach, I need to drink medicine later."

Ye Chu: ...you have to drink bitter medicine again.

Pretending not to see her sad expression, Ye Ling coaxed her heart hard: "You can't eat it, just eat a few bites, and eat something light. I made rice porridge for you, and soft and tender tofu soup , the local people here say that if you are not acclimatized to the soil and water, you can eat some water tofu, which will make your stomach feel better.”

Ye Chu looked at the sky outside the window, probably because of her the trip was delayed, and he had to eat if he didn't want to.In the end, I ate two mouthfuls of tofu soup, but I ate a few more mouthfuls of Bijaponica rice porridge. This kind of rice has slender grains and a slight green color. The cooked porridge is green in color and full of rice fragrance.

"Big sister, this rice smells so good." Ye Chu put down his spoon and smiled.

Ye Lingxin said that of course, this is tribute rice, it is no loss that the palace sent someone to deliver it early in the morning.At the same time, they also sent a lot of light and nourishing ingredients and medicinal materials. Calculating the time, I am afraid that they were ready last night. When the city gate opened at dawn, they sent people out of the city to deliver them.

Ye Ling packed up the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to the maid outside, after a while He Shi and Ye Hui came in together.Ye Chu saw the medicine bowl in Ye Hui's hand, and immediately wanted to shrink her neck, but she just took the medicine bowl, pinching her nose and swallowing.Ye Hui hurriedly stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth.

"What time is it?" Ye Chu put down the bowl and asked.

"It's time." Mrs. He replied, and then explained, "Don't worry, your brother was very worried when he knew you were sick, so he told us not to hurry and let you stay here for two days."

Ye Chu nodded, he was too tired to move, and then Xu Yuanzhi came in to check his pulse.After Xu Yuanzhi left, Mrs. He said that Chang Shun was waiting outside, worried about her condition, and wanted to come in to say hello to Ye Chu.

"No, tell him to go." Ye Chu shook his head.

She doesn't like strangers, in her eyes, Chang Shun is a big man, even her brother's servant is not familiar with him, so can you stop disturbing her.Especially this is the bedroom. She is a girl who is recovering from illness.He understands the little girl's mentality, but it's hard to tell her that Chang Shun is a father-in-law, not a man.

Besides, even if you tell her straightforwardly, with Ye Chu's cognitive experience, I'm afraid I don't know what "father-in-law" really stands for, why is he not a man.And you haven't been able to explain it to her in detail.

It can only make Chang Shun feel uneasy.

In the front room, Marquis Xuan Ping took the medicine prescribed by Xu Yuanzhi, and he has improved, but he is getting old, so the so-called sickness disappears like a thread, and I am afraid that he still needs to take good care of it for a few days.

He was called to Beijing but fell ill at the gate of the capital. Seeing that it would be a day or two to go to Beijing to meet the saint, Xuan Pinghou couldn't help but feel anxious.

So Xu Yuanzhi just came out from Ye Chu's side, and was invited by Han Ziyun again.After Xu Yuanzhi gave Xuan Pinghou pulse and acupuncture, he told Han Ziyun that he would stay in the post house for the next two days to recuperate. Hou should be able to get up.

"That's great! I don't want to thank you for your kindness. I was fortunate to meet Dr. Xu this time. The schedule was rushed. I will definitely repay you in Japan and South Korea." Han Ziyun bowed deeply.

"Mr. Han, you don't have to be polite, it's a little effort."

Han Ziyun sent Xu Yuanzhi away, watching him walk through the front yard of the post station and go straight to the back.Han Ziyun returned to the room and said to Xuan Pinghou: "Father, I always feel that there is something unusual in this post house."

"You mean a group of horses came here in the middle of the night last night?" Xuan Pinghou said, "Less than an hour left. A dozen horses, it doesn't seem like an urgent report at the border. This place is close to the capital, and the government orders are frequent, maybe It’s just passing by on urgent matters.”

"It's not like. My son has been watching you since he didn't sleep. He has been paying attention. The team came from the direction of the capital, and then returned the same way. And this morning, two more fast horses came from the direction of the capital. After staying for a while, they returned the same way. Just looking at their horses, they are not like ordinary people." Han Ziyun said.

Xuan Pinghou thought for a moment, then shook his head to express his puzzlement.

Han Ziyun said: "I hope it's not for you. My son judges that it doesn't seem like it's for our father and son, or maybe some important person lives in the back of the post house, and his status is unusual."

"Did you find out?"

"No." Han Ziyun shook his head and said, "I just went to invite Dr. Xu, and found that the guards in the backyard were loose on the outside and tight on the inside. On the surface, it seemed that there were only a few guards guarding them, but no one could get close. I noticed last night that there were also guards in secret. There are quite a lot of people, how many people are there, and what skills they have, I can't be sure with my eyesight. Yicheng said that the person who lived in yesterday was a family member of Mr. Ye in the middle of the capital. This posture..." Han Ziyun shook his head, "It doesn't look like any other The family members of the family. We haven't been in the capital for a long time, but we haven't heard of any important officials and upstarts in the court whose surname is Ye."

Xuan Pinghou thought over and over again, it seemed that he had never heard of the name of Lord Ye.

"Since this is the case, don't inquire about it. You must be cautious when you come out and go in, and don't make too many incidents."

Xuan Pinghou sighed again after finishing his instructions, "Three of you brothers, you are the one who has a sharper mind and a more stable temper. If your elder brother has your thoughts, he will not get involved with the second prince, and then rush to the new emperor. Showing loyalty, greedy for merit, and burying myself and [-] soldiers alive, but let Beiting take the lead, and put our Xuanpinghou Mansion into such an embarrassing situation."

"The new emperor is strong, so Beifan should not dare to make trouble at this time. Besides, although the eldest brother has something to do with the second prince, he has never really done anything. The new emperor may not know about it." Han Ziyun said.

Xuan Pinghou said: "Now the paper to plead guilty for the father has also been submitted, but there has been no response. The emperor's heart is unpredictable, thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, and the heart of the father is really uncertain. Now that the new emperor has only been on the throne for half a year, he has already passed away. He has completely controlled the government and is gathering military power step by step. Once the emperor and the courtiers, the Xuanpinghou Mansion holds most of the military power in the northern border..."

"I have been at the border for a long time for my father, and there are not many friendships in Beijing. If you are convicted of your elder brother's affairs this time, I am afraid that there will not even be anyone who can speak for us." Xuan Pinghou sighed deeply, "If Before entering Beijing, why don't you go walk around the Prince Zhong's mansion?"

Han Ziyun smiled wryly and said, "Let's forget it. Father, although you and King Zhong are both generals, they have always competed with each other and disagreed with each other in politics. Although King Zhong is nominally a brother-in-law with me, my wife and sister have been dead for so many years. , Because of my sister's death, my wife and her natal family and King Zhong have almost torn faces and cut off contact, and now we are approached, and Prince Zhong's Mansion may not give us a helping hand, but it will be a joke."

Thinking of how his wife hated Wang Zhong, his ex-brother-in-law, and gritted her teeth, Han Ziyun couldn't help sighing in his heart, smiled wryly again and shook his head.The affairs of the inner quarters are not well known to outsiders. His wife believed that the King Zhong had lost to her sister, and she has been brooding about it for more than ten years.

In the afternoon of the same day, after Han Yuan Hall gave a banquet to entertain the envoys from Southern Xinjiang, Xie Dan returned to Zichen Hall, and he was relieved when he heard that Ye Chu had dinner in the morning.

Chen Lianjiang followed behind him in a small way, and said with a smile: "It is said that the girl likes the green rice, and she used half a bowl, and she even praised it. Oh, as long as she is willing to eat, the girl will be fine soon."

Xie Dan thought about it for a while, it seems that this green rice is also good for making rice.He has never paid much attention to food, even the best tribute rice is just something to fill his stomach in his eyes, and it is only because Ye Chu is here that he asks people to collect these things.

Green Japonica rice is well-known, and princes and nobles flaunt their dignity by eating a bowl of Green Japonica rice. However, the most authentic Bi-japonica rice is only produced in a small field in Hutian County, Yudi. It is dare to call it Bi-japonica rice across a ditch, but it is not. That's the smell. If you can get so many buckets every year, you can only pay for the imperial use.

Of course, the emperor could use it to reward his subjects, but since Xie Dan came to the throne, he has been busy all day long, so he didn't care much about these food and clothing, so he seldom paid attention to them.

"Understood." Xie Dan said calmly, "How much rice is left this year, I will keep it for the girl."

"Oh, okay. Except for those sent to the Empress Dowager's Palace, His Majesty has never rewarded anyone, and the servants are all kept."

Xie Dan walked into the side hall all the way, stopped after thinking for a while and said: "In the future, you will help the girl to arrange these food and clothing items. When the girl recognizes you in the future, she will have to praise you."

"Hey, I'll remember it, servant girl." Chen Lianjiang responded happily, thinking that he had figured out the holy will correctly this time.

Ye Chu spent two days in Liuhuayi, and when he was able to eat some porridge and food, the group set off again.

Chang Shun took the lead because of the carriage, so he has worked hard in the past two days.He originally wanted to use a sedan chair, but this sedan chair would also be bumpy, and the two of them suddenly flapped their sedan chairs, only one of them was jolting so badly.

Of course, the more people carry the sedan chair, the more stable the sedan chair is, and the eight-carried sedan chair is more comfortable than the four-carried sedan chair. Only officials of the third rank and above can use it when they go out of Beijing. In the capital, except for the princes and ministers, all the third rank officials are only eligible to sit on the four lifts.

Chang Shun is not afraid of overstepping the rules, but His Majesty has not yet clarified the girl's identity, and they have been relatively low-key along the way. The attention is not so good.

So Chang Shun thought of a trick.He asked people to remove the upper compartment cover of the carriage, leaving only the flat plate, which was covered with leather between the plates, and then fixed in two layers. On the top, there was a felt pad, and a soft sedan chair with eight lifts was placed on it, which was fixed to the uprights with cloth. .

When Ye Chu came out, he saw a sedan chair on the carriage, with a green cloth curtain and apricot-yellow hanging tassels, which looked pretty.

"It shouldn't be bumpy. I went in and tried it, and it's quite comfortable." Ye Hui told Ye Chu with a smile.

The cushions in the sedan chair were thick, and the space was big enough for two people, so Ye Chu pulled Ye Hui, and the two sat in with great interest.The carriage started, and then deliberately walked slowly, it was indeed stable and not bumpy.

Chang Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and waved his hand to order the convoy to set off.

In the guest room at the front, Han Ziyun heard that Xu Yuanzhi was leaving, so he hurriedly came out to thank him and see him off. Just after he came out of the room, he saw a very special "car" parked at the entrance of the backyard from a distance, and the girl in pink and green was taken away by someone. They came out surrounded by weak willows supporting the wind, with a light temperament, and stepped on the carriage with their heads lowered.

When I looked carefully again, the car curtain was down, and I couldn't see it anymore.

Han Ziyun lowered his eyes, and in a moment of surprise, the girl's profile was somewhat familiar.
