"Xiao Guozi, where are you going to pick up the meal?" Xiao Erge leaned against the pillar outside the gate.

"Hey, Eunuch Xiao," Xiao Guozi beat Qian'er.

Xiao Erge waved his hand, "We are all slaves, don't be so polite. I recently heard that the meal of the fourth elder brother is always soft. You should walk faster when picking up the meal back and forth, so that you don't get too soaked in your mouth. , when the time comes, the higher-ups will blame you..."

Xiao Guozi was stunned for a moment, then panicked, "Eunuch Xiao, the slaves are trotting back and forth, and the room where elder brother eats is not far from us, so it doesn't take even a stick of incense to go back and forth. Eunuch Xiao, you You have to testify for the slave, the slave..."

"Okay, okay." Xiao Erge waved his hand, "I watch the sweeper in the yard every day, so of course I know that you have neat legs and feet. Besides, I just remind you casually, be more vigilant, and don't be recited by others. I'm a scapegoat, I still don't know."

Xiao Guozi was a little dazed, Xiao Erge shook his head and said, "Hurry up and get the meal, just remember what I said today, don't tell outsiders."

Xiao Guozi nodded, then walked towards the dining room in a daze.

First day of February

Today is the day when the fourth elder brother officially starts class.

It was only recently that Su Wei learned that the elder brothers in Kangxi were studying separately, not in big classes.The legendary upper study room is not a building, but a synonym for the emperor referring to the formal education of elder brothers.

The fourth elder brother got up at Yinshi, and sat in the study with the haha ​​beads after breakfast to preview the first day's lessons.

Although Su Wei wasn't on duty today, Su Wei didn't go back to the house early in the morning to catch up on sleep, but stood at the entrance of the main hall.

At Maoshi, Chai Yu led three officials in mang robes to mend their clothes and entered the gate.

Su Wei followed and saluted, and the three ministers bowed into the study.

At noon, Su Wei woke up from his dream, just in time for Wang Chaoqing to come in with a food box.

Su Wei washed his face, "There is nothing to do ahead."

"No, the fourth brother and the others are still studying, and Zhao Xin has already gone to pick up meals."

Su Wei nodded, sat down at the table, Wang Chaoqing came over and said, "There is news from the Yonghe Palace today, and the concubine De is happy."

Su Wei was taken aback for a moment, not sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Wang Chaoqing continued, "The people in the palace also said that the imperial concubine's pregnancy is unstable and she always asks the imperial physician."

Su Wei pursed his dry lips. According to this situation, the embarrassing status of the fourth elder brother might last for a while.

After dinner, Chai Yu came to look for Su Wei.Early this morning, a young eunuch tore Ulanara Jiahui's clothes while changing them.Chai Yu decided to temporarily transfer Wang Qin to the front yard to take charge of the east wing.

Su Wei didn't say anything, since he brought back the little eunuch, he knew that this day must come.Although he and Liu Yu are the chief eunuchs in the front yard, they still have to take the responsibility of the fourth elder brother's personal eunuch as the most important thing, not to mention that they have no seniority, and to put it bluntly, they are both newcomers.

But even if Wang Qin came to the front yard again, Su Wei was not very worried.At least it would be difficult for Wang Qin to get close to the fourth elder brother, let alone bullying the master like a slave like before.If Wang Qin still had brains, he should know how to restrain himself after arriving at Elder Brother's place.What's more, the conflict between Su Wei and Wang Qin has never been brought to the surface, and the current situation is even more impossible.

In the living room, meals were set up, and the fourth elder brother asked the three chefs to serve them together.

There are three tables for meals, one for the fourth elder brother, one for Haha Beads, and one for the three masters.

Liu Yu, who served the meal, brought a small steamed dumpling to the fourth elder brother, but the fourth elder brother poked it down with a chopstick, and the soup burst out.Fortunately, the dishes are not too hot, otherwise Liu Yu's head would be lost.

When Liu Yu frantically took a cloth towel to wipe the hands of the fourth elder brother, the other two tables all lowered their heads and ate the rice in the bowl, as if they didn't see anything.

At this time, Yinzhen was a little listless. On the first day of class, the strings in his mind were too tense.He is the master and the prince, even if he is young, he cannot lose to anyone.

The fourth prince, whose mind was in a mess, didn't have any thoughts about his rash behavior just now, but just stared out of the window blankly.Until a familiar figure appeared by the window, and when he met his eyes, he smiled honestly.

Yinzhen pouted, lowered his head, picked up the suffocated soup dumpling, and took a big bite.

Shen Shi, the day's class was over, and the three masters were sent away. The fourth elder brother and Haha Zhuzi went out to the riding and shooting range after using some pastries.

According to the rules in the palace, after the one-day literature class, the princes had to take a military physical education class with Wen Da, so that Youzheng could take a formal rest.

There used to be a shooting hall in the palace for the royal family to practice, but it was too far away from the Qiandong Wusuo, so the emperor specially set up an open space in the northeast corner of the palace for the princes of the elder brother to practice riding and shooting.

Su Wei sent the fourth elder brother away, and went to the dining room where the elder brother lived, and it was already dark when he came back.

As soon as he entered the door, Ku Kui, who was on duty in the main hall, rushed over, "Grandpa Su, please go and have a look, the fourth elder brother is angry."

Su Wei was taken aback, and hurried to the main hall. The fourth elder brother sat on the collapsed chair with a gloomy face, and a bowl of lotus seed porridge was scattered all over the floor. Liu Yu knelt on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Su Wei smiled and entered the room, "Slave Su Peisheng greets master."

The fourth elder brother looked at Su Peisheng, pouted his lips, and pointed with his little hand, "Let him go out."

Su Wei quickly responded, turned his head and shook his head at Liu Yu, Liu Yu hurriedly backed out with a bowed body.

The fourth elder brother still had a gloomy face, Su Wei recruited two young eunuchs, and quickly cleaned up the leftovers all over the place.

Seeing that everyone retreated, the fourth elder brother turned around and took a piece of pastry, but it fell to the ground before putting it in his mouth.

Now Su Wei knew what was going on, and the fourth elder brother over there was about to smash the Kang table into the ground, Su Wei quickly stopped him and said, "Oh, my lord, you practiced bow and archery today, and your arm is sore and shaking. It's nothing more than normal. The slave has a way, don't worry, don't get angry."

Yinzhen glanced at Su Peisheng, the pain in his arm, and the anxiety in his heart made his eye circles turn red instantly.He immediately hugged his knees with his hands and buried his head, his disobedient arms still shaking from time to time.

When Su Wei saw it, he quickly turned around and told Ku Kui to fetch bath water.

Kukui has rare strength. He used a big wooden barrel to fill a basin of bath water, and he filled it up in three times.Su Wei sent two pots of hot water in again, and sent everyone out of the house.

"Master, I will serve you to take a bath, my arm is sore, I need a hot compress, it won't be so uncomfortable after soaking in hot water."

Yinzhen raised his head, his eyes were red, but he still stood up, Ren Su Peisheng took off his clothes, and carried him into the bathtub.Needless to say, after soaking in hot water, the arms immediately felt much more comfortable.

While serving Yinzhen to take a bath, Su Wei wet a towel with hot water and wrapped it around the arm of the fourth elder brother, "When the servant first entered the palace, he was assigned to carry water for the big tank of Kunning Palace. When I returned to the residence at night, I couldn’t even bend my arms. At that time, the slaves had nowhere to find hot water, so they had to hold on. When they ate, they would hold the steamed buns with both hands, so they would not suffer much.”

Yinzhen looked at him, and Su Wei continued, "Later, the slave was lucky, and met Gu Gonggong, the head of the respect room. Gu Gonggong said that the slave was too young to do this kind of work, so he transferred the slave to Yinghua Palace .”

Yinzhen lowered his head, his arms were no longer sore as before, "Today, Wenda taught us archery, and I saw that my elder brother can shoot so far, and the bow he holds is much bigger than mine."

"Master, you are still young, when you reach the age of the big brother, you will naturally be able to hold a heavy bow and shoot long targets." Su Wei said.

Yinzhen nodded, "I know, but I want to learn it quickly. Namutu can draw the bow fifty times. I am his master, and my arm hurts when I draw it thirty times. Come back today and give it to me by Liu Yu." Serve the porridge, but when I picked up the spoon, my hands kept shaking, I thought, I thought..."

"Master," Su Wei interrupted the fourth elder brother, "Namutu is your slave. He practiced well to protect you in the future. You can't compare everything with Namutu, just like you can't compare with a slave. It's as stable as it is on the plate. Besides, Namutu is several years older than you."

Yinzhen poked his own red arm, thinking of Su Peisheng's analogy, and burst out laughing.

Seeing the fourth elder brother smile, Su Wei felt a lot better, "Master, the water is getting cold, let's come out."

After waiting for the fourth elder brother to go to bed, Su Wei served another bowl of small wontons, and fed the fourth elder brother spoonful by spoonful.

"Master, you should go to sleep. This servant is going to ask someone to fetch some safflower oil, and I will press it for you in a while, and it will be almost ready in the morning. In addition, it is probably the same situation at the Haha Zhuzhu. Otherwise, tomorrow morning one by one won’t even be able to pick up their pens.”

Yinzhen nodded, with a smile on his lips, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Su Wei temporarily asked Ku Kui to look at the fourth elder brother, and then sent the little eunuch to fetch the medicine from the warehouse. When he arrived at the door of the east wing, the room was indeed full of groans.

Wang Qin saw Su Wei and walked out of the house.

Su Wei bowed, "Master,"

Wang Qin sideways avoided, and said with a smile, "Grandpa Su, you are too polite. We don't have any relationship between master and apprentice, so don't talk about these empty etiquettes now. You come here at this time, but do you have any orders from the fourth elder brother?"

Su Wei straightened up and said, "Master's arm hurts from practicing riding and shooting today. I heard that Namutu draws more bows than master today, so I came here to take a look."

When Su Wei mentioned Namutu, he suppressed his smile, and a smart person like Wang Qin naturally knew what to do.

The next day, Su Wei waited on the fourth elder brother in class.

Namutu dropped his pen several times in class, and finally had to plead guilty to the fourth elder brother and the master.

The fourth elder brother secretly asked Namutu, did the eunuchs give them hot compresses, and Namutu said with a wry smile, "The slave was too aggressive yesterday, and he did it with hot compresses and medicine for half a night last night, but today it still hurts badly. "

The fourth elder brother comforted him, and it will be fine in the future.

During lunch, Ulanara Jiahui couldn't hold the chopsticks and almost cried.

It was the fourth elder brother who coaxed him for a while, and then called the eunuchs of Haha Zhuzi to feed them one by one.

Seeing this situation, the masters changed the physical health class in the afternoon, so that the children should do what they can no matter what they study.

At night, Brother Si's arms were still sore, but he was in a good mood.

While Su Wei was giving him hot compresses, the fourth elder brother kept learning from him about riding the shooting range today.

Namutu only drew his bow [-] times today, and Song Gan almost fell off when he got on his horse. Jiahui ran to the third elder brother and was almost shot by an arrow. When he came back, he was taught a lesson.

Su Wei listened with a smile. Sure enough, they are not ordinary children.
