Stories of Piercing (106)

As the weather cooled, the atmosphere in the capital slowly cooled down.

Today, Lin Yutong took Mo Yaqi, Hongshi and Hongzhao to dig lotus roots in the lotus pond in their homeland.

Mo Yaqi looked at the dirty mud brought out of the lotus root, and said with disgust: "People say that digging out the radish brings out the mud, this lotus root is white and fat, and the black mud brought out is not as clean as the mud on the radish." "People are holding a boat to pick lotus flowers, and the painting style of Yan Eniang is more strange, and I think of digging lotus roots to eat.

It's really ...... She shook her head. Although I have also seen Ama and his younger brother touch the loaches, the impact of digging lotus roots is still quite large.

"You, Amma, have been having a bit of a fever lately. Taking medicine is a big fuss, this raw lotus root is better than medicine. I just added lotus root slices to make soup with starch syrup, and I ate one before going to bed at night to ensure that I don't cough. Lin Yutong sat on the pavilion on the side, watching the people below digging lotus roots.

This autumn wind is together, the autumn rain is a little bit, and this day is cool. These children are accustomed to coughing at this time.

Mo Yaqi then understood.

I don't know how many years no one has dug up the lotus root in this lotus pond. Which master would think of eating it?

As the two were talking, they heard Hongzhao scream, and Lin Yutong quickly stood up and looked over.

It turned out to be a big lotus root dug up.

Hongshi shouted: "Don't move, take it carefully." Don't break anything. ”

Lin Yutong asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Hongshi pointed to the lotus, "Yan Eniang, look, what kind of character does the shape of that lotus root look like?"

Lin Yutong raised his eyes to look at the lotus root that was being carried by several eunuchs. This lotus root is big, but it is definitely not liked by the chef, because it looks crooked and twisted, and it is not straight at all. When you cut it, it's not easy to shape.

But when Hiroshi asked, there must be something different.

When she looked closely, she realized that she didn't know how many lotus roots grew together, forming a character 'longevity' written in a continuous pen.

The more I look at it, the more it looks like it.

Nature is magical, and sometimes it's just that.

After Hongyun got out of class, he also ran to see the excitement, and when he saw this situation from afar, he immediately rushed over, "Be careful." Then he whispered to Lin Yutong: "Yan Erniang, you should call Ama to take a look." This garden was rewarded by the emperor, and it used to be the emperor's garden. ”

The implication is that now the emperor's garden has been dug up by his children and grandchildren, which is a good sign.

Lin Yutong was just surprised just now, and didn't think about anything else at all, but now he was reminded by Hongyun that he suddenly realized.

It turns out that political sensitivity really depends on talent.

Lin Yutong thought so, so he nodded, and hurriedly called someone to call the fourth master.

The fourth master came quickly, and his feet rolled over like the wind, thinking that he had heard the news.

His serious face made Lin Yutong a little embarrassed.

She stepped forward to bless her body, and the fourth master pulled her up, "You are really a lucky star." No one in this garden has ever thought of digging lotus roots, and you suddenly become interested. You don't point to such a big pond, but you point to it. As a result, I dug up such a thing in one go, isn't it a lucky star?"

The corners of Lin Yutong's mouth moved. I want to dig lotus roots, it's because I'm really idle. Point to this place because it is the closest to the pavilion, and the lotus flowers grow the most luxuriantly. I thought that the lotus root below should grow well before digging it.

But the fourth master had to blame for some blessing, and Lin Yutong could only swallow these words.

Sometimes, he thinks that the fourth master is persistent and serious and cute.

The lotus root was placed on the stone table in the pavilion, and the fourth master rolled up his sleeves and instructed Su Peisheng, "Fetch water." "It's to be cleaned personally. See if there are any bad scars on it.

Su Peisheng went immediately. Because this is to be given to the emperor first, probably this slave will personally fetch water and bring water.

Although Lin Yutong felt that this was really ridiculous, it was not good to splash the cold water of the fourth master. After all, as a son, he is looking forward to the emperor's health, which is sincere.

She could think that he was superstitious in doing this, but she couldn't ignore the blessings and expectations of a son to his father behind this practice.

So she rolled up her sleeves and instructed the people below, "Bring two new brushes." "The joints of this lotus root are not easy to clean. You can't scratch it, so you can only use the fine and soft thing of the brush as a brush.

The fourth master raised his head and smiled softly at Lin Yutong. As if I was very grateful for her company.

It took the two of them half a day to clean up the lotus root. It's really a fluke, it's really smooth as jade, and there are no scratches at all.

"Take a big tray and take care of it. The fourth master instructed Su Peisheng.

Only then did he pull Lin Yutong back, "After changing your clothes, you will go to see the emperor." ”

Lin Yutong wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.

The fourth master smiled, he held Lin Yutong's hand, "I know that you think it's stupid for you to pin your hopes on these illusory things." Actually, I don't believe in these things in my heart. But what if it's a good omen, a miracle?"

Lin Yutong called the fourth master and said that his nose was sour, "We are all looking forward to it, and there will naturally be miracles." ”

The fourth master smiled and said, "Everything is determined by heaven." As long as you have a good heart, no matter what happens in the future, you will not be afraid. ”

It was drizzling in the sky, and Lin Yutong watched the fourth master leave, and then turned back.

Hongxuan is still a milk doll who doesn't know anything. In addition to sleeping and eating, he once woke himself up because he had a fart himself, and then cried wildly.

I don't know what it's like to be sad at all.

In the evening, Lin Yutong stewed pork rib soup with lotus root, and ate pork rib soup and noodles with a few children.

After sending a few children, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the fourth master did not come back.

But he said that the fourth master took the lotus root into the palace, and the emperor was very happy when he saw it.

"That is, you, how did you think of digging the lotus root in the pond?" the emperor looked at this lotus root, and it was indeed round, "Okay, it's a good sign." In the evening, the imperial dining room was called and the princes were rewarded. It's good if you don't have any illness or disaster. ”

said, just look at the fourth master, "The fourth brother will stay and accompany me to use it." ”

The fourth master responded with a smile. Honghui on the side also said to Li Dequan, "Make a sweet and sour lotus root alone, and it should be mixed cold." ”

Because it is not the season to eat lotus root, Honghui has not eaten it for a long time. He especially wanted to eat sweet and sour lotus root.

The fourth master glared at him several times. The emperor didn't care much, and said with a smile: "This is a greedy monkey." I don't know where I came up with such strange food one day. ”

That is, Huang Ama is used to him, and at home, he doesn't dare to do this. The fourth master helped the emperor to sit down, and said with a smile.

The emperor pointed to his side and asked the fourth master to sit, "You are just harsh on yourself and others." Tired and panicked. ”

The fourth master didn't dare to answer.

Honghui brought tea, as if he didn't know what the emperor said to the fourth master, and answered: "Last time I went back, I saw Eniang incubating duck eggs on the warm kang for Hongzhao. I don't know if it's out?"

The fourth master saw that the emperor was interested, so he transferred the topic. "Huang Ama, my son is still trying to tell you about this. He straightened up and continued: "First of all, Hongzhao saw that wild ducks came to the garden, and he wanted to catch them and raise them. You know, these wild things are not easy to raise. Many of them don't eat what people can feed them. As a result, after a few days of raising, he tossed to death. The kid cried and grabbed the ground, and his mother felt sorry for him, so she said that this wild duck had to be raised like this since he was a child in order to be mature. In this way, the mother and daughter picked up wild duck eggs in the grass nest by the lake. Then the eggs were picked. Originally, I found a duck holding a nest to incubate the eggs, but who knew that Hongzhao, a bear child, had to be stuffed into the bed and hatched by himself. I don't listen to any reasoning, I have to try. He couldn't help it, and on a hot day, he asked someone to burn the kang in the warm pavilion. Ask someone to touch the body temperature of the duck holding the nest while touching the temperature on the kang. In a month, seven ducks came out of ten eggs. The son didn't care about it, but it was Fujin coaxing the child to play. This duck, my son felt that this might still be promoted. ”

The emperor just listened at first. Listening to the fourth child, a person with a serious and serious face, talk about the topic of duck egg hatching, it is particularly joyful. I thought this was what the fourth child said to make himself laugh, but I didn't expect it to hatch.

Chickens and ducks can forage for food on their own, and it is not too much of a burden for people to raise a few more. But the chickens and ducks hatch in the nest are limited after all, and if they can be promoted, the benefits are still not small. Don't underestimate a few chickens and ducks. Raising a few more means that ordinary people have eggs to eat on weekdays and meat to eat during the New Year. That's a step forward.

The emperor pondered for a long time and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

The son thought and asked someone to try it on the Zhuangzi first. Once the experiment is complete, it will be rolled out step by step. If it's really beneficial, there's no need to force it, I'm afraid that every family will want to learn it. The fourth master said in such a general way, and then said: "How to operate specifically, my son has asked Fujin to write it out in detail." Anyone can use it. ”

In other words, the credit doesn't have to be your own. The emperor can also look at the arrangement.

The father and son said quite well on this topic. It wasn't until late that the fourth master came back in the wind and rain.

In the end, the emperor didn't say who he would give this errand to.

The fourth master didn't ask, he just thought that he would transcribe what Lin Yutong wrote tomorrow and then submit it.

Unlike the fourth master who pretended to have this in his heart, in the princes' mansions, these imperial brothers were fascinated by the bowl of lotus root soup that the emperor had rewarded.

What does the emperor want to hint at these sons?

Do you want them to know brotherly love? I want to tell them that the brothers are like this lotus root, even if it is broken, the silk is still connected.

Is this trying to imply that even if their relationship is stiff, they are still connected by blood?

Belch...... I have to say, you're all thinking too much.
