At the end of May, the weather was already a little hot. The triplets practiced boxing under the sun, and they were sweating profusely for half an hour. But the master didn't stop, and no one dared to stop.

After another half an hour, Master Dou saw that Brother Xuan couldn't support it anymore, so he said, "Rest for a quarter of an hour." "After a quarter of an hour, continue.

The triplets took the towel handed by their attendant and wiped the beads of sweat off their heads. Brother Xuan said while drinking water: "It's too sunny, let's tell my mother later, let's change these items to practice boxing indoors!" "Events like archery and horseback riding have to be outside, that's no way, but you can still practice boxing, dancing, knives and guns indoors.

Brother Rui said: "It's sun, it's sun, we're not girls, and we're afraid of the dark." "He doesn't like to be indoors, it's not a lot of fun to be indoors.

Brother You also wanted to go indoors, and didn't want to practice outside in the sun: "Second brother, it's too hot this day, I'm worried that if I continue like this, I'll get heat stroke." ”

One against two, Brother Rui was defeated.

During the second break, the attendant brought three plates of cherries. Brother Xuan was a little surprised: "Cherry? Are there cherries now? "Remember the cherries are only available in June!

Arlo said with a smile: "This is an early-maturing variety. "As soon as these cherries were delivered to the palace, Liu Er got the news and asked them to be sent to the front yard and the triplets. This thing is rare, and the palace has two baskets, and Liu Er has to divide these into several portions and send them to each family.

At the end of Shen Shi, the triplets went back to the yard to take a bath after practicing. After changing their clothes, the three of them went to the main courtyard.

Seeing that Zao Zao and Liu Er were there, Brother Xuan asked with a smile, "Second sister, are there still cherries?" "Brother Xuan likes sweet and sour things, and Brother Rui doesn't know how many times he has complained about his liking.

Liu Er smiled and nodded: "There are three more plates." "It's not that Liu Er is generous, but these cherries have taken some time on the road, and if they are put down, they will be broken.

Zao Zao said with a smile: "If you like it, let the people below send more over." ”

Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "I still don't want it." "How expensive this cherry is, Brother Xuan knows. Just because he likes to let the people below send it all the time, it's too expensive.

Seeing this, Liu Er said: "In addition to cherries, there are also strawberries, watermelons, plums, and so on. These things are not rare, if you like it, tell me, and I'll let the people below deliver it. "Summer is the season when there are the most fruits, unlike winter, where you can't eat as much as you want.

"The lychees are also ripe this season, so let the people below send a few baskets of lychees to eat." The year before last in Guangxi, I ate a lot of lychees for jujubes. However, when the lychee was on fire, Yin Zhaofeng only gave her one bowl at a time, and he didn't eat any more.

Liu Er shook her head and said, "It's too far, it's not new to send it here." "From Fujian to Hocheng, unless you send it quickly, it won't taste good when you send it to Hocheng.

"Just let them go faster."

Brother You disagreed, and said, "Eldest sister, my mother will definitely scold you if she hears this." ”

Zao Zao was puzzled and asked, "It's just that I asked the people below to send lychees to eat, why did my mother scold me?" ”

Brother You shook his head and read Du Mu's "Passing the Huaqing Palace": "Chang'an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and thousands of doors on the top of the mountain are opened. Riding the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee to ......"

"What do you mean?"

Brother Rui said happily: "Sister, you refuse to let you read more books, are you blind now?" "Of the six sisters and brothers, only Zao Zao's reading is worse than him. And Brother Rui did not feel inferior under the multiple blows, because every time he was frustrated, he thought that Zao Zao was inferior to him, and his heart was balanced.

Brother Xuan is a good boy, and immediately explained to Zao Zao: "The meaning of this poem is that Tang Xuanzong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not hesitate to open up the Lychee Road in order to win a smile, and then sent lychees from Fujian to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles. In this way, the lychees delivered to the capital are very fresh. ”

Zao Zao was stunned: "Eight hundred miles is urgent to send lychees?" Is this crazy? "This is only used to convey information in emergencies such as wars or ground movements.

Brother You smiled and said, "I'm not crazy. The Tang Dynasty turned from its heyday to its weakness. ”

At this time, Yuxi entered the door with Yunqing. Yuxi smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?" Have such a good chat? ”

Zao Zao grabbed in front of everyone and hurriedly said: "Mother, I want to eat lychees." "She just wanted to eat lychees, so she gave Tang Xuanzong's concubine, if she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost gotten in.

Before Yuxi could speak, Yun Qing said, "Tell Han Ji about this, let him go and buy two baskets of lychees and come back." "Why do you have to tell them such a trivial matter?

Yuxi added: "Two baskets are too much, it's almost the same to buy ten catties and eight catties." This stuff eats too much and gets angry. "There are lychees sold in the city, but they are very expensive. But if you want to eat jujubes, it's expensive!

Brother You asked evilly: "Mother, how much does the lychee outside cost a catty?" ”

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "At this time last year, lychees seemed to be ten taels of silver a catty, but I don't know this year." But I think the price should be about the same. ”

"Ten taels of silver a pound? Why didn't they rob it? When I was in Guangxi, the lychee was only four dollars a pound. "Although it is far away from Lingnan, it is not so outrageous.

The triplets said in unison: "So cheap? "Lingnan four pennies cost ten taels of silver here, which is incredible.

Yuxi felt that everyone was making a fuss: "Lingnan is too far away from here, and a lot of ice cubes must be used to keep it fresh, and that's it, there are many broken ones." "If the cost is too high, the selling price will naturally be high.

Zao Zao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then I still won't eat it." "It's so expensive, she can't bear it.

Liu Er and the triplets also feel so luxurious.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Our family is not nervous to this point, it is still okay to buy ten catties and come back to try it." "It's better to be careful than to spend a lot of money.

After dinner, Brother You stayed and asked, "Mother, I said a few days ago that my eldest brother is coming back soon, why haven't I returned yet, mother, when will my eldest brother come back?" ”

Yunqing said with a smile: "If there is no delay, you should be able to get home in two or three days!" "There's a lot of uncertainty on the road and it's normal to have a day or two at night.

Brother You said: "Mother, you promised me that when my eldest brother comes back, you will let me go to Jiangnan." "There are delicious and fun things in Jiangnan, and he still yearns for it.

Yuxi smiled: "Mother counts when she speaks." But are you sure you go to Gangnam at this time? "Traveling on such a hot day is unbearable for ordinary people.

Brother You'er nodded heavily and said, "Naturally." By the way, mother, if the second brother and the third brother knew, they would definitely go. "This is to give Brother Rui and Brother You a chance.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll talk about this when your eldest brother comes back." If the two of them insisted on going to Jiangnan, she would not stop them. The triplets are all ten years old, and it's time for them to go out for a walk and see the outside world.

Two days later, in the afternoon, Qihao returned.

When the triplets got the news, they took leave with Master Dou, and then hurriedly went to Qihao's yard. Seeing Brother Hua in the house, he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, where is my eldest brother?" ”

Hua Ge'er said with a smile: "The prince just went to the clean room to take a bath, second young master, you wait a minute." ”

Brother You said: "Second brother, third brother, since the eldest brother is taking a bath, let's go and change our clothes first!" "Whoever bathes takes at least a quarter of an hour. That's long enough time for them to get their showers and clothes.

After Qi Hao finished bathing, he dragged his wet hair and asked Brother Hua'er: "Did my father and mother send someone over?" ”

Hua Ge'er shook his head: "No." The second young master and they came just now, and the other big county lord and the second county lord sent people over. ”

Qi Hao immediately made a bitter face.

Hua Ge'er knew Qi Hao's concerns: "You tell your aunt the truth, I believe my aunt can understand." ”

"Back then, my grandfather used my eldest sister as bait to lure out Yucheng's fine work, and my mother knew that she would be furious in the future, and she didn't wait to see her grandfather for a long time. This time I put myself in danger, and my mother must be very angry. "I'm afraid I'm going to be heavily punished this time.

Hua Ge'er said: "Lord Shizi, you didn't risk your life. "It's a stand-in who goes to Liangshan Temple, not the prince himself, so how can he be considered in danger!

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "You don't understand. ”

As he was talking, he saw Brother Rui's triplets walk in. Brother You rushed up and hugged Qihao and said, "Big brother, you are finally back, but you want to kill me." ”

Brother Rui said in a loud voice: "Big brother, tell me quickly, what did you gain from this trip to Mianzhou?" "When Qihao made trouble in Liangshan Temple, the triplets didn't know.

Qi Hao briefly said what he saw and heard along the way, and only avoided the affairs of Liangshan Temple.

Brother Xuan was very surprised: "He is so poor that he has no clothes to wear, so he can only nest in the bed?" He just thought that in the event of a natural disaster, these people would have no food, but he didn't expect that they would not be able to wear clothes.

Brother Rui'er's focus is different from Brother Xuan'er: "Big brother, you said you sent the two girls you saved back to the house?" Why haven't I heard of such a big thing? ”

The corners of Brother You'er's mouth twitched, but there were two more maids in the house, so he deliberately told their brothers: "Big brother, is there anything special about these two people?" ”

Qi Hao nodded and said, "That big man disguised himself as a woman to go to the academy to study." This child is not only bold but also very thoughtful, and I think my mother will like her, so I sent her back. In fact, when he saw Yin Kangle, Qihao remembered jujubes. They are all the same, they don't feel inferior to themselves as women, and they are all working hard for their goals.

The time for chatting passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was time for dinner.

When the four brothers went to the main courtyard to see Yuxi and Yunqing, they were very surprised. Brother You said: "Dad, mother." "They thought they hadn't arrived!

Yuxi said with a bad look: "The meal has been served, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”

Even Zao Zao, who was the most sluggish in reacting, could see that Yuxi was in a bad mood. At this time, she didn't dare to speak, otherwise she would definitely be punished.

At this meal, everyone ate very quietly. Brother Rui, who usually makes a noise when eating, also chews slowly this time.

The dates were the first to finish eating, and when they were finished, they stood up and said, "Mother, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." Although she was curious about what Qihao did to make her mother so angry, she couldn't control her mouth, and if her mouth was hurt at that time, she would be wronged. Moreover, she has confidence in Qihao, even if she does something wrong, her mother is reluctant to punish him heavily.

Seeing this, Liu Er also went out with her.

The triplets were very righteous, and they waited on the side after eating and did not go back. Yuxi glanced at the three of them and said, "It's none of your business here, go back and do your homework." ”

The triplets looked at Qihao.

Brother is so friendly, Yunqing is very satisfied when he sees this. Brothers should be like this, blessings and hardships.

Yuxi said angrily: "Don't you want to leave?" Did Mr. not give enough homework today? The subtext is that if she doesn't leave, she will have to do more homework.

Brother Rui hurriedly said: "Dad, mother, big brother, then let's go back first." "Her mother is ruthless, so it's better to slip away.

Looking at the back of the triplets, Yunqing was speechless. I just thought that the triplets were very brotherly, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable.

There were only three people left in the room, and Qi Hao knelt in front of Yuxi and hung his head and said, "Mother, I was wrong, don't be angry." ”

Yuxi's expression was very cold: "Have you ever thought that if your plan is seen through, it will be easy to kill you by taking the soul." At that time, what did you ask me to do with your father? ”

Qi Hao lowered his head and said: "Mother, those two **** have been hiding in the secret room, eating, drinking and Lazar are all inside, even if the plan fails, the soul can't find me." Yi Kun and Yu Zhi were too conspicuous, so they couldn't help but follow. And Hua Ge'er is relatively not that important, so he said to the outside world that Hua Ge'er is not adaptable to the soil and water, and asked him to stay to protect Qi Hao.

Yuxi didn't know about this.

Qi Hao said: "It is precisely because of this secret room that Yi Kun and Yu Zhi will agree to my plan. "The number of people who know this secret room is handful.

Yuxi's expression was still cold, but the anger in his heart dissipated a lot.

Yun Qing was a little distressed and hurriedly played a round: "Yuxi, don't be angry." Qi Hao got rid of the soul snatcher this time and wiped out all the fine works in Mianzhou, but he made a great contribution. This is also considered to be a credit for the work. ”

Yuxi looked at Qihao and asked, "Do you also think you can pass the work?" If Qi Hao thinks so, then all her years of hard work will be in vain.

Qi Hao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's the son who is not filial, which makes my father and mother worry." "On weekdays, their sister and brother have a headache and brain fever, and the mother is so worried that she can't do it, and this incident will definitely make her unable to eat and sleep.

Yuxi hummed and said, "How many times did my mother tell you before, if a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, you have forgotten to the back of your ears?" ”

Qi Hao didn't dare to argue, lowered his head and said: "It's my son who is wrong, begging my mother to punish him." Arguing only made his mother angrier. And it's a bit dangerous to do, because the secret room is not 100% safe.

Seeing that it was not bad for Qi Hao to admit his mistake, the anger in Yuxi's heart dissipated a lot: "Forget it this time, if you dare to do this next time, you won't go out again in the future." ”

Qi Hao immediately said: "Don't worry, mother, there will be no next time." "This threat is much more serious for Qi Hao than copying scriptures.

Seeing that the vigilance was lifted, Yunqing hurriedly stepped forward to help Qi Hao up, patted Qi Hao on the shoulder and said, "You, don't kneel down without moving in the future." ”

For Qi Hao, in addition to heaven and earth, only the ancestors, Yunqing and Yuxi can make him kneel.
