The fourth elder brother has been busy with the mansions of the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother recently. It's like it's stuck in his hands and can't get rid of it! If when he took over this errand a year ago, he still wanted to repay the emperor's kindness, and the brotherhood was wonderful, but now he is completely annoyed.

He's not in charge of building houses.

But the current situation is that every day, no matter what happens, he has to go to the Internal Affairs Office to sit. Waiting for others to come and report to him, 'Fourth Elder Brother, there are only 400 green bricks left', 'Fourth Elder Brother, more than 600 seedlings of holly trees have withered', 'Fourth Elder Brother, the pool in the small garden in the east can't be filled, today someone carried the roof tiles over, and they fell in, and the tiles were broken in two'.

Ah, go to death! That's not what you do!

Revenge is revenge, the fourth elder brother still slowly put down the tea bowl, and said to the person in front of him who was waiting for him to say what to do with the tile: "Oh, what about the person who carries the tile?" ”

"One got stuck in the mud, and finally dug it out and ran out of gas, and the other broke a leg." The people who fill the pool are so easy to do! The inside was filled with some earth, and a few wooden planks were put on the outside. The two of them took two steps less and picked up this path, and the result was like this.

Yes, I originally wanted to play the board, but now I ...... The fourth elder brother shook his head and sighed: "Give their family some silver, send it well." Nawa urged, saying that this day should come, and then drag it on, let's go to the emperor with our heads together. ”

Seeing that the fourth elder brother had a face of 'I didn't find anyone to play the board', the man rolled out quickly.

The fourth elder brother let out a sigh of relief, so annoying.

It's better to be still than to be still. I am very lucky to be able to stay in the house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I heard that the emperor trained the prince yesterday, and he gave food at noon. The third elder brother said that he had heat stroke and was recuperating in the house. The eighth elder brother has often accompanied him recently, and he seems to have a dislike with the eldest brother.

It is said that the eldest brother can't see the eighth elder brother getting the emperor's favor.

The fourth elder brother could only laugh.

Eighth brother has been quite popular recently. As soon as he said that he was favored by the emperor, Fujin of Nalan Mingzhu was stabbed to death, and the emperor only sent him to visit. The second is that he got a good fortune. He is the widow of He Shuogege and the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le. His father Guo Luo Luo Ming was still slightly wronged when he died, but he gambled two thousand taels of silver. It won't be now, I can only say that this person didn't catch up with the good time.

It's just that the fourth elder brother thinks that if you look at it from another angle, the emperor probably just wanted to slap Prince An from the beginning. Guo Luo Luo Mingshang was unfortunately selected by the emperor to be a raft, and if Prince An's Gege had not died, the emperor would have given her a second marriage in a few years. Who knew that the forehead was attached, and Prince An's Gege also followed. As soon as the feud became bigger, the emperor had no choice but to go back and make up for it.

Eighth Elder Brother, this Fu Jin is a blessing, and it is difficult to say whether it is a curse.

Compared with the eighth elder brother, the seventh elder brother who opened the mansion in the same year as him and married Fujin in the same year will become pitiful. People outside talk about 'the seventh elder brother who opened the mansion with the eighth elder brother', and it is really embarrassing for the elder brother to be in this position. Although his mother Dai Jia is a concubine, she has not entered the palace for more than ten years. It was also a good time for her to enter the palace, and the first seal was also high. has a son who has not been sealed for more than ten years, and not being favored is simply a brand poking at her. With such a mother concubine, the seventh elder brother is not outstanding, and he has not yet delivered a word to how to repair this mansion. Could it be that the Ministry of Internal Affairs really coped with errands and fooled around at will?

The fourth elder brother thought about it, copied the map of the seventh elder brother's mansion and went to the elder brother's place.

Although I have only moved out for two or three years, it feels like I am separated from the world when I come back here. The fourth elder brother walked within the familiar palace walls, and he actually felt nostalgic.

He walked two steps to enjoy the scenery, and when he arrived at the elder brother's office, the seventh elder brother happened to be there.

"It's just right, Lao Qi came over to take a look, what kind of mansion is going to be built?" The fourth elder brother said directly when he entered the house, he stuffed the Kanyu map in his hand into the seventh elder brother's hand, and said, "Serve tea, I'm dying of thirst." ”

The seventh elder brother held the picture under his armpit and personally held him tea: "Fourth brother, please use it." ”

After drinking a bowl of tea with them, the two of them went to the seventh elder brother's study and spread out the map on the desk near the window. The fourth elder brother pointed to him from the front door and explained to him step by step, he originally had to do the best in everything he did, and even the trees in the mansions of the seventh and eighth elder brothers were personally chosen by him. The head of his speech was the Tao, and the seventh elder brother only nodded.

The fourth elder brother was dissatisfied: "Seventh, you also give your fourth brother a cheer, say something accurate, what are you doing with only nodding from beginning to end?" If you have a favorite scenery, you can still change it now, and the fourth brother will do it for you. ”

The seventh elder brother was a silent person when he was in the elder brother's office, although he was a mother concubine like the eighth elder brother, and the maternal family of the eighth elder brother was worse in comparison, but on the contrary, the xiangshang energy in the eighth elder brother was stronger, and the seventh elder brother did not mean this.

At this time, the seventh elder brother said: "Listening to what the fourth brother just said, I know that I can't be wrong." When my brother moves in, I'm sure I like everything. This is all because the fourth brother treats his younger brother well, and the younger brother knows. ”

The fourth elder brother suddenly felt that the seventh elder brother was really good. I used to think that he was unwilling, which made people look down on him. Now it seems that I know it in my heart.

He laughed and said, "That's good." As he spoke, he swept in the seventh elder brother's study, and saw that the paintings were all flowers, birds, insects and fish, which was quite comfortable and elegant. It seems that the seventh elder brother is really a person who has no desire to compete and is only willing to get by.

After I went back, I made a few small changes on the map of the Seven Elder Brothers' Mansion, adding some strange stones, thin bamboo, etc. A few swimming fish were also added to the garden pool, and the corner of the stairs specially told the gardener to remember to raise some moss. This time, the smug energy came out.

Blessed is it to give than to receive. After doing this little thing of caring for his younger brother, the fourth elder brother's heart was filled with the pride of being an older brother.

After returning to the house, I remembered that I got up early and said that I would take Ergege and Su Su to go to the spring, and asked Su Peisheng to call the embroidery girl in the house, and opened the warehouse to get a few new good materials this year. I laid out the paper at one end, and a few strokes sketched a graceful woman. The woman stood in the middle, with a round face and almond eyes, a shallow smile, a black hair tied up in her ear, and a cat's eye hairpin obliquely inserted.

He changed the pen, adjusted the paint, first hooked the edges, then colored, and then carefully carved. The person in the painting wears a pearl pink jacket, a cheongsam with a peach-pink face and silver trim, a rabbit collar cape, white rabbit fur trimming, willow leaf yellow for the face, snow green for the inside, stepping on a pair of crimson boots, and white rabbit fur embellishments on it.

When the embroidery girl came, Su Peisheng made a look at them and asked them to wait. When the fourth elder brother finished painting, he called over and ordered: "According to the style in the painting, make two sets, one large and one small." Give you half a month, possibly do it? ”

The embroidery girl said that there was no problem.

The fourth elder brother advised: "Only silver threads are used to embroider patterns on pink clothes, and no silk threads of other colors can be used. "I kept thinking about it again, I had to pinch my waist here, what embroidery pattern I wanted to use over there, and so on.

Tossing these things is like a pastime for the fourth elder brother. Xiuniang retreated to the small courtyard, he remembered that he wanted to burn a kiln of porcelain for Su Su, and asked Su Peisheng: "Is the kiln white porcelain burned?" ”

Su Peisheng said: "I sent it yesterday, and the slave took someone to order it personally." A total of 236 pieces. ”

The fourth elder brother was interested, and a few of the things he painted himself, and said, "Send them to see." ”

Su Peisheng went to lead someone to carry over the two boxes, opened them and held them on the desk.

This kiln porcelain is all sweet white and thin porcelain, and it is as white as the skin of a beautiful woman who can see through the light. In order to burn this porcelain color, the potter spent a lot of time.

Li Wei likes round porcelain, no matter cups, plates, bowls, cups, pots, bottles, even if it is a flower pot in her house, it is a pumpkin type, but she is not satisfied, if it is round like a watermelon, she will be even happier.

Everything else is easy to find, but the bowl for drinking tea is not round, and the fourth elder brother has seen her drinking tea with a stew cup in the dining room more than once, which makes him unaccustomed to it, and always feels that she is drinking soup.

This time, I simply burned it all to her in one go.

The desks in the hall are full of sweet white porcelain, large and small, and the room is full of light when the sun shines. Su Peisheng saw that the fourth elder brother showed a satisfied smile, and shouted in his heart to thank God for the potters.

The first thing he picked up was a cup made according to Li Wei's painting, which was actually a covered mug with a big belly. At that time, the two of them were talking about the kiln in the study, and she drew a pen and pointed to the cup and said that it was easy to take. He tried it, and it was really easy to take. It's hard to figure out how she came up with this out of a stew pot.

Li Wei said: "Two handles are held in both hands, one handle is held in one hand, how convenient it is." ”

For the sake of Su's style and Su's safety, she really exhausted her efforts.

The fourth elder brother picked a few and picked them up carefully, nodded and said, "Leave some here and send the rest to her." ”

He is also happy to use some good ones.

When Zhang Desheng carried the wooden box to the small courtyard, the embroidery girl had not left, and the two sides walked face to face. The embroidery girls saw that they were carrying a few boxes of things to the small courtyard, and they didn't dare to say it in person, and only when they returned to the next room did they say: "They all say how Li Gege is, I can't believe it if I don't see it with my own eyes." ”

One said: "Where is this?" In the past, the filial piety of the queen ......"

"Shhhh You don't want to die! Shut up! ”

A room of people didn't dare to speak, and silently went to measure the size and cut the material.

In the small courtyard, Li Wei was crazy with joy when she saw a box of various cups and bowls! In modern times, she loves to collect all kinds of cups and bowls, and when she sees them on Taobao, she wants to buy them, and she can't move when she passes by the kitchen and bathroom counter in the supermarket. Because I like porcelain, I love to buy small flower pots when I see them in the flower market, and when I buy them, I want to use them next time I plant flowers. It's just that 'next time' is far away......

Zhang Desheng saw that Li Gege commanded the room full of people to change everything they were using, and all the flowers in the house had to be repotted, so he was afraid that they would not be able to keep busy, so he brought people to stay and help. The new ones should be taken out and scrubbed, and the old ones should be scrubbed and packed and put away. Zhao Quanbao called a gardener and took all the flowers away for new pots.

The frangipani that Li Wei put in the bedroom was □ and treated, changed to a large basin, and erected two poles, "See if it will climb up." She said.

The gardener had never raised this kind of wildflower, and it didn't look like a vine that could climb a pole, but since the master wanted to see it climb, it had to be able to climb, so he decided to go back and find a pole to fix the branches around it to see if it could live, and next year to see if it could be grafted with vines.

Su Peisheng saw that Zhang Desheng had not come back for a long time, and was about to find someone to ask, but the fourth elder brother saw that it was almost lunch, so he came over directly. As soon as he entered the small courtyard, he saw a lot of wooden boxes in the courtyard, and Zhao Quanbao and Zhang Desheng were leading people to register and make a register while collecting them.

"What's going on? Little Desheng! Don't roll over yet! Su Peisheng stepped forward and shouted.

As soon as the fourth elder brother arrived, everyone in the courtyard knelt down.

Li Wei came out of the house with Ergege, and the two of them were holding a mug that had just been delivered.

"Amma, E-niang taught me to drink milk with this!" Ergege said excitedly as he held his glass.

Seeing the mug, Li Wei suddenly remembered modern milk tea, which is always weird to drink in a gaiwan here. She asked the jade bottle to boil a pot, pretended to be a family with two grids, and specially asked the dining room to bring chicken cakes and all kinds of puff pastry.

Ergege found it interesting with a different cup, and he couldn't wait to share it when he saw Amma.

There was a mess outside, and a family of three moved to the west chamber. The jade bottle brought people milk tea and snacks, and the fourth elder brother was also very interested in accompanying the second grid to dress up the family, and use a mug seriously. Li Weite watched in amazement as Er Gege taught the fourth elder brother how to hold the cup, and she didn't know where so many 'new cup usage rules' came out of her little head, and the fourth elder brother really listened to her. Father and daughter had a great time.

Li Wei felt that she was being ignored. When Ergege finished teaching people, when she turned around and saw that the dim sum was about to finish her mother, her mouth was flattened, and she looked at her mother aggrievedly.

Li Wei couldn't swallow a mouthful of red bean crisp, and even the fourth elder brother pretended to reprimand her with a straight face: "How can you eat so much?" ”

"That's it! It is! Ergege nodded his little head.

"It's time for dinner." Fourth Brother Road.

"That's it! It is! Ergege happily watched Eniang being trained.

"Put it all away." The fourth elder brother said to the jade bottle.

The jade bottle came and took away all the dim sum plates.

“…… QAQ" Ergege looked at the jade bottle with teary eyes and took the plate.

Ergege has been in a low mood during lunch, but Zuihou or Li Wei comforted her to wait for a nap to have something to eat, which made her happy.

The fourth elder brother was still hesitating whether to coax her along the second grid, or take the opportunity to teach her to restrain herself, but saw that Li Wei had already coaxed her daughter. Seeing the mother and daughter eating happily again in an instant, he still couldn't accept it.

These two heartless ones!

Look at Ergege again, your mother didn't even take out the snacks to show you, and she didn't promise you how many pieces you can eat when you take a nap, how much you can eat, is it the same as in the morning, you just agreed so simply? When he was coaxed by his mother-up, he would still muttered in his heart, 'Don't underestimate the master, I know that you are the coaxing master', but it can be seen that Ergege has completely believed it.

The fourth elder brother thought to himself, Su Su was not born by him, it is good to say that he looks like this, Ergege has his blood on his body, and he can't raise him like her mother.

It just so happened that he felt that the place originally prepared for Brother Ah in the front yard was empty, and while the big and second grids were still small, he didn't have to care about the difference between men and women, so he simply moved over together, so that he could open his mouth to Fujin.

He made up his mind not to leave after lunch, but to stay and rest. The two of them were lying on the couch in the west chamber, and when they were talking, the fourth elder brother asked Li Wei tentatively: "In the future, let Ergege go to study with me during the day." ”

Li Wei only thought of one, and said vigilantly: "Let Ergege start at three o'clock now?" ”

"Of course not. Let her go over after breakfast, and come back to you for lunch. You don't have to go in the afternoon. The fourth elder brother felt that it was good to arrange it like this, and waited for Li Wei to refute it, and the two of them could talk about the conditions.

"Okay." Isn't this just going to kindergarten and early education? The fourth elder brother is considered a first-level doctor of Chinese studies, right? He can teach everything from literature to martial arts, and he doesn't have to worry about him abusing his children.

"......" agreed too quickly, which made the fourth elder brother a little unable to react. And, why not worry at all? You have to express your motherly heart anyway, right?

"I should make her some little backpacks." Li Wei's biggest gain after crossing is that her sewing skills are full, and her hands itch from time to time and she wants to do something. Make a few multi-grid small backpacks, small pencil cases, and small pockets for Ergege, how cute.

Seeing that she was thinking about this, the fourth elder brother who was ready to grind his mouth couldn't cry or laugh. I also thought in my heart, maybe he thought badly, for women, the future of the children is always the most worrying for them. Looking at Su Su like this, it shouldn't be too difficult for Fujin to do it.
