72. Fathers and young are strong

The frangipani in Li Wei's bedroom was moved to the yard because it was so big.

In fact, every year the gardener has to move to change the soil and prune, but it is a wildflower, and it grows very quickly in the spring, and it grows up to half a person tall. Li Wei once bullied Hongyu, saying that if he could grow taller than the pot of flowers in the house before summer, she would take him to ride a horse and ride as much as he wanted.

Note: Hongyu was two years old.

At that time, the pot of frangipani had just been moved, and the young green buds were bubbling and the gardener pruned it like a big round ball (praise to the florist's children's shoes). Hongyu saw that the flower was a little lower than him, thinking that Li Wei was helping him cheat, he was so happy, he was so coquettish and cute to her, I like you so much.

Li Wei's heart was about to soften, but looking at his little bean ding, he still couldn't allow him to go out on horseback to have fun.

A month later, Hongyu stood in front of the frangipani, which was a block taller than him, and condemned Li Wei with teary eyes.

Li Wei held on to the authority of the mother and said: "We have an appointment, we can't rely on the skin." ”

The Hongyu child who was really relayed ran to Ama to preside over the fair in tears. Later, the fourth master took him in a carriage and went to the field where the horses were running.

Since then, Hongyu has learned an idiom, which is Li Wei, a mother who wants to make up for it in front of her son, and specially taught him, so that people should not be disgraced. It means that a person cannot be evaluated based on his appearance, and by extension, a flower cannot be evaluated.

Hongyu blinked his smart eyes, "Like Eniang, right?" ”

Li Wei tried hard to correct her image, and said seriously: "Like that flower, if you are not familiar with it, you can't easily make judgments." ”

Hongyu was embarrassed: "I know Eniang very well......" with a look of disappointment of 'very familiar with you, and you also rely on me'.

Ergege helped beside him: "This is called killing ripeness." ”

Li Wei, who was abused by the two little ones, turned her head to find the fourth master who was reading and watching next to him to heal, the fourth master nodded and smiled and praised Ergege, and said to Hongyu: "Your sister is right, even if you are a very familiar person and have known him for many years, you must understand that he will have his own mind, and sometimes he will deceive you for his own sake." ”

Li Wei: "......" is it really a big man to carry out thick black education so early? Also, why use her as an example.

After the frangipani were moved to the yard, the gardener wanted the flowers to climb out of the wall according to what Li Wei said, and he used bamboo poles to build a flower wall two feet high and five feet wide for the frangipani to climb, abandoned the flower pots, and built two flower beds. Frangipani is rooted in the flower bed, and after being directly connected to the ground, the flower grows even more ferocious.

In fact, Li Wei originally wanted this flower to grow so big, and there was no place to place it in the house, so there were only a few small ones left, and the rest should be thrown away.

When the fourth master found out, he said that she was not sensible.

"Flowers and trees have spirits. You have the same name as it, and you deliberately moved it back and raised it for several years, how can you say that you can throw it away? I'm not afraid of getting into trouble. After the fourth master finished educating her, he instructed the gardener to transplant the plants in the yard in addition to the rest of the haode to the wild to plant.

After moving for a month, frangipani climbed all over the bamboo frames, and the greenery was thick. When it comes to frangipani flowering, a large field of five-petaled flowers, pink, white, and lavender. The original green wall has really become a flower wall.

The girls in the east courtyard are used to taking this flower hairpin, and some even embroider five-petal flowers on the corners of their handkerchiefs.

Li Wei gradually found that frangipani flowers have become popular, and on the few new clothes she made this year, the embroidery girls embroidered frangipani on the corners.

It was discovered by the fourth master. At night, when the two were in the tent, when he unbuttoned her clothes, he suddenly looked carefully at the collar and said, "Su Su is now covered with flowers." ”

Are you complimenting her for being fragrant?

Li Wei was rippling, and explained to the fourth master in the morning the rose fragrance she had used recently.

Fourth Master: "If you like it, next time, let Su Peisheng bring it to you directly." ”

After Li Wei sent him away, it didn't seem right to say this again, could it be that he just praised her casually yesterday and forgot about it after he finished speaking? Without waiting for disappointment, I understood when I saw the clothes to be washed away by the jade bottle.

The expression is wrong......

After returning from the Sanbeile Mansion, Li Wei and Tian Fang Fujin really became friends. No matter what Tian's eyes are, he is definitely passable on his face. Last time, she said that she would ask Li Wei to return to the list, and she would post it to her after ten days.

Li Wei took the post, and in turn said that she was not free that day, but she refused that Tian was embarrassed, and she was the one who was the east, and asked Tian to come over to watch the play.

Tian readily agreed.

On the same day, Tian came early in the morning, and brought her fourth elder brother, hugged the third elder brother's bed, and said, "Let them play with the two brothers, let's listen to the play." ”

Tian's fourth elder brother is two years old, and her third elder brother is only half a year old. How to play these two? Li Wei had no choice but to ask the fourth master in the study, and Zhang Desheng came to pick up the fourth elder brother of the Tian family later.

On the same day, Tian had dinner after listening to the play, and played until midnight before leaving. When the jade bottle that sent Tian out came back and told her that Sanbeile was waiting in the study, she knew that Tian Weishenme had been with her for so long.

When the fourth master came over in the evening, she cautiously asked him, did the third master deliberately take this opportunity to come to him? Did she get him in trouble?

When the fourth master entered the house, his face was gloomy, and he looked like he had something on his mind. Listening to her uneasy words, she smiled and said, "What do you think?" That's my own brother, who grew up in the palace together. Although I am now older and live far away, I am not unfamiliar. He came to pick up Fujin, what did he have to sit in the study? ”

Li Wei was still wondering if he was comforting her, and he said, "Actually, he came to discuss with me about Shengshou." ”

March 18 is the emperor's 50th birthday, and these sons began to prepare for birthday gifts a few years ago. This year, when the day arrived, they went to kowtow to celebrate their birthdays, and the king of Zhijun also performed a sword dance, and the emperor was also praised at that time, which was very happy.

But a month later, they vaguely heard the news from the palace, and the emperor didn't seem to be satisfied with their birthday gift. It was a picture of the longevity word sent by a few little brothers, and the fans made by himself made the emperor smile. For example, the rumor that the king of Zhijun began to pray for the emperor every day three years before the emperor's birthday was privately reprimanded by the emperor as a play.

There's definitely a little bit of acting. It's just that everyone did this before, and the emperor, who is even more exaggerated than this, was also very happy before, why is he angry this time?

The wind direction in the palace is about to change again?

The third master was a little anxious, and said to the fourth master: "Fourth, I'm really confused." Your head is clear, what do you say about Huang Ama? ”

The fourth master was also frightened, and after coming to the East Courtyard, he hugged Li Wei and sighed, and unconsciously, he asked her: "You say...... What does the emperor mean by this? ”

Li Wei felt that this was an opportunity to send her to Su. It's time to spread love and save Shijie.

Besides, let her tell me whether the emperor plans to play a balance between the prince and the crown prince, and she can't analyze it.

So Li Wei was silent for a long time, hoping that the fourth master was just talking to himself, but when he looked up, he was waiting for her to speak.

“…… Probably, that's what the emperor meant. She stammered.

The fourth master pondered: "...... that mean?" ”

"That's it...... I don't want to see the meaning of acting...... Right? "Maybe the emperor is really not happy to watch everyone do drama for a while? The emperor also has a time when he is in the second year of secondary school, and you are not sincere to me.

He's fifty, and he can be confused. It is said that the older the younger, the younger the younger. If the emperor really wants to lose his temper and be willful, who can say no?

That night, the fourth master stood in front of the desk and wrote two large stacks of characters until nine o'clock. After going to bed, he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, Li Wei was still cooking cakes when he fell asleep, and he was already gone when he got up in the morning.

"Alas......" Li Wei sighed, a little sympathetic to the fourth master. The higher you stand, the more stress. A small action above can scare him into not sleeping well for a few nights.

The fourth master, who returned to the study, called Dai Duo, and after several years of experience, Dai Duo was basically able to give the fourth master a few ideas. When he chased to the place where the emperor toured south, he said to the fourth master after he came back: "The emperor's southern tour, including the previous three years of personal expedition, is to boast that the country is as safe as Mount Tai, the Qing Dynasty soldiers are strong and strong, and the emperor loves the people like a son." ”

The fourth master doesn't quite understand, isn't this obvious?

Dai Duo is a Han Chinese, and he used to want to make a career by studying, but unfortunately although he has a high vision, his ability to read is not enough. Repeated attempts did not weaken his will, but aroused his spirit. finally got under the door of the fourth master, not to mention the powder to repay, but also has the consciousness of working with his head.

When a man is in the world, he can find a candidate to worship the prime minister, which can be regarded as having lofty ambitions.

Basically, he followed the fourth master, and he didn't have the idea of eating a bowl of Taiping rice.

Dai Duo saw that the fourth master was puzzled, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and whispered: "For example, that person, once he was in a high position, and the people around him were eyeing him, he naturally refused to show the slightest weakness......"

"Presumptuous." The fourth master put down the tea bowl and glanced at him lightly.

Dai Duo immediately felt a chill on the back of his neck, and immediately pressed his forehead to the ground, and the whole person was about to lie on the ground.

He almost said that the emperor was weak-hearted, and he was afraid that the Han people would rebel, so he was pro-conquest and boasted of force, and he was a literati on the southern tour. While demonstrating national strength, he also frequently gives grace.

This fourth master just didn't turn the corner for a while, he was used to the natural status of the Manchurians, and he didn't react to it, even the emperor was vigilant against the Han rebellion day and night. But when you think about it, everything is logical.

After that, although the fourth master didn't like Dai Duo to speak boldly and speculate on the emperor's heart, he still kept him.

This time, the fourth master still called Dai Duo and taught him what the emperor said about the king of Zhijun behind his back, and asked, "What does the emperor mean by this?" ”

Dai Duo dipped his fingers in tea and wrote the word 'Shaozhuang' on the table.

The fourth master narrowed his eyes.

There was silence in the study.

Dai Duo kept peeking at the fourth master's expression from the corner of his eye.

The fourth master waved his hand for Dai Duo to go down, stood up and spun around the room.

Is...... Is the emperor afraid of the elder brothers' 'young and strong'? He remembered that the emperor refused to celebrate the holy birthday and had doted on the little brother since a few years ago.

Taizong lived for fifty-one years, and Shizu died in the twenty-fifth year, is the emperor really worried about the ...... of Shengshou?

The fourth master stood in front of the window and looked at the courtyard, and took a few deep breaths. Something as hot as fire welled up in his chest, and for a moment, he was not sad for the emperor, but excited.

He let out a slow breath.

A mountain that had been looking up was tired.

What he was thinking was...... This is a good opportunity to take him down.

Overthrow him, and you can sit in that seat.

But in a blink of an eye, he calmed down. But the thoughts that came to him at this moment were still engraved in his heart like a knife mark, and even if he calmed down now, he couldn't help but think about it over and over again.

In comparison, he was still worried about how to choose the prince or the prince under the pressure of the emperor, which was as childish and ridiculous as he watched Hongyu's game.

But a few days later, when the third master visited again, the fourth master, who had been excited by the thoughts that surged up in an instant for the past few days, suddenly calmed down. He looked at the third brother who seemed to be worried about the emperor's every move as before, and actually felt that the third brother's reaction was particularly false.

Is the third brother lying to him?

The fourth master became alert. Everyone is the emperor's elder brother, and the third brother is older than him. He can have ambitions for the emperor to become 'old and confused', what about the third brother?

The third master didn't drink the tea, still sighing: "Fourth, what do you say you want to do?" ”

What did the fourth master think in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he sighed with him: "Third brother, my younger brother is also confused." Alas......"

After sending the third master away, the fourth master slowly paced back to the study and stood next to the small table where the two of them were drinking tea just now. The tea bowl has been accepted by the little eunuch, he stared at the position where the third master was sitting, and said in his heart: Third brother, are you really lying to your younger brother?

In addition to you, do the other brothers also have their own thoughts?

What about the fifth brother? What about the seventh brother?

Before, the seventh brother's side Fujin followed Su Suxue in everything in your house, and the seventh brother really didn't mean anything else?

From that day on, your side Fujin came to find Susu, and you came to me. Do you really think that the seventh brother's legs are not good, and it is not worth being beaten and vigilant, is your fourth brother and me worth it?

…… What about the fifth brother?

What does he mean?

There is Concubine Yi in the palace, and Lao Jiu outside the palace. The mother family is Guo Luoluo, the eighth brother's Fujin and Yifei family.

The fourth master stood in the study until dark, and Su Peisheng, who was outside the door, didn't dare to come in by himself to remind him, so he kicked a little eunuch in and lit the lamp. The little eunuch came in tremblingly, shaking his hands to light the lamp, and before he went out, the fourth master, who was blinded by the sudden light, frowned at him.

With a plop, the little eunuch knelt down, and the whole person trembled like chaff, but he didn't cry out for mercy. The eunuchs waiting in the study all know the habits of the fourth master, and he dislikes the eunuch who is punished the most as soon as he kneels down and cries loudly and begs for mercy.

So the big eunuch took them, and the first thing they taught was not to beg for mercy or cry when they were punished, even if they kowtowed, they had to spend the thoughts of the fourth master, if the fourth master was annoying, it was best not to even kowtow too ugly.

How can you call it not ugly? Just can't knock the blood and splash the tears, which makes the master nauseous.

So the little eunuch knelt down and knelt down, and he didn't dare to knock his head, so he could only desperately sweep the fourth master's look from the corner of his eye.

The fourth master didn't notice him, and when he saw the fourth master's eyes away, Su Peisheng desperately made his eyes by the door to get this kid out quickly. The little eunuch crawled out with a roll, and as soon as he came out, his face was full of tears, and he didn't forget to cover his mouth with his hands for fear that he would howl out.

Su Peisheng looked at him like a bear, afraid that he would be scared to pee here again in a while, and whispered: "Get out!" Go back and wash your dog's face! ”

Standing until seven o'clock, it was dark. The fourth master called inside: "Su Peisheng." ”

Su Peisheng hurriedly took a deep breath and lowered his head to enter.

The fourth master said: "Let them pass the meal." ”

Su Peisheng withdrew and rushed to the dining room.

Eunuch Liu was sitting in the house drinking wine and eating side dishes, when he saw Su Peisheng rushing in like a dog, he pulled him to the stove, and asked him quickly along the way: "Quick!" What did Master Li use today? Is there anything else? Get out of the table! ”

Eunuch Liu could see at a glance that the fourth master's mood was definitely wrong at this time, but today Master Li used salty soufflé, millet porridge, vinegar mixed with Songhua eggs, steamed toon sprouts, stir-fried spring bamboo shoots, scallion oil chicken, and dry-fried small crucian carp. No matter how he looks at it, it won't suit the taste of the fourth master. That millet porridge and steamed toon are possible, but the rest of them are not right.

Su Peisheng jumped to urge him as if he was urging him.

Eunuch Liu had no choice but to hurriedly pack these things into boxes, but he refused to ask the eunuch in the dining room to carry the box, and stuffed it directly into Su Peisheng's hands.

Su Peisheng didn't care about scolding him, and threw down the sentence: "You old thing!" Wait for your grandfather to treat you when he is free! "Picked up the food box and ran.

Eunuch Liu stood at the door and watched him run away, and said, "Your grandfather is waiting here, grandson." ”
