East Courtyard.
At three o'clock in the morning, the fourth master quietly got up and got out of bed, and Li Wei, who was sleeping in the bed, woke up in a daze, grabbed his underwear from behind and asked vaguely: "What are you doing?"
He turned around and pulled her hand back into the quilt and said softly, "You go back to sleep."
Honghui came back yesterday, and he was used to getting up early in the palace in the palace.
I went to look at him. ” After leaving the palace for many years, he was also lazy by her.
When they slept alone in the study in the front yard, they started at five o'clock, and in the east courtyard, they started at six o'clock, each later than the other.
So far, it is five o'clock when he is in front, and six o'clock in the east courtyard.
When Honghui went home, he would get up earlier when he needed to enter the palace, and his usual schedule had already changed.
It's too early to wake up at three o'clock.
Li Wei casually put her head together, put on a cotton robe and got up to wait for him to dress, and he pressed it back into the quilt, and said, "I really treat your grandfather as the fourth elder brother, and I can wear the clothes myself." ” Li Wei hugged the quilt and leaned on his back to make trouble for him, and when he laughed, he put on his clothes before asking Yuhua and others to bring in hot water for washing.
Probably because it had become a habit for her not to ask for waiting, and he now occasionally dressed himself in the morning, and only called the girls in when he was ready.
Li Wei felt that she had to give him a compliment After washing, he left, and the jade bottle asked her, "Master, sleep a little longer, it's still early." ” Li Wei drank half a bowl of warm water and nodded: "I'll get some sleep, and you guys should go back and sleep for a while."
Tell them to serve small wontons in the morning and eat them simply. ” The jade bottle smiled: "Yes."
He rested with his master, closed the tent, took out the lamp, and gently closed the door of the inner room.
Go to the tea room with Yuzhan and others to put down the copper kettle, copper basin and other toiletries, Yuzhan roasted her hands on the stove in the tea room, and said angrily: "Why don't you go back and squint for a while" The jade bottle took out a jar of mutton fat from the small cabinet and gave it to the jade cup, and said, "Wipe your hands, don't be embarrassed."
I won't squint, it's too hard to lie down in the winter, and I can't sleep long anyway.
The master said that in the morning, I will use small wontons, and the side dishes will be arbitrary, and I will order small buns, pancakes, and braised eggs. ” Yuzhan wiped her hands to return the mutton fat to the jade bottle, but was pushed back: "It's for you, take it."
This is a new one that the master got two days ago, and he gave it to me if he didn't like it.
I still have it over there, and you keep this jar. ” Yuzhan put it in his purse and said, "Then I'll go find someone to send a message to the dining room, whether to call the waiter in the front yard or the backyard today."
The jade bottle said: "The little wonton is still made by Liu Baoquan in the front yard, so it's called the front yard."
He also makes other things exquisitely, not to mention" Yuzhan nodded and said, "I understand, then I'll go." ” What's more, the things in the front yard are more reassuring than those in the back yard.
Yuzhan lit the lantern and walked out of the tea room, deliberately avoiding the road on the other side of the main house, and passed through the middle of the courtyard to the inverted seat.
Zhao Quan did not come back from the eunuch's room in the front yard, which was also good for the East Courtyard.
In addition to him, Xiao Xizi and the other four eunuchs were resting on their seats.
Xiao Xizi got up early, and two of the remaining three had to take turns guarding the door, one in the first half of the night and the other in the second half of the night, and they only dared to lean against the stove with their clothes together.
When the fourth master got up just now, the people in the upside-down seat woke up.
Yuzhan stood in front of the door and whispered to the window, "There is no one who is free." ” Soon a eunuch came out of it, his name was Qian Tong.
Although the name has a taste of a stock market, he is the most simple of this group of eunuchs.
Even Zhao Quanbao said that if this person hadn't entered the East Courtyard, he would have to be killed when he turned around.
Qian Tong's head is lower than the jade cup, and if the eunuch cuts it early, he won't grow tall.
Qian Tong said that he didn't remember how old he was, and he couldn't even remember whether it was painful at the time or how long he had been raised.
I only said that I don't know if it was my biological father's hand or my stepfather.
Anyway, the person who sold him into the palace was his father.
He said to Yuzhan Ha waist: "Sister, what is there to call me to go" Yuzhan gave him the lantern and said, "You go to the front yard dining room and find Grandpa Liu and say that the master wants to use small wontons in the morning, and the rest is for him to watch." ” Qian Tong repeated it to see if there were enough candles in the lantern, and then carried the lantern out of the courtyard.
There is a small gate between the east courtyard and the front yard, but that door only recognizes the master, and Qian Tong is not so rich, so he can only take a detour.
These subordinates usually go to the side door.
Going out from the east courtyard, walking one hundred and eighty steps by the wall is a side gate.
As soon as the eunuch guarding the door saw Qian Tong, he immediately opened the door and said: "Brother works hard, he is an errand for his master."
Qian Tong haha, and said: "You are also hard, you are also hard." ” After this side door is a long and narrow dark passageway, there is a door at each end, the front one is the front yard, and the back one is the back yard dining room, firewood room and lower room.
The two eunuchs guarding the aisle door had knives hanging from their waists and opened the door at three o'clock in the morning every day.
Qian Tong stepped forward with a lantern, and the two of them checked the real thing before letting him go.
Walking straight past is the front yard dining room and the back door firewood room, and Qian Tong entered through the small door before he reached the ground.
The inside and outside of the dining room have long been brightly lit, and people come and go in the firewood room, and the two of them carry firewood to the stove in pairs, and the voices are boiling.
Qian Tong raised the lantern and shouted to borrow light, borrow light, in order not to miss the affairs of others, he deliberately picked the corner and walked, but no one saw such an ancestor coming until he stood at the door of the stove in charge of Eunuch Liu.
Still Xiao Luzi saw a word of the east on the lantern at a glance, put down the work in his hand and rushed out: "Brother Qian, Brother Qian, why don't you shout when you arrive" shouted outside the door, "Brother Qian doesn't know how to shout when he comes."

Qian Tong hurriedly said: "I came from the firewood room."
Grandpa Liu is busy at this moment, so let me tell you the same. ” Xiao Luzi waved his hand again and again, took the lantern and blew it out, forced Qian Tong to sit down by the door, and said: "Don't, Brother Qian, if my master knows about it, he will definitely scold me, you wait, the master will come over in a while."
Qian Tong wanted to hold him, but who knew that Xiaoluzi was as slippery as a fish, he first flashed to the stove and picked up a coarse porcelain bowl, filled a bowl of mutton soup, fished out half a bowl of fresh mutton, added salt and pepper, and sprinkled a large handful of green onions, grabbed two of yesterday's cold cakes from another basket, and came back and handed them to Qian Dao: "Brother Qian, don't dislike it, you must not have eaten at this time, use it first."
The soup and cakes were all leftover from yesterday's masters, and my master said that we would eat under this soup today, and they were all eaten by us, and they were clean. ” Qian Tong held the bowl in one hand and the cake in the other, and the fragrance went straight to his nose, and he didn't care about talking and called Xiaoluzi slip away.
The cake was cold and hard, but when he saw that his master had eaten it, he soaked it in the hot mutton soup, not to mention how fragrant it was.
He swallowed his saliva, broke the cake into several large pieces and soaked them in a bowl, and couldn't wait to drink a big mouthful of soup first, so hot that his tongue was about to fall off, and he couldn't bear to spit it out, swallowed it, and fished for meat to eat.
At this time, Eunuch Liu raised his chopsticks and carried a piece of white meat in the bowl and said: "This piece is tendon, the most fragrant, smoothest and most tender, eat it quickly." ” was so frightened that Qian Tong choked on a mouthful of cake and soup in his throat, and his face turned red.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly patted him on the back and said lovingly: "What do you say you are in a hurry for this kid, your grandfather Liu can still eat a bite of food here, just eat" shouted at the end, "Xiao Luzi, give you Brother Qian to pick up the dishes and come up."
"Come on" Xiaoluzi ran over quickly, put down a plate of diced radish, diced pickles, and diced mushrooms, and poured a few drops of sesame oil on it.
Qian Tong was finally able to free a hand, waved his hand desperately and said: "I'm here to order food for the master, I can't eat it, I really can't eat it."
When he said that, he felt inappropriate and remembered it, so he was pressed by Eunuch Liu on the shoulder and said, "Don't go outside, just say so." ” Qian Tong still put the bowl down, stood up and said to Eunuch Liu in a proper manner: "Grandpa Liu, Sister Yuzhan of our courtyard said that the master wants to use small wontons this morning, and you should look at the others." ” As soon as his voice fell, Xiao Luzi went to pick meat on the meat case.
Eunuch Liu also listened with a serious face, and said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Liu knows."
As soon as it is ready for the master, then you continue to eat, don't be polite to your Grandpa Liu, it will make your Grandpa Liu feel very uncomfortable. ” Qian Tong regretted that he died, why didn't he hold back and take a sip of soup He stayed in the second half of the night last night, and Yuzhan had just changed his clothes when he came to call, and the person was still asleep and pretending to be dead in the first half of the night, so he had to run out quickly.
I was cold and hungry, and I was confused for a while when I saw the mutton soup.
Eunuch Liu turned around and stared at the person on the meat case chopping the meat filling, this wonton filling should be eaten strongly, the meat filling is fat and thin, and the mincing must be chopped well. was looking at the stuffing, and saw Xiao Luzi covering his mouth and laughing there. was slapped on the back of the head by him, "Why don't you rub your dough quickly if you laugh" Xiao Luzi pointed to the door and said, "Master, look at that big fool."
When Eunuch Liu looked back, he saw a big bowl by the door, and the soup in it was clean and clean, and Qian Tongren was gone.
"He drank such hot soup," Eunuch Liu was also shocked.
Xiao Luzi smiled even more happily, and said: "Why do you say that he is so sincere, he just doesn't drink it, let's still say that he is not such a hot bowl of soup, don't burn your throat now" Eunuch Liu gave him another slap: "Knowing that people are honest will not give people less pomp" Xiao Luzi said: "He's a guest, can I serve him half a bowl, that's not the reason for hospitality." ” Eunuch Liu: "Come on, come on, don't talk nonsense, your dough is kneaded, and you didn't ask me to take a look." ” The stove room was busy, and in the former academy field, the fourth master was boxing with Honghui, Hongyu and the third elder brother.
After two punches, white smoke rose from the heads of the father and son.
The fourth master said: "Okay, go back to the house to wash and change clothes, and go to the study to endorse after breakfast." ” Hongyu and the third elder brother retired first, leaving the fourth master and Honghui.
Honghui has grown fast and is as tall as the fourth master's shoulders, because he is growing taller, he looks thinner.
The fourth master looked at him, sighed in his heart, the father and son slowly paced back, he asked Honghui: "Is there anything you don't understand if you can keep up with what Mr. said in the study?"
Between questions and answers, I returned to Honghui's small courtyard.
The eunuchs had already prepared hot water for washing, and breakfast had been brought back.
The fourth master patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't work too hard, I'll have breakfast for a while, and I'll ask you about your homework when you go to the study." ” Honghui bowed down and said yes, and watched the fourth master leave.
After entering the small courtyard, I heard the voices of Hongyu and the third elder brother next door, as if the two brothers lived together When he was washing, he asked the eunuch: "The second elder brother and the third elder brother live in the same courtyard now."
The eunuch said: "The third elder brother has his own courtyard, but he often stays in the courtyard of the second elder brother. ” Honghui was somewhat envious in his heart.
After breakfast, it was already dark.
As soon as he came out of the small courtyard, he saw Hongyu and the third elder brother talking and laughing, and he stopped and called them: "Hongyu, third brother." ” Hongyu immediately saluted, and the third elder brother put away the smile on his face and bowed respectfully.
Honghui hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said, "Why do you have to come here in your own house, Honghui, you were convinced by the beating yesterday" He joked.
Hongyu smiled: "If you are not convinced, you will ask them to fight again" Honghui said: "Oh, then my brother is waiting for you to win next time, and my eldest brother will give you the Mongolian waist knife inlaid with turquoise."
The third elder brother followed behind the two elder brothers, and because he was not familiar with this eldest brother, he didn't talk much.
Honghui deliberately bent down and said to him: "After lunch for a while, do you want the third brother to bet on the dice with the eldest brother The eldest brother has won a lot of good things in the palace."
The third elder brother didn't have a guard, and when he saw that the second brother and the eldest brother's guards couldn't get mixed with him, he was happy, and said, "Okay, thank you, big brother." ” Honghui patted his head, although he was still a little rusty, but he would get better in the future E-Niang said to treat his brother well, he understands.
But he really likes his younger brothers in his heart.
Everyone in the palace is cousins, but they are also separated from each other.
It's better than the brothers outside, or the brothers of their own family.
How good it would be for his younger brothers to grow up and become his arms.
In the study, the fourth master, who arrived one step earlier, saw the three brothers coming over together, the atmosphere was not bad, and he was also happy in his heart.
Seeing that Honghui was walking in the middle, he was talking to Hongyu lively, and he didn't forget to hold the third elder brother.
It can be seen that what he experienced in the upper study is still meaningful to him, he has grown up, and he understands the importance of his brother.
The happy fourth master took the three brothers to read a book all morning, and after lunch at noon, he took the children out to run a horse directly, and played until dark before coming back.
In the east courtyard, Ergege was unhappy: "Ama doesn't take me with him." ” Li Wei said: "If you want to run a horse, you can go by yourself, just bring someone." ” Ergege was even more unhappy: "It's not like this at all" Li Wei had no choice but to ignore her.
She understood that Ergege felt that Amma had forgotten her, and that the horses used to take her with her.
Ergege complained for a while, but he didn't see Eniang to coax himself, so he had to lean over and say, "Eniang" Li Wei asked the jade bottle and the nurse to look at the fourth elder brother first, this child is getting more and more skinny now, and he wants to run every day if the road is not good.

She took Ergege to the west side and said, "Erhe, you are a big child, E-Niang usually tells you everything, and now E-Niang also reasoned with you." ” Ergege is not ignorant, she is just a little awkward, and when she saw Eniang telling her seriously, she bowed her head and said, "I know, Ama is the right thing to take them out." ” Li Wei smiled: "That's right.
The eldest brother has been in the mansion for too little, and his roots are still in the mansion.
You, Amma, want their brothers to be well.
There will slowly be more disagreements between me and Fujin.
No matter what Fu Jin's side thinks, I don't want to affect the relationship between your younger brother and the eldest brother. ” Although Ergege understood, she felt that this was a cover-up, she said: "Eniang, but I think this matter will only get worse."
There's a clear intention to suppress you, and then let us all live by looking at her face.
She will never change from now on, if she doesn't do this, she will only become more and more excessive, more and more silent, and the big brother must also be towards her. ” Li Wei suddenly felt that Ergege was like her in the second stage of middle school, but at her age, she had to maintain the relationship with the fourth master and protect the four children.
At least with the main courtyard to tear the face, she can't be the main knife.
She can only drag, not cut the mess quickly.
What was cut off like that was also the fourth master's feelings for her and the East Courtyard.
Therefore, knowing that Fujin has bad intentions.
Honghui may also be influenced by her, and she can only pretend not to know.
And she's not unprepared.
She patted Ergege and comforted her: "Don't worry, I know that Hongyu is measured." ” No matter how good Honghui is to Hongyu, Hongyu can't willingly be a pawn for him.
If there is a day, it can only be forced by the situation, and it is definitely not something that can be brushed out by brushing favorability.
Hongyu is her child, and she knows best how strong his pride and self-esteem are
