Merry Jiwei

I swaggered back with Hu Bugui, and said to Yuan Bao who came up to him, "This man is our newly recruited free guard in Prince Jin's Mansion!"

Yuan Bao was taken aback when he heard this, and asked me in a low voice: "This man looks very hungry, does he have a big appetite?!"

Hu Bugui smiled lightly, and raised a finger. Yuan Bao heaved a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "A bowl of rice is fine, but now that there is a food shortage, a hu of rice is much more expensive than before!"

"One pot of rice is enough!" Hu Bugui added.

"Calm down!" I hastily held up a handful of ingots that were falling back again and again.

Yuan Bao frowned for a while before asking, "Can you cook?"

"It's a good copy of Shandong cuisine!" Hu Bugui made a motion of copying vegetables.

"Will you clean the courtyard?" Yuan Bao asked again.

"Like a wind blowing away!"

Yuan Bao took a deep breath and asked again, "Will you do the laundry?"

Hu Bugui hesitated for a moment, Yuan Bao said indifferently: "Forget it, if you say you can do laundry, you'd be too liar, well, I'll leave you!" He continued happily: "I'm Yuan Bao, the housekeeper here, You will obey me from now on!"

Hu Bugui smiled, shook his fan, Yuan Bao frowned and said: "The wind is so strong, you still shake your fan, you don't have any fever or other hidden illnesses?!"

Hu Bugui put away his fan.

The three of them were talking, when suddenly someone came to report and said, "Master Nineteen, Second Master let you go!"

I was shocked when I heard that, didn't Zhuang Zhongting say that the queen mother had taken away the second brother, why did he come back again.

I led the newly recruited guards to the second brother's room in a hurry, and saw that he was turning the pages of a book in the house at the moment. When he saw me coming in, he raised his head and smiled, and said, "Yuanying has black eyebrows, and has been busy all night. Bar!"

I giggled and said, "Didn't Second Brother go back with Grandma Huang? Why are you still here?"

The second elder brother Yuan Lin smiled lightly and said, "Who dares to guess randomly what the Empress Dowager means!"

He glanced at Hu Bugui behind me, and said, "Who is this person?!"

Hu Bugui didn't wait for my introduction, he stepped forward, bowed to the prince, and said: "I'm under Hu Bugui, I've met the prince!"

The second elder brother lowered his eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "Shiwei, Shiwei, Hu Bugui? Because of Wei Jun, Hu is exposed! Your name should be Shiwei!" (Note: "Book of Songs. Beifeng. Shiwei "It's dark, it's dark, why don't you go home? If it's not for the monarch, why are you still in the dew!)

Second brother dropped the book bag, Hu Bugui seemed shocked, I stuck out my tongue and said, "Second brother's book bag is really powerful, Hu Bugui, is your real name really called Shiwei?"

Hu Bugui was stunned for a while, the second brother was not in a hurry, after a while, Hu Bugui saluted again, and said, "Zi Shiwei has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

This time I was taken aback, I never thought that this person turned out to be Mrs. Zi, my face turned pale for a while, Mrs. Zi has now turned from bright to dark, except for those rooms that belonged to Mrs. Yuan, many of them have become anti-chamber courts people.And I didn't know it, and I introduced him into my family, but my second brother saw through it at a glance.

The second brother just smiled and said, "You can tell me that my surname is Zi, which proves that you are not the one who came here to assassinate me."

Zi Shiwei was convinced, "Your Highness is wise!"

"Assassination?!" I said, "Second Brother, is Master Zi going to assassinate you?"

Zi Shiwei hesitated for a moment and said, "The patriarch of Xizi has just died, and each faction has made a covenant. Whoever... kills the prince will be the new patriarch!"

"You came to kill me, didn't you?"

"Yes!" Hu Bugui replied honestly.

He admitted frankly that I was extremely embarrassed and just wanted to prove that I definitely didn't mean to take advantage of the fire to rob and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but the second brother didn't mean to listen to my explanation.His slender fingers flipped a page of the book, and said calmly, "Is Xizi's patriarch...it depends on whether you want to do it or not!"

Zi Shiwei almost bit his tongue again, the second brother smiled slightly, turned his face and said, "You have the support of today's prince, can't you be the patriarch of Xizi?"

I looked at Zi Shi's stunned look, and I sighed in my heart. I only hoped that he would not be fooled. The elder brother of the prince is even more dishonest than me, the current red prince. The second elder brother is best at getting people to pay the bills on his behalf.If Zi Shiwei agreed to him easily, he would only be on the cusp of life and death with his second brother, and there would be no way out.In my panic and panic, I suddenly touched a teacup next to it, and the cup of tea dangled and fell to the ground, smashing into pieces, and I yelled loudly.

Zi Shiwei didn't look back at all, but the second elder brother took a look at me and looked at me with horror, wondering how many more feet would be added to the bill.

After a while, Zi Shiwei fell to his knees and said calmly, "Zi Shiwei is willing to serve the prince."

"Okay, then take me to meet your clansmen!"

Zi Shiwei was taken aback again, I saw him usually looking very proud, who knew that he was taken aback for a while after seeing my second brother, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his appearance is definitely going to be settled by me Qing's second brother was sold.

"But..." Zi Shiwei hesitated.

The second elder brother raised his long eyebrows and said, "Wait until they come to meet me one by one, why don't I go and meet them!" The first thing my second brother saw him was an authentic handsome scholar with a strong bookish look But there will be a moment when you will suddenly discover his knife-like side, even for a moment, that side will leave a deep impression on you, and you will never forget it.

Zi Shiwei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take your Highness down!"

I had a toothache, and the second brother smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, let's rest today! Let's go to meet guests tonight!"

Zi Shiwei withdrew, the second brother glanced at me, and said indifferently: "You just smashed a 300-year-old official kiln treasure of mine..."

I looked at the blue and white fragments on the ground, and the second brother continued: "Just now when your guard came in, he knocked off the plate of flowers outside. You must know that it is a new product of melan that I have cultivated. Light collection The molan that can be grafted cost me thousands of gold..." Was he talking about the dying potted plant outside... I was puzzled, and my face twitched, I didn't know that I had just returned from the village. Whether the property collected from the Zhongting field can cover this account, the second brother counted it all the way, if we accidentally stepped on the ants on his ground when we came in, he would also count it, he smiled slightly and said: "But ...For the sake of you being busy all night last night, let’s forget about today’s account, let’s not take it as an example!”

I was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Second brother is wise, long live second brother!"

The second brother smiled and said: "Nonsense, how many times have I told you, don't mess around if you have nothing to do, read more!"

I stuck out my tongue and said with a smile, "When I look at the book, one head will become as big as two."

The second brother shook his head, lowered his head and continued to read his book, while I walked out the door with ease.

To be honest, I don't think that the second brother likes to be the prince so much, just like the empress dowager's grandma told Ziji that she wanted to make the second brother the prince, but Ziji had to commit suicide.Zi Ji replied that it didn't matter if her son was a prince or not, and she would never commit suicide for something her son didn't care about.I like this aunt's temper, but it's a pity that she made a mistake. The empress dowager's grandma is like the king of Hades. She wants to make people die at the second watch, and won't keep them until the third watch, so Ziji is still dead.In this regard, the prince and I are very similar, but my impression of my mother is very weak. I was only four or five years old when she died, and when Ziji died, the second brother of the prince was already ten years old. Four or five years old, he must have a deeper impression of my mother than I do, and I don't know if he is luckier or unluckier than me.

The Prince's brother naturally wouldn't let me follow him to watch the excitement. If I wanted to follow him, there was no way for me to follow him.

His qinggong is slightly inferior to mine, but his eyes are far better than mine.

I only know that when he came back, he seemed to be poisoned, and so was Zi Shiwei. I sighed and wondered if Xi Zi was so easy to break through.

After the two recovered from their injuries, their voices became hoarse. The second brother originally had a very clear voice, which is a pity, but I think perfect people are blessed, but Zi Shiwei also lost his voice. It looks like a very down-and-out vagabond there.I originally thought that Zi Shiwei had given up his idea of ​​relying on his second brother to make his fortune since then, but he was so loyal that he really had to go back to Beijing with us.Forget it, the king softened his heart, so he took him in. Since he can cook and clean the yard again, and he doesn't charge wages, I don't suffer no matter what.

As soon as Zi Shiwei entered the king's Jin Palace, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that there was only one study in the palace, which looked like a palace, and there were also carved mahogany tables and chairs in it.On the table are also Xiangyan Baomo, black lacquer carvings of Chang'an, jade paperweights, and the most valuable one is the finely carved white jade double fish washed.It is made of ivory, washed in the shape of a lotus leaf, the edges are curled, and the veins are fully visible. The Pisces Playing Pearl on it is slowly living, and the carving is mellow and worth a thousand gold.

Whenever anyone sees that I wash it with water to make a study, they will probably gasp and suspect that I am as rich as an enemy.

In fact, apart from this room, even this king’s bedroom is ordinary. The veil is ordinary cloth, not whale silk, and the bed is a wooden bed made of ingots. It is ordinary wood, and it is definitely not beautiful mahogany.

I don't have many servants, there are four servants including Yuanbao in the huge palace.

Two of them specialize in serving the flowers, birds, trees, fish and insects in our courtyard, and the other one specializes in cleaning. Yuan Bao is the housekeeper. His job is to check the warehouse. Counting, even if the account is not closed at night, and it is stolen day and night, it will be lost, but Yuan Bao has always been meticulous in his work. He said that he should count it every day, so there is probably a reason for it to be counted.Everyone was overjoyed at the arrival of Zi Shiwei, and since then there was an extra helper, so the work was naturally easier, and it was said that this person was good at cooking Shandong cuisine, and they were all happy.

Ben Wang played with the birds for a while in the morning, and then went out for a walk with the dog for a while. At noon, my eldest brother sent someone to treat me to some flower wine. I smiled lightly and told the visitor that a new Lu cuisine master was hired in the house, and I was eager to try something new. So don't go.

When I got back to the mansion, I ordered meals. There are few people in the mansion, and I don't have so many rules and ostentations. The master and servant eat together.

The five of us waited for a long time in the dining room with chopsticks in our hands, and then we heard someone sing: "The dishes are here..."

Before anyone arrived, the plate arrived first. It was a big dish, one-third the size of a round table. Inside was braised vegetables and radishes sandwiched with some meat. Zi Shi smiled and said, "That's it. Much, rough, reckless enough!"

I flipped through the vegetables, thinking to myself, the vegetables must be washed clean, otherwise adding a few more grasses would not be reckless, and it would be called reckless.

Everyone ate a few chopsticks and said they were delicious, but Yuan Bao was not happy, saying: "How much does it cost to buy such a big plate!"

I knocked on the plate and said: "Come on, come on, can I just eat the pot directly?" Yuan Bao finally gave up, but he still told him not to allow him to count things when buying things in the future. At the end, he added that even if the king promised Neither can.

In the afternoon, I squinted for a while, and the elder brother's second team arrived. This time, many people came and sent me some rare flowers and trees.My elder brother loves to give people exotic flowers and plants, and he himself is a master at planting flowers. This time, he gave a green calyx plum, which bloomed very lushly in the cold winter. When you look up from such a distance, it is full of trees. The jasper star, born like a spring, has sprouted new buds, which is quite innovative.Yuan Bao snorted, and I smiled slightly, he didn't like other people giving these things, he didn't make money, but he had to spend money.

"The eldest prince, let me tell the prince to see if there is anything else that needs to be bought in the mansion, and I will let the little one bring it to you later!"

I sighed, and said: "With such a green calyx plum, you have everything you want, why do you need to spend extra money, you go back and report your brother's affection, those are just a little effort, he doesn't have to take it to heart. "

As soon as he left, Yuan Bao asked in a low voice, "It's such a great deed, so let him give away such a broken tree and it's over?"

I smiled slightly, and sighed: "Brother is also a tree-playing bird player, how much oil and water you can have, you don't want to pluck the feathers, kill anyone you see!"

Yuan Bao snorted twice, seemed rather disapproving, and said straightly: "He is not a good person, I think he behaved as if he was indifferent to the world, and he was probably more anxious than anyone else in his heart, otherwise why would his concubine enter the palace three times a day?" Palace, and even said that he would move into the palace to serve the Empress Dowager.”

After hearing this, I sighed and laughed, "You can see your blessing by saying this!"

Yuan Bao was puzzled, and I said flatly, "If you are in the royal family, if you want to survive, then you must be noble."

I originally thought that I would be able to be quiet for two days after returning to Dadu, but Zhuang Zhongting didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine, so he was uncharacteristically entangled.

At first I was willing to make excuses, evade it, and find an excuse, but then I lost my temper and asked Yuan Bao to bluntly say that I was not there.

After coming here several times, people from the uncle's mansion no longer came to the door. I took a good rest for a few days, and then went out to walk the dog and listen to books.

One day, I led the pearl from the mansion, Biyu, into the teahouse, Xiaoer smiled and said, "My lord, I have reserved a private room for you!"

I nodded, led the dog and stepped into the box, only to find that there was still someone inside, Zhuang Zhongting was on the side of the table, and said with a smile: "Jiwei, you're here too?!"

Nonsense, I said in my heart, knowing that he intends to block me here, but there is nothing I can do about him.

I walked in swaggeringly, in broad daylight, could it be possible that he could do something to me?

"Jiwei, sit down!" Zhuang Zhongting poured me a cup of tea, and I hummed twice. He only used this box temporarily for an hour, but it was specially cleaned and arranged. The floor was covered with a fine woolen carpet. A heater was raised, and a Boshan stove was placed in the corner, which was burning with Suhe incense, which was more princely than a prince.

"Jiwei, I also know that it is a little difficult for you to accept the feelings of men!" Zhuang Zhongting sighed slightly.

I listened, and smiled slightly, men in the Western Xia Dynasty did not fall in love too much, but there were not many, I am not afraid of accepting a man's feelings, it's just that I don't want to accept yours.It's okay for me to think about these words in my heart, and naturally I won't say them to provoke him.

Zhuang Zhongting said: "In fact, people are like this. Some things feel unacceptable, but if you really have to accept it, it will be a matter of course!"

I hummed, kicked Biyu next to my feet, and said, "Biyu, you can round it a little and it will become a pearl!"

Zhuangzhu let out a bark at the side to show dissatisfaction, Zhuang Zhongting didn't seem to hear my words, and just said indifferently: "Jiwei, a man will have a wife, so I can't stay with you all day, I, Zhuang Zhongting, have to marry a princess, but If you can accept this, you will find that Concubine Zhuang is insignificant to you!"

I saw him getting closer and closer while he was talking, and frowned slightly, this prince is very rich, he doesn't look like someone who would commit murder in broad daylight.

Seeing me glance at the people in the teahouse, Zhuang Zhongting said with a smile: "Jiwei don't worry about these people, they are all my people here, not yesterday, and they signed the deed of sale to me this morning. .”

I was shocked, I thought that Zhuang Zhongting had to take care of the strangers in this room, but he was so crazy that he bought all the people in the room, so I couldn't help getting up quickly, and said with a smile: "My lord, Grandma Huang asked me to eat today." Lunch, I won't nag you!"

As soon as I got up, the door slammed shut, Zhuang Zhongting stood up, and said with a slight smile: "I just came out of the palace. The Empress Dowager is offering incense today on the fifteenth day. She has Master Shande to greet her, so what? When you come here, I will wait for you to eat dinner?"

I frowned, thinking that this person is really boring, and going to bed is a matter of enjoyment, so there is no reason to force it.

Although this king claims to be romantic, it would be too embarrassing to be forced to the ground.

I wanted to get rid of him, but his kung fu took the fierce route of a foreigner, and he worked hard on every move, no more opportunistic than me. After a while, the sweat on the top of my head broke out.Pearl Jasper has always been a dog, thinking that she is a dog of the prince's family, so she is arrogant. After a long time, it is inevitable that her eyesight is a little bad. My king is at a disadvantage, and they bark endlessly.The king was so flustered by being called, he was swept to the ground by Zhuang Zhongting's kick, and was pressed up by him as soon as he turned over.Emerald came to save the Lord, and Zhuang Zhongting knocked it away with a single punch. It whimpered and made my heart ache. I was so angry that I raised my knee and gave Zhuang Zhongting a slap in the face.

Zhuang Zhongting's face turned pale from the pain, and his hair looked ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yuanying, I also said that you are uncivilized and don't know how to like people. I didn't expect you to be a good prince and not be a good prince. I like some people." Inferior things!"

I sneered and said: "The inferior people are always better than the inferior ones!" Zhuang Zhongting's face changed when I said this, I must have poked his sore spot, he grabbed my neck and said viciously: " Yuanying, I didn't expect you to look gentle and have such a vicious mouth in normal times! Since you think I'm mean, then I won't be polite."

My coat was torn twice, and my scalp was numb for a while. I knew that nothing would work at this moment, and it would not work to lift Grandma Huang.

The Queen Mother might get angry a little bit, but Uncle Guo is her great arm in the court, how could she really feel sorry for an orphan prince like me.I resisted sullenly, but Zhuang Zhongting probably didn't expect that I was quite strong, and the more angry he slapped me, the slap made my eyes blur, and said: "I tell you, today you will run away no matter what. Don’t let it go, and I’ll make it easier for you if you obey me!”

I smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled my hand and slapped him, gritted my teeth and said, "Who do you think you are, but because you are somewhat related to the royal family, a wild cat with a broom sticking in its ass, you still think you are yourself." I can replace the civet cat with the crown prince!"

If it's a bickering, how can Zhuang Zhongting, who puts on airs and hugs every day, can compare with this king who hangs out with his servants every day. If I don't piss him off today, I, Yuanying, will be with him from now on. surname.Zhuang Zhongting was angry for a while, and suddenly realized that he had been fooled by me. He would no longer compete with me on my strengths, and reached down to pull my pants, and now my face turned green.

The two entangled for a while, and suddenly the two windows flew in, and someone said from the window: "There are many people who rob people's daughters these days, but it is rare to rob princes!" When I heard that hoarse voice, my heart suddenly rose A sense of security, the savior has come.

As soon as the guards in the room moved, the man shouted loudly against the door, saying, "Come and see, someone is here! It's a show!"

Naturally, Zhuang Zhongting couldn't allow people to watch his performance, so he got up quickly, stopped the group of people and gave us a hard look, and said, "Let's go!"

I got up from the ground, and there were actually a few people crawling to see the excitement. The person handed me a fan and said, "Do you want to cover your face?"

I took the fan, picked his chin, and said with a smile: "Hu Bugui, this king has always been open and frank, so why would he be afraid of people looking at him?"

Zi Shi smiled, sighed, and said, "Your lord deserves..."

Ben Wang lowered his head, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay!"

This king was frightened by this, so naturally he rested in the mansion for a while, and even if he went out, he followed the second brother. Zi Shiwei seemed to like me and the second brother quite a lot, so I laughed privately: "Second brother, who is it?" What kind, your heart is like a bright mirror, you don’t have to shake it in front of him every day!” Zishi smiled, waving his fan in the winter.
