Merry Jiwei

Chapter 5

After a few days, my second brother and I mentioned the matter of protecting the king's fame.

The second elder brother played with the bird on his porch, and said calmly: "I think this man is also very average."

I laughed, shook my fan, and said, "It's so normal."

"Since it's mediocre, you're still trying to push me. Is Yuan Bao reluctant to part with those few rice coins?"

I laughed a few times and said, "I'll take care of it for you, how about it?"

The second brother's hand paused, and said: "If that's the case, why not keep it to yourself!"

I spread my hands and said with a smile: "You know that I, King Jin, have nothing to do, so why is he following me?"

The second brother's slender fingers pinched a little millet and added it to the feed, and after a while, he said, "Do you want me to feed it for you?"

Walking through the corridor of the Prince's Mansion, seeing Zi Shiwei waiting for me waving his fan, he said, "Why don't you go back by yourself first?" Zi Shiwei raised his blue chin, smiled and said, "Wait for you to go back together !"

I smiled and said: "I know you are waiting for me, but I don't know, I still think you are reluctant to leave the Prince's Mansion!"

Zi Shi put away his folding fan slightly, and said, "Well, I still like to live in Prince Jin's Mansion, it's comfortable and carefree, and the master is also likable!"

He spoke glibly, and I knew it was a joke as soon as I heard it, but I was inexplicably happy in my heart, and said with a straight face: "If today is still stewed radish with vegetables, then there is no need to live there any longer!"

Zi Shiwei said calmly: "Naturally, today is stewed radish and vegetables!"

I looked at him and smiled, and the two left the Prince's Mansion and went back to the Prince's Mansion together.

The streets of Kyoto are always lively, there are a lot of jugglers coming and going, the two of them have a good interest in playing, and they go shopping along the way to buy a lot of things.I walked side by side with Zi Shiwei on the street, looked around for a while, turned around and saw him looking at me, so I smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"

Zi Shiwei said: "Actually, in terms of appearance, His Royal Highness is as gorgeous as the morning sun like gold foil, and the other is as bright as the moon and as clear as silver beads. In fact, it is hard to tell the difference..." After Zi Shiwei got to know the second brother, he spoke more elegantly, I chuckled, but Zi Shiwei said slowly, "But when it comes to this temperament...then the difference between the two is too far!"

I refused to accept it, and raised my chest and said, "Why is my temperament so bad!"

Zi Shiwei chuckled and said, "He is a king, you are a minister, how can the temperament be the same?"

I said angrily: "Sophistry!"

Zi Shi couldn't help but smile, and said: "Your temperament is not as good as His Highness, but you are much cuter than him!"

Standing on the street where people come and go, I just felt that the winter sun made me sweat all over, and I couldn't speak while standing there. Zi Shiwei had already taken a fancy to the red bean soup next to him, so I said after a long while: "Don't you have your eye on this king?"

Zi Shiwei squirted out the soup, and the red bean soup hung on my face, just covering my red face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zi Shiwei hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe it for me. After wiping for a long time, I said slowly, "If you want to touch me, just tell me the truth, why bother to wipe me with rotten red beans face."

I don't know if it's because my eyes are dazzled, or because I ate too much Zi Shiwei red beans, I think...his face is also red.

The second brother of the crown prince said that he gave Zi Shiwei an errand, but in fact it was an idle job. He was sent to the south of the Yangtze River every now and then to buy some supplies for the mansion, such as silk and satin from various mansions, and the second brother's books.It's a good job to leave other houses aside, but doing this kind of job for the second brother will lose money nine times out of ten.Zi Shiwei had done so many errands, but I was so tired that I put a lot of money in my pockets. Every time I made Yuan Bao unhappy, I changed ways to get some money back from Zi Shiwei.

Zi Shi said to me secretly: "The only one in our mansion who can compete with His Highness the Crown Prince in terms of calculations is Yuan Bao!"

I laughed out loud when I heard this, in fact, Zi Shiwei's business methods are very ordinary, but no matter what kind of person I am, with me as my company, it will be of no avail.The two of us joined hands in Jiangnan, going in and out together, one singing the red face and the other singing the bad face.

The second brother didn't give Zi Shiwei too much money, and it was difficult to get the money from Yuanbao, so we got a small fishing boat and went boating on the river.

Not daring to trouble the fisherman to rock the boat, he asked him cheekily to borrow a net, cast the net to catch fish at the same time as Zi Shiwei was rafting, and when the tea was almost drunk, he collected the net, and Zi Shiwei killed the fish at the bow of the boat. I lighted the stove flowers at the stern, and then the two of them ate fish around the stove flowers with wine.

Zi Shiwei shouted loudly when he was eating: "One of the great pleasures in life is to go boating on the river with Yuanying to catch fish and eat pots!"

I raised three fingers and said, "Three stakes!"

Zi Shi slightly raised Yang Ying's eyebrows, and said, "What three stakes!"

I smiled slightly and said: "It should be three pleasures, one is to go boating on the river, the other is to catch fish and eat pots... and the third is to be with Yuanying!"

Zi Shiwei listened, and said with a smile: "Being with Yuanying is indeed a lot of fun!"

Came back from Jiangnan and hurried back to the Prince’s Mansion, where the second brother was flipping through the book, glanced at me and said, "Is Jiangnan not bad?"

I smiled and said, "That's pretty good, second brother!"

The second brother flipped another page of the book, and said calmly: "Then let's go to Jiangnan!"

I let out a sigh of joy, hurried out and met Zi Shiwei and said: "Hu Bugui, His Highness said that he forgot to buy something, and asked you to go to the south of the Yangtze River again!"

Zi Shiwei listened, smiled slightly, and said: "Is it Jiangnan again, anyway, His Highness wants to do something to go to Saibei, so it won't take longer!"

I couldn't help but blushed a little when I heard this, and Zi Shiwei seemed to realize that there was a slip of the tongue in one knot, and a little embarrassment in both.

If they stayed like this any longer, both of them felt a little awkward. The king suggested riding a horse in the suburbs, and Zi Shiwei readily agreed.

The two went back to the mansion and took two fast horses and left the city. The horses are naturally good horses, not only good horses, but also saddles.In the winter, there is naturally no green to walk on, and the suburbs are inaccessible. The two of them ran around on the bare land, which was a little embarrassing relatively.

With a slight clatter, Zi Shi opened the folding fan and said, "Good scene!"

I smiled and said, "Cool!"

Zi Shiwei smiled slightly: "You can't be more neat!"

The king immediately changed his words and said, "Wonderful man!"

Zi Shi laughed loudly, and said, "It's not an exaggeration for Miao Ren to describe you as King Jin!"

After the two of them finished speaking, a team of cavalry came over. Even a fool could see that there was something wrong with the black horses in broad daylight.

Purple Shiki said in a small voice: "Are you passing by?!"

I take it very seriously. In all honesty, it is barely reasonable for the two of us to recruit a few petty thieves, but it is ridiculous to recruit such a large number of horse thieves.However, things did not work out as expected, the group of horse thieves seemed to come straight to me and Zi Shiwei, they surrounded us, and the head of the horse thieves whispered: "Lord Jin, there is nothing wrong with you! We don't want to hurt you anymore Your precious body, get out of the way!"

Suddenly, I thought to myself that Zi Shiwei's enemies are not only numerous, but also of good rank, so I smiled slightly and said: "Hu Bugui is now my king's man. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner's face to beat a dog... ..." When I said this, Zi Shiwei coughed twice, and the king said calmly: "What's more, you want to hit my guard?!"

The horse thief didn't bother me too much, and said: "Then offended the prince, if you can't get him, please forgive me, we won't make things difficult for you!"

I snorted coldly, this king doesn't like to be aggressive, but he is definitely not afraid of being aggressive... Hiss, these horse thieves are so powerful.I frowned, and said to Zi Shiwei next to me: "The wind is tight... nonsense!"

Zi Shiwei's fan fluttered up and down, and he heard the words: "Nonsense... What are you talking about me, afraid that I won't die fast enough?!"

I was dumbfounded, had this person been in the rivers and lakes?

Those horse thieves came so fiercely that I couldn't resist, but Zi Shiwei had two wounds on his body in a moment, I couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, and said angrily: "Who are you guys, tell me your name!"

The horse thief didn't make a sound, but the sword never came towards me. My heart skipped a beat and I hummed, "You are the dealer's guards, aren't you?!"

As expected, the horse thieves stopped for a while, but still remained silent, I said coldly: "You are also eating the royal food, think about the consequences of hurting me, a relative of the emperor, and don't leave any troubles for your nine clans! "

Sure enough, those people slowed down even more, and I and Zi Shiwei ran wildly, and the guards of the dealer were obviously afraid of being punished by the master, so they chased after them desperately, and the arrow feathers whizzed past their ears. In the end, although he finally got rid of the guards, he was still covered in sweat.I patted the horse under my crotch, thinking that Yuan Bao's money is always spent on the blade.

Of course, Jiangnan couldn't go, and the second brother heard that someone was going to assassinate Zi Shiwei, so he just said lightly: "Then you have to run farther away!" "

I listened with a soft snort, Jin Wang Yuanying always loves Mingzhe and protects himself, but he is not a person who watches fire from the other side. I patted Zi Shiwei on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I, Yuanying, am here!"

Zi Shiwei gave me a strange look, opened the folding fan with a clatter, shook it and said, "Then don't forget about it when you turn around and don't see a fortune!"

"Nonsense!" I said angrily, "Is this king such an irresponsible person?"

Having said that, and I also know that it is so easy to end, Zi Shiwei ran into three people who came to assassinate him within a month, which made my Jin Palace full of soldiers, and even Zi Shiwei squatted in a hut and had to be guarded by the king. Wang had a headache.

The empress dowager's grandma invited her to the Shangyuan banquet. The second elder brother of the prince was sent out by the emperor to handle business. He was not in the capital. Except for him, almost all the relatives and relatives of the royal family were present. Zhuang Zhongting was wearing a blue gold-embellished dress The brocade robes seemed to have a bit of royal aura, he hesitated for a moment when he saw it, and then walked towards me, before I could speak, I sneered and said, "Master Zhuang, don't It's too deceiving!"

I'm usually very kind, but if you insist on making me feel bad, I won't make it easy for you.

Seeing my tough attitude, Zhuang Zhongting couldn't help but turn pale again, but he didn't dare to speak as loudly as I did for the Empress Dowager's face, so he could only bear it.

The Empress Dowager's grandmother turned her face and said with a smile: "Yo, little monkey has a bad temper today, who offended you!"

I snorted next to the queen mother's grandmother and said, "Someone is bullying my grandson, can you help me, old man?!"

The empress dowager's grandma laughed and said, "Who accidentally stabbed your hornet's nest again?!"

Zhuang Zhongting hurriedly said: "Report to the Queen Mother, it was the minister who accidentally offended Prince Jin!"

The Empress Dowager smiled, then turned to me and said, "Zhong Ting is very sensible, it must be you little monkey who first ran to bully others!"

I refused to accept it and said, "This Zhuang Zhongting falsely accused me of misunderstood the words of the saints!"

The Empress Dowager laughed, and said: "I don't need to listen, I know he must not have falsely accused you. How long have you patiently read a few sage books, you little monkey, and dare to explain the sage's words!"

I said confidently: "I will never interpret that sage's words wrong!"

"Oh... let's hear it!"

I straightened my chest and said: "I said that the sage has a cloud, people follow the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. (Note: "Tao Te Ching") is a person who follows the destiny of heaven, knows the principles of heaven, and knows wealth and honor. In heaven, one needs to live in peace, this is the general outline of heaven as Tao!"

The Empress Dowager nodded after hearing this, and said: "These sentences are very correct!"

I pointed at Zhuang Zhongting and said: "This Zhuang Zhongting said that I have little talent and learning, and said that wealth and honor are what people want!" Serve the king's ambition? He also said that the examination questions of the tribute students in the current department should be sent from the emperor with ritual and music (Note: "The Analects"). According to his interpretation, the emperor has the final say on everything. God, and these loyal ministers are all here to pursue wealth?!"

Zhuang Zhongting did mention that the examination questions of Chunwei tribute students used the Analects of Confucius as the examination questions. This was originally used to flatter, and the queen mother did not say anything wrong.But if I understand it like this today, the emperor is bigger than the sky, and naturally he is bigger than the queen mother who has the final say in everything.I flipped through the books at home for a few days fiercely for these few words, Zi Shi smiled knowingly, and mentioned a few words.When I threw these few words away like this, the empress dowager's grandma's long eyebrows really couldn't help trembling. Zhuang Zhongting said to me all these miscellaneous, three sentences were true and two were false, he couldn't argue for a while, seeing the empress dowager's face Well, he quickly said: "I've thought about it when I went back, I think it's my fault..."

The queen mother took a deep breath, smiled and said: "After listening to your messy uproar, the Ai family doesn't know what to say... Forget it, the emperor is doing justice for the sky, whether it's respecting the sky or respecting the son of heaven , Knowing the honor... that's not too far away!"

I saw that Zhuang Zhongting was obviously suppressing his breath, and I was very happy. When I saw his gaze, I raised my eyebrows and raised my eyebrows.

The queen mother turned her face away with a smile and said: "The little monkey has learned a lot, did you hire a good teacher?"

I stuck out my tongue and said, "I have lived with the queen mother for a long time, and I have learned even if I have no knowledge!"

The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "Aijia is just reading a few pages of the Tao Te Ching every day. It's about learning. You should ask your elder brother who is well-read."

When I heard that the fire burned around and even reached my own eyebrows, I quickly lay on her knees and swayed: "Grandma Queen Mother, are you going to drive me to the side of the prince's brother? He is not as good as you!" Good patience, eight out of ten sentences are training grandchildren!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "You little monkey, your eyes are as easy to manipulate as your mouth, so you will be successful!" She stood up and said, "Forget it, let's all be seated, and don't miss the Lantern Festival in the palace!"

The Queen Mother's banquets are all vegetarian-based. No matter how fresh the mallow vegetables are, I don't have much interest in eating them day and night. Fortunately, there is a kind of pancake at the banquet, which contains some meat and raw vegetables. It tastes very delicious. After eating a few yuan and telling a few jokes, it was considered that the empress dowager, the Lafayette, was in a good mood.As soon as the banquet was over, several people enjoyed the lanterns in the palace.

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, many such lanterns are arranged in the palace. The lanterns in the palace are naturally beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the palace lanterns are, they are less interesting. I hurriedly accompanied the queen mother, and then I found an excuse to go out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns of the people outside the palace.The people's lanterns are both elegant and vulgar. The phoenix is ​​paired with pheasants, which are rich and varied. In addition, there are snacks and jugglers on the side, which are more than a hundred times more exciting than those in the palace.

Today is of course a festival for small vendors, many people are shouting for business, Ben Wang felt at ease, and said: "No need to shout, give everything to Ben... give me a piece of everything, young master!"

I was playing vigorously, when someone lazily said from behind: "This guest officer, would you like a piece!"

When I heard that rustling voice, I felt agitated, and when I looked back, I almost dropped a bunch of gadgets in my arms.

Behind me was a tall, tall woman with a bun in a fairy bun and a mask of a little phoenix fairy on her face. I laughed and said, "It's free."

I held him on my arm, swaggered through the market, and said with a smile, "If you dress up like this, others won't kill you?"

Zi Shi lifted up his mask slightly, and said with a frowning face, "If they still come after me, then I have no way out!"

The king laughed loudly, and said in one breath: "Don't worry, with this king here, no one can do anything to you!"

A few months later, the Prince Jin's mansion caught fire. Yuan Bao had a fever for some reason, so instead of going to put out the fire first, he carried a bucket of water and drenched the king, and now poured out the fire of the king. Sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, she cursed Zhuang Zhongting.

Zi Shiwei sighed and shook his fan again and again, and said implicitly: "Is there any better way for Prince Jin!"

I said angrily: "What this king has is a solution!"

Yuan Bao put his hands on his hips and said, "Hurry up and get rid of this money-loser, the Prince Jin's mansion is already poor enough, how can it stand other people's burning day and night!"

Zi Shiwei said embarrassingly: "This guard must be talented and good-looking. Although it is not priceless, it is also very precious. How can you say that this guard is a loser?!"

Yuan Bao said unhappily: "But all the valuable things in the prince's mansion are sent to the prince's mansion. If you are so valuable, you can send it to the prince's mansion!"

When Zi Shiwei heard this, he didn't say a word, he just shook the fan up and down, the king only smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "The people who are sent to the prince's mansion are all attendants...and attend and read, do you agree or not?" I want to return!"

Zi Shiwei was taken aback, frowning and shaking his fan, he said repeatedly: "This guard only reads and does not serve!"

I listened and laughed.

When I got up early in the morning, I got up and told Yuan Bao to study ink and lay paper. It is a very important thing for me to turn over a book with a pen in a small pen. Come.Then, together with the people in the palace, they all lay on the window sill and watched the king swiping.

I took two deep breaths, picked up a pen and wrote a couplet, Zi Shiwei came over to take a look, and saw that the couplet said: "burn burn burn villain in spring, burn villain in winter, can't burn the house A piece of green grass, stealing, stealing, day stealing bad luck, night stealing bad luck, can't steal all my heart!" Zi Shihui almost stumbled and fell off the window sill when he saw this.

I waved my hand and said, "Come on, stick it on the gate for me!"

Zi Shiwei waved his hands in fright, and said, "Wait, I'll change it!"

Ben Wang frowned and said, "Isn't that neat enough?"

Zi Shiwei sweated profusely: "Neat and neat! I only changed one word."

He picked up the pen and changed it a little bit, and I went over to have a look, and saw that the couplet had been changed into: Burning Burning, Spring Burning Villain, Winter Burning Villain, Can’t Burn a Green Grass in the House, Thief Thief Thief, Daily Pirate It's bad luck to steal at night, and it's not enough to steal a single piece of Wang Chunhui! "

Ben Wang looked at it and smiled slightly, and ordered Yuan Bao to post it.

Sure enough, this king's couplets are better than Zhong Kui's, and the palace is peaceful again.

After a few months, my second brother and I came back from hunting one day. For some reason, my second brother seemed to suddenly become interested, and went to the backyard to say a few words to some newly trained guards.Although the eyes of the second elder brother always looked foggy, I could tell at a glance that he was looking at a boy hiding in a corner.I believe that there are some people you can see into your heart at a glance, such as the second brother looking at the boy at this time.

That boy was about two years younger than me, he was very handsome, and he seemed to have a good temper. I wondered why my second brother, who never looked at others, was staring at this person, so I couldn't help but look at him more. The boy has two eyes.

The second brother asked the group of teenagers indifferently: "Do you still like this place?" His voice was a little hoarse, but I think this voice is more suitable for his temperament than the clear and bright voice before. I have a sense of desolation, revealing a very faint loneliness.

The young man replied flatly: "Yes..." He answered very flatly, and he seemed to have a balanced attitude, very mediocre, like a fool, I couldn't help smiling, thinking that this young man also knows what it means to be wise and protect one's life.

The second elder brother glanced at the other boy and said, "Why don't you answer?"

The young man looked handsome, with bright eyes, and said: "Your Highness, Ziyu didn't answer just now because Ziyu didn't take into account his personal feelings, as a person of His Highness, everything should be happy with His Highness, and worried about His Highness. "

I screamed in my heart, my second brother doesn't like others to be opportunistic, and this king is a special case. The boy in the corner.

"You spoke in a very flat voice just now, are you perfunctory me?"

I smiled, the second brother's question is not easy to answer, admitting to this crime is not a small thing, too flattering will end badly in the future, I am very curious how the boy will answer.The young man seemed to know that this question was not easy to answer, and stood there with his head bowed, so anxious that the eunuch next to him shouted in a low voice: "Luo Chuanxun, Your Highness is asking you something!" He just raised his head and glanced at his second brother , hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Ah Xun is willing to stay here for His Highness."

I smiled slightly, without looking at my second brother, I knew that this answer touched him very much. In this deep palace waiting door, there is nothing more precious to us than company.The second brother looked at him for a while before turning around and leaving. I sighed, but I heard someone behind me ask: "Brother guard, I have a question for you."

I turned my head and saw that it was Luo Chuan, who was so tempting to the second brother, who came up to strike up a conversation, so I smiled and said, "Ask. "

"Which trip will we do in the mansion in the shortest time in the future? "

I was stunned for a moment, my eyes widened, and I said, "Which line is the shortest?"

"I've heard people say that if you become a bodyguard, if you pass thirty, His Highness will send you out to serve. But it seems that it will take nearly 20 years. If you become a servant, how many years will it take to leave?"

I looked at Luo Chuan seriously for a long time before I said, "Didn't you just say that you were willing to stay here for His Highness."

Luo Chuanxun's face seemed to turn slightly red, his eyes turned to one side, and he said, "To be honest, isn't Your Highness going to feel bad?"

I almost had the urge to laugh out loud, so I looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "Being His Highness's male favourite, it's the fastest way, maybe a month or two." That's not bad, you know two Brother is notoriously ruthless, he has a street to release people who have lost interest, and that street is called Xiushui Street.It's just embarrassing for those nobles, who are still racking their brains to find someone who can make the second brother fall in love, but it just adds a few more yards to Xiushui Street for no reason.

"Male...male favorite?" Luo Chuanxun was taken aback. It seems that my second brother's penchant for cutting off sleeves surprised him. In fact, my second brother is not particularly fond of it, but he is someone else. However, he just accepted it with a smile.

I was teasing him, when the eunuch next to him seemed to have discovered our conversation, and hurried over and said, "A Xun, you, what nonsense are you talking about with His Highness the Nineteenth Prince?"

Luo Chuanxun was taken aback, I winked at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't tell my second brother, you're duplicity."

I won't tell the second brother, the second brother has always been the only one who suffers, I want to see what kind of expression he has when he suffers.

Luo Chuanxun hurriedly lowered his head, the eunuch smiled and accompanied me, I yawned, it would be too boring if everyone was like this eunuch, when they went down, I was still looking at Luo Chuanxun's back, I I have a hunch that this person will have a very important relationship with me and my second brother in the future.
