[Red Mansions] The prince is polite

The third elder brother wiped the sweat from his forehead, stood up slowly with his knees propped up, and shook again. Soon after, Dada came to help him, nodded to everyone, and was the first to walk out unsteadily hall.Smelling the breath of life outside, he sighed,

"It's really not easy to escape a catastrophe... The family banquet, it seems that the few people who are absent except Xiao Liu are used to it, and the others are probably panicked."

Fourth master supported Xiao Liu to stabilize, and then stood up with downcast eyes. As soon as he staggered, Xiao Liu held his arm and stabilized him.

Xiao Shisan couldn't get up for a while, so he rubbed his painful and numb legs on the ground, waiting to recover. Seeing this, Xiao Liu pursed his lips and pulled him up, half supporting and half hugging.

With the help of Jian Da, the three of them left the hall together.

The eighth elder brother who came after him, still maintained his demeanor, stood up with brows brows breezy, approached Xiaoliu, and said in a low voice,

"Sixth brother, compared to me, you still like Xiao Shisan better, but if you are bored these two years, you can come to my house for a cup of tea at will, unlike fourth brother, you not only have to avoid suspicion, but also want Let the fourth brother give birth to an heir quickly."

Xiao Liu turned his head to stare at the eighth brother, and pressed Xiao Shisan, who had rounded his eyes with an angry face.There is also a faint fire beating in the eyes, and after a while, he finally laughs out loud,

"Then you really have to come to ask for a cup of tea, or I'm sorry for your kindness. It's just that the older you are now, the more I can't understand it. Is it because you don't need to rely on my strength?

Although the people who work for me are called by your fourth brother, I am still your brother.And the fourth brother is also your brother, so you can't discuss the private affairs of the elders, don't you understand?Otherwise, I will report to Huang Ama, and ask you to learn together?Fourth brother, do you think so? "

The eighth elder brother choked, smiled again, turned around to help Shisi who almost fell down the steps because of running too fast, and Shisi was really sad this time, tears rolling down uncontrollably, His lips parted and opened again, and he asked hoarsely,

"Sixth brother, I'm going to be grounded, do you have something to say to me?"

Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Shisi, really didn't know what to say, Xiao Shisan snorted coldly, "I'm so thick-skinned, I have the nerve to ask, I'm really thanks to you."

On the other hand, the eighth elder brother stared at Xiao Shisan with flickering eyes, and suddenly laughed, "I can't tell, so you know it too, but it's just that it's better to avoid such rebellious things."

Xiao Shisan rubbed his knees, and his numb calf, with a mocking tone, said unceremoniously:

"Brother, this is wrong. If the fourteenth brother disobeys, you won't get any favors. After all, isn't it you who walks closest to him? From the court ladies who are familiar with you to the concubine, right? Even Huang Ama knows about it."

Xiao Liu exhaled, and said in a low voice, "Little Shisan!" He patted his forehead with a headache, then bent down to straighten Xiao Shishi's crooked hat earlier, and said slowly:

"I wanted to talk to you slowly, but I don't know where you heard those bastard words, but you actually yelled in the hall, hitting you would be light.

You know, Sixth Brother cannot be a daughter-in-law. Your daughter-in-law will definitely be able to give birth to you in the future, take care of everything about you, and let you live a comfortable and comfortable life.

And the sixth brother will marry such a person, and all our princes will live like this. "

After speaking, he glanced at the fourth brother, and wanted to reach out to hold the hand of the fourth brother, but he shrank again, and said to Shi Mo who had been waiting outside, "Let's go back."

Fourth master flicked his fingers slightly, lowered his eyes and clenched his fist, pulled Xiao Shisan, turned his gaze to Xiao Shisi, but he turned his face away, and put out the idea of ​​sending him back, and walked step by step towards Elder Brother's place go.

It has been more than half a year since the farce caused by the little fourteenth, and the little six nests are reading books, copying posts, practicing calligraphy, and painting every day in Zhuijin Pavilion.He has never been out of Rong Mansion, at most he just strolls around the garden, and being invited to attend several banquets in Rong Mansion is considered the most lively thing.But Miss Lin's Zhuangzi outside is not going, it's like a small world, no longer paying attention to the outside world, and not being influenced by the outside world.

This kind of attitude of living life like a floating life made the surrounding servants see it in their eyes and worry in their hearts, fearing that he would feel wronged, but they kept holding back and took care of him more meticulously.

Fortunately, although the fourth master seemed to stop asking about the young master's affairs, he always asked Xue Pan and Mr. Xue to quietly send some interesting things in for fun.But now it is scorching summer, even the birds hanging on the porch are wilting, and Xiao Liu is even less interested.

After seeing off the tutor, Xiao Liu wore only a duck-egg-colored embroidered silk jacket and a pair of willow-colored silk trousers, lying lazily on a spring stool made of bamboo and rattan in the porch, teasing with a piece of grass stalk. A fat white rabbit with a round belly that is still gnawing on vegetable leaves.

Suddenly said, "It's so stupid, besides eating and sleeping, oh, and adding hair after waking up."

After a pause, he poked the rabbit's ear again, but was shaken away by the ear. Xiao Liu didn't care, and continued:

"You are so fat, how about eating you? It's a pity that the fur is not good, otherwise it can also be used as socks"

Taiji, who was squatting not far away and fanning the ice basin in shock, almost sat down, knowing that Master Liu was asking himself.With trembling fingers, he hurriedly summoned a little Ada, and after a few quiet instructions, he turned his gaze back when he saw the little Ada running fast, and asked hesitantly, "Why don't you send him to the In the kitchen, make a diced tangerine peel rabbit, which is very crispy and soft, and appetizing."

Xiao Liu took out a lacquer folding fan, tapped on the back of his neck, which was a little sore after lying down for a long time, and then lay down again, with a muffled voice, "'Fourth brother' won't even look at it, why should I eat it, I am eating it I stayed here for noon, and this guy actually stayed there and didn't move his nest, a child can't be taught."

Taiji hurriedly took him down, and asked someone to fetch the sour plum soup that had just been chilled. After thinking about it for a while, he only filled a small half bowl and handed it over.I thought Liu Ye would clamor for another bowl, but after drinking it without saying a word, he went back softly.

The entire corridor is blocked with bamboo mats that have been impregnated with ice water, leaving only a few air vents that cannot be exposed to the sun, and the vegetation that absorbs the heat has been transplanted outside. Although it is not as good as in the Summer Resort, it is still green , the blue waves are turning, and the bamboo and elegant steps are cool.

Xiaoliu was drowsy, feeling that the cool wind that had been blowing him suddenly disappeared, he moved his ankle uncomfortably, let his bare foot touch the ground, rubbed it comfortably, and continued go to sleep.

The fourth master, who was wearing court clothes and a coat over his jacket, held tightly the emerald jade beads that made a sound, and walked all the way. After seeing the person sleeping on the corridor from a distance, he took off his boots and walked lightly, facing the stage that was also trotting over. Ji, asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, what's wrong?"

Taiji raised his eyes and lowered his eyes, and caught a glimpse of Fourth Master's wet face, and his court clothes were also wet and wrinkled. He took a few steps back, first handed over a wet towel, and looked at Fourth Master who had finished wiping his sweat, his complexion relaxed, and his eyebrows and eyes were also loosened. He stopped being fierce, and then changed hands and handed over the hand towel that was placed in the ice basin.And repeated Liu Ye's evaluation of the rabbit.

Fourth Master put the cold handkerchief on his cheek, walked lightly towards Xiaoliu, squinted his eyes to see the sleeping expression, and felt at ease.He looked again at the sticky and uncomfortable court clothes that were sticking to his body, and while undoing them, he said in a steady voice,

"Huang Ama said one thing, even if he couldn't go to escape the summer together, he was complaining and wronged, but he couldn't say it, he was holding back. It's also my fault that I haven't come to see him, but Huang Ama's people have been staring at him. If it weren't for Xiao Shisan making trouble outside, it would be difficult to come in.

But in the past six months, things have been arranged almost.Grandpa picked him up the night before his wedding. As for the person who replaced Liu Ye, you don't have to worry about it. He has been taken care of properly. Except for you, most people can't see it. "

Taiji took the court clothes from the fourth master and handed them over. The color is so dark that nothing can be seen, but when you touch it with your hands, you can feel a lot of fine yarn, as if it has been stained with the fine sand on the wall of the east courtyard specially set aside to grow Zhilan.

I looked at it suspiciously for a few more times. Not only was it damp, but the hem and cuffs were already stained. The waist of the gauze coat was still a little wrinkled. of normal clothes.

His head was suddenly blurred, and a voice of extreme surprise popped out uncontrollably, "My fourth master, did you climb in through the wall?"
