Chapter 180: The Fire Rises

Everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high, and soon the backyard, which was still messy, was quiet, leaving only the iron tower and another guard to guard the fire in the stove, and the others returned to their respective posts, or dutifully guarded the small courtyard to protect the safety of Kangxi Ye and the three princes, or began to bathe and change clothes in the east and west wings.

Kangxi Ye also started his washing in the inner room, I have to say that he has been pampered for many years, and the dust and dust of these days have made the old man very uncomfortable.

The prince, the fourth master, and the thirteenth master were washing together in the inner room on the east side, and the sound of the brothers talking and laughing could be transmitted into Kangxi's room from time to time.

"Jiugong, do you think they are much better than before!" Kangxi Ye asked in a deep voice with half-squinted eyes.

Liang Jiugong was shorter, hesitated in his heart for a moment, and responded sharply, "Although several elder brothers are not from the same mother, they are all brothers in the end, although there are some small frictions on weekdays, but they are all worried about each other, and the natural relationship is good!"

"What you said is not honest...... Kangxiye turned his head with a smile and said.

Liang Jiugong's heart sudden, but he still reluctantly continued the movements in his hands, but the slightly trembling hand revealed the uneasiness in Liang Jiugong's heart.

"You have followed me since you were a child, to say something ambiguous, when you accompanied me, there were more than those concubines, in my heart, you are also someone close to me, but you have become more and more cautious over the years, it can also be said that you are more and more good at telling lies!" Kangxi Ye looked a little more in his eyes. Said softly.

"The slave doesn't dare, it's just that the emperor's dragon is ...... a heavy day," Liang Jiugong said with some apprehension.

Kangxi Ye sighed deeply, looked at the sky that was still a little bright outside, and muttered: "It is said that the heavenly family is rich and good, but who knows the hardships in such people's homes, why don't I want to get close to my brothers, but look at what those brothers have been taught by their own daughters." It's as if a mouse saw a cat. It's pretty much it.

If it weren't for the rules of the ancestors, let these elder brothers and geges move to live in the elder brother and the princess at the age of six, I am afraid that they would be even more immature.

all these years. They all said that I doted on the second child, but only the second child made me feel that I was an Amma, not the emperor!"

Liang Jiugong couldn't stop talking in his heart, but the movements in his hands were not slow. wiped Kangxi's back, which was already a little slack, and put a hot handkerchief on Kangxiye's shoulder. So he got up and went to get clean clothes.

It's not that Kangxi doesn't trust others to serve, it's just that when he came out this time, he was worried about causing trouble to the magistrates along the way, so he tried to reduce the number of people around him. only brought Liang Jiugong, a 10,000-year-old follower, to serve, and the same was true for the prince and others.

After a long while, Kangxi felt that the water temperature was a little cold. Only then did he call Liang Jiugong.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly came to the inner room with the hot robe in his hand, and waited for Kangxi to change into clean clothes. He placed Kangxi Ye on the kang by the window, and then called the guards who were guarding outside to clean up the things in the inner room.

In the end, he was old, and Kangxi Ye was not reckless, but he just explained Liang Jiugong's two sentences, and then hugged the dry quilt and fell asleep, in which he seemed to feel the gentle palm of his mother brushing his forehead.

....................................

On the other side, Liang Jiugong watched the guards doing things lightly, and then saw that Kangxi Ye was already asleep, so he walked to the next room and said softly: "Slave Liang Jiugong asks to see the prince, the fourth master, and the thirteenth master." ”

"Come in!" said Ah Bao, the great eunuch beside the prince, in a loud voice.

Liang Jiugong walked into the door with a short body, saw that the three princes were still soaking in the bathtub, hurriedly lowered his head, and said softly: "The slave greets the three masters!"

"Let's get up!" the prince sat in the bathtub, raised his hand with a smile, and said with a little laziness in his voice, "Father-in-law Liang will come over here, but what does Huang Ama command?"

"Prince Xie, the emperor felt that his body was a little tired, so he wanted to rest, and he was worried that he was hungry for the three masters, so he specially asked the servants to come over and say a mouthful, so that the three masters could eat and drink by themselves after a while, and there was no need to wait for the emperor!" Liang Jiugong blessed his body and said in a low voice.

The prince nodded slightly, "Okay, we know about this!"

Liang Jiugong was short at this time, and after saying goodbye, he withdrew from the room where the prince and the fourth and thirteenth masters were located, and returned to Kangxi's side, I don't know if it was because the room was too warm, or because he was tired these days, he actually shrank on the edge of the kang and fell asleep.

Besides, the fourth master and the others in the other room, watched Liang Jiugong leave, glanced at each other, whispered a few words, and got up from the bathtub one after another.

The prince put on his robe, turned around and said, "This time thanks to the thoughtfulness of the Urals, otherwise we are afraid that this disgrace will be thrown in front of everyone, look at this black water, it is really ......"

"Hahaha, second brother, you are really stupid, don't talk about our appearance, I'm afraid it's not much better than Huang Ama's head, those ministers who like to pat on the back will never write this in the file!"

"This time, I also think what Lao Thirteen said makes sense!" The fourth master also sat casually on the edge of the kang, sipping tea and saying with a smile.

The prince paid more attention to the image than the two, and asked Ah Bao to tie his braids, and then sat down, sat on the kang against the wall, sat opposite the fourth master and the thirteenth master, smiled and pointed to the two younger brothers who were both draped in hair drying, and said helplessly: "You two are really talking more and more marginal, even the strictest sΓΉ has learned to watch jokes, and it is really close to Zhu and red and close to ink and black!"

"Second brother, we are out now, don't pay attention to those fake tricks, I am most impatient with the rules that the grandmothers say every day, the way the girls chirp, it is not too troublesome, if I want to say that it is better for me to drink tea in a big bowl, drink wine in a big bowl, and eat meat in a big bowl. It's like this, even the ordinary coarse tea is a little sweet!" Lao Thirteen took the hem of his robe, stepped on the edge of the kang even more, took the black glazed porcelain bowl placed next to it, carried the pot-bellied teapot and poured a full bowl, looked at the purple sand tea bowl in the fourth master's hand with disdain, and drank it all in one gulp. Sprinkled the placket of the garment. He also said proudly.

The prince looked helplessly at the fourth master who was despised, and looked at the sky speechlessly, "If you let your master see this virtue now." I'm afraid that I can get angry and go away, and I guess I can go to Huang Amana for two or three days!"

"That old master always shakes his head and reads something we don't understand, but it's not as interesting as those beautiful military books and marching experiences!" On the contrary, the first-hand poetry is quite good, and even Kangxi Ye has praised it a few times!

The fourth master frowned. He said in a low voice: "Old Thirteen, it's either that I like to preach all day long, or you don't like what the master taught, and you shouldn't say that about your master." You must know that the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher, even if you can't do what the Han people say, 'a teacher for one day, a father for life'. You should also respect the master!"

The prince sitting next to him nodded repeatedly, "I agree with this." Master, master, that's what you should respect!"

"Okay, well, I won't tease him in the future!" The old thirteen was most convinced of the elder brothers, the prince, the king of Zhijun, and the fourth beyler, and now that the two elder brothers said so, they also made a quick surrender and said with a smile.

"You kid Ah ......" In fact, the age difference between the prince, the fourth master and the old thirteen is a lot, and I really don't understand the thoughts of these children on weekdays.

The old thirteen put down his hand with a sad face, rubbed his belly, which was already a little drummed, got up and walked out, and changed the topic and said: "It's not too early at this time, it's time for us to eat something, and I don't know what those rough men have prepared to eat!"

"Don't say it, I don't think it's really a little drooling at this time, and I don't have high requirements, as long as there is that fragrant and hot mutton soup!" The fourth master also put down the shelf, rubbed his stomach and got up, and said while walking out.

Su Peisheng stood at the door and saw several masters come out one after another, and hurriedly greeted him, "The prince, the thirteenth master, the master, you are ......?"

"You feel a little hungry, but you're ready!" said the prince.

Su Peisheng was busy shortening, and talked about the dishes prepared later, speaking of dishes, in fact, they are all simple things, such as the mutton soup that the fourth master made the day before yesterday, as well as the best roast lamb, and also stewed a chicken stewed mushrooms, sauerkraut fried noodles or something, all of which are things that the gentlemen don't look down on on weekdays

"Spicy, salty, and sour are all available, it sounds appetizing, let them send it quickly!" The prince definitely didn't say that he was already a little drooling, this was really a little hungry, he coughed in a busy way, and commanded softly, before speaking, he didn't forget to look to the west, for fear of alarming Kangxi, who was resting.

Su Peisheng ran back as soon as he was short, dragged away the guards who were in a daze, took some of the serious big pot dishes, and put the slightly potted rice in the porcelain basin, and walked to the room with a clear soup pot with mutton slices.

The hot meal was placed on the kang table, the kang table of this family is different from the small kang table on the house of several masters, this is a serious kang dining table, about one meter and two long and wide, several large porcelain bowls for vegetables are placed on the table, and there is some surplus place.

"This is really a local custom!" said the prince, holding the large bowl the size of a child's head, and said with a smile.

The thirteenth man had already put a chopstick and chicken leg into his mouth, and responded a little vaguely, "Second brother, you look at eating with such utensils, how much you feel, compared to those small bowls and plates in the house, it's much better!"

"Rice bucket!" The fourth master made a closing remark next to him, and picked up another chicken leg in his hand dissatisfied, and he didn't look at the stunned prince, and added rice to his mouth neatly.

In an instant, a small half of the rice bowls of the fourth and thirteenth masters went down, and there were a few more bones on the edge of the table.

The way you snatched me from the three brothers made the three brothers eat up, and the moment they put down the chopsticks, they collapsed on the kang without any image, leaving an unforgettable memory for Su Peisheng, A Bao, and Shanzi, the personal eunuch beside the thirteenth master.

This is definitely the first time that the fourth master has eaten, neither practiced calligraphy, nor went out for a walk, so he directly pulled the quilt next to him and fell asleep, drowsy, only felt that there were two figures lying beside him, one was the prince, and the other was the thirteenth master.

Su Peisheng and the others cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, returned to the room, and showed a smile, and the sleeping method discussed by these masters was completely in vain.

Seeing that the three masters had already slept on the kang that had just eaten, Su Peisheng discussed with Ah Bao and Shanzi, and then thought about not moving the masters, so he directly took the bedding placed in the room, carefully covered the quilt for several masters, and then exited the room and simply ate some dumplings and shrank in the corner.

For a while, it seemed that the whole courtyard was quiet, and although a trace of strangeness flashed in Su Peisheng's heart, the rapid march in the past few days made this Grand Duke Su a little unbearable, and his head fell asleep little by little.

........................

Hot, hot, hot

The fourth master rubbed his head in a daze and sat up, only to see that the originally clean and tidy room had been surrounded by fire dragons, and there was already a fire on the four beams and eight pillars, and he saw that it was water. The fourth master didn't have time to think about why the guards who were in charge of finishing the end outside didn't find out, so he climbed down from the kang and kicked Su Peisheng and several other eunuchs who were still asleep in the corner, and dragged the prince and the thirteenth master who were still asleep and rushed outside.

Fortunately, the fire just started, it was not too big, and it did not block the door, the fourth master dragged one by one with one hand, and walked with difficulty, looking at the guards lying down in the Ming Hall, he knew that he should have fallen into someone else's calculation, as for who did it, the fourth master really didn't have the heart to think about it at this time.

The fourth master saw that Su Peisheng, Ah Bao, and Shanzi had already staggered and stood up, and hurriedly handed over the old thirteen and the prince in his hands to the three of them, and told the three of them to send the two of them out quickly, let them go to the back to get water and splash everyone to wake up, and then ran to the west bedroom where the fire was the largest.

Although Su Peisheng's mind was not yet sober, his instinct to believe in the fourth master made Su Peisheng automatically grab the two figures that the fourth master had lost, and together with Ah Bao and Shanzi, he sent the prince and the thirteenth master, who were already a little about to wake up, and woke up a few guards along the way.
