Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 143 Taking Care of Brothers
Of course, Xiao Yiyan was squeezed into Xiao Yilin's carriage for the next two days' journey, and it seemed that he and Xiao Yilin had endless conversations along the way.

That's right, they haven't seen each other for almost three years, and they usually communicate through letters. This time they finally meet again, Xiao Yiyan has a lot to say to her fourth brother.

Jing Yi felt that she should not bother her brothers to reminisce about the past, so she insisted on going to another carriage.

Xiao Yilin was also afraid that the little girl would feel uncomfortable with Xiao Yiyan around, so she agreed.

Xiao Yilin and Xiao Yiyan chatted with each other about the past few years.Xiao Yiyan hated those who plotted against her fourth brother.

Although the fourth brother didn't say who secretly instigated it, Xiao Yiyan is not stupid, he can also guess who is behind the scenes.

He knew that the fourth brother was the most loved by the father, and this also blocked the way of other princes and became a thorn in their eyes. Of course, they had to find a way to get rid of the stumbling block of the fourth brother.

Now that the fourth brother is back, and has regained control of the Xuanwei army, this undoubtedly makes their calculations come to nothing.It's not sure what will happen to them in the future.

Xiao Yiyan said: "Fourth brother, when you return to the capital, don't trust people too much and care about brotherhood too much like before. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother are all eyeing the throne, and the mother clan behind them is also determined Support them vigorously.

What I don't understand the most is the Yan family. I didn't see how they supported you when you were in full swing. Later, after you were injured and poisoned, they ignored you. Now that you return to them, they still choose to support mynah.Can't they see that the emperor's favorite is you?The future throne is very likely to be yours. "

Xiao Yilin said: "Ninth brother, don't say these words in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body. I am not so attached to the throne. I am lucky to have lost my life. No matter who the father passes the throne to in the end, I am convinced and support it. .

Besides, the father is now in the prime of his life, so there is no need to talk about inheriting the throne.We don't care about others, we just do things for the court and the father, and don't get involved in their party struggles.

What my father hates the most is forming a party for personal gain and being coerced by those gentry families.The emperor has been trying to weaken the power of the gentry, we should help the emperor. "

Xiao Yiyan nodded, "Fourth brother, I understand. Fourth brother, you don't know yet, the mansion that my father gave me is next to your house, and we will be neighbors from now on. My father also said that I will not let me go I’m done, I’ll stay in the capital, and I’ll ask you more questions if I don’t understand.”

Xiao Yilin immediately understood the good intentions of his father, it was to allow him to take better care of his ninth brother.

Xiao Yilin said: "Father is asking me to watch you. The situation in the capital is complicated. After you come back, you have to be careful everywhere. Don't follow other people's ways and fall into the hands of others. It's not good. In the future, don't talk about it when things happen. Just wait until you get used to it."

Xiao Yiyan nodded and said, "I wouldn't want to come back if it wasn't for my father and fourth brother in the capital. Sometimes it's interesting to travel with the master, and you can learn a lot. The master said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Road. It’s not enough to just stay in the house and study and work behind closed doors. You have to go outside and learn about the customs and customs of various places.”

Xiao Yilin said: "Master Mingyang is a man of profound knowledge and practice. He was able to accept you as a disciple because of his father's face. Now that you have grown up safely, and your knowledge has not fallen behind, your father must be very happy." .

Since you are back, you will be more filial in the future.And you can't miss your studies either, you must go to the Royal Academy to study, and the emperor will definitely arrange for you when the time comes. "

Xiao Yiyan's face fell when he heard the words, "Fourth brother, I'm already 15 years old, can I stop studying?"

Xiao Yilin smiled and said, "What are you doing without studying? You are only 15 years old, and you are not yet old enough to enter the imperial court. Besides, you don't know much about everything in the capital. Entering the Royal Academy will give you time to understand, and you will be able to learn more about it." Make some friends.

Wait until you arrive before considering entering the court.At that time, the emperor will arrange for you. "

Xiao Yiyan pouted and said, "Fourth brother, you entered and left the military camp when you were only in your teens. I'm already 15 years old, and I'm not young anymore. I also want to get out of the training sooner."

Xiao Yilin sighed and said: "Xiao Jiu, why do you think I entered the military camp when I was more than ten years old? It was also forced by the situation. The emperor urgently needs a son who holds military power, otherwise he would be too passive.

Besides, my life in the palace was not good, so I might as well go out of the palace to wander around.Do you know how much hardship I went through?Neither my father nor I want you to go through that.We all hope you live safe and healthy. "

Xiao Yiyan didn't know that his father and fourth brother were thinking of him, the young man nodded with red eyes, "fourth brother, I understand your painstaking efforts. I am obedient, and I will study in the academy in the future."

Xiao Yilin was very pleased to see that the ninth brother was so obedient. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Doctor Chu can cook a lot of delicious food. All the cooks in the house have learned cooking skills from her. Let them prepare delicious food for you in the future. The cooks from here can come and learn from them.”

When it comes to food, Xiao Yiyan said: "Fourth brother, a cyclamen restaurant has just opened in Beijing recently, and the food there can be called gourmet food. I have eaten there a few times, and it is simply delicious in the world. But you have to eat in advance Make a reservation, otherwise you won’t be able to secure a seat at all. The business of the restaurant is simply too booming.”

Xiao Yilin smiled and said, "The Cyclamen Restaurant has a private room for me. In the future, when you go to eat, just report my name. You don't need to make a reservation. You can eat whenever you go."

Xiao Yiyan said in surprise, "Wow, that's great."

Then he thought of something and looked at his fourth brother in surprise, "Fourth brother, you're the one who opened the Cyclamen Restaurant, right?"

Xiao Yilin smiled and nodded, "It was founded by Dr. Chu and I in partnership, and my father also has shares. The recipes for Cyclamen are all provided by Dr. Chu. The cooks in the mansion are no worse than the chefs at the restaurant. Whatever you eat, you can ask the cook in my house to cook for you."

Xiao Yiyan was very happy now, "Fourth brother, I will go to your house to eat in the future. Anyway, it's not interesting for me to eat alone."

Xiao Yilin smiled and said: "Then you have to be careful, don't make yourself fat. Gu Yu and Feng Zhi can't help eating too much every day, so they spend more time practicing martial arts every day, otherwise they will all become fat .”

Xiao Yiyan laughed and said: "That can't be done. For a thin person like me, it would be a good thing if I could get fatter."

Xiao Yilin saw that his younger brother was indeed still a little thin, "When I get home, let Jing Yan take your pulse and prescribe some medicine for you to recuperate your body. Her medical skills are not comparable to those of the imperial doctors. Just look at me and I will know." gone."

Xiao Yiyan nodded and said: "That's a good relationship. Those imperial physicians are always conservative and dare not innovate just for their own black hats."
