Seeing Huang Ama looking at him, Hongxin suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He turned his head suddenly and strode outside.
In front of the Yangxin Hall, the sunlight casts a piercing light on the bright yellow glazed tiles.
Brother Six walked quickly with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he looked down at his own shadow on the ground from time to time.
The shadow is no longer lonely.
Suotai and the other two Haha Zhuzi kept walking and followed behind with their clothes flying. It was not a long road, but a few little boys walked in a hurry.
When we arrived at Qiandong Wusuo, the land suddenly became spacious.
Qiandong Wusuo was built in the early Ming Dynasty and is symmetrical to Qianxi Wusuo on Neiting West Road.
The three houses arranged for Brother Six have already been cleaned and decorated, and they are spotless.
The furnishings in the room are fully furnished, neither too extravagant to make the prince lose his interest in studying, nor too simple to be worthy of his elder brother's status.
Hong Xin followed the leading eunuch and walked in. Eight young eunuchs knelt on the ground to say hello. Xiao Yoko and Xiao Kezi looked at each other, and they silently put down all the belongings of Brother Six.
Hongxin did not sit down in a hurry, but first walked around the three houses.
The front courtyard and the middle courtyard of the three institutes are all in a three-heyuan layout with "one front and two rooms". There is a well pavilion in the southwest corner of the middle courtyard, and the backyard is shallower. There is only the main hall, which is covered with yellow glazed tiles like other palaces and gardens in the Forbidden City. Hard mountain top.
In addition to the main building, there are also some auxiliary rooms, the location and number of which are arranged appropriately, which can be used as warehouses or as duty rooms for the slaves.
Each room is separated by a low wall and is independent of each other. There are small doors on the low wall that can communicate with each other, but they have already been locked at this time.
Hongxin walked over, stretched out his hand and flicked the lock. He knew that the next door to this lock was the Second Institute.
The fifth brother lives in the second house.
The fourth brother and the fifth brother were both very different from him in age. When they met in the palace, they just reached out and patted him on the shoulder. In the few interactions that I remember, the brothers accommodated him and asked him whether it hurt or not. Itchy, children's topic.
Hongxin thought about it and was stunned for a while.
He stared at the small door and low wall of the second house for a while, then turned around and walked back.
The eunuch who led the way hurriedly caught up with him, hunched his waist and trotted along while introducing him to his elder brother.
There is a small door in the northwest corner of the wall of the three harems. It is the only passage from Qiandong Wusuo to Beiheng Street. It is closed on weekdays and only opened on the fourth, fourteenth and twenty-fourth of each month for cleaning or when there are other things.
Hongxin glanced at the small door, but was not interested. He didn't need to go to North Street at all. He only needed to know which way to go to Yangxin Palace and which way to Chengqian Palace.
The setting sun was setting in the west, piercing people's eyes with dazzling flowers. Hongxin raised her hand and frowned, blocked it for a moment, turned around and saw a huge plum tree in the yard, with red and heavy fruits on it.
This is strange. Plums usually bear fruit in July every year. Even if there is drought in the north and they mature late, they will not bear fruit until this time.
Hongxin squinted his eyes and looked at it.
Suotai was behind, watching quietly with his hands on his waist. When he saw Hongxin staring at the fruits on the tree, he suddenly said: "If Brother Six likes it, I will pick it for you."
Hongxin didn't mean this at first, but after hearing what he said, she started to think a little bit about teasing others. She stretched out her hand and pointed at a string slightly higher, raised her head and said, "I want that one."
With this statement, he put on a completely masterful air.
Little Yoko looked up and gasped - the height was not low, even an adult would have to climb up the ladder, let alone a child of only six or seven years old.
Suotai's expression remained unchanged, and although his voice was still childish, he looked confident. Little Yoko looked at this child and glanced around the yard. Seeing that there was nothing to draw on, he simply wiped his hands and stepped forward.
Climb up the tree quickly.
It's just climbing a tree, so there's nothing extraordinary about it, but this kid's agility is rare to see.
If it were in the past, little Yoko would have just praised him in his heart as "quick!", but now that he has become a skilled eunuch and practices boxing and kicking every day, he can see the secrets inside.
This is called Suotai’s haha beads...it looks like it has been established for a year or two.
Suotai climbed up the tree, stretched out his hand and reached out, and caught the bunch of red plums. He pulled hard, and the branches broke. Suotai put the plums into his arms, used both hands to climb up the tree trunk.
Come down.
When he was about to come down, his body suddenly swayed, and Xiao Kezi let out a low cry, thinking that he was about to fall. Who knew that his eyes were blurred, and before he could see clearly, the child had no idea what kind of movement he had used, and he stood neatly.
on the ground.
Suotai stepped forward, took out the plums from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "Brother Six!"
Hongxin did not step forward, but glanced at Xiaoyangzi and said: "Sheep."
Xiaoyangzi understood, stepped forward and took the plum from Suotai's hand, and then handed it to Hongxin.
Hongxin glanced at Li Zi in front of her and said, "Get up."
Suotai stood up, puffed out his small chest, and couldn't help but pant. His face was slightly red from climbing up and down the tree just now.
Hongxin nodded and praised: "Not bad."
The two haha pillars next to him couldn't help but cast envious glances at Suotai.
The process of Brother Six issuing orders, directing, and approving was like flowing water. Su Peisheng watched from the side and smiled slightly without saying much.
After a while, when he saw that Sixth Brother was almost done wandering around the hospital, Su Peisheng said softly: "Sixth Brother, there are so many interesting places in these three schools, how can you finish them all in a short time?
Let's go inside and have a rest, and then look around. Is there anything inappropriate? If so, I will immediately order someone to help you."
He paused, straightened up and said, "If not, I will go back and take over the emperor's orders. Brother, don't forget, tomorrow morning, you...have to go to the study."
He was beaming as he spoke, and Hongxin glanced at him and thought, Why are you so happy waiting for my brother to go to school?
"Thank you, Eunuch Su. If you have any trouble, Eunuch Su will send it over." He said politely.
Su Peisheng kept saying that he didn't dare, and greeted the sixth elder brother into the main courtyard with a smile on his face.
Hongxin sat down. A young eunuch had already poured tea and brought it to him. Little Yoko only glanced at it and raised his hand to have it taken away.
My brother is picky and only drinks one or two types of green tea.
He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Kezi. Xiao Kezi understood and took out the Junshan Maojian he carried with him.
This was installed by Concubine Chen. When you open the lid, you can see that the inner strips are strong, the color is oily, and the inner content is fragrant.
Brother Six saw the three haha beads standing nearby without moving, so he pointed to the row of chairs next to him and said: "There's no need to stand around like this, sit down."
Xiaoyangzi was soaked and served, and Hongxin took a sip.
Manchu children, generally at his age, like to drink milk tea; otherwise, they also like to drink black tea.
Especially as the days move towards autumn and winter, black tea is used more.
E Niang, who lived in Chengqian Palace, liked to drink green tea all year round. She once said, "Green tea can remove free radicals in the human body and can also remove moisture."
He understood what "moisture" was, but he couldn't understand the words "purple oil chicken" at all.
Hongxin still remembers that when he asked, E Niang looked stunned, as if she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Well, no matter what the "Purple Oil Chicken" is, in short, this habit of drinking green tea was cultivated by his mother-in-law.
