Chapter 963

At the end of May, the weather was already a little hot. The triplets practiced boxing against the sun, and they were sweating profusely for half an hour. But the master did not stop, and no one dared to stop.

After another half an hour, Master Dou saw that Brother Xuan could no longer hold on, and then he said, "Take a break for a quarter of an hour." After a quarter of an hour, he continued.

The triplets took the towel handed by their entourage and wiped off the sweat on their forehead. Brother Xuan said as he drank water, "It's too dry, and we'll tell my mother that we should change the activities of boxing to indoors!" There is no way for activities such as archery and horse riding that must be outside. Guns are still allowed indoors.

Brother Rui said: "It's just sunburned, we're not girls, and we're afraid of the dark." He doesn't like being indoors, and the indoor space is small and unpleasant.

Brother You also wanted to go indoors, and didn't want to practice outside against the sun: "Second brother, it's too hot today, I'm worried that I will suffer from heat stroke if it goes on like this."

One-on-two, Brother Rui was defeated.

During the second break, the entourage brought three plates of cherries. Brother Xuan was a little surprised: "Cherry? Are there cherries now?" Remember that cherries only came in June!

A Luo smiled and said, "This is an early-ripening variety." These cherries were just delivered to the palace, and Liu Er got the news and sent them to the front yard and the triplets. This thing is rare, and the palace has two baskets. Liu'er will divide these into several parts and send them to each family.

At the end of Shen Shimo, the triplets went back to the yard to take a bath after practicing. After changing clothes, the three of them went to the main courtyard.

Seeing that Zaozao and Liu'er were both there, Brother Xuan asked with a smile, "Second sister, do you still have cherries?" How many times have you complained.

Liu Er smiled and nodded: "There are still three discs." It is not that Liu Er is generous, but these cherries have been used for some time on the road, and they will be damaged if they are put on.

Zaozao said with a smile: "If you like it, let the people below send more."

Brother Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't want it anymore." Brother Xuan knows how expensive these cherries are. Just because he likes to let the people below send it all the time, it's too expensive.

Seeing this, Liu Er said: "In addition to cherries, there are strawberries, watermelons, plums, etc. These things are not rare. Tell me if you like it, and I will let the people below deliver it." Summer is the season with the most fruits. , unlike winter, I didn't want to eat it.

"The lychees are also ripe this season, so let the people below send a few baskets of lychees to eat." In Guangxi the year before last, Zaozao ate a lot of lychees. But lychee got angry, Yin Zhaofeng only gave her one bowl at a time, no more.

Liu'er shook his head and said, "It's too far, and it's not even fresh here." From Fujian to Haocheng, unless you send it quickly, it won't taste good when it arrives in Haocheng.

"Just make them go faster."

Brother You disagreed, and said, "Big sister, if my mother hears this, she will definitely scold you."

Zaozao was puzzled and asked, "I just asked the people below to bring lychees to eat. Why did my mother scold me?"

Brother You shook his head and recited the Huaqing Palace made by Du Mu: "Chang'an looks back at the embroidery piles, and the top of the mountain opens one after another. When the concubine of Hongchen is riding, no one knows that it is lychee."

"What's the meaning?"

Brother Rui said cheerfully: "Sister, you are not willing to let you read more books, are you blind now?" Of the six siblings, only Zazao was worse at reading than him. And Brother Rui didn't have low self-esteem under the multiple blows, because every time he was frustrated, he thought that Zaozao was worse than him, and his heart was balanced.

Brother Xuan is a good boy, and immediately explained to Zaozao: "The meaning of this poem is that Tang Xuanzong, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not hesitate to open up a lychee road in order to win a smile, and then sent lychees from Fujian to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles. .In this way, the lychees delivered to the capital are very fresh."

Zao Zao was stunned: "Eight hundred miles to send lychees in a hurry? Is this crazy?" Only emergencies such as wars or earthquakes would use this to convey information.

Brother You smiled and said, "It's not crazy. The Tang Dynasty turned weak because of his heyday."

At this time,

Yuxi and Yunqing entered the door. Oak-hee smiled and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you having such a good time?"

Zaozao rushed in front of the crowd and said, "Mother, I want to eat lychees." She just wanted to eat lychees, so she would give it to Tang Xuanzong's concubine.

Before Yu Xi could speak, Yun Qing said, "Tell Han Ji about this, and let him buy two baskets of lychees and come back." Why bother telling them about such a trivial matter.

Yuxi added: "Two baskets are too much, it's about the same as buying ten or eight catties. This thing gets angry if you eat too much." There are lychees in Haocheng, but they are very expensive. But if you want to eat jujube, it is expensive!

Brother You asked maliciously: "Mother, how much does the lychee sell for a pound outside?"

Yuxi thought for a moment and said, "Lychees seemed to be worth 10 taels of silver a pound at this time last year. I don't know this year. But I think the price should be about the same."

"Ten taels of silver a pound? Why don't they go grab it? When I was in Guangxi, lychees were only four cents a pound." Although this place is far from Lingnan, it's not so outrageous.

The triplets said in unison, "It's so cheap?" Four cents a pound in Lingnan costs ten taels of silver here, which is unbelievable.

Yuxi felt that everyone was making a fuss: "Lingnan is too far away from here, you must use a lot of ice cubes to keep it fresh. Even so, there are many broken." The cost is too high, and the selling price is naturally high.

Zao Zao waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Then I still won't eat it." It was so expensive, she couldn't bear it.

Liu Er and the triplets also felt extravagant.

Yu Xi laughed and said, "Our family isn't so nervous yet, it's okay to buy 10 catties and come back and try it." Being careful and careful is always better than spending a lot of money.

After dinner, Brother You stayed and asked, "Mother, I said a few days ago that my brother will be back soon, why hasn't he come back yet, mother, when will my brother come back?"

Yun Qing said with a smile: "If there is no delay, I should be able to get home in two or three days!" There are many uncertainties on the road, and it is normal for a day or two at night.

Brother You said: "Mother, you promised me that you would let me go to Jiangnan when the eldest brother came back." Jiangnan has delicious and fun things, and he still yearns for it.

Yuxi laughed: "Mummy's words count. But are you sure you're going to Jiangnan at this time?" It's hard for ordinary people to travel on such a hot day.

Brother You nodded seriously and said, "Of course. Oh mother, if the second and third brothers knew, they would definitely go." This was to give Brother Rui and Brother You a chance.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Wait until your elder brother comes back." If the two of them insisted on going to Jiangnan, she would not stop them. The triplets are ten years old, and it's time for them to go out and see the outside world.

In the afternoon two days later, Qi Hao came back.

When the triplets got the news, they took leave from Master Dou, and then hurried to Qi Hao's yard. Seeing Brother Hua in the room, he hurriedly asked, "Cousin, where is my eldest brother?"

Brother Hua said with a smile: "Master Shizi just went to the clean room to take a bath. Second Master, wait a moment."

Brother You said: "Second brother, third brother, since eldest brother is taking a bath, let's change clothes first!" No matter who takes a bath, it will take at least a quarter of an hour. That's long enough for them to take a shower and get dressed.

After taking a bath, Qi Hao dragged his wet hair and asked Brother Hua, "Did Mom and Dad send someone over?"

Brother Hua shook his head: "No. The Second Young Master and the others have been here just now. In addition, the big county master and the second county master sent people over."

Qi Hao's face was bitter immediately.

Brother Hua knew Qi Hao's concerns: "You tell my aunt the truth. I believe my aunt can understand."

"Back then, my grandfather used the eldest sister as a bait to lure out Yucheng's detailed works. My mother knew that she would be furious, and she didn't want to see her for a long time. This time I took a risk, and my mother must be very angry." fined.

Brother Hua said, "Master Shizi, you didn't take a risk with your own body." The person who went to Liangshan Temple was a substitute, not the Master Shizi himself.

Qi Hao shook his head and said, "You don't understand."

Just as he was talking, he saw Brother Rui's triplets walking in. Brother You rushed up and hugged Qihao and said, "Brother, you are finally back, but you want to kill me."

Brother Rui said loudly, "Brother, tell me quickly, what did you gain from going to Mianzhou this time?" The triplets didn't know when Qi Hao was in the Liangshan Temple.

Qi Hao briefly recounted what he saw and heard along the way, and only avoided Liangshan Temple.

Brother Xuan was very surprised: "I am so poor that I have no clothes to wear, so I can only sleep in the bed?" He only thought that these people would have no food to eat in the event of a natural disaster, but he did not expect that they would not be able to wear clothes.

Brother Rui's focus is different from that of Brother Xuan: "Brother, you said you sent the two girls you rescued back to your house? Why haven't I heard of such a big thing?"

Brother You's mouth twitched, but there were two more maids in the house, so why should they tell their brothers: "Brother, is there something special about these two people?"

Qi Hao nodded and said, "That big man disguised himself as a woman to go to school. This child is not only courageous, but also very thoughtful. I think my mother will like her, so I asked her to send her back." In fact, seeing Yin Kang Le, Qi Hao thought of Zaozao. All of them are not inferior to being women, and they are all working hard for their own goals.

The chat time passed quickly, and it was time for dinner in a blink of an eye.

When the four brothers went to the main courtyard to see Yuxi and Yunqing, they were very surprised. Brother You said, "Father, Mother." They thought the two of them hadn't arrived!

Yuxi said with an unpleasant expression: "The food is already on the table, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

Even Zaozao, the most unresponsive, could tell that Yuxi was in a bad mood. At this time, she did not dare to speak, otherwise she would definitely be punished.

During this meal, everyone ate very quietly. Brother Rui, who usually makes noises when eating, is chewing slowly this time.

Zaozao was the first to finish eating, then stood up and said, "Mother, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first." Although she was curious about what Qihao did to make her so angry, she couldn't control her mouth. If you talk too much, you will be wronged. Furthermore, she has confidence in Qi Hao, even if she does something wrong, her mother is reluctant to punish him.

Liu Er saw this and went out with him.

The triplets were very loyal, they waited by the side after dinner and did not go back. Oak Xi glanced at the three of them and said, "It's none of your business here, just go back and do your homework."

The triplets looked at Qi Hao.

The brothers are so friendly, Yun Qing is very satisfied when he sees this. Brothers should be like this, the blessings and the misfortunes are the same.

Oak Xi said angrily, "Still leaving? Is there not enough homework given by Mr. today?"

Brother Rui hurriedly said, "Father, mother, eldest brother, then let's go back first." Her mother could be ruthless, so it's better to run away quickly.

Seeing the triplets' backs, Yun Qing was speechless. I just thought that the triplets are very brotherly, but I didn't expect them to be so vulnerable.

There were only three people left in the room, Qi Hao knelt down in front of Yuxi and said, "Mother, I was wrong, don't be angry."

Yuxi's expression was cold: "Have you ever thought that if your plan is seen through, you can easily kill you by stealing your soul. At that time, what will you do with me and your father?"

Qi Hao lowered his head and said, "Mother, those two have been hiding in the secret room. They are all inside. Even if the plan fails, they will not be able to find me." Yi Kun and Yu Zhi were too conspicuous, so they had to follow. And Brother Hua is relatively less important, so he said to the outside world that Brother Hua was not accustomed to the situation and asked him to stay to protect Qihao.

Oak-hee didn't know about this.

Qi Hao said: "It is precisely because of this secret room that Yi Kun and Yu Zhi agreed to my plan." There are very few people who know this secret room.

Yuxi's expression was still cold, but the anger in her heart dissipated a lot.

Yun Qing was a little distressed and hurried to smooth things out: "Yu Xi, don't be angry. Qi Hao got rid of Soul Repelling and wiped out Mianzhou's meticulous work this time, but he did a great job. This is considered to be worth the effort."

Yu Xi looked at Qi Hao and asked, "Do you also think that you can get over the merits?" If Qi Hao thought so too, then all her hard work over the years would be in vain.

Qi Hao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's my son's unfilial behavior, which makes my father and mother worry." Usually, their sister and brother have a headache and a hot mother would worry too much, but this time it will definitely make her unable to eat and sleep again.

Yu Xin sighed: "How many times has my mother told you before, that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, but you forgot to go behind your ears?"

Qi Hao didn't dare to argue, he lowered his head and said, "It's my son's fault, I beg your mother to punish him." Arguing will only make his mother angrier. And it's a little dangerous to do this, because the secret room is not 100% safe.

Seeing Qi Hao admitting his mistake was not bad, Yu Xi's anger dissipated quite a bit: "Forget it this time, if you dare to do this next time, don't go out again in the future."

Qi Hao immediately said, "Don't worry, mother, there will be no next time." This threat was much more serious to Qi Hao than copying scriptures.

Seeing that the alert was lifted, Yun Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help Qi Hao up, patted Qi Hao on the shoulder and said, "You, don't kneel down in the future."

For Qihao, apart from heaven and earth, only his ancestors, Yunqing and Yuxi could make him kneel.
