Chapter 396 The Second Brother with Obsessive-compulsive Disorder

The second brother asked, "Did you tell Yeye that we can't live here?"

Mrs. Lin asked at the same time: "Which brother? All brothers?"

"No," Tuanzi said, "It wasn't Xinbao who said that. It was Yeye who said that. On the surface, it was for Xinbao, but it was just an excuse. If Xinbao is afraid to live there alone, he can choose not to live there and let his brother live there. Any brother can live there."

The second brother put down his teacup and said, "Xinbao, tell me everything you said to Yeye."

Xinbao said "oh" and sat on Brother Tang's lap and repeated what he had said.

The second brother listened to her quietly, nodded, and pondered for a moment.

He was worried about her, afraid that she would disturb Emperor Mingpei, and afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if Emperor Mingpei ignored her. This was one aspect.

On the other hand, this is how people like the second brother act.

No matter from which aspect, Emperor Mingpei is a very important existence, he will not try his luck in a muddle.

He will definitely act conservatively first, observe and understand, plan before taking action, and then decide how he will communicate with him in the future.

It's not that I'm not sincere, it's just that I'm not straightforward. I pay attention to methods and pursue perfection and efficiency.

It's like in modern times, if you say you want to buy a new pair of running shoes, your mother might say that you look like running shoes; but if you say that running shoes are on the lowest discount all year, your success rate may increase by 30%. If you then take out a whole day to go shopping with your mother and persuade her to buy a set of expensive cosmetics, your running shoes will almost certainly be yours.

So even among relatives, there are strategies.

Xinbao sat on the armrest, looking eagerly at her handsome second brother.

My second brother has such a beautiful and delicate appearance, and wearing such brightly colored clothes really matches him well, making him look elegant and noble.

Xinbao walked over from the table and lay on his back: "Second brother."

He looked back at her: "Yeah."

Xinbao said seriously: "Yeye is really very good, very good, very good. He not only likes Xinbao, but also likes brother and every one of us."

The second brother smiled and raised his hand, touching her soft little face: "Brother knows."

Yan Qingshan said, "Then wait until tomorrow when everything is ready, and Fan'er and Rong'er can go live in the palace over there!"

The elder brother said, "Little Five and Little Six should go too. There is just enough space for the four of us over there. But I have to go back to the border after the New Year... Can Erlang go alone? Or should Sanlang and Silang go? Little Five and Little Six can follow you?"

Madam Lin smiled and said, "It's alright. Chang'er and Sheng'er won't have the final say. Just the four of you go ahead!"

As she spoke, she stood up, held her daughter in her arms, and whispered, "Have you named them yet?"

Xinbao also asked quietly: "Are you awake?"

Madam Lin said, "Your second brother gave me the name. My last name is Lin, so the maids are called Zhifan, Yemao... or something else?"

The second elder brother laughed and said, "If you say too much, Xinbao can't remember it all at once. Let's remember the people who are used the most first. Dad is Qingshan, so his eunuchs are called Cengluan and Diezhang... Mom's surname is Lin, so they are Zhifan and Yemao; eldest brother created Jifeng and Jingcao himself; I am Rong, so mine are Jiemei and Chengwei; Sanlang is called Risheng and Yueheng, and Silang is called Duijin and Jiyu..."

Fourth brother Tang complained on the side, "Third brother wanted to name it Dao Guang Jian Ying, but second brother rejected it. I said Zhao Cai Jin Bao, but he said no. I said it would be auspicious and auspicious, but he said that such a name must be important in the harem. If I had told him to name it earlier, he would have just named it! Why did I waste so much time? Besides, aren't piling up gold and jade the same as Zhao Cai Jin Bao?"

The second elder brother glared at him and said, "Little Five's name is Shen Ji, Miao Suan, he named it himself! I didn't name it! Little Six's name is Cang Shen, Cang Ming... Why did he have to name it something like Bu Jing Nei Nu, and he's trying to show off his literary talent to me? How could I not know that it comes from Liu Hou Lun? But the problem is that you can't have a Buddhist name! Cang Shen Cang Ming is a bit like a Buddhist name!"

Hahahaha! Tuanzi just laughed out loud.

Then the second brother looked at her.

Xinbao blinked his eyes, and the fourth brother laughed and said, "He said so much, didn't you understand? Just name it in this style! If it doesn't fit, he will change it for you! Since you are called Xinbao, why not call it the five internal organs and six viscera?"

He couldn't stop laughing as he spoke.

Xinbao discovered that his second brother and Yan Shenjue both had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the directions of their compulsion were different.

The second elder brother said, "How about you call it Hebi, Suizhu? Jiguang, Pianyu? All are fine. Or you can go a step further and call it Chibi, Cunyin? That's fine, too."

Xinbao thought blankly for a long while, then shook his head: "You all named yourselves after names, I want to do the same. I am a painting, and Ye Ye said that the landscape is like a painting... I have thought about it, I will name them Chunhua, Qiushi, Nuandong, and Liangxia."

The second brother nodded: "Not bad, not bad!"

He looked at them and said, "Look, if you guys can give such a good name, why would I interfere with you? You gave yourself a bad name and you blame others for interfering!"

He picked up his sister with one hand and said, "Let's go, let's pick the person out."

Xinbao: “…”

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

So they went back and called everyone in.

To be honest, there were really a lot of people in the palace. She was the only one there, and more than twenty palace maids came in.

Moreover, they themselves were divided into different levels, standing in three rows.

Xinbao looked around carefully, even at the back, and then picked out four that looked familiar and good-looking.

After she finished choosing, she looked at her second brother, who smiled and nodded, indicating that she had made a good choice.

Xinbao named them directly: "From today on, your names will be Chunhua, Qiushi, Nuandong, and Liangxia."

The four were surprised and delighted, and bowed together: "Thank you, Master, for giving me a name."

In the palace, bestowing names is a very important ritual. Just like Fang Wuyou, when he was still a young eunuch, he was just called Wuyou. Later, when he gradually became a senior eunuch, he had a surname.

Then Xinbao followed suit and called the eunuch to pick out four more. Xinbao selected four Chinese medicinal herbs and named them Bletilla striata, Baiqian, Baiying, and Ginkgo biloba.

After the selection was completed, only four palace maids and four eunuchs were left. The second brother said, "Chunhua will be in charge of the interior for the time being, and Baiji will be in charge of the exterior for the time being. Starting tomorrow, this place will be connected to the Yong'an Palace next door. You guys should discuss it and don't keep too many people. Try to keep it as simple as possible."

Xinbao blinked his big eyes.

This is different from what Huang Yeye said.

What Huang Yeye said was more like the law of the jungle. Pick out four first and then let the four of them compete for a "leader".

And the way my second brother does it... how should I put it, it's more like modern management. I have high hopes for you, and I directly and clearly authorize you to manage the subordinates. If you don't do a good job, then let alone being a senior palace maid, you may not even be able to be a junior palace maid.

Each has its own advantages.

But in this way, at night, you can clearly feel that it is quieter around you, and it doesn't feel like everyone wants to come in or get close to you.

Early the next morning, I went to Wu'an Palace.
