Chapter 234: Ninth Sister-in-law’s Young Man(1/2)
That night, the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were going to sleep together.
Shu Shu worked hard for several days, wishing she could have a good rest alone, wishing she could support her with both hands and feet.
Brother Ninth had a look of displeasure on his face, and murmured to Shu Shu: "Old Ten is so old, and he still acts like a child. Forget it, today is his birthday. The birthday boy is the biggest..."
That's how it is said.
Just by looking at the grin on his face, you could tell that he was in a good mood.
I am very happy to be close to my younger brother.
When the eunuch made the bed, the brothers' quilts were placed next to each other.
Brother Ninth felt nostalgic: "I remember, we used to sleep together when we were children. How long did we separate?"
"It's almost ten..."
Brother Ten said with a smile, but he actually remembered it clearly in his heart.
It was after the third day of November in the thirty-third year.
He stopped making trouble to sleep with Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu came over with pillows in his arms, and he also made excuses to chase people away.
Because in those days, he always woke up crying while falling asleep, for fear of scaring Ninth Brother.
Brother Jiu didn't expect that much, he only said with nostalgia: "We have grown up in the blink of an eye. Sometimes I can't believe it. We still think we are children..."
The tenth elder brother sat cross-legged, looking at the nineth elder brother who had fallen over, with a serious look on his face.
"Brother Ninth, my brother agreed to what you said that day..."
"What's the matter? What should you do? Isn't this kang head a bit hot..."
Brother Jiu felt the warmth of the fire and answered casually.
Brother Ten patted his chest and said, "Promise Brother Ninth, you can choose any of my brothers' sons..."
"ah?"
Brother Jiu remembered the scene when he was crying and embarrassed, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It's not like you're just picking a kid, you're picking them randomly, as if you can have a whole house..."
The tenth elder brother raised his arm: "Brother, I have a strong body, and it will be a matter of morning and evening in the house. I will teach you well when the time comes, and I will definitely be obedient. As for this good-looking person..."
He hesitated.
"It's hard to say this. The Dowager Queen doesn't look like a beauty. A few years ago, when Princess Abahai came to court, she just looked upright..."
This concubine refers to Concubine Duanshun, who was born in Abahai and is the great-aunt of the fiancée of the tenth prince.
Concubine Abahai is the grandmother of the tenth prince’s fiancée.
Although his fiancée has been dating a few years ago and officially got married this year, the two have not met yet.
The tenth prince has no expectations for his fiancée's appearance.
"If that doesn't work, let Concubine Yi send her two beautiful girls to the third house?"
Although there is a certain quality in the third house, it was chosen by Princess Duanshun. She can only be described as having a straight head and a straight face, and a little bit of dark skin.
Such a biological mother cannot give birth to Yuxue's lovely child.
Brother Ninth frowned and said: "Don't be fooling around. Even before the legitimate son is born, you are still thinking about the concubine... If we rarely give birth to the concubine, wouldn't it be easier to just hug the fifth brother's eldest brother? In that case, it can also reduce the burden on the fifth brother.
Trouble, my queen, please stop worrying..."
Brother Ten touched his chin.
"I didn't expect you, Brother Ninth, to still care about this..."
Today's division of concubines and concubines is a bit strange.
Each has its own algorithm.
The clan and the Eight Banners nobles still follow the old Manchu custom. The children of the direct descendants of Fujin and the side of Fujin are all direct descendants and can be ennobled as one body.
If the maids and concubines have intercourse with each other, the children born from the wives will be concubines, concubines, or concubines, and they will either be demoted to a certain level of nobility or no longer be ennobled.
If the ancestry of a foreign son is unknown, he is not allowed to enter the family tree or household registration. Even if he is identified, he must have a different name to distinguish him from other sons.
It's almost the same in the palace.
Khan Amma has promoted Confucianism in recent years, but he has not completely abandoned the old Manchu customs.
The brothers in the palace were divided into several levels.
The prince is first class.
Next are the sons of the noble concubine and the fourth concubine.
Then came the concubines.
Then there are the concubines.
Among them, the seventh elder brother is an exception.
Although she was neglected when she was young, she was treated similarly to other concubines when she returned to the palace.
Just because there is an extra princess and adoptive mother.
However, in the palace, it has always been said that "son is more valuable than mother" and "mother is more valuable than son". The concubine and the prince made each other successful.
Currently, the only people who are truly treated as concubine princes are the twelfth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother.
Brother Jiu said: "No matter who gives birth to him, he is still my nephew. What is there to care about? Your sister-in-law doesn't like it... Dong E's house is simple, so he probably can't stand these concubines and concubines...
"
The tenth prince thought of his biological mother, who was depressed during her lifetime.
He sighed: "It's not easy to be a woman, just wandering around in a place as big as a palm... It would be okay if there were fewer people, but if the husband's concubines were standing in front of him one by one, and there were all the bastards and bastards all over the floor,
Girl, I think it’s like drinking Coptis chinensis, even good people are scared to death..."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother: "So according to what you said, the empress in the palace has lived a hard life?"
None of the ladies can live alone in the palace, there are some nobles who agree to live with them.
Brother Ten nodded.
"Isn't that so? Let's not talk about anything else, let's just compare our feelings. Brother Jiu, if you were to change with Sister-in-law Jiu, you would see Sister-in-law Jiu's two young men in the yard every day, and they have red lips and white teeth. You wouldn't be able to bear it.
Can you bear it?"
Brother Jiu heard this and gritted his teeth.
"Young man, your lips are red and your teeth are white, how beautiful are you thinking?! If that's true, I will chop that young man into minced meat and feed it to the dog, and then put it into the dog's belly..."
After saying that, he felt unhappy: "Don't give random examples. What man can bear this? Besides, your sister-in-law is chaste, quiet, virtuous, and not that kind of person..."
Brother 10 hesitated for a moment and thought he needed to remind him.
"Anyway, Brother Jiu, remember, men can't stand this, and neither can strong women..."
Brother Ninth fell silent.
Have a restful night's sleep, a great sleep.
When it was almost time for her to wake up, she burned her feet and lay down. When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.
Xiaoyu stood behind her and helped her comb her hair. When she saw this, she also said: "Gege looks so good..."
Shu Shu nodded, feeling relieved.
I don't dare to endure it anymore.
Otherwise, it won’t just be Brother Jiu who loses.
Yin deficiency is also deficiency.
While talking, Xiaoyu braided her hair and tied it up.
Shu Shu looked in the mirror and said, "Wear some jewelry..."
She usually doesn't like luxury, but it's different today.
There is a small banquet today.
Xiaoyu looked at Shushu's clothes, wearing a silver-red cloak, and picked out a coral flower and two hairpins with pomegranate straps.
"Fu Jin, are these okay?"
Shu Shu's eyes fell on the pomegranate hairpin and said: "Put this away. Don't wear it for the next few years..."
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's expression tightened, and she carefully put away the pomegranate hairpins and replaced them with a pair of wishful hairpins.
Ninth Prince’s body…
What the outside world knows is not true...
The girls around Shu Shu were vaguely aware of it.
To be continued...
