Shu Shu didn’t know what to say about this sticky lake.

Although they had been married for less than two years, it seemed as if they had lived together for a long time and were already used to each other's existence.

Brother Jiu said something and changed the topic.

He did not mention the eighth elder brother, nor did he mention that he could listen to the voice. Instead, he talked about the bamboo sent by the fifth elder brother.

"This can be regarded as an apology gift. No matter how nice and angry I am tomorrow, if he refuses to give in, it won't be my fault..."

Brother Jiu said, feeling a little worried.

He had seen Prince Zhuang's arrogance with his own eyes, and it was the same gesture in order to ask him for help, not to mention that he went to apologize.

Shu Shu also saw his timidity and was reluctant to let him go over to see his face. He thought for a moment and said: "When the Lord passes by tomorrow, I will first go see Tai Fujin and pay my respects to Tai Fujin. The elders and young ones should be in order..."

That was Brother Jiu's great-aunt, one of the few remaining elders in the clan. As a great-nephew, no matter how respectful she was, she should be respectful.

The identity of Prince Zhuang can be arbitrary here, and he does not take Jiu Age, the bald prince, seriously. Taifujin, as a parent, understands what "a leprosy-headed son is good for himself". Not only will he not embarrass Jiu Age, but he will also

Protect the ninth elder brother and prevent Prince Zhuang from embarrassing him.

Brother Jiu understood the meaning of Shu Shu's words and suddenly became stunned.

"That's right! There is order between elders and younger ones, and there are distinctions between seniority and inferiority. Why did I forget about Tai Fujin?"

In fact, he is not a stingy person, but he was not angry with Prince Zhuang's attitude before.

"This old ancestor didn't come out. He really didn't think of it for a moment. It's not surprising that there are so many people offering gifts. How about we prepare some gifts?" Brother Jiu asked.

This person is the late Prince Heshuo Chengze's side Fu Jin. The mother is more noble than the son. After the son inherits the royal title, he will be promoted to the direct Fu Jin according to the rule that when the first direct Fu Jin dies, the heir's biological mother can establish the direct Fu Jin.

In his early years, Tai Fujin was also involved in diplomacy, and he went to the palace to pay respects like Tai Fujin from other princes. Later, the two sons broke up, and the old man fell ill and stayed behind closed doors.

Otherwise, on the first day of the new year, when the princes pay respects to their elders, they would not ignore this person.

Shu Shu nodded, thought about the things at home suitable for the elderly, and said: "Pack two boxes of red ginseng at home, and two boxes of high-quality bird's nests, and give me two boxes of sea cucumbers, two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin, and a handle of red sandalwood."

Ruyi, a gemstone peach tree bonsai..."

Brother Jiu didn't feel very distressed when he heard this. He still respected the elderly in his heart.

Tai Fujin has prepared so many kinds of gifts, which are decent and respectable. As for Prince Zhuang, he already has two pots of bamboo, so let's give him two more baskets of vegetables. After all, everyone in the capital knows that the vegetables grown in their own greenhouse only go to

Presented to the palace.

Shu Shu was listening, just thinking about the four pots of green, feeling inexplicably happy.

"There's still a lot of red ginseng, so let's add two boxes of red ginseng and two boxes of deer blood to make four..."

She still suggested it, not wanting Brother Jiu to touch the taboo.

The deer blood here is the kind of dried deer blood clots that can be soaked in wine or used as medicine.

Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "Red ginseng is okay, it is a tonic. Can deer blood be used? Don't get sick from eating it. After all, you are getting old..."

Shu Shu reminded: "There are imperial ministers in front of the elders of the clan. Don't talk about 'old' or anything like that. No one likes to hear this. Whether you can eat it or not is all up to you as a nephew and for the benefit of the heirs..."

Brother Jiu stopped talking.

The next day, the couple got up early.

The gifts had been prepared in advance, and Brother Jiu told Shu Shu: "If your legs are still swollen, ask Black Girl to massage it for you, or ask Dr. Jiang to ask what's going on."

Shu Shu responded, sorting out the purse on Brother Jiu's waist, and said: "If it's Prince Zhuang, please don't talk back. That's the uncle. He's several years older than the emperor. Isn't it right for an uncle to lecture his nephew?"

Ordinary? The common people don’t even talk about training, they can’t find any reason even after being kicked twice.”

Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry about me, it's okay, I have learned how to speak."

Shu Shu had difficulty moving, but she didn't have to send him out.

Brother Ninth came out with high morale.

At the entrance of the Prince's Mansion, the tenth prince was already there.

Brother Jiu was stunned when he saw it, and said: "Why didn't you go to the clan mansion? Didn't I tell you that you can go alone today, I won't go to the Yamen..."

The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, stop nagging and get in the car!"

Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Why do you have to follow such a shameful thing?"

The tenth elder brother said: "Who doesn't know that we brothers fight against each other when we are young? At this time, the younger brother can't bear to have the ninth brother to be punished alone. It's embarrassing to lose face. It's better to have half of one person than one person."

Brother Jiu felt sour in his heart and said, "Stop nagging and get in the car!"

But when he got on the carriage, his breathing became rapid.

He was so aggrieved and panicked that he wished he could go to the emperor and tell him that he was not the one who was rude to Bogodo in the first place!

It was Boguoduo who came to his prince's residence uninvited and showed his face first!

As a result, he didn't tell others because he felt embarrassed, and now it seems that it's all his fault!

Shouldn't he ask He Yuzhu to come to the door, but he was also looking for Shi Gui. Could it be that he was bullied by a slave and couldn't he send someone to ask?

His chest was panting heavily and the circles under his eyes were red.

The business of my Fujin Restaurant is good, but if I don't provoke anyone, I will be tricked by others.

Why?

The prince’s wife’s father-in-law is very rich?

Isn’t my bald brother a bald man?

Now I want to drag Lao Shi into disgrace along with him!

And let Shu Shu worry about her big belly!

"Brother Ninth..."

Brother No. 10 noticed something was wrong and was startled. He hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand to open the carriage curtain, and said fiercely: "Turn around and enter the palace!"

"Brother Ninth, don't be angry..."

Brother Ten stroked his chest and said, "Breathe slowly..."

Brother Jiu couldn't help it, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"Brother Ninth, what's wrong with you..."

The tenth elder brother was crying and almost burst into tears.

Brother Jiu glanced at him, slowly exhaled and said, "It's okay, I just want to file a complaint!"

The carriage entered the Imperial City from Di'an Gate. Instead of going through Shenwu Gate, it walked around the palace city and walked outside Donghua Gate.

The two brothers got off the carriage and went directly to Qianqing Palace.

The ninth elder brother pursed his lips, still panting, but his mind became clearer, and he glanced at the tenth elder brother.

Brother Ten had a worried look on his face, but he didn't mean to stop him.

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth even tighter.

After a while, when he arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, Ninth Elder Brother directly told the messenger eunuch: "Report to the emperor for me, and tell Ninth Elder Brother Yinzhen to ask for an audience!"

The tenth elder brother said from the side: "There is still the tenth elder brother!"

Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "No, you wait for me at the door!"

The tenth elder brother wanted to speak again, but the ninth elder brother had already said seriously: "Be obedient!"

The eunuch on duty sent a message inside.

The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Ninth elder brother, why don't you think about it again..."

Brother Jiu looked at him, frowned and said, "Don't worry about it!"

In the Xinuan Pavilion, the dining table has just been removed, and Kangxi is taking a walk to eat.

As he walked, he rubbed his stomach.

Seeing the eunuch who had passed the message talking to Liang Jiugong in a low voice, Kangxi stopped and said, "What's wrong?"

Liang Jiugong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Master Jiu is here and asked to see the Emperor. Chen Gui said that Brother Jiu didn't look right. Master Ten was also here and wanted to see you, but Master Jiu stopped him."

Kangxi couldn't help frowning after hearing this.

Did you come back from Prince Zhuang's Mansion to make amends and get scolded?

He glanced at the clock. It was just three o'clock in the morning, but he felt something was wrong again.

too early.

So you haven’t gone yet?

His face turned dark and he said: "Tell him to get out. I want to hear why he came to the palace instead of going to Prince Zhuang's Mansion!"

Liang Jiugong did not dare to delay and hurriedly went out to deliver the message.

He also wanted to give Brother Ninth a word of advice, but seeing Brother Ninth gritting his teeth and holding back his grief and anger, he didn't dare to persuade him.
