Among the female relatives present, there were those who were senior to Prince Zhuang Fu Jin, but their imperial edicts were several levels lower, and they were not qualified to speak.
Among the princes, Prince Fujin of Zhuangzhuang is the eldest, and he is sitting in the first place today.
As soon as she spoke, Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin also followed suit.
Shu Shu very obediently ordered the mothers to carry the children down...
As for the male guests at the front, most of them are in the courtyard at the moment.
Now in the warm spring season, the sun is warm, and the young brother is either setting traps or shooting money.
Prince Gong, Prince An and other elders also came out to watch the fun.
They are all wealthy and idle people, and they all have a bit of gambling in them.
Shooting money requires both eyesight and archery skills, and they are not willing to show their timidity in front of their juniors. On the contrary, trapping is relatively simple and has something to do with sharp eyesight, but it is more about skill and luck.
Prince Gong asked for a handful of bamboo hoops from the fifth elder brother who was roping next to him, and gave half of it to Prince An, saying: "Bibi? I happened to have sent a few good horses over, and I'll take two of them as prizes..."
Prince An responded with a smile and said: "Our government also sent it, which is just right."
The fifth elder brother was listening, envious, and whispered to the seventh elder brother: "When will we divide the racecourse?"
What man doesn’t love horses?
Besides, they have a lot of guards and troops in their name, and they also need to replace their horses and equipment. It is more convenient to have a horse farm.
The Seventh Prince thought for a while and said: "The princely racecourses of each banner were all established earlier, and they are all under the old brand Prince's Mansion. They are no longer wealthy..."
They have already lowered their flags, and it would be good to use the sheep and cattle from the royal pasture every year. If they want to encircle the prince's pasture outside the mouth like the old princes do, they can only think about it.
Fourth brother is not good at shooting, but he is somewhat interested in roping and is watching the excitement.
After listening to the words of the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, he thought more.
Not only is the Wanggong Racecourse outside the mouth under the name of the old brand Wanggong, but Guanzhuang along the way from Shengjing to Zhili, Datou is also under the name of the old brand Wanggong.
Unless opportunities are found to free up, the family backgrounds of the meritorious branch and the Enwang branch will be completely different.
Most of the people were in the courtyard, and there were not many guests left in the living room. The host, Brother Jiu, stayed with the guests and did not go out.
At present, the only elders left are Prince Zhuang, Sunu Beizi and Qi Xi.
Sunubeizi has always been very popular, but when she saw Prince Zhuang, she still had a droopy face, fearing that he and Brother Jiu would choke, so she stayed there, hoping to be a lucky man.
Qi Xi is self-aware and knows that compared with these clan members, he is a "foreigner". If the uncle and nephew really want to confront each other, he is not qualified to persuade Prince Zhuang, but he can stop the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu had a good temper and was not annoyed when he saw Prince Zhuang's droopy face. He carried the teapot and went to Prince Zhuang's seat. He said respectfully: "Uncle Wang, my nephew will give you some tea. Can you come over, nephew?"
It’s really decent!”
Since thirty-eight years, there was a lawsuit between the two families, and this was the first time Prince Zhuang came back.
The previous exchanges of favors were all done by Prince Zhuang Fujin himself.
It was really unexpected that Prince Zhuang came here in person today, and it gave the ninth elder brother dignity.
This is an elder.
Prince Zhuang snorted coldly, looked at Brother Ninth and said, "What? You are good at posting, but I can't come?"
Brother Ninth has been working as a cadre for several years and has seen a lot of people. He also knows that some people are just shy and cannot say good things well.
If a brother of the same generation dared to do this in front of him, he would be furious, but now this is his cousin, a close prince, and Prince Fujin has always been close to the couple, so he will not care about Prince Zhuang.
Brother Jiu then said: "Aren't you talking about my shabby nephew? My nephew is so moved. It's all because of Uncle Wang's generosity. He doesn't care about my nephew. He even came here to cheer me up today!"
Prince Zhuang's face showed disgust, and he waved his hands and said: "What a big face! I have inherited your filial piety from Fujin. I am a cannibal and short-tongued. It has nothing to do with you!"
In recent years, Dongzi vegetables in winter and watermelons in summer are from Prince Yu's Palace, Prince Gong's Palace, and Prince Zhuang's.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Then we are really similar. My nephew also misses my aunt. Among so many aunts, my aunt is the most loving to the younger generation. You are also taking advantage of your aunt."
Already..."
Prince Zhuang: "..."
He rolled his eyes and didn't want to speak.
Disgusting, who are you talking to?!
Did you forget it was the two of you when you slapped yourself in the face?
If it weren't for my own efforts, I wouldn't have come!
But who said it was three elder brothers who were knighted this time? If the three families don't go, what will the emperor think?
Having been cousins for half his life, he knew who was the calf protector.
If we go to Chengjun Prince's Palace and Dunjun Prince's Palace but don't come to Jiubele Palace, then Jiu Age is so petty and vindictive that he doesn't know how to deal with it later.
If you go from three families to two, and only skip the middle ones, you will feel that your elders are not generous when talking about it from outside.
The tenth elder brother is not stingy, and he goes crazy when the ninth elder brother is involved. If he really doesn't come today, he will be embarrassed by the ninth elder brother. Later, when he goes to Dunjun Prince's Palace, he will also be shameless.
Will Prince Zhuang care about it when the time comes, or will he not care about it?
It's embarrassing both inside and outside.
Sunubeizi was by the side, and after hearing everything, he felt at ease.
This ninth elder brother really looks like an adult now. He no longer behaves stupidly and treats others tactfully.
Qi Xi, on the other hand, knew that Brother Jiu was not being tactful and should be telling the truth.
Thinking about the big and small events here in the past few years, Prince Zhuang Fujin has indeed not been left behind.
Whether it is Prince Zhuang Fujin who is sincerely loving to the younger generation, or whether he is looking for support for Prince Zhuang, this is good.
Brother Ninth should be grateful...
The atmosphere in the room was getting better, and Brother Jiu didn't have the patience to stay any longer.
Everyone was playing outside, and even in the living room you could hear the cheers in the yard.
Someone hit five out of five!
Don't know who it is!
Seeing this, Sunubeizi said: "There are many guests outside. Master Jiu, please don't stay in the house. There are no outsiders here."
Brother Jiu immediately said: "Then you guys can drink tea slowly while I go for a walk outside..."
When the ninth elder brother went out, Prince Zhuang looked at Qi Xi and said: "Such a son-in-law is not enough for you to worry about..."
Qi Xi said: "Master Jiu is not tactful in his dealings with others, but his victory lies in his sincerity, which is very rare."
Prince Zhuang curled his lips and said: "You are really good at talking. No wonder you are dignified in front of the emperor. When did being lack of heart turn out to be your advantage?"
Sunubeizi said: "Ninth Master is very rare. Can he be the emperor's 'loved son'? Among so many princes, the fifth and ninth masters are the only ones with such true temperament..."
Prince Zhuang raised his eyebrows.
The fifth elder brother was raised by the Queen Mother, so he had a solid mind. This ninth elder brother was raised by Concubine Yi herself, so how could he not be so smart?
Although he had never met Concubine Yi, he had heard from Fujin that Concubine Yi was a smart person, otherwise she would not have been his beloved concubine for more than 20 years.
If you don’t follow your father or your mother, who will your ninth elder brother follow?
*
In the yard, the ninth elder brother was circling around the eldest elder brother.
"Brother is so awesome!"
The ninth elder brother has tried it before, and he has also seen Shu Shu, the tenth elder brother and the fifth elder brother have done it before. He knows that it is not easy to shoot for money.
I thought that my eldest brother had been drinking too much in recent years and had neglected his archery skills. However, he turned out to be one of the best among the brothers.
The eldest brother had already handed the bow to the thirteenth brother. He was not impressed and said to the ninth brother: "It's not difficult to shoot from such a small distance, as long as you are familiar with it..."
He is a bit older than everyone else, and has practiced archery for more than ten years. He has practiced with all kinds of targets, so it's nothing.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Brother is too humble. I, Fujin, tried this morning and only got two hits. Your fifth high school is probably unique today."
The eldest brother did not nod, but looked at the thirteenth elder brother, and then at the tenth elder brother.
Brother Thirteen concentrated his attention, but the hanging target was an inch square of money, so no matter how strong or small it was, it would not work.
The result was three out of five shots.
The thirteenth elder brother lowered his bow and looked at the eldest elder brother with more admiration and regret in his heart.
The eldest brother has actually caught up with the good times. He has caught up with the three expeditions to Junggar. However, the status of the eldest son of the emperor is too restrictive. No one dares to really use him as a vanguard general. Even if he is excellent in riding and shooting, it will not matter.
Room to play.
At this moment, the ring competition between Prince Gong and Prince An also came to an end.
Prince Gong won. Not only did he get a gold pocket watch, but he also won two fine horses from Prince An.
Seeing the eighth elder brother and the second elder brother of Prince Anjun nearby, Prince Gong handed the pocket watch to the second elder brother of Prince Anjun and said: "If I get your two good horses in vain, I will reward you with a gold watch!"
"
The second elder brother of Prince An is the legitimate son of Prince An, and is the descendant of the Tong Jia family of Fujin. He is eighteen this year and has not invited the crown prince yet, but he has gone out with Prince An to socialize on weekdays.
Others are about to get married at this age, but this one has a young birthday. Her face is still a bit childish, but she looks honest and well-behaved.
The second elder brother glanced at Prince An and saw him nodding, so he took it with both hands and said: "Thank you, Wang Bo for the reward..."
Prince Gong glanced at the eighth elder brother again and said: "I thought you were clever earlier, but you have become dull in the past two years. There is no overnight feud between father and son. After being scolded, you can't hide at home all the time. You can run to the emperor more frequently."
Come on, please forgive me a few more times, the emperor loves his son the most, how can he argue with you?"
The eighth elder brother knew that these were all good words, so he said with gratitude: "My nephew is thinking wrong, thank you Uncle Wang for your advice."
Prince An looked at the eighth elder brother and said: "I can no longer stay at home, so the ninth elder brother raised the flag. As for the clan flag affairs and the like, you, as an elder brother, should still help.
Teach, teach…”
The eighth prince also responded respectfully...
Prince Gong and Prince An returned to the living room. The eighth elder brother handed the second elder brother to several elders in Prince Gong's mansion, and then went to talk to the Duke and General of Zhenglan Banner.
Prince Gong and Prince An woke him up.
If he continues to feel sorry for himself and loses his dignity as a royal, no one will remember him as the eighth elder brother in two years.
The Thirteenth Brother is now about to replace him.
Then there is the Zhenglan Banner. He laid down the flag four years earlier than the Ninth Prince. If he just goes silent and hands over the power of the Zhenglan Banner to the Ninth Prince, he will really become an ordinary clan in the future...
