Chapter 455: Punishment, not etiquette (second update)
Report privately?
The third elder brother glanced at the corner of his eye.
Next to Khan Ama stood Wei Zhu, the eunuch who served as a pen holder, and Liang Jiugong was waiting beside him.
At the cabin door, stood Ma Wu and another guard.
There are indeed more people.
What's the secret behind this?
Just as he was thinking about it, the eighth prince had already looked over and said: "Khan Ama, would you like to ask the two brothers to step aside?"
The third elder brother was anxious after hearing this and just wanted to speak.
Kangxi already nodded and said: "Yes!"
After that, he waved to the third elder brother and the seventh elder brother and said: "You guys wait outside!"
The third elder brother can't hold it in anymore. What's the reason?
Eunuchs and guards don’t need to avoid it, but their brothers are asked to avoid it?!
He still wanted to dawdle, but the seventh elder brother responded, turned around and went out with a "kick, kick, kick, kick".
Kangxi and the eighth elder brother both looked at the third elder brother.
The third elder brother did not dare to say anything and said with a smile: "Then my son will also go out and wait..."
After that, he also withdrew.
When he reached the cabin door, his steps were a little slow.
The cabin door is also outside.
As a result, Ma Wu and another guard were all looking at him eagerly.
The two of them were wearing yellow mandarins and carrying knives. They were tall and thick-looking.
The third brother had to take a few steps away from the cabin door.
Where is Lao Qi?
The third brother looked around and found that there was no one on the deck at all.
The seventh elder brother had already disembarked from the royal boat and went to the escort team again.
The third elder brother had no choice but to dare not linger at the door and was several feet away.

in the house.
Kangxi looked at the eighth prince with a cold expression.
The eighth elder brother saw this and became more and more worried. He did not dare to hide anything. He started at noon when the eighth elder brother came over, and it was only now that the fifth elder brother came to admonish him.
"I don't blame Fifth Brother for being upset. This matter is really too embarrassing. If word of it gets out, it will not only hurt Jiu Fujin's dignity, but also affect our brotherhood..."
The eighth elder brother bowed his head and said: "It's not that my son is defending Guo Luoluo. Ever since she lost her child during the Lantern Festival, Guo Luoluo has been suffering from hysteria. My son didn't dare to force her to get off the boat at noon. That's why her son was afraid and she really wanted to throw herself into the water..."
"
His face was pale and his voice was vibrating.
Kangxi's face was livid, and he stepped forward and kicked him.
Because Brother Eighth was kneeling, he kicked him right on the chest.
The eighth prince was kicked away and fell to the ground, with a look of pain on his face.
His chest hurt, and there was throbbing pain when he breathed.
"Asshole!"
Kangxi couldn't help but cursed: "This is not the first time, but the second time. You know that someone is not suitable, but you don't arrange it properly, and you still let her catch up?!"
The eighth prince looked sad and said: "It's because my son is incompetent and can't restrain his wife..."
Kangxi's eyes were probing, and he said: "Is it because you can't restrain me, or because I am the prince's elder brother and I have always been kind to you, you have lost respect for me?"
The eighth prince hurriedly kowtowed: "My son doesn't dare, my son doesn't dare!"
Kangxi's eyes were filled with dark clouds: "Don't you dare? I asked you to discipline Fujin last winter. Did you discipline him? Are you unable or unwilling?! You are afraid of offending brother Anjun Wang and do not dare to strictly discipline your wife. Then
Aren't you afraid of me?"
How could the eighth elder brother dare to listen to such heart-wrenching words? He immediately said: "Khan Ama, it's my son who has been thinking about it. He thought that Fujin had been neglected since childhood and had no relatives except his son. The son couldn't bear to be harsh because he was afraid of ruining the couple.
Qingfen, thinking that when Fu Jin comes in, she will be more mature and sensible..."
Kangxi snorted coldly: "If you don't blame me harshly, then I will blame you on your behalf and tell Guo Luoluo to go back to the capital and don't be an eyesore here!"
After saying that, he looked at the door and wanted to call someone.
Seeing this, the eighth prince quickly begged: "Khan Ama, my son is asking for an order. My son will send Guo Luoluo back to the capital right away. I beg Khan Ama to leave some dignity for my son!"
If he really wanted to have the guards mention Prince Fujin in full public view and forcefully send him back to the capital, then the couple would not have to lose their face.
Kangxi sneered: "At this time, do you think of the union of husband and wife? When Guo Luoluo was bullying others, you didn't remember your dignity. When it was her turn to be punished, you remembered your dignity?"
The eighth prince blushed and was speechless.
Kangxi thought of Bafujin's words and felt disgusted on his face.
It's really like the women of Prince An's palace, and they will be involved in the relationship between men and women.
In order to sow discord between the eighth prince and his wife, Prince An's Taifujin deliberately spread rumors that the ninth prince and eighth prince were not innocent.
Nowadays, the Guo Luoluo family casually slanders the Dong E family's character because they hate that their sister-in-law is favored by their elders.
Stupid and vicious.
Kangxi could no longer tolerate it and couldn't hide his disgust, saying: "Send him directly to Prince An's Mansion and hand him over to Prince An and his wife for discipline. If Prince An still can't discipline him, then don't become the prince!"
He made the final decision.
The eighth prince didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he agreed honestly.
Kangxi looked at the eighth prince and said: "This is the second time, there is no third time!"
There was no warmth in his voice.
The eighth prince kowtowed and said solemnly: "My son knows that there will never be a third time!"
Kangxi originally wanted to drive the eighth prince back together, but he thought that the princes he brought with him had their own shortcomings, and the eighth prince was always a make-up.
But if he is not punished, he will feel uncomfortable.
He thought for a while and then said: "The property that was divided a few days ago will be moved to an imperial village and a shop to supply the ninth elder brother and his wife!"
The industrial distribution at that time was actually based on how many people there were.
Needless to say, the elder brother followed the example of Prince Gong and Prince Chunjing.
From the third prince to the eighth prince, the knighthood was only Baylor, which was actually from the king's rule.
On the contrary, even if the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were planning to separate their households, their respective properties would be halved without a formal title.
The two people on the left and right are still young and do not need to provide too many servants.
The deficient property will be completed after the two people officially divide their estates.
It wasn't that Kangxi was partial, but that he had to be cautious when dealing with his tenth elder brother.
The delay in ennobling nobility, leading subordinates without distinction, and reducing the share of property by half are all for the sake of preservation.
Fortunately, the tenth elder brother was aware of this and did not have any dissatisfaction over the matter.
Only the ninth elder brother was ignorant. He probably thought that the prince's inheritance was divided according to his title, and he would be satisfied with his own share.
But he didn't want to think about it. They were all princes and elder brothers, and the An family's money was all one body. Naturally, this industry would not be divided into different grades.
The eighth prince was stunned.
You must know that the property divided seems to be a lot, but the expenses of Baylor Mansion are also large.
"Huh? You don't want to?"
Kangxi's face looked a little ugly.
The eighth elder brother shook his head hurriedly and said: "My son is willing, my son is willing! When my son got married, the ninth elder brother gave him 3,000 taels as supplement. When he got married, his son should have reciprocated the gift. This is just for the son's back-up!"
Kangxi's face became increasingly ugly.
"This is compensation. It's due to Mr. Guo Luoluo's unbridled speech. It's not a favor!"
Mr. Dong E is a loose person, and Brother Jiu is also sincere. If he really wants to treat it as a favor and give it as a gift, he will find an opportunity to return the favor.
The eighth elder brother was extremely embarrassed and said: "It was my son who was wrong. My son will make it clear to the ninth elder brother and nine Fujin. This is the gift of apology!"
He is not stingy, he is just young and vain and wants to maintain dignity in front of his brothers.
"My words were sent to me as an apology, so they can only accept it and have no right to refuse!"
Kangxi said.
"Yes, my son has remembered it!"
The eighth prince looked respectful, but felt extremely miserable.
Khan Ama warned him again and again, was he afraid that he would not give Laojiu his property?
Khan Amma really loves his son, but it is a pity that it is not him who is partial to him.
His heart felt chilly, but he did not dare to delay and retreated from the imperial palace.
He remembered clearly that the fifth elder brother mentioned it and Ba Fujin went to the Queen Mother's boat.
If she dares to disobey the Queen Mother again, she will not be able to end it by paying for her property.
The Eighth Prince walked in a hurry.
The third elder brother is already scratching his head with waiting.
He thought about it in his mind and couldn't guess the reason.
Is there something that fifth elder brother knows about, eighth elder brother knows about, but he and seventh elder brother don't know?
Seeing the eighth elder brother coming out, looking like he was about to get off the boat, the third elder brother hurriedly took a few steps and took the eighth elder brother's arm.
"What's going on? Why are you leaving now?"
The third elder brother asked quietly.
The eighth prince's face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold when he looked at the third prince.
Third Brother's "friendship" today was kept in mind.
The third elder brother did not let go, and said with a smile: "I am doing it for your own good, but this is not a good precedent. If the elder brother can teach the younger brother casually, then won't you elder brothers at the bottom of the ranking suffer a big loss?
"
The eighth elder brother hid his cold eyes, lowered his eyelids and said, "Then brother really wants to thank third brother for his friendship!"
The third elder brother said "haha" twice: "It's just a little effort, nothing, nothing... what on earth is going on? But there is something wrong with Lao Wu, let you know, is he threatening you to keep silent? Or is Lao Ninth again?
Are you naughty?"
He had just been thinking about it on the deck for a long time and could not think of anything else. He could only think of these two possibilities.
The eighth elder brother looked away and said: "Third brother, don't ask, my brother still has some errands to attend to, so go first!"
After that, he bypassed Third Brother and got off the boat.
The third elder brother touched his chin, thoughtfully.
Are you letting yourself guess?
It's not that there's something wrong with Lao Ba, but that there's something wrong with Lao Wu?
Just like Lao Wu, he doesn't seem like someone who can do bad things.
What is the reason?
*
The Queen Mother was sitting on the pier next to the boat.
Bafujin felt the cold wind blowing for a quarter of an hour, feeling wet and cold in the joints of his bones.
The ferry board that boarded the ship at the pier was empty before, but now there were four guards standing there.
Four people stood sideways, blocking the several-foot-wide ferry board.
It was the fifth elder brother who asked someone to guard it when he came back just now.
It is self-evident who he is guarding against.
Ba Fujin's face turned pale and he was extremely embarrassed, and said: "Mommy, let's go, I don't believe that the Queen Mother can still stay away from people if there is a commotion..."
They were all working together, controlling the Queen Mother and preventing others from moving forward.
If he left in such a dejected manner, he would become a joke.
Auntie hesitated for a moment and said: "Gege, how about you listen to Master Ba and wait a few days and ask Master Ba to come with you? The Queen Mother will not care about you if she looks at your grandson."
Ba Fujin sneered and said, "Doesn't that show disrespect? Since you want me to be respectful, how can I still be disrespectful on the first day? It's a shame that I can't bend down. Otherwise, I could learn from that pug and have already won the favor of the Queen Mother!"
"What pug? Do you want to get a dog?"
It's Sanfujin who's here.
The master and servant of Bafu Jin were all focused on the Queen Mother's boat and did not notice anyone coming behind them.
Ba Fujin turned around and looked over, and saw San Fujin smiling like a spring flower.
San Fujin's wish came true. He followed his third elder brother on a southern tour, and he didn't have to be on the same boat as his mother-in-law. It was the time when the spring breeze was triumphant.
As for why I wasn’t surprised when I saw the Eight Fortunes?
That's naturally because I was surprised at noon.
When Bafujin got out of the car with his nanny, someone saw Sanfujin.
Later, the eighth prince came back in a hurry, and Sanfujin understood the reason.
She can understand what Bafujin did.
If we don't follow him, let the man go out for three or four months, and put a princess next to him, then when he comes back, there will be two people instead of three people.
But Ba Fujin felt that San Fujin's smile was dazzling. He glanced at the Queen Mother and asked, "Why didn't Sister-in-law San catch the big boat instead of taking the small boat?"
San Fujin smiled and said: "A big boat is as good as a big boat, and a small boat is as good as a small boat."
If she was really allowed to go on Concubine Rong's ship, she would feel heartbroken just thinking about it.
How good is this now?
She was free and easy, and took the time to say hello, just to show her filial piety.
Even if the third elder brother went to the spare royal boat during the day, he would return to his own boat to rest at night.
The cabin was not big, but since she was the master, the cabin was quite spacious, so she didn't find it inconvenient.
Ba Fujin snorted lightly and said with contempt: "You are also the prince Fujin from the Dong E family, and the third sister-in-law is willing to be overshadowed by others? When it comes to elders and younger ones, the third sister-in-law is at the forefront!"
San Fujin had a strange look on his face. He looked Ba Fujin up and down and laughed.
"Eighth younger brother and sister, you'd better stop saying anything to sow discord in the future. It doesn't sound right to your ears..."
"You don't have good intentions towards Jiu Fujin, but you don't look down on me either..."
"How can I look at your face and listen to your instigation?"
