Chapter 488: I am the backbone (first update, asking for monthly votes)
When the tenth prince left the building, he walked a little unsteadily.
Wang Changshou and Wang Ping'an were guarding him, fearing he would fall.
Now that he was out of service, Prince Fujin stayed to drink, and the tenth prince drank honestly.
This is the passion of the Mongolian people, and their feelings are all in the wine.
What I drank was kumiss brought from Mongolia.
The tenth prince tasted a bit tangy, astringent and bitter when he drank it.
Worse than any wine he had ever drank.
But looking at Buyin Gege's smiling face, he felt that the wine was bitter but tasted sweet afterward.
Served with grilled lamb chops, it tastes just right and relieves fatigue.
Half a bowl at a time, Taiji persuaded him to drink several bowls in total.
Brother 10 also paid special attention to the fact that Bu Yingge drank this as if he were drinking water.
He is a grown man, he cannot be inferior to Ge Ge.
There's nothing wrong with drinking, I'm just tipsy.
But when he came out of the inner hall and saw the wind, Brother Ten felt a little superior.
He was light and fluffy, but he was still happy, and he told Wang Changshou and Wang Ping'an: "Don't wait, hurry up, go to the second house..."
This is because my mind is clear, and I can't wait to share the joy with my good Ninth Brother.
When Wang Chang'an and Wang Baisui saw this, they went to Donghua Gate to help him.
There are horses prepared at the guard's office over there.
Because the Forbidden City is so big, it's fine on weekdays, but walking in rainy and snowy weather is a pain.
Therefore, during the reign of Emperor Shizu, he was given the grace to Prince Heshuo and Prince Duoluo to ride horses in the Forbidden City.
But you can only go through Donghua Gate or Xihua Gate.
Moreover, riding a horse can only go to the front court and cannot approach the inner court.
When you don't reach the Qianqing Gate, you have to dismount and walk to the Qianqing Palace.
In that case, the journey can be reduced by half.
The tenth prince is a prince. Before being ennobled, his treatment was similar to that of a prince. Naturally, he was also qualified to ride horses in the front court of the Forbidden City.
The people at the guard office saw that the man was drunk and hurriedly went to fetch the horse.
When the 10th prince got on his horse, several guards surrounded him and entered the palace.
If you take the west route, you can go further north and dismount in front of Longzong Gate; if you take the east route, you have to dismount at Jianting.
Near the arrow pavilion, the tenth prince was helped off his horse
Brother Ten opened his eyes and glanced at the leading guard. He was a first-class shrimp, and he looked familiar. He seemed to have gone to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find He Yi, and he was He Yi's sister-in-law.
"From the Niu Hulu family?"
The man was twenty-seven or eight years old. He looked tall and majestic and looked like a warrior of the Eight Banners. He nodded with a smile and said: "Master Ten, I am the Bose of the Eighth Fang, and Duke Zhongyi is my great-grandfather!"
The eighth branch of Niu Hulu's family is the branch of Zhongyi Gong Turge, the eighth son of Eyidu, the founding hero of the country.
That was originally the head of the Niu Hulu family, and Turge also had the blood of the Aisin Gioro family. His biological mother was a princess and the cousin of Emperor Taizu.
After Eyidu passed away, Turge became the new head of the Niu Hulu family, and according to the custom of the time, he adopted his stepmother and cousin Princess Mukush.
This Princess Mukush is the great-grandmother of the 10th Prince.
After Turg's death, the Duke was still in the eighth room, and was attacked by Turg's son Cobuso.
Later, a big mistake was made, and the title was transferred to the sixteenth clan, which was the clan of the tenth prince's grandfather, Ye Bilong.
Turg had two sons. The eldest son died in the war. He had no sons, but he was left with a title of the fourth rank. He held the rank of Bullhafan and had the title of left leader. This was regarded as leaving a title for the eighth house, so that he would not be in vain.
Therefore, the children and grandchildren of Bafang are all descended from Cobuso.
In terms of blood relationship, this person should be called the tenth elder brother's cousin now.
Brother Ten felt strange in his heart.
Before, I didn't think there was anything wrong with changing the title of noble.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
My cousin's title came from his father and his ancestors. However, in order to please his superiors, he criticized his father after his death and lost his title.
It seems that he deserves it.
But after experiencing this generation of transfers, Brother Ten finally understood.
This kind of reduction of rank for unclear reasons was probably motivated by the superior's intention.
Otherwise, how about a big family, a good leader, and a change at the drop of a hat?
In the previous generation, the head of the Niu Hulu family was changed from the nephew of Emperor Shizu to his own cousin.
It is also because the Niu Hulu family is so powerful that the royal family prefers someone close to them to be the head of the family.
What about this generation?
Both his uncle and Aling Ad are cousins of Khan Amma, but the Duke has also changed.
Because my aunt is from the Hesher family?!
Because Aling'a married Concubine De's sister and became half-brother-in-law of the emperor's father?
Brother 10 felt that he seemed to have touched some pattern.
He smiled and said: "That's not an outsider. I remember coming over to my brother's wedding banquet in the second grade of junior high school to join in the fun!"
Bose smiled and said: "I must go, I wish you congratulations in advance. I wish you and Shifujin to grow old together and have many children and grandchildren!"
The tenth elder brother was happy when he heard this, nodded and said: "Then I will accept your good advice!"
As the two talked, they stayed here for a while.
At this moment, several eunuchs came out of Yuqing Palace and came over with their chariots.
It turned out that the prince got the news and knew that the tenth prince was drunk and rode into the palace, so he sent someone to deliver the chariot.
It's not his chariot, it's a spare one from Yuqing Palace.
"Tenth Master, the Crown Prince has sent a servant to take you back to my elder brother's house..."
The person who came was the eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace, and he said respectfully to Brother Ten.
The tenth prince was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face. He just nodded and said, "Please, Prince Edward, please bother me..."
He did not refuse the kindness and was helped onto the chariot by the people around him.
This place is not far from Yuqing Palace. Some palace servants with keen eyes saw it before and went to report it to the prince. Only then did the prince send someone here.
Because we were taking the east road, we used the corridor all the way to the north until we reached the entrance of the Imperial Garden, then passed through the Imperial Garden to the west and entered my elder brother's house.
When we arrived at the entrance of the second house, Brother Ten stopped.
The tenth brother was still a little wobbly when he walked, and he knocked on the door with a bang.
Cui Baisui, the eunuch of the second house, heard the noise and trotted out to open the door.
"Where's Ninth Brother..."
As Brother Ten said, he was about to walk to the backyard.
Cui Baisui hurriedly supported him and said: "Master Ten, our master is in front..."
He Yuzhu heard the news and came out of the main room in the front yard. When he saw the tenth brother, it was like meeting a savior.
"Master Ten, you are here..."
The tenth brother saw that he looked wrong and rubbed his face vigorously. His mind became clearer and he said, "What's wrong with the ninth brother?"
He Yuzhu whispered: "I'm angry. I'm feeling uncomfortable. I haven't even eaten dinner."
With that, he told what he had seen and heard about his trip to Nancheng in the afternoon.
"What do you think Master Ba is thinking? Indulging the people below him to act like monsters?"
In the end, he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Eighth Prince.
The tenth prince frowned, said nothing, and entered the study.
Brother Jiu was still sitting behind the bookcase, leaning on the chair, motionless.
There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were looking at the roof not knowing what to think.
His eyes moved when he heard movement at the door.
The tenth elder brother came in and did not speak in a hurry. Instead, he sat directly on the south kang. He picked up the teapot and shook it. When he saw that there was still water in it, he picked it up and poured it into his mouth.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu took a few steps and pulled the teapot out of his hand.
"Why can't you wait for a moment? What kind of cold tea should I have?"
While he was talking, he smelled the smell of alcohol on Brother Ten's body, took two steps back in disgust, and called He Yuzhu: "Make a pot of new tea, and then ask the kitchen to make a bowl of hangover soup!"
Brother 10 rubbed his temples and said: "There is no need to sober up the soup. What I drink is kumiss, which tastes sour..."
Brother Jiu also sat by the kang and frowned: "Why are you going to the inner hall again? There are only a few days left and you can't wait?"
It doesn't look like she wants to marry Fujin, but it looks like she is going to be a son-in-law for the Mongols.
The ninth elder brother was a little lucky that the tenth elder brother married the feudal prince Gege. If the Eight Banners Princess was the one guarding the capital, he would probably stay at his father-in-law's house.
Brother 10 said with a "hehe" smile: "My brother went to tell Princess about going out!"
The tenth prince grinned, shook his head and said: "Either you are returning home or going out. There is no need for the 'returning ceremony'. When leaving the capital, the carriage can just stop at the inner hall."
Brother Jiu heard something was wrong: "Okay, why are you out of Beijing?"
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Let's go out to Beijing with Ninth Brother. Is Ninth Brother happy?"
Brother Jiu immediately stood down from the Kang and said: "What, going out to Beijing with me? How can that be done? How can you leave the bride and go out on the second day of a wedding? If word spread, I would think you would ignore it.
Did you just run away, Fujin?"
The tenth elder brother said: "Let's go out together. My brother won't run away. It just so happens that my brother took Gege to pay tribute to Khan Amma and the imperial grandmother..."
Brother Jiu quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't mess around, just stay in Beijing!"
I had reported it to the emperor, but if I really wanted to go there, I would risk being reprimanded.
Coupled with the tenth prince and his Fujin, the scolding will definitely not go away.
"Brother Ninth, my younger brother went to tell Prince Fujin and Princess Tongge today. Princess is very happy..."
The tenth elder brother's face was full of pleading.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Humph! I am very unhappy!"
When he was interrupted by the Tenth Brother, he ignored the previous frustration and glared at the Tenth Brother and said: "At this time, you are really quick to talk!"
The tenth elder brother took the opportunity to please him and said: "Isn't this a rare opportunity? If you miss this one, the next time the Holy Emperor will tour the south will be another ten years, and not everyone will be able to follow him by then..."
Brother Jiu sat down again, feeling helpless, and said: "I really want to come out at the same time, this is too tight, I will think about how to go..."
His original plan was to travel with light chariots and simple servants, accompanied by guards, two horses and two saddles, traveling one hundred and twenty or one hundred and fifty miles a day, so that he could catch up with the holy cavalry in twelve to fifteen days.
If we were really traveling with the Tenth Prince and his wife, and there was an extra girl, it would be different after all.
The tenth brother hurriedly said: "Brother Ninth, there is no need to change the plan. According to the previous plan, Gege brought the mount and the younger brother also brought the horse. There will be no delays on the way."
Brother Jiu told him: "There are official posts along the way, so take care of food and accommodation, and don't bring too much luggage..."
The tenth elder brother said: "Well, it belongs to my younger brother Xiao."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Anyway, if you two dare to mess around, then I will go first..."
Brother 10 responded with good temper.
He couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Brother Jiu spoke in a lively manner, as if he could really endure the hardship.
I just hope that he will be well and not be delayed on the road due to the fatigue of the car and horse.
As for me and Ge Ge, we can walk quickly or slowly, since they are both in the same place anyway.
As for the unhappiness at the front door today, Brother Ten did not ask further questions.
There are some things that he has to figure out on his own.
As he was thinking this, Brother Jiu spoke up, patted his chest and said, "I've been stuck in my heart for a long time, and now I feel more comfortable."
The tenth elder brother looked at him.
Brother Ninth snorted coldly: "This is simply unreasonable? I finally understand, Brother Ba... He has never looked down on me in his heart. I guess in his heart, I am just a fool who is good for nothing and can be coaxed by a few nice words!"
Brother Ten's face was full of surprise.
Brother Ninth, you seem to be quite smart today, you actually thought of this.
Brother Jiu glared at him: "Do you think your brother and I are a fool in your heart?"
The tenth elder brother hurriedly said: "How could it be? In my heart, the ninth elder brother is honest with people."
Brother Jiu's face drooped and he smiled bitterly and said: "If Brother Baz really values me as a brother, how dare Mr. Guo Luoluo treat me lightly? How dare his nanny and sister dare to challenge me? I know the principle of 'love the house and the bird'..."
It was because he had deceived himself and others before, always explaining the problem to the eighth prince, thinking that it was someone else's fault and had nothing to do with the eighth prince.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
But comparing one's feelings with one's own feelings...
He had previously thought that the people in Dutong Mansion were ordinary, and thought Qi Xi was smooth and worldly, while Luo Shi was hard-spoken and had lost his softness; his brothers-in-law had ordinary talents and were not very clever; Fusong was thief-minded, but also clever.
But half a year after the wedding, he felt that his father-in-law was cunning on the outside and naive on the inside. He was a model of morality and actually gave up the title passed down by his ancestors. His mother-in-law was not an ordinary woman. She had a broad mind and acted grandly, so she raised Fujin like this.
Good; several brothers-in-law have good character, which makes people reassuring; Fusong has some of Fujin's character, he is thoughtful, smart and outstanding compared to his peers.
Because he was close to Fujin, he was also willing to get close to Fujin's relatives.
Fujin also took the lead, was filial to his elders, and was close to his brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and sisters-in-law.
They are also uncles, so I treat the fifth brother comfortably, and the tenth brother is the closest to me, because I value them the most.
In this comparison, what else does Brother Jiu not understand?
Even among relatives, there is still snobbery.
The eight blessings are rampant, but they have never been rampant enough to reach the elder brother.
The tenth elder brother did not comment on the eighth elder brother, and only said: "When you grow up, it is different from when you were a child. When you were a child, a few kind words and a few pieces of cake were enough to establish friendship; when you grow up, you have to go through things before you can understand friendship.
Far and near..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, if I don't take care of things, I will still bother the boss and the fourth child!"
Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth will learn a lesson from now on. When others say nice things, just listen to them, and then talk about the situation after comparing it."
Brother Ninth asked curiously: "Bago doesn't have much dealings with you on weekdays, so why did he offend you?"
These words were a reminder to the ninth elder brother, but they also questioned the conduct and character of the eighth elder brother.
Brother Ten shook his head and said, "I'm not offended, I just think Brother Bago is a bit cool and snobbish..."
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Since when did he become cold and snobbish? Brother Bage is the most gentle and kind among the brothers in front of me, and he is not as arrogant as others."
The tenth elder brother pointed to the west and said: "Among the courtyards of the elder brothers here, the eighth elder brother is the eldest, and he treats us like a good brother, but what about the twelfth elder brother?"
Three younger brothers, treated equally, what else is it but snobbishness?
But because their brother is the son of a concubine, the son of a noble concubine, and the son of a concubine over there.
Brother Ten had never paid attention to these before, but after he started paying attention, he discovered the difference.
Brother Ninth thought for a while, but still felt that this conclusion was unfair, and said: "Brother Twelve is usually so dead and deserted, who wants to talk to him? This is not bad for Brother Bage, we live with Brother Twelve.
Isn’t it the same these years?”
The tenth brother said: "What about the concubine of Wei? In terms of the identity of the harem, she is the concubine of Khan Amma; in terms of close relatives far and near, she is the biological mother of Eighth Brother. The eight blessings follow the etiquette, rules, and no disrespect.
Room, why did you dare to wait so long in the beginning?"
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "This can't be blamed on Bage, right? Isn't it a misunderstanding? The two princesses behind are the cousins of some concubines..."
How can it make sense for a woman to be petty and jealous?
Especially the Eighth Fortune Jin, if they lose their upbringing and follow their emotions, they would not be in this situation.
The tenth brother sneered and said: "No matter how misunderstood she is, she is Bage's biological mother. She was treated poorly by the daughter-in-law who just entered the house and became a joke in the harem. If Concubine Yi is replaced, how can Ninth Brother watch?"
Brother Jiu immediately shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Filial piety is the duty of a human being, and no one can disobey it!"
If Shu Shu dared to do that, he would not be the Shu Shu he is now. As a son of man, he would not tolerate this.
The tenth elder brother said: "Yes, the eighth brother was feeling uncomfortable and depressed at the time, and he even had a drink with the ninth elder brother. What did he do after that? He didn't do anything. Who is this unfilial person? He can have many daughters-in-law, but he is the only son.
!”
Brother Jiu couldn't say anything to defend himself.
He remembered what Shu Shu had mentioned, that there was such a person who sought perfection in everything and wanted to be recognized by others.
They habitually ignore people who treat them well, and are more willing to please those who treat them badly.
Treat relationships between people as if they were strategies.
After completing the strategy, they will conquer the next target.
Always wear a mask.
It's called "pleasant personality."
It seems that Myna's behavior is indeed a bit close to the norm.
Seeing that he was unhappy, Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth, don't be angry. Tell Sister-in-law Ninth later and ask Sister-in-law Ninth to find a way to help you vent your anger!"
This is about the gold and silver shop being renamed.
After spending more than half a year together, Brother Ten realized that Shu Shu's temperament was not stingy, but there were limits to this generosity.
When she is willing to be generous, she is generous. When she is not willing to be generous, there is no way for others to take advantage of her.
The gold and silver shop was making money, but Sister-in-law Jiu did not expand in order to preserve Brother Brother-in-law's reputation and leave room for others.
Otherwise, if you eat a solitary food, you will also be left talking about it.
Can she watch Babeile Mansion take advantage?
Even the eight blessings who were promoted to the ninth sister-in-law were defeated repeatedly; the nanny sister who didn't know the so-called nanny was even worse.
Brother Ninth raised his eyelids, looked at Brother Ten, raised his chin, and said disdainfully: "I am so worthless? Do you have to rely on your sister-in-law when something happens? I am the backbone, why should she worry about this?
…”
"Huh? What did Brother Nine do?"
Brother Ten was surprised.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It's just a trivial matter. I just sent someone to smash the sign and reported it to the official!"

Qianmen Street.
In front of Qianjin Square, many people gathered around to watch the fun, pointing and pointing.
The brand-new plaque has fallen to the ground. It is not broken into pieces, but it is still badly damaged.
There are two seals posted in front of the door, which are the seals from the Daxing County Government Office and the Infantry Command Office.
Daxing County and Wanping County are two counties affiliated with Shuntian Prefecture in the capital city.
Qianmen Street is the central axis, with Daxing County to the east and Wanping County to the west.
This silver shop is located halfway east of Qianmen Street...
