Brother Jiu held the tea cup and looked at the red dates and wolfberry in it. It was no longer sweet even when he drank it.
He looked at the Thirteenth Brother with swollen eyes, rolled his eyes, and said: "Don't you call yourself Batulu? Why are you still crying? Are you shabby or not?"
Brother Thirteen stretched out his sleeve and wiped it on his face.
Brother Jiu curled his lips in disgust, took out a handkerchief from his purse, threw it into his arms, and said, "Use this to wipe it, and Mi Tai will die!"
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here.]
The Thirteenth Brother grabbed the handkerchief and said in a tearful tone: "Brother Ninth... I am just scared. Now that I think about it, my chest still feels tight, as if my mother has really left..."
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said, "Isn't this all in the past? I'm so lucky that you will also benefit from it!"
So the one that Fujin mentioned above is not square, does not count!
How can it be square?
That's because other people's fortunes are poor and they can't resist his strong fortune!
Thinking of this, he touched his chin and suddenly felt strange.
I have encountered a lot of things this year.
It’s true that no matter who confronts him, the outcome will be bad.
The prince’s brother is no exception!
Unlucky, besides the third child, who else seems to be here?
Myna?!
He swallowed, feeling a little confused.
Seems a little guilty.
Brother Thirteen said in a hoarse voice: "Anyway, from now on, Brother Ninth will be your younger brother, and Sister-in-law Ninth will be your sister-in-law..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Stop chirping. The more you talk, the more outrageous you are. You dare to say anything. Look back carefully and I will kick you! If this had not happened, I would no longer be your brother. You Jiu
Isn’t my sister-in-law your ninth sister-in-law? It’s just a coincidence. Don’t talk about this or that. A great favor turns into an enmity. One day you can’t think about it anymore and stab me twice. Was he wronged or not?”
Brother Thirteen hurriedly said: "That's not possible, my brother is not that kind of person..."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Who cares about you? Anyway, this hater doesn't recognize me. Don't go out and talk nonsense. Then it will look like I am the cause of trouble."
Brother Thirteen hurriedly shut up, then hesitated and said, "Can't you say it in front of Khan?"
Brother Jiu nodded without hesitation and said: "Well, if I don't say it, I'll just turn it over. It's just a coincidence. It's your blessing and my concubine's blessing."
The thirteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with gratitude on his face.
He is not a child of a few years old, and he knows the principle of a big tree attracting wind.
After all, after deposing a concubine, who knows whether the Dong family will hold a grudge or not.
Ninth Brother is invisible to everyone and doesn't like to be in the limelight. Perhaps this is Ninth Brother's way of protecting himself.
Brother Ninth was wiped away by his tears and felt goosebumps rising. He pushed Brother Thirteen and said, "We still have to go back to the garden. Don't delay. Go back as soon as possible!"
The thirteenth elder brother nodded, stood up, and said: "Then my brother will leave first."
He had scruples in his heart and did not want to stay here for a long time. He was afraid that he would attract other people's attention to Brother Jiu, so he left the palace happily and returned to Changchun Garden.
Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face.
I did something good by accident.
Good.
But as he just said to Brother Thirteen, he didn't want to have anything to do with this matter.
Otherwise, if others look back and realize that it was you who was "Fang", then your reputation as a "Fang person" will be ruined.
When the time comes, I'm afraid everyone will hide from you and hate you!
But when he returned to No. 2 for dinner at noon, he still showed off well in front of Shu Shu.
"Do you think we are Shisan's reborn parents?"
Brother Ninth said proudly: "If we hadn't got involved, Thirteen would have lost his mother at some point, and he would have been a poor little boy by then..."
Shu Shu listened with bright eyes.
Are these butterfly wings?
Such a change is good.
The more the merrier!
After Brother Jiu was so proud, he told Shu Shu about his concerns and said, "I won't take this favor, so as not to accumulate it later and make others think that I love you."
Likewise, he doesn't intend to push it on his wife.
I'm afraid that if Khan Amma finds out, he will think his wife is meddlesome.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I did the right thing. After all, this is related to the inner court. I don't want to be conspicuous at this time."
As for kindness?
Who is that?
That’s Brother Thirteen!
He was the Thirteenth Prince of Chivalry who devoted himself to death after being favored by Yongzheng!
Xia is the comment given by emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng to the Thirteenth Prince.
The couple don't need to talk about this favor, it's just a commonplace.
This favor was greatly appreciated!
But Brother Jiu still felt a little uncomfortable.
He didn't tell Shu Shu. After dinner, he told He Yuzhu: "Go to the third house and see if Old Ten is back for dinner. If he comes back, tell him to go together in the afternoon."
He Yuzhu responded and went.
Shu Shu thought about the distance to the Clan's Mansion and said: "It's not a close trip at noon, it's much farther than the House of Internal Affairs..."
Brother Jiu thought about it and said, "How about asking Lao Shi to ask Khan Amma for permission to ride horses in the Forbidden City? In that case, we can save half the distance..."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Forget it, didn't I say that the emperor is staring at the clan and the Eight Banners' cavalry and shooting? That doesn't look good, and it seems like the Tenth Master is lazy."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "It'll be fine when we move out. At least we can take a car to move around without having to rely on our legs..."
After a while, He Yuzhu came back and said: "The tenth master is back and he is having dinner. He said he would be waiting for me at the door before the second day of the new year."
Brother Jiu nodded, there was still nearly an hour left, just enough time for a lunch break.
The study was cool and cool, and the couple had a good sleep.
At the end of the second day of the new year, Brother Jiu left the second house feeling refreshed.
The tenth prince is already at the gate of the third school.
Shi Fujin was also there, and Nian Nian Huhu was pulling the sleeves of the tenth prince, looking up and talking to the tenth prince.
Seeing the ninth elder brother coming out, the tenth elder brother said to Shi Fujin: "You go back and rest, I'm going to the clan mansion..."
Shi Fujin whispered: "I'm not sleepy, can I go to Sister-in-law Jiu to be naughty?"
Brother Ten thought for a while and said, "Then I need to send someone over first to see if Sister Ninth has time..."
Shi Fujin nodded hurriedly and said: "I know, I know, it would be impolite to come directly to the door. I will make an appointment with Sister-in-law Jiu in advance."
Brother Ten continued: "Didn't you ask the kitchen to make butter fruit today? You can give some to Sister-in-law Ninth to try..."
Shi Fujin hesitated and said: "But this is the first time the dining room has made it, and it doesn't look good. It's all gone..."
Brother Ten said: "It's okay. Maybe Sister-in-law Ninth's girl can ask someone to fry more authentic butter fruit after seeing her."
Shifujin immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll get it in a moment..."
Brother Jiu stood a few feet away, watching the two of them biting their ears. He was already impatient and said: "Okay, how long can you stick to the lake? I don't mind being exposed to the sun even under the bright sun..."
The tenth prince said in a good temper: "Here he comes."
Shi Fujin smiled, glanced at Brother Jiu's umbrella, and said, "Brother Jiu, I'm not afraid of the sun! I can't get a tan either!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
This doesn’t sound quite right!
But this is a brother-in-law, not a brother.
The ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother angrily.
It's all because of my old age. I looked like an honest fat girl before.
Now I am still fat, I have a bad temper, and I dare to say anything.
The road was not the place to talk, so Brother Jiu just chatted and said, "Peng Chun's funeral will be held in a few days, shall we go together?"
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, let's go together, otherwise my brother will be worried."
This means that Shifu Jin came from afar and was not familiar with the noble daughter Juan of the clan.
With Shu Shu by his side, he wouldn't have to worry. It would be convenient to ask Shu Shu to guide him and recognize him.
When he arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the tenth elder brother stopped smiling and showed hesitation on his face.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu stopped talking in a hurry and said, "Why do you feel so unhappy when you didn't behave well just now? Is it because the people in the Zongren Mansion are disobedient, or is it someone else?"
Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth, I want to ask about Changchun Palace..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and asked curiously: "It's a relationship that's beyond our control, why do you think of asking this?"
Brother Ten hesitated and said: "The palace said it was Dong who was vicious and beat the palace people to death, but outside it was said that Zhang concubine bullied Dong, making her depressed and crazy, so she killed someone by mistake..."
The ninth elder brother had just heard the thirteenth elder brother tell the inside story about the incident at Changchun Palace before lunch, and knew that he had misunderstood it first.
Mr. Dong is indeed guilty, but not for the current crime.
As for the nun next to her, being disrespectful to the concubines is a death penalty.
This is also related to Zhang Pin's reputation. If it had been anyone else, Brother Jiu would have ignored her.
But the question is about the tenth prince, so there is nothing to hide.
He told the inside story of the incident at Changchun Palace.
"I've only seen it in the storybook before. I didn't expect that there are such vicious people in the inner court, who almost drive people to death. It's so bad. No wonder the storybook says 'words are like knives'. Those heart-wrenching words she said are...
'Word Sword' forced my concubine to want to die..."
Speaking of this, he lamented: "I met him several times in the early years, and he seemed to be an elder with a quiet personality. I didn't expect him to be like this in private..."
The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Didn't the ninth elder brother also hear the speculation from outside? Are you so sure that Zhang Concubine's mother is not at fault?"
Brother Jiu disapproved and said: "Why am I worried about that? Who is Zhao Chang? I have been busy for two days and can't find out whether it is true or false? Are you stupid when you think Khan Ama is stupid, or are you stupid when you think Hui Concubine is the mother?"
Concubine Zhang was not punished in any way, but moved the palace. Doesn’t this prove that those words outside are nonsense..."
Only then did Brother Ten's expression soften.
Brother Jiu felt something was wrong and said: "Why are you asking this? You don't believe it, do you? Are you stupid? We can't deal with my concubine, but there is Lao Shisan there, who also had sex last year
A few months old, what kind of scheming do you have? Compared with the old fourteen, he is just a little darling. With his temperament, from son to mother, the character and conduct of this concubine are not much different..."
Brother Ten felt awkward and said, "Brother Ninth, there are still people who look at people like this?"
We have all heard that "from father to son" and "from mother to daughter", this is the first time I have heard of "from son to mother"...
