As soon as the news came out, several of the kids looked at Xiao Liu with envy.
The prince's haha beads are a promising future.
Now I am reading and playing with him. When I grow up, I will be sent as a military attache or follow the prince as a bodyguard.
Xiaoliu's little face shone with anticipation: "If I go to the palace to study, won't I be able to eat royal food?"
Shu Shu thought about the identity of the fifteenth elder brother. He was born from a concubine and was included in the younger elder brother. He was not among the "Kowloon's successors". There was also a brother who succeeded him as an iron hat. His status as a companion was very important. Safety.
Thinking of this, Shu Shu couldn't help but look at Xiao Wu and decided to urge him to study hard in the future.
Among my younger brothers, the fourteen-year-old Zhuliang, who has been promoted to the fourth rank as a senior official, has now entered the Eight Banners Right-wing Official School, and his classmates are all noble children who have inherited titles or secular positions; the twelve-year-old The twins, Xiaosan and Xiaosi, are studying at Zhenghongqi Official School, and they will fill the vacancy when they reach adulthood; Xiaoliu, who is seven years old, will be able to fill the role of a bodyguard at best by virtue of his status as the prince's companion.
Even Xiao Wu, who is nine years old, has all his places in the government school taken up by his brothers, so he can only study at home. His future career will be more difficult than that of his brothers.
Xiao Wu, who had no worries at that age, would never have thought of this. He grinned at his sister, revealing a dark hole, and quickly pursed his lips again.
This hot pot meal lasted until the end of the day.
Shu Shu didn't leave in a hurry. After all the brothers left, he talked about being prosecuted today.
Qi Xi's face was gloomy: "This ignorant little brat actually bullied you? Leave it alone and leave it to Amma..."
Shu Shu was afraid of this. If adults came forward, either the matter would become a big deal or the matter would be resolved. He quickly pulled Qi Xi's arm: "Amma, don't come forward, just pretend not to know... We can't suffer, we have to do it." Peel off a layer of his skin..." As he spoke, he whispered his plan.
Qi Xi frowned, not happy: "Why do you have to show up and deal with it yourself? Amma can't protect you anymore?"
"If it's Guidan alone, then of course Amma will show up... But it's not that I'm holding the ninth elder brother behind me. There are differences between the monarch and his ministers. How can we tell who is Ding and Dingmao? When it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will seem Ama is so domineering that even the prince’s brother doesn’t take him seriously..." Shu Shu hurriedly tried to dissuade her.
The emperor's power is increasing day by day. Qi Xi also understands this truth and is worried after all: "If it doesn't work out, I'll ask the fifth master to say hello... I can't let the boy from the Guo Luoluo family kidnap the ninth elder brother and do whatever he wants..."
Shu Shu thought for a while and agreed: "That's right, but don't worry... Amma should pretend not to know for now, and then use the name of 'Goddaughter Wu Fang' to accompany the fifth elder brother after the lawsuit is over..."
Qi Xi couldn't resist his daughter and reluctantly agreed, but he decided not to use it in the name of "having no way to teach his daughter".
Everything about my own Dagege is good, so what’s there to fault?
It was obviously that bastard Guidan who was "taking advantage of others". If the fifth elder brother didn't discipline him himself, he would "help" to discipline him.

Three days passed by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye it was March 19th, the day when the Beicheng Military and Horse Division opened a court to investigate the case.
As the so-called "divided rule between banners and civilians" means, the Eight Banners' military and civilian judicial system has its own system, and it does not go through the county or government like other civilians.
In the inner city of the capital, ordinary disputes between bannermen are handled by the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities. Those involving houses and land are handled by the Eight Banners Department of the Household Department. Criminal cases are handled by the Yamen of the Infantry Army Dutong, and those involving the clan Jueluo Gui In the Zongren Mansion, litigation between the two banners is tried by both banners at the same time.
The Eight Banners only had a small population, either by in-laws or old friends, so not many could actually go to the stage of filing a lawsuit.
The old and young men who were idle nearby carried caged birds and rushed over to join in the fun as if they were going to a big fair, which also attracted many passers-by to stop.
An old man came with a birdcage and followed the flow, and he was a little curious: "Shun'an Silver Building is in a lawsuit? Isn't that the shop of our Madam Zhenghongqi Dutong? Who has taken the courage of a leopard?"
A slightly younger banner man next to him answered: "Ha! In this capital city, there are all relatives of the emperor and the country, so what do they count? There are three banners per banner, a total of more than twenty..."
The old man was proud: "That's not an ordinary Tutong, it's the Dong E family! Not to mention our Zhenghongqi, even the Eight Banners are all worthy families. The cousin is the male, the younger brother is the uncle, and the clan has several hereditary leaders, and for several lifetimes Marriage with Prince Kang’s Mansion…”
Another well-informed response: "The defendant is not bad, but the plaintiff is bad? The person who submitted the complaint is the grandson of the Sanguanbao family of Xianghuang Banner, the nephew of the concubine in the palace..."
There was a lot of discussion, and some people lost their sense of proportion when they spoke: "How do the Guo Luoluo family educate their children? They don't know the importance... Is the Dong E clan something they can offend?"
The girl in the big red flag dress was attracted to watch the fun when she heard "Guo Luoluo family". After hearing this, she became angry and said loudly: "The Guo Luoluo family is the royal family, and can also be called relatives of the emperor." , the Dong E family is so rampant that they don’t even take the prince’s maternal family seriously?”
"..."
No one answered, and there was a moment of silence.
Whose little aunt was parading in the street, surrounded by girls and guards, and went directly to Dong E's house?
I haven’t heard of anyone who has a feud with Qi Xi’s family?
Why are you so rude?
In the back hall of the Yamen, Jin Chengbi, the commander-in-chief of the North City Army and Horses Department, was wearing a sixth-grade tonic, but his brows were deeply "sichuan-shaped", with a somewhat bitter look.
Can it not be bitter?
Not only is my heart hurting, but I also want to cry!
The court was about to start, but he still refused to give up. He looked at both the plaintiff and the defendant and said earnestly: "Since we are all here today, there is no need to explain it in court. Maybe if there is any misunderstanding, I can explain it first..."
In the back hall, there is a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.
On the east side is a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, slightly thin in stature, with slender auspicious eyes, raised chin, and an arrogant expression. He is the ninth elder brother Yinzhen who Shu Shu has met once and calls himself "Er Master Jin" , a fat man named Gui Dan, wearing a brand-new guard uniform, stood behind with several guards.
Shu Shu on the west side is wearing an ultramarine river silk shirt, a brown Shu brocade cloak, and four-inch-high flowerpot-soled flag shoes. She can look down on the people across from her just because of her size. Behind her are Fu Song, Shopkeeper Hou and others.
Qi Xi originally wanted to bring along the housekeeper or staff in the mansion, but Shu Shu refused. Since she wants to pretend that the elders of Dong E's family don't know, she should pretend to be more presentable, so she is the servant she arranged herself.
Brother Jiu was half a fist shorter and felt uncomfortable at first. When he saw Shu Shu's clothes clearly, his eyebrows darkened.
Wearing shirts!
Brother Ninth didn't like to be like others, so he didn't use the azurite blue commonly used in men's clothing, but used a brighter color.
In order to appear stable, Qiansheng Shushu abandoned the delicate colors commonly used by girls such as pink and light purple, and instead chose neutral colors.
There are also accessories. Brother Jiu's hat is made of coral. Shu Shu only has one piece of jewelry on her head, which is a coral flower. This is another coincidence.
The coral on Shushu Tuanhua is bigger than Jiu Age's! The color is just right!
Their clothes and accessories matched each other, and they both had oval faces. At first glance, they looked like siblings.
Of course Shu Shu is the elder sister, and Brother Jiu is the younger brother!
Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu with disdain: "It's neither fish nor fowl!"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Ninth's position, gave him a light look, and said slowly: "Second Master Jin is quite self-aware!"
Is the prince's brother amazing?
The losers in the "Kowloon Seizing of the Progeny" are pitiful people who can't even keep their names in addition to their clan status.
Brother Jiu didn't expect that Shu Shu would dare to reply and have such an uncomfortable look in his eyes. He just felt offended and frowned, very unhappy: "If you mess with three points unreasonably, you will only be sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued. Another day When you meet Mr. Qi Xi, you should ask him carefully, this is the upbringing of the Dong E family..."
Shu Shu shook her head, sighed, and said with some sympathy: "The upbringing of my Dong E family comes from the mistresses of the past generations, who told us to 'don't speak what is inappropriate', but it seems that the second master Jin has not learned this etiquette, and he just happens to encourage you. !”
"you!"
Brother Jiu's face turned red from being blocked. What if he wasn't sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued? Is it hurtful to curse someone without using curse words?
The mistresses of the Dong E family in the past generations were either princesses or eldest daughters. She did make a mistake just now, but this Dong E family didn't suffer at all and scolded her right back.
Even if she couldn't guess her identity the last time they met, she really thought she was a cousin of the Guo Luoluo family, but she didn't know it later?
Later, when Gui Dan was inquiring about other shops in the Drum Tower, he used his own banner, but he was still intercepted by Dong E's shop!
He asked her for a shopkeeper, but she refused to give him one, and he didn't care about it. Instead, she held a grudge. How could this make sense? !
It is said that Manchu women are tough, but that was before entering the customs. Among the sisters-in-law and sisters whom Brother Ninth had come into contact with, which one did not show virtuous and virtuous virtues on his face?
This is the first time I have seen someone as unruly and rude as Mr. Dong E!
Even if the Shun'an Bank is in her name, if she encounters such a major lawsuit, instead of suing her parents, why not just use her big money to go to the Yamen to respond?
Shu Shu didn't take Brother Jiu's anger seriously. The more obvious the hatred was, the more constraint he felt.
When the time comes, Brother Jiu dares to target Dong E's family, which is to take revenge for personal gain.
Instead, he had this serious rift with Brother Nine. In the future, if the "Baye Party" tried to win over people, they would not be able to win over Dong E's family.
The conductor pointed out that Jin Yingbi was being ignored, with a sneer and a bit of embarrassment.
Even if mediation cannot be achieved, the only option is to hold a court hearing.
When Jin Chengbi took the scribe to the front of the hall, only Shu Shu and Jiu Age were left in the back hall. Someone had already brought a chair to the front, and they took their seats.
Seeing that Shu Shu still looked calm, Brother Jiu sneered: "The business is not clean, and you are still stubborn with me! This sign is difficult to make, but easy to destroy. Others are afraid of your father-in-law and don't dare to reveal it, but I am not afraid... …”
Shu Shu couldn't help but be curious and glanced at Brother Ninth several times. It wasn't until Brother Ninth was about to get angry that he asked, "Er Master Jin, have you not read "The Rules of the Qing Dynasty"?"
