After lunch, the group came out of Qingyue Tower.
It's already early afternoon, and it's time for dinner.
The third elder brother and his wife and the fifth elder brother and his wife also came out of Wanbao Pavilion and arrived here.
Because of the roads, they also walked from Wanbao Pavilion, and the carriage should have been parked in a nearby open space.
Compared with yesterday, San Fujin didn't put as much effort into dressing up, and the hair on his head was only half a hair.
The jeweled armor and the high and low flag shoes with tassels were also replaced by ordinary ones, otherwise to the Jiangnan people, they would look like opera singers.
Wu Fujin did not wear a hairpin, but had his hair in an ordinary bun with two tulle flowers in it.
Seeing Brother Ninth and his party coming out, Third Brother was surprised and said: "Didn't you say you were going to Taihu Lake? You're back so soon?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I'm back. They're all big rocks and there's nothing good to see."
He was in a hurry to go back, and had no intention of continuing to chat with the third elder brother. He greeted the fifth elder brother, his wife, and San Fujin, and took everyone away.
The third elder brother saw the ninth elder brother walking in a hurry, and muttered to the fifth elder brother: "What do you mean by the ninth elder brother? Is he afraid that he will leave late? Let's let him know the account?"
The fifth elder brother glanced at him and said: "He is the elder brother. When he brings the younger brother out, he will know the accounts. The third elder brother is the elder brother. How can he use others to know the accounts?"
The third elder brother didn't feel right hearing this.
If that means, the lunch at noon is yours?
Does he have some pain?
This is not just a table. The four of them also brought two guards, maids and eunuchs, which totaled about thirty people!
This requires four tables!
But what followed were the guards from Shangsanqi, all of whom were noble sons. After being released, they would become high-ranking members of the military. Is it possible to book a table while the others wait outside?
*
Changmen is not far from Zhizao Mansion, and everyone was back in less than two quarters of an hour.
At the gate of Zhizao Mansion, Shu Shu and Shi Fujin got off the carriage.
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
Brother Ninth also happened to look at her.
The couple faced each other.
Brother Ninth felt a little regretful. In fact, it was not less than half an hour or an hour. Should he visit Ji's quarry before coming back?
Fujin wanted to see the stone before.
What should I do if I don’t see the stone?
He said: "Go back and take a good lunch break. Let's go to the night market in the afternoon."
Shu Shu thought that she had to bring guards with her every time she went out. Their flag attire was also quite unusual among the crowd, so she lost interest and said: "Send someone to buy it. I am impatient with the crowd and afraid of noise..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, I'll send Sun Jin to buy some for dinner."
Shu Shu and Shi Fujin held hands and took their maids back to the West Garden Courtyard.
Brother Ninth Brother did not go to the imperial court immediately. Instead, he looked at the three of them and said, "This matter concerns the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I just asked, so as not to appear abrupt. There is no need for you to get involved."
Brother Ten said: "We bumped into each other. We can't tell the difference at this time."
Brother Thirteenth said: "Since the reputation of Khan Amma is at stake, Brother Ninth cannot sit idly by and ignore it, and neither can we."
The fourteenth elder brother also said: "Anyway, we saw it, go, go, go!"
Brother Jiu stopped talking and took the three of them to the courtyard where the Holy Master was stationed.
Before the ninth elder brother called for help, he saw the eighth elder brother and Pingjun Prince Nerfu walking out of the main room.
The ninth elder brother glanced at Neerfu. Although Neerfu was the junior, he was actually one year older than the eldest brother because he had a brother. In his early years, he was just the second son who did not inherit the title. He lost his father when he was young, so he was given the grace to enter the palace and work as his eldest brother's companion.
This companion reading is different from Haha Zhuzi. Studying in class with the eldest brother is considered a favor to the clan, which is equivalent to being raised as one with the prince.
It turns out that this boy is lucky, because he is the second son of the county king, and he was named Beizi at the age of fifteen.
As a result, he became the county king within a few years.
His brother attacked his father's title at that time. He was cruel and beat innocent people to death. He was dismissed from the title. The title of Prince Ping was transferred to Nerfu.
"Ninth uncle, tenth uncle, thirteenth uncle, fourteenth uncle..."
Nerfo was very respectful, treating several uncles who were younger than himself as if they were distinguished guests.
Just come to the imperial court at this time...
Brother Jiu asked directly: "When you came to the imperial court, were you summoned by Khan Amma, or did you come by yourself?"
They came back from Taihu Lake and went to Qingyue Tower for dinner. The chief of ceremonies at the Prince's Palace felt something was wrong and came over to report to Nerfo?
Neerfu showed shame on his face and said: "My nephew came to the emperor to plead guilty, and the control was not strict, and the people below did stupid things!"
Brother Jiu's expression turned ugly and he said, "I've reported everything to the emperor. Honestly, there's nothing else to hide?"
Nerfu was surprised and said: "Aside from misappropriating the ship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what else did the slave do?"
Brother Jiu didn't care whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused, and said: "Then let's talk to the emperor, so as not to waste my saliva by saying it twice."
Nerfu looked at the eighth prince with a look of surprise on his face.
The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Perhaps there is some misunderstanding? Why don't we call the king's nephew to ask?"
The ninth elder brother glanced at the eighth elder brother and said, "The eighth elder brother doesn't know the cause and effect, how do you know it's a misunderstanding?"
The fourteenth elder brother, who was standing by, also said: "Yes, yes, Bago, you have always been thin-skinned and easy to talk to. Was it because you were deliberately dragged here by Nelf?"
At this point, he glanced at Nelf and said: "You can't kiss me even if you're not close! Do you think that if you hold myna in front of you, myna will be biased towards you? Myna is not stupid!"
Eighth Prince: "..."
There was an uncomfortable feeling. Did Fourteen say that on purpose?
Nerfo: "..."
It sounds serious.
Nerfu felt that the princes and elder brothers were making too much fuss. He made the mistake of transporting the stones at the wrong time.
But if it’s reported, that’s fine. What else can be done?
He didn't feel guilty and said, "Then just listen to Uncle Jiu."
At this moment, movement at the door was also heard inside.
Liang Jiugong was ordered to come out, looked at Brother Jiu and the others, and said with surprise: "Master Jiu wants to see you?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Trouble with the truth."
The fourteenth elder brother said hurriedly: "Not only the ninth brother, please see me, but also the three of us."
Having said this, he pointed at Nerfo and said: "There is still him, but the rightful owner cannot run away!"
Liang Jiugong was confused, but he didn't say anything. He bowed and turned around to go in.
Others were fine, but Brother Eight was beside him, but his heart was in turmoil.
Brother Jiu called Liang Jiugong "Shuida"? !
This is not wrong either.
In his early years, when he was still a young prince, he would also call the eunuchs this way when he met them.
When did you change your tone?
It seems to be the time when I left the study and followed the guard to attack Zhun Geer.
In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi...
He thought very clearly at the time that he was no longer a little brother, so naturally he had to follow the lead of his brothers.
But Brother Jiu is seventeen this year and he hasn’t changed his tune yet!
When Liang Jiugong talked to Brother Jiu, he was obviously more familiar with them.
The eighth prince regretted it in his heart.
In the early years, the relationship between Brother Jiu and Yu Qian was not so close.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising that the emperor's father made him the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it became common for him to meet with the emperor.
In just a moment, Liang Jiugong left and came back, saying: "The Emperor has spoken, and the Ninth Elder Brother, the Tenth Elder Brother, the Thirteenth Elder Brother, the Fourteenth Elder Brother, and Pingjun Prince Nertu are here to meet you!"
Everyone responded and followed Liang Jiugong in.
The eighth prince is left alone.
His expression remained unchanged, but his fists were clenched, but he did not stay any longer, but walked out.
It's hard to find a way to make amends.
Standing still like this is not the way to go.
Just as he was thinking about it, his eunuch hurried over with a letter in his hand and said, "Master, a letter from the mansion has arrived!"
The Eighth Prince paused and said, "Didn't I get a few letters from the Ministry of War when I came here the day before yesterday? Why do I have them again now?"
He had been ordered to go to Hangzhou and Jiangning to check on the local pick-up preparations. He had been on the road, and even if he had letters from the capital, he had suppressed them and hadn't read them yet.
It wasn't until he came back earlier that he asked someone to pick up a few letters from the head of the carriage and horse department.
The eunuch whispered: "The manager sent someone to deliver it in person, there is no military department."
The eighth prince shut his mouth and almost guessed the reason.
Yaqib has always done things properly.
This was sent privately without a letter from the Ministry of War. There must be something difficult to say in the letter.
He was a little panicked.
It was true that Fujin made him uneasy again and again.
He endured his anxiety and did not rush to look.
When he returned to the small courtyard of the west garden and entered the north room of the east wing, he directly pulled out the envelope.
It's a handwritten letter from Yaqib, and it mainly talks about two things.
The first thing is that at the end of February 8, Baylor House became a defendant.
Because the name of the Yinlou signboard was different from that of Jiufujin Yinlou, Jiu Age was furious. He not only sent people to destroy the sign, but also sent people to the Infantry Command Yamen to submit a complaint to sue the Yinlou of Baylor Mansion for "imposter".
There was no way to make this matter a big deal. In order to ask Brother Ninth to withdraw the lawsuit, Yaqibu agreed to transfer the shop at the front door to Brother Ninth as compensation.
The second thing happened on the third day of March. Fujin sent someone to submit a complaint to the clan government, suing his uncle Ming Deng, the head of the Guo Luoluo clan, for embezzling their property, and asked the clan government for a thorough investigation.
Beizi Sonu accepted the complaint and began to ask people to investigate the case.
The mother of Bafujin was Heshuo Gege. Although his father was executed for his crime, his status was not changed and he was still the consort of Heshuo.
The lawsuit related to this couple can indeed be submitted to the clan mansion.
Brother Eight read the letter and had a splitting headache.
What's up with the former sign? !
Extremely stupid!
Haitang had said to him before that the silver shop in Jiufujin was good. Among the properties allocated in the first month, there happened to be a shop with a front door.
Haitang talked about wanting to open a silver building.
At that time, he was thinking that he would use this to give favors to his family in the future, and it was cheap to open one.
For this reason, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs before leaving Beijing for the second time, and entrusted the matters of Baylor Mansion with Brother Jiu.
At that time, he was stingy and had some bad intentions.
But I never expected that Haitang would dare to use the same name to build a silver building? !
Brother Ninth is the most straightforward person. I am afraid that if he sees him, he will only take it as a provocation. How can he stand this?
Looking at Fujin's lawsuit next, it's even more ridiculous.
Not to mention that family scandals should not be made public, even if there is real encroachment, if Prince An comes forward, can Ming Deng still refuse?
She was a married girl with a generous dowry. Even the prince Fujin was not qualified to interfere in the distribution of her mother's family property.
It would be okay to say that she has a brother from the same mother, or that she has a good relationship with two concubine brothers.
In fact, there was no contact.
So what's the point of this lawsuit?
After being married for more than half a year, Brother Ba also knows a little about his wife's temperament.
Paranoid, you get what you want.
This must be because Prince An did not agree with her to reveal the matter or pursue the matter, so she wanted to go to the clan mansion.
It harms others but does not benefit oneself.
The reputation is also ruined...
