The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu held the tea cup and looked at the red dates and wolfberry inside. 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 and threw it into his arms, saying: "Use this to wipe it, Mi Tai will die! Knife."
The Thirteenth Brother grabbed the handkerchief and said in a tearful tone: "Brother Ninth... I'm just scared. Now that I think about it, I still feel like my chest is tight, as if my mother-in-law 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 could it be Fang?
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?
Starling? !
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 hadn't 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. When you look back one day, you can’t think about it anymore and stab me twice. Is 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 his mouth, then hesitated and said, "Can't you say it in front of Khan Ama?"
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 how a big tree attracts the wind.
After all, a concubine was deposed. 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! Knife."
The thirteenth elder brother nodded, stood up, and said, "Then my brother will leave first."
He had scruples in his heart, and he didn't want to stay here for a long time. He was afraid that he would attract other people's attention to Brother Jiu, so he happily left the palace and returned to Changchun Garden.
Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face.
I accidentally did something good.
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 everyone will 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 gotten involved, Thirteenth 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?
This is a good change.
The more the merrier!
Brother Jiu was so proud that he told Shu Shu about his concerns and said, "I didn't take this favor, so as not to save others from thinking that I love you."
Likewise, he doesn't intend to push it on his wife.
I'm afraid that if Khan Ama 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 favor?
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 the emperors Kangxi and Yongzheng to the Thirteenth Brother.
The couple don't need to talk about this favor, it's just a petty thing.
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 Lao Ten comes back for dinner. If he doesn't come back, tell him to go together in the afternoon."
He Yuzhu responded.
Shu Shu thought about the distance to the Zongren 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 to ride a horse 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 would look bad, and it would seem that 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 tie up our legs..."
After a while, He Yuzhu came back and said: "The tenth master is back and he is eating. 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, holding on to Brother Ten's sleeves in a sticky manner, looking up and talking to Brother Ten.
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's not polite to come directly to the door. I will make an appointment with Sister-in-law Jiu in advance."
The tenth elder brother said again: "Didn't you ask the kitchen to make butter fruits today? You can give some to Sister-in-law Ninth to try..."
Shi Fujin hesitated and said: "But this is the first time the restaurant has made it, and it didn't look good. It was all burnt..."
Brother Ten said: "It's okay. Maybe Sister-in-law Ninth's girl can ask someone to fry more authentic butter fruit if she sees it."
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 keep being sticky? Even under the bright sun, you don't mind getting too hot..."
Brother Ten 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!"
Ninth Prince: Teeth.
This doesn’t sound quite right!
But this is a brother-in-law, not a brother.
The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother angrily.
It's all because of the old ten. She looked like an honest fat girl before.
Now I am still fat, and 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 refers to the fact that Shifu Jin came from afar and was not familiar with the noble women of his clan.
With Shu Shu by his side, he wouldn't have to worry. It would be convenient to ask Shu Shu to teach 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 treat me 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 is beyond the reach of eight poles. Why do you think of asking this?"
The tenth prince hesitated and said: "In the palace, it is said that Mrs. Dong is vicious and beats the palace people to death, but outside it is said that Ms. Zhang bullied Ms. Dong and made 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 in Changchun Palace before lunch, and knew that he had misunderstood it first.
Dong is indeed guilty, but not for the current crime.
As for the nun next to her, being disrespectful to the concubines was a death penalty.
This is also related to Zhang Pin's reputation. If it had been anyone else, Brother Jiu would have been confused.
But if you are asking the 10th Prince, then there is nothing to hide.
He told the inside story of the incident in Changchun Palace.
"I've only seen it in the story book 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 story book says, 'Words are like knives.' Those heart-wrenching words she said are... The 'Word Sword' forced my concubine to want to die..."
Speaking of this, he lamented: "I met him a few times in the early years. 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 said disapprovingly: "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 all nonsense..."
The tenth prince's expression softened slightly.
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 was also hanging around 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..."
The tenth brother felt awkward and said: "Ninth brother, 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".
