Everyone looked at Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes with pride on his face.
But when the words came to his lips, he remembered the three-month restriction again and immediately covered his mouth.
Anyone can tell there is something fishy like this.
The eldest brother narrowed his eyes and felt his hands were itchy.
Fourth Brother's brows also furrowed even more.
Brother Ninth noticed something was wrong, his eyes moved wildly, and he said hurriedly: "The 'grounding' is real, really real. From now on, my brother will not come out..."
Having said this, he said: "My aunt is still in court, and I want to go to the West Garden to see. My brothers are busy first..."
As he spoke, he wanted to escape.
The eldest brother grabbed him by the collar and said, "Don't worry, let's talk about it first, what's going on?"
The third elder brother also said: "Yes, everyone cares about you so much, and you are still hiding it. It's not very honest!"
Is Khan Amma going to reward the prince with money again?
It shouldn't be relevant, so what good thing happened to him?
Like a mouse that stole sesame oil.
Brother Si didn't say anything, but he also moved his steps and blocked the road ahead.
Brother Thirteen glanced at Brother Ten.
The two younger brothers also had a tacit understanding. One hugged the eldest brother's waist, and the other hugged the eldest brother's arm.
The eldest brother was startled by the two of them and let go.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was still standing stupidly, the tenth elder brother pushed him and said: "Run!"
Otherwise, with so many brothers asking questions at the same time, Ninth Brother might not be able to hide it.
Brother Jiu came to his senses and ran a dozen feet away before stopping and raising his voice: "The maximum limit is two months. Brothers, if you feel sorry for your brother, please prepare some money to comfort him. The more the merrier..."
He was thinking about the land purchase in Xiaotangshan and was waiting for his brothers to come back.
It just so happens that we can take advantage of the "ban" to get some money out first.
After Brother Jiu finished shouting, he went to the West Garden.
Princess Shuhui and Princess Rongxian returned to the court, and the grandson and grandson were placed in the West Garden tonight.
It is in the side hall next to the Queen Mother's Danboweide Palace.
Brother Ninth is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it makes sense to go over to pay homage to the eldest princess.
The others didn't move, but Brother Fourteen couldn't hold himself back and trotted after him.
"Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth, can't you really say that?"
The Fourteenth Brother became smarter and said, "Did Sister-in-law Ninth not let you say it?"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Then why are you asking? Do you want to be beaten?"
The fourteenth elder brother said "haha" twice: "I won't ask, brother, but what about collecting the money? Is the ninth brother short of money? Can the younger brother and the thirteenth brother help you get it together?"
Brother Jiu was a little hesitant after hearing this.
This collecting money is not just collecting money.
At present, he has limited money in his hands, and he really can't swallow up much land in Xiaotangshan, so he wants to move around to buy it.
The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.
He didn't intend to speak to anyone else, even Yu Qian and his brothers.
But brothers, he really didn't think of it before...
Opportunities are rare, and I don’t know when the next time I will be able to make such a sure profit.
It's not good to leave my brothers behind.
Compared with the brothers who have been knighted, these half-grown brothers are in the most difficult situation.
Brother Jiu has been tight-lipped before, so he knows how uncomfortable it feels.
He muttered: "Then let's do our best and tell Brother Twelve about it later."
As for the fifteenth prince and below, forget it.
It was too small, and there was not much money in total.
When they grow up and need money, it will be more than ten years.
Brother Fourteen nodded in agreement, but felt a little worried.
How big a hole is this?
The money you borrowed from your brothers is not enough, so you still need to borrow it from them?
He had no intention of lingering anymore, and watched Brother Jiu enter the West Garden before turning back.
At this moment, all the princes and elder brothers also came from the small east gate.
The eldest brother looked sideways at the tenth and thirteenth brothers and said, "Okay, I know how to sneak attack!"
The tenth elder brother said flatteringly: "Brother, the ninth elder brother has his own reasons for not telling me. You will know later."
The Thirteenth Brother smiled and said: "Brother Ninth is so proud, there is no need to ask in a hurry. I think Brother Ninth will say it himself in a few days."
The eighth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother.
Because of the age difference, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother did not move much before.
Now it looks like a group of people.
When did you start getting close?
Thirteenth Brother moved to Qianxi Tousuo?
The closer we live, the more we get along with each other.
Many years ago, it was the same with him and his ninth and tenth elder brothers.
Thinking of this, Eighth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps when the ninth prince and the tenth prince come out of the palace and live next to each other, they will naturally start moving around.
Seeing Brother Fourteen coming back again with his head hanging down, everyone just assumed he had gone over to ask questions.
The fifth elder brother said: "If he doesn't want to say it, don't ask. If he tells it later, he will know."
Brother Fourteen nodded, pulled Brother Thirteen and said: "Brother Thirteen, let's go back, I'm hungry..."
The accompanying princes are temporarily staying in the new fifth residence outside the West Garden today.
Because I already knew that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were coming to pick him up, and together they were ten princes.
Therefore, here in Xinwusuo, there are two people in one courtyard.
The eldest elder brother and the third elder brother are in the first institute, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother are in the second institute, the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother are in the third institute, and the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are in the fifth institute.
There are four empty rooms in the middle, leaving only the ninth and tenth elder brothers.
Because my brother’s house is a three-entry courtyard, and the front and back yards are spacious. It’s just a temporary stay, so there is no inconvenience...

Qingxi Bookstore.
The royal meal has been served.
In addition to the eight dishes, there are two dishes of pastry, one dish of fried rice, and one dish of noodle soup.
Kangxi saw the dishes clearly and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and looked at the eunuch serving the meal next to him.
Today is better than usual.
The serving eunuch bowed and said, "This sour radish and duck noodle soup was ordered by Brother Jiu, and so was the millet flour, corn flour, and red bean steamed bun soup!"
Kangxi was a little surprised.
However, I really feel that my son cares about his meals.
He nodded and took a sip of old duck soup.
It's not greasy at all, but rather sour and delicious.
The noodles inside are also fresh and very chewy.
He drank a few sips and felt his appetite was whetted.
He took another bun.
During the first month of the year, when Jiu Age and his wife lived in the West Garden, they served corn buns.
The texture is soft and good to eat.
Are you thinking about the steamed buns mixed with two grains?
It seems that Brother Jiu's mention of grains for health care is not just a lip service. The same should be true for the dining room of the prince's house.
Kangxi felt relieved.
Knowing how to cherish your body means you have grown up.
The ninth elder brother is like this, he can be regarded as "the one who is close to Zhu is red"...

West Garden, Qian Zun Hall.
The eldest princess Shuhui has finished dressing up. Princess Rongxian comes over, and the grandfather and grandson are preparing to have a meal.
I heard that Brother Nine is here.
The eldest princess Shuhui smiled and said: "Go and greet me, I am also the elder brother on duty."
This is because I am worried that Brother Jiu is here on an errand.
Princess Rongxian agreed, got up and went out.
Brother Jiu is already waiting outside.
He was thinking about what to say for a moment.
Before, I just wanted to get rid of my brothers, so I came to the West Garden as an excuse.
But I'm really not familiar with that great-aunt, I don't even know her.
There is also Princess Rongxian. Since Kangxi married in the 30th year, the sister and brother have never seen each other again.
It's been eight or nine years since this happened.
The Thirteenth Brother's previous letter mentioned that Princess Rongxian gave horses to the prince, and everyone prepared gifts in return.
It seems that Bahrain is in trouble now, as everyone knows.
Then should he and Brother Ten also do their part?
Or wait and see?
Should Princess Rongxian also give the horse as a gift and they return the gift, so as not to "make a mistake"?
"Xiaojiu..."
Princess Rongxian's voice was clear and she opened her arms when she saw her younger brother.
This is the first time she has returned to Beijing since her surrender. It feels very different. Everything she sees is close to her, and she doesn't feel unfamiliar at all.
Maybe this is a blood relative.
Brother Ninth hesitated.
Is this a big hug and kiss ceremony?
This is a great gift for relatives who have not seen each other for a long time.
Brother Jiu felt that he was a little afraid of strangers and was a bit shy.
But when I saw tears flashing in Princess Rongxian's eyes, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes. She was no longer the proud and flamboyant eldest daughter of the emperor in her memory.
His heart softened, and he stretched out his hand to greet her.
Princess Rongxian hugged him, kissed him, and looked at him carefully several times. Seeing that he was so well-behaved, she smiled and said, "I really dare not admit it. I could find flowers when I was a child!"
There is a ten-year age difference between the siblings.
Brother Jiu didn't dare to be shy and said respectfully: "I was still young at that time, but now my younger brother has grown up and has married Fujin."
Princess Rongxian thought of the roasted red flower, her face became gentler, and she said, "It's good. I heard that you, Fujin, were born well-born and have a good temperament. Xiaojiu is very lucky."
Brother Ninth feels that he has made great progress now and is a popular person.
He replied: "I heard that my second brother-in-law is good, and now I have a nephew and niece. Second sister is so lucky!"
Princess Rongxian smiled and nodded: "Well, we are all lucky."
She took Brother Jiu's hand and entered the Qian Zun Hall.
The eldest princess Shuhui was sitting on the second floor Kang, lovingly watching the two siblings come in.
"Grandma, this is Xiaojiu, born from Concubine Yi's mother, and now in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Princess Rongxian introduced.
Brother Jiu felt a little sad when he saw the white-haired eldest princess.
In my early years, when I heard the word "Fu Meng", I didn't feel anything.
Now that I am about to have a baby, I seem to be able to relate to it.
Every daughter of the Qing Dynasty who caressed Meng was worthy of respect.
Previously, because of Fusong's marriage, he had some complaints against Bahrain Tai Fujin, and even the eldest princess and Princess Rongxian complained.
If the eldest princess's mother-in-law and princess's daughter-in-law hadn't given Bahrain Taifujin the confidence, how could she have dared to ask for marriage so boldly?
Now, he felt that he was too narrow-minded.
He stepped forward respectfully, gave a hug without losing intimacy, and said warmly: "Auntie, we are home now..."
The eldest princess touched Brother Jiu's back, and after hearing this, her hand followed suit.
Got home?
Is this still her home?
Her Enie and her brother are gone...
Of the older generation of brothers and sisters, only the younger brother Chang Shu and the younger sister Kechun are left.
After the meeting between grandparents and grandchildren, the ninth elder brother stood up and was pulled by the eldest princess to sit beside the kang.
The eldest princess looked at Brother Jiu several times and said: "It's different from when I was a child. When I was a child, my cheeks were fat, but now I'm too thin..."
Brother Jiu asked unexpectedly: "Has my great-aunt seen her grandson?"
The eldest princess nodded lovingly and said: "You were only four or five years old at that time, and you followed the fifth elder brother to Cining Palace to see the puppies..."
Brother Ninth laughed sarcastically.
Did you care about puppies so much when you were a child?
Not only did I play with the puppies in Jingren Palace, but I also went to see the puppies in Cining Palace...
