The ninth elder brother had been with the fourth elder brother for a long time, and he was a little tired.
After sending Brother Si away, he returned to the main courtyard.
Shu Shu had slept enough in the afternoon and was not sleepy yet. She was bored, lying down during the break and thinking about the festival.
Walnut sat next to him, peeling pine nuts in his hands.
Shu Shu loves to eat this these days.
Eat a small cup of pine nuts every day.
Shu Shu grabbed a handful of pine nuts, and her mouth smelled delicious.
Although this is the Prince's Mansion, it seems to be open, but because it is provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, some preparations for the New Year are also arranged by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
For example, if you hang New Year pictures or something in a few days, it will still be according to the palace rules, and you can only hang them on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month.
On the night of New Year's Eve, there was a Mongolian feudal banquet. In addition to the Mongolian kings, Beile, Beizi, and Taiji who were on duty in Beijing, there were also the internal ministers, bachelors, governors of the three banners, guards, etc. who were accompanying the banquet. The prince's brothers also had to attend the banquet. Accompany the banquet.
After the banquet was over, Brother Jiu could come back to stay with her.
It's okay on her side, with Amou as her company, but not so good on Shifujin's side.
She planned to invite Shi Fujin to come over and have dinner with her and Ah Mou.
Wait until the banquet in the palace is over before letting her go back.
Hearing the noise in the yard and knowing that Brother Jiu was back, she glanced at the clock.
It's already the second day of the second lunar month.
Went out for three whole hours.
Xiaotang was sent to the garden twice, and the reason was explained when he came back.
Shu Shu was not surprised. After all, Yongzheng was famous for being a "hands-on" person, and being the emperor was exhausting him to death.
However, she didn't want her ninth elder brother to be "red when he's close to the red".
It’s better to be relaxed and relaxed.
Just like today's flour milling matter, if they continue to give orders, who would dare to mess with it?
If you choose a suitable person to keep an eye on it, it will be done well. It doesn't make much sense to have to go through it by yourself.
Brother Jiu went back to the house, cleaned up briefly, and lay on the kang in the second room. He complained: "Fourth brother is too serious. If I have to watch everything personally, I would rather not do anything and save money." Save your mind and work! Blade!"
Shu Shu poured him a glass of hot milk and said, "That's right, I haven't come back yet. I'm still worried. It's windy outside and the night breeze is cold..."
Brother Jiu took the milk and drank it in three sips. He shook his head and said, "No wonder the fourth brother eats a lot and doesn't gain weight. It's all because of hard work. In the situation just now, he left reluctantly. If I had asked to accompany him, Come on, I guess the fourth brother will just stop and move on!'"
He didn't stay with guests. After staying with him for three hours, he sat upright and his back ached from exhaustion.
He turned sideways and said to Shu Shu: "Master Bang, rub your arms, your neck is stiff from sitting there!"
Shu Shu took action, rubbed his shoulders, and pinched his neck.
Brother Ninth sighed happily and said: "From now on, we should keep a distance from Brother Four, or else we will be dragged into hard labor by him!"
Shu Shu's subordinates remained unchanged, but he admired him in his heart.
What Brother Jiu said is really right.
The thirteenth elder brother in history died of exhaustion because of his dear fourth brother.
The ninth elder brother has a loose temper, and he does not have the loyalty of the thirteenth elder brother, who "will die for his bosom friend".
If the Fourth Brother catches him as a coolie, he will only think of ways to be lazy.
At that time, history will be corrected if it cannot be said, and the situation of brothers looking at each other and hating each other will continue.
You can get close, but you don’t need to be intimate.
Shu Shu said: "Follow me, your health is the most important thing. If you are really tired for all this, I would rather you do nothing."
She was so straightforward, but Brother Jiu hesitated.
He turned his head, glanced at Shu Shu, and said hesitantly: "Fourth brother is all about business. If I follow you and work hard, I won't even mention the title in the future."
Shu Shu said: "There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. If you look up, when will it be the first time? Don't force it too much, just follow your heart."
The ninth elder brother glanced at Shu Shu's belly and said, "What if our second elder brother doesn't have a title?"
Shu Shu rubbed his belly and said: "It's okay, I'll give him more private money. If he wants a high title, he can earn military merit by himself. If he's too lazy to earn, he can become a rich man. The clan has already divided it into three and six." The ninth class is not like this. If everyone is not equal, then you can make progress yourself."
Brother Jiu said: "Now that I'm going to be my grandma, I really admire Prince Anhe. Thinking about it, he is really arrogant, with constant military exploits, and has earned several county prince titles for his sons with his own efforts..."
Yue Le, Prince of Anhe, had a total of four legitimate sons with the third successor of the Fujin Hesheli family. At that time, except for one crown prince, the other three were granted the title of two county princes and one Baylor.
Prince An's Mansion was really popular at the time.
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "Too much is not enough."
What now?
The prince's son became the county king.
Except for one of the other three sons retaining the title of county king, the other two were reduced to beizi.
Just last year, one of them was deposed and became an idle member of the clan.
Brother Jiu came close to Shu Shu's ear and whispered: "Khan Ama is a little unkind!"
This is not the first time these words have been mentioned.
Shu Shu squeezed his hand and said softly: "There is no way to do it. If you want the government decrees to be passed, you must limit the power of the clan and princes."
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said, "Then to what extent will it be restricted?"
He will also become a prince in the clan in the future, so he naturally hopes to be less restricted.
Shu Shu thought of a saying, "Political power comes from the barrel of a gun."
The power structure of the Eight Banners is actually the same.
The confidence of the clan princes lies in the number of banner subordinates and subordinates.
Especially for the old royal palaces that founded the country, the assistants they inherited were all in their dozens of years.
The Enfeng princes of Prince Yu's generation and Prince Zhi's generation are simply incomparable to Prince Gong.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "When the prince no longer has the ability to influence the inheritance of the throne, the restrictions should be almost there."
Brother Jiu blinked, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "That's almost it now."
Shu Shu smiled and said nothing.
Not even close.
Only when Yongzheng limited the number of princes and princes, and Qianlong began to change the system of generals and kings, allowing nobles to control the army, and created a series of noble princes, was the power of the royal family princes restrained.
But that's it.
The Bannermen had a small population and did not dare to fight among themselves.
The royal family, clan, and nobles maintain a delicate balance.
Brother Jiu hugged her and whispered: "I don't want the prince to be the emperor, either the eldest brother or the fourth brother will do."
Shu Shu's heart trembled.
Brother Jiu has continued to ramble: "The prince is not a generous person. Even if we can get along with him now, there is no guarantee that he will not hold grudges. If he becomes the emperor, I will probably be like the current uncles and princes. , hiding at home and not showing up much anymore..."
"Brother is loyal and good to his brothers. If he becomes the emperor, he will take care of us."
"Fourth brother is fine, too. I have a pretty good handle on what he does...·"
"Forget it, Third Brother, Khan Ama doesn't want to see him anymore, and he himself hasn't woken up yet."
Shu Shu hugged him back and said: "Whoever you love, as long as the fifth brother doesn't want to fight, I will be a 'royalist', and the two will not help each other..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I don't care about the 'success of serving the dragon'. If you don't do good brothers, how can you become a dog and a horse? Since ancient times, there is still the saying 'the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey is cooked'!"
Shu Shu's hanging heart can be relieved, just be aware of it.
Brother Ninth is not stupid at all.
As long as he uses the good brother filter, he can see people with some discernment.
Brother Jiu said: "Have you forgotten? You reminded me before that there are fifth brothers, tenth brothers, and your mother-in-law behind me. Even my father-in-law and mother-in-law are at odds with me. If I If I fall into a pit, I will take you all with me. I don’t dare and I can’t let go.”
Shu Shu had some impressions, but it also felt like a long time had passed.
The corners of her mouth curled up.
Although they have only been married for a year and a half, it seems that they have been together for many years. They are used to each other's existence, and they actually feel like an old couple...
Brother Jiu's eyes were a little sneaky, and he started to count the time and said: "It's twenty-one today, and it's only ten nights until thirty..."
If you sleep a lot during the day and can't sleep at night, don't waste your time.

Wood.
Sibeile Mansion, go to the upper room.
Fourth Brother finished washing and had been lying down for a while.
Si Fujin was beside him. Hearing his slight moan, he turned over and sat up. With concern on his face, he whispered: "What's wrong?"
Fourth Brother said in a hoarse voice: "Maybe the wind blew, and I have some cold symptoms."
Si Fujin turned over and held the lamp, and saw that Brother Si's face was burning red and there was sweat on his forehead.
Si Fujin hurriedly poured hot water for him.
The fourth elder brother drank it all "gu dong gu dong" and asked for another glass, saying: "It's okay, just sweat it out."
He lay down again, but his brows were still furrowed.
Si Fujin couldn't ignore it, so he went out quietly and called the girl on duty outside to go to the dining room to make ginger tea.
"Put a few red dates and a spoonful of brown sugar."
Si Fujin ordered in a low voice.
The girl responded.
After a while, hot ginger tea was served.
Si Fujin took it for a while and tried the temperature of the ginger tea. He thought it was just right and then pushed Si Age.
The fourth elder brother didn't sleep well and opened his eyes.
Sifu Jin said: "I will drink ginger tea before going to bed."
Brother Si nodded and sat up.
Only then did Si Fujin realize that the back of his shirt was wet.
She took a set of Chinese clothes and put them on the smoker to smoke.
After Brother Si had finished a large bowl of ginger tea, Si Fujin threw on a clean towel and said, "Please change your clothes and wipe yourself off too."
Si Age was also uncomfortable, nodded, stretched out his arms, and let Si Fu Jin do what he did.
Si Fujin helped him wipe the sweat from his chest, back and armpits, and put him into a clean middle coat.
The fourth elder brother accidentally remembered that the ninth elder brother always talked about Fujin's good things, but in fact, his own Fujin was also good.
Si Fujin not only helped him change into his middle coat, but also collected his bedding and pushed him into his bed.
Si Age lay down, looked at Si Fujin, and thought of the little girl he saw before the wedding wearing a bright red dress and smeared red rouge on her face...
Si Fujin took out a new bedding and put it outside.
Sensing that her fourth brother was looking at her, she looked over with a gentle expression and said softly: "Sleep well, sir. Call me when you are thirsty..."
The fourth elder brother looked at her oval face and remembered how anxious she was when Mrs. Li was pregnant with Da Ge Ge, and he felt a little guilty.
