Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.
The couple thought of going together.
She lowered her head and read all the ten words, and with her pen, she excluded "Sheng" and "Kang" from the front and "Mei", "Chun", "Xi" and "Yuan" from the back.
Brother Jiu leaned over and looked at it, saying, "What's wrong with the two words in front?"
Shu Shu said: "The sound of 'Sheng' is left, which is not pleasant; forget the word 'Kang', it is too heavy for my aunt and cousin's royal title..."
Brother Jiu twitched his lips.
He only thought about the year name and forgot about this.
He is not afraid of others saying that he is flattering. These two people just mean well, otherwise he would not have been selected as the number one.

Shu Shu pointed to the next four and said, "Forget it, these sound like little geges. They are not tough enough."
Brother Jiu stopped and said, "Can't I protect her? Why are you so tough? Just be a squeamish little princess."
Shu Shu pointed at herself and said: "I am also a squeamish little princess. I guess Ama thought so at the beginning, but now Ama has nothing to worry about."
Brother Ninth: "..."
After a while, he reached out and gently touched Shu Shu's belly.
The baby above was motionless and unresponsive.
There is a small bulge slowly underneath.
It looks like a small fist, very delicate, not much bigger than a big thumb.
Brother Jiu's expression softened.
When Shu Shu saw this, she also laughed...
Faintly, there is also a little jealousy.
She restrained herself.
Fighting for favor is not about this, nor is it this time.
This is the flesh and blood conceived in her belly, not picked up.
There was movement outside, and it was Cui Baisui who came over to report: "Master, the chief minister of Zhijun Prince's Palace is here, and he has followed the prince's instructions to see you."
Brother Jiu was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shu Shu: "I haven't seen you for a while. It's probably because the news about Prince Zhuang's Mansion has spread over there. Brother is worried and sent someone to ask. I'll go and have a look." Look."
Fortunately, it was only Chang Shi who came, not the eldest brother himself, otherwise I would have probably been talked about again.
After talking to Shu Shu, he got up and went to the flower hall in the front yard.
Chang Shi is waiting here. He is about the same age as the eldest brother. He is also the eldest brother's Hazhu family. He is a disciple of the Three Banners. After Cheng Ding left the study room, his family hired a bodyguard.
Whenever the eldest brother travels, he always brings his followers.
By the time the eldest brother opened the palace, this man was already a second-class guard, and he was recommended by the eldest brother as the chief historian of the county prince's palace, a third-rank official.
Seeing Brother Jiu come in, the man stood up hurriedly, hit Qian'er, and said: "Slave Yuan Song has seen Brother Jiu, please say hello to Lord Jiu."
Since the eldest brother is an old friend, the ninth brother is also familiar. When called, he stood up and called directly: "Old Song, why are you doing the errands? What orders do you have, eldest brother?"
The man took out a purse from his sleeve, took out a few banknotes from it, and said, "Our master said that he wanted to buy the land in Tangquan, so he sent his slave to deliver the banknotes to Master Jiu."
Brother Ninth laughed "haha".
This is because they heard that he sold fifteen taels per mu of land to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, and they were worried that he would be picked on by his clan members, so he came to be his "participant in the market".
What a great brother!
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay! Wait until tomorrow when I go to see my eldest brother and see which piece of land I will pick."
Chang Shi said: "Our master said, don't pick the place. Master Jiu, you can just make arrangements according to the price of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. There is no need to lower it. If the bank's tickets are not enough, we will make up for it."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Thank you on my behalf."
It was getting late, so Chang Shi finished his errands and stood up to leave.
Before Brother Ninth left, there was another movement.
Su Peisheng is here.
It means almost the same thing.
"Our master said, compare it with the price of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. If others ask, my brother will just say that it is the same price, and there is no need to be criticized..."
In that case, there would be no suspicion of taking advantage of the situation and blackmailing Prince Zhuang.
"Our master also said that since the clan respects relatives, how should I collect money and repay the money, and also return some gifts, such as lakes, rocks, flowers and trees, it looks respectable..."
This is the meaning of "a favor gives a horse, and a business does not spare a needle."
Brother Jiu looked at Zhuang Tiao and was speechless.
Others don’t know, so doesn’t he know?
He "borrowed" some money last year, and each government had very little savings left, so this was another thousand taels worth of money given away.
It seems like the pressure of favors is increasing.
However, Brother Ninth also appreciated it and nodded: "Tell Fourth Brother for me that I know how to deal with it. Thank you Fourth Brother for worrying about it."
Su Peisheng didn't wait long, got up and left the house.
As a result, he happened to bump into the fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother at the gate of the prince's mansion.
"Fifth Master, Eighth Master..."
Su Peisheng was busy fighting Qian'er.
The fifth elder brother signaled him to get up and said: "Did the fourth elder brother send you here?"
"yes."
Su Peisheng responded, but he just responded. His mouth was like a clam shell and he didn't mean to say anything.
The eighth prince glanced at Su Peisheng.
I didn't notice it at first, but now I realize that the fourth brother is a good manipulator, and the people around him have strict rules.
The fifth elder brother waved his hand and said: "Okay, go back and resume your life..."
The fifth elder brother and the eighth elder brother entered the house directly.
Brother Jiu just came out of the flower hall and greeted two more people.
The fifth elder brother pointed outside and said: "I brought two pots of bamboo. Tomorrow you go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion to apologize. Take that with you so that the prince can calm down. There are also two boxes, two boxes of tiger whips." "
Brother Ninth's mouth twitched, a little surprised, and said: "How does Brother Five know about this?"
At noon, he sent Sun Jin to go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion to ask if Prince Zhuang would be there tomorrow. He wanted to go over and pay his respects.
After all, if you go by without saying hello, you will become an "uninvited guest", and you are afraid of missing out and wasting your efforts.
The reply was that I would be home tomorrow.
It's fine if other people know about it. They are better informed. My fifth brother is always at home these days and stays behind closed doors. How come he knows?
Brother Ninth had a bad premonition and said, "Isn't it the news coming from Prince Zhuang's Mansion?"
The fifth elder brother nodded without hesitation: "It's the news over there, saying that you are coming to apologize. I know everything you need to know."
Brother Ninth's face turned red.
That's not wrong, but why do you feel like you've become a big joke?
How many people have no time to make fun of themselves?
He couldn't help complaining to the fifth elder brother: "What do you mean over there? It's not a big deal, does it need to be advertised widely? It's too stingy..."
The fifth elder brother did not side with the ninth elder brother this time. He thought for a while and said: "It may not be what the uncle meant. It is probably arranged by the people below. Who told you to hurt the dignity of the uncle before? This time they want to do it too." Bring back Prince Uncle's dignity."
Brother Ninth was silent.
I can't do such stupid things again.
It is better to be still than to move.
Otherwise, in the end, you will become shameless.
The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said with some worry: "Your Majesty has a bad temper, how about I accompany you there tomorrow? In front of others, your uncle will not have a bad temper..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Bage, please don't interfere. It's my brother's fault. It's better to let him say this!"
The Eighth Prince hesitated and said: "Is this okay? If the uncle really has an attack, can you bear it?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Of course, my brother has been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years. There are uncles everywhere there, and he has been a grandson for several years. How can he be so irritable?"
What you said is unbelievable.
If he was really stable, he wouldn't have to make amends tomorrow.
The fifth elder brother said to the eighth elder brother: "Let him go alone. He will be embarrassed secretly. In front of us, he has been embarrassed twice. It will be awkward to look back."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother and said with dissatisfaction: "What are you talking about, the fifth elder brother? It seems that the younger brother is so narrow-minded! There is no need to mobilize troops and mobilize people, so as not to fall outside and someone will make up lies and gossip..."
Speaking of this, he was thoughtful.
People who spread lies and write trivial articles are so annoying.
We can't leave them like this, we have to find ways to treat them.
There is an article in the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" that says "those who make false accusations will sit down", but that is a punishment that can only be meted out by the government.
Wouldn't those villains escape without going through the government?
Seeing his dazed expression, the fifth elder brother thought he couldn't wipe his face, so he felt embarrassed and coaxed him: "Okay, what you said is right. It's not that you are being petty, but there is no need to make people laugh."
The eighth prince smiled and had nothing to say.
Brother Jiu glanced at the clock and said, "It's getting late, why don't you two brothers eat something here before going back..."
Before the eighth elder brother spoke, the fifth elder brother nodded eagerly and said: "Okay, eat whatever you have. You don't need to add too many vegetables. I'll have the stuffed peppers, and the stir-fried pork. If you have braised beef, beef offal, etc. Yes, let’s have some too, as well as eggplant..."
Brother Ninth said "hehe" twice and ordered He Yuzhu to go to the main room to deliver the message.
The eighth elder brother smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I've eaten at my ninth brother's place..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What has Brother Eight been busy with recently?"
The eighth prince said gently: "Watch some movies about Shengjing in the Ministry of Justice."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu's heart moved and he thought of Gui Yuan.
Shengjing's "Ginseng Eucalyptus" was sent back for re-examination, and the results should be available soon.
Why don't you send someone to Shengjing to see Guiyuan?
There is no need to escort him from Shengjing to the capital, and no one will take care of him when the time comes, and he will suffer further punishment.
The eighth elder brother was waiting for the ninth elder brother to answer, but unexpectedly, the ninth elder brother lowered his head and remained silent.
The room fell silent.
The fifth elder brother said again: "Let's have spring pancakes as a staple food, use the rolled chili peppers and stir-fried pork..."
Brother Jiu nodded and sent Sun Jin to pass the message.

Main room, east room.
After receiving the report from He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, knowing that the two princes wanted to stay for dinner, Shu Shu ordered Walnut to say: "In addition to the few items mentioned by the fifth master, steam a plate of five-minute thin sausages and stir-fry a plate of spicy shredded pork. , a plate of chives and eggs with rolls..."
As for Ba Age's taste, she also knew a little about it. His taste was relatively bland and restrained, and she didn't like spicy dishes.
She smiled and said: "Add some stir-fried cabbage, alfalfa and cucumber slices, and put them over Master Ba's side..."
Walnut went down and gave orders.
He Yuzhu and Sun Jin also bowed and retreated.
The two of them admired each other deeply.
Others don’t know, why can’t they see it around Master Jiu?
Master Fujin didn't like what the eighth prince was doing.
But despite this, she was respectful in front of others, and she was thoughtful and thoughtful in front of others, so as to give him dignity...

Yesterday I won the single-day monthly ticket championship. Ho ho ho. Thank you all for your kindness. I take a bow.
