Chapter 1,172: Crying for the poor monthly ticket)
Fahai felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles and followed suit.
He was Longcordo's cousin and half of the family. He should have said a few words at this time, either to apologize on Longcordo's behalf or to apologize directly, but he kept his mouth shut.
Not familiar, really unfamiliar.
He is also a guest today!
The reason why both husband and wife came was because this was Longkodo's first banquet since he returned to Beijing, so it was hard not to give them face, especially at this time.
The second brother's brothers are all in Shengjing, they just came to help.
As a result, good people couldn't do it and fell into a trap!
Not only the eldest brother and the third brother were annoyed, but the others also looked unhappy.
The fifth elder brother was very angry and felt his stomach for luck.
It’s one thing not to eat shark fins and bird’s nests, but it’s another thing not to eat them.
The seventh prince pursed his lips and looked at the dishes on the table.
Brother Jiu bowed his head at him and immediately looked at it again.
You have to remember this, and go back and talk about it in front of the emperor, so that Khan Ama can look at this Tong family and he can't help but admire it.
Brother Si's face turned even darker.
The eighth prince is getting more and more confused.
He prides himself on being able to guess people's hearts, but now he has some doubts about himself.
What on earth was Longkodo thinking?
Brother Ten had a sneer on his face, feeling that the good days of the Tong family must be coming to an end.
The group of people followed the eldest brother out of Tong's house, and lost interest in eating and drinking, so they split into two groups.
The fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother went all the way to Dong'anmen in the south, and the others went all the way to Di'anmen in the north.
At Ninth Brother's side, the carriage sent Shu Shu off and came back to wait, so he also got on the carriage.
He Yuzhu sat outside.
Brother Jiu opened the curtain and asked He Yuzhu: "The dining room is not prepared next to it? Is this the food?"
Not a single main dish.
He Yuzhu said: "Snow clams and bird's nests are stewed on the small stove, which is for the grandmother in the back house."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt that he was at a loss and immediately asked the carriage to stop.
Everyone else was riding horses, and when Brother Jiu's carriage stopped, everyone stopped with it.
The tenth brother was confused when he was concerned. He stepped forward and said, "Ninth brother, what's wrong?"
Brother Ninth got off the carriage, let out a breath, and said: "We can't suffer this loss in vain. Since Longkodo is rude, the previous housewarming gift cannot be an advantage to him..."
With that said, he ordered Chun Lin, the guard next to him: "Take two people to Tong's house and bring back the housewarming gift!"
Chunlin agreed and ordered two guards to follow him.
Brother Ten suppressed his laughter and called the guards to follow him.
By the time the elder brother, third elder brother, fourth elder brother and eighth elder brother came over to see what was going on, the guards had already gone far away.
The eldest brother was so excited that he didn't choke. How big a gift is this?
Did you bring it back to ask for it?
The third elder brother had already nodded and said: "Ninth brother is right, this etiquette applies to everyone, so people will stay away from you in the future. Those who have not come back, you really can't take advantage of them."
After saying that, he also ordered the guards to get the gifts.
The third elder brother looked at the eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother, wanting to know how these two brothers made their decision.
The eldest brother feels like he has a toothache. He has never been so stingy. It's a joke to say it.
But what to do?
When the little ones felt uncomfortable, he could only help them but not take care of them.
He glanced at the fourth elder brother and ordered the guards behind him: "Take a few more people to Tong's house and get everyone's housewarming gifts. If Fahai asks, just say that it was the master's order. The fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother
Don’t fall behind either.”
The guard responded and led a group of people away. "Clatter, clatter, clatter", the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
The Eighth Prince learned his lesson, pursed his lips, and said no more.
He glanced at Brother Ninth.
It’s different.
In front of the brothers, Brother Ninth became more and more important.
This brotherly friendship used to fall mostly on him.
He is the elder brother who grew up with his brothers and was raised together.
The ninth brother grinned, looked at the eldest brother and said: "You are the eldest brother after all. The younger brothers have forgotten that there is also the fifth brother and the seventh brother's share. After this share, there is a lot of money, just throw it into the water and listen for the sound."
It’s also good.”
With such a petty appearance, the eldest brother was too lazy to pay attention to him. He looked at the fourth brother and said, "In the future, please get closer to Bu Xi's family. They are also the Tong family."
He knew that the fourth elder brother was in trouble. The other princes could break up with the Tong family and cut off all contact, but it was not convenient for the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother nodded and listened.
The eighth prince was beside him, but his heart was pounding.
The fourth elder brother was not the only one who was raised in Jingren Palace when he was a child.
When he was a child, he was also in Jingren Palace.
His biological mother was originally a concubine in the back palace of Jingren Palace.
After an unexpected incident today, almost everyone made enemies of the Tong family, except for myself...
The sky was getting darker and darker, so everyone did not delay any longer. The carriage continued to move and everyone left the imperial city.
The troops were divided into two groups again, the eldest brother and the third brother went all the way to the west, and the other four brothers went all the way to the north.
After about a quarter of an hour and a half, everyone arrived at the Beiguanfang.
We were all hungry, so we all went back to our homes.
Shushu here is sitting in the study.
After Walnut followed him out of the palace, Brother Jiu asked someone to take him back to the prince's mansion.
This was because he was worried about Shu Shu, afraid that she would be afraid of the palace's reaction, and wanted to let her know the news from the emperor.
Shu Shu was relieved to hear that Longko was sent to the clan mansion.
If this kind of disrespectful thing is brought to the table, Longkodo will lose a layer of skin, otherwise the royal majesty will be damaged.
If someone is sent to scold or something, it can't be said that "a big problem is reduced to a trivial matter, and a small matter is reduced to a trivial matter."
But……
The biggest hidden danger is not such domineering royal relatives, but the Qianqing Palace.
There was a war between heaven and man in her heart.
She put the reins on Brother Nine before because she wanted to live a stable life and avoid the whirlpool of heirloom.
But the identity of the prince is here, and it doesn't just mean avoiding it.
It is still necessary to make real achievements and seek to obtain a title.
When the time comes, if he wants to stay on the sidelines and watch, he has to wear a golden bell. He must have the confidence to block the criticism from outside, and it will also prevent Kangxi from meddling in the affairs of the Ninth Prince's Mansion as he pleases.
Reward Fujin and directly arrange the marriages of Fengsheng and several others...
No matter which one comes down, they are powerless to resist.
The "love" of a beloved son is based on filial piety and respect.
If you dare to resist, you will probably arouse Kangxi's raging anger.
Who told Qianqiang to be filial? If he is not filial, it will become a sin.
On the contrary, if you have the confidence to be generous and irreplaceable, and learn to say "no", Kangxi will have scruples after two or three times.
When she heard the noise outside, she put down her pen.
There was a piece of white paper spread out in front of her, not a word on it.
Brother Jiu had already picked up the curtain and came in. When he saw the light in the study, he went directly to the west room.
Shu Shu also came out.
Brother Jiu said: "When you enter the clan's mansion, Old Ten will be watching you, so you won't be able to leave."
There are many people in this world who add insult to injury.
The third elder brother was like this when he entered the clan house in May, let alone the Tong family.
The flag vacancies are all fixed. If one family occupies more, that family will occupy less.
"Khan Ama is still talking about it, not showing his favoritism. Some people are worried about Lalongkodo's coming. Not to mention others, they just say whether Minister Luan Yiwei, who succeeded Longkodo, is worried or not, and the current minister is taking office.
Yes, I am definitely not willing to make room for Long Keduo..."
Brother Jiu sat by the kang and talked about this matter with Shu Shu.
Shu Shu thought for a while and thought that the emperor was well-informed, and was afraid that Brother Jiu would get involved, which would lead to him being disadvantaged.
She said: "Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by his own death. Let's just wait and watch the excitement, and also wait and see what the emperor means. If 'the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light', and we finally raise our hands and let it go, then we really want to
Weigh the importance of the Tong family in the imperial court. I have also read "History of the Song Dynasty" and should remember the old events of the Renzong Dynasty."
Emperor Renzong cared about his biological mother, Concubine Li, and favored his uncle's family. In order to improve his uncle's family status and protect his family's wealth for generations, he married his favorite princess to his mediocre cousin.
After hearing this, Elder Brother Jiu said with a serious look on his face, "You really have to be on guard against this. Xiao Jiu's son-in-law is chosen by the Tong family for the second time. That's what it means!"
When talking to Brother Ten in the afternoon, he was still looking forward to the defeat of the second brother of the Tong family.
No matter it is Longkodo or Shun Anyan, they are both unpleasant.
After listening to Shu Shu's words, he felt that it was really not possible, so Shun Anyan would be better.
Shun Anyan grew up in the palace, even though he was arrogant at heart, he still had good rules.
Longkodo is like a mad dog, treating rules as nothing.
While the couple was talking, Xiaotang brought a food box over.
Inside are lotus leaf cakes, millet steamed cakes, and four plates of stir-fried dishes.
The couple freshened up and sat across from each other.
While eating, Brother Jiu talked about the banquet at Tong Mansion.
Shu Shu listened and felt something was wrong.
This is too deliberate.
Even if Yan Chi Xi is not ordered from outside, the Tong family’s own kitchen will not have any precious ingredients?
Now is the time when the Northeastern Autumn Tribute arrives in Beijing. Who among the honorable people is not making a splash to buy a few tribute items?
Venison, roe deer meat, etc., and chilled fish.
"Are you going to cry for poverty?"
Shu Shu guessed.
Brother Jiu was puzzled: "Does this make us cry? Didn't you deliberately embarrass us?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Ninth, thinking of Li Si'er's reaction, and said: "Maybe she is eyeing me, and wants to make money with me, but she is too pretentious to directly ask for help, so she took the irrelevant thing.
Let’s talk about marriage…”
It's a bit of a bargain.
If you refuse the first thing, it is not easy to refuse the second thing.
Li Si'er's background was limited, so he didn't know that with her as his biological mother, her children would not be able to enter the prince's mansion, not even the Beizi mansion in the clan, nor the Duke's mansion.
Even if you want to get married with a clan, you can only find one in the General's Mansion or an idle clan.
Just like the two nieces of Concubine Yi, they are still serious official ladies, wearing clothes and carrying flags, and can only marry into non-titled clans.
Brother Jiu sneered: "If he really plans this, he is just daydreaming. Don't say I refuse him one request, even if I refuse ten or hundreds of requests, who can force me to agree to his next request?"
Shu Shu pointed in the direction of the palace and said: "First we cry about poverty, and then we suffer misery. If I can save my face by then, can the Emperor do it?"
Moreover, Kangxi knew that Brother Jiu was not a stingy person, nor was he a solitary person.
Really seeing that the Tong family was in embarrassment, they said that if they had to use Longko to speak more, the emperor would be worried.
However, today's hit-and-miss approach can be regarded as completely eliminating this possibility...
