Chapter 1,315 Where is my brother going? (Wall around asking for monthly votes)
Hong Xi could not utter a single word.
Could it be that when I came over, I saw the 14th elder brother's face was not good, so I got defensive and paid attention to the word "Jiu Niang Wan"?
That means he had ulterior motives and deliberately changed Hong Yu's wine bowl...
He lowered his eyes and drooped the corners of his mouth, looking only at the tiles on the ground.
There is no good person when it comes to deeds but no heart.
Doesn't he just love and protect his cousin?
Even if the wine bowl is not that hot, you just want to show your kindness and be considerate, right?
As soon as he showed this attitude, everyone knew that there was no need to ask.
The fourth elder brother said to the eldest elder brother: "The things on the table are worth looking at."
So even if Hongxi doesn't answer, as long as he does something, there are traces to follow.
The ninth elder brother looked around and said, "Where did this bastard, the fourteenth elder brother, go? How come the thirteenth elder brother is also missing..."
While talking, he went outside.
I saw that the personal eunuchs of the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers were there.
"You guys are stuck here, where is your master?" Brother Jiu asked.
The eunuch of Brother Fourteen turned pale, knelt down with a bang, and said: "Master Jiu, our master is missing..."
"ha?"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said, "Why are you missing?"
The eunuch choked up and said, "I don't know, but the Thirteenth Master just came out to look for someone. He checked the main courtyard and the backyard, but our master was nowhere to be found. The Thirteenth Master was worried that our master had returned to the city, so he has already chased him..."
Brother Jiu had a headache when he heard it.
Not to mention, Brother Fourteen is actually not a brave person.
This time I got into trouble. I didn't dare to face my brothers, so I ran away.
If he went to the imperial court to plead guilty before everyone punished him, it would be a big deal and a trivial matter.
The ninth elder brother looked at the eunuch of the thirteenth elder brother again and said: "Why did the thirteenth elder brother chase after him? Did he bring anyone with him?"
The eunuch looked sad and said: "Our master chased him alone and took Master Jiu's horse..."
Just when Brother Thirteen couldn't find anyone, the chief eunuch here brought the imperial doctor over.
There was a horse parked at the door. It was the ninth prince who rode here, and the thirteenth prince rode away directly.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu wanted to jump in. How come no one is sensible?
It's completely dark now.
The moon rises early, but walking at night alone or on horseback is too willful.
The ninth elder brother felt it was inappropriate, so he turned around and entered the house, and told the eldest elder brother and fourth elder brother about the situation.
The eldest brother and the fourth brother looked at each other and felt that it was difficult.
The fourth elder brother stood up, glanced at Hong Yu, and said, "My nephew looks tired. Brother, please send him back to be resettled. I'll call the guards and give chase."
One is a half-grown boy and the other is a young man, so neither of them can rest assured.
The eldest brother nodded and told: "When you catch up to the fourteenth brother, don't shout for beating or killing. Ask the reason later and then talk about other things."
Fourth Brother nodded and went out without hesitation.
The ninth elder brother sat by the kang, and they all muttered: "Is the fourteenth elder brother stupid? If you are thirty years old, go back with bare legs, and you are not allowed to go out in the middle of the night."
The eldest brother also frowned.
Is this something that can be avoided?
There must always be an explanation.
Children are no longer young and can do whatever they want.
At fourteen, even if you are not a man, you can no longer be treated as a child.
Hongxi stood on the ground, no one paid attention to him.
He heard it clearly and knew that Brother Fourteen had run away.
He was so filled with hatred that he really wanted to tell her about the happy bowl of happiness, wealth and longevity, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
Even if the wine bowl wasn't hot, if he wanted to get closer to Hong Yu and take good care of his cousin, it wouldn't be a big deal if he wanted to be careful.
If I said everything, it would look like I was holding back...
At this moment, there was movement outside.
It's Third Brother who's here.
Knowing that Hong Qing was having dinner at the Fifth House tonight, San Age and San Fujin made an agreement with Hong Qing to let him go back to the South Second House to stay overnight.
It turned out that San Fujin wanted to send someone to pick up Hong Qing when he saw that it was getting late and he hadn't gone back yet. When San Age heard about it, he volunteered.
It can only be said that there are two courtyards between the South Fifth Institute and the South Second Institute, so there was an uproar in the courtyard here before, but it did not alarm the South Second Institute.
The third elder brother only realized something was wrong when he entered the courtyard.
Quiet, too quiet.
He was surprised when he saw that the dining table in the hall was still set but empty.
Seeing a figure in Toji's room, he turned in.
"Brother, Ninth Brother, are you here to have a feast too?"
The third elder brother asked curiously: "Didn't you say that the fourteenth elder brother only invites younger ones? Why do you still choose others to send posts?"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "We all came here..."
With so many people watching, the matter could not be concealed, so the ninth elder brother simply said it, and also said that the younger elder brothers were all in the west room.
After hearing this, the third elder brother glanced at Hong Yu who had his eyes closed. He was worried about his son and said, "Then let me take a look at Hong Qing first..."
With that said, he turned around and went out to the west.
In the west room, there were no adults around, and the little brothers were happy again.
Hongsheng touched his belly, looked at Brother Fifteen and said, "Uncle Fifteen, when are you going to eat again? My nephew is hungry, he didn't even take a few bites just now..."
Along with the sound of talking, there was a burst of intestinal rumbling in his lower stomach.
Hong Qing immediately said: "I'm hungry too..."
"And me, and me..." Hong Shu also responded.
The fifteenth brother has only eaten a few kuaizi, but is it convenient to pick up food at this time?
He hesitated.
The sixteenth elder brother was also an uncle. When he saw this, he said to the fifteenth elder brother: "Brother, we can't go hungry. Hongyu and Akedun have vomited completely, so they have to eat to cushion themselves."
Brother Fifteen nodded and looked at the person at the door.
He Yuzhu was here, and after listening to the instructions of the ninth elder brother, he helped the fifteenth elder brother here.
The fifteenth brother walked over and said: "Young brothers are all hungry, please ask the kitchen to heat up some food and bring it up..."
He Yuzhu glanced at Akedun lying on the kang, and was thinking about how to explain to his fifteenth brother that the fourth master had been asked to arrange for someone to take care of him in the dining room.
The third elder brother had already heard these words at the door and said: "Why are you still dawdling? There is no one nearby, Shou Tao, Shou noodles? Are you going to make the young masters hungry?"
He Yuzhu went out to find Brother Jiu, but he couldn't make the decision either.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Ask Xiaotang to boil the eggs directly. It's faster and doesn't require any manpower."
Things with skin are safer.
He Yuzhu responded and went down.
Brother Jiu looked at Hongxi and didn't know how to arrange it.
This is different from Brother Fourteen.
The fourteenth elder brother is the younger brother and deserves a beating. They treat him as an elder brother with a few scoldings and a kick is not a big deal.
This is a nephew, not just any nephew.
If they really hit me and scolded me, it would be like bullying someone small.
The eldest brother waved directly to Hong Xi and said: "You can go over there, there is nothing more to ask!"
He couldn't take action, but the anger in his heart did not dissipate.
The eldest brother knows his Hongyu, who has an honest and gentle temperament. He is respectful to his uncle and cousins in the study room, and he also takes care of his younger cousins and nephews.
Hongxi's move was calculated and evil.
It's just that he is an uncle, so he doesn't have to deal with his eight-year-old nephew. This debt must not be recorded on the prince.
Hongxi stood for a quarter of an hour, and her legs were already stiff.
After hearing what the eldest brother said, he nodded and went out.
He understood the anger of Prince Amma. These princes and elder brothers were all ambitious and had evil intentions, otherwise they would not be at all polite to him.
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was already the second quarter of the year.
Hong Yu had been placed on the kang and was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
Brother Jiu leaned over and took a look. He didn't know if the carrot juice had worked, and he felt that the redness on his face had faded a lot.
It was just that it was hot on the kang, and Hong Yu was wearing a full set of clothes. He felt a little uncomfortable and stretched out his hand to pull his collar.
Brother Jiu saw this and said: "Brother, please take Hongyu back and let him have a good rest."
After hearing this, the eldest brother hesitated for a moment, stood up and said, "I'll send him back first."
The ninth elder brother personally sent him out and said: "You should rest, I am here. When the fourth elder brother catches the fourteenth elder brother when he comes back, I will stop him, otherwise I will beat him severely."
The eldest brother didn't comment, he just glanced in the direction of the west room and said: "It's time to start the shift, please arrange for someone to send him back!"
This wave of young brothers all live in the West Garden, which is convenient.
"Uh-huh……"
Brother Jiu responded and saw the door. He wanted to ask if the Tuoyuan Bookstore should arrange for someone to tell the prince the reason. Otherwise, he would just ignore it and don't let Hongxi get to the point.
But thinking about the relationship between the eldest brother and the prince, he swallowed his words again. This was not the right time to ask the eldest brother's opinion.
Because it was still the Chinese New Year, all the people in this temple had red lanterns hung up.
Watching the eldest brother go to his destination, the ninth elder brother turned around and returned to the house.
"Woooo..."
The night wind became stronger, and the deserted countryside looked very miserable.
Brother Jiu tightened his clothes and entered the house.
The children were all in the west room, and Brother Jiu also walked over.
The third elder brother was sitting, comforting Hong Jin and saying, "Don't worry, your eldest brother is fine. He's just like this when he just learned to drink. Just drink a few more times and he'll be fine."
Hong Jin nodded honestly.
Third uncle is an adult, so naturally whatever the adult says is what he says.
Hongxi was beside him, looking at Akedun.
He had never drank, but after seeing the reactions between Akedun and Hongyu tonight, he felt alert.
Wine is not a good thing!
But after two years, when he is older, he will also try it.
He wanted to try to see if what he said while drunk was intentional or unintentional.
There is a saying in the book about "telling the truth while drunk", but I don't know if it is true or not.
If this is not true, Aktun is deliberately using alcohol to go crazy.
What happened tonight has nothing to do with me. If Aktun hadn't questioned him, he wouldn't have been interrogated again and again.
Brother Jiu sat next to him, looked at everyone and said, "The eggs will come here in a while. You can go back to the garden to rest your stomach. It's getting late."
The little brothers all nodded honestly.
Only the fifteenth prince and Nersu did not respond.
"Brother Ninth, where are Brother Thirteen and Brother Fourteen?" Brother Fifteen asked.
Nersu was also worried.
He stayed in the palace for one year and lived in Qianxi No. 2, next to the thirteenth elder brother, and received a lot of care from the thirteenth elder brother.
Starting from this year, when the thirteenth elder brother left the study room, the fourteenth elder brother came to take care of him.
He is also a person who knows good and evil.
The ninth elder brother did not say anything about the fourteenth elder brother's sneaking away, and said: "If you have something to do, don't worry. The fourth elder brother will bring someone to pick him up."
Brother Fifteen was relieved now.
At this moment, He Yuzhu brought eggs and a plate of fine salt.
There is a basin full of eggs, red and red, with twenty or thirty in them.
The 15th and 16th elder brothers called on the younger brothers and broke eggs for everyone.
However, the more the third elder brother thought about it, the more wrong he became. He dragged the ninth elder brother to the east room and said, "No one saw it, so why are you so sure that the fourteenth elder brother went back to the city? Instead of going somewhere else?"
Brother Jiu said: "If you don't go back to the city, where are you going? There are people guarding the garden, and he can't get in!"
The third elder brother glanced at the north and said, "Then, will you go to the North Garden?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "He went directly back to the palace to intercede with Khan Amma, and he might still be able to escape. If he dares to ask the Queen Mother for protection and disturbs the Queen Mother's peace, his crime will be increased!"
The third elder brother said: "For more than thirty miles, even if you enter the city at this time, you will not be able to enter the palace..."
Also, when they travel, they either ride horses or take cars. They use their legs to walk. I feel that Brother Fourteen does not have that much perseverance.
After being told by the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother was not sure and said: "Then the fourteenth elder brother didn't return to the city? Did he run away nearby?"
The third elder brother thought for a while and said: "There are value-for-money rooms in the Royal Horse Farm and the Royal Rice Field. There are official rooms in Haidian Town. There are several princes' gardens to the north and south from here. Where can I go without a cat?"
Brother Ninth frowned and said, "What do you mean by Third Brother, Brother Fourteen is either running to the imperial court to plead guilty, or is he hiding?"
The third elder brother said: "Just wait for the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to come back. I think that will probably be the case."
Brother Jiu looked at the window, it was dark.
If he doesn't take the official road back to Beijing, but stays nearby, where can he find it?
At this moment, the eldest brother left and came back.
He has settled Hong Yu, come and take a look.
After hearing the third elder brother's guess, the eldest elder brother was really angry.
I'm not afraid of doing something wrong, but if I don't take responsibility, I'll pass...
*
On the official road, the thirteenth prince rode on horseback and chased him for twenty miles in one breath.
Judging by the time, since the time when Brother Fourteen was not seen, he would have walked more than ten miles at most.
But after chasing him for twenty miles, there was no sign of anyone. Brother Thirteen could not continue to deceive himself.
He guessed wrong, the fourteenth elder brother did not return to the city.
It makes people even more worried.
He turned around, but did not ride his horse. Instead, he looked at both sides of the official road to prevent Brother Fourteen from hiding.
However, the Fourteenth Prince is timid and should not dare to stray too far from officialdom.
He held a horn lantern, looked at both sides of the road, and listened carefully to the movement.
The night wind howled.
There was only the cry of the owl, which sounded a little scary.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.
Thirteenth Age Lema ducked to the side of the road.
"Da da da da" As the sound of horse hooves gradually became heard, the visitor also saw Thirteenth Brother.
It was Si Age who came with two guardsmen and rode their horses.
"Xu..."
The fourth elder brother reined in his horse and saw clearly the direction of the thirteenth elder brother's horse's head, and then he understood.
The thirteenth brother was worried and said: "Fourth brother, the fourteenth brother has not returned to the city, he should be still near the garden..."
Brother Si gritted his teeth and said, "This bastard really deserves a good punishment!"
No matter how angry you are, you still have to find someone first.
Although it is already the beginning of spring, the winter in the capital has not passed yet.
It’s late spring again this year, and the weather in July and September is almost the same as in the twelfth lunar month...
