There are the most weddings and funerals in the twelfth lunar month. Even Shu Shu, who doesn't like to go out, still has to go out for some social events.
Such as the happy event at Dong Egong's mansion.
Peng Chun has been inactive for three years, and he has obeyed both the banner people's rules and the Han people's rules.
The last few young men in the palace also got married one after another.
After they get married, they can be separated in a legitimate manner, and then only Zengshou will be the only person left in the entire palace.
Both Sanfujin and Shushu went over to have a drink.
When a father is orphaned and a young brother is orphaned, they are sisters and cousins, and of course they have to support him at this time.
There is also Mandu Protector Fujin, who is also a guest.
As the sons-in-law of the Dong E family, the third elder brother, the ninth elder brother and Mandu Hu also came over.
Suddenly, the wedding in the palace was extremely lively.
The whole hall was full of people, in addition to the cousins of Dong E's family, there were also old relatives by marriage.
Rumors about "a certain prince" have spread throughout the market, but they have not really reached the princes.
Until this day.
Since Third Brother is on duty in the South Study Room, he doesn't have that much free time.
In the morning, he sent Sanfujin over, said hello to Zengshou, said a few words to Manduhu and Jiu Age, and then planned to change clothes first, and then go to the palace, thinking that he would come back when the banquet was held in the afternoon.
Don't delay.
Otherwise, the south study room would be uneasy.
The eighth elder brother has just recovered from a serious illness, the seventh elder brother has become ill again, and the fifth elder brother cannot help him.
In winter, everyone wears the same thing, black end caps.
When Third Brother came over, no one paid attention.
There are people in the clean room, and there are people waiting outside.
The two people waiting were chatting.
"What about the prince? There is still something wrong..."
A person on the right gloated.
The man on the left said: "Have you heard about it too? Tsk tsk, some vague information came out in the past two years, but it didn't talk about that person, it was about the person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As a result, they fired three shots and it was immediately revealed.
Rumor has it that the person in charge of the Zongren Mansion also got an elder brother last month; this time everyone knows it is accurate, it is that one, and there is no one else!"
The man on the right said: "They say you need a doctor if you have a cold. Who believes it? A cold can hire dozens of doctors. They are just treating men's diseases in the name of a cold, but they don't think about the doctor outside and the doctor from the hospital."
It’s different. The doctors in the imperial hospital know the rules and are all dumb. Many of the doctors outside are not from the capital. If they accidentally say something wrong, they will just leave."
The man on the left said: "I didn't expect that the guy who was said to have a good temper would actually have such a problem."
The man on the right said: "It's hard to say. If I can't say, I'm not a man..."
The man on the left said: "The guarantee is not complete. I heard that the man followed his two younger brothers around before the wedding. After the wedding, the three families stopped contacting each other. This doesn't sound right..."
The third elder brother was confused at first, but when he heard this, he understood what was going on. His face turned red with anger, he stretched out his legs and kicked one of them without any effort.
Both of them looked like dogs chewing shit, and would curse loudly when they turned around.
However, they obviously recognized the third elder brother, and the two of them held back the words that came to their lips.
The third elder brother didn't know the two of them, but he saw clearly that they had yellow belts hanging around their waists. They were two clans!
It is not unusual for a clan to appear in Dong E's family. Zengshou and several of his brothers married basically clan daughters.
I came here to have a drink today. Apart from the Dong E family, there were also the most members of the clan.
"Which one is it from? Where did you hear those nonsense?"
The third elder brother asked angrily.
He heard that the person making the criticism was the Eighth Prince. He was a bit gloating about his misfortune at first, but something was wrong later. This was not only talking about the Eighth Prince, but also all the brothers.
It was said before that the prince's gender was not taboo, but it was not a big problem.
Dividing peaches and cutting sleeves has been practiced since ancient times.
But there is no clear understanding between Eighth Prince and his brothers...
The third elder brother couldn't hear it, so he immediately turned around and called a boy: "Go and invite the ninth elder brother!"
As a good brother and brother-in-law, he can't stand others slandering the ninth elder brother.
Seeing that things were about to get serious, the two people looked panicked.
The one in front said: "Three Belles, it's my slave who has a bad mouth..."
As he said that, the man spared no effort and slapped his own mouth.
When another person saw this, he also said: "This slave is wrong. You should not believe the nonsense outside and follow your tongue..."
Then, he also slapped himself with "slap".
When the third elder brother saw this, he didn't shout to stop.
When Ninth Brother, Manduhu and Master Zengshou came over with the news, they were still beating each other into pig heads.
Brother Ninth also saw the yellow belts around their waists and wondered: "Whose uncle offended the third brother?"
The third elder brother sneered and said: "I'm surprised, what kind of golden nobleman doesn't even pay attention to the prince!"
Manduhu was hesitant to persuade the third elder brother that even if he was really hit by someone, it would be fine. Come over for a wedding banquet and don't make it difficult for the master's family.
The two of them were kneeling, both with pig-headed looks. Even Zengshou, the host, couldn't tell for a moment which family they were in-laws from.
The steward next to him was still smart and whispered in Zengshou's ear: "They are the two cousins of the madam..."
After hearing this, Zengshou couldn't say anything, but after all, he was his brother-in-law, and he couldn't bear to see them in such a mess, so he had to bite the bullet and stepped forward and said: "Third Master, this... is the cousin of the servant's wife. He only knows how to eat and drink on weekdays.
It’s very shameful…”
As the sons-in-law of the Dong E family, the three father-in-laws in front of me, who also know how to increase their longevity, are the grandsons of Prince Lilie, the sons of Prince Qianxiang, and the Duke of Gie Zhen, Liu Yong.
The title inheritance of the Qianxiang County Prince also had its ups and downs. It was passed down to three princely houses, but they were all changed one after another.
Nowadays, the clans in this branch are all idle clans without titles.
Zengshou was the heir to the palace, and Peng Chun chose his eldest daughter-in-law, specifying that she could not be chosen from an idle clan. At that time, when the two families got married, the Duke of Zhenguo from Liuyong was still there.
Zengshou, a third-class Duke, has inherited the title for three years but has not found a good position. This has something to do with it.
In the thirty-seventh year of his father-in-law's death, he lost the support of his wife and family.
Liuyong had one brother and one younger brother. The eldest brother died young and had no children. He also had another younger brother, Garsai, the Duke of Jige Town.
My father-in-law's cousin is Garsai's son.
The ninth elder brother felt that something was wrong. The third elder brother was vague and did not directly mention the two people's guilt.
When Third Brother saw these people, he really had no intention of judging them in public.
He looked at Zeng Shou and said: "Pull the two bastards up, go into the room and ask them to teach you what they just said, and you can come back and intercede with them!"
Zengshou regretted it.
The third elder brother has always been good-tempered, so if he is so uncompromising, these two people are not talking about going to the imperial court, right?
The elder Mandu Hu saw that the third elder brother had some scruples. Looking at the two people, he didn't understand what these side clans could do to offend the prince.
The group moved to the side hall.
The ninth elder brother guessed: "The son of Garse is disrespectful to the third brother because he is resentful of Khan Ama because of the matter of removing the prince?"
Did you really drink too much?
How many years has it been since their family's titles were changed?
It's not twenty years, it's more than ten years.
The third elder brother looked at the two pig heads and said: "Hurry up and learn. Didn't you say it very smoothly just now? Start learning from the sentence 'So what about the prince, there is still something that can't be done'. Don't fall behind. Learn all the rest.
Let everyone listen to the news..."
The expressions of Zengshou and Mandu Hudu changed slightly.
The two looked at each other and knew in their hearts that the other party had also heard about it.
It's just that no one is a fool, and no one really goes to the prince to say this.
Brother Jiu thought about the meaning of these words and said: "You are talking about the prince? Isn't it the prince?"
You are a man, how can you hear the word "no"?
Brother Jiu felt guilty even if he was not a thief, so he became angry and glared at the two people: "You are not a woman, why are you talking about your wife?"
The two men's heads were drooped, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
They were shouting and joking outside, even if they were idle members of the clan, they wouldn't be afraid of anyone, but when they came to the prince, they were all the same.
The ninth elder brother remembered that the third elder brother had called him one before, and he had some misunderstandings. He thought he was the one he was talking about. He was so angry that he was trembling all over. He stared at the two people and said: "It's just a tongue-in-cheek talk about my wife, why is there no trace of the arrangement?"
nonsense?"
The two people were very nervous, but they knew they couldn't be vague.
It is disrespectful for them to spread gossip, but the crime will not lead to death. If they make up lies to slander the prince, it will be a serious crime.
The older man hurriedly said: "I'm wronged by you. This gossip was not made up by me. It was spread from the south city to the inner city. I went to a banquet a while ago and heard about it. Now my younger brother mentioned it again, so I followed suit."
Two sentences, I was wrong, I should not have stopped my brother and kept talking."
His younger brother was also smart and said hurriedly: "Someone said it before and after the Laba Festival. This has been passed down for ten days. I just have a bad mouth, so I am using this molar with my brother today."
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was angry, the third elder brother was afraid that he would be so angry that he hurriedly said: "What you say is unreasonable. People who understand will not believe it. What you say about old eight is really true..."
His consolation made Brother Jiu feel even more uncomfortable, and said: "Okay, what do you say about me and Brother Eight together? Did you say Old Ten, or did you say Twelve?"
The third elder brother thought about the gossip just now and said: "Old Ten is inside, the twelfth elder brother probably didn't think about it outside..."
To be honest, these people lived next to each other at that time.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "They are all idle, talking about the children and heirs. Khan Ama is not worried yet, but outsiders are worried about the prince's children and heirs!"
The third elder brother nodded and said: "It's just idle. The eighth elder brother can do it. No one else is lying under the bed. How do you know if it can do it? The lies are arranged to look like the truth. Could it be that Fujin, Xiangfujin, and the whole yard are full of princesses?"
Isn’t it all a decoration? Not to mention that if it hadn’t been for two accidents, we would now have two children..."
Brother Jiu heard that the words were wrong, blinked and said: "You're talking about Bage? Then why are you calling me? Isn't Bage recovering from illness and going on duty? Why don't you ask someone to call me in the palace?"
The third elder brother said: "Why are you kicking people? You two bastards spread gossip, and they also arranged it on you and Lao Shi, saying that Lao Ba is not a man, and the little ones are hanging around you and Lao Shi.
…”
These words are too dirty.
The ninth and tenth elder brothers were buried inside.
The other princes were not clean either.
Manduhu and Zengshou's expressions had changed slightly just now, but now their expressions had changed drastically.
Which man who is already married and has children can withstand being stirred up?
When the ninth elder brother realized what the third elder brother said, he stood up suddenly and stepped forward to kick him a few times.
There is no such thing as burying people!
Whether it's a stick or shit, he and Lao Shi don't care about doing it!
