Chapter 1551: Helpful Wife (wowling for monthly votes)
The two younger brothers only want to support their family, while the older prince knows better than them that life is not easy and thinks about his other sons.
After entering the customs, the clan was restructured twice.
From now on, in addition to the heir, other elder brothers in each mansion, even the second son, will have to take the exam for the title.
No one can say what the title will be at that time.
This blue armor is a family heirloom.
Even the third place is equivalent to the annual salary of a town official.
If he earns the first place, he will have one more Baylor. When the time comes, he will divide it among his other sons, and his children and grandchildren will benefit from it. The inheritance will be more secure than when the family was divided.
Even Brother Jiu, who had come to watch the excitement, was in a very excited mood at this time.
It really made him guess, what he was looking at was not the bow power of their brothers, but the guards and guards in the mansion!
This, who is afraid of whom?
Brother Ninth thought it was an ordinary siege and didn't take it seriously. Now that it involves Lan Jia, he has to do his best.
If you really want to be in the top three, the Akdan branch, you don't have to worry about your children and grandchildren becoming idle clan members.
When he came out of the imperial palace, he immediately ordered Chunlin to return to the city, report the matter to Fujin, and ask Fusong, Cao Shun, Xing Jiang, Guiyuan and others who were not present in the mansion to be sent out.
Chunlin wrote it down carefully and hurried back to the city.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother said: "If you don't care about other things, don't care about them. You have to work hard tomorrow. In the future, when you have a second son, the third son will also have room to move around. Otherwise, the sons will be poor."
There is such a big difference between wealth and wealth, I can’t help but feel sad!”
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, my brother will try it too."
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "There should be capable people in the eldest brother's house, as well as the seventh brother. Most of the other houses are just making up the numbers, so it's really hard to say who will get the third place. It's hard to say that it's luck.
, there’s even a second one!”
There will be a total of nine teams going out tomorrow.
Before starting the march, lots will be drawn to determine the direction of the march.
In this way, in addition to the strength of each prince's own army guard, there also needs to be some luck involved.
The result is hard to say.
Seeing the two of them talking to each other, the fifth elder brother came over and said, "Lao Jiu, do you have enough guards? If not, I will give you some more..."
It turned out that he remembered that there was a vacancy in the guards of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and was afraid that the Ninth Prince would be short of manpower.
Brother Jiu said: "I made up to eighty, and I happened to bring out fifty today."
After Brother Ninth finished speaking, he thought that he had not cared about his brother yet, so he said: "Brother Fifth, please work harder and strive for the second place. In the future, even if you are promoted to a noble title, you can still get a share of money and food!"
The fifth elder brother has already got a legitimate son, so Hongsheng, the eldest son of a concubine, is embarrassed.
It's because he was born as a concubine. He doesn't get a high title, and he still has to take exams for the title. If he can't do all three, he still has to be lowered in the title of the title. It's impossible to say that he can't even be awarded the title of the worst general.
Hongsheng went to the upper study room and studied for two years, and his qualifications were in everyone's eyes. He was not outstanding in both civil and military skills, and could only be described as mediocre.
However, this nephew, Father Xiao, was kind-hearted, so Ninth Brother only paid a little attention to him.
The fifth elder brother puffed out his chest and said: "I still need you to remind me, just wait and see. Brother, I will sit down and watch one!"
This one also looks very confident.
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "How strict is the training at your house on weekdays?"
The fifth elder brother stretched out his hand and said: "I have always been lucky, and I never lose when playing dice with my brothers!"
After hearing this, Brother Ninth snorted, raised his chin, and said: "Brother, you are not lucky. The only 'auspiciousness' for the royal family is in my brother's house. Just wait and choose three out of nine. This
Listen, you can’t leave Jiu behind!”
The fifth elder brother said: "That doesn't make sense. According to what you say, then the third elder brother will have to squat down!"
The twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother went to choose someone.
The eldest elder brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother also finished giving instructions to the people around them. When they had some time to spare, they came over and heard the ninth elder brother bragging.
After listening to what the fifth elder brother said, the third elder brother took up the conversation and said: "I think the ninth younger brother is right, the ninth brother enters the third. What's so strange about nine and three? The ninth brother and I are both legitimate sons. We will have a bright future in the future.
It’s so troublesome, but we are short of money and food!”
The fifth elder brother said: "Not only do you and Lao Jiu have two legitimate sons, but there are also two legitimate sons in the fourth brother's family!"
The third elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother and said: "The fourth elder brother's strength is not in this. The guards in his mansion are either relatives or haha beads, and they are of no use..."
Brother Si was looked down upon, but there was no room for refutation, because the exposed hands were indeed like this.
As for the lack of replacement guards, the manpower of the guards are all on other errands, and it is not easy to show them tomorrow.
The fifth elder brother said: "You can't say that. The son born from a concubine is also a biological son, not picked up. You have forgotten that there is still a concubine standing in your house!"
There is another reason for the aunt's mother to dislike the concubine, because he was not born to her; but if the mother-in-law doesn't treat the concubine as her own son, isn't that a bastard?
What did you do before you gave birth?
Third Brother is stuck, he really forgot.
The eldest brother saw the younger brothers gearing up and said with a smile: "Everyone is very energetic! But this time the elder brother will give in unkindly. You must act like an elder brother. First of all, you don't have to think about it.
Let’s go for the second or third place!”
Brother Jiu proudly said: "Brother, your first place may not be stable. Although my riding and shooting skills are not as good as those of your brothers, the guards in my brother's house are not even close to each other. They are all trained by Master Heishan. Five
I started practicing bow power and still practice it for an hour every day. I would rather do it in vain than in vain!"
After hearing this, the eldest brother didn’t take it seriously and said, “shooting on foot and shooting on horseback are two different things. You’d better not be too ambitious and aim for the third place!”
The seventh elder brother remained silent and did not speak.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll see the real story tomorrow.
I'm not a child, so talking about winning or losing is meaningless.
Brother Si thought about it and realized that he had little hope, but he still had to show off.
This is Khan Amma's grace. They don't take it seriously. What do you think of it?
Regardless of whether it's rare or not, you have to show your enthusiasm.
Seeing everyone like this, the fifth elder brother felt a little uneasy and said: "Don't hurt the harmony by fighting over each other. How about we tell Khan Ama that we can besiege as soon as we can, and don't worry about ranking. The hundred blue-armored
, let’s share it equally!”
In that case, a family of eleven would earn four hundred taels of silver per year.
Everyone looked at the fifth elder brother and saw that he was serious and really thought so, and they were speechless.
The fifth elder brother is richer than others, so he only talks about the excitement but doesn't care about Lan Jia.
After all, it is the icing on the cake.
He meant what he said, not for the sake of it.
His private house is the richest, and it is not a problem to take out any antiques and treasures and convert them into hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver.
He doesn't want everyone to have a feud over this.
When he saw that everyone was silent, he said: "Am I wrong? You have to compete and fight over each other, don't hurt the feelings!"
The eldest brother shook his head and said: "Since Khan Ama ordered me to come down, I will do as I am told. There is no need to say anything else."
The old man just wants everyone to fight. If there is no tomorrow, there will be other things.
The third elder brother said: "Yes, Khan Ama is afraid that we will not be able to choose people for the leadership, and we will have to compete."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother said: "Okay, then we have agreed not to be upset. Khan Ama's grace is not only this time, but this time I am not included, and there will be another time!"
The eldest brother said: "Don't worry, we are all grown up, not children. Men can win and lose."
Just like the fourth elder brother, the eldest elder brother is also conflicted here.
He felt that if he performed well, the Khan might not be happy; but if he performed poorly, he might be suspected of being an adulterer, so he had to go all out.
The third elder brother said with gloating: "Ninth to advance to the third level is better than eleven to advance to the third level. The eighth elder brother is still grounded and doesn't even have a chance to participate; the fourteenth has followed twice this year, and this time Khan Ama
But he didn’t come..."
Think about it, everyone, this is really the truth.
Needless to say, the fourteenth brother, even if he comes, he still makes up for it.
However, given Brother Fourteen's temper, knowing that this trip would also involve rewards, he would feel doubly uncomfortable.
As for the eighth prince, he is really competitive.
In total, we only have one day of preparation time today. We all chatted for a few words and then left...

Nanyuan is thirty miles away from the capital. It takes two or three quarters of an hour to get there by horse.
Here, Shu Shu met Chun Lin and heard about the importance of the siege tomorrow. He was very concerned about it and immediately sent someone to call Fu Song, Cao Shun and others.
Of these, Fu Song, Xing Jiang and Gui Yuan can play, and Cao Shun can coordinate the logistics.
Missing an older adult.
Shu Shu hesitated for a moment whether to invite Heishan.
The Yamen seals, and Black Mountain is now idle.
It's just that Heishan is working as an errand at Zhenghongqi, so it's not easy to represent the prince's palace.
You can work hard for it, but the appearance cannot be ugly, otherwise the gain outweighs the loss.
Seven hundred and twenty taels of silver, after twenty years it was only over 10,000 taels.
Seventy-two thousand taels in one hundred years.
Even if she can't get it, Shu Shu can still earn this money for her children.
Shu Shu gave up this idea and only encouraged Fusong: "Since I am interested, you can join us in the fight. I have also told the guards and soldiers that if our house comes in third, each of us will be rewarded with one."
The second place will receive two years' salary, and the first place will receive three years' salary each..."
After saying that, she ordered Bai Guo: "Take out fifty portions of the packed first-class purses, and then take out ten portions of the New Year's purse!"
She knew her shortcoming, which was that these guards were trained in the palace and had no actual combat.
Now we can only reward him heavily to encourage his morale.
There are two taels of silver ingots in the first-class purse, and two taels of gold ingots in the new year's purse.
I went down to get the ginkgo.
Shu Shu said to Fusong: "If everyone performs well and tries their best but does not rank in the top three, I will reward you with these purses."
Fusong agreed.
Shu Shu looked at Cao Shun again and said: "In the past, the accountant paid five hundred taels of silver for logistical supplies. Tonight in Nanyuan, I can ask the dining room to add more dishes, but I have also told you in advance not to eat anything that will damage your stomach. Tomorrow
If I win, I will use the big head to feed everyone..."
Cao Shun responded respectfully.
After a while, Ging Guo came over with two boxes, one big and one small, both for wallets.
Fusong took the box and took everyone down.
Xiao Song was beside him, scratching his head and ears.
Shu Shu glanced at her and said, "Don't worry about it. The competition in front of the emperor should not be irritating."
Xiaosong also knew this truth, sighed and said: "What a pity, if Fujin brings his slaves there, the chance of winning can be doubled!"
As Shu Shu's companion and playmate, Xiao Song also reads military books and knows what "one general is incompetent and the whole army is exhausted".
Even if Fujin's family spent a lot of money to boost morale, the flag-carrying flag of Brother Nine is useless, so the combat effectiveness of the entire team is hard to say.
In Shu Shu's heart, she felt that she had the strength to fight.
Our bodyguards and guards are no different from those in other mansions.
Here, the commander has Fu Song as his deputy, who can make up for the shortcomings of Brother Nine in terms of intelligence and physical strength...
Not only the Ninth Prince's Mansion was involved, but the Tenth Prince's Mansion next door was no exception.
The tenth prince's own manpower is all on the surface, but there are still twenty Mongolians in the palace guard, who are the dowry population of the tenth prince.
These people, Brother Ten, have not moved around on weekdays, but today they sent someone back to call for them.
Since the emperor wants to see the military strength of each government, he should make a grand appearance.
The same is true for several other princely residences.
The nobles in the capital discovered that all the princes' mansions were quite busy on this day.
He became even more curious about the prince's siege.
It was a pity that this time the Holy Emperor did not bring any princes or nobles with him, but only his sons.
