Chapter 1841: Cheating the younger brother and begging the older brother
Chapter 1842 Cheating the younger brother and begging the older brother
When Brother Jiu entered the household department to check in, he heard someone talking in the east room.
This voice sounds familiar...
Brother Jiu was hesitating whether to go in and take a look when he heard someone inside say: "Okay, why did Brother Jiu go to Qianqing Palace? Was it passed down by Khan Amma? I heard that he was even rewarded with meals, which is really honorable!" "
This sour tone is definitely not someone else's.
Brother Jiu then reached out to pick up the curtain and went in, humming softly: "Third brother, you are so powerful. I can't hide anything from you in front of the emperor!"
The third elder brother was sitting by the kang, drinking tea and eating cakes. When he saw the ninth elder brother coming in, he laughed twice and said: "There are many idle people in this palace, and there are also many people grinding their teeth. I didn't bother to inquire."
The ninth elder brother felt a little regretful when he thought about how he had spoken kind words to him yesterday, and stared at the third elder brother with an unkind look on his face.
"Why can't I go to Qianqing Palace? That's just the third brother's Khan Amma, not someone else's Khan Amma?"
The third elder brother hurriedly said: "Look at you, why are you so upset? I didn't say anything, I don't care about you..."
"Hmph! Whether it's because you care or something else, you know exactly who you think you can fool..."
As he said this, Brother Ninth looked him up and down, decided on his supplement, and turned to complain to Brother Four.
"Fourth brother, third brother is just here to show off, to show that his skin is different from ours!"
The fourth elder brother also looked at the third elder brother to replenish his clothes, without nodding or shaking his head.
The third elder brother almost jumped up and said: "This is not the first time I have worn these clothes, so what are you showing off for? Come on, Old Jiu, don't accuse me with empty words!"
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said, "If you don't show off your clothes, then you still want to inquire about the emperor's news?"
The third elder brother wanted to get up and leave.
Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.
I was afraid that someone from the imperial family would ask about my brother's dinner a few days ago, so I came here early in the morning.
Brother Ninth usually speaks freely, who knows what he accidentally said.
Seeing that he was timid, Brother Jiu said proudly: "It doesn't matter if I tell you, I have always been honest. I will learn whatever Khan Ama asks, and I will never add fuel or jealousy!"
After hearing this, the third elder brother became more and more unsure and said: "Then... how did you learn from Khan Ama?"
What did Khan Amma ask?
When I left the Qianqing Palace that day, my face looked ugly. Could someone have gone to the imperial palace to lay maggots on me?
The third elder brother is worried about gains and losses.
Brother Jiu didn't worry anymore.
He also sat by the kang and looked at the cake plate on the kang table.
Tsk tsk...
There were two plates of pastry, and most of each was missing.
"It's okay, Saqima. This fruit is so hard, but your teeth are really good!"
Brother Jiu joked.
The third elder brother said: "It's cold today, and my stomach always feels like I can't get enough to eat. Not to mention the stove fruits, even the purple ones, I've chewed them all."
He Yuzhu poured tea for Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu picked up the tea cup and looked at the maroon color for a while before taking half a sip.
Is this a case of killing the tea seller?!
It's so strong that it makes your mouth taste bitter.
Brother Jiu quickly put down the tea cup and told Su Peisheng, "Pour me a glass of water."
The third elder brother was sitting there uneasy, thinking about the meal that day.
It seems like you haven’t offended Lao Jiu in any way, right?
I took the main seat first, but later I gave way to Lao Shi.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and felt a little itchy.
Did the ninth elder brother really talk about the third elder brother in front of the emperor?
Will he also mention himself in front of the emperor?
I had already warned him to be more cautious when responding in front of the emperor, but he didn't remember it long ago.
Brother Jiu waited until the water was brought to him, rinsed his mouth, and then said calmly: "I didn't say anything. I just said that Third Brother was addicted to alcohol, so he ate wine with dried chili peppers, which made his eyes burst into tears.
Mahua, you look so pitiful."
When the third elder brother heard "chili pepper", his body froze. There was something strange about something indescribable.
The taste is quite ecstatic.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with a smile in his eyes.
No wonder Brother Ninth had a bad look on his face when he came in just now.
He was speaking kindly to Third Brother in private.
The third elder brother was very uncomfortable and said: "Why are you talking about such trivial matters? Laojiu, you are not young anymore. You should understand the importance. There is no need to learn these things from Khan Ama!"
"Then what did you say to Khan Amma? You said that you are an elder brother, and his younger brother encountered something sad. Instead of saying sorry to your younger brother, you still insist on grabbing his brother's wine?"
Brother Jiu asked.
After hearing this, the third elder brother knew that this guy had a grudge.
He hurriedly said: "Third brother is wrong, I will compensate you here. When we have a feast during the Chinese New Year, Third brother will punish himself with a few drinks."
Brother Jiu was stunned and laughed, and said: "Are you punishing yourself, or are you greedy for wine?"
The third elder brother felt relieved when he saw that he no longer had a droopy face.
Regarding Brother Jiu's temperament, if he really makes a note of this in his mind, he probably won't be able to say anything nice about him the next time he returns to the imperial court.
He said: "Self-punishment, absolutely self-punishment! Wine is not a good thing. From now on, I will only drink one bottle at most, and I will never drink more!"
Since ancient times, there are many people who get into trouble when they drink, and there are also people who make mistakes while drunk.
In other words, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince didn't have any bad intentions. Otherwise, they would have been totally defenseless if they had arranged something else while they were drunk.
Who knew that day, no one was left around him.
Thinking of this, Third Brother was a little distracted.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother have no bad intentions, so who would?
The third elder brother couldn't help but look at the fourth elder brother.
In addition to the eldest brother and the prince, there are also four elder brothers.
For example, the eldest brother is the roadblock in front of him, and he is also the roadblock for the fourth brother.
The fourth elder brother looked at him with a strange expression, and looked at the third elder brother with some confusion.
The third elder brother quickly looked away, not looking at the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother lowered his eyes and touched the eighteen pieces on his wrist.
The third elder brother felt that he was a little bit crazy.
The prince is still staying here well, why is he daydreaming?
When the third elder brother thought of this, his mind became clear. He remembered something and said to the fourth elder brother: "I heard that you often go to Xishan to worship Buddha. The Canaan incense in Tanzhe Temple is notoriously hard to find. Have you asked for it this year?
"
Brother Si nodded and said, "Please, Laba went there once and asked for ten boxes."
The third elder brother hesitated for a moment and said: "Then...can you give me a few boxes evenly?"
The fourth elder brother knew that the third elder brother was obsessed with reading the books of sages and did not believe in the monks. This fragrance...
It should be for Zhong Cui's concubine and mother.
He agreed and said: "Okay, apart from the ones sent to the palace and those used for opening the boxes, there are still four boxes left that have not been opened. I will send someone to deliver them to you this afternoon."
The third elder brother cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, fourth brother. I have been negligent this year. I will ask for it early next year and leave a few more boxes for you then."
Brother Si said: "It's just a small matter, so you're welcome."
The third elder brother is really busy this year.
If he hadn't been burdened by household chores later on, he would have been praised by the emperor.
The third elder brother didn't delay any longer, got up and left.
The ninth elder brother followed the fourth elder brother to the gate of the check-in room.
As a result, before the third elder brother took a few steps, the thirteenth elder brother came towards me carrying a package.
Looking at the golden dragon hexagram on the Thirteenth Brother, the Third Brother stopped, turned around and said to the Ninth Brother: "Look, this is the one here to show off his clothes!"
After being knighted, the most uncomfortable thing is that I can no longer wear the golden dragon gown exclusive to the prince.
Brother Ninth: "..."
"Third brother..."
Fourth elder brother showed his disapproval.
Just now, the ninth elder brother stabbed someone, which was excusable. The thirteenth elder brother didn't hurt anyone, so his anger was unreasonable.
The third elder brother removed his eyes, quickened his pace, and walked away in a flash.
The younger brothers are all debt collectors, the ninth elder brother is not popular, and the thirteenth elder brother is not popular either.
Hum hum…
It seems like no one has ever been the youngest son of the emperor?
There will be a time when they are older, and Khan Amma will definitely pinch his eyes and look down on them.
He just waited...
The thirteenth brother was a little confused and looked down at his clothes.
Inexplicably, I felt that Third Brother didn't say anything nice.
"Fourth brother, ninth brother, third brother, what did you mean by what you just said?"
Brother Thirteen was familiar with both brothers, so he asked directly.
Fourth Brother said: "It has nothing to do with you..."
Brother Jiu said: "I just hurt him, and he used you to tease me!"
He thought that the thirteenth elder brother was here to see the fourth elder brother, so he said: "You talk to the fourth elder brother, I will go back to the West Room first."
"I'm here to see Brother Ninth..."
Thirteenth Brother said.
Brother Ninth Brother was a little surprised and said: "Then come with me. We will seal it in the afternoon. Fourth Brother should have some other business."
The thirteenth elder brother responded, said hello to the fourth elder brother, and then followed the ninth elder brother into the west room.
Brother Jiu saw that the daffodils were about to bloom on his desk, and the winter jasmine flowers in the corner also had some creamy yellow flowers, so he told He Yuzhu: "Remember to remind me this afternoon to take these with you at home, so as to save a month of spending time here."
Damn it."
He Yuzhu agreed and went down to bring the tea tray and serve tea to the two brothers.
The ninth elder brother looked at the thirteenth elder brother.
If it was serious business, I shouldn't be looking for you.
In the past few years, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourth elder brother have always accompanied each other, and they have become close brothers.
That's not the real deal...
Brother Jiu felt that he had thought of it and said, "Are you... here for Master Yi's condition?"
Do you want to help your brother-in-law's family, but are you afraid that Yidu will be too immature?
The thirteenth elder brother nodded and said: "In the thirty-fifth year, when Prime Minister Yi was serving as Minister of War, he was demoted three levels and retained. He once taught his younger brother half a year in the upper study room, teaching "Sun Tzu's Art of War". If you really want to talk about it, it is different from
My younger brother is half a teacher..."
Brother Jiu listened and recalled thirty-five years.
At that time, I and Lao Shi were also in the study room. Why didn't we listen to "Sun Tzu's Art of War" taught by the Minister of War?!
Khan Amma, is this "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude"?
The Thirteenth Brother’s talent has been leaked, and he has already been listed in front of the imperial court?
However, things that happened just a few years ago seemed so far away to Brother Jiu that he didn’t remember them clearly.
The Thirteenth Brother said: "I heard that Yi Xiang was ill, and it was Brother Ninth who helped, so their family hired an imperial doctor..."
Having said this, he put the package he had brought on the kang table.
"Here is a box of ginseng and a box of sea cucumbers. I got them when I went to Rehe. I don't need them either. I'll trouble Brother Ninth to find an excuse and help give them to Yiduli. Don't mention me, even though I am related to his family by marriage.
, Khan Amma doesn’t like us to have close contact with the ministers..."
Brother Jiu is different here. He is Iduri's superior. He is also a subordinate of Iduri when he shows favor to him. He does not violate any taboos...
