When Brother Jiu came back, Shu Shu noticed the change in his mood, something was very wrong.
Before he left, he was very confident and seemed to be doing well, but now he was a little uneasy, struggling and hesitant.
Shu Shu waved her hand, sent away the walnuts and Xiaoyu, poured a cup of milk tea and put it in Brother Jiu's hand.
Brother Ninth's fingertips were a little bit icey, and his whole body seemed to be filled with coldness.
He took the milk tea and drank it, and then his expression calmed down.
"What's wrong?"
Shu Shu thought about the reason.
It doesn't look like it's sour.
If the prince's elder brother had received so many gifts for his birthday, the ninth elder brother would probably be upset.
After all, his birthday was just over a month ago and passed quietly.
His mind is not big yet.
But the one who received the gift was the 10th elder brother, so the 9th elder brother would not be bitter and would only consider him from the perspective of the 10th elder brother. The difference between the inside and the outside was clear.
This is a good brother.
Brother Jiu raised his head, with annoyance on his face.
He thought of the white paper with ink stains on it. Everything he had done would leave traces, and the more he searched for corrections, the easier it would be for mistakes to be revealed.
Also, he promised not to hide anything from her if something happened, and the two of them discussed it.
I don't seem to have a long memory.
When I encounter an opportunity, I get a little superior and forget about this.
"I found out that I am a bit bad...I will never become a big fat man in the future..."
Brother Jiu's eyes wandered, not daring to look directly into Shu Shu's watery almond-shaped eyes, and his voice sounded a little hollow.
Shu Shu's heart tightened.
Are you getting fat by breaking your promise?
What did this guy do?
She felt like weeds were growing in her heart and was thinking about how to ask further questions.
Brother Jiu came over and whispered in her ear: "I know that Lao Shi treats me well, and he seems to be used to it, but he doesn't think about him much on weekdays, just like his little follower.
...On the contrary, I have more trust and respect for Bago..."
He reflected: "This shouldn't be the case. If you really want to talk about it, Brother Eight treats me well, but Brother Ten treats me better... If we put them together and compare them, even if we really prefer one to the other, Brother Ten should be ranked first.
…”
Such a silly brother, seeing that there is a pit ahead of him, jumped into it without hesitation.
Brother Jiu is not a hard-hearted person, so he hesitated after receiving this love, thinking whether he was wrong and whether he should not be implicated.
Shu Shu was simply pleasantly surprised.
She didn't know the grudges these princes had when they were growing up, but just looking at the interactions between them after she was married, it was really unfair to treat the tenth prince and the eighth prince as the same.
In the eyes of the tenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother is like a brother. He will consider him wholeheartedly and trust him wholeheartedly.
The eighth elder brother has a good reputation and seems to be quite close to the other elder brothers...
I am very close to Brother Nine, but I don't feel indispensable to him.
It seems that for him, the brotherhood with Brother Nine is more like the icing on the cake, not a necessity.
Otherwise, Bafujin would not dare to treat his brother-in-law so slowly.
When she said this in a hurry, she suppressed her surprise and couldn't help but express her curiosity: "Why do you treat eighth master so closely? After all, there is an age difference, we don't go to school together, and we don't spend much time together..." "
Is it because we live next to each other?
The twelfth elder brother still lives in Ganxi Fifth House, and I don't see the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother having any close relationship there.
In comparison, it should be the same relationship.
Half-brothers, non-classmates in the class above or below.
Why is there such a big difference?
"That was many years ago..."
Brother Ninth still looked frightened when he mentioned the past.
"I was about the same age as Xiaoliu at that time, about seven years old... At that time, Empress Chengqiangong died of illness, and the fourth son kept filial piety, and was not close to Tongyonghegong Empress. Looking pitiful... Khan Ama asked people to follow Mao The dog room gave him a pug..."
Shu Shu listened and felt quite excited.
This is it?!
Cut your puppy’s tail?!
Cut or not?
Speaking of this, Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "I heard about it and was a little curious. It just so happened that Lao Ten had a rash during those few days and I was bored. After school, I followed Lao Qi to Chengqian Palace... "
Shu Shu had heard Brother Jiu mention this arrangement of the prince's residence once before.
The fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother all lived in Chengqian Palace when they were young, and were raised by Tong Jia, who was the imperial concubine at the time.
Later, the palace was repairing the elder brother's house. The fifth elder brother in Qianxi was repaired first, and the eighth elder brother who was assigned to that courtyard was moved out first.
The remaining elder brothers were moved out after the repairs were completed at Qiandong Fifth Institute.
Although Empress Xiaoyi, Tong Jia, was the third descendant, her weight was no worse than that of Empress Renxiao, Hesheli, the Yuan empress.
She was the emperor's cousin. She was called "Gege" when she entered the palace, but she was treated like a concubine. She was named a noble concubine the following year, and she was the first officially canonized concubine in the Qing Dynasty.
A few years later, the imperial concubine of the Jin Dynasty was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, becoming the first imperial concubine in the Qing Dynasty to be in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.
In the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the empress was seriously ill, so she was established as a queen and issued an imperial edict to the world. This was the first time that imperial edicts were issued after the emperor was established. He used his position as empress to pray for her happiness.
However, when things go wrong in the world, nine times out of ten, even the emperor cannot control matters of life and death.
The empress died the day after she was crowned queen.
Brother Jiu has already talked about the key point.
"Hmph, whoever raised the dog looks like who... The fourth one is a sour-faced person, so the pug just followed him. The fourth one didn't come out yet, and he was still being petted and cuddled. He was well-behaved and cute. It hurts. When I saw the fourth brother coming out, he immediately got into a fight with me. He bared his teeth and barked, and even pounced on me... I was about to pounce on him, but the myna hugged me and stopped me, and I was bitten. On the calf..."
Hearing this, Shu Shu guessed the direction below.
The prince's brother Jin Gui, that biting pug, may not end well.
"Master Ba is injured?"
Shu Shu was worried.
"Isn't that right? I bit him. It was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I didn't wear much. There were several small holes left, and they all started to bleed..."
Brother Jiu said with anger.
"What about the pug?"
Shu Shu asked.
"Strangled to death, the eunuch who raised the dog also got forty strokes..."
Brother Jiu said casually: "This is also the rule in the palace. Cats and dogs that dare to bite or catch the master will not be kept, so as to avoid the next time..."
Shu Shu was silent, just listening, she could think of the grievances that Fourth Brother felt at that time.
He lost his adoptive mother, was not close to his biological mother, raised a pug, and was teased by his brother bear until he got into trouble and strangled him to death.
"This...can be considered a life-saving grace..."
Shu Shu thought it was a bit childish.
A pug is so big that even if it pounces on a person, it will only be at the level of its knees.
They were brought to accompany the prince again, so their lethality should be limited...
Brother Jiu nodded firmly.
"Forget it! How old was Bage at that time? He was two years older than me, so he was only a nine-year-old child... I used to live next to my neighbor, but I didn't see him much since he was a child, and he wasn't familiar with him. He basically didn't move around. It was only after that that he started to move around.
…”
Shu Shu did not comment.
The bravery of a nine-year-old child is indeed worthy of praise.
Even if the "life-saving grace" at the beginning is a little more watery, the close contacts later are real.
Friendships were saved.
What she was more curious about was the puppy's tail.
The puppies are dead, so the tail-cutting thing is fake?
A fabrication by later novelists?
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "I have always repaid kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred...
You said that the fourth child had such a sour face. It was obviously his dog that bit someone, but instead of thinking about his own fault, he blamed it on me. It's really outrageous...
When Khan Amma asked someone to send him another five blessings, it was a new pug, named after the previous pug. The first one was called Sanfu, what a shabby name...
I'm not allowed to touch you, I'm not allowed to tease you...
Every time I go over, he hides the five blessings in his house. Do you think he is being outrageous?
There are more than ten people, so narrow-minded..."
Shu Shu just wanted to say "haha", this naughty kid is so annoying.
Having learned the previous lesson, he actually went to tease the pug, not forgetting to eat but not to fight.
Fourth Brother is not a fool. He killed a pug and it would be irresponsible for him to let it go.
Brother Ninth felt a little proud.
"Hiding him here and there, I was annoyed, so Yang Bage found an excuse to hold him back and went to Chengqian Palace first... Tsk, tsk, you don't know what Wufu is like, with two pigtails and little flower clothes, neither fish nor fowl.
"...Do you think it is comfortable? It was pitiful and humped in my arms. When I felt soft, I took off its little clothes and braided it tightly, so I untied it..."
At this point, he curled his lips.
"I was still young at that time and my hands were not very flexible, so I pulled off a handful of dog hair... I remembered that the fourth son, that bastard, came back and saw this, so he became anxious, snatched the puppy back, and returned it.
I took a handful of it on my head..."
Shu Shu felt a little excited after listening to it.
It turns out that there really is such a thing!
This naughty boy, again and again, is driving people to panic.
I only pulled out a handful of hair and showed restraint.
But in Kangxi's eyes, he could not be said to be "emotional".
A pug and a prince are not of the same weight.
The fourth elder brother is twelve years old, which is half a young age. It is indeed easy for others to criticize him for being angry with his younger brother because of the pug.
"He didn't do well either! I remembered that this was why Khan Amma scolded him for being 'emotional'... I had almost forgotten about it before. He deserves it. Who told him to pull out my hair..."
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "I can't blame you because I think he is displeasing to me. The fourth child also treats me and ignores me. It turns out that I really have a grudge..."
Shu Shu was speechless after listening.
He is really a child, and his memory is intermittent.
I remember that the eldest brother held him up and lifted him up, but I don’t remember that the eldest brother then took him to the room.
He remembered that the eighth elder brother helped him block the attack of the pug, but he did not remember the "grievance" with the fourth elder brother later.
What a brother who deserves a beating.
Shu Shu didn't want the ninth elder brother to find trouble and go to the fourth elder brother for "revenge".
Shu Shu did not condemn Brother Ninth Brother's childish behavior, but said with a look of confusion on his face: "According to Master's words, the life of a pug is at stake between Si Beile and Eighth Master..."
