The third elder brother left Wubeile Mansion and planned to go to the Rites Yamen.
When he was about to reach Qipan Street, he changed direction.
You can't go back like this.
The fifth elder brother is not only the fifth elder brother, but also the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi, and even further, there are the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.
If the fifth elder brother holds a grudge against him, then in the future...
The third elder brother went directly to the Lifanyuan Yamen.
It came to nothing.
He patted his forehead. With the small body of Ninth Brother, he traveled to and from Haidian today. It would be strange not to go home and hide away.
He went to Jiubele Mansion.
When he arrived at the door of Jiubele Mansion, he got off his horse and looked around instead of asking anyone to knock on the door directly.
Four princely mansions...
Living next to each other...
This is an advantageous location. It would be great if my palace were here...
Thinking of this, he glanced at Babele Mansion with disgust.
At that time, the eighth elder brother built a house next to the fourth elder brother, and later encouraged the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother to come over. He had no good intentions. This was because he had the intention of "forming a party".
Fortunately, there was Guo Luoluo who held back, otherwise I would have let Lao Ba's scheme come true.
The third elder brother looked away and asked the guard to knock on the door.
When Cui Baisui heard the noise and opened the door, he recognized the third elder brother. While sending someone to pass the message inside, he respectfully invited the person to the living room.
This person has a distinguished status and is the master's brother, so he cannot be neglected.
The third elder brother felt a little hungry when he looked at the four plates of cakes on the coffee table.
It's time for dinner.
He took a piece of pastry and put it down. Instead of eating the hard noodle pastry, he might as well eat it on an empty stomach.
When Brother Jiu got the news, he was a little puzzled and said to Shu Shu: "My heart is pounding. This person is not just wandering around."
Night owls come into the house and come for anything.
With the behavior of the third child, if there is really a good thing, it will not be cheap. Brother, that means there is no good thing.
Shu Shu was a little worried.
As the third elder brother's reputation grows, he may start to win over his brothers.
He has no brothers from the same mother, but among his brothers, his brother-in-law, the ninth elder brother, is closer to him.
Shu Shu said: "I'd better go and see what the Third Master's intention is first. If he's a good friend, I'll know it well. I have the same status as him, but he's younger and his title is one level lower. Just look good."
.”
The ninth elder brother guessed: "Could it be that you want to ask your concubine about moving the palace? You can't ask me. How about you go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask the twelfth elder brother..."
He couldn't think of any other reason, so he went to the front living room with doubts.
The third elder brother drank two cups of Longjing tea, feeling oily in his stomach and feeling more and more hungry.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming in, he said: "It's time to eat. If you have anything to eat, ask the kitchen to bring some, a mat and a mat..."
Brother Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "I'm sorry that your distinguished guest is here to have a meal?!"
Third Brother said: "Isn't this just in time?"
Brother Jiu didn't have lunch, so he ordered He Yuzhu to go to the dining room to pass the dishes.
After a while, He Yuzhu brought someone over with a lunch box.
The main course for lunch today is braised pork ribs with yam, braised loach, peach kernels mixed with celery, scrambled eggs with leeks, wolfberry magnolia slices and stir-fried kidneys.
It comes with multigrain porridge and cornmeal steamed buns.
The third elder brother was stunned and said: "Do you usually eat this?"
It has meat and vegetables, I can’t say it’s not good, it just doesn’t look quite right.
Brother Jiu could only see the dishes clearly now, and his expression was a bit unnatural.
It’s true that Fujin is doing well, so what needs to be fixed?
The third elder brother woke up and couldn't help but look at the waist of the ninth elder brother.
Seeing that he was not steady, Brother Jiu was unhappy and said, "Where are you looking?"
The third elder brother coughed slightly and said: "Ninth brother, don't show off, 'one drop of essence and ten drops of blood', your health is still important..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry about it. These medicinal foods are seasonal, and they are not all kidney-tonifying."
Even if it's a kidney tonic, so what?
This is all Fujin's love for himself.
snort!
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "You are still young and you have four children. Why are you so anxious? You are confused only when you are fishing in the lake..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Tai, Tai, Tai, you are also an elder brother. Don't worry about what's going on in your brother's room. You'd better say something serious!"
After listening to this, the third elder brother's mouth felt bitter and his appetite decreased a bit. He immediately raised his chopsticks and said: "Eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish..."
Brother Jiu didn't care and just picked up the chopsticks.
The loach has been spit out for two days and soaked in egg liquid, so it doesn't have any earthy smell at all.
Brother Jiu ate several of them.
There are also kidney flowers, which are also cleaned up and are delicious to eat.
Seeing this, the third elder brother also had a great appetite and rushed to order two meat dishes.
When he was done eating, the third elder brother put down his chopsticks and said: "These look like side dishes, and they are quite refreshing to eat. They are better than stewed chicken and duck with rice."
The dining room of Prince Cheng's Mansion, which comes with the palace, mostly serves special dishes.
I stew chicken and duck every day, and eat it fat.
Brother Jiu was proud and said: "The meals in our house are all nourishing and nourishing according to the season. I, Fujin, have put a lot of thought into this."
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said with envy: "'Miao is half as good as grain, and half as good as wife is happiness.' Among our brothers, you are the lucky one with a wife..."
Brother Jiu wanted to nod, but then he thought that this might be a bit embarrassing, and he would easily make others jealous, so he said: "It's the same, it's the same, brothers are also the Fujins that Khan Ama refers to, there's nothing bad..."
The third elder brother breathed out and said: "No one else is here, so the ninth brother should stop telling such lies."
Brother Jiu said: "They are all true. I don't have much dealings with my sisters-in-law, but I, Fujin, have a lot of dealings with me. When I mention my sisters-in-law and my brothers and sisters, I always praise them without any bad words."
What he said was true, and the third elder brother didn't think he was talking nonsense. He just said: "That's because my younger brother and sister have good tempers, can talk, and don't say bad words..."
Brother Jiu said: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law taught me well. Not only me, Fujin, but also my brothers-in-law are all honest people."
The third elder brother nodded. Compared with the men in the Dutong Mansion, the sons of the Dutong Mansion seemed to be very honest. I didn't hear anything bad about them.
After eating, he felt sleepy. Seeing that the third elder brother was not talking about business, the ninth elder brother hesitated whether to serve tea to see off the guests.
Fortunately, the third elder brother finally remembered the reason for coming and complained to the ninth elder brother.
"Looking at Lao Wu's anger, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. Who would have thought that there would be such evil consequences? I killed my eldest daughter, and even my nephew. Even Khan Ama also took a note of me. Tian's family
Although I gave birth to an elder brother, he is already dead. Khan Ama said that no matter whether he is a boy or a girl, he is not allowed to be knighted..."
The third elder brother was holding a tea cup and wanted to drink.
No drinks were served for lunch.
Brother Ninth put aside his carelessness and said with dissatisfaction: "Shouldn't Fifth Brother be angry? That is to say, Fifth Brother is kind and always thinks about Third Brother, and Third Sister-in-law's widowed daughter is pitiful. If it were me, I would have made trouble in the county.
It’s the palace!”
It would be strange not to give Third Brother a good beating.
Third Brother: "..."
"It's right to be angry with me, but if you say you have bad intentions, then God will kill me directly. Now that the matter has come to this, I don't know how to apologize..." Third Brother said with a bit of helplessness.
He is about the same age as the fifth brother. They grew up together in the study room together. It seems that they have a deeper friendship than other brothers. I didn't expect that there would be such a rift.
Seeing him like this, Ninth Brother didn't like to see him like this, and said: "How can I apologize? It's been half a year, and you just thought of apologizing? Being implicated by you two, the fifth brother's family will never have peace in the future, and again.
The second child is not allowed to enter the study room, and it refers to the marriage partner, isn't it all because of this?"
The third elder brother rubbed his face hard and said, "I didn't expect the consequences to be so serious earlier. I just thought it would be fine if the flowers came out."
He really thought that going to the study was a punishment for himself.
Later I guessed that something was wrong with the little nephew over there, but I was lucky.
Who would have thought that surviving smallpox would still be a good thing?
At best, Ben's face is just a little pockmarked, which is not a big deal for a boy.
The third elder brother did not think about epilepsy, but thought about burning out his brain.
The most common sequelae of high fever in children is that they become a fool.
To the royal family, this is a "scandal" and must be covered up.
Otherwise, if it is mentioned outside, it will inevitably be used to criticize the royal family for being "condemned by heaven" or something like that.
His face became more depressed and he said: "I would rather give up a son to the fifth child, but the fifth child does not lack a son, only a legitimate son..."
Brother Jiu said: "Don't you understand this in your heart? The matter has come to this point, and there is no point in talking about these nonsense. If you want to apologize, you have to come up with something real."
What kind of shop, Huangzhuang, allocates part of it to compensate for the loss and protect the future livelihood of the little brother? That is sincerity.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "This..."
Anyone who is a concubine can take Zhuangzi and make amends with the shop, but that is a legitimate son, and money cannot make up for it.
If you really want to raise money, you are looking down on people.
Brother Jiu snorted, which was really not surprising.
Anyone who is willing to cut off his flesh is not the third elder brother.
The third elder brother's mouth became more and more bitter, so he took the teapot and told He Yuzhu: "If it's spicy, have another pot!"
He Yuzhu responded, went down and made another pot of tea and brought it up.
The third elder brother drank, with hesitation on his face, and said: "How about I buy a few boxes of 'Yanzi Pills' for Lao Wu? And the tiger whip wine I concocted before..."
If the fifth elder brother has another legitimate son, will this matter be changed?
The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother.
This brother looks smart, but is he actually stupid?
Yuqian pointed to Fujin's Wubeile Mansion. What did that mean? He didn't understand?
The third elder brother was still drinking tea and did not see the surprise of the ninth elder brother.
He was thinking about Mr. Tian and his children.
After confinement at the latest, Tian will be sent to Zhuangzi.
If Lao Wu had a legitimate son, he might be able to change the situation; but here at home, there is no way to change things.
Da Gege's life is in the middle, and the third elder brother doesn't trust San Fujin to take care of his two children.
No one is a saint.
People in the inner house do harm to the children only if they attack them. The aunt-in-law doesn't want to see her and wants to tease the two children, so there are many ways to do it.
The third elder brother is like losing his heir, and the ninth elder brother doesn't want to hurt him anymore.
Seeing the third elder brother drinking bitter tea one cup after another, the ninth elder brother grinned.
Is this "taking tea to soothe one's sorrows"?
The best Longjing was wasted like this...
The third elder brother drank a pot of tea, went to the clean room, and then returned to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
The ninth elder brother returned to the main courtyard and told Shu Shu about the conversation with the third elder brother: "What does the third elder mean? I thought about it for a while, why does it look like he asked me to pass on a message?"
Shu Shu thought for a moment and said, "It sounds like it to me. This is because I'm afraid that Fifth Brother will hold a grudge in his heart..."
In fact, the punishment given by the emperor to the third elder brother was meaningless to the fifth elder brother.
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "You are all in your thirties, why don't you think about Si Liu sometimes? I suggested that he allocate some property to compensate Fifth Brother. What he was thinking about was actually 'Yanzi Wan' and 'Tiger Bian Liquor'."
', Even if the fifth brother has another legitimate son, he will not be the first one..."
Shu Shu nodded, thinking of Qi Fujin.
At that time, Qi Fujin's eldest daughter was sick and was looking for a second child.
If Wu Fujin could be like Qi Fujin, after the little brother's accident, he would get close to the fifth brother, and he might even be pregnant with the second child.
That's really a way to break the situation.
For the royal family, heirs are the most important thing.
There were things Wu Fujin did inappropriately in the past, but as long as she can give birth and give birth to many children, the elders in the palace will give Wu Fujin dignity for the sake of the dignity of the emperor's grandson and the emperor's granddaughter...
