Although the ninth elder brother felt that the third elder brother came here to help him convey the message, he did not intend to follow the third elder brother's wishes.
What is he doing with this?
In terms of closeness and distance, he is still close to the fifth brother.
It was only because of his kindness that he didn't follow the fifth brother in the crusade against the third elder brother.
Because he knew that the one who made the decision would not be happy for his sons to be separated according to their biological mothers.
So no matter what you think in your heart, you can't show it out.
Otherwise, if you don't fall behind, you will have to be criticized by the emperor's father.
The third elder brother came over at noon and did not cover up his whereabouts.
Other families also knew that he was coming to Jiubele Mansion.
At dusk, Si Age came back from the Hubu Yamen and heard Fu Nai report the matter.
The fourth elder brother thought about the recent activity of the third elder brother and suspected that he came to win over the ninth elder brother, but he felt that he would not be so stupid.
If the Ninth Prince was alone, the emperor would not pay attention to who he was close to or who he was attracted to. But after the Ninth Prince, there was also the Tenth Prince, which was conspicuous.
Anyone who dares to win over Brother Jiu seems to have something evil in his heart.
On the contrary, he was like the eighth elder brother earlier. He and the ninth elder brother grew up together and were close to each other before they became adults. It can be said that they are brothers, and nothing else is involved.
Thinking of this, Brother Si was stunned.
If the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother are alienated, they will lose the greatest help.
The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief.
He and his eighth brother were three years apart in age, but they grew up together.
At that time, he was the "eldest elder brother of Jingren Palace" and the eighth elder brother was the "little elder brother of Jingren Palace".
When Eighth Prince learned to speak, the first thing he said besides "Mommy" was "Ah Hui".
It was only when we moved out of the palace later that we lost the intimacy we had when we were children.
The fourth elder brother did not want to confront the eighth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief, but the eighth elder brother felt heavy.
Everyone has close brothers. Even the third elder brother can get close to the ninth elder brother in the name of his brother-in-law. On the contrary, he is limited to the status of the eldest elder brother's "adopted brother" and cannot get close to anyone...

Brother Jiu stirs up a pool of spring water whenever he thinks of guests at home.
Since he had the idea of moving to Haidian, he mentioned the matter to his tenth brother early the next morning.
There is nothing wrong with the tenth elder brother.
Just thinking of his brother's cramped situation, he said: "When the time comes, let's take the children to Sister-in-law Jiu's village."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, take the children to catch chickens. I saw live chickens in the imperial dining room for the first time when I was a child, and I became curious."
Thinking that the tenth elder brother and his wife were not sociable like him, the ninth elder brother said: "Prince Zhuang Fujin is kind and kind. He is still a relative with his younger siblings. You can get closer to each other."
Prince Zhuang's Mansion has a royal garden in Haidian, not far from Changchun Garden.
Prince Zhuang now has no real job, and he also went to Haidian with Taifu Jin.
Brother Ten smiled and said, "Brother Ninth doesn't hold grudges."
Brother Jiu said: "One code is one code. Prince Zhuang hates her, but my aunt is very kind, and Taifu Jin is also kind. The more you get close to her, the less you will suffer."
Just like their husband and wife, they have always been close to Prince Zhuang Fujin. Prince Zhuang Fujin is also very kind to them and his wife, and every time he gives generous gifts in return.
Brother Ninth doesn't want to take advantage, but it makes people feel more comfortable if they don't suffer from this favor.
When he arrived at the Lifanyuan, Brother Jiu was bored and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Twelve was very happy to see him coming: "Brother Ninth..."
Brother Ninth was not polite to him, and directly ordered: "Tomorrow, your Tenth Brother and I will move to Haidian, and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up Beifu and Beixi."
The twelfth elder brother responded and immediately planned to ask someone to deliver the message.
Brother Jiu stopped and said, "These two courtyards are not enough. We need to clear out a courtyard to the east of the courtyard behind Gegesuo."
Behind the elder brother's residence in the northeast corner of Changchun Garden, a row of courtyards was built, where nine grids were prepared for people to come to pay filial piety. There were also other princesses who were still serving as envoys, so they were basically empty.
This reminds me of the fact that the children started to study and ran all over the floor, making it difficult to confine them to the small yard.
Cao Yueying and Manager Cui, who are responsible for teaching the children, will also move to Haidian.
It took a lot of effort for the children to get used to studying every morning, but they couldn't just move Haidian and let it go unused.
In this case, a yard is really needed for placement.
The twelfth elder brother hesitated and said: "Brother Ninth, is it more convenient to clean up the fourth house? It is next to the fifth house..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient."
At that time, the Age Institute in charge of building the northeast corner was to supplement Nan Wu's work.
The two places add up to a total of eleven courtyards. Starting from the eldest brother to the fourteenth brother, even if they all live in Haidian, they can all live in open spaces.
After living here for the past few years, everyone has come to accept that there will only be one courtyard per house.
The twelfth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, I am not going to Haidian. There is an empty courtyard. You can take it."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "I just suffered a loss in the gift of silver. I don't have a long memory. If you don't come to Khan Ama, how can Khan Ama think of you?"
The twelfth elder brother knew that he had good intentions, and the ninth elder brother had also mentioned it several times in the past few years.
He said with some seriousness: "Brother Ninth, grandma is old, noble and timid. The two elders only hope that I will be safe."
Now that the Prince's Mansion is built according to the Beizi Mansion, he has already taken advantage of it, so what else is there to be dissatisfied with?
Thinking about the rumors in the past two years, the ninth elder brother stopped encouraging the twelfth elder brother. He only said: "Even if you live your own life behind closed doors, you can't be bullied. My brothers and sisters, please stay close to me. We are full of people."
I have always valued in-laws, so there is no harm in getting closer to your in-laws."
The emperor's father treated his son as he pleased, but he cared about the dignity of his ministers, especially the old ministers, who were much more dignified than their sons before the emperor.
This is also an old saying.
The twelfth elder brother nodded.
He didn't want his family to be too complicated, and he was also looking forward to the birth of his eldest son, but he didn't expect it.
The ninth elder brother didn't like others to interfere in his own affairs, so naturally he wouldn't point fingers at the twelfth elder brother's household affairs. He said: "Didn't you leave some land in Xiaotangshan at that time? It's time to ask people to sort it out.
You and Brother Thirteen should move out before winter."
He has worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several years and knows the approximate time it takes for the Construction Department to repair a house, which is one to two months.
However, outdoor fortifications are suspended before winter.
In that case, in order not to delay the move of the 18th prince next year, the 12th prince and the 13th prince will have to move in August at the latest.
The twelfth elder brother nodded and said: "Tell Fujin to do the wedding and clean it up."
Now that he has come over, Brother Jiu remembered his plan to collect money to raise pearls, and said: "If you have money that is not urgently needed, you can set it aside. Then I will think about it and come up with a way to increase the income. However, the water will flow slowly, and it will not be like Xiaotangshan."
It’s so fast, at least it will take three to five years to see the money back.”
The twelfth elder brother hesitated: "Would it be too much trouble for the ninth brother?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, but I guess it's just this time. We brothers are all grown up, so it's not easy to get together all the time."
Anyway, the one who cultivates pearls finally plans to honor the imperial family, pay tribute to the imperial family a few years later, and set up a pearl farm so that his brothers can earn some pocket money, which will not make it any easier for outsiders.
The twelfth elder brother said gratefully: "Then I'll trouble the ninth brother."
The ninth elder brother knew that the twelfth elder brother's family fortune was about forty thousand taels of silver. He was not happy that he would miss this opportunity again and planned to raise tens of thousands for him when the time came.
The twelfth elder brother was ignored and treated coldly by the emperor. He watched but did not do anything for the twelfth elder brother. He felt a little ashamed and wanted to help the twelfth elder brother as much as he could...

Jiubele Mansion, Ning'an Hall.
Shu Shu is talking to Mrs. Bo about moving to Haidian.
Mrs. Bo didn't worry about this and said: "Then let's move. We have to get there. It's getting hot early this year. If we don't move now, we probably won't be able to survive the Dragon Boat Festival."
Shu Shu said: "Brother's place is still too small. I don't know when I can build my own garden."
They have two villages in Haidian, one not far from Changchun Garden and the other at Baiwang Mountain.
It's just that other people didn't build gardens, and they couldn't build gardens either. Beyond Baiwang Mountain was Zhuangzi, which was uninhabitable. In the other Zhuangzi, two fish ponds were dug and a lot of fish were raised.
Nowadays, the live fish in our house are raised in our own fish ponds, including grass carp, carp, crucian carp, and loach.
I occasionally go fishing there, but it's not a good place to live.
The uncle said: "You are dragging your family with you. The emperor also sees it. It should be soon."
The old princes all have royal gardens in Haidian, and there are also many princes.
The emperor always protects his shortcomings and will not let his sons suffer.
Shu Shu said: "Then I'm looking forward to it. Otherwise, every time I go to Haidian to stay at my brother's house, the movement will be under everyone's nose, and it will be inconvenient."
If you have your own garden, it will be convenient for Amma and Enie to go there...

Haidian, South Second Institute.
After entering the courtyard, San Fujin's heart was heavy and he felt a little resentful. He blamed the third elder brother and said: "It's true, the sixth residence in the north is empty, why do you live here again? It takes several miles to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
inconvenient."
The third elder brother looked at him and said: "We are going to live in Beitou. What does Khan Amma think? The older elders have always lived here, so they will live here."
San Fujin frowned and said, "No one has fixed which courtyard belongs to which family. The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers are still young."
Here at Nanwusuo, I used to live in the eldest brother's house, the third brother's house, the fourth brother's house, the thirteenth brother, and the fourteenth brother.
When other princes came to Haidian, most of them stayed in Beiliu Suo.
The third elder brother waved his hand and sent the girl away, saying: "Don't be too deliberate. Also, if we go to Beitousuo, we will occupy Lao Wu's yard. It's strange that the emperor's grandmother would be happy with it, but living in the second house, there is no
Such rules."
Sanfujin said: "Then live in the sixth house and go to the other end."
The third elder brother shook his head and said: "As soon as the fifth and sixth houses are repaired, Lao Jiu and Lao Ten will live there. The two of them are not here now, and they will come in the summer. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to clear the yard. If not, Lao Jiu will definitely be petty.
Make a note of it."
San Fujin lowered his eyes, thinking about his deceased eldest daughter, and felt heartbroken.
She already regretted coming to Haidian.
I originally thought that it would be more convenient for the emperor and grandchildren to live here to study, but I didn't expect that they would still live here.
The third elder brother said: "If you live here, it is convenient to go to Tuoyuan Bookstore. Aren't you close to the Crown Princess? It is also convenient to greet the Crown Princess here."
The third elder brother did not think of the eldest son, but thought of the crown princess.
In the past few years since Concubine Rong was appointed to the palace, every time San Fujin went to the palace to pay her respects, he would go directly to Ningshou Palace with the Crown Princess and Shi Fujin. For this reason, San Fujin and the Crown Princess did seem to be closer.
San Fujin raised his head and glanced at Third Brother, and said: "I plan to get closer to the prince? Didn't I want to be a fisherman before? Why did I change my mind?"
The third elder brother looked at San Fujin and felt stupid. He explained patiently: "The prince is the crown prince. It is necessary to treat the prince with respect. I am not a fool. Why are you jumping out at this time? Those flattering words from outside.
, just listen, don’t take it seriously.”
His job is to be a fisherman, so there is no need to appear early.
As long as the prince remains the prince, he will not move.
He abides by etiquette, and etiquette naturally abides by him. This is his greatest asset.
Establish direct lineage, establish elders, establish virtuous people...
He is both long and virtuous...
He jumped out early, like the eldest brother, and bore the mark of a rebellious minister. What would the Manchu and Han officials think?
At that time, it will only become a target, or a river clam in which the snipe and the clam compete...
