There was a small banquet at Xinjun Prince's Mansion, and various news came out within two days.
The politeness of the eighth elder brother and the rudeness of the ninth elder brother are both one of the focuses.
The tenth elder brother has always paid attention to the news about the ninth elder brother.
As soon as this gossip came out, it quickly reached the ears of the tenth prince.
Unhappily, there is another tenth brother.
It's just different from Kangxi. Kangxi's anger was directed at Manduhu, while the anger of the ten elder brothers was directed at several elders in the prince's palace.
They were the host's family, and their hospitality was not thorough, and they also caused gossip. Naturally, they should be dealt with accordingly.
A loser who hasn't even passed the examination as a general dares to treat the prince lightly. What the hell?
As a result, there were reports from the imperial censor about the "illegal things" committed by several elders of Prince Xinjun's palace.
There were those who borrowed money without permission, those who forcibly bought flag fields, and one who committed adultery with a servant's wife.
All of a sudden, Xinjun Prince's Mansion became the biggest talking point in teahouses in the capital.
Even the female relatives of Prince Xin were taken out.
Finally, we came to the conclusion that this county prince was of noble birth, and his legitimate wife was also decent. He was first named Baile, and his title was not low. He once served as the general of Dingxi and defeated the rebel Wang Fuchen. However, he turned out to be extremely incompetent and had no merit. He later lost the general and took Baile with him.
All cut.
This became an idle clan, and concubines in the future were all under the name of the concubine or a member of the family, and few of the concubines they gave birth to were worthy of success.
Nowadays, when it comes to picking faults, one must pick the right one.
Everyone talks about this young brother in Prince Xin's Mansion with contempt.
The younger ones are just fine. They are less than 20 years old and have not started to take the exams yet, so they can’t see their merits. The older ones above took the exams, and only one of them barely passed the exam and got the lowest grade.
General.
The rest did not pass the exam.
Any information concerning the clan's children and censors will be verified by the clan's mansion.
Prince An saw these impeachments and wondered who was behind the scenes.
This Xin County Prince's Mansion has been careful. They only invited the princes of their own banner to the nobility banquet and did not even hold a clan banquet, which also irritated people.
He did not expect to be related to Jiu Age, but he thought of Dong E's nephews and the other descendants of the house chiefs descended from Prince Yutong.
After all, Dong E was given the title of county king because he was born from the Fu Jin Dynasty, and the son was more valuable than the mother, so he surpassed other common people from the Fu Jin Dynasty and became the first person on the candidate list for the title.
However, his sons were all concubines and their status was inferior. If they could find fault and were not allowed to inherit the title, then when Dong E died, the title would still be transferred to another house.
Prince An met the eighth prince and said, "Which room made such a big noise? You can't wait, right?"
The Eighth Prince thought for a while and said, "Could it be the old Duke's side?"
This is talking about Dong E's half-brother, who has been serving as a favor to the country.
That person is also a nephew of the Tong family and one of the previous candidates for Prince Xin.
Among the eight princes of Yutong County, the seventh son Dong E and the eighth son Fei Yanggu are still alive today.
Prince An couldn't say for the moment, he just said: "Several elders from Prince Xin's Mansion have withdrawn their examination books..."
If you don't take the exam, you are thinking about being the eldest son of the county prince.
Dong Er will be in his sixtieth year, so it is time to start thinking about the candidate for the heir.
After hearing this, Eighth Brother's heart moved and he said: "That's not necessarily an outsider. It's impossible to say that someone is shouting to catch a thief."
Prince An thought about it and realized that it was possible.
It is a bit too hasty for outsiders to criticize at this time.
On the contrary, the competition between brothers within the Xin County Prince's Palace may have already begun.
Prince An sighed and said: "There will be no more wars. The exams for this title are very strict, and the excitement in each government is indispensable..."
The eighth prince lowered his eyes.
In other clan families, the more children and grandchildren they have, the more violent the quarrels become.
So many children and grandchildren...
There is only one son who holds the title of heir, and the others have to surrender and take exams for titles.
After leaving the clan's residence, he went to the outer house, changed his clothes, took off his yellow belt, and headed to Nancheng with two handsome guards.
He is already twenty-three and has dozens of wives and concubines, so he cannot deceive himself.
What's more, as the emperor's grandchildren entered the palace to study one after another, he became anxious.
The princes are all in their twenties, and the number of the princes and grandchildren is estimated to be hundreds.
In this way, the emperor's grandsons that the emperor can remember are the ones who first entered the palace to study.
Just like the prince, what the prince's father taught him was that the eight people in the front were treated as younger brothers and left alone.
So, Eighth Prince asked someone to inquire about the doctor carefully in the outer city and went to see a doctor today.
It's not that I haven't thought about taking the doctor to a private house, but in that case, there is no guarantee that he will be completely isolated from the prying eyes of others.
On the contrary, he hid his identity and only went to see a doctor as an ordinary person, which made it easier for him to hide the information.
"This man has insufficient kidney yang, which causes the fire in the vital gate to weaken and the essence to become cold and lose temperature. We should warm the yang to help the fire and restore the yang energy of the five internal organs..."
The old doctor is quite famous in kidney disease. Although he is seventy years old, he looks energetic and his pulse is stable.
Just to check the symptoms of infertility, I also need to check the semen to see if it is thin.
This is embarrassing.
It was also for this reason that Eighth Prince delayed investigating the matter in detail for several years.
This cannot be seen from pulse diagnosis alone.
When I came here today, my eighth brother put down his identity and just acted as an obedient patient. The old doctor also looked at him and asked him about it.
The eighth prince lowered his eyes and frowned slightly.
Insufficient kidney yang?
How many men like to hear this?
Just "cold"...
This is the first time I have heard such remarks.
He raised his head and looked at the old doctor and said, "Perhaps you can tell when it was insufficient? When we first got married, we had it checked by others, and there was no problem. My wife also had pregnancy reports when she came in, but she didn't keep the fetus..."
In the past few years, I have taken Ping'an's pulse only once every ten days at most. There is nothing unusual about it, otherwise it would have been obvious on the pulse record.
The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "I must have got married five years ago, right?"
The eighth elder brother nodded.
The old doctor asked: "Did you have a bad time in bed five years ago? Did you have some symptoms of weakness after that?"
The eighth prince endured it and did not change his expression.
At that time, he was dragged down by his wife and was confined at home. In order to relieve his depression, he did indulge in the front study for a while.
He knew that in order to cure the disease, one should not hide the disease and avoid medical treatment, so he nodded.
The old doctor said: "It was delayed. I saw a doctor early at that time. I was treated with kidney tonifying and essence replenishing, and I have already recovered."
The eighth prince listened, his heart heavy, and said: "What if we want to start the treatment now?"
The old doctor thought for a while and said, "Uncle Gui Geng?"
"Twenty to three..."
Eighth Prince said.
The old doctor calculated in his mind and said: "If I cultivate my character and regulate my body carefully, I should be able to get some movement within thirty miles; if I delay in the meantime, it will be thirty miles away..."
seven years...
The eighth prince felt cold all over.
Seven years later, the eldest sons of each government are almost ready to grow up...
He really couldn't be happy, and he didn't have the time to recover slowly.
"What if heavy medicine is given?"
The eighth prince said: "Even if it cannot be done within three years, it is best within five years..."
The old doctor muttered: "'It's three parts of the medicine that are poisonous.' This heavy medicine is used to nourish the kidneys but also damage the kidneys. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive..."
This man can still have children in his sixties or seventies, so why should he be anxious?
The old doctor advised: "Last year, I gave birth to a young son. There are many patients here who gave birth to children in their forties or fifties. There is no need to rush..."
The eighth prince glanced at the old doctor, he knew this before.
If he hadn't found out that the old doctor was really bad at treating kidney disease, he wouldn't have come to see him privately.
He opened a banker's ticket and placed it in the old doctor's hand. It showed the denomination of one hundred taels.
"Excuse me, please give me two prescriptions, one for the slow recipe and one for the quick recipe..." Eighth Prince said.
The old doctor knows that this person will not listen to advice.
Although he still disagreed, he didn't say anything more and wrote two prescriptions.
Brother Eight put it away and said, "When will the party be changed?"
The old doctor said: "If you use the slow prescription, you can come back in six months; if you use the fast prescription, you can come back in three months to change the prescription."
The eighth prince nodded, stood up and left...

North Fifth House, front yard.
Watching the fifth elder brother finish a plate of cakes and drink three cups of tea, the ninth elder brother said: "Are you here to make ends meet? Then don't just eat the dumplings, just ask the kitchen to prepare food...
…”
The fifth elder brother drank two more sips of tea, gargled all the scum in his mouth, swallowed it, and then said: "It's neither early nor late, why bother? I'm here to trouble you with something.
"
Brother Jiu was not happy to hear this and said, "I just ask you for anything. Why are you pretending to be polite?"
It's not someone else.
This is my brother.
Even if you want to borrow money, you still have to raise money.
The fifth elder brother said: "Isn't it because you have so many children that it's not easy? I'm sorry!"
As soon as Brother Jiu heard this, he understood and said: "You want to send your eldest niece to come to class? What's not easy to say? If you don't mention it, I will mention it too. The little sisters get together to go to school, and they also
It would be great to have more friends..."
The fifth elder brother said: "You have many children here, I can't help you, and you and your siblings have to worry about it."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Stop talking nonsense, this is what others do? Besides, there is nothing to worry about. Don't you have a sister-in-law to take care of your niece's daily life? If you really want to send her to the fifth home, my brother can't accept it. This
There are few side rooms and it is inconvenient to live there. When the two nieces from the Seventh Brother's family came over a while ago, they moved out Fengsheng and Akdan; just for school, not to mention the eldest niece, just a few more nieces.
It’s nothing, just prepare some gifts for Lao Cao and Shuda later..."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I will go and tell you personally about my brothers and sisters in a while. There is one more thing I want to tell you. Tana is a bit clumsy and has not yet figured it out. She is also struggling to learn her homework."
Brother Jiu disagreed and said, "It's said to be in class. Most of the time I'm either listening to stories or playing in different ways. There's no serious homework."
Fifth Brother also went to the back to see it before.
Indeed, as Brother Jiu said, the total time spent teaching the Three Character Classic and Mandarin every day is less than an hour. The remaining time is spent playing indoors or in the yard.
After Brother Ninth agreed that his niece would go to class, he told He Yuzhu: "Go and tell Fujin, I will take Brother Five over to talk, and we will eat directly at home at noon."
He Yuzhu agreed and went to the main courtyard to send a message...
