Chapter 558: Begging for mercy and sacrificing monthly tickets)
After the couple had finished their meal and the dining table was removed, Brother Jiu remembered why he was angry just now.
He looked at Shu Shu angrily and said, "Just now Lao Shi Fujin was waiting for him to come back at the door..."
Only then did Shu Shu realize that this was the reason.
This is because when someone else’s wife feels better, she starts to despise her own shortcomings.
She said nothing and looked at the sewing box beside the kang.
Inside is a piece of Songjiang cloth.
It has been cut and half of the sling has been sewn.
This is a vest made for Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu followed her gaze and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, saying, "Is this for me?"
As he spoke, he thought of something, took Shu Shu's hand and looked at her fingers carefully.
I scoured it again and there were no red spots.
The ring she was wearing was a bit strange, it was light yellow, looked like gold but not gold, and looked like copper but not copper.
"Is this a ring? It looks weird, like a ring. Why are you wearing gold at this time?"
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu looked at his hand with a bit of pride and said: "This may be the only one in the Qing Dynasty, or the only one in the world!"
"Antique? How come it looks brand new?"
Brother Jiu was extremely curious and looked at it carefully.
It's half an inch wide and has small holes all over it.
Maybe Shu Shu was serious, but he could see that it was a bit unique.
Shu Shu couldn't help laughing.
She opened the small drawer under the sewing box, and inside were a dozen similar rings, including silver, copper, and two gold ones, which looked about the same size as the ones on Shu Shu's hand.
"This is a thimble. It has been around for a long time. It was either copper or silver before. I asked the people from the Silver House to make this. 75% gold was mixed with 25% silver, and the texture became hard..."
As she said that, she pointed to the two gold rings in the sewing box and said: "These two are 92% gold plus silver..."
"The thimble continues to numb?"
Brother Jiu thought of a word.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "That one is an action, which was explained later. This one is an object. There is still a difference..."
Brother Jiu no longer had the previous joy, but shook his head and said: "There is no need to think about this specifically. From now on, except for the purse, I will let others do the sewing. My hands are already rough."
The needle and thread are exposed, so he can show off to outsiders.
The other clothes are inside, so you can't just pull them out and show them to others.
Shu Shu pursed her lips and said, "This is a close-fitting piece. I don't want others to touch it."
Brother Jiu felt as if he had eaten honey and felt that he was being unreasonable.
We are all an old married couple, so there is no need to do anything imaginary.
If Shu Shu really went to the front yard to meet him, he would be afraid that she would be exposed to the sun.
His eyes fell on Shu Shu's plain clothes, and he thought of two major events today.
The death of Peng Chun and the matter of the meteor brand.
Since the deceased was the most important, he first talked about Peng Chun's death.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt more complicated.
This is only reasonable and reasonable.
Otherwise, he would not sit back and watch his son falsely accuse Qi Xi.
He himself is getting old, and even Mongolia has recovered from his illness. All that is left is to take care of himself and survive his old age.
Qi Xi is in his prime, and the Sacred Heart is still there, which can ensure that the Dong E clan will not lose its reputation for twenty years.
Unfortunately, he met the reckless third elder brother and passed away with regret.
"You said that the third child is so lucky. Whenever he delays for a day, even for half an hour, Prince Jian will get there first..."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "You deserve it. It's none of his business if I take you back to Ning. If you get the news, you'll have a thorn in your butt..."
Zhijun Prince's Mansion is adjacent to Sanbeile Mansion, located on the boundary of Zhenghong Banner, just to the north of Dutong Mansion, and separated by a street.
Shu Shu and Jiu Age returned to Ning. Even if they were traveling in a light carriage and had twenty guards following them, they could not hide it from others.
Shu Shu listened and thought of four words in her mind.
The Butterfly Effect.
It’s really one link after another.
In Kangxi's heart, the third elder brother's impression was probably at the bottom of the list.
You know, this person was listed by Kangxi as the first candidate for the new prince after the second prince was deposed.
Shu Shu stroked his forehead and said: "I'd better be more respectful in front of you from now on. After all, who are the elders and the younger..."
I'm afraid that Third Brother may hold a grudge in his heart.
Several times of bad luck were all related to Brother Ninth.
Shu Shu thought that she could also keep a small account for Third Brother to be more prepared in the future.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "With his stinky virtues, I am afraid of him?! It's so bad. You can say he is stupid. He can also think of ways to deceive people and plan to get me to top the tank. Can you say he is smart?
, just burying the trap in front of him, if that person is so thin, he might be able to talk to him, but can I let him take advantage of that?"
Shu Shu was not happy either.
This vat is not only the source of resentment and cold eyes from the government, but also the source of gossip in the capital.
"It's quite wicked. I'll repay it when I find an opportunity..."
Shu Shu gritted her teeth and said.
Brother Jiu was curious about Shu Shu's protective attitude. He nodded with a smile and said, "I'm thinking the same thing, but I can't do it now. After a while, when everything looks good, if I try to trick him again, then others will
Unexpectedly, above our heads..."
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
I was also reckless before.
Whether you are happy or not is shown on your face.
This time I started to learn yin...
It is also evolving.
When she heard that she had found the "Meteor Star" sign, she sat upright.
It’s actually placed in Xizhu’s study!
"It started a year ago, and it's been half a year..."
Brother Jiu said.
Shu Shu's eyes widened.
I have never heard that wood and cotton can block radiation!
On the contrary, Kangxi ordered people to put it in copper, iron and tin boxes, which sounds very reliable.
"Is Xi Zhu going to die?" Brother Jiu also thought of this, looked at Shu Shu and said, "Why don't you ask an imperial doctor to go over and take a look at him tomorrow?"
Shu Shu said: "The emperor asked me to leave this matter alone, so I won't get involved. That may not be the case."
Her heart clenched.
She now hopes everything is just a coincidence.
Maybe she is overthinking, there is no such thing as radiation.
Seeing that she was restless, Brother Jiu said, "What's wrong?"
Shu Shu couldn't help but hugged Brother Jiu and said hoarsely: "If that brand is really bad, what will Ah Mu do..."
Madam Bo also used that when she was young.
Since it is for the purpose of seeking a child, the days of waiting will not be short.
Brother Jiu hurriedly comforted him: "It's been over thirty years. If there was something wrong, it would have been over by now. I thought about it, but it's probably your two cousins who didn't have the chance to land. The cousins blocked the disaster for my uncle and my mother-in-law...
"
"Is that so?"
Shu Shu gave birth to hope.
Brother Jiu said: "Of course, if my uncle and mother-in-law look so healthy, it must be what I said. Otherwise, we are just making a false alarm. The meteor brand is not that evil, it is just an ordinary piece of rain iron!"
It actually makes sense inexplicably.
Shu Shu's heart was relieved and he said: "I hope it was a false alarm!"
Brother Jiu nodded, he also expected this.
He reported this to the emperor just in case, and had no intention of exchanging this for credit.
Even if it is a fuss and fuss, as long as everyone is safe, there is nothing to be disappointed about.
*
Zhenghongqi, Dong Egong Mansion.
The funeral shed has been set up.
It's just a mess.
The dojo is incomplete.
There is only one group of monks and one group of monks, and the Taoist priests have not been invited yet.
Zengshou was the eldest son from his original wife. After his father died, his son succeeded him. He was supposed to be the new head of the family and preside over the funeral.
But because of the retaliation of brothers Fu Han and Fu Hai, the remaining brothers did not obey him.
The Duke-in-law felt that Luo was the fourth step-wife. Although she had been granted a royal title, she was not a high-class wife, and she did not have enough confidence in front of her stepsons.
The first three ladies who went there, except for the step-wife who was a daughter of the clan, the first wife Guarjia and the third step-wife Hesheli also came from a wealthy family.
Now that Peng Chun has passed away, uncles from several in-laws have also come to support their nephews.
There are also two illegitimate children from outside who also come to the door and want to wear sackcloth and show their mourning.
They are outsiders and cannot be included in the Dong E family's genealogy, but they can divide the family property, but the share is halved compared to the Dong E family brothers.
They worry that if they don't do enough at this time, people will be picky, and they will be left behind when the family is separated.
Now when I walk in, I cry all over the place, and it looks like I'm singing a big show.
The third elder brother spent a long time in the Ministry of Rites and came to Peng Chun's house in the evening. What he saw was this messy situation.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but blush.
The task of attending to the funeral is his.
He sat at the front and sent people back to Baylor Mansion to call his staff over and distribute them one by one, so that the funeral here was somewhat decent.
The brothers of Dong E's family were angry at first because he was so anti-customer.
But the third elder brother was so angry that no fool came forward to argue with the third elder brother.
There are no family divisions in the government, and there are now nine brothers inside and outside.
In the future, except for the eldest son, all of them will become side branches, and Baylor Mansion will still be the high-ranking family they want to fawn over.
When the third elder brother saw him, he felt even more contemptuous.
Seeing that Qi Xi was among the mourners and did not go in front of anyone, the third elder brother thought of how embarrassed he was in front of the emperor at noon, and looked at Qi Xi and became a little angry.

If Qi Xi hadn't been lax in running the family and allowed the treacherous nephew to run wild, brothers Fu Han and Fu Hai wouldn't have had their whims.
He thought for a while, then sent someone to invite Qi Xi over, saying: "Master Qi is the only one of the close brothers on my father-in-law's side. Why is Master Qi still a heretic? Is he supposed to come out to attend to the funeral?"
Qi Xi glanced at Third Brother and said: "Although we are close relatives, there is a lawsuit between us, so it is difficult to intervene. Sanbeile, you should work harder if you can!"
Hearing him mention the lawsuit, the third elder brother became sullen again and said: "Master Qi is the elder after all, why are you still angry with the younger generation? It's just a farce..."
Qi Xi looked at Third Brother and asked, "San Beile wants to mediate this matter?"
The third elder brother wanted to nod, but when he thought of what the emperor said at noon, and the foul mouth of the ninth elder brother, he shook his head and said: "This is Dong E's family matter, and I don't want to get involved. I just thought that my father-in-law left in a hurry, and I was afraid that
I don’t want to see the family fall apart.”
Qi Xi clasped his fists in the direction of the Forbidden City and said: "Since the lawsuit has been handed over to the imperial court, the slaves have to rely on the Holy Judgment!"
The third elder brother frowned and said: "Brothers Fuhan and Fuhai are not only your cousins, but their biological mother is also the granddaughter of Prince Lilie. You should also think more about your affection."
Qi Xi looked at Third Brother and said sternly: "San Beile, it's not that you are a heartless slave, but this is an example that cannot be repeated. There are hundreds of meritorious families in the Eight Banners, and they are the mainstay of the Eight Banners. If this is the first of its kind, every time the title is passed on in the future,
, everything will be bloody, and the Eight Banners will be in chaos!"
Third Brother: "..."
Qi Xi sighed: "For the sake of the stability of the court and the stability of the Eight Banners, even if others say that I am cruel, I will admit it..."
snort!
His eldest brother was feeling uncomfortable after his death. Two little brats jumped out to trouble him. If he didn't teach him a lesson, no one would dare to bite him in the face in the future...
