Qinglian in the Red Chamber

The weather on this day was fine, which made people feel better for no reason.

Today, brother Jiu went to Yipinlou to check the accounts according to the monthly routine.

Generally speaking, Brother Jiu doesn't like to bring many people with him when he goes out, so He Shun'er will serve him.

Only, today is different.

The tenth elder brother ran to the ninth elder brother's house in the morning to wait.

The elder brother's house of these two people was not next to each other when the site was selected.

Not only are they not next to each other, but they are far apart.

Back then, ever since he learned about the location of Elder Brother's Mansion from the prince, Tenth Elder Brother had been depressed, and would wipe tears at Ninth Elder Brother from time to time.

"I ate and lived with Brother Nine for so many years, this sudden separation, in my heart..."

Elder Brother Ten uttered such a sentence sobbingly, and Brother Ninth, who was almost disgusted, vomited out the last night's meal.

roll!

Don't bring such a disgusting person this morning!

Brother Nine directly kicked Brother Ten, who looked like a little daughter-in-law, to the side.

"Anyway, he's a man, what does it look like to be crying all day?"

However, although Brother Nine said it happily, he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.

The regrets of the previous life are still imprinted in the heart of Brother Jiu, even though he recovered the memory of his real body, he knew that the previous life was just one of many experiences.But the friendship with Lao Shi in the previous life was indeed unusual, Brother Jiu took Lao Shi as his own younger brother and loved him from the bottom of his heart.Even to the point of death, Brother Jiu couldn't let go of it, and it was just this careless old ten.

Besides, the tenth elder brother would always look at people with those resentful little eyes, which made the ninth elder brother so troubled that he couldn't help it, so he went to the prince to beg for mercy.

"In a good location, there is really no way to have two elder brother's houses next to each other." The prince was also worried.The land in Kyoto is very expensive, and the good land boundary is full of houses.It's not a big deal for the two brothers to want to live next to each other, the prince is very happy to grant them.The point is, this is really no place!

"It doesn't matter what the good places are." Brother Jiu didn't care about these things, so he just turned his thumb and said: "Second Brother Lao, look for it. See where there are bigger places. Some will do."

Brother Nine spent a whole day with the Crown Prince in Yuqing Palace, and finally found a place big enough to meet Brother Ninety.

"This place is a bit out of the way, and I've wronged you two." The crown prince really felt that this place was out of the way, and it was completely incomparable with the elder brothers' residences of the previous elder brothers.

"I'm going to trouble the second brother today." Elder Brother Jiu said: "The ones that the second brother chose in the first place are naturally excellent. However, Xiao Twelve will open a mansion next year, and there will be Xiao Shi next year. Sanhe Xiaosi and the others. There are so many places in the capital, should they be allowed to live in places farther away?"

"Second Brother Quan just feels sorry for those little brothers."

In this way, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother finally lived next to each other as good brothers.

Those words of Brother Jiu in Yuqing Palace were sorted out by the secret guards and sent to Qianqing Palace.

After that day of Lord Kangxi.Concubine Yi was summoned to accompany her in Qianqing Palace for many days.

"Jiuye. News from Mingcui Garden arrived early this morning. Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Li smashed the pair of emerald jade bracelets that Mrs. Li gave her, and she was crying to see Mrs. He Shun'er replied. .

At this time, brother Jiu was eating breakfast.

"Tell them to stay in their own rooms. If anyone makes a fuss, go to the woodshed." Brother Jiu said without raising his head.With non-stop movements, he picked up a small bun with tofu skin, dipped it in the sauce and ate it.

"Yes." He Shun'er didn't have anything to do, and didn't bother Brother Jiu to have breakfast, so he bowed out and waited.

Seeing that He Shun'er had left, Elder Brother Ten raised his head from his own porridge bowl, and said with experience as if:

"Women are trouble."

When Brother Nine heard this, he looked at Brother Ten with beautiful peach blossom eyes, and said, "The women in your backyard are restless again?"

Elder Brother Shi sighed, and said in embarrassment: "I'm not complaining that Yi'eniang chose a bad person. At the beginning, everything was fine, but as time goes by, people change. Every day is like a black-eyed chicken, either one says that that is tricking the other, or that one says that this is rude. Alas! I am so troubled!"

Elder Brother Ten was very annoyed when he said that.

Brother Nine was expressionless.

"Then keep them cold. Or lock them up. You are a prince, elder brother, do you want to accommodate these people? It's not your son Fujin."

After Brother Jiu finished speaking, another small spring roll was eaten.

It is rare for the tenth elder brother to ignore the delicious food on the table, so he simply put down the bowls and chopsticks, leaned over to the ninth elder brother and asked mysteriously: "Ninth elder brother, have you ever faced someone? , there will be a feeling of rapid heartbeat?"

Brother Jiu was taken aback when he heard it, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No."

He only had the feeling of wanting to stay with one person, but it didn't feel like his heart was beating faster?

"I have. When facing the Guo Luoluo family, and when facing the Wang family, I will feel this way." Elder Brother Ten said in a rambling manner.

Brother Nine felt in his heart that the tenth old man was probably thinking about spring.

"...Ninth brother, do you think I am sick?"

In the end, Elder Brother Ten took Brother Ninth's hand and placed it on his forehead.

Brother Jiu curled his lips helplessly, and said, "You are normal. This is your normal reaction to seeing a beauty."

"Then why don't you, Brother Jiu?"

Brother Jiu sighed, and said helplessly:

"If you are like my brother and I see many real beauties every day, you will naturally not have feelings for those vulgar fans."

Ugh? !

real beauty?

Elder Brother Ten looked suspiciously at Elder Ninth, and asked, "When did Brother Ninth's house accept newcomers? Or, Brother Ninth, whose family's Gege do you like?"

"There are beauties here, why don't you take me to have a look?" At the end, Elder Brother Ten became even more aggrieved.He has seen Liu Shi and Li Shi before.Both of these two belonged to the Han army flag, and unlike those Manchurian girls who were sharp and sharp, their delicate and boneless appearance made people feel pity.

"Aren't you really looking at it?" Brother Jiu said, his peach blossom eyes gave Brother Ten a sideways look.

Elder Brother Ten was dumbfounded.

After being stunned for a while, Elder Brother Shi finally realized that the beauty that Brother Ninth said meant Brother Ninth himself?

Elder Brother Ten just wanted to make a complaint, Wang Po sold melons and boasted.But I thought about it.Brother Jiu is indeed born with an indistinguishable appearance of a monster.

But, brother nine, you are a man, okay?

Brother, I am not a broken sleeve, no matter how evil you look, I won't feel anything ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ! ! !

It's just that, compared with Brother Ninth's charming and handsome face, Brother Ten really felt that the Guo Luoluo and Wang families in his backyard, as well as the Liu and Li families in Ninth Brother's backyard, were all big peonies. The dog's tail grass on the side is completely incomparable.

present.Elder Brother Ten would have been born whenever he thought of Guo Luoluo and Wang.Feelings such as blushing, heartbeat, dizziness, etc.All disappeared.

The whole person felt refreshed.

"Fortunately, Huang Ama is wise and has already ordered Fujin for you, Brother Ninth. Otherwise, with Brother Ninth, you are more beautiful than a woman, I am afraid that it will be difficult to marry Fujin in this life. "

"I don't know if the future little sister-in-law Jiu can stand it? Don't just walk through the door. See Brother Jiu, you look like this, and then suffocate her to death."

Elder Brother Ten read brokenly.

That would be a really wronged death.

Ninth elder brother twitched his eyebrows when he heard that, he simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up tenth elder brother and left.

It's time to find something for Old Ten to do.To save him from worrying about whether his future Fujin will be suffocated to death by his face!

It's nothing to worry about!

In front of Yipin Building, Brother Jiu and Brother Ten got off the carriage.

Akesh, the big shopkeeper who is rarely seen on weekdays, was already waiting there. When he saw Brother Nine and Brother Ten, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Qianer:

"The slave pays respects to the ninth master and the tenth master. The two masters are auspicious."

"The rooms are all ready, and there is also the tea that Lord Jiu likes to drink."

Akeshi led the two of them to the private room and said, "The ledger is also ready. I will send it to Master Jiu right away. Do you have any orders?"

With that said, he arrived at the door of the private room.

"Give me some food." Brother Ten said, "I didn't eat two bites this morning."

Is it because my father won't let you eat it!

Elder Brother Nine stared at him, causing Elder Brother Shi to shrink his neck, and said flatteringly, "Hey, I will pay the money myself. I will pay the money myself..."

"What would Master Ten want to eat?"

Uh? !

Elder Brother Ten scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "Look at it, but don't give me those vegetarian ones, I'm not that grass-eating rabbit..."

Brother Ten was talking nonsense, but Brother Ninth's handsome face turned dark.

Vegetarians are rabbits?

Brother Nine glanced at Brother Ten who was talking to Akesh with an uneasy expression, stretched out his long arms and grabbed Brother Ten by the collar and carried him into the private room.

He Shun'er suppressed a smile in her heart, and stretched out her hand to close the door of the private room.

Akeshi was actually holding back his laughter, but he still wanted to ask a question, so he stopped He Shun'er and asked, "It's not even noon yet, so it's okay to make those big dicks for Master Shi, right? "

He Shun'er and Akesh are quite familiar, so it's no secret.

"Master Shi and Master Jiu have breakfast together. You also know that our master always eats lightly in the morning. I'm afraid it doesn't suit Master Shi's appetite. You can just give me some small soup dumplings and meat porridge."

In the private room, Elder Brother Ten belatedly realized what he had just said.

"Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother, don't be annoyed. Old Ten, I was bald just now. I didn't say that Ninth Brother is a rabbit, I really don't mean that! I mean that I am not that vegetarian rabbit... ..."

Brother Nine got angrier the more he listened, so he reached out and pinched Brother Ten's ear.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, Brother Ninth, please lighten up!" Brother Ten wailed, "It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!..."

"Next time, don't go to my house for food!"

Brother Nine and Elder Brother Ten were making a fuss, when they heard the door being knocked several times, He Shun'er said from outside: "Master Ten, the breakfast I made for you is here."

After finishing speaking, He Shun'er pushed open the door, and the boy who served the dishes came in.

Elder Brother Shi patted He Shun'er appreciatively, and said, "Xiao Shunzi, you are not bad."

Well, he knows how to save face for the master, he is really a good slave.

He Shun'er smiled.He retreated back to guard outside the private room.

In the private room, Brother Nine was sitting by the window "cracking" his abacus and checking the books.

After all, this is a business run by all the brothers. It is best not to make any mistakes in the accounts, or you will get yourself into trouble, and the face of the prince is not good. Who is the big shopkeeper Akeshi is the prince? What about His Majesty's people?

Elder Brother Ten glanced at Elder Nine while eating small soup dumplings and porridge with sour bamboo shoots and duck slices.

Not to mention, my ninth brother is really a beauty!

Yipinlou was very profitable, and Brother Jiu was very happy after doing the calculations.

Close the ledger.Brother Jiu said to Akesh: "You have done a good job. You have helped your brothers earn a lot of money. What do you want?"

Akesh has been working with Brother Jiu for a long time.Knowing this master's temperament, he is not used to those who are around.I do have one thing I want to ask, but it's just a little difficult to ask.

Akshi secretly glanced at Brother Jiu who was drinking tea.

The sun is shining today, and brother Jiu is sitting by the window again.This ninth elder brother bathed in the sun.It's really exciting.

Akesh suppressed a trace of strangeness in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "The slave family has a niece, who is the daughter of the elder brother of the slave. She looks pretty good and has a good temper. The slave, the slave wants to find a marriage for this niece." ..."

After Akesh finished speaking, he knelt directly to the ground.

Elder Brother Shi felt a little annoyed when he heard this, and spat in his heart: This dead slave.Who is my ninth brother? I want you, a girl from the coat servant's family, to serve you!

Although the tenth elder brother wanted to throw this slave out directly, he saw that his ninth elder brother didn't make a sound.It's not easy to do it for me, I just pinch my fingers until there is a "cracking" sound.

He Shun'er heard this sound outside the house, and broke into a cold sweat for Akesh.He has served Brother Jiu the longest, and he can guess a little bit about his master's thoughts.Master Jiu can't look down on ordinary vulgar fans, and the two locked up in Mingcui Garden in Jiubeile Mansion are still young.Master Jiu never let them serve him.What my grandfather misses is the master in Yangzhou.

Brother Nine is still smiling, but no matter how you look at that smile, it makes people panic.

Aksh panicked a long time ago, when he heard the sound of Elder Brother Ten pinching his fingers behind him, he panicked.He was really oily, how could he be flattered by his brother and sister-in-law, and think that he is the proud person of Master Jiu, and he can be the master of this master?Really dizzy.

Akeshi knelt there, his intestines were green with regret.

"I'll go back and talk to the second brother of the prince, and see who the second brother has under his command." Brother Jiu said slowly, as if nothing happened in his tone, just like saying that the weather is good today.

Although it was different from what he expected, Akesh didn't dare to say anything after all, and just exited the private room in despair.

Outside, Akesh raised his sleeves and wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead.

Hush!Scary!

He Shun'er looked at Akesh coldly, thinking that the shopkeeper of this building might be changed.

"Why did Ninth Brother let this slave go like this?" Tenth Brother said dissatisfied.

"What did you say?" Ninth elder brother raised his eyebrows, and asked tenth elder brother sideways, "Did you say that you want to give me your girl?"

Isn't that what Akash means?The tenth elder brother felt that he was confused, scratched his head and looked at the meek ninth elder brother in bewilderment.

"People just ask for a marriage. He is the servant of the second brother, so the marriage and so on should be decided by the second brother and the second sister-in-law."

Oh.

Oh okay!

Elder Brother Shi suddenly realized, hehe, hey.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew that the slaves under his sect wished to give his girl to brother Jiu, it would be fruitless.A month ago, the Crown Princess wanted to tell Brother Nine about her cousin, but it didn't work.If the princess knew what Akeshi was thinking, she might arrange for someone to marry off his daughter immediately.

Elder Brother Ten left Yipinlou in a good mood.

Brother Nine followed Old Ten slowly.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Brother Beauty, please stay!"

Immediately afterwards, Brother Nine and Brother Ten were blocked.
