Qinglian in the Red Chamber

"Yo, the beauty is here."

Brother Jiu heard such a sentence when he raised his foot, and his body froze.For a moment, he really wanted to turn around and pull that broken stone out of the crowd to beat him up.

But this thought only flashed in Brother Jiu's mind for a moment and then passed.

whispering sound!

Such a violent act of beating someone is not at all in line with the master's taste.

Grandpa decided, after returning to the fairy world, grandpa must kick this broken stone into the demon world to experience it a hundred and eighty times.

In an instant, Brother Jiu decided the tragic and experienced life of Shenying's waiter for thousands of years in the future.

Right now, elder brother Jiu returned to normal after a short pause, but the strength under his feet fully demonstrated the serious dissatisfaction in this master's heart at this time.

"Beauty," a fan lifted Brother Jiu's chin very frivolously, the crown prince smiled rather obscenely, and said in his mouth, "Come give me a smile..."

Before Brother Nine could react, the prince bent down and fell aside with a smile.

"Oh, oh, I'm so lonely...haha...hahahaha...laugh, I'm so lonely...haha..."

Seeing the crown prince laughing so hard that he was almost out of breath, elder brother Jiu felt the corners of his eyes twitching.

This smile is really dazzling.

I really want, I really want, I really want to kick the prince away...

"Hmph." Brother Jiu snorted softly, sat down on his own, and began to spoil the prince's good tea.

The crown prince almost laughed so hard, he caught sight of brother Jiu's slightly darkened face out of the corner of his eyes, and belatedly remembered that he was an older brother, and it was really unkind to make fun of his younger brother like this.

"Cough cough." The prince clenched his fist with one hand, put it to his mouth and coughed twice, and said consolingly: "It's just someone who can't stand on the stage talking nonsense there. His family is just from a coat, just his old man. Grandma nursed Huang Ama once, so she is an old man who has served Huang Ama. However, no matter what she does, she is nothing more than a slave. If the ninth brother is not pleasing to that person, ask the person from Zhan Shifu to hold the orphan Give the warrant to Shuntian Fuyin, it can be beaten or killed according to your will."

When the prince heard about this gossip, he really burst out laughing.However, the prince did not forget to ask someone to investigate Jia Baoyu's background.Who is this?The street is so molested/player emperor elder brother, it must not be that someone looked at Lao Jiu not pleasing to the eye, and deliberately made such a drama to ruin Lao Jiu's reputation, right?Officials were strictly forbidden to engage in prostitution in this dynasty, but they couldn't help being masculine. The literati and bureaucrats even felt that masculinity was a very elegant thing.If a young official has one or two scandals with men, everyone will regard it as a romantic affair of a young man who is not romantic.If the young official is replaced by the prince.hehe.That's another story.At least.The title of "Meng Lang" cannot be escaped.Huang Ama has a very high reputation. If Lao Jiu gets such a name, don't even think about entrusting the prince next year. It would be nice not to be completely rejected by Huang Ama.

This strategy.Very vicious.

With Lao Jiu's appearance, once this happened, no one would believe that Lao Jiu was innocent.

The prince had already drawn Lao Jiu into his circle.As soon as this incident happened, the crown prince thought on the one hand that this incident was aimed at Lao Jiu, and on the other hand, maybe someone was targeting him.The crown prince has somewhat inherited some of Lord Kangxi's suspicious nature, so at this time, conspiracy theories are naturally unavoidable.Is this someone trying to drag himself into trouble by beating Lao Jiu?Lao Jiu often goes in and out of Yuqing Palace, and is very close to him.If Lao Jiu got such a title.How can I be clean in the eyes of others?

Incest, is this the crime that those individuals are going to charge themselves?

The prince looks very kind on weekdays, but he is not a vegetarian.He thought about this matter thoroughly, and came up with many conspiratorial conclusions.

However, at the end of the investigation, it was found that the person locked up in Shuntian Mansion was involved in the old man beside Huang Ama.this.It made the prince feel a bit tricky.

The prince knew that Lord Kangxi had some feelings for those old people who had served him, and he was usually favored, so he would not punish them easily.

The prince really couldn't and didn't dare to directly take action on this matter.Although he said that he would hand over this person to Brother Nine, he could beat or kill him.However, it was because Prince Ren felt that elder brother Jiu was a generalist, so he wouldn't just deal with him directly.

Brother Jiu sipped the fragrant tea lightly, but didn't say anything.How could he fail to understand what the crown prince said inside and outside the words.

In fact, brother Jiu didn't pay much attention to this matter.Shenying originally had such a temperament, so Brother Jiu didn't think too much about it. He didn't know that the crown prince himself had a conspiracy theory, and it was just Jia Baoyu's bad luck.

Brother Jiu's silence, in the eyes of the prince, turned into a helpless compromise, which made the prince's heart twist and hurt.

If it wasn't for Lao Jiu to get close to him, how could there be such an innocent disaster?

Those people themselves don't value kinship, and they don't see brotherly love in others.

Really hateful!

The prince directly regarded this incident as a fire at the city gate that affected the fish in the pond.

"Don't be so disheartened, the second brother won't let you be wronged in vain." The crown prince comforted with a 12-point apology.

"Look at what the second brother said. The younger brother has not been treated in any way..." His voice lowered, Brother Jiu smiled, but his eyes were still downcast.

This expression made the crown prince feel more and more uncomfortable, but there was nothing to do, so he could only sigh heavily in his heart.

Brother Nine looked as usual, but his mind changed sharply.Where did the prince think of this?Why does this look look so weird?How do I pick it up next time?

The prince himself felt that it was meaningless to talk about it any longer, so he changed the subject and asked, "I'm here today, but what's the matter?"

"It wasn't a big deal at first, but I just wanted to tell the second brother about the business situation of Yipin Building." Seeing that the prince changed the topic himself, Brother Jiu also returned to normal.

"Now, there is really a matter that needs my second brother's advice."

After finishing speaking, Brother Jiu told the prince exactly what Akeshi said today.

"Yipin Building is very profitable. As the big shopkeeper, Akesh earns a lot of money on weekdays. In addition, we give Akesh a lot of rewards at the end of each year. My brother thought about such a lucrative It’s not good to use the same person all the time. This heart has been raised. Second brother, think about it. Are there any capable candidates under your command, can we change every few years?”

The prince pondered for a moment, and then he said: "This Akesh, Gu Yuan seems to be a good person, capable of doing things, and very honest. I didn't expect it. It's only been a few years. I am big-hearted and courageous. Also fat. Hehe..."

A sneer overflowed, and a hideous look flashed across the prince's eyes.

only.Brother Jiu has sharp eyes.Somewhat captured a little.My heart is even more puzzled.Could it be that something happened recently, but I don't know...

"Don't worry about Akesh, I'll take care of it." The prince said as calmly as a mountain.He copied the teapot casually, how many cups did Lao Jiu drink?What a waste of this good tea...

"Is there no one under your command?" The crown prince took a sip of tea, sighed, and said, "We brothers, Gu Zi believes in you, so don't be so narrow-minded. If you have capable men under your command, It's the position of Akeshi. Do you think that everyone in Yuqing Palace can do business?"

East Palace Zhanshi Mansion, those are all future reserve officials.Who is willing to lower himself to do that businessman's work?Even if Yipinlou is making a lot of money every day, these scholars also feel that they are not vulgar after being stained with that copper stink.

"Hehe. Don't my second brother know? He Shun'er is the only one who can do something. He is also the housekeeper of my house, and he is very busy. .”

The crown prince frowned and glanced sideways at Brother Jiu, and said, "I don't know what you think, but you've opened the house anyway. Why don't you call some disciples?"

Brother Jiu just smiled, but didn't answer.

That smile was clean, but the prince felt that he seemed to see the deep sadness hidden in that smile.

The sadness seems to be deep and deep, so thick that it is suffocating.

The prince felt that his whole body would be overwhelmed by that sadness.When he woke up, he realized that he had forgotten to breathe just now.

This feeling is too uncomfortable.

The prince took a few deep breaths and decided to break the dull and suffocating atmosphere.

"Let's stay here for dinner at noon today. Your second sister-in-law got some new recipes," the prince paused, and continued with a little teasing: "The taste of Jiangnan."

Brother Jiu really felt that there was something wrong with the prince today, and he was doing good and bad for a while, what was the reason for it?

However, the recipe over there in Gangnam?Could it be, as I thought?

"Listen to Second Brother." Brother Nine responded very kindly.

Different from the strong taste in the past, today at noon, there are only a few home-cooked dishes.Pleurotus eryngii slices in oyster sauce, scrambled eggs with whitebait, fried fungus with water chestnuts, steamed salted eggs with squid, emerald tofu, and a cup of mixed mushroom soup.

"These are all my new recipes. I heard that most people in the south of the Yangtze River eat like this." The princess said with a smile, "These are all light and light, completely different from what we usually eat. I taste However, I think it’s not bad, it’s very refreshing. Ninth Brother, let’s try it.”

As she said that, the Crown Princess personally picked up a slice of Pleurotus eryngii with chopsticks and gave it to Brother Jiu.

"Thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

Brother Jiu took a sip carefully. Although the taste is light, it reveals the original taste of the ingredients. It is indeed different from the heavy oil and salt dishes in the past.

The Crown Princess saw that there was no dislike in Brother Nine's brows, she smiled lightly, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Ninth Brother, I don't know, but my righteous sister is very thoughtful. She has heard that I am hot I couldn’t eat anything, so I collected a lot of recipes from Jiangnan for me..."

Brother Jiu didn't listen to what the princess said later.

"Second sister-in-law's righteous sister?" Brother Jiu cast a suspicious look at the prince and asked, "Since when did second sister-in-law have a righteous sister from Jiangnan?"

The prince chuckled, and said with some doting: "I don't know when it happened. I don't know what happened. The princess and the Lin family's little Gege became handkerchiefs and became Jinlan sisters." .”

The concubine gave the prince a coquettish look.

"Why don't you know what's going on? Sister Yu'er is smart and considerate. Although I have never met a real person, I have been friends with each other for a long time. Over the years, I have exchanged letters several times a year. My concubine is I really love my sister."

In fact, the concubine originally thought that Brother Jiu was a brother worth wooing, and the little Gege of the Lin family was a certain future Jiufujin.In order to help the prince hug Jiu elder brother, the princess deeply felt that the future Jiufu Jin should also hug him better.

Under the deliberate actions of the Crown Princess, coupled with Jia Min's connivance, Daiyu naturally developed a good impression of this Crown Princess whom she had never met before.After going back and forth, the two really developed a bit of sisterly affection for each other.

"Sister Yu'er is rare. Brother Ninth is not allowed to bully her in the future, otherwise sister-in-law will not spare you."

At the end, the princess concubine gave a careful reminder to Brother Jiu.
