starling is not a bird

Elder Brother Shi did not go to Fujian with him, not because of his diarrhea, but because Emperor Kangxi felt that Fujian had not calmed down, so sending two capable sons to try things out, and bringing a half-grown son with him would be a hindrance, but Eighth Brother's request is still on his mind.

So, the tenth elder brother was packed and sent to the team of the eldest elder brother to go to Shanxi to care for the common people. Such a simple task should not be difficult, right?Kangxi felt that he was very worthy of the deceased Concubine Wen Xi, you see, how kind I am to our son!I will let him do whatever he likes!

The fourth elder brother has a new son-in-law, and he has been born in March. Now it is the time for fans, and the side Fujin Li in the room has just given birth to a little elder brother. The two dolls are placed together, with similar faces, and they are both blessed The doll is very friendly, even though the fourth elder brother has always been reserved, he can't help but secretly tease one or two when no one is paying attention.

It’s just that men and women are always different. When a woman becomes a mother, she is always willing to stay by her child’s side all the time, while as a father, she is more willing to think about how to work hard for her children. The fourth elder brother didn't have any regrets and embarrassments at all, but happily let Gege Song pack up his luggage, and left Beijing with his younger brother.

It seems that because the situation in Fujian is unclear, Kangxi generously agreed with the fourth elder brother to let him mobilize the Eight Banners battalions in various parts of Fujian at will, and appointed a lot of guards and soldiers to follow him. Haven't slept well for several nights.Although the harem is not allowed to engage in politics, but it is related to his own son, someone will always come to inform and buy it, and even Kangxi turns a blind eye to such things.

However, the two empresses are concubines who are deeply favored, so they naturally know what kind of set Kangxi takes, and asking politely is not feasible, so the two made an appointment with Empress Yifei and Empress Hui to go to Renshou Palace to give to the empress dowager. Please talk to Ann, come and go, the time when the two elder brothers packed their bags, the accompanying team grew stronger under the care of the empress dowager.

When a mighty group of people leave the capital, most of them are close-up attendants, and even those who carry the salute have a total of twenty cars. It's not like a prince running an errand. There is a traitorous concubine in each person's arms.

Neither the fourth elder brother nor the eighth elder brother is a person who indulges in pleasure, and the passion of the two of them is almost suffocated by the kindness of the elders.The eighth elder brother also knows that Kangxi likes simplicity and hates extravagance. Such a blatantly stupid thing against the emperor is definitely not the eighth elder brother's choice.

Before the eighth elder brother pinched the Huzhou Xilangmo to figure out how to write, the fourth elder brother had already made a generous speech on how to overcome Xiao Shenggong, self-denial and return to ritual, and without discussing with his younger brother, he wrote his The name is added at the end.

Although Emperor Kangxi was an emperor through the ages, he was still an ordinary father after all. After reading such a memorial, he was not only delighted by his son's sensibleness, but also proud of it.The proud emperor chose verbal praise, but the problem of the huge entourage did not improve.

The fourth elder brother was praised by his father, and the fourth elder brother also passed on the care of the concubine Defei, so he chose to ignore this problem automatically, while the eighth elder brother got a good name, and was even more lazy.

Only Brother Nine was depressed to the end, no matter whether it was the elder brother or the younger brother, they all got errands, so he could only sit in the palace behind closed doors and accompany the group of milk dolls to study.The tenth elder brother followed the eldest elder brother to Shanxi first, and the ninth elder brother clings to the eighth elder brother every day. The eighth elder brother knows that his younger brother is lonely. He grew up together and studied together. After a long time, everyone has to do their own thing after all.

Thinking of this, Eighth Brother couldn't help but feel a little soft in his heart, but he refused to show it on his face, instead he seemed alienated: "Old Ninth, have you finished your homework today? Huang Ama came in very aggressively, don't bump into him on the fire!"

Brother Nine clicked his lips impatiently: "Brother, you like to say some disappointing things, and you will leave the day after tomorrow. Don't I want to spend more time with you?"

The eighth elder brother put down the map in his hand, looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "I've only been there for a few months, and it seems like I'm going to go for ten or a half years after you tell me. What's the matter? Is it possible to tie my belt for the rest of my life?" superior?"

Brother Jiu lowered his head: "Isn't it the first time we've been separated for such a long time? I'm not used to it!"

The eighth elder brother resisted the idea of ​​touching his younger brother's head, one year old and two younger, his younger brother is also a man, he can no longer be like a child, he has to be treated as a man!

: "You have to get used to it, depending on Huang Ama's intentions, next year I will go out in a separate residence, Xiao Jiu, you still have to stay in this palace!"

Brother Nine said sullenly: "I have to go out to start a mansion too? Uncle Huang promised me that my house is next to yours! Starling, I don't want to be separated from you!"

The eighth elder brother also felt uncomfortable, so what if the rooms are next to each other?After all, the family has been separated. According to the folk saying, there are two families with the same surname, but thinking that I and my younger brother are siblings for a lifetime, if I care about these things, don't I look like a woman?

I can't say it hard and said: "Xiao Jiu will have Fujin in the future, and hold the little elder brother in his arms to watch the moon. How can he remember me as a starling at that time? Alright, stop talking childish words in the future! People will hear the joke !"

Then he asked Brother Jiu to talk about how to go all the way, first take the dry road, then change to the waterway, and what the scenery along the road is like.After sitting with him patiently for a while, he left, and the eighth elder brother didn't bother to keep him.

The fourth elder brother chose to leave early in the morning, and the ninth elder brother was being carried to study by the servants at that time. Naturally, he did not make it in time to see him off.

The wheels of the carriage crushed the dusty official road, and the two elder brothers refused to sit in the carriage, yes, it was bumpy, and at least one could see the scenery from the horseback, who would want to take the carriage?The guards and soldiers who followed didn't bother to stop them. The Manchus immediately won the world, so what's so surprising about the master riding a horse?

Fortunately, the weather was sunny all the way, just following the hearts of the two elder brothers. The sun in early summer is not too harsh, and the green mountains and green waters on both sides of the official road are also worth seeing. Smooth supernatural powers.If it weren't for the two elder brothers still insisting on their identities and embarrassing the servants, they would have left the long line long ago and rushed forward to compete.

The fourth elder brother looked eager to try, but the eighth elder brother was dignified and stable. Although he also envied those romantics who believe in horses, he thought that he was wearing the skin of a young man, but he was already an uncle inside. After all, he was stable on the saddle and behaved Moment, refused to show a little frivolity to let people discuss.

After walking for a few days, the two of them couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately became bumpy, their thighs were a little red and swollen, but they were too embarrassed to say that they were going to sit in the carriage, but the people following them were smart, Chang Xi saw that his master talked less, and went up and down The horses moved a little slowly, and I had expected why.Quietly led the accompanying imperial physician to the room where the two masters rested and waited. After the masters had given the medicine, they rushed out and yelled that the horse was sick and could not ride for a long time.

Waiting for Eighth Brother to lean on the soft cushion in the carriage to find a comfortable angle for his sore waist, then he lifted the curtain and slowly enjoyed the scenery on the way.

Ma Qiyun came out with his master this time, and he was an old man who followed Eighth Brother in the palace, so he naturally knew the master's temper, seeing Eighth Brother got into the carriage, he felt overwhelmed, and secretly hated Changxi for stealing credit.I also got off the horse, jumped on the shaft of the chariot to lean against, and asked softly: "Master, do you want some tea?"

The eighth brother thought for a while: "Alright, let's make some Songluo tea brought out from the palace and eat it!"

Ma Qiyun asked with a smile: "Isn't master always fond of tuancha? Before leaving, His Royal Highness Ninth Prince specially gave you a lot, why did you change the taste today?"

The eighth elder brother rubbed the center of his eyebrows: "The road is very dusty, if you want to drink something light, you can also send some to my fourth brother!"

Ma Qiyun complied and went out with the prince. Natural colors are complete. There is a special car behind the motorcade that is responsible for snacks and tea along the way. There are several small charcoal stoves in the car!

After scalding the teapot and cup with boiling water, he specially brought the good spring water he brought and sat on the fire. When the water boiled to make tea, the car door opened, and a head came in. Looking at Ma Qiyun, he said with a smile: "Yo, father-in-law is working hard!"

Ma Qiyun turned to look at him: "Your master also wants tea? Don't worry, His Highness Eight ordered it to be prepared here!"

When Chang Xi laughed, her nose wrinkled cutely: "That's a coincidence, thank you very much!"

Ma Qiyun ignored him, just focused on the brass kettle.Chang Xi came in lightly, and sat down next to Ma Qiyun: "Brother Ma, you are lucky to be with His Highness the Eighth Prince, he is the most kind person!"

Ma Qiyun looked at Chang Xi and smiled, and refused to answer: "As slaves, it is right for us to serve our master with heart, so we have no place to speak!"

Chang Xi was not discouraged: "Brother Ma, you have met my younger brother, and you are still talking about the master's goodness until now. It's not that the child is ignorant. He still wants to follow the master again, but I don't know if he has this blessing?"

Ma Qiyun picked up the brass kettle and carefully filled the teapot with boiling water. A wisp of fragrance oozes out. Chang Xi hurriedly brought over a tray and helped to place it. After brewing two cups, the two each held a The tray trots off.

The eighth elder brother here was feeling a little thirsty, and took the tea that was just right for him to drink, and immediately drank more than half of it. Ma Qiyun knelt in the carriage, took the cup with a low eyebrow, and filled it with water.Someone announced from outside: "Master, His Highness Fourth is here!"

The eighth elder brother hurriedly got up, and someone outside had opened the curtain of the car, and the servant on the shaft quickly jumped down, and helped the eighth elder brother down at the door. Before the eighth elder brother could take a few steps, the fourth elder brother rushed forward to stop him : "Okay, what are you doing? Come in!"

After the two sat down, the fourth elder brother explained the purpose of coming, but it was boring to sit alone. It happened that the eighth elder brother brought tea and wanted to ask the brothers to drink together. Opening a table of refreshments, although the eighth elder brother felt sorry for the interruption of his rare peace, he still managed to cope with it with all his energy.

What the eighth elder brother didn't know was that just the night before they left Beijing, the fourth elder brother was summoned by Kangxi alone. In addition to discussing the specific disposal plan in Fujian, there were other tasks for the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother looked at his younger brother with stretched eyebrows, and he could forget all the troubles in his heart. Thinking of Huang Ama's careful instructions when he came, he felt even more warm, and he just wanted to show his younger brother all his skills. Take them out to show off.

The eighth elder brother has always been unwilling to spoil other people's interest, let alone the fourth elder brother, he has to act like a submissive brother. Along the way, the two of them deliberately catered to each other, and they talked very well. , So the tea tasting between the two changed from an extremely elegant behavior to a thirst-quenching like a cow's drink.

From the capital to the south, the nearest is Jinan, but it takes half a month to travel from the capital to Jinan. What's more, the team is extremely slow. head.

Fortunately, neither the fourth elder brother nor the eighth elder brother is particularly particular about food, clothing and daily life. The servants instruct the guards to set up tents. He refused in fear, and after many times, he simply turned his hands behind his back as the shopkeeper.

When the bonfire was lit, the night had already begun to fall as usual, but eight princes rarely had some inexplicable worries in their hearts.
