starling is not a bird

Because of the New Year's Eve, the elder brothers who came out to open the mansion all changed their ways to buy gifts to please Kangxi and the empress dowager. The eighth elder brother didn't worry too much. On the side of the concubine and empress, I can't pass the elder brother, and on the side of the concubine, I have to lose one or two points to meet my status.

On the contrary, he asked his own Fujin to go to the harem with Xinde's daughter to invite An Duo several times, even the eighth elder brother handed a sign to the palace from time to time to visit his younger brothers.

Ninth elder brother knows his elder brother's thoughts best, and often asks his mother to go to elder brother's place to bring eighteenth elder brother over to show eighth elder brother. Hand, couldn't help but sighed, as expected, he was only worried about life and support, the little elder brother was white and fat, and compared with the eighth elder brother, his face was more like Kangxi.

The eighth elder brother held up the purse and dangled it in front of the little elder brother, causing him to keep reaching for the purse, but he refused to give it to him. The little elder brother had a good temper and didn't cry at all. Mammy was so distressed that she wanted to take it and hug it, so the eighth elder brother put the purse in the little elder brother's hands.The little elder brother grabbed the tassels on the purse and shook it back and forth.

Mammy hugged the little elder brother and stood down the porch. The eighth elder brother took the hand of the tenth elder brother and rubbed it, then said: "Old ten, it is a good thing that you like to practice martial arts, but don't overdo it. Like a rough man working in the field, but he has fallen into the status, look at this hand, it is so rough that it can be used as a knife!"

Elder Brother Ten smiled honestly: "Myna, did you drive that Tong Lin away?"

Before the eighth elder brother could speak, the ninth elder brother laughed: "You are still thinking about him, that kind of audacious person who takes his own life as a no-brainer, is afraid that he will cause a catastrophe before Kenny calms down! It's better to get out, so as not to embarrass others in the future!"

Elder Brother Ten had a look of regret on his face: "It's hard for him to punch well, I haven't learned all of them yet!"

Eighth Prince's eyes shifted to another place to pay attention. There was a familiar person among the patrolling guards in groups of two. It was Ertai from Xilinjueluo clan, Zuoling from Xianglanqi.

This man is also talented. He was a scholar at the age of 16 and a Jinshi at the age of 21. He has all abilities and talents, but Huang Ama has too many capable ministers, even though he is a rare man among Manchus. A person who relies on nepotism, but it is not his turn to be used by Huang Ama.Later, the fourth brother demoted a lot of noble honors before he vacated the position. This talent came out, but it's a pity that he is too old and it won't take long.

But think about it again, if it weren't for the long-term failure in the official career and not being reused, this person would not have so much time to practice himself. People have to be trained to be useful!

Not long after, the two guards patrolled over, and when they saw the elder brothers, they greeted Qianer, the eighth elder brother was the head of the elder brothers, nodded with a smile, exchanged a few words, and said to Ertai After a few words of encouragement, they were allowed to make their own inspections.

Elder Fourteen stuck to him: "Brother Ba, it's so rare for you to enter the palace, let's take younger brother out to play!" Elder Eight hugged Elder Fourteen into his arms: "Okay, let's go out now !"

The eyes of the ninth elder brother and tenth elder brother next to him also lit up, and the eighth elder brother smiled and said, "Let's go together!" The fifteenth elder brother also jumped up and followed.

Out of the corner of the eighth elder brother's eyes, seeing the thirteenth elder brother silently lowering his head and studying the copybook, he felt a little puzzled and shouted: "Old Thirteen, don't study calligraphy with your head bored. Let's go out with the eighth elder brother."

Elder Brother Thirteen raised his head and smiled: "Thank you myna, I still can't do it, my brother still has some homework to do, brothers, let's go!"

The eighth elder brother knew something was wrong, and didn't want to force him, so he said with a smile: "It's fine, you can write hard, if there are delicious and interesting ones, I'll let them bring them in for you!"

The thirteenth elder brother nodded gratefully, then lowered his head and held the bamboo tube tightly to write slowly, and only raised his head to look at the eighth elder brother when their footsteps were far away.

These days, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother ignore me. Although the fourteenth elder brother is good, he is still better with his elder brothers. I haven’t come to study for some days, and when I come back to school, I will be a loner. The thirteenth elder brother Standing in front of his mother's hospital bed, he felt extremely miserable, seeing that his mother was going to die, but Huang Ama seldom even came to see her.Holding his mother's skinny fingers, Brother Thirteen didn't even dare to cry.

My mother is seriously ill, and even her own palace has more sarcastic remarks, and seeing the eighth elder brother who is as gentle as ever, the thirteenth elder brother wants to get closer, but look at the cold eyes of the ninth elder brother behind the eighth elder brother, Brother Thirteen knew that he would not be the popular one, so forget it!

I'm getting older, and my mother has passed away. Huang Ama will definitely not let other mothers and concubines adopt her. In the future, I can only live in this palace relying on Huang Ama's attention.The thirteenth elder brother's heart became even hotter.

After reporting back to Kangxi, I got the order to take my younger brothers out, and I didn’t dare to take them to places that were too lively, but I took a stroll on the South Street and bought all kinds of mixed dishes from time-honored shops for them to eat, all of which were sweet That's good.

The fourteenth elder brother yelled that he was hungry, and the ninth elder brother knocked him on the head: "I know you, if you don't want to go back to eat warm food, just say so! Ninth elder brother treats you to dinner!"

The fourteenth elder brother stuck out his tongue and snuggled into the eighth elder brother's arms embarrassingly. The eighth elder brother hugged him and wrapped him in a cloak: "Slowly blush, we will order after you come out!"

Several elder brothers ordered a large table of dishes in random order, and the fourteenth elder brother was clamoring for a drink, so he stopped the eighth elder brother: "You are so young, what kind of wine do you want to drink? Soup!"

The store reserved the entire second floor and asked people to set up several braziers. It was hot in the warm pavilion. The elder brothers all put on wider coats, and put the guards who followed them outside to eat and drink freely, leaving a few servants to wait on them. .

The fourteenth elder brother rarely came out to eat, and he didn't want anyone to let him. He swept the area with his chopsticks. The eighth elder brother didn't stop him when he saw that he was eating happily. Brother let him move a little bit.The eighth elder brother picked up the chopsticks and ate the shredded mushrooms at random. Look at the clothes on the tenth elder brother. Well, they are all new. Touch them, they are quite thick, and you don’t suffer!

"Myna, it's so itchy, don't touch it!" Elder Ten twisted his body to escape, and Elder Eight caught him: "Why are you hiding! You're not a little girl, afraid of people getting close? I heard what my elder brother said, Huang Ama will let you two get married at the beginning of the new year, is it possible that you will not let her touch you after you marry your wife?"

Elder Brother Shi held back his smile and said, "That's what my wife is worried about too, you don't have to worry about it, Mynah!"

The eighth elder brother smiled and twisted his ear: "You have not married yet, and you have started to protect him? Don't worry about me? Think I don't care about you! You little heartless!"

Elder Brother Ten lightly went to break off Elder Eight's fingers, and then let go of his fingers, "Mynah, why are your hands so cold?"

Brother Jiu stepped in and said, "I'm not mad at you, I'm getting cold, my hands must be cold!"

The tenth elder brother held the eighth elder brother's hand and said with a smile, "Didn't you just joke? Could it be that you are as fussy as a mynah?"

The fourteenth elder brother raised his head from the pile of bowls and said, "I care about it too, let alone starlings?"

Everyone laughed, and Brother Fifteen also yelled childishly: "I care too, I care too."

Halfway through the meal, the two little elder brothers were full. The eighth elder brother was afraid that they would accumulate food and promised to bring them out in the future, so he asked the guards to carry them outside to play, and they were not allowed to eat any more.

Slowly drinking the soup, the eighth elder brother asked leisurely: "What's the matter with you and the old thirteen?"

Brother Nine was already holding fire in his heart, how could he not be asked?Crackling the bamboo tube like pouring beans, he said all the things that were out of the fortress. Elder Brother Shi was angry in his heart, and interrupted a few words from time to time.

The eighth elder brother just smiled, but there was another thought in his mind: "Okay, what do you care about with a child, what does he know? It's just a show off, can it be possible to surpass you? Our Xiaojiu is so capable, do Just take care of your own business, don't use these crooked brains!"

Ninth elder brother naturally loves to hear this, eighth elder brother can persuade a few more words, outside the [-]th elder brother and fifteenth elder brother are making a loud noise, here the three elder brothers sit quietly with.

: "Old Ten, I don't know what Huang Ama is thinking, but I pointed you to a Mongolian Fujin whose surname is Abagai Borzigit, who is the daughter of King Urjinga Lapu County. What do you think? Where? Can she speak Chinese?" Brother Jiu was worried about his younger brother when he thought of his upcoming wedding.

Elder Brother Ten said disapprovingly: "Brother Ninth is really worried. Her family sent her to her elder sister's house to study with Madam Xi. Besides, if she can't do it, how about I marry a few capable ones?"

Brother Ba smiled: "That's to say, let her come out and walk around more in the future. It will be better as the days grow longer. But Lao Jiu, your old father-in-law offended Huang Ama, and now he is naked and married She's really worthless."

Brother Nine looked full of hatred for iron and steel: "Then who can blame him! He doesn't live up to his expectations! The master wanted to pull him out, but the errands made him suck, what can he do?"

Brother Ba bowed his head and thought about it: "Don't panic, there will definitely be a chance in the new year, you should mention more, after all, Yue's family is also relatives, they have no face and you don't look good either!"

Brother Jiu scratched his head: "When I think about it, I feel annoyed. Why did Huang Ama choose this marriage for me! I can't count on it at all!"

The eighth elder brother smiled: "Huang Ama naturally has his own ideas!"

: "By the way, Lao Jiu, if you have something new, remember to save a copy, I want to give it away!" Brother Ba suddenly remembered something.

Brother Jiu responded: "Got it, brother is going to do a festival, right? I told the shopkeeper that there are good things on the list, brother chooses by himself!"

Brother Eight smiled: "It's not all about this, Lao Jiu, don't be too conspicuous about your etiquette, first ask what the crown prince gave, after all, we are younger brothers, how can we pass elder brother over? Instead let Huang Ama Feel uncomfortable!"

Ninth elder brother curled his lips: "Second elder brother gives Huang Ama the things from Huang Aman's inner library every year, but he uses Huang Ama's skin and flesh to stick to Huang Ama himself, such an adult, he is really embarrassed !"

The eighth brother and the tenth brother both laughed: "You are really smart, we can't catch up with you!"

Sunu was recuperating at home for a month. The emperor ordered him to take care of him, but there was no news from the crown prince. How long will it take for my grace to come down?

But after waiting and waiting, he couldn't wait, so he couldn't help but scolded the elder brother for his lack of loyalty in his heart!But I don't know that the elder brother is also suffering, even if the crown prince did something wrong, but the emperor still wants to save him from being hurt, so the favor that the elder brother fought for Sunu was withheld by the emperor like this!

The eighth elder brother always thought of Sunu's goodness. Although it was inconvenient to visit by himself, he quietly sent some medicinal materials and supplements. Although Sunu was surprised, he was also very moved!
