starling is not a bird

It was a bright day, the cold air in early spring was cold and gloomy, the city gate had just opened, and the team of carriages that had been waiting for a long time began to squirm. The soldiers guarding the city looked at the signs of the carriages and let them pass one by one.

: "Hey, Butler Tong, why are you so early today?"

: "Xu Daqing, the wheel on your side is crooked, don't fix it, be careful that the road will not kill you!"

: "Big cousin, it's time for you to come out today, I have warm meat buns here, how about one?"

The carriages here are all going out of the city to fetch water from the Jade Dragon Spring. They are all high-ranking officials and nobles in the imperial city. After a long time, they all know each other. It is very lively when waiting for the city gate to open every morning.

Whenever the carriage at Babeile's mansion came late, the carriage at the mansion of Nine Elder Brothers and Ten Elder Brothers would be waiting for him. Who doesn't know how the masters are doing?The slave is also familiar, so be more respectful, what's wrong?

What's more, most of the slaves in several mansions are relatives, and they were even more happy to meet them: "Dahei, I knew it was your turn to come today! Why are you here so late?" Dahei in Baylor's house is a biological brother, of course his real name is not Dahei Erhei, but a nickname he is used to.

: "Hey, don't mention it, our master Baylor has been sleeping late these days, and the manager is afraid that we will disturb the master, so we won't let us come out first."

"Yo, that's not okay. Aren't you Fujin in confinement? If our master finds out, I'm afraid it's going to pass again." Erhei sighed, because he and Dahei are brothers, Jiu elder brother is very special. Look high, as long as you go to Babeile's mansion, you will bring yourself, it's really tiring.

: "Your master can't wait to come three times a day, and tell you, next time you fetch water for me, our water will be drunk by your master!" Dahei deliberately teased his younger brother.

"That's right, our lord rewards the servants of your family much more generously than us, brother, let's change!" Erhei whipped the horse's ass, it was already late, so hurry up, There will be a queue to pick up the water later.

As he was walking, he met the carriage on Sibeile's mansion. Both Dahei and Erhei saluted on the horse and greeted everyone. It was almost noon when they finished collecting the water and drove back.

At the intersection, the carriage was about to leave, Erhei suddenly remembered: "Which gate is brother guarding today?"

: "Today? Let me think about it, it seems to be guarding the front door, what's wrong?" Dahei asked.

: "Yesterday I heard people coming from Zhuangzi, Jiangnan also sent three festival gifts, and cart after cart was dragged here. Today, our master will definitely send someone to send them over. Whichever door you guard, I will let them Which door to go, how can it be cheaper for others?" Erhei laughed happily.

Dahei bumped his younger brother with his shoulder: "It's just you who think too much, but speaking of it, your master is really good to our Lord Baylor, and there are always things coming over every year and festival, and our family's own village can't get it." eat!"

Erhei said proudly: "That's right, there is no one more affectionate than our Ninth Highness. He picked everything and sent it here, even he himself took a step back. Where in the world can we find such a brother?" ?”

: "It's your blessing to follow such a master!" Dahei was very happy for his younger brother.

: "It depends on who you are dealing with. Our father is not good at his own mother, uncle and cousin. It is a matter of business. If there is any advantage, we will take advantage of it. It is just to be good to you, Baylor, or to talk about being sympathetic." !" Erhei has been with brother Jiu for a long time, how can he not know that his master is not a bad person?

Dahei let out a muffled laugh, Brother Nine's character of wanting money is no secret, in front of Yinzi, the owner who is not recognized by his relatives: "You, this mouth, you have to be careful, it's okay to be heard? "

Erhei rolled his eyes: "Aren't you my brother? I don't treat others like this! I have a guard!"

Dahei walked away with a smile, and his younger brother's voice came from behind: "Guard the front door!"

It didn't take long for Hong Hui from Sibeile's mansion to go. The high fever persisted for so many days, water and rice did not enter, and his small body suffered too much. Sifujin hugged his only flesh and blood, crying Personnel unconscious.And Sibeile is still busy in the household department, how can anyone in the house dare to stand up and take charge?Notify Four Baylor?Forget it, it is easy to report good news and difficult news, who is willing to stand up to the thunder?

When Sibeile came back, white flags had been hung all over the house. Sibeile felt heavy in his heart, got off the horse ignorantly, saw the mourning hall in a daze, sat down with the stool, and even exhaled pain.

They sent someone to send a letter to the palace, and they were even more disappointed. Now there are great-grandmother, grandfather, and father. Honghui's funeral can only be handled in a low-key manner. It will be bright.

There were relatives from the palaces who came to greet them, but this was a younger generation, and the ceremony was not over yet, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that they died young. The Empress Dowager personally said that no big things were allowed, and grandchildren were not allowed to visit, so as not to ruin the luck.

Babeile listened with a smile, and took the thirteenth brother and fourteenth brother quietly past in the middle of the night, Sibeile's eye sockets were bent in, and Babeile was also a person who had experienced it, and he couldn't bear it in his heart. Baylor said a lot of heartfelt words, but Si Baylor was not in good spirits, so he just listened lightly.

The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother have been particularly uncomfortable since they came in. The people in the house are sad and mournful. Even though they are eloquent, they still can't bring the dead back to life, so they simply shut up.

Seeing that it was not a problem, Babeile asked someone to invite Hong Yun and Hong Shi. Hong Yun was four years old, and it was the time when he was naughty and active. He was being held by the nanny to say hello and hello, is he cute?Hongshi also opened his eyebrows, and threw himself on the person.

Babeile looked at this cheap adopted son, and couldn't help laughing, remembering that this son would belong to him in the future, so he took it over and took pictures for a long time: "Fourth brother, my brother said something that shouldn't be said, but brother is still lucky , isn't it?"

Sibeile looked at the doll, then at the wobbly doll on the ground, and managed to pull himself together: "I know what you mean, it's just that it's different!"

Babeile was coaxing the doll. If Hongshi was good, he just rolled his eyes and looked around without crying at all. Babeile swayed around with her in his arms, not feeling tired at all: "Fourth brother, don't be greedy, who is blessed in the world?" Can you be older than Huang Ama? Huang Ama also only has one son, I understand why you feel uncomfortable, but if you look at the scene in front of you, my brother still wants to persuade: Take pity on the person in front of you!"

Si Bei Le looked at Ba Bei Le, this younger brother grew up really fast, before he knew it, he had already matured to the point of dazzling, then looked at the doll on the ground, stretched out his hand to pull Hong Yun, and straightened his clothes: " Have you had a good meal these days?"

Hong Yun grinned and said in a childish voice: "Back to Ama, my son has eaten well, and he ate more than half a bowl at noon!"

Sibeile touched the top of his son's head, fluffy: "Just eat obediently. When you grow up, can Ama take you to ride a horse?"

Hong Yun's eyes lit up, and he nodded abruptly: "Really? Ama, are you really taking me to ride a horse?"

Sibeile's smile deepened: "Ama has never lied to you?"

He raised his head and stared at the grandma again: "Grandma is taking good care of her. The house is busy these days, don't ignore the cold and heat!"

The nanny hurriedly knelt down and replied: "I don't dare, I have been taking care of the little elder brother with all my heart, I don't dare to deceive my heart!"

Si Bei Le took Hong Shi over and handed it to his wet nurse: "Take the third elder brother back, so that you can sleep well, you don't have to follow the night watch today!"

The nurses thanked Si Beile and stepped back, and Ba Beile also stood up: "Brother, it's a mess here, let's go first, and come to see brother and sister-in-law some other day!"

Si Bei Le braced himself to see off the guests, but the thirteenth elder brother hurriedly stopped him: "Fourth brother, sit down, we are younger brothers, why do we need to see them off?"

Sibeile was indeed in a bad mood, and sat back with a sigh: "It's rude, let's get together later!"

Niu Gulu who entered the mansion at this time was really embarrassed, Fujin lost his son, Li Shi gave birth to a child, Sibeile appeased Fujin, comforted Li Shi, and had no time to worry about the newcomers, in the small courtyard, Niu Gulu could only With the two second-class girls who the steward casually pointed out, they counted the days peacefully.

There are also newcomers in the palace of the Prince of Zhijun, with beautiful appearances. The women who were selected this time were all left to their sons by Concubine Hui. Although Dafujin is good, but he has no sons, what should be done in this desolation?Who doesn't have a brother?Sanbeile already has three sons!Trying to serve Kangxi Zao by himself, he just snatched the most beautiful one from Concubine Rong and gave it to King Zhijun.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Jia have nothing to say, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother are considered both sons and daughters, and the ninth elder brother is still young, Empress Yifei doesn't want him to stay here, although Empress Jia is also anxious, but how can she Will he compete with Concubine Hui?

Only the concubine de concubine felt uncomfortable. How many children had died in Sibei, it must be due to the lack of vitality in the room. She took a fancy to a few with big pelvis and round faces. Concubine Hui smiled and wanted to leave the rest, and sent them directly to King Zhijun, and Concubine De wrung her handkerchief angrily for a long time.

It didn't take long for the empress dowager to know that someone made fun of the king of Zhijun, and she could only have daughters if she married as many as she wanted. Things didn't slow down either.

Kangxi sighed, this kind of thing would not be very pleasant to be punished, but thinking about it makes him even more aggrieved. He has many sons under his knees, but he has few grandchildren. The king of Zhijun is the next son, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother are fine, but the middle-aged Babeile doesn't have a single son!

I have also rewarded a lot of women, why are there so few grandchildren?There are not even many granddaughters!The sleepy Kangxi wondered, how many beautiful women are there, otherwise the clan would not refer to marriage, and save it for the sons first?

Kangxi naturally didn't know the whereabouts of his sons. He was too good at raising his sons. All the sons he raised were talented and generous. There is little time to stay in Liuzhou.There are a lot of thoughts on how to fight for power, and low interest in thinking about nephrite and Wenxiang. How can there be a grandson in this way?

If you want to wake up and take over the power of the world, how can you lie drunk on the lap of a beauty?The princes are all human beings, and it is more important where to focus their energy. They are clear, so the wish of Kangxi and the concubine fell through!

He Zhuo's case is still being dealt with. Kangxi didn't want others to treat Babeile wrongly, so he personally asked his son, "Could you choose another one who is a bachelor's servant in the palace?"

Babeile asked unhurriedly: "Is Mr. He's case settled?"

Kangxi shook his head: "Still investigating!"

Babeile smiled: "Since we haven't found out, my son is still willing to wait for Mr. He. After all, it has been relatively long. This idea should be given to him to respect my son! When the case is cleared, there will be an explanation, won't it?"

Kangxi smiled, he just liked Babeile's benevolent idea, he was always willing to give people a chance, never blocked the road, he gave the gift of teachers and students, and also the face of the court, not bad.

I have to protect myself, so that no one can bully this son. Thinking of this, Kangxi suddenly asked: "I heard that you and the girl from Fucha's family haven't consummated yet?"

Babeile's eyes widened, didn't he talk about He Zhuo again?Why did you jump to your own family affairs all of a sudden?

: "Huang Ama!" Babeile's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Kangxi refused to give in at all: "The royal family has no selfish affairs, do you think I am willing to take care of them? Your brothers all have sons, what about yours?"

Babeile smiled wryly: "How can I remember this kind of thing? Besides, that girl is still young, in a few years!"

: "Have you told Ma Qi about this idea? Don't let people have other thoughts, this is a marriage, not an enemy!" Kangxi asked clearly.

: "Fu Jin mentioned it to Mrs. Ma Qi, they are very happy!" Babeile was unhappy: "Huang Ama, you underestimate your son!"

Kangxi took a sip, hating iron and steel: "If you have the ability, you can give birth to a grandson for me?"

Babeile pouted and said, "The woman should give birth! The son can't be born! Why don't you send someone to ask if you specially pick out women who can't give birth to your son?"

Kangxi was in a hurry, he raised his teacup and was about to throw it at it, Babeile quickly shrank his neck: "Huang Ama, don't scare your son!"

Kangxi threw the cup on the desk: "I've been messing with Lao Jiu too much! My mouth is full of nonsense, why don't you get out of here?"

How could Babeile be afraid of this: "My son is resigning, Huang Ama, take care of yourself and don't worry about it!"

Kangxi stared, and Babeile left with a smile. When Babeile was gone, Kangxi turned around and said to Liang Jiugong, "Tell me, can I not worry about it?"

Liang Jiugong smiled and persuaded: "This is Lord Babeile who wants to make you happy. Why did Lord Babeile do this when he is usually serious?"

Kangxi sighed: "Children are debts!"

Liang Jiugong didn't dare to persuade him, he smiled and didn't answer: "Tonight's green card has not been delivered yet, the servant is going to remind you?"

Kangxi waved his hands in dismay: "I have papers to approve tonight, so I won't go to the harem!"

"Liang Jiugong, do you think it's because the errands I gave are so heavy that they don't have a son?" Kangxi finally thought of a serious reason, and looked at Liang Jiugong expectantly.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly knelt down: "I don't know, why don't you send the imperial doctor to ask? Is there any hindrance?"

Kangxi shook his head: "Go and ask tomorrow, I'm not free today! There are so many things to do!"
