The Zhen Family Brothers in the Red Chamber

Zhen Zhu went back with Brother Xiao Si. On the way back, Xiao Duozi wanted to help Brother Xiao Si get dressed several times, but Brother Xiao Si let him through. When they got to the house, Brother Xiao Si took his own pillow He got into Zhen Zhu's bed directly, and then drove Xiao Duozi away like a mosquito.

Zhen Zhu finished washing her hair and was wiping her hair, when she saw little Si elder brother playing with the candle on the side, flicking the flame on the oil lamp with her fingers, Zhen Zhu moved closer and threw the cloth towel for wiping her hair onto the washstand beside her: " Brother Si, aren't your hands hot?"

Brother Xiao Si looked up at Zhen Zhu in a daze, and let out an ah, his hand was scalded by the rising flames as soon as he stopped, he hurriedly withdrew his hand in pain, Zhen Zhu immediately stepped forward to pull Xiao Si Brother's fingers looked at it.

"Fortunately, it's not hurt. Look, what's wrong with playing with candles?"

"It's okay, it's okay..." Brother Xiaosi was obviously not in a good mood, he obviously couldn't accept certain things, Zhen Zhu was waiting for him to speak, and sure enough he hadn't brushed his hair a few times before he heard Brother Xiaosi speak.

"If someone close to you does something bad, will you forgive her?" Brother Xiaosi was very entangled.

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Zhu knew that the mastermind behind the incident just now must be someone close to the fourth elder brother, and the only person around him who could be said to be close enough to help the fourth elder brother involve human life was his biological mother.

Zhen Zhu searched for the memory of that person in her own head, and found that apart from the blurred appearance of the other person, there was only one point of caution left, and it was completely invisible to someone who could perfectly put out such a situation.This is what people can't tell by their appearance. He knows that Brother Xiaosi is very entangled, and it is estimated that Xiao Duozi is also involved, so he may know a little about some of these things, but he doesn't know much.

"Does the fourth elder brother know the cause and effect of this incident?" Zhen Zhu thought for a while, but instead of answering the other party's question, she asked.

Brother Xiaosi nodded: "I heard that when Brother San went back to the yard, he found a maid to vent his anger. It was because of Brother Ben's fault. It would be great if he didn't engage in such conflicts with Brother Three." He was depressed He lowered his head, sat cross-legged on the quilt, and then picked his fingernails one after another.

Zhen Zhu's eyes looked to the left and then turned to meet the eyes of the little fourth elder brother: "Does the third elder brother often vent his anger on the maids?"

Brother Xiao Si frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "Brother San has a bad temper, but usually he just kicks a few times."

"Does the fourth elder brother know when the third elder brother started to have this habit?" Zhen Zhu sat on the edge of the bed, getting closer.

Brother Xiaosi shook his head: "Then I don't know."

Zhen Zhu raised her head and glanced at the roof, thought for a while, then looked at the little fourth elder brother and said, "Since the fourth elder brother doesn't know when the third elder brother started doing these things, then naturally he can't stop it on weekdays, and I don't know what is it It's not that there are other people who are contributing to the flames, but as long as the third elder brother has some kindness, this kind of thing will not happen, and the person who is being calculated must have this weakness. Treating people with kindness and righteousness according to the request of the Taifu, how could someone die innocently today."

After Zhen Zhu said a word, Brother Xiaosi was obviously relieved. He stood up sexually, stretched out his hand to spread the thin quilt, and slipped in quickly: "Okay, okay, go to bed early, tomorrow I got up early and have to copy books." He closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

Zhen Zhu watched the child lie down obediently, so she also moved the quilt and threw herself on the step, and slept together with the high one and the low one.

Brother Xiaosi heard the movement, reached out to touch it, and found that the side of his bed was empty. He looked up and saw that Zhen Zhu was about to blow out the candle. : "Why don't you sleep next to me."

Zhen Zhu kept the hand behind the candle, looking back a little strangely: "When two people sleep together, it's easy to be woken up, anyway, the bedding underneath is also new, usually Zhang Qing is asleep, I see him too Nothing out of the ordinary."

Song Zhaoyong, who was serving the night watch, was driven back to his room by Zhen Zhu, and now only Zhen Zhu and the fourth brother were left in the room. The fourth brother pouted and felt that he had been let down, so he pulled up the quilt to cover his head, Zhen Zhu turned around and blew out the candles and went to bed. There was only a ray of light coming in from the window in the room, and the sound outside became less and less. Slowly, Zhen Zhu's breathing became even. He thought that Brother Si had already fallen asleep. While sleeping, the person on the bed suddenly spoke.

"I also know that it's not easy for her." This time, the little fourth elder brother didn't even use his honorific title, and then his voice was like a cool summer breeze, with only a faint trace, "But, I always feel that human life is involved, and it shouldn't be so easy."

In the final analysis, the little fourth elder brother is soft-hearted. It is rare for a child to be soft-hearted, especially the descendants of the royal family. Died in public, the third elder brother will definitely not be punished, and no one will even say that he is wrong, but because of Cui Liu, and because he is in front of everyone, it is as if a face has been lifted and exposed. Lizi, that's why there are such serious consequences.

"Fourth elder brother..." Zhen Zhu called out.

"You can call me Xiao Si, anyway, I will call you Xiao Zhu in the future." The fourth brother interrupted Zhen Zhu, and then muttered a few words Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, "Your family gave you such a name , I really don't care."

"As precious as jade, as precious as pearls, Si elder brother, ah, what does little Si elder brother think is wrong?" Zhen Zhu replied with a smile, put his hand on her chest, pressed the quilt, and turned over body, turned to the inside.

"If you want to say that, it's fine. Zhenzhu and Pearl are the same." Brother Xiaosi laughed, "I'll call you Zhuer in the future."

"No, it's like calling a girl, I want to return Pearl." Zhen Zhu rolled her eyes.

"But my father called you that too." Brother Xiaosi also turned over, and then leaned on the edge of the bed to look at Zhen Zhu from top to bottom.

Zhen Zhu lay down a little bit, then looked into the eyes of the fourth elder brother and said: "I, a commoner, can still have an opinion with the prince." He had those evil intentions, so the plan in his heart was a little different. Zhu Er Zhu Er seemed to be quite good, but it was a bit strange to let Xiaosi call her. After all, it was who Zhen Zhu liked. , I feel that anyone can do whatever they want, and if Zhen Zhu doesn't admire anyone, the other party will lose that layer of halo, and his sanity will return.

"You are not a commoner. Your father was concurrently in charge of weaving in Jiangning and Suzhou, but he was the emperor's confidant minister. Who would dare to mess with you?" Brother Xiaosi regained his energy, and his head was pressed on his right hand On, left hand tosses his hair back.

Zhen Zhu rolled her eyes, he was good-looking, even if she rolled her eyes, she was still very pretty, but it was the first time Xiao Si elder brother saw Zhen Zhu being so rude, so he giggled.

"Didn't you see how your second elder brother made things difficult for me, not to mention in the palace, even when he was studying in the study room in the palace, didn't he always make things difficult for me." Zhen Zhu talked about the second brother with a plan Brother, the little fourth brother really has a child's heart, and he didn't even think about the matter of the third elder brother before, but just said very loyally to Zhen Zhu: "It's okay, I will help you in the future! Let's be brothers with different surnames!"

As soon as he said it, Zhen Zhu seemed to refuse, if he swore to Brother Xiaosi, what would happen to him in the future...

He laughed at himself secretly, even if he didn't, what could he do? On the contrary, if he recognized his god-in-law, he would be able to get closer to him, so Zhen Zhu won silently, and the little fourth elder brother instantly felt refreshed, and he lay comfortably On the bed for a while, Zhen Zhu thought that the other party would definitely fall asleep this time, but he was pulled up before his eyes were closed.

Zhen Zhu was forced to get up, and saw the little brother put on his coat, and then pulled Zhen Zhu to get up: "I know there is incense in the house, let's pray to the moon by ourselves, and wait until tomorrow morning if someone else I know, I don’t know what will happen again, let’s secretly."

Brother Xiao Si, who obviously had a penchant for worshiping, excitedly dragged Zhen Zhu to climb out of the window, and then sneaked into the back garden. Brother Xiao Si couldn't find any regular incense candles, so he took the six sandalwood sticks in the house, Click on it and bow down to the moon with Zhen Zhu.

"The Empress Dowager is above..."

"The Empress Dowager is here..." Zhen Zhu had no choice but to follow Xiao Si elder brother, kowtowed three times to the open space, and then sneaked back to the house, this time she was really able to fall asleep.

Zhen Zhu and the fourth elder brother were locked up in the house for three days just to copy the filial piety scriptures 120 times. When the two of them saw the sun again and took the copied papers to King Yong's study, the small courtyard was already full of people. There are all kinds of strange rumors.

"What does it mean to die without resting your eyes, return in the middle of the night..." Brother Xiao Si exchanged a look with Zhen Zhu speechlessly. After the two of them worshiped, the incense was naturally inserted on the ground, and it turned out that there was only such a little spark for the servant who came out of the night to watch When he arrived, the boy was startled, and said that he saw a man in white clothes walking in the yard.

Zhen Zhu thought for a while, is the underwear on her body white? Because of summer, she chose a silk close-fitting underwear. It is indeed white, but can't tell whether it is a man or a woman? Zhen Zhu is completely speechless. But this time the two of them couldn't tell the truth to correct them, so they could only continue to move forward to the study silently.

Before the study room arrived, when passing by Concubine Li's yard, I heard one or two maids being dragged out inside, as if they were all scolded by sticks, brother Si's clenched fist, Xiao Duo behind him Zi hurriedly stood beside the master, blocking his sight, brother Xiao Si reached out and patted Xiao Duozi on the shoulder, and then pushed away with a serious face.

"It's okay." Brother Xiaosi put away the smile on his face, and followed Zhen Zhu silently.

After walking to the door, Zhen Zhu gave the things to the fourth brother, and she was about to retreat, but Cui Liu at the door stopped her: "Master Zhu, please come in, the prince is waiting for the fourth brother and Master Zhu." She spoke There was a little smile on her face, Zhen Zhu thought about it a bit strangely, this is not the attitude that a person who has a dead sister should have, but Cui Liu is a member of King Yong, and the other party has a good impression of her , in line with the principle that one thing more is worse than one thing less, he raised his foot and followed the fourth elder brother in.

The princes who came out with the Holy One all have their own courtyards. Compared with the capital, there are more Jiangnan characteristics. There are also more specialties in Rehe, and there are all kinds of melons and fruits, so there is a big one on the table. All kinds of fruits in the basin, King Yong was washing his hands, without raising his head, Brother Xiaosi stepped forward and handed over the things in his hand.

"My son has already copied everything that needs to be copied, please check the father."

King Yong turned his head and glanced at the fourth elder brother, then picked up a towel and wiped his face. There were not many people around King Yong, especially in the back room. Most of them came by himself, that is, they needed to come When wearing court clothes, people will be ordered to come in and wear them.

King Yong walked up to the fourth elder brother, and ordered him to put the stack of papers on the table without looking at it, and waited for the younger fourth elder brother to put the things down, then helped Zhen Zhu who was kneeling on the ground, and patted Zhen Zhu He patted his knees: "If you kneel again in the future, you might as well stop standing. This king will order someone to build you a chair, so you don't have to worry about it."

What King Yong said was so cruel, it scared Zhen Zhu's little heart to jump, but in the end it aroused the envious eyes of Xiaosi elder brother, Zhen Zhu didn't know what to say, how can there be such a father and son, so cruel His father can still get the respect of his own son, life is really bad!

Brother Xiao Si moved his steps, then looked at King Yong and said, "My son feels that he has some fate with Zhen Zhu, and he made his own way to worship Zhen Zhu a few days ago. Please don't blame the king." Since the two of them Brothers with different surnames, especially Zhen Zhu, Brother Xiaosi felt that they should get official certification.

King Yong took a slow look at Elder Brother Xiaosi, and felt that his son was actually a bit blessed, otherwise, everything he did would be in line with his father's appetite, and he remembered his father's praise of his son in the past King Yong, who had never been prepared to play the family card, raised his eyebrows unconsciously, and decided to follow this shortcut, maybe it would be smoother.

Brother Xiao Si felt uneasy. He felt his knees were a little soft, but he didn't dare to kneel, so he kept his head down. Zhen Zhu thought about it. If King Yong didn't agree, he would take the responsibility himself. Anyway, he said yes Just instigate the fourth elder brother to do it yourself. As for the result, what can you do!

Zhen Zhu gave up on herself and thought for a while, then raised her eyes to look at King Yong, who smiled, "Since he is a brother with a different surname, he will be ranked in the ranking in our mansion. Tell people to go down, and let Xiao Wu change to Xiao Wu in the future." Six, Xiao Wu will be used by Zhu Er."

Zhen Zhu was a few months younger than the fourth elder brother, and the two of them were so pleasantly surprised. King Yong thought about it and clenched his right hand and knocked on his left hand: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. I will report to the Holy One together with this king. If The Holy Majesty agreed, and we can engrave jade butterflies together, so as to save our little five from being bullied by those who don't have good eyesight in the future."

King Yong called Xiao Wu, and Zhen Zhu swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and then he looked into the other person's eyes, feeling that the prince probably knew about his secret kiss before!
