Blessed by God - Chapter 49
The dust has settled on the titles of the elder brothers. The older ones are very satisfied, and the younger ones have no objections. After all, titles depend on age, seniority, and meritorious service. Well, the performance on the battlefield is also very heroic. Although the third prince’s performance on the battlefield is average, he is excellent in poetry, calligraphy and painting. In addition, his mother Concubine Rong has been favored by the emperor for many years, and a county prince can be considered passable. The other younger ones, Seventh Brother, although they have made great achievements, are still under the age, so they can only be Baylor.
The elder brother’s Biezhuang is far away from Yinyou, and the four elder brothers and eighth elder brothers are closer to him. The three are basically neighbors in the neighborhood. Yinyou went out from the main entrance and invited the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother together. How about elder brother and eighth elder brother, you still have to put in enough effort on the surface, anyway, they are sitting in sedan chairs, you can’t see me, I can’t see you, and you can’t cope.
When we arrived at the elder brother’s Biezhuang, Yinyou got out of the sedan chair. Someone had already handed over the name card, and the housekeeper in the village was already waiting at the door in person.
“Slave greets fourth master, seventh master, and eighth master. Master has been looking forward to you for a long time,” the housekeeper bowed to welcome the three of them into the mansion. After walking for a long time, he saw a stage set up in the garden, on which babbling and singing were performed. , Big Elder Brother stood in front of the arch and waited for them in a brocade robe.
The brothers greeted each other, and not long after they sat down, the brothers came one after another. They talked and laughed together with wine and snacks, which was considered pleasant.
Yinyou knew that this elder brother didn’t like him very much. Liang Zi had already taken over a few years ago. He sat on the side obediently, listening to the opera singing on the stage. After listening to it for a long time, he finally figured out this Which play is it? It is “Taoyuan Jieyi”. Yinyou has always been admiring opera, a national quintessence treasure, but he really doesn’t have the ability to appreciate it. At most, he just looks at the figure of the actor and listens to his voice. He doesn’t understand whether it is good or not.
“These opera performers on Big Brother Zhuangzi are pretty good. I heard that they are little girls that my sister-in-law found a few days ago.” The third elder brother smiled and took a sip of clear tea: “Sister-in-law is very virtuous.”
“Third brother was just joking, didn’t you hear that Ge Ge in your house added a little elder brother to you two days ago,” the eldest elder brother smiled a little, obviously very satisfied with his wife raising these playthings for him: ” These actors are all used to listen to the music, if there is something good, if you like it, send a few to your farm to raise.”
The third elder brother heard the words, his smile faltered slightly, and then he laughed again, “If the eldest brother is willing, the younger brother will definitely not be willing to refuse.”
Yinyou heard the two brothers’ tone as if they were discussing a few Chinese cabbages, and couldn’t help thinking that they should really try to travel to the modern age. It’s okay if they have money and power. Compatriots think they waste air, obstruct sight, and waste food. But here, actors are no different from playthings in the eyes of ordinary people, let alone these princes who have no shortage of women.
“I heard that the seventh brother accepted a princess a few days ago, but he is very lucky,” the elder brother said, but there was a hint of irony in his secret. All the brothers present knew that the seventh elder brother’s wife Jin’s mother’s family was very powerful and married. There has been no movement in the past year, and up to now there is only one more Ge Ge, who is still a coat. Except for the eighth brother, there are not many other brothers who are side Fujin and Shu Fujin.
“It’s just a girl who hasn’t grown up, why is there such a good fortune?” Yinyou pretended not to hear the irony in the words, and blew the tea stem on his face with a teacup: “A few days ago, I spent a lot of time with Huang Ama.” Playing chess, Huang Ama even made fun of me as a foodie for my lack of skills, the only thing worth mentioning is that I don’t indulge in beauty.”
When the elder brother heard it, there was a trace of an unattractive smile on his face. Yinyou obviously depreciated himself, but he bet back the sarcasm in his words, so he smiled uninterestedly: “Huang Ama Exactly what he said.”
These words imply that Yinyou has no other skills, and Yinyou accepts it with a smile. This look of not being able to pour water into it and frying it makes the elder brother feel bored for a while, and feels that he and the old seven are completely boring.
The eighth elder brother only had one Fujin in his family, and he didn’t even have a concubine. The elder brother’s words obviously touched his spine, but he laughed at Yan Yan from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Recently, the emperor is going to let the clan and the Eight Banners to participate in the provincial examination. Some dandies who carry cages and birds feel uneasy, and even want to go out. The elder brother has received a lot of “gifts” in recent days. Crazy, now that I have calmed down, I feel that what I said to Yinyou just now is inappropriate, but seeing that Yinyou doesn’t seem to care, I suppress my calm thoughts, the left and right are not very important younger brothers, so I don’t have to make him bend over to show weakness reason.
The fourth elder brother was lukewarm from the beginning to the end. The brothers also knew his temperament, and there was no one who didn’t have the eyes to provoke him. After this, the eldest brother and the third elder brother sang a home game.
Yinyou looked at the performance of the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother, and sneered in his heart. No wonder he couldn’t compare to Yin Zhen. He was proud of being a county king, and he didn’t think about Kangxi’s suspicious temper, and the prince who was now becoming more and more ambitious , the more proud you are, the more the crown prince will see you as a thorn in his side. Fortunately, you are still a brother, can’t you learn from the fourth brother?
Turning his head to look at Yinzhen who was drinking tea quietly, Yinyou nodded secretly, as expected of the future Emperor Yongzheng, he knew the virtue of keeping a low profile. Apart from that shiny forehead, Yinzhen’s appearance is considered pretty good among his brothers. Although his temperament is cold, his appearance has a hint of elegance. The combination of the two makes him stand out even more. But when it comes to the most beautiful face, the first thing Yinyou thinks of is Shisan’s lovely face. Some people in later generations said that Brother Jiu looked like a woman. In fact, Brother Jiu was only mediocre in appearance among brothers, and Kangxi did not love him very much. On the contrary, Thirteen’s face looks like the boy in the painting, Kangxi likes it very much.
“What is Seventh Brother thinking?” Seeing that Yinyou was holding a teacup in a daze, looking stupid, Eighth Brother couldn’t help laughing and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“That’s not true,” Yinyou shook his head, put down his teacup, and sighed, “Thirteen has a lot of homework recently and has no chance to go out of the palace, so he thought about asking me to bring him some food outside the palace for him to taste. When I got busy, I forgot.”
The eighth elder brother also laughed when he heard the words. Several brothers knew the relationship between Yinyou and the thirteenth elder brother. Thirteen started pestering the seventh elder brother to draw him some puppies and pigs since he was very young. Woo close.
Yinzhen on the side heard Yinyou’s words, and said, “No wonder I met Thirteenth Brother the day before yesterday, and he asked you, so he was looking forward to your food.” After speaking, he shook his head, “Tomorrow I will call Someone will help you send some in, lest you look forward to it.”
Hearing this, Eighth Brother bowed his eyes and took a sip of tea. Brothers are very careful about sending food, let alone sending them on behalf of others. If something happens in the middle, no one can tell. A person who is so cautious as the fourth child actually said such words. The relationship between the three brothers is really close.
Yinyou felt that he had saved himself one thing, so he happily agreed, and then continued to appreciate the quintessence of Chinese art.
After the brothers got together, they got up and resigned, and they all respected each other.
After leaving the elder brother’s Biezhuang, Yinyou breathed a sigh of relief, and sat in his own sedan chair when the prince got up, trying to stay as far away as possible from these brothers. It’s really unbearable to be with these brothers who are high-attack and high-defense.
While shaking the fan, thinking about the scene of the brothers’ reunion for a few days, Yinyou suddenly opened his eyes wide. The prince didn’t say much from the beginning to the end this time, even the prince smiled when the elder brother said something rude, A prince like this is really shocking.
What a crown prince hates the most is someone threatening his position, the prince is holding back now, what is he planning in his heart?
Fanning the wind vigorously, Yinyou lifted the screen window, wisps of wind blew in, and he immediately felt comfortable physically and mentally. Let’s fight, let’s fight, my not-so-good elder brother should be a theatergoer who knows the ending but not the process.
Summer is gradually passing, the leaves are beginning to turn yellow, the weather is beginning to cool down, and autumn has passed for a month. The township examination has ended, and some elder brothers closed their doors to thank guests, and each worked in a low-key manner, for fear of getting a little bit of trouble.
Yinzhen was frying Buddhist scriptures in the room, when he heard the sound of impatient footsteps outside the study, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, “Who is making noise outside?”
Xiao Luzi, who was waiting outside the study room, hurried in, and then knelt down with a plop: “Master, I just heard the news that Gege and the child in Qiye’s mansion are gone. I heard that the fetus has taken shape. It’s an ah!” elder brother.”
Yinzhen was startled, the ink from the brush splashed onto the paper without realizing it, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, “What’s going on?”
Xiao Luzi kowtowed his head: “I don’t know, I just know that Qiye’s house is in a mess at the moment, and Qiye was so angry that he smashed several good porcelains in the house. Call someone to tell the master.”
Putting down the writing brush in his hand, Yin Zhen didn’t have time to change his clothes: “What are you doing in a daze, why don’t you go to Seventh Brother’s house with me to have a look.”
As soon as Yinzhen arrived at Yinyou’s mansion, he saw that the servants in the mansion were panic-stricken. When he arrived at Yinyou’s courtyard, he saw several servants kneeling outside, so he asked Fuduo in a calm voice: “What’s going on, you How is the master?”
Seeing that it was Yinzhen, Fuduo hurriedly replied honestly: “The servant greeted the fourth master. Today, when the master came back, he heard that Gege’s child was gone. As a result, the imperial doctor had just arrived, and Gege followed him. The imperial doctor said yes. Gege has food problems, the master lost his temper, and now he is locked in the house, the servants are all worried about the master’s health, please persuade the master.” After finishing speaking, he knelt down in front of Yinzhen.
