The thirteenth elder brother consciously lost his words and couldn't help but pause, and smiled: "Four brother, where there is no fragrance in the end of the world, why do you care about this kind of woman? Let's go, the fourth sister is still waiting for you at home."
In the distance, the eighth elder brother had got on his horse and escorted the carriage away. The fourth elder smiled lightly, closed his sight, went outside the palace gate and got on the horse, turned around and said to the thirteenth elder brother: "I'll go back first. You saw Nian Gengyao back, so you came to me."
The thirteenth elder brother nodded, turned his horse's head and went to Nianfu in the opposite direction. When he came back from Nian Gengyao, the market was busy. The thirteen elder brother rode his horse all the way, and found it inconvenient. When he turned the corner, he saw that the street in front of him was even more chaotic. A group of people seemed to be chasing a female slave, and the female slave ran forward desperately, taking time from time to time to turn around and tear down the stall on the street to block the pursuers behind him.
Someone who looked like a personal trafficker yelled from behind: "Catch her, catch her for a reward, catch her for a reward!"
When he shouted, the lad chased harder, the female slave gradually exhausted her strength, and her steps became heavier. When she ran to the thirteenth elder brother, she staggered and fell down in front of his horse. The thirteenth elder brother hurriedly reined his horse, his horse hoof raised high and landed at the feet of the slave girl. The female slave looked up in horror, her face pale and colorless, she was obviously frightened stupidly.
Elder Brother Thirteen was also taken aback, and suddenly realized that this slave girl looked exactly like the maid named Qingchuan.
The trafficker chased up from behind, grabbed the female slave on the ground, and shouted angrily: "Oh, you bitch, how dare you escape from me and see if I won't kill you."
While speaking, he punched and kicked the slave girl. The slave girl didn't make a sound, but curled herself up, using her back to resist the man's fists and feet.
The thirteenth elder brother looked at it and hesitated for a while, then took out a handful of broken silver from his arms, raised his hand and spread it over the trafficker's head, and shouted: "This girl, I bought it."
There was a sudden drop of silver in the sky, and everyone was in a daze, then began to rush into a frenzy, and immediately squeezed the trafficker and the female slave to the side of the street.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled, rushed forward on a horse, pulled the female slave from the ground and put it in front of the horse, ignoring the screams of the traffickers behind, and whip.
He slowed down the horse until he galloped out of the street and reached a place where there were few people. He pulled the female slave who was lying in front of the horse and turned around, brushed off the hair on her face and took a closer look at her appearance. It really looked like Qingchuan. , These eyebrows, these facial features, are actually like carved out of a mold. The thirteenth elder brother was surprised and asked her: "What's your name?"
The slave girl hadn't recovered from this sudden change, she was taken aback and replied in a low voice: "The slave girl is called Huaying."
Elder Brother Thirteen loosened the hand that clamped her chin and praised: "Good name."
Huaying was tossed and sold by human traffickers several times since she was a child. She was quite scheming. She was shy when she heard the words. She first glanced at the thirteenth prince charmingly, and then quickly dropped her eyes again, avoiding it. The thirteenth elder brother looked up and said, "Thank you for saving the slave and maid out of the wolf den."
Seeing that she was obviously seduce herself, the thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but smiled. He put his arms around her and sat down in front of the horse again, and put his lips to her ears, and said with a low smile: "You don't need to work on me. Since I was a child, I have seen all kinds of women who can act. You can't fool me."
Huaying's body stiffened when she heard that, Elder Brother Thirteen laughed, and then asked, "Why did you escape from the trafficker just now? Do you know if you were caught by him, you might be killed?"
Huaying knew that the man behind him was not easy to fool, thought for a while, and replied: "The servant girl was a good man's daughter. She was abducted by the trafficker and wanted to escape, but he was very close. He had a chance just now. Naturally I want to give it a try. Anyway, I won’t be able to get away with it after being sold. It’s not as good as the whole fish die and the net is broken.”
The thirteenth elder brother listened, looked at her thoughtfully, and then said again after a while: "In this way, you are also a courageous person, well, since I bought you back, it is useful. As long as you are obedient, you will benefit from it."
After hearing the words, Hua Ying nodded vigorously.
The two rode horses, and the thirteenth elder brother asked a few more about Huaying's life experience. Seeing that she only insisted that she was abducted and sold by human traffickers, he didn't ask any more, and only took her to Yongwang Mansion. Entering the gate of the mansion, he did not go to the fourth eldest brother, but went to the inner courtyard with Huaying.
Jin Zhigang went to the kitchen to arrange lunch for lunch, and when he saw that the thirteenth elder brother suddenly brought "Qingchuan", he was shocked, pointed at Huaying with his finger, and asked him sharply: "Why did you bring her? ?"
Seeing that Jinzhi was also bluffed, the thirteenth elder brother couldn't help but laughed, and said, "This person is not Qingchuan, but a slave girl I just bought. The fourth sister-in-law also admitted wrong? When I first saw her appearance, it was the same. I was shocked. I thought she looked a little like Qingchuan too, but I was afraid that I might not be able to see it, so I brought it here to show my sister-in-law. Since you have also admitted wrong, it looks like you really look alike. ."
When Jin Zhi heard the words, he circled Huaying twice, looked at her carefully, turned his head and asked thirteenth elder brother in surprise: "Is she really not Qingchuan?"
The thirteenth elder brother smiled and nodded, and then said: "Sister Si, please ask someone to take her down to freshen up and dress up. Just dress up as Qingchuan usually wears, and I will show it to the fourth brother later. go with."
Jin Zhi then believed that Huaying was not Qingchuan. When I heard that 13th elder brother actually wanted to bring this woman to the fourth elder brother, he couldn't help but exasperated: "Your fourth elder brother just died of that slut, you brought this again. What did Xibei goods do when he came back? You still think your fourth brother is better, right?"
The thirteenth elder brother laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me. I brought her here for the sake of the big cause of the fourth brother. You will know when the time comes. Go and help her dress up. I'll wait here. "
Jin Zhi glanced at the thirteenth elder brother, and took Xin Jiang to the backyard with Huaying suspiciously. After a short half an hour, he brought back the newly-dressed Huaying. Elder Brother Thirteen looked at Huaying's dress, nodded in satisfaction, took her to leave Jinzhi, and came to the study in the outer courtyard.
In the study, Si elder brother is discussing the affairs of North Korea and China with Longkodo. Since the case of the third prince Zhu, the fourth elder brother has been idle at home and rarely participates in the affairs of the court. Therefore, Longkodo will deal with the affairs of the court. After a period of time, Longkodo will secretly come to the Yongwang Mansion. Go, discuss the affairs of the DPRK with the fourth elder brother.
Longcordor also heard about Kangxi’s marriage for the eighth elder brother, and said to the fourth elder brother: “The concubine is favored right now, and the eighth elder brother has a good reputation among the ministers. I heard that they jointly listed on the table yesterday. He asked the emperor to establish the eighth prince as his heir, and called him the eighth sage king. It seems that the eighth prince is really popular."
When I heard the word "referring to marriage", the fourth eldest brother suddenly thought of Qingchuan, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He was silent for a moment, and then faintly asked Longcord, "What do you think, uncle?"
Longcord got up and looked out the window cautiously. He saw that there was no one standing by the corridor. Only the fourth elder brother and a close servant guarded by the courtyard door. He sat back in the chair, staring at the fourth elder brother, and said slowly. Said: "It seems that the right way is no longer good. You have to find another way."
"Another way?" Brother Si frowned slightly.
He listened to Longkodo lowered his voice and continued: "The Nian Gengyao who was surrounded by the fourth elder brother is very useful. He holds the Imperial Guard in his hand, and the Imperial Guard is the only guard in the palace, as long as he is willing. Shot for us, there is still a lot to win."
Si elder brother was slightly startled, and immediately understood what Longcord meant, and refused without thinking about it: "No, such usurpation of the name is not right, even if it succeeds, it will remain infamous forever. What's more, the military everywhere has the control. In the hands of Huang Ama's confidant, even if it succeeds for a while, it will be besieged by the world, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to retreat all over.
Longkodo naturally took this into consideration, and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "What should I do? Is it possible to watch Ba Ge become the prince?"
Si elder brother said in a low voice: "The Art of War by Sun Tzu has something to say, we know ourselves and the enemy, and we will never end in battle. Now we can't even figure out the situation of the other party. It is really difficult to take the next step."
While speaking, I heard the young man at the gate of the courtyard saying hello to the thirteenth elder brother. After a while, he saw a young woman coming in from outside the door curledly, bowing to the fourth prince Yingying, and said softly: " Brother Si is auspicious."
Longcord shouted out: "Qingchuan?" He looked at Brother Si in astonishment, seeing that he was only looking at "Qingchuan" quietly, and hurriedly got up to blast "Qingchuan", and said angrily: "What are you doing? Will come here? Who let you in? Come here, come here..."
Brother Si, who has been silent, stretched out his hand and said indifferently: "Uncle, don't worry, she is not Qingchuan."
Longcordo couldn't help but was taken aback. The thirteenth elder brother over there was already clapping his hands and stepping into the room. He smiled and said, "Fourth brother is really good-sighted. I know she is not Qingchuan at a glance."
Longcord looked at Shisan in a surprise, then looked at the fake Qingchuan, and couldn't help asking: "Thirteen, who is this person? How come you look like Qingchuan?"
The thirteenth elder brother replied: "She was called Huaying. I bought it from the slave market. I have told her all about Qingchuan and taught her to learn the rules of the palace. Fourth brother, if so By keeping her with Mynah, will we get twice the result with half the effort?"
Brother Si hadn't spoken yet, but Roncordo on the side was already high-fiving and exclaiming: "Cunning, with her, we can know what they will do next."
Si elder brother lowered his face and said coldly, "No."
The other three people in the room were all taken aback, looking at Si elder brother together.
Si elder brother's gaze was slowly patrolling Huaying's face. Hua Ying was guilty of being seen by this sharp gaze, and she unconsciously lowered her eyes, and heard him say: "I recognized her at a glance, why can't Lao Ba be able to tell?"
