Si elder brother persuaded him: "Second brother, you are ill, don't get agitated." Then he wanted to help him lie down and rest.
The prince refused, broke away from his hand, and said frankly: "No, you listen to me to finish. Although our brothers have grown up together, we don’t usually have a lot of contacts. The last time Emama made you wrong. For me, even though I don't believe it, I still have half doubts in my heart. Now, when I look at it, I really treat the gentleman's belly like a villain."
He took out the envelope that Concubine De concubine gave him from under his pillow and stuffed it into the fourth hand. "After the concubine Concubine De concubine gave it to me, I have never seen it before. Now it is returned to you. From then on, you and my brothers It's one heart, I will always believe in you."
Brother Si hesitated, took the envelope and nodded vigorously.
Coming out of the Yuqing Palace and walking straight to the secluded corridor, Brother Si opened the envelope, but pulled out a blank sheet of paper from it. He stared for a moment, and suddenly realized that Concubine De Fei was only warning him. Not only did he show a smile on his face. After all, Eniang was the Eniang. Even if he hoped that he would protect the prince, she would not deliberately harm him.
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help being filled with joy, and strode towards Yonghe Palace.
In Yonghe Palace, a little palace lady was watering the flowers on the porch of the apse. When I saw Brother Si coming in along the veranda, she was about to report loudly, but Brother Si smiled and raised her hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "I'll go there by myself. ."
He walked very briskly, stepped up the steps and came to the corridor, and he heard Jade exclaimed from the house: "Master, the fourteenth elder brother is really filial, and every time he gets a trophy, he will send it to the palace."
Brother Si couldn't help but pause, and stopped outside the door.
Inside, De Fei looked at the various radiant jewels stacked on the table, and she also picked up a gratifying smile on her lips, but she said faintly: "Take these together with the treasures in the palace Count it and send it to the ministers. It is said that the fourteenth elder brother honored them."
Jade was a little puzzled, and asked, "Master, you have given them a lot of things in the name of Brother Fourteen in the past few years. Do you want to send them again?"
Hearing such words from the wise Jade, De Fei couldn't help but smile, glanced at her, and said softly: "The emperor spoils the old man, and I want the old man to deal with him in the name of the prince, whether I win or lose. I know. If you win, it's easy to deal with the prince. If you lose, you need the support of the ministers. Money is a foreign object, and you will come back if you go. If you can't keep your status, there will be nothing."
Jade suddenly understood it, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."
Si elder brother stood silently outside the door, Concubine De's voice was slow and gentle, and she used to talk to him like this, but at this moment, she only called him cold and heartbroken. It turned out that in her mind, he was nothing but A chess piece, all the plans are only for her other son, his fourteenth brother.
Jin Zhi came in from the outside, saw Si elder brother standing alone outside the door, and said strangely: "Siye, why don't you go in and give your mother your peace when you are here?"
There was no sound in the room. After a while, Jade opened the bamboo curtain from the inside and smiled and said, "Four brothers, Sifu Jin, you are here."
Jin Zhi nodded, but saw the indifferent color on Si elder brother's face, he turned and left without saying a word.
"Four Lord!" Jin Zhi called, and looked back at Jade in surprise.
With a barely smile on Jade's face, he asked Jin Zhi, "Fu Jin came to see the empress?"
Jin Zhi deliberately chased the fourth elder brother, but it was very rude to leave without seeing Concubine De in Yonghe Palace, so he had to follow Jade into the house and asked Concubine De: "Emam, what's wrong with him?"
De Fei frowned and sighed and whispered softly: "I blame Eniang for being bad. I haven't learned how to shut my mouth after entering the palace for so many years."
Jin Zhi didn't know the reason, and thought it was Concubine De concubine Si elder brother, that made him unhappy. After hearing Concubine De concubine's words, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine De concubine's hand and persuaded: "Emniang is an elder, teach him a few words It should be too, Ermian, don't blame yourself."
De Fei shook her head, but didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she just asked Jin Zhi, "I heard that your young couple are awkward again?"
Jin Zhi lowered his head and was silent for a moment, and said: "Emam, let's not tell you, I regret marrying the Fourth Master. I can't guess what he is thinking."
"Nonsense!" Concubine De scolded, "Hundred years of cultivation have been able to ferry together, and thousands of years of cultivation have been able to sleep together. How can this fate accumulated so hard to be wiped out in one sentence?"
"But..."
De Fei interrupted Jin Zhi, "Well, my palace knows what you want to say, it's nothing more than Si elder brother is incomprehensible and doesn't know how to hurt people. But children, getting along with husband and wife is a matter of learning. It is not just a moment to understand a person. It takes a lifetime to slowly feel what can be done. It is not a skill for a woman to control a man, but to change a man."
Jin Zhi was a little ashamed for a while, blushing, and lowered his head, and said: "I listen to Emother, but in this situation, what should I do?"
De Fei thought for a while, smiled lightly, and said: "Men chase women in the mountains, women chase the men in the gauze. As long as you are willing to put down your body and overcome your strength with softness, are you afraid that he will be wrong with you? The fourth child Too lonely, so lonely that no one can trust it. If you have a child, you might be able to understand the painstaking effort of being a parent. Jade, please invite Guanyin from the palace room and let Fu Jin take away."
Jin Zhi was busy with hearing this and wanted to decline, but Defei patted her hand gently, and said softly: "Emanny always hopes that you can live a long life, and your children and grandchildren will be full, so Emanny never wants to be a fourth child. Be a prince. Once a person reaches a high position, he can’t do anything about himself. The Sannomiya and the Sixth Courtyard are holding you, and national events are holding you. When the time comes, let alone the joy of family, it is difficult to even meet. It is better to be in the landscape What do you mean?"
Jin Zhi nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law understands."
With a kind and gentle smile on Defei's face, she said pointedly: "If you don't understand enough, you have to bring these words to the fourth child. He has to understand so that the two of you can have a worry-free life."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about the conversation again, and Concubine De urged Jin Zhi to return to the house. Jin Zhi also thought of Si elder brother. He resigned from Concubine De concubine and left the palace. But when he returned to the Yongwang Mansion, he knew that Si elder brother had not returned. Jin Zhi was a little puzzled in her heart. The fourth eldest brother had clearly left the palace before her, and he was riding a horse. How could he have not returned yet
She also remembered what Defei taught her, telling her to use softness to overcome the rigidity, so she didn't go to ask where the fourth elder brother was going, but went back to the room and waited quietly, until late at night, and did not see the fourth elder brother back home. Jin Zhi could not sit still, and sent Liu Ma to ask questions in the front yard. After a short meeting, Liu Ma ran back hurriedly, panting and said: "The fourth master did not come back, but the eunuch who followed the fourth master came back. He said... said..."
Jin Zhi was anxious when he heard it, and said in a hurry, "What do you say? You are so anxious."
Liu Ma carefully glanced at Jin Zhi and whispered: "He said that the Fourth Master went to Mengxianju."
"Mengxianju?" Jin Zhi was taken aback, but he didn't know where Mengxianju was.
Mother Liu explained courageously: "It's the brothel!"
Jin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He suddenly got angry and jumped up from the bedside and shouted, "What? He actually dared to go to the brothel."
Mother Liu nodded, and then asked, "Fu Jin, what should I do now?"
Jin Zhi firmly pulled the veil in her hand with both hands. She did a little bit because of Qingchuan's affairs. She has been smiling with him for the past few days. Who ever thought that he would not only refuse to appreciate him, but also make such a slap in the face. Things come. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, she has never been so angry! The fierce energy in the bones of the golden branches suddenly appeared, and his head became hot and he couldn't take care of anything. He only told Liu Ma in a cold voice: "Call me all the maids in the house, and bring all the guys you can take. Come on, I want to see, which one is desperate, dare to rub the sand in my eyes?"
Mengxian was in the middle, and in the huge hall, only four elder brothers were sitting alone to drink.
Qingchuan was dragged out of the backyard by Auntie Jiu, and pushed straight into the hall, "Go, go, that master wrapped up the entire Mengxianju just to see you."
While struggling hard, Qingchuan said in a low voice: "I don't want to see him. Anyway, he also gave you money. You can tell him to sit and drink by himself."
Aunt Jiu was anxious, and said angrily: "Is there a fucking place like this? A guest is not invited, and no one else is allowed in, making us deserted in front of Mengxianju, knowing that someone has booked the place. People who don’t know thought we were going to close the door. What will we do in the future? Since he wants to see you, you should go see you soon. After seeing you, the old lady can open the door and start a lively business!"
After speaking, he pushed hard and pushed Qingchuan into the hall. Qingchuan had no choice but to stand still after walking to the screen, and bowed to Si elder brother across the screen, and whispered softly: "The slave family is polite."
Si elder brother drank all the wine in the glass and looked up, "Are you here?"
Qingchuan smiled bitterly, "This master is so generous in his actions that he has wrapped up the entire Mengxianju."
Si elder brother said lightly: "I have a lot to say, but I don't want others to hear it. There is only one way."
"That's it." Qingchuan nodded slowly.
Brother Si looked at the fuzzy figure behind the screen and asked, "Why does the girl speak through the screen? Can't you come over and have a drink with me?"
Qingchuan thought for a while, and replied: "You can open your heart when you speak through the screen and you can't see anyone. If you know you and face it, you don't know what to say."
Brother Si smiled, nodded and said, "It makes sense."
Seeing that his words and deeds were very abnormal today, Qingchuan couldn't help but ask: "Master, what annoying thing has happened again?"
Si elder brother was silent for a moment and asked her: "If the truth you think suddenly becomes a lie, what would you think? If you are determined to go down a path, only to find that all the people you trust are holding you back. What would you think? What would you think if you found that even yourself had shaken this persistence?"
