Chapter 81 Chapter 81: Grandpa is really generous

The fourth elder brother persuaded him: "Second brother, you are sick, don't get excited." Then he helped him to lie down and rest. The prince refused, broke free from his hand, and said frankly: "No, listen to me. Although we two brothers grew up together, we didn't have much contact with each other. Give it to me, although I don't believe it in my heart, I still have some doubts. Looking at it now, I really judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." He took out the envelope that Concubine De concubine gave him from under his pillow, and stuffed it in the fourth child's hand, "I have never seen this concubine De concubine after she gave it to me, and now I return it to you. With one heart, I will always believe in you."

The fourth elder brother hesitated for a moment, took the envelope, and nodded vigorously. Coming out of Yuqing Palace and walking straight to the secluded corridor, the fourth elder brother opened the envelope, but pulled out a blank paper from it.He stared at it for a moment, and immediately understood that Concubine De was just warning him, not only did he show a smile on his face, he secretly thought that Er Niang was Er Niang after all, even if he wanted him to protect the crown prince, he would not intentionally harm him. Thinking of this, I couldn't help being filled with joy, and strode towards the Yonghe Palace.

In the Yonghe Palace, a little maid was watering the flowers on the porch of the apse. Seeing the fourth elder brother coming in along the corridor, she was about to report loudly, but the fourth elder brother smiled and raised his hand to stop her, and said with a smile: "I'll go by myself .” He walked very briskly, stepped up the steps to the porch, and heard Fei Cui beamingly say from inside the room: "Master, Brother Fourteen is really filial, every time he gets a spoil of war, he sends it to the palace." The fourth elder brother couldn't help but paused, and stopped outside the door.

Inside the room, Concubine De looked at the various radiant jewels piled up on the table, and with a gratified smile on her lips, she ordered lightly: "Take these together with the treasures that I have privately kept. Count it, send it to the ministers, and say that the fourteenth elder brother respected them." Fei Cui was a little puzzled, and asked: "Master, you have given them a lot of things in the name of Elder Brother Fourteen in recent years, do you want to give them more?" Hearing the always intelligent Fei Cui ask such a question, Concubine De couldn't help laughing, glanced at her, and said softly: "Now the emperor dotes on the eighth child, I want the fourth child to deal with him in the name of protecting the crown prince, whether he wins or loses, it doesn't matter." I know. If you win, it will be easy to deal with the prince. If you lose, you will need the support of the ministers. Money is something outside of you, and it will come back when you go. If you can’t keep your status, you will have nothing."

Jade immediately understood, and replied in a low voice: "Yes." The fourth elder brother stood silently outside the door. Concubine De's voice was slow and gentle, and she usually spoke to him like this, but at this moment it only made him feel cold. It turned out that in her mind, he was just A pawn, all the plans are just for her other son, his fourteenth brother. Jin Zhi came in from the outside and saw the fourth elder brother standing alone outside the door, he wondered: "Si Ye, why don't you go in and say hello to Emiang when you're here?" There was no sound in the room, and after a while, Fei Cui opened the bamboo curtain from inside, and said with a smile: "Si elder brother, Si Fujin, you are here."

Jin Zhi nodded, but seeing the indifference on the face of the fourth elder brother, he turned and left without saying a word. "Fourth master!" Jin Zhi shouted, turning back to look at Fei Cui in surprise. Fei Cui forced a smile on her face, and asked Jin Zhi, "Fu Jin came to see your empress?" Jin Zhi deliberately chased the fourth elder brother, but it would be very rude to leave without seeing Concubine De when he came to Yonghe Palace, so he had to follow Fei Cui into the house, and asked Concubine De, "Emiang, what's wrong with him?" Concubine De frowned and sighed, and said softly: "It's all because Er Niang is bad, she hasn't learned to keep her mouth shut after all these years in the palace."

Jin Zhi didn't know the reason, and thought that it was Concubine De who reprimanded the fourth elder brother, which made him unhappy. Hearing what Concubine De said, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Concubine De, and persuaded: "Emiang is an elder, teach him a few words. It should be, Er Niang, don't blame yourself." Concubine De shook her head, but she didn't want to say any more, so she just asked Jin Zhi: "I heard that you two are having a fight again?" Jin Zhi bowed his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "Emiang, to tell you the truth, I regret marrying Fourth Master, I can't even guess what he was thinking."

"Nonsense!" Concubine De reprimanded, "Cultivating for a hundred years to cross the same boat, and cultivating for a thousand years to sleep together, this fate accumulated with great difficulty, how can it be erased with a single sentence?" "But……" Concubine De interrupted Jin Zhi's words, "Okay, I know what you want to say, it's nothing more than that the fourth elder brother doesn't understand style and doesn't know how to love others. But child, getting along with husband and wife is a science. To understand a person, it doesn't take a while. If you can do it, you have to spend your whole life to feel it slowly. It is not a skill for a woman to control a man, but it is a skill to change a man."

Jin Zhi was a little ashamed for a moment, blushed and lowered his head, and said, "I listen to Er Niang, but in this situation, what should I do?" Concubine De concubine thought for a while, smiled softly, and said: "Men chase after women, and women chase men, as long as you are willing to put down your figure and use softness to overcome strength, are you afraid that he will treat you badly? The fourth child It's too lonely, so lonely that no one will trust it. If you have a child, maybe you can understand the painstaking efforts of being a parent. Fei Cui, invite the Son-Song Guanyin from the palace room, and let Fujin take it away."

After Jin Zhi heard this, she hurriedly wanted to decline, but Concubine De patted her hand lightly, and said softly: "Emiang always hopes that you will have a long life and a full house of children and grandchildren, so Emiang never thinks about the fourth child. To be a prince. Once a person ascends to a high position, he will not be able to do anything independently. The Sangong and Sixth Courtyards will hold you, and national affairs will hold you back. At that time, let alone family happiness, it will be difficult to even meet each other. It is better to be happy in Shanshui What do you think?"

Jin Zhi nodded and said, "Daughter-in-law understands." Concubine De showed a kind and gentle smile on her face, and said pointedly: "You don't understand enough, you have to bring these words to the fourth child. If he understands, you two can live a life free from worries." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked again, and Concubine De urged Jin Zhi to return to the mansion. Jin Zhi was also thinking about the fourth elder brother, so he resigned from Concubine De and left the palace, but only when he returned to Yongwang's mansion did he know that the fourth elder brother had not returned.Jin Zhi was a little puzzled, the fourth elder brother obviously left the palace earlier than her, and he was riding a horse again, how come he hasn't come back yet? She remembered what Concubine De had taught her, telling her to use softness to overcome strength, so she didn't ask Si elder brother where she was, she just went back to her room and waited quietly until late at night, and she didn't see Si elder brother return home.Jin Zhi couldn't sit still anymore, so he sent Mama Liu to ask in the front yard. After a while, Mama Liu hurried back and said out of breath, "Si Ye didn't come back, but the little eunuch who followed Si Ye came back. He said... said..." Jin Zhi was anxious when he heard it, and said angrily: "Say what you say, you are so anxious." Liu Ma took a careful look at Jin Zhi, and said in a low voice, "He said that Fourth Master went to Mengxianju." "Mengxianju?" Jin Zhi was taken aback, but he didn't know where Mengxianju was. Liu Ma boldly explained: "It's a brothel!" Jin Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he lost his temper immediately, jumped up from the bed and shouted: "What? He dared to go to the brothel." Liu Ma nodded, and asked again: "Fu Jin, what should we do now?" Jin Zhi pulled the handkerchief tightly with both hands, because of Qingchuan's matter, she had done a little too much, and she had been smiling at him for the past few days. things to come.Although she is an illegitimate daughter, she has never been so angry!The fierceness in Jin Zhi's bones was revealed all of a sudden, his head became hot, and he couldn't care about anything, so he ordered Liu Ma in a cold voice: "Call me all the maids in the mansion, and bring all the ones who can be taken with you." Come on, I want to see, which one is so desperate to rub the sand in my eyes?" In Mengxianju, only the fourth elder brother sat in the huge hall and poured himself a drink. Qing Chuan was dragged out of the backyard by Jiu Yiniang, and pushed straight into the hall, "Go, go, that master has booked 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 gave you money, so you can tell him to sit and drink by himself." Jiu Yiniang was in a hurry and said angrily: "Is there such a mother who has booked the place? No guest is invited, and no one else is allowed to enter, making it deserted in front of our Mengxianju. We know that someone has booked the place. Those who don’t know think we’re going to close the door, what will happen to this business in the future? Since he wants to see you, you should go and see him quickly, and after the meeting, I can open the door to do lively business!” After speaking, he pushed hard, pushing Qingchuan into the hall.Qing Chuan had no choice but to stand behind the screen, bowed to the fourth elder brother through the screen, and said softly: "My family is polite." The fourth elder brother drank the wine in the glass, raised his eyes and looked over, "Are you here?" Qing Chuan smiled wryly, "This master is really generous, he took over the entire Mengxianju." The fourth elder brother said lightly: "I have a lot to say, but I don't want others to hear it. This is the only way." "I see." Qing Chuan nodded slowly. The fourth elder brother looked at the blurred figure behind the screen and asked, "Why is the girl talking through the screen? Can't you come and have a drink with me?" Qing Chuan thought for a while and replied: "You can't see anyone when you talk through the screen, so you can open your heart. If you know each other and face each other, you don't know what to say." The fourth elder brother smiled, nodded and said, "It makes sense." Seeing that his words and deeds were very abnormal today, Qing Chuan couldn't help asking: "My lord, what's bothering you?" The fourth elder brother was silent for a moment, and asked her: "If what you thought was the truth suddenly turned into a lie, what would you think? If you are determined to go on a path, but 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 insistence?"
