Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 299
It wasn't until his elder brother hugged his shoulders and fell to the ground that Hong Zhuo was relieved.He ignored the pain, widened his eyes, and asked, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Hong Shu squeezed his fists, and glanced at the ground, this is the open space of the garden, without bluestone slabs, it shouldn't be a big problem to fall a few somersaults.

Hearing his younger brother's stupid question, Hong Shu smiled and said, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you just now that our brothers are practicing Buku, so it's easy and fast!" He said, pointing to the clothes on Hong Zhuo's body: "Go to the clothes outside. , so as not to get dirty!"

Hong Zhuo was thrown into a mess, only felt that his brother's smile was very dazzling, and couldn't hold back his anger.He hummed, stretched out his hand to remove his outer clothes, rolled up his sleeves, raised his chin and said, "Brother, are you trying to clean me up?"

Hong Shu nodded, and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm going to punish you today. As a brother, it's a shame that you don't know the rules. You've lost your eyes all day, and you're going to fly to the sky!"

Hong Shu smiled happily, but Hong Zhuo almost exploded with anger, complaining that his long entourage was ordered by his elder brother to send his younger brother off, which was premeditated.He puffed out his chest and said, "What did I do wrong? Brother wants to teach me a lesson, so he has to say something, or be careful that my fists don't know the rules!"

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Hong Shu gradually stopped laughing, his gaze became deeper and deeper, pointed at Hong Zhuo, and asked: "You have been filial to Fujin all day long, and you put on a face in front of us, have you forgotten yourself? Who gave birth? Should I beat you up if I put a nail in my mother's heart like this?"

Hongzhuo wanted to speak out, opened his mouth, but couldn't speak, turned his head away, and muttered: "So what about being filial to Fujin? Aren't you just acting obediently in front of Fujin! In the eyes of Er Niang, only you, the eldest son, are there? I can still see others go..." Before he finished speaking, he had already been kicked, staggered, and nearly fell.

Hong Shu has already opened his mouth to curse: "You bastard, you pat your conscience, how dare you say that? Of the three of us, which one is Emiang worried about the most? You have been weak since you were young, and Hong Xin and I were both made of ** Take care, you are the only one raised by Erniang's side, and weaned at seven years old. When Hongxin was close to Erniang when she was young, you would cry endlessly, and everyone coaxed you to get well."

Perhaps it was because of suppressing it for too long, the more Hong Shu talked, the more annoyed he became, and his body trembled slightly with anger.

Hong Zhuo's eye circles were already red, he stared fiercely at his brother, but didn't make a sound.

Hong Shu said again: "What kind of character is Ah Ma? Be cautious, for fear of making any mistakes. The examples of the uncle and the second uncle are all set in front. He has already warned us to stay away from those uncles. Why do you still go to Uncle Fourteen? Come around?"

Hongzhuo refused to accept it, straightened his neck, and shouted: "Uncle Fourteenth is Batulu, you, you are..." At this point, he couldn't continue.

Hong Shu sneered and said: "You want to say that Ama and I are both bears? At the age of 17, Ama followed Huang Mafa to the west, commanded the camp with the Yellow Banner, made great military achievements, and was named Baylor in the [-]th year. That brave Ba Tulu, besides relying on the favor of Huang Mafa and the power of the concubine De, what achievements have you made in support of the eighth uncle? 'Whoever talks about right and wrong is right and wrong', my brother-in-law is gentle, how can I offend them? It's just because of the epidemic the year before last that they circled Ten Uncle's mansion and hurt their face!"

Speaking of this, he was a little angry, and said: "You should also remember what happened the year before last. Uncle Fourteen followed his followers, needless to say, Uncle Nine and Uncle Ten are both in the capital. Everyone cherishes their lives , not hiding in the mansion, or thinking about how to get out of the city. Only the fourth uncle was busy in the inner city and couldn't find any manpower, so he transferred the brother-in-law who was an errand from the household department. That kind of offending people, and maybe getting sick at any time Is my brother-in-law a fool? Don’t you know that Uncle Ten’s status is so valuable that he’s not easy to offend? There are quite a few servants, but because the imperial physician and medicinal materials are all prepared, Uncle Ten and his family members are all safe and sound. This should be a big thank you to brother-in-law, but in their eyes, is this hurting face more important than saving lives? ?”

Although Hongzhuo also knew what his brother was telling the truth, he still shook his head and refused to admit it, saying: "He's just pretending to be honest! Who doesn't know that their family is domineering in the south of the Yangtze River, tricking Huang Mafa, and handling salt and tea for personal gain. Self is the moth of the country!"

Hong Shu laughed back angrily, and said: "What a big hat! It seems that the uncles really can't wait, why dare you say this in front of Huang Mafa? The silverfish of the country, the silverfish of the country, the property under the name of Uncle Jiu is all over the place. In Gyeonggi, seeing who has a better business, I try my best to get it. I really know how to run it? The eighth uncle is famous far and wide, stomping his feet, and there are countless responses from the government and the public. Where did the money for this communication come from? Who is a fool? These words are beyond my nephew's ability to say, but what do they want to do? To slander your brother-in-law in front of you, to alienate the family, their minds make it really uncomfortable, right?"

Hong Zhuo couldn't say no to his elder brother, he clenched his fist vigorously and said: "You will speak well for him, brother-in-law or uncle?"

Hongshu was usually reticent, rarely talked so much, he felt very happy, seeing that Hongzhuo didn't enter Yanjin'er, he was tired of it, and said: "Brother-in-law, what do you wear and eat on weekdays? You know? In such a large Earl's Mansion in Beijing, if there were no older sisters to marry those people, there would be less than a hundred people. Why should they be slandered for no reason when they live in peace like this?"

Hong Zhuo was reprimanded by his elder brother in one go, and there was no room for rebuttal. He was agitated for a while, and his face flushed, and he said: "Speaking of it, you are still the reason, so what about Qiaofu? He knows clearly I like her, but I still don't know why; if I bully her and refuse to give her a title, what kind of man is he!" At the end, he was really angry.

He was not the only one who was so angry, Hong Shu couldn't restrain himself, and said with staring eyes: "Okay, the brotherhood of these ten years is not as good as a woman? I love you for nothing, can you tell me?" You are a white-eyed wolf! Good words are worthless, and I am impatient to tell you, so you can go down as a bastard!" As he said, he turned and wanted to leave.

"Who do you say is a white-eyed wolf?" Hong Zhuo stepped forward and stopped in front of Hong Shu: "Can you tell me clearly?"

"I mean you!" Hong Shu was extremely angry, his face was full of frost, and his eyes were full of disappointment.He forgot what Cao Yong told him not to hit his face, and waved Hong Zhuo a slap.It was different from the somersault that he threw with a laugh just now, and the kick he gave later, this slap was real, and Hong Shu's hands were numb from the shock.

Hong Zhuo was beaten until his ears were ringing and his eyes were hot. He had long since ignored his brothers and sisters, and when he yelled "miscellaneous", he rushed towards Hong Shu.

The two brothers immediately twisted into a ball and beat them desperately.All of a sudden, fists were flying horizontally. Although Hong Zhuo was young but not weak, he punched Hong Shu hard on the cheek.

Hongshu felt his mouth was salty, and couldn't help adding a bit of fierceness to his body. He grabbed Hongzhuo's braid, stretched out his feet, and stumbled for him.

Hong Zhuo wanted to turn over, but Hong Shu pressed him hard with his knees.As soon as he punched and kicked, Hong Zhuo was so painful that tears came out. He felt that his forehead was numb, and finally couldn't help it, crying: "Brother..."

This "big brother" made Hong Shu wake up.Seeing his younger brother lying on the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, he felt a little distressed, but he still asked with a straight face, "Are you convinced?"

Hong Zhuo only felt pain all over his body, how could he be willing to obey?As a result, as soon as he said "no", Hong Shu's fist came again.

He was angry and hated, but he couldn't beat his brother, so he couldn't help howling and burst into tears.

Although he is fourteen years old, but because his birthday is in October, he is not yet thirteen years old, but he is still a child.

Seeing his younger brother crying aggrievedly, Hong Shu regretted that he was too tall, so he turned over and sat in front of him, and said, "You are not young anymore, think about it, am I wrong about that sentence?"

Hongzhuo ignored him and continued to cry.Hong Shu said: "Don't cry, listen to my brother's advice, stay away from Fourteenth Uncle, there is only half a year left left and right in the study room, next year we brothers will be helpers by Ama's side." , He sighed, and said: "We are brothers and sisters, can my elder brother harm you? You don't know why Fujin raised Hongjing? I just got married with your sister-in-law, so why would I have other thoughts? The niece came here because she felt uncomfortable seeing your sister-in-law getting closer to her mother-in-law."

Hong Zhuo burst into tears, feeling embarrassed by his height, and slowly silenced.

Hong Shu said: "But I hurt you? Then brother apologizes to you, don't you like Hai Dongqing, how about brother giving you that?"

The sea holly he was talking about was given to King Chunjun by a Mongolian king who came to Beijing a few years ago.The king of Chunjun gave it to Hongshu because his legs and feet were inconvenient and he didn't like hunting.

Hong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he sobbed and said, "Brother is not lying, are you really willing to give me away?"

Hong Shu patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said, "The younger brother is more important, or is it a thing?"

Hong Zhuo wiped his tears with his sleeve, but felt a little embarrassed.

Hong Shu breathed a sigh of relief, looked up to see that it was getting late, reached out and took the clothes that had been put aside just now, and put them on.At this time, I saw the chief who was guarding outside the garden coming to report that his wife had arrived.

Hongshu saw that Hongzhuo was still not getting up, and said with a smile, "Stop sitting still, your sister-in-law is still waiting for us!"

Hong Zhuo touched the sore spot on his face, and muttered, "Brother, why did you bring your sister-in-law into this? How embarrassing!"

Hong Shu glanced at him, and said, "What's wrong with you, poor and poor? Your sister-in-law, like the elder sister, was held in the hands of her parents at her mother's house, and it was only when she came to our house that I worked harder. After suffering these grievances, even my brother-in-law would have Make a face. Hmph, in the final analysis, I’m the one who indulged you! Turn around and think about it, if Cao Song dared to do this to the elder sister, wouldn’t the brother-in-law’s fist go away in the morning!”

While talking, the two brothers put on their outer clothes and went out of the garden to the backyard.

Mrs. Borzigit sat on the edge of the Kang, looked at Qiaofu who was sitting on the next chair, touched her nails, and said nothing.

Qiaofu was very disturbed, the house here is secluded, not the servant's mansion, finally couldn't help it, and whispered: "Biao sister-in-law, where is this..."

Mrs. Borzigit smiled lightly and said: "This is the house where my natal family married as a dowry. Cousin don't have to be cautious, just be more comfortable!"

Although when she first married into the palace, Mrs. Borzigit was quite polite to these two cousins; but since she came back from her mother's house and was forced to take Qiaofu's tea, she didn't bother to deal with them anymore. His complexion is also ugly.

It's rare to show a smiling face like today, and Qiaofu felt quite flattered.

Qiaofu didn't know what to say, so she listened to Borzigit's soft voice: "Uncle or Second Master, which one does my cousin like?"

This question was so straightforward that Qiaofu felt her heart was about to jump out.

Hearing the sound of footsteps in the yard, two brothers Hong Shu and Hong Zhuo came.

Hong Zhuo came in and was about to greet his sister-in-law when he saw Qiao Fu sitting on a chair with his head bowed. He couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Hong Shu ignored him, strode into the room and sat down beside his wife.The husband and wife smiled at each other, feeling that the depression these days had been swept away.

Qiaofu's face was flushed red by Hong Zhuo's stare, but she couldn't sit still.She got up from her seat and bowed her head to salute Hong Shu: "Hi, cousin!"

Hong Shu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Sit down, don't stand!" Then he said to Hong Zhuo: "Silly boy, you will see it later! Now, I have something to say, you should sit down and listen!"

Although Hongzhuo didn't know what his brother was going to say, he still obeyed his orders and came in to sit down, but his eyes couldn't stop sweeping towards Qiaofu.

When Hong Shu met, he glanced at his wife, and it seemed that what his wife said was right, the person who tied the bell was needed to untie the bell, and the doctor needed heart medicine for heart disease.

Seeing her husband looking at her like this, Mrs. Borzigit blushed and smiled slightly at her husband.

Hong Shu couldn't help but be obsessed with watching, usually he only thought that although his wife was dignified, she was not beautiful and gentle enough, but now she looked at her and liked it from the bottom of her heart.

The four of them sat like this without making a sound, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Seeing her husband losing his composure, Mrs. Borzigit called softly.

Hongshu came to his senses now, coughed, and said to Hongzhuo seriously: "Second brother, brother here seriously asks you, do you really want Qiaofu?"

In a word, asking Hongzhuo fell into a dream, confused and confused: "I really want it, who can't tell a lie?"

After Hongshu heard this, he didn't say anything more, and gave Borzigit a wink.

Mrs. Borzigit rubbed her fingernails, and said to Qiaofu: "Cousin, you have heard this with your own ears, and you should believe your second brother's intentions. Your affection for your second brother is really worthwhile! Although Fujin Good intentions, but my cousin and my second brother are in love with each other. As elder brothers and sisters-in-law, it is not easy to stand by and watch the elders mess up the mandarin ducks. Today, my sister-in-law is here to ask you, would you like to follow the second master? The flowers and candles have been prepared. As long as you nod, you will be sent to worship hall immediately to get married. Don't worry about the elders, everything will be taken care of by elder brother and sister-in-law."

Before Qiaofu responded, Hongzhuo had already jumped up from the chair, looked at his brother and sister-in-law in disbelief, and asked, "This... is this true? Are you really going to marry us?"

Hong Shu nodded and said with a smile: "This kind of thing can be joked, but it can't be more true. The servants of the mansion here have been busy for a long time, and the bridal chamber has been cleaned up, leaving only the groom and the bride! "

"That's great, thank you brother and sister!" Hong Zhuo was so happy that he almost danced.

Seeing that Qiaofu didn't respond for a long time, Mrs. Borzigit smiled and said to Hongzhuo: "Second brother, don't be too happy, the bride must nod before she can pay her respects!"

Hongzhuo nodded vigorously, looked at Qiaofu with a smile on his face, and said, "Nod quickly, I really want to thank my elder brother and sister-in-law for the arrangement!"

Qiaofu raised her head and glanced at everyone in the room, as if falling into an ice cave, she felt so cold that she was about to shiver.

Hong Zhuo waited impatiently, and asked urgently, "Whether you like it or not, you should answer!"

Where is there any choice?No one gave her a choice, Qiaofu nodded, feeling that she could no longer hold on, and almost fell down.

He heard Borzigit say with a smile: "The bride has nodded!" As he spoke, he called the maidservant to come out and send the couple to dress up and change clothes.

After a while, there were only two husband and wife left in the room, Borzigit sighed and said, "Based on my cousin's appearance, it's a shame to come down like this!"

Although it is said that there is a lot of worship here, it is just to cook the cooked rice for raw rice, so as to save Chun Wang Fujin extra trouble.Without going through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not considered a serious marriage.

What's more, because of the disturbances in front of Hongshu before, Qiaofu's morality is at fault, and Junjun King Chun couldn't possibly agree to this woman who has been the eldest son's concubine for several months as the second son's main wife.

Hearing the guilt in his wife's words, Hong Shu held her hand and persuaded her: "We are doing our best! They agree with each other, it is better than being an eyesore between us, and it will affect the brotherhood. Speaking of it, this is already Excellent arrangement. You don't have to worry about Fujin, you don't even need to mention Qiao Rong's matter!"

Mrs. Borzigit shook her husband's hand back, and said with a smile: "There must always be a step down for her. After two years, my grandfather will always have a concubine. Even if there is no Qiao Rong, she will find a way to force someone else to come here. It's not as good as Qiaorong, who has no heart, and doesn't seem to be making trouble."

Hong Shu also knew that if he became the heir of the palace, even if he didn't accept it, the palace would point out someone else.Thinking of this, he glanced at his wife guiltily, and sighed: "I really wronged you!"
