The solution that the tenth elder brother came up with was to invite the ninth elder brother to his house for a drink.

In order not to be too embarrassed, he also invited an uninformed one, that is, the fourteenth elder brother.

The fourteenth elder brother was rejected by them some time ago, and his mood was very low. But it didn't take long for the eighth elder brother to bear it, he said to the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, no matter how there is a separation, everyone is a brother after all, and there are not many days to get along with in the future. So don't treat the fourteenth elder brother as an outsider.

In this way, the fourteenth elder brother returned to this group, although he didn't know that this group had already changed its main tone.

This time, the tenth elder brother personally went to invite the ninth elder brother, and his tone was very earnest, and the ninth elder brother listened and nodded: "I can go, but there is one condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"I'm going to take Sjepan with me."

When Brother Ten heard this, he grinned, he just didn't want to let Brother Nine and Schipan be together.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Brother Jiu said, "If you don't want to, then forget it." ”

Brother Ten hurriedly said, "Yes!" Willing! Then bring him! ”

Only then did Brother Jiu accept the invitation.

Before the tenth elder brother left, he sighed again: "Ninth brother, don't think of people too fragile, if you go out for a day, he won't be like anything!" ”

Brother Jiu lifted his eyelids: "People who are in a hurry to jump up and down as soon as they can't find wifi are qualified to say this?" ”

Brother Ten couldn't cry or laugh: "It's just a few hours, don't worry." ”

But Brother Jiu said, "You can try to shut yourself up in a dark room without light for a few hours." ”

These words choked the tenth elder brother half to death.

On that day, the ninth elder brother changed the clothes that Si Jie Pan went out of, and told him that today was going to the tenth elder brother's house for a banquet. Sjepan asked, is there anything delicious?

The ninth elder brother laughed, and the tenth elder brother said something delicious, such as the big sea bass he just got, the crispy lotus root transported from the south, and the live shrimp raised in the pond, there are a lot of things.

"What do you want to eat?" Brother Nine asked him.

Sjepan thought for a moment: "Salt and pepper base shrimp." ”

Brother Jiu thought to himself, this is a little more difficult, there must be no Jiwei shrimp, and it is estimated that there is no salt and pepper. In short, getting a live shrimp for Sjepan to eat when the time comes should satisfy him.

sat in a sedan chair and arrived at the county king's mansion of the tenth elder brother. On the way, Sjepan asked Brother Nine why Brother Ten was younger than him but was the king of the county, but Brother Nine did not get such a title.

"The reason is the biological mother of Lao Shi." He told Sjepan the rank of the harem in detail, and finally said, "This is a world that looks at blood. ”

When Sjepan heard this, he seemed a little unhappy, and after a while, he wrote in the palm of Brother Jiu's hand: "But I think you are smarter than Brother Ten and more capable than him." ”

Brother Jiu laughed, and he said, "Anyway, in your opinion, no one can compare to me." ”

Unexpectedly, Sjepan nodded solemnly.

When I arrived at the place, I got out of the car, and the servant led me into the county king's mansion, and the tenth and fourteenth elder brothers were already waiting in the Houhua Hall.

The fourteenth elder brother didn't expect that the ninth elder brother would appear with the deaf and blind foreigner, he was a little surprised, so he looked at the tenth elder brother: "Ten elder brother, this ......"

Brother Ten hurriedly interrupted him: "Brother Nine is willing to bring him here, since he is here, he is a guest." A few of you, hurry up and show the Ninth Master a seat! ”

The ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother greeted each other lightly, and then he first placed Si Jiepan in the chair next to him, and then asked the tenth elder brother if he could get him something to eat too.

Brother Ten hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, you can't stop eating and drinking." ”

He also commanded the servants to serve tea and a snack before the meal.

"He wants to eat shrimp." Brother Jiu said again.

Brother Ten said, "There are shrimp!" I'll give him a plate of shrimp alone later! ”

Only then did Brother Jiu laugh: "He wants to eat salt-and-pepper shrimp." ”

Brother Ten was embarrassed for a while: "This ...... There's really no such thing, it's just ordinary prawns, salt and pepper...... The kitchen won't do it either. ”

"It's okay, I'm talking about it." Brother Jiu said, "As long as it's shrimp." He's not going to be picky. ”

So the three guests and hosts sat down.

The fourteenth elder brother was still very curious and asked, "Salt and pepper?" Is it chili pepper and salt? ”

Brother Ten nodded: "It's peppercorns and salt grains." In fact, not long ago, I also wanted to eat salt and pepper corn, so I asked the kitchen if I could try it. As a result, good guys! Serve me such a big bowl, it's numb and salty, and it's all pasted into a pot. ”

Brother Jiu smiled: "They really won't do this. Today's pots and stoves are also not suitable for this type of dish. ”

The fourteenth elder brother asked again: "Is this kind of food delicious?" Why does Brother Ten like this flavor? ”

The tenth elder brother couldn't answer, and the ninth elder brother said: "He just likes to try something new." In fact, the salt and pepper things don't taste as good as the dishes we eat on weekdays. ”

So the wine was served, the wine was happy, and during the banquet, the tenth elder brother specially instructed the kitchen to make boiled fish, and he told the ninth elder brother that the level of his own kitchen was poor, and he did not do it well.

The fourteenth elder brother was very surprised: "The ninth brother can cook?" How I didn't know! ”

Brother Ten said proudly: "You don't know much. ”

The fourteenth elder brother was displeased: "Ninth brother, the sage said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, what is your identity?" How can you cook? Spread it out so that the outside world knows, how bad it sounds! Don't do anything out of the ordinary in the future. ”

As soon as he said this, the two of them choked, and Brother Ten originally wanted to show off Brother Jiu's superb cooking skills with his younger brother, but he couldn't say a word now, Brother Ten was not convinced, and muttered, "Cooking is ability!" What's so embarrassing about this", Brother Nine hurriedly poked him with chopsticks, and the two of them had to eat the vegetables with their heads bored, and they were depressed when they ate the vegetables, because the fourteenth elder brother tasted a mouthful of boiled fish, and almost burst into tears, he threw down the chopsticks and shouted: "Brother Ten!" This fish is so spicy! How to eat! Isn't that bad? ”

Brother Ten was so angry that his face turned blue, and he simply scooped a large piece of fish meat into his bowl: "Why can't you eat it!" What do you mean by bad stuff?! Isn't that delicious? ”

The fourteenth elder brother looked at them in amazement, such a spicy dish, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother actually ate it with relish, and they didn't raise their eyebrows.

Seeing that he was surprised, Brother Jiu snorted: "You haven't gone to the fourth brother's table to see, the spicy chicken fried by the fourth brother is red and spread a whole bowl!" ”

Brother Ten seemed to think of something, and couldn't help sneering: "He is addicted to eating chili peppers, so he went to the house to buy bottles of old godmothers, and I looked at it in a panic." He is still not convinced when he is said to be perverted, does anyone eat spicy food like him? The curry should also be the spicy, everything must be spicy, and now it can be poured well, and the chili peppers will be poured into baskets and baskets to the Yongwang Mansion, and even the emperor knows it. ”

Brother Jiu also smiled: "Every time I make boiled fish, he says, add spicy!" Spice it up! And said, 'You are distressed about money!' 'Forced me to pour a box of chili peppers, and was scolded to death by a few of you, and in the end, he didn't eat it all alone? ”

The more the tenth elder brother said, the happier he became: "The table that the fourth brother did by himself last time was full of chili peppers, and the starling brother had tears and snot on his face when he came out. said that the fourth brother was bent on harming him, and he was so spicy that he couldn't see the road clearly. ”

The eighth elder brother is actually not good at eating spicy, he has always eaten exquisitely in the Ye family, but in the past two years since he came back, he followed a few of them every day to "dinner" together, and was forced to eat countless chili peppers, and he had to slowly adapt to the habits of his brothers.

The fourteenth elder brother said depressedly: "Now that I don't eat spicy food alone, you even have changed your tongue!" ”

Then he asked again, why didn't the eighth elder brother come.

"Starling's leg hurts for the past two days." Brother Ten said, "Don't you see that he hasn't been going to the court recently?" ”

When the fourteenth elder brother talked about this, he was still full of unwillingness: "The starling brother is discouraged!" Like him, the court is not diligent, and it is rare to see Huang Ama for a month, and he will not be left out even more in the future? ”

The tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother looked at each other and smiled bitterly, where is there still "in the future"? They're leaving at the end of the year.

The tenth elder brother said slowly: "Old fourteen, you don't understand the heart of the eighth brother. ”

The fourteenth elder brother said angrily: "I really don't understand the starling brother, I don't even understand you." Ninth brother, you are now learning that the starling brother is not going to the court, and I heard that the people who come from all the way are blocked in the front hall by you and refuse to see them, which makes everyone outside have different opinions, and the more you talk about it, the more ugly it becomes! Brother Jiu, what are you doing here? You really don't care anymore? Do you really want to give away half of the country that our brother has so easily beaten down? ”

Brother Nine smiled slightly: "Half of the country? The old man is still there, where did he come from? ”

The fourteenth elder brother was stuck for a while.

"Money, I've earned enough, and now except for the emperor, no one can do anything to me." Brother Jiu said slowly, "There are groups of wives and concubines, and the house is full of children, I have everything, what is there not to be satisfied with?" ”

Although he said so, there was no trace of self-satisfaction in his expression.

It seems to be full of emptiness and loneliness.

The fourteenth elder brother endured it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Ninth brother, if you don't like what you say as a brother, don't scold me." You really weren't like that before. Let me see, you became like this for the sake of this foreigner! ”

Brother Ten's heart jumped suddenly, he hurriedly went to see Brother Nine's face, although Brother Nine was slightly unhappy between his eyebrows, he didn't get angry.

"What's the matter with him?" Brother Jiu said lightly, "It's not so much that I became like this because of him, but that he was dragged down by me to end up with this disability." If I hadn't bumped into him in the first place......"

The fourteenth elder brother was unimpressed: "Brother Jiu, why bother? Everyone has a destiny, and this is not what Brother Jiu thinks. And Brother Nine takes care of him so well now, he should be grateful to Brother Nine, what is Brother Nine's identity? And what is his identity? You take him with you everywhere, does he have the qualifications? changed to an ordinary person, and knelt down and kowtowed. ”

These words were a bit harsh, and Brother Jiu wanted to refute them, but then he thought about it, why bother? If you continue to talk about it, it's also a chicken and a duck.

Thinking of this, he simply left his seat and went to Sjepan. Sjepan was holding chopsticks, awkwardly poking at the shrimp meat on the plate. He couldn't see the target, so he couldn't get up, so he was so anxious that he poked his chopsticks in the porcelain plate with a bang.

Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing, reached out and took the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a piece of shrimp meat, and put it in his mouth.

Then, there was an intoxicated look on Sjepan's face, which made Brother Jiu laugh.

So this guy likes to eat fish and shrimp so much? He thought that he had known that the family should have brought more food for him.

Feed him a few shrimp and scoop a spoonful of soup for Sjepan to drink. Brother Jiu was not satisfied, so he turned around and brought a stack of honey sweet lotus root from his table, and fed it to Sjepan piece by piece.

The fourteenth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other!

Brother Jiu has completely left the two of them aside, how can they still eat and drink?

Tenth Elder Brother endured it, but still said: "Ninth Brother, don't feed him, I'll call two people to come over and help him, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Brother Jiu said: "Others don't know what he likes to eat. ”

The fourteenth elder brother sighed: "Ninth brother, you are too much!" The blind man is not helpless, you saw the blind bat in the evening, flying all over the sky, but did one fly to the wrong nest? No! No matter how blind he is, he has a way! Don't bother! ”

The fourteenth elder brother's non-stop "blind man" and "blind bat" or something, the ninth elder brother is very unhappy, people have disabilities, and they should pay more attention when they speak, how can there be such impolite as him?

However, he thought about it for a while, and yes, it was quite unseemly for him to leave his two younger brothers behind and leave the table to feed Sjepan. So he had no choice but to go back to the banquet and ask Brother Ten to find two people to serve Sjepan.

They found two girls who were very dexterous when they looked at them, but Sjepan felt that they were strangers, and his expression immediately became nervous, and he looked around, as if he wanted to find Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu quickly shook his hand and wrote on it again, telling him that it was two little girls who came to feed him.

Sjepan's expression was both panicked and embarrassed, and he was even more overwhelmed when he heard that it was a little girl.

Still, he tried to endure the panic, and sat there honestly, waiting for someone to feed him.

Only then did Brother Jiu return to the banquet.

The fourteenth elder brother shook his head: "Brother Jiu, you are really no different from the old mother!" With his great credit, Brother Jiu shouldn't do this! Loss of identity! ”

Brother Jiu said coldly: "Identity, how many catties and taels?" Can it be eaten as a meal? ”

The fourteenth elder brother choked on him.

Brother Ten said depressedly on the side: "Brother Nine, don't say that. If it weren't for this identity, you wouldn't have been able to take such good care of him. ”

Brother Jiu sneered: "No, if it weren't for this identity, I wouldn't have been wrapped around my neck with an iron rope wrapped in yellow silk, how glorious!" ”

The tenth elder brother was mentioned by him like this, and also sighed: "Thinking about the first two days, it is really scary, fortunately there is a fourth brother, otherwise you will have to be locked up for the rest of your life like the abolished prince." Even if it is not for a lifetime, this notoriety will be difficult to change. ”

The fourteenth elder brother sneered on the side: "Tenth brother, are you thinking too simply? I also heard about the incident in the palace - how can a good person suddenly go crazy and bite people? I don't know that it's not the ghost of the old four! ”

As soon as he said this, both of them used a kind of "tell me what is good for you!" He looked at him helplessly.

Seeing their reaction, the fourteenth elder brother was also anxious: "Don't look at me like that!" Oh, you really believe in the fourth child so much? Ninth brother, the fourth brother didn't know what evil way he used, and he subdued my starling, and now the starling brother squatted at home all day long, and he didn't come out anymore, and then he subdued you again, and let you accept his favor, and then you didn't come out anymore, and then, above this court, isn't there only his Prince Yong's party left! You can't even figure this out! If he hadn't done anything here, I wouldn't have believed it! ”

Brother Jiu was about to answer angrily, "Then you will die", but he heard the clinking of cups next to him, the sound of smashing the ground was crisp, and the screams of the girl were carried out.

As soon as Brother Jiu turned around, he suddenly jumped up!

I saw that a big bowl of porridge was spilled on the table, the bowl smashed on the ground, and Sjepan's clothes and arms were all porridge!

Brother Ten also jumped up: "How did you do it!" Didn't you tell you to be careful? Come! ”

The two girls knelt down in a panic, kowtowing and saying that the slave should die.

Brother Jiu didn't lose his temper either, so he only took a towel and wiped it for Si Jiepan, the porridge was hot fish porridge, Si Jiepan's arms and the back of his hands were red, and the legs on his body were also painful, and the pain made him grin.

Although he was very angry, Brother Jiu knew that it was inconvenient for him to get angry, so he had to hold back his anger and said lightly: "How did you knock it over?" ”

A girl sobbed, "...... The slave maid wanted to, wanted to wipe his mouth with a towel, and as soon as he wanted to reach over, Lord Yang stepped back and touched his arm, which knocked over the porridge bowl. ”

When Brother Jiu heard this, he was furious, but he couldn't scold, so he had to say: "If you want to wipe his mouth, you have to tell him first, there is no signal, and the stranger suddenly put his hand on his face, can he not be afraid?" ”

Brother Ten also scolded: "Confused things! Don't get in the way here, let's all go down! ”

Only then did the two girls retreat in tears, and another slave came up to clean up the mess, and brought a basin of cold water to Brother Jiu, who put Sjepan's scalded hand in the cold water.

Seeing this, the fourteenth elder brother shook his head: "What a big deal!" He wasn't happy to wipe his mouth. ”

Brother Nine glanced at him coldly: "He is not used to being served. ”

The fourteenth elder brother nodded: "I can see it." Brother Jiu, he doesn't like to be served by others, so he has to be served by you, Brother Jiu, to be happy. Brother Jiu, he did it on purpose. ”

The ninth elder brother stopped his hand and turned his head to look at the fourteenth elder brother: "What did you say?" ”

"Can't you see it? He did it on purpose! "The fourteenth elder brother hates that iron can't become steel," the two girls can't serve him well, isn't this intentional? Wipe his mouth and sting him, as for it! Didn't he just want to pull you off our table, Brother Jiu? ”

"You say he did it on purpose?!" Brother Jiu became angry, and his voice became sharp, "He deliberately knocked over such a hot porridge, so that his hands and body were burned!" You say he did it on purpose?! You deliberately showed me one! ”

Although he couldn't hear or see, he also seemed to sense that the atmosphere around him was wrong, and he timidly tugged on Brother Jiu's arm.

Seeing this, the tenth elder brother had no choice but to play a round: "Old fourteen, people can't do it on purpose, don't say it so ugly, Brother Jiu, don't be angry, it's the girls who are not careful, I'll find two more experienced ......"

"Don't look for the sophisticated either." Brother Jiu waved his hand, "You just let him come to our table to eat, don't divide the table, I'll feed him." ”

Brother Ten was embarrassed: "How can this be done?" Brother Jiu, this is too ......"

Brother Nine glanced at him: "What?" You honor him and are not qualified to eat at the same table with you? ”

"That's not what I meant." Brother Ten was also a little angry, "He's eating next to him, isn't it good!" It's not that you don't give him food, it's not that no one takes care of him, Brother Jiu, you can't let him kick his nose in the face too much, right? What a shame! ”

This last half of the sentence completely made Brother Jiu angry: "How do you speak!" What does it mean to kick your nose and face? Shame on you about what he did! He's your minion? Can't you change your master's temperament from 300 years ago? ”

The tenth elder brother was also angry when the ninth elder brother said this: "What does this have to do with me!" In fact, I have already seen that the old fourteen is right, he just wants to pester the ninth brother! Originally, we were very happy to talk, but because of him, everyone's interest was ruined! There are so many blind people in the world! Oh, it's all like him, and they have to be served by a specific person? Women can't do it, they have to be men? Do you have to be Brother Jiu? Don't think I can't see his crooked thoughts! ”

Brother Nine stared at him coldly: "What do you mean?" ”

Seeing that the words had already been broken, the tenth elder brother simply didn't care about it: "Brother Jiu, he's a homosexual!" He's a crook! What good can he do if he pesters Brother Jiu! Didn't he just want to bend Brother Jiu and you! If he doesn't have this mind, let me thunder five times a day! ”

Unexpectedly, Brother Jiu nodded slowly: "Even if he really has this thought." And then what? So what? ”

The tenth elder brother was stunned: "But the ninth brother ......"

"He's a crooked, and he's unsightly? He can't be with me anymore? ”

"But Brother Nine! It's you who said it yourself! Even if the twenty or so sons of Huang Ama are bent, you are also straight! ”

"Yes, I said that," Brother Nine nodded, "but I want to open it now." ”

"Huh?!"

"Okay, then I'll officially inform you: Old Ten, your ninth brother and I are now a crooked." Brother Nine looked at him calmly, "It's going to start at twelve o'clock at noon today!" ”

The tenth elder brother couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother Jiu, don't mess around!" ”

"I'm not messing around." Brother Jiu said lightly, "Whether you can accept it or not, it's all your business, and it has nothing to do with me." If you don't recognize me as the ninth brother for this matter, then whatever you want. Please cut off the table and cut off righteousness quickly! ”

After that, he simply stopped paying attention to Brother Shi, reached out and helped Sjepan in the chair up, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

Ignoring the calls of the tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother behind him, the ninth elder brother helped Si Jiepan and left the back flower hall.

Looking at the figure of the ninth elder brother in the distance, the fourteenth elder brother was still confused: "Tenth brother, what were you talking about just now?" What straight and crooked? What does that mean? ”

The tenth elder brother stomped his foot: "Whew! I knew it! I already knew this guy had bad intentions! I had long expected this day! ”

Then he looked at the fourteenth elder brother with a confused face, and said angrily: "Don't ask, I look at you, get ready!" In the future, we will have to have a male 'nine sisters-in-law'! (To be continued.) )
