Chapter 427
The next day when Honghui returned to the Qing Dynasty, it happened to be the birthday of Yinxiang's eldest son Hongchang, Hongchang and Honghui were the same age, only six days younger than him, because his father was the most beautiful Prince Yi today, so the boy's birthday also became important.

Teenage boys, of course, like to call friends, so many cousins were present that day, and for the Qing Dynasty, this is the easiest social moment for teenagers. Yinxiang was busy hunting zombies for several days, and he didn't have time to stay at home for his son's birthday, so he only told Hongchang to play how he likes, and entertain the guests when the time comes...... So the birthday feast became a gathering of young people.
On top of the birthday banquet, Hongshi came, but Hongli did not come. This fourth elder brother's habit is like this, he is not enthusiastic with anyone, his eyes are above the top, not to mention his cousin's birthday, even if it is Yinxiang's birthday, he is afraid that he is only "ordered by the Son of Heaven", and he has to shake his face.
Hongli didn't come, everyone was not surprised, they were even more surprised by Hongxi's presence.
Over the years, Brother Jiu and Yinxiang have not had a good relationship, this has long been an ironclad fact, according to the past, Prince Yi's children celebrate their birthdays, and Brother Jiu will send at most a gift that is not thick or thin, and there is no reason to come to the door in person. Honghui also has almost no contact with Hongchang.
This time, he was suddenly full of enthusiasm and came to congratulate him with a generous gift, which one is this singing?
But Hongchang this person, his son Xiao his father, is enthusiastic and bold and informal, seeing that his cousin, who has not been in contact for many years, suddenly came to the door today, and did not show the slightest surprise, still smiling and greeting, and said that he had not seen Honghui for a long time, and it was rare that he had time to come over to play today - this cousin's later life, Honghui still remembered, not long after, I don't know why, was Yinxiang "invited to be confined at home", Emperor Qianlong also said that he was "stupid and has never known how to teach", Hongchang has been imprisoned until his father died, was released by his uncle Yongzheng. However, in the fourth year of Qianlong, he was involved in the Honghui rebellion case again, this time he was stripped of Baylor's title, and he did not receive any gift after his death, in short, it was a very sad life.
"Hongli's little monster doesn't seem to like him all along, it's not difficult to understand, except for his 'exclusive pet' Hongday, no one likes that guy anyway." Honghui thought secretly, "But at the moment, there is nothing wrong with Hongchang." Why was he locked up by Uncle Thirteen in the end? β
The incident hasn't happened yet, Hongyan naturally doesn't know why, he came to celebrate his birthday today, and he didn't have to think too much, especially when he found out that Hongshi was also here, this heart can be put down.
A group of young people of the same age and blood relationship got together, and the banquet was naturally very lively, but Hongxi did not participate in the excitement, but just sat quietly on the side, smiling and watching the cousins eat and drink and chat, and glanced at Hongshi from time to time.
Like him, Hongshi is also a little unsociable, although he has always had a good relationship with Hongchang, because they are both the eldest child in the family but not a sister-in-law, plus they both encountered the unfortunate thing of "Ama doesn't like himself and likes his younger brother", so there are subtle similarities in the situation of the two.
Honghui seems unsociable today, firstly, because his father is not a party of Prince Yi, and secondly, Honghui has had the experience of crossing over, he has lived in modern society for a few months, and now he is back in a familiar environment, and he really has nothing to say to a group of cousins who know nothing.
But Hiroshi's unsociability is obviously a natural trait, and unlike Hiroshi, Hiroshi is the type who "can't fit in with the crowd no matter how hard he tries", he wants people to accept him, but he feels that it is simply hopeless. He did not pretend to be high-minded, but this young man had an uncomfortable cold taste, as if he was tired of everything in the world, and was emotionally full of frustration, or resentment, so that he could not socialize with people peacefully.
In addition, everyone knows that he plays that strange violin at home all day long, and others ask him, what does it mean for you to play that thing all day long? What's the picture? At first, Hiroshi always replied that he wanted to become Paganini in the future.
As soon as these words came out, they caused laughter, and when people asked what Panini was, Hiroshi had to struggle to correct that it was Paganini and not Panini, the former was a person, and the latter was just a kind of bread and stuffed food - these were also taught to him by Andre at the beginning, and Hiroshi actually wrote them down.
There are more jokes, and Hiroshi has learned wisely, he no longer explains to people, and he doesn't say anything to anyone Paganini, and when others ask again, he says coldly, I'm happy, what? What's wrong with you? The emperor didn't say anything, are you older than the emperor?
Naturally, people won't ask againβand at the same time, they don't want to talk to him anymore.
This kind of Hongshi is naturally dwarfed by his radiant and immortal-like younger brother, and he is not even as good as Hongtian, who knows how to eat stupidly all day long, and the latter is more popular because of his lack of scheming.
"How did the fourth uncle raise these three completely different sons?" Hongyu was puzzled, the difference between the three Hongshi brothers was as if they were from different universes.
He looked at Hongshi again and again during the banquet, Hongshi naturally found out, and then found an excuse to leave the table, Hongyan understood and got up.
When everyone went down, Hongshi asked, "Is there something wrong with me?" β
He has a close relationship with Eighth Elder Brother, and although he doesn't like Ninth Elder Brother too much, he is basically not hostile.
Hongyan thought for a while before saying, "Third brother, there are some things I want to tell you alone." β
Hongshi was stunned, but said with a smile: "What's the big deal, you can't talk about it here?" β
Unexpectedly, Hongyan nodded and said solemnly: "I want to talk to the third brother about it, this matter is ...... It was Andrei who asked me. β
He wanted to say that it was the emperor who asked him, but when he thought about it, Hongshi and his father had a cold relationship, and when he said this, he didn't want to listen to it.
So I had to turn a corner.
Sure enough, when Hiroshi heard Andre, his expression changed slightly.
At that time, the two of them were in the small bamboo forest behind Prince Yi's mansion, Hongshi lowered his head, took two steps between the green bamboos, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Talking about letting me go again?" β
Honghui nodded hurriedly: "It's the same...... Neither is it. This time, I may have more to say than Andre, and there are still some things that I want to show to you alone. β
He thought that if he said this, Hiroshi would be interested, but Hiroshi's face turned cold: "I don't want to see anything, and I also told Andre that I don't want to go over." β
Hongyan was taken aback, he was not discouraged, thought about it, and said, "To tell you the truth, third brother, I have been over there for the past few months." β
Hiroshi was taken aback: "Really? β
Hongyang was about to continue, but he saw a figure flashing behind the bamboo forest, and a loud laugh came: "What are the two brothers talking about, leaving us all on the table." β
Honghui hurriedly guarded his mouth, and when he looked again, it was the birthday star Hongchang.
Hongchang shook the folding fan, smiled with a smile on his face, and walked up to the two of them.
Hongyang hurriedly smiled: "I was dizzy from the smoke of those wine jars, and I was trying to come out to take a breath, but I happened to bump into the third brother here." β
Hongshi knew that he couldn't talk about it, so he smiled and said, "Let's go back to the table, wait a while, find out everything, there should be no one at the table." β
When he went back, while Hongchang was not paying attention, he whispered to Hongchang again: "Come to my side tomorrow." β
Hongyu understood and nodded.
At the end of the birthday banquet that day, Hongchang left Hongshi and said that there was a good new tea for Hongshi to taste.
The tea came up, and sure enough, it was green and fragrant, and it was fragrant.
"It's a silver needle rewarded by the emperor." Hongchang seemed to say casually, "Doesn't my Ama love to drink this?" As soon as this year's tea entered the palace, the emperor immediately ordered it to be sent to my Amma. β
Hearing the emperor's two words, Hongshi's face changed slightly, the tea that his father rewarded his uncle with, but he drank it at his cousin's place - Yinzhen has never been so concerned about his own son.
Seeing that Hongshi's face was not good, Hongchang waved his hand: "Third brother, don't be like this, others don't understand you, I understand." I have compassion for you and you. β
Hongshi put down the tea and sneered: "Sympathy? Uncle Thirteen didn't say anything like driving you out of the capital, did he? β
Hongchang was taken aback, leaned over and whispered, "Won't it?!" The emperor wants to drive the third brother out of the capital? β
"It's not just to drive him out of the capital, I'm afraid he won't want to see me again in his life."
Hongchang was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, and saw that no one was around, so he cautiously pressed his hand on Hongshi's arm: "Third brother, you have to be careful when you speak." β
Hongshi said lightly: "What are you afraid of?" It's just a death. The first emperor did not dare to kill his son, someone dared. β
These words were extremely presumptuous and bold, and Hongchang was shocked when he heard it.
But he still shook his head: "No." Although the emperor didn't favor the third brother much, he never lacked the third brother's share, so how could he drive the third brother away? β
Hongshi snorted: "You don't believe it? What did Honghui suddenly come to me and say to me today, you know? That is to be entrusted by men. β
Hongchang was stunned: "What's the matter with Hongxi?" β
"Don't you understand? The emperor can't talk to me directly, and he can't let the uncles say, can't he only find a junior to persuade me? β
"Then, where does the emperor want to persuade the third brother to go?"
Hongshi kept his mouth shut, he felt that when it came to the secrets of "that world", it was better not to talk to Hongchang, who knew nothing.
Hongchang also sighed when he saw that he was calm and silent.
"Sometimes when I think about it, it's really boring to live like this. No matter what I did, I, Amma, never looked at me squarely, and I didn't know what I was doing badly, only the child born by that woman, he paid attention to it. I was born in the wrong baby, can you blame me for this! β
The so-called "that woman" refers to Jiahui, and everyone in Prince Yi's mansion knows that although Xuan Jiahui's status is humble, to Prince Yi, this woman is quite important.
"What do you say, 'You can play as much as you want,' 'You can have a church if you want,' 'You're so old and you need your own social space,'...... He said something he couldn't understand, but he didn't even show his face! Tell me that if today is Hongxiao's kid's birthday, I, Amma, will not delay outside! β
After Hongchang finished speaking, he lowered his voice again: "Third brother, I can't do it, grandma doesn't love my uncle, third brother, you are different!" β
"What's different about me?" Hongshi replied casually, "The emperor only has Hongli in his eyes, and there is no difference between me and me." β
"Because of this, the third brother can't give in easily!" Hongchang lowered his voice, and he leaned over, "In the future, the emperor will return to the sea, let that kid from Hongli take the lead, and then you won't even have a place to eat, third brother!" (To be continued.) )
