The third day of the ninth month of the 60th year of Qianlong. (.LA good-looking marshmallows.)

On the third watch, the old emperor got up from the bed. He didn't alarm the eunuchs in the outhouse, he just sat quietly in the tent, trying to run the blood around him.

He felt a faint stiffness and stagnant pain all over his body, a sign of old age.

This discomfort often surprised the old emperor, as if he was not ready to accept the arrival of old age.

But he understands that he should be content, he has lived for a long time, and in the future, I am afraid that he will have to continue to live for a while, in this period, it is difficult for ordinary people to live as long as he is, let alone to be as old as he is, but still mentally strong and agile.

Because this is the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Thinking of this word, the emperor showed a slight sneer, except for him, no one understood the meaning of this word, and the people who knew this word either died or left, and now, only he was left.

The Emperor couldn't help but think of a long, long time ago.

At that time, the first emperor was still there, and he once said to his youngest son at that time, the current emperor, in the future, you will rule this country, and it will be for a long time. So I hope ......

He didn't finish it, and that look, as if he had too much to say, but he didn't know how to express them to his children one by one.

Or even feel that everything is superfluous and useless.

The first emperor is the biological father of the current emperor, and it is he who handed over the throne to the current emperor.

But the emperor hated his father.

He couldn't tell when this dislike began, as if there was a vague memory, he clearly remembered that in the early years he and his father got along well, but then they drifted apart, and they became so weak that the emperor did not even want to see his father for a while.

He hated the man, and in the history books, he disguised this disgust with excessive filial piety and deference, and since his father's death, this hatred has developed into a hatred.

Inexplicable hatred.

The old emperor himself didn't know where this hatred developed from, and why it became more and more intense, he only knew that this hatred was from the day the first emperor died, just like the magma under the volcano, after many days, finally erupted......

No one knew that when he rushed into the room that day and saw the corpse with his own eyes, his heart was cold.

He couldn't tell anyone that the Emperor had a strange thought in his heart: the corpse was not his father.

His real father, fled.

He clearly promised to stay and never leave!

It was then that the fury attacked the young heir emperor. He threw the sharp axe he had prepared long ago into the pool of liquid.

Since the father can not keep his promise, then he does not need to keep his promise.

Everyone thought that the first emperor was dead, and only Xinjun knew that his father was not dead, he fled, that coward who broke his word!

He knew where his father had fled, he had been to that world, and his uncles, his older brother and younger brother, all stayed there. At one time, the Emperor had a very good opinion of that place, because his father longed for it so much.

But since the first emperor left, he began to be full of disgust for everything there. So much so that everything related to it made the emperor hate it in his heart, he hated Western things, which reminded him of all kinds of things he saw in that world, and he denounced them as evil ways, and ordered the blockade of ports everywhere, the implementation of sea bans, and the elimination of all people and things coming from the West.

But there were still white men with curled hair coming from the other side of the sea, carrying purportedly gifts from the British Empire, hoping to trade with the Empire.

The Emperor despised the guy named Macartney, whose hair and eye color reminded him of a nasty man named Andrei, with the same blond hair and the same blue eyes.

…… And this person is just as hateful as Andrei, because none of them are afraid of him and are not even willing to kneel for him.

Well, in that case, don't blame him for shutting the country. He couldn't get rid of that Andre in the first place, at least, he could drive Macartney out of the Qing Dynasty.

In the tent, the old emperor took a deep breath, it was already five watches, the eunuch was coming soon, and today was an important day.

Today, the emperor wants to convene the princes, grandsons, princes and ministers in the Qinzheng Hall of the Old Summer Palace, declare his grace, and appoint the emperor's fifteenth son, Prince Jia, as the crown prince. Then, he abdicated as Emperor Taishang.

This has been planned for a long time.

The fifteenth elder brother is not a great prince, this is a bad choice, and the fifteenth elder brother will be the first domino to fall.

The emperor knew it in his heart, but he didn't care anymore, he knew that no matter how he chose, everything was a foregone conclusion. His prosperous life is just an illusion, a brilliant soap bubble, the first emperor has long told him that under this prosperous world, it is all human blood steamed buns.

To date, the emperor has lived alone for a full sixty years. He couldn't find a companion, he couldn't hear a word from the bottom of his heart. He is the noblest existence in this world, and the most peculiar existence in this world.

He is out of place with the world.

He's had enough.

"Aprèsmoi, ledeluge (After I die, it will be a flood)." The old emperor read a phrase he had heard a long time ago out of nowhere, and he muttered to himself in the tent, giggling and chuckling.

———— the dividing line of three hundred years————

Yin Zhen saw Brother Ten standing at the door of the villa from a distance, waving at him, he drove the car slowly, and the snow on the road was creaking.

When the car drove up, he opened the door and complained, "This place is too hard to find!" ”

"It's snowing too much." Tenth Elder Brother said, "This year is stronger than in previous years, and Ninth Brother is still worried that you are going the wrong way." ”

"I did go the wrong way." Julia jumped out of the car and rolled her eyes at Yinzhen, "Your fourth brother almost drove the car out of the border." ”

Brother Ten laughed.

Yin Zhen was a little embarrassed: "These countries in Europe are all connected together, and the territory is small, can you blame me!" Usually drive this little road, I didn't even drive out of Chaoyang District! ”

Brother Ten and Julia opened the trunk of the car and took out a large box of gifts from inside.

"How do you buy so many things?"

"Christmas. You can't always come empty-handed. Is Andre there? ”

"Yes, everybody's here."

Entering the house, the heating came to his face, Yinzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, he drove the car for so long a long time, and on the road, because of whether he was intuitive or listening to GPS, he also had an argument with Julia, of course, in the end, with his imperial wisdom, he narrowly missed the car out of the border.

A little blonde boy ran over and stared at Yinzhen, and Brother Ten smiled: "This is Hans, the child of Andre's friend." ”

This is the residence of a good friend of Andre, that person is also familiar with the eighth elder brother, recently the tenth elder brother went abroad to hold an art exhibition, the eighth elder brother came with him, it happened that the ninth elder brother had annual leave, so a group of people discussed, gathered here, and spent this year's Christmas together.

Yinzhen also uses annual leave, and he always wants to retire, but Brother Jiu does not allow him to retire, because Brother Eight suddenly resigned a few years ago, which annoyed Brother Jiu for a while.

The reason for the eighth elder brother is that he is not suitable for the company's work, and he always shouted to resign before, he always said that the most painful thing in life is to go to work, and what is more painful than going to work is overtime, and what is more painful than working overtime is that the boss is his younger brother.

Brother Nine thought he was talking about playing, but he couldn't be appeased, so he said, "Give you a raise", and later he couldn't even keep Brother Eight with a salary increase, so Brother Nine simply said angrily: "Then you go!" Don't think I can't find someone! ”

The eighth elder brother immediately resigned from his post and went out for a few years, and then simply became an agent for the tenth elder brother, helping him deal with the relationship with the gallery, and also responsible for holding art exhibitions and the like, because the tenth elder brother is now quite a famous painter.

Eighth brother doesn't like to go to work, as soon as he goes to work, he feels miserable, he said that he has never been in the company since he was young, and he has not lived a 9-to-5 life, not to mention that the ninth elder brother uses him as a strong man, not to mention that it is not only five in the evening, but often he can leave at ten o'clock in the evening. Brother Nine said that Brother Eight said this as if he was born to work in the company.

However, Bafujin has been working diligently in the company, and Brother Jiu has a good eye and picks up a big baby. At present, Ba Fu Jin is the director of the public relations department, and Ba Elder Brother said that he has contributed a workaholic anyway, and he has the right not to go to work.

The eighth elder brother ran away, and Yinzhen also pondered and wanted to slip away, but the ninth elder brother said that after he came over, including the treatment fee, including Andre's cost of removing the zombie virus on his body, Yinzhen owed a lot of money to the company and the research institute.

"You can give me an honest job in the company for the rest of your life!" Brother Nine said viciously.

When Yinzhen just came over, his body was very weak and his mood was not very stable, it was Brother Jiu who said, don't stay at home, the more depressed you are, the more you have to go to work quickly, and only by going to work can you treat depression.

Brother Jiu's "fallacy and heresy" is well-known in the company, and the so-called evil saying of "going to work to cure all diseases" came from him.

Yinzhen had no choice, so he had to enter the company the next day after he was discharged from the hospital, Brother Jiu's theory was verified in his place, Yinzhen was busy for a long time, and his mood recovered, and the position of the director of the group office given by Brother Jiu was very suitable for Yinzhen, but in five years, Yinzhen became one of the indispensable pillars of the company.

When the group entered the house, the little boy Hans jumped up and ran upstairs to "report", and after a while, André and Brother Nine came out of the house, followed by Brother Nine was Sjepan.

As soon as he saw Yinzhen, he said, "Long live the lord." ”

Yin Zhen immediately pointed at him: "Don't kneel!" ”

Sjepan smiled, "Yes." ”

Sjepan has been following Brother Jiu after coming over, he works as an assistant in the president's office, I don't know if the old habits can't be changed or the psychology has formed a stereotype, every time he sees Yinzhen, there is always the urge to bow three times and knock nine times, sometimes he meets him in the company and calls him a thousand children, which makes Yinzhen more embarrassing than him.

He knew that Sjepan had been thinking about him for the past ten years, and at the last moment, if Andre hadn't found a way to carve out a narrow path in the time and space tunnel to rescue Yinzhen from the brink of death, Sjepan might have to rush to the Qing Dynasty single-handedly. (.la $>>> cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

Si Jie Pan himself did not feel embarrassed at all, he always believed in the Qing Dynasty in his heart, and did not change his mind because of the change of each other's identities, because after many years by Brother Jiu's side, in fact, his status in the company was higher than that of Yinzhen in the first two years.

Another person who shares Sjepan's adherence to the Qing way of thinking is Xuan Jiahui.

She has suffered a huge fright since she was brought to modern society by Yinxiang, but fortunately, Ba Fu Jin has also suffered the same fright before, and she knows how to deal with this fright, so during that time, Ba Fu Jin used her own experience to convince Xuan Jiahui and help her slowly adapt to the changed life.

Although Xuan Jiahui's mood stabilized, she never admitted that she was a modern person, she decided that she was just a little girl picked up by Prince and Princess Yi, so she still abided by the old rules in the palace for Yinxiang, and maintained the same etiquette for Yinzhen and others.

Yinxiang had no choice but to go with her after trying to correct her many times to no avail. Unexpectedly, Si Jiepan regarded Xuan Jiahui as a confidant, because she was the only one who still took the Qing Dynasty seriously, when everyone had a party, if someone dared to trespass, for example, the tenth elder brother dared to pick up the cake and eat it in his mouth before Yinzhen, the two of them would cast contemptuous glances together, and their mouths were broken: "It's too unruly!" "Forced Brother Ten to hide aside.

Everyone thinks it's funny, the authentic Qing Dynasty people have long been indifferent, these two are obviously not from the Qing Dynasty, but they keep the rules so strictly.

When Yinxiang just came over, he was also at a loss for a while, but inspired by the saying of Brother Jiu's "going to work cures all diseases", he put himself into work as quickly as possible, and later he jumped two departments in the company, and now he is stable in the overseas trade department. Jiahui didn't come to the company, she initially thought that her task was to take care of the prince on behalf of Prince Yi, so she only needed to take care of Yinxiang's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Yinxiang felt very sorry for Jiahui, he always felt that he couldn't stand Jiahui, so after coming over, he returned to the state of "filial piety to his boyfriend" in the early days. At that time, the two of them had just come over, and the house was rented by Julia, and then Yinxiang decided to buy a house, he worked hard alone, and had to pay off the mortgage, in fact, it was very stressful, and he was very stubborn, and he didn't allow his brothers to help, Jiahui felt very uneasy, especially, when she saw that even Bafujin went to work, she was deeply surprised and ashamed, look, the dignified Prince Lian had to work in the wind and rain, she followed Prince Yi over, and she was all happy.

Jiahui thought about it and decided that she had to support herself and couldn't rely on Yinxiang alone. But the ones she knew when she was young have long been forgotten after brainwashing, and it is difficult to pick up foreign languages. Jiahui thought about it at home for several days, and suddenly found that she actually had a unique skill, that is, the female celebrity she learned in the palace.

Jiahui was originally not a female celebrity, and she had to make up for a long time to make up a sock at the beginning, but Thirteen Fujin was very good to her at that time, and always encouraged her to develop in this direction.

After following Yinxiang over, Jiahui actually didn't break the needlework, she was in a grateful mood, and made clothes and shoes for the Beatitude Jin who accompanied her, although the Beatitude had already changed to wear leather shoes, but after taking her needlework back, she has been full of praise.

Brother Ten inadvertently said, Jiahui, why don't you open a Taobao store?

This sentence lit up Jiahui's skill points.

Her Taobao store only had one or two orders at the beginning, and now, there are two crowns, because it is purely handmade, Jiahui's female celebrity is very popular, and she didn't expect that she could live with the skills she learned in the Qing Dynasty, and she lived very well.

Jiahui is not only excellent in handiwork, but also popular among the women, she has been in the palace for so many years, following the Thirteen Fujin, to see how she treats people, and she also learns, one and the other, the squeamishness that was cultivated at home in the early years has been worn out a lot, and then the Thirteen Fujin has taken her as her own confidant, and everything in the house is handed over to her, so after exercising, she can almost be alone, although the Thirteen Fujin is not the kind of person Wang Xifeng, but Jiahui's position is almost comparable to Ping'er.

After she followed Yinxiang over, she saw that Julia was alone with Fuhui, and her life was hard, so she took the initiative to take Fuhui to take care of her. So apart from Julia, Fuhui and Jiahui are the closest. Yinxiang felt sorry for Fuhui who left his parents since he was a child and lived alone outside, so they doted on him very much, especially Jiahui, who didn't bring his own children, so they put all their maternal love on Fuhui.

Yinzhen's two children, Hongshi has been following Eighth Brother and Eight Fujin, and Fuhui has followed Yinxiang and Jiahui, and when he followed Eighth Brother and them, he found that the two children had already taken root in this world without their father's presence.

During Yinzhen's hospitalization, Hongshi once came to see him. I haven't seen him for ten years, and the boy who was weak and dying in the past has become a young man, and Hiroshi still looks thin and pale, with a lingering melancholy in his temperament. At that meeting, he said very little, and when he stepped forward and shouted Huang Ama, he didn't seem to know what to say.

is just a short side, Yinzhen has already understood in his heart that his son still has a knot. He has already obtained all the information from the eighth elder brother, maybe he also has guilt for Yinzhen, or maybe he also has a grievance, it is because the father and son met in the next life, Hongshi can't think of anything to say to Yinzhen.

Later, he didn't come to the hospital again, and the eighth elder brother told Yinzhen that Hongshi was preparing for the international competition.

He still plays the violin, and after he came out of the conservatory, he wrote music, worked as a music editor, and worked in a record company, but he never gave up on the violin. He didn't mention himself to Yinzhen, every time he called, it was just a simple greeting, and he rarely even appeared in front of Yinzhen, and Yinzhen had to get his son's information from the eighth elder brother.

During family gatherings, Hiroshi occasionally appears in front of everyone.

He is still unsociable, with the hateful solitude of the artist who can't get rid of his bones, he is even more difficult to approach than Brother Shi. The young man with shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a cardigan and black sweater, a tall and thin one, sat alone in the corner, either drinking a drink or bowing his head to play with his mobile phone, until everyone turned their eyes to him, and then he looked up inexplicably.

"What are you looking at me for? You play yours. ”

Sometimes, he will leave early, and there is no reason, he just says that he is tired and wants to go back to sleep. It seems that he has been reluctant to come this way. No one blames Hongshi, Yinzhen is angry, and Julia always advises him not to be angry.

When Hongshi left, Yinzhen said sullenly: "Where is he like my son?" I don't think he's like anyone. ”

Everyone was silent.

Only Brother Jiu said: "Hongshi's temperament is very similar to Huang Ama, he is always alone, he can't participate in any excitement, everyone is always in front of him, and he will always be detained." ”

Jiahui said: "It's good that he came, he couldn't have come, even if we completely cut off contact, what can we do with him?" But he didn't. This shows that Hongshi still has us in his heart. ”

Yin Zhen felt that Jiahui's statement was just because she was empathetic.

Hiroshi rarely talks to him alone, making phone calls during the New Year's holidays, or video chatting, all when Julia and Fukue are present. Sometimes Yinzhen couldn't think about it, so he took the initiative to call him, and the father and son just finished talking about the recent situation and had nothing to talk about. He also doesn't like others to go to his residence, once Fuhui secretly took Yinzhen over, Yinzhen couldn't help it, and cleaned up his son's dogkennel-like messy house, but Hongshi knew, he sent his brother a fire, saying that Yinzhen cleaned up for him so that he couldn't find anything, it was obviously a superfluous move, and he also threatened to take back the key and never give Fuhui again.

Hongshi only talked to the eighth elder brother a lot, he felt that the eighth elder brother could understand him better, as for his father, he almost ignored him before, and when he came over later, he became an old man who only knew how to go to work every day, and Hongshi felt that he and his father could not talk about Taoism.

The eighth elder brother persuaded him: "You should talk to you Amado." ”

"What do I say to him?" Hiroshi was a little helpless, "Do you want to talk to him about MIDI?" He doesn't understand those. ”

"Didn't you still lack money to make records before? Tell you Amma, and he'll give you the money. ”

Hiroshi rolled his eyes: "Am I so unproductive?" I can earn the money myself, and besides, Amma's little money has to be saved for Fuhui to go to college, he is as poor as anything...... The houses are all Julia's. ”

The eighth elder brother still asked tentatively: "Hongshi, are you still blaming you Ama for the matter of Hongli?" ”

Hiroshi shook his head: "No." ”

He suddenly smiled: "I'm much luckier than Hongli." ”

Eighth Brother laughed.

Hiroshi looked down at his fingers and suddenly said, "I'll talk about it when he asks me someday." ”

This sentence has made the eighth elder brother amused for a long time, why did Hongshi say that? Does he have to wait until his father asks him for help before he is willing to put down the shelf and communicate with Yinzhen?

Yinzhen has indeed become much poorer now than before, because he is the only one who is still raising minors. Fuhui didn't take the college entrance examination until the New Year, and there are still a lot of places to use money in the future.

…… In the end, the poorest became him, the emperor.

I knew that it would be good to bring some gold here, Yinzhen regretted it more than once.

Everyone came into the house, sat down to greet each other, and the host was very polite and made hot tea for them to drink. The eighth elder brother asked why he didn't bring Fuhui with him.

Yin Zhen said, don't mention it, before leaving, I will make a lawsuit for this.

Fuhui also wanted to follow, but Yinzhen didn't allow it, there were still a few months to take the college entrance examination, he felt that the child should prepare for the exam at home, and Yinzhen himself was a little selfish in it, he wanted to travel alone with Julia, and he didn't want to follow a child by his side.

Fuhui is not happy, he must follow, and even said that he will follow even if he misses class. Yinzhen was very angry and counted the children behind, but Fuhui ran away from home that night, Yinzhen and Julia looked for a night, and finally Fuhui appeared at the door of Yinxiang's house in the early hours of the morning.

Yin Zhen was really popular this time, he simply told his son to let him stay at Uncle Thirteen's house and don't come back. He just went out with Julia, and the father and son are still frozen.

On the way, Julia and Yinzhen also had a dispute over Fuhui's affairs, Julia blamed him for being too strict, and Yinzhen thought that Julia and Jiahui had spoiled the child, and everything depended on him, so the child would never grow up.

Fuhui was very happy when Yinzhen had just come over, and his father, who had been looking forward to it for so many years, finally returned safely. But it didn't take long for the boy to be disappointed to find out that his father didn't intend to spoil him wholeheartedly. He is the youngest in this group, Hongshi Honghui and Brother Shi's sister Butterfly are all adults, and he is the only one in his generation who is a child, and everyone sees that he is a child, and they all let him. As a result, after his father came over, not only was he not used to him, but he set rules for him everywhere.

The eighth elder brother laughed vigorously when he heard Yinzhen's complaints, and he said that if Yinzhen thought Fuhui was annoying, he would simply give Fuhui to him, anyway, he had nothing to do recently.

"Got one for you and want a second one?" Yin Zhen glared at him, "You don't call it a help to dismantle the stage!" ”

"When spring begins, we'll all go back, and it'll be fine." Eighth Elder Brother comforted him, "Fuhui is still young, and he wants someone to watch it." ”

"It's about to take the college entrance examination, is this still small?" After Yinzhen finished speaking, he looked at Brother Jiu again, "Not everyone can raise a child like Hongxi." ”

The eighth elder brother heard the envy in his tone, and he shook his head with a smile: "The troubles of the ninth brother, you can't understand the fourth brother." ”

No wonder Yinzhen is envious, because Honghui has always been the most outstanding one in the eyes of the elders, according to Sister Die'er's words, Hongzhen is what everyone often calls "someone else's child".

In the coming year, Honghui was admitted to the university, because the foundation is relatively weak, Honghui is very hard-working, the whole four years of college are spent in the library, his student life is very frugal, Honghui feels that his father for him to study, so that he does not have to work like other classmates, this is already a great luck. His only "luxury" activity is to run home on the weekend, let Brother Jiu take him to the restaurant, have a beautiful meal, and then "go back to school" with a round belly. Brother Jiu even suspected that if he didn't provide this "nutritious meal", his son, who was stupid at school, would make himself malnourished.

Brother Jiu said to his son, our family is rich, "You Ama have been rich since the Qing Dynasty!" You can't spend a penny! But Honghui always said that he didn't have much money. His material desire is very low, unlike Fu Hui who shouts all day long to buy this and buy that, everyone praises Hongyan for being a good boy, but Brother Jiu doesn't think it's a good thing.

"If the material desire is too low, it can only show that he is not interested in the world. This is different from having no money so he can only suppress his desires, he is worse than Fuhui. ”

In Brother Jiu's opinion, it is normal to grind for half a month for a new mobile phone and Yinzhen, and he is too lazy to spend money when Hongzhen gives him money, he is only interested in books, there must be something wrong. Hongyan is like this, but there is a bit of the taste of Sjiepan's early years in the research institute, is it because his son has been too close to Sjiepan in the past ten years?

Brother Jiu is not interested in and disagrees with the things that his son is tinkering with, he always thinks that his son should not only deal with books, he should deal with people, and deal with society, it is best to be like himself, have a more complex social circle, he doesn't like his son to live so monotonously, stay in a small campus all year round, the dormitory library is two points and one line, and he knows less than ten people in total, how can this life be healthy?

So at the beginning, Honghui also told him about himself, but it was all in the field of research, the paper won an award, or the paper was not written well, and the tutor circled the red circle and rewrote it...... Brother Jiu had never written a paper in his life, and he was confused when he heard it, so he said, since writing a paper is so painful, just stop writing it and come to work in the company.

Just because he had this attitude, Honghui didn't talk to him later, and went to Schipan instead, because Sjiepan understood this, let alone said, "The Excellence Award is only a thousand yuan?" Your Amma's lunch is enough for you to write a half-year paper, so you might as well come to work."

"Go to work, I'll know how to go to work." "But I hate the atmosphere of the company, and I just want to stay in school." ”

"What's so bad about going to work?" Si Jie Pan was upset for Brother Jiu, "This world will always need more people to participate in the normal operation, like you, who will pay taxes?" ”

Honghui complained: "Anyway, you are the most partial to me Amma." But I am from the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty people naturally don't like to go to work. ”

"Even Banzai is at work." Si Jie Pan said, "You Ama is also from the Qing Dynasty. ”

Honghui rolled his eyes: "Okay, even the Qing Dynasty people are divided into two kinds, one loves to go to work and the other hates to work." Prince Lian and I are the latter, and we are Qing Dynasty people who hate going to work. ”

He laughed as he spoke.

After going back and forth, the ninth elder brother found that his son didn't come to look for him anymore, and he felt that this must be the result of being close to ink.

"Giving birth to a son is actually like Sjepan, I must have done evil in my last life!" Brother Jiu said sadly, "But even if it's Sjepan, it's not like that now!" This kid, who is not good at learning, why should he learn from him? ”

The eighth elder brother laughed at him for being worried, everyone thinks that Hongyang is a very good child, sensible and motivated, and can control the direction of his life. After graduating from university, Honghui went to graduate school, he chose educational psychology, graduated from the third year of graduate school, Honghui found a remote school as a volunteer teacher for two years, and then resigned to continue his doctoral studies.

Each of his choices is decided by himself, at most he will talk to Brother Jiu afterwards, Brother Jiu has a lot of opinions on this, he is not interested in the field of educational psychology, and he feels that it is meaningless for Honghui to go to teach for two years, but Honghui obviously does not need him to give opinions or evaluations, and he doesn't even ask Brother Jiu for money.

Brother Jiu, who couldn't get his hands on it, had to swallow back his words - in the early years, he also planned to let Hongyu study in a related major, and then enter the company to help him, but now Brother Jiu doesn't dare to think about this at all.

What bothers Brother Jiu even more is that Honghui is almost thirty years old, and he has neither a girlfriend nor a boyfriend, and he is now single.

As soon as he talked to Honghui about this, Honghui laughed at him for worrying about it, and when he asked more, he simply said, "Amma, do you want to come out?" Come to me for a vaccination? "So angry that Brother Jiu wanted to slap him.

"He's probably going to have to go on like this for the rest of his life." The ninth elder brother later said to the eighth elder brother, "There is a problem with this child, it is definitely not possible to get married, and it is impossible to fall in love." It's better to be in the Qing Dynasty, if it was before, I would have to stuff him with a family affair. ”

The eighth elder brother couldn't laugh at his younger brother, because the ninth elder brother was really worried about this matter. Later, he asked Brother Jiu what he planned to do.

"What else can I do?" Brother Jiu sighed, "I want to make money desperately, I have to make enough money for Hongyang's pension." He doesn't look like he can make money, and the little salary he gets in the academy is at best enough to make ends meet, and I can't watch my son become a sloppy old man in the future. ”

The eighth elder brother wanted to laugh in his heart, but he was very sympathetic to the ninth elder brother.

"Starling, you say, could this be my fault?" Brother Jiu said, "It was I who gave up on him in those ten years, so I raised Hongyan badly?" ”

"Again, nonsense." Eighth Elder Brother glared at him, "Don't take any fault on your head!" Even if Honghui makes such a choice, as long as he lives happily, what can't he do? ”

Brother Jiu was at a loss, he was proud of this son for so many years ago, and felt that no child's child could compare to his own Hongyan, in the end, he didn't expect this kid to be waiting for him here.

The eighth elder brother is not as pessimistic as the ninth elder brother thinks, he feels that this matter depends on fate, and Hongxi's fate has not yet arrived, so he can't help it. Besides, even if it is Brother Jiu himself, isn't it true that people have found a home emotionally until they are middle-aged?

The sudden move of Sjepan to Brother Jiu's residence caused a silent uproar in a small crowd. Everyone was curious, but no one dared to ask the two parties.

In the end, it was the eighth elder brother who asked tentatively.

The reason given by Brother Nine was that Schipan liked his cat and he wanted to take the cat away, but the cat didn't like Schipan's apartment and ran out repeatedly, so Schipan had to send the cat back, but he was reluctant to part with the cat, and finally agreed to simply move over and live with Brother Nine.

No one believes this explanation.

It was a very cute mandarin duck-eyed white cat, which was picked up by Sjepan under the company building. At that time, he handed it over to Brother Jiu, and Brother Jiu took it home to raise, and during that time, Honghui was at home during the holidays, and the father and son took raising cats as a top priority.

Later, Honghui went to school, and Brother Jiu was occasionally not at home, so he asked Sijiepan to come over and take care of the cat. Sjepan, who came and went, also fell in love with the cat, so there was the move that Brother Jiu said just now.

The eighth elder brother thought that this was all an excuse, and he was even more curious, so he asked Hongyan about it.

When Hongyan heard this, he became excited: "Really? Are you sure! Is my dad coming out? That's great! ”

“……”

"Oh my God, I can't stand him alone, okay, whether it's coming out or marrying again, that's a good thing! Of course, if it's Sjepan, it's even better, my own acquaintances are better than the ones who come back from outside, and I don't have to call Auntie to a strange woman, right? ”

The eighth elder brother put down the phone, and he felt that his nephew's brain circuit was not on the same level as him.

Therefore, no one knows what is going on between Si Jie Pan and Brother Jiu, so Yinzhen said that as long as Lao Jiu does not come out of the closet for a day, everyone will continue to default to them as "just friends".

It's just that these two men who are "just friends" seem to be a little too good, for example, at noon, Sjepan will make a bento for two people and bring it to the company, and it looks exactly the same. For example, Brother Jiu worked hard to buy clothes, shoes, and various luxury goods for Sjepan, and even bought a Lotus sports car as a birthday gift for Sjepan last year - even Hongyan has never had such a luxurious treatment!

Regarding the strange gazes of the brothers, Brother Jiu's argument is that because of Sjepan's great contribution to the company, this is his personal reward.

…… Still no one believes.

The ten elder brothers were all happy: "Anyway, he just won't admit it!" ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "Forget it, since he won't admit it to death, let's not ask again." ”

Yinzhen said: "Maybe it's not that he doesn't admit it, but it's really as he said." ”

Julia nodded, "They're not in that relationship. ”

Everyone asks why.

"Have you ever seen them behave in the company?" Julia asked, "Never, right?" Hands won't touch together - if it's a lover, how can you bear it? ”

Everyone thinks Julia has a point. Julia smirked, "It's called a woman's intuition." ”

But Xuan Jiahui felt that the two were ambiguous.

"They don't have ambiguities in the company, just because they are too measured and know that a moment of indulgence can bring trouble to themselves and everyone. Could it be that the eighth master and Grandma Fujin were holding hands in the company every day? Jiahui said, "They must have an affair." I'm also a woman's intuition. ”

After she finished speaking, she added: "This is my rotten girl's intuition." ”

The remaining two women, Ba Fu Jin thinks that Brother Jiu is straight, because she often deals with those two people in the company, and after so many years of getting along, she can't feel anything wrong.

But Brother Ten's sister Die said that the two must have rolled over the sheets, and she put forward a strong evidence that a few years ago, Brother Nine had surgery because of a benign tumor, and the person who signed the operation sheet was Si Jiepan.

"There are so many brothers, he doesn't look for any of them, and Honghui didn't call him back from school, so he asked Sjepan to sign." Sister Die said, "Sign the operation sheet!" Do you know what that means?! This is the rights that comrades around the world have fought for for a century! ”

All the men were confused by the four women.

Everyone agrees that even a woman's intuition seems to be unreliable.

Before dinner, the eighth elder brother took out a CD from his bag and handed it to Yinzhen.

"Hiroshi is out on a record."

Yin Zhen took it and took a look, indeed, it was a violin record, and the cover was his son Hongshi.

He still had his brown half-long hair, and his dark red violin rested on Hiroshi's shoulder. In the camera, the young man did not smile, and his expression was still full of melancholy. He didn't look at the camera, but at his violin, a shadow falling from his long eyelashes.

The CD is all in English, with Hirotoki's name, Francis.

Except for a few of them, no one knows who Hiroshi is, and he has always used his English name to the outside world, and many people think that Hiroshi is Andre's adopted son, because on his identity certificate, he has the same surname as Andre: Francis. Eastland.

Yin Zhen stared at the CD in his hand for a long time, he didn't expect Hongshi to really release a record - and he still learned the news from the eighth elder brother.

Before this, Hongshi hadn't even called him once.

The eighth elder brother saw that he was in a complicated mood, so he comforted: "This kid has always been quiet, and it was only after the record was released that he mentioned it to me very simply, and I only knew." ”

Yin Zhen smiled hard: "No matter what, it's a good thing." ”

Brother Ten said: "So in this respect, Hongshi is indeed more like the son of the fourth brother, and he finally retains some of his artistic talent." ”

The eighth elder brother smiled and said, "Huh? Didn't Sister Die inherit your artistic talent? ”

Brother Ten suddenly said with a straight face: "I don't have her daughter!" ”

The reason why Brother Ten is so angry is actually because of Sister Die'er's marriage.

After being brought over by her father, Sister Die'er adapted quickly, and it didn't take long for her to show the same talent for painting as her father. But Sister Die chose a different path from her father, she preferred to apply her creation to real life, so she later specialized in interior design.

Now Sister Die works in a small interior decoration studio, and she doesn't make much money, but Sister Die lives comfortably. In terms of work, Brother Ten didn't have too much evaluation, the child could go whatever way he wanted, he didn't think that his daughter had to take the road of pure art.

He was angry that Sister Die'er's two failed marriages, by the way, plus the Qing Dynasty, there were already three failed marriages.

Sister Die got married less than a year after she came, and her husband was a classmate she met when she was a student. At that time, everyone was very happy, thinking that this showed that Sister Die'er was not affected by the failure of her first marriage.

However, after two years of marriage, Sister Die'er divorced, and when Brother Ten asked her why, she said, "There is no passion at the beginning."

Well, after all, it is the daughter's own choice, and it is inconvenient for Brother Ten to say anything, a year later, Sister Die'er got married again, this time it was a young talent in the company she met through Brother Jiu, everyone thought, this time it was a candidate introduced by the elders, it should be no problem.

As a result, it didn't take long for Sister Die'er to divorce again.

Brother Ten went crazy, he said what's wrong with you? What's wrong with people this time?

Sister Die said melancholy that there is nothing wrong with her husband, but she is not suitable for married life.

Brother Ten scolded her, she didn't take marriage too seriously, and she got married and divorced so often, it was like child's play.

Sister Die'er retorted that it was because she was too serious, so when she was not satisfied with her marriage, she immediately chose to divorce, which was a manifestation of her respect for the true meaning of marriage.

Brother Ten was so angry that he didn't want to take care of his daughter anymore.

Later, Brother Ten said that in the future, Sister Die's children will marry as many times as they like, but don't bring her husband to him, "A daughter, a son-in-law!" How glorious I am! ”

The other elders were noncommittal about this, they already understood that marriage was a private matter, and it was not their turn to interject in the evaluation.

It's just that Yinzhen feels very sorry for the two red envelopes he sent.

He decided that no matter how many times Sister Die'er got married in the future, he would no longer give red envelopes.

For dinner that day, everyone sat around a table, the host was very hospitable, and a long table filled with a combination of Chinese and Western dishes, it was a Christmas of laughter and laughter, with snow outside the window and indistinct Christmas carols could be heard in the distance.

During the banquet, little Hans ran to Yinzhen and suddenly asked, "Sir, are you Santa Claus?" ”

Yin Zhen laughed: "Why do you ask that?" ”

"I see you bring a lot of presents, so aren't you Santa Claus?"

The eighth brother said, "No, Hans, he is my brother, he is not Santa Claus. ”

Hans was a little disappointed: "Is there any Santa Claus in the world?" ”

The adults looked at each other.

"Yes, Hans." Yin Zhen said very seriously, "He just doesn't like to show up." ”

"Why?"

"Just like those big stars, once they show up, I'm afraid it will cause a riot."

The rest laughed.

Hans thought for a moment, "That's right. So sir, have you ever seen Santa Claus? ”

Yin Zhen shook his head: "No, I haven't seen it." ”

"Did you ever receive a gift from Santa Claus when you were a kid?"

Yin Zhen laughed: "No." Hans, I was ...... when I was a child."

He looked at the eight elder brothers: "When I was a child, I lived in a far, far away place, and Santa Claus couldn't find me. ”

Hans said solemnly: "Then your childhood is so miserable! ”

The rest of the crowd burst into laughter.

Yin Zhen didn't smile, he thought for a while: "You're right, Hans, it's really too tragic to have a childhood without Santa Claus." But luckily, you see, now that I'm able to receive Santa's present, it's not too late for happiness to come. ”

Eighth Elder Brother suddenly said, "I want to write a book." ”

And they looked at him.

"Just write our story." The eighth elder brother looked at everyone, and he smiled, "Write ourselves, and write it by our name." ”

"No one will believe it." Brother Ten said, he laughed, "Readers will think of it as a fantasy story." ”

"That's okay." The eighth brother looked at little Hans, he reached out and touched Hans's brain, "Hans has never met Santa Claus, and he hasn't even spoken to him, but he believes that Santa Claus exists." There are some things that don't have to be proven. ”

Yinzhen said: "Write, you can." Don't write me too badly. ”

Laugh.

"Don't make me too stupid." Brother Ten said.

"Don't write me too cunningly." Brother Jiu also said, "Especially, don't write me as a short-sighted money string." ”

"Don't write too tragically." André raised his glass, "We have to write a happy story." ”

Eighth Elder Brother thought about it very carefully: "It's a bit difficult. To overturn the stereotype, the book will be long, long. ”

Julia sighed, "It seems that there is no me in this book. ”

Eighth Elder Brother laughed: "No, if it weren't for you, this book wouldn't be established, and no one wants to read the story before you appeared." ”

Yes, if there is no Julia, then everything will stay in the past, Yinzhen suddenly thought, his life will be repeated in the old over and over again, and no new sparks will burst out.

Everyone seemed to be fascinated by Brother Ba's proposal, and the rest of the day was spent discussing this matter, and they almost forgot to eat.

At night, Yinzhen sat in the wide chair in the living room, he looked out the window at the snowy night, happy and a little troubled.

"What are you thinking?" Julia asked.

"I'm thinking...... Isn't it time to give Fuhui a call? Yin Zhen smiled, "And, will Hongshi call me tonight?" ”

Julia laughed, "Speaking of which, I still can't let go of this little bit of concern." ”

Yin Zhen nodded.

"Even so, I think I'm very happy now. Annoyance, there will always be a point, everyone is like this, the past, the part that is difficult to change, and the part that seems unlikely to change in the future...... I have a lot of remorse, for my children, for myself, and for you. But despite this, I was content. ”

He looked up, Brother Nine and Schipan were sitting opposite each other near the fireplace, talking and laughing about something, and Brother Eight was lying on his desk, he had already begun to think about his so-called masterpiece. Brother Ten is teaching little Hans to draw, a chubby dinosaur, and a family of dinosaurs......

All the people are in sight, they have their place, and they are all safe and well.

This kind of life is very good, Yinzhen thought.

He picked up the hot coffee in his hand and took a sip.
