That night, Brother Jiu hesitated for a long time before telling Sjepan that he had to go to the court tomorrow and he had to see Kangxi.

He wrote these words in the palm of Sjepan's palm, and after a while, he saw that Sjepan nodded slightly.

Brother Jiu was relieved at this time, he thought about it, and wrote: "Before 12 noon, I will be back." ”

But Sjepan said that there was no need to rush home, he could do it alone.

Then he slowly wrote: "It's okay, I have Pu/Jing." ”

Brother Jiu sneered.

The litter of cats he brought back from modern society, the female cat Hermione may have developed the habit of outdoor activities because she lives on the street all year round, and most of the time she spends most of her time outdoors except for eating and sleeping and coming back to Wu Seventeen.

The same goes for several of Hermione's children.

There was only one cat that didn't want to go out and stayed in the house all day, and that cat was Pu/Jing left by the last Sjepan.

Before the male cat Pu/Jing left modern society, he had already been sterilized by Brother Jiu. It may also be because of this that it has gained some weight and become bulky, so it is not very keen to go out to hunt birds, go to the house and trees, and prefer to stay in the house, lying on the bed or desk. Especially like to be tired of being with people, if you touch its head, it will be more and more happy, rubbing with you, after all, it is a domestic cat that grew up with people.

After Sjepan's arrival, Pu/Jing seemed to have found a favorite object to rely on, and he often accompanied him in his study and slept next to him. Sjepan liked it too, and always held it in his arms and talked to it.

Every time he saw this scene, Brother Jiu felt that there was a providence in the dark.

The next day, before Brother Jiu went out, he arranged everything properly, but when he left, he was still a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he simply brought his son Honghui over.

He told Honghui that Ama was going to enter the palace to see the emperor's grandfather today, and he would not be able to come back until around noon.

"During this time, you've often gone to see Sjepan, understand?" Brother Jiu said, "You don't have to do anything deliberately, just let him know that you are by his side, and that's it." He was alone in that room, unable to hear or see, and his heart was afraid. ”

Honghui nodded and said seriously: "Don't worry, Amma, I know how to do it." ”

With a stomach full of thoughts, Brother Jiu got into the sedan chair, and secretly prayed in his heart that Kangxi would not make any tirade today to delay him going home.

When they arrived at the courtroom, Yinzhen and the others were quite surprised when they saw him coming, and asked him if it didn't matter if he left Si Jie Pan alone at home. Brother Jiu said, it doesn't matter.

"He's more or less used to it in the past two days, and he's not as scared as he just got home. I told him to go back at noon. Half a day, he should be able to persevere. ”

The tenth elder brother said loudly: "So I said earlier, Brother Jiu, you have to let go, and you have to let him get used to the feeling that there is no one around." Otherwise, the more carefully you take care of him, the less daring he will be. If you really can't do it, I'll give you the killing pill, and you can train it to be a guide dog, so that it can help Sjepan - people must learn to be strong! Learn to be independent! ”

Brother Jiu glanced at him: "Now you are running to say such hard words again!" Didn't you lie on the couch yourself in the early years and refused to go downstairs? You weren't blind or deaf back then, were you?! ”

Brother Ten was suddenly embarrassed, and he said depressedly: "Anyway, you are eccentric Sijiepan." ”

The eighth elder brother hurriedly poked the tenth elder brother and told him to pay attention to the environment.

On the same day, the process was very smooth, Kangxi saw that Brother Jiu finally appeared, and he was full of unhappiness, but he had to temporarily suppress it at the moment. Fortunately, in the court, he asked Brother Jiu some things, and Brother Jiu also answered in an orderly manner, which shows that he still takes official affairs to heart.

It was easy to retreat from the court, and the ninth elder brother hurriedly said hello to the eighth elder brother and them, and ran outside the palace.

When he got home, he didn't bother to change his court clothes, so Brother Jiu went to the study first.

Wu Qiqi was waiting at the door of the study, and Brother Jiu asked repeatedly, "How is it?" ”

Wu Qiqi smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, everything is fine." ”

When he came in again, Brother Jiu himself laughed.

I saw Sjepan sitting cross-legged on the bed, the cat Pu/Jing snoring beside him, a thousand-character text thrown at the head of the bed, and a little child curled up, lying on his lap, sleeping soundly.

When I walked over to see it, it was Honghui.

Sensing that Brother Nine came in, Sjepan made a "shhh

Brother Nine walked over lightly and sat down beside Sjepan.

He saw Sjepan with his head down, staring at Honghui as if he could see it, and he stroked Honghui's soft hair, and there was neither pain nor despair in his expression, but there was a rare serenity and softness.

Later, Brother Jiu thought that maybe he could let Schipan slowly integrate into his family and become a part of the family. He knew it looked weird, both in terms of status and relationship, Sjepan looked very awkward around him, but where could he go without this? What outsiders think, after all, it doesn't matter. Si Japan can't hear or see anyway, as long as Brother Jiu can balance these by himself, then it's no problem.

Fortunately, the grievances on Fujin's side were finally calmed down because of another incident: Brother Jiu ransomed Yingsleeve from Yichun Courtyard and married her off.

In this way, the five-year relationship between Brother Jiu and this woman has come to an end, and Fujin has always been worried that it will not happen if a woman from a prostitute breaks into his home.

She was very happy and relieved of her long-standing trouble, because according to the situation in the first few years, Brother Jiu seemed to have true feelings for that Ying Sleeve - for Fu Jin, this was more terrible than anything else.

In contrast, no matter who Stepan is, first of all, he is a man.

Brother Jiu even heard his wife say from others that she was not worried at all if Sjepan couldn't have a child anyway.

"Even if he can withstand the sky, he really gives birth to a boy and a girl, and he can't get past me in the end!"

At that moment, Brother Jiu suddenly had the idea of writing a theoretical monograph.

The title of the book is "On the Cultivation of Lonely Ghosts".

Although Sjepan can't have children, he seems to have a lot of intentions to treat Honghui as his own child. Because of Brother Jiu's instructions that day, in the future, when Brother Jiu goes out, Honghui will come to accompany Si Jiepan. He didn't have to do anything, just leaned on Sjepan's side, reading a book, or teasing the cat, or dismantling the Nine Rings, they couldn't talk a word, but the atmosphere was harmonious and quiet, and it was unbearable to disturb.

But what Sjepan is most willing to accompany is Brother Jiu, he is now inseparable by Brother Jiu's side, unless he goes out, otherwise, as long as he is at home, Brother Jiu will take him everywhere. He led Sjepan around, even if a guest visited, Sjepan would sit quietly in the corner of the front hall, no matter how long Brother Jiu talked with the guest, he waited patiently.

At first, this scene made many people feel weird, and some people muttered in their hearts why bother. But Sjepan was polite, he could not see or hear, but he was careful not to make a noise that interfered with the conversation between the host and the guest. When the guest said goodbye, Brother Jiu took his hand, and Sjepan would bow slightly in the direction of the guest's departure, looking very polite and polite.

Over time, everyone got used to seeing this blonde-haired, blind and deaf foreigner, always following Brother Jiu.

On a summer evening, after the ninth elder brother bathed and changed his clothes, he would let him sit in the courtyard, and he would take a jade comb and comb Si Jiepan's hair little by little.

His blonde hair grew long, pure gold with natural curls, strands of hair slid through the white jade comb, shining as mica in the reflection of the remnant sun. Brother Nine tied up Sjepan's hair, which looked very much like Alexandre Dumas's knight who made a living from romance.

"Alright, comb it up." Brother Jiu put down the comb and joked again, "I should change your clothes, the kind of shirt with white horseshoe sleeves." And then you can take a Western sword, go to the shores of the Black Sea, and duel someone before sunset, for a woman, a countess or something? Oh I forgot, on you, it probably has to be for a man, so it's for ...... Well, for the sake of a prince. ”

When he said this, Si Jiepan naturally couldn't hear it, but he leaned against Brother Jiu, tilted his head sideways, and raised his face, as if he was using the cells of his whole body to catch the slight movement of the air.

Like this, like raising a docile and clingy golden retriever dog, Brother Jiu suddenly thought, it's a pity that this golden retriever dog is deaf and blind, and he can't even bark.

Brother Jiu's recent "weird" behavior naturally fell into the eyes of his mother Concubine Yi, coupled with the news of the outside world, which made Concubine Yi very uneasy. Although she asked the fifth elder brother to come over and teach her younger brother a lesson, Concubine Yi was still not at ease, so one day, she asked her personal palace people to bring some things over to see the ninth elder brother, nominally, to send him the ginseng brought by the ninth elder brother's uncle from outside the customs.

Although his mother sent someone from the palace, Brother Jiu still led Sjepan to appear, and he was not taboo, he first placed Sjepan in the chair next to him, and then let those palace maids and eunuchs in.

The one who came was Bi Tao, who hid them on Concubine Yi's bed that day, and she was also Concubine Yi's confidant.

At this moment, she saw Si Jiepan sitting next to Brother Jiu, and she was surprised a lot, it turned out that what was rumored outside was not a lie.

After receiving the gift, Brother Jiu first thanked Concubine Yi and asked Concubine Yi about her current situation. Bi Tao said that Concubine Yi has been doing well recently, and it will soon be Concubine Yi's birthday, and the palace is busy.

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "E-Niang's good day, I have already remembered it, the birthday gifts are ready, and when the time comes, let Hongyang and a few of them go to kowtow to E-niang." ”

Bi Tao said with a smile: "Yi Zhu'er is waiting for that day." The fifth master and the ninth master went over with the children, and the master didn't know how happy he was. ”

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Sjepan intentionally or unintentionally, and then said slowly: "The master also asked, ...... this foreign master in the Ninth Master's Mansion?"

Brother Jiu suddenly understood, he looked at Si Jiepan and smiled: "Go back and tell my mother, don't listen to those tongue-chewing people outside, this person is in trouble, and he can only stay with me now." ”

Bi Tao was like that, she wanted to speak and stopped, thought for a long time, and just sighed softly. (To be continued.) )
