Julia's whereabouts have become a stalemate for the time being.

Yin Zhen couldn't go to the Eighth Elder Brother's Baylor Mansion to find her, and he couldn't ride a horse all day long and walk around other people's mansions. Yinzhen held back at home for several days, and finally went to beg the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother. He told Brother Ten that Julia was closest to him, and he went to talk to him, which might have an effect.

"I didn't ask her to marry immediately, as long as she didn't leave the capital." Yin Zhen said in a hoarse voice, "She doesn't know why she's angry with me now, but people can't always live by being angry, right?" Let's discuss and discuss again, can we succeed? ”

Brother Ten was caught in the middle, and he was also very embarrassed. But Yin Zhen deliberately carried people behind his back, came to his county king's mansion in person at night, and begged him for help in a low voice, he couldn't help but say a few words.

So Brother Ten had to persuade Julia again.

He said that she couldn't just leave, if she ran away like this, the capital would open the pot.

"Look at the two days that have made my fourth brother anxious, the corners of his mouth are all blistering, and his eyes are sunken. I can't eat or sleep, for fear that you will leave again without a sound. Brother Ten looked at her and begged again, "Julia, I know you don't like to listen, and I'm not speaking for my fourth brother, why can't you sit down and talk about it?" Just like my fourth brother said, he didn't force you to enter his palace tomorrow, let's all find a middle point and negotiate an acceptable solution, can it be successful? ”

Julia, on the other hand, kept her head down and kept silent.

Seeing her like this, Brother Ten was a little sad.

"You don't know, my fourth brother has become unrecognizable in the past two days. Yesterday on the court. He was like a piece of wood, he didn't say a word, his mind was not in the court at all, someone talked to him, greeted him, he didn't seem to hear it, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know where to look. Even when my emperor Ama asked him, he ignored him and became deaf. Huang Ama was angry. Raise your voice and ask him twice in a row, before he understood what the question was, and then answered three or four questions, and asked him two more words. He simply said that he couldn't take care of it. Tell me to ask the Emperor Ama what should be asked. Don't bother him. It really made my emperor Ama angry. Listen, where are the words of my fourth brother? All the officials and ministers are stupid! ”

When Brother Ten said this, he looked at Julia cautiously: "So you want to." If you leave the capital again, he will definitely not be able to stay for a second, so he will go to you. My fourth brother doesn't care about anything now, yesterday Huang Ama was angry like that, he was not afraid at all, he still had a blank face, an expression of not knowing three questions, and he was a revolutionary martyr. Julia, you refuse to see him, he is sad to death, he doesn't care about anyone, even if my emperor Ama is furious and pulls him out to beat him with a stick, believe it or not, he gets up and leaves after the beating, and he doesn't care about anyone. ”

When Julia heard this, she suddenly struggled and smiled: "So, I was wrong, I shouldn't have shown my face, I shouldn't have come to you." ”

Brother Ten was anxious: "How can you say that!" Julia, we've been together for three years! What hurdles haven't been overcome? What hardships haven't you suffered? We are different from others! You have a problem now, we can see it, but you still don't want us to help you, don't you want to break up with us, and completely throw our friendship aside! ”

Julia saw that his face was red with anger, and his voice was not right, so she hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that!" ”

"That's not what you mean, don't go!" Brother Ten grabbed her arm, "You don't want to see my fourth brother for the time being, you have a hard time, none of us will force you, but you can't just leave!" ”

When he said this, he took a deep breath: "I beg you for this." I'm not even doing this for you. I don't want to see my fourth brother like this, not only the fourth brother, but my starling brother is not as calm as before. You insisted on going your own way, not only involving my fourth brother, but also making the five of us uneasy. If you can calm down and sit down and discuss a solution, then in the end, whether you leave the country or stay in which brother's mansion, I can accept it. ”

Brother Ten's words deeply moved Julia.

The longer she stayed here, the more she realized that there was no way she could just walk away. Not to mention that she is not familiar with the situation of the Qing Dynasty at all, everything has to be taught, even if the eighth elder brother really gives her the silver and lets her go, it is estimated that the little silver will not take long. She may not have learned any livelihood skills until she is destitute again.

What's more, as Brother Ten said, it is indeed impossible for Yinzhen to let her go.

This is not a modern society, even if it is a modern society, Ye Zishen, who was just a powerful minister, was able to drive them into a corner, and now she is alone, and she wants to run away from a prince's sphere of influence, how easy is it to talk about it? What's more, he will reign in the world in the future.

There is also a more subtle place, and Julia also noticed that the eighth elder brother wanted to leave her in the mansion and did not want her to return to Yinzhen.

Although she is not sure of the Eighth Elder Brother's intentions, Julia also understands that once she does this, Yinzhen will have to turn against the Eighth Elder Brother - then they will return to the old trap of history.

Is it just for her?

In the end, Julia discussed with the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother and made a decision: she moved out of the eighth elder brother's mansion, and the tenth elder brother rented her a mansion in the east of the city, and temporarily settled there.

The ninth elder brother told the eighth elder brother about Julia's decision, and the eighth elder brother was originally very unhappy, saying that it was nothing to do, and he did not want Julia to move out. But Brother Jiu said that they couldn't completely be inconsiderate of Yinzhen's feelings. If you really want to anger Yinzhen, it will be no good for everyone.

Weighing the pros and cons, the eighth elder brother had to agree with the ninth elder brother's words.

On Yinzhen's side, it was the tenth elder brother who went to convey it, and after listening to it, Yinzhen nodded silently, which was considered to be approved. Brother Ten breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let her settle down first, after a year and a half, Julia is in a calm mood and has found her own direction in life, fourth brother, you go and talk to her slowly." The tenth elder brother comforted, "As for the moment, the matter will be handed over to me first, so that even if the rumors spread to the emperor Ama, the fourth brother and the starling brother will not be involved." I'll take care of everything. ”

He smiled: "I'm also a county king, even if I have a title, it's not easy for others to do anything with me." ”

So looking at the place to rent a house and hire slaves, Brother Ten was very busy, not only he was busy, but Brother Nine was also planning for Julia's future, he wanted to allocate a few shops under his name to Julia, as well as acres of land, so that Julia would not have to worry about making a living. In addition, the eighth elder brother and Yinzhen took money and things one after another, and stuffed them to the tenth elder brother, in short, for fear that Julia's new home would lack something, and for fear that Julia's life would not be comfortable enough. In the end, the tenth elder brother couldn't cry or laugh, he said, what are you doing here? Julia is alone, and you decorate this house like a palace, so you are not afraid to attract people's eyes? Why are you giving her so much money? Can she use it? It's not Heshen.

But no matter what, Julia Ken stayed in Jingshi and no longer insisted on running out, which made Yinzhen's heart settle down somewhat. He felt that Brother Ten was right, but people were still flustered at the moment, and he was still in a hurry, whether he was Julia, he was still in a hurry, and it was not good to blindly force the result like this.

When everyone has stabilized and has a basic control over life, it is not too late for him to talk to Julia in detail.

Yin Zhen didn't believe that Julia would never see him for the rest of his life, he knew her, but his heart was actually very soft.

After settling down, Yinzhen was not as anxious as a few days ago, and slowly returned to the original government affairs.

That afternoon, Yinzhen went to Changchun Garden, Kangxi summoned him, because the flood season was approaching, and they all said that there would be a big flood this year, so that there were several places in the Yellow River that were very dangerous, and people must be sent to inspect the flood control fortifications.

Yinzhen was there, and the fourteenth elder brother was also there, it turned out that Kangxi meant that he wanted the fourteenth elder brother to follow the brothers to have more experience. If you have to go to Beijing on an errand this time, let them go together.

Yinzhen listened to Kangxi's words, and his heart was a little unhappy, first, he was busy with Julia's affairs at the moment, and he didn't want to leave Beijing, second, he didn't want to go out with the fourteenth elder brother, and third, he remembered that there was no problem with the Yellow River this year, and there was no need to go to patrol.

But he didn't express this meaning, Yinzhen is not a person who is good at prevarication, and he can't say the words of the unpredictable prophet "The Yellow River is very honest this year in history, so you don't have to worry about it".

The fourteenth elder brother was on the side, looking at him with a smile, but for some reason, the smile seemed a little cold, with imperceptible hostility.

Kangxi himself talked for a long time, and when he saw that his son's reaction was not too enthusiastic, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

He said "again", which means that some time ago, Yinzhen lost his soul and was blatantly deaf and dumb in the court, ignoring him, Kangxi was originally angry, and felt that the fourth child had taken the wrong medicine, but in the past two days, he found that he seemed to have recovered to his original state, so he did not investigate deeply.

Today, I don't know which sentence I said is wrong, looking at the fourth child's face pulled down, as if I am going to go against myself again: What's wrong with this child? Door curtains?

Yin Zhen retracted his senses, and just wanted to speak, the fourteenth elder brother next to him said idly: "Huang Ama, don't rush to force my fourth brother, my fourth brother has been busy recently." ”

Kangxi was stunned for a moment, and looked back at his youngest son: "What is your fourth brother busy with?" ”

The fourteenth elder brother smiled mysteriously at Yinzhen, and then turned back to Kangxi and said, "Actually, Erchen doesn't know what the fourth brother is busy with, but Erchen heard that this matter is related to a woman." ”

When Yin Zhen heard this, the alarm bell in his heart was loud!

He hurriedly laughed and said: "Huang Ama, the old fourteen is joking, how can there be a woman who is not a woman?" ”

Kangxi didn't take it seriously, and also smiled: "Old Fourteen, are you mistaken?" If you want to say something else, it may be possible, but your fourth brother has never been close to women, and he has always been very inspected, how could he run to busy a woman for no reason? ”

The fourteenth elder brother still smiled: "Oh? The minister really didn't understand, the minister only heard that in the east of the city, Xiliu Hutong, a new woman recently moved in, and the fourth brother ran before and after, and asked someone to send money and things there - I heard that the fourth brother took out seven thousand taels of silver in one breath and bought a huge back garden for the woman, is there such a thing?
