Julia settled down with the eighth elder brother, and within two days, the tenth elder brother yelled that he wanted to take her out to play.

Eighth brother thought about it, he couldn't always let Julia be stuffy in the house, at the moment the spring was bright, and it was good to go out to breathe, so he agreed.

So that day, Julia sat in a sedan chair and came to the mansion of the tenth elder brother, who was named the king of the county in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, and after he came back, he laughed and said that he had fallen into the hat of the king of the county for no reason.

In the county king's mansion of the tenth elder brother, Julia saw the long-lost killing pill, the dog has now been raised, tall and strong, and the white fur is as clean as snow. When I saw it, everyone came up and made out with people.

Shi Fujin is a small, young and beautiful girl, smiling more than talking, speaking is also gentle and gentle, doing things silently and quickly, but it seems that there is no momentum of a housewife at all, she and Brother Shi are together, but like a child running a family, there is no hierarchy. Later, everyone sat down to eat, and Brother Ten didn't care about outsiders, picked out all the chestnuts in the chestnut roast chicken, and distributed them into the bowl of Shifujin, and said to Julia and them without mind: "She loves to eat chestnuts that are burned like this." It made Shi Fujin's face red.

Julia later smiled: "I kind of understand, why Lao Shi has never had a girlfriend, there are people waiting at home, where is he willing to look out again?" ”

When she said this, Brother Ten didn't feel embarrassed, he just smiled.

Jiufujin, Julia didn't take long to see it, and what surprised her was Jiufujin's facial features. It's a bit like Scarlett Johansson.

She smiled at Brother Jiu in private: "It turns out that the ninth master married a really cover girl. ”

Jiufujin's personality is a little cold, not aimed at anyone, she is like this to everyone, even if she is really happy, she is not very enthusiastic when she laughs. There is a bit of a formulaic flavor between her and Brother Jiu, and it seems that the two of them are unlikely to have the trivial disputes and complaints of ordinary families, and if there is anything, cooperate with each other and solve it quickly. Each other did their best to preserve the family. Other than that, they don't interfere with each other.

I know, this is a couple, and I don't know, it's like the president and his shrewd and capable female assistant.

That. Brother Ten pulled Julia to his house. Not to take her to visit the Elder Brother's Mansion. In fact, it was for her to show the paintings he had painted in the past six months.

Julia was surprised, she didn't expect that there would be such a room in the Qing Dynasty's Elder Mansion. It's like a middle school art room, full of sketches, charcoal strips, easels, canvases, and all kinds of paints and brushes......

Among them, she saw the realistic portrait of Kangxi, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This is your emperor Ama?" ”

Brother Ten nodded.

It was a portrait of a person, in which Kangxi sat at his desk, with such a thick piece on his desk, he struggled to open his old eyes, and the imperial pen in his hand did not stop.

Kangxi's face looks old and tired, the corners of his eyes are drooping due to aging, and there are age spots, and the wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes are very deep, as if they are carved one by one. The faint sunset shone in through the window and shone on his face, showing a weeping and helpless atmosphere.

Julia sighed softly, "So you're like this. ”

Brother Jiu next to him snorted: "I asked him to burn this painting, but he refused, if these paintings stay here, sooner or later they will cause trouble!" ”

The tenth elder brother was very aggrieved: "Why burn it!" I don't have the slightest disrespect for Huang Amma! ”

Julia looked at the painting in silence, she could feel the love in the brush, it was impossible for someone who didn't love her father to paint such a picture - but Brother Jiu was right, such a work could not be appreciated, it would only attract outrage.

Later, Julia's tired body recovered and she could go out a little farther, and Brother Ten took her to the outskirts of the city again, and the mule pulled the sedan car and walked slowly, and it was actually very comfortable to sit in it.

It is the twilight of spring, the season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, on the side of the moat on the outskirts of the city, a big willow tree, all of them are spitting out new shoots, looking at the sprouting yellow and tender green, Yingying and green, the golden sun is shining warmly, and people's mood is much better.

"If you're free, let's go to the Old Summer Palace." The tenth elder brother sighed, "While it's not burned yet, go and see the original appearance." It's just not very convenient now......"

He didn't finish his words, because now the owner of the Old Summer Palace is Yinzhen, and Kangxi has already rewarded him with this garden.

So, Brother Ten slowly talked to Julia about their experiences in the past six months, how they were caught, imprisoned, and sent to the Qing Dynasty.

"At the beginning, everyone was confused and didn't know what to do, so they simply didn't go to court." Brother Ten pinched a wicker stick, and said with a smile, "In those days, Huang Ama was probably confused, and when he looked at the people who took leave, they seemed to have discussed it, and they all said that they were sick, which made him angry." ”

Julia couldn't help but laugh.

"Actually, we don't really know how to deal with him." Brother Ten said slowly, "Our brains haven't changed yet. If you really want to go to the court, it is the four E.T....... No, five, and one in captivity. ”

Julia asked softly, "Thirteen him...... How are you doing right now? ”

"Not so good." Tenth Elder Brother shook his head, "I went to see it once, and I went quietly, and I didn't say hello to Ninth Brother and them." When she went, Jiahui went crazy, and the guards hit her with sticks to tell her to be honest...... When Thirteen saw them beating her, she pounced on them and tried to fight them, but she almost beat him as well. Luckily, I arrived and stopped them. If you think about it, I don't know how Thirteen survived, it's only half a year, and there are still nine years waiting for them. ”

When she said this, Julia couldn't help but cry.

Seeing that she was sad, the tenth elder brother persuaded again: "Don't worry too much, I came back and told the starling brother that they have now figured out a way to send their own people to the Zongren Mansion and replace the irrelevant ones, so that the thirteenth day will be somewhat better." ”

He paused before he said, "Actually, these can be endured, Thirteen told me that the saddest thing for him is that Jiahui doesn't know him." No matter how much he cried while holding her. No matter how much he begged, Jiahui treated him as a stranger and refused to approach him if he said anything......"

When the tenth elder brother said this, he looked up at Julia: "So I heard that you refused to see the fourth brother, so I thought, aren't you the same as Jiahui?" If the fourth brother knew, he would be so sad. ”

He suddenly led the topic to Yinzhen, and Julia was defenseless, only to feel that she had received a big hammer in the chest!

Time. Her chest was so sore that it almost shattered!

"I can't see him......" she struggled. "I don't have the face to see him again, there are a lot of things...... I can't explain it to him. In this way, it is better not to see. ”

Brother Ten lowered his head. After a while. He said, "Julia." He lost a lot of weight, you will know when you see it, my fourth brother's life is very difficult. I didn't dare to look into his eyes for a while, I felt that his eyes were a little distracted, and he was not as strong as he used to be......"

When he said this, he was a little sad to find that Julia was silent.

"Are you going to leave him like this and let him live on his own?"

"He's got his life to live, right?" Julia smiled hard, "Now in this situation, I'll mix it up again, you say, what can that be?" ”

"Hey, did you hear any rumors? Let me tell you, Qianlong is pregnant, that's none of my fourth brother's business! She was pregnant before he came back! ”

Julia was stunned: "Really?" ”

"Really! My fourth brother told us personally, and I've seen Qianlong's! It's not good-looking at all, hey, he's so thin and tall, like a high school student! I came back and said to Brother Jiu, what's so good about that Lori? My ninth brother said bah! That's not Lori, that's a young tooth! There is a difference between young teeth and lori! What is the difference? Brother Jiu said that the kindergarten is full of young teeth, but only if you are willing to bring out to buy candy and ice cream for her, that is Lori. ”

Julia laughed out loud when he said it, and when she finished laughing, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Whether it's Young Tooth or Lori, it's his wife and concubine." She whispered, "I don't have anything to do with him anymore, and I won't take this to heart...... Moreover, I will have to leave the capital sooner or later. ”

Brother Ten was surprised: "What are you doing here!" Why do you have to go! ”

"I can't stay here all the time, it's going to get you in the way......"

"No! You've got to stay here! The tenth elder brother said angrily, "Don't talk about the eighth brother and the ninth brother, I won't let you go!" ”

Julia smiled wryly.

"You really can't go, Julia, you don't know how much you mean to us." Brother Ten said seriously, "We are like living in a scene now, knowing that it is fake, we have to pretend to act, which is uncomfortable." You're coming, it's like lighting up the stage, so that we don't get confused, we don't take the play seriously, we forget ourselves—that's what we fear the most. ”

Julia looked at him in surprise, she didn't expect Brother Ten to say that!

"Julia, everything is fixed here, and not even the slightest change is possible. Do you remember? One of our bunch of Ni Kuang's novels talks about this, the young man who predicted the future, what will happen in the end? ”

In that Wesley series, Julia also had the impression that the young man who had acquired the ability to predict the future by chance finally had to commit suicide because everything in life was too boring.

“…… But now, there is finally one more element of uncertainty in this pool of stagnant water, and that is you. Got it? Brother Ten looked at her, "We have been desperately fluttering for the past six months, and all kinds of strange behaviors are incomprehensible to others, in fact, we just want to struggle out of this fixed everything." All of us, all of us, belong to the Qing Dynasty, and we are all fixed chess pieces on the chessboard, but you, no. ”

He took a breath: "So no matter what, we can't let you live in a foreign land, and finally really become a Qing Dynasty person, just like us." ”

Julia smiled wryly, "But what can I do for you?" I can't do anything now, I can only rely on you to live......"

"So back then, when a few of us relied on you, did you complain? Have you ever hated us? ”

Julia couldn't answer.

"Don't think so." Brother Ten finally relieved his breath, and he said, "I am the least depressed person in this group, maybe I was born without heart and lungs." Julia, the Qing Dynasty is boring for us, but for you, there's a lot more to see, isn't it? ”

Julia laughed, "No, I was released from my cell, how can I not be happy to come here?" ”

"Then let's have fun living here." Brother Ten said, "Don't worry, you will never be a burden to us. ”

That evening, on the way back, the tenth elder brother said to Julia that he might have to pass through the Yongwang Mansion.

"I thought, if you really don't want to see my fourth brother, then hit him at the door, that's good." He hesitated and said, "If you don't even want to go to his door, then let's ...... Let's take a detour. ”

Julia was silent for a moment before she said, "No detour, let's go there...... It's nothing. (To be continued.) )
