After Hongyan disappeared, Brother Jiu stayed in the mansion, and the eighth elder brother on the company's side asked him to give full authority to himself, "In this situation, you don't have the heart to come back to work, let's find the child first." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

But where can the child find it? Jiufujin has been crying and crying since Hongyang disappeared, although the child was not born by her, but she has been taken care of for so many years, and it is no different from her own.

The ninth elder brother comforted her, and the third elder brother Hongshi disappeared together, and the other party had already sent a letter, and he might ask for some property and important court secrets.

"If he's lucky, he can come back with the third elder brother."

Jiufujin lowered his head and wiped his tears and nodded.

For her, the current situation is not good, her husband is scolded by the new emperor from time to time, found fault and is imprisoned and confined, often not seen for several days, and there are rumors that the emperor plans to move the eighth and ninth elder brothers out of Beijing......

Brother Jiu didn't know how to comfort his wife, although he tried his best to argue every time that Yinzhen had no ill will towards him, but he had to do it because of the entanglement between the courtiers. He couldn't tell the truth, he just told her not to think about it, and said that after all, the emperor was his own brother, and although he had a bad relationship before, he didn't dare to do anything to kill his siblings after all.

Jiufu Jin's eyes were red, and she raised her head to look at her husband: "Starling is now reprimanded all day long, or he will be locked up at home, master, how can we stay in the capital in the future?" ”

Brother Jiu looked at his wife, he hesitated for a long time, and finally asked tentatively: "If, I mean...... If there is still a place to go, it is not in our Daqing, but in the ...... Ahem, it's in the land of foreigners, living in a completely different place, would you like to? ”

"A completely different place?" Jiufujin looked at her husband in horror, "How can that happen?" Master, we are from the Qing Dynasty, how can we leave the Qing Dynasty and go to the land of foreigners? ”

Brother Jiu said slowly: "In other places, it's not that you can't survive, it's just that you have to do everything yourself, so there are fewer people." ”

Jiufujin still looked at him in surprise: "Ye is saying, just ...... We? ”

Brother Jiu said with difficulty: "If Honghui comes back, take him with you." ”

"That must not be!" Jiufujin said fiercely, and tears welled up, "What are you thinking!" This big family, dozens of people! I don't care about it?! Lao Wu, them, and Liucui, these girls, don't care? ! How can this work? How can you be so ruthless! We'll have to take them with us! Just leave them like that, and let them live! ”

At this point, Brother Jiu finally found out where the differences between him and his wife were.

For his wife, the important thing is not to live with herself, but to live with this family, which is nothing incomprehensible, she has lived in this family for decades, managing the big and small things in the family every day, whether it is funds or manpower, if there is anything, Brother Jiu will let the servants go to find his wife, the male protagonist and the female protagonist, Jiufu Jin is the real manager of this family.

Let her leave the home she relies on to survive, leave behind this group of slaves who accompany her day and night, and follow herself to the modern society, even if she is the president's wife, Jiufujin can't stand it.

…… But he can't bring a large number of people like Wu Seventeen, Lao Yu, Liucui, and Jinyan to modern society.

Thinking of this, Brother Jiu sighed softly, and he nodded: "Understood." ”

After speaking, he reached out and shook his wife's forearm, and said gently: "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will not ignore this group of people and let them sit and wait for death." I didn't say that just now, so I won't persuade you anymore. ”

At this moment, a subordinate came to report that Sjepan had asked to see him.

Brother Nine was stunned.

Since he came back, he hadn't seen Sjepan take the initiative to come to the door, and everyone outside knew that these two people had been enemies for many years, and Brother Jiu went to Sjiepan's place once, and rumors could spread in the capital for three whole days.

Why did Sjepan suddenly come running over at this time?

But he didn't bother to ask in detail, so he just said, let the family in.

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Jiu called out to the servant again.

"Take Master Si to my study."

The servant's expression was like swallowing a hard-boiled egg, the guests who went to the study were all close friends like the eighth elder brother, how did the ninth elder brother get nervous today and invite an enemy to his study?

But the master's order has been given, and the slave naturally cannot ask in detail.

Brother Jiu returned to the study, changed his clothes, and after a while, the servant brought Sjepan here.

It was already the time of the lamp, and Sjepan stood at the door of the study, his eyes roaming the room over and over again.

Brother Nine asked people to retreat first.

"Do you think this room looks familiar?" He said casually, "Sensei is at the door, come in." ”

Sjepan walked slowly into the study, and he looked around for a moment before he hesitated, "I've been here." ”

Brother Nine laughed, why didn't he come before? Ten years ago, Sjepan lived in this house for more than half a year.

Si Jie Pan raised his eyebrows and looked at Brother Jiu, which seemed to be waiting for him to give himself an explanation.

Brother Jiu said lightly: "Come here so late, what's the matter?" Or did you not pinch enough during the day, and you still want to continue arguing with me? ”

Si Jiepan was a little embarrassed, today he and Brother Jiu left Ouchi, they were still arguing all the way, he was going to change the two children, Brother Jiu didn't agree to anything, and the two of them kept arguing until the gate of the palace.

"I'm not here today to quarrel with the Ninth Master." Si Jie Pan paused, "I want to inform the Ninth Master that the messenger from the ghost has come again." ”

With a word, Brother Jiu stood up!

"When!"

"When it was almost dark, the emperor was having dinner, and a little eunuch was suddenly ...... by a ghost."

So Si Jie Pan told the little eunuch about the ninth elder brother.

"The emperor just found me and told me the details, and he said that the whole process would not take more than ten minutes." As Sjepan said this, he looked up at Brother Jiu, "As I said before, the other party made a request: three days later, at midnight, Liulinburg." I'll go and the kids will come back. ”

Brother Jiu stared at him for a long time, he slowly sat down and nodded: "Then you make up your mind, you have to go, right?" ”

Sjepan looked at him and said slowly, "If there is another way, I don't want to go." ”

Brother Jiu sneered from his nose: "You have all planned it, and you came to talk to me about it!" ”

Sjepan lowered his head and was silent for a while, then he suddenly said, "I came this time to ask the Ninth Master. ”

"What?"

"Even if the little boy Hongyang comes back, don't blame him, let alone put the responsibility of my arrest on him. It's my own choice, and it's not about the kids. ”

Brother Nine nodded slowly: "Understood." As for you, you've always wanted to be a virgin, and you almost built a notre dame ten years ago, and now it seems that this problem has not changed at all. ”

"It's not that the lower officials want to be the Virgin." Sjepan's voice was still so calm, "Ninth Master, you can't understand it. Doing so was just a relief for me. ”

"What kind of relief is this?! To send to death! ”

Stepan turned his face sideways, and he stared at the candle on the table, and the vague memories of the past were rushing up, and he felt that the candlelight was very kind, as if he had looked at the silver candlestick many times from this angle.

"Ninth Master, you said that Long Live Lord is ready to leave, and when Long Live Lord leaves, there will be no place for the lower officials here." Sjepan whispered, "Xia Guan is an official of the Great Qing Dynasty, and if he leaves the Great Qing Dynasty, there will be no second place to go." Even though I came from somewhere else, I don't want to go back, not at all. ”

Brother Jiu suddenly felt that he couldn't interject half of his mouth.

Sjepan came back to his senses, and he smiled: "I was already in a dilemma, I didn't know what to do, just right, a solution fell from the sky. So what's so bad about that? My problem was solved, the children were able to come back, and everyone's problem was solved. ”

The more Brother Jiu listened, the more angry he became, and he frowned and said, "Who said you have nowhere to go?" Even if you leave the Qing Dynasty, you didn't go to beg for food in the past! ”

Sjepan did not answer him immediately, he turned away, looked at the empty wall, suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the wall and whispered, "There was something here." ”

Brother Jiu was stunned.

“…… Originally, I remember writing a banner here. Stepan tilted his head and thought, "That's right." It was written by you yourself - Ninth Master, what about the banner? ”

Brother Jiu looked at him blankly, and after a while, he said with difficulty: "I don't know if I was torn off by the copy, where did I throw it......"

Sjepan nodded: "You see, just like that banner, a lot of things, a lot of things have been ruined, and they will never come back." So no matter how familiar it may feel to me here, it's not what it used to be. ”

Brother Jiu was more and more powerless by what he said: "If you do this, even if Honghui comes back, how can you tell me to talk to him!" ”

Sjepan smiled: "Ten years ago, he was carrying a small burden to go with me, that time I was weak and failed to save him, this time, I finally have a chance." That's what it is...... I'm going to make a promise 10 years late. ”

Knowing that there was no room for manoeuvre, Brother Jiu had no choice but to remain silent.

That night, he kept sending Sjepan out, and when he walked to the door, Sjepan stopped, and he looked back at Brother Jiu.

"There's one thing, I've been wanting to ask the Ninth Master for the past two days."

"What?"

Sjepan looked at him, and his expression suddenly became a little strange, as if the sentence was very difficult to speak, but there was a strong desire to force him to say it.

"Ten years ago, before I lost my memory, there was a ...... between me and the Ninth Master Did something happen? ”

Brother Jiu looked at him in a daze, he opened his mouth for a long time before he said in a dumb voice: "What do you think?" What will happen between us? ”

A second or two of silence.

Then, struggling to squeeze out a smile, he shook his head: "I don't think anything will happen between us. The Ninth Master and I...... It's not the same. We're two people who can't beat us. ”

Brother Jiu lowered his eyes, and after a moment, he raised it again: "As you said, between us, nothing happened. ”

His voice was very calm, and his face was not moved, as if he was stating a fact. (To be continued.) )
