Although Xishan often comes to hunt because of Kangxi, the path between the forests is often maintained, but in the end it is still a little rugged, and the equestrian skills of several men are good.

Although she also learned to ride a horse when she was a child, she was just a kind of goods, it was okay to ride on the flat ground, but she was going to die on the mountain road, she nervously grabbed the reins, the whole body was stiff, and after a while, she was drenched in sweat.

The tenth elder brother glanced back, pursed his lips, and said: "Among the women of the entire royal family and clan, the riding skills of the ninth sister-in-law are probably among the best, and the Nian family is compared to her, and she is simply compared to the mud." ”

The thirteenth elder brother also said: "The ninth sister-in-law looks weak, but her riding and archery skills are stronger than most men, it can be said that Wen Ke gets off the horse to run the house, and Wu Ke gets on the horse to kill the enemy, which is not comparable to ordinary women." ”

Fu Suni has always been very good to the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and the two are naturally willing to speak for her.

The ninth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother meaninglessly, the old thirteen was wrong, Fu'er is not stronger than most men, but stronger than all men! No matter how strong the riding skills, the archery skills are good, and the strength of the men is like a three-year-old child in front of her, as long as she wants to, she can crush them!

Forget it, don't tell the thirteenth man about this nightmarish fact, so as to save him from being hit.

At this moment, a fat hare came out of the woods, and the ninth, tenth, and thirteenth elder brothers all responded quickly to shoot arrows with bows, and after three string sounds, the hare fell to the ground and did not move.

The clever minion flew over, found the hare in the bushes, slipped over, and reported loudly: "The arrow of the ninth master hit the right eye, the arrow of the tenth master was shot in the front leg, and the arrow of the thirteenth master did not hit." ”

The tenth elder brother laughed and said: "Old Thirteen, you are too useless, you can shoot a rabbit and shoot it empty." ”

The thirteenth elder brother rolled his eyes and said: "That's the ninth brother's action is too fast, originally I estimated that the rabbit would move forward a little bit, then I just shot the head, but unfortunately the ninth brother moved faster, he shot the rabbit first, my arrow arrived slowly, at this time the rabbit has not run to the point where the arrow landed, so it will be missed." If Brother Nine didn't release the arrow, Brother Ten, your arrow would have been shot on the stomach, but it's a pity that there is a piece of fur. ”

Brother Ten smiled and said: "You are all an afterthought, the fact is that your arrow missed, and my arrow hit, hahahaha!" ”

The thirteenth elder brother flattened his mouth and didn't want to argue with him.

Nian Qianyao took the rabbit and glanced at it, and exclaimed: "The ninth master is really a good archery!" The arrow passed through the rabbit's eye, and it was exactly two inches into it, without hurting the slightest fur. Terrible! ”

Brother Jiu chuckled: "Don't compliment Lianggong, you know, Lianggong's archery is also a must, don't hide it today, show it out and let us open our eyes." ”

Nian Qianyao smiled bitterly, the reason why he asked the eldest brother to ask the ninth elder brother to come hunting was actually to show a little riding and archery ability. He was born as a Jinshi, and his martial arts are also extraordinary, and he wants to let Brother Jiu see his value. However, from the arrow just now, Nian Qianyao knew that he couldn't win against Brother Jiu even if he beat the horse, even if he bothered himself and went all out, he would be able to get a tie at most......

How can this make Brother Jiu see his value?

Nian's eyes had already turned into star eyes at this moment, and he looked at Brother Jiu with confusion and admiration. It's a pity that Brother Jiu didn't look at her.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a flat land here, and a small stream flows through, Nian Qianyao saw that his sister was too tired to work, so he said: "The terrain here is good, why don't you eat here at noon?" ”

The eldest brother nodded and said okay, and Nian Qianyao left Nian's family, asked her to prepare lunch, and left a few servants to help.

Seeing that Brother Jiu still didn't look at her, Nian stomped his feet hatefully, and secretly swore that he would definitely conquer Brother Jiu's taste with delicious food for a while!

Next is the time for Nian Qianyao to perform, he wants to show his value in order to achieve the goal of marrying his sister to Brother Jiu.

The eldest elder brother patted the horse and walked to the ninth elder brother and said, "You also saw Nian's today, the eldest brother is right, he is a beauty." ”

Brother Jiu pouted: "That's it, with the appearance of a beauty, but not the charm of a beauty." ”

"You can't compare the ninth brother and sister with her, Nian is only thirteen or fourteen years old now, just a little girl, what charm can she have? If you marry her in the future, what kind of beauty do you want to train her to be? ”

"Not interested."

The eldest brother hated that iron could not be made of steel and said: "Women are not just like that, they blow the lamp all the same!" What matters is her family background! If you want to achieve great things, there is only one Fujin, which will be your biggest obstacle! Think about it for yourself. ”

For the elm head of the ninth elder brother, the eldest elder brother has lost hope.

He hit the horse and walked to Nian Qianyao's side, Nian Qianyao looked at him expectantly, the eldest brother sighed, and said, "Today's matter, I don't see much hope." ”

Nian Qianyao was silent for a while, and said, "The slave went to talk to the Ninth Master." ”

The eldest elder brother called the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother away, leaving Nian Qianyao and the ninth elder brother.

Nian Qianyao came to Brother Jiu's side and said, "The thoughts of the slave family, presumably Prince Zhi has already told the Ninth Master. The slave is also straight, so he said it directly. Before coming, the slave reached an agreement with Ama and the eldest brother, and was willing to do all the strength of the Nian family to help the ninth master. The little sister of the slave has always admired the ninth master, and hopes to serve him all the time. I don't know what the ninth master thinks? ”

Brother Jiu sighed lightly and said solemnly: "Nian's is very good, if you say this to the other brothers, no matter which one it is, even if it is the prince, you will definitely agree gladly." It's just that the master already has a heart, and he doesn't want to accept a second woman in this life, so he can only refuse your sister's kindness. ”

Although Nian Qianyao was already mentally prepared, his face sank for it.

Brother Jiu continued: "The Nian family is also very good, the Nian family is upright, known as a virtuous name, you and Brother Ling are also rare talents, if the Nian family is willing to follow the master, the master will naturally not ask for it, if there are other plans, the master can also understand." ”

If there were no resources in Fu'er's hands, Brother Jiu believed that he would never be able to refuse the Nian family's request, but it was just a woman, a side blessing, if it could be exchanged for the support of the Nian family, it would still be cost-effective. If he hadn't had only one Fu'er in his heart, then he would have agreed.

But now, he has someone he likes, he can't bear to let her suffer a little grievance, and he has enough confidence to be able to resist the world alone, so why force himself anymore?

If the Nian family is willing to follow him, they will naturally be rewarded for their merits in the future. If the Nian family is unwilling to follow him, he will not be angry because of this, in the future, whether it is the Nian family or other families, they will always become his courtiers, those who are capable of it, and those who are not capable of it, and so on.

Of course, with the same ability, he naturally wanted to appoint those who had earlier been obedient to him.

Nian Qianyao's expression changed sharply, if it was just for the sake of high-ranking officials, he would be an honest errand and could get it. But what he wants is not only this, but also what the Nian family wants.

The Tong family became the Tong Banchao because of a filial piety queen Kangzhang, so why can't their Nian family follow suit?

In the past, the emperor still attached great importance to the difference between Manchu and Han, but in recent years, it can be clearly felt that the emperor is significantly improving the status of the Han people. In the past, Manchu and Han could not intermarry, Manchus could not marry Han women as their wives, and Han people could not marry Manchu women as their wives, that is, those in the Han military banner were not subject to this constraint. However, now, the Han people who are not in the banner can also freely intermarry with the Manchus, which is simply a great change!

The Nian family naturally gave birth to a trace of ambition, and in a few decades, will the prince also have Han blood?

With the Tong family Zhuyu in front, the Nian family also wants to let their own family produce a queen and an emperor with the blood of the Nian family.

In the matter of the abolition of the crown prince and the establishment of the posterior, the eldest elder brother, the original master of the Nian family, has completely declared that he has lost the hope of competing for the position of the prince, and the Nian family has also been assigned to the fourth elder brother by Kangxi.

The men of the Nian family have lamented countless times, the first master has no hope, there is still no hope for another master, the fourth elder brother is a "waste person" like the eldest elder brother, and even the future is even more pessimistic than the eldest elder brother, why is their Nian family so unlucky?

Fortunately, the eldest brother and the ninth elder brother are friendly, and through this relationship, they want to get closer to the ninth elder brother. And marriage is the best way, and it is also the most beneficial way for the Nian family.

It's just that I didn't expect that Brother Jiu didn't accept the beauty plan!

If you can't marry your sister to Brother Jiu, what advantages can the Nian family have compared to others?

Nian Qianyao's hesitation and entanglement in his eyes, Brother Jiu shook his head secretly in his heart, the Nian family obviously has good ability, but they still want to rely on nepotism, it can be seen that the plot is not small, even if the Nian family really comes to vote, he will not rest assured.

So Brother Jiu said: "Lianggong doesn't need to reply now, you can go back and discuss it with your family." ”

Nian Qianyao got the steps, and hurriedly came down, but he never mentioned marrying a sister and being loyal.

Brother Jiu smiled meaninglessly, caught up with his brothers, and continued to hunt.

At noon, a few people returned to the halfway up the mountain, Nian had already set up a pot, which was boiled with delicious fish soup, and when they saw Brother Jiu they were going down the mountain, they hurriedly scooped out a few bowls of soup, she held a bowl to Brother Jiu with her own hands, and said in a cold voice: "Master Jiu, please drink a mouthful of fish soup to warm your body." ”

The ninth elder brother took the soup bowl, sat down with the tenth elder brother, slowly blew it cold, and drank a few sips.

The eldest brother didn't know Nian Qianyao's entanglement, so he spared no effort to speak for Nian's, and praised with a smile after drinking the fish soup: "Nian's fish soup is really good, it's delicious, and I'll give you a bowl again." ”

Nian's impression of the eldest brother was very good, and he served him another bowl, at this time, the hares and pheasants that he had beaten before had been roasted, and Nian's disassembled them with a knife, put them in clean banana leaves, and sent them to everyone.

"The minions often go out on safaris with their brothers, and they have developed the ability to barbecue meat, although it is not a delicacy in the world, but it also has a unique taste, please taste a few masters."

Nian put the best chicken legs and rabbit legs in front of Brother Jiu, and the eldest brother glanced at it and quipped: "Oh, sure enough, this person is handsome and takes advantage, and he also wants to eat a chicken leg." ”

Nian blushed and lowered his head.

Nian Qianyao silently gnawed the rabbit head in his hand, and he didn't know what to do now.

After eating some barbecue meat and fish soup, Brother Jiu said, "Mix some wild vegetables to relieve your greasy." ”

Nian Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "The minion is not prepared. ”

Nian's never eats wild vegetables, either astringent or bitter, what's delicious?

Brother Jiu frowned, he always felt uncomfortable eating barbecue without eating some vegetables, and the servants in the house laughed and said, "Lord Wang, the servants picked some wild vegetables, so they will be scalded and mixed for you." ”

The minions brought by Brother Jiu often follow him out, so they naturally know his eating habits. Before he married Fusuni, he was also meatless, and he didn't like to eat vegetables very much.

After Fusuni married him, there would be a few vegetables in the dishes he ordered the kitchen to cook every day, and over time, he also developed the habit of having vegetables at every meal. Even in the cold winter wax moon, the hot spring village will pick some green vegetables every day and send them to the house.

Seeing that the slave took out a handful of verdant wild vegetables, Brother Jiu's frowning brows relaxed, and it was still the slave trained by Fu'er who knew his preferences.

The wild vegetables are very tender, just roll them in boiling water and pick them up, put them in cool boiled water to cool, then scoop them up, sprinkle a little salt, drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, it is a fragrant and delicious side dish.

Brother Jiu sandwiched a spoonful, the unique fragrance of wild vegetables was sandwiched with a faint bitterness, and the aftertaste was a little sweet, very refreshing.

After returning to the city in the afternoon, several people separated at the city gate, Nian looked at the back of Brother Jiu without nostalgia, bit her lower lip unwillingly, she asked, "Second brother, how did you talk to Jiu Ye?" ”

In Nian's voice, there was a strong expectation.

However, Nian Qianyao shook his head: "The ninth master can't go here, we have to re-plan, let's go, go back and discuss with Ama and the eldest brother." ”

When Nian Shi heard this, the whole person was stunned, and her mind was full of "The Ninth Master doesn't want me to ......" I don't know when, two lines of tears have fallen on her face.

Nian Qianyao sighed lightly and said: "There are many good men in the world, but the ninth master doesn't want you, because he has no vision." ”

Nian Shi choked up and said, "If there is a better man in this world than the Ninth Master, why should Ama and his brothers think of him first?" ”

Nian Qianyao looked up at the sky, yes, in addition to the crown prince, the most promising person to fight for the position of the prince now is the ninth elder brother, if you want to give up the ninth elder brother, then who should you choose?

Among the adult princes, the eldest brother, the third elder brother, the eighth elder brother, and the fourteenth elder brother have been rejected by the emperor, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother all have different hidden diseases, the tenth elder brother married a Mongolian woman, the twelfth elder brother was raised by a slave, and the fifteenth elder brother was born by a Han woman, and there is no hope, and there is only thirteen elder brothers......

However, the weakness of the thirteenth elder brother is also very obvious, and he is not optimistic at all.

As for the other little brothers, not to mention, there is no age advantage, and the background is not very good, where can he compare to the ninth elder brother?

In this way, there is still hope only if you choose Brother Jiu!

However, Brother Jiu doesn't accept his little sister, which always makes people unwilling!
