The slave is beaten for the master, it is the most common situation in the study, everyone will not be nervous and cramped when they see the eighth elder brother coming, someone came forward to salute, and explained the reason, only because the ninth elder brother did not do one of his homework yesterday, so he moved the responsibility.

"Are you done?"

"Back to the eighth elder brother, there are still ten battles."

Yinyu looked down at the little eunuch who was shaking into a sieve, and felt pity, there was no one who was not beaten with Yinyu's minions, and he also rotated the most, and there were new faces every three or five days.

First, it was Concubine Yi who arrogantly blamed them for teaching Brother Jiu badly, and secondly, the iron muscles and bones couldn't withstand being beaten every day.

"Bring me the ruler."

"This ...... Yes."

After a little hesitation, the palace people quickly took out a thick ring ruler, and Yinyu pointed at Yinyu with the ring ruler, and said coldly, "Come here."

Brother Jiu trembled, biting his lip and clenching his fists, although he was so embarrassed that he wanted to run out immediately, he didn't dare to disobey Brother Starling. ap.

The sound of whipping sounded in the courtyard, and in the classroom on this side, Fourteen was racking his brains to calculate today's newly learned arithmetic problems, Yinxiang was quietly practicing words on the side, and the Twelfth Elder Brother suddenly ran in and gloated and said, "The starling brother is here, and he beat the ninth brother."

Yinyu and Yinxiang raised their heads at the same time, and the twelfth elder brother pointed out, pricking up his ears to listen to the whipping sound: "Eighth brother is beating the ninth brother's handboard."

I don't know how many times I beat it, but I finally calmed down, and soon a little eunuch came and said that the eighth elder brother was going to pass on the emperor's message.

All the emperor's elder brother and his sons gathered in the courtyard to listen to the emperor's teachings, and bowed their heads to thank him.

Yinyu walked up to Yinyu, whose face was flushed, and said coldly, "Follow me."

Brother Jiu lowered his head, knowing that he was being ridiculed, and he was full of reluctance, but he still followed.

In the quiet and unmanned side hall, Yinyu pulled his brother's palm, just a dozen times, he used a lot of strength, compared to the previous eunuchs' subordinates, when he was hit for the first time, Yinyu was crazy.

"Why don't you do your homework, do you want to wait for the Taifu to report and let Huang Ama teach you a lesson?"

"I just don't want to do it."

Yin Xi patted his younger brother's head and reprimanded: "You are serious about it, otherwise don't think about me anymore, how did you promise me at the beginning, you said that you would study hard."

Brother Jiu's eyes were red, and he said angrily and aggrievedly: "At the celebration banquet, Yinxiang and Yinyu gave those two boys the limelight, I know that they worked hard and spent a lot of time thinking about the war in the imperial court, and the old fourteen still shouted that they wanted to be a general all day long, they had something to say that day, I was not jealous, and I didn't have anything to ask. But my mother, from that night to today, the emperor has ignored her because I am not good at studying, and the imperial grandmother does not want to see her because I have no interest, and she is not satisfactory, all because of me.

Yin Yu sighed lightly: "Do you think this is the case, can Concubine Yi Niangniang change, in the end, you yourself abandoned your studies, and were beaten and scolded by Huang Ama, and even more seriously, you won't be able to do any errands in the future, and be an idle prince who lives on mediocrity, and those foreign things you like will not be your turn."

"But ......"

"And those eunuchs who are with you, who are beaten and punished all day long, and who live in peace without a single day, can they not hold grudges in their hearts? Naturally, they don't dare to do anything to you, but if you don't talk about the future, even now, is there a person in this Forbidden City who is loyal to you, and there is not even a credible messenger by your side, what else can you do?"

Brother Jiu lowered his head, his palms were so painful that he couldn't hold his fists, but he knew that Starling was doing it for his own good.

Yin Yu said, "Next time, I will beat you again, unless you will no longer recognize me as a brother." Yinyu, you are so smart, you can learn to understand the ghost-like foreign language, why do you want to abuse yourself?"

Brother Jiu was very aggrieved: "But no matter how well I do, only you can see it, my mother only cares about whether Huang Ama is good to her, and in Huang Ama's eyes, there are only, only ......."

Yin Yu said coldly: "If Emperor Ama doesn't care about you, will he let those foreign priests communicate with you, and will he send you all the Western things that no one else has ever seen?"

"I ......"

"Fourteenth Elder Brother, why don't you go back here?"

Just when Brother Jiu was speechless and didn't know how to answer these words, the voice of the little eunuch came from outside the door, knowing that it was Yinyu outside, he was immediately annoyed, and felt that the old fourteen came to see him to laugh, so he got up and rushed out.

Yinyu hurriedly followed, and grabbed Yinyu's arm under the eaves, but saw Fourteen standing at the bottom of the steps, looking at this side.

He suppressed the impulsive ninth brother and asked kindly, "Yinyu, what are you doing here to bask in the sun, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I am carefully affected by the heatstroke."

Yinyu said with a serious face: "I want to find Brother Jiu to teach me arithmetic problems, and I don't understand a lot of newly learned arithmetic recently."

When everyone heard this, they were all equally surprised, and even Yinxiang, who came over, stopped in surprise.

Let's say that there is no cloud today, the sun is shining in the morning, and the afternoon is very hot, and in the fourth elder brother's house, Honghui sleeps very unsteadily, crying non-stop.

Hearing that the nurse said that children are afraid of heat, Yuxi took her son to the eaves and swayed, the breeze was gentle, and Honghui finally fell asleep quietly on Eniang's shoulder.

I saw the steward come in from under the courtyard gate, Qinglian stepped forward and said a few words, and soon came back with a letter, saying that it was an important letter from the fourth elder brother, which should not be placed in the study, so I sent it to Fujin to receive it first.

Yuxi glanced at the envelope, saw that it was a letter from Hubei, and guessed that it should be a reply from Nian Yaoling, so he followed Qinglian into the door, handed over his son to the nurse, and collected the letter with his own hands.

"The slave maid also heard an incident, which came from the palace."

"What's wrong?"

"Today, the eighth elder brother went to the study and severely punished the ninth elder brother, and he beat him hard."

"Their brothers have always been close, and the eighth elder brother should be divided when he disciplines his younger brother."

"But our fourteenth elder brother suddenly ran away and begged the ninth elder brother to teach him arithmetic."

Only then did Yuxi raise his eyes and become interested: "Fourteenth brother, ask the ninth elder brother for advice?"

Qinglian smiled: "Yes, what a new thing, this will be spread all over the womb, it is said that the ninth elder brother agreed, and the eighth elder brother also watched the ninth elder brother give a lecture to the fourteenth elder brother."

Yuxi said: "I heard that the ninth elder brother is good at arithmetic, and Huang Ama has praised him many times, our fourteenth brother will find Mr., no matter what grievances he has, let's talk about it after learning the skills first."

Qinglian was worried: "In case the Ninth Elder Brother is angry and makes the Fourteenth Elder Brother make jokes in the future, how can I make it?"

Yuxi shook his head: "No, the ninth elder brother himself knows that Huang Ama values his good arithmetic, if he teaches Yinyu stupidly and badly, won't he expose his insidious stinginess, on the contrary, if the fourteenth elder brother learns well, he can let people know everywhere, it is his credit." If I were him, I would definitely choose the latter, not to mention, there is also the eighth elder brother who will take care of the proportions for him."

Qinglian sighed: "Our fourteenth elder brother is really an unpredictable child."
