Chapter 431: Brother Talk
The fourth day of October.
The north wind was already blowing in the city, and the streets looked a little bleak and cold.
Naturally, people who have nothing to do will not go out, but the people who are begging for a living still have to move forward in this howling wind.
changed from cool summer clothes to winter cold cotton clothes, pushed the stall for his life, and walked towards the canal little by little.
In the past few days, the streets and alleys in Sui'an City have been reduced by the sudden cold weather, and there are many fewer pedestrians, so the business has naturally decreased a lot, because the owner of the wonton stall heard that the canal side is lively, so he plans to try his luck.
A few days ago, the four princes were ordered by the emperor to supervise the shipment of goods here, so the number of officers and soldiers in the inspection line also doubled, and the officials came, and the people naturally watched the excitement, so the wharf that was originally lively on weekdays became more and more enthusiastic.
By the time the owner of the wonton stall arrived, it was obvious that most of the good seats here had been occupied, mainly selling cheap food, selling cooking cakes, baked potatoes, and spicy soup.
Pedestrians hurriedly passed by, wrapped their cotton clothes tightly, and hid their hands in their sleeves, for fear that they would freeze if they were exposed.
Compared with those dignitaries and nobles who enjoy the winter warm kang comfortably in the mansion, these low-level people, for the sake of the three living money, can ignore the cold.
A restaurant next to the wharf, called Qingfeng Building, is one of the best in the neighborhood.
And now it is completely covered by the four princes, because living here, you can monitor everything by pushing the window, you don't have to suffer from the cold wind, and you don't have to run back and forth, which is convenient and safe.
Standing quietly in front of the window and watching for a while, after feeling that everything was normal, the four princes let the window be closed, walked to the table of the eight immortals and sat down, poured a cup of tea for the seven princes opposite, and then spoke.
"Why are you here?"
"The fourth brother also said, I went into the palace today to visit the concubine, and she said that she hadn't seen you for a few days, so my brother I came over to talk to you, pick a suitable time, and still go into the palace to have a look."
Compared with the four princes, the seventh prince's visit to the concubine Niangniang is non-stop, and he has to go once every three or five days, which is naturally much more attentive than the fourth prince, who only goes once in ten days and a half months.
The fourth prince's face has not changed, he is now in a mess in the court, how can he have the heart to see his mother concubine, but he still has to say a few words.
"I know, when I'm done here, I'll go into the palace to see my mother."
He said it lightly, and after the Seventh Prince also noticed some of his unhappy emotions, he thought that he was bored about what he was doing here, and said again.
"Fourth brother, why bother? Let two competent men keep watch here, and you should go back to your house. ”
The fourth prince naturally has a reason to stay here, so when he heard this, he didn't think so, so he replied.
"You, looking at the problem is short-sighted. Since we want to meddle in the matter of river transportation and shipping, we naturally want to show our father and the emperor, and we can ask for an order to do it in the future, otherwise it is stupid to let the East Palace rob such a big fat meat? ”
"Donggong still wants to rob it? In the past few days, the prince has been reprimanded twice by his father, and no one with a discerning eye can see that now the fourth brother is a celebrity in front of his father! Even if there is an errand, it will definitely be given to you, the fourth brother relaxes. ”
A few days ago, they thought that their father might not wake up from a long sleep, so the Seventh Prince was also worried that before it was a foregone conclusion, they would end up with the result of Emperor Bintian, so wouldn't their abacus be in vain?
So he asked the Zhao family to send some fierce medicine, and after eating it in the past few months, my father looked a lot more energetic, so he naturally liked the people of their faction.
He is proud, which does not mean that the four princes can't see the situation clearly.
"Don't take it lightly, the prince's status in the court will not change because of just two reprimands, don't forget, he persuaded his father and sent 50,000 tiger soldiers to stay by his side, how many people in the period of Ding Worry can get such honor?"
The Seventh Prince took a sip of tea irritably, and then scolded a few words, but the scolding was scolded, and he got angry and talked about the things on the side.
"I haven't congratulated the fourth brother yet, this time I got a son again, not to mention that this fourth sister-in-law is really a prosperous family, she married into your house for more than a year, not only gave birth to a brother, but even the maid next to her can give birth to a brother for you, in the future, I'm afraid that among our brothers and sisters, I'm afraid that the son of the fourth brother will be the most."
The crown prince was several years older than them, so it was normal for him to have more children.
And the Four Princes' Mansion doesn't know why, all the people who were born in a row are the emperor's grandsons, full of calculations, except for Wei Jialian, who is pregnant again, there are now four or five boys, and the imperial doctor in the palace also gave the four princesses Wei Jialian a pulse, saying that eight or nine times out of ten it is still a male fetus.
That's why the Seven Princes said this.
He thought that the fourth brother who had a son would be happy to hear this kind of words, but the face of the fourth prince showed an impatient expression, and he also complained to the seventh prince and said.
"How do you know I'm hard? I am happy that your fourth sister-in-law gave birth to a son, but the Dingping Marquis Mansion was not happy, and hurriedly sent two good concubines to the backyard. ”
"No wonder you want to take this opportunity to run out, dare to love that there are too many warblers and Yanyan in the backyard, and you can't stand it?"
The Seven Princes made fun of it, but the Four Princes didn't care at all.
In the past, he also had side concubines and concubines, but there were only a few, and he could still take care of them, but now the Dingping Marquis Mansion and the Taiwei Mansion look calm on the surface, but in fact, his princess and former mother-in-law are fighting hard.
If you make a move, I'll shoot you back.
Although he didn't make any trouble, but he was upset as soon as he returned home, he didn't come to cry today, Ming'er was the one who came to make trouble, sometimes, he couldn't even eat a stable meal, it was better to live more comfortably in this restaurant.
Seeing that the fourth prince didn't speak, the seventh prince also approached and comforted him.
"There are only a dozen of them, and after the fourth brother sits firmly in the country, the harem is three thousand beauties, is it possible, you have to avoid it?"
"Can it be the same? If you want to get on that place, neither the Taiwei Mansion nor the Dingping Marquis Mansion can be offended, but both sides have to be pleased, it's really annoying! ”
He is now really looking forward to the day when he will be in power, and when the time comes, he will clean up all these people, and save one or two just to take his idea.
