Chapter 26: The fourth elder brother endures and secretly loses

This is the most pure time that Lu Pheasant has ever seen the Wu family.

Dressed plainly, with long hair scattered and no fat powder.

Dressed like this in the harem, one is that there is a mourning in the palace, wearing linen and filial piety, and the other is that he is at fault and has to bear the blame on the master.

Seeing this, Lu Pheasant naturally wanted to make her look surprised: "Wu Gege, what's wrong?" What happened? ”

Wu Shi was silent, crying, and choked up: "The concubine begged Fujin for help!" ”

Without the master's signal, Pin'er served tea first, helped Wu and asked her to sit down and rest.

Sen'er on the side was actually muttering in his heart, this Wu clan is really, he thinks that Fujin is not hard enough today, so he has to pick this time to join in the fun and cause trouble to Fujin.

Seeing that the Wulanala clan's face was calm, the Wu clan actually settled down a lot in his heart.

The urging at home is too tight, and her father looks like she will cut off family ties with her if she doesn't save her brother. And my mother fell ill in bed as early as when my brother was arrested, and she couldn't take care of anything.

Today, the family also sent a handkerchief for a mother who vomited blood.

Wu waited for several days, and finally wiped away his tears when he saw the veil and made up his mind.

Take off the hairpin and put on a thin dress.

It's just that when she came over, she didn't know that the fourth elder brother had reached an agreement with Sifujin, and the person arrived at the front study.

The study of the fourth elder brother in the elder brother's office is a forbidden place for their concubines.

In front of her, when the Li family was at the height of her favor, the fourth elder brother did not allow her to enter the study.

The Wu clan couldn't get past the front yard, gritted his teeth, and had to take a step back to beg the Ulanala clan first.

Even if she didn't give up hope in her heart, she could only say the situation of her brother in the family.

When Lu Pheasant heard this, he asked carefully: "Do you know who caught it?" What did you do again? ”

Wu lowered his head, bit his lip, and shook his head.

Lu Pheasant's face turned two points colder: "The official family always has to have a reason to do things, and it is impossible to arrest people at will in the capital territory." Wu Gege, if you don't really ask someone to do something, then I advise you to go back first, it's not too early. ”

"Fujin, Fujin, I said, brother, he has led people a few times and sold ...... Selling officials. I think it was because of this that he was arrested by the people of the Yamen of the Infantry Army. ”

When the Manchus entered the customs, the judicial system of the military and civilian people of the Eight Banners was self-contained, unlike the previous trials by the county and government, in which the criminal case was managed by the Yamen of the Guibu Army.

When Lu Pheasant was not married, Haosheng read the new version of "The Law of the Great Qing Dynasty" that had been revised several times before and after, and he barely could distinguish it, and when she heard it, her color changed: "The case of the Dutong Yamen, how can we interfere with the women in the backyard, Wu Gege's mouth is too open, I can't take it." ”

Wu knelt down again: "Fujin, there is really no way to concubine, I don't want my brother to be safe, I just hope that the family can go to see how he is now." The mother of the family has been bedridden and hemoptysis for him, how can she bear to watch it like this as a daughter? ”

Lu Pheasant: "Wu Gege, I entered the door later than you, but I also know our master's temperament, and he has always been unable to rub sand in his eyes." If you want to meet someone, as long as it meets the regulations, you shouldn't object. I'll find an opportunity to mention it to my grandfather, and if he agrees, then it will be good. ”

Wu immediately kowtowed: "Thank you Fujin, thank you Fujin." ”

Lu Pheasant asked people to send the Wu family out, and before lying down, he thought carefully about the matter of today's cowpox report to the emperor, whether to send someone to the house to tell his brothers first, or to report to Dr. Bai's medical hall.

Later, she thought that since the matter had been handed over to the emperor, she thought that he would move faster than hers.

At this time, their elder brother is in the eyes of others, so it is better not to add snakes to the picture, so as not to be caught by others to leak the news.

After Wu returned, he waited for dawn with his eyes open, and waited until it was dark on this day.

Who knows, in the evening, the fourth elder brother still stayed in the study, and never set foot in the backyard.

Only then did the Wu family react, the courtyard has not been peaceful recently, but the master had an unpleasant quarrel with Fujin last night?

The first thing she thought about was not what the couple were for, but whether she begged for Fujin in vain yesterday?

was so angry and anxious that she almost vomited blood like her own mother.

*

The news of the discord between the fourth elder brother and his wife soon came out.

Lu Pheasant is still the same as before, except to see Xiao Gege, he doesn't go out of the house.

thought in her heart, several of her concubines didn't know when they would come over to watch the play.

At that time, her face will be less powdery, and her lips will be darker, so as to show that she has fallen out of favor under the fourth elder brother because of her own opinions, and everyone is haggard.

But there is no news here in Sifujin, and Yinzhen has been very lively in the upper study these days.

First of all, in the morning of the day, the prince and the eldest brother, who are rarely present in the study, came over to "say hello" to the fourth elder brother.

Yinzhen had to "socialize" with the two brothers.

In the afternoon, riding horses and archery, other elder brothers also lined up to compete with Yinzhen.

knew that Yinzhen was not good at riding and shooting, so he was so anxious that Su Peisheng was busy going back to send a message to Sifujin, but was stopped by the master with his eyes.

Yinzhen, who returned to the study, didn't even have the strength to pick up a pen and practice calligraphy.

The next day, when I went to the study, the words I handed in were criticized by the master by name.

It happened that Kangxi came over at this time, he just glanced at it lightly, and then began to spot check other elder brothers with a cold face.

When everyone looked at it, they saw that Khan Ama had no intention of protecting the fourth elder brother, so he only stopped on the same day, and continued to "get close" to Yinzhen in the future.

If the eldest elder brother is not there, the eighth elder brother, who grew up in Yanxi Palace together, will use the name of his bad handwriting and let the fourth elder brother teach him to write more.

As for the prince who didn't come, the third elder brother Yinzhi didn't rush to Yinzhen when he was riding a horse, leaving him with dust.

At the end of class, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother would come over and laugh at the fourth elder brother, whose robes were dusty.

The brothers were just a little dissatisfied, and they acted separately, without explicit, and they were controlled within the scope of fighting.

The fourth elder brother could only endure and swallow these secret losses.

When I returned to the study, after bandaging the gauze with my hands, I still wrote one hundred and twenty big characters every day.

At this time, Su Peisheng entered the house with a happy face: "Master, Fujin sent a food box." ”

Fourth Elder Brother: "It's all done, right?" ”

Su Peisheng: "Don't worry, the master will send another box back, to ensure that no one will know that we have received it in the study." ”

As early as the day after Yinzhen moved into the study, the food box of the Wulanala clan was sent over without dropping, and sometimes some herbal sachets and plasters were attached.

It's just that the fourth elder brother is still "angry with the four blessings", and the food box naturally can't be accepted directly.

On the first day, Pin'er entered the house and timidly reported: "Fujin, the food box has been returned." ”

Lu Pheasant put down the pen and said lightly: "Open it and take a look." ”

Pin'er "Huh": "Fujin, it turns out ...... The master accepted it, but added something else and sent it back. ”

Lu Pheasant: "What's there?" ”

"It's mutton soup and mung bean cake."
