Chapter 1497 What Kind of Man Do You Want?
He is an elder brother, so he can't take the initiative to invite favors like a concubine. This is not what a man does.
Although he has a thick skin, he still wants this face.
In this way, he can only display his filial piety that has nowhere to rest.
Let Huang Ama be moved by his filial piety.
Or, would Huang Ama not bear to hear how lonely Huang Erniang was said to be?
Sure enough, after hearing what the second elder brother said, the fourth master slightly opened his thin lips, and asked lightly, "How's your empress' mother's illness?"
"Emperor Niang was injured by an arrow during her southern tour. She lost a lot of blood and was weak due to exhaustion along the way, which caused the wind and cold. The imperial doctor said that Huang Erniang needs to take good care of her body and strengthen her physique. Already." Big brother said truthfully.
He is filial and decent at the same time.
No matter how much he worried about Huang Erniang, he would not be too disappointed by crying on New Year's Eve.
Besides, a man does not flick his tears lightly!
Anyway, he was only telling the truth, and he didn't ask Huang Ama to visit Huang Erniang like those concubines.
However, the concubines in the harem still smelled a hint of competition for favor from the second elder brother's words.
But with Yigui being so bold, Second Elder Brother's mediocrity seems nothing.
It is human nature for children to be filial to their mothers.
After hearing what the second elder brother said, fourth master glanced down slightly.
Then, he met the second brother's eyes.
This kid's eyes, very much like his empress's mother, rolled around, very agile.
"I know."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and signaled the second elder brother to sit down.
The second elder brother said what should be said, and knew enough was enough.
Su Peisheng at the side glanced at Fourth Master secretly, seeing the emperor's deep expression, he didn't know what he was thinking.
But he could tell that the emperor more or less listened to what the second elder brother said.
The queen's shoulder injury was blocked for the emperor.
The fatigue along the way was also due to the development of artillery and the emperor's work.
In the final analysis, the empress's frailty is more or less due to the emperor's relationship.
After half an hour, Fourth Master got up: "Today's New Year's banquet ends here."
After throwing down such a sentence, he left the table first.
Leaving a group of concubines looking at his stalwart back.
After the fourth master left, the concubines gave Mrs. Yi a hard look, and then went back to their respective palaces.
The eldest brother and the second elder brother took the fifth elder brother to Ruoyin's Yongshou Palace to accompany her to watch the new year as in previous years.
It's just that Ruoyin didn't stand in the hall waiting for them this year.
After eating dinner alone, she went into the inner room and leaned on the bed.
With a gentle voice, Banmei was holding a story book and telling her a story.
Rushuang Ruxia sat at the rosewood half-round table by the bed, eating melon seeds and peanuts while listening to Banmei's storytelling.
As the chief eunuch of Yongshou Palace, after Li Fukang distributed the purse prepared by Ruoyin to the court ladies and eunuchs below, he chatted with the night watch servants outside and bet around.
It's not a big game, starting with only a copper coin, what we want is this lively atmosphere.
Because the queen has spoken, it's New Year's Eve, although they don't have a holiday, they don't have to be too strict.
You can have some proper entertainment.
Anyway, the emperor wouldn't come here, only the queen empress is the biggest in the harem, and the empress has already spoken, so they can't play anymore.
When the three elder brothers came to Yongshou Palace, Banmei was talking in the notebook.
All the stories are collected from the folk, some are about brotherhood, some are about family, and of course, some are about love.
It's just that in this feudal Qing Dynasty, there were very few happy love stories, and most of them were poignant.
In the beginning, Brother San still followed Obedient Ben.
But the eldest brother is a rigorous and steady person, so he probably thinks such words are meaningless.
Moreover, a bunch of women are here, as a steady boy, he still made room for the women and went to the hall to watch the new year.
The second elder brother is very interested in this kind of script that he has never heard of.
But his main concern is whether Huang Ama will come to Yongshou Palace tonight.
So, when he saw the elder brother go to the hall, he also went to the hall.
A pair of eyes were still looking at the door of the hall eagerly, as if eagerly looking forward to something.
In this way, only the villain, Fifth Brother, sat in Ruoyin's arms and followed her in the obedient book.
The elder brothers went to the hall, and Ruoyin followed them.
Sometimes, the whole family doesn't have to get together to play together.
Anyway, there is a generation gap between adults and children, so it is impossible to play together.
Plus men and women have different preferences.
As long as they came to pay her respects often.
In this way, she was in the inner room and they were in the hall. While watching the new year together, they had their own space and a feeling of companionship.
The fifth elder brother in Ruoyin's arms is still young, and he can only understand the outline of what Ban Mei Nian said, but he doesn't know the mystery of the story.
After Banmei finished reading a story, she took a sip of the honey water that Rushuang handed her over, turned a page of the book, and continued reading.
What I read is the story of Du Shiniang sinking a treasure chest in anger during the Ming Dynasty.
It is about Du Shiniang, a famous prostitute in the capital, and Li Jia, a son of a rich family, fall in love with each other.
The two tried to find a way to redeem Du Shiniang and return home.
Du Shiniang took a box with her when she left. Li Jia asked her what was in the box, but Du Shiniang smiled and did not answer.
Later, Li Jia was afraid of his parents because of the entanglement of the CD, so he sold Du Shiniang to the second generation of the rich family, Sun Fu, for a thousand gold and silver.
Du Shiniang was so angry that she scolded Li Jia and Sun Fu, and threw herself into the river to die holding the treasure chest in despair.
"This Li Jia is really a heartless man. If he redeemed Du Shiniang, he should be responsible to him. How could he just sell him? Why should he sell someone? Who is Du Shiniang? Parents." Rushuang was furious.
Ruxia followed suit: "That's right! Anyway, for the three hundred taels of silver redeemed, Du Shiniang paid out one hundred and fifty taels by himself, and he still borrowed the one hundred and fifty taels."
"It's just like a rich son, a beggar is more or less the same, Du Shiniang is such a good person, what kind of man do you want, it's better to stay in a brothel."
Banmei has a delicate mind, and she is as calm as Shuang Ruxia.
Therefore, Banmei disagreed and said: "All acquaintances are fate, and everything has a causal relationship. Du Shiniang knew that Li Jia was cowardly by nature and was afraid of her father's opposition, so she dared not agree to marry her. Time to wake up."
"But since she left with her, she has to accept her fate."
Ruoyin said indifferently: "Du Shiniang is beautiful, enthusiastic, kind-hearted, and despises money and loves righteousness. She has a good heart and is devoted to Li Jia. What she loves is people, not money. It's a pity that she met a heartless man."
"Your Majesty, how do you know that she doesn't love money?" Ruxia asked.
Ruoyin: "It's said in the book that she saw Li Jia's "the shorter the hand, the hotter the heart", which shows his true love for Li Jia. She has a good idea and has accumulated a treasure chest. She hopes that in the future when she polishes her man's clothes, Weng Gu can do it." Forgive me for a lot of painstaking efforts to achieve my marriage, but before the silver in the treasure chest has time to spend, the marriage will be broken."
