Fragrance Returned

King Kang said, "The eldest brother is able to draw a sword to help outsiders, but he tolerates being bullied. It is unreasonable. I remember when I was a child, the fifth brother grabbed a handful of sand and threw it on your head, and you didn't dare to say anything except crying. Oh, and I cried and peed my pants.”

King Kang deliberately angered King Duan, and also instigated the relationship between King Duan and King Ji.

Prince Duan was not irritated, but looked at him and said calmly, "A child without a mother is... pitiful. Not only will I not treat my brothers like that, I will never treat my servants like that."

These words not only made King Kang feel guilty, but also made the other two princes feel guilty.

King Ji said to King Kang, "Brother Four Emperors, I remember that you beat the eldest brother the most when you were a child..."

There was a big age difference between King Jing and the three of them. Apart from not wanting to talk to King Duan and laughing when others bullied King Duan, they had no other bad blood.

He said hurriedly, "I'm happy today, brothers, please don't mention unhappy things again. The past is past and the present is past."

King Ji had already seen that King Duan was not only not stupid, but also smart and not easy to mess with. I remembered that I had bullied him when I was young and wanted to improve the relationship.

He personally poured a glass of wine for Prince Duan and said with a smile, "Brother, my brother was not sensible when he was young. If you have offended me, please don't worry about it. In fact, it is not my brother who wants to do that. It is really a high courtesy. Encourage me from behind. My brother is wrong and I will punish myself with three cups of wine."

Gao Feng is gone, everything can be blamed on him.

After the brothers finished their glasses of wine, King Ji called in four beauties to add to the fun. One was sitting with a pipa playing and singing, and three beauties each leaned next to a prince.

King Duan pushed the beauty aside and said, "Stay away."

His tone was rare and he didn't stutter. In the past, several princes had fun together, but King Duan didn't like the approach of beautiful women.

The brothers first thought that he was stupid and didn't know the pleasure of beauty, so they let him go if he didn't want to. Now that I know he is not stupid, why doesn't he still like beauties?

King Ji said boldly, "You think she is not beautiful enough? Then change her to another one."

King Duan said, "I don't... like this."

Only then did King Kang remember that King Duan's three children were all the children of his concubine, and he sneered, "The eldest brother's children were all born to his sister-in-law. The eldest brother has a deep love for his sister-in-law."

King Ji and King Jing were also curious about this.

How did Princess Duan capture his soul despite her mediocre appearance?

King Duan said solemnly, "I don't want my children to... suffer the same suffering as I have suffered, and I will not have children... from concubines."

This was difficult for others to accept. King Kang and King Ji both had concubine children, and King Jing's concubine and concubine were both pregnant.

King Ji waved his hand and drove those beauties out.

King Jing laughed and took the topic elsewhere, "Come on, let's have a drink. I heard that my father wanted my eldest brother to go to the Ministry of War for training, so the eldest brother took the initiative to go to the Qintian Prison?"

According to the regulations of the Dali Dynasty, every prince or prince will go to a certain yamen in the court to gain experience. If he is not in charge of specific matters, he can express his own opinions or report them to the emperor. The minister or minister has the final say whether to adopt them or not.

The modern equivalent of a consultant.

The prince who likes to take care of things can go to the Yamen as often as he wants, and the prince who doesn't like to take care of things is fine not to go.

If the descendants of the county king are capable, they can also serve as officials in the court.

Today, King Kang is in the Ministry of Husbandry, King Ji is in the Ministry of Officials, King Jing is in the Ministry of Works, the previous King of Qi is in the Ministry of War, and Gao Feng is in the cabinet.

Gao Feng and King Qi fell, leaving two fertile positions in the cabinet and the Ministry of War.

Prince Duan refused to go to the important military department for training, which also made the other princes heave a sigh of relief. He was telling the emperor, and he was also telling them that although he had been holding back for more than thirty years, he had no intention of seizing the throne.

Prince Duan said, "I am not interested in court affairs, but I find it a lot of fun to practice magic every day. Believe it or not, it will rain tonight."

…

When Xun Xiang came to Xun Mansion, she first went to the main courtyard to visit Mrs. Xun.

Xun Qianli and Ding Lichun went to those houses early in the morning to apologize.

Mrs. Xun first put Xun Xiang into her arms and called her "baby meat" a few times before talking about the troubles at home.

The main reason was that Xun Shi was looking for trouble, so he sent Xun Qianli or Xun Yiqing to Zhuangzi every ten and a half days. He could not leave him alone, and he did not dare to tell his ancestors.

Xun Shi made his two cousins ​​​​pregnant and wanted to have a child. But the two roommates failed to live up to expectations. One accidentally fell and slipped, and the other was greedy and ate indiscriminately and slipped...

Logically speaking, it is not easy to say that in front of an unmarried girl, but Xunxiang is not a simple boudoir girl, and she will not hide many family matters from her.

Xunxiang secretly cursed the shameless old man for ruining a girl like this.

She fully believed that the two flat tires were not accidental.

Mrs. Xunda added, "Guo Wen wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that his wife is pregnant. Guo Wen is one year younger than Yitang, and Yitang has to wait another half a year to get married. I'm worried.

"Guo Wu is sixteen and engaged. He cannot take the imperial examination and has not gone to a private school since this year. Guo Wu likes porcelain painting, and Guo Wen specially invited a famous teacher to guide him..."

Gu's three grandchildren not only changed their names, but also changed their surnames to their biological mother's surname Guo.

Xun Yi's name was changed to Guo Wen, Xun Yizhi was changed to Guo Wu, and Xun Feng was changed to Guo Lan.

Guo Wenshang married his daughter-in-law at the end of the year. I heard that her daughter-in-law is gentle and polite. My father-in-law is a scholar and runs a private school in the county.

Guo Wen and Guo Wu could see the situation clearly from beginning to end, and they wanted to disappear into oblivion.

Xun Xiang asked again, "How is Xun Feng?"

Xunxiang still used to be called Xunfeng.

Mrs. Xun said, "Lan Yatou is much more honest than when she first left Beijing. She doesn't make any noise anymore. She plays the piano whenever she has nothing to do. She is very skilled in playing the piano and can compose her own music. It is said that many admirers come to her door to play the piano behind the curtain.

"If Guo Lan thinks she plays well, she will discuss the piano with her... Guo Wen and Guo Wu can't control her even if they are angry. Huh, after all this time, his strong temper has not changed.

“My father wrote letters to the county magistrates there, saying that these children were close friends and relatives and asked them to take care of them, otherwise it would not be certain that Guo Lan would be robbed.

"As strong as you want, as long as she doesn't look for trouble. However, she was unwilling to get married several times. Either she disliked the younger generation's low family status, or she disliked the younger generation's lack of good looks."

Mrs. Xun sneered twice, and then said, "Haha, that's right. What she originally set her sights on was the grandson who was unparalleled in beauty and both civil and military... My master said that if Xiangxiang is not found back,

"If Lan Yatou is allowed to follow that guy and act like a fool, not only the second uncle and Yi Bo will be in trouble, but also all of us will be involved. Look at Xiyang and the Shen family...sigh."

Xun Xiang was a little surprised. Xun Feng got to this point by relying on the piano? If it is more elegant, it can be called a refined scholar or a master. If you are vulgar, you will be as low as a coward.

Xun Feng is like this, still competing with Xun Xiang. Xunxiang could become a famous person in the Li Dynasty with her paintings, and Xunfeng would become a famous person with her music. (End of chapter)
