My father-in-law is Kangxi

The eighth elder brother just wanted to have a good relationship with the ninth elder brother in Zhenglan Qilun, so he no longer wanted to be humble and humble.

Ring-hooking is purely for fun, for young and old to kill time; shooting money requires real skills.

But with the eldest brother Zhuyu in front, no matter how good others are, they are still far behind.

The Eighth Prince was wondering, so he took his brother-in-law to the cousins ​​in Prince Gong's Mansion, and asked them to continue trapping, and then went to the other side to look at the money.

The third elder brother was also watching carefully. There were so many finger pulls for making lottery tickets, all of which were used daily. How could he miss them?

Seeing the eighth elder brother coming over, the third elder brother smiled and said: "Eighth brother, how about we follow Uncle Wang's example and compete with him?"

The eighth elder brother looked at the third elder brother, knowing that the third elder brother had not touched these things since he was a child.

It is because he is stingy that he feels sorry for the money and does not like to participate in such activities.

But now he takes the initiative to mention this, is this because he is sure that his archery skills are worse than his?

The eighth prince's eyes were a little dark.

He had only been "recuperating" for a few months, and before others said anything, his brothers began to look down on him.

The third elder brother coughed and said: "Isn't this brother the king of the county? The bodyguards and guards will also be added, and it will be convenient to prepare a few more horses..."

This is also about betting on horses.

There is always a shortage of horses in the capital, and Mongolian horses from outside the country come here. A mature horse costs three to forty taels of silver.

The third elder brother said, stretched out his hand and said: "Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang are betting on geldings, one or two. We can just use ordinary geldings, five!"

The eighth elder brother chuckled and said: "Since the third brother is interested, the younger brother should obey..."

The third elder brother mentioned this because he came here early in the morning and the first test shot failed, so he practiced for a while; secondly, he felt that the eighth elder brother was too lazy to memorize words. .

But seeing the calm look of the eighth elder brother, the third elder brother was worried about missing something. Seeing the ninth elder brother nearby, he said: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, follow the first bet and bet on the third brother. Don't watch in vain!"

The third elder brother performed well today. He was very enthusiastic, helping with things inside and outside, and he also acted like an elder brother. The ninth elder brother appreciated it and said: "Then I will follow your instructions. I will bet on you, the third elder brother." Win, it’s also five horses!”

The third elder brother said "haha" twice, feeling confident.

If the Eighth Prince wants to stand up, he has to decide who he should face. If he faces Lao Jiu, he will definitely not be able to stand up.

The tenth elder brother said from the side: "Then I will also bet on the third elder brother to win..."

The third elder brother smiled even more heartily and said, "Then let me borrow the good words from my tenth brother!"

The Xinke next to him looked at Brother Ba, a little confused.

Didn't you say that Brother Eight is popular?

Why do I feel that none of these princes are too close to the eighth prince today?

They were familiar with the Eighth Prince, and they naturally favored their clan members. However, there was a bet between two princes in front of them. There was no room for them to get involved, so they could only encourage the Eighth Prince.

Although the fifth elder brother didn't like the eighth elder brother, he knew that the situation before him was not right.

It's really like three brothers to one. People who don't know better think that the eighth prince is being bullied.

The eighth prince has always been good at pretending, and when he looks back pitifully, it seems that something is wrong with others.

They are all a group of brothers who have grown up. They have used this trick in the study room in the early years. Now they want to use the same trick again?

Also, in front of the emperor, the emperor was pitiful and could not see the sibling fighting. From what he heard, he should have thought that the host, the ninth elder brother, was in trouble.

The fifth elder brother said: "Then I'll bet on the eighth brother to win..."

The fourth elder brother who spoke out at about the same time as him also took the eighth elder brother into custody.

The situation immediately became three to three.

Seeing this, the eighth elder brother smiled at the two brothers, but he was a little disappointed in his heart.

It’s okay for the fifth elder brother. Is the fourth elder brother helping himself or the ninth elder brother?

The eighth prince was not sure for a moment.

Seeing the start here, the people on the other side of the circle also came over.

The third elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother's luck and wished they could roll up their sleeves and chat with them.

Foolish people have foolish luck, and the third elder brother is afraid that his good luck will be abducted by the fifth elder brother.

The seventh elder brother is no longer here, and the eldest elder brother has also gone back to the living room. Now there are also the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.

The third elder brother looked at the two younger brothers and said: "You two, don't be idle, also choose one side and make a bet..."

Brother Jiu protected his younger brother and said: "They live in the palace, and the horses in their names are all good horses that are respected outside. Each person can bet on one, and the winner will be rewarded with three geldings!"

The third elder brother nodded and said: "Any number is fine. It's rare for brothers to be so complete. They just join in the fun..."

The thirteenth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and asked him to choose first.

The twelfth elder brother said without hesitation: "I'll take care of the third brother."

He didn't like the third brother, but he didn't like the eighth brother even more.

Not only because of being close to Jiu Age, Aiwujiwu, but also because of himself.

He just doesn't like to talk, but a prince is a prince, and because the nobles live in the back hall of Changchun Palace, the Eighth Prince bothers him by talking in front of him.

The Thirteenth Brother smiled and said: "Then I will take care of Bage..."

Although the eighth elder brother was vain, the character of the third elder brother displeased him even more.

Besides, there are eight people at the moment. Four to four is just right, but five to three will make it easier for people to talk.

In front of outsiders, it can't really turn into a brawl between princes.

The eighth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother and didn't feel relieved.

Although among the brothers, he had quarrels with the third elder brother and the ninth elder brother, but really speaking, the person who had really affected his dignity in the imperial court in the past few years was the thirteenth elder brother.

The Thirteenth Prince has completely replaced his previous identity and become one of the most trusted princes in the imperial court.

In the blink of an eye, a lot of horses were staked.

The third elder brother had practiced before and was a little nervous now. He said to the eighth elder brother: "The eighth elder brother comes first..."

There are several bows prepared beside them, including five-power bows, seven-power bows, nine-power bows, and ten-power bows.

The eighth prince had originally wanted to show off his archery skills to Zheng Lanqi's clan members, but now that the prince was involved in making a bet, it became even more difficult to lose.

He looked at the third elder brother and said: "In order to keep the elders and younger ones in order, the third elder brother should come first."

The third elder brother blinked, picked up the Qili Bow, took the arrows, and shot two arrows in succession.

Both arrows hit, one for one coin and one for the fifth coin.

The distance between five coins is about one foot.

The two sides shook, even if it did not affect the second position, it was still dazzling.

The third elder brother had already taken out the third arrow and shot the money in the middle, and he also hit it.

This is where I learn from my eldest brother. The eldest brother was chosen in this order just now.

In this way, three of the five coins are shaking, which is dazzling.

For the fourth arrow, the waiting time was a little longer than before, but the force was too strong, causing the copper coin to tilt and the arrow to fall to the ground.

Everyone looked at it and felt it was a pity. The third brother was not affected and continued to shoot the fifth arrow.

bingo.

Four out of five shots.

Still a hanging target, this is already the second best result today.

Corresponding to the prepared lottery number, it is the old ivory thumb ring.

The third elder brother put down his bow, plucked through several old ivory wrenches in the tray next to him, picked the one that was easier on the hand, put it on directly, then looked at the eighth elder brother with a smile, and said: "Hey, busy. I'm busy with errands and I'm slack at work, so I'm sure I can't compare to my eighth brother..."

Brother Ba tightened his grip on the bow and already regretted it.

I don’t know whether it is true or not that the third elder brother is slacking off. He has been recovering from illness for three months but has not touched the bow.

Or even earlier, I had no intention of practicing archery.

He had accepted the "fight" from the third elder brother before, in order to show off his attitude and let people know that his brothers were unkind and disrespectful towards him, but in the end, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother broke up.

Behind him was the Thirteenth Prince, and the battle between the princes ended in a four-to-four draw.

In this way, in front of everyone, everyone can see his true ability.

The distant target has been cleared.

The money is still shaking slightly.

The eighth prince is in trouble.

The people watching the fun nearby were chatting away.

Prince Baotai's voice was loud and he said: "The emperor has praised Ba Ye's archery skills since he was a child..."

The second elder brother of Anjun Prince also followed suit and said: "My Ama often praises me at home, saying that when the emperor went on tour a few years ago, he must have the eighth master in his shooting performance..."

Many Zhenglan Banner clans also agreed.

If the eighth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were to confront each other, everyone would shut up, but when it came to confronting the third elder brother, there would be a distinction between inside and outside.

The Eighth Prince was accustomed to this kind of attention-grabbing situation in his early years. Now his expression remains unchanged, but he feels a little uneasy in his heart.

This is a floating target, not a standing target. Can I really hit five out of five shots?

Immediately, he thought of the results of his third brother, fourth middle school...

I have a chance to lose. In that case, it will be a draw and no one will laugh.

As for the fifth middle school, it was too ostentatious.

Now the prince is like having a seizure. He is either facing this prince or that prince. He hides behind his eldest brother and has room for advancement and retreat.

Brother Ninth has no patience. He is already a little impatient now and wants to urge him immediately.

I have been standing here for half a cup of tea. Do you want to cum or not?

The third elder brother was also paying attention to the eighth elder brother's expression. Seeing that he was very calm, he took out his pocket watch and said: "Old Eighth, my five arrows just took half a cup of tea. If you are too slow, Being sure is sure, but it also wastes time."

The eighth prince pointed the target with his chin and said: "I didn't stop just now..."

Third Brother nodded and said: "Well, I'm fine now, but I don't want to wait for a while, I still have to connect."

The eighth prince nodded and said: "Yes."

As he said this, he drew an arrow and aimed it not at the two coins on the sides, but at the money in the middle.

With a "swish" sound, the arrow flew over and hit the square hole in the middle of the money.

However, the same problem as Third Brother's fourth arrow occurred. The force was too strong, and the remaining force caused the money to stand up, and the arrow in the square hole also fell to the ground.

There was a "click" sound.

Everyone was silent.

If you want to miss the target, there are many people ahead of you.

It's just that the Eighth Prince is well-known and a prince with both civil and military skills.

Seeing this, the third elder brother raised his eyebrows and encouraged: "It's okay. I'm just not used to this new target. It will be fine next..."

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other.

The third child behaves differently. At this moment, he is actually not having fun directly, but rather acting like an older brother.

The third elder brother has never been stupid.

It's just that when it comes to money, it's easy to be stupid and stupid.

At this moment, the third elder brother also knew that today was a good time for "brothers, friends and brothers to respect each other".

Those five horses are a great deal, and it’s not tiring to say a few nice words.

Moreover, in full view of the public, the news soon spread, and there was no way to hide it from the emperor.

He puffed up his chest. He didn't have the name of the eldest brother, but he was the eldest brother.

Compared with the careless and reckless eldest brother, he, as the elder brother, is the good brother of the royal family.

Brother Ba raised his bow, his wrist feeling a little heavy.

He had a bad feeling.

If you fail once, there will be no chance of failure a second time.

Otherwise, all the remaining arrows will be hit, and the third brother will be defeated.

When the time comes, the prince of the Eight Banners will definitely compare him with the third elder brother.

The eighth prince's mouth was dry, the voice in his ears was a little distant, sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became heavier.

The third elder brother was standing by and saw something was wrong, but did not speak to stop him.

It was true that he chose to ask for a fight, but who made the eighth prince agree?

The fourth elder brother also paid attention to the eighth elder brother and noticed that his expression was different and his face turned pale. He couldn't help but worry: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, so it's hard to waste your energy..."

At this point, thinking that the eighth prince has always been very strong, he was afraid that he would not give up the competition, so he said: "I will wait until I feel better again, and then I will continue the competition..."

The eighth elder brother was struggling in his heart, should he give up temporarily according to the fourth elder brother's words, or should he break the bowstring?

He couldn't continue anyway. He was not confident that the remaining four arrows would hit.

When the third elder brother heard what the fourth elder brother said, he felt unhappy. Just when he was about to speak, the eighth elder brother had already put down his arms, showing a bit of weakness, and said: "It's because I don't know myself. I thought that if the third elder brother was interested, I would accompany him for a round." , still reluctant..."

After hearing this, the third elder brother smiled a little.

Coward!

He's still as fake as ever, obviously he can't compare with himself, but he still tries to put a premium on his face!

But at this moment, Prince Baotai, who was friends with the eighth elder brother, the second elder brother of Anjun Prince, and others were all surrounding the eighth elder brother, and they were all talking about their concern. The third elder brother couldn't catch up and compete. Otherwise it would appear that he is unfriendly to his younger brother.

He became irritated and complained to the ninth, tenth, and twelfth elder brothers: "I let your bet go in vain..."
