Chapter 1388 You got into trouble again (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
The brother below is very different in age from Princess Rongxian.
However, the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother all followed the Northern Patrol the year before last year. When the princess came back the year before last, the sisters and brothers also saw her, and Princess Rongxian said a few words to her.
Only the younger brother, Twelveth Prince, has some connection with Princess Rongxian.
Before the twelfth prince entered the study, Princess Rongxian saw more of him.
Now, Princess Rongxian saw that he was quiet and shy, still the same character as when she was a child, so she softened her voice and asked: "Is Mommy in good health? How old is he?"
When she was in the palace a few years ago, Princess Rongxian accompanied the eldest princess to visit Grandma Su Ma.
People in their nineties who are neither deaf nor blind are really lucky.
Although she was born as a slave girl, she followed the Empress Dowager to guide two generations of young emperors, and gained the respect of the royal family.
Not to mention their juniors, even the Queen Mother and the Emperor showed a little more respect to Mammy.
The twelfth elder brother stood up and said: "During the twelfth lunar month last year, my aunt was not feeling well for a while, but she got better later and is fine now. She likes to eat fried tofu."
Princess Rongxian nodded and said, "That's good."
There was a banquet at noon yesterday, and there will be a banquet today too.
But before the banquet started, the Yuan Dining Room sent over some delicious dishes.
Kangxi gave a gift of roasted leg of lamb, a dish of hotpot, a dish of pickles, a dish of flying dragon soup, a dish of chess sesame cakes, a dish of eight-treasure rice, and two jars of royal wine...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall.
Shu Shu came over to have dinner with Madam Uncle, and Madam Uncle said: "There is no banquet for Wanshou Festival tomorrow, so are you still going to Haidian?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "The Imperial Grandmother has arranged for the princess to have a family dinner at noon tomorrow. I have to go there."
The uncle said: "The emperor has spent more and more time in Haidian in the past two years."
In the early years, it was around the Lantern Festival, and then in May and June when the weather was hot, I stayed for a month or two, which added up to three or four months.
Now almost all four festivals of the year are passing by. I spend more than half a year in the garden, but I spend less time in the palace.
The uncle said: "I can't live in my elder brother's place forever. The place is too small. I wonder when the emperor will remember to grant gardens and land..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Even if I think of giving it, I guess it won't be Jiu Ye's turn in the first wave, so wait."
The uncle said: "This summer in the capital is really difficult."
Shu Shu said: "If the Holy Master never comes back, we will move there when the weather gets hot in April..."
Although the garden is not as comfortable as the Prince's Mansion, because there are so many bubbles in Haidian, the temperature in summer is several degrees lower than in the capital.
Because most of the buildings and city walls in the capital are dark, they absorb heat very much and become a big steamer in the summer.

The next day is the Wanshou Festival.
The prince and his brothers went to Changchun Garden early and waited outside the Qingxi Bookstore to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.
The birthday gift was sent to the emperor long ago.
In addition to the palace jointly signed by everyone, there are also birthday gifts similar to those every year.
No one is so stupid as to think that by giving it as a gift from Xiaotangshan Palace, this year’s birthday gift will be saved.
After kowtowing and coming out, Brother Jiu thought about it in his mind and felt that he was at a loss.
One for Xiaotangshan, one for Daliu, and one for Jiangshan. These are three longevity gifts.
When he was distracted, Si Age took his arm and wanted to pull him to a secluded place.
The eldest brother was a step late, looked at the twelfth brother and said, "Follow me!"
The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother live in Haidian. Things have been delayed for the past two days. They have not gone to the Yamen and do not know the situation.
The third elder brother was curious and his eyes flickered.
The fifth elder brother was worried. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Are you in trouble again?"
The seventh elder brother looked around and knew what was going on. He said something to the eldest elder brother and turned around to leave.
The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and thought of the rumors in the capital.
Although the tenth elder brother is not in the capital, there is a summary of the news every day, so he has an idea. He probably understands the ninth elder brother's intentions and is not worried.
Brother Thirteen also returned to the household department yesterday afternoon. He knew about the rumors and was worried.
Who wants to have a bad reputation?
Besides, this designation is an injustice, and Ninth Brother is not short of money.
The ninth elder brother saw the fourth elder brother's sullen face, and the eldest elder brother's expression was also unkind. He almost jumped up and said, "I didn't cause any trouble!"
He didn't do anything, he just waited and watched the excitement.
The front of Qingxi Bookstore was not the place to talk, so the princes still left the small east gate.
Some distance away from the small east gate, the guards could no longer hear the voices, so everyone stopped.
The fourth elder brother asked directly: "Okay, what are you doing to transfer the property of your twelfth brother?"
The eldest brother also said: "Even if there is any inside information, it will not be written down with the transaction money, and it will make a fuss and be talked about by others?"
The third elder brother's eyes widened. Seeing that the fifth elder brother was still confused, he asked the thirteenth elder brother, "What happened? What property was transferred?"
The Thirteenth Brother saw the Third Brother's faintly excited look, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "Yesterday morning, the Ninth Brother arranged for someone to go to the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs to transfer a house and two shops under the name of the Twelfth Brother.
All transferred to my own name."
The twelfth elder brother was confused. After hearing this, he realized that everyone had misunderstood, and said hurriedly: "I asked Brother Ninth to transfer the ownership. The restaurant in Ninth Brother's family is going to open a branch, and it happens to use the shop and the house."
The fourth elder brother still frowned, waiting for the ninth elder brother to answer.
If the twelfth prince’s property is all shops, this would be true, but if he also has a house, what kind of restaurant should he open?
It doesn't sound true.
The gossip outside spread widely, but the princes did not believe it.
Having lost millions of taels of wealth, can you still fancy the twelfth prince’s three melons and two dates?
Regardless of the fourth elder brother or the eldest elder brother, they disliked the rough handling of the ninth elder brother's matter and asked others to talk about it.
Now is the time when the twelfth elder brother is about to get married. If the Yue family really thinks that he is a little elder brother who can bully everyone, then he will be treated with contempt.
Brother Ninth said from the side: "The twelfth brother is right, he is opening a restaurant, two branches of Baiweiju, and a private restaurant. Don't worry, everyone, don't take advantage of the twelfth brother. Let's go back to my brother's shop outside."
Li Xun is about to turn around, and he won't let his twelfth brother suffer."
The eldest brother said: "Since it's a replacement, can't we do it all at once? It's said that it's evil outside, and you have become a black-hearted brother. Wait, the censor's impeachment will be released tomorrow. Today is the Longevity Festival, so we must
It’s time to arrive now!”
The fourth brother urged: "Transfer a few properties as soon as possible, otherwise this gossip will not be quelled!"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No! Let's wait for two months. If you switch now, others will still gossip. If I am greedy for the arrangement and will be cowarded later, it will only make the gossip even worse."
The fifth elder brother said: "Then why didn't you think carefully before transferring? It was you alone who made the decision. If my brothers and sisters knew about it, they would stop me and they wouldn't do it so openly."
Brother Jiu didn't deny it and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Let them talk about it."
The eldest brother said: "But isn't this just looking for trouble? It's just a replacement, what's the point of transferring the ownership?"
The fourth elder brother said: "That's inappropriate. It's a wedding gift from the Wanliuha family to the twelfth brother. It shouldn't have been replaced. It was just rented before."
The two of them believed that Ninth Prince opened a restaurant because the menu of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was displayed there, and the business of the currently opened restaurant was also booming.
The third elder brother was almost listening. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Ninth elder brother, it's true. If the shop doesn't help me, tell me. I still have a few idle shops and the servants will take care of them. The business will be dead."
.”
It would be great if you could use the shop to directly invest in shares. Even if you don't buy shares, the business of opening a restaurant will be good and the rent will not be reduced.
Everyone was talking at a loss, but the eighth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother did not speak.
The Thirteenth Brother asked the Tenth Brother in a low voice: "How many branches will the Ninth Brother want to open? I also have two shops here..."
Brother Ten said: "I'm not in the capital right now, so I don't know Brother Ninth's arrangements."
The eighth prince was listening, frowning slightly.
Although there are many profitable properties under the name of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, such as silver buildings, restaurants, pastry shops, rouge shops, etc., these are all properties under the name of Dong E's family.
The ninth elder brother has transferred the twelfth elder brother's shop to his own name and wants to open a restaurant with great fanfare. This is too eye-catching.
As a prince, he conducts business and competes with the people for profit.
This will also arouse criticism in retrospect.
The fifth elder brother understood the cause and effect, and also thought about the shop, and said to the ninth elder brother: "Whose family doesn't have ten or eight shops? Why do you want to talk to the twelfth brother? You can't be an elder brother like this. I'll pick a few later.
Pass it on to your twelfth brother!"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Okay Fifth Brother, please don't get confused. This is adding new words to others. In that case, others should say that you wiped my ass!"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
The fifth elder brother showed his disgust and said: "That's disgusting!"
There were so many people and it was hard for Brother Jiu to talk about Guangshanku, so he said: "Brothers, just live in peace. The men of the Eight Banners have nothing to do. When the marriage decree comes out in a few days, no one will mention this.
Don't talk to them right now."
When the fourth elder brother met the ninth elder brother, he always tried to avoid it, but finally thought of Guang Shanku.
He knew that caring would lead to chaos, and he was a little impulsive.
These three properties were all given together by entrustment. After thinking about it, he somewhat understood the reason why Brother Jiu changed his hands.
This is because he cares for his younger brother and wants to preserve these properties at the expense of his own reputation.
So honest.
The current atmosphere in the capital is too bad. People are gossiping about royal matters, so they have to find a way to curb it.
Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, the eldest brother glanced at the twelfth brother and said, "Twelfth brother, what do you think?"
Brother Twelve said: "I listen to Brother Ninth."
The eighth elder brother was watching and couldn't help but glance at the twelfth elder brother.
The little elder brothers in the back, one by one, are all close to the ninth elder brother.
The third elder brother is full of regrets.
The twelfth elder brother is also the first to get the moon. As long as Lao Jiu is so relaxed, the replacement property will only be more or less.
How come I haven’t encountered such a good thing...

Here in the North Garden, the Queen Mother hosted a banquet for Princess Rongxian.
In addition to the royal family, the princes and princes of the clan also arrived.
The banquet given to Princess Kejing last year was also of the same scale.
Both of them are Heshuo princesses, so it’s hard to distinguish between them, so I’ll follow last year’s regular posts.
There are many people, so everyone just makes up the number.
Shu Shu followed her sister-in-law, looking docile and well-behaved.
But, what is the hot news these days?
It's news about the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Fujin, a relative of every clan, had to secretly look at Shu Shu...
