Chapter 1527: Those who are close to ink are black (wowling and asking for monthly votes)
Brother Jiu coughed twice and said very experiencedly: "No one in a wealthy family lacks anything. All they want is their affection, especially the mother-in-law. Seeing that the son-in-law only likes her, it would be better to be more sincere. Nowadays,
Pastry, seasonal fruits, etiquette is more important than affection, this is the time. If you go there and buy gifts in a serious manner, it will probably be shocking."
It's not a year or a festival, but if you treat people with courtesy, why don't they murmur?
My thirteenth brother has also been on duty for a year.
Before going on a mission, he had gone out with his retinue several times and knew the prices outside.
Nowadays, the seasonal fruits in the capital are persimmons, big white pears and dates, which cost a few cents per pound.
As for pastries, the cheap ones cost more than ten or twenty cents per catty, while the expensive ones cost around thirty cents.
He hesitated and said, "Isn't it too simple?"
Brother Jiu remembered something and said, "Have you eaten half of your basket of oranges? How many days have it been?"
People are cheap when they leave their hometown, and things are expensive when they leave their hometown.
In the capital, Ninth Brother's oranges are not the only one, but they are also available in the market and are priceless, so they are not very easy to buy.
The thirteenth elder brother said sarcastically: "I sent some to Chuxiu Palace, and gave the rest to Honghui and Hongshu..."
Except for the twelfth prince who had a basket of oranges, the rest of the yard had half a basket.
Children like to eat snacks, so eat them quickly.
Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow I will bring you two baskets of oranges, and you can add a few bags of glutinous rice."
The thirteenth elder brother smiled and said: "Then my brother will not be polite to you."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Don't be nagging, it's not a valuable thing at all."
After teaching his younger brother, the ninth elder brother went home with the tenth elder brother.
Brother Thirteen still has to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the holy driver will not go on patrol in a few days, so he plans to go to Malhan's house tomorrow morning.
It's not good to be an uninvited guest. You have to send someone a message to ask if Mrs. Malhan is free tomorrow.
After leaving Xihua Gate and getting on the carriage, Brother Jiu remembered something and said, "Is Malhan a member of Zhang Ying's generation? I met him once and his face was full of wrinkles."
The tenth elder brother said: "The man who became an official in the eleventh year of Shunzhi is nearly seventy years old and is several years older than Zhang Ying."
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Is Zhaojia Gege an old girl? My father-in-law is really not young anymore. Is Thirteen's marriage at a disadvantage? It's not a help!"
The tenth prince said: "What should be looked at is the relationship with the prince. Suo'etu is gone, Isan Azhi is in office, and among the princelings, Malhan is now the leader."
There are seven daughters of Malhan, the sixth son-in-law is the son of Isan'a and the grandson of Soetu, and the seventh daughter is pointed out to the thirteenth brother. This is also the reason.
There is no Princess of the same age as Thirteenth Prince in the Hesheli family, otherwise Thirteenth Prince's Fujin should have chosen someone from the Hesheli family.
Brother Ninth felt very complicated and said: "Does Khan Ama really love Brother Thirteen, or is he pretending to love Brother Thirteen? Why would so many noble families point out such a family of wives?"
The tenth prince thought for a while and said: "Marhan is old and can become an official at seventy. Khan Amash wants to ask the thirteenth prince to take the lead..."
The ninth elder brother curled his lips and said: "I still feel sorry for the prince, and I don't want to think about it. The age difference between the prince and the thirteenth elder brother is more than ten years. When the prince went to the study, the thirteenth elder brother had not started studying yet, and the brothers had no contact with each other.
If there is any affection, don’t let it be just wishful thinking of Khan Amma!”
The tenth elder brother said: "The thirteenth elder brother is younger and has no brothers from the same mother. This is also an opportunity for him."
The ninth elder brother whispered: "I have discovered that Khan Ama not only loves his son, but also deceives him... Now you are promoting the thirteenth elder brother, and don't let the thirteenth elder brother fall into the trap in the future..."
The 10th elder brother said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. If the 13th elder brother had the temperament of the 12th elder brother, Khan Ama would not force him..."

When they got home, the ninth elder brother chatted with Shu Shu and started talking about the thirteenth elder brother who came to ask for money today.
"Haha, the fourth brother always loves to give advice to his younger brother, this time it's time for him to give in..."
Shu Shu shook her head, this is a good brother, he just loves to watch his brothers have fun.
The Thirteenth Fujin was also a badly written character in later novels. He gave birth to seven or eight children, and accompanied the Thirteenth Brother through thick and thin. He followed Malhan after him, and he also lived a long life.
Brother Ninth said with a bit of envy: "Thirteen is smarter than twelve, and he acts appropriately. He has the strengths of the third brother, but does not have the shortcomings of the third brother. Khan Amar likes such a son."
The prerequisite is that you have both civil and military skills. Whether you take it to Mongolia or Jiangnan, you can do it.
The relationship between the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother was good, but he felt sorry for the tenth elder brother and said: "If it weren't for the drag of his background, when the third elder brother goes down, Khan Ama should have chosen the tenth elder brother."
Shu Shu said: "It's a blessing in disguise, but it's a blessing. If you really want the tenth elder brother to help Yuqing Palace, the tenth elder brother may not be happy."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right, they are all the same princes. Even if they want to be slaves, they will be late rather than early. They can still be free for many years. Why do you want to see his face so early? Don't say it's Lao Shi, it's me.
, not surprising either!”
Shu Shu felt that the position of the "Wise King" was unlucky, with Prince Yu in front of him and the eighth prince behind him.
So it's really not a bad thing if he wasn't selected as a candidate for the Wise King.
Even the Thirteenth Brother, who has been dormant for more than ten years after deposing the crown prince, came up from this candidate for the virtuous king.
The arms that were trained for the prince were useless, and the thirteenth elder brother was left idle.

The next day, Brother Jiu packed two baskets of oranges, and two baskets of cucumbers and cabbages, and took them directly to the Yamen.
The palace already had a sufficient supply of Dongzi vegetables, so these two baskets were also sent as a gift to the Thirteenth Prince.
Thirteenth Brother sent someone to deliver the message yesterday afternoon. He made an appointment to go there today and went directly to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Looking at the cucumber with thorns on top, the thirteenth brother said: "I heard that there are more dongzi vegetables outside this year, but the price is still high, even more expensive than meat."
Brother Jiu said: "Don't just eat it with the sauce, this sliced shabu-shabu has the taste of green bamboo shoots, it's fresh!"
The Thirteenth Brother was moved after hearing this and said, "The Dongzi dishes served in the palace also include cucumbers. I'll try boiling them later."
Brother Jiu said: "Don't be too old, just count to three and pick it up. It's sweet and tastes better than dipping it in sauce..."
Brother Thirteen nodded and took note.
He had to go out, so he didn't delay any longer and asked the eunuchs to carry oranges and dongzi vegetables out of the House of Internal Affairs.
As for the pastry, he did not send someone to buy it from outside. Instead, he asked someone to take the money to the pastry house and buy some dough pastry and some pastry pastry. He put them in food boxes and wrapped them in red silk. It was held by the eunuch.
When the Thirteenth Brother left, the Ninth Brother looked at the Twelfth Brother and said, "The Thirteenth Brother has a good relationship with Honghui and Hongshu?"
The thirteenth elder brother is from Qianxitou, the second is from Nersu, and the third is Honghui and Hongshu who entered the study room at the beginning of this year.
The 12th elder brother nodded and said: "Honghui and Hongshu are young, and Nersu is alone. The 13th elder brother usually takes good care of them. He often sends his grandma to visit and see if there is anything to eat. Two courtyards get one for free, Honghui and Hongshu also like to get close to the Thirteenth Brother."
Brother Qianxi said that the twelfth brother is older, and he should be the one to take care of his nephews and grandnephews, but his temper is here, he is not arrogant, and he is not very familiar with the younger ones.
After Mrs. Fucha married into the palace, she took more care of the two courtyards. But she was a bride after all, so she was cautious and couldn't do too much.
Brother Jiu was a little worried after hearing this.
Of course, it's not that I'm worried about the twelfth elder brother and his wife and the thirteenth elder brother, but I'm worried that the fourteenth elder brother will take care of his younger brother and nephews in the same way at Qandong elder brother's place. Don't turn a few children into a ditch when the time comes. .
In addition to the 14th elder brother, there are also the 15th elder brother and the 16th elder brother there, plus Hongyu, Hongqing and Hongsheng who entered the study room last year. They are the eldest elder brother, third elder brother and fifth elder brother respectively. eldest son.
As for the two little brothers, the fifteenth brother is already old and cannot be fooled; the sixteenth brother is a smart little kid with a good idea.
Those three little princes are all a bit honest.
When the fourteenth brother wants to coax people, he also has a sweet mouth.
Brother Jiu thought about the imperial palace and asked him to build the prince's mansion. Isn't it because he was worried about this?
Those who are close to ink are black. Khan Ama should not be too worried about Brother Fourteen...

In the study room, during class break.
Several royal grandsons, together with Pingjun Prince Nersu, all gathered around the fourteenth elder brother and listened to the fourteenth elder brother's story about the emperor's tiger hunting.
After a few days of visiting the mausoleum, we have to go out of Xifengkou for a siege when we come back. There are mountains and forests where wild beasts roam. Tigers, leopards and black bears are common.
"I can use the seven-power bow now. This year I will shoot tigers with Khan Amma!"
The fourteenth brother said with high spirits: "When the time comes, I will show you the tiger skin... At this time, the mountains are covered with heavy snow and there are many wolves. I will buy some wolf teeth and give them to you..."
Several of the emperor's grandsons looked at the fourteenth elder brother with admiration on their faces.
They are only now using the child bow, and the seven-power bow is too far away for them.
Only Nersu was older than the others, and he also began to practice the four-power bow. He said to the fourteenth elder brother: "When the fourteenth grandpa takes charge of the flag, my grandson will be your deputy general!"
Brother Fourteen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll wait a minute."
Last year when my thirteenth brother was in the study room, the study room was divided into several groups.
The fourteenth elder brother has the thirteenth elder brother as a companion and has no patience to play with the children.
This year, the thirteenth elder brother left the study room and Hong Xi also quit the study room. The pattern of the study room changed.
Earlier, the 15th and 16th elder brothers brought Hongjin, the third elder brother from Yuqing Palace, Hongyu, the three younger brothers of the same year, and Honghui and Hongshu followed Nersu.
When the fourteenth elder brother was released from confinement and returned to his study, he gathered his younger brothers, nephews, and grandnephews around him, including Hong Jin from Yuqing Palace.
Children love to play with older children. The fourteenth elder brother is very generous and always asks the prince's kitchen to bring snacks to everyone. In the afternoon, he also showed his bravery in front of a bunch of children during archery.
The unyielding child king.
If Shu Shu knew about this situation, he would know that this was the cause of the annihilation of his entire army.
Not only are they all older than Hong Xiaosi, but the main reason is that they are all members of the "Fourteenth Prince's Party", starting from the Fourteenth Prince and conquering the northwest. This is the main reason why they were deposed one after another.
History seems to be changing, but also seems to lead to the same destination through different paths...
