Chapter 203: Clan Mansion (Third update, please vote for me)
Everyone stood up to say hello.
Shu Shu ate two plates of barbecue, and the pork belly and seasonal vegetables prepared for Qi Fujin were also roasted, so she gave up her seat to her eldest brother and went back to the house first.
She could act like an old sister-in-law in front of her tenth and thirteenth elder brothers, but she couldn't do it in front of her eldest brother.
The ninth elder brother gave up his seat to the eldest elder brother and took the comfortable seat himself.
He Yuzhu was clever and brought clean dishes and chopsticks without any instructions.
The eldest brother noticed something was wrong.
The roasted venison on the grill pan is different from the one just given to me.
The venison was cut thinner than the venison and was sprinkled with chili powder.
In addition to venison, there are also ribs, pork belly, eggplant slices, beans and the like on the table next to it.
Forget about eggplant, beans, etc.
The pork belly has three layers of streaks and looks just right.
The eldest brother glanced at the ninth brother and picked up a piece of venison.
He looked down at his bowl and saw the dipping ingredients. The elder brother dipped it and put it in his mouth.
The venison is tender and the dipping sauce is spicy.
The eldest brother ate several pieces in a row. When he saw that the baking pan was empty, he put down his chopsticks and hummed to the ninth brother: "Old nine, I really have you. I thought you didn't know how to barbecue, so I just put it down."
The venison is roasted and aged, don’t you know how to eat it?”
Brother Jiu knew that it was because of the venison sent earlier, so how could he admit it?
He remembered that his eldest brother had just seen the pork belly, so he handed over a plate, and said with a smile: "This is really the first time I have barbecued meat. The quality of the first batch was even worse. I have paid homage to Khan Ama, and the Queen Mother and the others have paid tribute to them in the second batch."
Brothers..."
The eldest brother heard the meaning behind the words and couldn't laugh or cry.
"Oh? No wonder the sun rises in the west and deserves your filial piety. It turns out this is the reason..."
A deep voice came from the door, it was Kangxi who had arrived.
Several brothers stood up.
At the door of the main room, Walnut was about to pick up the curtain and come out. When he saw this, he hurriedly stepped back and reported to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu didn't dare to delay, so she hurried out and followed the others to greet him.
Kangxi nodded to Shu Shu, then looked at Brother Jiu, feeling unhappy: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Brother Jiu thought about it and planned to make up a rhetoric. He remembered what Shu Shu said, nothing can be hidden from Khan Ama, so he shamelessly stepped forward to hold Kangxi's arm and said: "Khan Ama, you are here."
Just in time, I'm about to bake the second round..."
The tenth brother reacted and quietly pushed the thirteenth brother.
The thirteenth brother smiled and stepped forward, holding the other side: "Khan Ama, is the barbecue you just served delicious? The tenth brother cut the meat, the ninth brother turned it over, and my son sprinkled the seasoning..."
Seeing his youngest son lively, Kangxi's face was warm, and he immediately tensed up: "Why don't you choose the good one to present? The heat is uneven, some places are burnt, and some places are raw..."
The thirteenth elder brother was surprised and said: "Is that so? It was the first batch. The sons didn't even use their chopsticks. They just wanted to be filial to their elders..."
Seeing that the atmosphere had turned around, Shu Shu avoided being an eyesore and hid in the room, telling Xiaotang to go to the imperial dining room immediately.
There are two more people, no matter whether they are eating or not, we cannot prepare too little food.
Thinking of Kangxi's frugality, Shu Shu didn't think of adding anything else, and ordered Xiaotang to add two plates of pork belly, two plates of braised pork sausage, as well as sweet wine and hawthorn water.
Xiaotang took a note, took Xiaosong and two of them, and quietly walked through the yard to the dining room.
In the courtyard, Kangxi had been invited to the seat of honor. On the left side sat the eldest elder brother and the tenth elder brother, on the right side sat the thirteenth elder brother, and on the opposite side sat the ninth elder brother to accompany him.
He Yuzhu was smart and took a clean towel and handed it over.
The ninth elder brother took it and gave it to Kangxi with both hands. Then he took a clean one and handed it to the eldest elder brother.
The eldest brother wiped his hands and couldn't help but praise Kangxi: "My son still remembers how Lao Jiu looked when he first entered school. He was wearing a little red robe and a gold collar. He didn't have his hair cut yet. He looked like a little princess. , carved with pink and jade...he looks like an adult..."
The ninth elder brother remembered his previous enmity and complained to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, the eldest brother was so shameless at that time. He raised his son high and was scared to death..."
The eldest brother smiled and said: "Didn't you coax us well later? I carried you to the room, and you were having so much fun that you refused to come down..."
"Is there still such a thing?"
Brother Jiu was in a trance.
He entered school at the age of six, which was actually not yet his fifth birthday, so his memory was not very deep.
The Thirteenth Brother looked at the Ninth Brother and said: "When I first entered school, I thought the Ninth Brother was unusual. He carried a gold sachet and his purse was embroidered with gold thread. It was only later that I changed..."
Brother Jiu said: "I won't wear it after my birth year..."
He is a water pig and lacks gold in his life.
When I was a child, my health was not good and my spirit was unstable. The people from Qintian Prison looked at it and said that they needed to bring some gold to make up for it.
It will be fine after the birth year has passed and the fire of life has stabilized.
Kangxi also remembered this, and when he named his son, he chose "禟", which means blessing.
It is also because of this that he is not so disgusted with gold belts and gold purses. If it were other brothers who dared to behave like this, they would have been scolded and taught a lesson.
The tenth and ninth elder brothers grew up together, so they naturally remember this.
He looked at Brother Ninth and felt that Brother Ninth's complexion was getting better and better.
Perhaps, Ninth Sister-in-law is Ninth Brother's golden doll, making up for Ninth Brother's destiny.
Brother Ninth felt embarrassed when he heard what happened when he was a child. He glanced at Brother Ten, who was silent, and said, "Khan Ama, Thirteen said that when I grow up, I will ask you for a job in the Ministry of War. When the time comes, I will follow Qiu Xi and hold the flag to compete for the top three..."
Kangxi looked at the Thirteenth Brother and said: "If you are ambitious, you don't have to belittle yourself. You don't have to care too much about success or failure. You have to learn from experience and lessons..."
The thirteenth elder brother stood up and listened, nodded and said: "From yesterday to today, my son has realized that there is no use in talking about war on paper. If you want to be a good general, you still need to practice well every day..."
As he spoke, he frowned and said: "Zhenglan Banner's training is a bit poor, the vests are very unseemly, they all seem to be made up, and the horses are also uneven, some are too old to run... The equipment of the two yellow flags is the worst. Okay, the one with the red flag is not bad either. Even the one with the blue flag held by the eldest brother and the flag with the white flag held by the seventh brother both have their own merits..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "If you want to familiarize yourself with the military affairs of the Eight Banners, you don't have to go to the Ministry of War. When you come out of the Shangshu Room, you can go around the capital camp first..."
The thirteenth elder brother's face was filled with excitement, he nodded vigorously and said: "My son will definitely study hard and become Khan Ama's general king in the future..."
Kangxi smiled and said: "Okay, Khan Ama is waiting."
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, what kind of yamen does Lao Shi go to? Lao Shi is only one and a half months younger than his son, so he shouldn't continue to hang around..."
Kangxi glanced at the ninth elder brother and then looked at the tenth elder brother: "Yin?, which yamen do you want to go to?"
The main yamen of the imperial court were six ministries, five divisions, two supervisors, two courts and one government office, totaling sixteen yamen.
Brother Ten did not answer immediately, but thought about it carefully.
According to his original intention, what he wanted to do most was to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and serve as Ninth Brother's deputy.
But this is delusion.
If he had to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he might even steal Brother Ninth's position.
He then thought of Taiyuan Hospital. Ninth Brother wanted to sell medicine in Mongolia and needed to cooperate with Taiyuan Hospital.
However, he is self-aware. In a place like the Imperial Hospital, Khan Ama would not allow the prince's brother to interfere.
The tenth elder brother sighed in his heart, and his face became more serious: "Khan Ama knows that his son is most lazy. If he is not good at literature or martial arts, he will not go out to show his cowardice and embarrass the royal family... If the clan government has
Que, my son wants to go there..."
In the Zongren Mansion, there are Zongling, left and right Zongzheng, left and right Zongren, and Fu Cheng.
It is indeed a leisurely and error-prone yamen.
Kangxi had no intention of objecting. He nodded and said, "Since the 24th year, Prince Xin has been in charge of the family affairs for more than ten years. You should learn more from me..."
After hearing this, the tenth elder brother was very relieved.
Brother Jiu's face already showed joy.
Follow Zong Ling and learn, is this a Zong Ling promised to Lao Shi?
You should know that the Zongren Mansion's Zongling was selected from among Prince Heshuo and Prince Duoluo.
The worst after Lao Shi is Prince Duo Luo!
The ninth elder brother thought of this, and the thirteenth elder brother naturally thought of it too, with envy on his face.
My brothers are all grown up now, and it may only take a few years for them to become knights and open mansions. I hope I can catch up with this trend.
The eldest brother is very calm.
This result is not surprising.
Lao Shi was born here, and he is second only to the prince among the princes.
No matter whether he is granted early or late, his title will not be low, otherwise Khan Amma will easily be criticized by others.
He pointed to Mongolia's Fujin, being granted a high title and being given a noble job in the clan's mansion. It was indeed the most suitable arrangement for Lao Shi, the son of a noble concubine.
The ninth elder brother was really happy for his younger brother. Seeing that Kangxi was in a good mood, he pushed a little further and said to the tenth elder brother: "This year is the busiest time in the imperial family, and all kinds of errands are complicated. Otherwise, don't be idle when you go back and start walking around."
Get up...and get close to all the princes..."
If this is the case, will the membership of each family at the wedding next year be thicker?
He winked, and his calculations were all on his face. Brother Ten was also happy to support him and nodded: "Brother Ninth is right, listen to Brother Ninth..."
Kangxi felt helpless and looked at his precious eldest son.
The eldest brother is holding chopsticks and preparing barbecue.
He remembered the difference between the venison he ate and the venison sent over, so he passed the venison, took the plate of pork belly, and started grilling it.
Cast iron baking pan.
The pork belly is "sizzling" and oily.
The thirteenth elder brother took the seasoning bowl, mixed the seasoning, and brought it to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, dip this in a while and eat it, it will be delicious... Sister-in-law Jiu prepared it, saying it is an all-purpose dipping sauce.
This is delicious when dipped in tofu or cabbage..."
Kangxi looked down and saw that there were white sesame seeds, salt, pepper powder, cumin particles, and something similar to fried noodles.
"The peach cake is used, which is a common pastry in the imperial kitchen. It is delicious when mixed here... When grilling meat in the harem, in addition to the salt and pepper dish, you can also add this dipping sauce..."
Brother Thirteen was explaining.
Adding a seasoning plate to the dishes in the imperial dining room was a trivial matter. When his son brought it up, Kangxi nodded and told Liang Jiugong, who was standing next to him: "Remember what I said, and tell the dining room later..."
Liang Jiugong bowed and responded.
At this time, the eldest brother had roasted a plate of pork belly, put it on a plate, and sent it to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, my son borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, and I also want to honor you..."
Ever since the father and son started talking to each other the day before yesterday, the rift between them has gone away, and they have become closer and closer.
Kangxi smiled and nodded, looking very pleased.
At this time, Xiaotang and Xiaosong also came back with food boxes, walked to Brother Jiu, and opened the food boxes.
In addition to two plates of pork belly and two plates of braised pork sausage, there are also two cans of drinks.
I also brought a small bowl and a spoon.
The ninth elder brother personally filled the rice wine and distributed it to Kangxi, the eldest elder brother and the tenth elder brother. He also put hawthorn water in front of himself and the thirteenth elder brother.
Kangxi saw the difference and raised his eyebrows.
Brother Jiu suppressed his pride and explained with a smile: "Dong E's family is the most verbose. She was afraid that her son would not be cured if he ate two more pieces of barbecue, so she had someone specially prepare this... Thirteen is the same here, he is young,
Weak intestines and stomach..."
Kangxi snorted softly and took a sip of sweet wine.
This taste is very light, a bit cool, but it is very anti-greasy.
The eldest brother also drank it and felt that the taste was a bit bland.
He looked at the proud Ninth Brother and glanced at him again and again.
Brother Jiu showed off and said, "Brother also wants to drink hawthorn water?"
Looking at it like this, if there was a tail, it would be wagging.
Kangxi also looked at Brother Jiu several times.
Brother Jiu restrained himself, hesitated for a moment, and said: "There is another bowl, why don't I pour it for you..."
Kangxi was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The eldest brother laughed and said: "Has Ama Khan noticed it too? There is some flesh on Lao Jiu's face. It was dry before, but it's better now..."
Kangxi nodded and looked at the 10th and 13th elder brothers.
Not only the ninth elder brother has flesh on his face, but the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother are even more obvious.
They both had thin oval faces before, but now they have oval faces.
Especially the thirteenth brother, who has a bulging face and looks a bit like he did two years ago.
The eldest brother also followed Kangxi's gaze and noticed the difference. He nodded and said: "It seems that the nine younger brothers and sisters are really dedicated... These little ones are at the age of drawing strips. They are running all the way and can still support them."
It’s really not easy to produce meat..."
Brother Thirteen said proudly: "If you don't gain weight after eating those old good things, you will be in trouble..."
As he spoke, he counted on his fingers: "Beef jerky, pork jerky, meat dates, five-spice eggs, eggplant, peanut dip, hawthorn sticks, Yi noodles, chestnut cake, yam rolls, millet pancakes... In addition to following the kitchen
Two meals to eat, one snack on the way, and two snacks prepared in the evening to prevent starvation..."
At the end of the sentence, he looked at Kangxi pitifully and said: "Even now I have nothing to eat..."
Kangxi was still very kind and patient, and said kindly: "If there is no more, I will ask your sister-in-law to prepare it for you. Just know the right amount and don't delay your serious meal..."
The Thirteenth Brother smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Khan. Don't worry, son. Sister-in-law Ninth said that it would hurt your stomach, so just use it as complementary food..."
Shu Shu was sitting in the room, not knowing that her good popularity was beginning to show its strength, and several elder brothers took turns to increase their favorability points in front of Kangxi.
If you are not outside, the outside world is your own legend.
She listened to the father and son talking and laughing in the yard, and had strange thoughts.
If this atmosphere continues, what will be the direction of "Kowloon Seizing the Progeny"?
If one dragon, one dragon at a time, withdraws from seizing the direct descendants, then how many dragons will seize the direct descendants?
