When Concubine Yi mentioned Fang Zi, Kangxi felt very subtle.
Fangzi...
When I go touring Nanhe this time, should I call Shangjiu Age?
Most of the flood control works in the Huaihe River section were completed last year, using marl.
They are all lime kilns built locally in Huai'an.
This is different from the little fights that Brother Ninth had in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Benefiting the country and the people should be remembered as a meritorious service.
The qualifications of the fifth elder brother are there, and they cannot support the lineage of Yikun Palace.
He is the first in rank, and in the future, he will most likely be promoted before the ninth prince.
The legitimate son of the fifth elder brother's house is ill and is not suitable for inheriting the title, so the eldest son of the concubine will be the one to establish the family.
It's okay for the elder brother to suppress his younger brother. He can't let the ninth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother have to be suppressed by their nephews in the future, and they are still concubine nephews.
I have been taking credit for the ninth elder brother, which is very unfair to the ninth elder brother.
There is no reason to be filial to your son, but you will suffer a loss.
Whose son feels sorry for the other? If the fifth elder brother suppresses the ninth elder brother, then Kangxi will not say anything.
The elders and younger ones are in order, and the fifth elder brother also acts like an older brother.
But if a concubine's grandson was placed on the ninth elder brother, and even the eighteenth elder brother had to wait for care, Kangxi would not worry.
On the contrary, if the ninth elder brother takes care of the eighteenth elder brother, he will feel more at ease.
Kangxi glanced at his eighteenth brother.
The ninth elder brother is very friendly to his half-brothers, the seventeenth elder brother and the nineteenth elder brother, not to mention his compatriot the eighteenth elder brother.
"Do you want to see your ninth brother?"
Kangxi asked.
The 18th elder brother smiled and said: "Is the ninth brother coming? The son left the mutton shaomai for lunch to the ninth brother. Will the ninth brother bring the dried meat over..."
What children care most about, besides eating, is playing.
He and his two compatriot brothers were separated by a generation and could not see each other twice a year. It was impossible to say that they had a deep brotherhood, but they only met on the first day of the new year, so they left a deep impression on them.
Fifth brother, the chubby brother who can eat.
Ninth Brother, the thin brother who carries snacks.
It's a pity that not only did the fifth brother not catch the snacks on the first day of the new year, but he also didn't get on the wheel.
Concubine Yi looked at Kangxi with some confusion.
Are there any other matters in the palace recently that require summoning Brother Ninth?
Whether it is the renovation of Zhongcui Palace or the relocation of concubines to Qixiang Palace, it has nothing to do with Jiu Age.
Does the emperor want to transfer the ninth elder brother back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Yi Fei was a little worried.
She was afraid that when her ninth elder brother returned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he would only be responsible for trivial errands and his achievements would not be shown, which would cause the prince to suffer a loss when he was promoted to a higher rank.
Kangxi looked at Concubine Yi and said with deep meaning: "Don't worry, I won't wrong Lao Jiu."
Concubine Yi shook her head and said: "I have nothing to worry about, I just think about the little boy from Laojiu's family. I heard that Laojiu's wife suffered a lot when she gave birth. I don't know what to do now..."
Kangxi really hadn't seen any news about Jiu Beile Mansion in the past few days. After thinking about it, he said: "With Lao Jiu's irresistible temper, if Fujin was really seriously ill, he would have gone to the Imperial Hospital long ago. Where?
Will it stop like this? The Dong E family has suffered, but it should not be a serious problem."
Concubine Yi said: "No wonder it is said, 'There is no better son than a father.' When the emperor said this, I felt relieved..."
The emperor has no intention of transferring the ninth elder brother back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he can indeed let go of half of it.
Kangxi now acted more and more casually.
Since he thought of Brother Ninth, he immediately called a guard and ordered: "Brother Ninth is coming to Changchun Garden..."
The guard responded and went down.
The Eighteenth Prince looked at Concubine Yi and said, "Mother, is Ninth Brother riding a horse or riding a car? Is Ninth Brother's wallet full or empty?"
Concubine Yi: "..."
The guard just gave him an order. Brother Jiu was so confused that he might not have the time to prepare something to eat.
As for riding a horse or riding a car, I guess I will ride a horse.
This was because the guards had passed on the message and it was difficult to find out why, so we had to rush early.
Kangxi was listening, thinking about whether he should ask someone to chase the guard who sent the message and explain it again, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
When heading back south, there is rarely a time to ride on horseback.
It's not so cold now, and Brother Jiu shouldn't be so squeamish anymore.
Just as Kangxi and Concubine Yi said, when they heard that the imperial concubine was here, Brother Jiu really didn't dare to ask him to ride in a carriage and he honestly rode a horse.
But his wallet is full.
Because when the guard sent the message, he happened to go to the dining room to buy some snacks.
What I was thinking about was that Shu Shu was afraid of bitterness, so the expectorant medicine I was drinking was a bitter soup, so I was looking for something to sweeten my mouth.
So, he found a pack of apricot dried meat and a pack of orange gummy candies.
They do not conflict with the medicinal properties, are not hard, and can be taken comfortably.
As a result, before he could go to the main courtyard, the guards came and carried it in his sleeves.
Although he was going to the garden on horseback, Brother Jiu knew that he did not have a fast horse.
But compared with the horse-drawn carriage, riding a horse took twice as much time, and we arrived at Xiaodongmen in two-quarters of an hour.
Brother Jiu dismounted, his face went numb.
He walked in a hurry and followed the guard into the garden.
When the guard turned the corner and went not to Qingxi Bookstore but to Changchun Garden, Brother Jiu felt something was wrong.
He looked at the second-class guard who was delivering the message, and said with a bit of nervousness: "Khan Ama only sent the message to me, has Wu Baile sent the message?"
The guard not only had an ice face, but also a clam mouth. He said: "I don't know."
Brother Ninth became more and more worried.
?????55.?????
Is this an emergency?
Or is there something wrong with Xiao Shiba?
He also warned himself not to think about these unlucky things, but rather to curse his empress and younger brother.
It's just that he is not brave, he frightened himself, and his face turned pale.
By the time he arrived in front of Huichun Villa, Brother Jiu's legs were already weak.
The guard went in to deliver the message.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but glance around.
This seems...nothing unusual...
Not far away, a rough eunuch was sweeping the house, and people from the palace were also coming and going in the side room.
This doesn't look like something happened.
At this moment, the guard came out and said: "Your Majesty, please ask Master Jiu to come in."
Brother Jiu didn't rush in. He glanced at the guard and couldn't help but ask: "Are you always like this, without even the slightest smile on your face?"
The guard was startled after hearing this, and then said respectfully: "Slave... I have a problem, I don't know how to laugh."
Brother Jiu snorted lightly, pointed at the guard and said, "Don't you know how to laugh? This is your debt collection face, it scared me!"
If it had not been for this dead man, and if it had been a guard with a normal expression who had conveyed the message, he would not have ridden into the strong wind during the Chinese New Year.
After saying this, he dusted off his sleeves and strode into the house.
This should be a good thing, right?
You can meet the empress in her territory.
There was a smile on Brother Jiu's lips, and his steps became brisk.
When they entered, they saw two people sitting on the Kang.
On the left is the emperor's father, and on the right is his wife.
Sitting on the chair next to the Kang was the eighteenth elder brother.
Seeing the ninth elder brother come in, the eighteenth elder brother got off his chair and stood up.
Brother Jiu immediately greeted Kangxi and wanted to say hello. When the words came to his lips, he thought of Ni Guzhu, so he changed his words and said: "My son is sending New Year greetings to Khan Amma. Happy New Year to Khan Amma!"
When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said: "Why do you still bring me two New Year greetings? Didn't you pray on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"
Brother Jiu said: "That's different. That was kowtow to follow the crowd, but now it's a son's filial piety."
"You are good at coaxing people with your words. If I don't tell you today, I won't see your filial piety!"
Kangxi hummed.
Brother Jiu shook his head without hesitation and said: "Even if you don't pass on your son, your son will still come before the Lantern Festival. Before the Lantern Festival, there is Chinese New Year, so don't waste your new year's money."
Shengjia will leave Beijing after the Lantern Festival. If he wants to run an official pot-shaking and medicinal wine workshop under the Lifan Court, he must report before the Lantern Festival.
This was related to his appearance in the Lifanyuan, and he didn't want to be like he was in the Ministry of Revenue, unable to get involved in anything.
Kangxi looked him over and said, "In addition to growing older, you are also growing thick-skinned. How old are you and are you still thinking about the New Year's money?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand and said: "Even if I am eighty-eight, I still want you to give me more pocket money..."
Kangxi picked up the purse, threw it into his arms, and said: "When Fengsheng and the others are older, you still smile like this in front of them..."
Brother Jiu took the purse with both hands, but did not recognize it, and said: "That is your son's words and deeds to teach your grandchildren filial piety. As long as you learn three points of filial piety, your son will have nothing to worry about."
Concubine Yi was standing by, listening to the argument between father and son with a smile, and was very surprised in her heart.
When did the relationship between Lao Jiu and the emperor become so close?
They look like an ordinary father and son.
The ninth elder brother was less afraid of the emperor, and the emperor was more tolerant of the ninth elder brother.
If the fifth elder brother were in front of the emperor, father and son would not be so close.
Regarding this situation, Concubine Yi was naturally happy to see the outcome.
Brother Jiu happily picked up his purse and happened to touch his two purses.
Thinking that there were apricot meat and orange gummies inside, Brother Jiu took it out and said: "My son's family is all rewarded by Khan Ama. I came here in a hurry today and there is nothing to honor Khan Ama and my mother-in-law. These two
I’ll bring some snacks for you and your concubine, just in time for you and your concubine to coax little Shiba..."
Kangxi: "..."
These are two packs of snacks, how many favors should I do?!
Yi Fei gave Brother Jiu a blank look.
The eighteenth elder brother was in a happy mood.
As expected, Brother Ninth had snacks with him.
Kangxi said helplessly: "I don't even know how to take care of my little brother when I'm here, and he doesn't act like an older brother."
After hearing this, Ninth Brother said displeasedly: "Ama Khan and my wife are here, why should I act like a big-tailed wolf? I don't want to be partial. A five-year-old son is a son, and a twenty-one-year-old son is also a son!"
Kangxi felt a little headache: "It is said that 'the person who is close to the emperor is red'. You and the fourth elder brother have been in the household department for a year, why can't you learn from the fourth elder brother? Be more prudent and stop talking!"
Brother Jiu was speechless and said: "Why should my son learn from him? Why can't he learn from good people?"
Kangxi's face turned dark.
Yifei's smile was also a little stiff.
Xiao Shiba looked at his brother, a little worried.
My ninth brother didn't seem very smart and spoke ill of other brothers in front of Khan Amma.
Brother Jiu then said: "He is an iron man, and he is still promising. That time a year ago, how about he left the Yamen at the end of the night, and Chenchu went there again in the morning. Khan Ama, you took advantage and saved a salary...
"
"Your fourth son is strong and can withstand abuse. Your ninth son has self-awareness and will not be too strong..."

Sitting down on the subway and high-speed train, Xiaojiu caught a cold and burst into tears. This is it for now. The next update will be tomorrow.
