"You don't even know how to speak well. Your fourth brother works diligently, but in your eyes, he is not a good person?"
Kangxi said with a straight face.
Brother Jiu said: "This... everyone has their own strengths, and they cannot all be the same..."
He didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he put the two purses in his hands into the hands of the eighteenth brother.
Looking at his younger brother's young face, he thought of the three living ancestors in his family, and his voice softened and he said: "Try it, just don't eat too much, don't damage the teeth, it will take two or three years before the teeth start to grow.
.”
Brother Eighteen took it with both hands and nodded.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but touch his brother's head twice.
How obedient and obedient.
With a similar appearance, Akdan is very discerning.
Even Fengsheng looks smarter than Brother Shiba.
When it was time to go to the study room, I had no choice but to rely on Fengsheng, my nephew's uncle, to take care of me.
Seeing the unpredictable changes on his face, Kangxi and Concubine Yi looked at each other, feeling confused.
Between feeling sorry for his younger brother and feeling sorry for his son, Brother Jiu chose to feel sorry for his son.
He did not say it in front of the eighteenth elder brother, but looked at Peilan and said: "This is almost done. Is it time to give elder brother an extra meal? Auntie, please take elder brother down!"
Peilan didn't expect Brother Jiu to override his master and directly order him, looking at Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi was also a little surprised and couldn't help but glance at Brother Eighteen.
Is there anything you can’t say in front of your eighteenth brother?
Seeing that Concubine Yi did not stop her, Peilan took the hand of the eighteenth prince and went there.
Brother Jiu then said: "Khan Ama, why don't you first choose a well-versed eunuch to teach Xiao Shiba? The gentleman who goes to the study can't wait to come up and do it. It is too difficult for the child. My son was not stupid when he was a child. At that time
This is also the reason why he doesn’t like to study. Here at Xiao Shiba, if we give him some supplements in advance, he won’t have to worry about going to school..."
Kangxi drew inferences from one instance and asked: "Do you want to enlighten Fengsheng in advance?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "They are four years old. They want to run out all day long and can't restrain themselves. So my son asked Cui Shuda to enlighten them and learn Chinese and Mandarin..."
Kangxi couldn't help but frown after hearing this: "Chinese language is difficult to learn. If you can't use Chinese language to educate people, let's replace it with the Three Character Classic!"
Brother Jiu doesn’t insist on this either.
Thinking of the difficulty of Chinese language, he said with lingering fear: "My son also learned two foreign languages at that time, and I remember they were not as difficult as Chinese language. We shouldn't use this to educate children. Even good children will be confused by learning."
Kangxi didn't want to hear him talk about fatherhood.
This makes people even more worried.
He said: "I sent you here for the purpose of patrolling the Nanhe River. There is no need to rush over to the Lifan Court. We will wait until the retinue comes back."
Brother Jiu's eyes widened.
Is he talking too smartly?
Being able to go out and wanting to go out are two different things.
He doesn't want to go out!
Kangxi saw his reluctance and wanted to take him out more and more.
An honor that no one else could ask for, but when it came to him, he even rejected it.
Kangxi again disliked his son and said, "Don't want to go out? Are you worried about your family? You are promising! It's a normal thing for a woman to give birth. It's a surprise!"
Brother Jiu was shocked and shook his head hurriedly: "Don't worry about the family. We have our son's mother-in-law to take care of him during the confinement period, and the county head to help take care of the child. There is nothing to worry about. My son is thinking about managing the feudal court.
I have a plan, I started making preparations as soon as the Yamen opened the seal, and I will wait until the end of February and make arrangements before the Mongolian princes who are on duty in March leave the capital..."
Kangxi became interested and said, "What's the plan? Can you tell me about it?"
Brother Jiu looked at Kangxi with a guilty look on his face.
This official roasting pot is in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the private property of Khan Amma, and the money is received in the inner treasury.
If you hang it in Lifanyuan, you will be an official, and the money will be received by the Yamen of Lifanyuan.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "What else do you want to do?"
Gold belt, pills, red gold jewelry, wool...
All things considered, during those years in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth made a lot of money from Mongolia.
After going to Lifanyuan, I felt like a fish in water.
Brother Jiu sneered twice, but did not say anything specific, and said: "This is such an empty talk, and I can't even explain a few to five sentences. I will wait until my son writes the statement in a few days and then submit it to the emperor."
Kangxi knew that there was something unspeakable in this.
But I don’t have to force him to say it today.
"We'll set off after the Lantern Festival. It gets hot there early. We'll prepare some spring and autumn clothes. We'll travel in a light and simple manner. We just need to bring a few suitable people to run errands and follow our orders. There's no need to bring too many people."
Kangxi ordered.
Seeing that he had no room to refuse, Brother Jiu agreed honestly.
Although there is a prince accompanying him, he should not be able to get along easily.
He is not afraid when dealing with him. In front of the imperial father, the prince is not a fool and he can pretend to be polite to these brothers.
There are also fourth elder brother and thirteenth elder brother here.
You don’t need yourself to do this work, and you don’t need yourself to run errands.
There's nothing wrong with it except not being able to take Fujin and the kids with me.
Brother Jiu thought that in addition to patrolling the river, he would also go south, so he said: "Khan Ama, how many days will you stay in Suzhou this time?"
Kangxi said: "One day."
I plan to turn back in two months, but there is no time to stay on the road.
Brother Jiu said: "Then do you want to go to Dongshan Island to have a look? My son's orange orchard is quite complete."
Kangxi couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this, and said: "That pearl..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "The pearl farm is also in Dongshan, but we need to raise river mussels and mussel seedlings first. It will take forty-five years at the earliest for pearls to be seen..."
??????55.??????
Concubine Yi was standing by, listening and wondering: "This pearl can still be cultivated, but it is not naturally cultivated?"
Brother Ninth told the story of "three cold and summer days for planting pearls" mentioned in the notes of predecessors.
Concubine Yi listened, took a careful look at Brother Jiu, and said to Kangxi: "Speaking of Xianshu, it's clear and logical. As long as you have this energy when you are in school, you don't have to worry about the emperor following him."
Kangxi hummed and said: "If you don't do your job properly, you just like to think about these heresy."
Brother Jiu was unconvinced and said: "The four peoples are scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, and the country's stone people are also the common people. How can the business way be the wrong way?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Farmers are the foundation and workers are the bottom. How can they be the same?"
Brother Jiu said: "Farming is our foundation, but the knowledge of researching improved seeds and improving farm tools are all in idle books..."
Kangxi: "..."
Seeing that the father and son were about to confront each other, Concubine Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, seeing that it's noon, do you want to let Brother Jiu have a meal in the garden? If you want to stay, you have to ask the dining room to prepare..."
Kangxi said: "Just let him follow and deal with it, don't bother to prepare."
Brother Jiu was listening, with a bit of resentment on his face, and said: "Mother, what do you mean? If the Khan Ama doesn't leave his son lunch, you will tell him to go away, right? You can't stay.
…”
Having said this, he looked at Kangxi again and said: "It's true, Khan Ama, now in Changchun Garden, what are you going to do with a mouthful? How can you not eat fish, shrimps and clams?"
Kangxi rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't even understand why you don't eat at odd times. I think you look like a clam!"
Brother Ninth: "..."
There were indeed no clams at noon.
The lake in the garden has not yet completely thawed, and Kangxi and Concubine Yifei would not waste time on people, insisting that their slaves go into the water to dig clams at this time.
It's just the usual sauerkraut and white meat pot, with a few bowls and a few plates.
Brother Jiu is indeed hungry.
The morning was full of both mental and physical exertion.
Brother Ninth's food tastes better than usual, and he doesn't have to be picky.
Even Yifei and Kangxi followed suit and took a few more bites...
After lunch, Kangxi returned to Qingxi Bookstore, and Brother Jiu also left Changchun Garden.
The horse didn't start running when we came, and when we returned, it was even slower.
Brother Jiu realized it later, looked down at his mount, and said to Chun Lin beside him: "Go back and check the master's mount carefully. Change the shoes that need to be replaced, the saddle with the right fit, and tidy it up...
"
If you are going on a journey, you will probably have to ride a horse on the road.
Chunlin agreed...
In the Tuoyuan Bookstore, the prince put down the bowl.
There were eight plates and eight bowls on the table, including chicken, duck, fish and meat, but he didn't move his chopsticks much.
I ate half a bowl of chazuke rice with Babao pickles.
When someone came to report that the emperor had gone to Huichun Villa and called the ninth elder brother, the prince looked blank.
Here we go again, here we go again.
It's not surprising.
Now that Concubine Rong is freed, Third Prince's role will become more important, and he will have to look for compensation from Concubine Yi.
The fifth elder brother asked the queen mother to raise him to death and he could no longer lift him up, so he had to start lifting him up.
"hehe……"
The prince couldn't help but laugh.
Khan Amma is quite busy.
Did he do it on purpose, or was he careless?
If the fifth elder brother is happy to lift the ninth elder brother, will the entire staff of the fifth elder brother's house be happy?
Is the Queen Mother happy?
Is this because he loves Concubine Yi and his wife, or is it because Concubine Yi has many sons and Xiao Shiba is about to go to the study, and is he deliberately trying to disturb the relationship between the princes who have the same mother?
The prince knew that he should not think so badly of the emperor's father.
However, he still couldn't help but think about this.
Shu Shu was the mistress of the house, and someone from the palace told Brother Jiu to come over. Someone also passed the news to Bai Guo's ears.
Ging Guo came in immediately and reported quietly.
This couple has been together for a long time, and their ideas have influenced each other.
Shu Shu immediately thought of Concubine Yi and couldn't help but worry.
But after all, there is a layer of separation, which is different from directly worrying about Brother Jiu.
In addition, knowing that Concubine Yi was a long-lived person and almost survived Yongzheng, even if there was any emergency this time, it would probably be a false alarm.
Shu Shu's worries were reduced by half.
When Brother Ninth came back, he went directly to the backyard.
I am going on a long trip on the 16th day of the first lunar month, and if Fujin has to stay in confinement for forty-two days, it will be mid-February.
There is still a month left in between, and Fujin takes care of the children by himself.
Brother Jiu was a little worried.
When he arrived in the west wing, he mentioned the matter and said, "How about I tell my mother-in-law and ask her to stay with you for a while, and then go home when I come back?"
Something doesn't sound right to Shu Shu. Why is it only forty-two days?
She looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Did Doctor Jiang really suggest that I should have confinement for forty-two days?!"
Yifei spent forty-two days in confinement, which was due to her advanced maternal age and other reasons.
I had a good and normal delivery here, but why is it already forty-two days?
Brother Ninth: "..."
He was not fooling around, and said in a low voice: "It's just my selfishness. I thought it would be cold in early February, so if you rest for a while, you can get through the cold weather..."
