Chapter 1967: Both worlds (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Lifanyuan Yamen.
Hayaltu, the Minister of Lifanyuan, waited until noon and still did not see the ninth elder brother coming, so he knew that he would not come today.
The two got along very well when they were in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and neither was a power seeker.
At that time, the ninth elder brother was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Hayartu had another official position and was supervised here in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Now that Ninth Prince is visiting the Lifan Courtyard, Hayartu is also looking forward to following him in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that the two of them can get along harmoniously.
If Brother Nine is not here today, he will come tomorrow.
Hayartu thought for a while and went to the fifth elder brother's check-in room.
The fifth elder brother is here, holding on a little bit, and is about to leave.
Seeing Hayartu coming over, the fifth elder brother was a little surprised and said: "Master Ha, are you free?"
This year is Kangxi's fiftieth birthday. The Mongolian princes who were on duty in Beijing last year did not leave Beijing in February as in previous years, but stayed in the capital, waiting to celebrate his birthday.
These days are the time for the princes of various Mongolian tribes to offer birthday gifts.
These birthday gifts must first be inspected by the Lifan Yuan to see if they are inappropriate or disrespectful.
Hayaltu said: "Fifth Master, I want to ask about the value room that was previously prepared for Ninth Master. I don't know if there is anything else that needs to be added..."
The fifth elder brother said: "When the ninth elder brother comes tomorrow, I will ask him."
Thinking about Brother Ninth's duty at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs, he said: "It should be almost there. If there is any shortage, Brother Ninth will buy it himself."
With the words of Fifth Elder Brother, Hayartu felt relieved.
Brother Ninth is a sweetheart and is not difficult to get along with.
Just don't neglect it, otherwise the ninth elder brother won't care, and there are still fifth and tenth elder brothers here.
Hayartu went to work, and the fifth elder brother left the Lifan Courtyard. After all, he was a little worried about the ninth elder brother, so he came to the north official room.
It's better to come by chance than to come well.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu had just set the table and prepared for lunch when Cui Baisui came in and announced: "Master, the fifth master is here."
Shu Shu looked at the time and said, "Fifth brother probably didn't have lunch..."
Brother Jiu stood up and said, "Well, I guess he came out of the Yamen and turned to our place."
Shu Shu immediately ordered Ging Guo: "Ask the kitchen to fry a plate of Mushu pork, and then fry a plate of shrimp cakes..."
As he said that, he pointed to the casserole meatballs and beef pot on the dining table and said, "Move these two directly over too!"
It’s too late to make this kind of time-consuming dish right now.
The ginkgo fruits are in season, and the winter moon is used to decorate the vegetables.
The ninth elder brother had already picked up the curtain and went out, and was also thinking about the fifth elder brother's purpose.
Are you blaming yourself for the morning gift list?
Immediately, Brother Jiu rejected this idea.
It's probably not because of that.
I am not the only one who increased or decreased the birthday gift list this morning.
Even Fifth Brother himself actually added a gift list.
With this thought in mind, Brother Jiu arrived at the front living room.
The fifth elder brother is drinking tea and eating Shaqima.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and moved the plate of pastry away, saying, "I've eaten half of this plate. It's so sweet. Don't you feel tired of it?"
The fifth elder brother raised the tea cup in his hand and said: "It goes well with the fermented tea."
Brother Jiu said: "Forget it, I, Fujin, have asked the kitchen to prepare food."
The fifth elder brother put down his teacup and said, "Well, well, then I'll wait for dinner."
Brother Ninth was already worried about him, but after looking at him, he became more and more worried.
Sitting on the chair, with a big belly and a bit of laziness.
My brother can also sit and not stand, and has a good appetite.
It’s weird that he’s not fat.
Brother Jiu then said: "Brother Five should also avoid eating foods from now on. Eat less fat, eat more mutton legs, less lamb chops, and don't eat pork belly. You can eat more chicken and fish. You still need to lose weight."
, to avoid getting fat and getting rich and rich."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother quickly shook his head and said: "Where can I use this? I am just being generous and fat, and it has nothing to do with eating and drinking!"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes.
How can a person who eats four bowls of rice, an elbow, and half a mutton chop in one meal have the nerve to say that his body fat has nothing to do with eating and drinking?!
The fifth elder brother laughed twice and said: "I don't have any other preferences. I just like to eat a few delicious bites. If I really want to avoid eating that food, life is too boring. I haven't reached that point. I will wait until I am forty or fifty to take care of myself."
It’s too late.”
Brother Ninth had a serious look on his face, leaned over and said: "Uncle Wang is only fifty-one...Uncle Wang is forty-seven..."
When the two princes first fell ill, these princes in Beijing had already visited them.
The fifth elder brother was confused and said: "Uncle Wang is just paying off, why should I mention Uncle Wang properly? Isn't Uncle Wang's illness almost cured?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
However, Prince Yu is paralyzed in bed and Prince Gong is on crutches. It seems that the latter is not serious.
Diabetes syndrome is a disease of wealth. If you take good care of it, you can end your life well.
The Queen Mother also suffers from diabetes mellitus, and the ninth elder brother is afraid that if it is severe, the fifth elder brother will be worried.
He considered it carefully and said, "Uncle Wang is also very thin. He doesn't look much better than Uncle Wang."
The fifth elder brother said: "Sickness goes away like silk threads. Spring sickness can easily damage your vitality. It will be fine after a while of conditioning."
On the contrary, it was Prince Yu's paralysis. After acupuncture, he only recovered 10 to 20% and could not get out of bed at all.
Brother Ninth also hopes for this.
Even if there was no friendship, he was still his uncle, and he also hoped that Prince Gong would get better.
because……
Prince Yu's situation is really not good.
The emperor's father only had these two brothers left, and they couldn't all die at once.
At this moment, Cui Baisui came with the people from the kitchen to prepare the meal.
The two brothers had lunch before continuing to talk.
The fifth elder brother thought of business and said, "Tomorrow we should go to the Lifan Courtyard. You should work hard for a few days and then find a way to rest after the Wanshou Festival."
The fifth elder brother has also been with the army and knows that after a long journey, it takes seven or eight days to recover from the hardships.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, I'll go there tomorrow..."
The fifth elder brother looked at him and said: "Okay, why did you think of temporarily adding the names of Akdan and Niguzhu?"
As for the small one, it should make up the number.
The purpose is still for Akdan and Niguzhu.
This is his real brother. Brother Ninth did not hide it and whispered: "I want to ask for a favor in the next year and let Akdan also study in the palace."
Fifth elder brother: "..."
With shame on his face, he said: "If it weren't for our second elder brother, Khan Ama would not have ordered that each family can only send one..."
As a result, my brother's family was implicated.
It's just an ordinary second son, separated by years from the eldest son.
As for my younger brother, the eldest son and the second son came to the ground one after another and grew up together.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "What are you talking about? There are no rules. There are more and more children in each government. If they all go to the palace to study, the south study room really won't be able to accommodate them."
The fifth elder brother knew it well.
Even if there are many emperors and grandsons who want to study in the future, that will happen in the future.
If it weren't for the purpose of covering up the shortcomings of his second elder brother, the emperor would not have limited the number of students for the emperor's grandson so early...
He became more and more annoyed.
My own problems have actually affected my younger brother's family.
He is neither a good Ama nor a good brother.
In front of his younger brother, he said nothing more.
But when he left Jiubele Mansion, he felt depressed.
When he got home, he looked in the direction of the main courtyard and got bored, so he went to the cross courtyard.
Mr. Gualjia was sitting on the kang, doing needlework with a brown forehead.
Seeing the fifth elder brother coming in, she stood up quickly: "Master is here..."
The fifth elder brother nodded, sat on the kang, leaned over to look at her work, and said, "Who is this prepared for? She looks a bit old-fashioned."
Guarjia poured a cup of tea for the fifth elder brother, and said with respect and trust: "What kind of sex is good?"
"Who wore it?"
Seeing that the weather is getting warmer, not many people are wiping their foreheads.
Guarjia said: "I want to show my filial piety to the Queen Mother..."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother showed some concern and took the forehead wipe.
This one is just dark in color and made of silk, which is silky and light.
It looks inconspicuous, but the stitches are fine and the five blessings and longevity patterns are used.
The fifth elder brother's face became more friendly and he said: "This color is not bad. It can be used all year round. When I change to thicker materials in autumn, I will still use indigo. The imperial grandmother's regular clothes are mostly indigo.
It goes well with wiping foreheads of the same color..."
At this point, he thought of Concubine Yi and said, "I'm doing this for the imperial grandmother, but what about the empress' side?"
Guarjia said: "Your Majesty loves to use incense in her house. I want to make two boxes of fragrant pills to honor your Majesty, but I am afraid of violating the taboo. I just want to ask you..."
The fifth elder brother thought for a while and said: "The incense pills are indeed not appropriate. If you know how to prepare dry incense, you can just prepare a few sachets to honor the empress. It is convenient to carry a messenger and lavender clothes."
Guarjia nodded and said: "Well, then I will prepare two pairs of purses. Your Majesty likes pink, and I happen to have a piece of silver-red brocade satin in my dowry, which looks very bright..."
The fifth elder brother looked at Guarjia's childish face and felt a little dazed.
Although he is not very old, he behaves thoughtfully in every aspect.
Especially towards the elders in the palace, I have a sense of filial piety.
Regardless of whether this filial piety is genuine, or it is for oneself, it is what the fifth elder brother has been looking forward to.
It's just that the choice is wrong.
For a moment, he was a little confused.
The fifth elder brother couldn't sit still anymore, coughed slightly, stood up, and said: "You should be busy first, I have something to do in my study..."
Guarjia stood up and said, "Then I'll see you off..."
When the fifth elder brother came out, Guarjia went to the door of the courtyard.
When the fifth elder brother waved his hand, Guarjia stopped. However, he did not rush back to the house. Instead, he stood at the door of the courtyard and watched the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother felt the heat on his back and couldn't help but turn around, and saw Gualjia smiling at him like a flower.
The fifth elder brother felt soft and said: "I'll come back tonight..."
Guarjia nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come over..."
*
When the eighth elder brother came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he listened to the news reported by his subordinates.
I knew that Jiubele Mansion was delivering food to Prince Gong’s Mansion in the morning, and that Fifth Elder Brother was coming.
He asked: "Only sent it to Prince Gong's Mansion, but not to Prince Yu's Mansion?"
The steward reported: "I only sent it to Prince Gong's Mansion. It was He Yuzhu who led the people to send it."
The eighth prince raised his eyebrows.
It's really not thorough.
If you don't do it, it's good. If you do it too much, you'll be wrong.
The same uncle, how can he favor one over the other...
