Room value at Lifanyuan.
The fourteenth elder brother came over and complained a lot. Seeing that the ninth elder brother did not respond, he went back to the household department with some disappointment.
Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
It was true that the older he got, the less lovable he became, and his patience with this younger brother was over.
The empress and Concubine Hui’s mother gave them double-year salary...
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this was also "rewarding for merit".
Although Concubine Hui's mother handed over the power of the palace, she still managed Zhaoxiang House and had spent a lot of time in these years.
No matter what Zhaoxiang is in charge of, we can see her intentions after seeing that all the little brothers and little princesses who were sent to Zhaoxiang Institute have passed their first birthday safely.
As for her mother-in-law, she took care of Brother Seventeen for several years and also saw to it that Concubine Gao had a safe delivery...
Three hundred taels of silver is not much, but it does cost a lot of money.
Brother Ninth also brought joy.
By noon, Brother Ninth had not returned to Baylor Mansion.
When you first arrive, you always have to appear more diligent.
Meal boxes were sent here at Baylor Mansion, but I didn't know that the fifth elder brother had changed places today and prepared two meals.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he ordered He Yuzhu: "Call Iduli and Agula to come over."
He Yuzhu went out and called someone.
Brother Jiu said: "Let's have a bite together. It just so happens that we can also talk about the official roast pot."
Yiduli smiled and said: "I have heard that the food at Master Jiu's house is good, and this time the slaves also know it."
Agula was clumsy, he only nodded his head honestly and said: "Well, well, I've seen something."
The two of them sat down under Brother Jiu.
Today's main course is grilled fish and grilled lamb chops.
The grilled fish is perilla flavored and the lamb chops are spicy.
Iduri and Agula were both shocked.
Brother Jiu only ate the meat from the belly of the fish, plus the cucumber slices stuffed in the grilled fish, and drank the soup in small sips.
The soup is vegetarian soup, winter melon and mushroom soup.
This soup moistens the lungs and clears fire, which is perfect for drinking in spring.
A talented young man from Idu, who was also well-read, also paid attention to this soup after eating it.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu said: "No need to think about it, it's very simple. The main thing is good ingredients, the best soaked mushrooms, plus the tender winter melon without water leakage. Nowadays, it's hard to see winter melon outside. I'm in Di'anmen."
There is a vegetable shop where you can order food. You can just send someone there to order later."
His family's greenhouse was large, and in the early years when there were few vegetables in Dongzi, it was used to carry out ceremonies and honor the palace. Later, everyone's greenhouse was used, and when Dongzi Cai became rich, he ran a vegetable shop in Di'anmen.
Yiduli nodded and said: "Well, well, I went to Di'anmen as soon as I got out of office. After the beginning of spring, I started to cough. I tried different prescriptions several times, but nothing worked."
Since last winter, his mother has been lingering on the sick bed.
I survived the New Year, but I kept getting phlegm and had a bad cough.
Winter melon just moistens the lungs and relieves cough.
Brother Jiu thought that his pharmacy always kept "Mi Li Pu" ointment, which was used to relieve coughs, as well as lily powder, kudzu root powder, lotus root powder and so on.
He planned to go back and see if there was anything that was hard to find outside and bring a copy to Iduri.
Thinking like this, he looked at Agula and said, "How is your old man and your old lady doing?"
Agula lost his father when he was young and his mother when he was young, so he lived with his grandfather and grandmother.
The third generation single biography is talking about him, so he is strong but does not wear armor as a servant.
But even if they are from the grandparents generation, in terms of age, they are similar to Ama from Iduli.
Agula said: "They are both strong and strong. My servant Mafa can still fire a ten-power bow, but my servant Ma Ma can still drink a pound of wine."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's really good..."
Yiduli and Agula worked as colleagues for a year, and later worked as servants for Brother Ninth. They were also familiar with each other, and asked: "When has your wedding been postponed?"
If you have an only son and only grandson, having heirs is a big deal.
Agula's grandparents also gave him a chance to look for a wife early on. After the draft the year before last, they chose a well-matched family and changed their posts.
Last year, Agula was busy with work, and the wedding was scheduled for October.
However, due to the outbreak of pox in the capital later, banquets everywhere were stopped, so the wedding was postponed.
After a month's delay, the bride's family lost an ancestor and became a bereaved family, so the wedding was delayed again.
Agula said: "Extension until the end of this year..."
After collecting the lunch boxes, Brother Jiu got down to business and said, "You guys go to Tongzhou tomorrow and take a closer look at the official village next to the woolen cloth workshop, and then ask if the people nearby have any idle staff. Don't worry.
Come back and find out more about it before we talk."
In Zhili Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, and Baoding Prefecture, it is strictly prohibited to cook pots. In other prefectures in Zhili Province, it is forbidden in lean years but not in good years, but the scale is limited.
Brother Jiu thought of this and said, "Go back to the area where the pots are and investigate carefully."
You can't build a pot-shaking village just because your eyes are black.
Iduri and Agula looked at each other with excitement.
They were all born in Beijing and raised in Beijing. The farthest places they have visited are Tongzhou and Xianghe.
Now that I have returned from Tongzhou, I can go on a long mission. How can I not be excited?
Brother Jiu was hesitating whether the two of them should go out together or split up.
However, thinking about their age, both seventeen, I gave up the idea of two ways.
They are all half-grown children and have no experience yet, so we might as well get along together.
After receiving the order, the two of them went to Tongzhou. Without delay, they went to the administrative office to make a report, then went home to pack their luggage, planning to go to Tongzhou in the afternoon.
Brother Jiu, on the other hand, ordered He Yuzhu to go to the doctor's office and ask for the drawings of the ranch at Mulan Paddock.
Apart from anything else, this deer antler and deer blood paste are both ingredients for medicinal wine.
He has been to Mulan Paddock and knows how vast it is, with abundant water and grass, and lush mountains and forests.
In addition to various deer and game, there are also various mushrooms and herbs.
What a pity that something that was born to last was wasted like that.
That's a cornucopia...
Brother Jiu is thinking.
Since it is open source in the name of official business, it cannot be done in a small way. This year's income must be tens of thousands or even ten thousand to be able to make a living. There is no need to make a living at three, five hundred or ten thousand.
There was movement at the door.
It's Wei Zhu who's here.
"Master Jiu, the emperor's biography is here!"
Brother Ninth stood up and listened, and said, "Brother Five, are they still in front of the emperor?"
Wei Zhu shook his head and said: "After following the emperor back from Prince Yu's Mansion, you guys went back to the Yamen."
Brother Jiu understood that in the morning the emperor summoned his sons and took them to Prince Yu's Mansion.
He did not delay, took He Yuzhu with him, and followed Wei Zhu out.
"But what's wrong with Uncle Wang?"
Brother Jiu whispered.
Even if something is inappropriate, shouldn’t it still be passed on to the imperial physician?
Can't reach your own head.
Wei Zhu shook his head and said: "The prince's condition has not changed much."
Brother Ninth asked no more questions.
Looking at Prince Yu's current situation, I, my nephew, couldn't bear to see it, let alone my brother, my royal father.
Could it be that the old man was in a bad mood and wanted to scold his son, so he called him over?
Brother Jiu was worried, but also secretly glad.
Fortunately, I was not in a hurry to return to Baylor Mansion today, otherwise, the lessons I would have to suffer would have been doubled.
When we arrived at the Qianqing Palace and entered the Xinuang Pavilion, Brother Jiu was very well-behaved and said hello honestly. He looked very well-behaved.
When Kangxi saw it, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you acting like a quail? What bad things have you done?"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "My son is wronged. Although my son has just entered the Lifan Academy, he has never been idle. His mind is full of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and he is working hard..."
Speaking of this, he thought that he still had a salary from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so when he went to the Lifan Courtyard, how could this be regarded as his annual salary?
When he thought of this, he asked directly, "Khan Ama, my son is working in this courtyard, at what level will he receive his salary?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "There is no rank and no salary. You are studying, so what salary will you get?"
Brother Jiu heard this and bared his teeth and said: "Then what is your son doing with Baal so much? He thought he was in his position to seek his own government, but he has no position here?"
I forgot to ask something before, but I didn’t expect that the ministry walk would be like this.
So what were the brothers who were busy working from dawn to dusk these days?
It’s no wonder that in the early years, the princes and princes of the clan were scrambling for errands in the ministry, but these days they wish to stay away from them.
No one is a fool.
If you don’t have money to take, what are you worrying about?
Kangxi glared at him and said: "A majestic prince only has money in his eyes and no future!"
Brother Jiu's face showed confusion as he said: "My son is not short of these hundred and ten taels of silver, but he just feels awkward. Isn't this all work in vain?"
Then who would be happy?
Kangxi said: "You are the prince's elder brother, not a small official trying to make a career. Isn't it right for you to share my worries?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
This is not wrong either.
He nodded honestly and said: "My son is thinking too much..."
Family, country and world.
This is Khan Amma's world, Khan Amma's court, they received titles as sons, and it is not easy to make money by doing "miscellaneous work" in the ministry.
For example, when Fengsheng and the others grow up, they patrol the village on his behalf and shop shops on Fujin's behalf, and then go to him and Fujin to ask for a share of their hard work, which is really outrageous.
Before, Brother Ninth had thought that when walking in the monastery, he should plan well, and if he had merit, he would save up and exchange for favors.
As a result, I don’t even have a salary, so how can I still record merit?
