Brother Thirteenth thought about it and stopped worrying. He just said: "As long as it is something that Brother Ninth has figured out, there is nothing wrong with it. In recent years, the patent medicines of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been selling well, and the blue jewelry produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also been sold well."
It’s been popular for several years.”
The twelfth elder brother echoed: "That's natural. Ninth elder brother has the talent to manage the world."
Brother Jiu proudly said: "You will know when you come out later, you can't be wrong!"
Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about "Yanzi Pills". Who would have thought that it would be sold for so many years.
Not only the Mongolian king recognized it, but also the nobles of the capital clan recognized it.
As for whether it is to seek a child...
That's not true, it's more about "the sword never grows old" and "regaining glory".
Brother Jiu saw that this man was getting older, and not many people could serve him well.
This Guanshaoguo wine is marketed as nourishing health, but in the end it is mainly about tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang.
Brother Jiu was a little curious as he thought about the nest in Prince Xinjun's mansion and the nest in Sunubeizi's mansion.
Those two people didn't know whether they were taking medicine or not.
Immediately, he thought of Prince Yu and no longer wanted to laugh.
You still have to accept your old age. In your fifties, you are still addicted to bed matters. It is strange that it does not harm your body...
The key is to tinker with the children, what's there to be proud of?
If a son is younger than a grandson, doesn’t that mean he is too old to cultivate?
The tenth elder brother's carriage was originally behind the ninth elder brother's carriage, but because he invited the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother to sit together, the ninth elder brother asked people to give way.
In this way, the carriage of the tenth prince was at the front.
After a while, the carriage arrived at Baiweiju.
The shopkeeper got the news and knew that the Zhu Lun Chai had arrived, so he hurriedly came out to greet it.
These gentlemen have all been here before, so the shopkeeper would like to extend his greetings to all of you.
"Good morning to the fourth master, well to the fifth master, and hello to the tenth master..."
The fourth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he stretched out his hand and called out.
At this moment, the three brothers behind also got off the carriage.
The shopkeeper followed and said hello.
Brother Jiu asked: "Are the ducks and sheep roasted?"
The shopkeeper said: "It's baked..."
Brother Jiu then looked back at the people who were following him, nodded to He Yuzhu and said, "Then you take someone to Haidian."
He Yuzhu responded and went down to prepare.
It's not yet early afternoon and the guests haven't arrived yet.
The restaurant was quiet.
Brother Jiu led the brothers directly to the private room on the second floor.
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother sat on the table. On the left hand of the fourth elder brother were the ninth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother. On the right hand of the fifth elder brother were the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
Everyone got up in the middle of the night. Brother Jiu was very hungry, and the others didn't give in much.
Brother Jiu immediately ordered the shopkeeper to serve the food.
When the tea was served, the youngest thirteenth brother poured tea for his brothers.
They are not outsiders, and Brother Ninth Brother does not have the hospitality of the proprietor. He sat down and thought about the grand ceremony just now, and said: "The three who were given grace by Khan Amma are all in the third grade, and they have not even entered the second grade."
, is it hard to live up to the reputation?”
The fifth elder brother didn't quite understand these crooked ways and looked at the fourth elder brother.
Brother Si said: "It is precisely because it is grace that it is not easy to put it in Dingjia and Erjia."
Otherwise, it will easily lead to material disputes.
Grace is grace, but it cannot easily occupy the second place.
Brother Jiu said: "Every one of them is so mean and jealous that they can't even understand the imperial examination. Can you be a good official if you are given grace?"
He doesn't look down on those people anyway.
Fourth Brother reminded: "Don't say this in front of others, there is someone in your house who has given grace..."
Brother Ninth: "..."
I forgot that Cao Yueying no longer had any fame. It was because of his good writing that he gained grace and entered the Hanlin Academy and walked in the South Study Room.
"hehe……"
Brother Jiu immediately changed his tune and said: "Khan Ama has a keen eye and knows people well. Lao Cao's calligraphy is indeed good. I have already agreed with him to write some calligraphy later. Fengsheng and others will write it later."
Pro his post."
The thirteenth elder brother said: "His brother is the number one scholar in martial arts, and Cao Yin is also famous for his good shooting. What about this brother of the number one scholar?"
Cao Yueying's younger brother was the number one scholar in martial arts in the 33rd year. Later he served as a second-class guard in the palace. In the 39th year, he was sent to Shanxi as a green camp official.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "It's not as good as Chunlin, Erhe, or Fuqing, it's about the same!"
These three are the guards of Jiubele Mansion. The first two have sixteen-power bows, the ten-power bows, and the latter seven-power bows, which are pretty good.
The Thirteenth Brother praised: "That's pretty awesome, after all, he was born in Hanlin..."
Brother Jiu said: "Hanlin? Among the concubines who left the academy this year, there is a son-in-law who is a pearl. I heard that he is both civil and military."
He had never paid much attention to the imperial examinations, but this one was Nian Xiyao's younger brother, and Fusong and Yiduli took the provincial examinations in the same year. They were both famous Eight Banners talents in the capital in the 38th year, so he just remembered it.
.
The fourth elder brother said: "Nian Gengyao was born in Xiangbaiqi, and his father was the governor of Hubei."
The Nian family is under the command of the Duke of Xiangbai Banner. Because his father is a feudal official, the princes were divided among the subordinates when they lowered the banner. The subordinates of the Nian family were not divided among them.
However, Fourth Brother has also been paying attention to this family for a long time.
He, the fifth elder brother, and the seventh elder brother are all setting up white flags. The title will not stop at Dorobele. When he is promoted to a county king or a prince, the title will be divided again.
By that time, most of the people will not choose from the top three flags, but they will probably choose from the white flags.
The eldest son was talented and well-known, with a well-bred background and a wide range of intellectuals; the second son was Nian Gengyao, who had been a Jinshi for thirty-nine years.
These two brothers have a bright future.
The Nian family is a good candidate for discipleship.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "It is not easy to be the governor of Huguang. I heard that there are many refugees there and there are always Miao chaos."
The fourth elder brother said: "It's not a problem to supervise the same city."
When the governor governs the same city, the governor's military power is dispensable and he is mainly responsible for civil affairs.
Brother Jiu stayed in the Ministry of Household Affairs for a year. He remembered the governor of Hubei and said: "It is good to collect taxes and money according to the land. The big households who own the land should pay the money honestly, and there is no need to exploit the common people."
The fifth elder brother said: "That would offend people. He was impeached several times in the past two years, causing a farce of discord between governors and governors."
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama knew what he was thinking, didn't he just let him go in the end?"
On the contrary, the governor of Huguang was impeached and dismissed from office together with the governor of Hubei because of Hongmiao's looting of the place.
The governor of Hubei was also on the impeachment list, but he was only demoted one level and retained.
While we were talking, the food was almost ready.
Three main courses, roast duck, roast lamb leg and braised yellow diamond, and several side dishes.
The brothers stopped talking and looked at Brother Si.
When Brother Si picked up the chopsticks, everyone started to move too.
They were all very hungry. When the brothers were still young and could eat, more than a dozen dishes were eaten to pieces.
Brother Jiu's index finger moved greatly when he saw it, and he ate half a bowl of rice...

Haidian, North Fifth Institute.
He Yuzhu brought several guards and came back on horseback.
Because Baiweiju has special food boxes with cotton linings inside, several food boxes were still steaming when they were returned.
Shu Shu then ordered He Yuzhu: "Bring a roast duck to the empress..."
I sent back four roast ducks and two lamb chops.
Here at Gingguo, I took a roast duck and a lamb chop to Nantou Restaurant.
Shu Shu didn't save the remaining roast duck and lamb chops.
Mrs. Bo didn't want to eat meat, so she ordered the twelfth lunar month to be sent to Liusuo.
At noon, brother Fengsheng and his younger brother were eating there.
Shu Shu changed her clothes, took Dongyue with her, and personally delivered a roast duck into the North Garden.
"The chef I found is from Jiangnan. It is different from the roast duck in the palace. It is a hanging oven, and the duck skin is crispier. In addition to dipping sauce, it can also be dipped in sugar and orange jam. The imperial grandmother will try it..."
Shu Shu opened the food box and showed the roast duck inside: "It's your grandson's filial piety. I sent someone to bring it back quickly, just in time for the meal."
The Queen Mother looked at the shiny fat duck and said, "This duck is so big. It looks fatter than the ducks in the palace."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "They are raised in our own farm, they are different from free-range ducks."
These are cage-raised stuffed ducks, tender and fat, perfect for roast duck.
The Queen Mother thought that Ni Guzhu had gone to Nantou, and asked: "Are the children there?"
Shu Shu said: "There are some. I asked someone to send them away. This one is to honor the emperor's grandmother."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Okay, okay, then you can eat here for lunch."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Then my granddaughter-in-law will order. This roast duck has the meat sliced and the remaining bones are oiled. It is just right for making a salt and pepper duck rack."
"Order, order, and then ask someone to cut a plate of shredded green onions and eat with the roast duck..."
The Queen Mother said with a smile.
Shu Shu said: "I also want a plate of cucumber sticks..."

Nantou Suo, back cover room.
The two rooms in the east room are connected and look very spacious.
Because Niguzhu, Hailan and Tana were all young, San Gege asked someone to set up a kang table.
There are dried fruits, fresh fruits and candied fruits on the table, and they are about to be served as soon as they see it.
Ni Guzhu sat on the kang and felt that his eyes were not strong enough.
The second sister of the fourth uncle's family looks like a painting, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows.
The third sister of the prince's uncle's family has fair skin and a round face that looks very amiable.
The fourth sister from the uncle's family really loves to laugh and hug children. After hugging the two younger sisters once, she hugged her and never let go, and she kept touching her little hands.
The third princess in the prince's family is seven years old, and the second princess in the fourth elder brother's family is nine years old.
The two half-year-old sisters are not very young. They are different in age from the two cousins in the eldest brother's family, and they are also different in age from the cousins below.
The two of them sat next to each other. You looked at me and I looked at you, both of them curious.
Sangege is the master's family. Seeing the dignified appearance of the prince's cousin, he was puzzled.
This sister is only one year older than the fifth uncle's princess, but she is more than half a head taller, and her behavior is not chaotic.
She was also young and ignorant, so this sister from the fifth uncle's family was different from the one from the seventh uncle's family.
Sangege is already half-grown, so naturally he has heard the gossip about Wubeile Mansion.
A hole may not come from a hole.
When people mentioned the fifth aunt before, they said she was docile and virtuous. But the eldest daughter of a concubine was raised like this. It's hard to say whether she is docile or not. Her virtuousness is a bit untrue.
But it's understandable.
Sangege herself is a legitimate daughter, and her two sisters are about to get married, so she has more to think about.
The eldest son and eldest daughter are both concubines. How many legitimate wives can remain indifferent?
That is to say, the royal family. The grandson and granddaughter of the emperor are more valuable. If it were an ordinary family, the natal family would have been in trouble a long time ago...
