Chapter 429: Sheng En (please ask for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
"My son's place has a simple population, and there are no serious jobs. The chief of ceremonies is just a make-up..."
Brother Jiu said disapprovingly.
Kangxi hesitated.
The chief of ceremonies is a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, so it is best for the Ninth Prince to use it conveniently.
"Did you tell your mother that the Guo Luoluo family has no backup candidates?"
Brother Jiu was puzzled and said: "This is the person my son wants to use. What does it have to do with the Guo Luoluo family? Why do you want to mention this to your empress?"
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and felt helpless: "This is the principle of human nature..."
The other princes all promoted their uncle's family. Although the Guo Luoluo family was ineffective, Brother Jiu still had to worry about Concubine Yi's face.
If someone from the father-in-law's family gives up his uncle's family to be promoted without even saying hello, if he is narrow-minded, it may be difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with them.
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "As long as their family can find something useful, their sons will not be in need of help. All of them are useless and will not do anything except being greedy for money. Just stay in Shengjing. Don't do anything else."
Just go to the capital and make do, bother me!"
Kangxi even envied Brother Jiu's straightforwardness.
Acting really casually.
Previously, I felt that Gao Yanzhong could be used, so he was promoted to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the boys from the Gao family were also promoted to serve as senior officials.
The Guo Luoluo family had no intention of raising any objections.
If only he could do this to the Tong family.
There is no need to tolerate Elundai's bad temper, and there is no need to worry about Longkodo's cousin.
"Did you think of this candidate, or did you, Fujin, propose it?"
Kangxi pondered and asked.
He attaches great importance to the Hesheli family, although it is because of the Empress Yuan, but more importantly because of the prince.
It is a good thing for a son and his daughter-in-law to be in harmony with each other, but if the daughter-in-law tries to promote her parents, that is something he cannot tolerate.
When Brother Jiu came over, he had already thought of his words and didn't stumble at all when he spoke.
"Of course it was my son's idea. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Fusong sent his son's brother-in-law to the West Garden. My son happened to see it and knew that Lao Shi was choosing a son-in-law for his cousin. He thought it was just right... Brother Fusong was raised by my father-in-law.
There is nothing wrong with this character, and he looks better than his son's brothers-in-law, but his life is harder. He lost his mother when he was born, and his stepmother is unkind. Although Niu Hulu's princess is the daughter of Phoenix Nest, she is also known by her parents.
I was too tired to look for my husband's family in a wealthy family, so my son started talking to Lao Shi..."
He was careful and changed the order.
After Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I have just punished Lao Shi before, and you have made this mistake again. You are only a few years old. You don't learn how to do a good job, and you still engage in such noisy things as keeping matchmakers and pulling women!"
Brother Jiu told the truth: "This is not because the son feels that his son Fujin has worked hard. He is grateful to his father-in-law and mother-in-law for their upbringing, and he is thinking about repaying the favor. However, their family is running a red flag, and in the future, the brothers-in-law will not be able to fill in the gaps.
At first, brother Fusong is more pitiful. He lacks a future, so his son can help him, and he will have many capable people around him in the future, which is the best of both worlds."
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "You also know that your Fujin has worked hard. If you are more sensible and stop fooling around, she will be able to worry a lot less!"
The reason why Concubine Yi asked Jiu Fujin to serve the Queen Mother was not hidden from Kangxi.
Kangxi also knew a thing or two about the situation in the two institutes.
He also came here at this age and knew that young people are the most greedy for pleasure and would not like to be in the face of Brother Jiu, so he said it tactfully and wanted to give him a few pointers.
Brother Jiu smiled "hehe" and didn't understand what was going on at all. He just took it literally and said: "This person always has something to do, and he can't be idle all the time. He has to worry when he should worry!"
Kangxi was helpless and warned him: "I know you stopped taking tonics, but you are not allowed to fool around. You must rest and recuperate, and you must not damage your body."
Only then did Brother Jiu realize that this statement had the same meaning as Shu Shu's "recharge your batteries".
He was unhappy and said: "Khan Ama, you have misunderstood. We just lie down together to talk and be companions and do nothing else. You and your wife are just worrying blindly. Is your son the ignorant person?"
When Kangxi saw that he was speaking freely and talking about everything, he had a headache and said: "Okay, okay, I understand..."
If we continue talking, we have to listen to the matter of our son’s bed.
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "You should take note of Fusong's story. When he comes out next month, he will be poor and rich, and he will be able to live in Hukou with a lot of salary. By then, his son will be more arrogant in the Yue family!"
Kangxi heard that the words were wrong, frowned and said: "Fusong is the eldest son, even if he is raised by his aunt, there is no reason for this adult to leave the house cleanly?"
Brother Jiu said helplessly: "But this principle is a principle, and human feelings are human relationships. Their family has been ruined for several generations. They have no serious work, are sitting on nothing, and have little property left. His stepmother is still very strict about what her son wants.
It’s pointless to fight over three melons and two dates, it’s better to come out early.”
Kangxi pondered: "Is the situation of the abolished clan so bad?"
Even if the ancestral status is changed for various reasons, it still shows the bloodline of the ancestors.
Ordinary people in the Eight Banners have hard-core crops, are these ancestral bloodlines worse than ordinary people?
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "The Fusong family is pretty good. They have old books to build on, and cousins have restored their clan status, and they live in the same neighborhood... But there are also things that cannot be taken care of. Guess what happened to Fusong's family?"
Deadly..."
At this point, he told the story of how Fusong Ama was retaliated against after offending the leader of the Xianglan Banner.
"When my son heard this, he was still curious, wondering if there was any serious grudge. Finally, he asked about the reason. It was ridiculous that the counselor had a widowed sister in his family, and he fell in love with Fusong Ama. At that time,
Fusong Ani died of illness, and the widow wanted to marry Fusong Ama as a continuation. She was a fat man, five years older than Fusong Ama. Fusong Ama refused, and said a few words, "There is no shortage of mothers."
The man was offended and he did not dare to deal with Fusong Ama directly, so he sent his father-in-law and brother-in-law to the military register. As a result, both father and son died, and the family was wiped out..."
Kangxi's face turned dark as he listened.
Bannermen are more likely to be on the military register than Ding, but the only son is different. Most of them are used as logistics supplies and do not go to the battlefield.
This revenge is not only vicious, but also violates the law.
"Prince Jian's palace will let them be bullied?"
Kangxi's voice was filled with displeasure.
The clan of Xianglan Banner has been abolished. They are the descendants of Amin and belong to the clan of Prince Jian's Mansion.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "These are several generations old, and they are poor relatives with no future, and they cannot touch the gate of the palace."
Kangxi said nothing, but kept the matter in mind.
Even if it is a leather belt, it cannot be insulted.
Otherwise, it would set a precedent and they would lose respect for the royal family and the clan.
Brother Ninth also noticed that the emperor's father was in a bad mood, so he resigned happily without any further entanglement.
Kangxi felt a little blocked in his heart.
I won’t see Brother Jiu before dinner!
Just let him wait!
*
In the second institute, Shu Shu was still thinking about telling Jiu Gege about the eunuch.
If she had taken care of the eunuch, it would have been either Zhou Song or Sun Jin, but she actually didn't have many eunuchs.
It’s really not as convenient as taking a Komatsu with you.
I'm tired from the boat ride, but I can still relax.
She thought about it and did not go to Ningshou Palace.
When we were in the West Garden first, Jiu Gege mentioned that she had not seen the study room of the Second Institute yet, so it was a good time to invite her over to sit there.
Shu Shu sent Xiao Chun for a walk and asked Jiu Gege if he had time in the past two days. If so, he could come and sit down.
As a result, when Xiao Chun came back, Jiu Gege followed him directly.
"I was just thinking about Sister-in-law Ninth, she is free today!"
Jiugege said with a smile.
Shu Shu hurriedly stood up to greet her, took her hand in, and led her directly to the study room in the east corner, saying: "Come in quickly, I have something to ask you..."
Since the two of them moved to the garden, the curtains and bedding in the study have been taken away.
When we moved back this time, Brother Jiu refused to split rooms again, so Shu Shu let him.
What Jiu Gege saw was a neat study room.
There are several books on the bookcase.
There is a small table on the south kang with a tea set on it.
The layout of the study room in the south of the lotus pond in the West Garden is very similar, except that the room is more spacious than that one.
There is also an eye-catching bookcase with a ceiling full of books.
Jiu Gege's eyes were bright and she asked with urgency: "Sister-in-law Jiu, can I borrow these books?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "What can't you do? If you want to see anything, just send someone to pick it up..."
Speaking of this, Shu Shu asked curiously: "My sister's side is next to Jingyang Palace. Is there still a shortage of books to read?"
Jiu Gege whispered: "It's very inconvenient to keep records when borrowing books over there."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "I forgot about this."
A boudoir girl like Jiu Gege will definitely not like big guys in the classics and history genre, or some collections of poems and notes.
It's not a serious book.
I left it on the palace shelf and borrowed it frequently, so no one would talk to me about it.
Shu Shu saw that she was looking from the left to the right of the bookcase, and then back to the left. She had no direction, so she took out a book box and said: "This is "Tokyo Menghua Lu", which is very interesting. It is a Song Dynasty person's notebook, with a lot of records.
Song people eat food..."
Jiugege took it and opened it to the author's preface. When he saw the description of the capital of the Song Dynasty, he couldn't help but yearn for it and said: "Okay, then I will borrow this book first."
Shu Shu realized later that her hands were a little too fast.
This "Tokyo Menghua Lu" depicts the scene of the capital city in the prosperous period of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is actually a memoir. The Song Dynasty capital was destroyed, the ancestral temples were destroyed, and the subjects fled south. The author wrote this book with a love for the past.
Jiu Gege was considerate, thinking about Shu Shu's words just now, and asked with a smile: "What do you want to tell me, Sister-in-law Jiu?" Shu Shu mentioned the manpower issue.
"I just want to ask if my sister is taking care of the eunuch or the nun. If I have some errands later, I might as well run an errand and send a message or something. Otherwise, one of the three girls of mine will have to stay at home."
Jiu Gege said with a smile: "I have arranged for Nanny Lin to follow me. Sister Ninth will only do the bidding. I will definitely not be happy. Everyone knows that Sister Ninth will be generous with rewards..."
Nanny Lin is Jiu Gege's wet nurse, and she will marry her in the future. She has a quiet and reserved temperament, but treats Jiu Gege very well.
Shu Shu has been walking around a lot with Jiu Gege in the past few days, and has also met Granny Lin twice.
It's a hassle-free one.
Shu Shu said: "My sister is a golden branch. I don't know that we are the prince Fujin, and the family is worried about us. Who can climb a high branch? The family is not at ease, for fear of being bullied. Not only will we spend the whole family to accompany you, but we still have to worry about it."
Daily pocket money!”
Jiu Gege said: "It's pity that the hearts of parents in the world are nothing more than this."
Shu Shu nodded.
There is another saying: If you don’t raise a child, you will not know the kindness of your parents.
Shu Shu felt that it was not very applicable to her.
She didn't raise them, but she remembered the time when Eni gave birth to Xiaowu and Xiaoliu.
Really hard work.
Every mother deserves respect.
Maybe some people are deficient in loving their children. Not all mothers and children have a perfect fate, like Concubine De and Si Age, but the grace of childbirth cannot be erased...
