Chapter 498: Looking for Parents (First update, asking for monthly votes)
It turned out that Kangxi was worried about Brother Ninth, so he just asked, but found out that there was no movement after he entered here.
The new yard in front was cleared, and Brother Ten took Shi Fujin to settle it, but Brother Ninth and his wife were not seen moving here.
Thinking of the embarrassment that Ninth Prince was in before, Kangxi felt his fatherly heart and came to visit him personally.
This is the residence of the Queen Mother. Before going to visit her son, it is very important to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. That's what happened.
Aunt Bai was at the door. When she saw the person, she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty..."
It was a wake-up call for the grandparents and grandchildren in the house.
Brother Jiu covered his mouth, looking a little pitiful, and looked at the Queen Mother and said: "Grandma Huang..."
The Queen Mother pointed at him and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense again in the future."
Brother Jiu nodded as if he was pounding garlic.
He finally understood what "if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences in front of you".
Fourth brother is right, as long as it involves Khan Amma, he should mutter in his heart and should not say it out loud.
Once it is said out loud, it does not matter whether the Khan Amma hears it directly or whether someone else hears it and spreads gossip.
Brother Jiu felt that it was time for him to have a better memory, and then he felt calm.
He quickly stood up and looked at Kangxi with a smile: "Khan Ama!"
Seeing the speed of his change of expression, Kangxi snorted coldly and said, "Now that I know it's Khan Ama, what did you say just now?"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu hesitated and said, "Didn't this happen when my son came over just now and met the steward of the Li family talking to Li Xu? He said something like he had found it, and he also mentioned noble people..."
What happened to the Li family?
I offered my beauty once and got the sweetness, but I still want to give it back a second time?
Because of the king's nobleman's affairs, the nobles of the Eight Banners often murmured in the early years.
It is a national policy for banner people not to marry. It is inappropriate for the emperor to do this.
It also involves the interests of the Eight Banners.
Nowadays, whether it is the Eight Banners draft or the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft, the concubines selected are all flag girls.
He has added many relatives to the harem. Even if it is not his turn this time, there will be another time.
If she were changed to a commoner girl, she could also enter the palace. There were so many beauties in the world that the noble girls of the Eight Banners could not compare with.
Kangxi glanced at him angrily and said, "What stories are you thinking about? Wang Gui is credited with giving birth to a child. I asked Li Xu to look for her parents before."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu frowned and said, "What's going on? The people who were arranged by the Li family to enter the palace didn't know the basics. They were simply daring!"
Kangxi looked calm and said: "Do you think I am an old fool?"
Brother Jiu shut his mouth, but his face still showed dissatisfaction.
People of unknown origin were sent to the palace. If they had evil intentions, Li Xu would not be wronged even if they were beheaded.
Seeing the quarrel between father and son, the Queen Mother said to the ninth elder brother: "Wang Guiren's origin is not unknown, but his family is poor and he was sold to the Li family by his parents as an adopted daughter."
This adopted daughter is naturally a euphemistic way of saying it.
Because the law prohibits "buying a good person for a low price", nowadays, except for official slaves and maidservants, most people raise slaves in the name of "raising sons" or "raising daughters".
Brother Jiu also knew this and said angrily: "What else do such cruel parents do? Why should they be allowed to enjoy dignity?"
The Queen Mother was born in Mongolia, a place where sons are valued over daughters. She couldn't understand the thoughts of her parents, so she turned to Kangxi.
Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu and frowned and said: "You were born in the palace and grew up in the palace. You don't know the sufferings of the world. You are a common people. You can't survive natural and man-made disasters. This is just a way to survive. Do you want the whole family to die together?"
Brother Jiu himself is not a generous person, but he can roughly guess what Wang Guiren is thinking.
Or maybe it’s really hard to let go of the flesh and blood, and you want to kiss your father and mother.
Perhaps she just couldn't get rid of her resentment and wanted to show them how well she was doing.
In Ninth Brother's opinion, it is completely unnecessary.
You will definitely be taken advantage of by then.
Thinking of this, the ninth elder brother hurriedly said: "Huang Ama, please don't be too generous with the rewards when people come over. Be careful that your grudges are hard to satisfy. Just give them a false name. Let the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother look better and reward them with silver."
Save it!”
Kangxi looked at him with a black face and said, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The ninth elder brother said frankly: "Even if I don't think it's worth it, I can give the money to the noble man and leave it to the two elder brothers as pocket money."
Kangxi still wanted to lecture, but the Queen Mother said from the side: "Brother Jiu is right, you can't take advantage of others."
Seeing that the Queen Mother wanted to protect someone, Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "Brother Jiu spoke so freely and did not understand the importance. He should not have spoken on this matter..."
If this were spread, what would they say about Brother Jiu?
It seems that he has a crooked heart and does not allow his concubine’s mother’s family to get ahead of her.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said: "Brother has a distant mind. He is afraid that Wang and the two younger brothers will suffer in the future. If my uncle is not good enough and takes care of his nephew, what can the nephew do?"
Brother Jiu nodded beside him and said: "Yes, yes, Khan Ama, that's what my son means. When the time comes, there will still be filial piety, and it's hard to ignore the outsiders. But people like this sell their sons and daughters.
, If you don’t care for your own daughter, how can you care for your grandson? Then it will be my brother’s trouble!”
Kangxi thought of Guo Luoluo's family.
Brother Jiu is not close to that country, so it is understandable that he looks down on the Wang family.
It's just that this is Jiangnan, and Confucian etiquette talks about "the parents of all people in the world."
The father is the guide for the son, and the guide is always irreversible.
Kangxi said to the ninth elder brother: "This is not something that a junior can comment on. From now on, shut up and go down. If you continue to talk too much, I will fine you three years' salary!"
Brother Ninth immediately became honest.
He is not short of money now, but his salary is different.
I always feel that this is the foundation for a man to support his family. If it is missing, he will lose his confidence.
He said to the Queen Mother: "Royal Grandmother, my grandson is going down first. Please talk to Khan Amma and don't let anyone take advantage of you."
The Queen Mother nodded and said lovingly: "Go, go."
Brother Jiu limped down.
The Queen Mother looked at his back with distress, and turned to Kangxi and said: "Don't scold him, just for the sake of filial piety."
Kangxi rubbed his brows and said: "I just indulge him too much. I dare to say anything and get involved in anything!"
The Queen Mother laughed and said: "Who asked him to be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? When the time comes when the emperor rewards the royal family, he will definitely use money from the inner treasury. It is also related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it is not a violation of the rules."
Wang Guiren has served well over the years and has given birth to a son with great merit. Kangxi had previously asked people to find the Wang family and planned to move to the capital with the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After hearing Brother Jiu's complaints, he really changed his mind.
Yes, having multiple uncles and grandfathers is not a good thing for the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers.
If my mother-in-law was of good family background, it would be a blessing to the prince's brother.
Such a small family will only be held back.
When the time comes, we won’t be able to help one or two generations.
Thinking of this, Kangxi looked at the door.
I forgot to punish the ninth elder brother just now. If you talk nonsense about your father like this, even if you don't punish your father with a salary, you should still fast for ten days and pray for yourself!

Brother Jiu returned to the east wing, looking as if he had escaped.
Shu Shu was not surprised when she saw him.
Kangxi passed away, and now there is no talk of mice avoiding cats between father and son, but every time the ninth elder brother speaks out, he is often scolded.
Brother Jiu whispered: "In the future, I will remember clearly that whenever Khan Amma is mentioned, no matter who is in front or behind, he must sing praises and praises. He will not say anything bad, but just murmur in his heart."
At this point, he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Why did fourth brother think of admonishing the master? Is he like this himself, hahahaha!"
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing him like this, Shu Shu felt much lighter.
If you are punished, you will be punished. At this time, father, father and son do not need to be so careful.
The luggage is almost packed.
Because Kangxi was in the upper chamber, Shu Shu didn't go there either. It was dinner time in a while. He only went to the west wing to say hello to Jiu Gege, and then followed Jiu Age to move to the courtyard.
Shu Shu's previous residence was on East Road, and her new residence is in the garden to the west of Zhizao Mansion. There are several small courtyards in front of it.
The prince's brother who was accompanying him was assigned to live here.
There are three small courtyards in total.
Before, the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother lived in the same courtyard, and the eldest elder brother and the seventh elder brother lived in the same courtyard.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother share a courtyard.
In order to make room for the ninth elder brother and his wife and the tenth elder brother and his wife, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother moved to the eldest elder brother's yard.
When Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother went to the West Garden, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother were still there.
Both of them were waiting for Brother Jiu to come over, but their intentions were different.
When the fourteenth elder brother saw the ninth elder brother, he said: "Ninth brother, ninth brother, my brother has made room for you!"
This is a sign of merit.
Although he looked annoying before, but after not seeing each other for two months, Brother Jiu was still very close to this younger brother and said with a smile: "Well, I appreciate it. I'll find a meal at the biggest restaurant in Suzhou City tomorrow!"
The fourteenth elder brother immediately smiled brightly and said, "Then my brother will be waiting."
The world of Suzhou and Hangzhou is paradise on earth.
When you arrive at the most prosperous place in the world, who doesn’t want to go out and play?
But his brothers were very serious, and no one wanted to play with him. He was not a little smart, but he stared at Brother Ninth who came to "welcome" him.
Seeing that Brother Ninth was so talkative, Brother Fourteen glanced at the empty west wing, then stepped forward and said: "Brother Ninth, Brother Ninth, you don't know, we are crowded over there. Originally it was the eldest brother and the seventh brother.
, Now I went with Brother Thirteen, Brother Eight came back from his errand and passed by..."
After hearing this, Brother Ninth's smile faded, and he interrupted Brother Fourteen and said, "Don't even think about it. I plan to catch up on my sleep these two days, so I won't let you come over and cause trouble!"
As for the eighth prince, forget it.
The fourteenth elder brother wanted to say more, but the thirteenth elder brother came over and said, "Ninth elder brother is riding all the way here?"
Brother Jiu nodded and felt a burning pain on the inside of his thigh.
It's okay if you didn't notice it before, but once you notice it, it tastes sour and refreshing.
The thirteenth elder brother came to please him and said with expectation, "Guards, the guards also have two horses and two saddles?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "What are you thinking about? It's useless, Khan Amma won't let you get off the boat!"
This is Jiangnan, a place where security is critical.
I guess the eldest brother and the fifth brother will have to make arrangements. Children like the thirteenth brother, who are not yet adults, should not join in the fun.
The thirteenth elder brother drooped his head and immediately withered.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers left.
Quietness also returned to the courtyard.
The elder brother and his wife occupied three main rooms.
The eleventh elder brother and his wife live in the third room in the east wing.
Shu Shu looked at the yard next door and said to Xiaosong: "Did you see Wufujin when you passed by?"
Xiaosong thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."
Shu Shu was a little worried.
There are differences between men and women. The ninth and tenth elder brothers come as they come, but there is also the tenth prince.
Wufujin got the news and should have gone over to check, but there has been no movement yet.
Isn't it because you feel unwell?
