Brother Jiu entered the room and saw Kangxi sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand and thinking deeply.
He didn't make a sound, but yawned.
Tears came out.
The corners of the eyes are moist.
It's not yet early morning, and I've been sleeping for an hour and a half.
Brother Jiu was also tired, and his eyes had begun to look around the room, looking for a chair.
Kangxi raised his head and saw his thief-minded appearance. He frowned and said, "Stand still!"
Brother Jiu immediately stood up straight, but his mouth was not up to par and he was about to yawn again.
He quickly covered his mouth.
Kangxi was very unhappy and said: "It's early in the morning. I'm so low on energy. How come I'm so tired after doing so well?"
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "It's my son's fault. Last night I was greedy and ate a few more mouthfuls. My stomach was so heavy that I couldn't sleep. I took my son Fujin to gossip and missed his sleep. I didn't close my eyes until after midnight..."
Kangxi was very disgusted and said: "Others know how to trouble you Fujin, but if you don't comfort me, why bother?"
People who are dedicated to building a family and a career have no responsibility.
Dong E's family is also unlucky to have such a husband.
Brother Jiu said with a hint of shamelessness: "You can't cry with your son. We haven't seen him twice. This distracting conversation will save my son Fujin from being uncomfortable."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "I can only use strong words to argue..."
As he spoke, he asked as if he had no intention of doing so: "What kind of gossip are you talking about?"
Brother Jiu stretched out his fingers, counted them, and said: "I'm talking about several things. The first one is that the former daughter-in-law of the Xindali family, Guizhen, the eldest sister of the current King of Shuncheng County, left.
Dong E's family is married, and she is outside in the dowry house. When her son Fujin got married, she gave a dowry to Zhuangzi as a dowry. When she heard that she left the uncle's house, her son Fujin mentioned this matter. He thought that he could not take advantage of it.
It’s cheap. I plan to ask someone to see if I can buy a shop. When she gets married again, her son takes Fujin to buy..."
Kangxi was noncommittal.
Because of the bad custom of "accepting stepmarriage" outside the customs, the clan was criticized in the early years.
In recent years, not many clan wives and clan daughters have remarried.
But that is widowhood.
Someone like Guizhen Gege, who is 17 or 18 years old and is divorced, will naturally want to remarry.
Brother Jiu mentioned the second thing and said, "Xindali died of illness, and my son Fujin was a little scared. He was worried about his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He also advised his son to be more filial to Khan Amma and his mother-in-law in the future, and his son was free to think.
I am looking for a piece of land in Chunyuan. In the future, when Khan Amma is running the government in the garden, it will be convenient for my son to pay greetings to Khan Amma and the empress..."
Having said this, he smiled "hehe" and said: "There is only one thing left. I thought I would make a plan and mention it to you later. Now that you have passed it on, my son will also tell you that it is the Ji family..."
He mentioned that he wanted to purchase Jijiahu stones in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Khan Ama, let's not talk about other things, let's just talk about the royal grandmother's new garden. We also need to build rockery bonsai. This is indispensable..."
Kangxi listened and pondered for a while.
It was actually the first time I passed through Suzhou, and it was so embarrassing for my family and ministers.
At this time, giving the Ji family the title of Imperial Merchant would make up for one or two things.
The Ji family is not an ordinary businessman. They are also a family of eunuchs, with a well-established family background and luxuriant branches. Their in-laws and old friends are spread all over the scholarly forests in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Go back and make a careful plan!"
Kangxi made the final decision.
Brother Jiu grinned and said, "If it happens, my son will feel at ease. It was his son who uncovered the Suzhou Lake Quarry. If the Ji family is really cheated, then my son will not be disappointed."
Kangxi glanced at him unexpectedly and said, "You are quite compassionate!"
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Isn't this how I spent the whole day with the imperial grandmother burning incense and worshiping the Buddha? The knowledgeable guests in the temple always talk about cause and effect. My son is timid, so I thought it would be better to owe less."
Kangxi frowned after hearing this.
The Queen Mother and her concubines worshiped the Buddha, and he supported them so that they could pass the time.
But the princes worship Buddha...
Okay, no energy left!
Kangxi reprimanded: "Buddha and Taoism, just understand them, don't indulge!"
Brother Jiu lowered his hands and listened, and responded honestly, saying: "Well, my son understands that we are not very good enemies. If you continue to listen, I'm afraid I won't be able to kill chickens and pigs next time!"
Who knows about the six paths of reincarnation, whether the chickens and pigs were humans in their previous lives?
Kangxi listened.
This is the impact of doctrine.
If Buddhism, Taoism, and Fan religion become popular in the Eight Banners, it cannot be said to be a disaster, but also a huge hidden danger.
Is this what you want to say right now?
Kangxi lowered his head, glanced at the book in his hand, and finally understood why Brother Nine could only sleep after five o'clock.
It's so nonsense.
And there is no direction, it will be pulled far away.
He asked: "What do you think about the Dong E family's affairs? How can this second-class uncle inherit the law?"
Brother Jiu heard this, but did not rush to answer. Instead, he thought about it carefully and said, "My son remembers that the title of their family comes from his son Fujin's great-grandfather and Shuo Fu, who are military meritorious uncles. So...
"
There was no downgrade before, so what about this time?
He endured his excitement and did not ask for mercy.
Because I know that will not please me.
Kangxi threw the zhezi on the desk and said, "Read it before talking."
Brother Jiu was curious and stepped forward to take out the folding book. When he saw the font, he looked familiar.
This way of writing is somewhat similar to Shu Shu's.
He ignored the content and turned directly to the last page to read the inscription, "Dorog Gejilan", which turned out to be Mrs. Bo's secret book.
Seeing his anxious behavior, Kangxi shook his head helplessly.
Brother Jiu had already turned back to the front page and read on, with a look of surprise on his face. It turned out that this was a letter of apology on behalf of his husband.
Mrs. Bo did not hide anything. She told the inside story of the uncle's death, as well as the doubts about Xi Zhu's bloodline. She also talked about the promise made by Duo Luo's son-in-law Xindali to her mother many years ago before her mother-in-law's bedside, "the succession of uncles and nephews."
The title passed down from the ancestors of Dong E's family was transferred to his uncle's younger brother Qi Xi.
When Brother Jiu saw it, he couldn't help but said angrily: "There is such a promise, why didn't Xinda Li accept it?"
Kangxi glanced at him angrily and said, "If you were asked to give your title and all your family property to your nephew instead of your son, would you be willing?"
Although it is hateful, it is not unusual.
Brother Jiu said, "But this is not his title and family property. It is passed down from Dong E's family. If he earns the credit and family property by himself, it would be really unfair. Since this is passed down, if he does not follow the promise, then it will be wrong."
Have you cheated the prince?"
Kangxi said: "This time, you should have some fun, right?!"
Brother Jiu didn't hide it and raised his eyebrows, but thinking of Xi Zhu's body, he still said a few more words and said: "My son didn't know there was a hidden meaning in it at first. At that time, he felt that Xi Zhu didn't look like he would live a long life.
, if he died in a short life, it would be a pity to have his title reduced again."
After saying this, he still couldn't help but ask: "Khan Ama, how will this title be transferred?"
My father-in-law is of the same generation as my uncle. This time he is not a knight, but a first-level transfer, right?!
Kangxi glanced at him and said: "This is Dong E's family matter. Even if the branch is transferred, they have to submit the list of titles themselves."
There is no reason why the emperor directly designated it.
Brother Jiu heard that this was wrong and said hurriedly, "But there are no concubines in this room, only these two brothers."
Speaking of this, he thought of Peng Chun's sons.
When he got married, those guys were not very friendly to his cousins in Dutong Mansion.
"Isn't it because Peng Chun is also concerned about this prince?"
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "He has several sons, but this title is not enough..."
Kangxi stroked his forehead, but he still hadn't read all of "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty".
Unless Qi Xi and his son make serious mistakes or die, this title has nothing to do with the other heads of the Dong E family.
Seeing his expression, Brother Jiu knew that he had guessed wrong and said confusedly, "My son can't think of anyone other than his father-in-law who can inherit the title..."
"What Jilan mentioned was a transfer, but the Dong'e clan may not agree. They should be more optimistic about adoption."
Kangxi said.
No matter how confused Xinda Li is, it is still an internal matter, and there is nothing wrong with it outside.
There are doubts about Xizhu's bloodline, so Jilange's seal is secretly folded, which is also to cover up the shame of her deceased husband.
Since his concubine is a concubine, it is more in line with the world for his adoptive nephew to inherit his title and family property and support his widow.
Just like when they were both childless, their adopted brother and Shuo Tu's son were their heirs.
Brother Jiu heard this and muttered: "What is there to compare with this? This title belongs to the prince, and the property follows the title. If he is gone, it will be his son's father-in-law's turn. If he insists on having an inheritance, his son's father-in-law will be his father-in-law."
What are you going to do if you go over there? There are many princes and dukes in the clan who have exterminated their heirs, and many of them have directly transferred their heirs, and I have never heard of anyone having to 'continue'..."
Kangxi frowned.
He hasn't made up his mind either.
Dong E's family is a giant in Zhenghongqi.
Except for a few occasions, the Manchurian governor of Zhenghong Banner was chosen from the direct branch of the Dong E family.
Peng Chun grew old and Xinda Li died of illness.
At this time, if someone is arranged to "continue" the attack, the title of Dong E's family can be reduced by a few levels.
If it were the former Dong E family, Kangxi would not hesitate.
Because it was a family marriage in Prince Kang's palace.
Now Kangxi hesitated.
Because this is a royal marriage.
He glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "As long as you know about this, don't be in a hurry. We'll talk about it after we return to Beijing."
Brother Jiu's heart was on fire. In fact, he was very anxious and looked at Kangxi eagerly.
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Don't hang around all day, and be your errand!"
Brother Jiu knew what was going on and did not dare to say anything more, so he came out from the imperial palace.
In the yard, the seventh elder brother and Ma Qi are no longer there, only the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother are still there.
Seeing the ninth elder brother pulling his head out, looking a little lost, the third elder brother raised his eyebrows.
It doesn't seem to be settled well either.
The eldest brother was worried and looked at him and said: "What kind of trouble did you get into again and got reprimanded by Khan Amma?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, it's just that there is news coming from the capital. Khan Ama mentioned a few words to my brother, trouble..."
Khan Amma has gone bad!
It’s time to tell the truth!
The old man must have made a decision in his heart, but he just didn't tell himself!
Although the ninth elder brother was pretending that something was wrong, he still remembered his errand, told the elder elder brother, and went to the Queen Mother's side.
The Queen Mother had just had breakfast when she saw him coming and invited him to sit in front of her.
She looked at Brother Jiu and saw that he looked so haggard and lacked energy, so she asked with concern: "Why didn't you get a good rest? Did you stay up late last night with Fujin?"
The ninth elder brother first stood in front of the emperor for a long time, and spent a long time rubbing his tongue. He didn't get a seat, and he didn't even get a sip of water. This time he sat down unceremoniously and drank half a cup of tea before returning.
Said: "Fu Jin woke up crying in the middle of the night, and his grandson talked with him, and then he went to sleep..."
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "Shu Shu is a soft-hearted child, and it's her uncle who is leaving. Isn't it uncomfortable? Don't run away all the time these days, spend more time with her."
Brother Ninth said, "We're in Jiangning now. My grandson is still thinking about the errands he was ordered to do for you. If we don't make arrangements, my grandson won't feel at ease..."
Having said this, he looked at Bai Jiji next to him and said, "Can you please tell Xiaojiu if you have anything to buy? Write an order as soon as possible. Didn't she buy fans in Hangzhou first? Let's see if she wants more this time."
don't want……"
Bai Jianmo agreed and said, "I will go over now..."
With that said, she was about to walk out.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't leave yet..."
Bai Yanmo was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Brother Jiu and said, "Brother, do you have any other instructions to give?"
Brother Jiu said, "Cao Yin's nephew works as an errand for me. He is a local snake in Jiangning. It is more convenient and easier to buy. If you have anything to bring, you are welcome. It is a rare occasion..."
Bai Yanmo said gratefully: "Thank you, brother. I will also bring something to my sister when I go back."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, it's just a matter of one sentence..."
It can be regarded as "reciprocating love". Not only did Bai Jimo serve the imperial grandmother well, he was also respectful to Shu Shu...
