Brother Ninth was talking eloquently, and a bunch of cute little ones were listening, and not even a single one spoke back.
You mentioned the emperor, how can you reply?
Moreover, among these people, except for the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace, who was mentioned by his birth mother and who valued his maternal family very much, the others didn't care at all.
The fourteenth elder brother also nodded in agreement and said: "Ninth brother, you are absolutely right. My younger brother thinks so too. Our brothers are the princes of the Aixinjueluo family. Our birth and honor were all given by Khan Ama. It's not
During the Han Dynasty, princes were distinguished by their mother’s clan!”
The thirteenth elder brother also nodded.
He also has little contact with his maternal family.
The twelfth elder brother remained silent, but looked at the ninth elder brother with admiration in his eyes.
He does have contacts with his maternal family, and he can use whatever relatives can use, but respect and inferiority are irreversible.
Brother Jiu is very open-mouthed, but if he can still explain himself, there is nothing to worry about.
The fifteenth elder brother's eyes were filled with admiration.
Brother Jiu smiled proudly.
It feels really good to be an older brother.
Finally it was his turn to teach!
Several people were from different gentlemen and lived in different houses. They said hello and left.
The ninth elder brother rubbed the lunch boxes of the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and started to eat breakfast.
The same dishes for both of them were from the dining room of Qianqing Palace when they were in the palace, but now they are from the dining room of Changchun Garden.
A piece of tiger skin knuckle, a piece of fried eggplant box, a piece of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and a piece of fungus and rapeseed.
Not only does it look good, it also tastes good. It's much more refined than the warm-boiled dishes Jiu Age and the others used when they were in school.
Brother Jiu ate a piece of elbow skin, a few mushrooms, a small two-color flower roll, a steamed bun with millet noodles, and drank half a bowl of millet porridge.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers were still restrained at first, but when they saw the ninth elder brother putting down the fast ones, they quickly ate up the rest.
Naturally, the food boxes in the imperial dining room would not keep the princes from not having enough to eat.
Each dish is served on an eight-inch plate, and the two pastry plates are also eight-inch.
This lunch box is enough for two adults.
After removing the cat food that Brother Jiu had eaten, he ate most of the rest.
When Brother Jiu saw it, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why do you eat so much? Is this a way to maintain health?"
Brother Thirteen touched his belly and said with a sense of embarrassment: "I'm hungry very quickly. I'm afraid I won't have enough energy for a long time after eating too little."
To the northwest of Changchun Garden, directly north of the West Garden, is the Royal Horse Farm.
Now the brothers are studying in the garden, and the afternoon martial arts class has been moved to the horse farm.
The fourteenth elder brother also said with joy: "The afternoon of riding and shooting has been extended by half an hour. If I don't eat more, I won't be full."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "What does riding and shooting in the afternoon have to do with breakfast? There is still a meal at noon, so you can go so late! You can't eat like this in the future. Your stomach will be full. Eat less and more meals."
This is a way to maintain health. What should you be afraid of when you are hungry? Just ask Shen Zheng in the dining room to add another snack."
Brother Thirteen hesitated and said: "It's inconvenient, this is Khan Amma's dining room."
If it were their brother's dining room, he would definitely be able to give any orders.
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother eagerly and said: "Ninth elder brother, go and speak, we dare not say..."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you the Fourteenth Master? Are you still afraid of the servants in the dining room?"
The fourteenth elder brother said with a bitter face: "Who is afraid of them? I am afraid that Khan Ama will think we are extravagant..."
"Huh? Asking for two plates of cakes is considered extravagant. Where did this nonsense come from? Those uncles in the imperial dining room wish that the floor tiles in their homes were paved with gold, and no one has ever heard of them being said to be extravagant..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Okay, I'm going to say hello to the dining room. It's the first noon, do you want to have some snacks too?"
The thirteenth elder brother said: "No, it's time for breakfast and dinner now, and it will be connected again at noon..."
The fourteenth elder brother also said, "I don't need it in the first noon, but I'm hungry at night. Can I extend it until the evening?"
Brother Jiu Age himself learned from the past and said: "It can't be too late, it must be in moderation. Eating at night is not good and will hurt your stomach..."
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers both responded honestly.
Seeing that it was time for class, Brother Jiu didn't wait too long and came out of Wuyizhai.
He still returned the same way.
Halfway through, he saw the front lake in the garden next to him. He stopped and sent He Yuzhu: "Go to the garden dining room and call the steward..."
He Yuzhu went immediately.
Brother Jiu then ordered Sun Jin to say: "Pick the tender lotus leaves along the water's edge and pick seven or eight...forget it, more, two or thirty..."
[Recommended, Yeguo Reading and Chasing Books is really useful. Download it here. You can try it soon.]
Sun Jin looked at the lotus pond and said, "Master, just pick it next to the shore?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It saves trouble on the side. If you pick it from inside, you have to call a boat from the pier."
Sun Jin was not verbose.
Anyway, for such a big lotus pond, just leave some bald spots on the edge, and it will be full in a few days.
He leaned forward and picked lotus leaves along the lake.
By the time the kitchen steward followed He Yuzhu over from the garden, Sun Jin had already picked almost everything.
The lotus leaves chosen should be both tender and large, usually over one and a half feet.
The kitchen steward looked at the bald lotus pond and did not dare to ask any more questions. He bowed and said, "Dong Dianbang, the kitchen steward of the slave garden, has met Master Jiu..."
"who?"
Brother Jiu glanced at the person who came. He was wearing a blue uniform that was not old. He was in his forties, had a Chinese character face, and looked good: "Does it have the same name? It's the same as Dong's mother... um, the cousin of Dong Gong's daughter's family.
Nephew..."
There was embarrassment on the man's face as he said: "She is a slave. The lady from Dong Palace is the aunt of the slave hall..."
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Why do you remember that you were in the Accounting Department first?"
Dong Dianbang said: "This slave was indeed in the Accounting Department before, and was transferred to the Garden Dining Room on May 20th..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's actually true."
Not only were the concubines and concubines in the imperial dining room purged of their natal family influence, but they were also transferred from other yamen.
Brother Jiu then ordered: "The summer is long, and now the brothers practice riding and shooting, which also consumes energy. From now on, I will have a snack before Shen Zheng in the afternoon, and a small snack before Xu Zheng in the evening. Don't be too old."
It’s the same, make a water sign and let the brothers take turns eating..."
Dong Dianbang bowed and responded.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and then said: "The companion reading center will also follow this example."
Dong Dianbang agreed again.
Brother Jiu is a person who doesn't like to trouble others, and he really wants to say something. If the examples are not enough, it will be his fault.
But he knew he couldn't do that, he was the prince's grandson.
That's not how favors work.
He said: "According to this supply, the accounts will be calculated at the end of the month. If my brother and my companions do not have enough daily expenses, they will be adjusted accordingly."
Dong Dianbang did not dare to respond and said hurriedly: "Master Jiu, this is a rule set in the early years. It is not allowed for slaves to add or subtract..."
When working in front of the emperor, you should be cautious no matter how cautious you are.
"According to the rules" is also a rule that you should remind yourself to abide by again and again.
Brother Jiu said cheerfully: "When the time comes, you will report the accounts and I will go to the emperor to ask for the order."
Dong Dianbang then bowed and responded.
After talking about the official business, Brother Ninth hesitated for a moment and said, "What do your family think about the dismissal of the Dong Palace woman? Is there anyone with resentment in their hearts?"
Dong Dianbang was startled, and knelt down with a bang, saying: "My whole family has been favored by the emperor. My aunt lost her virtue and lost the honor of the royal family. She should have been punished, but she was lenient. The whole family can only be grateful and ashamed..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "It's good to know this. Khan Amma is indeed magnanimous."
"Okay, let's get up!"
He waved his hand and turned to leave.
He Yuzhu and Sun Jin each held an armful of lotus leaves and followed behind.
The guards and horses were waiting outside the small east gate.
But Brother Jiu thought for a while and still didn't go through the small east gate.
It's too close to Qingxi Bookstore.
He walked through Dadongmen.
He Yuzhu ran errands and called the guards over, and then they returned to the city.
How can the movements in the garden be hidden from Yu Qian?
By noon, Kangxi received various news one after another.
First, Wu Yizhai, Jiu Age's "relative theory" is a bit straightforward, but the principle is correct.
Kangxi was quite satisfied.
When he found out that the lotus leaves in the front pond had been harmed, making the lotus pond bald, he frowned a little.
But eaters have soft mouths and grabbers have short hands. He thought that the "revelation dish" in the afternoon should be related to lotus leaves.
Lotus leaves are cool in nature and have some effects in dissipating heat and dispelling heat. I don’t know how to use them in dishes.
Thinking this way, Kangxi's expression relaxed.
When he heard that the ninth elder brother had reprimanded the leader of the Yuanshan House, Kangxi was not annoyed. He only asked Liang Jiugong, "How did Dong Dianbang recruit the ninth elder brother?"
Liang Jiugong bowed and said: "I don't know, I have never heard that Master Jiu had any dealings with Lord Dong..."
Kangxi was a little curious.
Brother Ninth is usually very close to the people around him, but this is the first time he has been so kind to others.
"Send Dong Dianbang over..."
He was just curious and wanted to ask why.
When Dong Dianbang came over and explained the reason cautiously, Kangxi's expression did not change, but he felt helpless in his heart.
At the beginning, he acts like an older brother and is good to his brothers; when things happen, he is also quite responsible, like a good steward; but what does that nonsense sentence at the end mean?
No wonder Dong Dianbang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to plead guilty. People looked at him and mistook him for being scolded by Brother Nine.
Kangxi saw that Dong Dianbang was sweating on his forehead and looked frightened, so he said: "Don't be afraid. The Dong family is the Dong family, and the Dong family is the Dong family. I can tell them clearly. You can also distinguish them clearly. I will live up to your father and mother-in-law."
A master-servant relationship between the empress dowager..."
Dong Dianbang immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This slave is a lowly family, and it is all thanks to the emperor's grace that he is what he is today. Only loyalty can repay the master, but with double intentions, the slave's children and grandchildren will wither and die short-term!"
Kangxi stretched out his hand and said: "Get up, no need to curse or swear. If I doubt you, I will send you out of the garden dining room as soon as possible. There is no need to mention Dong's matter again. From now on, you will do your best. If the family has a well-educated and well-behaved woman,
You can also report it to the palace and learn the rules."
Dong Dianbang's face was full of excitement, tears of gratitude, and choked with sobs: "I thank my master Hongen, I must choose well..."
Due to the deposed Dong family, the reputation of the Dong family was also affected. Among them, the most affected ones were the daughters of the Dong family. Whether they were out of the government or those waiting to be married, they were all criticized.
Kangxi allowed the Dong family's daughter to enter the court again, making it difficult for others to question the Dong family's upbringing...
