Chapter 618 (Monthly vote for brothers and sisters)
Kangxi raised the corner of his mouth.
Doesn’t this start learning the rules?
This is what people who have a family and a career should be like.
You can't let it go forever.
I am Amma, so I won’t find fault with him, but what about the future?
Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to have your brother and nephew dislike you when the time comes?
On the table, the fifth elder brother whispered: "Isn't it too light? No need to give an antique inkstone, jade paperweight, or Xuande stove or something like that? I have a rich man there, I will find you two later...
"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "This is an old etiquette, it's not a big deal..."
Having said this, he paused and then said: "But since the fifth brother is rich, the inkstone, paperweight, Xuande stove and so on, the younger brother might as well keep them and put them in the study later. My younger brother will also need them!"
The fifth elder brother said generously: "Then take it and use it. If you need anything, just tell me..."
When Brother Jiu heard this, his eyes lit up and he was very moved.
There are a lot of good things over there, Fifth Brother.
The Queen Mother’s private treasury is not just the Queen Mother’s private treasury.
I heard that before the Queen Mother died of illness, she divided up all her private houses throughout her life.
Divide it into three parts, one for the Queen Mother, one for the Emperor, and one for Princess Gu Lun Shuhui.
He just wanted to get a few more antiques to decorate the living room of the Prince's Mansion, but seeing the stern face of the fourth elder brother next to him, as if he was trying to teach someone, he changed his mind and said: "My younger brother built a library in the Prince's Mansion.
If there are books that I don’t want to read, I’ll ask people to gather them up and go back to fill my brother’s library, otherwise I’ll have to organize them outside.”
The fifth elder brother said proudly: "It's quite a lot, several boxes. I'll give it to you later. It gives me a headache."
Brother Ninth: "..."
He glanced at Kangxi.
Didn't you hear that?
Isn’t this the one who should study hard?!
Kangxi didn't seem to hear, he was talking to his eldest brother with his head down.
Brother Jiu felt a little unsatisfied.
If he learns again, don't his brothers need it?
Now that we are seeing all the wise people, shouldn’t they be together?!
He looked at the boss, what's the shortcoming?
Can't seem to pick one out.
The eldest son of the emperor is full of style, but that cannot be wrong.
This is where his original identity lies, and it is not the temperament of Corporal Li Xian.
He looked at Brother Si again.
This person is a bit less worldly, he doesn't know how to speak, and he has a cold face no matter what happens. Shouldn't he learn from the beginning?
Then he looked at Fifth Brother.
Needless to say, Fifth Brother has stumbled across the Four Books and Five Classics. He still has an impression, but he probably doesn’t even have an impression.
How could this be?
Are you stupid if you pretend to be stupid?!
It's just that I'm lazy and don't like studying.
We have the same parents, but if we are so smart, how can our fifth brother be so stupid?
It's so uncomfortable to see other people idle.
Seeing that the conversation between Kangxi and the elder brother came to an end, the ninth elder brother said: "Khan Ama, although you prefer your son, he is not easy to bear. Can you please give me a favor and give advice to my brothers?"
There is really no suitable one for the prince's division, so I can just use one person..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Nine and wanted to know how old his face was.
Yesterday, he was wilting and looking guilty, knowing that it was his shortcomings that led to the addition of a prince's teacher; today, his tail is raised, and he talks about "preference" without shame.
This proposal...
The princes who came out of the study room were arranged to have tutors for the princes...
Kangxi looked at his eldest brother.
The elder brother hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Khan Ama, no, no, my son is so old, and Hongyu is about to become enlightened..."
Hongyu is the legitimate son of the eldest brother. He was born in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign and is four years old this year.
Kangxi was noncommittal and looked at his fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother bowed and said: "Khan Ama, Honghui is also three years old."
So his husband should also be exempted.
The fifth elder brother also heard that his younger brother was causing trouble, and hurriedly followed: "Our eldest son is born in the same year as Hongyu's nephew. He is still a few months older. He will also start studying next year. Khan Ama, if you refer to the master, you directly refer to Huangsunshi."
Bar!"
After hearing this, Kangxi's expression did not change, and he felt a little sad.
Will the emperor's grandchildren also reach the age of enlightenment and school?
Then I remembered that the prince's eldest son was already ten years old and had been studying in the upper study room for half a year; the eldest daughter on the eldest son's side was older and had begun to grow hair.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth, snorted softly, and said: "It seems that there is no shortage of sirs around. How about you give up on your kindness..."
Having said this, he looked at Brother Ten and said, "Or give it to Brother Ten directly?"
Brother Ninth wanted to trick his elder brother, but not his younger brother, so he hurriedly said: "Forget it, the tenth brother is working as an errand in the clan's mansion. He just asks for advice from the elders of the clan, and he can't learn anything serious and useful from outsiders.
"
This time, the fourth and fifth elder brothers were also grinding their teeth at him.
The two of them saw that this younger brother was not kind and treated people in a distant and distant manner. They were obviously ranked behind the tenth elder brother.
Although we know that the two little brothers grew up in the same class and it is normal for them to be close, but this apparent preference for one and the other is disturbing.
Kangxi saw that Brother Jiu could offend everyone just by opening his mouth, so he didn't bother to say anything to him. He just said: "Okay, let's eat!"
Everyone quieted down, and the only sound was the sound of eating.
The dishes sent by Shifujin were not suitable for eating with rice, and no one used chopsticks.
The dishes served by Sifujin and Wufujin are also ordinary, and everyone is tired of eating them.
Everyone unanimously pointed their chopsticks at Shisho's dishes.
Fortunately, the first food box only contained four dishes, and the second one came with four more dishes.
In addition, sesame paste noodles, mung bean jelly, etc. are all good for filling your stomach.
Even if everyone eats these things, they will still be very wealthy.
The eldest brother ate the steamed meat and was satisfied.
The best pork belly is marinated with salt and pepper, baked for six minutes, and then smoked with fruit wood.
It smells fruity, looks oily, and has a chewy texture in the mouth.
The translucent fat is rich in oil. When you take a bite, it bursts into your mouth. It's so delicious.
satisfy.
The fourth elder brother was eating half a bowl of iced bean curd.
There are no complicated seasonings on it, just soy sauce, vinegar, and chopped green onion, but it tastes just right.
He loves vegetarian food, and he is tired of eating vegetarian dishes such as tofu and mushrooms on weekdays.
The fifth elder brother is eating mung bean jelly.
He is relatively fat and suffers from internal heat. In summer, he likes to drink mung bean soup and eat mung bean cakes.
This mung bean jelly, with a layer of sesame paste on top, is delicious and just right for his taste.
The tenth prince was much more calm and had tasted most of the dishes from the four restaurants.
Especially the sweet and sour poached eggs and egg skin mixed with cucumber shreds are his favorites.
If he stayed at Brother Jiu's place, he would have these two dishes.
It’s just that the cucumbers now are not as tender as those in winter, but the ones made in the kitchen are also exquisite. The cucumber skin and seeds are removed and then shredded. It tastes good and has more flavor than eating cucumbers in winter.
With the addition of finely chopped egg skin and shredded pork stir-fried in soy sauce, this dish is as delicious as you want it to be.
It's not a meaty dish, but it's not bland either.
Kangxi also had some problems with the bitter summer, and his appetite was worse in summer.
But the sons were all old enough to eat, and each one ate deliciously, and even Kangxi's appetite improved a bit.
He looked around at the dishes. The recipes at Sisuo were not complicated and looked very ordinary.
Steamed meat means steaming the meat directly, with some tender cabbage leaves placed underneath.
The rest are all ordinary ingredients.
But as soon as he moved his chopsticks, Kangxi noticed something different.
Most of the dishes in the imperial dining room are thickened, which makes them look oily and taste salty, but they are also easy to get tired of.
The dishes at Sisuo are not like this. They are more original and simple in another way.
Kangxi tasted everything and was very full before he knew it.
He put down his chopsticks.
On weekdays, I am only about 70% full. After I returned to Changchun Garden, I could walk around and eat some food.
Everyone also put down their chopsticks one after another.
Kangxi lowered his head and glanced at the bowl of rice wine in his hand.
The color looks yellow and thick, which is different from ordinary rice wine.
He picked it up and tasted it. The taste was very light, much thinner than the rice wine in the dining room, but it was just right as a drink.
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "How is this different from ordinary rice wine?"
Brother Jiu said with a bit of pride: "This is the thick wine that my son Fujin made according to the recipe in the book. I heard that it was recorded in the annals of history in the Spring and Autumn Period. It uses old yellow rice and it doesn't cost much."
Food, this also nourishes the stomach, so it won’t be a problem for my son to drink it..."
Thick wine...
Kangxi was somewhat impressed.
He glanced at Brother Ninth and didn't know what to be proud of.
This is a recipe that Mr. Dong E came up with when he was still at his parents' home. It was to satisfy the cravings of Xinda Li and Qi Xi.
The two brothers were both good at drinking, but neither of them had the capacity to drink. They would get drunk if they touched alcohol.
Dong E followed the recipe in the book and asked people to try making rice wine that was not intoxicating.
The eldest brother was not very satisfied. He drank it all in two or three gulps, and ordered someone to add another bowl, and then said: "The taste is too thin, like thick rice soup. It is not intoxicating, but it can be filled with water..."
The ninth elder brother didn't like hearing this, so he looked at the eldest elder brother and said: "Brother, please drink less on weekdays. Don't think that wine is a grain essence, but it is still an intestinal medicine. It is not a good thing. It will turn into rosacea in the nose."
If you don’t tell me, you’ll stink all over!”
The eldest brother's hands were itchy after hearing this, but it was not easy to teach the brother a lesson in front of the emperor's father, so he changed his fist to a slap, patted the ninth brother on the shoulder and said: "Okay, eldest brother will remember it!"
The ninth elder brother staggered when he was slapped. He raised his eyebrows at the eldest elder brother and said with dissatisfaction: "Brother, please be gentle. I think everyone is as rough as you and can withstand such an iron slap!"
The eldest brother's hands became more and more itchy, and he looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, when Lao Jiu was in the study, not only did he study hard, but he also seemed to have a hard time riding and shooting. The sons on the left and right are also idle now, or they can also give it to Lao Jiu.
Be a gentleman and teach him again?"
When the time comes, Buku and Buku will be practicing together, and everyone will be roughed up together.
She cleans up like a big girl all day long, and even hangs sachets on her body to smoke people. Is it shabby or not?
Brother Jiu's hair stood on end.
It's as if the shadow held high as a child reappears.
He hurriedly said: "No, no, when my nephews are enlightened, I can just practice with them. There is no need to teach them alone!"
Hum!
When the time comes, I will take revenge if I have any grievances, and I will take revenge if I have any grievances.
When his brothers bullied him when he was a child, he would write them down and make amends for them one by one.
His little calculation was written all over his face, which made everyone speechless.
Just such a little bit of profit?!
The fifth elder brother couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "You can't practice all at once, why don't you just practice with the twelfth elder brother and the others, and you can still be about the same..."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother with some resentment in his eyes.
How can it be almost the same?
Can he compare to the twelfth prince or the thirteenth prince?
The key is that Brother Fourteen is only twelve years old, but he is as strong as a calf. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he couldn't compete with him?
