The couple had no idea that there were other stories in the afternoon, and Xiao Liu was also involved in them.
Brother Jiu was a little excited and learned the eating habits of his brothers.
"The restaurant in front of our house should be doing well. My brothers all like to eat, not to mention the people outside..."
He said with a bit of pride.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "The location is good and the menu is good. We have made a lot of progress in the first half of the year."
Brother Jiu asked: "How is the preparation for the shop that Old Shi Fujin talked about before?"
Shu Shu said: "The shop is ready-made, but we still need to negotiate with Jiangnan about the purchase, and we have to wait for the goods to arrive. It will probably be after the Double Ninth Festival..."
Brother Jiu said: "Don't be afraid of being late. There are more times to celebrate at the end of the year..."

Wuyizhai, where the princes and grandsons studied, is also its own place in Changchun Garden.
Except for the guard Wu Master who was on duty, no one really knew that they were fighting.
However, Brother Baofu was injured and was referred to the imperial physician, so it was difficult to hide it from others.
Especially here in the West Garden.
The Queen Mother and the Prince both got the news.
The companion reading room in the garden is not far to the east of Danboweide Palace where the Queen Mother lives.
The Queen Mother did not ask the reason in detail.
When teenagers are naughty, it is common for more than a dozen of them to get together and make a fuss, get over or get into trouble.
"Take a few boxes of pastry and take a look. There is Shu Shu's little brother inside. He is young. Let's see if he has been bullied by the older children..."
The Queen Mother ordered Aunt Bai.
Jiu Gege was also there and asked: "Which family does this Brother Baofu belong to?"
The name is familiar.
Aunt Bai said: "I came here once in the first month. He is the grandson of Prince Shuncheng Gonghui, and the cousin of the current Prince Shuncheng..."
Prince Shuncheng Gonghui is the first king of Prince Shuncheng, the grandson of Prince Lilie and the son of Prince Heshuo Yingyi.
Jiu Gege couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
This is a close branch of the royal family, the same generation of yellow belts as the emperor's grandchildren.
Whoever's companion would dare to beat the prince's elder brother? This is too disrespectful...

Taoyuan Bookstore.
The prince looked at Akdun kneeling on the ground, with disappointment in his eyes.
Akedun's face turned red, his head pressed tightly against his chest,
"You don't know who Xishan is?"
The prince asked calmly.
Akedun clenched his fists and said, "He is your nephew..."
"Dening is thirteen and Xishan is seven. Dening and Xishan have a dispute. If you don't reprimand Dening, why do you want to ask someone to beat Xishan?"
The prince asked: "Who taught you such a rule? Can you go past the fifteenth elder brother and beat his haha beads?"
Akedun couldn't hide his guilt on his face, biting his lips and said: "There were so many of them that my son couldn't get enough of them. He was annoyed for a while and lost his sense of proportion..."
The disappointment in the prince's eyes deepened, and he said: "Brother Baofu is a descendant of Emperor Taizu, a descendant of the Yellow Belt clan, and Dening is a lowly man. You dare to do something to me. You don't stop me, but you want to cover up the matter for him?"
"
Akedun raised his head, his face turned from red to white, and said: "Amma, my expression... Dening did it to protect his son, so he couldn't care about anything else for a moment. It was because Xishan was disrespectful when he saw his son and didn't say hello...
…”
The prince looked away, not wanting to hear his excuses anymore.
A seven-year-old child has not learned all the rules yet and cares about whether to be respectful or not.
Moreover, although they were studying in Wuyizhai together, they were not in the same house, nor were they the same master. It is estimated that Xishan could not even recognize each other.
Aktun, on the other hand, was ruined by Li's teachings.
Who can hide this little thought and little calculation?
He thought that by teaching Xishan a lesson, he would disgrace the Crown Princess, but he did not know that it would be the face of Yuqing Palace that he would be disgraced.
The prince did not cry out, but Akedun had a look of grievance on his face and red circles under his eyes.
After a while, Zhao Guoshi, the chief eunuch of Yuqing Palace, came in with a heavy look on his face.
The prince took a look and frowned: "Brother Baofu is seriously injured?"
Knowing that the emperor's grandson was fighting with the prince's companions and that the child was injured, the prince sent the chief eunuch to visit the companions.
Zhao Guoshi shook his head and said, "Fortunately, I was eating fruit when I passed by..."
If you hurt your head, you will be confused and nauseated and unable to eat. If you can eat, it is probably a skin injury, so you can rest assured.
Having said this, he glanced at Akedun and said, "It was Zhao Chang who went to the companion reading center to ask about the afternoon..."
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Of course he knew who Zhao Chang was, but instead of alerting the emperor when his companions fought, he sent the chief eunuch Zhao Chang to investigate?
The prince looked at Aktun and said, "What else are you hiding?"
Akedun turned pale and said, "My son doesn't have..."
The prince was too lazy to grind his teeth with him and ordered the people next to him: "Call the eunuch who goes to school with my brother..."
Aktun's face turned even paler.
The two eunuchs who went to school with my elder brother were in their twenties. They knew the seriousness and did not dare to hide it. They told the story of the dispute all afternoon.
The prince felt exhausted physically and mentally.
He looked at Akdun and sneered: "Fifteenth brother doesn't know respect, or do you not know respect? What's wrong with him protecting his companion? On the contrary, you, the elders and younger ones are in order, and there are no other rules about respect.
I understand, it’s extremely ridiculous to say that Brother Fifteen is disrespectful, frivolous and rude!”
Aktun said he was nine years old, but since he had a small birthday and was born in the twelfth lunar month, he was actually only seven and a half years old.
There were some stupid thoughts of a child before, but now he was scared. He cried loudly and said: "My son didn't mean it. My son just didn't want to embarrass Yu Qinggong..."
"How dare you hit Brother Fifteen?"
The prince really didn't understand his thoughts.
That's an uncle. Even if he is two years younger than him, he is still an uncle.
Aktun cried "woo woo" and was speechless.
The prince stood up helplessly, left the Tuoyuan Bookstore and went to Changchun Garden.
This was Aktun's fault. Now that he knew it, he had no choice but to plead guilty on his behalf.
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi had just turned over the green head card.
It is the brand of Guiren Wang.
Wang Guiren didn't know yet that the fifteenth elder brother had been wronged, but Kangxi also wanted to go and have a look, and also take a look at the sixteenth elder brother.
Although there is also a seventeenth elder brother under the sixteenth elder brother, maybe it is because Wang Guiren has often accompanied him in the past few years. He mentions the sixteenth elder brother a lot and sees the sixteenth elder brother a lot.
The sixteenth elder brother was very cute, and Kangxi was very fond of this little son.
The reason why Akedun dared to be disrespectful to his fifteenth elder brother was because his biological mother was of low birth.
Kangxi was a little worried that the people serving the sixteenth elder brother would be too arrogant and slight his son.
"Your Majesty, the prince is here, meet you outside..."
Liang Jiugong came in and said.
Kangxi frowned and said, "Pass it on..."
Liang Jiugong responded.
Later, the prince came in with a face full of shame.
"Khan Ama, my son has come to apologize..."
Kangxi scolded: "Confused! That is your eldest son. Even if he is a concubine, he should not be raised in the hands of a woman!"
The prince became more and more ashamed and said: "My son was young at the time and didn't think carefully. He thought that if he was raised by his biological mother, there would be nothing wrong with him."
When Aktun was born, he was only eighteen years old.
There is no crown princess in Yuqing Palace either.
Although it is said that they are getting married, they are still preparing for the wedding.
Kangxi snorted: "Li's heart is not right, she is not allowed to teach the two grandsons anymore!"
The prince bowed and said, "My son understands."
"Where is Eunuch Shuda? He needs to be replaced by someone who is mature and knowledgeable. He is too young and inexperienced..."
Kangxi said carefully.
The prince became more and more ashamed and said: "It's my son's fault and he was negligent..."
Since the emperor's grandchildren did not live in separate palaces, no eunuchs were selected.
Kangxi felt a headache, shook his head and said: "This is not how you raise a son!"
It would be strange if they were raised directly.
But thinking about this time, Kangxi could also guess why he had been negligent before.
The prince here has also been looking forward to his elder brother in the past few years.
Thinking of the child the Crown Princess aborted last year, Kangxi felt regretful in his heart.
If no one had done anything wrong, maybe the legitimate grandson would have been born by now.
The nun who handled it has been executed, but Li Gege, who is suspected to be behind the scenes, has not yet been punished.
Thinking of Akedun saying "respect" to his fifteenth elder brother, Kangxi became cold-faced and said: "I heard that the Princess Li always provided the same position as the crown prince concubine in Yuqing Palace? What is the 'prince's concubine'? Why don't I know?"
Is there still such a level in the palace?"
The prince said sarcastically: "It's what the slaves said. After the second elder brother was born, the son thought that she had done a good job in giving birth, so he ordered his son's share to be transferred to make up for one or two..."
Kangxi snorted: "This is to increase your appetite and dare to instigate your son to be disrespectful to the Crown Princess!"
The prince smiled bitterly: "I used to have a respectful and cautious temperament, otherwise, my son would not tolerate her..."
He also didn't expect Li Gege to be so stupid.
The Li family is indeed a respectable family, and the Li Gege family also has heirlooms of military honors and titles, but this family background has to be compared with whom.
Compared with the Manchu nobles, they are nothing.
As a result, she has no self-awareness, is arrogant and rude, and thinks that "mother is more valuable than son", so she can compete with the princess.
The prince didn't even know how Li Gege, who had behaved respectfully and considerately before, could become so arrogant.
Kangxi's face darkened even more after hearing this.
He thought about the reason.
"Li's heart is poisonous and she is plotting against the mistress. She knows that the Crown Princess is in bad health and claims to be the mother of the emperor's eldest grandson. She has a bright future and there is no other reason..."
Kangxi snorted coldly.
After hearing this, the prince's face became even more bitter.
I had not thought about this before, and after thinking about it, it is not difficult to guess the reason.
No wonder the Li family kept a close eye on Akdun, fearing that Akdun would get close to the Crown Princess and the Gualjia family.
However, Kangxi knew that the situation in Yuqing Palace could no longer be tolerated, otherwise it would eventually lead to disaster if he and his concubines were not distinguished.
The prince is still young and there will be other elder brothers in the future.
"Mr. Li has given you a daughter in your name, and she must provide you with the provisions and regulations, and she must not exceed them. From tomorrow onwards, the third elder brother will be handed over to the Crown Princess for his upbringing..."
Kangxi said, thinking that the qualifications of the third elder brother of Yuqing Palace were unknown, so he said: "This is a rule. In the future, any emperor's grandson in Yuqing Palace will be raised by the Crown Princess..."
The prince did not intercede for Li.
He knows what is right and what is wrong, and Li will not be able to restrain himself.
If this happens again, both sons will be ruined.
However, Kangxi still thought about Akedun's escort, who dared to beat the elder brother of the clan just because he was the emperor's grandson's cousin.
Akedun is so young that if no one talks about him, he will not know the nonsense about "little brother" and "flag".
He said: "Akedun's companion, who disturbed the hierarchy, beat the yellow-belted clan members, gave him forty blows, and expelled him from the palace!"
The prince took the order.
Even if Kangxi did not punish him, he would not let him go.
What does a thirteen-year-old child not know?
Aktun didn’t think things through well. Is he still thinking things through poorly?
It was simply because he was worried that Akedun would get close to the Crown Princess and deliberately make things worse, causing the conflict between Akedun and the Crown Princess to become more and more serious, so he got closer to the Li family.
Kangxi thought about parenting.
Although Kangxi did not raise the first few brothers personally, he still kept a close eye on them and did not dare to relax in the slightest.
When I was a child, I was worried about not being able to feed myself and dying young. When I was five or six years old, I started to worry about my poor aptitude and stupidity...
"You were young back then, and now you are approaching your thirties. You have to be careful when raising a girl here. Third Brother will teach you well..."
Kangxi said sincerely.
There were quite a few concubines in Yuqing Palace.
However, because in the early years I was hoping that the Crown Princess would give birth to a legitimate son, I did not choose any Eight Banners showgirls to fill the role. Most of them were showgirls from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The next draft is the year after tomorrow, which is too late.
On the other hand, in last year's draft, there were several young girls who were nominated for the show.
But the Crown Princess has no fault, so at this time, she will be given special treatment...
