It is not only the day when the Fujins enter the palace to pay their respects, but also the day when the Holy Emperor returns to Changchun Garden.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother went to Changchun Garden to meet him.
Brother Jiu didn't want to be lazy, so he consciously put on his riding clothes and planned to ride there.
And also got up early.
Shengjia was stationed in Zhizhangtou Village yesterday, which is still dozens of miles away from Haidian. It will take almost noon to reach Changchun Garden today.
Even if they have just set off for the ninth and tenth elder brothers, they still have plenty of time.
However, the ninth elder brother still made an appointment with the tenth elder brother and set off as soon as possible.
"This is our filial piety. It must be sooner rather than later!"
The ninth elder brother taught the tenth elder brother: "This is not vain, it is also compassionate. Khan Ama is also pitiful. Without Ama and E Niang since he was a child, we take our son seriously. We should also treat Khan Ama."
To take Ma seriously is the way of the Son of Man."
The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and saw that what he said was what he thought in his heart, and he felt sad in his heart.
It was the ninth elder brother who had such an innocent heart and treated the emperor's father as an ordinary amama.
Other elder brothers weigh too much and are more fearful than respectful.
Brother Jiu remembered what he told Shu Shu last year about his love for his parents and his love for his children, and he felt alert in his heart.
After you have children, you can't be too partial.
You can't just think about your own children and forget about Khan Amma and your mother-in-law. That would be too unconscionable.
I have lived for seventeen years, and my parents have been so kind to me without any repayment.
In the past few days, there were a lot of rumors inside and outside the palace about his "grounding", and he naturally heard a lot about it.
This incident, rather than hurting his dignity, actually hurt the queen's dignity.
It was E Niang who protected them and kept herself in the dark.
Brother Jiu felt sour in his heart.
Just be partial.
He didn't choose anymore.
Riding all the way, even without galloping, we arrived at Changchun Garden in half an hour.
Brother Ninth went directly to the garden to check in. He found the butler and asked, "Have you prepared the lunch menu? What's there? Can you bring it to me?"
The Holy Master did not stay in Changchun Garden for a long time. He only stayed one night and returned to the palace tomorrow.
There is no need to worry about cleaning the Qingxi Bookstore. Someone is staring at it, and Brother Jiu thinks of the imperial dining room.
This journey has been tiring, and you will feel better if you eat smoothly.
Dong Dianbang, the manager of the garden kitchen, said hurriedly: "It's planned and the dishes are ready..."
After that, he personally took the imperial meal list and gave it to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu watched it.
The above still follows Kangxi's rules and does not eat both food and taste. Today's main course is duck.
Brother Jiu glanced at Dong Dianbang and said, "I'm still trying my best. I didn't arrange mutton or meat..."
Shengjia stayed outside the Great Wall for two months. He spent most of his time with cattle and sheep, and less with others.
One steamed white duck with mushrooms, one roast duck cube, one hot pot shredded duck, one spicy and sour duck blood paste, and four duck dishes.
There are also four side dishes, stir-fried tofu with garlic sprouts, coir raincoat cucumber, yam and carrot, and braised cabbage with sea rice.
The staple food is duck meat, mushroom stuffed buns and crispy duck fried rice.
Brother Jiu thinks the menu is well prepared, with mostly hot dishes and refreshing side dishes.
He thought for a while and said: "Add another noodle! Use duck soup and pickled radish as the base. No dried noodles, just fresh noodles. Don't cut them too finely. They should be chewy..."
There is a folk saying that goes, "When you get on the bus, the dumplings get off the noodles."
When the Holy Emperor arrived in Haidian, it was almost like returning to the palace. He was also home.
Dong Dianbang hesitated and said: "Master Jiu, then this dining table will be in odd numbers..."
Brother Jiu said: "It's not that we don't have any dumplings today, so let's add a plate of dumplings..."
At this point, he remembered the corn mentioned by Shu Shu and said: "To make red bean steamed bread, use millet flour and corn flour mixed together."
Dong Dianbang agreed and went down to deliver the message.
Although this is the first time I have heard of this practice, it is the ninth elder brother who makes the decision, and the people below them just have to follow his orders.
The menus at both restaurants are endless.
Can't be wrong.
After arranging the wedding banquet, it will only be the beginning of the year.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were strolling in the garden.
When I was young, even though I was studying in front of me, I never made it through.
Some places where the palace family members live are forbidden areas for their elder brothers.
Now that the garden is empty, there are not so many taboos.
In late autumn, whether it is the front lake or the back lake, the lotus flowers on the water have withered.
Only dilapidated lotus leaves remain.
When Brother Jiu saw it, he couldn't help but said with regret: "I only thought about fish before, but I forgot about lotus leaves. If you dry them well and keep them, you can also use them to make lotus leaf rice and lotus leaf chicken. It's a pity..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten said: "The lotus leaves are too dry to be used, but the lotus roots underneath should be fine."
Brother Jiu said: "That's right. Even if this thing is reserved for seed, part of it should be cleared out..."
After that, he ordered He Yuzhu to call the doctor on duty in the garden and asked: "How did you dig lotus roots in the past?"
The doctor bowed and said: "Master Jiu, these lotus flowers are for viewing. If you don't dig the lotus roots, the lotus flowers will be thin and ugly next year!"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Don't worry, there will be many lotus roots growing under a lotus, and they will come out all the time, year after year. There are so many places where hair grows, and most of them rot in the lake..."
There is also a lotus vat in the palace.
Every time the lotus flowers fade in autumn and winter, when the vat is empty, you can see clearly that half the vat of lotus roots is squeezed into the densely packed bottom.
Lotus root is also the seed of lotus.
Brother Jiu said: "Forget it today, the Holy Driver will return to station, so there is no need to worry; starting tomorrow, we will put the lotus roots in the water, and 50% of the money will be sent directly to the garden dining room."
There is no need to think of ways to make lotus root starch, just store it properly and use it as vegetable lotus root.
The doctor bowed and responded.
At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew up, rolling up a few leaves nearby.
Brother Jiu then said: "When you ask people to work, don't push them too much. Don't go into the water when it's cold in the morning and evening. Just work during the day. Then ask the kitchen to prepare some ginger soup. Khan Ama has always been kind, so you can order people."
Don’t mess with it!”
The doctor hurriedly said: "I don't dare, I have written it down."
Brother Ninth nodded, then sent people to leave, and went to the main entrance of Changchun Garden with Brother Ten.
He whispered to Brother Ten: "Everything in this world has a cause and effect. I hope good causes will produce good results!"
The tenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother in surprise and said: "Ninth elder brother, do you really believe in Buddhism?"
Although it is common nowadays to worship Buddhism and believe in Taoism, Brother Ten still found it strange.
He himself does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and he cannot see that his brother has any intention of believing in gods and Buddhas.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "What does it have to do with Buddha? I believe in your Sister-in-law Ninth, and your Sister-in-law Ninth is a good person..."
Maybe this is "the one who is close to the red is red"?
In front of his wife, Brother Jiu wanted to hide his gloomy and evil side and act like a good person.
Brother Ten nodded and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth is indeed a very good person and conducts herself."
A clean heart makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "So I'm grateful. Even though Ama Khan treated me badly in the early years, she pointed me to a good fortune, so I don't care about it anymore!"
He knows that he is not a very generous person.
But the amazing thing is that after being together with Shu Shu, I no longer care about many things.
Unknowingly, I am much more generous.
His heart also became much brighter.
When he encountered something that made him breathless, he would think of Shu Shu's words, "There is no big deal except life and death." The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
He himself also relaxed.
The 10th elder brother didn't say anything, but he also thought about himself.
There were other reasons why the emperor's father arranged the marriage for him, but it was also partly for his own good.
The tenth prince was also relieved.
He should also be grateful.
Don't think about what you have lost, just think about what you have gained...
At the beginning of the afternoon, the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the official road to the north.
There were already many people standing at the gate of Changchun Garden, including the Ninth Elder Brother and the Tenth Elder Brother, as well as courtiers such as Zhang Ying, the Minister of Rites, Ma Qi, the Minister of Hubu, who came to greet him.
Needless to say, Ma Qi is Brother Jiu's master, and we have become familiar with him over the past year.
Zhang Ying, the Minister of Rites, Jiu Age couldn't help but take a look at it.
I have never interacted with this person, but in his early years he was also a well-known celebrity in the imperial court, an old-style minister of the Ministry of Rites, and concurrently served as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and also served as the affairs officer of James's house.
However, the year before last, due to his old age, he resigned from the affairs of the Hanlin Academy and James Mansion.
James Mansion is an institution for tutoring the Prince of the East Palace.
Retired the year before last?
Old?
Brother Jiu was confused.
How old can you be if you haven't sealed the cabinet and paid homage to the prime minister?
At most, he is in his 60s.
If you are a low-ranking official, you should retire at this age.
But for Jingtang, it was time to go a step further after gaining enough qualifications.
But this gentleman has been very quiet in the past two years, and is completely different from Ma Qi.
Although there is a difference between flag and Han, Brother Jiu still feels that there is something subtle about it.
What happened in the thirty-seventh year of Kangxi?
The imperial commander personally marched, and the prince's elder brother was in charge of the flag and retinue.
Something seems not quite right...
At this moment, the Holy Master also arrived in front of the emperor.
When a holy chariot travels, he rides in a royal chariot.
At this time, not only Kangxi was in the imperial carriage, but also the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
Outside the Great Wall, it snows in August.
Although Zhangbei Grassland is not located in the extreme north, it is where the wind blows.
Before entering the customs a few days ago, there was a heavy snowfall.
The fourteenth brother insisted on riding a horse and got cold.
For the past two days, the fourteenth elder brother was feeling uncomfortable and could not ride the horse. Kangxi felt sorry for his youngest son and asked him to come over and drive the carriage.
Thinking that the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers were always inseparable, they also called them to the car.
In fact, this is against the rules.
Since the fourteenth brother is sick, he should stay away from the Holy Master to avoid getting sick.
The fourth elder brother said bluntly that he wanted to take the fourteenth elder brother back, but Kangxi refused.
The fourteenth elder brother also knew the importance. Even if people came over, he would wear a mask and stay far away from Kangxi, saying: "This can isolate the illness..."
Kangxi took a look and didn't think it was strange at all.
It is something that has been used by doctors since ancient times to prevent epidemics.
He snorted softly and reprimanded Brother Fourteen: "Will you show off your strength next time?"
The fourteenth elder brother said with a bitter face: "No, who would have thought that it would become so cold all of a sudden, and it would snow when it said it would snow..."
The carriage slowed down and was about to reach Changchun Garden.
The fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but picked up the carriage curtain and looked over. He immediately saw the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother. He turned around and said to the thirteenth elder brother with joy: "It's the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother."
!”
To the left and right of the imperial chariot were several knighted princes riding their horses and retinues.
The eldest elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the seventh elder brother are on the left, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the eighth elder brother are on the right.
Everyone also saw the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.
The eldest brother said to the fourth brother: "These two brothers have gained experience, and they are getting better and better at doing things!"
The fourth elder brother hummed softly and said: "The tenth elder brother is just paying it forward. Wenwen Dangdang is learning errands in the clan's mansion. The ninth elder brother is too tormented!"
The eldest brother smiled and said: "Isn't that very good? I didn't throw money out. I just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This manager is sure to be a sure thing!"
Brother Si was speechless, thinking of the Mongolian prince's hospitality these days.
Especially several tribes in the Xilingol League.
Because the Abahai tribe was among them, several allied tribes also contacted relatives.
Last winter, when the ten princes got engaged, the princes of these tribes were all guests.
At that time, the fourth elder brother was the best man of the tenth elder brother and dined with everyone.
This year, in addition to the fifth elder brother, these princes are also eyeing the fourth elder brother.
He collected six horses!
Only less than the eldest brother, the fifth brother and the thirteenth brother, but more than the other brothers.
It's all because of those blue and red gold ornaments...
