Chapter 798 Goodwill (Thanks to Baiyinmeng Yueying Qi
Regarding his own marriage, Gao Bin only had expectations and didn't think about it at all.
But after being reminded by Brother Jiu, he really started to worry about gains and losses.
There are marriages in this world that are mutually supportive like his parents, and there are also marriages like those in the neighborhood where they are noisy and noisy at the end of the day.
He returned home feeling a little dazed.
His mother, Mrs. Li, couldn't help but worry when she saw it, and asked her husband: "Is the return gift too thin and Master Jiu unhappy?"
Speaking of which, Mrs. Li also came from a family of officials. Her father once served as the governor of Fujian Province and participated in political affairs. However, he did not get the chance early and his family was in decline, so she married a husband who was two years younger than her at the age of thirteen. The couple stayed together for many years and gave birth to three sons and two daughters.
I have never blushed.
Gao Yanzhong knew Brother Jiu's temper, so he shook his head and said, "No, Lord Jiu won't pick this."
There is nothing that cannot be asked between father and son.
Also to reassure his wife, Gao Yanzhong called Gao Bin and asked face to face: "What's wrong? Is there something going on at the Prince's Mansion, or does Master Jiu have other instructions?"
Gao Bin glanced at Mrs. Li and hesitated to speak.
Ms. Li increasingly thought that it was because she was preparing a return gift, and caring about it made her confused. She said, "What should we do? Let's give another gift again?"
There are a lot of rumors in the House of Internal Affairs about this elder brother's behavior.
In particular, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs received the "annual reward" this year and were divided into three, six or nine grades.
People outside who don't know Brother Jiu are saying that he is greedy for money and has no regard for the prince's dignity. This is just a way to ask for money.
When it comes time to pay respects next year, everyone will probably rush to pay their respects.
Gao Bin shook his head hurriedly and said: "It's not a matter of returning the gift. Master Jiu was very happy to see the dumplings. He also said that Fujin loves to eat sticky dumplings with bean filling, so the gift was just right..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment and relayed what Lord Jiu said.
Mrs. Li felt relieved and said, "It's your aunt who is the matchmaker. It's not wrong. Can she still harm us? In the early years, when we were having a hard time, your aunt's help was a big help."
Gao Yanzhong narrowed his eyes.
Brother Jiu is not a nosy person, and he was able to raise Gao Bin like this because he regarded him as one of his own.
I'm just an elder brother who grew up in the palace. How could he think of dating?
It's Brother Fusong's business...
Or...it's about Erhe's guards?
No matter which one it is, it is quite troublesome.
Gao Yanzhong really listened.
Gao Yanzhong also had some understanding of his sister-in-law's character.
Among the sisters, she is the strongest and loves to look down on others.
It's not a bad idea, but when I borrowed money in the early years, my attitude was indeed different from now.
In the past two years, I used to say some sarcastic words at first, but then they became less frequent.
But after Gao Bin became the eldest brother of the ninth elder brother, she came over. What she said was that her eldest son had grown up and was idle now.
That nephew is arrogant. He claims to have a fourth-grade assistant as his uncle. He is not good at literature and military skills. He has developed the temperament of a young master and is not a down-to-earth person.
The nephew also looked down upon the poor relatives of the Gao family.
This is why when Brother Ninth asked him to recommend people in the first month, he mentioned not only Gao Bin but also his nephew from his sister's family instead of his nephew from his aunt's family.
, if his brother is also like this, then we really need to see the family tradition..."
Li pursed her lips and remained silent.
No matter how much my sister kisses me, she can't kiss her son.
At first, I just thought that the other party was the princess of the family, and that it was "kissing and kissing each other", so it was definitely not wrong.
Now, she is no longer sure...

In the prince's mansion, the study room in the main courtyard.
Brother Jiu pointed at the book sent by Fu Qing, with an expression as if he had a toothache, and said: "Is this teacher really conscientious? In the presence of a bachelor, how many national affairs can you think about and keep an eye on?"
Are you studying?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "This should be the reason why the emperor values Lord Ma so much that he treats you with diligence, prudence and respect."
Otherwise, if he was really indifferent to the student Jiu Age and turned a deaf ear to Kangxi's words, what would Kangxi think?
Brother Jiu had a tangled look on his face and said: "In this way, I still have to study the Book of Rites carefully, and I can't delay it for too long, otherwise it will appear that the teacher doesn't care."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, what the rich guard said makes sense. It's time to learn early."
"Then after learning this, what should I do if I point to the next book?"
Brother Ninth felt a little unsure and looked at Shu Shu pitifully.
All I can say is that it's your own fault.
In the past, when I was studying in the study room, I didn't pay attention, and I just fooled around if I could.
If you were to make people numb now, if you were to follow the standards of the Imperial Father, you would probably have to go through it all over again.
Shu Shu said: "It's okay. Among the Four Books and Five Classics, the "Book of Rites" is already the largest one, with nearly one hundred thousand words. The only one with more words than this is "Zuo Zhuan", which has twice as many words. The rest are more and more.
There are less and less people coming..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not 100,000 words. "Book of Rites" is a total of three books, with 200,000 words. In addition to "Book of Rites", there are also "Book of Rites" and "Book of Rites"!
Shu Shu thought about the three books carefully and said: "A lot of the content in the middle is repeated, and it should be easier to study it together. The forty-six chapters of "Book of Rites", the seventeen chapters of "Yili", and the "Zhou Zhou"
"Ritual" six chapters, the total is sixty-nine chapters, divided into four or five chapters a month, it takes more than a year to complete the study, so as not to procrastinate like this and be watched by the emperor all the time."
Anyone who did something slightly wrong would be regarded by Kangxi as a lack of etiquette.
Brother Jiu felt much better after hearing this.
Compared with the number of two hundred thousand words, sixty-nine articles does not sound so numerous.
He looked at Shu Shu and said: "We agreed, we will learn together, you can't leave me alone..."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Let's learn together."
I read these briefly before, but I had only a vague understanding of them. Now I read them carefully, and they are quite interesting.
Brother Ninth brought up Gao Bin's marriage again and said: "My aunt is the matchmaker. If she is really good, why didn't she do it earlier? Gao Bin has been a man for several years, who has such a young man to start discussing marriage? I guess so.
I would like to mention a few more words about people who follow the trend of others..."
Shu Shu was actually a little worried after hearing this.
She praised: "I'm right, marriage is not a trivial matter, it's better to be cautious."
As for relatives acting as matchmakers, they are much more unreliable.
Maybe because of their horizons, they think that kind of person is a good choice.
Maybe he just had bad intentions and gave it to the wrong person on purpose.
In this world, those who "hate some people but laugh at others" are often either other people or relatives and friends around us.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "I have found that I am becoming more and more thoughtful in my actions. Gao Bin is the one I want to use. If he is really worried about housework, it will delay things..."
Shu Shu thought it was because Brother Jiu was soft-hearted.
This is a nice plus…
Early the next morning, Brother Jiu ordered Erhe to make another trip to the Nanyuan paddock to deliver "gifts" to the emperor.
Before asking someone to go, he hesitated.
He immediately gave up the idea of whether Fusong and Erhe should take turns to have such an opportunity to appear in front of the emperor.
Fusong's age and qualifications are shown here. The master of ceremonies of the fourth grade is already super promoted. It will take three or five years before he can talk about anything else.
So there is no rush here in Fusong, we can come to Erhe first.
Erhe is a noble son, and he is not a fool. He also knows that this is the grace of the ninth elder brother.
He was deeply moved, but he made up his mind to be a guard of the Prince's Mansion for a few more years.
When Ninth Brother is officially knighted, he will try his best to help select and evaluate the guards, and then talk about other things after supporting the guard team here.
Since it was a "gift" dish, it was delivered before early noon.
Therefore, Erhe arrived outside the paddock at the beginning.
After knowing that the seventh elder brother was responsible for guarding the paddock, the ninth elder brother told him to go directly to the seventh elder brother this time.
Erhe showed his badge and asked the guards at the door to pass the news inside.
After a while, the seventh elder brother and the fifth elder brother came over together.
Today, the paddock was surrounded by two red flags. The fifth elder brother had nothing to do, so he came over to talk to the seventh elder brother.
Hearing that Brother Jiu had sent someone over, he was worried, so he came with him.
Erhe held the meal in his hand and said: "Today is the new year, this is the 'gift dish' given to the emperor by Master Jiu, and he sent the servant to bring it..."
The seventh elder brother nodded and said: "Wait, I will send someone to the imperial court."
After that, he ordered the eunuch beside him to go to the emperor to deliver a message.
The fifth elder brother looked at the lunch box and said worriedly: "Is it cold after it has been sent all the way?"
In that case, the taste will not be good.
Erhe bowed and said: "It's a cold dish."
The fifth elder brother lowered his head and glanced at the big cowl on his body, then looked at Can Xue in the corner.
Although it was the beginning of spring not long ago, today is already the ninth day of "June 9", but the weather is also cold.
What do you think, "dishes" are served with cold dishes?
He was a little worried, and then thought about the greenhouse in his brother's house.
Maybe a mixed dish?
In that case, eating it with barbecue will relieve the greasiness.
"What are you doing these days?"
The fifth elder brother expressed concern.
Erhe had received the order early, and followed what Brother Jiu had told him, saying: "Master Ma has given us homework, and now we study every day."
After hearing this, the fifth elder brother showed sympathy on his face and said: "That's not easy. You will finish your errands and leave later. I will leave some meat for him."
The fifth elder brother hasn't gone out yet, but he has already said hello to others and left some venison.
Erhe bowed and responded.
After a while, Wei Zhu came over, bowed to the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, then looked at Erhe and said: "The emperor is idle, please call the guards over to talk."
Erhe bowed in agreement, confessed his sins to the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother, and followed Wei Zhu to the imperial court.
Wei Zhu and Ninth Elder Brother have known each other for a long time, and they also received the annual reward from Ninth Elder Brother a few days ago.
A piece of soapstone seal material, and a pair of palm-length gold paperweights.
Wei Zhu reciprocated the favor and had goodwill toward the people in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. He whispered: "The Emperor likes filial and honest children..."
Although he was tall, his face was childish, and he looked like a half-grown child at first glance. When he said such old-fashioned words, Erhe didn't know how to answer the question or how to address him. He just said politely: "Thank you for your suggestion...
…”
Wei Zhu only said this, then remained silent and led him to the imperial palace.
By Kangxi's side, Fushan was also there...
