Chapter 943: A son is filial to his father and has a generous heart (monthly ticket)
Shu Shu would not remind Ninth Prince Kangxi of his problems.
It's good to keep the tenderness going like this.
Even though he misunderstood that Kangxi favored the prince and felt a little sour, he got used to it after being sore.
Cui Baisui came over and said: "Master, the fourth master is here and is sitting in the front hall."
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu looked at each other, stood up and said, "I guess the fourth brother just heard about the third child. Let me go ahead and take a look."
Shu Shu nodded, glanced at the clock, and said, "It's time for dinner, why don't we just ask someone to bring the dining table to the front?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Fourth Brother tastes bland, so I asked someone to add two side dishes."
Shu Shu agreed.
Brother Jiu picked up the curtain and went out.
Shu Shu thought for a while and ordered Walnut: "Ask the kitchen to add an egg roll, rice cakes with red dates, a plain assorted tofu box, stir-fried cabbage..."
Walnut responded and went to the dining room to spread the message.
At this moment, Brother Ninth also arrived in the front hall.
"Fourth brother!"
He went to bed early last night and got up late this morning. He looked very energetic.
Fourth Brother looked at his face carefully for a few times, his complexion was rosy, and he was speechless.
Really heartless.
"I just asked the kitchen to make ice powder. It's delicious and not so cold..."
With that said, Brother Jiu ordered the people at the door to go to the dining room to spread the word, saying: "Put more taro balls in one bowl, and put more honey red beans in one bowl..."
Cui Baisui responded and went.
Fourth Brother waved his hand and said: "No need."
The ninth elder brother sat opposite the fourth elder brother and said, "Why are you so polite? I was so upset yesterday that I didn't think of this, so I asked the dining room to make a recipe for you. This kid will eat better, and I'm sure he will like it."
"
Fourth elder brother glanced at him.
What's the rule for entertaining guests with children's food?
But now is not the time to talk about this, he said: "I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs just now, and I learned that the third brother is assigned to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Brother Jiu had just finished voicing this to his wife, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy on his face.
Brother Si was stunned, what was that expression?
He looked at Brother Jiu and stopped talking.
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "I just think Third Brother is quite pitiful. It's getting hotter every day, and the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are still very trivial. Master Ma and Master Ha are just in name. Third Brother has to sit there all day long."
Yamen."
Fourth elder brother looked up and down at ninth elder brother, but he really didn't see that he had such a good character.
Like the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother and the younger elders who were watching all felt that the third elder brother was unkind, but the ninth elder brother was not upset at all. The sun was rising in the west?
"What did Fujin advise you?"
Fourth Brother pondered, thinking of this possibility.
Brother Jiu's heart was moved and he nodded: "I, Fujin, said that this is Khan Amma's kindness and concern for my health. I had the summer heat the year before last and was afraid of the heat. It would be good to take a rest. Please tell me to be more filial to Khan in the future."
Amma also said that she is currently busy taking care of the three little ones, and she feels more at ease with her younger brother at home..."
Brother Si didn't show it on his face, but he felt comfortable in his heart.
This is what a good wife should be.
If the situation "adds fuel to the fire" at this time, there will be discord between father and son, and the conflicts between brothers will become more and more serious.
When he looked at Ninth Brother again, he felt that his facial features had become softer, completely different from the unruly and rude appearance in previous years.
The ninth elder brother was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but touch his chin and said: "Fourth brother, can you tell that my younger brother is fat? Hi! It's all because of my younger brother Fujin. She was in confinement a while ago, and she sent good medicinal materials from outside.
, she asked the imperial doctor to take a look at her, and she took her younger brother to take supplements with her. She hasn’t nursed her back well yet, and her younger brother has gained seven or eight pounds here..."
It's just that he is thin to begin with, and his weight of seven or eight pounds is not very noticeable.
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "My siblings are pretty good..."
It would not be good if you have children and leave your husband behind.
The old nine-year-old is here, still half a child, and it is the time when he needs someone to keep an eye on him.
"Third brother, if you ask for mercy, you will be rewarded. You don't need to sympathize with me, but don't worry. I just went to the imperial palace and told Khan Ama that I will call Twelve Ah for the few things you made and the Xiaotangshan Palace.
Brother is in charge, and as for Third Brother, he should not care about this for the time being, he is busy with several relatives raising flags..." Fourth Brother said.
"Huh?"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Which concubine's mother-in-law has lost an elder, or is it that one of the concubines' mother-in-law is not feeling well?"
Fourth Brother frowned, glared at him, and said: "Everything is fine, what are you guessing?"
Brother Jiu said: "Don't you think of the time when the Guo Luoluo family raised the flag? Our mother-in-law is no longer in good health..."
Speaking of this, he was a little confused.
I hadn't noticed it before, but now I realized it was after the Double Ninth Festival in the 35th year of Kangxi's reign.
In July of that year, my brother died on the eleventh day.
The empress's serious illness was partly due to the loss of her mother, and probably more to the loss of her son.
Brother Si also thought of this and couldn't say anything. He just said: "All three families raised their flags..."
Brother Jiu blinked and said, "Is this a good thing?"
Fourth elder brother rolled his eyes at him.
Isn't this nonsense?
Although Baoyi is also a member of the Zhengshen Banner, it is different.
Otherwise, how can it be called "raising the flag"? Who doesn't want to go up?
"But with this move, the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are no longer available? With the Guo Luoluo family's lessons learned, how can it be so easy to gain a foothold in Sanqi?"
Brother Ninth said.
The fourth elder brother thought for a while and said: "There are more people to choose from the Three Banners. The errands in the army are easy to fill, and the future is better than that in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "That was during the war. If there was no war, wouldn't it be just a piece of money and food? What's the use of it?"
Brother Si thought for a while and said: "Of the local officers stationed at the Eight Banners, many of them have gone to the Three Banners in recent years."
Brother Ninth didn't worry about those three families. He just thought about it and said, "Then it seems that Khan Ama also loves the third brother. He is afraid that these families will be greatly constrained, so he will be taken out first?"
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said, "Is there anything that the Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to do?"
Brother Jiu suppressed himself so as not to lose his composure. He nodded and said, "That's right. Otherwise, why don't you do something to show your authority to the censor? If you don't clean up a few of them, then my brother's carrying of the sedan chair will not be in vain."
After hearing this, Brother Si thought it made sense.
He had previously patrolled the Yongding River with his retinue, and then went to visit the Mausoleum. He didn't have much information, so he asked the ninth elder brother: "What's going on in the Ministry of Internal Affairs recently?"
Otherwise, why would Yu Qian think of sorting out the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that nothing happened. I just asked Ama Khan a few questions about the Fucha family..."
"Fucha family?"
The fourth elder brother was a little stunned: "Ma Da's family?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not that, it's the Fucha family of the Accounting Department, a direct branch of the Shaji Fucha family, currently in Baoyi, the mother clan of Suo'etu..."
The fourth elder brother did not ask any further questions.
In this way, it does make sense.
It is estimated that the emperor's father wanted to purge Suo'etu's influence in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and was afraid that Yuqing Palace would hate Brother Shang, so he brought him out first.
He wasn't worried at all.
As for the third elder brother, he jumped into the pit on his own. He probably has to be punished enough before the emperor will send him out.
At this time, the dishes and rice in the dining room were also prepared and placed in the front hall.
The two brothers moved over and sat down.
Brother Si wanted to say a few words when he saw a table set up, but when he saw the dishes clearly, he stopped saying anything.
The only meat dishes included were a chicken meatball and cabbage pot, and a hand-shredded chicken. The rest was cold radish skin, cold fungus, and the four additional vegetables Shu Shu ordered.
Except for the cabbage pot, all six-inch plates are used, and there are not many vegetables in each.
The staple food is steamed buns with mixed noodles and millet porridge, and the dessert is the ice powder ordered by Brother Jiu.
The ninth elder brother thought of the diet of the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother yesterday. There was a huge difference.
Compared with the two hungry brothers, the fourth brother really doesn't have much appetite.
He complained like this, but forgot that he was no better.
By the time he arrived, he was mostly full after eating half a bowl of taro ball ice powder, two chicken meatballs, and a quick piece of fungus.
The chicken meatballs are filled with crispy chicken bones, which make your teeth chewy when you eat them.
Using this braised cabbage, the soup is clear and not greasy when you drink it in summer.
The fourth brother ate to suit his appetite and found it to be more delicious than the usual fat chicken pot. The shredded chicken was also good. The red oil was put in it, which just gave it a taste. It was not as greasy and spicy as expected, but it was appetizing.
It's just a childhood habit of only eating seven-tenths of the food to fullness. Brother Si took two bites of each meal and that was enough.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was no longer eating well and was eating taro balls one by one, the fourth elder brother disapproved and said: "How old are you? If you still don't eat well, can these snack-like things satisfy your hunger?"
Brother Jiu swallowed the taro balls in his mouth and said: "My brother is different from you. Now because my brother Fujin is replenishing his body, he eats five meals a day, one cake in the morning and another in the afternoon."
Even though I had a medicinal meal, I didn’t move anywhere and I wasn’t even hungry.”
The fourth elder brother frowned and said, "What did the imperial doctor say? Doesn't eating like this destroy your stomach?"
Brother Jiu said: "The imperial doctor said it's okay. It's indeed a tonic. Just don't eat it before going to bed. It will hurt your stomach at that time, so don't overdose..."
The fourth elder brother was relieved now.
After coming out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince did not go to the Household Department, but went directly back to Baylor Mansion.
The ice powder is quite delicious.
Brother Jiu also asked the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and gave him the recipe.
Sifu Jin is now five and a half months old, she is pregnant, and she is afraid of the heat, and she seems to have lost weight.
She was a little worried when her fourth brother came back at this time.
According to my husband's style, he rarely spends the first half of the day in office.
Brother Si handed her the list and said, "Don't you have a bad appetite recently? Try this?"
Si Fujin took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Isn't this ice powder? Oops, my sister-in-law gave me the prescription last year, and I ate it a few times, but I didn't think of it this year..."
The fourth elder brother asked unexpectedly: "Why don't you remember?"
Sifu Jin said: "At that time, I went to the outside of the Great Wall with my retinue and was not in the capital."
The fourth elder brother again thought of the red date rice cake from the Ninth Prince's Mansion. That one was also quite delicious. Fujin and the two younger ones should love it.
He couldn't help but glance to the west and sighed to Si Fujin: "I have discovered that there is a huge difference between marrying the right Fujin and marrying the wrong Fujin. No wonder the ancients said, 'A good wife has a good husband and few misfortunes'..."
There is another sentence to the sentence "A virtuous wife and a good husband seldom cause harm", which is "A son is filial to his father and has a broad heart."
The fourth elder brother glanced in the direction of the Forbidden City. Is the emperor's heart forgiving now or not...
