All the way to the fifth institute, Brother Jiu was smiling.
Seeing him like this, Shu Shu knew he wasn't being scolded and felt relieved.
All relationships between people need to be managed, and the relationship between father and son is no exception.
It would be bad if there were too many quarrels.
Taking advantage of the fact that there are still many years before Kangxi becomes old and suspicious, cultivate the relationship between father and son first, then the blood will be strong enough to withstand risks.
When Brother Jiu saw Shu Shu, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's so funny. You don't know how much fun the Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother had just now. Their stomachs were about to explode and they didn't even dare to take long steps when walking.
Even if you are mounting a horse, you have to help others!"
Shu Shu also laughed and said: "The emperor gave you food? What about me? Can you hold on?"
Brother Jiu shook his shoulders and said with a smile: "Haha, I don't have a big appetite, so they don't expect me..."
As he said that, he thought of the kidney bean rolls, took it from He Yuzhu's hand, and said, "I specially asked for the kidney bean rolls for you. Since you like to eat them, just ask the people in the kitchen to prepare them."
Walnut handed over the handkerchief, Shu Shu wiped his hands, ate a piece, and said, "Just try it once in a while. This pastry is also delicious in every pot."
The Prince's Kitchen can also make kidney bean rolls, but the texture is not as delicate as those in the Imperial Kitchen.
The white gum chefs there have been passed down from generation to generation, and they are certainly not comparable to the new cooks from outside.
Brother Jiu thought of Xiaoshi'er and told Walnut: "Go to the dining room and pack the things for digestion into two portions, one to send to the second house here and one to the third house in the south..."
Walnut responded and went down to prepare.
Brother Jiu sent He Yuzhu down, and then told Shu Shu what happened to his Majesty just now.
"Khan Ama is relieved, no matter how much he dislikes him, he is still a grandson..."
Having said this, he felt a little sad and said: "The main reason is that I can't bear to bear the pain of losing a son..."
He really wanted to say something, as if no one had ever lost a son, but he felt it was unlucky, so he quickly suppressed it.
Not to mention, just thinking about it like this, several families have lost their children in infancy.
There were two little brothers in the East Palace, three little brothers in the Sanbeile Mansion, and a little brother and a little Gege in the Sibeile Mansion.
Brother Jiu couldn't sit still and said: "I'm going to see Fengsheng and Akdan..."
Shu Shu also stood up and said, "Let me take another look too!"
The couple went to the east wing first.
Fengsheng fell asleep and looked cute and cute.
When he came out of the east wing, Brother Jiu proudly said: "Better looking than Hongyu and Hongqing..."
Shu Shu didn't have this confidence and said, "Hong Qing is pretty good-looking too..."
Concubine Rong was not very smart, but she gave birth to six children in eleven years. Apart from Yizi, her appearance was not bad either.
Before Concubine Yi entered the palace, Concubine Rong was the most favored concubine.
The third elder brother is a bit like a mother, and his facial features are better than those of his brothers.
San Fujin's appearance is also one of the best among the prince Fujin.
Hong Qing, the child born between the two, is also very cute and looks better than the other little brothers.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I'm just following my roots. I'm not very smart. I was last in the study class."
Shu Shu blinked and said, "Is it because you are too young? Hongqing is the youngest among the emperor's grandsons who go to the study..."
There are five grandsons studying in the study now. Except for the two grandsons from Yuqing Palace, there are three grandsons outside.
Hongyu from the eldest brother’s family, Hongqing from the third elder brother’s family, and Hongsheng from the fifth elder brother’s family.
The three little brothers are of the same year but in different months. Hongsheng is the oldest, born in April; Hongyu is the second, born in September; and Hongqing is the youngest, born in Dongyue.
When she entered the study room this year, Hongqing said she was five years old, but in fact she was three and a half years old, still the age of the small class in kindergarten.
Brother Jiu said: "You can see how old you are at the age of three. Whether your reading aptitude is good or not will be revealed as soon as you go to school."
Shu Shu was speechless after hearing this.
Could it be that he followed San Fujin?
San Fujin doesn't seem very smart either.
Will it be too curly?
You're only five years old, aren't you?
"Third Master seems to be quite strong, are you annoyed?"
Shu Shu said.
Parents in later generations will be depressed due to tutoring and homework. At this time, parents will probably need to be punished with stick education.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I guess he doesn't know that he is so stingy that he only rewards people with hollow silver ingots when entering the palace. This is not a good thing. Who would say this to him?
"
The couple went to the west wing to see Akdan, and to the back room to see Da Gege...
*
Head place.
After the third elder brother finished his dinner, he went to the study room in the front yard.
Sanfujin's eyes were as charming as silk, and he looked a little sore in the back, so he had to slow down.
They were an old married couple with three children. They were still slimy, their bellies were still loose, and their waists were full of fat. Third Brother felt a little disgusted.
When he arrived at the study and saw the young eunuch writing the pen, the third elder brother became impatient and sent him away with a wave of his hand.
What about guarding against thieves?!
There were so many girls in the house, but none of them were brought, and the girls in front of them were all left behind.
The third elder brother was a little sullen and felt that he could not live in Haidian all the time and had to move in and out in order to relax and unwind.
He remembered that his younger brothers had been left to eat by the emperor, and he felt aggrieved. He called the young eunuch at the door back and said, "Go to the Second Institute to see if Master Qi is back. If he is back, tell him that I have something to ask him."
Come here; if you don’t come back, forget it..."
The little eunuch responded and went down. As soon as he came out of the head room, he ran into Zhou Song who was delivering something.
Zhou Song was holding the food box and had already called the door.
When the eunuch from the second house came to open the door, Zhou Song picked up the food box and said, "Our master asked me to deliver it to Master Qi."
The eunuch said: "Please wait a moment, I will report to our master..."
As he spoke, he looked at the eunuch at the head office.
The little eunuch said: "Our master said to see if the seventh master has come back. If you have anything to do, please ask the seventh master to come over..."
The seventh elder brother was standing in the study room in the front yard and heard movement at the door.
After hearing the report from the eunuch at the door, he said: "Collect the things from the fifth station, tell the people at the first station, and say that I am drunk and rest."
The gate eunuch listened and sent the message back.
After a while, the doorway returned to purity, and the courtyard door was closed again...
When the third elder brother got the news and found out that the seventh elder brother was "drunk", he was a little surprised.
He actually gave me wine?
Khan Ama is in a good mood. Are there any happy events recently?

South Third Institute, main courtyard.
The fourth elder brother was pacing and muttering to Si Fujin: "Lao Jiu is such a bastard that he needs to be dealt with. Has Dong E been a virtuous person? He depends on Lao Jiu for everything, so how can he be relied on?"
Si Fujin heard these harsh words and said, "Isn't it true that when you get married, you must obey your husband? This is what everyone talks about nowadays. If you don't obey, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it either!"
The fourth elder brother said: "There are different types of people. If you are like me, if you can establish a family, you will have less worries. If you are like Laojiu, who can't make a living, you still need Dong E's persuasion."
Si Fujin thought of the basket of eggs at noon and said: "My brothers and sisters are fine in other aspects, but they are too unorganized and don't give many gifts on weekdays. As brothers and sisters, we can't always take advantage. Next month, the three nephews will be born.
My niece is only 100 days away, so ask people to prepare more gifts!"
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "It should be so, courtesy should be reciprocated."
Si Fujin glanced at his fourth elder brother and kept his words in mind, so that he would not misunderstand Shu Shu later and have to nag him again, so he said: "However, my brothers and sisters do act according to Uncle Jiu's wishes. Today I will give you eggs, so that's it."
Only the first institute was sent to us, not the second institute..."
"What eggs?" Si Age asked.
Si Fujin said: "My brother and sister raise chickens on Zhuangzi and deliver a lot of eggs every ten days. Yesterday, I seemed to have given a lot of eggs. Uncle Jiu and my brothers and sisters sent people to deliver them everywhere."
The fourth elder brother looked in the direction of the second school and pondered: "How is Guo Luoluo's learning of the rules now?"
Although the two families are next to each other in Beijing and outside the capital, the eldest brother-in-law and his sister-in-law cannot meet each other.
But this stingy attitude in giving eggs is indeed Laojiu's style.
Si Fujin thought about today's situation and said: "It looks like he is no different from the others, and his words are thoughtful. It can be seen that he has suffered a lot and knows how to control his temper."
The fourth elder brother snorted coldly: "Then who in the palace lacks rules? How can you be so stupid after growing up in the rules? It's just being arrogant and being deliberately rude."
Mrs. Guo Luoluo didn't understand the principle of ordering the elders and younger ones, but as if she was afraid of suffering a loss, she put her own status on the line and suppressed her sisters-in-law.
"It's just a matter of looking honest, and it will be fine if you go to the back." The fourth elder brother was still unhappy and reminded his wife.
Si Fujin nodded, not having any friendship at all.
At this moment, someone came in and reported: "Master, Fujin, Master Jiu has sent someone to deliver something."
The fourth elder brother thought of the ninth elder brother's laughter just now, and he didn't really want to appreciate it.
But Hawthorn Pills are still Hawthorn Water, which is exactly what we need now.
He nodded and said: "Take it, I'll give you a reward..."
The man left, and Shao Jiu came over with a food box.
Looking at the two-layered food box that was one and a half feet tall, the corner of Si Age's mouth twitched.
Is this for digestion?
When I opened it, there was a box of hawthorn honey pills and two cakes of Pu'er tea.
On the lower floor, there are two ceramic jars, one with sour plum soup and the other with cherry jam.
Si Fujin smiled and said, "I was just thinking of drinking something sweet and sour. This cherry jam is just right. Do you want to make a bowl?"
Fourth Brother Lida made his stomach feel better after several laps. He waved his hand after hearing this. He couldn't take a sip, then he picked up a big honey pill and started chewing it...

West Garden, Tuoyuan Bookstore.
The prince looked towards the capital, his face a little gloomy.
Aktun was seriously ill, and the princess hurried back to the capital after receiving the news. Now she stayed in the palace to take care of him, and she became a loving mother.
What about my own Amma?
She didn’t show up all afternoon. What does Khan Amma think?
Will you feel that you are unkind?
The prince was a little anxious, and for the first time he felt bored with the princess.
It's always like this, using her thoughtfulness to make others less thoughtful.
I was in the study in the afternoon, and I asked no one to disturb her, but things also have priorities. She is the Crown Princess, and she insists on being informed. Who would dare not to tell others?
This is the West Garden, not Yuqing Palace.
The movements of the couple may not be visible to others.
