At this moment, Liang Jiugong came with Zhao Chang.
Brother Jiu looked at the deputy general manager who was about the same age and seniority as Liang Jiugong.
This man was wearing blue and black clothes, and his face turned dark.
The emperor's father sent him here, what are he going to do with the Ma family and the Wuya family?
Isn't it the same method used in Guo Luoluo's family?
Ask directly...
The ninth elder brother remembered something and hurriedly said: "Khan Ama, my son forgot to mention it before. In September last year, the fourteenth elder brother asked for ten thousand taels of silver from Wuya's family, and then he added more.
The fifth share was given to Thirteen half, and he made an 'additional' one with his son. Looking at Brother Fourteen's quickness, it didn't seem like it was the first time he spoke, so he had better check carefully to see if the Wuya family was greedy.
If the big end of the silver is sent to the palace, then if you keep the small end, it will not be so hateful. No one is a saint..."
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Are you magnanimous at this time?"
Brother Jiu said: "If the punishment is light, don't worry. If you turn around and get a heavier punishment, it's a severe punishment. It won't be good if you wrongly accuse someone!"
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "Kneel down, I know how to do things, you don't need to interfere in this matter..."
Brother Ninth is sleeping well.
It's okay if it doesn't involve punishing the two leaders, but if it does, it's really not something he, a junior, can dictate.
He respectfully withdrew.
Kangxi's face suddenly darkened, he looked at Zhao Chang and ordered: "Interrogate the people of the Ma family and the Wuya family and count up the amount of silver they have paid to the palace over the years. I want to see the total number. I will wait until the confession comes.
, go to Yonghe Palace, Zhongcui Palace to interrogate the chief eunuch, the steward, and the palace people..."
The palace concubine is in the inner court, but with money, she has eyes and ears, and can stretch her hands far away.
At the beginning of last year, he only checked the personnel and spies in the palace of the three descendants, but did not check the fourth concubine. Moreover, he showed great pity for the four concubines.
The death of Concubine Rong and Concubine Hui was a complete misfortune. At that time, smallpox was still coming one after another.
Concubine Yi and Concubine De also died young, and the prince and princess...
But in fact, since the death of Queen Xiaoyi, the fourth concubine has been in charge of palace affairs for ten years.
How did the relatives spend the money that they paid to the palace concubines with their filial piety?
Kangxi hoped that everyone would be well, but he had to be vigilant...
*
Brother Jiu left Qingxi Bookstore and felt at ease.
Little did he know that he would be the culprit again, causing Kangxi to start looking at the inner court for the second time.
Ninth Brother, who was still worried at first, was secretly worried that the emperor would think of the precious prince at this time, be reluctant to leave him there, and tell him that he would go there. In that case, he would be stunned to death.
Fortunately not.
The hidden private account of 160,000 yuan was also covered by someone.
Ha ha……
He felt that his beloved son was a little more beautiful...
As for what will happen next for the Ma family and the Wuya family, well, anyway, he said good things, and he was worthy of the fourth brother and the fourteenth brother, and he was completely benevolent and righteous...
Passing by the lotus pond and looking at the graceful lotus leaves, Brother Jiu slowed down.
Last year, I had fried fragrant pork with fresh lotus. Fujin loved it. The ingredients used were pork filling and blanched lotus leaf tips.
Brother Jiu then ordered He Yuzhu: "Ask the Yuan Shanfang to take someone to pick dozens of lotus leaf tips. Then take a portion of the dried lotus leaves collected last year and send them to the fifth house. Tell Fujin to ask someone to make two lotus leaves."
Ye’s vegetables are here for you, they are in season..."
He Yuzhu agreed and went to find the manager of the garden kitchen.
When Brother Ninth arrived at the check-in room, he took out the folded pages and copied them again.
No other changes were made, except that the money of the eldest brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother was written down, and then one hundred and sixty thousand taels was added after the emperor's father.
However, I had to warn my brothers not to spend the money they got without spending it. Except for a few young ones, they all had sons and daughters, and they looked like aunties.
There was nothing to do here. Brother Jiu took a supply brochure from Changchun Garden and read it with great interest.
Two more ornaments were added to the concubine's place. The window screens in Wang Guiren's place were orange and attracted greasy insects, so they were replaced with azure ones after the rain...
The Princess of Huichun Villa rewarded a plate of cherries, two melons, two goldfish, and a handle of bamboo...
Brother Jiu curled his lips, the old couple was very clinging to the lake, and they had just moved to Changchun Garden for more than ten days, and they had already rewarded them several times.
It is estimated that at the beginning of the afternoon, Brother Jiu left Changchun Garden and returned to the fifth house.
When Shu Shu saw him coming back, she said, "Are you talking about the dish 'Fried Pork with Fresh Lotus'?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, I remembered that you like to eat, so I asked He Yuzhu to bring back some fresh lotus leaves under the guise of serving dishes..."
Shu Shu smiled and said, "I was just about to eat this."
Although this is a bit against the rules, who knows that he has just made a contribution now.
Again, Kangxi was put first. She just had to accept the kindness and there was no need to preach.
Brother Jiu held her hand and said, "As long as you like it, I will buy it for you."
Shu Shu hugged Brother Jiu's arm and whispered: "I treat you with the same heart, and I treat you with the same heart. Apart from that chair, I will buy anything you want for me."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "I have no shortage of status and money. My parents are healthy and my children are well-off. I have you with me in the middle. It would be too greedy to ask for anything else. It's fine now. Let's relax."
Live your life happily!"
Shu Shu nodded, and then said: "Then I only ask for one thing. That is for us to live a long life, not to mention a hundred years, but also to ninety-nine."
Brother Jiu nodded without hesitation and said: "This is certain. If you dare to leave me, I will directly accept ten or twenty princesses and give birth to a house full of concubines and concubines. How many of them will be born?"
His title and money were all divided!"
Shu Shu pinched his waist and said bitterly: "One day, I will take you with me to save you from becoming a stepfather..."
When it was lunch time, Qingxi Bookstore had two dishes. In addition to the fried pork with fresh lotus, there was also a cold lotus leaf tip.
Kangxi called the manager of the garden kitchen, pointed to the two dishes, and said: "Brother Jiu has harmed the lotus leaves again? Or was it you who did it?"
The general manager of the garden kitchen: "He Yuzhu said that Master Jiu looked at the daily supplies in the garden kitchen and saw that there were only spinach, radish, water radish, cabbage, king melon and gourd, so he asked his servants to pick the tops of lotus leaves.
Later, word was sent to the Yuan Shanfang, saying that it was the vegetables of the imperial fifth month, plus two kinds of wild vegetables, including lotus leaf tip, benthic mustard and amaranth."
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Forget it about the lotus leaf tips, the emperor's village can provide them with the same varieties as amaranth and marshmallows. This is not only the case for the emperor, but also for the empress dowager. For all the masters below the concubine, the supply will be reduced."
The manager of the garden kitchen agreed and withdrew.
Only then did Kangxi mention Kuaizi and try Jiu Age's dish of "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha".
The fried pork with fresh lotus is fragrant and crispy, but it is fried after all, so I am still a little tired of eating it now.
On the other hand, the cold lotus leaf seedlings are slightly bitter but bring back the sweetness. It is sweet in the mouth and is just right to eat now.
Thinking that Concubine Yifei would get angry after eating melon seeds, Kangxi took two bites and said to Liang Jiugong: "This dish is good, I would like to concubine Yifei..."
Liang Jiugong responded, packed the food box, and went to Huichun Villa.
Here in Kangxi, thinking of Brother Jiu, he couldn't help but shake his head.
He really just gave me whatever he wanted without asking any more questions.
Even if you know that there are not many types of vegetables in the kitchen in May, you should still choose a few stable ones.
How can this lotus leaf seedling become an example?
There are originally few lotus ponds in the capital, and they have become a regular dish. There is no need for the lotus pond in Changchun Garden.
There are also amaranth and amaranth, which grow wild. If you don’t allocate the next part of the Huangzhuang, how can you directly make daily portions?
If the palace only supplies this to the emperor, and not to the queen mother, concubines, princes, or princesses, then what will happen?
It seems like he is unfilial and unkind.
Not thorough.
The careless ninth elder brother was also eating lunch at the moment, and then looked at the twelfth elder brother across from him.
Isn't this younger brother shy?
It seems that when eating rice, the dough is a little thicker.
But he only glanced at it and moved away.
If he gets embarrassed, he probably won't be coaxed, and he looks like a very stubborn child.
The twelfth elder brother was eating fried pork with fresh lotus and thinking about the shredded pork noodles in the morning.
I used to think that the pork was so delicious because of the superb cooking skills of Brother Jiu's chef. It turns out that the pork from my own side sometimes tastes not too bad.
After finishing the meal, he said with some hesitation: "Brother Ninth, do you really want to stay here tomorrow night? Do you want to tell Sister-in-law Ninth in advance?"
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "Stay, I told you, your Sister-in-law Ninth has asked someone to find new bedding. You and Brother Five will stay here tomorrow. Brother Five will stay in the east room, and you will stay in the West room..."
The twelfth elder brother was still confused and said: "Can't you go back?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said, "You don't know when the palace gate will be closed?"
In summer, the city gate closes late, but the palace gate closes at a fixed time, so there is no way to go back in time.
The twelfth elder brother asked: "Can you bring me my own bedding?"
Brother Jiu said: "You can move wherever you want..."
That is to say, he only stayed for one day, otherwise, Brother Ninth would ask people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up the South Fourth and South Fifth Houses.
Those two courtyards are still empty.
Brother Twelve breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Brother Jiu looked unhappy and said, "Why, you still dislike my bedding being dirty? They are all new bedding, why can't I let you use the old ones?"
The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said: "I don't mind it, I'm just afraid of wasting it..."
Brother Jiu thought about it and realized that this was not wrong.
The bedding used by the twelfth elder brother and the fifth elder brother is not only left idle, but also used as a reward.
Good things are ruined if you only use them once.
He nodded and said: "Very good, this unnecessary waste is to be saved. Then don't go back to the palace directly when you go back in the afternoon. Go to the fifth brother's house and ask him to bring bedding tomorrow...
"
Brother Twelve felt a little heavy and didn't really want to come.
The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother, remembered something, and said: "Don't go directly, go to Baiweizhai to buy a few boxes of dumplings or some cherries, mulberries and so on. It won't be weird if there are many people. You
Not only a younger brother and brother-in-law, but also an uncle!"
The twelfth brother listened and blushed a little: "I came here empty-handed the day before yesterday and today..."
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth twitched and he said: "You are here to deliver an official document, not just a drop-in! When you come here tomorrow, look for some fresh fruit..."
