When Gui Dan returned to Guo Luoluo's house in despair, he was greeted by Jiu Age's curse: "You have been so embarrassed! This is not Shengjing, and that is not the Guo Luoluo family that can be provoked and bullied." , how dare you fabricate evidence and make false accusations out of thin air? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"
Guidan knelt down honestly, with a sense of grievance: "That's not Master Jiu praising Shopkeeper Shun An as a talented person who can be of great use... But the last time she begged Dong E, she didn't give him face, so the slave wanted to beat her up. The lawsuit, regardless of winning or losing, if the signboard is broken, let them know how powerful they are, and they will be honest and obedient... Who would have thought that they were dogs, not only would they smell the smell and stare closely, but they would even have evidence..."
Brother Jiu's face was gloomy, and he kicked Guidan: "Idiot! I haven't figured it out yet, this is a trap! Who would be so prepared in two or three days!? Only women and villains are difficult to raise. Yeah, it’s just that I was a bit rude when I was begging for help, so I made all this happen... I didn’t tell you that I bought my shop, but I dared to trick me!"
Guidan was awakened, reacted, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that girl did it on purpose. She deliberately told people to say that there were fakes on the market and they were not all real money! She also mentioned that stamp marks were not allowed. Fake, there is a special person responsible for this, if I hadn’t heard this, how would I have thought of suing the bank for selling fake..."
After chattering, the deputy commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Division came with the closing documents of the Guidan case, and was accompanied by the steward left by Shu Shu.
For cases that have been tried in court, even if the complaint is withdrawn, closing documents must be filed.
According to Shu Shu's intention, the relevant compensation must be stated in the documents, including not only the shop, but also the inventory in the shop's books.
After hearing the compensation conditions proposed by Shu Shu, Brother Jiu's face turned pale: "You want Qianjinfang to compensate? You have such a big appetite, why don't you be afraid to keep it up?!"
Qianjinfang is in Guidan's name, but it is Brother Jiu's capital!
Guidan did this just because he wanted to poach people, but Dong E's family directly grabbed the shop. Is he really stupid and didn't know that his "Second Master Jin" was the ninth elder brother?
Or do you think you are a noble daughter and don't take your bald brother in your eyes?
Looking at that plausive, money-grubbing and cunning character, how could he be so stupid? !
Brother Jiu could no longer deceive himself. It seemed that he had really been looked down upon by a woman.
But what if we don’t reconcile?
The evidence is conclusive. If we really fight this lawsuit, we will definitely lose. False accusations will make the Guo Luoluo family have a reputation of being greedy for money. Not to mention him and the fifth brother, even the empress and nobles in the palace will follow. Shameless.
"Okay! Give it to her!" Brother Jiu said gloomily.
I can’t believe it, I can always be a bald brother, living in the capital, there will always be a “reward” one day!

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi sat cross-legged on the kang, his face sinking as he looked at the zhezi in his hand.
Nearby attendant Liang Jiugong bowed beside him, holding his breath and concentrating.
It has been three days since Xiu Nu left the palace, but the marriage proposal has not been sent out because she was stuck in the selection of Jiufu Jin.
Originally, the emperor had already chosen a suitable candidate, but who would have thought that something unexpected happened and the Tong family stepped in to uncover the origin of Mrs. Aling'a's Wu Ya family.
Wu Ya was the half-sister of Concubine De. She was not a direct descendant of the main wife, but everyone thought she was a side chick.
Because of the old Manchu custom of the "concubine" system, Fu Jin was also a wife, and his children were treated the same as his concubines. Only concubines, concubines, and concubines were classified as concubines.
When the Wuya family married the Tong family, Wuya married Aling'a. Who would suspect that she was born from a concubine?
"The Tong family has a close relationship with the prince?" Kangxi seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking someone.
Is it because the prince doesn't want the relationship between Concubine Yi and Concubine De? Or are you not happy to see the ninth elder brother marrying the tenth elder’s maternal family?
Liang Jiugong hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "My uncle was very friendly to the Crown Prince in his early years. He died for his country loyally and bravely. It seems that he was alienating..."
Kangxi was startled when he heard this. It involved the death of Tong Guogang...the twenty-ninth year...the Battle of Ulan Butong...
He was supposed to be on the expedition in person, but he returned early due to the cold weather, leaving the main force behind to plan the encirclement and suppression of Galdan. However, due to the weather, the troops from the three groups on the east road were delayed in arriving...
In the end, it was announced to the outside world that it was a "big victory". In fact, it was said that it was a "tragic victory". The Eight Banners' 100,000 elite troops were lost by 40%, and more than 40 generals and subordinates were lost in the battle. The loyal and brave Duke Tong Guogang died in this battle...
When Ge Erdan finished firing his firearms and retreated, Tong Guowei once pursued the main force, but was blocked by Suo'etu...
Kangxi let out a long breath, closed the booklet, threw it on the desk, picked up another booklet, and opened it. It recorded the information of the sixteen show girls who "stayed in the palace" for this draft, including their background and appearance. , behave in character.
"Your Majesty, your servant Zhao Chang is back and has something to report!" A voice came from outside the door.
"Enter!"
Kangxi looked at the door.
A eunuch in his forties came in, but he didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, he glanced at Liang Jiugong who was standing beside him.
When Liang Jiugong saw it, he just didn't know. He still looked at his nose, nose and mouth, and looked concerned.
"Where did the ninth elder brother go?" Kangxi asked thoughtfully: "Is it the Guo Luoluo family, or... went to the Tong family..."
"Master Jiu...went to Beicheng Bingma Si Yamen..."
Zhao Chang was at a loss for words, but he did not dare to delay, and told the story happily: "On the third day, the eldest son of the Guo Luoluo family, Gui Dan, went to the Bingma Si Yamen in Beicheng to file a complaint against Qi Xi's Shun'an Bank for counterfeiting... The Yamen is hearing the case this morning..."
Surprise appeared on Kangxi's face. He thought about various possibilities, but he never expected that Brother Jiu would have such an itinerary. He couldn't help but be curious: "Qi Xi responded to the complaint and came forward to file a lawsuit with Guidan?"
Zhao Chang shook his head quickly: "Master Qi Xi probably doesn't know about this... I asked the commander Jin Chengbi. Although he sent people to Master Qi Xi's house to mediate the lawsuit, he didn't see Master Qi Xi, but the leader of Dong E's family. Gege... That shop is the private property of Mrs. Qi Xi. At the beginning of the year, it was transferred to the name of the Dong E family's eldest daughter. Today, it was the Dong E family's eldest daughter who went to the Yamen to respond to the lawsuit... but she did not go to court..."
Zhao Changben witnessed this incident with his own eyes, and his description was very vivid. What is strange is that the conversation between the ninth elder brother and the eldest brother of the Dong E family was similar.
Kangxi listened to the quarrel between his sons and daughters and smiled: "Lao Jiu has always been arrogant, but this time he was looked down upon!" After saying that, he picked up the list of beautiful ladies again, and the second one was "Dong E" , the daughter of Zhenghong Banner Manchuria's first counselor and fourth counselor, Dutong Qixi, her mother was Jueluo Shi (the daughter of Baerba, who has been removed from the clan). She was born on October 13, the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign. She was quiet and dignified, gentle, gentle, reserved and decent. Needless to say, the series of praises that followed were the comments given by the nanny of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who stayed in the palace for half a month.
His temperament was completely different from what Zhao Chang described, but Kangxi was not surprised.
Like father, like daughter, such a smart and smart girl is Qi Xi's daughter. The one she saw in the palace before was like a wooden pile, with a low eyebrow and a flattering look, which made it difficult for people to remember.
Children whose parents eat fast and pray to Buddha should be pampered no matter how much they should. It is rare that they are not spoiled and they abide by the rules and laws in everything.
"Happy birthday, consider yourself a blessed child!"
Kangxi put down the roster and looked at Zhao Chang with a solemn look on his face: "Dong E really doesn't know the identity of the ninth elder brother?"
Zhao Chang thought about what he knew, shook his head and said: "I don't know... Guidan's mother was born in Gaolizuo, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and led the Jin family. Master Jiu claimed to be the 'Second Master of Jin', and he should have assumed the identity of the Jin family... …”
Kangxi's expression softened slightly, he looked at the booklet and fell into deep thought.

In the Dutong Mansion, Shu Shu had simply freshened up, changed into homely clothes, and took notes in the study.
I gained more knowledge and participated in a civil lawsuit. The law can indeed protect property, but will favor and power interfere with the law?
Maybe there was favoritism in the local government, but under the feet of the emperor in the capital, with the censor watching, it was much clearer after all.
A good memory is not as good as a bad writing. Since her memory awakened three years ago, Shu Shu has often recorded some life essays.
In fact, the history known to later generations is slightly different from the real history.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the current attire of Banner women is not at all the “two heads” and “big wings” shown in later movies and TV dramas, but a kind of braided bun, single bun for married people, and bun bun for unmarried people. Double buns are not covered with gold and silver, they are only decorated when going out to meet guests.
However, as the world became more peaceful, Kangxi promoted Confucianism, and the Eight Banners began to be Sinicized, the younger generation began to dress more luxuriously, with richer accessories than the older generation.
Qi Xi and Jue Luo both loved the girl, so naturally they didn't want to lose Shu Shu.
Shu Shu had several boxes of jewelry prepared before she grew her hair, and the number has increased year by year since she started growing her hair when she was ten years old. There are also two boxes of palace flowers, including velvet flowers, silk flowers, and gauze flowers, whatever is fashionable. Shu Shu was not used to these and never used them at home. She only wore one or two when going out so as not to be rude.
After lunch, Shu Shu took a nap as usual.
When she woke up, Xiaochun came back from the front yard and brought the closing documents that the steward had brought back.
Shu Shu looked at the compensation written on it and felt refreshed. She seemed to be one step closer to the tea garden. Just when she was about to share her achievements with E Ni, the maid from the main house came over to send a message, and Jue Luo was summoned.
When Shu Shu rushed to the main room and saw Jue Luo, after hearing a few words, she felt as if she was struck by lightning: "What, you pointed out that the ninth elder brother is the direct descendant of Fujin?!"
Isn't the ninth elder brother Fujin "the seventy-year-old daughter of Dong E, the commander-in-chief of the capital"?
My Ama’s name is Qi Xi, not Seventy!
