Brother Jiu felt that his heart and liver ached!
The whole place occupied only one-fifth of the space where the holy driver lived, sat, and slept.
If only this one area is repaired, it would be a waste of 80% of the money.
"Khan Ama, my son has been checked, and there are problems with both food and accommodation..."
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and told what he had discovered in the afternoon: "There is a huge supply shortage in the palace dining room, and the meat in the dining room of the palace staff has been wiped out... The son of the house checked several places, and the kitchen on the left room, and the last two entrances on the middle road...paste the walls with white paper, pretending to be repairs, and even use incense burners to cover them up, how dare they?"
Liang Jiugong was beside him and couldn't help but be speechless.
These minions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really lawless.
Even if someone working as an errand in the capital has dirty hands and feet, they would not dare to be so greedy.
The ones left outside have become fattened up.
You must know that Shengjia has to go outside the Great Wall to escape the summer almost every year, and the industry also allocates repair expenses every year, which adds up to a large sum.
Kangxi's face darkened: "Is this true? Is this the case with the Queen Mother too?"
He was not very close, his biological parents died early, and he was truly filial to his aunt, the Queen Mother.
Tributes from various places, this is the first one from the Queen Mother.
In these years, except for the visit to the mausoleum in the 22nd year of Kangxi's reign, the Queen Mother did not come. Kangxi had to accompany the Queen Mother to other visits to the mausoleum, summer vacations and visits to Mount Wutai.
With such respect, he will not allow others to look down upon him.
Brother Jiu shook his head: "My son doesn't know, but in order to avoid 'snatching the grass', my son turned to the side of the empress in the middle..."
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong: "Go to the Queen Mother and give me two glazed lamps."
Already holding the lamp, even mother and child need to avoid taboos.
Liang Jiugong responded.
Brother Jiu was a little unsure.
If the Queen Mother's place is also undergoing serious repairs, what does that prove?
It proves that these people are greedy, but they are still loyal and respectful to Khan Amma.
The number of greedy inks is controlled at less than 50%.
Khan Amma won’t forgive these guys, right?
Brother Jiu grinded his teeth.
He didn't want to find out after checking that "the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light", so he counted the meat for dinner on his fingers.
"Regardless of the difference between Khan Ama and the imperial grandmother, and only counting the other two levels of masters, the total is more than 150 kilograms of pork... But tonight's special dish, the only salt-fried pork, is pork, thin I laid out one plate, probably two or three ounces per plate, and the gross weight is half a pound, which is only a dozen pounds of pork, and I only used 10% of the proportion..."
Brother Ninth was talking about the detailed account, and the more he talked, the more angry he became: "This is not scraping the meat, this is even chewing the bones!"
Kangxi's face became more and more gloomy. He couldn't wait for Liang Jiugong to come back, so he stood up and said, "Follow me to see your mother-in-law..."
Brother Jiu silenced his voice and followed behind with a guilty conscience.
After listening to the scoldings of several brothers in the afternoon, he remembered that he had left the group with Shu Shu and others before he even said hello to his empress.
When Concubine Yi was living, she came in from the back.
There are five rooms in the main room, where Concubine Yi lives.
There are five rooms in the east chamber, where Zhang Bin lives.
There are five rooms in the west wing, where three noble people live.
A few of them live in the penthouse.
Kangxi did not bring anyone else with him, nor did he sound his whip to clear the way. He just brought his ninth elder brother, followed by several eunuchs and guards.
When the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard saw him, they all gave in and knelt to the edge.
The courtyard was quiet, and the lights were already on in the main room.
Concubine Yi was sitting on the kang, doing needlework under the lamp.
Hearing footsteps in the yard, he raised his head and looked through the window.
It was not dark yet, so after taking a quick look, Concubine Yi immediately got up and went out to greet her.
When she arrived at the door, Kangxi had already strode in.
"emperor……"
Concubine Yi was about to squat down and was supported by Kangxi.
Kangxi touched her hand and saw that it was wearing a thimble. He couldn't help but frowned: "What kind of work are you doing when it's all dark? It's bad for your eyes to be careful..."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "I am also idle. I saw that the weather has been stuffy these past two days and the weather is more humid than in previous years, so I wanted to sew the emperor's middle coat. I used Songjiang cloth, which absorbs sweat..."
Kangxi's brows relaxed and he nodded slightly: "Then don't stay up too late. Just sew during the lunch break tomorrow..."
Concubine Yi smiled and nodded: "I listen to the emperor..."
Brother Jiu followed Kangxi and felt strange for no reason as he watched the emperor and concubine get along with each other.
The corner of Yi Fei's eyes had already glanced at Brother Jiu, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Huh? Who is this? Why does this palace look familiar to me?"
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "Eniang..."
"Hmph! Now that I think of this lady of mine, I thought you jumped out of a crack in the rocks, just by yourself!"
Concubine Yi was angry.
You bastard looking for trouble!
Be a good demon!
Not to mention Fujin, who was torturing himself, how brave was he to dare to travel with his two younger brothers? !
There are three dangers in sailing and horse racing, but if something goes wrong, it will be his fault!
Brother Jiu quickly looked at Kangxi: "Khan Ama..."
Kangxi coughed lightly: "He's grown up too, so he has to learn to take responsibility..."
Yi Fei snorted and then ignored Brother Jiu.
Kangxi came in and looked around the room, seeing the snow-white wallpaper on the surrounding walls.
On the Kang table, there was an incense burner, but it was not lit and had been extinguished.
Concubine Yi poured the tea and served it. She saw Kangxi's movements, followed them, and explained: "I thought the smell was too strong, so I ordered people to put it out... The climate in the mountains is low, and there are few mosquitoes. It is not smoked. Any house is fine..."
Kangxi did not speak, but raised his chin to Brother Jiu, motioning for him to come forward and check.
Brother Jiu still found a secret place and took off the wallpaper.
Kangxi stood behind him and looked at the stains and mildew under the wallpaper, his face turned pale.
Concubine Yi was curious about the two men's actions, so she followed them, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and turned her eyes to Brother Jiu, with worry on her face.
Kangxi didn't say anything. He watched Brother Jiu restore the wallpaper and said to Concubine Yi: "Nalanzhu, you should rest earlier. I will take Brother back..."
Concubine Yi agreed and personally sent the two men out.
At this time, all the nobles living in the courtyard knew that the Holy Driver was coming.
No one dared to come out to attract attention. There was only one person standing at the door of the west wing, looking in the direction of the main room.
Seeing Kangxi come out, the man immediately became happy and said softly: "Your Majesty..."
Kangxi glanced away and strode out of the yard.
Brother Jiu followed behind, feeling a little uncomfortable.
It seems that Khan Amma is really angry and is angry with Guo Guiren...
The same goes for Guo Guiren. Everyone else stayed in the room, but she came out.
If something happened, wouldn't it be a joke to other concubines?
Liang Jiugong had already returned. When he saw Kangxi coming in, he did not dare to delay, so he bowed and reported: "I took a special look. The room is bright and bright, with brand-new wallpaper... The scent of sandalwood is very strong, and there are two incense burners in the room. For this reason, the Queen Mother even praised the servant, saying that she was doing her job well as a steward..." At this point, she paused and said, "My servant smelled it carefully, and there was a faint musty smell in the room... I didn't dare to disturb the Queen Mother. , did not check the upper room, but went directly to find the nanny who had come with me. She was placed in the wing room... The servant picked out the cupboard and peeled back the wallpaper. There were no signs of repair inside..."
Kangxi's expression was already calm, and he was not surprised by this result.
He looked at Brother Ninth: "You found it out, tell me how to deal with it?"
Brother Jiu straightened his waist: "In reply to Khan Ama, I think it is not appropriate to 'snatch the enemy'... Looking at their behavior, they don't look like novices... There are also two previous palaces, which have not been checked, but only The food theft is a sure thing...According to my son's idea, 'Family scandal should not be made public', so it is better to hide the matter first and remember it all the way through the investigation...When Khan Amaruan returns to Beijing, we will make a unified settlement. ...Without those people in the capital to provide them with cover, they wouldn't be so greedy..."
After Kangxi heard this, his face showed surprise: "Is this all your own idea?"
Brother Jiu was a little excited and nodded: "If it were any other yamen, these bugs would naturally be found out immediately... But this is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and those who fill the vacancies are all Sanqi Bao, so it's not good to make too much noise... …”
As for Shu Shu's role in the middle, Brother Jiu kept it in his mind and didn't even think about it, just for fear of showing signs of it.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
Shu Shu is not a harem, and this matter does not involve government affairs, but Brother Jiu vaguely feels that this is taboo.
The male leads the outside and the female leads the inside.
Whether it's Khan's Ama or the empress, they are willing to take care of Shu Shu's daily life, but they don't want her to interfere with his external errands.
Sure enough, Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu's face several times, and could not see any traces of guilty lies before he nodded: "You have thought it through quite well, so let's do this first. You have done a good job and you know the general situation..."
Brother Jiu's face was flushed, and his body felt a little lighter.
This is the first time he has been praised by Khan Ama since he was a child!
Until he returned to the row house, Brother Jiu was still in a daze, with bubbles all over his body and the corners of his mouth almost cracking to his ears.
When Shu Shu saw this, she couldn't help but feel hopeful: "What kind of reward did you get?"
How much silver?
Can it be so beautiful? !
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said with a little pride: "Silver? Is the master short of silver? Khan Ama will reward you with silver at the end of the year!"
"Is this... a compliment?"
Shu Shu said casually.
"Uh-huh!"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and dismissed the walnuts at the door, then turned over and lay on the couch, laughing "haha".
There is no one else who can feel this joy.
Shu Shu was taken away with a smile on her face.
He is really a child, he is so happy when he gets a word.
"Khan Amar praised me for being thoughtful and said, 'He does a good job and he knows the general situation'..."
Brother Jiu recounted the process of being praised in detail, his eyes sparkling.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "It is indeed thorough... Otherwise, with my previous temper, I might not be able to bear it..."
Brother Jiu hugged Shu Shu in his arms and whispered: "I know that I am greedy for your merits...I should have praised you, but I didn't even say anything..."
"I know, I am protecting me..."
Shu Shu also lowered her voice and said gently and gently: "Master treats me so well..."
There are many beautiful things in this world, and being connected is one of them.
Brother Jiu let go of Shu Shu and looked at her smiling face. His heart was pounding. He felt that the most adorable woman in the world was in front of him.
Every word can touch people's hearts...
