Brother Jiu thought of several excuses before. It was inconvenient to take Fujin with him, or it was inconvenient to take care of his younger brother, or he felt that he lacked energy.
Seeing that the seventh elder brother was treating him seriously, he put all these words aside.
"Khan Ama, my brother should take care of these moths. First collect the money, then keep the accounts, and then settle the accounts... Yesterday I went to fool around, and it was for this reason... The eldest brother didn't know what was going on, so he just thought I was short of money, so he scolded my brother. Yes, the younger brother promised the elder brother that he would not accept any money from me in the future... The seventh brother thought about whether he was willing to take over this job... If he is willing, the younger brother will go and tell Khan Ama... If it is troublesome, just listen to it. Just treat me like a younger brother and come here to say thank you..."
The seventh elder brother's eyebrows were twisted into knots. He looked at the ninth elder brother several times before he said, "Really paper on the wall?"
Brother Jiu said: "Of course it is. My brother has checked it himself. The same is true for Yaoting Xing, and the same is true for Sanchakou Xing... They are really brave. Except for Khan Ama, this is the case everywhere..."
"What's going on in the dining room?"
The seventh elder brother asked again: "There was nothing unusual about the meal supply yesterday and the day before yesterday..."
Brother Ninth told Yao Tingxing about the shortage of pork in the dining room.
Brother Seventh frowned even more tightly, and after a while he said: "I will go with you to see Khan Ama..."
The team has already started setting off.
Naturally, this is not the time to go to Yuqian.
It wasn't until they exited the checkpoint and marched along the royal road for an hour and a half that the team stopped.
The glazed lamp had already been extinguished.
Brother Jiu glanced at it several times before getting off the carriage.
Much brighter than other lights.
When I returned to Beijing, I went out to search for a new one.
My wife is used to going to bed late and once complained that it was difficult to read if the light was not on.
The Holy Spirit rides on the carriage.
Kangxi was looking at the unfinished papers yesterday.
Qin Hongchao, the pacifying envoy of Maogang, Huguang, begged for leave because of his illness.
This is a military native official, inherited from the Qin clan, the chieftain of Maogang.
According to the rules, the imperial court did not intervene to appease the envoy's successor.
The previous pacification envoy will select the successor as the pacification envoy.
The candidates recommended by Tan Hongchao Zhezi were either his son or his nephew Tan Shengji.
Kangxi held the fold and pondered.
He remembered clearly that Tan Hongchao's comfort was not passed down from father to son, but from father, brother and nephew.
Now the heir is another nephew! ?
Regardless of whether Tan Hongchao recommended him willingly or was coerced, as soon as this information was sent to the imperial court, the candidate for heir was confirmed.
However, a chieftain's territory is less than the land of a county, and the inheritance dispute cannot be explored.
Kangxi also read the records of Lizhou Zhizhou, which contained Tan Shengji's resume.
In the year he was established, his bravery was different from ordinary people. Last year, he collaborated with the Shizhu chieftains to put down the Hongmiao rebellion.
Kangxi's eyes fell on the "year of establishment".
The eldest brother is twenty-eight years old.
The prince is also twenty-five years old.
There are more than a dozen elder brothers standing below...
He feels that he is still in his prime, but his sons are getting older and his grandchildren are arriving one after another, all of which remind him that he is getting old.
He took a long breath, wrote "accurate", and closed the fold.
Then I heard Liang Jiugong report through the car curtain: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Master and the Ninth Master want to see you..."
Kangxi put down his pen and came in.
It was inconvenient to stand in the carriage, so Kangxi motioned for the two of them to sit down and asked casually: "How did you brothers get together?"
The ninth elder brother glanced at the seventh elder brother and wanted to speak, but was stopped by the seventh elder brother's eyes.
"Khan Ama, I want to ask for help, so I will take over the errand that Brother Ninth is currently doing..."
The seventh elder brother bowed.
The smile on Kangxi's face faded: "Oh? Okay, why do you think of this? Brother Jiu asked you for help? It's not an urgent errand, and you don't need the two princes..."
The seventh elder brother said sternly: "Khan Ama, there are several elder brothers accompanying the emperor, and the sons and ministers are just to make up for the number... Ninth elder brother's work here is not big, but he has to rush around morning and night... Ninth elder brother just got seriously ill just before. It is time to recuperate, so as not to damage the foundation. If this recuperation is not done properly, wouldn't it make the elders worried... Besides, there are nine younger siblings and two younger brothers accompanying us, which will cause many inconveniences..."
The ninth elder brother looked at the seventh elder brother blankly, with surprise and doubt on his face.
The seventh prince had given him all the reasons he had thought of before to avoid doing his job.
Could it be that among the brothers, the one who has the same connection with him is not Lao Shi, who he grew up with since childhood, but the seventh brother who rarely interacts with him? !
Brother Jiu was so surprised that he couldn't breathe for a while and started coughing.
"Cough! Cough! Cough..."
He quickly turned sideways to avoid the tea tray on the small table, but he couldn't stop himself and coughed several times in succession.
Kangxi frowned and reached out to slap him on the back a few times.
Brother Ninth finally stopped coughing.
The seventh elder brother brought the tea and handed it over: "Take a sip of hot water and squeeze it down... Is it because of the cold wind? It's a little cold this morning..." After saying that, he glanced at the vest on his body, nodded and said: "Brothers and sisters Be careful, you should add more clothes, don’t stick to the rules..."
According to the current rules, changing clothes must follow a fixed time.
Most people change their clothes after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
Brother Jiu took the cup of tea: "Thank you, Brother Seven... Hey! Who is wearing this now? It's only Dong E who is so verbose that I wore it..."
Kangxi carefully looked at Brother Jiu's face, which looked tired and his eyes were green and black.
In fact, Brother Ninth was a little excited yesterday when his brothers took turns to care for him. He spent half the night talking to Shu Shu about the little things in his childhood.
On the first day when I went to the study room, I was frightened by the eldest brother holding him up. From then on, I avoided him like a tiger. If he got older, he would be annoying.
I and the tenth child were not good at homework and did not like copying books, but the fourth child still insisted on coming over and acted as a supervisor to watch the two of them copying, and they were verbose.
The third elder brother was a lot older than them in terms of pretentiousness, and he was also a greedy person, so he shamelessly ignored his snacks.
The seventh elder brother was very angry. Once in the school yard, the eighth elder brother kindly tried to help him get on his horse, but he threw him away with his arm and ignored him for half a month.
…
It was all trivial matters. Jiu Age talked about it lively and Shu Shu listened with interest, and they chatted for the rest of the night.
Kangxi was annoyed and scolded: "What did I tell you before? You don't know whether you are feeling comfortable or not? Do you have to show off at this time?"
Brother Ninth put down his teacup and listened to the instructions honestly.
He glanced at Brother Seven, but it was hard to explain.
After all, the seventh elder brother said a lot, but it was actually for his own good, so as to prevent him from temporarily taking off his errands and leaving the impression of being useless to Khan Ama.
Brother Jiu said those reasons himself, as if he was choosing the easy and evading the hard.
It would be better if Brother Seventh said it.
Brother Jiu appreciated his sympathy and admitted that he was weak. He just said: "I just haven't had a good rest in the past two days. I'll be fine in a few days..."
Kangxi glared at him: "After handing in the errand, follow the team well and ask the imperial doctor to ask for Ping An's pulse the next day..."
The pulse of Ninth Elder Brother is all on Kangxi’s desk.
I remembered the imperial doctor's previous nursing plan, which was to start conditioning Brother Jiu's body after he came out of hiding.
Because I had to follow the regiment, and Brother Jiu's food supplements were okay a few days ago, I didn't start.
"Start taking medicine tomorrow!"
Kangxi made up his mind: "First regulate the spleen and stomach..."
Brother Jiu had a look of displeasure on his face: "Khan Ama, didn't you say before that you weren't in a hurry? Now that I'm away from home, I can't eat well or rest well, so I eat two bitter soups a day..."
"Not happy? Then you can stay in Lama Cave, or go back to Beijing first!"
Kangxi's expression left no room for doubt.
Lama Cave is where we will be stationed tonight.
Brother Jiu shut his mouth obediently, with a bitter look on his face.
*
Shu Shu lay in the carriage, admiring the ninth elder brother very much.
Sometimes he is petty, and sometimes he is really a bit generous.
Just like this errand, what is given now is not the hard work, but the visible credit.
Quite cute.
After riding for two days, Shu Shu was satisfied.
The carriage ride was a bit bumpy, but actually it was okay once you got used to it.
horse riding……
Wearing a hat and gloves, sun protection is in place.
But it still shouldn’t take too long.
My thighs felt so uncomfortable.
After walking on the mountain road for the past two days, the temperature has dropped, and the carriage is no longer as stuffy as before.
It’s better to learn to adapt, slow down and enjoy the journey.
Shu Shu thought about this and groaned: "Try harder..."
Xiaosong responded, increased his strength, and continued to press her waist.
In the bird cage next to it, the little oriole stood on the beam, staring at Xiaodou, looking at the two of them curiously, it was so cute.
Who can resist the temptation of fluffy fur?
Xiaosong's child's temperament always looked at him: "Fujin, should you feed Xiaomier or insects?"
Shu Shu turned her head and looked sideways: "You shouldn't be picky about food..."
Huang Que took it for a long time, but he didn't put it in the house last night. The little eunuch next to the tenth prince took care of it.
Xiao Song said: "If you don't eat millet, I will catch grasshoppers..."
This is Shu Shu’s knowledge blind spot.
"Go and ask Master Ten in a moment and see what Master Ten says..."
Shu Shu ordered casually.
Looking at the manner in which Brother Ten was playing with the birds yesterday, even if he has not raised birds himself, he should know about them.
Eaters are short-tongued and take advantage of others softly.
Thinking about accepting the gift from Brother Thirteenth, Shu Shu asked Xiaotang: "You have asked the people around Master Thirteen before about their dietary taboos. Do you know what Master Thirteen's food preferences are?"
Xiaotang nodded: "I'm not picky about food. I eat all vegetables except coriander. What I like to eat is meat... I like to eat all kinds of meat..."
Shu Shu nodded.
Two days ago, she asked someone to pack up two boxes of snacks and gave them to the people around the two elder brothers to provide comfort when they were hungry at night.
There is no need to send food now.
Although reciprocity should be reciprocated, there is no need to pay it back immediately after accepting it yesterday.
That's not a return gift, but rather like drawing a clear line.
As for the eldest brother and the seventh brother, they have delivered food before, so there is no need to rush.
However, Brother Ten neglected one thing.
That's horses.
The Ninth Prince said before that the horses he owned were not as good as those of the Tenth Prince, but the emperor unexpectedly gave him a horse.
Shu Shu had an idea and was not self-absorbed.
When the ninth elder brother comes back withered, he will complain a lot.
"Khan Ama did it on purpose! He dislikes me again. He must be picking on me for not overestimating my abilities or something, so he forced me to drink the bitter soup right away!"
Brother Jiu put his head on Shu Shu's shoulder and said aggrievedly.
"It's not my fault, it's my fault and I should have stopped him... The emperor and the empress asked me to take care of Mr. Gu's body..."
Shu Shu said with a little guilt.
"I can't blame you... I made my own decision and didn't agree to discuss it..."
Brother Jiu spoke with a guilty conscience, remembering the couple's previous agreement.
The two of them had said before that they would discuss matters with each other.
At that time, he only thought about surprising his wife and forgot about this.
Shu Shu saw it in his eyes and had no intention of pursuing it. He just said softly: "A surprise like this is enough once. Who knows when the surprise will turn into a fright... I know that you are doing it for me, and I also think of you." , I just feel uneasy..."
Things like this that are not planned disrupt the rhythm and make people anxious.
Brother Jiu nodded: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome, and even harder than before..."
Shu Shu sighed: "This is the human heart. Real money and silver are right in front of you, within your reach. How many people can hold it?"
Moreover, the corruption in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was only a corner of the official corruption in the Kangxi Dynasty.
River channels, water transportation, relief...
The money allocated is the bulk of it...
"By the way, there's still some time left before the team leaves. Otherwise, I'll go find my brother... and ask Amma to come forward and give each of the Tenth and Thirteenth Masters a horse..."
Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu felt regretful: "Why did I forget this? I'm so confused..."
He didn't mean to be polite to his in-laws, so he stood up immediately and said, "That's fine, but my father-in-law has to spend money..."
Qi Xi was accompanied by thousands of Zhenghongqi officers and soldiers. Even if he had many horses, it would be a trivial matter to use two horses temporarily.
There is no rule for ministers to give horses to princes.
Some of them were relatives and sent them as gifts.
Some of them, who were not relatives, also gave them away.
As the father-in-law of the ninth elder brother, Qi Xi gave horses to the two young elder brothers at this time, and no one else would look at him with suspicion.
After all, the two little elder brothers are now with the ninth elder brother and his wife, and the brother and sister-in-law are looking after them.
Qi Xi "loves the house and the bird", so it is normal for him to contribute.
Brother Jiu immediately took He Yuzhu to Zhenghongqi Camp.
Shu Shu had already got off the carriage, watching Brother Jiu go away, and thought of a sentence.
One daughter and three thieves.
I seem to be a little heartless, not wanting to help my natal family, but taking advantage of my natal family.
This is so inappropriate!
A good horse is worth a lot of money.
Especially when you are in a hurry, it would be fine if you have enough horses. If you don't have enough, you will still owe favors if you misappropriate them from others.
Shu Shu regretted a little...
