Seeing Brother Jiu's eyes twinkling, how could Shu Shu not understand?
This is a bad thing.
In the previous incident, I suspected that Suo'etu was the mastermind behind the incident, and I also had a feeling of dissatisfaction with the prince.
She was angry and funny: "Master, think about the emperor... I can't even hide my little thoughts from me, how can I hide it from the emperor?"
Applying eye drops is just a trivial approach.
Whether it can be effective depends not on whether the eye drops are well applied, but on the difference in weight between the two sides.
In the eyes of Kangxi, the judge, all the servants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not as valuable as the Nine Princes.
The balance is naturally tilted.
If it were the prince on the other side of the scale, it would be a different situation.
Brother Jiu was silent for a while, and then muttered: "Is this all for nothing? Even if the prince is not the mastermind, he is not innocent. He is the backer of their evil deeds..."
His original plan was not only to not deduct the daily supply of Yuqing Palace, but to increase it, and compare it with the imperial supply.
What would Khan Amma think if he did this once or twice?
Now being reminded by Shu Shu, he knew it was not easy to use this method.
Shu Shu thought for a while, stood up, took a piece of paper and handed it to Brother Jiu.
There is an ink mark on it.
"Can you help me think of a way to remove this ink stain?"
Shu Shu requested quite seriously.
Brother Jiu looked at it and asked in confusion: "Is this still possible? Even a watchmaker or a paper remover would have traces on his lower body..."
Shu Shu said: "If it's not cleared up, what if it's covered up?"
"Ah? Isn't it getting darker and darker? This is not something that can be made up for..."
Brother Jiu had a strange look on his face: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I can't understand why you have become so stupid..."
As he said that, he felt worried and stretched out his hand to touch Shu Shu's forehead: "I don't have a fever either, why am I so cold..."
Shu Shu was angry and grabbed Brother Jiu's hand and bit it: "Have you ever forgotten that I am 'Chang Youli'? Isn't this just telling me the truth... There are traces in everything you do, and the more you do, the more you forget." It’s about making amends, the bigger the loophole gets..."
Brother Jiu frowned and nodded reluctantly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, otherwise you will have to argue again..."
Shu Shu handed him another pamphlet: "If you don't know where to start, try this..."
As for the main contradiction in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it should not be intensified.
Otherwise it will be of no benefit to your family.
Now Kangxi was annoyed, or he asked Brother Jiu to take over because he wanted to rectify it.
But if he changes his mind and wants to be lenient again, then Brother Ninth's punishment will become "harsh" and mishandled.
In order to show his kindness, he sacrificed the Jiu Age flag as a sacrifice.
Brother Ninth took it and looked at it with surprise on his face: "This is going to be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
This is a plan to sell pills in Mongolia.
Shu Shu smiled.
She still remembers Brother Ninth Brother's frustration and resentment yesterday, and her joy today is also precious.
If she can persuade Qi Fujin to change his mind, she will naturally find another way to help Jiu Age avoid the reform dilemma of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"I am already the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so our structure should be more generous... We have no foreign debts, and we have no shortage of food and clothing. It will not be a loss if I use this to get a foothold in the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Shu Shu said with a smile.
Brother Jiu held Shu Shu's hand and was speechless for a long time.
He had done the calculations before, so he naturally knew how huge the profits were.
He was a little reluctant to give up.
It's not this way of making money, but how Shu Shu and I work together to control costs, calculate profits, and improve the plan bit by bit.
"Everyone was waiting for me to carry out the Wrath of Thunder, but instead of sending him money, they would think that I am a coward..."
Brother Ninth is still stubborn.
Shu Shu advised: "So what if I'm punished again? When the time comes, the newly recruited people will still be the nephews of these people... At that time, I have to be careful, everyone will be the enemy... When I see the wise, I will only follow the emperor." Act just..."
At this point, she lowered her voice: "How the Emperor governs the Eight Banners, I will govern the Three Banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the model. The designation cannot be wrong..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then I won't go to see Khan Ama today. You can't catch up like this, as if no one cares about being the manager... I will mention it in front of Khan Ama tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, just pretending not to mention it... …”
Seeing his arrogant look, Shu Shu naturally had no objection and just said: "Master Qi, do you want to give me a gift?"
Brother Jiu shook his head: "You don't need to take it seriously, otherwise it would be like asking for a gift in return... Didn't I make a lot of honey sesame balls last time? I remember that Lao Qi also likes to eat sweets, so I will give them to him later. Just two boxes..."
Shu Shu was a little surprised. She really didn't realize that Qi Age was a sweet lover, but he and Qi Fujin could eat together.
She asked Xiaotang to prepare honey sesame balls, and then ordered: "I've also written down the recipes for ginkgo and chicken cakes and put them in there..."
The chicken cake here is not steamed, but fried, similar to Tamagoyaki, with milk and sugar added. This is what Brother Thirteen ordered before.
Xiaotang went down to get ready.
The atmosphere in the room was just right, and Shu Shu didn't forget to reply in the evening.
My mother-in-law also has a countdown.
"How on earth should I tell my wife? I don't know how to lie, and I can't tell the truth..."
Shu Shu was very embarrassed and looked at Brother Jiu trustingly.
Brother Jiu thought for a while, stood up and said, "Forget it, it's easy to cause trouble if these words are spread around. I can't hide it. It's better for me to leave... There is something happy happening, and the fifth brother is really Seeing that things are better, I don’t have to worry so much..."
Shu Shu followed him out, and did not forget to remind him in a low voice: "If the queen is angry and says something about me, please remember not to say anything against me. Just listen..."
Nice romance
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "You are overthinking again, okay, what do you blame me for? Just keep your eyes peeled and wait for me to come back..."
After speaking, he took He Yuzhu out.
Shu Shu returned to the house, saw the booklet on the small table and slapped her forehead.
It's really stupid, I didn't ask Brother Jiu to hold this...
*
Xing Zai, Yi Fei's living room.
Dinner was served for most of an hour, and the food on the table was almost untouched.
Xianglan was by the side and said uneasily: "Master, please use it more or less...if it hurts your body, the fifth master will feel guilty...I really heard from my servant that the fifth master is fine..."
Yi Fei nodded, picked up a small milk steamed bun, which tasted like wax. She choked on it, and then said bitterly: "These two are debt collectors. They will never have a peaceful life..."
"Five Fu Jin is gentle, and Jiu Fu Jin is careful. Both of them are virtuous people. With them following my brother, the master can rest assured..."
Xianglan continued to persuade.
Concubine Yi nodded.
After all, Wu Fujin is not a stupid person, and his life has turned around.
Where is Shushu...
Yifei's mood was a little subtle.
It’s not that I don’t like it.
She is a smart person herself, so she can naturally see that Shu Shu is also a smart person.
Acting in this way is thorough and complementary to her son. Even her talents are no worse than those of the Crown Princess and Da Fu Jin.
As the prince's elder brother, being mediocre is not a disadvantage.
Only by being well-behaved can you live in peace for a long time.
The same is true for Prince Fujin.
As she was thinking, she heard movement outside.
Brother Ninth has arrived.
Yifei immediately stood up and went to greet him: "How is your fifth brother's injury? Is he feeling better?"
Brother Jiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's better. My son went there at noon, and the imperial doctor was also there. There was no suppuration, and the healing was good..."
Concubine Yi stroked her chest: "Thank God!"
She breathed a sigh of relief and still asked: "How was your food? Did you sleep peacefully? Your fifth brother is most afraid of pain. How well does your sister-in-law take care of you?"
Brother Jiu said: "Everything looks fine, I haven't heard anything wrong..."
"Watching? Hearing?"
Concubine Yi stared at Brother Jiu, a little annoyed: "Why do you think you are a younger brother? Can't you be more considerate and take care of me more?"
Brother Ninth came in high spirits, but his expression was a little stiff now.
After a while, he nodded: "It was my son who was wrong..."
Concubine Yi saw his reluctance and was also annoyed: "Who are you showing off to? Are you getting more courageous and dare to hide everything from me? It's okay this time, it's a blessing from God. There is no danger to life, if there is an emergency..."
As she spoke, she also choked up.
After all, it was the flesh that had fallen off her body. Even if she forced herself to cheer up, her heart was already on fire.
Brother Jiu was a little unhappy at first, but now that he saw her crying, he ignored his own mood and persuaded her nicely: "Just because it's not life-threatening, I just want to wait until the wound is better in two days. Otherwise, what should I do?" What? Tell E Niang that it would be unreasonable to just hide it from the Queen Mother... But after telling everyone, the Queen Mother has grown up..."
Of course, Yi Fei also understood this truth, but she was still depressed and complained: "You are all grown up now, and you all have your own ideas..."
Brother Jiu was silent, suddenly feeling uninteresting.
Concubine Yi was still thinking about the fifth elder brother and continued to ask: "If your fifth elder brother stays tomorrow, what will happen to the two of them? If there is something that cannot be taken care of, it will be inconvenient for your fifth elder sister-in-law to be a woman. Go and tell the emperor." , and stay to take care of your fifth brother..."
This was not a discussion tone, but a direct order.
Brother Jiu looked at Yi Fei and was speechless for a while.
When Concubine Yi saw this, she became a little irritated: "You don't want to stay and take care of your fifth brother? Why? I have to go around every year, and earning respect by following the emperor is more important than taking care of your fifth brother?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not because of this..."
Yifei's face darkened and she said: "Why is that? For the tenth and thirteenth elder brothers? You have been a good elder brother, so why don't you show mercy and be a good younger brother for once... Your fifth brother is... When you need someone, how can you help if you don't help? How did your fifth brother treat you before?"
Brother Jiu couldn't bear to listen and stood up: "It's not that my son doesn't want to help, it's that his son has something to do..."
Disappointment appeared on Concubine Yi's face: "What kind of job? Are you trying to get money from the Mongolians in a different way? You haven't been like this before. Who did you learn this bad habit from?"
When Brother Jiu heard this, he was also angry with Shu Shu. He wanted to retaliate, but he was a little confused when he remembered Shu Shu's instructions.
The empress seemed to have become a stranger.
Maybe it's because I have never really understood the empress...
