Kangxi was not surprised, and felt like "it's finally here".
When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.
It is not normal for people who are greedy to give up money.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you already given me grace? What more grace do you ask for?"
Brother Jiu was not in a hurry to speak. He only smiled and shook the roll of paper in his hand: "How about you look at this first?"
Kangxi nodded, and Brother Ninth immediately rushed forward and spread out the three drawings on the Kang table.
"Look at these two, and then look at the last one. Do you see any difference?"
Brother Jiu was careful and asked respectfully.
Kangxi lowered his head and saw that the first two pictures were the construction drawings of Wangfu and Baylor Mansion Middle Road.
There are fixed regulations from the gate to the final room.
The third picture is the construction drawing of Beizi Fuzhong Road.
In fact, the final mansion was larger than the one on the drawings, but the court did not require the specifications for the cross-courtyard. Only the middle road had to be built according to the specifications.
Kangxi was noncommittal: "They're not all mansions, so what's the difference?"
Brother Jiu was a little anxious and said: "Take a closer look, these two are the fifth entry, and the ones behind are the fourth entry..."
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu: "I'm not blind, what on earth are you going to say?"
Brother Jiu took out another drawing from his sleeve: "Look at this one again..."
It is a simple diagram, with an empty frame on the left and two simplified diagrams of mansions on the right.
Kangxi was noncommittal, and the ninth elder brother had already made a gesture: "On the right is the Baylor Mansion of Bage and Fourth Brother. On the left is Lao Shi's mansion. I guess...it is regulated by the county prince's mansion. The son's mansion in the middle is too small. Is it appropriate? Everyone else is practicing at the fifth level, but here I am practicing at the fourth level, and the north and the south are not aligned!"
Kangxi was very speechless. He went around in such a big circle just to be verbose about this.
He said with a straight face: "This is easy to do, just change the residence! The Beizi Mansion in Yunduan is now vacant, isn't it just right?"
Yun Duan, the uncle of Ba Fujin and the legitimate son of Prince Anhe, was granted the title of Prince Qin in the 24th year of Kangxi. In the 29th year of Kangxi, he was demoted to Beizi. This year, Beizi was ousted and Beizi Mansion was vacated.
Brother Jiu was dumbfounded and murmured: "Khan Ama..."
He felt a little panicked.
Yunduan's Beizi Mansion is located on the boundary of Zhenglan Banner.
Could it be that Huang Ama wanted him to join the Zhenglan Banner?
It doesn't seem to be a surprise.
After all, the brothers above all entered the flag next to Xu Te.
The eldest child and the third child have blue flags, while the fourth, fifth and seventh children all have white flags.
When I arrived at Bage's place, it was the Zhenglan flag, and I was most likely to be the Zhenglan flag.
He thought about it before his wedding and didn't reject it. After all, Bage was there and he was relatively familiar with Prince Tong'an's palace.
But now, I remember that half of Zhenglan Banner's clan, Prince An's family, is in chaos. There are stories between mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and sisters-in-law.
If he lived there, wouldn't Shu Shu have to deal with them?
They still have seniority, so they will only favor the Eight Fortunes.
Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, my son has not made any achievements, and it is still ten or eight years before he can be crowned a knight. Why should he live in Beizi Mansion?! The name is not justified! What my son means is to become a prince first. We will live in the mansion first, and we will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs as soon as the supplies are provided. My son is still young... My eldest brother has been ennobled since his children have grown up. If my son is ennobled early, he will have to eat for himself. Isn't it a loss? "
Kangxi laughed at his fallacy and joked: "You really don't want a title? Then you won't have a salary!"
He was relieved in his heart.
These days, he was also thinking about the ennobling of the ninth and tenth princes.
According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the clan was granted fifteen titles.
The princes had never done this before.
It’s not that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother must follow this example.
But there were many people watching over Brother Ten.
The son of a noble concubine is different after all.
It makes no sense that all the princes above are in high positions, suppressing the tenth prince.
As Brother Jiu said, building a prince's mansion to live in first is also a way.
There is no need to lead him down, but he can build the prince's mansion for the tenth prince according to the regulations of the county king, so people outside will know what he is doing.
Brother Jiu said resolutely: "I don't want the title! After getting the salary, I will have to pay for food and clothing from my own pocket in the future. Isn't it even worse? But for things like the Imperial Mansion, the pawnshop, etc., Khan Ama, you can allocate two to your son and Lao Shi, you can’t let your sons eat soft food, right?”
He talked to Shu Shu and his wife several times about the knighthood, but they both felt that there was little hope.
Even if it is done reluctantly, it will not do any good if Khan Amma is not happy.
It's better to take a step back and let everyone feel comfortable.
Kangxi glared at him and said: "Why are you eating soft food? Isn't it provided by Yiying Palace? What else do you need money for?"
Brother Jiu said with a bitter face: "Khan Ama, you don't know that the exchange of favors is the big one. If I don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about brothers. I just gave a housewarming gift last month, and now I have to prepare for the New Year. Gifts, aren’t they all in silver? There are also more nephews and nieces every year. For this purpose, I, Fujin, specially ordered twenty sets of gold necklaces from a silver shop outside. I was afraid that I would be negligent and forget which one... …This is all supplemented by her dowry money, so why does her son become so stubborn..."
Kangxi felt a headache.
"You've paid off the debt, and I've also rewarded you with money. Why are you still crying about poverty? Isn't it time for the New Year's gift outside?"
When Brother Jiu heard about the New Year's gift, he thought of the gift list from Niu Hulu's family. He looked at Kangxi and frowned: "Khan Ama, what's going on over there at Aling'a? If you send two gold Ruyi, the past will be settled?" Then isn’t this son, the prince’s elder brother, looked down upon?”
Kangxi's face was a little gloomy and he said: "He is a first-class public servant with an annual salary of seven hundred taels. This is his annual salary for three years, which is not too small..."
Brother Jiu thought about it for a while.
It seems that these royal relatives of Shangsanqi are all Khan Amma’s confidants.
Khan Amma is not just old and ignorant, blindly protecting his shortcomings, but because he still has to worry about the clan of the Five Flags.
If he cuts off his arm and weakens the power of Shangsanqi, it will do more harm than good.
He reluctantly said: "Then we can't pass it by in such a daze. If we don't remember it, what will happen next time?"
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "What do you want?"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Cut the grass and root it out!"
Kangxi's face solidified.
Niu Hulu's family is the founding hero, and the current direct descendants are still the blood of Taizu.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and felt a little lucky.
Lao Jiu is not being petty, but he is too cruel!
What's going on? Do you have any grudges with the Niu Hulu family?
Brother Jiu saw that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "What my son meant, didn't they put all the blame on their family's eldest brother? Then they would be punished. They were not allowed to marry into the clan family, nor were they allowed to stay at home. They should be punished as soon as possible." Get married! Gone is the source of trouble!"
Otherwise, based on Niu Hulu's family status, Niu Hulu would definitely marry into the clan.
In that case, if you look up and don't see you when you look down, even if you are not qualified to bully Shu Shu, it will still be an eyesore.
Kangxi laughed angrily.
He wanted to know which bastard enlightened Brother Jiu in the first place. This is how the idiom is used?
However, Aling'a favored his wife and only wanted compensation and forgiveness, which was indeed too much.
Kangxi nodded and said, "Yes!"
Brother Jiu immediately smiled, rolled his eyes, stretched out his fingers and said: "When a girl gets older, she has to go out. Even if Gege from the Niu Hulu family doesn't marry into the clan, she will be assigned to a noble family in the Three Banners. This isn’t much of a punishment, it’s like a child playing house. No matter who is blamed, Aling and A’s lax management of the family cannot be ignored, don’t you think?”
Kangxi snorted: "You still want to punish Aling'a?"
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "First, if you can't teach your wife and daughter well, and second, if the prince is disrespectful, shouldn't he be punished? A son's honor comes from his birth. If he dares to neglect the prince, he is disrespectful to Khan Ama. Why? Can you spare him easily?"
Kangxi saw that he was holding back his bad temper and asked curiously: "How to punish him?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's not a punishment. The Niu Hulu family is not only a descendant, but also a family of the founders of the country. A few days ago, when Lao Shi had his first wedding ceremony, his son met Yin De's guard and looked at his appearance. He is dignified and has a decent character and behavior, but it is a pity to have served as a third-class guard for more than ten years..."
"He is also a hero. People outside don't know the inside story. They might even misunderstand that Khan Ama is suppressing their family..."
"My son just wants to recommend him. Let him jump out of the guard's office and make a long history for Lao Shi. If he doesn't take up the vacancy, others can't say anything..."
"We are close relatives again. I will be the general steward in front of Lao Shi, and I will be more careful than others..."
Kangxi did not nod, but looked at Brother Ninth and looked at him: "How long have you been thinking about this?"
Brother Jiu said proudly: "I really can't hide it from you. I've been serious for a while! My son is not a clay figure. Who doesn't have a temper? What's wrong?!"
Regarding the matter of Aling'a's eldest daughter, the ninth elder brother came up with it on a whim; but the recommendation of Yin De was considered after the tenth elder brother's initial engagement.
He felt that Khan Ama would not be happy for Lao Shi to take the initiative to get close to Niu Hulu's family.
Regarding this candidate for the long history, if Lao Shi mentions it, even if Khan Ama does not object, he will feel unhappy.
If he had mentioned it through Yao Zixiao's incident, there would be no such suspicion.
Kangxi had a straight face and had no intention of agreeing.
In fact, he was already thinking about this possibility,
Almost all of Niu Hulu's family was held in Aling'a's hands, suppressing his brothers until they were unable to resist.
The popularity that Faka had accumulated in his early years also fell to the bottom due to the deaths of his younger brother and sister-in-law.
A Ling A is the only one.
Brother Jiu supported Kangxi's arm and said: "Khan Ama, this is my son's request, will you accept it? You must let people know that your son is not easy to mess with, and he will retaliate, so that no one will dare to bully him in the future..."
Kangxi glanced at him angrily and said, "What kind of reputation does it have to be punished?"
Brother Jiu didn't like hearing it anymore, put down his hands, straightened his neck, and said angrily: "Who does it depend on? If you protect your son, don't always think about relatives and friendships, and help your son vent his anger, then your son will still be angry. Do you need to think about it yourself?"
But if Fanhan Ama shows more regard for himself and protects him like Shushu, Aling A dares to send people away with gold without even showing his face?
On the other hand, Lao Shi, are you really planning on not being knighted for ten years?
Khan Amma is so cruel.
There are still four matters...
Which company is involved?
Khan Amma is becoming more and more fond of fame. Will he downplay the big and trivial matters in order to cover it up?
Kangxi was unhappy when he saw that he fell out with him as soon as he said it, and wanted to reprimand him, but he saw that his face was full of stubbornness, his eyes were red, and he was crying.
Kangxi felt pain in his temples.
At this time, Liang Jiugong bowed in and said: "Your Majesty, the second altar dish is 'Fu Shou Xi'..."
