Qi Xi and his son came out of Sibeile Mansion. They did not leave immediately. Instead, they were led westward by Brother Jiu.
After passing the Babele Mansion, we arrived at the official residence.
"This is where the prince's residence will be for me and my 10th prince..."
Brother Jiu stopped, looked at the place reserved by the two mansions, and pointed it to Qi Xi, but he was a little less excited.
Who knows that it is next to Babel Mansion.
It seems that there is less expectation for moving.
Brother Jiu quietly observed his father-in-law's reaction and saw Qi Xi looking thoughtfully in the direction of Babele Mansion.
Brother Jiu quickly pointed to the place next to the Babele Mansion and said: "This place will be rich after the construction of the Prince's Mansion. What my son-in-law wants is to directly build a garden on this vacant land and occupy it first, so as not to expand it later." place……"
Let’s talk about the next thing later.
Right now, it’s a good idea to separate the Babel Mansion from the garden with a garden, right?
Qi Xi didn't say anything.
Fusong walked around in a circle, thoughtfully, and said: "The number of steps from east to west is about the same as that of the two Baylor Mansions. Those two Baylor Mansions should also have enclosed a lot of land, leaving room for expansion."
In this way, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother surrounded the land, and it was not so eye-catching.
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother blinked his eyes and said to the tenth elder brother: "Brothers Huang Ama have all been granted the title of prince, so there is no reason why my son should be inferior!"
Did the brothers all know this and unanimously reserved space for expansion?
The tenth prince smiled and said nothing.
no the same.
When the emperor's father granted him the title of brother, the royal family was weak at that time. The young emperor and the princes under the Five Banners were powerful, so it would be good to have a few more princes of Heshuo to check and balance the distant clan clan.
It's different now.
There are too many princes.
They are all princes and princes, and this salary is a huge expense.
It should still be graded.
Brother Jiu told Fusong: "I sent someone to the Ministry of Works to ask about the date for the start of construction. They said that the Spring Equinox on the 18th is an auspicious day. The construction of the two princes' mansions will start on the same day. Then you will follow Mr. Yin De and watch here. …”
Fusong said solemnly, "Yes, I have written it down."
Qi Xi looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Brother, has there been any letter from Fujin in the past two days?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I guess it's on the way. I'll write a letter tonight to urge you."
He said this, but in fact he believed what the tenth prince said in his heart.
Shu Shu has always acted thoughtfully, so he probably restrained himself from writing letters to himself because he didn't have many channels through the Ministry of War.
What can you think of...
When Qi Xi and his son left and the ninth elder brother followed the tenth elder brother back to the palace, he had not made up his mind.
I should go to the imperial court more often to deliver the instructions for peace of mind.
Afterwards, he would send more official documents to Ma Qi and Gao Yanzhong.
It's all business.
Then what?
It would be outrageous for Gao Yanzhong to include Shu Shu's reply in his reply.
The tenth brother saw that he was worried. When he realized it, he began to feel uncomfortable about today's events, and said: "Ninth brother, don't feel too sad. If you feel depressed, you can mention it in the greeting package."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu stopped, glanced at him, and said, "Do you suspect...that there is a meaning of Bago in it?"
Brother Ten looked at him and said, "Brother Ninth is not suspicious at all?"
The ninth elder brother pretended to be ignorant again and again, and the tenth elder brother also indulged in it before.
But right now he didn't want to defend his eighth prince.
This is so disgusting.
Brother Jiu closed his mouth and his heart sank.
Neither brother spoke a word for the rest of the way.
When they arrived at the door of the second house, the ninth elder brother looked at the tenth elder brother and sighed: "I never expected that I and the eighth elder brother would be able to get to where they are today. It was not a big deal, but because of Ba Fujin's interference, the two elder brothers The consequences of being suspicious..."
When he said this, his voice became deeper.
The tenth elder brother advised: "Every banquet in the world must come to an end, but don't feel bad, ninth brother. My brother's side will definitely remain unchanged, and we will be fine in the future."
Brother Jiu immediately raised his fist and said: "If you dare to change, I will give you a few beatings first! I can't beat you as an elder brother, but you can't beat me as a younger brother? Oh, it's really annoying. Please live your life quickly, and then you guys It’s sweet, I’m also going to find your sister-in-law, sweet…”
Brother Ten smiled and nodded, saying, "Sister-in-law Ninth will definitely be happy then."
The two brothers said goodbye, and the ninth elder brother returned to his elder brother's house with a sad expression on his face.
He Yuzhu followed beside him and felt sour when he saw that his master was about to burst into tears.
Who would have thought that our love would end up today?
Even last year, when his master wanted to accuse Fujin, he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he was worried about the eighth prince's marriage.
I'm afraid that if something is not thorough, it will hurt the Eighth Prince's dignity.
Brother Jiu sat down on the desk and picked up paper and pen, but his wrists were sore and he still didn't write a word.
"Pop", the ink dripped and stained the page.
Brother Jiu thought of Shu Shu's words, as long as this thing is done, there will be traces.
Don't do bad things.
Otherwise, no matter how much you try to cover up and save, it will be like a dirty piece of white paper that cannot be restored to its original state.
Bage, does he know this?
Or is he just a fool in his heart, and even if he is tricked, he will still be persuaded by his few words?
Brother Jiu crumpled the paper and threw it into the wastebasket.
He was very disappointed.
There was a moment in my mind that I wanted to write it into the greeting note.
But thinking about old feelings, my heart softened.
Forget it this time.
Because of Ba Fujin, Ba Age's situation in the imperial court has worsened in the past six months. Even if he has resentment in his heart, he should not add insult to injury at this time.
Brother Jiu missed Shu Shu more and more, and he was full of grievances and wanted to find someone to talk to.
He started from the letter sent by the eighth prince before he left, and wrote about the reaction of the tenth prince and his own response.
As a result, the second letter came today, and then what happened...
The last few pages were scrawled, showing his inner turmoil.
The previous letters were about ten pages, but this time there were about twenty pages, stuffed into a bulging envelope.
After writing the letter, Brother Jiu's depression dissipated a lot.
As Shu Shu said, the brothers were a family before, but after they started their own families, they were divided into small families.
I will send a letter to the Ministry of War tomorrow morning. When can I arrive at the southern patrol team?
Two days?
Three days?
By fifteen, Brother Ninth had the answer, it should be three days.
Because he received Shu Shu’s letter.
The couple have a good rapport.
His letter to Shu Shu was thick, and Shu Shu's letter to him was also thick.
Like a diary, he wrote some of his experiences during his southern tour, and also mentioned Mrs. Yan Shenggong.
The letter was signed and dated twelfth night.
That is, on the morning of the 13th, someone was sent to deliver a letter to the doctor of the Ministry of War.
On the afternoon of the 15th, Brother Jiu received Shu Shu’s letter.
Brother Jiu calculated it and felt that it was delayed on the way and it was still too slow.
Didn't it mean that the Ministry of War's chariot and Sima Di could travel six hundred miles a day and night at the fastest?
During the San Francisco Rebellion, the northwest was five thousand miles away from the capital, and the battle report could be reached within nine days.
Calculating the location of the Holy Master, the waterway is more than a thousand miles and the land route is only about 800 miles. How come it only took three days to travel?
Could it be that due to non-wartime reasons, the driving speed of Sima Di has dropped? It is not a 600-mile rush, but a 400-mile rush?

Yangjiayuan, the mooring place of the imperial boat.
Today, the Governor of Water Transport Sang'e and the Governor of River Channels Yu Chenglong came to court.
The Governor's Office for Water Transport and the Governor's Office for River Channels are both located in Huai'an Prefecture.
Now the waterway is right next to Huai'an Mansion.
The two governor's wives also came to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
Shu Shu, Wu Fujin and Jiu Gege still gathered together, but they were not as solemn as last time and were much more comfortable.
Because these two people were both bannermen, they also went to the palace to pay greetings to the Queen Mother in their early years.
The two imperial officers looked ordinary, both in their fifties.
But the husbands of these two are people that Shu Shu pays more attention to.
The former Sang'e was a senior governor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was born in Baoyi. He once took over Jiangning Weaving after Cao Xi's death. When Cao Yin took office, he was promoted to governor of Huguang, then governor of Shandong, and then governor of Water Transport. He was an official born in Baoyi. One of the highest middle grades.
This person was also Kangxi's confidant, otherwise he would not be placed on water transportation.
The water transport yamen has water soldiers.
There are more than 3,000 people under the governor's command, and the total number of soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction is more than 20,000 people.
Yu Chenglong, another river governor, is also known as "Less Than Jackie Chan" by the world.
Because there was a man named Jackie Chan who passed away as the governor of Liangjiang more than ten years ago.
Both younger and younger than Jackie Chan, they are all world-famous upright officials and capable ministers.
It seemed that the Queen Mother and Mrs. Sang'e were familiar with each other. She asked them to sit down and said kindly: "Have you been in Huai'an these past few years? Have you not returned to Beijing?"
Mrs. Sang'e said: "I went back once during the Double Ninth Festival last year, and the servant's little boy got a wife."
The Queen Mother said: "Whose child is mentioned? Is it also a member of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Mrs. Sang'e nodded and said: "The daughter of the Ma family in Zhengbai Banner, the inner palace. Their great-grandfather was our grandfather's colleague in the early years, and she is also an old relative of our family."
The Queen Mother looked at Mrs. Sang'e with a kind expression, nodded and said: "It's good for people who know everything."
She looked at Mrs. Yu again and said, "I remember your family raised the flag last year?"
Mrs. Yu stood up and said respectfully: "In February last year, because of my husband's contribution in transporting grain, the emperor showed favor and sent the slave family to carry the flag from the Han Army with a red flag to the Han Army with a yellow flag. He also gave him a gift in Sidaoying Hutong. Enter the house five times.”
The Queen Mother was not familiar with the city, but when she heard about the boundaries of Xianghuang Banner, she looked at Shu Shu and asked, "I vaguely remember whether the fourth elder brother or the eighth elder brother lived in Xianghuang Banner..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Both Baylor's residences are decorated with yellow flags, and they are located in Wudaoying, right on the front and rear streets of Madam Yu's house."
I never expected that I would have such neighbors in the future.
This is a family whose name will go down in history.
Shu Shu admired him from the bottom of his heart.
After serving tea to see off the guests, the Queen Mother talked to them about Sang Fore.
"It's the haha pearl next to the emperor. This lady is no one else. She is the sister of the emperor's nanny, Grandma Sun..."
Wufujin and Jiugege didn't feel anything.
The Eight Banners are clearly divided within themselves.
Everyone hugs each other.
This is the case between the upper three flags and the lower five flags.
Inside the Upper Three Banners, there is also a wrapped Three Banners, which is also self-contained.
Shu Shu's ears were pricked.
Grandma Sun’s sister?
Cao Yin's aunt?
Is Sang'e Cao Yin's uncle?
Are the Zhengbaiqi Ma family of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who are related to the Sang'e family, and the Ma family of Cao Yongyue's family, the same family?
