Brother Ninth was talking eloquently, and a bunch of little darlings were listening, with not even one replying.
The emperor has already been mentioned, how can he reply?
Brother Jiu smiled proudly.
At the front, he acts like an older brother and is good to his brothers; when things happen, he is also quite responsible, like a good steward; but what does that nonsense sentence in the back mean?
No wonder Dong Dianbang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down to plead guilty. People looked at him and mistook him for being scolded by Brother Nine.
Kangxi saw that Dong Dianbang was sweating on his forehead and looked frightened, so he said: "Don't be afraid. The Dong family is the Dong family, and the Dong family is the Dong family. I can tell them apart clearly. You should also be able to distinguish them clearly. Don't let your father and mother down." A master-servant relationship between the empress dowager..."
Dong Dianbang immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This slave's whole family is humble, and it is all thanks to the emperor's grace that he is what he is today. Only loyalty can repay the master, but with double intentions, the slave's children and grandchildren will wither and die short!"
Kangxi stretched out his hand and said: "Get up, no need to curse or swear. If I doubt you, I will send you out of the garden dining room as soon as possible. There is no need to mention Dong's matter again. From now on, you will do your best. If the family has a well-educated and well-behaved woman, You can also report it to the palace and learn the rules."
Dong Dianbang's face was filled with excitement, tears of gratitude, and choked with sobs: "I thank my master for his kindness, I must make a good choice."
Due to Dong's dismissal, the reputation of the Dong family was also implicated. Among them, the most affected ones were the daughters of the Dong family. Whether they were in the imperial court or those waiting to be married, they were all criticized.
However, Kangxi allowed the Dong family's daughter to enter the court again, making it difficult for others to question the Dong family's upbringing.
*
I've fallen out of fifty, so I'm asking for a guaranteed monthly pass.
It feels really good to be an older brother.
The fourth update is randomly dropped, everyone will watch tomorrow morning, ^_
Finally it was his turn to teach!
Several people were from different gentlemen and from different houses. They said hello and left.
The ninth elder brother rubbed the lunch boxes of the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother and started to eat breakfast.
The same dishes for both of them came from the Qianqing Palace Dining Room when they were in the palace, and they came from the Changchun Garden Dining Room here.
A piece of tiger skin pork elbow, a piece of fried eggplant box, a piece of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and a piece of fungus and rapeseed.
Not only does it look good, it also tastes good. It's much more refined than the warm-boiled dishes Jiu Age and the others had when they were in school.
Brother Jiu ate a piece of elbow skin, picked up some fungus with chopsticks, ate a two-color flower roll, a millet noodle steamed bun, and drank half a bowl of millet porridge.
The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince were still restrained at first, but when they saw the Ninth Prince putting down his chopsticks, they quickly ate the rest.
Moreover, among these people, except for the eldest brother of Yuqing Palace, who was mentioned by his birth mother and who valued his maternal family very much, the others didn't care at all.
Naturally, the food boxes in the imperial dining room would not keep the princes from not having enough to eat.
Each dish is served on an eight-inch plate, and the two pastry plates are also eight-inch.
This lunch box is enough for two adults.
After excluding the cat food that Brother Jiu had eaten, he ate most of the rest.
When Brother Jiu saw it, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why do you eat so much? Is this a way to maintain health?"
Brother Thirteen touched his belly and said with embarrassment, "I'm hungry very quickly. I'm afraid I won't have enough energy for a long time after eating too little."
To the northwest of Changchun Garden, directly north of the West Garden, is the Royal Horse Farm.
Now the brothers are studying in the garden, and the afternoon martial arts class has been moved to the racecourse.
The fourteenth elder brother also said with joy: "The afternoon of riding and shooting has been extended by half an hour. If I don't eat more, I won't be full."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "What does riding and shooting in the afternoon have to do with breakfast? There is still a meal at noon, so you can go so late! You can't eat like this in the future. Your stomach will be full. Eat less and more meals." This is a way to maintain health. What are you afraid of when you are hungry? Just ask Shen Zheng in the dining room to add another cake."
The fourteenth elder brother also nodded in agreement: "Ninth brother, you are absolutely right. My younger brother thinks so too. Our brothers are the princes of the Aixinjueluo family. Our birth and status are all given by Khan Ama. It's not During the Han Dynasty, princes were distinguished by their mother’s clan!”
Brother Thirteen hesitated and said: "It's inconvenient, this is Khan Amma's dining room."
If it were their brother's dining room, he would definitely be able to give any orders.
The fourteenth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother eagerly and said, "Ninth elder brother, go and tell us, we don't dare to say anything."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you the Fourteenth Master? Are you still afraid of the servants in the kitchen?"
The fourteenth elder brother said with a bitter face: "Who is afraid of them? I am afraid that Khan Ama will think we are extravagant."
"Huh? Asking for two plates of cakes is considered extravagant. Where did this nonsense come from? Those uncles in the imperial dining room wish that the floor tiles in their homes were paved with gold, and no one has ever heard of them being said to be extravagant..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll go say hello to the dining room. It's the first noon. Do you want to have some snacks too?"
The Thirteenth Brother said: "No, it's time for breakfast and dinner, and it will be connected again at noon..."
The fourteenth elder brother also said, "I don't need it in the first noon, but I'm hungry at night. Can I extend it until the evening?"
Brother Jiu himself learned from the past and said: "It can't be too late, but it must be in moderation. If you don't eat well at night, it will hurt your stomach... knife."
The Thirteenth Brother also nodded.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers both responded honestly.
Seeing that it was time for class, Brother Jiu didn't stay too long and came out of Wuyizhai.
He still returned the same way.
Halfway through, there was the front lake in the garden next to him. He stopped and sent He Yuzhu: "Go to the garden dining room and call the steward."
He Yuzhu went immediately.
Brother Jiu then ordered Sun Jin to say: "Pick the tender lotus leaves along the water's edge and pick seven or eight...forget it, more, twenty or thirty..."
Sun Jin looked at the lotus pond and said, "Master, just pick it next to the shore?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It saves trouble on the side. If you pick it from inside, you have to call a boat from the dock."
Sun Jin didn't tremble.
Anyway, for such a big lotus pond, any bald spot on the edge will be bald, and it will be full in a few days.
He has little contact with his maternal family.
He leaned forward and picked lotus leaves along the lake.
By the time the kitchen steward followed He Yuzhu over from the garden, Sun Jin had almost finished picking.
The lotus leaves chosen should be both tender and large, usually over one and a half feet.
The kitchen steward looked at the bald lotus pond and did not dare to ask any more questions. He bowed and said, "Dong Dianbang, the kitchen steward of the slave garden, has met Master Jiu..."
"who?"
Brother Jiu glanced at the person who came. He was wearing a blue uniform that was not old. He was in his forties, had a Chinese character face, and looked good. "Does it have the same name? He has the same name as Dong Concubine... Well, he is a cousin of the Dong Palace woman's family. Son……"
The man's face showed embarrassment and said: "She is a slave, and the Dong Palace woman is the aunt of the slave hall."
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Why do you remember that you were in the Accounting Department first?"
Dong Dianbang said: "This slave was indeed in the Accounting Department before and was transferred to the Garden Dining Room on May 20th."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's actually true."
The twelfth elder brother remained silent, but looked at the ninth elder brother with admiration in his eyes.
Not only were the concubines and concubines in the imperial dining room purged of their natal family influence, but they were also transferred from other yamen.
Brother Jiu then ordered: "The summer is long, and now the brothers are practicing riding and shooting, which also consumes energy. From now on, I will have a snack before Shen Zheng in the afternoon, and a small snack before Xu Zheng in the evening. Don't be too old." It’s the same, make a water sign and let the brothers take turns eating..."
Dong Dianbang bowed and responded.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and then said: "The companion reading center will also follow this example."
Dong Dianbang responded again.
Brother Jiu is a person who doesn't like to trouble others, and he really wants to say something. If the examples are not enough, it will be his fault.
But he knew he couldn't do that, he was the prince's grandson.
That’s not how favors work.
He said: "According to this supply, the accounts will be calculated at the end of the month. If the daily necessities of my brother and my companions are not enough, we will make adjustments as appropriate."
Dong Dianbang did not dare to respond and said hurriedly: "Master Jiu, this is a rule set in the early years. It is not allowed for slaves to add or subtract..."
He does have contacts with his maternal family, and he can use whatever relatives can use, but respect and inferiority are irreversible.
When working in front of the emperor, you should be cautious no matter how cautious you are.
"According to the rules" is also a rule that you have to remind yourself to abide by again and again.
Brother Jiu said cheerfully: "When the time comes, you will report the accounts and I will go to the emperor to ask for the order."
Dong Dianbang then bowed and responded.
After talking about official matters, Brother Ninth hesitated for a moment and said, "What does your family think about the dismissal of the Dong Palace woman? Is there anyone with resentment in their hearts?"
Dong Dianbang was startled, and knelt down with a bang, saying: "My whole family has been favored by the emperor. My aunt has lost her virtue and lost the honor of the royal family. She should have been punished, but she was lenient. The whole family can only be grateful and ashamed..."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "It's good to know this. Khan Amma is indeed tolerant."
"Okay, let's get up!"
He waved his hand and turned to leave.
He Yuzhu and Sun Jin each held an armful of lotus leaves and followed behind.
Brother Jiu is very open-mouthed, but if he can still explain himself, there is nothing to worry about.
The guards and horses were waiting outside Xiaodong Gate.
But Brother Jiu thought for a while and still didn't go through Xiaodongmen.
It's too close to Qingxi Bookstore.
He walked through Dadongmen.
He Yuzhu ran errands and called the guards over before they returned to the city.
How could the movements in the garden be hidden from Yu Qian?
By noon, Kangxi received various news one after another.
First, Wu Yizhai, Brother Jiu's "relative theory" is a bit straightforward, but the truth is correct.
Kangxi was quite satisfied.
When he found out that the lotus leaves in the front pond were harmed, making the lotus pond bald, he frowned a little.
The fifteenth brother’s eyes were filled with admiration.
But eaters are soft-mouthed and pickers are short-handed. He thought that the "revelation dish" in the afternoon should be related to lotus leaves.
Lotus leaves are cool in nature and have some effects in dissipating heat and dispelling heat. I don’t know how to use it in vegetables.
Thinking this way, Kangxi's expression relaxed.
When he heard that the ninth elder brother had reprimanded the leader of the Yuanshan House, Kangxi was not annoyed. He only asked Liang Jiugong, "How did Dong Dianbang recruit the ninth elder brother?"
Liang Jiugong bowed and said: "I don't know, I have never heard that Master Jiu has dealt with Lord Dong."
Kangxi was a little curious.
Brother Ninth is usually very close to the people around him, but this is the first time he has been so close to others.
"Send Dong Dianbang to come over."
He was just curious and wanted to ask why.
When Dong Dianbang came over and explained the reason cautiously, Kangxi's expression did not change, but he felt helpless in his heart.
