The west garden, the east place beside the pool.
This is the residence of the twelfth elder brother. Not only is he here now, but the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother are also there.
The twelfth elder brother did not speak, but his expression was much more relaxed, no longer the usual wooden and clay sculpture.
Brother Ninth stopped laughing and said with a straight face: "Anyway, it's your business to liven things up as you like. Don't let Fifth Brother worry about it, and don't bother fifth Sister-in-law! Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law have good tempers, and they will think about the dignity of their relatives. Or whatever, I won’t care about that. If your family is unsettled and you, Ama, can’t control your wife and brothers, why don’t you be a shitty chief of ceremonies? When the time comes, I will recommend new people to Fifth Brother. I don’t believe that Fifth Brother won’t do this to me. Decent…”

I dropped the previous chapter in the early morning, please don’t drop it, Xiaojiu is still working hard today. ^_
The youngest fifteenth brother swallowed his saliva and said with hope: "Sister-in-law Jiu must have thought of it. It will be very good and delicious."
When the mud shells outside are knocked, the lotus leaves also open, and the fragrance lingers.
The four of them shared the chicken.
The fourteenth elder brother and the fifteenth elder brother each had a chicken leg, and the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother each had a chicken wing with the breast meat attached.
The chicken used is about two kilograms, with the skin and internal organs removed, and it only weighs about one kilogram after cooking.
The meaning is still unfinished.

Forbidden City, Second Institute.
The couple were strolling in the yard.
Because this "rich chicken" was given to the four princes' elder brothers, it was sent to Dongsuo.
When Shu Shu asked the kitchen to make "Rich Chicken" in the afternoon, she asked what ingredients were in the kitchen today. She learned that there were fresh lamb chops and a pork knuckle, so she asked Xiaotang to try it too. .
Then for dinner, a piece of "Rich Chicken", a piece of braised lamb chops, and a piece of braised pork knuckle were given out to reward Nanny Qi and Eunuch Cui. The couple ate the rest.
Ninth Brother is a chicken wing, a chicken leg, a lamb chop, and two pieces of elbow meat.
Because the lamb chops were marinated in chili peppers and were very tasty, Shu Shu ate most of the remaining portion.
Due to the bitter summer, she had been eating light food for the past few months and her appetite had been reduced.
After eating too much all at once, I felt a little unbearable.
The couple made it through.
Brother Jiu took her out for a walk to eat.
As for the name "Rich and Guiji", Shu Shu didn't just "get" it by remembering the allusion of Qianlong, but it was figured out by Brother Jiu.
"Beggar's Chicken" is not elegant. When the couple was thinking of a new name, Brother Jiu thought of "Fu Shou Xi".
No matter how negligent he is on weekdays, he is the one who comes first, and at this time it is the brothers who come over.
I think the name of that dish is good, and it sounds like a good fortune.
This "beggar's chicken" can be named after that.
Before Shu Shu could think of anything appropriate, Brother Jiu had already blurted out "Rich Chicken".
According to him, whatever is missing will be made up for.
If the beggar comes up with something to eat, he will add wealth to it and call it "rich chicken".
"Our recipe is ordinary, just a novelty. If we can find a better recipe, we will call it 'Fairy Chicken'"
Brother Jiu is not greedy, but he still remembers his own restaurant: "I will serve this dish in the restaurant then..."
Shu Shu smiled and said, "Is this name too big a name?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's not possible now. After hearing the overbearing name, everyone's expectations are too high. The food they eat is only slightly better than the ordinary roast chicken, so naturally they won't be satisfied. If there is a good recipe, it will make people linger and make the fragrance better." Be more domineering, and then fill your stomach with delicacies and other delicacies, making it look like 'Fu Shou Xi' that you can't afford to eat, so you can call it 'Fairy Chicken'."
This time, the "Rich Chicken" also had something stuffed in its belly, namely watery shiitake mushrooms and magnolia slices.
A clay egg, which doesn't look amazing at all.
Shu Shu stood by and praised sincerely: "You are so awesome."
Self-taught, he understands the importance of product names and knows how to satisfy consumers' expectations.
Brother Jiu felt proud and said: "What's the point? It's fine if it's an ordinary chicken. If you eat it in your stomach, you won't lose money. But if you want to sell one chicken for the price of ten chickens, you have to pay for it." How come it is so exquisite..."
At this point, he added: "I'll also ask someone to make a copy of the ice powder recipe, ice bean curd, and mung bean jelly, and send it over later. That one is suitable outside right now."
Shu Shu nodded.
When he was about to go to bed, Brother Jiu remembered what happened to Wuya's family and told Shu Shu, "What on earth did Khan Ama think? The natal families of the concubines in the harem have almost been cleared away. What's left?" They are all insignificant errands, what are you guarding against?"
Shu Shu didn't answer.
What else can I guard against?
Beware of the prince's nephew's family, hook up with the prince, and do tricks in the dining room.
Maybe Kangxi hadn't thought about this level yet, but he was already worried about it.
But the princes and elder brothers were all convinced when they heard that it was the ninth elder brother who "respected" them.
"This is a good thing. I'm afraid there will be fewer people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future..."
Shu Shu said.
In the past, a daughter was sent to the palace. As long as she was favored and became a concubine, she could benefit the family. Who wouldn't want to give it a try?
What about now?
If a daughter enters the palace and is favored, the whole family will have to give up their official positions and retire to casual positions. This is a weighing issue.
There may still be people gambling on wealth, but there should be far fewer of them.
A thousand birds in the forest is worse than a bird in the hand.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said in a low voice: "It's really not necessarily true. Once the emperor and his courtiers, what if any emperor in the future will be so lustful that he becomes stupid? Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who 'hope that their girls will become phoenixes.'"
It's just gossip and it has nothing to do with them.
As a result, he was slapped in the face the next day.
We have all tasted the delicacies from the two restaurants and know they are good; since this is "yours truly", it is unmistakable.
The next day, Brother Jiu arrived at the House of Internal Affairs as usual, but was blocked by Gui Dan.
He is no longer the arrogant and domineering person he was before. He has lost a lot of weight and his energy is also sluggish.
Brother Jiu's eyes glanced at him. He didn't look like his parents were dead. How could he be so dead?
"Master Jiu, you have to help me."
Guidan said with a bitter face and pitifully.
"Huh? y."
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Help! I still owe you what I owe you. You have to help me when you open your mouth. Go away."
Gui Dan said hurriedly: "There is really no other way. Less than half a month has passed since the fourth and fifth uncles came to Beijing as a family, and there have been quite a few quarrels in the family."
Brother Jiu was still disapproving and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Guan? Beating a person's brain into a pig's brain is also your family's own housework."
Gui Dan didn't expect Brother Jiu to be so heartless. He didn't even ask the reason, and said: "Master Jiu, these are not outsiders, they are all close relatives of the queen."
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Brother Ninth must have sent several copies. He is thinking about us."
Brother Jiu looked at him coldly and said, "What's going on? Those who have been domineering in the name of the empress have gotten good jobs for so many years. Now that they have returned to their original form, can't you bear it?"
Guidan said in surprise: "You know?"
Brother Jiu sneered: "I'm not blind or deaf, so why don't you know?"
Actually I really don’t know.
Even if he wanted to have a hand in the personnel list, he would not take it seriously. He would just treat it as normal, and he did not expect that the emperor's father was weakening the power of the concubine's relatives.
But because of Brother Fourteen's question yesterday, he knew what was going on.
The fourth and fifth uncles of the Guo Luoluo family, thanks to Concubine Yi, are not of high rank, but they are all on errands. They actually went to Beijing with their whole family. In addition to losing their errands in Shengjing, what else can they do? explain.
San Guan Bao was not confused at all. He knew that after the death of Guo Guiren, there was a rift between E Niang's side and the second and third sons, which was difficult to resolve.
The fourth and fifth sons were concubines and were just outsiders before, so they were sent to the capital.
There is already a master of ceremonies at Fifth Brother's house.
He was self-aware and knew that if there were only two or three copies, it would not be their brother's turn, so the Queen Mother and the Prince were designated to be the first in line.
Are you targeting your own prince's palace?
Guidan murmured: "The fourth and fifth aunts wanted to go to the palace to pay their respects to the empress, but the empress had not summoned anyone. Even I, Enie, have not entered the palace in the past six months. The fourth and fifth aunts didn't believe it, so they just followed me. Make trouble, saying that I have selfish motives."
Brother Jiu heard the excitement and said, "Then why didn't you kick him out?"
Guidan glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "That is the house given to Mafa by the emperor, not Amma's private house."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "I forgot, you guys haven't separated yet, your Amma is really a filial son."
Guidan said sarcastically: "Ma and Fa don't separate families, and I, Amma, can't do anything about it."
Brother Jiu hummed and said: "Isn't this just the separation of the near and far? When you make a choice, you have to bear it. Don't try to get the best of both worlds. I am still like dough. What happened in Shengjing last year, I can't do anything about it. I remember clearly that I came to greet you in mourning clothes..."
Guidan felt aggrieved and said: "If you don't pay attention to them, you won't pay attention to them. Then why don't you even pay attention to the slaves?"
Brother Jiu sneered and said, "Isn't this because you are so good at treating me as your enemy? How dare I ignore you, let you get close to me, and then ask you to stab me twice?"
Gui Dan said hurriedly: "Is this slave the one who has no conscience? Not to mention that the affairs of the Jin family have nothing to do with me, even if they are related to me, it will not affect our friendship!"
Brother Thirteen nodded and said, "Brother Ninth has always been friendly."
Brother Jiu, however, knew that Guidan was afraid of power rather than virtue, and had a history of "fake the power of a tiger", so he said, "Anyway, you are protected by me, if you dare to use the guise of me or the fifth brother, If you are messing around outside, I will let you peel off the skin of your body and go back to your hometown in Shengjing!"
Gui Dan said with a bitter face: "I don't dare, the Fifth Master has already taught me a lesson."
Brother Jiu thought of his eldest aunt, still disgusted, and said: "You, Enie, are devoted to helping your mother's family. Why do you always count on the fifth brother and me? Then you can help yourself. Aren't you not engaged? Give her precious niece I can just hire you!"
Since she is a girl raised by someone who wants to climb high, her appearance should not be bad.
Otherwise, he would not be willing to spend money, so he was first sent to the second institute for alternatives, and then sent to Zhaoxiang Institute.
Guidan bared his teeth and said, "Master Jiu, you really love this slave."
The Jin family entered the Xinzheku criminal register. From now on, the men can only do the dirtiest and most tiring labor, and the women must also make up for the dirty and heavy labor.
Ordinary Baoyi families would not be happy to get married to such a family, let alone the Guo Luoluo family, a newly wealthy family that has raised its flag to Manchuria, and Gui Dan is the grandson of Guo Luoluo, the bodyguard, and the relative of the concubine. Nephew.
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "From now on, if you ever bother me about Ji Jin's family affairs, you will respond like this. How wonderful, it will directly fulfill her filial piety."
Guidan hurriedly shook his head and said: "I dare not say it. If slave Eni takes it seriously, then slave will fall into a trap."
