After much hard work, Brother Jiu finally got Kangxi's handwriting.
He smiled brightly, put it away carefully, and said: "Khan Ama, you are busy first..."
Kangxi looked at him, frowned and said, "What are you busy with?"
Brother Ninth said: "My son, go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask my great-aunt and second sister if their carriage is ready. My great-aunt is used to being at ease, so she may be impatient to live in the palace."
In the past few days, I was waiting to recognize my relatives before temporarily staying in Ningshou Palace.
I went to Ningshou Palace today to pay my respects, and my niece, grandson, and daughter-in-law have also met. The eldest princess is probably going to leave the palace.
Kangxi's expression softened a little, and he said thoughtfully: "The eldest princess has a distinguished status. She is the daughter of Emperor Taizong. She is still living in the imperial court. She should be gracious and provide all the supplies, all of which will be supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Brother Jiu lowered his hands and listened, and said: "Khan Ama, what are the rules for my aunt to provide?"
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "It is an increase of 50% compared to that of a concubine."
Brother Jiu remembered it and said, "Second sister's place..."
Kangxi said: "Follow the regulations of the eldest brother and the third brother last year."
Previously, there were only princes and grandsons in the palace. Last year, the eldest elder brother and the third elder brother were granted the title of county queen, and the supply of them has also increased a lot.
Brother Jiu had no more questions and retreated from Qianqing Palace.
When he went out, Kangxi and Liang Jiugong complained: "I have learned to be petty, and I thought I learned to do business first. What happened? It's just for the glory of the face, and it's for the money. I came to the lake to make me come..."
Liang Jiugong didn't know how to answer the call. Brother Jiu has been really embarrassed these days.
Five hundred thousand taels of silver were polished off as soon as they were told!
What kind of plan is it to make a fortune? Let’s not even try to give him a try!
But thinking about the little card of "Every day makes money," Liang Jiugong still said: "Master Jiu is an errand after all. He has learned to be tactful..."
Kangxi smiled and nodded: "Yes, he knows how to beat around the bush, and no longer says what he wants straight to the point; he is still very impatient, which really gives him an advantage..."
*
After coming out of Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
Just stay safe!
Even if I want to add more later, it won’t work!
As for moving, let's wait until Concubine Tong finishes moving the palace on the 21st.
He had a plan in his mind and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
He asked someone to inform Gao Yanzhong, first telling him about the carriage of the eldest princess and Princess Rongxian, and then asked him to take Kangxi's handwriting to the inner treasury to withdraw money.
Gao Yanzhong did not leave immediately, but hesitated and said: "Master, take out this silver, where will you send it?"
This is not five hundred taels or five thousand taels, but five hundred thousand taels!
Thirty-one thousand two hundred and fifty pounds.
Even if a large cart is pulled, a large cart weighing more than 1,000 kilograms will have to be pulled more than 30 times.
If they were piled there, it would probably take up half a room.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and found himself in a bit of a dilemma.
It was transported to the palace, not to mention eye-catching, but it would have to be moved again when the time comes.
He thought for a while and said: "In the spring, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will distribute the property to the princes. If there are any money banks, they will be sent to my bank and the money will be issued. You can give it directly to Gao Bin later."
Gao Yanzhong almost stumbled after hearing this.
Isn't Brother Jiu's employment too casual?
Gao Bin just took away 100,000 taels of banknotes a few days ago, does he still have any more this time?
Six hundred thousand taels of silver, for a half-year-old child to buy, Gao Yanzhong is worried.
Brother Jiu looked at him and said with a smile: "You are too timid. Neither I nor Gao Bin are afraid. What are you afraid of?"
Gao Yanzhong bowed and said: "I am afraid that Gao Bin will not live up to expectations and delay Master Jiu's arrangements."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "To live up to expectations means to live up to expectations, and to live up to expectations means to live up to expectations. When it comes to my hands, the children will act like adults, and the adults will act like donkeys. Anyway, don't be idle..."
Gao Yanzhong sneered, then he would really get busy.
The person sitting in the office today is He Yi.
Knowing that Brother Jiu was coming, he came over to greet him before going back.
But after returning to his own check-in room, his expression became heavy.
The prince sent someone to Yuqing Palace the day before yesterday, and he went there honestly.
As a result, the prince ordered to keep an eye on Brother Jiu...
What is this thing called? !
Since the first month of the year when he was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Ninth has treated him politely and with utmost benevolence.
He also sympathized with him and asked him to be responsible for the supply of Yuqing Palace.
It can be seen that the ninth elder brother is good to both the Hesheli family and Yuqing Palace, and has no intention of causing evil.
When the prince mentioned this matter before, he also praised Brother Jiu for being thoughtful. Why did he change his tune now?
You know, the ninth elder brother is not just the ninth elder brother, he is the elder brother of Yikun Palace, there is also an elder brother from the same mother, a younger brother from the same mother, and the tenth elder brother who is like a twin.
If this happens, Ningshou Palace and the Niu Hulu family will also be involved.
He Yi didn't want to obey, but it was the prince's order.
The emperor promoted him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs just to serve the prince.
He could only tell the commander to follow him: "Keep an eye on Gao Yanzhong..."
Everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knows that both Gao Yanzhong and Zhang Baozhu belong to Ninth Prince.
One of them is in charge of the outside world and the other is in charge of the inside. They act very thoughtfully.
Just now when he went to pay his respects to Brother Nine, he happened to meet Gao Yanzhong...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The atmosphere in the room is no longer as relaxed as before.
Kangxi looked at the folded page in his hand, with a gloomy face, and looked at Zhao Chang: "Who is Shuertuku? Why is the land bought by the prince in his name?"
Is there such a person among the subordinate officials of Zhan Shifu?
Kangxi wondered if he was getting old?
It was obvious that he was referring to the people in James's house, but he had no impression at all.
Zhao Chang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is Li Gege's father..."
Kangxi's face became increasingly ugly.
At that time, the friction between Yuqing Palace and Brother Jiu was ended by the Crown Princess, who took advantage of several private properties that the Crown Prince provided as subsidies to the Li family.
Is this taking four small properties and putting them back into two big ones? !
He was so blind that he did not expect that the prince was prepared for the Aktun brothers, and he only thought it was to supplement the concubines.
The total private treasury was less than 200,000 taels, but he took 100,000 taels to buy property for my concubine?
Is this "return to the palace punishment"?
Kangxi felt heartbroken.
The serious Yue family didn't see him getting close to him, but they regarded the concubine's natal family as their in-laws, so they trusted her.
Finally, he knows how to save face and ask people to buy more in private. Otherwise, it will be a big joke if it is revealed.
If a brother asks for help, he only gets fifty thousand taels; if he wants to appease his little wife, he gets one hundred thousand taels.
Brother Jiu was also worried about the amount of money and the embarrassment of Yuqing Palace, so he hid everyone's share.
If he knew the whereabouts of the prince's one hundred thousand taels of silver, he would be careful to note it.
Kangxi was a little worried about the Crown Princess and said, "How is Mrs. Li doing now? Can she treat the Crown Princess respectfully?"
Zhao Chang bowed and said: "Li Gege lives in Xiefang Hall now..."
Because Yuqing Palace was narrow and the prince was getting older, there were more and more involutions, so he pointed to the Jiefang Hall in the southeast of Yuqing Palace to house the prince's involutions.
Kangxi couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
What is this called?
Although Li's share has been reduced, she is still the first person under the crown prince, and she does not live in the same place, so she has the tendency to fight in separate courts.
He was a little tired and rubbed his forehead.
He had already told the prince that he didn't like Li's mother and son, but the prince still favored them.
Could it be that what this old Ama said just fell on deaf ears?
Kangxi felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
He looked at Zhao Chang and said: "Okay, this matter ends here..."
Previously, he was worried that the prince's resources were tight, and he hesitated whether to spend another 150,000 taels of silver so that the prince's share would be equal to that of his eldest brother.
For now, forget it.
The prince has his own little family and protects his own little family...
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong and said: "Bring over the list of newly made jewelry made by the inner manufacturing office in the past few months..."
Nowadays, the techniques of blue-burning and red-burning are becoming more and more mature.
Others have mixed other colors.
All the finished jewelry is filed in the inner treasury.
After a while, Liang Jiugong came over with a jewelry booklet.
There are shadows on it, and the geometry of the material and the weight of the gold are recorded below.
This is to select rewards for the concubines in the Tomorrow Book.
Kangxi read it over, picked out a few items, and asked Liang Jiugong to write them down.
"Burn the red Ruyi tile for Guarjia, burn the blue Ji tile for Wei Bin, and burn the red An tile for Zhang Bin..."
The emperor's reward will definitely not be just the same reward. Jewelry, ornaments, clothing materials, gold and silver, all have a certain amount.
Today, this is an extra reward.
Thinking that next year would be Concubine Rong's birthday, Kangxi said: "This red-burnt five-blessing bracelet is for Concubine Rong, the blue-burnt eighteen-child bracelet is for Concubine De, and the red-hot lotus gold purse is for Concubine Yi. , the burnt blue word "Fu" is used to reward Concubine Hui..."
The four concubines thought of it, and Kangxi pondered for a moment, turned back a few pages, and said: "This red-hot pomegranate earring is a reward for the noble king..."
After saying that, he closed the jewelry book.
Liang Jiugong took the booklet and was about to turn around and leave.
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Take it back and I will choose another one..."
Liang Jiugong had nothing to say and handed it back respectfully.
Kangxi looked through the front page, pondered for a moment, pointed at one item and said, "That's it, the red auspicious cloud Ruyi lock."
Liang Jiugong went down.
Kangxi glanced in the direction of Yongshou Palace.
After all, they are the Tong family, closely related by blood.
You don't have to be close, but you can't be ignored either.
That'll be fine.
Having learned from the past, he will never allow his relatives to interfere in palace affairs again...
*
That afternoon, Liang Jiugong was like a butterfly, running to the East Sixth Palace, then to the West Sixth Palace; after finishing the West Sixth Palace, he came to the East Sixth Palace again.
Who knows the rules in this palace? Order is the most important.
The first place is the Yanxi Palace in the East Sixth Palace.
The second place is Yikun Palace in the West Sixth Palace.
The third place is Yonghe Palace in the East Sixth Palace.
The fourth place is Zhongcui Palace in the East Sixth Palace.
The fifth place is Jingren Palace in the East Sixth Palace.
The sixth place is Qixiang Palace in the West Sixth Palace.
The seventh place is Chuxiu Palace in the West Sixth Palace.
The eighth place is Qixiang Palace in the West Sixth Palace.
The ninth place is Yonghe Palace in the East Sixth Palace.
As for running around the East Sixth Palace first and then going to the West Sixth Palace, there is no such rule.
Even though I went to Qixiang Palace and Yonghe Palace twice, I didn't even say that I was sent to the same palace.
Unhappy and along with it.
After a while, Liang Jiugong felt that his legs were getting thinner.
However, this half-day reward is equivalent to his annual salary for several years.
hey-hey!
Liang Jiugong couldn't help but touch his sleeve pocket, where the gold medal "Every day makes money" was placed.
Don't tell me, it's really a good sign...
