The next day, Brother Jiu woke up early.
It's still dark outside.
He freshened up briefly and got up.
In the study, most of the things have been packed away. Only the bedding and curtains in the bedroom have not been packed.
It will also be packed next.
He Yuzhu held the lamp, and Brother Jiu followed behind, and the two of them left the second house.
At the door of the second house, the tenth prince was already waiting.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was drooping and no longer as lively as before, the tenth elder brother sighed inwardly.
Ninth Brother is afraid that he will feel uncomfortable moving. Moving is not a completely happy thing for him, right?
The ninth elder brother had already grinded his teeth and said to the tenth elder brother: "What's the use of having children? They will all be separated one day."
He feels uncomfortable now, not because he is a son, but because he thinks about the time when he will be an Ama and his children will leave.
The tenth elder brother laughed and said: "Isn't it the case for families to multiply and spread their branches and leaves?"
Brother Jiu whispered: "I don't ask for anything else. I just hope that long live Khan Ama and let me be the prince for the rest of my life. I don't want to be the king's younger brother, nor do I want to be the king's uncle..."
The tenth prince thought he was worried about Yuqing Palace, his expression remained unchanged, but he was worried.
The prince was respected since he was a child. He has an arrogant temperament and is not a generous person.
He and I are not against each other, but Brother Jiu has come here once or twice, so there is no guarantee that Yuqing Palace will not hold a grudge.
Isn't Brother Ninth anxious because of this?
Brother Jiu continued to ramble and said, "Prince, following the example of a prince, this is great and decent."
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, anyway, the emperor is close to Amma.
Now that I have become Wang's brother or Wang's uncle, no one can tolerate me anymore.
The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth elder brother is so capable, he will be promoted to prince in the future."
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Don't worry if you can't do it. Whether it's your son or your relatives, Khan Ama knows it well!"
As the two brothers talked, they arrived in front of Qianqing Palace.
The lights in Xinuan Pavilion have been turned on.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other. The two brothers stopped gossiping and stepped forward to tell the eunuch on duty to pass the news.
In the Xinuan Pavilion, Kangxi had just cleansed his face. Hearing the eunuch's words, he nodded and said, "Pass it on!"
I thought Brother Jiu was going to mess with him to the end, "kill first, tell later" and moved quickly before coming back, but he didn't expect that he would come here.
After a while, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother followed the eunuch in.
Seeing Kangxi sitting on the kang wearing a new and old sapphire blue uniform, his eyebrows were furrowed and he had a Sichuan pattern. He had lost a lot of weight due to the Northern Patrol, and his face had not turned pale yet, as if he was old. Several years old.
The ninth elder brother's heart softened, and he pulled the tenth elder brother to kneel down and kowtowed three times respectfully.
Even if you are not familiar with it and are biased, what can you do?
There is only this dry Amma.
The first time he became a son, he felt confused; he had been an amma for so many times, but no one taught him.
I am not angry with him anymore...
When my eldest brother is born, I will prepare him by myself.
The tenth elder brother was beside him, following the ninth elder brother's actions, and his heart felt astringent.
Kangxi took a long breath, swallowed the words of reprimand when they came to his lips.
As a parent, you wish you had your children under your wings for the rest of your life, but the chicks always have to leave the nest.
He snorted softly and said, "Get up. Is everything in order in the mansion?"
Brother Jiu looked hesitant after hearing this.
Brother Ten was standing by, looking at him and not knowing how to answer.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "We haven't packed everything properly. What are you doing in a hurry?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "It's okay to change one courtyard to another. I just thought that there were not enough eunuchs last night, so I thought I would ask someone to go to the minister's room to say something in a few days."
As he said that, he looked at Brother Ten and said, "Old Ten, where are you?"
Brother Ten said: "I asked the superintendent yesterday. The number of people leaving the palace in the third palace is more than that in the second palace. However, there are not enough eunuchs, so we need to add more..."
Brother Jiu said again: "One more thing, the servants in the palace are not on the palace register, so the daily quota is a big expense for food, drink and clothing. When I was in the palace before, it was all covered. Does this also need to be guaranteed for several years?"
Kangxi rolled his eyes. After calculating the economic accounts, he understood again.
He hummed softly: "What do you think?"
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't my son ask someone to review the general ledger of the expenses of the second office in the past six months? Then we will supply according to the headcount of the old brother's office. If there are more people in charge in the future and exceed this number, we will also If you don’t take advantage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the rest is yours.”
Kangxi was not angry and said: "You still know that you are taking advantage? Stop being so fussy, let's go back to the personnel arrangements and ask someone to submit the roster of the government to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
This is what all-inclusive means.
Brother Jiu responded in a crisp voice: "My son obeys Khan Ama's instructions!"
Seeing that he was heartless and lively again, Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, but his palms also felt itchy.
However, considering that today was the day for him to leave the palace, Kangxi restrained himself a lot and still hoped that his father would be kind and his son would be filial.
He looked at the tenth prince and said: "I pointed out Bose to you as a long history."
Brother Ten was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Thank you Khan Amma for your grace."
This is also the direct descendant of the Niu Hulu family. If you really want to say it, the title of the Aling'a branch was transferred to this branch.
Brother Ninth was nearby, a little unhappy.
"Khan Ama, why are you from the Niu Hulu family again? Don't act like an elder in front of Lao Shi when the time comes, right?"
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, it won't be enough!"
It’s really a matter of course.
Bose accompanied them all the way, and he didn't even remember Bose's identity and seniority.
The tenth elder brother was standing by and reminded the ninth elder brother: "Ninth elder brother, Mr. Bo is the great-grandson of Lord Zhongyi, one generation younger than me."
The loyal and righteous Duke Turge is the second head of the Niu Hulu family and the half-brother of the tenth prince's grandfather, Ye Bilong.
Brother Jiu understood the relationship and nodded: "That's okay, he's a great nephew."
Otherwise, it would be annoying to have the records of uncles and cousins on display.
Kangxi was speechless when he saw that he could only think of this.
He really wanted to ask about the 50,000 taels of silver in Yuqing Palace, but thinking of how depressed Brother Jiu was when he went out that day, he decided not to say anything.
Forget it, I'd better not interfere in the matters between their brothers.
Just the ceremony.
Kangxi said: "I will find someone for you. You should also learn the rules later. No one will laugh at you in the palace. Don't lose your identity outside."
Brother Jiu was upset after hearing this and said hurriedly: "Khan Ama, doesn't my son have a teacher?"
Kangxi hummed and said, "I'm not too confused yet, but you know what the ceremony is about!"
Brother Jiu immediately said happily: "My son knows, my son knows..."
Of course he knows what the ceremony is, the official in the prince's palace, the person in charge of the ceremony, and the guidance.
The fifth- and sixth-rank petty officials, Khan Ama could just point them out, and they all acted as multiple masters.
hey-hey.
When the two brothers came out of Qianqing Palace, the ninth elder brother said to the tenth elder brother: "That Bose has a pretty good temper, and his actions are much more agile than Yin De's."
He just couldn't figure out the seniority involved, and he had some distrust of the Niu Hulu family's family tradition, and had no objection to Bose himself.
The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "It would be better if it were him, we are more familiar with him than others."
When the two returned to the elder brother's office, the two elder brother's offices were already in action.
Even the head office and the fifth office have already turned on the lights.
Brother Fourteen didn't stay here last night, but he made a detour before going to the study.
Brother Jiu returned to his flamboyant appearance and said to the three little brothers: "If there is anything delicious or fun outside, we can go directly to see it! Haha, don't worry, I will tell you about it when the time comes. !”
The 12th and 13th elder brothers both felt helpless, and the 14th elder brother said directly: "Ninth brother, why are you so ungrateful?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "Being kind is stupid, letting others take advantage of you, then forget it, I am still a thief!"
A few jokes.
As for the moving matter, no one could do anything about it. People from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were already waiting and started moving things according to the instructions.
The corridor in front of my brother was full of people.
Brother Jiu thought they were in the way, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't hold back, and go to the study! In a few days, when the pot is warmed up, I will request permission from Khan Amma to take you over to identify the door!"
The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince both laughed, and the Twelfth Prince also looked a little more relaxed.
Cui Nanshan and Cui Baisui were in the main courtyard, and together with Xiao Chun, they watched everyone carry the luggage of the main house first.
The tenth elder brother asked the ninth elder brother: "When will the ninth elder brother pick up the ninth elder brother?"
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and looked at it and said, "Your sister-in-law has been getting up late recently. She is probably going to be in bed soon. I will go there at that time."
The tenth elder brother went back to the third house first.
At the second quarter of Maozheng, the sky was bright.
The items in the main courtyard of Brother's house have been moved twice and have been completed.
Xiaochun told Brother Jiu and took the people out of the palace.
The people sent by various palaces to see him off also arrived.
Yikun Palace was the first to arrive.
Peilan came over with a little palace maid, holding a booklet, and looked at Brother Ninth with hesitation.
She planned to give it to Xiao Chun, but she didn't expect to miss it.
Brother Jiu saw it and said, "Did the empress give it to me?"
Peilan could only bite the bullet and said, "The empress asked someone to summarize the various precautions during pregnancy, and they are for Fujin."
Brother Jiu held out his hand and said, "Well, give it to Fujin."
Peilan offered it with both hands and went to the third house.
What Concubine Yi prepared for her tenth brother was a brocade box, which contained several old belongings of Concubine Wen Xi.
"The empress said to make a Nianxiang clam for Mr. Shi."
Perrin said.
Brother Ten also took it with both hands, handed it to Shi Fujin, and said, "Keep my mother's things."
Shi Fujin also became serious and said: "I will keep it well and give it to our little princess later."
After a while, people from Yanxi Palace also arrived. They were people from the palace next to Concubine Hui.
On the contrary, everyone is treated equally, and the gifts from the second and third schools are the same.
The banker's ticket is five thousand taels for each place.
"The empress has said that she won't prepare anything for the brothers. If you like anything, I can buy it myself..."
The palace man said.
Brother Jiu's expression was stern. This was because Concubine Hui's mother knew that he was suffering from famine everywhere and was trying to make up for it.
He said: "If I bother my concubine, please tell me that we are all fine. I will try to be filial to my concubine in two years."
