After hearing the good news from Brother Nine, Kangxi told the reason why he came in.
“What’s the recipe for New Year’s Eve meal?”
The matter of the second-class Bo Xinda ceremony is quite legendary, and a piece of star iron was also involved.
Brother Jiu only knew that the piece of star iron had been sent to Jingshan. He didn't know that the Holy Master had ordered it to be sent to the Nanyuan Palace after his tour to the south.
In the back hall of Jingshan, two eunuchs fell ill and their lungs were broken, so they are just struggling to survive.
The imperial doctor diagnosed that Xindali could prepare for the funeral, but because of the use of Lejia's patent medicine, he managed to survive for two more months and died in April.
Kangxi was deeply impressed by this incident.
Now that he knew the physical condition of the eldest princess, he thought of Lejia's patent medicine.
Brother Jiu recalled it for a while and said: "It seems to be called longevity pills. The main medicinal ingredients are ginseng, eucommia, dodder and so on."
Now that the Le family members are all in the hospital, I can ask him to try whatever prescription they want to try.
Kangxi thought for a while and said, "Then tell the Le family to try to make a medicine according to Xindali's recipe. First make two months' worth."
Brother Jiu glanced at Princess Rongxian and nodded in agreement.
Kangxi said: "As soon as possible, the eldest princess will leave for the imperial mausoleum at the beginning of next month."
Brother Jiu nodded, that would only be five and a half days.
Princess Rongxian said: "Excuse me, brother."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's all my brother's business, you're welcome..."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said: "If my great-aunt is ill, wouldn't it be better to take good care of her? It's just a winter to recuperate, and it won't be too late to go to worship in the spring next year."
People who are old must take good care of themselves. This cold winter is not the time to rush.
Princess Rongxian smiled bitterly and said: "Grandma can't sleep at night now, and her essence and blood are depleted, so she doesn't dare to delay too much."
Although it was expected, Brother Jiu still felt a little heavy.
When the siblings came out of Qianqing Palace, Princess Rongxian said: "A few days ago, Yin De's niece broke into the princess's courtyard. I didn't know that this girl was also involved with your Fujin side."
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "These children of the noble family are arrogant. At that time, Shun Anyan of the Tong family was also very embarrassed in the palace. The princes and princesses felt that they were not as good as his uncle's family in terms of legitimate concubines. The eldest son and grandson Jingui and the Niu Hulu family are not much better. The second sister doesn't need to pay attention to them. She just doesn't know how to praise them and doesn't appreciate them. The old man has long regretted paying attention to them!"
Princess Rongxian nodded and said: "I heard that the girl has been sent to Shengjing, so she can be regarded as out of sight and out of mind."
Brother Jiu is too lazy to mention the Niu Hulu family, and there is also a big plaid in Aling'a's house, who is also a nuisance.
He looked at Princess Rongxian, took a closer look, and said, "Second sister will also go to the imperial mausoleum early next month, right?"
Princess Rongxian nodded.
This time she was able to return to the court, and her main task was to serve the eldest princess, so she naturally had to take care of her.
Brother Jiu said: "It's very dry now. My brother will send someone to pack two boxes of facial cream. My second sister will try it. It's moisturizing and suitable for winter."
Princess Rongxian:
How did the topic get here?
Shouldn't this be a conversation between sisters?
The person in front of me is my brother, not my sister!
Brother Jiu glanced at Princess Rongxian's hands again and said: "There is also hand cream. Second sister also uses some. She is not young anymore. Don't look older than our empress in a few years!"
Princess Rongxian laughed angrily and snorted: "You, a man, why do you pay attention to this all day long? Are you shabby or not?"
Brother Jiu proudly said: "Everyone loves beauty, why should I be shabby? Who outside doesn't know that I cherish Fujin and treat our queen with filial piety."
Princess Rongxian said: "Then go and cherish your Fujin, I don't need you to worry about it!"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be shy about saying it. Isn't this my second sister?"
Princess Rongxian was too lazy to argue with him and said: "I haven't congratulated you yet. This is a good sign. Don't keep thinking about useless things. I won't bother myself these days. When I come back from my grandmother's honor, I will go and congratulate my younger siblings." "
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, we are very close now. You can come here when you are free. But you don't have to worry about preparing gifts. I, Fujin, kept the plate of coral pearls a few days ago and it was very hot. I want to look back." Prepare backup gifts for your nephews and nieces; if you bother with other things, we will have to add more gifts as well..."
Princess Rongxian was laughed at and said: "Isn't that just right? I can still take advantage!"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "No, no, second sister, please be careful and don't look stingy. You don't look like the second sister, but the third brother!"
Princess Rongxian couldn't help but patted him and said: "No matter how big or small, you are the one who talks about your brother and sister?"
Brother Jiu avoided it and said: "Really, I can't tell the truth. He is also my younger brother's biological third brother. What can I do if he has a stingy problem? The younger brother can only endure it!"
These words were very old-fashioned. Princess Rongxian waved her hands and said: "Okay, don't be ridiculous. I'll go to Zhongcui Palace and leave the palace."
Brother Jiu said: "Then you go well, my brother will go find Le Fengming now."
Princess Rongxian took her servants and left quietly.
Brother Jiu glanced at the imperial doctor on duty and signaled He Yuzhu to go over and ask.
As expected, Le Fengming was not on duty today, otherwise the Qianqing Palace would have just passed down the oral instructions.
It was almost time to close the city gate. After Brother Jiu left the palace, he took his people directly to Nancheng and arrived at Le Fengming's house.
Le Fengming got the news and hurriedly came out with respect.
Brother Jiu didn't go in. He got off his horse and talked about the longevity pills, and then said: "I heard that you want to open a shop to sell patent medicines. If this job is completed, you can open a shop later and I will take a share!"
This is not to encroach on Lejia's business, but to live in the capital, it's difficult, and because colleagues are enemies.
If Lejia's patent medicine brand is to be launched, it is not only important to have the prescription, but also to find a backer, otherwise the business will not last long.
Le Fengming said with gratitude: "Thank you very much, Lord Jiu, for your advice. I will definitely do my best."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good. When you finish this errand, you can go to my house to pay my respects."
Three-drug.
Now I don’t dare to give Shu Shu random medicines, but I can prepare some prescriptions for postpartum care. It would be better if there are medicated meals.
Le Fengming responded respectfully.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm going back."
When passing by Qianmen Street, Jiu Agelema walked slowly and took a look at his two shops.
The restaurant belonged to the tenth prince, who opened a restaurant half a year ago. Because of the good recipes, he quickly occupied a place among the restaurants on Qianmen Street.
After the beginning of autumn this year, hot pot and secret spicy hot pot seasoning were added.
Now you can smell the overbearing fragrance without even getting there, and it is expected that the business is booming.
One was the one compensated by Eighth Prince's Mansion and was converted into a pastry shop. After winter, there were many weddings and funerals, as well as wedding cakes and cakes, which was also a time when business was booming.
Food is the most important thing for the people.
Although it may seem like a small amount of money, but the water flows slowly, the sand accumulates into hills, and the income is quite a lot.
Brother Ninth looked at it with satisfaction.
Not to mention anything else, except for the boxes of dumplings used in New Year's gifts, they are all ready-made, which is more convenient.
In time to close the city gate, Brother Jiu entered the city. When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, he was already in the middle of the war.
It was already dark.
The main room was brightly lit.
Shu Shu didn't need to be late yet, and she was a little worried while waiting.
She was relieved when her ninth brother came back intact.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu felt guilty and said, "I left the city temporarily and forgot to send someone back to say something."
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I'm overthinking it. I'm going to see my dear mother, not anyone else."
Brother Jiu said: "You don't have to worry about this in the future. I know that it is Khan Ama, and the emperor will not speak unobtrusively."
6 "Yeah!" Shu Shu touched her belly and nodded: "Even if the emperor really wants to discipline me, it must be because I have something that needs discipline. That is not a bad thing. It will never happen for no reason."
Brother Jiu glanced at her and said, "Then remember this. If my father-in-law disciplines the little boy in the future, it will be because he needs to be disciplined. You can't stop him."
This is quite far-term thinking.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Well, make a note of it. I will not interfere in your future education."
Brother Jiu said: "That's good. I'm worried that you are like Concubine De, who is too protective of her babies. If you do, the child will be spoiled. If you are as skinny as Fourteen, I will have to beat you three times a day!"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
It’s true that crows can’t see themselves being black.
Considering the arrogant and arrogant behavior of the ninth elder brother before, Kangxi probably wanted to fight him three times a day.
This is a person who lacks love. Looking at him like that, he seems to be competing with his children for favor.
Shu Shu also didn't want the relationship between father and son to be tense in the future, so she had to coax: "My father and I are husband and wife, and we are the closest. The child needs to be left alone and allowed to live his own life. I am too lazy to interfere."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Seeing how happy our life is, we don't have to worry about anything."
It's getting late, so I'll wait until Brother Jiu simply freshens up, and then puts it out later.
After eating too much meat these days, Shu Shu began to miss eating vegetables again.
Mainly, she is also vaguely worried that she will not be able to bear the child if she raises it too big.
A plate of cabbage with sesame sauce, a plate of sweet and sour radish tassels, a portion of chicken meatballs, a portion of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and a bowl of egg and spinach soup.
The staple food prepared for Ninth Brother is milk steamed buns, but Shu Shu's own food is omitted.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu was worried: "Is it too vegetarian? Can I eat enough?"
Shu Shu said: "I ate a bowl of chicken cakes in the afternoon, and I'm not hungry yet."
Brother Jiu was relieved and the couple had a late meal.
They had been looking forward to it for three months, but because of an unexpected situation, the two of them didn't dare to mess around.
Brother Jiu hugged Shu Shu and said pitifully: "It's okay. Your body is the most important thing. I have been a vegetarian for more than ten years and I am here..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu couldn't help but said: "Since Imperial Physician Jiang will be here on night duty from now on, I will also ask privately to see if it will be a problem..."
