After a while, the third elder brother and the eldest elder brother also arrived one after another.
The eldest brother said with a smile: "Even if I see the bamboo in that half of the room, I have to come over today to pay homage to me..."
Many children, many blessings.
Although the eldest brother delayed the renewal of his marriage for the sake of several children, he had no intention of just guarding Hongyu.
Raising children is not easy.
Even the royal family had their elder brothers die one after another in their early years.
Now, while the fifth elder brother is begging for a child, he is also thinking about everyone, which is very kind.
So even if it was a birthday party, the eldest brother would come over.
As for the third elder brother, he also wanted to ask about the emperor's grandson's schooling to see if there was any more detailed information.
Hearing the bamboo, the third elder brother looked at the fifth elder brother and said, "The fifth elder brother has good intentions, but raising bamboo in the winter, isn't this causing trouble for everyone?"
You have to set up a special greenhouse to raise it, otherwise it won't survive in the yard.
To heat a house, you need charcoal, which costs a lot of money during the winter.
Brother Wu really didn't think of this before. After all, it was Wu Fujin who arranged for Zhuzi to be taken care of after he came back.
He said: "Then send someone back and don't waste any extra money!"
He knew that Third Brother was careful, but he really felt that he was causing trouble to others.
The third elder brother was a little hesitant after hearing this.
Three houses produce a lot of charcoal in one winter...
But this is all connected with a good omen. If he is sent back, he will not give birth to Brother, but will give birth to Gege instead. There will be no regrets.
He coughed lightly and said, "Forget it, I've been raising it for several days!"
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother.
Originally, he felt that the greenhouse was too expensive, and even though he thought it was good, he had no intention of asking anyone to prepare it.
As a result, the bamboo arrived and the greenhouse was packed away without even wanting to clean it up.
These days, I have been waiting for Brother Jiu to come back and lend him a favor.
In addition to raising a few pots of bamboo, the greenhouse can be used to get some flower shelves and grow some potted vegetables.
Even though there are not as many varieties as the greenhouses in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, you can still ask people to grow some things like cabbages, radishes, and green onions.
The fifth elder brother didn’t send any posts to other places, it was just these people.
There is also Prince Gong's Mansion, which is also responsible for sending posts. It turns out that Prince Gong has been ill recently and has not been seen for some days.
After a while, it was time for dinner.
The fifth elder brother said proudly, "Everyone has a try from the banquet ordered by 'Baiweiju'..."
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both laughed when they heard this familiar name.
The eighth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, and his smile was a little forced.
He knew that "Baiweiju" was not far from "Baixiangzhai".
"Baiweiju" was originally Lao Shi's shop. It seems that it was given to Brother Ninth Brother as a congratulatory gift when he got married.
This is distance and distance.
My wedding to my ninth brother was just one month apart.
The congratulations given to him by the tenth prince were ordinary.
It seems that he has been close to him since he was a child, but in his eyes, he and Brother Ninth are also inferior.
As for "Baixiangzhai", it is now also a popular shop in Nancheng. It was originally my own shop.
Because Haitang originally chose "Qianjinfang" as her name, Brother Jiu destroyed her name and even sued the Bujun Dutong Yamen for "impersonating her name".
In the end, he lost the shop and Brother Jiu withdrew the lawsuit.
Brother Ninth didn't save any face for himself.
The eldest brother said: "'Baiweiju'? This is a newly opened restaurant in the city. Why haven't you heard of it?"
The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "The restaurant in Nancheng, I found it very delicious a few days ago, so I ordered some noodles today."
After a while, the table was served.
It is also the order of cold cuts, plates, bowls, soups, and snacks.
The eldest brother noticed something was wrong. Several bowls of dishes were red and spicy.
The main dish is a spicy grilled fish. It should be live fish, which is extremely fresh and tender. The side dishes are green garlic sprouts, which are bright in color.
There is also a grilled lamb chop, also covered with a layer of red pepper.
There are several bowls of dishes, including boiled venison, boiled hoof flowers, and two non-spicy dishes, "Hai Bazhen" and "Cao Bazhen".
The taste is good, but the combination of dishes is a bit strange.
Brother Ninth Brother was extremely awkward and said, "Brother Fifth, what's going on? Why is this table so weird?"
Call it the "Eight Treasures Banquet", but it doesn't fit.
It's said to be the Yan'an Wing Banquet. Those two dishes are also included, but they are not the main course.
The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "I built it myself, and I ordered all the delicious food on the menu!"
Prince Yu nodded and said: "It does taste good. I didn't expect the river fish to be quite delicious when done this way."
The Honorable Eight Banners family doesn't eat river fish very much, but prefers river fish.
Every year at the beginning of the winter months, a lot of chilled river fish from the Northeast arrive in Beijing. The price is more expensive than meat, but everyone is used to stocking up on it.
Because New Year dishes must include fish, which is a good sign of "more than enough every year".
The fifth elder brother smiled and said: "Uncle, when he has nothing to do, he goes to Nancheng. There are many good restaurants..."
The eldest brother looked at the ninth brother and said, "Why do some of the dishes on the table look familiar to me?"
The ninth elder brother coughed slightly, gave a thumbs up to the eldest elder brother, and said: "Who is the eldest brother? You can see it right away. That is exactly the dowry of my younger brother Fujin. The business opened after the beginning of spring is just a fool's errand. A piece of fat money..."
At this point, he looked at Prince Yu and said, "Uncle Wang sees that there is something he likes to eat. Just send someone to the shop to order it. He will pay it directly to his nephew. Later, he will settle the matter with Fujin. He will be settled in Di'an next spring. The door is also open, which will be more convenient then..."
Prince Yu couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this.
How can I go to my nephew-in-law's dowry shop to eat and drink for free as an elder?
He said: "No, when you want to eat, I will sneak over and try the new dishes you have come up with..."
The former second residence, now the Ninth Prince's Mansion, has long been famous. It is said that the Ninth Prince and his wife love to think about food, and they often go to Ningshou Palace and Qianqing Palace to "revere dishes" when they are in the palace.
The third elder brother was sitting under Prince Xian. His heart was pounding as he listened. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Why are you so careful with your younger siblings? Isn't the business of your younger siblings the business of the prince's palace?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother, shook his head and said: "You can tell at a glance, third elder brother, you haven't read "The Law of the Qing Dynasty" carefully. This younger brother's business belongs to Fujin, and Fujin's still belongs to Fujin, but Fujin's does not belong to younger brother. !”
The third elder brother was a little reluctant to get off the stage, and said: "Again, how can there be such a rule? Husband and wife are one, what are you and me?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother as if he were looking at an ignorant idiot.
He was already gritting his teeth in his heart.
It turns out it tastes so good!
It turns out that the conversation between the two brothers came from the earliest meetings between Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.
That's what Shu Shu used to block him at that time!
Go home and settle accounts with Fujin!
Fujin probably looked at himself the same way he looked at his third brother, as if he were a fool.
The fifth elder brother, sitting under the third elder brother, was more kind and explained: "Lao Jiu is talking about the dowry of the younger brother and sister. According to the rules, it is the private property of the younger brother and sister. It is probably recorded in the "Qing Law"."
The third elder brother said coquettishly: "Who doesn't know this yet? But didn't that shop just open this year? Even if it is in the name of the younger brother and sister, it should be owned by the public."

Brother Jiu was puzzled: "My younger brother Fujin's shop is also managed by my younger brother Fujin's dowry. How can it be counted as a public property? Or is this how your family counts it? If that's the case, Third Brother, you are not kind, and you can't do it because of it." If Mr. Peng is gone, he will take advantage of the third sister-in-law..."
The third elder brother waved his hand and said: "I know it well. Isn't it because my younger brothers and sisters are smart and capable, and I am afraid that you will suffer a loss..."
Brother Jiu was not happy to hear this, his face drooped, and he said: "You can't do this to me, my uncle? You can't praise others, it sounds unreasonable! My younger brother Fujin is capable, and my younger brother can only take advantage of him, so what can he do to suffer a loss?" ?”
He was unhappy.
I don’t want to show any shame to my third elder brother.
He directly stretched out his hand and said: "Since we have met, third brother, let us also settle the score. You have been using the carriage for half a month, where is the money?"
The third elder brother was stunned and said: "What money does the carriage cost? It is a carriage from the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"
Brother Ninth rolled his eyes and said, "That's the carriage in my younger brother's name. It belongs to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and is the private property of our family!"
The third elder brother reluctantly said: "I know, I'll pay you a car!"
Brother Ninth was very happy and said: "Okay, then remember to send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for renovation first. It will be just in time for winter."
The third elder brother nodded and said: "Well, you give instructions to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Brother Jiu didn't give up and said, "As for the money for the renovation, you have to give it first, right? It's not easy to pay on credit..."
The third elder brother frowned and said: "It's a renovation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what else do I need to charge?"
The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and hummed softly: "Have you forgotten that you have already divided your household? You also have your salary, and you pay for all the supplies yourself, and you no longer belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
The third elder brother turned out to be what the ninth elder brother feared at the beginning. He looked directly at the eldest elder brother and said: "Didn't the eldest brother's carriage also be modified? Did you spend money to modify it?"
Just when the elder brother was about to speak, the ninth elder brother already raised his eyebrows and said: "That is my filial piety. I paid the money. We moved last month. The elder brother asked people to send several letters of silver. This is considered a courtesy to the younger brother."
The third elder brother quit and said: "I also received money? Why don't you want to honor me? We are all brothers, and we don't favor one over the other!"
Brother Ninth snorted: "The third brother robbed the younger brother's carriage, but the younger brother didn't break it up in front of the emperor, and didn't pay the 'arrears' to the third brother. Isn't this interesting enough?"
Third Brother: "..."
Clear your account!
I still expect to receive dividends!
Besides, Yu Qian is still watching.
The 50,000 taels from Yuqing Palace were sent back, and there was a day when the prince regretted it.
He didn't want to regret it.
This bastard Lao Jiu is not kind.
Are you running out of money and looking for excuses to "pay off your debt"?
He gritted his teeth and said, "How much is the money for the transformation? It shouldn't be high, it only costs three to forty taels for a carriage..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, not much, only six or seventy taels!"
The third elder brother almost jumped up.
This is blackmail!
Why is it more expensive than a carriage? !
Isn’t it just that three more smoke cages were added, two more layers of carpet were added, and two more layers of woolen cloth were added outside...
