Akdun was already stupid.
His face was pale, and the area where he was slapped quickly swelled.
The prince thought that his clever words and demeanor just now were exactly the same as Li Gege's.
The son is Xiaomu.
Stupid stuff!
The second elder brother is so smart, but he is hindered by this stupid mother and son.
The prince looked at Akedun with undisguised disgust on his face and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Do you think you are the eldest son and will be the prince in the future? It's ridiculous for a concubine to have delusions just because he is the eldest son. !”
At this point, he thought of his eldest brother, and how depressed he was when his eldest brother beat the younger ones. He sneered at Akdun and said, "Stop daydreaming! Your mother-in-law is frivolous and rude, interfering in the upbringing of the emperor's grandson." , I will be demoted as a palace girl from now on, and you can live your life as a concubine’s elder brother!”
Of course Aktun knew the difference between concubines and concubines.
Before, he boasted of his noble status, but that was because he knew that his biological mother was a "prince's concubine", but he didn't formally apply for the title.
He hurriedly said: "Amma, even though E Niang has made mistakes, please consider it for the sake of her son and brother and leave some dignity to E Niang!"
The prince looked at him with a sneer on his lips and said, "You don't deserve to be left alone. As for the second elder brother, you don't have to worry about it..."
There are other princesses in Yuqing Palace, but their status is not high.
The prince thought about his father finding an adoptive mother for the young princes, and had other plans.
Later, you can discuss with the emperor's father to choose a daughter of a foreign relative to enter the Yuqing Palace, or choose a beautiful daughter from the Internal Affairs Department to enter the Yuqing Palace, and choose an adoptive mother with decent family background and good conduct for the second elder brother.
Aktun couldn't bear it any longer and sobbed quietly...
*
The farce in Yuqing Palace was reported to Qianqing Palace that night.
Kangxi listened and was noncommittal.
He has no intention of interfering with the crown prince's education of his son, and he does not lack royal grandchildren...
From the moment Aktun attacked his fifteenth elder brother, he had given up on this grandson of the emperor.
*
Two days later, on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, all government offices in the capital were sealed, including the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Except for the doctor on duty and the principal, everyone else does not need to sit in the yamen.
Brother Ninth is also going on vacation.
Before taking a vacation, he came to Qianqing Palace to send "New Year's greetings".
Kangxi thought he came over to explain the affairs of Nanyuan tomorrow, and complained to Liang Jiugong: "It's an idea every day. I asked him to go before, but he had a cough and was afraid of the wind, so he changed his mind again..."
Liang Jiugong did not answer the call.
Brother Ninth loves to enjoy happiness.
There were so many princes and elder brothers, but he and the tenth elder brother were the only two who changed carriages after entering Dongyue.
It's still "May 9" weather, so I probably won't be happy to go to Nanyuan Paddock.
Maybe he came for other things.
After a while, Brother Jiu came in with a look of pride on his face, holding the fold in both hands and said: "Khan Ama, this is the 'New Year's Gift' prepared by my son for you..."
Kangxi laughed when he heard this and said, "Do I still have a share?"
Of course he knows the term "Nian Jing" and knows that it is an official practice.
But I didn't expect Brother Jiu to be ridiculous and call the New Year's gift "Nian Jing".
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Khan Amma. If there is a boss, it must be you, Khan Amma. My son will prepare a 'New Year's Respect' for you in accordance with the rules!"
Kangxi was in a good mood and was willing to coax his son, saying: "Then let me see something..."
Liang Jiugong took the fold and presented it to the emperor.
Kangxi looked at it, and the first item was "Six thousand three hundred taels of silver"...
Similar words were mentioned by Brother Ninth last year. It was not so formal and he directly asked people to bring the money. The amount was not as large as this year.
He was not surprised at all, he just said: "Don't save money if you don't have it. If you have money, you should spread it out..."
There was news from the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, that is, Brother Jiu also returned New Year's gifts to subordinate officials.
Kangxi also knew the general content of the annual ceremony.
That's a lot of money.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't worry, Khan Ama, it doesn't matter if my son can't save money here, but his son Fujin can save money. The silver house, restaurant and pastry shop under his name are doing well..."
Kangxi listened and became more and more worried.
He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "That is the private property of the Dong E family. What does it have to do with you? Are you not afraid of the Dong E family's jokes?"
Brother Jiu said confidently: "What belongs to my son Fujin, isn't it my son's? If we divide it inside and outside, it will be far apart. Besides, you have also divided the property for your son. There are both Zhuangzi and Shop. That one also earns a lot of profits a year." ”
In addition, for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is three festivals and two birthdays, not just a "year greeting".
Therefore, even if he took out the "Nian Jing" silver and gave 20% as a reward, 10% to honor the empress, and 70% to the Qianqing Palace, he would not feel bad.
My father-in-law was right to remind me that this is Khan Amma's Ministry of Internal Affairs, not his own.
You should know your own propriety.
The second item on the gift list is "a pair of gold Ruyi, weighing ninety-nine taels, nine cents, and nine cents."
Kangxi pointed to that one and said, "What's the purpose of this Ruyi?"
Brother Jiu said: "'Heavy gold to ward off evil spirits.' Before my son saw his son Fujin, he made Jin Ruyi. It looked golden and looked good on display, so he wanted to honor Khan and Ama, and the empress also honored a pair of little ones." Yes, Khan Amma is the Son of Heaven and is immune to all evil, but this is the filial piety of a son. Looking at this, it is like seeing a son..."
Kangxi would not be happy when his son came out of the palace as an adult.
After hearing this, he felt anxious in his heart, but said: "You know that you spend money blindly, isn't it last year when you were very poor?"
Last year, I had to grind my teeth for the few thousand taels of silver I was given as a reward at the end of the year.
Brother Jiu straightened his back and said: "Thanks to Khan Ama, my son's chicken blood stone business has begun to make money. If he wants to honor Khan Ama, he can also do so. If he just talks, my son will be embarrassed to go there." You come closer..."
The ones at the bottom were broken into pieces.
Two cashmere hats, one in maroon and one in royal blue.
There are two cashmere cloth suits, one in maroon and one in sapphire blue.
Two pairs of cashmere short boots, one in maroon and one in sapphire blue.
Two pairs of Songjiang cloth socks, one pair with blessing characters and a pair with swastika pattern...
Kangxi looked at it and felt numb in his heart.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "This is the material from the cashmere factory in Jiangning. Cao Yin found a craftsman and prepared a slurry for cleaning cashmere, so that the current cashmere is different from the two previous ones and compared with Europa. The ones on the other side were not much worse than the ones on the other side. Two pieces of material were delivered, and they felt soft and light. The son thought that this was also a happy occasion, so he asked someone to make these two spring clothes. The thin silk cotton one can be worn after the beginning of spring; the other one without lining can be worn in February..."
Kangxi hummed: "Nonsense, how can I wear this color easily?"
Brother Jiu said: "Why is it difficult to dress? The Chinese New Year is the occasion. Khan Ama, you can't always wear indigo, gray blue, or gray clothes. It makes people look less energetic. You and my son are both white, so wear red." Just right, bright..."
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "How do you talk? What does it mean that I am the same as you? That means you are the same as me!"
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "It's almost the same. Father and son are the same. My son doesn't know your size, Khan Ama, so he estimated it. It's an inch and a half longer than your son's stature, and his shoulders are longer." One inch, and three inches added to the waist, but this is good material, and there is a margin left. If there is anything you don’t like, just ask someone to change it..."
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu's stature.
According to this addition, it is almost the same size as him.
He felt uncomfortable again. He looked at Brother Jiu's new clothes and said, "Don't waste your energy on eating and dressing all day long. Study hard and learn more about business..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu's lips drooped and said: "Khan Ama, in about ten days, my son will be eighteen. There is no need to urge him to study. The teachers have all joined the cabinet, and the court is still busy with important affairs. This study Let’s just forget about it?”
Kangxi frowned and said: "Isn't there still Zhang Tingzhan? I pointed out a Hanlin bachelor for you to use as an ordinary official? Study "Zhou Rites" carefully, and if you don't understand anything, just ask Zhang Tingzhan!"
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "Khan Ama, what do you mean by this? Isn't it a ceremony for Mr. Zhang's son?"
Kangxi hummed and said, "What are the ceremonial duties of the Prince's Mansion?"
Brother Jiu hesitated and said: "'Zhang Yi Festival, Guidance'..."
Kangxi said: "Isn't it his duty to accompany you to learn Zhou Rites and correct the etiquette?"
Brother Jiu heard that this was wrong and said: "Khan Ama, but my son has been acting inappropriately recently?"
Kangxi glared at him and said, "How did you give the New Year's gift? If you are too impatient to come forward, you can ask the chief of ceremonies to come forward on your behalf. How do you think that you are favoring one over the other?"
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "Are you talking about the uncle and the uncle? My son is just thinking. Fujin is now pregnant with twins and is having a hard time. My son should go to the Dutong Mansion to show up and talk to his mother-in-law and let them say goodbye. Worried; at the teacher's side, my son was not familiar with him, so he wanted to be polite. At Uncle Wang and Uncle Wang's side, his son was a little embarrassed, so he asked about the examples of his brothers. The eldest brother went there from Chang Shi, and the fourth brother went there. , Brother Bage went here to be the chief of ceremonies, so my son told Lao Shi, and they all followed the example of his brothers..."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "You are in the first year of founding the government. What are you doing asking about this year's regulations? Shouldn't you be asking about last year's regulations?"
Brother Jiu whispered: "My son also asked about last year's case. Last year, Chang Shi went with the chief of ceremonies..."
He was also on duty, how could he still be so careless?
Kangxi frowned and said, "Last year, your brothers showed filial piety!"
Brother Jiu suddenly realized, with annoyance on his face, and said: "My son didn't expect this. It was indeed his disrespect for the uncle and the uncle, and he also misled Laoshi. Act..."
Kangxi knew that he didn't do it on purpose, but was just negligent. His expression softened slightly and he said, "It's better that you know what's going on, and don't mess up the distance between people near and far!"
Brother Jiu listened with his hands down, nodded obediently, and said: "My son knows that apart from the people in the family, the uncle and the prince are the closest..."
