The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and Gao Bin.
Brother Twelve lowered his head and was looking at the paperweight in front of him.
What catches your eyes?
Aren't they just two sapphire slabs?
Bare, without even a single auspicious word.
Gao Bin was helping Brother Jiu organize official documents on his desk, as if he didn't notice anyone else in the room.
This kid is quite sensible. If you dare to laugh at him, tell Fujin to save that walnut until twenty-five!
Brother Jiu grinded his teeth and followed Wei Zhu out.
"Prince Zhuang went to the imperial court this morning?"
He was worried and asked in a low voice: "What did you tell Khan Ama?
Apart from this one, there seems to be no other place to be punished, right?
The fourth brother's lesson was right, he was a little too generous.
He only remembered to strike preemptively and block Prince Zhuang's mouth, but he left a small tail.
Wei Zhu shook his head and whispered: "Prince Zhuang didn't come, but Prince Jian came..."
Brother Jiu was unhappy after hearing this.
snort!
Complainant!
Even if you think he is wrong, shouldn't you say it in private first?
Why do you have to go to the imperial court?
Isn't this a fire?
He should be taught a lesson in private, and then he would go to apologize to Prince Zhuang and settle the matter.
Take the credit for yourself!
He remembered clearly that Prince Jian asked Lao Shi to send a message to inquire about the hot springs in Xiaotang Mountain.
I fell in love with a piece of land to the west of the palace.
This time, if he doesn’t raise the price, he is not the ninth master, but the ninth grandson!
After a while, I arrived at Qianqing Palace.
Brother Ninth let go of the injustice and anger in his heart.
Otherwise, by showing traces, wouldn't Wei Zhu be deceived?
Wei Zhu wanted to give him a heads up, but he also had to think about not hurting anyone.
All he was thinking about were the two official documents he dealt with yesterday, and he entered the Xinuang Pavilion with a feeling of apprehension.
Kangxi was feeling unhappy. Looking at Brother Jiu's expression, he said angrily: "You still know that you are guilty?"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said with some caution: "This...did Concubine De say something? Or did the Empress say something?"
Kangxi was startled, then frowned and said, "What did you do again?"
Brother Ninth told him honestly about the two job vacancies he had dealt with yesterday.
Kangxi's brows relaxed a bit, but he still reprimanded: "It's superfluous! Since the previous candidate is out of line, just reject it directly and let the other party draft it again. What else are you talking about?"
】
They are both "selfish" and "bad people"...
"Hit someone without slapping someone in the face, and expose someone without exposing their shortcomings. How will the people below see you if you do this?"
It seems that they are talking about the Wuya family and the Guo Luoluo family, but there are not only these two surnames in the harem relatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there are more than ten families.
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "My son just thought too much and was afraid that they would be working outside in the name of the prince, so he wrote one more sentence."
Kangxi shook his head and said, "Then there's no need to confront him with a glare like that. It's better to deal with it slowly."
But overall, he was quite satisfied.
If the Ninth Prince is really nepotistic, or using his civil and military positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to sell to the mother clan of other princes, then he will be worried.
But when he thought about calling Brother Jiu over, he glared at him again and said, "I have learned etiquette for more than half a year, but have I learned it in a dog's belly?"
Brother Jiu immediately admitted his mistake and said: "My son felt guilty at the time. He was afraid that the uncle would come to question him, so he thought of taking a preemptive strike and ignored the rules..."
As he spoke, he told the situation at that time: "My son sent Gao Yanzhong to deal with the affairs of Qingdeban. Not knowing that it was Prince Zhuang's family, he thought there was someone behind it, so he sent him directly to the Infantry Dutong Yamen. Went there, and after interrogating the shopkeeper and the manager, we found out that it was related to the palace. At that time, my son was afraid that the uncle would come to question him, so he took an excuse and sent He Yuzhu to find Shi Gui..."
Since Kangxi had read Si Age's excerpts, he naturally knew who Shi Gui was.
He looked at Brother Jiu, still dissatisfied and said: "If you don't do anything wrong, why are you guilty?"
There was nothing wrong at first, so even if he sent someone there, it would have been a bit reckless of the Yamen, and it would not be surprising if someone didn't know, but the handling afterwards was too bad.
The one who was in the wrong became the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu glanced at Kangxi and whispered: "That is my son's cousin, or an old prince. He is respected and noble. How can my son not be afraid?"
"Hmph! Are you afraid? Then you dare to sell the land in Tangquan for fifteen taels of silver per acre?"
Kangxi said with a dark face.
If he remembered correctly, the land in Xiaotangshan ranged from high to low, and the price was moderate, which seemed to be less than five taels of silver per acre.
Brother Jiu had vowed before that he could sell twice as much.
The results of it?
This is more than three times.
Brother Jiu hurriedly cried out: "Khan Ama, that's different. That's the boundary next to the palace. Originally, my son planned to leave it to Khan Ama as a reward. There are two particularly good springs with very high temperatures. He can boil eggs, which is most suitable for health. That is to say, the uncle is the elder. If it were anyone else, let alone fifteen taels of silver per acre, even twenty-five taels or twenty-five taels would not be available here..."
"real?"
Kangxi looked suspicious.
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said, "Why are you lying to me son?"
Speaking of this, he hesitated and said: "But my son did neglect something, and he was just thinking about how to remind the uncle..."
Kangxi asked: "What's wrong with that land?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "The land is good, and the spring is also a good spring. The son is afraid that the uncle is too eager to ask for a son, and it is not enough. After all, it is hot soup... eggs can be cooked. If you soak it for a long time, it will not be good. Already..."
Kangxi didn't understand what "that" was at first, but when he figured it out, he stared at Brother Jiu speechless.
Brother Jiu hurriedly warned: "My son was frightened by the uncle's madness, so he was worried about this. Khan Ama, just listen to it, but don't leak it to anyone. My son has rummaged through the medical classics, but there is no relevant information." According to the records, I estimate that the impact will not be big. My son just thinks about hot spring eggs and is a little worried. Maybe his worries are unfounded..."
Kangxi felt that he would not be able to eat eggs within a few days, and did not want to hear the words "hot spring eggs".
"I'm still too busy, thinking about these useless things all day long..."
Kangxi snorted coldly: "How many emperors in the past dynasties have praised Tangquan. If there are really the disadvantages you mentioned, will the imperial doctor just look at it in vain?"
Brother Jiu still felt that he couldn't say anything, otherwise he would have to bear the consequences.
He said: "Anyway, my son thought of a way to deal with it. He took some soft linoleum cloth from Guangchuku and planned to ask the needleworker to make two pairs of trousers and then give them to the uncle. The uncle will understand what it means. Bar!"
Kangxi: "..."
Does he feel that his brain hurts more?
Did you hear that right?
Want to send obscene pants to Prince Zhuang?
Are you afraid that there will be no news in Beijing?
But Brother Jiu's ability to think of these also shows that he still has elders in his heart.
He knew that for Prince Zhuang, heirs were the most important thing, so he was so careful.
Most of the unhappiness in his heart was gone.
He had been very worried that the prince's elder brothers would use their status to despise the royal family.
It is true that they are princes, but the princes of the clan were also princes and grandsons.
If they are now using their status as the current princes to despise their elders, can the next generation of princes also follow their example?
If that happens, the atmosphere will be bad.
The relationship between the clan and the royal family will become tense, which is not conducive to stability.
However, he knew that Brother Jiu had climbed along the pole, and he didn't want to give him a good look, so he said: "I will go to Prince Zhuang's Mansion tomorrow to apologize. You are a junior, what's wrong with your legs and feet being more diligent?"
The results of it?
It’s been half a year since I moved out of the palace, and like a grown-up girl, I wish I couldn’t leave or enter.
Uncles and brothers don't talk much to each other.
Too lonely.
Kangxi shook his head.
If the prince is too active, he will look annoyed; but this kind of thing is also annoying.
How is it different when you are still a child and when you were in the palace?
Brother Jiu’s palms were sweating.
this……
The chanting, chanting and beating he did today can be regarded as "deceiving the emperor", right?
But it seems that he is not very worried about Khan Amma being exposed.
Because he told the truth.
He felt as if he could speak.
Changing the order or something seems to have clicked.
Another thing is to be smart and not wait to be lectured.
Off topic...
Looking back and pulling it back, Khan Ama probably held back half of the curse words in her mind...
Also, it’s just about talking about gossip and not talking about serious things.
Khan Amma is very picky and can always find faults in business matters.
As a side note, Khan Ama sounds angry, so it’s hard to comment on it.
Brother Jiu's mind was racing, thinking of Fusong's marriage, and said: "I want to tell you the good news, my son may become a big matchmaker again..."
Kangxi listened and reprimanded: "Why don't you have a long memory? Is this what your prince and brother should be thinking about all day long?"
It’s really leisurely, and I can join in any fun...
Brother Jiu said sarcastically: "It's still the same as last time. There are only so many people in the Eight Banners. Dong E's family and Yin De's family both look at each other. If something happens, Fu Song's marriage will become a big problem. He is also a member of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth. My son listens. He said that Zhang Tingzhan had a young sister, so he asked about it. It happened that Zhang Tingzhan was teaching Fusong's homework, and he also thought Fusong was good. Isn't this just right? She has a decent family background and is no worse than the last one..."
Kangxi was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Zhang Ying's daughter?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said proudly: "The prime minister's daughter is no worse than the daughter of Fengchao!"
Kangxi didn't think about anything else. He just thought that Brother Jiu was still angry with the Niu Hulu family. He shook his head and said: "How long has it been? I still remember this and don't compete in a serious place!"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "It's a good beginning and a good end, otherwise my son would feel aggrieved..."
Kangxi had no way to deal with him and asked curiously: "Why did Zhang Ying just agree?"
Zhang Ying had been in the capital for many years, and many high-ranking officials and dignitaries wanted to marry his family, but they were all declined.
Children, daughters, and marriage are all from the same country.
Zhang Tingzhan valued Fusong because of his personal relationship. Why did Zhang Ying nod?
Brother Jiu didn't hide anything, and said, "I guess he was frightened by the previous sons-in-law, and he was afraid of cheating his daughter, right?"
He told Zhang Ying that his three sons-in-law failed in the imperial examination.
Then, he said: "There are a lot of gossips outside about Zhang Xiang and his son, which are all nonsense. If Zhang Xiang is really selfish and interferes in the imperial examination, can the eldest son-in-law and second son-in-law fail year after year? The third son-in-law can't just be a scholar! The son was speechless after hearing this. Is this asking for a name too much? His third daughter's father-in-law was a member of Yao Wenran's clan and was also the magistrate of the state during his lifetime. How could he get to the point where his children and grandchildren could live just a few meters away? It doesn't sound true. , are you pretending to say it on purpose..."
Kangxi did not remember Yao Zhizhou, but he remembered Yao Wenran.
It was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who he promoted after he took office. Qingjie was outspoken and died in office. It was not until the Ministry of Rites went to help his family with funeral arrangements that he discovered that the Yao family lived in poverty. I heard that they could hardly support themselves in their early years in their hometown.
A rare honest official.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said, "This is virtue and you must respect it."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Even if he is a good official, he is not a good man. He has a hard time raising a family in Hukou. He is a waste..."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm talking about. It's just that I read too much and am not good at economics."
Brother Ninth stopped talking and just said: "It would be great if the uncles in the Ministry of Internal Affairs also learned from their virtues. It would save them a lot of worry..."
He did remember the matter of wrapping the left collar, but he also knew that now was not the time to talk about that...
