Brother Ninth's eyes were a little wandering.
What was the situation at that time?
It seems that Fujin asked himself if he had watched "The Law of the Qing Dynasty"...
"Brother Ninth, tell me quickly..." Brother Fourteen urged.
Not only the fourteenth elder brother was curious, but the thirteenth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were also a little curious.
The thirteenth elder brother also heard about it for the first time, and the fifth elder brother knew a little bit, but not completely.
Brother Jiu cleared his throat and said: "I didn't expect Guidan to make a false accusation at first. I thought someone was really selling fake jewelry, using gold-coated silver jewelry as gold jewelry to sell. When I went to Beicheng Bingma Division, it was wrong. I want to say that it was wrong. It's okay for a down-and-out bannerman to break the law and make money without respecting dignity, but that's not the case with Dong E's family. There is still an uncle in this house. My father-in-law was also promoted by Khan Amma to be the head of the capital. As the matriarch of the family, we are Aixinjueluo. He came from home, how could he be like this? Let the commander of the Beicheng Army and Horses Department interrogate him carefully, and then he found that there were flaws in Guidan's 'human and material evidence'..."
"The person who falsely accused you has rebelled against me. Guidan will compensate your sister-in-law for the loss..."
"If there is a penalty, Guidan will die. I can only ask your sister-in-law to withdraw the lawsuit..."
"Your sister-in-law agreed to his request, accepted his compensation, and withdrew the lawsuit..."
Brother Jiu spoke lightly and pulled himself out, as if he was not stupid enough to believe Guidan's lies.
The Fourteenth Brother remembered Guidan and guessed it at once, saying: "Isn't that the Haha Pearl of Ninth Brother? Was he showing off outside under the guise of Ninth Brother? Otherwise, how could he be so bold? "
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "In my guise, in addition to trying to squeeze out your sister-in-law's bank, I also wanted to buy other people's houses and shops at a low price. Your sister-in-law found out about it and sent Fu Song to tell me. I only found out. …”
The fifth elder brother frowned and said: "He is such a bastard, why are you giving him a bodyguard? Then you will ruin your reputation later?"
Brother Jiu laughed and said: "I sent you to the Sentence Division once, so you should have a better memory. Next time, I will send you to the clan's mansion directly as 'disrespectful'..."
Having said this, he looked at the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers and said: "You are getting older and will soon be out of the study room. This is a lesson for me. You must restrain the people around you, so as not to rely on you." Those who do evil things outside will ruin your reputation."
The thirteenth elder brother nodded honestly and said: "Brother understands."
Brother Fourteen said in a sharp voice: "Who dares to look at me? I will also send him to the Criminal Punishment Department when the time comes, and he will knock dozens of boards to improve his memory!"
The ninth prince thought of Ba Fujin again. The eighth prince was in the current situation that no one wanted to take care of. In addition to Ba Fujin's own improper behavior, the eighth prince was not restrained.
He said: "It's not just Haha Zhuzi. When they get married in the future, Fujin will also take good care of them. The husband and wife are one, and no one can escape if they make a joke."
Brother Thirteen's face turned red and he said, "I understand."
Okay Fujin, where is the need for discipline?
People like the ninth sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law, and the princess are all praised by everyone.
The fifth sister-in-law, the seventh sister-in-law, and the tenth sister-in-law are also good-natured.
The reason why Bafu Jin is so arrogant is because he was raised by the royal family.
The fourteenth elder brother said boldly: "If you dare to disobey, I will directly lift the four sides of Fujin. Whoever is obedient will take care of the house!"
In one sentence, the mentioned brothers all laughed.
This is not yet enlightening.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and was speechless. There was really nothing he didn't worry about.
However, this person is still as arrogant as a needle-nosed child. He just presented a circle of eggs, and there were no eggs from the third elder brother, no eighth elder brother, and no eggs from the prince.
These three people all had issues with him.
This is vindictiveness, and it is clear that he is petty.
However, Kangxi did not intend to intervene to mediate. It was going on for a while, but it would be better after a while.
Just raising chickens…
He couldn't help but ask, "How dare you raise so many chickens?"
You must know that chickens for the Ministry of Internal Affairs are supplied from the Imperial Mansion, but they are also supplied on a rotating basis. If there are insufficient chickens, they have to be purchased from outside.
Because chickens are susceptible to chicken plague, it occurs once or twice a year in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Brother Jiu said: "I've been raising people since thirty-seven years. This is already the third year. It's not too much. We don't raise them in one place. The tenants in Zhuangzi are divided into five. There are five raises in total." Chicken houses and chicken coops are also far away, so that when chicken plague comes, they can also be prepared. Last summer, it caught up with dozens of chickens and died. However, this was because we had prepared medicine to treat chicken plague and used it as soon as it happened. Already..."
"This is not only true for raising chickens, but also for raising pigs. The total number of small and large pigs per household does not exceed thirty. If there are more sheep, there are less cattle and deer, so there is no subdivision..."
Kangxi listened and nodded, just count on success.
The fourteenth elder brother was listening, very moved, and said: "Ninth brother, is Zhuangzi located in Haidian? Let's go and have a look at some time. In the future, when my younger brother opens a mansion, he will also ask people to arrange it like this!"
The savings are small, mainly due to the convenience of supply.
Brother Jiu said: "It's at Baiwang Mountain, fourteen miles away from here. If you finish class early in the afternoon another day, you can go there and take a look..."
"okay!"
The fourteenth elder brother immediately responded and looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, please go too. Then we will also ask the people in Huangzhuang to raise chickens, and the imperial kitchen will not have to buy eggs outside!"
Kangxi shook his head and said, "That's not how it was calculated."
Brother Jiu explained from the side: "Even if you take eggs from Huangzhuang, you still have to pay this sum of money and record it in Huangzhuang's account. If it is not settled clearly, there will be chaos."
The fourteenth elder brother understood it immediately and said: "I understand, the Imperial Village has a surplus, and then it will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Brother Ninth fell silent and said, "Huangzhuang still has various expenses, and sometimes money has to be transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The fourteenth elder brother was surprised and said: "Then why? Isn't Huangzhuang promising? What does a Huangzhuang that is losing money want it to do?"
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "If you raise chickens, it will cost a lot of money. The money for seedlings, feed, labor, veterinary money, losses, and all the miscellaneous things add up. Anyway, there will be no money left. If you don't raise them, For chickens, it also depends on the rain. If it rains too much, there will be waterlogging. If it doesn’t rain, it will be drought. There is always an excuse."
The fourteenth elder brother frowned and said: "Then if I open a mansion in the future, I'd better not ask for the palace, but give more shops and houses. I can still get money by renting it out, so I don't need to add money to it!"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. This house needs repairs and maintenance. The palace will allocate 300,000 taels of silver every year to repair the palace. You will have less house by then, and you will also get 1,800 taels of silver every year. Bar……"
Brother Fourteen was unhappy and said, "The rent is not enough to repair their house."
Brother Jiu really wanted to tell him that he might not be able to count on much rent. When the time comes, "the shop will be dilapidated" and he will have to lower the price if he has no choice but to do so.
It's just that he hid his intentions and didn't mention this, so as not to expose the accounting department's nest later and the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers would notice something again.
These two little brothers are somewhat clever...

West time room.
Kangxi guessed wrong. The grilled chicken wings here were not a plate of ten, but six.
There are no six meat or six vegetarian dishes like there, but only two vegetarian dishes, stewed bean curd with loofah and radish with sesame sauce.
There were five people eating next door, and three of them had big appetites, so they were served on ruler plates.
The seats in the West Room have all been replaced with six-inch plates.
Six meat and two vegetables were served, and the kang table was also set down.
In this way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can eat just enough food without wasting it.
This is also a habit that Shu Shu has developed. He rewards vegetables in advance and does not reward leftovers.
As she said, Yi Fei prefers to eat meat, and her favorites are grilled chicken wings and grilled lamb chops.
"Your mutton is delicious, without any smell..." she praised sincerely.
Her portion includes mutton, fifteen plates a month.
However, there are only a few kinds of dishes in the palace, most of which are stewed soup or fried mutton.
She found it tasteless and ate less.
Shu Shu said: "They are all six-month-old lambs, so the meat is more tender. Just marinate them with salt and peppercorns, and brush them with a layer of honey before roasting."
Speaking of this, she thought of her eighteenth brother.
Now that he is one year old, the teething stick is ready.
It's just that the things at the entrance cannot be controlled by others.
You can ask Xiaotang to make some before the end of the month and send them over during the "week" period...
The imperial concubine had lunch and then left together.
Shu Shu went to the door with everyone to say goodbye.
When the group of people had gone far, the fourteenth elder brother smiled and walked up to the ninth elder brother and asked for credit: "Ninth elder brother, how is my brother? Is he loyal enough? Hehe, I really want the imperial censor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask questions on the street when I look back. If prices go down, those slaves can scold Third Brother to death!"
Brother Jiu looked at him and said with surprise: "What you said just now was intentional?"
The fourteenth elder brother was very proud and said: "It's not difficult to dig a hole. You can't say these things to the ninth brother. It's hard to say these things to the fifth brother, but I'm fine!"
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "Okay! I appreciate your kindness. This summer, I have these egg buns. You can eat as much as you want!"
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "I also want to go to Zhuangzi to catch chickens and roast beggar's chickens!"
Brother Jiu said happily: "Catch! Forget about the chicken, you can even roast the beggar pig!"
The fifth elder brother said from the side: "Brother Zhuzi has promised that when you get married, I will give you four pots directly, which is twice as much as others!"
The fourteenth elder brother immediately asked with expectation: "Can my brother Fujin give birth to quadruplets?"
Everyone was speechless.
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "Do you think anyone can give birth to auspicious babies? They all give birth to three or four children. Can you afford it and raise it?"
The fourteenth elder brother smiled and said: "What's the matter? Isn't there Khan Amma? Why should I worry about that? When Emperor Taizu was here, he was granted the title of grandson..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu fell into deep thought.
The grandson of Emperor Taizu...
It seems that there are indeed those who have won the title of Heshuo Baylor, and the rest is Taiji.
Fujin once mentioned to himself that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager live a long life...
If the imperial father reaches that time, it will still be more than twenty years.
Fengsheng and Akdan have been married for many years...
Brother Ninth felt that he didn’t need to think too much about Akdan’s title and could let him fend for himself...
