The fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were standing by, and they looked at each other in confusion after listening to the ninth elder brother's words.
If someone else said this, it might not be true, but if it were Lao Jiu, it would be the truth.
Beat Xiao Ai and hold a grudge.
They waited for Shu Shu's reaction.
Shu Shu nodded and said in a gentle tone: "Well, I'm right. If your good intentions are not rewarded, then don't wrong yourself."
The fourth and seventh elder brothers felt that Shu Shu seemed to be protective of his shortcomings.
Shouldn't there be some persuasion?
This is really a good wife, the husband sings and the wife follows.
The ninth elder brother immediately stood up, got out of the carriage, and called to the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother: "Fourth elder brother, seventh elder brother, let's go quickly, don't delay, I'm still waiting for Khan Ama to praise me!"
The fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother were too lazy to pay attention to him, so they dismounted and prepared to enter the yard.
The group was at Xiaodongmen.
Brother Jiu took two steps, then turned back to urge Shu Shu, saying: "Come back quickly, while the sun is still bright, you can still bask in the child."
child……
Shu Shu didn't dare to delay and said hurriedly: "Then I'll go back first, Akdan is going to cry!"
After saying this, Brother Jiu felt uneasy and said: "Come back soon, it's hot, don't get angry from crying!"
Shu Shu lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the carriage left the small east gate and went to the elder brother's house.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and asked worriedly: "Is Akdan uncomfortable?"
If that really happens, the doctor must be sent to him as soon as possible without any delay.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, he just starts to recognize people. Every time he wakes up, he looks for Eni and cries when he can't find him. He just looks at him when he is young. If he is older, he will be beaten twice a day. He will be beaten no matter what. Change the problem!"
Brother Si disapproved and said, "Just be reasonable when the time comes. I don't want to beat the children."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the fourth elder brother, then glanced at the seventh elder brother, and said: "How many times have you two been your ama, and have you never fought?"
Fourth elder brother said: "Honghui is sensible..."
The seventh elder brother said: "Hongshu is honest..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Then why am I the one doing this crying dumpling?"
Fourth Brother glanced at him and said, "Children can't speak, so they will cry when things don't go their way. Who doesn't cry? Just be patient and wait until you learn to speak."
The seventh elder brother was too lazy to talk to the ninth elder brother.
Sui Gen'er, if he doesn't do it, who will?
The brothers entered Changchun Garden and went to Qingxi Bookstore.
Before he could reach him, he saw someone coming out of the check-in room next to him.
It's the third elder brother.
The third elder brother's eyes circled around the three people's faces, and he focused on the ninth elder brother. Seeing that he didn't look anxious, he breathed a sigh of relief, but with worry, he said: "Is Akedun okay? Listen to yourself I found out that he was seriously ill, so I was worried and wanted to come over and ask for news..."
This is my brother.
The fourth elder brother said: "The imperial doctor prescribed medicine to clear the internal organs and clear away the heat. The high fever has subsided, and the princess stayed in the palace to take care of her."
Although he arrived a step late, he also knew that Brother Jiu had helped, and just to prevent trouble, he ignored the matter.
The third elder brother nodded and said: "That's good. Speaking of which, it's not just the eldest son of the prince, but also the eldest grandson of Khan Amma. What's the difference..."
Just like his poor brother, if he were still around, he would be the real eldest brother. How could it be the boss's turn to be so arrogant?
Although Brother Ninth had helped out today, he still disliked Akedun very much and curled his lips after hearing this.
The appearance of such an emperor's eldest grandson is too poor.
Shameful!
It can't add luster to Yuqing Palace, and it can even hinder it.
With such a brother standing there, Hongxi, whose "smartness" surpassed that of his cousins, could not get up.
Thinking this way, Brother Jiu felt much more comfortable, and his face also showed joy.
A blessing in disguise is a blessing, how can you know that it is not a disaster?
It's good to leave Aktun to trouble the prince.
At this moment, the fourth elder brother had already told the messenger eunuch at the door that he wanted to see him.
The eunuch went in to report.
It's a hot summer day, so the windows of Qingxi Bookstore are open. Although we can't hear anything going on outside, we can still see a few brothers staying there.
Kangxi nodded and said: "Send Sibeile, Qibele and Ninth Brother to come in."
The eunuch went out in response and delivered Kangxi's oral instructions.
Fourth elder brother, seventh elder brother and ninth elder brother responded and entered Qingxi Bookstore.
The third elder brother was a little embarrassed.
Why didn't you send him a message? !
Then he came to his senses and saw that the three people had come to return their lives, and they had just been invited by the eunuch.
I am just waiting here, waiting for news from Yuqing Palace, and I haven't said anything about the meeting with your Majesty yet.
It's too late to tell now...
In Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi glanced at Brother Ninth and Brother Seven, feeling a little dissatisfied with them.
The ninth elder brother didn’t know how to avoid suspicion and kept things secret, and the seventh elder brother was the same. He didn’t stop him and got harassed...
Now was not the time to discipline his son, Kangxi looked at his fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother didn't hide it this time, and told the ninth elder brother that he had gone over to help with the fever.
By the time he brought the imperial doctor there, most of Akdun's fever had subsided.
The imperial doctor directly prescribed a prescription to remove the heat, and the medicine was administered smoothly. The remaining fever also subsided. Now just clear the stomach and intestines and rest.
Kangxi nodded, relieved.
He didn't like Aktun, but Aktun was the prince's eldest son after all.
The prince has no legitimate son, so in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest son has a different meaning.
Now that the prince valued his second son, Kangxi did not agree.
That was Aktun's half-brother, which was inappropriate.
It just depends on what the prince wants. The third elder brother of Yuqing Palace has ordinary qualifications.
Therefore, Kangxi planned to comply with the princess's request and add people to Yuqing Palace during the draft next year.
But Brother Ninth...
He still couldn't help but lecture: "You're not a doctor. Since I'm asking you about ways to reduce fever, you can just tell me. Why are you going to cause trouble? Why did I bring you Fujin with me?"
Although Mr. Dong E had finished his two months of confinement, he looked weak and obviously needed some time to rest.
The ninth elder brother said: "That time, the fourteenth elder brother had a high fever and it was easy to reduce the fever. This time is different. The soju reduces the fever. It doesn't bother adults, but it is also dangerous for children. After all, it is the alcohol that kills people in panic." , the child has tender flesh and develops a rash; the fever recedes quickly, he is prone to swaying, catching colds, and the fever will become more severe later. He is just passing on the message, and the imperial doctor cannot deal with it if it is unclear, for fear of delay..."
Kangxi knew this, but he still felt that Brother Jiu was a little short-minded.
Is this vindictiveness?
If you don’t give me a few eggs, it’s easy to get into trouble, and I can’t think of my past grudges...
The fourth elder brother still remembers what the ninth elder brother said at the door. He can't really discipline him, as he will be cold-hearted in the future.
It's not a bad thing to have one more person with such an innocent heart among brothers.
He changed his words and said: "Khan Ama, this method of reducing fever with soju is really effective. You can ask Tai Hospital to promote it. High fever is dangerous, not only for children, but also for adults. When the seasons change every year, people often Sometimes the epidemic causes high fever..."
This was a serious matter related to people's livelihood. After Kangxi heard this, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Why can soju reduce fever? How is it better than warm water?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while, looked at Liang Jiugong, and said, "Excuse me, Shuida, please bring me a bottle of soju and tell me directly that I don't understand."
Liang Jiugong looked at Kangxi, saw Kangxi nodded and retreated.
Brother Jiu said: "The soju is not strong enough. It is useless when it is really burned. The alcohol has to be evaporated several times. That one will reduce the fever quickly, but as my son just said, it will cause panic and rash; there are also Even if it is intoxicating, don’t drink it in your stomach, or smell it too much. You have to prevent people from being drunk to death. The third thing you need to be careful about is that the fever goes away too quickly, which can easily hurt people, cause cold symptoms, and even more so when the fever returns. It’s dangerous, it’s because of these trivial things that my son doesn’t dare to let go…”
The word "alcohol" was not unfamiliar to Kangxi.
During the northern tour the year before last, the eldest brother and the fifth brother encountered a bear in the paddock. The fifth brother hurt his face, so Dong E steamed the wine several times to produce alcohol.
After Kangxi, people also saw it. It was extremely strong wine, and after half a sip, your stomach would burst into flames.
This kind of strong liquor should be the most suitable for Mongolians.
There was originally insufficient food, and Zhili issued a ban on alcohol. Kangxi was worried that it would be ineffective, so he did not ask people to prepare alcohol, thinking that it would be similar to spirits.
Now when Brother Jiu said this, he realized that alcohol was alcohol and could not be replaced by soju.
He looked at Wei Zhu and said, "Go to my brother's office and ask Jiu Fujin for a bottle of alcohol."
Wei Zhu agreed and was about to retreat.
Brother Jiu quickly called to Wei Zhu and said, "Just take one bottle, don't take too much."
Wei Zhu responded: "Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, the emperor also ordered a bottle."
Brother Jiu felt relieved and nodded: "Go ahead..."
Then, he explained to Kangxi: "Khan Ama, it's not that my son is stingy, but the family has prepared four bottles in case Fengsheng and the others use them. Today I went to Yuqing Palace and got two bottles..."
Kangxi nodded.
This is also rare, not an ordinary thing. Two bottles can be given to Yuqing Palace. Jiu Age is good, and Dong E's family is also good.
Brother Jiu is a bit clumsy and can't say nice things, but he is soft-hearted.
Even though it was Aktun who was seriously ill and had a problem with him, he did not sit idly by.
At this time, Liang Jiugong had already brought up a tray with two wine bottles and several wine cups, and said: "Your Majesty, these are two kinds of shochu, one is ordinary shochu, and the other is Erguotou from Nancheng's Yuanshenghao" , relatively strong..."
Kangxi nodded and looked at Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu stepped forward and poured a cup of Erguotou.
The drink looks clear, but the taste is very strong, not as good as alcohol, but it still looks good.
The ninth elder brother held the wine cup, looked at the fourth elder brother and the seventh elder brother and said, "Can you please roll down your sleeves, show your arms, and give it a try..."
Brother Si said: "I'll do it..." As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and exposed his arms.
He looked at Brother Ninth and was slightly satisfied. Finally he was not stupid enough and went directly to the emperor's father to check.
Brother Jiu poured half a cup of wine on it and spread it with his hands.
Fourth Brother immediately noticed the difference and looked at his arm.
They were on their way on horseback just now. Although it was evening, it was still a little hot.
He wore several more layers on his body. He was covering himself so much that his whole body was hot.
Now my arms feel like the wind is blowing, which makes them feel much cooler.
There was a lot of wine on his arms that was visible to the naked eye.
"Did the wine fly?"
Brother Si asked: "Does the reduction of high fever have anything to do with this?"
Brother Jiu said: "Brother, I think it has something to do with it. It's the fever that has gone away. Can you touch it and see if it's cooler than other places?"
Brother Si touched it and found that the hot and cold areas were much different between the areas where the wine was stained and the areas where the alcohol was not.
Kangxi stood up, walked over, and touched it with his fingers.
Then, he looked at the wine cup in Brother Jiu's hand and said, "Come on, I'll try it too."
Brother Jiu didn't stop him. It would be fine if he just wiped his whole body, let alone just so casually.
Seeing that Kangxi had rolled up his sleeves, Brother Jiu poured the remaining half cup of wine.
Kangxi also understood the principle of reducing fever.
In fact, it has the same effect as wiping with warm water.
Wiping the body with warm water also cools down the body. This is faster than that, and the cooling force is much stronger.
No wonder Lao Jiu was so scrupulous about this method of reducing fever that he did not dare to directly send a message to the imperial physician.
Such a strong smell of alcohol would make even a light drinker drunk, let alone a child.
Also, if the fever subsides quickly, it is indeed easy to catch a cold and worsen the condition.
He looked at Brother Ninth and praised him in his heart. He was sometimes attentive.
Alcohol can indeed be included in the imperial pharmacy reserve.
But alcohol is also the true essence of wine.
It is obtained by distilling shochu several times, which consumes more food.
What's the alternative?
At this moment, Wei Zhu also came back and took a bottle of alcohol.
I did a simple test and found that the cooling rate is indeed faster than that of Erguotou.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth and said: "You are on lockdown and have time to read books. Look for books on winemaking in previous dynasties to see if you can find a method of winemaking that does not cost food..."
Brother Jiu's face immediately showed pride and he said: "This son has already thought about it..."
Having said this, he looked at Si Age and said: "Fourth Brother, potatoes are high-yielding. You can use them to make wine, but it is not a serious food and may not taste good. What my brother was thinking before was that when potatoes are popularized, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will open a few places. Officials cook pots, use potatoes to make wine, and then sell them directly to Mongolia and exchange them for wool and cowhide. They use it to keep away the cold. They like all kinds of spirits. The rest can be used to evaporate alcohol and prepare military supplies and the imperial pharmacy. …”
The potatoes in Huangzhuang are planted in early March and can start growing in mid-to-late June.
Brother Si's eyes lit up, this is a good way to promote potatoes.
As long as they can be exchanged for money, people are willing to plant it.
Kangxi heard the words "official roasted pot".
The additional word "official" is also very straightforward.
Like the cashmere weaving field, it will become one of the "open source" industries of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When he looked at Brother Jiu, he felt more loving.
This son talks about money all day long, but he is actually not a stingy person.
Otherwise, as the prince, he could directly arrange for his disciple Bao Yi to open a few wineries in other places where cooking pots are not allowed, and that would be a steady stream of money.
But he was public-minded and thought about the income of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Before, Kangxi was still hesitant about whether to let Brother Nine return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the affairs of the Accounting Department were over.
He's eighteen, not too young. If he goes to the former court to learn errands, he can also take a turn at Xiaojiuqing Yamen first.
Now it seems that it is better to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and stay in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as they can move around...
