Brother Jiu was simply astonished.
"They went to Jiangnan to buy property? So far?"
After he finished asking, he came to his senses and said, "That's right. If ginseng doesn't dare to be sold in the capital, then it's definitely Jiangnan..."
Jiangnan was prosperous and had a large population of gentry.
Kangxi nodded and said: "He has a wife, Qingbao, who settled directly in Hangzhou..."
Brother Jiu asked puzzledly: "But what about household registration? If you are a bannerman in Beijing, you cannot leave Beijing without any reason. If you are a bannerman in Shengjing, you cannot leave Shengjing..."
Kangxi's eyes were filled with gloom.
The reason why he arranged for Gao Yan to go down was because he wanted to find out what was going on.
If there was no one to cover it up, Qingbao would not be able to establish a foothold in Hangzhou, but they just don’t know how much the Jin family is involved.
Brother Jiu whispered: "Khan Ama, are you sending people to Daling River? Others don't know, but the old man should know the inside story. For the sake of his children and grandchildren, why is he so stubborn and silent?"
Kangxi waved his hand and said: "As long as you know about this, don't ask anymore. I will fill Gao Yanzhong's vacancy tomorrow and send him out of the capital. Cao Shun can follow him and take care of him..."
Brother Jiu thought of the other yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said: "Khan Ama, we can't find anything through such an open inspection, so the three major weaving companies will not be moved for the time being?"
Kangxi glanced at him and said, "How do you want to move?"
Brother Ninth talked about the sheep woolen factory in the capital: "Too much wool has been shipped from Mongolia in recent years. Only cashmere and fine wool have been shipped to Jiangning. The rest are stored in the Tongzhou warehouse. There were three warehouses, so my son thought about it and asked the three major weaving companies to send some dyers and weavers to work in Beijing. For a year and a half, they would set up the stalls in Beijing and then let them out. There was Jiangning Cashmere Farm in front, and they would come again. It’s just once, it’s simpler. Then the bad wool will be made directly into felt, and the good wool will be made into cloth, which can be used to supply military supplies or sold to Mongolia..."
There was something about the cashmere farm, and Kangxi felt that it was reliable when he heard this, and said: "Write a statement..."
Brother Jiu agreed and retreated from Qingxi Bookstore.
Yes, once ginseng is grown, it must be sold.
Have they all been sold in Jiangnan?
Really not necessarily.
There are many wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many noble people in the capital.
Jingcheng people like to add ginseng to their health regimen, and the price is higher than that of Jiangnan.
The Guo Luoluo family will not let go of such a large market.
Sold from Jiangnan and sold to the capital?
Brother Jiu thought about it and returned to the check-in room. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he wrote a letter to Ji Hong and asked him to inquire about the ginseng merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and the ginseng merchants in the north.
He looked so serious, which made Brother Twelve become even more silent, for fear of disturbing him.
When Brother Ninth put down his pen, he sealed the letter and handed it to Sun Jin, saying, "Go back to the city and deliver it to Ji's house."
Ji Hong had a private courtyard in the capital, and in Nancheng, he left several servants to look after the house.
Sun Jin agreed, took the letter and left.
The ninth elder brother remembered the post for the twelfth elder brother, picked it up and handed it to him, and then greeted the twelfth elder brother, and the two brothers left Changchun Garden.
After returning to Beifu Institute, I took the twelfth elder brother around the main courtyard. After meeting Shu Shu, the ninth elder brother took him to the front hall.
Shu Shu reminded him of this because the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers had left meals several times before.
Both of them look like adults. Even if they are not adults, it is not easy to be treated as children.
The twelfth elder brother has grown up here.
After the brothers had a simple lunch, Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow, Master will still be here. If you want to come out for some fresh air, come out. If you don't want to come out, just send Haha Zhuzi to run errands. I'll be there the day after tomorrow. I'll treat you the day after tomorrow. I won't go to the city." It’s so frustrating..."
Brother Twelve held the invitation, a little at a loss, and said, "Is everyone coming?"
Brother Jiu nodded and shook his head and said: "Creditors come, of course those who don't owe debts don't come."
The twelfth elder brother thought for a while, handed the invitation back, and said, "I don't count it. I will return it later when the ninth elder brother is richer."
Brother Jiu glared at him and said, "Why are you so cowardly? We are all brothers and no one else, so you will always be stuck in my brother's place!"
The twelfth elder brother choked and said: "This is close to the imperial palace..."
Brother Jiu was not angry and said: "So what? Even if Khan Ama comes to join in the fun, he will not only praise you for your good deeds, but also praise me for your generosity. I am still looking forward to him coming!"
The twelfth elder brother still wanted to hand over the invitation card. The ninth elder brother waved his hand and said: "Okay, Yehun said, and I didn't send an invitation to Khan Ama, so what's the point?"
Brother Twelve accepted the invitation this time.
Seeing that the twelfth elder brother was gone, the ninth elder brother returned to the main room and said: "The twelfth elder brother is getting better and better. He was not so afraid of people earlier. He just likes to have a droopy face. Now he looks like this." Hiding from people..."
Shu Shu thought about the treatment of social fear in later generations. Direct "desensitization treatment" was uncomfortable, but it could be done slowly.
She said: "I'm too shy. Please praise me more, arrange more errands, meet more people, and things will get better gradually."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I'm just too thin-skinned, and I'm not a big girl. If I'm afraid of meeting people, I should learn from Fourteen. People are crazy and have nothing to fear..."
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
The fourteenth elder brother came back from Wuyizhai and saw the ninth elder brother's post. He came over with the post and said: "Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, since it's the day after tomorrow, can we order some food? We must eat and drink well, so that everyone can Easy to talk to…”
Brother Jiu said disgustedly: "Is it okay to drink? Besides hawthorn water and sour plum soup, what else do you want to drink, and are you not afraid of holding on?"
The fourteenth elder brother looked at Shu Shu and said in a flattering manner: "Sister-in-law Ninth, the watermelon is ready, can you add some watermelon juice?"
It turned out that in addition to the invitation, he also saw a watermelon.
Half a cart of watermelons, about thirty in total.
Five were given to the Garden Dining Room, five were given to the North Garden, and then one was given to the Tuoyuan Bookstore, leaving four Hechi Houses, and then there were the Nantou House, the South Third House, the North Second House, the North Third House, and the North Fourth House. One each and two in the North Sixth Institute.
There are only seven or eight left here in Shushu.
She thought for a while and said: "There are not many watermelons left. I guess I can only leave two for juicing..."
The fourteenth elder brother immediately said: "That's enough. Just the younger brother and the thirteenth brother are younger. The other adult brothers can drink peach wine and wine!"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Okay, then add watermelon juice."
Brother Fourteen was thinking about yesterday's roast lamb and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth, let's bake more of that sweet roast lamb. It's even better if we replace it with lamb chops!"
】
Before Shu Shu answered, Brother Jiu was already impatient and waved his hand: "Go away, why don't you go to the restaurant and order food? You can eat whatever is available, no picking!"
The fourteenth elder brother looked at Shu Shu pitifully and said, "This is my brother and sister-in-law's house, not somewhere else?"
In fact, it is easier to prepare for the banquet if someone takes orders.
Shu Shu was very tolerant and said: "Okay, add the grilled lamb chops with honey sauce."
The fourteenth elder brother did not dare to be nagging anymore and left with satisfaction.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't get too used to it and turn around to kick your nose and face..."
Shu Shu said: "Three or four dining rooms are not complete, and it is a time when I am growing tall. There is no place to order food except us!"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "That's true. The food from Brother 4's side is probably given to me for free, and he won't eat it either."
Shu Shu was thinking about how to prepare the table for the 20th, but Brother Fourteen came over to "order" and gave her a hint.
She called Xiaotang and said: "Draw up a list of the dishes that can be made in the kitchen now, copy a few more, and send Sun Jin around tomorrow to let the brothers order their own dishes..."
Brother Jiu was standing by and asked, "Isn't it too troublesome?"
It's good if everyone can eat well, drink well, and enjoy themselves, but if it's too much trouble, forget it.
The money is in place, the friendship is included, and there is no shortage of food.
Shu Shu said: "There are still several days to prepare. All the ingredients are available now, so it won't be a hassle..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu didn't care about it and said, "When will we go to the North Garden?"
Shu Shu glanced at the clock and said: "Shen Zheng went there before and lived next to each other. We are not outsiders, so we shouldn't delay it too late..."
Brother Jiu looked at the prince's auspicious clothes hanging on the hanger and asked, "Is it too hot to wear this?"
Xia Ji wore clothes with an azure-colored gauze bottom. The color looked dark, but in fact it was transparent and crisp, making it more comfortable to wear in summer.
However, having to wear a shirt under it is still a bit stuffy compared to regular clothes.
Shu Shu said: "Fortunately, it's just a few steps on the road to bask in the sun, just hold a parasol. When we get to the Queen Mother's Palace, it will be nice to have an ice basin."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt uneasy and called He Yuzhu and said: "Go to the ice cellar to send a message. Just tell me what I said. There is a banquet in the North Garden today. The ice at the Queen Mother Palace will be doubled today. At the banquet hall , put more ice basins and change them frequently."
He Yuzhu agreed and went down to deliver the message.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Why is it so hot? It will be fine when it cools down in the evening."
Brother Jiu said: "It's better to be careful. The Queen Mother is getting older, and you are the most afraid of heat..."
The couple took a look at the child and then took a nap in the afternoon.
When Shu Shu woke up, it was already Shen Chu.
Brother Jiu has already gone to the garden.
Walnut stepped forward and said, "Master Jiu ordered the kitchen to boil hot water and prepare it for Fujin to bathe."
When Shu Shu woke up, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply took a shower, changed her clothes, and put on a velvet Jifu crown.
Today they are accompanying guests, so they can serve as a background, and they should not overwhelm the guests.
At this moment, Shifu Jin came over.
The clothes of the two sisters were exactly the same. Shi Fujin circled around Shu Shu several times before covering his face and saying, "If we don't wear the same clothes, we can't compare. Once we wear the same clothes, I don't want to eat any meat!"
The Abahai tribe is located in the north of the Great Wall, which is cooler than the capital, and Shifujin also has some bitter summers.
Shu Shu said: "Then take advantage of the bitter summer and have an ordinary appetite, and take good care of yourself..."
"Uh-huh……"
Shifujin nodded.
At this moment, Qi Fujin sent Haitang over.
"Nine Fujin, Ten Fujin, our Fujin asked if we can leave? Our master is out, and so is San Fujin."
Shi Fujin looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu nodded, pulled Shi Fujin and said: "Let's go..."
