After hearing this, Brother Ninth was very excited. He hugged Brother Sixteen and said, "Okay, our little Sixteen is not only smart, but also has good eyesight!" Brother Sixteen nodded with a smile, his dark eyes round and round. Naughty voice said: "Sister-in-law Jiu looks good, and there is delicious food!" Brother Jiu glanced at his belly, patted it, and said: "Oh, it's already bulging like this, and I still miss the food." ?" Although they are brothers and two years younger, the sixteenth elder brother is heavier than the fifteenth elder brother. He has a puffy face, a baby bump, and a tight little gown.
The sixteenth elder brother put his arms around the ninth elder brother's neck and said: "No one can live without food. The elder brother said that in the past few years, the vegetables brought by the Northern Patrol were cabbage stir-fried with lard, celery stir-fried with lard, etc. It means boiled cabbage, boiled celery, or pickled vegetables. Since last year, the rules have changed. There are vegetables soaked in oil, spicy stir-fried ones, and crispy fish. It’s delicious!” Brother Jiu said proudly: "This is all my fault. The imperial kitchen doesn't dare to do anything casually." The sixteenth elder brother said again: "The third elder brother also praised you, saying that the milk tea powder saves trouble and you can get it in one shot!" The ninth elder brother chin He raised his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just carefulness." Brother Sixteen continued, "Brother Five said that you are an adult, and it's all because of Sister Ninth." Brother Nine didn't like hearing this, and shook his head: " What the fifth brother said is wrong. I have grown in vain at this age? Now that I am so old, my designation is different from when I was a child. This contribution... well... one person should take half of the credit!" The sixteenth brother nodded and said, "The eighth brother also said the same, and he even praised me. Brother Ninth has been sincere to others since he was a child." Brother Ninth curled his lips, what did this mean?
Beat Xiao Chicheng, is he no longer Chicheng? Can I still be a fool for the rest of my life? However, Bage didn't mention Shu Shu in his words, but he seemed to be dissatisfied with Shu Shu. He had to remember this.
Seeing the sixteenth elder brother talking about the eighth elder brother without mentioning the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, the ninth elder brother felt uncomfortable.
How can this pull people down from the beginning to the end? He asked: "Where are your Thirteenth Brother and Fourteenth Brother? Did you say anything?" The Sixteenth Brother nodded and said: "The Thirteenth Brother followed what the Eighth Brother said, saying that the Ninth Brother is also sincere and kind-hearted at the moment. Be considerate.”
"Hahahaha!" The ninth elder brother laughed and said: "Play with your thirteenth brother more in the future, and see how well your thirteenth brother can talk." The sixteenth elder brother said crisply: "Yeah, um, I'm happy too. Playing with Brother Thirteen, Brother Thirteen took me to ride a big horse." Brother Ninth said: "What about your Brother Fourteen? Are you here to praise me or to hurt me?" Brother Sixteen listened. , the steamed bun face is full of tangles.
Seeing the situation, Brother Ninth said seductively: "Don't hide it for him. To be honest, Brother Ninth will give you two kilograms of dried meat later!" Brother Sixteen immediately said: "Brother Fourteen said that Brother Ninth is good, Brother Three Part nine is because of Brother Ninth, seven points is because of Sister Ninth, and she also said that it would be nice if Sister Ninth had a sister..." Brother Fourteen happened to come out to wash up. When he heard this, he patted Brother Sixteen on the little head, He said: "Okay, you forgot that I took you to catch grasshoppers and roast rabbits. I sold my brother for two kilograms of dried meat!" The brothers were not very close to each other because of their age difference in the early years, but they have been together for a month and a half. Those who eat and live together have already become familiar with each other.
Brother Fourteen's attack was gentle and it didn't hurt. Brother Sixteen was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Then I will give one pound to Brother Fourteen!" Brother Fourteen nodded and said: "That's right, then I'll wait." Brother Ten was standing by, watching everyone laughing, and also He didn't answer, and only asked the fifteenth brother in a low voice about what he was doing along the way, the Mongolian princes who came to court, and so on.
At this time, Wei Zhu also came to send a message, and the brothers arrived in front of the emperor. The other princes and elder brothers have also arrived, not to mention those who are holding their breath, but few of the younger ones are so cheerful.
Kangxi looked at the younger ones, with more kindness in his eyes, and said: "Now that we have arrived at the palace, let's go over and see the progress of the construction!" The eldest brother said: "Just now, I saw from the outside that everything is almost ready. Next year Khan Ama When you come back from the northern tour, you can rest in the hot spring." Just take a dip and escape the cold outside the Great Wall.
The third elder brother felt like his heart, liver, and lungs were twitching. Don't dare to think, don't dare to think. Others will come if they like, but he doesn't want to come anyway, otherwise, he will miss the ninety thousand taels of silver that he didn't get!
Ninety thousand taels, six thousand kilograms, enough to make a silver man the size of his body. The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother.
Regarding the main hall of the Hot Spring Palace, Brother Jiu had mentioned it to him in private. Keeping it there is still considered as the prince's filial piety, and it is also his order.
For the emperor's father, this was the best. Otherwise, it would have seemed like the prince was at odds with the other princes.
In the eyes of the clan and civil and military ministers, this filial piety is nothing to show off. The father and son entered the palace. As Brother Jiu said, all the buildings were built, and the rest was to be repaired.
Therefore, you can probably see all the buildings. Each palace has a bathing pool, whether indoors or outdoors.
There are two places, both indoors and outdoors. This was something that the old palace did not have before. Kangxi looked at his ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu said: "I just wanted to soak in the hot spring indoors. It's been stuffy for a long time. It's much better outside. If it snows, it would be even better." He had never seen this before. He heard Fujin talking about it. There are ancient poets who recorded it. Naturally I also think this is good.
Kangxi wanted to reprimand him for the absurdity of soaking in hot springs outdoors. Even if he was naked, he would be prone to colds and colds, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them.
Shu Shuneng cited scriptures in the book, and Kangxi naturally also read relevant records. This geothermal hot spring is not only found in the north, but also in the southern provinces. They all have open-air hot spring bathing.
Although I haven’t personally soaked in one yet, it does feel pleasant to think about soaking in hot springs while drinking fermented wine in the snowy winter.
The eldest brother said from the side: "The yard is good. Next year I will also dig a pool outside the house." The ninth brother said proudly: "Our hot spring courtyard has not been built yet, but we have also designed a pool outside. ." In his and Shu Shu's yard, there was a situation of two soups, inside and outside.
The third elder brother said from the side: "It would be better if we plant a few more clumps of bamboos on the side and choose some round river rocks as seats." The ninth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and said, "You will say that you Say a few more words and ask the construction office to make the repairs according to this. The repairs look good, and Khan Ama is happy to see them." Third Brother said: "I just don't know if the bamboo from Hongluo Temple can survive here, and the hot spring water If there is sulfur, it won't work. It would be better to use other seedlings." Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "The bamboos in the capital are not just Guanyin bamboo. If you look back and look at the bamboos nearby, if they don't work, Then settle for the next best thing." Everyone left here and continued watching.
The fourteenth elder brother still remembered that this palace was everyone's filial piety, so he asked questions one by one. Brother Jiu remembered it clearly and told them one by one.
Halls, halls, residences, pavilions, pavilions and corridors are all complete in color. The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother followed everyone.
The fifteen-year-old brother is still an eight-year-old child, half grown up. Brother Sixteen's feet are not touching the ground, and he is taking turns in the arms of his brothers.
Except for Ninth Prince and the younger brothers, everyone else is a generation behind him. Regardless of whether they are genuine or not, they are willing to show kindness to their younger brothers in front of the emperor's father.
Kangxi saw this, and his expression became kinder. When he saw his fifteenth brother, Kangxi's eyes darkened.
This is also the youngest brother, but he was despised by his nephew because of the prince's negligence. He thought of the old events of Taizu's dynasty. Taizu was seriously ill and wanted to entrust his wife and children to Daishan.
As a result, before Taizu could speak, the concubine had already gone to please Daishan in private. Kangxi thought of marrying his concubine.
Fortunately, there is no young leader in his harem, and there is only one concubine who is young. Otherwise, it is impossible to say that there are really high-minded people who go to the East Palace with all their strength.
no
"Adoption" means to support him in the future. After going around in a circle, less than half an hour passed. Everyone left the palace, returned to the palace, and dispersed.
The third elder brother took the ninth elder brother and went to a secluded place and said, "Is there anything wrong with the Ma family?" He had received letters from the capital a few days ago, from the ninth elder brother's place and from the Sanbeile Mansion. of.
Since I was about to arrive in the capital, I didn't write a reply. Brother Jiu told the situation of the Shenxing Division and said: "It's summer, it's cool in the house, and you don't suffer, but in late autumn, the house is cold and cold, how can you stand it? If the clothes are not complete, I'm afraid it will Unable to survive, the doctor had no choice but to go to his younger brother's place. As for food and drink, it only cost a few taels of silver. He raised his hand and replaced him. He didn't mean to embarrass anyone and hurt the third brother's face; but there were no clothes here. The only way to find a solution is to wait for someone from outside to send it..." The third elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, I understand. When I return to Beijing, I will go and have a look. If there is no other evidence of crime, he will be punished as soon as possible." He was a little bit Disappointed.
To say that he was lucky at first, he was looking forward to the early end of the sealing of Zhongcuigong, but he no longer looked forward to it now.
The palace concubines and relatives not only complement each other, but also share weal and woe. The emperor's father treated the Ma family like this without caring about the dignity of their mother and son.
Brother Jiu saw it and comforted him: "Third brother, please don't make mistakes, because the Ma family complains about Khan Amma. You can do well with this distant relative. Khan Amma is a sensible person, no matter what mistakes the Ma family has made." , I won’t take my anger out on you, but if you have to tie yourself to your mother-in-law and complain about Khan Ama, Khan Ama will not spoil you." After hearing this, the third elder brother immediately became clear-headed. .
With the prince's lesson in mind, he couldn't commit the same crime... When the brothers separated, Brother Jiu hesitated and went to the imperial court.
About going to Yuqing Palace
He was reluctant to go into "debt collection" matters. Although this year's birthday gift for him was a generous gift from Yuqing Palace, as well as a Latin dictionary and a Western globe, all of which were rare items that could not be found in the market.
The person who came to give gifts was not someone else, but the top steward of Yuqing Palace. He was polite inside and outside his words.
But Brother Jiu could still feel that his politeness was arrogant. It's as if he glances at you lightly and doesn't want to argue with you.
Strangely boring.
