My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1042 Brothers

Not only the tenth elder brother and the others couldn't go to Hongluo Temple for the time being, but even Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother also canceled their plan to go to Baiwang mountain.

The next day, the ninth elder brother asked someone to prepare a mount, and he rode honestly, and left the elder brother's house with the tenth elder brother.

It's one thing not to like riding a horse, but it's another thing to show your "falseness".

Seeing this, Elder Brother Shi said, "Why don't you let the carriage pick you up in the afternoon, it will be hot at that time..."

Brother Nine thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's pretend to be honest these few days, wait until the third brother comes out of the clan mansion, otherwise who knows where the evil fire of Khan Ama is going..."

Elder Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth went to intercede yesterday? What did Ama Khan say?"

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "It looks like you're holding back your fire, and you're still scolding Master, so just scold me, don't be afraid of minor scolding, just don't save money."

He admired the fourth brother a little.

This trick of "retreating to advance" is really good.

Ninth elder brother whispered to tenth elder brother: "Fourth brother is not as straightforward as he looks, he has a lot of eyes."

Elder Brother Ten said: "Think about Fourteen, you really deserve a beating, and you are really clever. How can this one come out of a mother's belly?"

Brother Jiu couldn't help but look down at his belt when he heard this, and said, "You can't say that, there is a big difference between Master and Fifth Brother, how can Fifth Brother be as smart as Master?"

Brother Ten smiled.

Brother Nine doesn't count what he says, it depends on what other people say.

In the eyes of others, the two brothers still have many similarities.

When they arrived at Xihua Gate, the two brothers said goodbye.

Brother Jiu didn't wait to enter the door before he realized something was wrong.

Today, the guard academy and the guards who guard the gate seem to be extraordinarily honest, not to mention standing still, their faces are also tense, looking like clay sculptures.

The atmosphere is wrong.

Brother Jiu stopped in his tracks, looked at the military academy and said, "Sheng Jia returned to the palace? Did you come back this morning?"

Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.

The military academy nodded, then shook his head and said, "I came back last night."

Brother Jiu thought of the officials who were waiting outside Qingxi Bookstore yesterday afternoon, no wonder the person he was going to meet this morning was moved to yesterday, it turned out that Sheng Jia had returned to the palace.

Came back because of the third child?

You don't have to be so serious, do you?
Brother Nine was at a loss.

When he arrived at the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he saw several people waiting outside the guard room.

In addition to Zhang Baozhu, the doctor of the hall, there is also a thin man with a dark face, who is the doctor of Guangchu Division;

"Ninth Master..."

Seeing Brother Nine arrived, all three of them felt a little anxious.

Brother Jiu saw how trembling they were, and said, "What's the big deal? Blocking the door early in the morning?"

The two men did not rush to answer, but looked at Zhang Baozhu.

Zhang Baozhu said: "Master Jiu, Zhongcui Palace was closed last night, Concubine Rong was demoted to be a concubine, and concubine Shu and Seventeen Gege have moved to Qixiang Palace!"

Brother Jiu was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while.

I just told Shu Shu yesterday that Khan Ama missed his old love, and today is the news.

Who would have thought that there would be changes in this stable four-concubine pattern!

After a while, he wondered, "What is the reason for the demotion?"

Zhang Baozhu said: "Indulge your relatives and relatives to be greedy for ink, and let the eunuchs around you communicate with the mother..."

Brother Jiu looked at the owner of the imperial dining room and knew why he had a bitter face.

The Ma family's inspection this time came from the imperial dining room.

Brother Jiu glanced at him, and said: "Don't worry about the sky all day long, just do your job well, this is the aftermath of the former accountant's nest case, it has nothing to do with you, remember the words of the master, if someone else divides the case every day If you reach out, you must be prepared to have your claws chopped off."

The owner of the imperial dining room hurriedly said: "I wrote it down, I must keep an eye on it, I came here just to ask Master Jiu to make an idea, the daily supply of Zhongcui Palace..."

In fact, among the harem, both the concubine and the concubine are the head of the first palace, and the daily supply of the two is not very different, but there is a slight difference in filing.

For example, the concubine has nine catties of pork per day, the concubine six and a half catties of pork per day; Two, two liang of white sugar, etc.

Brother Nine frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Still supply according to concubine's position, record according to concubine's position, keep accounts for the difference in between, the accounts must be clear, and let the third master make up later."

When it comes to the daily division, he also understands the reason for the appointment of Guangchusi.

Apart from the imperial dining room, it is the Guangchu Division that supplies the inner court supplies every day, such as daily supply of charcoal, candles, ice, etc.

He looked at Guangchusi Langzhong and said, "You came here for this too?"

The doctor nodded and said: "That's right, the servant is not sure how to act..."

If you want to change to an ordinary concubine, there is no reason to hesitate, as the division will rise and fall according to the status.

But this person's qualifications are too old, and there is an adult elder brother who has been named Baylor.

Don't look at the mess, it seems that they all rushed together, but can the emperor dispose of his own son for the sake of dressing?

Brother Jiu said: "It's the same as the imperial dining room, the difference in the middle is recorded in the account, and the third master will send the money later, and it will be directly paid to the account."

The doctor agreed, and left the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs with the owner of the imperial kitchen.

It's good to have someone call the shots.

However, Jiuye's behavior is really open.

Whether it's sincere or fake, this gesture of raising your hand is really good.

The two looked at each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't change any more, I hope that this master will be the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that everyone can calm down...

Brother Nine entered the guard room, but he was not as calm as he was in front of his subordinates just now, and he walked around like a headless chicken.

It's all down to the point of demotion, what exactly did Concubine Rong do?

Elder Brother Twelve was beside him, and said: "Brother Ninth, does it have something to do with Ma's meddling in the supply of Yuqing Palace and Ningshou Palace?"

Brother Nine looked at Brother Twelve and remembered this.

He patted his forehead.

Self-care is messed up.

Didn't the emperor say that he would punish the two concubines?
It seems that in addition to encroaching on the daily supplies of the prince and princess, the chief eunuch and the nuns of the Zhongcui Palace were also accused of "communicating news", so the emperor's father demoted Concubine Rong...

Probably?

Brother Jiu had a guess, but felt relieved, looked at Zhang Baozhu, and said: "It's fine as usual, the inner court affairs have nothing to do with us."

Zhang Baozhu agreed, put down the official documents that needed to be processed and went out.

Brother Nine said to Brother Twelve: "You are dealing with common affairs, Master, I will go to the clan's mansion, if Qixiang Palace comes, you can support me, there should be seventeen Gege and concubines cleaning up there today. room."

These people were moved from Zhongcui Palace to Qixiang Palace, and the necessary furnishings should have been available before, and the incomplete parts must be made up, because they will be included in the Qixiang Palace booklet.

The twelfth elder brother agreed, and the ninth elder brother rushed to the yamen of the clan's mansion.

The yamen of the Zongren Mansion is on the east side of Qipan Street, separated from the yamen of the Ministry of Households by the yamen of the Ministry of Officials.

When passing the yamen of the Ministry of Households, Brother Nine slowed down, hesitating whether to ask Brother Four, after thinking about it, he decided to see Brother Ten first.

As a result, the fourth elder brother was here with the tenth elder brother, not only him, but the eldest elder brother and the fifth elder brother also came over.

If Brother Shan San was alone, everyone wouldn't be in such a hurry, but now that even Concubine Rong has been demoted, who can stand it?
They were going to ask the third elder brother how he offended the imperial father.

Brother Jiu saw that everyone was complete, and said: "Everyone is scared, right? My younger brother was also worried just now..."

The elder brother said: "What did the palace say?"

Even if the ninth elder brother can't come, everyone will go to the ninth elder brother after asking the third elder brother.

Brother Jiu told the news he had just heard, and also his own guess, saying: "It should still be implicated by the Ma family, it is related to Ningshou Palace and Yuqing Palace, and the Ma family is only punished for not being enough. "

Big Brother's face is not good-looking.

He felt that Ningshou Palace was a cover, and the key was Yuqing Palace.

In order to maintain the face of Yuqing Palace, the imperial father didn't even give Concubine Rong's face...

The fourth elder brother was also in a heavy mood, he knew that the so-called greedy Ningshou Palace and Yuqing Palace provided inside information, and he felt something was wrong.

Even if Concubine Rong is the real agent of the Ma family's wealth collection, and Concubine Rong takes up most of the money, she will not deal with it like this. After all, Princess Rongxian and the third elder brother still have the dignity.

Being able to deal with it like this shows that there is something worse than collecting money, and it is related to Yuqing Palace. What is that?
The fourth elder brother couldn't think of it for a while, anyway, it was about private affairs, which made the emperor intolerable.

The fifth elder brother was kind-hearted, and he said: "This... the punishment is too heavy. How can the imperial concubine know what's going on outside? Besides, shouldn't she be considered a married woman? How can she be implicated?"

He was also afraid that with such a precedent, if Guo Luoluo's family relapsed, it would also implicate his own mother.

Elder Brother Ten did not comment.

The palace hasn't stopped in the past two years, it's just that everyone hasn't connected things together.

The disposal of Suo'etu and Tong Guowei in the first month of last year was due to the evidence of meddling in court affairs; the current concubine Rong's demotion should also have evidence of meddling in the affairs of Yuqing Palace.

But is the consequence serious or not?

If it is serious, Concubine Rong will not only be demoted to concubine, she will still be the lord of the first palace, and she will not go to the honorary title.

If it's not serious, Zhongcui Palace will be closed.

He looked at a few people and said, "I'll go to Third Brother's place to have a look, and ask if everyone can go over and have a look..."

The elder brother said: "Go quickly, tell him about the seriousness, let him know the truth, now is not the time to be willful."

In the palace, "the child is more expensive than the mother", but also "the mother is more expensive than the son".

They grew up in a situation where "the child is more precious than the mother". Now that they have grown up, they should also feed back the crows, learn to take responsibility, and protect their biological mothers.

Elder Brother Shi nodded and made a note, and went to the quiet room of the clan mansion.

This is a separate room, in the northeast corner of the courtyard of the clan mansion.

San Fujin came here yesterday afternoon, bringing bedding, mosquito nets, and a change of clothes.

Prince Jane is not of a Canadian temperament, and will not really make people suffer just because the prince is in trouble.

Three ups and downs, who can tell clearly.

Therefore, Brother San's house had been swept and cleaned in an emergency before, and it seemed to be fairly clean. Apart from the toilet, there were also all kinds of washstands.

The third elder brother is in big characters, lying on the kang, staring at the roof, staring at the roof, with uncombed hair and unwashed face, very unconstrained...
