My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1240 You Shouldn't Choose This Time to Go Out

At noon the next day, Zhao Chang arrived with two imperial physicians.

There were ten guards accompanying him.

Zhao Chang went to the palace to greet Brother Jiu and sent Kangxi's reply letter.

Brother Jiu got impatient with waiting, so he opened the letter and read it immediately.

Seeing that Zhao Chang was asked to visit the princess in Karaqin, he handed Zhao Chang the piece of paper signed by the director.

Zhao Chang was born as a eunuch of Haha Zhuzi, and he could read and write. After reading it again, his expression didn't make much sense.

This is not an outsider. Brother Jiu said the reason why he sent people to Karaqin to buy grain. Because the head of the palace had less food and 100 more guards came, so there was a gap and grain was transferred from outside the pass. Such a large number is difficult to get out of the customs, and the Ministry of War has to go, so I arranged for people to go to Karaqin.

Zhao Chang nodded, and wrote down the matter, but Zhiqu didn't ask who was the person who went to Karaqin.

After having lunch in the palace, Zhao Chang and his party continued to set off for Karaqin.

Zhang Tingzan and Cao Yueying knew that Princess Duanjing was ill.

Cao Yueying felt that she had a little understanding of Brother Ninth's behavior. On the surface, she looked a little arrogant and playful, but in fact he was a considerate and benevolent son. No matter how sincere he was, the emperor would definitely like such a son.

Right now, the princes are all up to the eighteenth elder brother. It is not unusual for the ninth elder brother to be so hardworking.

Zhang Tingzan couldn't help but praise Brother Nine again to Cao Yueying, saying: "Although Master Nine is in the back, he loves brothers and sisters and has a pure heart, which is the most rare thing."

Cao Yueying was noncommittal, but felt that Zhang Tingzan was as simple-minded as he was, and probably more people were like him. He knew the true character of Brother Nine.

Great wisdom is like stupidity, nothing more than that.

It's just that there is no interest, and no one is going to reveal the true face of Brother Nine.

No matter what, we were going back to Beijing tomorrow, and everyone was looking forward to it.

It took half a month to go out on the fourth day of October.

With Cao Shun and Gao Bin watching, the luggage for the departure was fully packed.

It was still Gao Bin and Fu Qing who set off one day earlier to make arrangements for the journey.

That afternoon, the live animals in the palace, the remaining sheep, and some live roe deer and roe deer were all slaughtered in several barns.

Now that the weather is starting to freeze, the slaughtered meat can be frozen directly, so it is easy to carry.

As for those pigs, in order to save feed, they were all killed a few days ago, and they have run out of food.

For dinner, Shu Shu ate lamb tripe hot pot, which was stewed with vermicelli and lamb blood.

"It's as delicious as the sheep in the canyon, the meat is tender and not smelly..."

Shu Shu was satisfied after eating, and said to Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu said: "From now on, every winter, send people here to pull two carts of sheep shells back home, so that they can rest and eat slowly."

Shu Shu calculated the distance in his mind, and said: "It's better to ask someone to go outside the mouth, 380 miles, it's closer than here."

Brother Jiu heard this, and said: "No, I have to find a way, ask about the pastures outside the mouth, there are old-fashioned princes and nobles who have pastures, a total of thirty or forty, our family does not have any, and it is too late. It’s inconvenient, and I can’t always ask my father-in-law to buy cattle and sheep from there.”

In fact, Dong E's family also has an out-of-mouth pasture, which is the property of the government.

However, Qi Xi has had an embarrassing relationship with the government in the past two years. The cattle and sheep he bought before were not bought from Duke Dong's ranch, but from Prince Kang's ranch.

The princely pastures of the banners outside the mouth are all next to each other, and the red flags are all in one place.

Zhenghongqi Wanggong’s ranch has a total area of ​​more than 700 miles, of which Prince Kang’s Mansion covers 140 miles, Pingjun Prince’s Mansion covers 120 miles, Dong Gong’s Mansion covers [-] miles, and there are two other family ranches.

These pastures are all privately owned by the princes of the Eight Banners Xungui.

Shu Shu said: "Where is the prince above? Isn't there a ranch?"

Brother Jiu said: "The breeding ranch is allotted, and they all belong to the pasture of Shangsiyuan. The eldest brother and the others formally opened the mansion, and divided two horses, five hundred cows, and five thousand sheep, but these all belong to the farm. In the royal ranch, only the cattle and sheep bred every year can be used..."

When it comes to him and Elder Brother Ten, since they are not formally conferred and opened their residence, there is no such thing as herds.

Shu Shudao: "The cost of cattle and sheep can be stopped at a few hundred taels of silver a year. I don't need to talk about it specifically. It's so rare."

The husband and wife said that they were digressing, and they had to talk about Princess Duanjing again.

Brother Nine said: "It's really not to be taken lightly, not to be taken seriously, Khan Ama is not easy to discipline."

Shu Shu couldn't help but said: "Tell me, it's an overkill. Except for the first few princesses, the latter princesses are too restrained, they can't stand up, and they will marry Fumeng in the future. I don't know what the situation will be."

If he is still as tough as the princess in the Taizong dynasty, and he has repaired both the husband and the in-laws to be submissive, then the forehead son-in-law will not dare to have a child, and it will not be the princess's turn to be depressed.

Brother Jiu listened and went in, said: "Go back and pay attention, tell people to look at the people around the sisters, if there are people who control the master, they will all be kicked out."

Otherwise, it would be worrying to get married.

They were insulted and bullied, and what they lost was the dignity of the court and the royal family...

The night passed, and the next day everyone returned to Beijing from the palace.

After traveling ninety miles a day, it took two days to arrive at Gubeikou and enter the customs.

However, due to the heavy snowfall, the group rested in the Miyun Palace for two days and did not continue until the snow stopped.

In this way, it took the fourth day of the winter month to arrive in the capital, and it took a full month and a day before leaving the capital.

The chariots and horses entered the city before noon, and when they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Shu Shu let out a deep breath.

That's enough.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

When I was a retinue before, I felt less freedom, and everything was arranged by the accompanying officials, looking forward to the opportunity to travel alone.

As a result, I personally experienced this time, and my hair was about to fall out.

There are too many things to worry about.

When seeing Mrs. Uncle, Shu Shu didn't want to let go.

Mrs. Uncle frowned, touched her wrist and said, "Why did you lose weight when you went out?"

Shu Shu sighed and said: "The return journey is just in time for the small day, and I was separated by heavy snow in Miyun for two days, I have some cough, I didn't sleep well, anyway, it didn't go well."

Now that she is home, there is nothing she can't say, so she couldn't help but regret and said: "I didn't choose a good date. If June and July pass, and the summer heat can still be relieved, it will be the most comfortable time."

Mrs. Uncle said: "It's a beautiful idea. In summer, there are fewer mosquitoes in the lush vegetation? You did a tour of the east the year before last, so you don't have a long memory?"

Shu Shu doesn't want to recall.

I set off at the end of July the year before last. When I first left Beijing, the stinky elder sister flew into the house in a black and black way; when I got to the grassland, I changed the bank account, and the dense moths were hard to guard against.

Shu Shu stood up to be honest, hugged Mrs. Uncle's arm and said, "It's best at home."

Mrs. Uncle urged her: "Fresh and wash quickly and go to see Niguzhu, if you don't look at it again, I won't be able to remember you."

Shu Shu didn't delay, she washed up immediately and went to Ning'an Hall.

Brother Jiu also changed his clothes and followed Shu Shu over.

Niguzhu has been eight months and a few days old.

Seeing that he is happy or not quiet, he has already started to land on all fours, not to mention crawling, and crawling very fast.

The two nannies were by the side, keeping an eye on her, preventing her from falling off the kang.

Hearing the movement at the door, Niguzhu raised his head and looked over, his small mouth was open, and he could see the small white teeth below.

Seeing him, Brother Nine was filled with paternal love, hugged Niguzhu in his arms, looked at him curiously, and said, "Our eldest Gege is really amazing, he has teeth in just one month."

Ni Guzhu looked at Brother Nine with flickering eyes.

Brother Jiu couldn't help patting Lani Guzhu's little lips with his fingers, and showed Shu Shu his head: "Look at how powerful our Big Gege is, how white and neat our teeth are."

Shu Shu was also a little curious, seeing white spots on the gums on the top, and asked Mrs. Uncle, "Amu, is it growing on the top too?"

Mrs. Uncle nodded and said: "Well, half of it came out. It started when it snowed heavily a few days ago, and it burned for a day..."

"Ouch!"

Brother Nine was surprised.

It turned out that it was Niguzhu who bit the finger of Brother Jiu.

Mrs. Uncle was also startled, and hurriedly took Niguzhu from Brother Jiu's hand, and said: "Don't bite, carefully break your teeth!"

"Giggle cluck..."

Niguzhu saw someone he was familiar with, and put his chin on Mrs. Uncle's shoulder, smiling happily.

Shu Shu wiped Brother Jiu's hands with a handkerchief, and saw the marks of two millet teeth.

"It's a lot of energy, does it hurt?" Shu Shu asked.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, it's just a shock."

There are so many things on the road, and he still has to go to the imperial court to see him.

The husband and wife went back to the main courtyard after watching Niguzhu, had a simple lunch, and Brother Jiu went to the palace.

Shu Shu here, there is no need to enter the palace in advance, tomorrow is the day of greetings on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, just enter the palace normally.

She was tilted on the kang, holding a booklet sorted out by walnuts in her hand. It was a dozen or so carts of things brought back this time, a total of three categories.

One is frozen roe deer meat and roe deer meat.

This is all hunting in the palace, too much.

Especially during the days from 21st to 26th, when everyone had nothing to do, they hunted around the forty miles around the palace.

Then everyone doesn't like meat anymore.

The situation of several catties of meat per person the day before was gone, and everyone was a little injured.

Only six carts were left, which were brought back by Tuyi.

In addition, I ordered two carts of fish and shrimp from Miyun fishermen, and brought them with me when I came back.

Then there are the vegetables in the greenhouse in Changping. After about twenty days, another batch of vegetables came down, and two carts were loaded.

In this way, it is a good arrangement.

Except for the ones reserved in the palace, the rest is in the Dutong Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. Each house has two baskets of game, fish and shrimp, and Dongzi vegetables.

Shu Shu made a rough distribution, looked at Walnut and said, "You have to work hard for two more days, and you will enter the palace later, and go to the Dutong Mansion and the prince's mansions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and deliver things to Master Jiu for me..."

Walnut knows that this is grace.

Going out and about on weekdays is Madam Xing's errand.

This kind of special gift, who will let them come back empty-handed?

It is a must to reward a first-class seal.

This is to give her a fat job before she leaves the mansion, so that she can get some money to build a private house.

Walnut knelt down and agreed, very grateful...
