My father-in-law is Kangxi

Concubine Yi only asked this question and didn't say anything else.

Her heart was on fire.

If the emperor is not kind, he visited the seventeenth elder brother three times within a few days; if the emperor is kind, he just asked his son to use the new vaccine.

Concubine Yi felt a little stuck in her heart, remembering the incident between Brother Nine and Brother Ten who had the pox vaccination.

It's not just the two of them, the elder brother in front has planted it.

It was also during the two years when human pox was introduced to the capital.

By the time these mothers know, Elder Brother has already been sent to the acne clinic.

She sighed, looked at Shu Shu and said, "Lao Jiu said, will you give Feng Sheng and the others new vaccines?"

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, Master said that is safer."

Concubine Yi stopped talking and said: "Forget it, I understand."

She knew that she should trust the judgment of the emperor and brother Jiu, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Shu Shu didn't comfort her. Concubine Yi wouldn't feel at ease until Elder Seventeen came out of the acne clinic.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the east room again.

The seventeenth brother lay on the edge of the kang and made the house bigger, adding several windows.

Seeing Concubine Yi and Shu Shu coming back, he pointed to the new room and said: "Madam, my son has added a few more rooms, this one is for the fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law, and the other is for the ninth brother and the ninth sister-in-law. They are all big rooms. , even my nephews and nieces can live there.”

Concubine Yi caressed Elder Shi Qi's back, and said: "Okay, Shi Qi's room is really big and well built, and then we will all be lively together."

Brother Seventeen nodded with a smile.

Shu Shu and Wu Fujin looked at each other, feeling a little weird.

I always feel that Concubine Yi's reaction is too big.

If it was just to send Elder Seventeen to have the pox, it wouldn't be so sentimental...

Outside Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Nine is waiting to see you.

Just now, I went to the fifth institute to send a message to an unfamiliar eunuch, and it is not good for him to ask questions, otherwise it would be a taboo.

Is it for the Lantern Festival banquet?

It is a fixed rule every year, and people from the Lifan Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will watch over it, and there will be no mistakes.

Brother Nine was at a loss for a while.

He stood there for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't see any movement inside, but he was curious about who His Majesty was seeing now.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of it, and he looked familiar.

With a long face and single eyelids, he looks like he has a bit of official authority, like some dignitaries from other places who have come to Beijing.

Brother Jiu is still wondering who this person is, but the other party has already stepped forward, slapped Qian'er and said: "My slave, Ao Fuhe, has seen Lord Jiu, please be safe!"

The name sounds familiar.

Brother Jiu remembered, looked at him and said, "Master Jin, have you arrived in Beijing so soon?"

It turned out that this was no one else, it was Jin Yiren, the former Hangzhou Weaver, and this Ao Fuhe should be well-known.

This is not surprising, the Kim family is Koryo-coated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The coats of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all imported from the dragon, and there are many people who are full of customs.

Jin Yiren cupped his fists towards the study, and said: "I have been summoned by the emperor's master, so I dare not delay."

Brother Jiu said: "Your Excellency came back at just the right time. Khan Ama wants to build a palace in Rehe. After all, it is an imperial garden. Compared with Changchun Garden, it is only big or small. We need someone to coordinate this matter."

Jin Yiren said with restraint: "It is the duty of a slave to be able to serve the master."

The two were talking when Liang Jiugong came out and said, "Master Jiu, the emperor is uploading it."

Brother Jiu followed Liang Jiugong into the study.

Jin Yiren looked at the back of Brother Jiu, feeling unpredictable in his heart.

He knew that the House of Internal Affairs was currently unmanned, and Ma Qi and Hayartu were both named, but he didn't expect that the emperor would promote him.

He had a bad feeling.

It's just that the imperial guards who went down to pass the decree were quite a few, and they used the excuse to go north with their family.

The Jin family is not easy to dawdle, so they can only leave early.

All kinds of speculation along the way, very disturbing.

As a result, people were asked to go to Beijing in advance to inquire, only to know that the capital seemed to be peaceful in the past few years, but in fact there was an undercurrent.

There are signs of fighting among the princes.

Not only did the princes hold each other back, but even their wives did not end well.

The Jin family is the emperor's servants, although they have their own petty thoughts, they also know their weight, they are incomparable to those relatives.

Just now Jin Yiren wanted to test brother Jiu one or two, but he couldn't see anything.

That's right, returning to Beijing by myself should have nothing to do with Brother Jiu.

I heard that elder brother Jiu took advantage of the convenience of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to amass money wantonly and made millions of silver. The person who doesn't like to add a real chief should be elder brother Jiu.

Is that Cao Yin?

Or Li Xu?

Although the Jin family went to the south of the Yangtze River after the Cao family, the two generations of the Cao family had been separated for several years, but the Jin family passed on from father to son and directly controlled Hangzhou Weaving Mansion for more than 30 years.

Among the three families now, the Jin family will be the deepest in Jiangnan.

Only when the Jin family is squeezed out can those two families stand out.

It's okay if it's just a rivalry among colleagues, but I'm afraid that other things will come out.

Jin Yiren decided to go away with his old relatives for a few more days...

Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi met Brother Jiu, and directly ordered: "After the Lantern Festival, ask the construction department to repair the Fulaixuan behind the dormitory of Concubine Shuhui, and finish it as soon as possible."

Brother Nine heard this, but didn't respond immediately, but hesitated and said: "Ama, this spring is colder than usual. At this time, to repair the house, we can only do simple sweeping..."

Things like wall painting and painting must be thawed before they can be carried out. Otherwise, if you start work reluctantly, the effect will not be good, and the wall skin will fall off easily, and the color painting will fade.

Kangxi couldn't help frowning, and said, "When will the construction start?"

Brother Jiu said: "At the earliest, it will be the beginning of February. When the time comes to paint and dry things, the shortest is ten days, and the slowest is half a month, and the work is almost finished."

Fulaixuan is a house three rooms wide, with two wing rooms on the left and right, and a small courtyard with a corridor on the south.

Kangxi nodded and said: "Okay, then start the construction in early February, and after the repairs are completed, it will be laid out according to the example of the little elder brother moving the palace."

Brother Jiu nodded in agreement, and asked curiously: "Khan Ama, which royal family's little elder brother wants to be raised in the palace?"

In fact, he wanted to ask more about which clan member died.

Because it’s fine to raise the clan’s daughter in the palace, but to raise the elder brother directly. Most of them are like Naersu, the heir to the king and the heir to the country. There is no elder to teach, and he is raised in the palace.

Kangxi was not only the emperor, but also the patriarch of the Aixinjueluo family.

Kangxi looked at the ninth elder brother and said: "It's not the little elder brother outside the palace. After the seventeenth elder brother came out of the acne clinic, he was sent to be raised by Concubine Shuhui."

Brother Jiu had a look of surprise on his face.

Kangxi looked at him and said, "Are you happy?"

Brother Jiu quickly shook his head and said: "I don't have a son, the concubine is kind, and there are no children and grandchildren to comfort me. Brother Seventeen passed by, and he also performed his filial piety on behalf of Khan Ama, that is... is Brother Seventeen going to be too young?" What? He's only five years old, and the nobleman can't move there with him, he's probably about to cry."

The upbringing of the prince in the palace is all a matter of the emperor's father's words.

The early years were more chaotic.

Kangxi said: "It's just that the palace has been moved in advance."

Brother Nine stopped talking.

Before that, he was thinking about renovating the Ganxi No. [-] Institute, and was planning to move the palace next year on the [-]th.

But looking at the meaning of Khan Ama, since he tidied up Fulaixuan for Elder Seventeen, it is estimated that he will live in it for a few years.

Kangxi looked at him and said, "Did you meet Jin Yiren just now? What do you think?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "My son can't see it, but he looks like a kind person, and he treats Ama Khan with respect both inside and outside of his words..."

Speaking of this, he thought of something, and hurriedly said: "Ama, Mr. Zhang Baozhu has sent a letter, asking his son when Xinzhizao will be there. He is not very courageous, but there are several yamen in Hangzhou, and the one who accepts gifts, He was so scared that he copied all the gift slips and handed them to his son."

Just before he came out, he was reading the letter in the study, so he brought this gift list.

Before Zhang Baozhu left the capital, Brother Nine told him that the magistrate's favor would be accepted first, but he had to record it clearly, so as to prevent the imperial court from asking.

As a result, Zhang Baozhu accepted it obediently, but he was also timid.

Kangxi took the gift list, saw the content clearly, there was no joy or anger on his face, but his heart was restless.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

The Hangzhou Weaving Mansion is not only responsible for the selection of fabrics for the palace, but also responsible for the collection of news from the south of the Yangtze River.

All the weavers have the right to perform secret folding.

The officialdom in Zhejiang is worrying.

Kangxi still remembers the natural disasters of the sea tide a few years ago, because of the corruption of local officials, it caused a man-made disaster and forced the people to riot.

He looked at Brother Nine and said, "You're nepotism, and you gave all this fat job to your own people..."

Brother Jiu said: "Son, I think it's easy. I only think that Mr. Zhang is honest and not of high grade, but there is also a prince's son-in-law and a servant's father. Others dare not neglect him, but he is too hot. I can't bear it. What if anyone I'm so greedy that I want to drag Master Zhang into the water, I'd better tell him to come back earlier."

Kangxi pondered, and said: "Hangzhou Weaving, do you have any good candidates?"

Brother Nine hesitated.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really have someone to recommend?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "My son has no recommendation, but just wants to make a small suggestion..."

Kangxi motioned him to continue.

Brother Jiu said: "My son has been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for three years. The most troublesome word is 'connection and relatives'. Think about the Jin family. They were also in-laws with the Cao family and the Li family before. This is good, but there are also risks. Disadvantages, the son thought, it would be best if you choose a family that is not related to Cao and Li, and if you compare it like this, everyone will work harder on errands!"

Kangxi transferred Jin Yiren to Beijing, so naturally he also thought about the successor.

None other than Sun Wencheng, the natal nephew of Mrs. Sun Tai, the old nanny, and Cao Yin's cousin.

Although Brother Nine's words are somewhat reasonable at the moment, Kangxi still insists on his own opinion.

He looked at Brother Jiu and said: "The situation in Jiangnan is different from that in the capital. The yamen in Beijing needs to be avoided by relatives and needs to be balanced. Jiangnan is not peaceful yet and needs to be stable. Internal fighting is not necessary. Contacting relatives is also a deterrent to the outside world. Otherwise, how could the senior governor pay attention to weaving doctors of the fourth and fifth grades!"

Brother Nine did not enter the court, and he is not even familiar with the Ministry, let alone the place.

He didn't show his timidity anymore, and just said: "That's because my son is thinking shallowly, only thinking of the sky high and the emperor far away, don't be bold and fatten up everyone, let them stare at him, less trouble."

Kangxi said: "You are too young, you only look at those who are greedy and not greedy, that's not how employers look at it."

He also saw the standard of conduct of Brother Nine, one is that he is not greedy for money, and he cannot see others being greedy for money; the other is that he is lazy, but he cannot see others being lazy.

He doesn't look like a prince and elder brother, but rather like a landlord Lao Cai who watches over the long-term labor.

In a few years, I still have to go to the ministry to practice, so I can learn a lot.

Brother Nine smiled and remained silent.

Anyway, what is greedy is the money of the imperial father, and the imperial father is willing to raise moths, so what is he worrying about?
It's just that the money he earns is not allowed to be handed over by others, so as for the added errands, it is up to the twelve elder brothers to work harder.

Coming out of Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu took a look at Huichun Villa.

Since Khan Ama asked to clean up the house, he must have told the empress.

Now that it's delayed for half a month, I guess the empress will be happier.

Just moving to the concubine's place, how can it be the same as moving to the palace?

If the seventeenth elder brother moved at the age of six, it would be convenient for Concubine Yi and Chen Guiren to send people over to deliver things and visit;

Brother Jiu didn't show any displeasure in front of the imperial court, but he was partial to Concubine Yi in his heart.

When Shu Shu returned to the fifth house, brother Jiu sent Bai Guo and the others down, and complained to Shu Shu, saying: "What's the matter with the concubine? Isn't it just looking for trouble? If brother seventeen just left Zhaoxiang's house, I hugged him when I didn't remember anything, why do I adopt it at this time?"

It was only then that Shu Shu found out that Elder Seventeen was going to change his adoptive mother.

She also understood the reason for Concubine Yi's sentimentality.

She glanced at Brother Jiu, and said: "It may not be the concubine's intention, maybe it was arranged by the emperor, Jiu Gege got married, all the Geges in Ningshou Palace are quiet, and the Queen Mother doesn't like it very much..."

Concubine Yi is the most favored concubine in the harem, Concubine Shuhui has lost her mind, that's why she wants to snatch her adopted son.

Shu Shu felt that it was because Concubine Yi gave birth to eighteen elder brothers, and there were too many elder brothers under her name.

Brother Jiu couldn't think of this.

Hearing Shu Shu's words, he thought it was reliable, but he was still not very happy, and said: "Brother Seventeen is a child, not a kitten or puppy, he is so timid to change places all the time. Like the previous two years."

Shu Shudao: "My lord is optimistic. The concubine entered the palace with the queen dowager. I heard that the dowry was rich. After entering the palace for nearly 50 years, the private house saved here is only a lot. The emperor sent the seventeenth elder brother to the concubine. Upbringing is also a loving heart for Elder Seventeen."

"what?"

Brother Jiu felt a little relieved after hearing this, and said: "Master, I have forgotten this, I just want to take a child there to relieve the empress dowager. No matter how old or young, I am worried that I will delay Xiao Qiqi!"

Now that Mr. Wang is favored, the youngest sons of the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are also decent. I heard that their homework is also good.

Especially the sixteenth brother, who was only six years old last year, started to follow the north tour.

If the seventeenth elder brother is poor in his homework, then the fifteenth elder brother will compare with the sixteenth elder brother, and life in the study room will be difficult.

"That's right, Khan Ama has a compassionate heart and loves her son the most. This arrangement is well-intentioned..."

Brother Jiu sighed.

Shu Shu smiled without saying a word.

It can only be said that Brother Nine's filter on Kangxi is too thick.

That's fine, innocent, the admiration in front of the imperial court is also real...
