My father-in-law is Kangxi

Pearl house, study room.

Mingzhu stood behind the desk, holding a magnifying glass in her hand, appreciating the copybooks on the desk.

The boy at the door came in and said, "Master, An Qi is here."

Mingzhu said: "Tell him to come in."

When An Qi came in, without waiting to greet him, Ming Zhu greeted him and said, "Come and have a look, Wang Xianzhi's "Dongshan Pine Tie"!"

An Qi is the son of Mingzhu's family. He was a book boy of Mingzhu when he was young, and he has a good appreciation of calligraphy and painting.

It's just that his other homework is ordinary, and he was born as a servant, so he can't take the Eight Banners imperial examination, otherwise, Mingzhu will send him out to pursue an official career.

Although master and servant, there is also some teacher-student friendship.

An Qi still invited An before she stepped forward and stood in front of the desk.

When he saw the copybook, he was also mesmerized.

Mingzhu stroked her beard and said, "How do you look at this?"

An Qidao: "I can't say it well, I just look at everyone's appearance, and in the master's collection, it can be ranked at the top."

Mingzhu closed the copybook and said, "This is for you, it will be the top treasure!"

An Qi was surprised and said: "It's absolutely impossible. Since it is a treasure handed down from generation to generation, where can the servant keep it? There are still the second master and the third master."

Mingzhu's family is not divided, and the son has three bedrooms in his life.

The eldest son has passed away, leaving behind three grandsons, of which the grandson is about the same age as the two uncles, and was awarded a Jinshi last year.

But the grandson is not as close as the son after all, Mingzhu chose the head of the family is the second son Kuixu.

The third son, Kuifang, is Heshuo's son-in-law, and also the old son of Mingzhu, so he is very favored.

In the past ten years or so, Mingzhu has been quiet, and now it is Kui Xu who is only walking on behalf of the Nalan family.

Mingzhu shook her head and said, "They have theirs, this is for you..."

Speaking of this, he pondered: "In the future, don't buy land for Yangzhou's silver. It's too eye-catching and won't last long. Just keep antique calligraphy and paintings!"

An Qi went south for six years, and the money he earned was not only the land in Gyeonggi, but also the local mansions and Zhuangzi in Yangzhou.

The two lands add up to more than [-] mu.

In addition to being a salt merchant, he also took hundreds of thousands of capital to buy foreign goods from several merchant ships at Hangzhou Customs, and he also made huge profits after he changed hands.

If it wasn't for the big commotion, the banner of "Beian" wouldn't come out.

It can only be said that peers are lighter.

Even if they knew that An Qi had Mingzhu's family as their backer, no one would dare to face him head-on, but they were still unwilling to see him get rich, the title itself meant to kill him.

Who doesn't know, whether it is the Ji family in Jiangnan or the Kang family in Shanxi, they are all wealthy businessmen who started to make a fortune in the last years of the previous dynasty. They have been rich for several generations, and many of their children have become officials.

But An Qi is a domestic slave who has just made a splash, what qualifications does he have to be called together with those two families?
This is a soft knife.

Mingzhu saw that it was inappropriate, so she made other arrangements.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

Now the world is settled, there will be no major changes in the future, and it will be stable for 80 years.

Buying land everywhere is worse than quietly collecting antique calligraphy and paintings, and it is also convenient to realize them.

An Qi said in shame: "I have caused trouble for the master."

Now the [-] mu of land in Xianghe has been known to people.

He didn't delay, and carefully talked about the meeting with Brother Nine in the restaurant.

After Mingzhu heard this, her focus was not on Brother Nine, but on new grains.

"The promotion of new grains is not Si Baylor's errand? Why did you change the servant of Brother Jiu to handle it?"

Although Mingzhu is retiring, she is still well informed about the news of the prince's mansions.

For Brother Jiu, he just felt it was a pity.

Ninth elder brother is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, right under the eyes of the emperor, so it is not easy to ask the eldest elder brother to get close to him.

Otherwise, there are big gains.

It's not the ninth elder brother's ability to make money, but the relationship between the ninth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother, which can be used as a bridge.

On the contrary, Brother Nine's ability to earn money is insignificant if it can be replaced.

Before An Qi came back, he did inquire about it, and said: "That Gao Bin is a coat boy from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was a long-term follower by Master Jiu's side earlier. I don't know why he didn't make up for the vacancy in the Prince's Mansion. Last year he worked with Sibeile to farm. I took six written examinations, and then I made up the prefect of Xianghe County."

Mingzhu squinted her eyes and said: "This is the time before the imperial court. Since elder brother Jiu spoke up, you can say that I have agreed."

He was born in the Tiancong period, and he became an official in the Shunzhi Dynasty. He is almost seventy years old, so he is naturally willing to leave a good relationship for his children and grandchildren.

Jiufujin is the younger daughter-in-law's cousin, and the two families also have a relationship.

Ninth elder brother's position is neither partial to eldest elder brother nor to the crown prince. No matter who comes to power in the future, life will not be wrong.

Having received the letter of approval from the master, An Qi went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in person without any delay.

The Ninth Prince's Mansion, the upper room.

Shu Shu and Brother Nine had already returned from Qianmen Street, and they were looking at some patented medicines they brought back from Lejia's old shop.

In addition to Xiaoyao Pills and Liuwei Dihuang Pills, there are also Dashanzha Pills and Wuji Baifeng Pills.

Big Hawthorn Pills promote digestion, while the latter regulate menstruation.

Brother Jiu saw that Shu Shu was paying attention to the black-bone chicken Baifeng Wan, and said, "Is there anything uncomfortable? My waist is sore and my legs hurt in my childhood?"

Shu Shu said: "It's some symptoms. Go back and ask the doctor Xiao Jiang if this can be used for daily recuperation."

In fact, her symptoms were mild, and she could take the medicine or not.

She thought of Shifu Jin's menstrual irregularity, and felt that if Shifujin wanted to prepare for pregnancy, he should adjust his menstruation first.

It's not easy to say this in front of Brother Jiu, so he talks about himself.

The couple hadn't taken less medicine in the past few years, Brother Jiu frowned and said: "The medicine is three-point poisonous, Xiao Jiang is too young, why don't you ask Lao Jiang to come over and have a look, it's best to use food supplements."

Coincidentally, the three generations of Grand Doctor Jiang's family have all asked for Ping'an pulse at the prince's mansion.

The most valued by elder brother Jiu is naturally the retired doctor Jiang.

Shu Shu said: "Alright."

Regarding her physical condition, no matter how careful she is, she is not too cumbersome.

She is afraid of Shu Shu.

When Cui Baisui reported An Qi's post, Brother Jiu went to the front yard.

Shu Shu took Bai Guo to Ning'an Hall, intending to pick up Xiao Gege back.

The two cousins ​​stayed for half a day and became much more acquainted than in the morning.

When Shu Shu came over, the two children fell asleep side by side, holding hands.

Shu Shu didn't ask anyone to wake up little Gege, and whispered to the nanny: "When Gege wakes up, take her back."

The grandma agreed.

Shu Shu told Mrs. Uncle her plan, and in the morning or afternoon, she would pick up the children to the main room and let them get closer.

Mrs. Uncle shook her head and said, "When the four children get together, it will be overwhelming, can you bear it?"

She brought up Shu Shu and knew that Shu Shu was quiet and didn't like to move. She loved reading books the most, and also liked to take notes by herself.

After hearing this, Shu Shu felt a little dizzy thinking about the scene.

At first, I didn't think that the main house was small, and there were two people living in two ears.

But during the day, I carried the four children over, either between the west time room or the east time room.

The children, together with the baby nurses who followed, made up a dozen or so people.

Thinking about it, Shu Shu felt a headache.

Mrs. Uncle said: "Let them all come here, come here every day after breakfast, and take them back before lunch."

Shu Shu couldn't bear it, and said: "Then you are also troubled? If you choose one of the two, I would rather I be tired."

Mrs. Uncle said: "I'm just idle, just to pass the time."

Shu Shu said: "Forget it, the left and right don't remember things, wait until they are four or five years old and can reason, then get together."

Mrs. Uncle disapproved: "If you don't teach, how can you understand the truth? You can rest assured that all the nanny will watch over you?"

Shu Shu stopped talking.

Mrs. Uncle said: "Stop rambling, try it for a few days first, if it doesn't work, I will open my mouth, and let's talk about entering the house twice, and it will be easy to just clean up a place for them to play."

Shu Shu said: "Then watch it for two days first, don't force yourself..."

*
Front yard living room.

Brother Jiu was talking to An Qi, and sent someone to Gao's house to find Gao Bin.

"I heard that you sold silks and satins from Jiangnan to Korea? You also sold Korean ginseng to foreigners?"

Brother Jiu remembered the rumors outside.

Because An Qi is a descendant of Korean people, some people outside call him An Er Dazi.

People like Brother Nine know that An Qi is a member of Ming Zhu's family.

The merchants in Yangzhou didn't know this relationship, and thought he was a Korean merchant.

An's family also has distant relatives in Korea, so they dredged the trade route from Jiangnan to Korea.

Anyway, this person came from a lot of ways to make money, and he didn't focus on one discipline, so he became famous within a few years.

An Qidao: "It's all a coincidence. Master Jiu followed Shengjia on his tour to the south. Perhaps he has also seen rich and wealthy salt merchants who spend money like water. They are the ones who are talking about it. The villain became a second-hand dealer. Items were sold to these big salt merchants; and they pulled the banner of these big salt merchants to gather the ginseng merchants in Korea, just tossing and turning."

Brother Nine said: "It's hard to come by."

Although holding the capital of Mingzhu's family is not self-made, but the business market is uncertain, and there are many people who lose their capital because of drought and flood.

An Qi's vision and ability are good.

The most rare thing is that at this age, he looks very stable, and he is not frivolous because of the adulation outside.

Brother Nine said: "In Koryo, besides Korean ginseng, are there other products?"

An Qi thought for a while, and said: "There are also Korean paper, Korean cloth, and Korean porcelain. They are all technologies imported from the Central Plains in the early years. They are not as exquisite as those in Jiangnan, and the craftsmanship is also simple."

Brother Jiu lost interest after hearing this, and said, "Is the Korean ginseng business still in your hands?"

An Qidao: "The share in the south of the Yangtze River is in the hands of villains. Here in the capital, all the envoys from Korea who came to court sell some tribute."

In recent years, the price of ginseng has doubled, and the same is true for Korean ginseng, which is in short supply.

Brother Jiu said: "The first-class Korean ginseng, according to the market price, will leave fifty catties for the master every year."

This is just right for giving gifts to the elders, and it can also be given for daily visits.

These are all trivial matters, An Qi agreed.

At this moment, Gao Bin rushed over.

"Ninth Master..."

He originally planned to come tomorrow, and brought his wife to pay his respects, and he was going to go to Xianghe to take up his post the day after tomorrow.

Brother Jiu said to An Qi: "This is Gao Bin, Gaozhi County..."

Then, he said to Gao Bin: "This is An Qi, a rich businessman in Huainan."

An Qi had already got up and said, "Little man An Qi, I have met Gao Xianzun."

An Qi could tell that Brother Nine was different from other dignitaries, that is, he did not treat him with contempt because of his background, and treated him seriously, so he introduced him like this.

Otherwise, according to his and Gao Bin's identities, he should introduce himself to Gao Bin first.

This is Brother Jiu's guest, Gao Bin was still thinking about who this is, and looked at him.

Hearing the name, he understood, he clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's better to meet you than to be famous. I didn't expect Boss An to be so young."

After sitting down again, Brother Jiu said to Gao Bin: "An Qi is not only the boss, but also a big landlord. He bought [-] mu of land in Xianghe. I've said hello to him. I can cooperate with you to plant all the land this year." Corn and potatoes!"

Gao Bin was overjoyed.

You must know that the farming here in Zhili will start at the end of February and the beginning of March, and there is not much time left for Gao Bin to raise land.

There are some official fields in the county government, but the number is limited, and most of them are private fields below.

Gao Bin hurriedly said: "Thank you, Boss An, for the success. I can't guarantee anything else. I only guarantee that the rental income will not be less than last year's income. If there is any shortage, the county government will directly subsidize it."

An Qidao: "The county lord is very polite, and the villain also listens to Lord Jiu's orders. The promotion of new grain varieties is a move that benefits the country and the people, so there is no reason not to agree."

Brother Nine is by the side, full of ambition.

Some of the fields for new grains have been planted, and the official cooking pot can be successfully prepared this autumn.

He looked at An Qi and said, "At the end of the year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will open an official pot to make shochu. At that time, the line of Koryo will be given to you. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a report and hang up an imperial merchant... "

An Qi was overjoyed when he heard that.

Not everyone can gain the title of imperial merchant.

Ji's family has been rich for several generations, and it was a coincidence that Sheng Jia got the qualification of the Imperial Merchant during his southern tour the year before last.

Now he is here, and he doesn't do anything for elder brother Jiu, just a small favor, which has such a big benefit.

An Qi hurriedly got up, bowed to Brother Jiu and said, "Thank you Master Jiu for your guidance."

Brother Nine waved his hands and said, "It's nothing, even if I met a few Korean envoys earlier, I know that the people there are snobbish. You have multiple names, and it will be easier to travel to and from Korea..."
