My father-in-law is Kangxi

The elder brother below is very different in age from Princess Rong Xian.

But the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother all followed the northern tour the year before last, and the princess came back the year before last, and the sisters and brothers had also seen each other, so Princess Rong Xian said a few words.

Only the younger brother, Elder Brother Twelve, has some relationship with Princess Rongxian.

Before the twelfth prince entered the study, Princess Rongxian saw more of him.

Right now, Princess Rongxian saw that he was quiet and shy, with the same personality as when she was a child, so she asked in a soft voice: "The mother is in good health, how old is the old man?"

When she was in the palace a few years ago, Princess Rongxian accompanied Princess Dachang to visit Madam Su Ma.

People in their nineties who are not deaf or blind are really lucky.

Although she was born as a female slave, she followed the empress dowager to lead two generations of young emperors, and gained the respect of the royal family.

Not to mention their juniors, even the empress dowager and the emperor have a little more respect for the nanny.

The twelfth elder brother stood up and said: "During the twelfth lunar month last year, my aunt was not feeling well for a while, but she got better later and is fine now. She likes to eat fried tofu."

Princess Rongxian nodded and said: "That's good."

There was a banquet at noon yesterday, and there is also today.

Just before the banquet, the garden dining room brought over the appreciative dishes.

Kangxi bestowed one roast leg of lamb, one diaper hot pot, one pickled dish, one Feilong soup, one chess piece pancake, one eight-treasure rice, two jars of royal wine...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall.

Shu Shu came over to have dinner with Madam Bo. Madam Bo said, "There is no banquet for Wanshou Festival tomorrow, so are you still going to Haidian?"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "The Imperial Grandmother has arranged for the princess to have a family dinner at noon tomorrow. I have to go there."

The uncle said: "The emperor has spent more and more time in Haidian in the past two years."

In the early years, I stayed around the Lantern Festival, and then I lived there for a month or two when the weather got hot in May and June, which added up to three or four months.

Now almost four festivals of the year are passing by. I spend more than half a year in the garden, but I spend less time in the palace.

Mrs. Uncle said: "You can't live in elder brother's place forever, the place is too small, I don't know when the emperor will think of giving gardens and land..."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "Even if I think of giving it, I guess it won't be Jiu Ye's turn in the first wave, so wait."

Mrs. Uncle said: "This summer in the capital is really difficult."

Shu Shu said: "If Shengjia never comes back, we will move there when the weather gets hot in April..."

Although the garden is not as comfortable as the Prince's Mansion, because there are so many bubbles in Haidian, the temperature in summer is several degrees lower than in the capital.

Because most of the buildings and city walls in the capital are dark in color, they absorb heat very much, and become a big steamer in summer.

The next day is Longevity Day.

The prince and his buddies went to Changchun Garden early and waited outside Qingxi Bookstore to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

The birthday gift was sent to the emperor long ago.

In addition to the palace jointly signed by everyone, there are also birthday gifts similar to those every year.

No one is so foolish as to think that this year's birthday gift will be saved if Xiaotangshan Palace gives it away.

After kowtowing and coming out, Brother Jiu thought about it in his mind and felt that he was at a loss.

One for Xiaotangshan, one for Daliu, and one for Jiangshan, which are three longevity gifts.

He was distracted when Si Age took his arm and wanted to pull him to a secluded place.

The eldest elder brother was a step late, looked at the twelve elder brothers and said, "You follow!"

The third elder brother and the fifth elder brother live in Haidian. Things have been delayed for the past two days. They did not go to the Yamen and do not know the situation.

The third elder brother was curious, his eyes flickering.

The fifth elder brother was worried. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Are you in trouble again?"

Seventh elder brother looked around and knew it well, said something to eldest elder brother, then turned and left.

The eighth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and thought of the rumors in the capital.

Although the tenth elder brother is not in the capital, the news is summarized every day, so he knows it well and can probably understand the ninth elder brother's intention, so he is not worried.

Elder Brother Thirteen also returned to the household department yesterday afternoon, knowing the rumors, he was also worried.

Who wants to have a bad reputation?
Besides, this designation is an injustice, and Ninth Brother is not short of money.

Seeing the sullen face of the fourth elder brother and the uneasy expression of the eldest elder brother, the ninth elder brother almost jumped up and said, "I didn't cause any trouble!"

He didn't do anything, he just waited and watched the excitement.

The front of Qingxi Bookstore was not the place to talk, so the princes still left the small east gate.

It was some distance away from Xiaodongmen, and the guards couldn't hear the voice, so everyone stopped.

The fourth elder brother asked directly: "Okay, what are you doing to transfer the property of your twelfth brother?"

The elder brother also said: "Even if there is any inside story, wouldn't it be written in the transaction money, making a fuss, is it nice to be chewed on?"

The third elder brother's eyes widened. Seeing that the fifth elder brother was still confused, he asked the thirteenth elder brother, "What happened? What property was transferred?"

The thirteenth elder brother saw that the third elder brother was faintly excited, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said: "Yesterday morning, the ninth elder brother arranged for people to go to the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Households to transfer a house and two shops under the name of the twelfth elder brother. They are all transferred to their own names.”

The twelfth elder brother was confused at first, but after hearing this, he realized that everyone had misunderstood, and said hurriedly: "I asked Brother Ninth to transfer the ownership. The restaurant of Ninth Brother's family is going to open a branch, and it happens to use the shop and the house."

The fourth elder brother still frowned, waiting for the ninth elder brother to answer.

If the twelfth brother's property is all shops, this is still true, but there is also a house, what kind of restaurant should he open?
It doesn't sound true.

The gossip outside spread widely, but the princes didn't believe it.

Millions of taels of wealth are gone, how can you still look at the three melons and two dates of Brother Twelve?

Whether it is the fourth elder brother or the eldest elder brother, they dislike the rough handling of the ninth elder brother and make people talk about it.

Now is the time when the twelfth elder brother is about to get married. If the Yue family really thinks that he is a little elder brother who can bully everyone, then he will be treated with contempt.

Ninth brother said from the side: "Twelfth brother is right, it is to open a restaurant, two branches of Baiweiju, and one is a private restaurant. Don't worry, everyone, I won't take advantage of twelfth brother. Go back to my shop outside Li Xun is about to turn around, and he won't let his twelfth brother suffer."

The eldest elder brother said: "Since it is a replacement, you can't do it in one pile? It's so evil outside, you have become a black-hearted brother, wait, the censor's impeachment will arrive tomorrow, and today is the Longevity Festival. It should be here today!"

The fourth elder brother urged: "Transfer a few industries as soon as possible, or the gossip will not be calmed down!"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Don't turn it around! Let's wait for two months. If you turn it around now, people will still gossip. If I am greedy for the arrangement and will be cowarded later, it will only make it worse."

The fifth elder brother said: "Then why didn't you want to be thoughtful before you transferred? The designation is your own idea, but if the younger brothers and sisters know about it, they will stop them, and they won't be so blatant and rebellious."

Brother Jiu didn't deny it and said, "It's just a trivial matter. Let them talk about it."

The elder brother said: "But isn't it just looking for trouble? The replacement is the replacement, so what are you going to transfer?"

The fourth elder brother said: "It's not appropriate, it's a new wedding ceremony for the twelfth brother from Wanliuha's family, it shouldn't be replaced in the first place, just leased it earlier."

The two of them believed that Ninth Prince opened a restaurant, because the menu of the Ninth Prince's Mansion was displayed there, and the business of the restaurant that was now open was also booming.

The third elder brother was almost listening. He looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Ninth elder brother, it's true. If the shop doesn't help, tell me. I still have a few idle shops and the servants will take care of them. The business will be dead." .”

It would be great if you can use the shop to buy shares directly, but if you don’t buy shares, the business of opening a shop will be good, and the rent will not be less.

Everyone was chattering, but the eighth, tenth, and thirteenth princes didn't speak.

Elder Brother Thirteen asked Elder Ten in a low voice, "How many branches Ninth Brother wants to open, I also have two shops here..."

The tenth elder brother said: "I am not in the capital right now, so I don't know the arrangements of the ninth elder brother."

The eighth prince was listening, frowning slightly.

Although there are many profitable industries under the name of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, such as silver houses, restaurants, pastry shops, rouge shops, etc., they are all under the name of Dong E's.

The ninth elder brother took the shop of the twelve elder brothers under his own name, and wanted to open a restaurant with great fanfare, which was too conspicuous.

As a prince, he conducts business and competes with the people for profit.

This will also arouse criticism in retrospect.

The fifth elder brother understood the cause and effect, and also thought about the shop, and said to the ninth elder brother: "Who doesn't have ten or eight shops, why do you want to talk to the twelfth brother, you can't be an elder brother like this, I will pick a few later. Pass it to the twelfth brother!"

Brother Nine hurriedly said: "Good fifth brother, don't mess around with me. This is adding new words to others. If that happens, others should say that you wiped my ass!"

"Bah bah bah!"

The fifth elder brother showed disgust, and said: "It's so disgusting!"

There are too many people, so Brother Nine can't say anything about Guangshanku, so he said: "Brothers, let's all live in peace, Baqi men are free, and after a few days, no one will mention it when the marriage decree comes out. Don't talk to them right now."

When the fourth elder brother saw the ninth elder brother, he always tried to avoid it, but finally thought of Guang Shanku.

He knew that if he cared about it, he would be chaotic, so he became a little impulsive.

These three properties were all given together by entrustment. After thinking about it, he somewhat understood the reason why Brother Jiu changed his hands.

This is because he cares for his younger brother and wants to preserve these properties, regardless of his own reputation.

So honest.

The atmosphere in the capital is too bad at the moment, talking about the royal affairs, I have to find a way to curb it.

Seeing that he knew what he was thinking, the elder brother glanced at elder brother twelve and said, "Brother twelve, what do you think?"

Brother Twelve said: "I listen to Brother Ninth."

The eighth elder brother was watching and couldn't help but glance at the twelfth elder brother.

The little elder brothers in the back, one by one, are all close to the ninth elder brother.

The third elder brother brought regret.

Elder Brother Twelve is also close to the water and has a chance to win first. With Lao Jiu's loose hands, the replacement property will only be more or less.

How come I haven’t encountered such a good thing...

Here in the North Garden, the Queen Mother hosted a banquet for Princess Rongxian.

In addition to the royal family Fujin, the clan princes and princes Fujin also came together.

Last year, it was the same scale as the reception banquet for Princess Kejing.

Both of them are Heshuo princesses, so it's not easy to distinguish between high and low, so we will send posts according to last year's routine.

There are too many people, so everyone just makes up the number.

Shu Shu followed her sister-in-law, looking docile and well-behaved.

But what's the hot news these days?
It was the news from the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Fujin, a relative of all clans, had to secretly look at Shu Shu...
