My father-in-law is Kangxi

Shu Shu knew that Brother Jiu was demanding.

He was very close to Fifth Brother, but he couldn't stand Wu Fujin being polite to him, and felt that the other party was not interested.

She thought for a while and said: "Don't show it in front of the fifth master, otherwise we will be like villains. Birds of a feather flock together and people flock together. The fifth sister-in-law and I have a normal relationship, but with the fourth sister-in-law and the seventh sister-in-law, we are like little people." We get along well with each other; I am the same here, I am polite to my fifth sister-in-law, but I treat my seventh sister-in-law and my tenth sister-in-law like my own sisters..."

"If I pick on fifth sister-in-law, then fifth brother can also pick on me..."

"We are all relatives. I and the princes are all siblings, and some have similar temperaments and some do not. This is especially true for sisters-in-law. If you like each other, get closer to each other. If you don't, just be polite to each other. We are relatives..."

"Husband and wife are one body. If the tenth brother and the twelfth brother are picky and disrespectful towards my sister-in-law, it will be very uncomfortable for me. The same principle applies to the fifth brother..."

"There are all kinds of people out there, don't deal with them if you don't like them; don't think too much about the people around you who you can't get over..."

In other people's homes, the sister-in-law disturbs the family, causing discord among the brothers; in my own home, things are reversed, with the brother-in-law picking on the sister-in-law.

People know this, and they can only laugh at Brother Ninth's narrow-mindedness.

Brother Jiu heard Shu Shu say a lot in one breath, and he also listened to a lot.

He hummed softly: "I just think you are at a disadvantage and always give in to her. Why?"

He looked down on people like the Eighth Fujin who took advantage of their family status to thrive, and he also looked down on the people like the Fifth Fujin who were aloof and alienated because of their low family status.

Shu Shu couldn't help but pinched his waist and said: "No one is a clay or wood sculpture. They all have the same style. Don't find fault with my sister-in-law and younger brothers and sisters in the future. I am not an elder. This is inappropriate." Okay; think about my sisters, wouldn’t it be annoying if, in addition to dealing with the in-laws and sisters-in-law, the uncle-in-law and brother-in-law also have to be picky and mean..."

When Brother Jiu heard this, he felt that something was wrong.

He coughed and said: "I didn't say anything else. I just feel that Fifth Brother's family is not an outsider. Our two families are like one family. But because of Fifth Sister-in-law, I always feel that something is wrong. It's better to be like Old Ten." Feel comfortable getting along with each other.”

Shu Shu said: "It's hard to say this. If it really breaks down, I am half responsible, so if you can't explain it, don't talk about it in the future; no matter how we are like one family, we are still two families, so there is no need to care about it. too much."

Brother Jiu also regretted a little and said, "I don't want to mention this to you, so I won't talk about it in the future."

My sister-in-law is a little unfamiliar, but my brother is a good brother.

He already understands that closeness between sisters-in-law will affect the relationship between brothers, so why are he still fanning the flames here?

Shu Shu interrupted and said, "Brother Seventeen has returned to the palace, why hasn't Fusong's reward come yet?"

As expected, Brother Jiu's attention was diverted and he said: "Yes, it's been several months. Khan Ama won't forget it, right? Or is there something else wrong there? When the Holy Driver comes back, I will go and mention it." carry."

Shu Shu thought of the cowpox vaccine.

If we really want to promote it, we need to cultivate and collect it.

In that case, there should be another cattle breeding area here at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, separate from the current cattle and sheep pen.

The current cattle and sheep pens supply the palace with milk and mutton, and it is specified that "pox cows" cannot be mixed in.

But there was no movement from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Shu Shu felt a little heavy.

Is it to guard against Mongolia?
Smallpox is also a barrier.

The Mongolian princes did not dare to enter the pass because they were afraid of smallpox.

The past ten years or so have been better. In the 30 to [-] years since the Eight Banners first entered the customs, many princes and ministers died of the smallpox virus.

Shu Shu sighed inwardly. If Kangxi chose not to promote cowpox in order to curb Mongolia's population growth, it might not be impossible.

She said to Brother Ninth: "Forget it, I always feel weird asking for credit. Vaccinium has not been promoted yet, so the credit is hard to discuss. Let's wait. Fusong Shiba is already a fourth grade. Not in a hurry……"

Brother Jiu thought about it and said: "How long will it take to promote it? This is different from new grain seeds. It's not a year of acne. Good people probably don't want to vaccinate against acne. If it's just for children, then it will be like this one after another. It will take more than ten or twenty years to see results."

Shu Shu said: "The emperor knows it well and will not refuse to reward him. It is only for my sake and he will not erase Fusong's contribution. I am anxious."

Brother Jiu sighed and said: "If this is a county prince's palace, it would be most appropriate for Fusong to be promoted directly to the imperial palace. But I can only think about it. Just looking at the candidates for the palace rotation this time, I know that Khan Ama I still look at the elder and the younger.”

The lunch meal is relatively simple, with rice and a few side dishes, which makes it refreshing.

After eating, Brother Shi and his wife Shi Fujin also arrived.

The four of them set off, Shu Shu and Shi Fujin in a car, and Ninth Prince and Ten Prince in a car.

Shi Fujin said excitedly: "Sister-in-law Jiu, our father has said that if we don't build a garden in the next few years, we will put up a few yurts and eat roast mutton then."

Shu Shu became interested after listening, and said: "Go back and sprinkle some seeds of Sarilang flowers and wild leeks. There are flowers to see and wild leeks to eat..."

Looking at it that way, it looks like a grassland, and it goes well with a yurt.

After hearing this, Shi Fujin got greedy and said, "I want some meat on my hands. I want lamb chops. I don't put anything in it, just dip it in wild leek flowers."

After hearing this, Shu Shu also wanted to eat, so she nodded and said, "Then ask someone to kill a sheep on Zhuangzi. Let's have that for dinner."

Shi Fujin said happily: "Yeah, it's great that Sister-in-law Ninth is here. You can have whatever you want..."

Shu Shu glanced at her waist, thinking about her hard work in the past few months, and said, "Just eat the lamb chops. Pick off the five flowers on top and eat the meat close to the bone. It will be just as tender."

Shi Fujin nodded and said, "I remember what Sister-in-law Jiu said before, eat less fat food, and eat it in the morning if you want to satisfy your cravings."

Shu Shu said: "That's good, so you don't have to eat it at night."

In the carriages in front and behind, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were also talking about sheep.

Brother Ninth remembered the drawings of the two gardens and told Brother Ten: "If you really want to raise sheep, you must control the number. Don't put the sheepfold in the middle. Go to the northwest or southwest corner to avoid the stinking..."

Brother Ten said: "I asked about the dowry population in Fujin. The Mongolian side only raises one sheep on twenty or thirty acres of pasture. The sheep I have there will not exceed eight. I buy lambs from outside and eat them while I'm here." Just keep it on the side."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt relieved and nodded: "That's good. It's fine in winter. When the weather is warm, the smell of livestock eating and drinking is too great."

The land that the tenth prince replaced was just eight miles northeast of Changchun Garden, separated from Changchun Garden by several princes' gardens.

The carriage arrived in less than two quarters of an hour.

Shu Shu and Shi Fujin got off the carriage hand in hand.

The area is not large, about 150 feet from east to west and from north to south. It is a small village of 360 acres.

The tenth elder brother asked people to re-draw the boundary, put up a short fence in the middle, divide the small village into two, and re-deed it.The east side half-la was given away to Brother Jiu.

Although it is only 180 acres, the land here in Haidian is marketable and priceless.

These 180 acres of land can be exchanged for [-] acres of land elsewhere.

Four people entered Zhuangzi, looking from the east.

There are two lakes here, with a total water surface of fifty to sixty acres, accounting for one-third of Zhuangzi.

Shi Fujin felt dizzy as he looked at it, so he pulled Shu Shu away from the water.

Although the Mongolian pasture is planned along the course of the river, they don't go into the water and can't swim. They are all landlubbers.

Seeing this, the ninth elder brother was a little worried and asked the tenth elder brother: "How deep is the water?"

Brother Ten said: "Now it is less than five feet. Last July when the water was abundant, it was measured once and it was seven and a half feet."

Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu.

Seven and a half feet is also dangerous, as it cannot reach the top of a person.

Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "De-silting first, and then we will see how to build a passage on the water surface..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "At that time, we will also measure the water depth on the shore, transport some rocks, and pave the ground near the water."

The same is true for the lake in Changchun Garden. The water area near the shore is paved with stones to prevent people from falling into the water and slipping.

After seeing the eastern half of La, everyone went to the western half of La.

There is only one Haizi in the west, which is more than ten acres in size. The remaining river is only half a foot wide.

Shifu Jin immediately felt at ease and pointed: "This is good, you can see to the end, and you won't be afraid even if you look at it..."

Since neither family is serious about garden design, they don’t need to build too many houses or transplant flowers, trees and rocks.

Brother Ten said: "I'm going to be quick here. I only plan to build rows of houses in the south for people to live in. I won't build other houses."

Brother Jiu said: "I plan to hire someone to design it over there. I don't need too many houses. Just one place for living and one for banquets. From now on, when we entertain guests in the summer, we can come here..."

Speaking of this, he thought of the village given to him by the Crown Princess.

It's not a good idea to split it in two and give it directly to the tenth prince, otherwise it seems like you have to settle the accounts openly.

It's just that he doesn't have the habit of taking advantage of his younger brother.

Thinking that the business of the foreign goods shop in Shifujin was getting better and better, Brother Jiu made a plan to free up two shops in Nancheng for Brother Ten to open branches.

Things are expensive when leaving home.

Coming across the ocean, the profits are also very generous.

Nowadays, people in the capital are living a stable life, and foreign goods will continue to be popular.

Within half an hour, the four of them had almost finished watching.

After all, the distance between east, west, north and south here is about three hundred steps.

Before entering Zhuangzi just now, Shu Shu ordered people to go to Baiwang Mountain.

Therefore, by the time they came back in the carriage, Chunlin had already brought back the six-month-old lamb.

Slaughtered directly by my brother.

Divide a mutton into two pots of meat and cook them in two pots.

Boil large bones for two quarters of an hour, and other parts of the meat for only a quarter of an hour.

Nothing is added, just boil it directly with Yuquan water.

The sheep blood was directly steamed into the sheep blood soup, and the haggis was cleaned and put in the refrigerator. I planned to make haggis soup tomorrow morning.

The cooked hand meat was put on a warm pot, and one portion was delivered to the North Garden and one to Huichun Villa, along with the wild chive flowers provided by Shifujin.

Although there are only four people here in Wusuo, they share the food.

Shu Shu and Shi Fujin were in the west room, and Jiu Age and Ten Age were in the east room.

Shi Fujin picked off the fat from the mutton chops and ate half of the mutton chops.

Shu Shu likes to eat mutton leg meat more. It is cut with a Mongolian knife. It tastes fresh and tender and feels very good...

*
In the North Garden.

The Queen Mother sat behind the dining table, eating mutton, enjoying the familiar taste and feeling satisfied.

She muttered to Aunt Bai: "If you make it the same way, Shushu's one is delicious..."

Aunt Bai said: "If Jiu Fujin pays attention to his food and shows his filial piety to the queen, there is nothing wrong with her."

The Empress Dowager said: "You have the right intention. It makes you feel comfortable eating, and your life is running smoothly. But it is too tender. The meat on Horqin's side must be made from sheep from the next year, and cooked for three-quarters of an hour. It will taste more chewy..." …”

Speaking of this, she said: "Shu Shu and Buyin are both good and honest children. They are like sisters and can play together..."

Aunt Bai said: "Jiu Fujin has the air of an eldest sister, and Shi Fujin is also a person who wants to be grateful."

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Yes, not only do their sisters-in-law get along well, but Shu Shu and Aunt Xiaojiu also get along well. They look like a family..."

When I arrived at Fifth Brother's place, there were some shortcomings.

But to find fault with Wu Fujin seems mean.

Compared with ordinary families, this kind of relationship between sisters-in-law is already good.

"Hey, everyone has their own destiny, just let them go..." the Queen Mother sighed.

Aunt Bai said: "Don't worry, Madam, the Fifth Master is being generous to the Ninth Master, and the Ninth Master is also a soft-hearted person with good intentions..."
