My father-in-law is Kangxi

In this world, there is no mistake that all men make, and there is no mistake that all women make. It is just weighing and choosing.

Otherwise, why would no one make any mistakes in front of the emperor?

Whether it’s self-discipline or self-love, when you make a choice, you already have the thought of giving up.

If you can bear the cost of giving up, or if you are lucky, you will have new choices.

Shu Shu listened to Brother Jiu's heartbeat and felt that he was still a pessimist.

She didn't believe these words.

Let’s see later.

But even the worst outcome was something she felt she could accept.

At that time, as she said before getting married, what is hers is hers, what is hers is hers, and what is hers is not his.

Brother Jiu is a thoughtful person. He looked at the things Shu Shu copied and said, "If we can make something harder than ceramics, it can replace the mountain rocks. Even if it is not that hard, it is better than Sanhe soil for making clay." powerful……"

The two of them had spare money, so they could afford to buy a kiln.

Brother Jiu said: "Send Cao Shun over tomorrow to inquire about it. It's best to have it ready-made and hire the master together to save trouble."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "It's very good. It will take a year and a half to try it before you can find various suitable formulas."

Brother Ninth touched his chin and said, "The year after next will be Khan's [-]th birthday. My bald brother, it will be almost the year after tomorrow, right?"

By then the fourteenth elder brother will also be a man, and the younger brothers in the middle will also be knighted.

Shu Shu said: "That's one and a half years of work, which is enough time."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu also became excited and said: "If it is really successful, will my name also have to be left in the history of river management in the Qing Dynasty?"

Shu Shu encouraged: "Let me work harder. This will benefit the country and the people. Even a million taels of silver can't buy it."

Brother Jiu heard that he was happy and immediately asked He Yuzhu to go to the back room to call Cao Shun without waiting for the next day.

When Cao Shun arrived, Brother Jiu said: "Tomorrow, go to the Xishan area and ask if there is a kiln entrance. I want to buy one. It doesn't have to be too big. It can be a small kiln entrance or a medium-sized kiln entrance. The one with a master is best. No need to be stingy with money..."

Cao Shun said: "Master, do you want a brick kiln or a pottery kiln?"

Brother Jiu thought about the temperature mentioned by Shu Shu and then said: "Pottery kiln."

The materials are all clay, and the higher the temperature, the more porcelain-like.

Compared with bricks and tiles, the latter should have a higher temperature.

Cao shun complied.

Brother Jiu said: "By the way, the Tongzhou woolen woolen field is flooded. It rains in Jiangning. How do things prevent mildew? Do you know?"

After hearing this, Cao Shun thought for a while and said: "The house over there needs to be repaired every winter, and a large amount of charcoal and quicklime are put in the warehouse where raw silk and satin are stored to prevent moisture..."

Brother Jiu frowned and said, "These are just preventive measures. What about the silk threads and satins that have been soaked in rainwater?"

Cao Shun paused and said: "In that case, even if you try to repair it, it won't reach the level of internal use. Most of it will be reported as damaged and dealt with outside."

Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "It seems that you don't have a good idea, so let Jin Yiyao figure it out by himself. Okay, it's okay."

Cao Shun complied and retreated.

Shu Shu then came out of the study, looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Jiangning Weaving existed in the previous dynasty, and various countermeasures are also complete."

Brother Jiu thought thoughtfully and said: "I have discovered it. This natural disaster is really a good sign. It is estimated that when the accounts of Jiangnan Sanwei are reported in the second half of the year, they will mention the loss of materials and the increase in raw silk prices due to the rain. …”

Shu Shu said: "Just report it truthfully. I'm afraid that three points of natural disaster will be reported as ten points. If the money is transferred, the middle will be hidden."

She still remembers clearly that in "A Dream of Red Mansions", Jia Jiayin ate a lot of food. In addition to living a luxurious life, his income was getting less and less.

The reports sent to Zhuangzi were all about production cuts. The report from the head of the village was either drought or floods, and then the tenant's silver was cut by half.

Just by looking at Cao Gong's clever naming, we know that there is something fishy about Zhuangzi's tenancy in "Heishan Village".

In Heishan Village, the village head's surname is Wu. It's strange that the accounts are clean.

Fusong wanted to lead people on a tour of the village because he was afraid of this.

The village head below talked through the rain, and the above reduced the rent, but it allowed them to line their own pockets and ruined the reputation of Brother Jiu.

Brother Jiu said: "Cao Yin is a stable one. That Sun Wencheng is a bit stupid. He is either bold or Li Xu loves to make money. Suzhou Weaving should pay more attention to the accounts of San Weaving in the future."

Shu Shu said: "Based on Jin Yiren's mistakes, I estimate that within three to five years, everyone will be more peaceful."

The next day, Brother Ninth went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He planned to go to the inner building to see the glass craftsmen.

The temperature at which glass is fired is higher than ordinary porcelain.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he got the news that the nobles of the Yonghe Palace launched an operation last night, and Haichu gave birth to a son, and the mother and son were safe.

The ninth elder brother looked at the twelfth elder brother and said, "I only reported Yonghe Palace, but there is no movement in Chengqian Palace?"

Brother Twelve shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

There is a new prince in the palace, and he has to go to the emperor to announce the good news.

Brother Ninth asked someone to check the records of the prince's delivery at the Imperial Hospital, then copied a copy and sent it to the emperor.

Here in the south study room, the third elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother also got the news.

Give birth to three sons...

In the entire harem, only Concubine Rong, Concubine De and Concubine Yi were so blessed.

These three people all died young.

If Wang Guiren's three sons can be saved, not to mention concubines, concubines will be able to survive in the future.

They are all little brothers. The third elder brother sighed in his heart and said to the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother: "Let's jointly announce the good news to Khan Ama?" Neither the fifth elder brother nor the seventh elder brother had any objection.

The three princes who entered the South Study jointly wrote a note announcing the good news.

Wang Guiren gave birth to full term. The first [-] and [-] elder brothers were both well-fed. According to the records from the Imperial Hospital, this little one also has a loud voice, black fetal hair, and complete fingernails. This is because he was raised in the womb. .

For the royal family, it is a happy event to have a healthy little prince.

Yonghe Palace, the small Buddha Hall in the main hall.

Concubine De took the incense and felt happy.

Fortunately, all the palace rooms in the East and West Sixth Palace have been allocated, and there are no empty palaces.

Otherwise, no matter how low the noble Wang's background is, given the emperor's partial favor for her, even if she cannot be granted a concubine directly, she is still qualified to live in the back hall of an empty palace.

By that time, Yonghe Palace became deserted and became the second Zhongcui Palace.

The nun beside her said: "My dear, my concubine and your concubine are also going to term. If you give birth to a princess, will you be thinking about raising your [-]th brother?"

Concubine De shook her head and said: "It's useless even if you worry about it, the emperor won't allow it."

In the eyes of the emperor, the prince is ahead of his beloved concubines and concubines.

Looking for an adoptive mother for the prince is either to enhance the prince's status or to worry that the biological mother is too young to raise the prince.

The adoptive mother of the fifteenth brother is the Crown Princess, and the adoptive mother of the sixteenth brother is himself.

Wang Guiren has already given birth to two children, and her sixteenth brother grew up beside her, so he has plenty of experience in raising princes.

No matter how you look at it, it is more appropriate for the [-]th prince to stay with Wang Guiren rather than to be given to a concubine.

Concubine De was worried about her fourteenth brother, but she also understood that she could no longer interfere in Dongtou Suo's affairs.

He still had to hold his own in order to protect his son.

In addition to the emperor's grudges, there is also a prince who has a problem with the fourteenth elder brother...

*
Chengqian Palace, back hall.

He Bi held his stomach and leaned on the pillow, feeling a little strenuous.

Seeing this, her nanny worriedly said: "Mother, please continue walking..."

She was a showgirl of the Eight Banners, and she was only a noble person when she entered the palace. She was not qualified to bring her nanny and the daughters of her family into the palace. However, after she was registered as a concubine, her family could make up for the population and dowry, and the nanny entered the palace.

Hebi's whole body seemed to have been blown out of air. She looked chubby and had a scary big belly.

The concubine looked at her, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Mom, I hate you!"

Mammy helped her and said: "Mother, it's important for me, little brother. I'll ask the emperor to make the decision after the birth..."

He and the concubine got up with difficulty, held Nanny's arm, and started walking.

But she was too heavy and staggered when she walked.

Just walking around the house twice showed signs of incontinence.

He and the concubine went to clean the room again, and when they came back from changing clothes, their foreheads were already sweaty and their faces were red.

Grandma didn't dare to let her go, so she helped her sit down.

The concubine's tears suddenly came out, and she choked with sobs: "I am confused, I don't even know who my enemy is..."

At first, she didn't notice anything wrong. Later, her appetite got better and better, and her body swelled up like a steamed bun. The master and servant noticed something was wrong.

It was only when the imperial doctor on duty made some insinuations and said it was due to improper diet that the master and servant discovered that the problem lay in the dining room.

The flour in the kitchen was mixed with Poria cocos powder.

Poria cocos powder stimulates the appetite and strengthens the spleen, improves nausea and vomiting, and calms the mind and promotes sleep.

I eat more and sleep more, but my weight is not skyrocketing.

Not only did he and his concubine gain weight, but the baby in his belly also grew bigger.

But it was also the imperial physician who was on duty, telling the concubines to eat less and move more.

But once the appetite is stretched, hunger becomes very difficult.

My concubine and I were hungry every day, scratching our hearts and lungs, and we had to move more to lose weight. It was a double ordeal.

Unfortunately, not even an enemy can be found.

Now that the emperor is not in the palace, he and his concubines dare not report it, so as not to make a big fuss and make people laugh.

If the mastermind behind the scenes is found, that's all. If he can't be found to alert the enemy, there's no way the other party will try any other tricks.

The nanny had been in the palace for two years and was at a loss when thinking about the situation in the palace.

The third concubine has grandchildren, so how can she be afraid of the little prince?

As for the princess who holds the power of the palace, there is no need to interfere with the affairs of the harem.

The remaining childless Concubine Tong, Concubine Xianfu and the concubines all live in the Sixth Palace in the west. They are so far away and reach out to the Chengqian Palace just to harm the concubines who have no hatred?

Picture what?
If you really have the guts, you can almost harm the noble king.

If Wang Guiren died after giving birth and was left with a motherless little prince, there is no chance that he would be given to anyone else.

Harmful and concubine...

He concubine is the concubine of the East Sixth Palace, and there is also Concubine Hui in the East Sixth Palace.

Even if there is a real emergency with the concubine, the possibility of leaving the little brother or little princess to be educated by Concubine Hui is greater than the possibility of finding an adoptive mother in the West Sixth Palace.

Who is that?
