My father-in-law is Kangxi

The next day, Brother Jiu went to the household department again, not so reluctantly.

  He is twenty years old, not a child, and there are examples of brothers before him. The prince who is reused and the prince who is not reused are two different situations. No one needs to remind him of this.

  When Chen Zheng arrived at the Ministry of Finance, he directly asked someone to pick up the documents from the Eight Banners Division and read them.

  Mainly due to changes in the industries under each household’s name
  From this we can see the rise and fall of the family.

  His current location is in Brother Si's duty room.

  Brother Si thought he was lazy, so he tried to persuade him. He didn't expect him to be so self-conscious, but he felt quite relieved.

  When the two men were upright and the two ministers were almost free, the fourth elder brother took the ninth elder brother over and walked around.

  Monarchs and ministers are different.

  Although the bald prince came, he was still a prince.

  Both ministers were very polite.

  Brother Ninth was also polite, even if he had seen him before.

  He doesn't like to deal with people, especially old men, and he seems aloof.

  When the two ministers saw this, their faces became more respectful.

  When the Lang Guan and Si Guan next to him saw this, they also tensed up. They knew that this one was different from the Thirteenth Elder Brother and had to be as respectful as he was to the Fourth Elder Brother.

  Brother Jiu's reputation was so great that no one from the top to the bottom of the household department looked down upon him.

  They like to talk a lot, but they can't say a few words behind their backs. These two brothers seem to be sour-faced and not to be disrespected.

  Brother Jiu looked at the documents from the Eight Banners Division and was also paying attention to the time above.

  Large amounts of land and house transactions are mostly concentrated at about the same time.

  This dynasty had one in the early years of Kangxi, and another in about [-] years of Kangxi.

  Every time someone prospers, someone falls.

  Speaking of these industries of the Eight Banners, the total number is almost the same, the difference lies in whose hands it is.

  This family's property was transferred not only to noble families, but also to people with yellow belts and red belts.

  For example, Shu Shu's maternal family had two large-scale industrial transfers.

  One time was in the last years of Shunzhi, when Shu Shu's grandfather had just grown up, most of them dispersed.

  One time was in the [-]th year of Kangxi's reign, when Fusong Ama became a adult.

  After two defeats, nothing of the originally rich family fortune remained.

  But even if the clan has been abolished, the cousins ​​have all restored their clan status. Next to them are the Duke's Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the Prince Jian's Mansion, where the head of the family is not something ordinary people can calculate.

  No outsider dares to scheme to seize property.

  When Brother Ninth saw this, he became even more alert.

  I still have to worry about this title.

  If he was bullied by the clan, he wouldn't be able to bear his cowardice.

  A few days later, Shengjia moved to Changchun Garden again.

  This time, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu did not move there.

  Due to the Queen Mother's previous instructions, other princes' palaces did not move.

  However, there is movement here in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

  The twelfth elder brother, after receiving instructions, is about to leave the capital and go to the Rehe Palace for inspection.

  Brother Jiu got the news and mentioned it to Shu Shu when he got home, saying: "Looking at Khan Amma's intention, I will accompany the emperor's grandmother to spend the summer outside the Great Wall, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people to Rehe so early in advance. Let’s go too…”

  There has been no rain this spring. It is early March and it is obviously still mid-spring, but it is already a bit hot at noon.

  Shu Shu felt uneasy after hearing this.

  Historically, Jiu Gege died this summer.

  Shu Shu said: "How about ordering some more Huoxiang Zhengqi Powder from Tongrentang? It will save you the heat on the road..."

  Brother Jiu nodded and said, "We need to be prepared. The last time we went to the Great Wall, we left at the end of July, and the weather was already cold. If we leave at the end of May, it will be hot in the north too..."

  Neither husband nor wife thought that it was not necessary for the Holy Driver to take them.

  What Brother Jiu thought was that he was the one who organized the Rehe Palace. If it was opened this year, he would have to go and take a look.

  He just felt a little regretful for no reason.

  The buildings outside the palace are all official houses and shops. Am I too honest?
  At that time, it would have been a profit if he had taken the brothers and divided the shop outside the palace directly.

  It's too late to mention this now.

  What Shu Shu thought was that Jiu Gege had been quiet for more than ten years, and even if he took her to practice Ba Duan Jin, he would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

  Now that she knows that Jiu Gege is facing a life-and-death test this summer, Shu Shu hopes to be more prepared and try her best to help her get through this life-and-death test...

  Qianxi Wuzhao, main house.

  Twelve Fujin has prepared all his luggage. In addition to spring clothes, he must also prepare summer clothes.

  If the twelfth prince goes there, if it's early, he won't be able to come back until around the Dragon Boat Festival; if it's late, he won't be able to come back until the Holy Emperor goes to escape the summer heat.

  Twelve Fujin hesitated for a moment and said: "When I am away from home, I always need someone to serve me. Should I take my princess with me or a girl?" The girl is not considered a female dependent and is not likely to attract criticism.

  But the girl is not the master, so she is afraid that there will be some imperfections.

  The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient not to take any of them."

  Twelve Fujin did not hesitate and said: "Take care of yourself, my family, don't worry. I will often go to your noble and grandma's place to say hello..."

  The twelfth elder brother thought for a while and said: "Mommy, I always love purity, so there is no need to go there on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. I will ask someone to send some vegetarian dishes over there. For the nobles, just follow the example of the sisters-in-law. There is no need to go there on the fifth day of the lunar month." Every tenth…”

  After all, the noble lady is not the queen of the throne. Every time she goes to Changchun Palace, it is inconvenient to have to pay her respects to the good concubines first.

  The twelve blessings were carefully recorded.

  She has been married for half a year, and she can see that although the twelfth prince is reticent, he has his own plans and does not act independently. He always consults with the twelfth prince.

  The rules of the five houses have not been changed by the Twelve Fujins, and they still follow the old rules before the wedding.

  Because of this, the twelfth prince feels less uncomfortable and the relationship between husband and wife is much more harmonious.

  The next day, the twelfth elder brother left the capital and went to Rehe.

  The Thirteenth Fujin came to visit the Twelfth Fujin at the request of the Thirteenth Brother.

  "Our master has said that since Master Twelve is not here, if you have any orders from here, just send someone to the head office..."

  Thirteen Fujin looked a little less cheerful and a little more demure.

  Twelve Fujin asked someone to serve tea, looked at Thirteenth Fujin and said, "Brother and sister, thank Uncle Thirteen for me..."

  The two sisters-in-law were very affectionate before, but in February one family got the new princess and the other didn't, so it was a little awkward.

  Seeing the smile on Thirteenth Fujin's face fade, Twelfth Fujin could only feel sad in his heart, unable to show anything.

  Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Thirteen Fujin smiled instead and said: "Before I got married, I, Eni, had advised me that there would be many female relatives in the prince's backyard. Now there are only three of them, so what does it mean? I had thought about it earlier... …”

  Twelve Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, I, Eni, also advised me this way. Since I am marrying into a high family, I can only solve my own problems..."

  The two sisters talked about it, looked at each other and smiled, and most of their embarrassment disappeared.

  Twelve Fujin asked: "How is Xin Gege's temperament? Everyone says she looks good..."

  Thirteen Fujin said: "I came from a family with the same surname in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I am a well-behaved person."

  Twelve Fujin nodded and said: "That's okay, so you don't have to be naughty."

  By saying this, the two sisters knew that it would not be a good thing if this kind of personality, which requires good family background and good looks, was well behaved.

  It is better to be stupid and frivolous, and it will be easier to deal with.

  Twelve Fujin thought of his eldest sister.

  For a moment, I felt a little complicated.

  I'm afraid that in Ba Fujin's eyes, his eldest sister is also a difficult concubine with good family background, good looks, and abiding by the rules...

  *
  Two days later, a guard from Changchun Garden came to the Ministry of Household Affairs and delivered an oral message, ordering the fourth and ninth elder brothers to meet him.

  The fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother did not dare to delay and immediately went to Changchun Garden.

  Brother Ninth was still riding in the carriage.

  The fourth elder brother didn't say anything. He knew that the ninth elder brother was afraid of heat and cold. This ride in a car was more reassuring than riding a horse.

  Half an hour later, the two brothers arrived at Changchun Garden and entered the small east gate.

  "Is there something urgent that requires us to come over right away?"

  Brother Jiu asked curiously.

  Aren't there ministers and ministers responsible for the errands of the Ministry of Household Affairs?

  Yesterday, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was on duty in front of the imperial court. Why did he have to call the two brothers over without giving any instructions?

  Fourth Brother was better informed and made a guess, saying: "On the sixth day of March, the emperor issued an order to the governors of Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi and other places to inspect the granaries. This should be about this..."

  After hearing this, Brother Jiu looked up at the sky, which was blue.

  That is, Haidian is full of puddles, there is no shortage of water, and the vegetation looks crisp.

  The trees in the capital looked dull.

  If it doesn't rain at this time, the crops will definitely be delayed.

  A severe drought in the north this year is a foregone conclusion.

  In this case, water from afar cannot quench the thirst nearby, so local relief is often prepared first.

  Brother Jiu asked: "Which subordinates are going to inspect the granary?"

  Fourth Brother nodded and said: "Well, that should be the case..."

  While talking, the two brothers arrived outside Qingxi Bookstore.

  When the eunuch at the door passed the message inside, Wei Zhu came out to deliver a message to the two princes to enter.

  In addition to Kangxi, there was also Ma Qi in the room.

  Seeing the two princes coming, Ma Qi greeted them...
