My father-in-law is Kangxi

The next day, another eunuch in charge of Yuqing Palace came into the city and presented yesterday's "falling" gift to the Chengjun Prince's Mansion.

The third elder brother went to the Rites Yamen, and only San Fujin was there.

Sanfujin also heard yesterday afternoon that the prince sent people to "appreciate" rose dew, and felt confused.

You must know that the human relations between Yuqing Palace and the princes' mansions outside are all controlled by the Crown Princess. Although it is not convenient for the Crown Princess to leave the palace, Sanfujin also sent someone to Yuqing Palace to deliver a message.

The Crown Princess was always considerate and had already sent congratulatory gifts.

The current gift was obviously the prince's attempt to make up for yesterday's rudeness.

When the eunuch left, Sanfujin had a look of color on his face.

This is the advantage of being promoted to the county king. Even if the prince is worried and wants to have fun with his brother, he can't be disrespectful.

But while she was proud, she also reflected on something.

As a crown princess, she is humble, but as the prince of the county, Fujin cannot be too ostentatious.

The emperor's protective calf can't stand this...

These princes, Fu Jin, have noble husbands and honorable wives. No matter how high their royal titles are, they are not as valuable as their younger brother.

The "reward" given by the Crown Prince yesterday caused many people to speculate privately.

Today's complimentary gift naturally fell in everyone's eyes.

Combined with what happened yesterday, the prince seemed even more wanton.

Is this Prince Bu Xicheng, deliberately trying to show off his face, and then regretting it later?

Brother Ninth is at the Hubu Yamen. He has almost read the brochures in the Thirteenth Warehouse. He is planning to learn more about the Baoquan Bureau next.

Baoquan Bureau is the mint under Qian Fatang. There are a total of four workshops in the capital, all located on the border of Zhengbai Banner.

Mainly because Brother Jiu wanted to go out for a walk, so he could visit Mother Qian.

Otherwise, I would have to work at the Ministry of Household Affairs all day long, which would be too lazy and unreliable.

At noon, the third elder brother and the tenth elder brother arrived one after another.

The third elder brother came to see the fourth elder brother, and the tenth elder brother came to see the ninth elder brother.

The third elder brother felt that he had lost his dignity in front of his two younger brothers yesterday, and today the prince wanted to make up for it, so he came over to say something, went directly into the fourth elder brother's house, and couldn't wait to say: "In the early years, people outside praised the prince for his generosity, but we brothers didn't do it either. I have seen a few of them before, and I have seen them once today. Who would have thought that it would actually complete the gift from yesterday..."

The fourth elder brother put down the file in his hand, stood up, and asked the third elder brother to sit down.

The third elder brother said proudly: "Tsk, tsk! We were still young. If you want to embarrass us, just embarrass us? Brothers don't get along and let outsiders laugh. Khan Ama will not allow him to act like that. He must have been reprimanded. I just thought of looking for compensation..."

The fourth elder brother also knows that the prince is arrogant. Even if he is wrong, he will not take the initiative to make amends. The reason why he can act like this today is because of the emperor.

It's just that what happened yesterday was a bit strange. The fourth elder brother didn't say anything and poured the ready-made tea in the teapot into the third elder brother's cup.

The third brother felt his mouth was dry, so he picked it up and took a sip, almost spitting out: "How do you use this to make tea?"

It turns out that this is mint tea. Even though rock sugar is added, it has a slight sweetness, but it seems to have a medicinal taste.

Brother Si said: "Mint has a pungent and cool taste, which refreshes the mind and makes you feel sleepy after drinking it..."

The third elder brother hurriedly put down his tea cup and thanked Bu Min.

When he saw the high files on Brother Si's desk, he couldn't help but frown and said, "What do you think of these older people? What do the chiefs and postists down there do? If you want to check something, I just gave it a casual order and let them sort it out!"

Brother Si said: "It's the river engineering accounts allocated in the past few years. Look at the cost of materials for building embankments and the cost of manual throwing..."

The third elder brother disapproved of the fourth elder brother's hard work in doing everything, but he knew that he had been serious since he was a child, so he said: "Other people don't believe it, isn't there a ninth younger brother? The ninth younger brother comes here to learn errands, you can just order him..."

Fourth Brother said: "Don't be in a hurry."

Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground.

It is necessary for Brother Jiu to understand the rules and regulations of the household department before talking about other things.

Avoid being frizzy and prone to making mistakes.

At this moment, Brother Ten will arrive.

The wing room is small, and there are no curtains in the east and west rooms.

The tenth elder brother stood at the door of the east room, greeted the two elder brothers, and then returned to the west room to find the ninth elder brother.

He also wanted to talk about the prince's "replacement" gift, and whispered to Brother Ninth: "Since the prince wants to be careful, he will probably send someone to Brother Ninth's house tomorrow to send congratulatory gifts. Then Brother Ninth will go directly to the house." The treasury is ready. The people in Yuqing Palace are very courageous. Brother Jiu has offended them before." Brother Jiu heard this and said, "How dare you be more courageous? Do you still dare to tamper with them?"

You won't be sending rose dew tomorrow, right?

He didn't care about that.

Neither he nor Shu Shu liked floral dew that had a particularly strong smell.

Brother 10 looked at the tea bowl in his hand and said: "It's not that, it's medicinal wine... That one is too much and will ruin your body..."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing and said: "What do you think, the prince? Send rose dew first, and then medicine wine. Why is this not the place where you care?"

Iron brothers like him and Lao Shi didn't even worry about his brother's affairs. How could the prince have such leisure?

He rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean, Prince? Is this because we are afraid that there will be more legitimate sons in our house, and we wish we could have more nephews, so that the grandson's status will not be high?"

Of the two grandsons of Yuqing Palace, Hongxi's biological mother had been deposed as an official daughter before her death, while Hongjin's biological mother was just Gege.

To be honest, neither of them came from a high background.

After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "It's not because of this. The Crown Prince doesn't even pay attention to us, so why would he care about the emperor's grandson below him? He probably just casually ordered people to give four kinds of gifts, and the people below him are not happy. Okay, here’s a little plan…”

But he also understood what Brother Ten meant, which was to be careful and don't use anything at the entrance.

At this time, the third elder brother came over and said with a smile: "Old Ten is here to tell you the news, right? The news in the Zongren Mansion has always been well-informed, and everyone is idle. They just drink tea and gossip all day long. !”

The two brothers were sitting by the kang. When they saw him coming in, they gave up their seats.

Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Third brother, you are so honorable. You asked the prince to give you two gifts. Brother, I don't feel at ease. If our house invites guests tomorrow, the prince does not reward me. Isn't that shabby? It also shows cowardice, which makes people wonder if the prince doesn't look down on me..."

Although it has not yet entered summer, the third elder brother already had a folding fan in his hand. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He pointed the fan at the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother and said, "I won't leave you two behind. This time You have taken advantage of me, brother!"

Brother Jiu couldn't help but smile when he saw how uncomfortable he was and said, "I really admire you. This is taking advantage of the Crown Prince. Why do you still feel pain in your body?"

The third elder brother closed the fan and said: "You can't say that. The prince came to attack me yesterday. If you want to make up for it after this, you should go to me to make up for it. If you make up for it in front of you and Lao Shi, I will lose my dignity." If you pick it up, you will suffer a loss!"

Brother Ninth Brother said: "Then if you are suffering from pain two days later, the prince may not even remember Lao Shi and me. We can't compare with you, Brother Three. Who do you think we are little brothers?"

The third elder brother felt comfortable, but he said: "You're not young anymore, you're already twenty, and you have a title, so you can't be lazy anymore..."

After a while, Zhou Song brought a food box, but the third elder brother and the tenth elder brother did not leave. They also took the special dishes from the household department with them. The brothers took a bite of them before they dispersed.

Jiubele Mansion, main room.

Shu Shu is meeting the nanny sent by the Crown Princess.

Although tomorrow is the official day to treat guests, today the Crown Princess sent people over to send congratulations.

"How is Sangege? Has your cough been relieved?"

Shu Shu asked Bai Guo to take the gift list, then asked someone to bring a round stool to the nanny, and then asked.

Now that the prince is in Changchun Garden, the princess does not follow him in the palace. The external reason is that Sangege has "whooping cough".

There is an imperial doctor in the palace, so naturally it is impossible to talk about the child's body. This body should be real.

The grandma said: "The imperial doctor prescribed medicine and I feel better, but I have spring ringworm again..."

Shu Shu listened and felt like she had a pollen allergy.

Although the vegetation in the palace is not luxuriant, there are flower and grass rooms in Jingshan, and each palace room has flower and tree pots.

After chatting for a quarter of an hour, Shu Shu served the guests tea and Ging Guo also gave them tea envelopes.

When Bai Guo came back from delivering the gift, Shu Shu also read the gift list, handed it to Bai Guo and said, "Check it out and put it in the warehouse..."

Bai Guo agreed, took the gift list, glanced at it, a little surprised, and said: "Fu Jin, there is no Gong Xian'er here..."

Although it is only the end of March, the Duanyang tribute from Guangdong and Fujian has already arrived in Beijing.

Two days ago, the Queen Mother sent Aunt Bai over with a plate of mandarin oranges and two red and yellow pomeloes, as well as a box of agarwood and a box of lotus incense.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "This is the thoughtfulness of the Crown Princess..."

Things that are not available outside are only available in Yuqing Palace. The Crown Princess brings them as gifts, as if to show off.

Bai Guo understood, took the gift list, and went down to count it.

When Brother Ninth came back, he found out that the Crown Princess had sent someone to give him a gift, and said to Shu Shu: "I don't know if the Crown Prince will reward you tomorrow or not. This couple is interesting. I plan to live like this from now on." ?”

Shu Shu said: "It's so comfortable in the palace. When we get to the West Garden, the Crown Princess is just a big housekeeper. She doesn't have to worry about it, but it probably won't last long. The Queen Mother is also in Changchun Garden. When the weather gets hot after the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone will go to Haidian. , the Crown Princess will probably move there..."
