My father-in-law is Kangxi

The incense shop owner's forehead was covered with sweat, and his body was hunched over even more.

Sibeile Mansion and Jiubele Mansion have always been on good terms, and this shopkeeper followed Cao Shun from the capital to Shengjing.

Who can be called "master" by Cao Shun is still at this age, how can anyone else?

Cao Shun is covered by the Three Banners!

Because of Cao Yin, Kangxi also had a certain love for Cao Shun, saying: "Do your job well and don't let your uncle worry."

This was also the "heir" who had been registered as Cao Yin, and he was also the nephew who was raised by himself. He later returned to the house because Cao Yin had a biological son.

Kangxi felt that it was inappropriate to repeat this. How could he have too many sons?

Cao Shun and Cao Yin's biological son only had two seedlings.

Children are difficult to raise.

Even if there are big ones, there are also crooked ones.

After all, Cao Shun is the grandson of Cao's family. It seems that he has no choice in his upbringing and behavior. Even if he has a biological child, they can't afford to raise him together. Why should he hurt the child's heart?

He remembered again that Cao Yin's character and behavior were not mean.

The companion of the fifteenth elder brother was supposed to choose Cao Yin's only son to enter the palace, but Cao Yin asked for favor and chose the candidate from his nephews.

Kangxi sighed in his heart.

This is what the old saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Cao Yin was cautious when he was on duty, but he handled this family matter in a confused manner.

If you are mean, be mean to the end; if you are generous, be generous to the end.

Repeatedly, the family members who take advantage of the situation get further and further, and the children who have been raised feel chilled.

Kangxi lost interest in wandering around, pointed to a few boxes of sandalwood, and ordered Liang Jiugong to pay the bill.

Liang Jiugong settled the bill, and the total was one or two taels of silver. After conversion, it was three taels of silver per box of sandalwood. This price was not cheap.

Kangxi looked a little surprised.

However, things are rare and expensive. As the only incense shop in the palace shopping street, the sandalwood looks exquisite, and the price is acceptable.

I just didn't expect that the fourth elder brother didn't seem to care about money, but he knew it in his heart and was not blindly pedantic.

After coming out of the incense shop, Kangxi and his entourage wanted to go back to the palace, but a carriage stopped next to them.

Guards in regular uniforms came forward and separated Kangxi from the carriage.

The carriage curtain opened, revealing Princess Rongxian and his wife.

The prince-in-law jumped out of the carriage and helped the princess down.

"Amma..."

Princess Rongxian felt a little happy and stepped forward to support Kangxi.

Although your Majesty has already seen the princess when she comes to court, it is convenient to enter and exit the palace on weekdays.

However, because the emperor had to deal with government affairs, the father and daughter only met once.

Kangxi always loved this daughter. When he saw her being as close to him as an ordinary daughter, he smiled and said, "Where are you and your wife going? Why are you coming out at this time?"

At that time, the princes and daughters in the palace kept dying, but Princess Rongxian, the eldest daughter, had a different weight in Kangxi's heart.

Although Concubine Rong was confused, Princess Rongxian had an unworthy temper and was sensible and sensible. Kangxi still loved this daughter.

It was already the beginning of the afternoon, and it was almost dinner time.

Princess Rongxian smiled and said: "Isn't this Jiu Di's restaurant famous? I heard that the pot is delicious. Nowadays, this restaurant is the most mentioned in the resident account. It has a taste that is not available outside. My daughter wants to follow it. Prince-in-law, let’s go and see..."

At this point, she sniffed and said, "The smell is overwhelming. You can smell it from a long way away. Why don't my daughter be the host and Amma go and have a taste..."

The street is filled with the spicy and meaty smell that lingers in your nose.

Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the desire of the tongue. He only managed a few mouthfuls this morning. Now that he smelled this smell, he was really hungry, so he nodded and said: "Then go and experience it."

The shopping street is only this long in total. Restaurants, teahouses and pastry shops are all close to each other. Avoid the shops in the middle. It's not too far away. It only takes about 200 steps to get there.

After others paid their dues, Cao Shun stood at the door of the incense shop to see off the Holy Driver. He looked at the Holy Driver and saw the Holy Driver taking Princess Rongxian and his wife into the restaurant, and then trotted to the Prince's Courtyard.

Brother Ninth is also here, and the couple is also preparing to eat pot for lunch.

It's the third lunar month, so eating spicy food can also whet your appetite.

It's just that Brother Jiu doesn't like spicy food very much, so he prepared the Mandarin Duck Pot.

Cao Shun came over and reported that Shengjia had taken Princess Rongxian and his wife to a restaurant for dinner.

The couple looked at each other.

Brother Ninth hesitated.

I really don't want to move, but he is the boss and there is such a small place near the palace, so he wants to pretend not to know and be disrespectful.

And Princess Rongxian is here...

Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "Then let's go over and have a look?"

Shu Shu felt a little worried after hearing this.

It’s about the dragon body, so be careful with anything you put in your mouth.

Spicy hot pot…

For people who have never eaten spicy food, their stomachs can't stand it and they are prone to accidents.

When the time comes, it is no longer a poison, but it has become a poison.

The couple changed their clothes for going out and came out. Cao Shun had already led people to prepare the carriage.

The two of them took the car to Buying Street.

When the couple entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper came up to say hello.

Brother Jiu pointed to the upstairs and said: "Just now an old man brought his daughter and son-in-law here. Which private room are they in?" The shopkeeper replied: "In the 'Yuan' brand..."

There are a total of eight private rooms on the second floor. The four largest ones are called "Wealth and Prosperity" and the middle one is called "Taiping Jinxiu".

Among them, the "Cai" box is reserved and does not accept outsiders, waiting for instructions from Brother Jiu.

Look at this, Shengjia didn't reveal his identity.

Brother Jiu asked clearly and took Shu Shu to the second floor.

Outside the "Yuan" box, Ma Wu brought several guards to guard the door.

Seeing Brother Jiu and Shu Shu, Ma Wu bowed and said, "Master Jiu, Jiu Fujin..."

Because of Ma Qi, Brother Jiu was relatively familiar with the Fucha brothers, but they knew how to avoid suspicion and had no contact with each other in private.

Brother Jiu said: "I heard... Amma and my second sister are here. I'll bring Fujin here to say hello and let me know..."

The walls of the box are made of solid wooden boards sandwiched with cotton, which has good sound insulation effect.

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu stood at the door and couldn't hear anything going on inside. Even thinking about it, they couldn't hear anything going on outside.

Ma Wu responded and knocked on the door softly twice.

Liang Jiugong was waiting inside the door. When he saw this, he opened the door and saw Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.

The father, daughter, and husband-in-law were talking in the room, but when they heard the noise, they all stopped talking and looked towards the door.

Liang Jiugong turned around and said, "Master, Master Jiu has brought Jiu Fujin and is waiting at the door."

Kangxi said: "Ask them to come in."

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu heard it and entered the house.

The consort with two foreheads stood up.

The prince-in-law's rank was downgraded by three levels from the princess, so he was certainly not as good as Prince Baylor, the ninth prince.

Princess Rongxian sat quietly, smiling as she watched her younger brother and sister-in-law come in, and said, "The pot has just been served and I am about to use the chopsticks."

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu paid their respects to Kangxi and met Princess Rongxian and his wife before they got Kangxi's orders and followed them to their seats.

The copper pots used in the palace were not used, but split charcoal basins and mandarin duck pots.

Brother Jiu sat down under Kangxi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said: "The mandarin duck pot is good, but if it's spicy pot, my grandmother and my second sister won't be used to it, so don't get upset..."

Princess Rongxian said: "The shopkeeper explained it carefully just now. The spicy hot pot is also slightly spicy, so it's okay."

Kangxi said: "There are also chili peppers in the imperial dining room now. What are you talking about?"

Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, chili peppers are different from chili peppers. The chili peppers purchased in the imperial kitchen are not spicy at all, but the spicy butter pot base prepared by my son's restaurant is stir-fried with spicier small chili peppers." , For those who have never had this bite, their stomachs really can’t stand it.”

"butter……"

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu with a look of unkindness on his face and said, "Are you using butter so much?"

The supply of beef cattle in the capital is considerable.

The only people who can legitimately eat beef are the guards in the Forbidden City.

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "This is a cow given to my son by my son's father-in-law. He bought a herd outside my home and fostered it in the pasture of Peng Chun's family. They are all Mongolian cattle, which are meant to eat meat..."

Peng Chun is an old nobleman of Zhenghongqi, and has the famous Zhenghongqi Ranch in his name.

Even if it is not as big as the pasture of Prince Kang's Mansion, it is not too small. However, the Duke's Mansion has declined in recent years, and there are not enough cattle and sheep in it.

Qi Xi knew about it, so he bought a herd of cattle and spent money to foster them there.

Kangxi listened and glanced at Shu Shu, who was bowing his head.

Soothe your eyes, look at your nose, and look at your nose and mind, it's very peaceful.

Kangxi felt blushing. His son was hopeless and he had not taken advantage of the Yue family enough.

The same goes for Qi Xi. Is he too spoiled?

These are all married women. They spent half of their family property preparing dowry, and the subsidies after marriage are also constant.

Are you blind?

Is this young couple short of money?

Kangxi felt a little guilty.

As an amma and a father-in-law, he seemed to be receiving filial piety from the young couple without much support.

He glanced at Princess Rongxian. The eldest daughter was different after all.

Kangxi also had a fatherly heart. Thinking that the ninth elder brother and his wife knew how to subsidize several princesses, he felt sorry for Princess Rongxian's meager salary. He said: "The shops here are all empty. You can choose from Musca later." Two of them, you can let them out to collect rent, or you can use them for your own use."

Princess Rongxian stood up, but did not directly thank her. Instead, she said: "Khan Amaron, my daughter shouldn't be verbose. It's just that my daughter married far away and couldn't serve Khan Ama. She was already feeling guilty and uneasy. Why did she tolerate it so shamelessly?" Grace? If Khan Amma is criticized because of her daughter, it will be her daughter’s fault."

What this means is that there are four princesses in the palace now, and they are not worried about the number but the inequality.

Kangxi hummed and said, "You can just keep what I'm happy to give you. I'll ask Chunxi to pick two rooms later."

Princess Rongxian then knelt down, smiled heartily, and said: "My daughter thanks Khan Amma for her kindness. Next year the Holy Emperor will come to stay in Rehe. My daughter will also open two shops to honor Khan Amma..."

Neither father nor daughter mentioned the third princess, nor did they mention Jiu Gege.

As a princess staying in Beijing, Jiu Gege received subsidies from the Queen Mother for her dowry, so she was already wealthier than her sisters above her.

As for the third princess, if you are wrong, you are wrong.

The three-faced concubine disrespected the princess and deserved to be reprimanded, but the third princess, as Princess Fumeng, managed the marriage as it was now and deserved to be punished...
