My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1910: Harsh Advice
Jueluo was a straightforward person. Since she decided to go home first, she came to tell the Ninth Prince early the next morning.

The Ninth Prince was a little at a loss, thinking that his mother-in-law was angry.

Wasn't it wrong for me to be so clever last night?
Jueluo explained the reason: "It's mainly because there are many things to do during the New Year. Fusong's wife is young and I am worried. I will come here before Jiu Ye goes out, and stay for a few more days."

The Ninth Prince swallowed the words of apology on his lips and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll take you back tomorrow."

Jueluo shook her head and said, "No, I'm going back today and I won't take my bedding and luggage with me."

Although she said so, the Ninth Prince felt it was not appropriate to do so, so he personally sent the person back to the Dutong Mansion.

"Then you should take care of the family first, and I will come to pick you up in a few days..."

The Ninth Prince stepped forward, helped the person out of the car, and said.

Jueluo said: "No need, I will go there after the festival is over."

At this time, Fusong and Zhuliang also received the news and came out to greet them.

The Ninth Prince nodded to Fusong, and then said to Zhuliang, "Congratulations, the date has finally been set, but I can't make it. When I come back, I will treat you two to a drink."

Zhu Liang was a little shy and said, "It's my fault. I made my father and mother worry about it."

This refers to the repeated postponement of the wedding date.

The Ninth Prince patted his shoulder and said, "Why are you taking all the blame for yourself? It's fine at home, but you can't be so honest outside in the future, or else others will take advantage of you and really blame you."

The Ninth Prince still had to go to the Imperial Household Department, but knowing that Qi Xi was not at home, he did not go in.

He said to Fusong, "Take your younger brother and sister-in-law to visit the Prince's Mansion more often, and then go to the inner study to make up the numbers. Don't let your sister worry about the child."

Fu Song nodded and said, "Even if you didn't tell us to, we would have gone there. It's our duty."

The door was not a place to talk, so the Ninth Prince got on the carriage and went to the yamen.

Fusong and Zhuliang accompanied Jueluo into the mansion.

Seeing that she didn't even bring back her luggage, I knew she would leave again in a few days.

Jueluo didn't want them to think too much, so she said, "There's nothing to watch over there. Before Master Jiu goes out, I'll come back and stay for a while. I'll go back before he goes out, and stay a little longer then."

Seeing that she looked relaxed and no longer worried, Fusong and Zhuliang knew that their sister was fine and they also breathed a sigh of relief...

Because of the delay in sending someone off, the Ninth Prince arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs after the beginning of the Si hour.

The twelfth prince has arrived in the duty room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

There was another person next to him, chattering away.

"It's already the second quarter of the first lunar month, why hasn't Brother Nine arrived yet? Did he go to bed too late and not get up?"

It was the Fourteenth Prince, who sat at the desk with a look of disdain, looking around, and his words had a hint of other meaning.

No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, it doesn't make sense for one person to live with the other.

There are so many princesses and maids in the Prince's Mansion, so there is no shortage of people to serve the male master.

Outsiders all say that the Eighth Lady is jealous. The Fourteenth Prince feels that his Ninth Sister-in-law is no worse, she just pretends to be good in front of the elders.

The Ninth Prince was lifting the door curtain and raised his eyebrows when he saw the big boss look on his face.

"Brother Ninth..."

The Fourteenth Prince's eyes just happened to glance at the door and he quickly jumped off the table.

The Ninth Prince looked the Fourteenth Prince up and down and asked in surprise, "Huh? Why do I think you look different from when you were a child?"

The Fourteenth Prince was embarrassed when he was caught talking behind his back, but he didn't expect the Ninth Prince to take a different approach and talk about his appearance, which stunned him for a moment.

The Twelfth Prince was listening and also looked at the Fourteenth Prince.

He used to be a little prince who loved to laugh and make noises, and looked spoiled and unruly. Now his smiles are stiff, with the corners of his mouth drooping, and he looks like something is not right.

The Fourteenth Prince came to his senses. He was neither annoyed nor not annoyed. He asked with a bit of curiosity, "What's different?"

The Ninth Prince pointed at his face and said, "You look shy, like someone collecting debts!"

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

After the Ninth Prince had finished scolding his younger brother, he felt happy.

Just then, the twelfth prince stood up to offer his seat to him, so he sat down in the twelfth prince's seat without hesitation.

The Fourteenth Prince exhaled and said, "Ninth Brother, your mouth is getting more and more powerful."

The Ninth Prince snorted and said, "Your popularity is getting worse and worse."

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

He wanted to deny it, but he couldn't lie with his eyes open.

Now that he is trying to get close to the Eighth Prince, there is nothing that can be done about it.

He pulled a chair and sat down in front of the Ninth Prince. With a more sincere look on his face, he said, "My brothers and I are much older than each other. I grew up with the Thirteenth Brother when I was little. Now that the Thirteenth Brother is busy, I have become a lone ranger..."

The Ninth Prince scratched his ears and said, "Do you believe what I said?"

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

The Ninth Prince remembered that the Fourteenth Prince was difficult to tame, and had no intention of getting close to him. He just didn't want him to cause trouble, which would then have the Fourth Prince to clean up.

He looked at the Fourteenth Prince and said, "I am your elder brother after all. I am giving you some advice today. Whether you like it or not is up to you."

"Brother Jiu, you said..."

The Fourteenth Prince sounded a little anxious.

He also wanted to break the impasse, but he felt unsure of the direction.

When he went to the study, he stuck to the Thirteenth Prince and had a companion.

Now that he is an adult, he has his own job, so it is impossible for him to stick to the Thirteenth Prince.

There is indeed an age difference between him and his other brothers.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the twelfth prince.

Actually, he and the twelfth prince are only three years apart in age, but they have never been close since they were young, and they feel unfamiliar with each other when they grow up.

The Ninth Prince gestured with his mouth and said, "Talk less, especially in front of your brothers. If you can avoid talking, don't talk. Just listen honestly."

Fourteenth Brother: "..."

He had a look of doubt on his face, not sure whether what Ninth Prince said was true or he was just being mean to him.

The Ninth Prince had done his part in persuading him, then waved his hand and said, "We still have work to do, so we don't have time to talk nonsense. Let's go back to the Prince's residence!"

The Fourteenth Prince stood up, glanced at the Ninth Prince, and said, "Ninth Brother said this about me, but didn't Ninth Brother say less?"

The Ninth Prince said with a bit of pride, "I am different from you. You have been cunning since childhood, and you like to be petty. Your words are either sarcastic or sour, and you don't like to listen. I am very honest. Even if there are a few words that I don't like, they are good advice!"

The Fourteenth Prince was speechless.

Who believes this?

Who was the one with a foul mouth and a tendency to slap people in the face back then?

But the twelfth prince was still nodding and agreeing beside him: "Ninth brother's words are not unpleasant to the ear, they are all good words, and they are well-intentioned."

The Fourteenth Prince stamped his feet and said, "Ninth Brother and Fifth Brother are becoming more and more alike!"

The Ninth Prince felt confused and didn't follow the Fourteenth Prince's lead. Instead, he asked, "Are you not similar to the Fifth Brother?"

The Fourteenth Prince curled his lips and said, "Similar, both are foolish on the outside but cunning on the inside..."

Having said that, he strode away.

The young man still had some dignity left to him, and after being scolded by the Ninth Prince, he couldn't save his face.

The Ninth Prince looked at the door with a happy expression on his face, and asked the Twelfth Prince, "What does the Fourteenth Prince mean by praising me for my intelligence?"

The Fourteenth Prince heard what was happening at the door and slipped.

Saying that Ninth Brother resembles Fifth Brother is really flattering him. Fifth Brother is really talented, and this one is not even close...

The twelfth prince nodded without hesitation and said, "Ninth brother is smart..."

The Ninth Prince coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, and looked at the table.

"Where's the paper and pen? Find some for me. I need to write a letter to Khan Ama..."

This was because he remembered Shushu's reminder last night, and he was planning to report the matter of Guan Shaoqi to the emperor and make a report on the planting of corn and potatoes in Xianghe County.

Before Gao Bin was appointed as the magistrate of Xianghe County, he followed the Fourth Prince to try growing potatoes in Haidian, so he gained some experience.

Potatoes consume soil resources, but the use of seedlings is to make fertilizer and increase soil fertility.

With such supplementation and rotation of crops, it should be fine.

As to whether it is possible to grow potatoes for a long time, the results are still unknown.

The twelfth prince found paper and pen, helped the ninth prince to lay out the plan, and ground the ink himself.

He was not an outsider and knew about the official business, so the Ninth Prince told him about his plan.

"The main thing is the ingredients for making liquor. We need to prepare them now. Gao Bin has grown potatoes and corn three times. He has a lot of experience and is more reliable than others..."

He also mentioned that he planned to place the official distillery in the Lifanyuan to be responsible for the production of medicinal wine.

The twelfth prince remembered that the emperor always brought a large amount of palace silk, palace satin and imperial artifacts when he went on tour, as gifts, so he said: "The medicinal wine can not only be sold to Mongolia, but also to Jiangnan. Nowadays, the capital likes to follow the trends of Jiangnan, but I heard that Jiangnan also likes to inquire about the preferences of the people in the capital..."

The Ninth Prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "My Lord forgot about them. There are as many wealthy families in Jiangnan as in Mongolia. It's a pity that we can't catch up this time..."
