The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Fifth Lord felt that he must have committed some terrible crime in his previous life, otherwise he would not have encountered such a tragic retribution in this life!

Does he know what he's talking about?

Is he crazy for bringing the prince down?

They are here today to collect debts, if they can't get it, forget it, why put their own life on it?

Brother Jiu's words almost knocked Wu Ye out of his wits on the spot. As an honest person far away from the center of seizing the throne, it was really difficult for him. His Huang Ama told him to look at Xiao Jiu, don't let He is too floating, but the problem is that now he is not too floating, he wants to go to heaven!

What can I do?

Wu Ye, who was so frightened that he couldn't straighten his tongue, said that if he survived this catastrophe, he would definitely not cooperate with Brother Jiu in the future, and let's not talk about whether things can be done, but this is too much for Brother Fei a little?

King Zhijun didn't know what Fifth Master was thinking, of course, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not in the current situation, what is important is that he wants to know what Brother Jiu meant by saying this?

Things like pies falling from the sky are naturally easy to make people happy, but Zhijun Wang is not really stupid enough to think that all pies falling from the sky are natural, non-toxic and harmless.

So after hearing Brother Jiu say this, King Zhijun, who was pleasantly surprised for a moment and soon (bushi) regained his senses, asked, "Brother Jiu, do you know what you are talking about?"

"Of course." Brother Jiu didn't care if his own words scared his own brother crazy, because all his focus is now on King Zhijun. Hearing his question, he said, "Could it be possible?" Am I wrong about what big brother is thinking?"

Not that.

Zhijun Wang thought to himself that he wanted to get the prince out of office even in his dreams, but is there really a free lunch in the world?He didn't forget how he had tried so hard to win Brother Nine before, but he was indifferent in the end.

To be honest, the king of Zhijun was able to lower his social status, and it can be said that he has made some progress by personally wooing the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother. My younger brother puts it in my eyes.

"Ninth brother's attitude seems to have changed a bit too quickly?" Zhijun Wang looked at Jiu elder brother and met his suspicious eyes. Jiu elder brother didn't show any panic or guilty look, he said, "That's not enough. Isn't it because today is different from the past?"

Seeing that King Zhijun was listening attentively, Brother Jiu continued, "Frankly speaking, I really didn't want to get involved in the matter between you and the prince, because everyone knows how much Huang Ama loves the prince. It is known, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen last year?"

Originally, the two old foxes, Suo'etu and Mingzhu, had played tricks on each other in the court, but the reason why they have been standing firmly in the court for so many years is not because they are both cats and have nine lives. Because they are all koi, they are all so lucky, but because Kangxi who is sitting on the dragon chair needs them, so every time whoever loses the upper hand, Kangxi will give a hand, and whoever has the upper hand, Kangxi will take a pat.

Everyone thought that this situation would last forever, but who would have thought that Kangxi would suddenly attack Suo'etu?

It doesn't matter whether Suo'etu really encouraged the prince to kill his father to seize the throne. What's important is that Kangxi started last year to eliminate the Suo party. It can be seen that he can't tolerate the prince anymore.

How could King Zhijun fail to receive the information released by Kangxi?Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited before. After all, the prince's status has been solid for so many years, and even the king of Zhijun thought that Kangxi would favor him to the end.

"Brother, you have seen Huang Ama's attitude towards the prince in the past six months. Before, I always thought that the prince's position was unshakable. In the end, everything I thought was overthrown by Huang Ama."

Brother Nine talked eloquently, "As long as the person standing on the edge of the cliff is pushed lightly, the fate is obvious. Brother, think about it, if the crown prince is removed from power, who will be in power?"

That must be me!

The king of Zhijun thought confidently, after Lao Er stepped down, who else would be the crown prince?

That's right, King Zhijun is so confident. If he thinks that the crown prince is not good enough, then Kangxi will definitely make him the eldest son. As for the other younger brothers who have grown up?

I'm sorry, Zhijun Wang couldn't see them at all.

"Then what can you do?" Zhijun Wang seemed to ask casually, but since he asked, it meant that he already believed that Brother Jiu and the others really came to help him.

But then again, even if Brother Nine and the others didn't really come to help him, it's okay to listen to it. Maybe the method he gave is really useful?

"The solution is very simple. First of all, don't add insult to injury to the prince."

"What kind of solution is this?"

"Brother, just think about it. Huang Ama has been hurting the prince for so many years. Although she is not as good as before, will Huang Ama be happy if he sees you hurting him?"

Ninth elder brother took it for granted, "And people sympathize with the weak. If you keep throwing stones at the prince, maybe it will arouse Huang Ama's fatherly heart towards the prince. At that time, you will not only throw stones at him. Your own feet, and Huang Ama will think you have no brotherhood."

like……

It is not unreasonable.

King Zhijun heard what Brother Jiu said, and then asked: "This will make the prince step down?"

"Of course not." Brother Jiu said, "This is just the first step, there is a second step."

"Then what's the second step?"

"The second step is that you have to do something to prove that you are better than the prince." Brother Jiu said, "In this way, won't your impression score in Huang Ama be high? Maybe the prince will see it then, You will also make random tricks, saying that the first to flirt is cheap, so that it will be more able to show that you have brotherhood."

"Then what can you do now?" Prince Zhijun asked in a rare shameless manner.

"It's very simple, share your worries for Huang Ama." Brother Jiu said, "Brother, think about it, if you encounter any difficulties, your family Hongyu will help you share your worries, don't you feel very heartwarming?"

Hearing what Brother Jiu said, King Zhijun fantasized about the situation for a while, and then found that...

He has a point.

"Now there is an opportunity in front of you." After so much preparation, Brother Jiu finally expressed his purpose, "Who doesn't know that Huang Ama is worried about the empty treasury. Huang Ama solves this troublesome matter, what will Huang Ama think, brother, don't I need to say it directly?"

"After all, do you still want the master to pay back the money?" Zhijun Wang said in a deep voice.

Fifth Master, who has always been in charge of being frightened, was forced to listen to Brother Jiu's outrageous words, and he would have been scared to death. If he didn't know how to react, he would have wanted to pull Brother Jiu away people.

Now that King Zhijun presented the opportunity to him, the fifth master hurriedly said: "If elder brother doesn't want to pay back the money, then forget it, just pretend that my ninth brother and I haven't been here today..."

While Wu Ye was talking, he pulled Brother Jiu up and was about to get up and leave. Seeing that he was impatient and didn't look like he was acting, King Zhijun quickly grabbed them one by one and said, "What's the rush?" I haven't finished talking yet, if what Jiudi said makes sense, it's not impossible to ask Master to pay back the money."

Fifth Lord: "...???"

That's not what he said just now!

How can a person be so fickle?

Wu Ye, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to pull Brother Jiu away, saw King Zhijun grabbing his hand, and suddenly felt like crying, brother, can you kindly let him go?

"Brother, you also know Fifth Brother's temperament. If you wrong us like this, Fifth Brother will be happy." Brother Jiu complained to King Zhijun, and then said to Fifth Master, "But Fifth Brother, don't take it to heart. , Don’t you know what kind of temperament the eldest brother is? He definitely didn’t mean it.”

"Yes, yes, yes." At first, King Zhijun wanted to put on airs, but the fifth master suddenly made a move, which made King Zhijun unable to continue to put on airs, and was actually taken aback by him, "Jiudi said What's more, don't take it to heart, Old Five, let's talk it out if we have something to say."

Fifth Master, who was pushed back on the chair by Brother Jiu and King Zhijun again: "..."

He didn't want to say anything.

o (╥﹏╥) o

"Ninth brother, you continue." Zhijun Wang said, and then Jiu elder brother continued, "Although it is true that I want you to pay back the money, but paying back the money is not the purpose, but to please Huang Ama is the purpose. Big brother, just think about it. After Ertu fell from the horse, did the people from the prince's lineage die or get hurt?"

Zhijun Wang nodded.

"Combined with Huang Ama's current attitude towards the prince, are there not many ministers in the court who dare to get close to the prince?"

Zhijun Wang nodded again.

"In this way, elder brother, have you ever thought that the prince may not be able to pay back the money from the treasury?" Brother Jiu said, "If the prince does not pay back the money, but you actively pay back the money, then in this case In regards to the matter, you and the crown prince immediately came to a conclusion in Huang Ama's mind."

When Brother Nine said this, King Zhijun suddenly opened up. When he often had no money, Mingzhu secretly stuffed him with a lot of money to seize the heir apparent. You don’t need to think about it, you know that Suo’etu must have done this too. things.

But now that Suo'etu is dead, and the prince's line has been hit hard again, do you want the prince to pay back the money?

No problem, but the problem is——

Is the prince willing to pay back?

And if the prince is willing to pay it back, will he have the money to pay it back?

Thinking of the predicament the prince is facing now, King Zhijun couldn't help laughing. If he didn't pay it back, rounding it up would be like giving the prince an excuse not to pay it back, so...

"Fifth Brother, don't worry, Ninth Brother, the master has returned the money!"

It must be paid back!

Those who sell the pot and sell the iron will have to pay it back!

The so-called strike while the iron is hot, Brother Jiu suggested that if he wants to pay back the money, he should do it as soon as possible, so that he can show that he wants to relieve Huang Ama's worries, so he just sent someone to invite the people from the Ministry of Accounts to come over and do the accounting. It's done.

In fact, I was worried that King Zhijun would repent after he calmed down, but Brother Jiu said nicely: "Brother, think about it, if Huang Ama knows that you are the first one to actively repay the money among so many sons... ..."

Brother Jiu hadn't finished speaking, the King Zhijun said, "Come on, go to the household department and ask someone to come and write off the account!"

Because the king of Zhijun shouted anxiously, the people below were naturally anxious. Faced with such a debtor who actively repays the money, he asked the people in the household department if they were moved?

Everyone in the household department who was urged to come to the door to collect the arrears like a urging: "..."

Don't dare to move. Don't dare to move.

Because it was so abnormal that the two household officials who were named to the Zhijun Wangfu to collect the arrears and write off the accounts were worried that this was a conspiracy by the Zhijun Wang?Will they never come back?The king of Zhijun should not be so bold as to murder the imperial court official, right?

The two adults from the household department who came to the door with anxiety and uneasiness were a little bit unresponsive after successfully receiving the arrears from King Zhijun and successfully canceling the account.

They always thought that Zhijun Wang, who was the least likely to pay back the money, actually paid back the money? ? ?

Not to mention the two lords of the household department, even other people found it unbelievable that the king of Zhijun actually repaid the money owed to the treasury. He was not always the boss of Kangxi, his second son. of it?To be able to repay the money so smoothly is simply beyond everyone's expectations.

Among them, the most unbelievable person was Eighth Master. After discussing with his staff that day, Eighth Master finally decided to take one of the methods, which was to use Zhijun as a shield.

He Zhuo's thinking is not unreasonable, but the problem is that Ba Ye can find a sum of money to fill the debt owed to the treasury, and he really can't get it out for a while.

So in the end, Ba Ye could only choose to attack Zhijun Wang, and it happened that he had no intention of paying back the money, so he put Zhijun Wang in front of him as his own shield with almost no effort from Ba Ye.

As the staff said, now everyone knows that he belongs to King Zhijun, and everyone knows that King Zhijun is a domineering person. He will not allow Ba Ye to betray him to repay the loan. Is it possible that Ba Ye can still "resist"? ?

As for Brother Jiu...

Although Ba Ye can't come up with so much money to pay back at once, but he can raise part of it from other places. Of course, because no one knows that Ba Ye has financial problems, so they will only think that he has to He listened to King Zhijun's order, but still had brotherly affection for Brother Jiu.

Originally, Ba Ye had arranged everything clearly, but it turned out that Zhijun Wang was lucky, and suddenly he came up with a stroke of genius, which directly confused Ba Ye.

All Ba Ye's calculations were based on the fact that King Zhijun was unwilling to pay back the money and prevented him from paying back the money. Now that King Zhijun was willing to pay back the money, how could he stop him from paying back the money?

So Ba Ye had a headache, because he could predict what kind of trouble he would encounter next.

Brother Jiu didn't know how Ba Ye was worried. After successfully fooling him with King Zhijun until he paid back all the debts, Brother Jiu didn't stay in Zhijun Prince's mansion for too long. Grandpa left together.

On the way back, Brother Jiu smiled and said to Fifth Master: "Sure enough, brothers are united, and their benefits cut through gold. Fifth Brother, you and I cooperated too well just now, didn't you?"

Brother Jiu never thought that his own brother would have such a clever side, he knew how to cooperate with him without winking. Brother Jiu said, "It seems that we need to cooperate more in the future."

Fifth Master hadn't reacted to what Brother Jiu said before, but was startled by his last sentence: "Come again? Forget it, once I cooperate with you, my life will be shortened by a few years."

"Fifth brother, look at what you said..." Brother Jiu was unhappy, "Didn't we cooperate well just now?"

"When did I cooperate with you?" Fifth Master looked at Brother Jiu in surprise, and the latter said, "Then why are you dragging me away all of a sudden?"

"That's because I really want to leave!" Fifth Master said angrily.

Brother Nine: "..."

He said when did his fifth brother become so clever, it turned out to be a mistake, but...

"Isn't it more proof that there is a natural tacit understanding between our brothers?" Brother Jiu said, "Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to fool the boss all at once."

Fifth Master: "..."

I almost believed his evil!

Wu Ye, who still wants to live a peaceful life, said that after working with Brother Jiu this time, there will be absolutely no next time.

Brother Jiu, who was disliked by his own brother, felt wronged, and complained to Rou Jia when he returned home: "Fifth brother is just too timid, and he doesn't think about fooling the boss like this, how could he be willing to pay back the money?"

"Then you are too courageous, okay?" After hearing how Brother Jiu said how they (in fact, only Brother Jiu) fooled the Zhijun King, Roujia wanted to hit someone, "In this case, you can do whatever you want." Did you say that?"

Even a political novice like Rou Jia knows that once these words are spread, regardless of whether Brother Jiu really thinks so, he will die.

Don't say that the one sitting on the top is Brother Jiu's own father, it's true that his father is a relative, but he is also the emperor first and then his own father, and what Kangxi dislikes the most is that the prince or courtiers form a party for personal gain.

Thinking of this, Rou Jia didn't want to hit someone, but hit someone directly. She is usually so shrewd, why is she so stupid today?

"Why are you more than fifth brother?" Brother Jiu hastily blocked it a few times, and then said, "My master has done things so beautifully, it's fine if you don't have a word of praise, one despises you, and the other dares to beat you. "

"If I hit you, I'll hit you. Do you still have to pick a day?" After throwing out such a classic line, Rou Jia slapped Brother Jiu twice before stopping, thinking she still wanted to praise her?He is already floating now, if he praises him again, he might want to go to heaven.

Hongjing, who was sitting in Roujia's arms, saw this scene, giggled immediately, and imitated Roujia waving his small palm to slap Brother Nine.

"Look at you, look at you, have you taught the child badly?" Brother Jiu, who was stunned by Roujia's words, didn't have time to react, and was slapped twice by his son, and immediately shouted, "What's the point? , do you still know what Fu Gang is?"

Doesn't he want to lose face when he is dignified?

Rou Jia clenched her fists and smiled (threatly) at Brother Nine and said, "So what if you don't know?"

"Cough." Brother Nine coughed softly, "If you don't know, you know. It's not an important thing."

face or something...

The dignified Nine Baylor is gone.

Do you know now that you have confessed?

Rou Jia looked at Brother Jiu amusedly, then lowered her head and said to Hong Jing: "You can't hit people casually, you know?"

Hongjing, who didn't understand what Roujia was talking about, blinked his big eyes and looked at her. Brother Jiu thought that it was really not convincing for her to teach Hongjing this truth. Besides...

"Hongjing is still young, how can he understand?"

Can't understand?

That's easy, Rou Jia grabbed Hongjing's hand and hit Brother Jiu twice, the little guy thought that Rou Jia was playing with him, so he laughed out loud, but Rou Jia grabbed his hand and hit Brother Jiu twice After that, his little hand was slapped twice by Rou Jia.

Hongjing: "...???"

Eh?

Is there something wrong?

Hongjing looked at his little hand being beaten, then looked at Roujia, and then grabbed Roujia's hand with both hands and was about to hit Brother Jiu, as if to say, Er Niang, you made a mistake, it should be a slap Amma is right.

"No." After being caught by Hongjing and "hitting" brother Jiu twice, Rou Jia hit her own hand which was caught by Hongjing twice with the other hand, and said to him, "This is wrong." of."

According to the size of the little guy's brain, he probably couldn't figure out what was going on, but he still knew it was a bad thing to be beaten, so he looked at Roujia, stretched out his hand and pretended to hit Brother Jiu twice, and then saw Rou Jia shook her head at him, and then pretended to hit his beating hands twice.

"Hee hee." Hong Jing thought that Rou Jia was going to really hit him, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took his little hand back in a panic, and hugged it with the other hand in a cute way. Hide it in your arms.

Seeing that Roujia made a blank call, Hongjing immediately burst out laughing.

"Little brat." Rou Jia was successfully made cute by Hong Jing, and patted his little butt with a smile. Seeing Zhang Laishu, they came in with meals, and the family of three began to eat.

"What's delicious to eat today?" Brother Jiu suddenly felt novelty when he saw Zhang Laishu and the others brought out two large, one small, and three clay pots from the food box.

"Today we eat claypot rice." When it comes to food, Joo Chia is happy. This claypot rice has a history of more than 2000 years, but it was not called claypot rice in history.

In the earliest palace banquet——Bazhen of the Zhou Dynasty, the first and second treasures are made the same as claypot rice, but they were called Chunao and Chunmu at that time, and they were called Yu in the Tang Dynasty. Yellow Queen Mother rice.

But no matter what it is called, it’s all claypot rice. It’s not that Rou Jia suddenly wanted to eat it today. She already wanted to eat it a few days ago. I specially made a mini version of a small clay pot for Hongjing.

After all, the whole family needs to be neat and tidy. If she and elder brother Jiu have what they have, of course Hongjing must also have it. Anyway, the little guy who is over one year old can already eat some rice and meat.

After Zhang Laishu and the others lifted the lids of the three clay pots one by one, a rich aroma wafted out of the clay pot, not to mention Rou Jia and Brother Jiu, even Hong Jing was very fragrant.

"Time after time~" Hong Jing waved the small rice spoon that Rou Jia stuffed into his hand, looking anxious to eat.

Roujia: "..."

It's a veritable foodie, no doubt.

Rou Jia sighed from the bottom of her heart, and then touched the small clay pot first, probably because she was afraid that Hongjing would burn it, so the small clay pot was wrapped with cloth, and Rou Jia helped Hongjing put the rice in the claypot. After loosening and stirring, I found out that this is an assembled version of claypot rice.

Because there is no delicious crispy rice at the bottom of the pot, but it is just right, because Hongjing still can't eat such a hard crispy rice.

Mix it well for Hongjing, and after making sure that it will not burn your hands, Roujia brought the small clay pot in front of Hongjing. The little guy can't wait to grab the weapon (rice) utensil (spoon) in his hand and is about to work hard (eat) up.

Unlike the assembled claypot rice that Hongjing ate, what Roujia and Jiu Age ate was authentic claypot rice. The rice with distinct grains absorbed the strong flavor sauce, and the outside was wrapped in the sesame oil forced out by the sausage. One bite, it seems that every grain of rice is wrapped with a strong meat aroma.

Take another bite of the red and white sausage, which is fat and thin, and a umami taste is released in the mouth immediately. Moreover, the sausage has a mellow and rich taste, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

There is also the chewy bacon, which tastes fat but not greasy, thin and not clogged. The unique salty and fragrant flavor is simply a god dish for meals. When paired with boiled small rapeseed, the combination of meat and vegetables can give [-] points.

When the rice is almost eaten, the crispy rice is the highlight. The golden rice is fragrant and crispy, and it tastes special.

This pot of claypot rice was not only delicious for Roujia, but also Brother Jiu and Hongjing were satisfied. After Putao and the others put away all the tableware, the family of three sat side by side on the couch.

Rou Jia hugged her bulging stomach, and couldn't help hiccupping, followed by Brother Jiu, Hong Jing, who was sitting between Rou Jia and Brother Jiu, turned to look at his mother, and then turned his head to look at Own Amma, and then...

The little body trembled: "Hi~"
