My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 35
Seeing Brother Ten's reaction, Brother Nine felt heavy in his heart.

Is this wronged?

After the mother-in-law on the stove made a fuss in the morning, elder brother Jiu has seen what a Diao Nu is.

Just because he was sleepy and got up late and didn't want to work more, he ignored his master's orders, and instead bullied him, pushing back hard.

If I hadn't been there and caught up with this matter, how embarrassing would my wife be?

The reason why I have never encountered an old slave bullying the master is because the birth mother had the palace power in the early years, and now she also has the favor.

Elder Brother Ten here, the imperial concubine has been dead for four years...

Elder Brother Ten was only twelve years old at the time, and he lived in the third house by himself.

Brother Jiu didn't think of this at the time. Although he often went to the three schools, he didn't pay attention to the servants there.

Ninth elder brother cares about face, so naturally he wouldn't hurt his younger brother's face by asking out loudly in the Shang study.

It wasn’t until he left the Shang’s study that Brother Nine told He Yuzhu: “In the past two days, you’ve been looking for more ways to go to the third office to find out if there are any slaves who are disobedient... Or the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ division of princes has never been less There may be a shortage of Shi Ye's..."

He Yuzhu hesitated and said: "Master, you can't...Even if the imperial concubine is gone, and we are still looking after you, how can you still make Master Shi feel wronged?"

The tenth elder brother's biological mother, Concubine Wen Xi, lived in the Yongshou Palace in the Sixth West Palace, which is just south of the Yikun Palace.

The two gave birth in the same year, and after the two little elder brothers were brought back from Zhaoxiang's house, they often played hard together.

The brotherhood between Brother Nine and Brother Ten was also raised at that time.

Concubine Wen Xi is open-minded, and Concubine Yi is also transparent and hearty. The two of them had a bad temper, and because the younger elder brother was raised together, they communicated more frequently. After more than ten years, they have a certain affection.

Concubine Wen Xi passed away in the past few years, although Concubine Yi later handed over the imperial power, she still sent people to the three schools every few days.

If there is something good, even if there is no second school, the third school will deliver it.

It's just for Elder Brother's servants to see, even if the imperial concubine is gone, she will still protect Elder Brother Ten.

Before Kangxi planned to choose a daughter-in-law from Niu Gulu's family, besides wanting to be kind to Niu Gulu's family, maybe it was because of Gu Nian's affection for Concubine Wen Xi and Concubine Yi.

Brother Nine frowned and said: "Didn't your mother hand over the palace power, Suo'etu is now serving as the minister of the guard... Niu Gulu's family and Hesheli's family have not been very good at dealing with each other these years, so it is inevitable that there will be slaves who are not open-eyed. Stepping on the tenth brother to please the other side..."

He Yuzhu didn't feel at ease when he heard this, and said angrily: "Just now when the slave asked Zhang Shun to chat about gossip, he should have asked for a few words..."

Zhang Shun is the tenth elder brother's eunuch's attendant, and He Yuzhu and He Yuzhu were both eunuchs who entered the palace at the same time, and they get close to each other.

"Don't worry, you don't need to show your whereabouts, the old ten will feel embarrassed and shameless..."

Brother Nine confessed, and his expression was also ugly: "If someone really dares to bully Old Ten, even if the Hesheli family is standing behind him, I will sue Khan Ama..."

Brother Nine was confused when he was concerned, and made up his mind and made himself very angry.

When he returned to the second school, he still had a dark face and was depressed all over. He took He Yuzhu directly to the study in the main courtyard, sat down on the south kang, and followed his luck.

Shu Shu was confused. Seeing that He Yuzhu put away the stack of books in his arms, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Who offended you?"

He Yuzhu also lowered his voice: "Master Shi's food is not good, master is worried that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will bully Master Shi... Master told Master Shi, and the second school will start delivering food tomorrow... Master Shi's division, Here's the dining room together..."

"You slave, what are you mumbling about?"

Brother Jiu was suppressing his anger, and it was not easy to rush to Shu Shusa, so he scolded He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu immediately apologized: "It's the slave who talks too much, and mentioned to Master Fujin about the meal delivery in the Shang Study..."

"Does Master Shi have any taboos in his daily diet?"

Shu Shu also sat by the kang, and asked softly.

Yesterday I saw that the tenth elder brother was tall and slender, he only looked a little better than the ninth elder brother, not like he was not picky eaters.

Brother Nine said before that he would take Brother Ten to have dinner, and he was arrogant when he said it, but in front of Shu Shu, he felt guilty for no reason. After all, Shu Shu would have to worry about ordering the menu and arranging food deliveries in the future.

He calmed down a little, thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems that I don't eat cabbage... I don't eat fried cabbage or stewed cabbage, because the vegetables have a strong smell, it would be better if they are made into stuffing... Radish is also... Do not eat stewed meat, but braised or roasted meat..."

Shu Shu nodded and wrote down, this is a bit picky eater, but it's not serious.

Children have a sensitive sense of smell, and the cabbage and radish in the cauldron do have a strong smell.

The same is true for pork. If the skin is not properly treated, it will be stewed continuously without heavy seasoning, and the fishy smell of meat will not be suppressed at all.

"When I get married ten years later, the three prince's dining rooms will be completed by then. Unlike now, we cook meals for the palace servants, and cook soup and steamed pastries for the master's food...here After all, it won't bother us for long..."

Brother Jiu saw that Shu Shu was serious and didn't show any displeasure, so he couldn't help being moved, reached out his hand, took her little hand, and said softly: "Lao Shi has no mother and concubine, nor does he have any siblings." , Master doesn't want to protect him, who will protect him?"

Shu Shu's eyes narrowed. Brother Jiu is sometimes unpleasant, but he is indeed a soft-hearted person.

This is pretty good, if you really have a wolf-hearted temperament, then you would rather "respect each other as guests".

"Let's not talk about my father taking care of me for half a year, what's the difference between three and five years? Those are my brothers... I'm also an older sister, and there are my brothers and cousins. Although it's my first time as a sister-in-law, I guess they're all about the same... But if If there are any deficiencies, please remember to mention me..."

Shu Shu said with a smile.

Brother Jiu listened, and seeing his wife smiling like a flower, suddenly remembered "Great Qing Law", and asked, "Which volume of "Great Qing Law" did you read?"

Shu Shu blinked: "There are only thirty volumes in total, so I have read all of them..."

"The engraved copy of the third year of Shunzhi?"

Brother Jiu raised his chin at the "Great Qing Law" on the desk: "It's the same as this?! Then don't talk about it in the future, so you don't show your timidity and make people laugh! This law is incomplete. Over the past fifty years , added and deleted several times..."

Shu Shu didn't respond, but thought for a while and said, "I also changed two of the revised editions later, and compared them...the additions and deletions were either from "Eight Banners Shuju" or related to "Eight Banners" The inconsistencies in Shu Li... read both law books, and then refer to "Ming Law", it is almost the same..."

Brother Nine sneered: "You even read "Ming Lu"? Did you ask to read it? Or did you ask your father-in-law to read it?"

There is nothing to hide, and Shu Shu is also willing to instill some of her own views on Brother Jiu: "I want to read it myself... The first edition of "The Law of the Qing Dynasty" is very old, and the world is not easy to change the whole set. It's better for Ama to go. I found a Shibo who was on duty in the Ministry of Punishment, and I bought the whole set... and "Ming Law", which is even rarer on the market, so I bought a complete set from an antique shop at a higher price... These two sets of books It's not easy to find a replacement, so I brought it in..."

Brother Jiu heard that the words were wrong, and said angrily: "Since you have it, why didn't you stop me when the master said to borrow books in the morning?"

"I'm not thinking that "The Law of the Qing Dynasty" has been revised and printed several times later. If I can find the most recent version, it must be the most complete. I think this version is the best..."

Shu Shu said without guilt, but it was actually the latest version of her own curiosity.

Not to mention anything else, only in the additions and deletions of each edition of the "Great Qing Law", you can see the adjustment of the emperor's attitude towards the Manchu and Han subjects.

From the suppression at the beginning of entering the customs, to the comfort and win-win right now.

Brother Jiu said nothing more.

He can't deceive himself, his wife is not arrogant, she is really knowledgeable.

This feeling is slightly sour.

How can a man be overwhelmed by a woman?
Is Fu Gang still struggling?
He cleared his cough and said, "Last night, I learned French, and today I will read Italian..."

Shu Shu has no objection, it's broad daylight, what are you doing if you don't study?
You can't just eat and sleep.

The young husband and wife met head to head, one took up the airs of a teacher, taught each sentence, and the other listened carefully, but they were very good at following along.

Shu Shu's intelligence in studies is not concealed, Brother Jiu doesn't feel defeated, but has high fighting spirit.

Maybe Dong E's is just talented in foreign language? !
Going to the study room tomorrow, I will also pick up Mongolian and Sanskrit...

The two studied kung fu for a quarter of an hour, and the dinner was served in the Xici room next to the study.

Compared with a table of dishes and bowls on weekdays, today's dining table looks very refreshing.

In front of Shu Shu is a bowl over the water, a six-pack plate with various vegetables, bean sprouts, celery shreds, radish shreds, cabbage shreds, fungus shreds, day lily.

In front of Brother Jiu was a plate of soft pancakes, a set of four with two meat and two vegetables, in addition to shredded chicken and pork that Shu Shu had ordered, there were also stir-fried bean sprouts and scrambled eggs.

Brother Jiu looked at it and couldn't help frowning: "Someone is making trouble in the dining room again? Why is it so simple?"

Shu Shu said with a smile: "On weekdays, when the stewed chicken and duck are served, I don't stretch out my chopsticks, so I ordered to make it according to the menu...It's hot, so it's better to eat something refreshing..."

Although Brother Jiu didn't pay much attention to eating, his eyes fell on the noodles in front of Shu Shu, and his tone was a bit sour: "Then why do you prepare two kinds of food? You still eat alone?"

Seeing his little expression, Shu Shu just felt familiar, this is not the same as Xiao Liu, it seems that this master is also a "smelling pot"!

She didn't respond, and signaled Xiaotang to come over with spare bowls and chopsticks, and she picked out two chopsticks for Brother Jiu: "Master usually pays attention to health care, and his stomach is weak, so I'm afraid he can't stand the cold, just taste a few... ..."

With a soft voice, this tone is really no different from coaxing Xiaoliu.

Brother Jiu was very helpful, took the bowl and chopsticks over, chewed slowly, and ate less than half of the bowl of noodles.

Shu Shu rolled her eyes behind Jiu's back, is this her husband?
Or brother?son?
Feel like an old mother in advance!

Brother Jiu obviously raised his appetite. After eating, he crossed the water and rolled two more steamed pancakes before putting down his chopsticks.

Shu Shu didn't waste it, except for half a bowl of noodles and the remaining steamed cakes, she also ate the rest of the dishes.

We had a few meals together, Brother Jiu didn't make any fuss this time.

It was only when the dining table was lifted and there was no one else in the room that elder brother Jiu came to Shu Shu's ear and whispered: "In the future, don't say it's for the sake of the master, but it's because of Khan Ama's simplicity." , that’s why people lacked regular dishes…”
