My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 632 Example (first update)
The third elder brother stared at the ninth elder brother, speechless.

how to learn
Some things can be said in front of Khan Amma, but it is strange to say them in front of his younger brothers.

He snorted lightly, and said: "You're a fool, I don't have the same knowledge as you!"

Seeing this, the ninth elder brother had a sneer on his face and wanted to talk, but the fourth elder brother had already pushed the fruit plate over and said, "Eat!"

When Brother Nine saw this, he became honest and inserted a piece of watermelon to eat.

It is worthy of being a promising person in Zhuangzi under the name of Fujin, sweet!

It's just that this watermelon is not as big as the one given by the queen mother last time, but the skin is thinner and the taste is sweeter.

This year is also a leap in July, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is late, otherwise, if you save it for the Mid-Autumn Festival gift, you can save a lot of throwing fees.

Any recipes for storage?

Brother Jiu thought of the ice storage in the palace and Changchun Garden, which were half empty.

Just right for watermelon.

But Shu Shu reminded him repeatedly that when working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is taboo not to distinguish between public and private, and there is no need to take advantage of that in order to save a few dollars.

Otherwise, if you take advantage of two taels, in the eyes of others, you will have guesses that you took 200 taels or 2000 taels, and you will be regarded as moths.

Then look back at the ice cellar outside the palace?

More than half of this summer has passed, and the ice cellar outside, like the palace, should be quite vacant.

Just adding the throwing fee for renting an ice cellar, the price of watermelons has gone up.

But if you can stay until the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's worth it.

Brother Nine was thinking, while eating melons with "squeaks and squeaks", the juice was overflowing.

The third elder brother was disgusted, but turned to look at the door with urgency.

Fortunately, He Yuzhu came back now, holding a plate in his hand.

On top is a bowl of ice powder, and a plate of fresh fruits such as watermelon, peach, and cantaloupe.

put things down.

The third elder brother snorted softly: "Didling, have you planted watermelons?"

He Yuzhu still retreated respectfully to the door.

The ninth elder brother quit, looked at the third elder brother and said: "Third elder brother, you can't be more successful. The slaves who order others don't talk about giving rewards, but directly find faults. What kind of habit is this?"

The third elder brother brought the ice powder and took a bite, showing a sense of satisfaction.

I don't even know what it is made of, but it looks transparent, with brown sugar osmanthus poured on it, and it tastes sweet and refreshing.

He ate half a bowl in a row before saying: "Good habit, hardworking and thrifty! If you are not in charge, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and a slave has a monthly salary. It's not right to be an errand. What kind of reward is there?"

Brother Jiu pouted.

As for the miserly habit of the third child, I don't care to talk about him.

Whether to reward or not, it is also divided into people.

He Yuzhu is his own eunuch, Haha Zhuzi, and he is just relying on himself as an elder brother to go to the prince and elder brother. How dare he do this?

Being stingy doesn't even look at it, but snobbishness and stinginess, what kind of virtue is this?
Brother San finished eating a bowl and went to get watermelon again.

Next to the fruit plate is a small silver fork with the length of a thumb, which looks very delicate.

I just ate the sweet one, and the watermelon is tasteless.

He said with distaste: "The melon orchard under the House of Internal Affairs is getting more and more outrageous, did they send watermelons soaked in water!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Brother Jiu said impatiently: "You hold your hand high, put it down, don't lose your mouth!"

The third elder brother snorted lightly, eating more happily.

The fourth elder brother didn't want to talk anymore.

It is true that the younger brother does not look like a younger brother, and the older brother does not look like an older brother.

The third elder brother ate most of it before putting down his fork, looking at the porcelain white plain plate, and then at the bowl just now, which was also plain, so he was picky and said, "What's the matter with you, old nine? No one borrowed it from you." Yinzi, why pretend to be poor? Is it too contemptuous to treat guests like this?"

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "You still know that you are a guest? Don't you know that 'the guest follows the host'? You are still picky about the dishes, so it's okay for your family to paint gold and paint with rich eyes?"

This set of white porcelain is also one of Fujin's dowry, a custom-made vessel.

Not to mention the outside, even if it is made inside the palace, it cannot be made without a prescription.

The third elder brother said: "Brothers, I don't want to be picky, so try an outsider?"

Brother Jiu curled his lips, if outsiders dared to talk like this, he would have kicked them out a long time ago.

Now he doesn't intend to spoil the third elder brother, he lifted the teacup next to him, raised his hand to the third elder brother, and said: "You keep the etiquette, do you know what this means?"

The third elder brother has a heavy buttocks, he didn't intend to get up, he looked at the fourth elder brother and said, "Where is the eighth brother, what is the charter for tomorrow, how do you present it?"

The fourth elder brother was questioned.

There are precedents for brothers to marry Fujin, but there is really no precedent for marrying Fujin.

He glanced at the third elder brother, and said very kindly: "It should be reduced from the elder brother's case..."

He didn't mention the example of the third elder brother, fearing that the amount would be too small and it would hurt his face.

The third elder brother frowned and said: "You can't follow it, the eldest brother is different from us, the eighth brother is the adopted son of Concubine Hui, they are closer..."

The fourth elder brother stopped talking.

This is not the case.

Even if you are divided in your heart, there is no need to wait on the gift list.

The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother again, thought for a while without saying a word, looked at the tenth elder brother, and said, "What does the old ten say?"

Elder Brother Ten said: "It's not my brother's turn to talk about it. My brother is young, so I just follow the crowd..."

Seeing that the third elder brother is still entangled, not even looking decent, the fourth elder brother couldn't sit still, got up and said: "It's getting late, third brother, let's go back!"

Brother Nine and Brother Ten got up.

The third elder brother was afraid and didn't dare to sit any longer, got up and said: "Let's go..."

Before taking two steps, he glanced at the porcelain bowl on the small table, and said, "This iced dessert is quite delicious, and it's just right for eating in summer. Look, Lao Jiu..."

Brother Nine said: "Gold is expensive. This small bowl always costs a few silver coins. If you want to eat it, third brother, just send someone to fetch it with silver..."

The third elder brother still wants to talk, but the fourth elder brother has already strode out.

Brother Nine and Brother Ten also came out to see off.

The third elder brother reluctantly followed...

In the main room, Shu Shu is also eating watermelon.

As expected of Daxing's watermelon, it is delicious.

Last year, it was just a trial planting. This year, most of the hundreds of acres of sandy land in the small village are planted with watermelons.

They have their own restaurant and also supply fresh fruit.

As for the rest, it is good to go.

It doesn't cost a few taels of silver to send two cars to a family, but it is in season.

When Brother Jiu came over, Shu Shu had already eaten half a plate of watermelon.

Brother Jiu saw it and said, "It's more delicious than what the Queen Mother gave me a few days ago. Next year, I will ask people to fertilize more and raise a few melon kings..."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Alright."

When the time comes to pay tribute to the imperial court and give it to others later, the value of the watermelon will also increase accordingly.

The ninth elder brother talked about the reason for the fourth elder brother's visit and the farce of the third elder brother.

"Fourth brother is really a kind person. He wished he could do it himself. What he knew was for his younger brother, but he didn't know that he thought it was for his son..."

Brother Jiu muttered.

He felt weird.

Although there is love between brothers, it is nothing to worry about, but I am also worried.

"Before, I was worried that the starling would swallow his anger and depend on the face of the fourth brother; but now I am worried that the kindness of the fourth brother will not be rewarded, and I will be sad when I turn around..."

Brother Jiu sighed: "People's hearts are really biased, and they are easy to change..."

Shu Shu said: "What do you want to do so much, I have my own way of doing things. As long as we follow the rules, others can't make mistakes."

Brother Jiu nodded, paused, and said, "What about tomorrow's congratulatory ceremony, how much shall we give?"

Shu Shu thought for a while, and said: "The eldest sister-in-law is not here, so I must follow the example of the third sister-in-law, let's see how the third sister-in-law keeps accounts..."

Brother Nine frowned and said, "Just like the youngest, I'm afraid I won't show too many gifts!"

Shu Shu glanced at him, and said: "Isn't that just right, it has become an example, and it will save money in the future..."

Otherwise, there are so many princes and elder brothers, most of them will have side Fujin in the future, and this congratulatory ceremony is a huge expense.

On the other side of the clan, the prince also has many side wives.

Even Fujin is like this, so the promotion can be reduced accordingly, and everyone will save money in the future.

Brother Jiu also immediately figured it out, saying: "That's the truth..."

Neither husband nor wife mentioned Mazi.

Right now, there is no apprenticeship ceremony.

Even if it is held, it doesn't have to be so complicated.

If Fucha Gege married into the royal family, it would be the same as other side Fujin.

After lunch, Brother Jiu went to Changchun Garden to check the room.

I'm used to it every day, but I'm still not used to it if I don't.

As soon as he entered the garden, he fell into the eyes of others.

Here in Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi also got news.

He knew that his son was not at a disadvantage, so he thought he would come to sue, but when it was time for dinner, no one came.

On the dining table, there was half a plate of watermelon.

Watermelon is cool in nature, Kangxi attaches great importance to health preservation, and does not eat too much.

Even in summer weather, it is only a tooth every time.

Today it was half a plate.

He looked at the eunuch serving food.

The eunuch bowed and said, "It's from Master Jiu. He said that it was the first batch of watermelons in Fujin's dowry village. He sent one cart to the garden dining room, half to the Empress Dowager's palace, and half to the beggars. Source Bookstore..."

Kangxi raised his eyebrows.

Watermelons in Beijing are available as early as the end of May, and as late as the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Whether it is in advance or postponed, it is a good watermelon, and it tastes better when eaten.

The ones that are cooked in the middle, after the rainy season, I'm afraid they won't be too sweet.

It can only be said that the young couple can't live, and they don't know the farming season.

He thought so, ate a piece, and brought some surprises.

It turned out to be sweet.

Thinking that his Ninth Elder Brother is a man who loves to make money, and he is afraid that he will not be able to get up early, Kangxi looked at the eunuch serving food and said, "Aside from giving watermelons, Ninth Elder Brother didn't ask anyone to say anything else?"

Mention the procurement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or something...

Because of the need to dispel the heat, watermelons are available in the palace in summer.

Up to the masters, as well as the guards and ministers in the middle, down to the eunuchs and maids.

The daily need for watermelon is a huge number.

If the supply produced by Huangzhuang is insufficient, they will also purchase from outside.

The eunuch serving food said: "I never said anything else!"

Kangxi was a little surprised.

This means that you don't want the money at hand, and you really don't look like the old nine.

But thinking about it carefully, Lao Jiu has raised money in the past year, and has never involved the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs with his own property.

Kangxi had a smile on his face.

Finally, there is one advantage, knowing that "public and private are clear"...

Thank you "I hope you will update [-] a day" to become the new leader, and it will take a few days to add updates. ^_^.

Suffered from insomnia for three days in a row. Nine, today I feel a little weak. I can’t sit still. I’m sweating profusely. The update in the afternoon will be later.
