My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 638 Octopus (first update)
When Kangxi heard that Yaqibu was the eighth elder brother's grandmother, his eyes were a little dark.

But he still remembered clearly how lawless the prince's grandpa was, taking advantage of the prince's power to amass money outside.

That servant named Yaqibu even dared to skip the ingredients for the wedding banquet, and he was used to greed.

"How old are you, you don't even know how to take care of the housework!"

Kangxi frowned.

Nine elder brothers bit the bullet and said: "I guess it's because of lack of defense, just like my son last year, he was fooled when he was in the game."

Kangxi looked at Brother Jiu with disdain, and said something fair, "It's not all due to you for what happened last year, Cui Nanshan was negligent!"

That was the eunuch who was familiar with it, and he was supposed to check and balance the nanny.

The chaos before the Second Institute was also because Cui Nanshan let go and let Madam Liu be the master.

"Anyway, you will gain wisdom by eating a pit, and it will not be so easy for others to fool your son..."

Ninth elder brother said triumphantly.

Kangxi shook his head, sighing that people's hearts are not old.

In the early years, the wet nurses and nannies around him all devoted themselves to their errands, how could they dare to raise money?

Now one by one, several of them were found to be inappropriate.

Brother Nine remembered the business, and with seriousness on his face, he said, "Ama Khan, I'm about to go out now, and my son wants to ask you for a three-day leave..."

Kangxi looked at him and said, "Is there something uncomfortable? Don't shy away from medical treatment, ask for a safe pulse!"

Brother Nine shook his head and said: "My son is thinking about taking his son Fujin to Huairou Hongluo Temple while it's getting cooler!"

Kangxi couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Concubines believe in Buddhism, so they can meditate and kill time. He doesn't object, but he doesn't like princes to indulge in Buddhism.

But seeing Brother Jiu looking helplessly, and Hongluo Temple is famous for "seeking children", his heart softened, and he said: "It's good to go out for a walk while it's cool, but how can three days be enough? It takes hundreds of miles to start here from Yuanzi, so there is no need to rush on the way..."

Brother Jiu counted the journey and said: "Then calculate according to the journey of four or five days..."

When Kangxi saw this, he was worried again, and said: "This is different from being in the city. You must not take less guards, and you must bring more guards..."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, my son must have taken care of everyone..."

Kangxi didn't say anything more, but he made a note in his heart, and turned around to tell the minister who was in charge of the guards that if brother Jiu went out, he would arrange for an extra guard.

Brother Nine finished what he had to say and came out of Qingxi Bookstore.

When Yuqian arrived late, it was also time for dinner at my house.

He went straight out of Xiaodongmen.

After taking two steps, I saw the first few people walking slowly.

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, slowed down his pace, and did not rush forward.

Among them was a man whose back was familiar, and he was immediately recognizable as the third elder brother.

The third elder brother behaves in a gentle manner, but his stature is also counted among the brothers.

The one on the left hand side of the third elder brother is wearing a royal blue uniform and an apricot yellow belt around his waist. It is none other than the prince.

Only the prince can wear a belt of this color.

The two of them didn't know what to say.

The third elder brother looked a little excited.

Brother Nine thought for a while, but he still had some fun, so he stopped at the spot, bored, and looked around.

To the east of Changchun Garden are several royal gardens.

Brother Jiu remembered his wife's words, that is, the imperial garden should not be expanded, otherwise, these palaces would have no choice but to "present the garden".

Just like the King's Garden in the Prince's Mansion of Pingjun, because the North Garden was to be built for the Empress Dowager, and the King's Garden was included, there was no other choice but to present the garden.

But I took it as a warning, if I want to go a few miles away to repair the garden, don't think about being close to the imperial garden.

After staying for half a quarter of an hour, the prince in front had already entered the West Garden, only the third elder brother was left, and the ninth elder brother made great strides towards the new fifth office.

The third elder brother was originally standing at the gate of the West Garden, watching the Prince's back.

When he turned around and saw Brother Nine coming over, he said proudly, "It's not easy to come back from the guard house. I haven't had any serious business all day, and I still have to go to order..."

Brother Nine nodded and said: "It's not easy, it's so tiring, I still have to see Khan Ama every now and then, to ask this and report to that, it's better for the third brother to be free..."

Third Elder Brother: "..."

The kid is getting more and more annoying.

The younger brother is indeed a debt collector.

Brother Jiu kept walking, and said: "You are free first, and my brother is still busy, so I went home first..."

The third elder brother snorted softly: "It's already sunset, what are you busy with?"

Brother Nine raised his voice and said: "I'm too busy eating, drinking, and chatting about gossip. Anyway, I don't have time to spare, and I don't entertain guests!"

As he spoke, he brought He Yuzhu and Sun Jin into the fourth institute.

The gates of the four institutes slowly closed.

The third elder brother was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and complained to the people around him: "What kind of talk is this, it seems that who cares about going around as a guest!"

After returning to the second new office, seeing San Fujin's exquisite and dignified appearance, brand-new clothes and fragrant fragrance, the third elder brother said: "Are you going to greet the queen mother?"

San Fujin shook his head and said: "No, I asked Wu Fujin, the Empress Dowager doesn't come to pay her respects every day, it's still like the time in the palace, just go there on every Friday."

Brother San frowned and said, "Then what are you doing wearing these clothes at home? You also sprinkled half a bottle of perfume?"

San Fujin touched the material and said: "It's hot in dog days, this material breathes well, and it's comfortable to wear; there are many mosquitoes in the suburbs, and I like to attract mosquitoes. I don't sprinkle more perfume, I'm about to get bitten."

The third elder brother shook his head and said: "Prodigal, since you are not used to living in the suburbs, you should go back to the city!"

San Fujin sneered and said: "Why, can't the decent Prince Fujin live here? Who do you want to live here?"

The third elder brother snorted softly, remembering the crown prince he had just met, and said: "Don't be a cat in the house all day long, do something serious, and remember to pay the crown prince tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Sanfujin couldn't help frowning and said, "Can I please?"

They are all sisters-in-law, not elders.

The crown prince and the third elder brother are next to each other, and they are about the same age. Even if they are distinguished, it is not a relationship to pay their respects.

The third elder brother said: "Why can't I invite you? The crown prince is a half-lord, and the crown prince is also a half-mother and concubine!"

Sanfujin shook his head and said: "There is no such rule, and others will find out later, they will die of laughter!"

The third elder brother frowned and said: "Aren't you stupid? You won't change your words, just treat it as a gossip, and get closer. Our relationship with Yuqing Palace is different from other people. Your mother raised the prince in the early years. , Khan Ama is also willing to let the prince get close to the prince..."

San Fujin glanced at San Elder Brother, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so sure that you can take advantage of it, not at a disadvantage? Both Suo Ertuke and his son are dead?"

"Bah bah bah!"

The third elder brother hurriedly said: "What did you say? It's unlucky!"

San Fujin said: "It doesn't matter if I went to drink tea with the princess, it's just that I listened to what my master said, so it's better if I don't talk back about mine..."

The third elder brother snorted softly and said: "You can go honestly, what are you talking about, is the master the one who repeats?"

*
four.

Dinner was served.

Five-spice crispy fish, five-spice chicken rolls, eggplant with sesame oil, and cucumber. The staple food is noodles with bean curd.

The noodles are made of silver thread noodles, which are very thin and not hard after being soaked in water.

Otherwise, if you roll the noodles by hand, you don't dare to do this, Brother Jiu's stomach can't stand it.

Brother Jiu's appetite was so great that he ate half a bowl more.

As for Shu Shu, he ate three bowls.

Crispy fish and chicken rolls are also salty and fragrant, meaty but not greasy.

"The fish here is so delicious, and the thorns are crisp..."

Brother Jiu saw it and thought it was good, and said: "My lord just fed the fish, and I saw that the fish in Changchun Garden are fatter than those in Xiyuan Garden, and I should ask someone to fish them when I turn around, and they will all be crispy fish. When Ahma is on a northern tour, he cooks road dishes..."

Shu Shu said: "The fish in this summer still have a strong earthy smell, and they need to be kept in clean water for a few days, and they are more plump in winter..."

Brother Jiu rubbed his chin and said, "As long as it's a river fish, the earthy smell is inevitable, but the surface of Fuhai Sea is the largest, and there is still running water all around, there should be big fish in it..."

Fuhai is the Kunming Lake of later generations.

Currently most of the land in Haidian is under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Fuhai is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

That is the biggest Haizi in Haidian.

The water surface of Fuhai is large, and it is not easy to catch fish in it, but it is easy here in Changchun Garden.

Once the front lake and the back lake are separated, the rest of the net will be fine.

It is more troublesome to meet the lotus, but there are still small boats, just arrange eunuchs to pull the net on the boat.

Brother Nine is an impatient person who can do whatever he thinks of, so he ordered his subordinates to prepare for two days, got all the tools, and started fishing in Changchun Garden.

On this day, when Kangxi came out of Guanlan Pavilion, he realized that something was wrong.

There are several more boats on the back lake.

Kangxi didn't go back directly to Qingxi Bookstore, but stood on the embankment and looked at it for a while, and he understood that it was the eunuch in the garden who was loading and unloading fishing nets from the boat.

He couldn't help grinding his teeth, and told Wei Zhu, "Go to the valet and call Brother Jiu!"

Wei Zhu went in response.

Kangxi made great strides back to Qingxi Bookstore.

Thinking that the fish in the pond would be poisoned, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

When Brother Jiu came over, he scolded: "It's a good fish, what are you doing catching it? If you want to eat fish meat, go outside and fish it!"

Brother Jiu was taken aback when he heard the words, and said: "My son told people to avoid koi, and the fish they caught were all ordinary fish..."

Kangxi glared at him, and said: "There are not many catties in total, so why not let it take care of it?"

Brother Jiu said: "But I haven't caught it in ten years. This cloudy day, the fish will jump out. Even if I don't fish it, it will be more suffocated when it is cloudy..."

Kangxi: "..."

Didn't notice before, so many fish?

But in the corners where the koi are raised, the koi are really fat, and now the longest one seems to be about two feet long.

Kangxi thought of the "throttling" thing that the third elder brother said before, and felt weird, and said: "That doesn't have to be fishing in summer, isn't it easier to wait until winter?"

Brother Jiu said: "It's not that my son's dining room has made crispy fish for the past few days. It tastes good and can be preserved. My son is thinking of fishing fish now to make fish squid, and then make crispy fish later. Khan Ma took it with me during the northern tour, and added an extra dish, so as not to lose my appetite from eating meat all the way..."

Kangxi said: "People from the imperial dining room are following, and there is no shortage of food on the way..."

Brother Nine said: "I still hope that Han Ama's menu can be more the same, even if I don't eat it myself, it's good to reward others..."

Kangxi calmed down a little, and said: "Then don't make a big show, you bump into someone, and the lotus should be more careful, don't get hit..."
