My father-in-law is Kangxi

Hearing that the fourth elder brother mentioned Ruyi, the ninth elder brother immediately became elated, and proudly said: "What I want is eye-catching, what my brother gave is a unique treasure in this world!"

This is what the fourth elder brother is worried about.

They all live in the same street. During the last winter month and the twelfth lunar month, there was a lot of traffic outside the Prince's Mansion, and the carriages for New Year's gifts were all lined up at the corner of the street.

It's not that there is no censor who has played around here, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is self-contained and is not within the scope of impeachment by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Now, it is different.

He said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has a censor's yamen, are you afraid that you will not be targeted? Change to an ordinary one, let this one go first, and wait until the next year."

In the next year, it was the emperor's father's [-]th birthday, which was different from now, and there would be no shortage of rare treasures from all the clan's families.

Ninth elder brother glanced at fourth elder brother, stretched out his hand, showed him his fingers, and said, "The next year? Even next year and next month will not be expensive, just look..."

The fourth elder brother looked down and saw that the ninth elder brother had dozens of scars, new and old, on the fingers of his left hand, and the tiger's mouth and index finger of his right hand were red and swollen, with several blisters.

He was silent, and asked with a troubled face: "Have you been deceived? Is it really Chen Xiangzi?"

The agarwood is not heavy, so you have to be careful when handling the agarwood beads, because fingernails can scratch them.

Carving things on agarwood, so much effort?
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother, and said dissatisfiedly: "Look at what you said, it seems that my younger brother is so ignorant, the others are fake, so can the taste be fake? Besides, I have agarwood beads in Fujin, all of which are oily. Yes, it cannot be faked..."

As he spoke, he glanced at his fingers and said, "Your brother has not held a carving knife for many years, and because of his hard work, he suffered..."

The fourth elder brother felt distressed, and said: "Do you keep the carved agarwood crumbs?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I'll keep it. I, Fujin, said that it will be made into agarwood powder, which can be drunk or scented. I'll make it later and share a jar with you."

The fourth elder brother nodded and said nothing more.

Although he is not very optimistic about that "Chen Xiang Ruyi", since it is the filial piety of Brother Jiu, the emperor doesn't care about the knife skills.

After returning to his own mansion, the fourth elder brother went directly to the upper room.

Si Fujin had already changed into loose clothes, and was sitting on the edge of the kang, holding a list in his hand.

Seeing the fourth elder brother coming back, Si Fujin got up and greeted him: "My master came back just in time, look at the list for the Longevity Festival, can there be any additions or subtractions..."

The fourth elder brother nodded, took the list, read it from the beginning, and finally landed on Qingyu Ruyi who was the leader, and said: "Change this Ruyi, change the others..."

After hearing this, Si Fujin nodded in agreement without asking why.

The fourth elder brother explained: "I just went to Lao Jiu's side, and he also prepared Ruyi, it's important..."

It's okay if you don't know, since you know, you can change it.

The corner of Sifujin's mouth curled up, and he said, "Well, then change to a jade incense burner..."

This Longevity Festival is not the time to fight for the wind, there is no need to show off, as long as you don't make mistakes...

*
In Sanbeile Mansion, the third elder brother is also looking at the Longevity Festival.

"Book of Filial Piety"...

can only count as the same...

There are seven more...

Choose a pair of gold cups and a pair of gold boxes for gold utensils...

These two things use less gold, but they can't be too shabby, because the utensils are too small.

Then add a gold-plated copper birthday star, a pair of gold-plated silver jugs...

Here are five.

This looks very decent, and the remaining three things can be combined.

Antique ornaments...

But the price of good antiques is more expensive than gold and silverware...

silverware?

Third elder brother's heart moved, he got up and went to the main room.

In the main room, Sanfujin was listening to Nanny's reply.

After visiting Shu Shu in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, San Fujin was very concerned about one thing.

That is the thickness of the freshly produced milk.

Previously, the selection of pacifiers here in Baylor Mansion was also based on the rules of the House of Internal Affairs, and women who were born in three months were required.

Both the elder brother and the second elder brother are ordinary, and they are not fat, but when they come to the eldest daughter, they look even thinner.

Although Sanfujin didn't like this daughter a little bit, but she wasn't Houernier, she still made people stare at the population of the mansion.

Just in time for the birth at the beginning of the month, Sanfujin asked the nanny to wrap up the big grid, and went to feed it a few times.

Maybe it's because it's too short, so I can't see anything yet.

Sanfujin thinks to look at it again, if it works, the two sons will try it later.

Even if human milk is inconvenient, deer milk and milk should be similar when they are first produced.

The third elder brother sat by the kang, glanced at her, and said, "Master, remember that there are two boxes of Russian silverware in your dowry?"

Sanfujin thought for a while, with a sense of loss, and said, "It's still my Ahma's capture in Yaksa. I heard that it was shipped out from Europa. It's been thousands of miles away, and it's been a long time..."

The third elder brother cleared his throat twice, and said: "Master is about to prepare for the birthday gift, but I can't make it all up, so you can lend me two first."

Sanfujin looked at him, but didn't answer.

The third elder brother couldn't help but said: "It's just that time is tight, and it's too late to ask outsiders to do it now, so why don't you just exchange it with you for money?"

Sanfujin sneered and said, "Then how do you change it?"

The third elder brother thought for a while, and said: "Two to one, let you take advantage..."

Sanfujin sneered and said, "I don't care about taking advantage of this. Master, go to the foreign goods store in Shifujin to exchange, and see if 20 taels of silver can be exchanged for ten taels of Europa silverware..."

The third elder brother frowned and said: "It's useless for you to keep these things, why can't you just collect the longevity gift for the master? Whose longevity gift, isn't Fujin worried about it?"

Sanfujin stretched out his hand, and said, "Give me the key to the big warehouse, I'll draw up the list."

The third elder brother got up and said: "I've been looking for money all day long, just take care of the children, don't worry about things outside..."

Saying that, he's leaving.

Sanfujin touched his nails and called out, "Master..."

The third elder brother stayed behind and turned to look at her.

Sanfujin said with a half-smile, "It's not impossible for Master to use my things, I don't need money, I want bamboo..."

The third elder brother hesitated when he heard the words.

There are two pots of bamboo, one at Tian Gege and the other at Wang Gege.

Although Wang Gege is not as sweet as Tian Gege, he is also proud of him. He even gave birth to the fourth elder brother, but he didn't stop when he died.

After Sanfujin said this, he didn't care.

Brother San frowned and said, "You just gave birth, why are you thinking about this?"

Sanfujin snorted softly and said, "I'm so strong, can't I? Now that the old ninth daughter-in-law has two sons, then I will have another son and compete for the first among sisters-in-law. Is it true that if you don't want a son, you just love the son?"

The third elder brother also knows that the emperor's father has respected his son and suppressed his concubine all these years.

If there are more emperors and grandchildren in his mansion, he will definitely be able to overwhelm his brothers.

"Okay, I got it, turn around and ask someone to bring you the bamboo from Wang's side..."

San Fujin nodded reservedly, and said: "Okay, I'll wait, when the bamboo arrives, I'll ask someone to open the inner warehouse to find things for my grandfather."

When San Elder Brother went out, Mammy was beside her, watching San Fujin hesitate to speak.

Sanfujin took a look at Nanny, and said: "Master slapped my face in front of the servants in the mansion, I will always get my face back..."

Mammy hesitated and said, "But I want to offend Wang Gege again..."

Sanfujin sneered and said: "Didn't you hate me a long time ago? Like the sisters surnamed Tian, ​​they stick together all day long, they go in and out together, they want to hug each other, let's see how we hug this time!"

Tian Gege was the first to accompany the third elder brother. The first woman is different, but what is Wang Gege?
Do you also want to learn from the surname Tian, ​​and fry your wings with yourself? !
This nanny is a mature and loyal person, so she couldn't help persuading her: "Then turn around, other Gege, why don't you also comfort and win me over, and always have a good face..."

San Fujin nodded and said: "I know what's in my mind. When I turn around, the bamboos will grow. I'll send one pot to each yard. A single bastard is precious, and a bunch of bastards, I think how precious it is..."

Among the princes' mansions, there are quite a lot of princesses here, there are six people in total, and two other rooms...

*
The Ninth Prince's Mansion, with a rear building and a little room to the east.

Shu Shu looked at Chen Xiang Ruyi in front of her, and felt obsessive-compulsive.

The curve of the waist is not smooth enough, and the ratio of the wishful head on the front is a bit strange.

It was supposed to be a horizontal ellipse, but it looked like a perfect circle with flaws, and it was still a bit lacking.

The last handle is also too obvious with knife marks.

If there is an authenticator in front of him, it must be "Unqualified Mu Ruyi".

However, seeing Brother Nine looking eagerly, Shu Shu still praised: "It's very simple and elegant, and the length is also suitable. It's pretty good."

The ninth elder brother was arrogant in front of the fourth elder brother, but now he was worried, and said: "Is it a bit rough, I feel a little uncomfortable holding it..."

Shu Shu looked at the position of the handle, wishing that it had [-] edges and corners, which were not arcs at all.

She said: "Others are fine, but it's too brand-new. It looks a little thief in luster. Let's polish it. This master has fulfilled me and asked me to be filial. The emperor gave a few baby names to the little ones. Look at the face of the Lord, but I am also grateful in my heart, this Ruyi will be considered as a filial piety by our husband and wife, okay?"

Brother Nine immediately said: "Of course, don't do it, no matter how tired you are, just tell me to do it!"

But Shu Shu didn't hand Ruyi to him, and said with a smile: "It's cork, it doesn't take much effort, let's not be deceitful, and be more filial and sincere, isn't the master going to ask Fu Song to give the booklet to Changchun Garden? Then Sort out the copied "Diamond Sutra" and send it together..."

Brother Jiu heard this, hesitated, and said: "There are only a dozen copies in total. I copied them a few days ago when I was alone in the front. I prayed that the four of you, mother and child, are all well, especially you, we Husband and wife will live forever."

It's really a little unfilial, and I don't think of the emperor's father very much.

Hearing Brother Jiu's words, Shu Shu couldn't bear it, and said: "Then keep four books, and I will keep one book carefully. We will be buried with them in a hundred years, and the remaining three will be left as family heirlooms... "

Brother Jiu gave her a blank look, and said angrily, "Don't dare to mention anything, and you're not afraid of taboo?"

Shu Shu said with a smile: "There is nothing taboo about what will happen seven or eighty years later."

Brother Jiu didn't speak now.

When he got to the main room's study room, he looked at the "Diamond Sutra" he had copied, picked out the one he copied on the night his wife gave birth, and carefully kept it away.

In the other dozens of books, I thought it didn't matter, but thinking about the family heirlooms, it would be too embarrassing if the children and grandchildren laughed at his handwriting.

He roughly flipped through it and picked out three books with good handwriting.

As for the emperor's father, he knows everything, and there is no pretense, so it doesn't matter whether he is good or bad...
