My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 954 That's My Brother
The host and guest are seated.

When seeing Si Fujin's figure clearly, Ba Fujin's eyes were a little dim.

In the winter of the previous year, she found out that she was pregnant at the funeral of Da Fujin. She should have been pregnant at the end of September or early October. If there were no accidents, the due date would be in June last year. It's one year old.

She is so stupid, why was she so competitive at that time?
She lost Ama, Ernie, and Guo Luomafa, and after giving birth to flesh and blood, she had a family.

Seeing this, Si Fujin sighed inwardly, but he didn't want to mention this, so he just changed the subject and said, "Send someone over to ask Third Sister-in-law to see when to go to the garden to say hello."

Bafujin nodded and said, "I listened to Sisao..."

Speaking of which, she hesitated for a moment, held the teacup, groped, lowered her eyes and said, "I want to ask Sisao about something..."

Si Fujin pushed the ox tongue cake and jujube cake in front of her, and said, "What's the matter? After a whole morning, I ate a few bites of pastry."

Ba Fujin nodded, not in a hurry to speak, but picked up a piece of jujube cake and ate two mouthfuls.

In the past, she liked sweet things the most, especially jujube paste cakes, and she couldn't leave her mouth all day long. When did her taste change?

The same jujube paste, now I feel that the jujube paste is too sweet.

She put down the pastry, nodded with her handkerchief, looked at Sifu Jin and said, "I want to inquire about Tangquan Zhuangzi, and I heard that Prince Zhuang has set up another courtyard there... They all say that soaking in hot springs is good for your health ..."

Sifujin heard this, and knew that Bafujin wanted to recuperate his body.

This is also reasonable.

Which Fujin doesn't want a son-in-law?
For the prince elder brother, whoever gives birth is a son; but for them, if they want to live comfortably, they still have their own children.
Don't talk about others, just talk about Prince Yu Fujin.

When she married in the past, she blossomed first and then bore fruit, and gave birth to a pair of legitimate children. What happened?

All died young.

Now there are two sons and one daughter in the mansion, except for the little Gege who just landed this year and was born by Shu Fujin, the other two elder brothers are all adults, and the biological mothers of the two elder brothers are also "children are more expensive than mothers", please seal the side Fujin.

Now that Prince Yu is still there, the concubine and concubine are different.

When Prince Yu is gone, no matter if there is a difference between the concubine and the concubine, it is either his own or not his own.

Si Fujin said: "At that time, our master followed Zhijun Wang and Fifth Elder Brother's actions, and bought dozens of acres of land three or four miles away from the palace, mainly for the purpose of building another courtyard, and there is not much land In the world, the money given according to the market at that time is not good enough to take advantage of Brother Jiu, there is a difference between senior and younger, and the emperor is watching..."

Ba Fujin had money in his hand, what she wanted to ask was not the price, and said: "I love Jie, and I want to save trouble, so I bought it with my own money, but I don't know if it's appropriate or not, and I don't know who to ask. Asking for your opinion in private..."

After hearing this, Si Fujin's expression remained unchanged, but his heart contained disapproval.

There are no such rules.

After all, it was the area where the clan princes and prince elder brothers gathered together, so it was really going to be the private property of the eight Fujin, it was neither fish nor fowl.

Si Fujin thought about it and said: "Buying land is a small cost, and those who don't get away with it are about a thousand taels of silver, but the follow-up construction is the big cost. Don't say anything else, just enter the yard three or four times like this, There are a few places to be built, and there are rockery gardens and so on. If it is rough and I live in a bad way, if I clean it up, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. What can I do with that money? Buy two more shops Rent collection is also good! If you love cleanliness, you can build a few more yards, as long as no one enters the main yard..."

When Ba Fujin got married and showed off her dowry, she was still in the palace, and Si Fujin also knew that her dowry silver was 1 taels.

There are also seven or eight industries, which sounds like a lot, but at that time, there were good people who counted in private.

Among the seven or eight properties, there are only two pieces of land, and they are all small villages of two to three hundred acres, with little profit.

The rest are shops and houses, half of which are in Nancheng.

The dowry industry in the inner city is also a small shop in a slightly remote location, and the houses are mainly second-entry, so the rent collection is also limited.

The ones in Nancheng will be halved.

In this way, Bafujin has plenty of money on hand, and there is really no need to spend money to repair the garden by himself.

Hearing this number, Ba Fujin was a little confused, and said, "Do you want that much money?"

She had inquired about the land price before, and thought that the cost of building a house was about the same as the land price. In that case, two or three thousand taels would be about the same.

Si Fujin nodded and said: "The labor in the capital is expensive. My family bought 1 acres of land, but I plan to plant fruit trees. In the place where there is a spring in the middle, I will simply build three courtyards and a greenhouse. To say the least, I have to prepare for it." [-] taels of silver..."

This does not count lake stones and seedlings.

Hushi received a gift from Brother Nine, and the seedlings here are directly planned to be saved, and they are all grown to make vegetable gardens and orchards.

Ba Fujin nodded, and said, "I think it's easy."

Seeing her being taught, Si Fujin said: "These are the other courtyards of the clan and the prince. If we want to add private property, it is not easy to add it there. It is easy to make people talk about it. There is no need. Brothers and sisters want to repair the other courtyard by themselves. Why don't you inquire about the land in Haidian, or exchange dozens of acres with Prince An's Mansion, it will be more convenient and not too conspicuous..."

Prince An's Mansion received a lot of land grants from Haidian in the early years, and later built the Prince's Garden one after another.

Bafujin looked at Sifujin with gratitude, and said, "Thank you Sisao for pointing me..."

Si Fujin said: "What are you heretics? Just don't think I'm long-winded..."

Although she is reticent, she entered the palace when she was a teenager, and she has developed some eyesight.

In her opinion, Ba Fujin was a little arrogant when he first married, but there were also good concubines, mother and son who praised him to death.

It was as if there was nothing wrong with Fujin Fujin, so it was difficult for them to persuade Fujin Fujin.

Not quite right anyway.

It's the same as Concubine Rong's promotion of Tian Gege in the early years.

It's just that he is afraid of his daughter-in-law's appearance, and he is afraid that he will be disobedient.

The difference is that Concubine Rong is a concubine who uplifts her son, she doesn't give Sanfujin much face, and she shows her meanness in front of others, and everyone sympathizes with Sanfujin more; here, Concubine Liang, she is showing cowardice and helplessness in front of others. , setting off the unfilial and arrogant Bafujin, which made Bafujin even more criticized.

At this point, if the Eight Fortunes were wrong by five points, those two should at least bear five points...

*
Changchun Garden, back to Fangshu.

Concubine Yi knew that elder brother Jiu's family had arrived at No. [-] North School yesterday, so she couldn't wait.

It's just that she is a member of the palace and still lives in the imperial garden, so she can't go in and out on her own, so she can only tell Peilan: "Take the two boxes of blood swallows that you left before, and go to see Jiufujin and the children for me, tell Jiufujin, I'm fine here, don't be in a hurry to come over to say hello, she will come in again when the eighteenth elder brother "caught Zhou"..."

Shengjia has just moved here, and if there is no major event, he will not return to Beijing easily.

In this way, it's not convenient for Shu Shu to come in to greet her, so it's better to come here when she is "catch the week".

Peilan agreed, went down to fetch the bird's nest, and brought a little maid out of Changchun Garden.

Changchun Garden has four gates in total. In addition to the Dagong Gate in the south, there is also the Daxi Gate in the west, and the Dadong Gate and Xiaodong Gate in the east.

The North Sixth Institute is just north of Xiaodongmen.

However, because the small east gate is close to Qingxi Bookstore, and the courtiers and guards go there, so the main entrance and exit of the palace people is the big west gate and the big east gate.

If you want to go in and out of the Great West Gate, you have to go around in a big circle from the Royal Racecourse, and then go around the North Garden to get to the Sixth North School, so Pei Lan chose to go through the Great East Gate.

As soon as she arrived near the Great East Gate, she saw the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother coming hand in hand.

The two of them just came from the West Garden and went to see Wuyi Zhai again.

Seeing the palace man behind Peilan carrying the basket, the third prince's heart skipped a beat.

Is this Yifei who wants to send someone to deliver food and drink to the imperial court?
This time there are quite a few concubines who follow, Concubine Hui is in charge of general affairs, so Concubine Yi is free to compete with the young concubines for favor?

Really put down the airs.

The fifth elder brother asked directly: "Is this going out of the garden?"

Peilan saluted and said: "As master ordered, this servant went to the North Sixth Office to visit Jiufujin."

The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Then wait for me, I will also go to see the ninth elder brother..."

As he said that, the fifth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and said, "Third elder brother, go and do your work. I'll go to Lao Jiu's for a meal and then I'll be back."

Brother San smiled and said: "I've been busy all morning too, my stomach is empty, let's go there together, go there together."

The Fifth Elder Brother looked at him curiously, and said, "Third Brother, didn't your house also move here?"

Brother San said: "The dining room in our house is just a fool, it's better than the dining room at Lao Jiu's side."

The fifth elder brother felt that this was not very pleasant, as if he used Lao Jiu and his family as a kitchen.

It's just that my elder brother went to have a meal, and there was no reason for him to stop him, so he told Pei Lan, "Then you take a few steps quickly, go there first, and tell Brother Jiu and Fujin, just say that Brother Jiu and Brother Then pass."

Pei Lan responded, and hurried away with the little palace servants.

The third elder brother glanced at the fifth elder brother, and said: "I'm not an outsider, I have told you in advance, and there is no need to prepare the noodles, just eat whatever you have..."

The fifth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and didn't speak for a while.

The third elder brother was a little hairy, and said: "What's the matter? Because I took over as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lao Jiu is really annoyed?"

The fifth elder brother said: "Anyway, it's good if you know it yourself. I will ask Lao Jiu to return the silver of the eighth elder brother. If you go to the old nine and feel unhappy and get angry with him, I will also ask him to return the silver to you." !"

The third elder brother heard this, and couldn't help but anxiously said: "What is this called? They are all brothers, what should I do to make Lao Jiu so angry? I am not the same as Lao Ba. If my slave offends Lao Jiu, I have nothing to say. Just hit forty boards and hand it over to Lao Jiu! That's my own brother, I still can't tell the difference between distant and close relatives?"

Seeing his sincerity, fifth elder brother nodded and said: "That's good, anyway, he lost his job and appointed to be unhappy, you can accept it even if you are proud..."

When the third prince heard this, he didn't dare to take any risks.

Even if he didn't say anything, Lao Jiu's narrow-minded eyes would be blocked when he saw him.

At that time, if you find a fault, you have to pay back your money and withhold the dividends. Will you suffer a lot?
He was late, and said: "I remembered one thing, Jiugege's dowry list has not been finalized yet, I have to go see Khan Ama, you should go by yourself..."

The fifth elder brother glanced at him and said, "Then will I wait for you for lunch?"

The third elder brother shook his head like a rattle, and said: "Don't wait, don't wait, I'm busy, I have to go back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs after seeing your Majesty..."

Fifth elder brother nodded, without saying anything else, he went straight out of Dadongmen.

As soon as he went out, he confronted the eighth elder brother.

The eighth elder brother's face was red and white, probably because he heard what the third elder brother said before.

"Fifth Brother..." Eighth Brother bowed in salute.

The fifth elder brother didn't give a wink, and walked past the eighth elder brother without squinting...
