My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1114 Practice (first update)
When the ninth elder brother returned to the elder brother's office, he found out that it was a coincidence.

Brother here, there is actually a roast goose for dinner.

"Sent from Zhuangzi?"

Brother Jiu said.

Shu Shu said: "In the next ten days, I will have it every day. I asked someone to send four cages of geese over. I want to try the difference between goose down and duck down."

The goose down of later generations sold like crazy.

Brother Nine knows what duck down is.

Last year, I made duck down cushions at home, and they were indeed soft.

"This should not work, this goose feather is big, and the quill in the middle looks hard." Brother Jiu said.

"Try it, stock up later, wait until Jiang Ning's master arrives, cleans the grease, removes the smell, maybe it can be made into a jacket." Shu Shu laughed.

The biggest function of down is to be fluffy and to isolate the air.

A cushion is a waste.

Brother Jiu didn't stop him, and said: "Then I will write a letter to Cao Yin to urge people later."

When the dining table was down, Brother Jiu talked about Gui Dan's return.

"I didn't save face, and just acted as shepherds. From now on, they will be tied to the Daling River."

Brother Jiu sighed.

In fact, it is also to save face.

In the future, if the Sanguanbao finds out anything inappropriate, they will deal with these people directly.

Daobao, Guidan and his son were separated from Guo Luoluo's family.

Shu Shu said: "Sir, don't think about it too much. Even the emperor should be held accountable. If the debt is wiped out after death, then all the old people will go to break the law to earn money."

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I'm just a little bit worried, so I won't mention it in the future, and there's no need to talk about Niangniang and Fifth Brother."

It began to rain sporadically outside, and the couple stood in front of the window, feeling the coolness.

"This year's spring and summer rains are good..."

Thinking of potatoes, Shu Shu articulated.

In the next year or two, you should be able to eat it every day, mashed potatoes and French fries.

Brother Jiu also thought of this, and said, "Gao Bin came to mention it last time, saying that the potatoes will be harvested this month, and the corn will be harvested later..."

Shu Shu was impatient, and couldn't wait any longer, and said, "Go back and ask Fourth Master, give us some potato seeds, and try planting a crop of autumn potatoes."

Brother Jiu glanced at her and said, "Let's talk about the seeds, Master and Gao Bin told us to leave a basket of potatoes for us to try to eat."

Shu Shu listened with anticipation.

That is, there is no need to keep the seeds, and you can have a big meal.

A few days ago, it was not uncommon to make a potato feast for the whole egg feast.

Potato balls, potato pancakes...

Last year's tomato seeds have been planted in the Zhuangzi, and this year's dishes delivered by the Zhuangzi include tomatoes.

The ingredients are all ready, except for the potatoes.

Shu Shu couldn't wait.

Maybe it was because the ground was soft after the rain, and potatoes grew in Gao Bin's place the next day.

There happened to be a test field of potatoes in the northwest of the West Garden, next to the Royal Horse Field.

After the fourth elder brother reported to Yuqian, Kangxi ordered several prince elder brothers who lived in Haidian to come to Yuqian.

Even the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother followed.

In order to avoid laziness, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both dawdled around in Changchun Garden, and they were also caught.

When it was reported to Qingxi Bookstore, all the princes and elder brothers were a little dazed.

This is not a festival.

Everyone looked at each other.

The elder brother is here, and the prince is here.

Between the third elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother, there is a fifth elder brother and a seventh elder brother missing.

Kangxi glanced at everyone, except for the prince who was dressed in fancy clothes, everyone else was wearing homely clothes, so he said, "Let's go, let's dig potatoes together. You are the prince's elder brother, so you have to know farming."

Everyone agreed.

Brother Jiu quickly looked at the sky outside.

It's okay, it looks like it's overcast and cloudy, and it doesn't look so sunny.

Those who are early in the morning, those who go early and return early, should be back at noon.

Although it was not the first time for the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers to line up with the older brothers, they were still excited.

This time it was Congwuyizhai who called them.

Haha, now I'm looking behind, in the future I won't be able to learn to work as an errand.

The fourteenth elder brother approached the ninth elder brother and whispered: "Ninth brother nine, you have the best brains, can you tell me, which department will the thirteenth brother and I go to learn errands in the future?"

Ninth elder brother rolled his eyes at him, and said: "What's the matter? I'm afraid that Thirteenth elder brother will go to the Ministry of War first, and you won't have any land?"

Brother Fourteen gritted his teeth, but did not deny it, and said, "It's just a little bit of worry."

Brother Nine snorted softly: "Don't dream, you still want to manage your own territory, can't you do it? The brothers all take turns to walk, and when they get through ten or eight years, they have learned all the errands, and there is no long time to supervise the department. For a long time, most likely it will be three or two years to change the yamen, or two or three people supervise a cumbersome yamen..."

In the final analysis, it is just one word, decentralization.

Elder Fourteen laughed and said: "That's the best, otherwise it will cause trouble. They are big and have taken up all the good places."

Although this younger brother owes something, he has no bad intentions.

Brother Nine pointed to the front and said, "Ama Khan hasn't punished you yet?"

The fourteenth elder brother listened, his cheeks puffed up, he stared at the fourth elder brother's back, and complained to the ninth elder brother: "Tell others to watch over me, hmph, that person is chattering like a monk chanting scriptures. Holding chicken feathers as arrows, obeying Khan Ama's oral order, I wish I had to block people in the school yard every day when I come back, it's so annoying."

Ninth elder brother thought about fourth elder brother's willingness to reprimand others, and felt uncomfortable for fourteenth elder brother, and said: "It's annoying enough, why not just punish copying books."

Brother Fourteen nodded and said, "That's right. If I really copy books, I'm not afraid. Anyway, it's homework, but I can't bear to read it every day."

The ninth elder brother said: "In the future, I will not mention the big elder brother and the younger elder brother, and those who form gangs. Khan Ama doesn't like to hear it. Besides, the next fifteen elder brothers will gradually grow up. They are the younger brothers. Where is brother?"

The fourteenth elder brother listened thoughtfully.

It seems to be the truth.

Little elder brother is not a good word.

Not only does it mean young, but it also means low status.

No matter how many elder brothers the emperor will have in the future, it will be a separation from him.

The one in the front is not considered a little brother, but the one in the back is really a little brother.

Elder Fourteen puffed out his chest, showing a bit of high spirits.

In the future, the elder brothers will grow old, and the younger elder brothers will not be able to connect. It depends on the wave of elder brothers among them.

Uh-huh, Brother Nine doesn't count, Brother Ten can't count, it depends on him and Thirteen.

Except for the fourteenth elder brother who was whispering to the ninth elder brother, and the prince who was with Kangxi, the others were also in twos and threes.

The eldest elder brother is followed by the eighth elder brother.

"I heard that you are still asking about '[-]'? Is it not enough, how much do you want? I saved a catty and asked someone to send it to you. If it is not enough, you can talk about it. I will ask outside."

The eighth elder brother said: "I guess I need to prepare more. Thank you, big brother. If it is not difficult to find the ordinary Sanqi, it is the new Sanqi of the year, so I am nervous for a while."

The eldest elder brother said: "Okay, then I know, and I will ask someone to ask about it later."

He thought of the scar on Fifth Prince's face.

Although for men, scars on the face are a sign of bravery, but no one wants to be ugly.

The fifth elder brother has been eating and sleeping soundly for the past two years, and he doesn't like to come out to meet people, maybe it's because of the scar on his face.

That scar was still created to protect him.

The elder brother asked the eighth elder brother: "How is the effect? ​​Can it really remove the scar?"

Eighth Brother thought about it, and at the moment, Eighth Fujin was indeed shallower.

He said: "It should be effective, even if it can't return to the original state, it won't be bad if it continues like this."

The elder brother nodded and wrote down the matter.

The fourth elder brother is asking the tenth elder brother about the dowry of the eldest daughter.

"I heard that some people miss these things. There are many poor clans without betrothal gifts. Be careful, and don't let others embezzle them." He instructed carefully.

It is not a big deal for a man to get married a few years later, but for a woman, the flowering period is only a few years, and if it is delayed, she will not be able to find a suitable marriage.

Elder Brother Shi nodded and said: "Brother Ninth is also worried about this. Firstly, the Ministry of Internal Affairs cut off the dowry money and replaced it with a dowry, just for fear that the money would be stolen, but if it is really a shameless person, this thing is also called Don't worry, my younger brother has already mentioned it to Prince Jane and Sunu Beizi, and Prince Jane allocated two Jueluo pens to focus on the matter of these people marrying their daughters."

It's time to wait until the old girl's time. With the dowry, the marriages of each family are accelerated, basically in the second half of the year.

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "That's good, people who go down from the clan's house will also deter them."

Birth, old age, sickness, death, weddings and funerals of the clan are inseparable from the clan mansion, and they dare not offend people in the clan mansion easily.

The third elder brother avoided the tenth elder brother, and pulled the thirteenth elder brother to talk about the northern tour.

When the ambush came out, Shengjia was going to patrol outside the Great Wall, and there were already rumors about it.

The eldest brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother, the eighth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, and the sixteenth elder brother followed.

"Who used to be a retinue when he was so young? The sixteenth elder brother is only six years old this year..." The third elder brother said sourly.

Such a young brother, who is about the same age as his son, is actually not a problem.

But the group in front of them are all in their teens, and they have learned all about civil and martial arts, and they waited eagerly for the opportunity to follow.

The results of it?
When I got to the little elder brother, I started to draw the bow, and I was about to follow the retinue.

The third elder brother felt sore, so he pulled the thirteenth elder brother to complain: "Before, the most favored was the thirteenth brother. From now on, the youngest son of Khan Ama will be replaced."

The thirteenth elder brother didn't have much contact with the third elder brother, but he really didn't have a good impression of this elder brother.

Now hearing him say "the most favored", the hairs on the back of the thirteenth elder brother stood up, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, it's just that the brothers are all grown up and have errands, sometimes they can't get out, brother When I followed the fourteenth elder brother in front of the imperial court, there were two more times..."

The third elder brother touched his chin and said: "We had no errands at that time, and we didn't follow them every time."

The thirteenth elder brother said: "It's not the same. The elder brothers are the eldest elder brothers. They sent errands alone when they were ten years old. Before the younger brother came with the retinue, he had never even been out of the Forbidden City..."

The third elder brother nodded, and said proudly: "That's right, there were not many people who went on business outside Cheng Ding before..."
