The shopkeeper of the incense shop was sweating on his forehead, and his body was hunched over even more.

Sibeile Mansion and Jiubele Mansion have always been on good terms, and this shopkeeper followed Cao Shun from the capital to Shengjing.

Who can be called "master" by Cao Shun is still at this age, how can anyone else?

Cao Shun is covered by the Three Banners!

Because of Cao Yin, Kangxi also had a certain love for Cao Shun, saying: "Do your job well and don't let your uncle worry."

This was also the "heir" who had been registered as Cao Yin's household, and he was also the nephew who was raised by himself. He later returned to the house because Cao Yin had a biological son.

Kangxi felt that it was inappropriate to repeat this. How could he have too many sons?

Cao Shun and Cao Yin's biological son only had two seedlings.

Children are difficult to raise.

Even if there are big ones, there are also crooked ones.

After all, Cao Shun is the grandson of Cao's parents. He seems to have no choice in his upbringing and behavior. Even if he has a biological child, they can't afford to raise him together. Why hurt the child's heart?

He remembered again that Cao Yin's character and behavior were not mean.

The fifteenth elder brother's companion was supposed to choose Cao Yin's only son to enter the palace, but Cao Yin asked for favor and chose the candidate from his nephews.

Kangxi sighed inwardly.

This is what the old saying goes, every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

Cao Yin was cautious when he was on duty, but he handled this family matter in a confused manner.

If you are mean, be mean to the end; if you are generous, be generous to the end.

Repeatedly, the family members who take advantage of the situation get further and further, and the children who have been raised feel chilled.

Kangxi lost interest in wandering around, pointed to a few boxes of sandalwood, and ordered Liang Jiugong to pay the bill.

Liang Jiugong settled the bill and found that the total amount was one or two taels of silver. After conversion, it was three taels of silver per box of sandalwood. The price was not cheap.

Kangxi saw this and was a little surprised.

However, things are rare and expensive. As the only incense shop in the palace shopping street, this sandalwood looks quite exquisite, and the price is acceptable.

I just didn't expect that the fourth elder brother didn't seem to care about money, but he knew it in his heart and was not blindly pedantic.

After coming out of the incense shop, Kangxi and his entourage wanted to go back to the palace, but a carriage stopped next to them.

Guards in regular uniforms came forward and separated Kangxi from the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, revealing Princess Rongxian and his wife.

The prince-in-law jumped out of the carriage and helped the princess down.

"Amma..."

Princess Rongxian felt a little happy and stepped forward to support Kangxi.

Although your Majesty has already seen the princess when she comes to court, it is convenient to enter and leave the palace on weekdays.

However, because the emperor had to deal with government affairs, the father and daughter only met once.

Kangxi always loved this daughter. When he saw her being as close to him as an ordinary daughter, he also smiled and said, "Where are you and your wife going? Why are you coming out at this time?"

At that time, the princes and daughters in the palace kept dying, so Princess Rongxian, the eldest daughter, had a different weight in Kangxi's heart.

Although Concubine Rong was confused, Princess Rongxian had a disloyal temperament and was sensible and sensible. Kangxi still loved this daughter.

It was already early afternoon, and it was almost dinner time.

Princess Rongxian smiled and said: "Isn't this Jiu Di's restaurant famous? I heard that the pot is delicious. Nowadays, this restaurant is the most mentioned in the resident account. It has a taste that is not available outside. My daughter wants to try it.

Prince-in-law, let’s go and see..."

At this point, she sniffed and said: "The smell is overwhelming. You can smell it from afar. Why don't my daughter serve as a host and Ama also go and taste it..."

The street is filled with the spicy and meaty smell that lingers in your nose.

Kangxi didn't pay much attention to the desire of the tongue. He only managed a few mouthfuls this morning. Now that he smelled this smell, he was really hungry, so he nodded and said: "Then go and see something."

The shopping street is only this long in total. Restaurants, tea houses and pastry shops are all close to each other. Avoid the shops in the middle. It is not too far away. It only takes about 200 steps to get there.

After others paid their dues, Cao Shun stood at the door of the incense shop to see off the Holy Driver. He looked at the Holy Driver and saw the Holy Driver taking Princess Rongxian and his wife into the restaurant, so he trotted to the Prince's Courtyard.

Brother Ninth is also there, and the couple is also preparing to eat pot for lunch.

It's the third lunar month, so eating spicy food can also whet your appetite.

It's just that brother Jiu doesn't like spicy food very much, so he prepared the mandarin duck pot.

Cao Shun came over and reported that Shengjia had taken Princess Rongxian and his wife to a restaurant for dinner.

The couple looked at each other.

Brother Jiu was a little hesitant.

I really don't want to move, but he is the boss and there is such a small place near the palace, so he wants to pretend not to know and be disrespectful.

And Princess Rongxian is here...

Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "Then let's go over and have a look?"

Shu Shu felt a little worried after hearing this.

When it comes to the dragon body, be careful with anything you enter.

Spicy hot pot…

For people who have never eaten spicy food, their stomachs may not be able to bear it and accidents may occur easily.

When the time comes, it is no longer a poison, but it has become a poison.

The couple changed their clothes for going out and came out. Cao Shun had already led people to prepare the carriage.

The two of them took the car to Buying Street.

When the couple entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper came up to say hello.

Brother Jiu pointed to the upstairs and said, "Just now an old man brought his daughter and son-in-law over. Which private room is he in?"

The shopkeeper replied: "In the font size of 'Yuan'..."

There are a total of eight private rooms on the second floor, the four largest ones are called "Caiyuan Prosperity" and the middle one is called "Taiping Jinxiu".

Among them, the private room numbered "Cai" has been reserved and will not accept outsiders, waiting for instructions from Brother Jiu.

Look at this, Shengjia didn't reveal his identity.

Brother Jiu asked for details and took Shu Shu up to the second floor.

Outside the "Yuan" box, Ma Wu brought several guards to guard the door.

Seeing Brother Jiu and Shu Shu, Ma Wu bowed and said: "Master Jiu, Jiu Fujin..."

Because of Ma Qi, Brother Jiu was relatively familiar with the Fucha brothers, but they knew how to avoid suspicion and had no contact with each other in private.

Brother Jiu said: "I heard... Amma and the second sister are here. I will bring Fujin over to say hello and let me know..."

The walls of the private room are made of solid wooden boards sandwiched with cotton, which has good sound insulation effect.

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu were standing at the door. They couldn't hear anything going on inside, and even thinking about it, they couldn't hear anything going on outside.

Ma Wu responded and knocked on the door softly twice.

Liang Jiugong was waiting inside the door. When he saw this, he opened the door and saw Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.

The father, daughter and husband-in-law were talking in the room, but when they heard the noise, they all stopped talking and looked towards the door.

Liang Jiugong turned around and said, "Master, Master Jiu has brought Jiu Fujin and is waiting at the door."

Kangxi said: "Ask them to come in."

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu heard this and entered the house.

The consort with two foreheads stood up.

The consort's rank is three levels lower than that of the princess, so he is not as good as Prince Baylor, the ninth prince.

Princess Rongxian sat quietly, smiling as she watched her brother and sister-in-law come in, and said, "The pot has just been brought up and I am about to use the chopsticks."

Brother Jiu and Shu Shu greeted Kangxi and met Princess Rongxian and his wife, so they followed Kangxi's instructions and took their seats.

The copper pots used in the palace are not used, but split charcoal basins and mandarin duck pots.

Brother Jiu sat down under Kangxi and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said: "The mandarin duck pot is good, but if it's spicy pot, my grandmother and my second sister won't be used to it, so don't get upset..."

Princess Rongxian said: "The shopkeeper explained it carefully just now. The spicy hot pot is also slightly spicy, so it's okay."

Kangxi said: "There are also chili peppers in the imperial dining room now. What are you talking about?"

Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama, chili peppers are different from chili peppers. The chili peppers purchased in the imperial kitchen are not spicy at all, but the spicy butter pot base prepared by my son's restaurant is fried with spicier small chili peppers."

, Those who have never had this bite will really feel like their stomachs can’t stand it.”

"butter……"
