The princes were sent to Qingxi Bookstore at the second quarter of the morning, and they were almost at the beginning when they came here.
The sky was originally cloudy, but now the clouds have cleared.
The sun is high in the sky.
It is the sultry and moderately hot weather of the year right now.
It rained again yesterday, and now the heat is rising, making it humid and hot.
The air was so hot that the exposed skin was scalding hot.
After digging for two quarters of an hour, everyone's situation was different from before.
Those who are strong cannot work so efficiently.
It's not that I don't have enough strength, it's that I'm sweating profusely and killing my eyes.
Occasionally you need to wipe it.
But summer clothes are either made of silk or gauze and do not absorb sweat.
Everyone took out their handkerchiefs and wiped them, but they couldn't hold on for a while.
Brother Jiu dug the fewest potatoes, but there were seven or eight. He took a handkerchief and wiped it to no avail, so he quietly asked He Yuzhu, who came to pick up the potatoes, to tie the handkerchief around his wrist. In this way, he could wipe the sweat directly.
Much more convenient.
He Yuzhu was smart. When he saw this, he immediately took out his handkerchief and tied it on Brother Jiu's other wrist.
The ninth elder brother avoided it with disgust, and whispered: "You haven't wiped your nose, have you?"
"It's brand new, I just got it on today, otherwise I wouldn't dare to give it to the master..." He Yuzhu said aggrievedly.
Brother Jiu then asked him to tie it and said: "Go back and ask the sewing room to make ten new ones for you."
The fourteenth elder brother was young, and he was digging quickly at the front, but he was a little weak, tired and thirsty, and looked longingly at the Holy Driver.
Kangxi also saw that his sons were tired.
But Jinkouyu said that since he said that he wanted his sons to compete, there must be results.
Sometimes, perseverance is more valuable than ability.
He glanced at Brother Thirteen.
The thirteenth brother is two years older than the fourteenth brother. He looks no different from an adult and behaves very calmly.
The work is neither hurried nor slow, and very methodical.
The tenth brother next to him is a replica of the elder brother. He digs very fast, but every time he sees the damaged potatoes, he frowns. Looking at this, he can't understand why he digs so accurately.
These are broken, but I don’t have the patience to adjust the angle.
The eighth prince's face was tense. He was doing well at first, but when he saw the progress of the brothers in the front row, he became a little confused.
Ninth Brother's side was rare. His back was covered with sweat, his clothes were stuck to his body, and his breathing was a little short, but he never stopped. It was just this strength...
When the shovel goes down, is there a small handful of earth?
Is it digging potatoes or doing embroidery?
Is it laziness?
Kangxi took a few more glances.
As a result, others had three or five shovels to dig one potato plant, but the ninth elder brother used more than ten shovels.
But it didn't look like he was lazy and kept digging.
He looked away in disgust and saw Brother Fourteen's pitiful eyes.
He just pretended not to see it.
But after all, he was kissing Amma, and he was afraid that someone might not be able to bear it and suffer from sunstroke, so he signaled Liang Jiugong to call Brother Jiu over.
Liang Jiugong went over and whispered: "Master Jiu, where is the emperor's biography..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu wanted to throw away the shovel, but after thinking about it, he still held it in his hand and came out of the potato field.
This is the tool.
Not taking tools when working is like not taking books with you when you go to school. Isn’t that just plain laziness?
Bad attitude.
"Khan Ama..."
Brother Jiu said with rapid breathing.
He was tired and thirsty, and was out of breath.
"Shut up!"
Kangxi said.
Brother Jiu immediately closed his mouth and adjusted his breathing, which gradually became calmer.
Kangxi rubbed his temples.
It's okay for others to pay it back. With Jiu Age's body, as long as he persists to the end, he may have to lie down for ten and a half days.
He said: "Look at your speed. The last one didn't run away. Don't bother. Go back to my brother's house and ask someone to bring some herbal tea and cold soup. If there are melons and fruits, bring some too."
, if not, ask someone to go to the dining room to get it..."
Brother Jiu's eyes saw the potato field next to him, and there were also guards. The guards were starting to pick up potatoes. Gao Bin was watching over there, and it looked like he had picked up a lot of potatoes.
He remembered Shu Shu's greedy look when he mentioned potatoes, and said: "Khan Ama, what about lunch? In another hour, it will be lunch time. How about my son bring two baskets of potatoes back and ask the kitchen to try making them?"
When the time comes, you can take everyone to try this dish and see how it tastes as a staple food."
Kangxi glanced at him and thought he was just an excuse he came up with lazily, but did not expose him. He nodded and said: "That's fine!"
Brother Jiu immediately went to Gao Bin, looked at the dug potatoes, picked up two baskets and looked at the slightly larger ones, ordered about ten guards to carry them, and left here.
A group of people left behind this "hurrah", and the prince's brother who was originally digging potatoes also heard the noise and looked over.

Brother Jiu looked a little embarrassed when he saw everyone rolling up their sleeves, rolling up their trousers, and tucking their long shirts into short shirts.
He felt in a good mood and felt light all over. He grinned and said, "Brothers, let's compete. My brother will go back and prepare sour plum soup for everyone. That one will relieve the heat..."
Everyone looked at Brother Ninth with daggers in their eyes.
But after hearing the news, everyone understood why the emperor sent the ninth prince away.
I had sequelae of heat stroke the year before last and I am intolerant to heat.
In addition, everyone knows that he was ill and weak a few days ago.
Even the prince looked away.
The group starting from Lao Ba and going back are the younger brothers.
According to the way the royal father behaves, he will be granted a number of titles.
The younger brothers after the ninth elder brother will not be knighted in three or five years, and it is impossible to say that they will wait until the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother become adults.
The Ninth Prince cannot lift with his hands or carry on his shoulders. He has no Manchu bravery. He is a useless person among the princes. If he is left to be a butler in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he will be using his talents to the best of his ability.
From now on, I just need to ignore it, so that Khan and Ama will not look at me and think that I cannot tolerate my little brother...
Not allowed little brother?!
The prince lowered his head, and the sweat on his forehead gathered into drops of sweat.
He had always thought that there was a difference between legitimate concubines and concubines, and what Khan Amma valued most was himself, his legitimate son.
Except for the eldest brother, he didn't pay attention to anyone else.
He gripped the shovel harder.
He had also read "Book of Han", but why had he confused it before?
Previously I thought that according to old Manchu customs, except for the Tenth Prince, no one else was a threat.
As for the eldest brother, he is not a vain "beloved son" like the ninth elder brother. It is because he is the first prince to be crowned and the real "beloved son", so he is afraid of him.
Others also kept their heads down and continued working.
The weather is sunny, but it's very hot, so it's better to finish early.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother was still walking briskly, the tenth elder brother knew that he was not really tired, so he felt relieved.
Only the fourteenth brother stretched his neck and looked around, taking a look at everyone's progress.
The progress of the first three brothers is almost the same, they are all past one-third and almost halfway.
The eighth prince's in the second row is almost the same as the fourteenth prince's, nearly one third.
Fourth elder brother, I've dug a lot, and it's not much faster than ninth elder brother.
The third row of 10th and 13th elders also follow a similar process.
The fourteenth elder brother pouted his mouth, took a few breaths, and suddenly made a decision. He threw away the shovel and shouted: "Ninth brother, wait for me, I will follow you to change clothes..."
Everyone heard Brother Fourteen's movement and looked over.
Brother Fourteen frowned and said, "I can't hold it in any longer!"
The ninth elder brother heard the noise and stopped, waiting for the fourteenth elder brother to catch up.
Brother Fourteen looked very anxious and trotted up to him, urging: "Brother Ninth, hurry up!"
Seeing him holding his stomach, the ninth elder brother did not dare to delay any longer. He said to the guards carrying the potato baskets: "You don't have to be too fast. I will take the fourteenth elder brother to take a step first."
The guards responded, and the ninth elder brother took the fourteenth elder brother and went straight to the fifth south.
Is it possible to suppress internal anxiety?
If we go back to Wusuo in the north, it is three and a half miles away, so naturally we have to go to Nansuo, which is a mile away from the potato fields.
"Why didn't you say something earlier? Are you embarrassed or not? If you really want to pee in your pants pocket, your Fourteenth Master will be furious..."
Brother Ninth snorted coldly.
Brother Fourteen frowned and said nothing.
After knocking on the door of Nanwu Institute, the convenience was completed. The fourteenth elder brother still followed the ninth elder brother.
Brother Jiu stopped, pointed in the direction of the potato field and said, "Keep digging potatoes, aren't you trying to compete for the top three?"
The eyes of the fourteenth elder brother were a little wandering, but he refused to admit that he "surrendered without a fight" and muttered: "My clothes are dirty, go back to my elder brother's place to change..."
Brother Jiu immediately left him a few steps away and said with disgust: "Stay away."
Brother Fourteen puffed out his cheeks and said, "It's just a little dirty."
Brother Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, stop talking, it's disgusting or not, go away quickly, you are old and you don't care!"
The fourteenth elder brother had a drooped face, stopped talking, and followed behind dejectedly.
Brother Jiu couldn't bear it any longer. He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, let's turn the page over. If I don't mention it, no one else will know."
Brother Fourteen still had a bit of displeasure on his face.
In the past, he liked to scratch his head in front of his brothers, but after comparing them today, he realized that he was the weak one.
Even if I dig out all the remaining potatoes, I won’t be ranked in the top three, or even in the top five.
If his predictions are correct, he should be better than Ninth Brother and that one.
He glanced at Brother Ninth and said: "Brother Ninth, Khan Ama directly asked you to give up the game, why did you just agree?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and said: "Are you a big fool? You can't tell the good guys from the bad guys. I just make up the numbers. Even if you get to the end, you will still be at the bottom. Khan Ama is siding with me and asking me to go back."
Home……"
Having said this, he glanced at Shi Shi and said: "If you are not anxious, I guess Khan Ama will send you to my brother's place to urge me after a while..."
Brother Fourteen was stunned.
Thinking about it, when he was about to chase someone, he glanced at the emperor's father. The emperor's father was indeed looking at him thoughtfully.
The fourteenth elder brother was troubled.
Brother Jiu said: "You will change your clothes in a while. If you want to go there, go there. If you don't want to go there, just ask the eunuch to come over and tell him that it's rare to see me here."
Brother Fourteen raised his head and said, "What's so rare?"
"Potato mat, we've prepared lunch for everyone, so it's an eye-opener for everyone!"
Brother Ninth said proudly.
The fourteenth brother is moved, but the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. It is not good to be too greedy for food and drink, like a child.
When he arrived at his elder brother's place, he also made a decision and said, "Brother Ninth, are the sour plum soup and herbal tea ready? Then I can change my clothes and take them over."
I took a breather in the middle and went back to continue digging.
When the time comes, my poor grades are also due to my junior grade and "accidents".
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Then you can change your clothes and come here. I won't bother you anymore. I'll keep an eye on people and prepare lunch for everyone..."
The fourteenth elder brother agreed and went back to Beisi.
The ninth elder brother entered the elder brother's house and went directly back to the main room, also changing clothes first.
When he came out of the clean room, he came to his senses and couldn't help but burst out laughing...
