In the afternoon, the Holy Master had to return to Changchun Garden. Without further delay, he asked people to divide the rewards among the top three and sent his sons away.
The third place, the Tenth Prince, received ten pairs of internally made purses.
Naturally, these purses are not empty. Each purse contains money with auspicious words engraved on it. There are four coins in one purse, and each coin has one or two weights. This is four taels of gold.
Ten pairs of purses equal eighty taels of gold.
Brother Jiu looked at the purse and said, "It's no worse than a royal bow or a horse. It's just right to keep it to reward people during the New Year."
This is not a reward for filing, it does not need to be donated, it can be used by yourself.
Brother Ten nodded, only Brother Ninth would think so.
What the other brothers want is not the royal bow and the royal horse.
When the brothers returned to their residence, He Yuzhu and Wang Changshou had already brought lunch boxes and were waiting.
The two brothers ate simply.
It's time for the Holy Spirit to return.
But on the royal chariot, Kangxi looked at the question book in his hand, filled with anger all over his body.
Liang Jiugong was beside him, holding his breath and concentrating.
This question was originally handed over from the guard office. It contains various movements of the princes of various banners. What is wrong with this?
Is it because the eldest brother has too close contact with the general of Xianglan Banner?
Or what happened to Brother Eight following Zhenglan Qi’s people?
There can't be anything wrong with the fifth elder brother's white flag or the tenth elder brother's red flag, right?
Liang Jiugong couldn't think of the reason for a moment.
No matter what the reason is, a designated prince has violated the emperor's taboo.
It was rare that the emperor was in a good mood today and he praised his son again. This was really not a compliment...
In Brother Ninth's carriage, the two brothers were also chatting.
Brother Jiu remembered the scene in front of the emperor just now and said: "By the way, what are you looking at Lao Ba? He recruited you?"
Brother Ten said: "There's something wrong with him. He keeps peeking at Brother Ninth."
Brother Jiu remembered how he felt at that time, nodded and said: "I'm looking at you, I found it, but I didn't catch him. Did he take the wrong medicine?"
The tenth brother said: "It is necessary to be on guard against others. The ninth brother should still be more careful."
Brother Ninth recalled today's situation and suddenly realized, "I know, he has a guilty conscience. He took advantage of the convenience of being in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and took advantage of today's siege!"
As he spoke, he told what was wrong with Zhenglan Banner's surrounding team.
"They probably got the deer distribution map, which saved them a lot of time than others. They probably had to go through two rounds before the flag color came first..."
After hearing this, Brother Ten was relieved and said: "Don't pay attention to him. How could you know that a blessing comes from a blessing in disguise? How can you hide what happened in the paddock from the emperor!"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu gloated: "Khan Ama praised him before. When he knows what happened in the paddock, he will probably be annoyed. Haha, Lao Ba's luck is not very good. The people below are all flattering him and putting him in front."
Already."
It is unlikely that the Eighth Prince will arrange it himself.
This is not a good move, and it cannot be hidden from others.
The tenth elder brother also laughed and said: "Those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are looser than their belts. As soon as this incident came out, everyone knew that the eighth elder brother could not win with force, and if he was allowed to be civil and military, he would be punished.
Questioned."
It’s unclear whether the Eighth Prince’s “contribution” to the Thirteenth Prince’s “praising” and vilification is due to the Eighth Prince. Anyway, the Eighth Prince needs to experience what it’s like to be talked about.
First his character is questioned, and then his ability is questioned. How long can the good popularity that Eighth Prince has worked hard for many years maintain?
Brother Ninth shook his head and said: "Who doesn't speak behind others' backs, and who doesn't speak behind others' backs? Brother Thirteen cares so much that he doesn't even need to pay attention to those people's nonsense..."
He has also been criticized by others, does he care?
That's when they fart.
We can't talk about it for a few days. When new news comes out, or when they get tired of talking over and over again, those people will change the topic...
*
By the time the team arrived in the capital, it was already dusk.
I will close the city gate before I see it.
Kangxi sent a message to the guards, ordering the princes not to follow him to Changchun Garden, and then dispersed.
The holy team did not enter the city, but took a detour and continued north.
The princes went to Beijing, returned to the palace, returned to the palace, and returned to the mansion.
The main room of Jiubele Mansion.
Knowing that Brother Jiu was coming back today, Shu Shu was not in a hurry to have dinner.
Brother Jiu came back after a long journey and said to Shu Shu: "Fortunately, we didn't go far. People in this car are very tired."
Maybe the brothers all ride horses, not only for the sake of effectiveness, but also because riding in a carriage is uncomfortable?
Shu Shu said: "It's uncomfortable to ride a horse now. We are walking against the wind. If it is neither cold nor hot, it would be better to ride a horse."
Brother Ninth simply freshened up.
Shu Shu asked someone to set the dining table.
The couple sitting across from each other is different from eating alone. It seems that the room has become more alive.
Thinking that Brother Jiu had been eating only meat in the paddock these two days, it was refreshing when Shu Shu asked someone to prepare a meal. The side dishes were cabbage assorted rolls and coir raincoat cucumbers, the side dishes were slippery shrimps and eight-treasure tofu, and there was also a white meat pot with pickled cabbage.
.
Brother Jiu was satisfied with his meal and said, "It's better to be at home. I don't like to go out anymore. I can't eat well and sleep well."
When they got down to the dining table, Brother Jiu drank hawthorn tea to relieve his hunger, and then talked about what he had seen in the paddock yesterday and today.
"Hundreds of people hunted tigers, but the tigers didn't seem scary at all, but rather pitiful. I and Khan Amma asked for tiger bones. Khan Amma asked someone to collect a pair of tiger bones and divided them among us. The nine people shared them equally.
, I divided four kilograms, but there is a patella in it, which is from the front leg, and it is best used as medicine..."
"Today, during the Eight Banners' siege, there was one more person, so I became the commander. After watching the siege for two hours, the tenth brother came in third. The fifth brother did not get any reward, nor did he get any punishment..."
"Elundai looks arrogant, but speaks okay and is quite enthusiastic..."
Shu Shu listened with great interest.
Being implicated by the child in her belly, she stayed at home for half a year, listening to what was going on outside and feeling familiar with it.
The eldest brother's results were just average, but I didn't expect the eighth brother's results to be so impressive.
Seeing Shu Shu's admiration, Brother Ninth snorted: "I don't care about exposing his face, but it's just a small test for brothers and he cheated. It's really shabby!"
He thought of Eighth Prince's hesitation in front of the emperor and said: "But in that situation, it's hard for him to say anything. He can't deny his own achievements."
When she heard about Elundai, Shu Shu paid close attention.
This person is also a "Ba Ye Party".
The current structure of the Tong family has changed. The eldest son of the lord is no longer Tong Guowei, but the eldest son of Elundai.
Will anyone from the Tong family take custody of the fourth elder brother?
Shu Shu couldn't guess it either.
Elundai has a teacher-student relationship with the eighth elder brother, and he is obviously closer to the eighth elder brother now.
When it was time to settle down, Brother Jiu said: "I will go to the Qintian Prison tomorrow to see Fengsheng and the others' Five Elements..."
Shu Shu also looked forward to finalizing the names of the children as soon as possible, saying: "I remember to ask clearly, which words are suitable for boys and which are suitable for girls..."
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Brother Jiu went to the Yamen to order some meat.
Shu Shu's here is what Brother Zhengjiu brought back last night.
Two live deer, a fox skin, and two little rabbits.
The deer was given by the fifth elder brother, the fox skin was given by the tenth elder brother, and the bunny was given by the thirteenth elder brother.
The Thirteenth Brother had little prey and plenty of time, so he caught a few little rabbits alive and gave two to the Fourth Brother, while the remaining two were given to the Ninth Brother.
Now there are cabbage leaves in the rabbit cage, and the two little rabbits are enjoying the food.
One gray rabbit and one yellow rabbit, only the size of a palm.
Shu Shu then told Bai Guo: "Go to the warehouse to find cages and divide them into cages."
It's just right to send one to Ning'an Hall and one to the back building.
Now that Shu Shu is eight months old, Mrs. Bo does not allow her to go to Ning'an Hall anymore because she is afraid of being stretched due to slippery roads.
Instead, Mrs. Bo brought Ni Guzhu over every day after lunch to visit Shu Shu and give Ni Guzhu a break.
After a while, Gingguo came in with a cage and separated the two rabbits into separate cages.
Shu Shu thought that she would need fresh venison today, so she told Bai Guo: "When you send the rabbit to Ning'an Hall, tell A Mou to ask them to come over before lunch and eat here. There is deer blood tofu."
Bai Guo agreed, looked at the two rabbits and said, "Fu Jin, which one is for Da Ge Ge?"
Shu Shu glanced at the rabbit. The yellow rabbit was bigger and said, "The big one."
Niguzhu has a loud voice and likes to use his hands and feet. I hope that the stress reaction of these older rabbits will not be as severe.
Ging Guo responded, picked up the rabbit cage and went to Ning'an Hall.
Ni Guzhu felt sick as a child. When she got up, the nanny was wiping her face.
Seeing the rabbit in Ging Guo's hand, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Rabbit, rabbit..."
She had a set of Chinese zodiac signs and recognized them immediately.
Mrs. Bo was standing by and said, "You can touch it, but you are not allowed to touch the rabbit's head. Be careful as it bites your hand."
"Uh-huh……"
Ni Guzhu responded and stretched out his fat fingers to touch the little rabbit's butt.
The little rabbit was trembling with fear and hiding on the side of the cage.
Ging Guo conveyed Shu Shu's invitation to Mrs. Bo again.
Mrs. Bo nodded and said, "Then let's go there before noon. It happens to be warm outside."
Ging Guo noted it down and went back to resume his life.
Ni Guzhu's attention has been completely attracted by the little rabbit, and he has already begun to ask Mrs. Bo for help on what to name the little rabbit...
