The next day, the grand ceremony was held in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This is a great dynasty, and princes, civil and military officials must enter the dynasty.
Since Brother Ninth lives in Haidian, he gets up in the middle of the third watch.
He was wearing court clothes and looked in the mirror.
I don't like this color. Today the whole room is filled with this royal blue color.
Shu Shu also got up and looked at the two sets of children's clothes hanging on the hangers, one red and one pink.
Today is the first time that Ni Guzhu went out to visit guests. The new clothes that coincide with the change of seasons have been made, so he asked Ging Guo to hang up two pieces.
Brother Jiu saw this and said, "I'm not an outsider either. Isn't that too serious?"
Shu Shu said: "Isn't this the beginning of summer? It's the time to change clothes. I guess the nieces are also wearing new clothes."
Brother Jiu said: "Khan Ama will return to Changchun Garden tomorrow morning, and I will return to Baylor Mansion tonight."
When the holy driver leaves the city, he always rushes early.
As a result, it would be too late for the princes to cross from Haidian.
Shu Shu took out a baggage from the closet and said, "I've packed up my clothes."
Brother Jiu has been a bit clingy these days. Yesterday I tried to persuade him to go back to Beijing and stay for two days, but he refused.
Brother Jiu glanced at her and hummed: "I can see it. You are just hiding away. The children have left you alone, and even I don't care about you anymore!"
Shu Shu touched her waist, glanced at Brother Jiu, and said: "The little day is coming, I want to rest for two days."
Brother Jiu listened, touched her waist and said, "Does your waist hurt? Ask the kitchen to stew a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin..."
Through the thin clothes, you can feel the ice on your waist.
Brother Jiu said: "Why are you still like this? I still have to eat donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng honey slices."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'll have lunch..."
At this point, she asked: "What do you want for lunch? Do you want food delivered from the dining room?"
It's getting warmer now. Even if I go from Haidian to deliver food, it won't be cold.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "No, no, I made an agreement with Lao Shi yesterday and we will go directly to the restaurant at noon."
Don't go outside, just have your own restaurant.
Now that summer is approaching, the menu is changing, and the food is not as good as at home, and it tastes better than other places.
Shu Shu won’t say much.
Breakfast was served, which consisted of sesame pancakes with meat, which was quite filling, but a little dry.
It’s just that it’s not easy to drink water right now.
Shu Shu made some tea, put it in a palm-sized skin bag, and said, "I will drink it after I leave the palace."
Brother Jiu said: "I guess the court will end later today, so I will bring some pork jerky."
Shu Shu said: "It's already packed, a pack of pork breasts and a pack of mints."
When Brother Jiu finished eating and was about to leave, Shu Shu followed him out.
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Hei Tian Xia Huo, what are you doing?"
Shu Shu said: "I haven't gotten up so early for a long time. Let's go out and get some fresh air."
Brother Jiu stopped talking and just asked her to put on her vest: "It's cold in the middle of the night..."
When the couple left the house, they heard the sparse sound of frogs and insects.
Brother Jiu said: "It's too early, you can go back to sleep later."
Dachao also got up early when he was at Baylor Mansion, but never this early.
"Um……"
Shu Shu responded and said: "Today there is a champion parade in the street, do you want to watch the fun?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "If you don't go, what's so interesting about a bunch of old men wearing hairpins?"
Shu Shu thought about it. Those who can pass the Gongshi examination are considered young if they are under forty years old.
Sanding Jia is more knowledgeable and will be older.
As for the Jinshi in their teens, there are not even one in several subjects.
There is a well-known figure in this issue, who was a popular figure in the teahouses in the capital.
Before Shu Shu came to Haidian, she heard someone mention it.
It was either someone else or Qian Mingshi, the "sinner of Mingjiao". He was a well-known talent from the south of the Yangtze River. I don't know if he was Sandingjia.
The couple talked and went to the front yard.
The tenth elder brother has come out and is talking to the fifth elder brother.
The fifth elder brother yawned and said, "It's too early. I'm sleepy. Come and ride in the car with you."
The ninth elder brother's eyes turned around the fifth elder brother, and he swallowed his disgusted words. Forget it, his carriage was spacious and three people could fit in it.
Due to the current dynasty, there are only three princes living in Haidian, and the others all live in the capital.
There is no need to avoid roads and give way along the way.
Because we set off at the right time, when we arrived at Deshengmen, it happened to be 4:00, and the gate had just been pushed open.
The carriage entered the city and went directly to the imperial city without daring to delay.
When we got off the bus at Donghuamen and entered the Taihe Palace Square, the place was already brightly lit.
Almost all the princes and ministers arrived.
The two brothers joined the team.
Brother Fourteen came up and said, "Brother Ninth, are you in good health or are you in poor health? It's not too hard to travel to and from Haidian these days."
The Holy Emperor was in the palace a few days ago, and the ministers did not have to go to Changchun Garden for duty. The ninth elder brother also had to go to the Fanyuan. He had to go to Beijing every day, which was really a hassle.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "What can I do? I have many children. Your sister-in-law can't discipline them. I will keep an eye on them myself."
"Ha ha……"
The fourteenth elder brother couldn't help but laugh out loud and said: "Just make fun of me, I only heard that children can't live without Eni, but I haven't heard that any child can't live without Amma!"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "That's because you are short-sighted. You will understand when you become an Ama."
The fourteenth elder brother was beaming with joy, and he puffed out his chest and said: "You will see it this year. It is the only thing you can do to become an Ama at the age of sixteen!"
The eldest brother has a daughter at the age of seventeen, and the prince has a son at the age of eighteen.
Most of the other brothers became ama in their twenties.
"What's so proud about this? If you are born early and pay off your debts early, you are all creditors..."
The ninth elder brother could not understand the excitement of the fourteenth elder brother.
If given the choice, Brother Jiu would rather remain the youngest son or grandson.
The fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "When I am in my thirties and my eldest son becomes Ding, then father and son will go into battle!"
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth twitched and he said: "When the time comes, I will become Mafa, and we will live together for six generations..."
It's terrible.
Brother Ninth thought of Prince Xinjun’s Mansion and Sunubeizi Mansion, both of whom were descendants of the fourth generation.
Not only do I have to raise sons, but I also have to raise grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
"Haha, let me borrow the good words from Ninth Brother..."
Brother Fourteen is really looking forward to this.
When the time comes, he will be like Khan Amma, with more than 20 sons, becoming the main branch of the clan.
After all, he is a prince, and his son still has a title even if he is a concubine.
Brother Jiu didn't like to see him being proud, so he said: "It's serious to be an errand. What have you been busy with recently?"
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said: "I haven't done anything, I'm still studying at the yamen gate."
Brother Jiu pointed at him and said: "Dishonest, I have heard that you..."
The fourteenth elder brother immediately felt guilty and hurriedly bowed and said: "Ninth brother, please keep your voice down."
Brother Jiu asked in confusion: "What can't be said about this?"
Isn't it just borrowing official silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs?
This is the favor of the imperial court. It is allowed to be borrowed. What are you doing secretly?
The fourteenth elder brother whispered: "My uncle's house is in trouble for a while, so I helped him borrow some money."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "Why do we need you to come forward? Their family can't borrow money themselves?"
The fourteenth elder brother said: "My grade is not high and I don't have much money to borrow, so I helped."
Brother Jiu reminded: "Then you should be more careful. Don't let your relatives trick you. Ask people to inquire whether it is true that you are not willing to help, or there are other reasons. The former Xinjun Prince's Mansion was impeached, and the one who made usury money,
Didn’t it say later that the capital was borrowed from the household department’s money?”
It was just that he was too greedy. Others got only three points of profit, and the other party got five points of profit. He also paid huge profits, and almost forced people to death, so he asked people to expose him.
Brother Fourteen blinked his eyes and said: "Thank you, Brother Ninth, for reminding me. I will ask someone to inquire later..."
The tenth elder brother was standing by, listening to the two people talking, without interrupting, and only glanced at the fourteenth elder brother lightly.
The fourteenth elder brother felt uncomfortable, laughed twice, and went forward to talk to the eighth elder brother.
"Huh?"
Brother Fourteen walked up to Brother Eight, sniffed and said, "Why does it smell like medicine? Brother Eight, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
The eighth prince took out his wallet and said, "An insect repellent..."
The Fourteenth Brother looked at him carefully and saw that he was doing everything as usual, and said: "The smell of the medicine is a bit stronger, not as good as the Ninth Brother's sachet."
The eighth prince smiled and said nothing else.
Just now the ninth elder brother spoke to the fourteenth elder brother, and he naturally listened to everything.
Brother Fourteen is young and showing off that he is about to have a child...
If his physical condition goes well, it will take three years for him to have a child even smaller than that of his fourteenth brother, let alone the brothers above him.
The fourteenth elder brother lowered his voice and said: "Bag, I saw the loan book from the Ministry of Revenue. The princes and princes of the clan have borrowed a lot of money. Why didn't you think of borrowing a sum?"
This money, which has no interest, can be loaned out and placed directly in the bank, with a profit of three cents. According to the rule of one profit per dollar, it can be doubled in less than three years.
This is still not against the law, and there is no need to worry about impeachment by the censor.
Brother Fourteen gave it a try at first, borrowing 20,000 yuan, putting it in his uncle's bank, and then released it directly.
Later I borrowed it a second time, for fifty thousand taels.
The monthly income of these 70,000 taels of silver is 2,110 taels, which is almost equivalent to a Baylor title.
The fourteenth elder brother didn't think anything was wrong before, but when the ninth elder brother mentioned it just now, he felt a little uncomfortable. He was afraid that he would be too conspicuous and would be accused in front of the imperial court, so he thought that "the law does not punish everyone".
The eighth prince waved his hand and said: "That's the grace of Khan Amma. It's used by princes and ministers when they can't make money. I still have some money here..."
It's just that when I first got the money, I lost tens of thousands taels. I also spent a lot of it in the past five years, and now half of it is left.
Thinking of this, the eighth elder brother couldn't help but look at his brothers in front.
Because of Brother Nine, the brothers in front of them all made a lot of money in Xiaotangshan. It was said to the outside world that each family was fifty thousand taels, but in fact, just looking at the income of Xiaotangshan at that time, you know that the capital was much more.
Brother Jiu also subsidized everyone on a one-to-one basis, so everyone received about one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Eighth prince's flesh aches.
If he and Brother Jiu had no quarrel at that time, given their relationship, they would definitely spill the beans.
As a result, in the end, even the twelve, thirteen and fourteen brothers all shared the money, but I received nothing. Instead, 10,000 taels of silver were deducted for palace construction expenses...
