When the eighth elder brother came out, the ninth elder brother was already waiting.
Everyone pays attention to the look on the eighth prince's face.
The brothers in front had different expressions when they came out, some were proud and some were sad.
The Eighth Prince seemed a bit enigmatic here, and there was nothing visible on his face.
Brother Ninth has a bad feeling.
None of the brothers in front of me were scolded, so I wouldn't be the unlucky one, right?
When he entered the Qingxi Bookstore, he remembered the scene of the imperial dynasty a few days ago in his mind.
On that day during the Great Hall of Supreme Harmony, his position was quite close to the throne, but he was still several feet away and could not clearly see the emperor's expression.
At that time, the emperor's father was wearing court robes, and he was the only one who stood out among the thousands of people.
Today in Qingxi Bookstore, the distance between father and son is less than ten feet.
The comparison between the two scenes makes people feel very complicated.
"Son, I wish Khan Ama's safety..."
Brother Jiu, sincerely say hello.
"Qika..."
Kangxi looked at his cautious appearance, snorted softly, and said: "If I don't pass it on to you, why don't you want to see me? Don't spend a year and a half thinking about an errand!"
The ninth elder brother immediately said: "My son has been wronged. Even if Khan Ama doesn't pass on the news, my son will have to see you today and tomorrow. I promised the eighteenth elder brother long ago that I will take him out to play in the garden for two days, and I will wait for Khan Ama to come back."
!”
"It's nothing serious. You just want to have fun and kidnap Brother Eighteen?"
Kangxi was dissatisfied.
The ninth elder brother said: "Don't you think that the eighteenth elder brother will enter the study next year? The only time to relax and enjoy is this half year..."
It would be even more impossible to wait until next year to bring Brother Eighteen out.
Khan Amar has always valued the homework of princes. Studying is an important matter and no one can delay it.
Kangxi glared at him and said, "Are you thinking about your Zhuangzi in Fujin again?"
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "It happens to be close to Changchun Garden. I took the children there to see things. I can't learn "Singing the Goose" without knowing chickens, ducks and geese..."
Seeing Kangxi's expression softening as the father and son talked, Brother Ninth became a little less cautious and began to look at the stool.
The total time it took for the brothers in front to see each other was one hour.
It was not as hard as the previous one, who also had to ride for half an hour.
This waist is almost straight.
Kangxi saw this in his eyes and frowned: "You can't stand now?"
Brother Jiu said with some flattery: "Khan Ama, my son has been standing in front of me for an hour..."
So, this is still punishment, right?
When I have nothing to do, let my sons "stand for punishment".
It would be fine if I were waiting for the check-in, but I was standing under the sun.
Kangxi snorted coldly and let Brother Jiu sit down.
Brother Jiu sat down, exhaled, and said: "Khan Ama, can my son ask for leave in advance? If there is a big court in the future, my son will not be able to make up for it..."
Kangxi glared at him, with an unhappy look on his face, and said, "No! You only have a few imperial dynasties a year, but you want to be lazy?"
Brother Jiu said: "The sons are just to make up the number. The more sons are not too much, the younger sons are not too much. I really want my son to be tired, and I have to worry about Khan and Amma."
Kangxi said: "What are I worried about? I work hard every day. You, my son, don't talk about sharing the worries of the emperor, but think about being lazy. It's a beautiful idea, don't think about it!"
When Brother Jiu heard this, it made no sense.
What are you worrying about?
Did those ministers get their salaries for free?
Even if the prince travels with the ministry, Ninth Prince doesn't think it's necessary.
Just pick a few capable people to gain experience, and you don't have to go to school. Anyone who doesn't want to work has to follow the team.
But with these words, he could only mutter in his heart, and said on his face: "My son is self-aware and doesn't like to cause trouble for everyone. He specializes in this industry. If it's nothing more than the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he won't even mess with it and influence it."
Even if it involves government affairs, this son cannot bear the responsibility."
Kangxi was stunned when he heard "self-knowledge".
He had just hit the eighth prince earlier, hoping that he would stop being ambitious and lack talent, and learn to be down-to-earth.
It turned out that the eighth prince was very ambitious and obviously didn't listen.
When I arrived at Ninth Brother's place, I expected him to be down-to-earth and pragmatic, but he was hiding under the guise of "self-knowledge".
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth, a little puzzled, and said: "Don't you keep saying that you are the pillar of the family? You still want to save a family fortune for your children, and you don't think about making achievements, but only think about saving money? But you should know that for the clan,
Said, money is nothing, the rank is the most important."
Brother Jiu heard this, with hesitation on his face, and said: "But... Akdan and the others are the royal grandsons, not an ordinary clan. When they become adults, Khan Ama will not let them pass the test for titles and titles like ordinary clans."
, it will definitely be highly praised!”
Kangxi didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He looked at Brother Jiu and said, "How dare you support the family just by talking about it, but you still count on me in your heart?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Who gave the son the blessing to become a prince? The son of the son followed Zhan Guang and became the grandson of the emperor. He is naturally waiting for Khan Amma's grace. They are all his son's legitimate sons. What happened to Khan Amma?
You wouldn’t be willing to let your grandson become a general, right?”
Just by looking at the Queen Mother, you will know that it is common for four generations of the royal family to live under one roof.
Let alone the emperor's grandson, it is impossible to say that the emperor's great-grandson can also receive the grace of the emperor's father.
Thinking of this, Brother Jiu smiled more and more flatteringly, but for some reason he thought of the prince.
At that time, the prince should cry.
The prince's appearance of not scrupulously eating meat and vegetables, but his body and bones may not be able to survive the emperor's father.
Even the eldest brother will become an old man.
The ninth elder brother thought of the thirteenth elder brother again, and unexpectedly came up with another guess.
Is it possible that the thirteenth elder brother is not only preparing to assist the king, but also preparing to become the heir apparent?
Brother Ninth's mood was a little strange.
If that's the case, why can't he be a candidate for the Tenth Prince?
The tenth elder brother is two years older than the thirteenth elder brother, and his status and abilities are not inferior.
Immediately, the ninth elder brother also understood why the tenth elder brother could not be a candidate.
Just because it’s just a “candidate”…
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Why don't you say that you don't have longevity? It sounds nice, but it only lasts for three days, and then you become lazy again!"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "This is what Khan Amma taught me well. All the brothers can do it. Khan Amma does not lack a son to share the burden, but Caiyi Yuqin's son does his best..."
Kangxi: "..."
Brother Jiu said confidently: "Whether it is an honorable family or an ordinary banner family, there are no children who can all become talented. The promising sons will serve the country and the people, and the unpromising sons will be welcomed by everyone, and each will find his own place."
This is what Fujin once said.
As the children were studying, the couple discussed their son's education and felt that there was no need to force it.
As long as you can learn how to be a human being, that's fine.
Kangxi frowned and said: "It's all fallacies..."
Brother Jiu said: "As long as the son is not a prince, then he must be like a dog and a fly. Who wants his son to be a prince? He has already received great blessings and is in a high position. If he is not satisfied anymore, he is asking for trouble."
Kangxi: "..."
Kangxi would think this was false when other sons said it, but Brother Jiu said it was really true.
When they were in the study room since they were little, the other princes wanted to hang their heads and pierce their buttocks, striving to get ahead; only the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were two weirdos who only wanted to be lazy and fool around.
He thought about Jiu Fujin's behavior again. He was obviously a young man, but he was able to stay. His temperament was not shy and demure, but he was not sociable.
Even the female relatives of the family rarely socialize.
Apart from my mother's family, the only people who interacted with me were my sisters-in-law and close relatives.
Kangxi looked at Brother Ninth with a complicated expression.
Compared with his brothers, Brother Jiu is lucky to have a wife.
If Dong E's family was restless and encouraged Brother Jiu to make progress, it would be another situation.
He thought of yesterday's news and said, "You sent people to Isan's house to offer condolences?"
Brother Jiu told the truth and sent people to participate in the follow-up matters, saying: "It's just my son who is worrying about it. No matter how young Idu Li is, he is not a concubine. He also has an old father-in-law who is a minister. It's not like the two brothers can bully them if they want."
of."
He did not conceal his care for Iduli and praised: "I don't have the problem of a noble son. He is down-to-earth and capable, and he can speak Mandarin well. He should have been a member of the Imperial Academy. The family was too anxious, so he made up for the errand last year. My son loves his talent...
…”
Speaking of this, he thought about Cao Shun's report yesterday, and couldn't help but complain, saying: "It's pitiful, these people are all snobbish. I don't believe that they dare to bully their younger brother when they are seeking glory, so they can only
He knelt down to prevent him from mourning..."
Kangxi had a cold look on his face.
He hates Suo'etu, but he is not a person who expresses his anger casually.
Ishan'a can't be tolerated, not only because he is Suo'etu's son-in-law, but more importantly because he has chosen Malhan's daughter for his youngest son.
Although this marriage was arranged by Mrs. Isang, Isang's acquiescence was a kind of compromise.
Ethan, who was originally aloof from social groups and party members, also preferred to be a "princeling".
Because of this, Kangxi naturally had no good impression of Yiduli.
But he also has a young son...
Now he is dissatisfied with the prince because the prince is not friendly to his younger brother.
The prince was held in high esteem, and he was not close to his brothers and relatives.
In the eyes of the prince, Kangxi was not annoyed that his eldest brother was his rival.
However, the prince did not regard other princes as brothers, which disappointed Kangxi very much.
Comparing one's feelings with one's own, Kangxi somewhat understood the reason why Yi Sang'a compromised on his youngest son's marriage.
Ethan got his son at a young age when he knew his destiny. He was about thirty years older than his previous son, so there was no sense of brotherhood. He would still have to rely on his maternal family in the future.
In that case, it is human nature to choose a marriage that is close to the maternal family.
Death is like a lamp going out.
Kangxi's resentment towards Yisang'a was much less.
He glanced at the book on the kang table. It was a book from the Ministry of Rites, and it was about the funeral and posthumous title of the scholar Isan Ah...

Outside Qingxi Bookstore.
Brother Fourteen looked at his pocket watch with a subtle expression.
I thought that starting from the fifth elder brother, the time for the following brothers to meet the driver would be shorter and shorter.
But in fact, the only short ones are the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother.
It's a quarter of an hour for the eighth prince, and it's almost a quarter of an hour for the ninth prince, and he hasn't come out yet...
