Chapter 1981 Double Happiness (Seeking a monthly ticket)
Kangxi was critical of the Ninth Prince, but seeing that he was obedient and not slacking off, he was quite satisfied.
He pointed to a chair and asked the Ninth Prince to sit on it, and said, "Has the official started cooking?"
The Ninth Prince sat down and nodded, saying, "We have to choose the location of the Guozhuang. It cannot be away from the Imperial Household Department. The same is true for the master chef. We have to choose someone from the craftsmen of the Imperial Household Department."
Kangxi had seen his previous plans and had nothing to worry about. He just said, "Hayattu is steady. If you encounter something you don't understand, ask more questions and don't be arrogant."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "I understand, son."
Kangxi habitually finished scolding his son and talked about business, saying: "Fengsheng and Akdan are both good children. I am worried about your teaching them carelessly. Prepare to enter the upper study room with the eighteenth prince next year!"
The Ninth Prince widened his eyes.
This is really an unexpected surprise.
I had been thinking of asking for some advice and grace by the end of this year or next year, but I never expected that grace would come on its own.
The Ninth Prince was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Father Khan, for your kindness. I am worried about myself..."
As he spoke, he recalled what the children said when he received the silver as reward the day before. They were all good and filial children. When he was four years old, he ate and slept soundly, and only knew how to run around in Yiku Palace and Yongshou Palace all day long.
He had originally just wanted his children to be safe and healthy, and now he also had a desire for them to become successful.
He was not outstanding since childhood and was not as successful as his brothers, but he did not want his sons to be worse than his nephews.
Kangxi snorted and said, "You are quite self-aware!"
The Ninth Prince sighed and said, "It's not difficult to educate a child. I still have Cao Yueying at home. But I am soft-hearted and can't be a strict father. Thinking about how I raised Fengsheng and the other two like chicks until now, I can't bear to discipline them strictly."
He skipped over what he hadn't said and said that the person who needed to be taken care of was Niguzhu.
Fengsheng and Akdan are not noisy children.
Kangxi felt sad after hearing this.
So does he.
If I could really make up my mind, I wouldn't have to worry about my sons.
He had a weak kinship with his family and had not spent much time with his parents. He lost his father and mother one after another. When he became a father, he wanted to make all his sons happy.
But eight out of ten things in this world are not as we wish.
The ninth prince then praised Fengsheng: "At the age of four, he already knows that he needs to earn money to support his family. He is a good child. Akdan is also thinking about buying jewelry for his mother. Niguzhu also said that he wants to grow vegetables and raise cattle to provide us with food and drink."
Who wouldn’t want these three great treasures?
After listening to this, Kangxi thought about the news from the study.
Several of the emperor's grandsons who entered the palace to study were either the legitimate son or the eldest son, and they would be the ones to support the family in the future.
But Hongyu is weak, Hongqing is timid and clumsy, Hongsheng is a little stupid, and the remaining Honghui and Hongshu do not seem to have any shortcomings for the time being.
On the contrary, Hongxi, who had retired from the study, was good at both civil and military studies and had better aptitude, but his unrighteous heart was his biggest problem, and it was nothing to regret.
The Ninth Prince was still praising, "It is said that some children come to collect debts, and some come to repay kindness. These children in my son's family are here to repay kindness..."
Kangxi was upset and couldn't listen.
Whose four-year-old child is thinking about making money? !
Whose four-year-old child is thinking about buying jewelry and worrying about farming and raising cattle? !
Isn't it because the father is unstable and makes the children worried?
Kangxi was displeased with the Ninth Prince and said, "You have taught him a bad lesson. Stop teaching him recklessly!"
The Ninth Prince was embarrassed.
This... really no one taught me...
Although children are young, they have their own ideas.
He leaned back in his chair. He had originally intended to work hard in the Lifanyuan for two years to ask for mercy, but now that mercy had come, it seemed like there was no point.
Is it time to be lazy?
Kangxi naturally noticed that he had relaxed, and looked over with a probing look in his eyes.
The Ninth Prince couldn't say that he wanted to be lazy, so he said, "I'm thinking of my twelfth and thirteenth brothers. Last time in Xiaotangshan, they were young and didn't have much savings. I didn't leave much money. I was thinking of finding an opportunity to give them some money. I can't let them live a stingy life."
"Not enough for you to worry about..."
Kangxi scolded him, but he was quite satisfied in his heart.
As older brothers, if you have the ability to take care of your younger brothers, you should do so, and it is your duty.
This is also a way to share the worries of my father-in-law, which is filial piety.
If you can't truly love your brothers, how can you truly be filial to your father?
It’s okay when you are young, as brothers get along with each other based on their temperaments and personalities; when you get older, you should know that brothers are brothers, and you should know who is close and who is not.
The Ninth Prince was afraid that Kangxi would ask him in detail, so after saying this, he got back to business and said, "Since it is Khan Ama's grace that Yun Fengsheng and his brother will enter the palace to study next year, then do you have a ready-made candidate for Hahazhuzi?"
As for the children in the family now, except for Bo Ge'er, none of them is particularly outstanding.
The identity of the emperor's grandson Hahazhuzi is also limited.
There is only one son of Baoyi Hahazhuzi, and the others have to be sons of clan relatives, nobles, or ministers.
The prince’s haha beads are for eight people, two of whom are chosen from each of them; the emperor’s grandson’s haha beads are for four people, one of whom is chosen from each of them.
Where can I find the Ninth Prince?
He only had dealings with a few clan members and nobles, and he didn't have any children of the right age.
Kangxi remembered what Concubine Yi had said before and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. It's okay for others, but you don't have to worry about Xiaoqi from the Dong'e family. Leave her to Xiaoshiba..."
The Ninth Prince was surprised and said, "My son really didn't think of that place at the moment. I thought Fengsheng and his friends had to choose their Haha beads from the Zhenglan Banner."
We grew up together, and will serve the young master in the future.
It is most convenient to select candidates from the population of this banner or under the Ninth Prince.
Kangxi said: "I will pay close attention to it."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Then don't worry about it."
However, it was a pleasant surprise that his little brother-in-law had found a prince to study with him.
The Ninth Prince looked at Kangxi and said, "Did the Dong'e family benefit from their son's fame? This is the Khan giving his son face!"
Kangxi: "..."
Some have big faces.
However, husband and wife are one body, and giving respect to Dong E is also giving respect to the Ninth Prince.
Kangxi did not deny this.
The Ninth Prince said happily: "It's all because my father loves me so much that I didn't even think of this. I have indeed caused a lot of trouble to my son's wife's family in the past few years..."
He didn't say much about Xiaoqi.
Little Eighteen will not enter the Imperial Study until next year, so it is not certain whether the Emperor will summon Little Seven before then.
As for Xiao Qi's character and behavior, the emperor's father will find out himself.
He felt motivated again.
All my hard work is being seen by the Emperor, so I won’t let it go to waste.
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and was quite satisfied to see him rubbing his hands in preparation.
What's the point of young people always thinking about being lazy?
When it is time to be diligent, you should be more diligent.
Kangxi said to the Ninth Prince: "If you work hard, you will be promoted to a ministry quickly. If you don't work hard, you will be promoted to a government office in two or three years, and it may take you ten or twenty years to complete your promotion..."
The Ninth Prince was startled and said, "The errands in these yamen are basically the same. We don't need to rotate them all, right? Two or three yamen will be enough!"
I studied in the Shangshufang for ten years, and then rotated in ministries and institutes for another ten to twenty years. I have spent half of my life studying.
For the Ninth Prince, he dared not even think about it.
If I don't get a salary, then I won't get one. This way, I won't be restricted by much; but what about studying?
It would be bad if Khan Ama found fault with everything.
Kangxi said: "You have no experience, you are just talking about war on paper and working behind closed doors. How can I trust you with the task?"
The Ninth Prince really wanted to say that it was better to be worried, so he went to find someone who could make him feel at ease.
With so many sons, there aren't so many errands to do.
People like the Fourteenth Prince are eager to grab the job.
But he remembered the Fourth Prince's words, and went over them in his mind before speaking in front of the emperor. Needless to say, this was just asking for trouble.
After coming out from the imperial court, the Ninth Prince still had a happy look on his face.
Let’s not talk about whether he studies or not. If that were the case, he would rather stay in a government office for a few more years so that he can use his brain less and worry less.
Today is a double happiness.
It was not yet time to close the office, so the Ninth Prince did not return to the Lifanyuan. Instead, he left Qipan Street and went directly to the Zongrenfu Yamen.
Usually the Tenth Prince would pick him up, but today he picked up his younger brother.
His whole body was filled with joy, and the Tenth Prince noticed something different.
"Has the matter of the official pot been arranged?"
The Tenth Prince asked.
The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "I'm still preparing. It's not that, it's another happy event..."
As he spoke, he whispered about the grace that had just been bestowed upon him by the Emperor.
The Tenth Prince knew that what the Ninth Prince was obsessed with was Akdan's study, and he was happy for him, saying, "That's great, the Ninth Prince can rest assured now."
The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "Yes, but the Third Prince will definitely be jealous!"
After the two brothers came out of the clan house, they returned to the Beiguanfang.
Shushu, Princess Guizhen has just left.
The Ninth Prince returned to the capital, Gui Dan reported it, and there was also a follow-up to Princess Gui Zhen's matchmaking.
Her birthday is just a few days away, so she plans to bring the Third Princess over. She will have to bring her over to pay respects to Madam Bo and Shu Shu, and this will be a good opportunity to arrange for the Third Princess to meet Gui Dan.
It is not good to get married blindly. It must be a good match after both parties have seen it and are satisfied with each other.
Otherwise, even if she was kind enough to act as a matchmaker, it might not be successful.
Princess Guizhen is so meticulous, Shushu can only agree with her.
For a man, if he does not marry a wife he likes, he can still take concubines and maids without any delay; but for a woman, it is like being reborn a second time.
Shushu also hopes to have a good beginning and a good end.
When the Ninth Prince came back, Shushu mentioned this matter and said, "It's the latter day. Master, remember not to ask Guidan to come that day. Then find an excuse to let him go to the backyard to see it."
As for meeting the bride at home, Shushu felt it was inappropriate and too arrogant.
Their status as a couple was higher than that of the Third Princess, a princess without a title, but Gui Dan's status was not as high as that of the Third Princess.
Gui Dan is close to the Ninth Prince. If she acts frivolously, people outside will only talk about the Ninth Prince.
Besides, Gui Dan's temper should be suppressed. If he lowers his head and marries a wife, he and his wife will have more respect for each other in the future...
