After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt relieved and told Wu Fujin: "Not only must you raise your children well, but you must also raise yourself well. Only then will you be happy. It will be good to have more children in the future."

Wufu Jin nodded and said: "Grandma Huang, don't worry, my granddaughter-in-law will take good care of her baby."

After the Queen Mother told Wu Fujin, she looked at Shu Shu, took a closer look, and said: "My sister is dressed up well today, looks Shuiling, and looks like Xiaojiu."

Concubine Yi stood by and said with a smile: "When it comes to birthdays, the two sisters-in-law are the bigger ones."

The Queen Mother pulled Shu Shu closer and said: "What does the imperial doctor say? When will it be repaired? Don't follow the example of those outside who always think about whether you are thin or not. You still have to be strong and strong to be blessed."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "My granddaughter-in-law has endured a long summer and will not be able to raise her until autumn. I will pretend to be a little girl first, then go back to the garden and wander around with my ninth sister."

The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Okay, I will send you errands when the time comes to deliver messages and gifts to various royal gardens..."

Knowing that Shu Shu was going to Haidian in a few days, the Queen Mother didn't say anything else. She warned Wu Fujin once more and asked them to go back...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

Brother Jiu stood there and felt that his neck was stiff.

Have you been standing here for two quarters of an hour?

Have you been caught with any pigtails recently?

Brother Ninth looked suspiciously at Brother Seven next to him.

Brother Qi will not be idle. He will write down his early departure every day on the book, right?

Brother Seventh noticed his eyes and looked back, seemingly asking.

Brother Jiu frowned and stared, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Kangxi sat on the kang, his face as sinking as water, but his right hand was retracted into his cuff, and his fingertips felt numb.

No one knows his anger.

He claims to have good ears and eyes, and is not the kind of emperor who is held up high. Unexpectedly, he was tricked by his own slave Hu.

In addition to being angry, he was also a little worried.

He had read the brochure of Seventh Brother before.

It has been more than ten days since the ninth elder brother and the seventh elder brother mentioned the "hole" in the accounting department, which was enough for the seventh elder brother to investigate the Gao family in Yufeng Building.

It turned out that as early as thirty years ago, the Gao family was secretly involved with the Hesheli family.

The Gao family is still a common people, but they have a daughter who is married to a concubine of the Fucha family.

The two families became secretly married many years ago.

This Fucha family is Suo'etu's uncle's family.

Soetu, the Hesheli family...

Kangxi felt a little cramped in his heart, but he endured it to keep from losing his temper.

Did Suo'etu make his own decision?

But the Gao family belongs to him, Suo'etu deserves death!

He was getting annoyed when he saw Brother Jiu winking and said coldly: "What are you doing?"

Brother Ninth immediately became honest.

The old man has some evil fire, and he has some injustice.

While he was complaining, Kangxi was already staring at him and said: "Okay, why do you think of Cha Yufeng Tower?"

Brother Jiu glanced at Kangxi and said: "My son was ordered to marry Jiugequan, so he wanted to see if there was a suitable one in Xi'anmen Nei Street first, and did not choose Di'anmen Nei Street. These two places have the best business."

, the rent for official shops is also high, but when I saw the annual rent of forty-eight taels of silver, I was shocked..."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "It's just business. If you dare to rely on your status to find fault with other merchants for the sake of your Fujin shop, be careful of me!"

Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "You underestimate your son too much. Your son remembers the holy teachings of Emperor Shizu really. How can he compete with the people for profit? Besides, my son is not short of money now. The profit of the shop is still high."

If I have my son Fujin’s marriage income, it will add up to two or thirty thousand taels of silver a year, which is no problem. After fifteen years, Akdan’s family division money and Ni Guzhu’s dowry will have been saved!”

Kangxi said unhappily: "It's not the best. If you lose the dignity of the royal family, I won't care about saving your dignity!"

After hearing this, Ninth Brother was confused, hesitating whether to report the bank's affairs first, so as not to attract maggots.

Kangxi saw this in his eyes and pondered: "Is there anything that would make people find fault with you?"

Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "How could it be? My son is familiar with the Laws of the Qing Dynasty, and he also knows the Rules of the Eight Banners by heart, so he won't give others a chance to criticize him."

"Then what are you guilty of?" Kangxi asked.

Brother Jiu feels that now is not a good time to talk about the bank.

The man on the left and right had to wait for the incident in Xiaotangshan to be settled, and he could only make plans if he had the remaining money in his hands. He said: "My son is just calculating the accounts in his mind, wondering if he can save enough money to separate the family and get married without adding Fujin's dowry to his income."

…”

Kangxi frowned and said, "You are just thinking about these things when you are not doing your job all day long?"

Hearing this, Brother Jiu sighed heavily, glanced at Kangxi, and said: "My son, isn't he frustrated? After two years of tossing and making a lot of troubles, I thought that the source of income was more or less the same.

It’s just a small achievement, but in the end... alas... my son wanted to calm down a little bit, and if he continued to make more money, he became a big shopkeeper who made money for the slaves, and it became a big joke!"

Kangxi's eyes fell on a few books, which came up together with the seventh elder brother's zhezi, and the two pages of forms written by the ninth elder brother.

"What did you use to estimate the rent for this shop?"

Kangxi asked.

Brother Jiu said: "I didn't compare with other places, I only compared with the streets outside Di'anmen. Nowadays, the imperial city's access control is relaxed, and the Eight Banners' soldiers and civilians are not very restricted from entering and exiting. The streets inside Di'anmen are no less prosperous than those outside Di'anmen.

Then comparing Xi'anmen Nei Street and Di'an Mennei Street, Xi'an Mennei Street has more passengers. However, the rent of official apartments has always been cheap. My son did not convert it according to the market price, but calculated it according to 50% of the previous years' rent. This rent

The price was checked from the red deed of the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This is subject to tax. The rent reported to the Yamen will only be lower, not higher, so it will not be overestimated..."

The current reported annual rent for the three hundred official shops in the imperial city is only 10,500 taels.

If compared with the rental price on Di'anmen Street, it can be directly increased by fifteen to twenty times...
