The next day, Brother Jiu went to the fold, stating the importance of the sailors, and proposed two ways to improve the warship, which Kangxi happily adopted, and immediately ordered people to draw up a holy decree and distribute it to the whole country.

For a time, families who donated shipbuilding drawings flocked to the Qing Dynasty, which greatly improved the shipbuilding level of the Qing Dynasty, but this is a later story, not for the time being.

Let's say that after leaving Jiangning, at the beginning of a period of time, the prince was very peaceful, but Li Jiashi often looked for Cao Ying and told her about the personality and hobbies of the heroines in Yuqing Palace, saying how rich Yuqing Palace was, and wanting to make Cao Ying be dazzled by wealth.

It's just that she made a mistake, Cao Ying is the eldest daughter of the Cao family, and she was also cultivated according to the standards of the clan woman, and the Cao family is the object of flattery by everyone in Jiangnan.

In addition to saying that Yuqing Palace is rich and noble, Li Jiashi also said some good things about the prince from time to time, saying how much he was favored by the emperor, how much he was loved by the courtiers, how diligent he was, and how gentle he was to his wife and children, which made Cao Ying very embarrassed.

Occasionally, Fu Suni and Thirteen Fujin also heard a few ears, and Thirteen Fujin said in a low voice: "Ninth sister-in-law, is the prince really as good as Li Fangfujin said?" How did I not know? ”

Fusuni chuckled, "You still don't allow people to praise your own man?" In your eyes, I'm afraid the thirteenth brother is the best, right? ”

Thirteen Fujin blushed: "The ninth sister-in-law is really, she knows how to make fun of people." ”

She asked in a low voice: "Ninth sister-in-law, you say, will the Cao family be moved?" ”

Fusuni spread her hands: "I'm not a god, how can I know?" However, no matter whether the Cao family is happy or not, it is always Khan Ama who decides her fate, not the crown prince. ”

And Kangxi, obviously, will not hand over Jiangnan, the territory with the largest proportion of tax revenue in the country, to the prince.

Kangxi didn't want to watch the Qing Dynasty be bullied by foreigners more than a hundred years later, so he must increase investment in education, military and science and technology, and these need a steady stream of money!

He would never let anyone else take possession of Jiangnan's wealth and use it for useless battles or pleasures!

It's just that the prince can't see this, or rather, he knows it in his heart, but he wants to struggle again.

After more than ten days, the prince had a little chance encounter with Cao Ying from time to time, but fortunately, Cao Ying was originally guarding against this, so he usually didn't go to places with few people, let alone act alone, every time he went out, he always brought a mother and a girl, so as not to let himself have a chance to be alone.

Therefore, although the prince and Cao Ying had several chance encounters, they were all in full view of everyone and could not do anything beyond the norm.

The prince was naturally not satisfied with such contact, on this day, the southern tour team came to Linyi, Shandong, and Li Jiashi said to Cao Ying: "Miss Cao has lived in Jiangnan for a long time, I'm afraid I haven't seen the customs of this northern land, right?" It's good that the emperor is going to stay here for a few days, so we might as well go out shopping. ”

Cao Ying naturally couldn't refuse, she said, "Then the slave went to invite the Nine Blessings and the Thirteen Blessings to go with them." ”

Li Jiashi stretched out his hand to stop and said with a smile: "Nine Fu Jin and Thirteen Fu Jin are afraid that they are tired from the journey, so we won't bother." ”

Cao Ying was a little uneasy in her heart, and she traveled alone with Li Jia's family, and she didn't know what kind of accident she would encounter......

At this moment, I only heard a familiar and beautiful voice say: "Li Fangfujin is too considerate, but my thirteenth brother and sister and I are also preparing to go out, just together." ”

Li Jiashi's face stiffened, turned around stiffly, and pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetched: "I thought that Jiufujin and Thirteen Fujin would have to rest before going out." ”

Thirteen Fujin smiled: "My ninth sister-in-law and I are in good health, it's okay to be tired." ”

Cao Ying happily saluted: "The slave asks for peace to the Nine Blessings, the Thirteenth Blessings, and Brother Hongyan." ”

When Fusuni saw her look, she knew her intentions, and she couldn't help but appreciate her a little, in a feudal dynasty like the Qing Dynasty, being able to resist the temptation from the prince shows that her mind is firm.

Fu Suni smiled: "Fang Fujin, Miss Cao, where do you want to go?" ”

Cao Ying said: "The slave is not familiar with Linyi at all, didn't Jiufujin go down to Jiangnan a few years ago, did he pass through Linyi?" ”

Fusuni said: "I really walked here, but I didn't stay here last time, and I didn't go out for a walk, but this time I have time, it's good to go out for a walk." ”

Hongyan jumped up excitedly: "Enie, I want Mu Xuan'er!" ”

Hongyan has long heard that the most famous thing in Linyi, Shandong is Mu Xuan'er, he has seen it at Hongsheng's brother before, and he doesn't let him play with his baby. Hmph, this time he has to buy a lot of Mu Xuan'er, more and better than Brother Hongsheng's!

Thirteen Fujin smiled and took his hand: "Okay, let's go buy Mu Xuan'er." ”

The group went out happily, Li Jiashi gritted his teeth, and still followed with steps.

Along the way, Hongyan chirped and was very excited, he said: "Enie, I want to buy a lot of Muxuaner, send a few to Brother Honghui, and send a few to Brother Honghui, and Brother Hongxu......"

Li Jiashi interjected: "Why don't you send a few to Brother Honghui?" ”

Hongyan tilted his head suspiciously, and said, "Won't Fang Fujin buy it for Brother Honghui?" Brother Honghui is so pitiful, then I'll give him a few. ”

Thirteen Fujin smiled and rubbed Hongyan's head vigorously, this kid, how can his head be so smart.

When they arrived at the shop that sold Mu Xuan'er, Hongyan ran in cheering, and Fusuni shouted from behind, "Slow down." ”

However, as soon as Hongyan entered the door, he didn't flutter, and saluted respectfully: "My nephew greets the second uncle, Amma, and the thirteenth uncle." ”

Fusuni glanced at Cao Ying meaningfully, and sure enough, she saw that her body was tense.

Walking in the door, sure enough, I saw that the prince, the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were all there, and the two sides saluted, and Fu Suni asked, "Master, didn't you say that you wanted to go out to eat and drink with the thirteenth brother?" ”

The ninth elder brother said: "Didn't you meet the second brother on the road, the second brother said that he wanted to bring some gifts to his nephews, so he thought about buying a little for our kid, so he came with the thirteenth brother, and you also came to buy Mu Xuan'er?" That's a coincidence. ”

Hongyan excitedly hugged Brother Jiu's leg and said, "Amma, you want to buy me a gift?" I want Mu Xuan'er, I want a lot of Mu Xuan'er! ”

"Okay, okay, Amma bought it for you."

The prince and Li Jiashi glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

On this day, Cao Ying once again spent it safely, and no matter what the prince and Li Jiashi had planned, they failed to succeed.

Back at the palace, the group ran into a dusty minion.

Brother Nine stopped him: "Aren't you a slave in the Fourth Brother's Mansion?" ”

The slave wiped a handful of tears and cried, "Ninth Master, eldest brother, he ...... Big brother, he's gone......
