It's not yet noon, and the auspicious time for Jiugege to get married is after sunset.
There is still more than half a day to work on.
Everyone sat with him, bored.
By noon, when it was time to eat, someone came to invite me.
Concubine Yi sent Peilan to invite Wu Fujin, Shu Shu, and Ten Fujin to Yikun Palace.
Concubine Hui sent people to invite the Seventh Fortune and the Eighth Fortune to Yanxi Palace.
The Crown Princess invited San Fujin to Yuqing Palace.
After coming out of the dormitory, Shi Fujin hugged Shu Shu's arm and whispered softly: "After sitting for two hours, my waist is straight."
Shu Shu also whispered: "This is because the empress feels sorry for us, so she took us over to eat and take a nap."
When the sisters-in-law passed through the imperial garden, Shi Fujin stood at the door of his elder brother's house and said with a bit of melancholy: "I miss the third house a little bit..."
Shu Shu also glanced over there.
At present, the second house is occupied by Pingjun Wang Nersu, and the third house is still empty.
But when next spring comes, Honghui from Sibeile Mansion and Hongshu from Qibele Mansion enter the palace, and they should live in the three houses.
This little brother can live in it.
If my younger brother comes to the palace again, it will be necessary to repair the four buildings.
Wufujin looked to the east.
Hongsheng lives there.
I didn't think it was anything before, but now Wufujin can't help but worry about gains and losses. He is worried that when the next group of emperor's grandsons grow up, they will no longer have the grace of the emperor's grandson to study in the palace.
When he saw Shu Shu, Wu Fujin felt at ease again.
There are many elder brothers from various families above studying in the study room, but the eldest son of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Fengsheng, is not in that group.
There will be grace when you look back.
The group arrived at Yikun Palace.
Yifei had been waiting for a long time and asked the kitchen to make mutton buns, assorted buns, and chicken soup and tofu pots.
The three of us had lunch.
Concubine Yi had already asked someone to clean up the kang in the west room so that the couple could take a nap.
Shu Shu went to bed late last night and was already tired. When she lay down, she didn't choose a table, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
But she was afraid that she had overslept, so she asked Walnut Shenchu to wake her up.
When Walnut pushed her awake, she was the only one left in the room.
Shu Shu sat up and rubbed her temples.
I feel sleepy in spring and tired in autumn, and even a good night's sleep is of no use.
Walnut had already opened the package he was carrying, and inside there was a big red robe cover, a big red rhinestone cover, and a pair of red satin embroidered flowerpot-soled flag shoes.
The rule nowadays is to dress up like this whether you are welcoming your wife or seeing her off.
There is a coat mirror in the West Hall. After Shu Shu got dressed, she looked in the mirror and felt very awkward.
Walnut was adjusting the wrinkles on his robe and said, "Fu Jin looks really good in red."
Wearing clothes in other colors looks a bit thin, but once you wear bright red, your whole look will look better.
Shu Shu couldn't help complaining: "Who ordered this to wear? It's very annoying."
Add a hijab and you can directly act as the bride.
When they arrived at Dongci Room, Concubine Yi was having tea and talking with Wufujin and Shifujin.
Seeing Shu Shu dressed up and coming in, Shi Fujin's eyes lit up and he praised: "Sister-in-law Jiu looks good..."
Concubine Yi also nodded and said: "It's better to wear this color. It looks energetic and makes you look whiter."
Shu Shu also took a seat and said: "It's just a matchmaker's mole and a big smoking pot!"
One sentence made everyone laugh.
Not only matchmakers smoke a lot, but there are also a lot of older girls.
Therefore, when the people of Nancheng mentioned the Eight Banners, they also said, "The banner girl is really weird, with a big pipe in her mouth."
Even among nobles and nobles, there are still smokers, but there are relatively few of them.
Because I wanted to participate in the "Eight Flags Draft", I was given high hopes by my parents and family, and I was afraid that I would be disliked because my teeth would turn yellow due to smoking.
Concubine Yi didn't smoke either, but she remembered that many of the dowries outside had cigarette pouches.
The inner house is boring. Some elderly Banner women did not smoke when they were young, but they still smoke when they get older.
She looked at Wu Fu Jin and Shu Shu and said: "It's useless to swallow clouds and ride on mist. The emperor has not banned this, but he doesn't recommend it either. You should not do it in the future. Not to mention your teeth are yellowed and your body stinks."
"
Wufujin and Shushu both stood up to listen and agreed in unison.
After looking at Shi Fujin, Concubine Yi said: "Smoking is not popular in Mongolia. This is good. You don't need to learn this when you come to Beijing."
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "I don't want to learn, I have snuff."
In fact, snuff is not different from dry pipes, but Concubine Yi did not preach too much.
Just stop there. If she talks too much, the emperor won't be happy.

Yanxi Palace, Dongci Palace.
Concubine Hui and Bafujin were also talking about smoking.
Bafujin was addicted to smoking, so he asked the girl to light a pot of cigarettes before taking a nap.
"Why are you thinking about smoking this?"
When Bafujin woke up, Concubine Hui asked with concern.
Although the two were not close, they had been together for three years, and she knew that Bafujin did not smoke before.
Bafujin lowered his head and said: "I caught a cold last spring and got rheumatism. I feel uncomfortable when the season changes. Smoking will make me feel better."
Concubine Hui sighed and said, "What did the imperial doctor say?"
"The imperial doctor said that it is not possible to remove the root, and that the plaster will have to be applied for a few years." Bafujin said in a dull voice.
Now, she already knows how to take care of her body, but it's a little late, and she has several problems with her body.
Three years of marriage not only brought her a loss of face, but also caused her to be riddled with illnesses.
Concubine Hui couldn't help but stop him from smoking. She only warned: "If you don't want medicine, you should just prescribe the right medicine. You are still young. It is better to take care of it for two or three years than to suffer every year in the future."
The Eight Blessings agreed.
In the back side hall, Qifu Jin also woke up and sat across from noble Dai Jia.
Dai Jiagui's mother-in-law is more reserved than Qi Fujin.
Qi Fujin took the initiative to talk about the situation in Qibele House: "The eldest brother has started to learn the rules and will be sent to the study next year. The eldest princess is six years old and has started to learn needlework. The second princess has also started to learn to speak. The third princess has also started to learn to speak."
At first I can walk on the kang, but it's not yet stable. Nala's pregnancy is good, and she should be able to give birth to a brother in October..."
After hearing this, noble Dai Jia became more and more uneasy and looked at Qi Fujin with shame.
When Qi Fujin saw this, he knew that this was the gossip about "loving concubines and destroying wives" outside, and it had spread to noble Dai Jia.
She smiled heartily and said: "Mother, don't listen to those people. Master Qi is not that kind of person. Na Lagege is in good health and has the appearance of many children. It's just that his background is too ordinary and there are no officials in the family. In the future, Hongshu and the others will
They didn’t look good in appearance either. It happened that their left collar was assigned to Master Qi. My daughter-in-law told Master Qi that she could have a job at Baylor Mansion, so Master Qi gave Hongshu’s grandfather the position of shepherd...
…”
After hearing this, noble Dai Jia's expression softened a lot.
The shepherd chief, the eighth grade official, is the lowest grade official among the princes and subordinate officials.
There is no chief shepherd in the Baylor Mansion, which is to hang people under the Prince Chun's Mansion.
Raising the status of the Nala Gege family will not lead to overindulgence in the affairs of the Baylor Mansion.
"That's good, you are husband and wife, others are nothing..."
Dai Jiagui said.
It's not that she doesn't regret it in her heart.
In the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Concubine Hui gave the seventh prince a title and gave her to Dai Jia, a nobleman, to choose from a dozen candidates.
Dai Jia was afraid that there would be some restless people, so he chose two official women whose fathers and ancestors had no official positions. He also looked at them for a while and saw that they were timid and not frivolous.
But who would have thought that La Gege was so capable of giving birth to a child, and within five years, she would be about to give birth to her fourth child.
She looked at Qi Fujin and said: "Since you know it well, there is no need to worry. There are early and late fates for women. When it gets warm next year, you can go to Hongluo Temple more often."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "Well, my daughter-in-law has taken note of it. My daughter-in-law is not in a hurry. She will give her a younger brother when Sangege is older. The same goes for my younger sister..."
*
In Yuqing Palace, the Crown Princess entertained San Fujin once, and the two sisters took the time to go to Ningshou Palace.
On the way, we passed by Zhongcui Palace.
Seeing the silence inside and outside the palace, Sanfujin's mood dropped.
Although the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is ordinary, she also knows that Rong Concubine and the Sanbeile Mansion are "both prosperous and disgraced."
There is also Princess Rongxian, who is about to arrive in Beijing. When the time comes, she will ask Concubine Rong how to answer her husband's question.
She asked the princess: "Second sister-in-law, you are cold. Our third master is worried about your wife. It is not easy to visit. Can you ask someone to send something in?"
Here in Baylor Mansion, two new mink fur cloaks and two small fur beanies were made for Concubine Rong.
After hearing this, the Crown Princess hesitated and said, "I don't know, my concubine's place is guarded by people from the imperial court. Maybe she needs to ask for an order."
After Sanfujin heard this, he felt a little sad in his heart.
How big a sin is it to torture someone like this?
This is the virtue of men. Whether they are emperors or ordinary people, they are always fond of the new and dislike the old.
San Fujin rubbed his handkerchief, feeling a little bored.
However, it did give her a heads up.
Go back and ask someone to find out if the girl belonging to the other family has a scholarly family background, is well-educated and knows etiquette, and then she will be a princess for the third elder brother.
Tian is one year older than the third elder brother, so she is no longer a young girl.
By the time the two of them arrived at Gegesuo, several other princes, Fujin, had already arrived.
Jiu Gege had already put on a full set of wedding clothes, and the makeup on her face was also done up. She looked like a white porcelain doll.
The other three wedding wives also arrived, all dressed up like Shu Shu, and they looked like four big red envelopes side by side.
Prince Jian Fujin, who knew Shu Shu well, took Shu Shu's hand and said with a smile: "Come on, I will also be blessed by our Jiu Fujin."
Shu Shu said honestly and obediently: "You're welcome..."
From the natal side, this is Shu Shu's cousin-in-law; from the royal side, she is the clan aunt.
Prince Jian Fujin smiled and said: "I was the one who gave it to you when you got married. This time it's our turn to give it to you together..."
The remaining two ladies of the Duke's palace and the Mongolian prince Fujin were not familiar with the palace and were a little cautious.
Prince Jian Fujin had an exquisite temperament. When he saw this, he said to Shu Shu: "We, the two of us, are not outsiders. We will talk later. I will greet them first."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Then go and do your work."
When Prince Jian Fujin left, Shi Fujin whispered: "Is Prince Jian Fujin really a Mongolian? I have never seen a Mongolian who can speak so well..."
Shu Shu said: "Prince Jian Fujin is a blessed person in the clan. He has three sons and four daughters. He is living a happy life and has a more outgoing temperament..."
Therefore, even if the parents-in-law are gone, Prince Jian and Fujin are still here, and he is still one of the best candidates in the clan to marry and send off his wife.
After all the busy work, it was time for Youchu.
The light rain that had been falling all day finally stopped.
The prince and his elder brothers also arrived.
The five wedding sedans arrived at the door of the princesses' house.
The fourth elder brother was wearing a red robe, and frost could be scraped off his face.
Shu Shu followed Prince Jian Fujin and acted with Prince Jian Fujin.
Jiu Gege was sitting on a chair, with her head covered and her feet stepping on the red carpet, not touching the ground.
Fourth brother stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiaojiu, fourth brother will send you out..."
