Chapter 1,269 Master Cao is stingy (monthly ticket)
Ba Fujin said he was "going through the motions", but he really wasn't Hu Nong Ba's brother.
On the 15th day of the lunar month, my elder brother’s birthday was on the first and fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and on the 100th day of the twelfth lunar month, Babeizi Mansion followed the trend and prepared gifts.
Although Ba Fujin still didn't show up, his sisters-in-law also knew the reason, but no one found fault.
In addition, no one is friendly with her, she can't come out, and she won't have much influence on others.
After all, Wubeile Mansion was different. Shu Shu and Jiu A Ge didn't really treat themselves as guests, so they got up early and went there in advance.
The two of them went directly to the main courtyard.
The protagonist of today's 100-day banquet is wearing a red robe and is turning over on the kang.
The little brother, Xiao Fu, has almond-shaped eyes, looks pitiful and cute, and looks like a smaller Akdan.
It's just that unlike Akdan's picky one, the little brother has a quiet and well-behaved temperament, and is not picky. He is a child who loves to laugh, and his temper is like Fengsheng's.
Brother Jiu immediately picked him up and said, "I also want to take my nephew's home. He looks really like Akdan."
This is his direct nephew, not someone else's child. Brother Jiu feels that he also understands what "loving the house and the bird" means. He looks very cute and is only a little bit worse than Fengsheng and the others.
The fifth elder brother laughed and said: "They all look like empresses..."
Shu Shu was by the side and said to Wu Fujin: "When we go to the garden next year, the Imperial Grandmother and the Empress will be able to see their grandson. They will be very happy..."
Wu Fujin's eyes fell on the little brother, and he nodded: "I should have taken him to express gratitude a long time ago. The imperial grandmother and the empress have rewarded me several times."
Since the little brother arrived in August, Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace have rewarded him several times. Even the nanny beside the little brother was arranged by Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother was thinking about her great-grandson, and Wu Fujin and Fifth Brother also wanted to take the child there as soon as possible, but they couldn't do it arbitrarily.
This is the difference between being in the palace and outside the palace.
Although they are grandparents, no one can bring children into the palace without an imperial decree.
After a while, the guests came one after another.
Shu Shu accompanied Wufu Jin to welcome and accompany the guests.
The younger elder brother is the legitimate son of the fifth elder brother, and if he survives, he will be the heir of this branch. Therefore, in addition to the brothers, the Hundred Days Banquet also invited Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong, and the clan with white flags.
The clansmen with white flags are basically the descendants of Prince Suwu Hauge. Currently, there is a prince's palace, a Baylor palace, and several princely palaces.
As the grandson of the emperor, his family was also a guest.
As for Guoluoluo's family, no girls came here because Guidan's Enekin was still ill.
He fell seriously ill in early October and it took two months. The fifth elder brother had already sent the imperial doctor to see him, but he was just struggling to survive.
In addition to these people, several princes of Horqin, Taiji, who were on duty in the inner hall, and who were familiar with the fifth elder brother, also received the post.
There were outsiders, as well as two elders, Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin, so the sisters-in-law were quiet and listened to everyone's gossip.
When the girls get together, their favorite thing to talk about is that a man should marry a woman.
At this time, everyone is talking about the draft next spring.
Girls waiting for the draft from other places have arrived in Beijing one after another.
After the New Year, the draft will begin.
The fourth elder brother of Prince Yu and the fifth elder brother of Prince Gong have both grown up and are waiting for marriage in the palace.
The most popular candidates among this year's show girls are Fucha, the daughter of the great scholar Ma Qi, Zhaojia, the daughter of Ma Han, the minister of the Ministry of War, Wusu, the daughter of Zhu Duna, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Tong Jia, the daughter of the champion envoy Yingshu.
The surname is Zhang Jia, the daughter of Commander-in-Chief Zhang Haoshang.
These few princesses who came from decent backgrounds were all pushed around by others.
As for the girls in the second room of the Dong E family, although they are favored by San Fujin and Jiu Fujin, their fathers and ancestors are from ordinary backgrounds. Even if they are married into the clan, they are from the distant branch with low titles. No one will expose San Fujin and Shu Shu in front of them.
Let’s talk specifically about the noodles.
As for the prince Princess, according to the previous rules, she was selected from among the beautiful girls in the coat, not from the beautiful girls under the Eight Banners.
Qi Fujin was sitting above Shu Shu. Seeing everyone gossiping in twos and threes, he also gossiped with Shu Shu: "In addition to the three princes, there is also a prince and a county prince who want to choose Fujin..."
Shu Shu listened and thought of Prince Kang's Mansion.
Prince Kang is what Qi Fujin calls "a prince". As for the county prince, he is not someone else. He is Madame Bo's nephew, the current Prince Shuncheng.
The female Juan who can deal with them in the future are the three princes Fujin, the two princes, the county prince Fujin, and the two elder brothers Fujin who support the royal family.
Shu Shu knew the candidates for the eldest elder brother's successor, the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother. Among the two remaining high-status ones, one of them would be the future cousin-in-law.
It should be the Wusu family, because Juduna is the one with the red flag.
Marriage within a banner is also a common practice among banner owners.
"The Princess of the Zhang family is the oldest, but is her status too low?" Qi Fujin continued.
This is about the candidate of the Prince of Zhijun to succeed the Jin Dynasty.
At that time, not only will the county prince succeed Fujin, but she will also be the eldest sister-in-law of all the princes Fujin, who will have to deal with her in the future.
Shu Shu said: "Fucha Gege has a high status, but he is young. He is only fourteen this year."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "That's right, I'm too young, so it's not suitable."
Da Gege of Zhijun Prince is thirteen years old, only one year older than Fucha Gege.
If Fucha Gege really wants to be the stepmother, there is no way she can raise several stepchildren.
Qi Fujin thought about the dignity of the Thirteenth Brother in the past few years, and followed Hu San or four times every year, and whispered: "Most of them refer to the Thirteenth Brother, but I don't know that the Eighth Master and the Thirteenth Brother are other brothers."
How will we get along with my brother-in-law in the future..."
Shu Shu didn't answer, thinking about Brother Twelve.
Fuchagege is the future Twelve Fortunes.
Given the reticent habit of the twelfth prince, he would probably remain the same as before and would not pay attention to the eighth prince.
Fortunately, the twelfth prince's biological mother, the noble Wan Liuha, now lives with her in the Changchun Palace, and the main position is a good concubine.
The ninth elder brother once mentioned that the eighth elder brother had shown affection to the twelfth elder brother, but the twelfth elder brother did not respond.
After finishing the 100-day wine at Wubeile Mansion, Shu Shu asked Bai Guo to prepare a birthday gift for the twelfth prince.
The twelfth prince’s birthday is on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Here at the Prince's Mansion, a new set of clothes, longevity peaches, longevity noodles, and four pairs of purses were prepared.
Make up four gifts.
When the first fifteen brothers celebrated their birthdays, they received similar gifts, namely longevity peaches, but the weight of longevity noodles was reduced, and the weight of the gold ingots in the purse was also different.
The fifteenth elder brother is the younger elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother is already Cheng Ding’s elder brother, and is still working under the ninth elder brother.
Others don't know it, but Shu Shu knows it. Brother Twelve has suffered a lot in the past year.
So the birthday gift she asked people to prepare was very practical.
The two pairs of purses contained a pair of gold peace cards and a pair of gold peace buckles, and the remaining two pairs of purses contained golden melon seeds.
In this way, it is convenient to save it for yourself and reward others.
The twelfth elder brother received the gift, saw the gold in his purse, and became entangled.
These four pairs of purses add up to sixteen taels of gold, which can be converted into one hundred and sixty taels of silver.
As we enter the twelfth lunar month, it’s time to give out New Year gifts.
In addition to the marriage certificate, there is also the "three festivals and two birthdays" in the officialdom.
The twelfth elder brother was thinking about how he would prepare for the New Year's gift of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Over the past year, he has been eating and drinking everywhere, and he is not the type to take advantage.
But he couldn't decide how to send it.
He was the only one walking around in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he had no one to refer to.
He asked Aunt Suma privately.
Grandma Su Ma is eighty-nine years old, but she is neither deaf nor blind, and she looks energetic.
After listening to the words of the twelfth elder brother, she shook her head and said: "Someone else is giving gifts to Shangguan. You don't have to follow him. He is his real brother. When a few younger elders 'grab Zhou' in February, you should be well prepared."
Just be polite."
This is how the bonds between people come about.
It doesn't mean that if you collect sixteen taels of gold today, you have to pay it back tomorrow.
The twelfth prince has no brothers from the same mother, and he has no close brothers in the royal family.
Aunt Su Ma knew his temperament and did not rush him.
Now that he has a brother and sister-in-law who like to be close to each other, Grandma Su Ma also gave him some advice on how to maintain long-term relationships with relatives.
All the princes in the palace grew up under her watch.
Brother Jiu is soft-hearted, honest with others, and is a good brother.
The twelfth elder brother always listened to the teachings of Grandma Su Ma, so he nodded and said: "Then I will listen to my aunt and not prepare for the New Year's ceremony, but prepare for the 'Zhuzhou' ceremony next year..."

Ninth Prince's Mansion, main room.
In addition to Ginkgo, there is also Xiaosong beside Shu Shu.
Shangfang also added two girls, one named Shuangyue and the other Twelfth Moon, but for now they can only help Gingguo.
Xiaosong was arrested and brought to keep accounts.
One is a booklet for receiving gifts, and the other is a booklet for giving gifts.
Among the three festivals and two birthdays in the officialdom, annual rituals are by default the most important.
The same applies to relatives, and the annual rituals are heavier than other festivals.
The gifts given by various ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are similar to those of last year, and there are no obvious changes.
Among Cao Yin's annual gifts made by Jiangning, in addition to various Ning silks, satins and silver seals, there were also four children's toys from Jiangnan and four pieces of Songjiang fine cloth.
This looks more thoughtful than last year.
Shu Shu asked Ging Guo to count the items and put them into the warehouse, and then asked Xiao Song to write this down.
There wasn't much, but it showed closeness and goodwill.
When Brother Nine came back, Shu Shu showed him this and said, "Is it because of Cao Shun? Or is it because of Cao Gege?"
Cao Shun is currently the third-class bodyguard of the prince's palace. He was once Cao Yin's heir. Later, after Cao Yin got his own son, Cao Shun, the nephew, returned to the family. Now he follows the ninth elder brother and has a bright future.
As for Cao Gege, he is currently reading Fifteen Gege and raising him in the palace.
Life in the palace is good or bad, it's the same if someone takes care of you and no one takes care of you.
Brother Ninth, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is now in charge.
Brother Jiu looked at the extra items and curled his lips and said, "Master Cao is a bit stingy..."
Shu Shu said: "It's good that it's not eye-catching, but if there are too many, it will be hot for me to keep."
Brother Jiu took out a gift list from his sleeve, handed it to Shu Shu and said: "Look, what is this, take good care of it..."
It turns out that Ji Hong, the son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, came to Beijing and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs today. This is the New Year's gift list presented to Brother Ninth...
