"Hahahaha, the expression on Old Fourteen's face is even uglier than if he were crying..."
In the west wing of Jiu Beile Mansion, Brother Jiu, who had returned from Haidian, was sitting at the door of the north room, telling Shu Shu about today's news.
"On the other hand, Fifth Brother, I thought he would feel uncomfortable going to the Criminal Department, but he seems to be in good spirits. Fifth Brother said that if he can't read the file, he will take two people to read it..."
Shu Shu listened with a smile and said: "Brother Fourteen, this is not unexpected."
It's not difficult to guess the fifth elder brother.
There are currently three older princes in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Rites. Unless someone is transferred, the fifth elder brother will not be assigned.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs does not arrange for princes to listen to government affairs.
The Ministry of Industry was the fifth elder brother's rotation two years before he went to the Lifan Yuan, so the Ministry of Punishments was left.
Brother Ninth said proudly: "How good. Now that Fourth Brother has seen how naughty Old Fourteen is, he will know that I am good."
Shu Shu smiled and nodded, saying: "I'm always good..."
The "Ba Ye Party" has ceased to exist.
really not bad.
The ninth elder brother not only dislikes the eighth elder brother, but also dislikes the fourteenth elder brother.
By then, no matter how thoughtful Brother Fourteen is, there will be no one to play with him.
It is a good thing for the ninth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.
Not only Brother Jiu thought this was funny, but so did everyone else.
The next day is the official day of Shangyuan Festival.
There is a second feudal banquet in Haidian.
Before Brother Nine went out, he went to the main courtyard and said to Shu Shu: "I told Cao Shun to take someone to pick up my mother-in-law after lunch."
He had a banquet here, and after the banquet he had to accompany everyone to send the Holy Emperor back to the city. He had no time to go to the Dutong Mansion.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, well, that's enough. Enie won't pick any gifts..."
When Brother Nine left, Shu Shu called Zhou Song over.
Brother Ninth will leave Beijing with his troops tomorrow and will have to pack his luggage today.
"Four Seasons Clothes prepared twelve boxes. Following Fujin's instructions, they took six boxes with them and sent the other six boxes to Tongzhou. There were two sets of luggage and bedding, one set was sent to Tongzhou, and sixteen boxes of various daily necessities and food, half of which were also sent to Tongzhou.
Haidian…”
Although it is the spring season now, it is still freezing cold in the north, so we wear end caps every day.
When I passed Shandong and headed south of the Yangtze River, it was the second month of spring and I needed to change into spring clothes.
Shu Shu listened, her emotions were in order, so she didn't worry about the others and said: "Forget the others, I need to bring more complete medicines."
When traveling far away at this time of season, what Shu Shu worried about the most was Brother Jiu's health.
The prince was ill and had to stay on the road to recuperate, and of course everyone else was no exception.
Brother Ninth is very cowardly, so he really has to stay on the road to recuperate from illness, which is really pitiful when he thinks about it.
Zhou Song wrote it down carefully.
Shu Shu had traveled a few times and had also walked through this part of the southern tour. He thought about it carefully and said, "I took five hundred taels of silver from my account and took it with me, and two thousand more invoices. Is there anything I need on the way?"
Just buy everywhere; when you go south, the weather will be hot, so eat less pickled vegetables. When the official ship is anchored along the way, send people to buy fresh vegetables. I have a small appetite. If I don't eat well, my body will not be able to bear it."
Zhou Song agreed and went down to continue packing his luggage.
Bai Guo came over with a blushing face and said: "Fu Jin, my eldest servant wants to take half a day off..."
The eldest child is on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, a double day.
Seeing her like this, Shu Shu didn't understand. She smiled and said, "Is this the new son-in-law coming to visit?"
Bai Guo smiled and nodded and said, "Thanks to Fu Jin, my horoscope has improved."
Shu Shu looked at the way she stole the lamp oil, and knew that she was extremely satisfied with the marriage, and she was in a good mood, saying: "I heard that I have arranged for Gui Yuan to go to Yunnan in February, and he will go back and forth every time.
It’s going to be half a year…”
Originally, Brother Jiu planned to let Guiyuan leave early and return early.
But thinking that Cao Shun was away, Gui Dan was uneasy, so he asked Gui Yuan to leave in mid-February.
At that time, Shu Shu was out of confinement, and it was easier to handle housework.
Bai Guo said: "Master Gui is so lucky to be able to go out and see the world again..."
Mentioning this matter, Bai Guo thought of the rumors outside, glanced at the door, and then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that there are two families who followed Mr. Gui south. People say that the uncle of the Xing family is returning to Beijing."
Seeing her reaction like this, Shu Shu couldn't help but frowned and said, "Is someone chewing the Xing family's tongue?"
Bai Guo nodded and said: "I just heard it yesterday, saying it was a replacement, greedy for ink or something like that."
Xing Hai, the boss of the Xing family, is Xiao Chun's eldest uncle and Shu Shu's roommate. It involves Shu Shu's dignity. Bai Guo heard about it yesterday and asked a few more questions.
Shu Shu knew that this was just a wild guess made by outsiders.
However, it can also be seen that the Xing family's good life has attracted people's jealousy.
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "I'm not greedy, and I won't replace it. It's just that the tea trees have been planted for a few years, and the output is about to increase. We need manpower there, and when the time comes, we will allocate manpower to Guangzhou."
Bai Guo listened and understood what Shu Shu meant.
These words were meant for her to hear, not just for her.
This is to use her mouth to break the rumors outside.
After Shu Shu said this, she ordered Bai Guo to call Xiao Chun.
When Xiao Chun came in, Shu Shu scolded: "You are serious, I and I really want to deal with Xing Hai, how can we get past you? Someone is fabricating lies outside, and you don't know how to tell me..."
??????????.??????
Xiaochun said: "They can make up flowers even if there is no shadow. The servant just thinks it's ridiculous. I'm just thinking about telling Fujin today."
Compared with the Baoyi of Baylor Mansion, the Xing family is just a household member.
However, because she is Fujin's companion, it can be said that she has ascended to heaven.
The eldest son of the Xing family is the external steward, helping Brother Jiu guard the tea mountain.
The second eldest son of the Xing family was originally a guard, and he supplemented the rank of third-class bodyguard.
The third son of the Xing family is now working as an apprentice in the accounting office.
The old couple of the Xing family, one is in charge of the greenhouse and the other is in charge of going out, which is also a very honorable job.
Shu Shu said: "I asked you to pick the person. Firstly, there is indeed a shortage of manpower there, and secondly, I am afraid that there will be disadvantages over time."
Xiaochun grew up with Shushu and is also proficient in accounting.
She didn't speak in a hurry. She looked at Bai Guo and said, "Only the nanny is in the south room. Could you please sister go there for me for a while?"
Bai Guo looked at Shu Shu and when she nodded, she picked up the curtain and went out.
Xiaochun lowered her voice and said, "Our old lady almost got seriously ill during the twelfth lunar month..."
Shu Shu blinked.
Aunt Xing is about the same age as Madam Uncle, and is also over fifty.
It's just that Aunt Xing didn't complain about her illness. Of course the hostess Shu Shu knew it.
During the twelfth lunar month, when people send New Year's gifts to various places, there are many people who have Nanny Xing come forward.
"Is this because you don't trust Xing Hai, or is it because of what Xing Hai said in the letter?"
Shu Shu asked directly.
Xiaochun said: "This year's New Year's gift, there is tea from the south. The quantity is not small. We old ladies are worried. We are afraid that as time goes by, there will be something wrong with the uncle and his sister-in-law, and they will try to take advantage of their illness.
When they were transferred back, they were stopped by our old man. Our old man said that my uncle went to open up wasteland. Now that it has been three years, the tea mountain has seen profits. The master should have follow-up arrangements. Let the old lady wait and see."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Both of us are sensible people, so you can live a more relaxed life."
Although the Xing family and his wife are both smart people, Xing Hai and his wife seemed to be honest in the past.
But Shushu does not test human nature.
The income from Chashan is increasing year by year, and it is thousands of miles away from the capital. As long as you use some thought, you can hide it and make a lot of money.
In the beginning, you may be timid or just be honest, but you may be more courageous if no one is watching you for a long time.
This is also to prevent problems before they happen.
However, the couple traveled thousands of miles, separated from each other, to work in remote and remote places. Shu Shu and Jiu Age also remembered the credit and hard work.
Xing Hai's son is Fengsheng's candidate for Haha Pearl.
As for Xiaochun's son and adopted son, they are younger than the triplets and still need someone to take care of them. They cannot be companions for the little brothers for the time being...

Haidian, North Garden.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
This time it was the third elder brother who laughed.
He found out that the fourteenth elder brother was going to the household department for a walk, and couldn't help but gloat about his misfortune. He said to the fourth elder brother: "Khan Ama is so devoted to his son that he placed the fourteenth elder brother in the household ministry. It's a rare opportunity."
, just in time to cultivate brotherhood!"
The fourth elder brother was born in the seventeenth year of Kangxi's reign, and the fourteenth elder brother was born in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign. The two brothers are ten years apart.
The year the fourteenth elder brother entered the study, the fourth elder brother happened to leave the study.
When the fourteenth elder brother moved to his residence, the fourth elder brother had already left the palace.
Although the two brothers are identical brothers, they really don't have many opportunities to get along with each other.
The fourth elder brother looked at the third elder brother and didn't like hearing this. He said with a bit of irritation: "The Yamen is the place where the errands are..."
The third elder brother snorted softly and said: "It's a place where I work, and it's also a place to eat and drink. Don't think I don't know. You two didn't waste time eating and drinking when Lao Jiu was in the household department for more than half a year."
Fourth elder brother said: "..."
The eldest brother was standing by, thinking about the temper of the fourteenth elder brother, and looked at the fourth elder brother and said: "Take care of him when you need to. Khan Ama assigned him to the household department just for you to train him."
Brother Si nodded and said, "He's grown up, I won't spoil him anymore."
Isn’t it right for an elder brother to discipline his younger brother?
Before, Brother Fourteen relied on small businesses, but now that he has grown up, that trick no longer works...
The fourteenth elder brother was pulling the eighth elder brother and complained in a low voice, saying: "What are you really afraid of? Did Khan Ama do it on purpose? He knew that I was not good with the fourth brother, so he placed me there..."
The eighth elder brother said: "This is because Khan Ama feels sorry for you. It is better to have fourth brother to lead you than to have a black eye."
The fourteenth elder brother listened and felt proud again, saying: "Do I need him to lead me? He keeps chattering all day long, showing off his age."
Brother Thirteen was secretly happy.
As far as Brother Fourteen is concerned, who can rest assured?
Although Khan Amma was a strict father, he was very considerate and considerate towards his son.
If the Fourteenth Brother is not assigned to the Household Department this time, he will probably be assigned to the Punishment Department.
I and the fourteenth elder brother are next to each other in age. In front of the fourteenth elder brother, he has the reputation of an elder brother, but does not have the dignity of an elder brother. When the time comes, it will really not be taken lightly, not seriously...
