Brother Jiu calculated the time in his mind and found that it was almost time to arrive.
He nodded and said: "I'll ask the Lifanyuan and Zongren Mansion tomorrow..."
If someone comes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also start preparing for the "first wedding ceremony."
He is responsible for hosting this, which makes it much more convenient.
After hearing this, Shu Shu smiled and said: "There is a concubine in the palace. Anyone coming over there must pass a sign to the palace to pay their respects to the queen mother and the concubine..."
At that time, Abahai Gege will definitely be brought into the palace.
Brother Ten nodded and felt no longer sleepy.
He looked at Shu Shu with a rare shyness: "Then when they enter the palace, Sister-in-law Ninth will help them take a good look..."
Shu Shu suppressed a smile and said: "The Queen Mother is the most considerate and kind. When that time comes, she will definitely send you to Ningshou Palace..."
It not only provides opportunities for unmarried couples to meet each other, but also provides opportunities for Abahai’s elders to see their tenth elder brother.
Fortunately, Brother Ten has successfully passed the period of voice change, and after being with him for a few months, he looks a bit stronger and no longer looks like the thin-legged young man with a weak voice.
Otherwise, it would really be a bit embarrassing.
The tenth prince nodded, with the corners of his mouth raised in anticipation.
When the ninth elder brother saw him, he had to remind him: "The wedding date is either February or March. Only these three or four months are left. Don't make any eldest son at this time... When the time comes, my brothers and sisters will have no shame to say anything.
It will be troublesome in the future..."
Three or four months is not enough to have a baby, but it is enough to get pregnant.
Taking advantage of the lessons learned from the fifth and seventh elder brothers, the ninth elder brother doesn’t like that the tenth elder’s place is also in a mess.
Don't look at the Northern Expedition, it seems that the two couples have become harmonious and harmonious, but the eldest son of the concubine is standing still.
Now that it has become a clan, it is even more difficult to say.
Looking back at when the eldest son’s biological mother asked for the title of side wife, it would be different.
In the future, there will be disputes over the inheritance of this title.
I am still looking forward to the legitimate son of my tenth brother, so don't delay it with all this mess.
Shu Shu was standing by and found that the two brothers had forgotten one thing while they were talking.
That's why Da Fujin is seriously ill.
If Da Fujin dies of illness, they will also have to serve Xiao Gong.
The wedding date will definitely be postponed.
Maybe they were still thinking about Dafujin getting better.
Death is still too unfamiliar to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy.
This is true even if the tenth prince has experienced it once.
The tenth elder brother hurriedly said: "Ninth brother, don't worry, my younger brother is not from Hutu..."
Shu Shu remembered that the Mongolian capital’s flag uniforms were completely different.
Even if you do as the Romans do, it will take some time.
Perhaps, I know what gift to prepare for the meeting.
There are only other things, and it's not her turn to come forward yet.
The 10th Prince is of high status, and there are not many women in the palace who can represent him.
Even if Concubine Yianyuan had been on good terms with Concubine Wen Xi for many years, she could not overstep her authority at this time.
Shu Shu, my sister-in-law, can take care of Brother Ten's food and daily life when he goes out, but she is not qualified to speak on such important matters as marriage.
"Above Heaven"
Those who are qualified to come forward are the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess.
The Queen Mother doesn't care about anything, so there is only one Crown Princess left.
Crown Princess?
Shu Shu remembered something not quite right...
Tonight, no one came out of Yuqing Palace.
The prince didn't come, the princess didn't come, and they didn't send anyone.
Shu Shu hurriedly asked: "Have you sent someone to Yuqing Palace?"
Brother Jiu asked in confusion: "Why are you sending people to Yuqing Palace?"
Shu Shu was stunned.
"Over there... I wonder if Prince Zhi is moving tonight?"
Brother Jiu said: "Maybe I know, maybe I don't know, who knows..."
Shu Shu hesitated: "But... the prince didn't show up..."
Brother Jiu said: "Ahma Khan didn't show up either... Besides, there is the East Sixth Palace between Yuqing Palace and Brother's Palace. The prince didn't know how to avoid it and crossed over in the middle of the night. What happened?"
The tenth prince was standing by and understood Shu Shu's concerns.
"Sister-in-law Ninth, don't worry. It's not Brother Ninth's negligence. The Crown Prince is the king. He is the same as Khan Amma, but unlike our brothers, he does not need to observe these customs..."
Shu Shu nodded and said nothing more.
Is it just a common courtesy?
The prince regards himself as a king, who can regard him as a brother?
Now Kangxi is not picky and thinks that "the distinction between monarch and minister" among his sons is to keep order.
But when you are critical, will you feel that the prince lacks human touch?
Now that the emperor is in power, he alienates his brothers and regards them as his servants. What will happen in the future?
At this time, it would be wrong for the prince to do something, and it would be wrong not to do it.
The prince is now being held up too high.
From the initial admiration, everyone gradually became critical...
A night of silence.
The next day, I slept comfortably until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
Brother Jiu is not here, he has already gone to the imperial court.
You don't need to ask to know that at the moment, the most important thing in Brother Ninth's heart is that he kisses his tenth brother.
Shu Shu drank seaweed and egg drop soup and ate a basket of longan buns.
The most important thing today is to prepare six housewarming gifts.
Today is November 13th, and the day after tomorrow will be the 15th.
Prince Fujin, who has moved out, has not yet decided what kind of greeting schedule he will have in the future. He should enter the palace as usual the day after tomorrow.
It's best to send this housewarming gift tomorrow.
It won't take too long, that's not good.
Fortunately, I brought back a lot of skins this time, including "birthday gifts" from various Mongolian tribes. At that time, Shu Shu felt that it was hot, so she shared the skins and went out.
But then, there were "birthday gifts" from the stewards of various places in the paddock, which I received with peace of mind.
Including what the third elder brother gave and what Sheng Jing purchased, there were about twenty cars.
Shu Shu took Xiao Chun, counted the walnuts, kept her mother's share, and divided the others into six equal parts.
However, slight adjustments were made based on the population of each family.
If there are many children like the eldest brother and the fourth brother, more ermine skins are added inside.
The skin of ermine is soft and light, so it is more suitable for making children's coats.
However, the overall value is about the same.
Xiaochun asked privately: "Fujin, does the Wubeile Mansion also send gifts like this? The empress knows, and I'm afraid she won't be happy..."
Shu Shu had already thought about it and said: "Add the white jade Guanyin and the pomegranate gem bonsai, pick a pair of vases, a pair of gold Ruyi..."
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin came in on the same day. Now that Qi Fujin is pregnant, Wu Fujin is the most worried.
Although it was only a year and a half since I actually got married, now it is calculated according to the virtual year. In another month and a half, it will be the third year.
Shu Shu sends this, which is also a good blessing.
Even if Concubine Yi asked, she would only be satisfied.
Xiaochun refused to move and prayed: "Fu Jin...then Guanyin should be replaced..."
Shu Shu glanced at her and saw that the corners of her mouth were drooped and tears were about to come out, so she knew that she was thinking too much.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep the white jade Guanyin, plus the set of red sandalwood four-season pen holders..."
Xiaochun then happily went down to prepare.
Walnut was standing by, hesitating for a moment and said: "I'm afraid Bafujin's side will be picky..."
Shu Shu sneered: "Let her choose..."
But on the other side of Sifujin and Qifuxin...
Forget it, it’s not just a one-time gift.
Over there at Qifujin, we will prepare generous supplies when the child arrives.
As for Sifujin, we will talk about it later.
Otherwise, another round will be given away.
Wait until the afternoon when Brother Nine comes back.
Shu Shu showed the prepared gift list to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu briefly looked through them and found that they were all roughly the same, but felt a little hesitant.
Shu Shu handed him another gift list: "This is for my fifth sister-in-law in my name..."
In fact, what Brother Jiu wants to say is, won’t Brother Bago add a share?
But there was something he couldn't say.
I sent my Eighth Brother away, didn’t the boss show any signs of it?
Give them all if you give them, and don't give them if you don't. If they are really divided into three, six or nine, it is not a gift, it is a slap in the face.
It seems that Shu Shu's method is actually the best.
On the surface, it's all the same etiquette, impartial.
One more copy in private.
It's also because they are brothers.
No matter how critical others are, they are still being unreasonable.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's it..."
He and his brothers, Bage, did not pay attention to these false etiquette.
It was inconvenient for Shu Shu to leave the palace, so the nanny Qi came to give gifts.
Early the next morning, Grandma Qi left the palace with people and gifts.
At noon, Grandma Qi returned to the palace, looking a little strange.
After sending the girls down, Nanny Qi whispered the reason.
It turned out that she visited six mansions in the morning, and most of them were in good order.
Needless to say, the Prince of Zhijun has long since divided the left collar of the Eight Banners and has a royal population.
Nowadays, every family arranges for people to come to the house to perform duties.
A lot of people also went to the Shangshu Mansion.
It's a similar situation here in Sanbeile.
The remaining Baylors were moved, and the left collar of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also assigned, but the left collar of the Eight Banners was not divided yet.
Most of them are wrapped with them.
But these wrappings had just been finished, and they were all unfamiliar with each other.
At this time, there is a distinction between the wife clan who is powerful and the wife clan who is not powerful.
"Sibeile's Mansion looks quite orderly. It seems that some of Sibeile's haha beads need to be used..."
"Qibele Mansion, Prince Chun Fujin sent people here, and it seems that everything has been sorted out now..."
"Babeile Mansion, I heard that all the princes from Prince An's family and Beizi were here yesterday, and there is no shortage of manpower..."
"It's the Wubeile Mansion. It's still in a mess now. There's no in-laws to help, and the women who live in clothes are a little too big..."
When Nanny Qi said this, she said: "There are still people who talk about Wufujin's Amma being in a pen-post style..."
Shu Shu listened and understood the reason.
Although Wufujin was born with a common Manchu surname, his family was from a side branch.
My grandfather was serving as governor of Shaanxi Province and was not in Beijing.
Her Amma is indeed like a six-part idle writer.
In the past few days, the prince has opened his mansion, and all the in-laws' families have come to visit. It should be difficult for him and his family to visit.
There is really a huge difference in status.
Even the father-in-law and mother-in-law have no confidence.
Nowadays, the women in Baoyi still refuse to accept the status of the Five Fortunes and Jins, and have equally divided the population of the Eight Banners. What do those ladies of Gaoming think of the Five Fortunes and Jins?
When we were in the palace, everyone was the same as the prince and prince Fujin, so it was hard to tell them apart.
Outside the palace, I'm afraid I will be compared everywhere.
When Brother Ninth came back, Shu Shu told him about the current situation of Baylor Mansion and Wu Fujin's difficulties.
Brother Jiu's face turned dark after hearing this.
"Without the help of in-laws? The Guo Luoluo family is dead?"
It turned out that before the Holy Emperor returned to Luang, the uncle of Guo Luoluo's family also set off and moved to the capital.
The eldest uncle of the Guo Luoluo family will serve as the fourth-grade chief of ceremonies of Baylor Mansion.
Only then did Shu Shu remember that she had forgotten this.
"Did you get delayed on the road and haven't arrived in Beijing yet?"
Although she had a bad impression of the Guo Luoluo family, Shu Shu still didn't think they had the guts to neglect the prince.
Especially when Ninth Prince has already expressed his dissatisfaction with them.
"Isn't there Guidan? There are also supervisors..."
Brother Ninth is still dissatisfied.
Okay?
When you are an official, I will leave a good job for you.
When your efforts are needed, you won't show up.
He was a little worried: "It won't be in Baylor Mansion, right? Fifth brother is a good-tempered man, don't let them mess with you..."
Shu Shu said: "Fifth sister-in-law is a sensible person..."
Speaking of this, she said curiously: "After Khan Amma got married, he never thought of giving the fifth sister-in-law Amma a favor..."
The daughter of Bi Tie Shi is the prince Fujin, which is not pleasant to say.
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully and said, "It seems that he gave something to Buyanu..."
Buyanu, the grandfather of Wufu Jin Dynasty and the governor of Shaanxi.
Shu Shu 囧.
Brother Ninth also noticed something was wrong: "I guess Khan Ama didn't think about the matter of Brother Five's father-in-law..."
He thought for a while and said: "It's past the time for marriage, so it's not a good time to extend the favor... On the other hand, at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, some of the service doctors under the general manager were transferred from the Sixth Department..."
Shu Shu sounded wrong when she heard this. Brother Jiu wanted to resolve this matter for himself.
She hurriedly said: "Master, the House of Internal Affairs is the Emperor's House of Internal Affairs... The fifth brother is not only the prince, but also my brother. I'm afraid I won't be happy with this... Whether it's a favor or a promotion, the emperor still has the final say... …”
There is no such thing as selling favors.
He was obviously his younger brother, but would Kangxi be happy if he took over my job?
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed true.
He stroked his forehead and said: "Yesterday I went to the Qianqing Palace to talk about the tenth ceremony of Lao Shi. I went to the Qianqing Palace again in the morning to talk about the distribution of supplies for each prefecture after the new year. I have to make another trip this afternoon... …”
When they were in the Chancery's study room before, except when the emperor was taking exams, they all stayed far away and did not approach the emperor.
Now there are more errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I feel like I have to make one or two trips a day.
Shu Shu felt very relieved after hearing this.
Boy, this is right.
This is a qualified wage earner.
Don’t be self-motivated and ask for instructions and reports at any time.
Brother Jiu mentioned Qianqing Palace and whispered to Shu Shu Bagua: "Khan Ama hasn't had a good rest in the past two days. He is reluctant to leave his son out of the palace. His eyes are dark... and he doesn't even think about how old each one is. There are a lot of grandchildren. If I don’t let him go, I will have great-grandchildren in a few years..."
Shu Shu nodded and felt that he shouldn't stay any longer.
My brother's place is too close to the Sixth Palace of the East and West, and even though there are many gates, you can't see him if he lowers his head and looks up.
In addition, there will be more little princesses and younger brothers in the future, so there will inevitably be conflicts.
According to later generations, the mention of "Prince Hao's concubine" may be a fabrication.
Perhaps there is suspicion of trying to catch people's imagination...
But nowadays, the access control in the Forbidden City is indeed not that strict.
