Xianglan said: "My empress's days of happiness are still to come..."
The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now.
Xianglan could immediately notice the difference since Jiu Age took over as the acting head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It should be said that before, no one in the Ministry of Internal Affairs dared to treat the empress lightly.
But it's still different.
Two days after returning to the palace, the difference became even more obvious.
Even the serving women and eunuchs in Yikun Palace were walking with wind on their feet.
It is true that the Crown Princess is in charge of the palace, but my brother is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
That's a lot of power.
Among the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, besides the emperor, is this elder brother.
Yi Fei shook her head and said: "How can running a house be so simple? Besides, there are so many things to watch inside and outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who can satisfy everyone? The more you do, the more you do it well, the more you do it, the more you can't turn around and get scolded.
more……"
But that's all she said, without any intention of persuading her son to give up power.
The fifth elder brother was raised by the Queen Mother, his status was elevated, and he was given the title "noble", so he was destined to have no real power.
Previously, Concubine Yi had thought that it would be good for Jiu Age to be a laid-back prince who would not get into trouble.
He seems restless now. Instead of letting him out and running around, he might as well be detained in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Not only did he gain real power, but he was also under the emperor's nose.
From now on, the three of them, mother and son, will be able to speak more forcefully.
She remembered that her younger daughter-in-law had mentioned the matter of the two missing mothers, so she discussed it with Xianglan.
"Not only are the two houses short of people, Baylor Mansion also needs experienced people to control it... The prince lowered his flag and took his coat with him. Those people have eyes on their foreheads, and they are all arrogant. The five blessings are young.
, I’m afraid I can’t hold it back..."
Xianglan hesitated for a moment and said: "My dear, if the people here in the Second Institute are better, it would be decent to serve in the palace... If a nun has a family, she will definitely not like to work outside..."
Lord Baylor has entered the flag, which is to say, the five flags have been lowered.
Baoyi went to Baylor Mansion on a temporary errand, but he didn't have much of a future.
If the whole family went there, no one would be happy.
On the other hand, on the Second Institute side, the Ninth Prince has not yet joined the banner and is acting as an agent in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is a hot spot.
If you serve well, you may even have a good future for your children and nephews.
These reasons are all superficial. The fundamental reason is that the emperor and the queen mother will not be happy for Concubine Yi to interfere in the affairs of Baylor House.
Concubine Yi smiled bitterly.
She wants to be impartial.
But it cannot be impartial.
She lost interest and told Xianglan: "Forget it, forget it, forget it outside... Go out during your vacation and see your Aunt Chunlai and Aunt Chunxi and see how they are doing. If life goes well, your children will be happy."
To be filial, just ask if you want to join the palace as a servant for a few years... If life is not going well and your life is difficult, just leave a purse and take it into consideration..."
Xianglan asked puzzledly: "My Lady, shouldn't I choose someone with less worries to serve as an errand in the palace?"
When spring comes, Chunxi is the eldest maid of Concubine Yifei’s childhood, and she has been released for many years.
Xianglan was still a little palace maid at that time and learned the rules from her two aunts.
Concubine Yi said: "If you have a harmonious family and a lot of worries outside, you will act in a measured manner. On the contrary, you are a lonely person, and your character cannot be biased..."
Even if it was used around me in the early years, it would take more than ten years before it was released.
Who knows what your xinxing is now?
Since she was helping her daughter-in-law choose someone, Concubine Yi naturally had to choose a suitable one.
Xianglan nodded and kept it in mind.
*
The second one is here.
Shu Shu finished giving away the housewarming gifts and was in the mood to sort out the gifts from her parents' side.
Needless to say, there are several elders.
Excellent leather.
Fifty years of ginseng.
You need to prepare several copies, two for your family, one for your parents, and one for your uncles and aunts.
Three servings outside.
A portion for my aunt.
One share for the uncle of the government.
One share for the elders in the second room.
The rest are just ordinary people.
Cousin, five younger brothers.
Cousin, cousin.
Cousin from Prince Kang's Mansion.
The cousin of Mingzhu Mansion.
The elder brother in the second room.
My uncle's cousin.
And the waiter’s fiancée.
Shu Shu made the list and started subtracting.
There was no other way, because it was a housewarming gift, and most of the twenty-odd cars of leather were gone, and there was not enough leather left.
Let the elders come first.
When she was a younger generation, she only kept her cousins, younger brothers, cousins, and cousins-in-law. These were all family members, and the rest would be celebrated later.
It was the cousin of Prince Kang's Mansion and the cousin of Mingzhu Mansion. Shu Shu hesitated for a moment.
They've all been crossed out too.
Favors come and go over time.
But the house deeds and land deeds of the old princess...
Shu Shu felt that after waiting for a while, she still had to go back by herself.
These house deeds and land deeds are the old princess's apology.
The object of her apology was Shu Shu's grandmother.
My grandmother died of illness many years ago, so Ama and my uncle should have decided how to distribute these things.
As for the old grievances mentioned by the great-aunt in Horqin Taiji Mansion, I have to talk to Enie about this.
We also have to be on guard against any time the Guo Luoluo family settles an old score.
Thinking that she had been away for four months, and that she and Ama had not seen each other for a few days, the elders must be thinking about her, so she called for walnuts.
"Go for a walk with grandma tomorrow. Go home and meet me, Eni and Ah Mou, and talk about what you have seen and heard in the past few months..."
Because Xiaochun stayed behind, Walnut became the general manager around Shushu in the past few months, serving closely and knowing many and detailed things.
Walnut responded, hesitating for a moment and said: "Fu Jin, your Majesty is in a happy mood, and the imperial doctor has asked you to eat blood swallows. Madam, would you like to prepare a few boxes of bird's nests to take back..."
There is really no shortage of bird's nests in their warehouse.
There were gifts from the Queen Mother, gifts from Concubine Yi, and "birthday gifts" from officials of various departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When Shu Shu heard this, she remembered that among the birthday gifts she received, there were donkey-hide gelatin and sea cucumbers.
They are also nourishing.
Available for pregnant women.
She said: "Find out the donkey-hide gelatin and sea cucumbers, and go to the Imperial Hospital to check with Dr. Yin to see how the quality is..."
These two medicinal effects are both recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica", and Shu Shu is familiar with them.
Mainly because she thinks too much.
I always feel that it is better to be cautious about what you enter.
Just as he was talking, Brother Jiu opened the curtain and came in.
"Okay, why are you checking in at the Tai Hospital? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Brother Jiu was confused when he was concerned. After listening to half of a sentence, he looked at Shu Shulai.
Shu Shu smiled, waved her hand and sent the walnuts down, then said: "Okay, I just remembered the birthday gift I received when I was in Shengjing, including donkey hide gelatin and sea cucumber, which are also beneficial to pregnant women. I sent the walnuts and asked about the quality and how to eat them. of……"
Brother Jiu felt relieved and sat beside the kang, proudly talking about his achievements in Qianqing Palace this time.
Khan Amma agreed.
Zhang Baozhu was promoted to the title of Doctor of the Internal Affairs Bureau. He was no longer a seventh-grade doctor of the Internal Affairs Bureau, but a professor of the fifth rank.
Although the grade is still not high, it sounds more respectable than before.
Shu Shu showed joy.
She is very supportive of being able to help the fifth elder brother and Wu Fujin within her own ability.
But the joy was joy, and she also became alert.
This is power.
An official of the seventh rank can be promoted to a doctor of the fifth rank casually.
She couldn't help but worry.
If Ninth Brother sets a precedent here, he will be targeted by others.
Who doesn’t have a few relatives and friends?
But in that case, should Brother Jiu respond or should he not?
Especially there is a brother who is famous for his popularity.
What if the eighth prince opens his mouth?
Shu Shu didn't want the Ministry of Internal Affairs to become a place for this wise brother to sell favors.
It will be Brother Jiu who will clean up the mess at that time.
His rights as a general manager will also be usurped and exploited.
Shu Shu thought about it and said: "Sir, it's not good to talk about this matter to the outside world. It's best to blame it all on the emperor. It's better to just treat it as the emperor's heartache for fifth brother and give him grace..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "It's not something shameful, so why can't you say it?"
Shu Shu said: "Let me think about it, when the fifth brother supplemented me, did the world talk about it?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Isn't this different..."
"Why is it different..."
Shu Shu said softly: "Fifth brother cares about my face and is afraid that others will say anything, so he compensates me again and again without mentioning it to anyone... If I say it all over the world, my kindness is good, but it is also flattering. It seems like Fifth Brother didn’t care about the Yue family before…”
Brother Jiu looked at her and hummed softly: "Why do you think your theory is a bit crooked? From now on, when doing relationships, you have to be secretive and don't take any credit..."
Shu Shu held his hand and said: "I have worked so hard for the sake of Fifth Brother's dignity, not for any merit..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You're right. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bother to worry about it..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Yes, I do my best to do my job, but it's not like I have become a real butler. I can give orders to anyone... Anyway, my identity is here, and I don't act arrogantly just by giving random orders." Yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not deploy personnel again..."
Brother Jiu nodded: "That's natural. Mr. Zhang's ability to rise in tone is the grace of Khan Amma, and it's also because of his status as the prince's father-in-law. It's a special case... If someone else wants to come over, I'll ask him, where's his face? That's right.
The prince’s father-in-law…”
Shu Shu smiled.
"Before, I was worried that this would set a precedent. The seven aunts and eight aunts outside would be targeting me. When the time comes to ask for help from me, would I agree or not? I think so, and it couldn't be better..."
So the road to Eighth Prince's side should be blocked.
Brother Jiu thought that Shu Shu was talking about the Guo Luoluo family, so he hummed: "You are not satisfied with being the fourth-grade chief of ceremonies, and you want something else? Don't forget that a few months ago, Gui Dan just made up for the third-grade bodyguard.
, it goes on and on again and again, right? If you piss me off later, I'll jerk you off..."
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shu Shu did not explain, but cooperated and said: "There is also the Jin family. How can a family that is so capable of exploiting the camp give up on such a golden thigh..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but take it seriously after hearing this.
He thought for a while and whispered: "How about I find someone to keep an eye on Zhaoxiang's office and think of a way to get rid of the Jin family girl... Although Old Fourteen has made some money, he is still my little brother.
Such a girl from a shady family is left next to him, and then she is kidnapped and spoiled..."
Shu Shu didn't speak immediately.
She thought of Soetu.
Behind the Jin family, there is a high probability that it is the Hesheli family.
In that case, this girl from the Jin family first stared at the Qianxi Second Institute, and then went to the Zhaoxiang Institute. She was just simply climbing up the dragon and clinging to the phoenix, or did she have other intentions?
She thought for a moment and then dissuaded her: "It is better to be still than to move. Zhaoxiang is being watched by the Empress of Yanxi Palace. It is better not to move lightly, so as not to cause misunderstanding... They will move to Brother's place when the time comes."
Besides..."
Brother Jiu nodded, looking a little solemn.
Four...
There's always a new owner...
If there is no Fourteenth Brother, there will be others...
*
Beicheng, Babeile Mansion.
Bafujin looked at the gift list from Brother Jiu and his wife.
All leather, nothing else.
There were quite a few, enough for two cars.
There was contempt on her face as she muttered to the nanny.
"Isn't it said that the dowry is rich? He is really a smooth-faced person. Did he go to Mongolia to scrape the land? He lost his life and brought back many carriages and leather? He can borrow flowers to offer to Buddha..."
While I was talking, my eighth brother came back from his trip.
Knowing that the Second Institute had sent people to give housewarming gifts, he took the gift list and looked at it. He smiled and said to Bafujin: "They are all good leather. Don't you want to make a new coat? These rolls of sable fur are just right..."
Ba Fujin said with a half-smile but not a smile: "This is my good brother. He can do whatever he wants, but I'm not picky..."
Brother Ba frowned and said: "These are all usable things. It's hard to buy them in Beijing now, and even if you buy them, it's hard to find them in such good quality..."
Bafujin snorted coldly: "Anyway, I don't believe it. The housewarming ceremony of Wubeile Mansion only includes these two cars of leather..."
The eighth prince was silent.
He saw that Jiu Fujin behaved with thorough etiquette and was well versed in the ways of the world.
When she was preparing for the housewarming ceremony, she naturally would not prepare Wubeile Mansion in the same way as other mansions.
In that case, I will offend my mother-in-law.
Ba Fujin just thought that Ba Age agreed with his words, sighed, and said: "Anyway, I have to know better, don't let others say a few nice words and then let it go... That person is the biological brother of the same mother.
, I can’t compare here, and there is no need to compare..."
