After the ceremony, Shu Shu received a circle of gifts, sent out a circle of gifts, and came out of Yuqing Palace.
Everyone can tell the difference. Most of the elder brothers go to the vestibule, the 10th elder brother goes down to the 14th elder brother and goes to the minister's study room, and the 15th elder brother goes back to the East and West Sixth Palace. Among them, the 15th elder brother Brother, the mother of the sixteenth elder brother lives in Yonghe Palace, which is located in the East Sixth Palace, not far from Yuqing Palace. The seventeenth elder brother is being carried back to Yikun Palace by his nanny.
Except for the youngest Shiliu Gege, the princesses lived in Zhongcui Palace with their biological mother. The others lived with the Queen Mother and headed towards Ningshou Palace.
There are differences among the several princes, Fujin. Dafujin and Sanfujin both have shoulder-to-shoulders, and the nanny is supporting them, and the palace maids follow, riding on shoulder-to-shoulders and leaving.
The remaining few people walked to the small gate of Qiandongbei Station, and everyone divided into two places.
The Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Fujins are going back here, while Shu Shu and the Eighth Fortune are left to go back to their elder brother's house on the West Road through the Imperial Garden.
Several people looked at Shu Shu with worry, but it was hard to say anything in front of Brother Ninth, and they seemed to be hesitant to speak.
When Ba Fujin saw this, he sneered, and without even saying hello to the sisters-in-law, he took the mammy and the maid away first.
Qi Fujin whispered: "Stay far away for now. She has no scruples. We can't do anything wrong..."
Shu Shu shook Qi Fujin's hand and nodded.
There are ears everywhere in the palace, whether last night or today, Qi Fujin is always on her side.
Whether it was because of childhood friendship or something else, Shu Shu appreciated it.
Si Fujin is a man of few words, and it was rare for him to speak out yesterday. He couldn't say anything in front of his brother-in-law, so he only told Shu Shu: "You have some free time, just come over and talk..."
There are many sisters-in-law, and some are speculators and some are not. Those who are not speculators are further away.
Shu Shu responded with a smile: "I take it seriously, fourth sister-in-law, don't be upset when the time comes..."
Brother Jiu looked at Ba Fujin's shadow and listened to his sisters-in-law's words, and felt irritable in his heart.
what happened?
Everyone knows that their own Fujin is different from the Eighth Fujin?
Wu Fujin looked at Brother Jiu and said sternly: "Uncle Jiu, since Aunt Jiu is your Fujin, you and your wife will both prosper and suffer, so you must take on the responsibility of a husband and protect her from being bullied!"
Brother Ninth felt uncomfortable hearing it, but the truth was true, and he also said seriously: "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Five, I'll save it for you brother!"
After saying goodbye to the three Fujins, the couple walked in the imperial garden and fell silent.
"Eighth sister-in-law bullied you yesterday?"
Brother Jiu hesitated and asked, "Isn't it possible that you were hasty and said a few unpleasant words and were misunderstood by your sisters-in-law?"
Yesterday, Brother Jiu listened to Ba Fujin's complaint and had a preconceived idea. He really thought it was Shu Shu who was being disrespectful and asked for gifts. However, seeing the reactions of several sisters-in-law today, it was obvious that Shu Shu was being bullied.
What does Bafujin want to do?
On the big day, you come to the door with a droopy face and don't say anything, but you still bully the bride?
Shu Shu did not add any exaggeration, recounted the scene in the new house last night, and sighed: "On weekdays, if I just stabbed a sentence or two, I would just tolerate it... But last night, I talked with my brother from far and near, who can recognize this?" ? She took advantage of Fifth Sister-in-law's words and pushed Fifth Sister-in-law in the head, so I could only reply... I saw that she was not completely unscrupulous when speaking, and did not dare to say anything to the Crown Princess and Dafu Jin. On the contrary, She is a little less polite to the fifth sister-in-law... How dare she treat the fifth sister-in-law like this when the fifth brother comes to protect her? The fifth sister-in-law is not at ease today and wants to tell you more. She is probably afraid that I will follow in his footsteps..."
Brother Jiu's face darkened, he felt very depressed, but he didn't know how to solve it.
After being married into the palace for a month, her temperament and temperament are all in everyone's eyes. She is most arrogant and arrogant. All her eyes are focused on her husband, and no one else can take notice of her.
Nowadays, the couple is in love with each other, and if I say anything, it will seem to sow other people's feelings.
"Where the fifth brother is, I will go and tell him tomorrow... The palace is full of snobbery. If he doesn't protect the fifth sister-in-law, who will protect the fifth sister-in-law..."
Brother Jiu was so loyal that he couldn't stand by and watch this happen, so he made a decision in the blink of an eye.
Shu Shu couldn't help but wonder, could anyone besides the Eighth Fortune Jin dare to neglect the Five Fortune Jin?
"With the double backing of the Queen Mother and the Empress, there are still people who bully Fifth Sister-in-law without opening their eyes?"
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes at her: "The fifth sister-in-law is Prince Fujin, no matter how blind a servant is, he would not dare to bully him directly... But living in this palace, there are many ways to make people worry..."
Regarding Ba Fujin, neither of them said anything more.
Brother Jiu felt that he couldn't hide his face. He felt that what he said last night was too early, but he would not lose his face and apologize.
Shu Shu, on the other hand, remembers the principle of "slow things down and things go smoothly", so that's where things go.
The couple talked and arrived at the second house.
After walking a long way all morning and coming back under the sun, both of them were dripping with sweat.
Brother Jiu went to change clothes, and Shu Shu also changed his clothes, changed into auspicious clothes and put on home-style robes; took off his flag shoes and put on soft-soled cloth shoes; took off his auspicious clothes and crown, and washed his face with water.
When Brother Ninth came back from changing his clothes, Shu Shu was already leaning on the couch, waiting for the meal to be passed to him.
There are two meals a day in the palace, breakfast in the morning and dinner in the evening.
It's still early for dinner, but there's no reason for the master to wait hungry.
The second dining room for all the princes is located in the wing room in the front yard.
After the two of them finished washing, the dining table was set.
Four plates and four bowls, four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes. The meat dishes are fat duck, roasted pork ribs, salt-fried white meat, and shredded pork. The vegetarian dishes are roasted eggplant, cabbage, stir-fried gluten, and roasted tofu.
Two snacks, one elephant-eye steamed bun and one bee cake.
One portion of soup, pork and luffa soup.
One portion of porridge, old yellow rice porridge.
Looking at the crowded dining table, there may not be many people using their chopsticks.
Instead of living in a palace, you only eat royal meals!
The prince's meals all come from the prince's dining room served by his elder brothers, and are cooked by several kitchen mothers.
Those who can be selected as errands by the Ministry of Internal Affairs naturally have some real skills, but there is also a saying that "it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
The daily routine for the prince is that people from the prince's dining room go to the imperial dining room to withdraw money.
Who would have thought that the prince's daily rations were so simple, six pounds of pork, ten ducks per month, one liter and two cans of aged rice, two pounds of white flour, six pounds of seasonal vegetables, and the only seasonings were salt, sugar, sweet sauce, and vinegar.
There are several kinds of sesame oil, as well as onion, ginger and garlic.
Now that there is a new prince, Shu Shu, and Prince Fujin, there should be some examples, but I just came in yesterday and the corresponding examples haven't come down yet, so the one I'm eating is Jiu Age's.
"The duck is for Grandma Liu, the salt-fried meat is for Cui Shuda, and the shredded pork is for Grandma and Grandma Zhou to use..."
Shu Shu saw that Brother Jiu had disgust on his face and hesitated to move his chopsticks, so he ordered Aunt Qi next to him.
Aunt Liu is the head of the eight nannies of the Ninth Prince, and Cui Xuanda is Cui Nanshan, the leading eunuch of the Second House. We met them before going out for the "meeting ceremony" this morning.
After several bowls of meat and vegetables were brought down, the rest was still hard to use chopsticks.
Fortunately, at this time, Xiaotang came in with a food box and two plates of side dishes, radish skin with sesame sauce, and cold fungus.
Shu Shu had a big appetite, and she moved a lot this morning. She only had two plates of side dishes, half a plate of steamed buns, and two bowls of old yellow rice porridge.
Manchus have the custom of eating old rice, especially yellow rice, and old rice is considered the best.
Perhaps due to special storage techniques, it does not have the musty smell of old rice, but is more sticky than new rice.
Brother Jiu seemed to be taking medicine, and he only moved his chopsticks after a while. He was simply shocked by Shu Shu's appetite.
When he put down his chopsticks, he stared at Shu Shu's belly: "You've eaten so much, and you don't feel tired?"
Shu Shu thought about Brother Jiu's appetite. There were only two small elephant-eye steamed buns, and he was also surprised: "I only eat these few bites, can I be full?"
The couple looked at each other, and Brother Jiu said: "That's how much I eat... But you eat too much, which is not a way to maintain health..."
Shu Shu almost rolled her eyes, is this still too much?
Much less than when I was at home.
Eating is a big issue, and we can't keep fooling around like this.
She thought for a while and said: "Do you have any taboos? When we go to the dining room, we will do it this way. It's not to our liking. It's hard work for the servants, and we don't like it either. In the future, we can order dishes according to the rules, and we won't eat badly."
…”
Brother Jiu shook his head: "I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything..."
Shu Shu thought "haha" in his heart, he is such a non-picky eater. When he was preparing the dishes just now, he took a bite of fried gluten. Is this called not picky about food?
You even moved two chopsticks to chop the ribs?
Since I don’t say it, I will look at the arrangements in the future and see that they won’t be any worse than the current dishes.
When the dining table was removed, Nanny Qi came in and said, "Fu Jin, my brother and his subordinates are already waiting in the yard..."
Shu Shu did not answer immediately, but looked at Brother Jiu.
Aren't there two palace ladies in the backyard?
That’s half a master, right?
Shouldn't we meet those two first?
Brother Ninth just thought that Shu Shu was timid and suggested: "They are all on errands. Except for the two of them, don't take the others too seriously... Cui Shuda was the person pointed out by Khan Ama when I moved out of the palace... Liu
In addition to being my nanny, grandma is also my nanny. She has always taken care of my daily life..."
Shu Shu nodded, knowing what was going on, and got up and followed Brother Jiu out.
The yard was full of people, estimated to be eight to ninety people.
Standing at the head were two people, a chambermaid in her forties and a nanny in her forties. These two people were Cui Nanshan and Aunt Liu, whom Brother Ninth had specially recommended.
Cui Nanshan has a fair face and no beard, and is a little thin. He bows his body and looks very respectful.
Aunt Liu has a smiling face and looks like a good-tempered Mianhe person. She showed up yesterday and gave Aunt Zhou a lot of advice inside and out. She also treated Shu Shu, the mistress, this morning.
Respectfully.
This courtyard houses all the members of the Prince Service Corps.
There are eight nannies, sewing, washing, lighting, twenty-four mothers on the stove, one skilled eunuch, six attendant eunuchs, and more than forty rough eunuchs.
Among them, the mammy and the servant girl were all selected by the women of the House of Internal Affairs, who were by his side when he landed. The Shuda eunuch and the attendant eunuch were assigned to his name at the age of six. The other rough eunuchs were responsible for this.
The errands done by my brother are not in his name.
These people do not live in the elder brother's residence, nor in the Forbidden City. Eunuchs mostly live in row houses in the imperial city, while the nuns can live in the imperial city dormitories, or they can go home on leave.
These people were divided into three shifts, each lasting four hours, and came into the palace to take care of Brother Ninth Prince's daily life.
As for the maid?
This is not the regular quota for the prince's elder brother.
It wasn't until the beginning of the year that Brother Jiu pointed out the palace maids to come in, and then four little palace maids came in to serve as errands.
Now, these six people are not here. They have to wait for Shu Shu to summon them before they can come to the front yard.
When the two came out, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison: "Master is very happy, Master Fujin is very happy!"
"reward!"
Shu Shu smiled and watched Xiao Chun handing out the purses one by one, but her heart was bleeding.
Just this word, four hundred taels of silver will be scattered.
This is just a meeting ceremony for the new master. After listening to Wu Fujin's advice yesterday, giving rewards to people around him like today is not just this time, but has become a routine.
There are several major festivals a year, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival.
There are also rewards for the master's birthday, elder brother's birthday, and Fujin's birthday.
Even if the silver reward is halved in the future, it will still be two hundred taels once, and five times will be one thousand taels; if it is even less, one hundred taels once, it will still be five hundred taels.
Who set the bullshit precedent?
Don’t these people all have monthly prescriptions?
Working eight hours a day, there is no need for 007 or 996, and the monthly salary is generous, so why do you need to post so many rewards?
