Chapter 468: Little Jealousy and Little Arrangements (Second Update)
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege looked at each other with surprise.
It's afternoon now, the spring scenery is bright, and the room is so cramped. It's uncomfortable to hold it in. It would be a good idea to go out with the Queen Mother to have some fresh air.
San Fujin, on the other hand, hesitated a little and said: "What clothes should I wear? Do I need to change into riding clothes?"
Aunt Bai said: "Fu Jin can do as he pleases. The empress was afraid that the school grounds would be empty and the masters would feel uncomfortable because of the wind, so she gave me this extra warning."
Sanfujin didn't waste any time and went back to change his clothes.
Aunt Bai went to the east chamber again to look for Wufu Jin.
Jiu Gege thought for a while and said to Shu Shu: "Why don't you change your clothes?"
They are currently wearing regular clothes and sheepskin boots, which are quite comfortable for walking.
Shu Shu nodded.
It was the local Green Camp garrison school ground, and they were there just to join in the fun, not to show off their beauty.
The clothes I change out every day are now hanging. It feels uncomfortable not to wash them, and it is inconvenient to wash them.
Needs ironing and hanging.
"Big brother is here, no one else can compare to him..."
Nine grids.
Shu Shu said: "Prince Zhi should be in charge, and he may not end up."
The princes are all gone. Didn't they reveal their trump cards?
It is used to show the royal style to the Green Camp soldiers.
How to display?
Most likely it will fall on the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
The older brother at the front, pick another powerful one to shock you.
Let the soldiers of the Green Camp know that the prince's brothers are not mediocre.
Green Camp Soldiers, also known as Green Banner Soldiers, were the Ming and other Han armies that were recruited during the founding of the People's Republic of China.
There are about 500,000 people in the country, stationed in battalions in various places.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege didn't change their clothes very much, so they got ready very quickly.
The Jiugege is basically unchanged, except that a pearl sheepskin vest is added to the outside.
Shu Shu, on the other hand, asked Xiao Chun to help her pull down her braids and put on a hairpin, which made her look a little more formal. She also added a quilted vest with a high stand-up collar.
It’s hard to wear a mask when you arrive at school, so I can just use this collar to cover my mouth and nose.
Sanfujin and Wufujin also packed up and came out.
Wufujin looks similar to Shushu.
San Fujin changed into navy blue riding clothes and put his hair in a Mongolian bun. He looked very capable.
It is completely different from the usual charming image.
Seeing that Shu Shu and the others were still wearing the same clothes as before, San Fujin looked up and down and said, "You guys have done this to Taihu!"
Jiu Gege saw that she was wearing a ring and asked, "Is the third sister-in-law also going to play?"
San Fujin touched his ivory finger and said, "Just be prepared..."
While talking, my sister-in-law and others went to the courtyard to the east of the palace.
This is a two-entry courtyard.
In the front were two concubines with two nobles, who agreed, and in the back were the Queen Mother and the two concubines.
Therefore, when several sisters-in-law went to the Queen Mother's house, they had to pass through the front courtyard.
Several people stopped talking and followed Aunt Bai to the back yard.
But the window of the west room of the main room in the front yard was open, and Concubine Rong was sitting in front of the window.
Hearing something moving outside, he looked up.
Seeing San Fujin among them, dressed in a nondescript manner, Concubine Rong frowned and ordered the nanny beside her: "Just tell me that I have something to ask for, and ask San Fujin to come over."
Grandma responded and chased after her.
"Sanfujin, I have something to ask you..."
San Fujin's face was a little stiff, but he did not follow the mama. He said calmly: "Is there something urgent, ma'am? If it's not urgent, let me go to pay my respects to the imperial grandmother first; if you are anxious, don't delay, mama.
Hurry and find the Third Master..."
The grandma was speechless for a moment.
Sanfujin smiled and said: "Then it's no big deal, then grandma will go back first, and I'll go see the imperial grandmother first..."
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin looked at each other.
Are you trying to use the Queen Mother as an ancestral mother-in-law to suppress your mother-in-law?
But the Queen Mother will not get involved in these small lawsuits between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
However, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense. Concubine Rong must have been tormenting San Fujin a lot in the past few days, which forced her to stop pretending to be submissive.
Several people entered the main room.
Not only the Queen Mother was in the room, but also the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.
The two of them had changed into riding clothes and had riding whips around their waists, and were ordered to pick up the Queen Mother.
Seeing Shu Shu and others coming in, the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers stood up to greet them.
The Queen Mother smiled and said to everyone: "Our thirteenth and fourteenth brothers will be on stage soon. You will be the sisters-in-law. My sisters will go over and cheer for the two little brothers."
The thirteenth elder brother pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at several sisters-in-law.
They are both sisters-in-law, why are they so different?!
Last year Sister-in-Law went out and asked someone to prepare a cart of food.
He and Brother Ten also borrowed money, and never lost money along the way.
For Sanfujin, there are no snacks, let alone street food.
I took a dozen boxes with me when I went out, and they were all filled with clothes.
The thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers could still eat with the emperor's father when they were on the boat. It was quite enough to eat their own special dishes on Concubine Rong's boat.
He really wanted to order something to eat with Sister-in-law Jiu, but was afraid of getting her into trouble.
The fourteenth elder brother had no scruples. After giving gifts to his sisters-in-law and elder sister, he came up to Shu Shu and said: "Sister-in-law Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth, have you prepared any side dishes? My brother has eaten all these two days."
I can’t eat, especially the lunch meal, even with the leftovers, I can’t eat it!”
How could it actually be that exaggerated?
The hot dishes at noon are the dishes prepared in advance in the food box and freshly made in the morning.
What can Shu Shu say?
The food she had prepared there was in the small dining room on the ship. Was she still lying?
She smiled and said: "There are some, you can try them later."
The fourteenth elder brother was satisfied and faintly proud.
He could see that Sister-in-law Jiu had a bad temper, but she was very face-saving and would not reject him in front of the elders.
Shu Shu continued: "This is prepared for the Imperial Grandmother Zuo porridge. The quantity is not large. The further south you go, the hotter the weather will be. The small pickles and small pickles prepared here are also easy to spoil. If you eat them, I will eat them.
I don’t care…”
On the boat on Brother Fourteenth's side, there was Concubine Rong who was not easy to deal with, as well as the pretentious San Fujin, and the Third Brother who was very stubborn.
Shu Shu had to make a report first and planned to be stingy.
Brother Fourteen stared.
What's the meaning?
Is this asking people to eat or not to eat?
The thirteenth brother was standing by and said, "Then ask people to take less, just enough for one meal."
Shu Shu nodded.
As for the next few days, that depends on Brother Fourteen.
It was because she had previously thought of letting the fifth elder brother give some to the eldest elder brother and the seventh elder brother, but this idea disappeared.
Forget it, forget it, the more you do, the more mistakes you make.
Have a long memory.
San Fujin was standing next to him, his expression a little uneasy.
She looked at Shu Shu and hesitated to speak.
I was thinking about saving money directly and asking for more.
When the time comes, it will no longer be relevant to her to eat delicious food.
Shu Shu moved her eyes away, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Grandmother, let's go quickly."
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, let's go right away."
Wu Fujin stepped forward to help him, but the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, I was able to walk better than you when I was young."
The palace is right next to the Green Camp, less than half a mile from the school grounds.
Everyone gathered around the Queen Mother and slipped over.
Taking advantage of his age, San Fujin stood on the left side of the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Next time I have the opportunity to tour the north with the Imperial Grandmother, my granddaughter-in-law will also show you her skills..."
The Queen Mother glanced at her dress and said, "Before you got married, did you also learn to ride horses and archery?"
San Fujin smiled and said: "Yes, together with my brothers, we started riding horses and archery when we were six or seven years old. We were like tomboys all day long. It was only when we grew our hair that we started to learn the rules of needlework. Horse riding and archery were less...
"
Speaking of this, she looked at Shu Shu and said: "My sister must be the same way, right? It seems that my sister spent more time in Prince Kang's Mansion when she was a child..."
Everyone looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu glanced at San Fujin and said, "Third sister-in-law has a good memory, that's about it. My aunt loved to pick me up when I was little."
San Fujin wanted to say something more, so the Queen Mother motioned Shu Shu to come closer, took her hand and said, "Prince Kang's palace is about to leave the palace. When your aunt comes into the palace, you can see her."
There are several calculation methods for server release, some are based on twenty-five months, and some are based on three years from the beginning to the end.
All in compliance with the rules.
For example, Prince Jieshu of Kangliang passed away in the third month of the 36th year of Kangxi. If the filial piety period was 25 months, he would be served in April.
According to the calculation of the first and last three years, the remaining months of the first year, the whole year of the second year, and the first month of the third year are excluded.
Last month, Prince Kang's Mansion didn't send a post to organize the service ceremony, so it should be April.
Shu Shu nodded with a smile on his face.
"My aunt loves my grandson-in-law very much. Before my wedding last year, my aunt bought a big house. My grandson-in-law is very happy to keep it. Now I am looking forward to the next draft. My aunt has an extra daughter-in-law, and my grandson-in-law will also add generously..."
What an elderly woman likes most is to watch her juniors having sex with each other.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Then when the next draft is held, many people will be selected."
After three rounds of the Eight Flags Draft, not many showgirls were accused of being married or leaving behind labels.
Unless clan clan Fujin has almost a candidate and says hello, or there is no candidate and he wants a suitable one.
Otherwise, it only refers to the married prince and the descendants of the nearby clan.
The scope of this recent branch is the descendants of Taizong.
Shu Shu glanced at the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
The two direct descendants, Fujin, were also drafted in the 40s.
There is currently no minister named Malhan among the six departments, so he probably hasn't been promoted yet.
As for the assistant minister, since he is not the chief official, the ninth elder brother has not mentioned it, so I don’t know if the fourteenth elder brother’s father-in-law has been promoted.
On the other hand, the Ma Qi family has a prince named Fujin. I wonder if his legitimate daughter will become the prince Fujin.
While he was talking, everyone arrived at the school grounds.
There are two chairs on the high platform.
Kangxi has arrived with all the princes, bachelors, and ministers of the bodyguard.
Surrounded by a hundred or so guards wearing yellow vests, they were looking at the phalanx of green battalion soldiers.
To Shu Shu's surprise, the eighth prince has come back.
He stood next to the seventh elder brother, accompanying Kangxi.
Shu Shu was surprised and her expression did not change.
The eighth prince also glanced at Shu Shu, and then quickly looked away.
Shu Shu: "..."
Let her see that she is somewhat respectful.
Or is it hindering Ba Fujin?
Shu Shu also moved her eyes away. Although it was uncomfortable to be rejected by others, it would be best if the eighth elder brother really avoided her, and also the ninth elder brother.
The eighth prince felt a little confused.
Dong E's expression was plain, and the way he looked at himself was no different from the way he looked at Lao Qi.
She should not hold a grudge or take out her anger on him.
On his side, he seemed to be acting a little disgracefully.
He did nothing else but instruct the wet nurse and wet nurse to ask Brother Jiu for help if anything happened at home or on property.
He denied to his wife that the nurse had feelings for him, but he also knew in his heart that she felt like a daughter.
Now that he has his direct descendants and side descendants, as well as the two princesses selected by E Niang, it is really difficult to accept the daughter of a wet nurse.
Otherwise, what will others think?
Fujin will also be very noisy and cannot tolerate the wet nurse and her family.
Lao Jiu likes economics, and the nanny also has some ability to make money. Now she manages several shops of her own.
The eighth prince clenched his fists, feeling ashamed in his heart.
He didn't mean it, he was just a little jealous.
If Brother Jiu had maintained his conduct, nothing would have happened...
Seeing the Queen Mother coming, Kangxi stood up to greet her and led the Queen Mother to her seat.
Shu Shu also closed her eyes, held her breath and concentrated, and followed the two sisters-in-law to become a little daughter-in-law.
The green battalion soldiers below were waiting in formation.
Shu Shu stood behind the crowd and looked at the military situation below, extremely surprised.
It looked much more powerful than the Eight Banners troops stationed in the capital.
Now, is it time for the Green Camp to become elite?
It seems to be true.
The decline of the Eight Banners' military strength did not begin with the Battle of Ulan Butun, but earlier.
As early as the San Francisco Rebellion, the Eight Banners soldiers who went south to suppress the rebellion showed signs of decline, and the war lasted several years.
It was the Green Battalion's efforts that kept the rebels south of the Yangtze River.
For this reason, Kangxi had been expanding his green camp troops in the past few years.
The number of Green Camp soldiers increased from more than 300,000 to 500,000.
Moreover, the treatment of Green Camp soldiers is not very different from that of Eight Banners soldiers.
For this reason, the soldiers of the Eight Banners were dissatisfied.
Because in the past few years, 70% of the annual royal tax was used for military pay, and 70% of the military pay was used to support the green soldiers.
Shu Shu remembered that at that time, his own Ama was not the governor, but only the leader.
Some colleagues complained, but he never got involved.
He told his wife and daughter: "The green flag is the green flag of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's green flag, but the eight flags are not only the emperor's eight flags."
The increasing power of the imperial family was also an important factor.
The Green Camp soldiers in Kangxi's hands were already four times as many as the Eight Banners soldiers and horses.
Next to the emperor stood a military general wearing armor, it was Pan Yulong, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town.
He is tall and tall, in his prime, and has a scar on his right cheek the size of a child's fist, which looks a bit ferocious.
He was the famous Green Flag general who rose to prominence during the War of the Three Feudatories, and the scars on his face were the result of his exploits during the thirty-five-year-old conquest of Jungar with the Emperor.
"I am a rough man, and the others don't know it. They only know that the emperor has asked me to be the general soldier. I will serve as this general soldier well and train my sons well. The salary given by the court will not be wasted. If there are enemies who provoke the Qing Dynasty again,
I will ask for orders and lead my troops to destroy the enemy!"
He is from the northwest and speaks slowly but with a loud voice.
Unlike the generals of the Eight Banners, who were all descendants of noble families, he was from a poor family in the northwest, and had risen through the ranks step by step from a small soldier.
He was a general promoted by Kangxi himself. When he looked at Kangxi, his eyes were full of enthusiasm.
Kangxi had a look of relief on his face and said: "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you to train me a whole town of elites!"
Prince Yabu of Jian and Prince Nerfu of Pingjun came forward and half-kneeled.
One person holds the bow and the other holds the quiver, asking the emperor to practice shooting for the green flag soldiers.
Prince Jian Yabu is a distant relative whom Shu Shu has met.
It seemed like this was the first time I saw Prince Pingjun Nerfu.
He is the youngest among the princes in the clan.
He is the clan nephew of Kangxi and the clan nephew of all the princes.
He looks to be about the same age as his eldest brother.
He also has an identity as Cao Yin's in-laws.
Kangxi took the bow in one hand and signaled the eldest brother to take the quiver. He looked at the sons in the guard, his eyes passed over the fifth elder brother, the seventh elder brother, and the eighth elder brother, and said: "The third elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother,
Brother, Brother Fourteen, follow me to perform..."

I burst into tears. I was writing intermittently when I was suffering from a cold. I wanted to do it two-in-one, but I took cold medicine and now I can’t open my eyes. I owe you an update.
The next chapter will be updated at 10 a.m. on October 17th. This book is the first release of Qidian. Welcome to the Qidian app.
