Chapter 485 Delay (Second update, please vote for me)
After listening to the third elder brother's words, Kangxi looked at him carefully several times.
There was only worry in his eyes and nothing else.
It was not to shirk responsibility or to use illness as an excuse for Concubine Rong's misbehavior.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
Finally there are some advantages.
Kangxi's expression did not change, and the anger in his heart had dissipated. He nodded and said: "Let's take a look. Later, if you tell me, if she no longer has the moral integrity and talks about those nonsense, she will just "report illness" and there will be no need to see anyone.
!"
At the end of the day, he brought condensation.
The third elder brother's heart was lifted, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Emperor Ama, my empress was not like this before. It was probably due to her health. My son will serve her well and she will not be like this again."
Is your mother an old fool?
Why do you dare to say anything?
You should know that because Manchuria's marriage customs were different from those in Guanli in the early years, they were often criticized by Confucian scholars.
Remember the URL.\n
Now the emperor's father advocates Confucianism, and even the royal family and clan have changed their rules.
The practice of "accepting stepmarriages" has basically been stopped, and observance of the law is no longer compulsory, but fewer people are remarrying.
Even if the clan is like this, the royal family cherishes their face even more.
This is a taboo.
Kangxi did not nod, but only said, "This time I made trouble in front of the Queen Mother, which was very inappropriate. I should have been severely punished."
It's just that I'm on a southern tour and I don't want to make a joke.
He said it in an understatement, but the third elder brother couldn't treat it as a child's play.
He felt aggrieved before, but now he is only happy.
It seems that compared with others, only punishing him with three years of Baylor salary is not unacceptable.
Otherwise, no matter whether it is sending E Niang back to the capital or demoting her position, people would not dare to think about it.
Outside the tent, there was no one else except the guards and patrolling guards.
Ma Qi and several elder brothers obeyed the instructions and left each other.
Watching the emperor's father taking Liang Jiugong to Yuzhou, the third elder brother took a breath and went to accompany the imperial physician to check in...
In the Queen Mother's cabin.
When Aunt Bai came back and heard some gossip, everyone dispersed.
The fifth elder brother and his wife went to the back cabin.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege went to the front cabin.
Jiu Gege's face looked a little ugly.
It's shameful.
She couldn't help complaining to Shu Shu, "I'm twelve years old. In order to eat, my concubine's mother and my third sister-in-law were disturbed, and then they went to the dining room and even Khan Ama was alarmed. It's really embarrassing."
Dead people!"
That's her half-brother.
Even though Aunt Bai mentioned it to Brother Fourteen when she came back and didn't say anything else, Jiu Gege Bingxue was smart, and after hearing the cause and effect, she also thought that that was the root of the problem.
What can Shu Shu say?
It can only be said that the naughty child is very lethal, and she is happy to see its results.
It’s not you who is tormenting yourself, but your opponent. What could be more beautiful than this?
She suppressed her smile and looked very tolerant, saying, "My fourteenth brother is still a child. He has a lively temper but is not unreasonable. He must have been really wronged."
Jiu Gege shook his head and said, "It's just willfulness."
Who can not be wronged?
Even though she is as noble as a royal grandmother, she does not always follow her wishes.
Why can't he, a little brother who is serving as a retinue for the first time, not be honest and have to make people dislike him everywhere?
It was already time to turn on the lights, so the aunt and sister-in-law went back to their rooms.
In the cabin, the lights have been lit.
Xiao Chun was packing her clothes, and there were several brand-new spring clothes hanging on the hangers next to her.
It was stored in a box before and had to be taken out, ironed and hung to make it flat and neat before it could be worn on the body.
Wearing a begonia red flag outfit and a lotus color flag outfit.
The collar and cuffs of the begonia red flag dress are embroidered with roses, and the lotus color flag dress is embroidered with white magnolia.
This is also the current rule of dressing. If you don’t embroider, don’t choose. If you do embroider, it must be in season.
There is also a floral-blue waistcoat.
On the small table next to it, there are two shelf heads.
One is more gorgeous and goes with bright-colored clothes, and the other is more plain and goes with the lotus-colored flag dress.
Shu Shu looked at it and couldn't help but wonder, "Are you going to take it out?"
Xiaochun responded, "Yes, tomorrow is twenty-eight, and it's time for Fujin to change his clothes."
Shu Shu leaned on the couch, missing her ninth elder brother a little.
Every day is spent looking at the scenery outside, eating and drinking, and it goes by so fast. In the blink of an eye, I have been out of Beijing for a month.
When did the last letter come?
Eighteen received one letter, and twenty-three received one letter.
I replied once on the 19th, but I still haven’t replied to the letter on the 23rd.
Tomorrow is a good time to write a reply and express my thoughts.
It seems like it can't happen tomorrow.
This letter really cannot be delayed.
The wedding day of the Tenth Prince is on the second day of March. Given the temperament of the Ninth Prince, it is time to set off after the "first meeting" on the third day of March.
Shu Shu calculated the time in her mind and felt that it would be safer to write at night.
When Xiao Song saw her going to the table, laying out pens and papers, he moved the lamp there as well.
Shu Shu held the brush and hesitated for a moment.
She didn't mention what happened today, and she couldn't keep complaining.
What happened?
She has become a garrulous woman who loves to talk.
She mentioned that tomorrow would be twenty-eight, and she wondered if he would remember to put on a new belt and new purse.
The belt was made simply and the purse was not exquisite. He was wronged because he married a mediocre woman from Fujin.
But every detail is her intention.
He also mentioned that the wedding of the 10th prince is in a few days, and the gifts that the couple had prepared privately before should also be sent to the 10th prince.
There was also the makeup for Buyin Gege, which she had prepared before. In the previous letter, she forgot to remind him to send it to Sibeile Mansion, and asked Sifu Jin to help bring it there when he added makeup.
And asked him to ask the little palace maid Hazel for the recipe.
Among them were several dishes made from milk and mutton, which were given to the tenth prince.
If Shifujin is new here and is not used to the palace food, he can ask someone to cook it.
In the letter on the 23rd, Brother Jiu mentioned Tong Ren Tang Pharmacy.
The Dutong Mansion has sent people to look for him, and also invited the head of the Le family to come to see my uncle.
He didn't mention anything else.
At this time, no news is good news.
Next, Shu Shu mentioned that today, according to the Queen Mother's instructions, she and Wu Fujin would introduce Jiangnan to the concubines and mentioned Jiangnan delicacies.
Later, when the Queen Mother ordered food, she remembered a food allusion from Hangzhou.
She had only seen "Dongpo Pork" in books, and this was her first time eating it.
Later, it was mentioned that they will go to Huai'an Prefecture in a few days, and then they will ask people to try making "Dongpo Cold Pot Fish".
In the entire letter, what she really wanted to say was the most important thing.
There was a big fuss today. Although it was the fourteenth elder brother who caused the trouble, it was the third elder brother who was punished in the end.
But who knows what Kangxi thought?
You have to make him understand that the extra meal today is not his own initiative.
Therefore, this turmoil has nothing to do with her...
Early the next morning, Shu Shu sent off to run errands and deliver a letter to Gao Yanzhong.
Kangxi, after receiving the news, hesitated for a while and asked Liang Jiugong to come out.
He didn't have any other intention, he was just afraid that Mr. Dong E would have resentment in his heart and say something to Brother Jiu, which would affect the brotherhood.
After all, there was no letter from Brother Jiu in the past two days, but Dong E chose this time to write.
After reading it again, except for the sticky sentences at the beginning, which were instructing the tenth prince to give gifts and add makeup to the Borzigit family, the rest was to eat and drink.
On the contrary, I specifically mentioned yesterday, and only mentioned eating.
Kangxi immediately realized that he had gone too far.
Mr. Dong E didn't know the inside story at all, so he had nothing to complain about.
From the previous letters, it can be seen that she is a well-behaved person.
I never mentioned anything bad about my uncles and sisters-in-law in my letters.
Kangxi was satisfied and then became curious.
What is "a gift prepared in private?"
Have you prepared two wedding gifts?
Including Dong E's makeup for Borzijit, it's three copies.
Although Kangxi didn't know what the gift was specifically, with the generosity of the two of them, it couldn't be too thin.
He felt a little helpless and complained to Liang Jiugong: "This is like being a brother, and being a sister-in-law is addicted. The total is only a few months..."
Liang Jiugong said, "As I look at it, in Master Jiu's eyes, I am afraid that Master Ten is closer than Master Five."
This is telling the truth.
Kangxi snorted softly and said, "Anyway, when the fifth elder brother got married, I didn't see the ninth elder brother being so concerned about it."
He complained, but he was quite pleased in his heart.
Princes should be so close to each other.
If those who share the same mother and those who have different mothers are divided into distant relatives, then where will this Khan Amma be placed?
Brother Ninth is good at this.
The tenth elder brother is also a good reader.
The eldest brother and the fourth brother are also good, they look like older brothers.
Kangxi was depressed twice yesterday, but now he feels much more comfortable. He rarely praised Shu Shu: "If the other prince Fujin behaves like Dong E, there will be nothing to worry about."
They are both from the Dong E family, so why are they so far apart?
How did Jiu Fujin treat his tenth and thirteenth elder brothers during the northern tour?
Not only is she a sister-in-law, but she is also like an eldest sister.
Now that I'm here in Sanfujin, I can't even bear to take care of the food in person, so I ask someone to send forty taels of silver to the kitchen and that's it.
How contemptuous?
What I was thinking about yesterday was that my sons were not doing well and I couldn't care about others.
Now that I think about it, San Fujin's fault is not just one, but several...
Forbidden City, Qianxi Second Institute.
Brother Jiu looked in the mirror and took a very ugly look.
The belt is beautiful, with millet beads and coral beads mixed with the embroidered word "福".
One inch square.
When the whole belt comes down, it means five blessings, which means five blessings come to the door.
It comes with a big red silk purse, and the tape on it is braided into a bat knot.
Brother Jiu thought he looked beautiful. He raised his chin and asked He Yuzhu, "How do you think you are dressed like this?"
He Yuzhu gave a thumbs up and said, "Spirit!"
"Haha! Today is a good day, I am happy!"
Brother Jiu said with joy.
The service is out and February is at the end of the month.
March is almost here.
Where is the holy chariot now?
You should still be in Huaibei, right?
Wait until the third day of March to set off on your own, and you should be able to catch up with the Holy Driver before he arrives in Suzhou.
Thinking about it, Brother Jiu felt happy and said, "Hold the two jewelry boxes that I found yesterday..."
He Yuzhu listened to the instructions, touched a brocade parcel, and followed Brother Jiu out.
Brother Ninth went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first.
Gao Bin is already here.
Brother Jiu looked over with a bit of expectation in his eyes.
Gao Bin shook his head and said, "I have gone to the south study room. There is no letter from Master Jiu today."
Brother Jiu looked gloomy and made a note of this in his mind.
After twenty-six days of walking, I sent five letters, but the heartless little guy only got back three.
I still owe myself two letters!
After being almost busy with the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Brother Jiu went to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Fourth Prince accepted the imperial edict and began to make statistics on the money and food owed by the disaster-stricken areas in Jiangnan in the past few years.
The Holy Spirit's southern tour was for water conservancy and also for the purpose of appeasing the people.
After arriving in Jiangnan, money and food will be reduced or reduced to benefit the people.
The ninth elder brother stood at the door for a long time, and then he saw the fourth elder brother lowering his head to copy something, occasionally frowning and fiddling with the abacus at hand.
I don’t know how long I have been writing, and sometimes I was rubbing my wrists, but I didn’t even notice anyone coming at the door.
Brother Jiu touched his chin, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
Compared with fourth brother, I seem to be too leisurely.
this……
He's not lazy.
First, Zhang Baobo is very capable and writes down the details of each errand well.
Moreover, precedents will be noted for Brother Nine’s reference.
Brother Ninth is extremely worry-free.
Second, there is a new manager, He Yi.
He Yi was not one of the most popular new officials, nor did he want to make any fuss. He just acted too cautiously.
I was afraid that I would do something inadequate, so I worked at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day.
Brother Ninth was also happy and left most of the errands to He Yi.
It's also an errand, wouldn't it be nice to do it yourself?
What's the benefit of working so hard like Fourth Brother?
Brother Jiu shook his head with disapproval.
The fourth elder brother's eyes were tired, so he looked up, and saw the ninth elder brother there, frowning, raising his eyebrows, and shaking his head.
He looked funny, put down his pen, and said, "What are you thinking about?"
There was a big show on his face.
Brother Jiu came in and said, "I just think that what the fourth brother did was wrong, or what the younger brother did right..."
Brother Si was startled, a little confused.
What did you do?
Why did you do it wrong?
Brother Jiu had already pulled up a chair and sat across from him, saying, "My brother thought about it for a while, but my brother's behavior is more right!"
Fourth Brother was speechless and said, "What on earth did I do wrong?"
Brother Jiu pointed to the abacus on his table and said, "What is this?"
The fourth brother looked at him angrily and said nothing.
They all learned the abacus when they were studying mathematics in the study at the age of seven or eight.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Fourth brother is right? You have to do everything by yourself, that's wrong! You have to check even the numbers yourself. So what do those doctors, chief officers, and post-scribes outside do?"
Brother Si rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm used to being cautious, so I won't worry if I don't check it again..."
Especially this involves the disaster-stricken states and counties and the people's livelihood.
The ninth elder brother casually took out a small mirror from his purse and handed it to the fourth elder brother.
"Fourth brother, take a good look, what have you become?"
Brother Si looked at the makeup mirror inlaid with gems and was speechless, saying, "Do you always carry this with you?"
Why didn’t you know that Brother Jiu had this problem before?!
Brother Jiu had a smile on his face and said with a little pride, "It's what my younger brother Fujin often uses. My younger brother carries it with him, just like Fujin is with him."
Fourth elder brother felt his teeth were sore.
I really don’t understand, what’s the point of pride in this?
Who doesn’t have Fujin?
In this little month, it can be seen that Brother Jiu has been very busy.
I wrote a letter to Fujin, and together with the prince's brothers, I jointly sent a letter to the emperor's father to please An Zhezi. I went alone twice more and wrote a letter to Ma Qi, the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Gao Yanzhong, the doctor.
In less than thirty days, more than a dozen letters were sent to the holy team.
On average, one letter every other day.
Brother Jiu saw that he didn't take the mirror, so he opened it and handed it to him, saying, "Look carefully, what's the difference between you and my brother..."
Brother Si had a headache from being talked about, and looked into the mirror with reluctance.
Eyebrows are still eyebrows, eyes are eyes, there is no difference.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother, wondering what was wrong with him.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "That means you don't have a beard. If you don't say thirty-two, some people believe it. How can he look like twenty-two?"
Brother Si's face drooped, and he couldn't help but look into the mirror from the corner of his eyes.
My eyes are a little blue and black now, and my face is also thin.
Others are fine too.
But to say thirty-two is too exaggerated!
He is steady and has dignity.
This is how men should be.
Is it okay to dress like a peacock like Jiu Age and not sit still?
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother with disgust and said, "You are no longer a child, so you should be more stable."
The ninth elder brother curled his lips and said, "The fourth sister-in-law is several years younger than you, and the girl's family always wears make-up and powder to look younger. When they turn around and the couple go out, others will look and think, oh, they look just like the two of us!"
The fourth brother heard this is outrageous, why are you the only one?
Fujin is dignified and steady, just right.
On the other hand, the younger brother in front of me looks like he is of the same generation as Honghui, so he worries about being his father.
He just wanted to wave his hand and send him away. He was still busy here and had no time to grind his teeth with him.
But when he saw the package in He Yuzhu's arms, Fourth Brother swallowed his words and said, "Is this a gift?"
Only then did Brother Ninth remember the business and said, "This is the makeup gift that I, Fujin, have prepared for Lao Shi Fujin. Isn't it the day after tomorrow that I will add makeup? I just want to bother Sister-in-law Four to help bring it over."
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother took it seriously. He quickly took out his pocket watch and checked the time. Then he called Su Peisheng and said, "Send it to your home quickly. Just say that it was Jiu Fujin who gave me the makeup. If Fujin has already set off, send it to him inside."
Pavilion…”
Su Peisheng heard this, hugged the package, and rushed away.
Brother Jiu was standing by, dumbfounded: "Why is it today? Isn't it the latter one?"
Type "+ Erguan Er: the day of makeup; tomorrow is the first day of March, the day when the ten brothers and sisters send makeup to the palace..."
There is no thirty in February. It is twenty-eight in ordinary years and twenty-nine in leap years.
This year is not a leap year, today is the end of the month, and tomorrow is the first day of March...
The fourth elder brother rolled his eyes at him and frowned: "What have you been thinking about all day long? Today is February 28th, the day to add makeup; tomorrow is March 1st, the day when the ten younger brothers and sisters send makeup to the palace."
