After the ceremony was completed, 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 prince goes down to the 14th prince and goes to the minister's study, and the 15th prince goes back to the East and West Sixth Palace. Among them, the 15th prince Brother and the mother of the sixteenth elder brother live in Yonghe Palace, located in the East Sixth Palace, not far from Yuqing Palace. The seventeenth elder brother is carried back to Yikun Palace by his nanny.
Except for the youngest Shiliu Gege, several 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-shoulder, and the nanny is supporting them, and the palace maids follow, riding on the shoulder-to-shoulder and ride away.
The remaining few people walked to the small gate of Qiandongbei Station, and everyone divided into two groups.
The Fourth, Fifth and Seventh Fujins are going back here, while Shu Shu and the Eighth Fujins are left to go through the Imperial Garden and return to their elder brother's office on the west road.
Several people looked at Shu Shu with worry, but it was difficult 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 it..."
Shu Shu shook Qi Fujin's hand and nodded.
There are ears everywhere in the palace, and Qi Fujin is always on her side whether last night or today.
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 just told Shu Shu: "You have some free time, just come over and talk..."
There are many sisters-in-law, and there are some who are congenial and some who are not congenial, and those who are not congenial 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 the words of his sisters-in-law, 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 up the responsibility of a husband and protect her from being bullied!"
Brother Ninth felt uncomfortable hearing this, but the truth was true and he also said seriously: "Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry, brother, please don't worry!"
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 Ninth hesitated and asked, "Could it be 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 nothing to say, but you still bully the bride?
Shu Shu did not add any exaggeration, and recounted the scene in the new house last night, sighing: "On weekdays, if I just stabbed a sentence or two, I would just tolerate it... But last night, I talked with my brothers 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, and he felt very depressed, but he didn't know how to solve it.
It has been a month since the Bafu Jin married into the palace. 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 people's feelings.
"Fifth brother's place, I'll go talk tomorrow... The palace is full of snobs. If he doesn't protect fifth sister-in-law, who will protect 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 the 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 apologize for it.
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 Jiu 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 the prince is located in the front courtyard wing.
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 include fat duck, roasted pork ribs, salt-fried white meat, and shredded pork. The vegetarian dishes include roasted eggplant, cabbage, stir-fried gluten, and roasted tofu.
There are two kinds of dim sum, one kind of elephant-eye steamed buns and one kind of 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.
Not living in the palace, but eating 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."
It is a fixed daily routine for the prince to pay the royal meal to the royal dining room.
Who would have thought that the prince's daily rations were so simple, including six kilograms of pork, ten ducks per month, one liter and two cans of aged rice, two kilograms of white flour, and six kilograms of seasonal vegetables. The seasonings were only salt, sugar, sweet sauce, vinegar, There are sesame oil, onion, ginger and garlic.
Now that there is a new prince named Shu Shu, there should be a separate portion for him, but he just came in yesterday and the corresponding portion hasn't come down yet, so the one he eats is Jiu Age's.
"The duck is for Grandma Liu, the salt-fried meat is for Cui Xuanda, 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 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 difficult to use with 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 has 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 took a while to move his chopsticks as if he was taking medicine. He was simply shocked by Shu Shu's appetite.
When he put down his chopsticks, he stared at Shu Shu's belly: "You don't feel tired after eating so much?"
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 good 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 you go to the dining room according to the rules, it doesn't suit your taste. 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 not picky about food. Just now, he took a bite of stir-fried gluten while preparing the dishes. Is this called not picky about food?
I 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 moved away, 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 said: "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 he moved out of the palace... Liu In addition to being my nanny, grandma is also my nanny and has been taking 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 eighty or 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 Nanny Liu, whom Brother Ninth had specially recommended.
Cui Nanshan has a fair face and no beard, a little thin, and his body is bowed with a very respectful expression.
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 contains all the members of the Prince Service Corps.
There are eight nannies, 24 women who work on needlework, laundry, lighting, and cooking, one skilled eunuch, six attendant eunuchs, and more than 40 rough eunuchs.
Among them, the nuns and servants were all selected by the women of the House of Internal Affairs. They were by his side when he landed. The knowledgeable eunuchs and attendant eunuchs 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 palace maid?
It 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 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 greeting gift 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 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 200 taels once, and five times will be 1,000 taels; even if it is less, one hundred taels once, it will still be 500 taels.
Who set this bullshit precedent?
Don’t these people all have monthly records?
Working eight hours a day, there is no need for 007 or 996, and the monthly salary is generous. Why do you need to post so many rewards?
