"Yes, included together with the first edition of "Qing Dynasty Law"..."
Baitang'a thought for a while and replied.
Brother Jiu nodded, said nothing more, and left with Shu Shu and others.
After returning to the second house, the young couple went to the study room.
Brother Jiu didn't want to embarrass Shu Shu any more. Instead, he picked out a volume of "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty", sat by the kang, and read it carefully.
Shu Shu looked over her head and saw that, as she expected, Brother Jiu watched "Hulu Shop" first.
The handling of various disputes related to sales and transactions is in this volume.
It’s so strong!
Is this still the original lawsuit that you were angry about?
Shu Shu smiled, did not interrupt, and picked up a copy of "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty", but it was "Household Law Marriage".
Just by looking at the catalog, you can appreciate the complexity of marriage.
In addition to the basic "marriage between men and women" regulations, there are also "hire of wives and daughters", "disorder of wives and concubines", "marrying sons-in-law", "marriage in mourning", "marriage under the confinement of parents", "marriage with the same surname", "respect for marriage" "Marry in a lowly manner", "Marry a relative's wife", "Marry a woman from the tribe as a concubine", "Marry a runaway woman", "Forcibly seize the wife and daughter of a good family", "Marry a happy person as a concubine", "Marry a monk's wife", "Marry a good and humble woman" There are 16 items including "for the sake of marriage", "for giving away one's wife", "for the crime of marrying a matchmaker in violation of the law".
Shu Shu looked at it and couldn't help but miss the future.
Everyone is equal before the law, which is not an empty phrase.
For ordinary people, obeying the law is also the best talisman.
As for the current "Qing Code", it is a constraint for the common people, and it is a piece of waste paper for the real powerful.
Only when a superior person eliminates dissidents, or when political opponents with similar power attack each other, can the law be used as a weapon to judge criminals.
Brother Jiu didn't know when he came over, saw clearly the scroll in Shu Shu's hand, and said dissatisfied: "Why are you studying this? Are you thinking about how to suppress me again?"
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him: "If you want to suppress me, you still need to study this..."
Brother Ninth's face turned red, white, and red again. He quickly looked at the door, and when he saw no one was around, he scolded him in a low voice: "You can't hold back your words, you dare to say anything..."
You can't swallow what you say, but you can also practice it.
As for the result?
Naturally, some are satisfied and some protest.
How could Brother Jiu, a grown man, admit that he is not as strong as his wife?
It dawned early in summer, but it was still dark in Yinchu.
It can only be said that it was not easy for the prince in the Qing Dynasty, and it was even more difficult for the young prince to study. To reach the study room in Yinzheng, he needed to read in the morning.
The clothes had been prepared a long time ago, and Shu Shu looked like a good wife, helping Brother Jiu put them on.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and couldn't help lowering his head and nibbling on her face: "Don't be complacent... I haven't rested well these past few days, so I slacked off... I let you take advantage of Qiao Jin... try again later , I will never let you go again..."
Shu Shu nodded obediently.
Okay, you are right, everything you said is right.
Brother Jiu was so angry that he almost laughed.
This Dong E family behaved well in front of others, but he was completely different behind others. He was too presumptuous.
I have to stay in Shangshufang for a whole day, from Yinzheng to Xuchu, so I have two meals a day there.
Shu Shu asked virtuously: "What do you want for breakfast?"
Brother Jiu snorted coldly: "Baozi! Meat buns! Pure meat!"
Shu Shu nodded and wrote it down.
She was so well-behaved, Brother Jiu couldn't help but keep a cold face, and said with a bit of disapproval: "You should also eat more, don't think about reducing your food intake now... Otherwise, if you lose weight, you will be able to meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law in a few days." They are worried..."
Shu Shu responded with a smile, estimated the time, and personally sent Brother Jiu to the front yard.
The tenth prince and a young eunuch were already waiting at the door.
Seeing Shu Shu come out, Brother Ten was not surprised, and his face became a little more polite: "Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Shu Shu also nodded in courtesy without saying much. She watched the two brothers go out along the corridor before turning back.
Xiao Chun was beside him and was surprised: "Why didn't Fujin ask Master Shi what he wanted to eat? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to arrange it according to Master Shi's wishes?"
Shu Shu shook her head: "If you want to ask, you can ask me yourself, you don't need me to do it for you..."
There is a saying that "the elder sister-in-law is like the mother", but Shu Shu is not the "eldest sister-in-law".
Because the Manchus had a custom of adopting step-marriage outside the customs in the early years, they were very taboo about sisters-in-law getting close to their brothers-in-law.
When it came out that Lord Shunzhi only favored Concubine Dong E, the eldest brother-in-law and his sister-in-law became more taboo.
Especially between uncles and sisters-in-law who are similar in age, it is easy to get into trouble, so Shu Shu will naturally not let herself fall behind.
Dong E's house was simple, Xiao Chun had limited knowledge, and she was a girl. Naturally, she couldn't think of this, so she just asked and left it aside.
It was still early before dawn, so Shu Shu ordered Xiaotang: "Steam two baskets of pure meat buns, put only chopped green onion, don't add shredded ginger, and two baskets of assorted steamed buns with plain stuffing... Steam three portions of glutinous rice chicken, and steam two portions of yellow rice and red bean cake. A serving...two meat and two vegetarian side dishes, plus a meat soup and a vegetarian porridge..."
Xiaotang remembered to go to the dining room to send a message.
Shu Shu returned to the study and continued to read "Hulu Marriage" which she had read yesterday.
Today, June 30th, is the day when Shu Shu goes to Yikun Palace to pay his respects.
Wufu Jin had mentioned before that the time for the concubines to go to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects was at the beginning of the morning. As daughters-in-law, they should not arrive at Yikun Palace later than the first quarter of the morning, otherwise time would be tight.
There is no need to go too early, otherwise it will disturb Concubine Yi’s breakfast.
When the clock reached six o'clock, Xiaotang brought someone over to set the table.
Four colors of breakfast, served with four side dishes, one porridge and one soup.
The food Shu Shu ordered herself was served by the grandmother on the stove with all her heart, and it was very delicious.
When she put down her chopsticks and rinsed her mouth, Xiaochun asked: "Fujin, who are you sending to deliver food to my elder brother..."
"Where are Sun Jin and Li Yin?"
Shu Shu asked.
"Waiting outside..."
Xiaochun replied.
Although the ninth elder brother said the day before yesterday that these two people would be assigned to Shu Shu, Shu Shu was not used to handling eunuchs. He didn't think of it yesterday and hadn't formally summoned them yet.
"Call in..."
Shu Shu said slowly.
Xiao Chun responded and went to the door to pass the news.
The two little eunuchs in blue were dressed similarly to He Yuzhu and were about the same age, but in their twenties. They looked pretty and pretty. One of them had a baby face and a smiling face; the other had a mole on the corner of his mouth and a somewhat feminine look.
If this person is ugly, he won't be able to be with the prince's brother.
"I've met my master, please greet me!"
The two of them were also well-behaved. They came in with their heads lowered and knelt down in Shu Shu's direction as a courtesy.
"Get up!"
Shu Shu said, gesturing to Xiao Chun to reward him.
This is the gift of acknowledging master and servant, so it is natural to reward him alone.
Xiaochun handed over the purse, and the two of them took it with both hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master for the reward..."
"What errands did you do with me before?"
Shu Shu asked.
The baby-faced one was Sun Jin, who bowed and replied: "This slave usually runs errands. He takes people to the imperial kitchen to get orders every day, or goes to the side to pass a message or something..."
Li Yinze, who has a mole, said: "My servant used to serve Bi Mo by his master's side. In the past two years, he has obeyed his master's arrangements and followed Manager Cui's orders..."
After hearing this, Shu Shu knew in her heart that these two people were really not ordinary little eunuchs without weight.
One is responsible for the external affairs of the Second Institute, and the other is learning management from Manager Cui, and is a candidate for the future internal manager.
To be honest, the weight of the two of them is no less than that of He Yuzhu beside Brother Jiu.
Shu Shu couldn't help but smile: "My principal wife doesn't need to keep anyone around on weekdays. If anything happens, I will naturally instruct you... From now on, your errands will be the same as usual... It's Sun Jin's place. It will be harder in the future. Today I will take care of the two." I will personally go to the study room to deliver meals...breakfast will be delivered before the beginning of the morning, and dinner will be delivered before noon..."
At this point, she felt something was wrong. The free time in the afternoon was too long, so she said: "Bring an extra snack box and put it down when delivering dinner, so that I won't be hungry in the afternoon..."
Sun Jin responded respectfully.
Shu Shu then said to Li Yin: "Manager Cui, when you are on duty in the palace, you will add a meat dish and a vegetable dish to every meal. You watch the waiters... He Yuzhu, you two will add a meat dish to every meal in the future..."
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Yin said with hesitation on his face: "Master, I gave the slave to the master, so I took Yao Zixiao to the study to serve the pen and ink..."
Shu Shu nodded: "I know, then add him, add some meat dishes, and make up for it from my share..."
By the time Sun Jin and Li Yin left, it was almost time, and Shu Shu changed into a brand new brightly colored flag uniform.
The inner robe is a begonia red that is close to deep pink, and the outer waistcoat is a lighter pink. The braided hair is not only made of red agate flat squares, but also has a ruby flower. The white jade embroidery has no placket, but Wearing it on the wrist, the matching flag shoes are the one-inch-high boat-soled flag shoes that Kochun rushed to make.
She looked pink and tender, not as eye-catching as wearing a red dress, but it also matched her status as a delicate new daughter-in-law.
After Xiaoyu served Shu Shu and dressed up, she couldn't take her eyes away and praised sincerely: "Fu Jin must have had a good rest these past two days. His face is so red, as if he has applied rouge..."
Shu Shu looked at the mercury mirror and felt puzzled.
These eyes are watery, with pink at the corners. Is this really me?
this……
It is the legendary "picking yang and replenishing yin"...
Some want to laugh.
What should I do if I’m still a little embarrassed?
Although it was understandable that she was a newlywed, Shu Shu didn't want to stand out.
An emperor has dozens of concubines. Some are favored and some are not.
There are many women who complain, so it’s better for her to be quiet.
She took a powder puff and pressed the corners of her eyes to cover up the light red. She took an eyebrow pencil and flattened her eyebrows. She also changed her lipstick to pomegranate red, shifting the focus on her face from her eyebrows to her mouth and nose. at.
Shu Shu held her pocket watch, estimated the time, and waited at the entrance of the Royal Garden early in the morning.
In addition to Xiao Chun, the people I brought with me today were also the palace maid Walnut transferred from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Walnut is seventeen years old and has been working in the palace for four years. She was first assigned to Chuxiu Palace as a minor maid.
Because Chu Xiu's concubine Xiao Hesheli died of illness the year before last, all the eldest maids in her name were left behind and were sent to Jingshan to work as palace servants. However, the little maids were not affected and were only sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Before Wu Fujin arrived, Shu Shu started gossiping with Walnut: "Is there anyone else in your family who works in the palace?"
