Shu Shu tomorrow’s words of Walnut have unfinished meaning.
Handmade gifts not only make the ninth elder brother happy, but also please the father-in-law and mother-in-law.
What a clever girl.
After all, she is a girl from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it has become her instinct to figure out her master's thoughts.
Compared with Walnut, Xiaochun and the others are too honest.
Xiaoyu was listening, and felt that what Walnut said made sense: "Fu Jin, if I have to choose one, the belt is better, and it is better to give gifts in the open."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Children only choose, I want them all."
Although the two girls didn't know whether it was a joke or not, they understood the general meaning and nodded in agreement.
After all, they are newlyweds, so it is good to be more expressive at this time.
Shu Shu ordered: "Go back and prepare more beeswax. In addition to making facial cream for Master Jiu, the rest can be used to make lip balm..."
Women, regardless of age, all love beauty.
The two princes, Fujin, and their sisters-in-law must show courtesy to each other, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi must also show filial piety.
In addition, the Thirteenth Brother's biological mother, Zhang Bin, had received such an expensive bracelet before, so she could give her a small gift in return.
Thinking of Zhang Bin, Shu Shu's heart trembled.
Because the Thirteenth Brother was the first to be enfeoffed, he was a famous person in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and his life story had long been revealed.
The young man lost his mother...
Zhang Bin looks like she is in her twenties, how old is she actually now?
According to the upper and lower age limits for the Ministry of Internal Affairs draft, it is roughly between 27 or 8 years old and 31 or 2 years old.
There was a precedent of Brother Jiu almost dying due to the heat, so Shu Shu didn't bother to guess Zhang Bin's condition.
The sage hands at Taiyuan Hospital are here, and Zhang Bin is so favored, they will do their best to save her if she can.
terrible.
Shu Shu was thinking about reading Materia Medica again.
Brother Jiu walked around and came back, and found Shu Shu sitting distracted, and two girls sitting on a small stool, talking to each other in a low voice.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming back, the two girls stood up quickly.
Brother Jiu glanced at the two of them and frowned: "You are so ignorant, disturbing Fujin from having a good rest!"
The two quickly admitted their mistake.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and sent people off, then complained to Shu Shu: "Why don't you have a good rest? When the Holy Emperor arrives in the afternoon, there will be another hour or two of delay in welcoming him."
Shu Shu stood up and pulled Brother Jiu to sit down by the kang: "I can't sleep since I'm not here... What do you think, Master? Has everything in the dining room been transferred?"
Brother Jiu nodded: "The repairs are about the same, but it looks a little better than Yaoting... The dining room is well prepared. I took a rough look at it. No matter how it is used, the prepared meat and dishes are almost the same as the proportions." , I can’t fault it... The manager here is more cautious, and even if he is greedy, he is less greedy than the one in front..."
Shu Shu was curious: "I just turned around like this for a few times, and there was no other reaction? Didn't I ask anyone to keep a close eye on me? Or was I following you secretly?" ŴŴŴ.
Brother Jiu shook his head: "This manager looks like a man of rules. He walked around with me all under his nose. What else can he do?"
The young couple looked at each other.
What about the filial piety that I thought about before?
Are they so arrogant that they think that Brother Jiu can't find anything?
Brother Ninth felt offended that he was looked down upon, and snorted coldly: "Okay? I thought they were calm enough, but it turns out that I didn't take my bald brother seriously!"
In fact, the general manager Xing Zai is also struggling.
Unable to hide his worry on his face, he said to his confidant: "Brother Ninth has gone around in a circle, walking in the dining room, the palace kitchen, and the residence of the emperor and the empress dowager. He has seen them one by one. Is he watching? What came out?"
The stakes were so high that the confidant couldn't make up his mind, so he hesitated and said: "Sir, why don't we still give him filial piety? It's not strange for many people to give filial piety! But what if...according to the news sent earlier, this person is ignorant of the world, If you send the money out, will it remind you..."
Who thinks money bites your hand?
We are not afraid of spending money to avoid disasters, but we are afraid of not being able to feed ourselves enough.
The general manager was accustomed to being cautious and made a decision: "This is not an extraneous incident, this is prepared for any trouble."
When he had an idea, he stopped delaying and instead of equipping the banker directly, he took a palm-sized box full of gold leaves.
There are also four boxes of ingredients, four kinds of dried seafood such as swallow's wings and abalone tripe.
He placed the lower box among the four food boxes, wrapped it in brocade, and then came out with his confidants.
Shu Shu also chatted with Brother Jiu. Since this place is a checkpoint, there are also merchants gathering in the nearby town.
If there is anything that needs to be added, you can just send someone out to buy it.
I heard He Yuzhu come in and send a message, saying that the manager was waiting to meet him outside.
Brother Ninth was stunned: "What? Want to see Fujin? Are you a slave of yours? You are not asking to see me, but to see Fujin?"
He Yuzhu replied: "I heard it true. I just asked to see Fujin and brought a big bag of things..."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and whispered: "See you? I didn't expect that there are still people who want to find another way..."
Shu Shu nodded: "Then let's meet. You must know your purpose before making other plans..."
He Yuzhu went out to deliver the message, and then brought him in to the manager.
As soon as he was outside, he greeted a group of people, and Shu Shu had already seen them.
He is in his forties, wearing a regular sixth-grade official uniform, and looks like an honest man.
The man knelt down as soon as he came in and saluted Shu Shu: "Slave Ma Jiafugui has met Fujin, please be kind to Master Fujin..."
Shu Shu blinked when he heard this familiar surname: "Master Ma, please rise. Listening to your surname, could it be related to the one with the blue flag?"
Ma Jiafugui kowtowed and said: "Serious tribesmen, it's just the slaves who have just returned from the country and joined the Baoyi Banner..."
Shu Shu motioned to He Yuzhu to help him up.
"Since you are not an outsider, sir, please sit down and talk!"
Shu Shu was reserved with a bit of politeness.
The Ma Jia family with the blue flag is the natal family of Fusong's stepmother.
It is common in the Eight Banners for descendants of the same family to be assigned to various banners due to different dates of submission.
Just like their Dong E clan, and the Zhengbai Banner Dong E clan where Queen Xiaoxian is located, are both branches of the same ancestor.
In the early years, the population multiplied and split into two adjacent tribes.
Among them, He Heli, the great grandfather of Shu Shu, led his troops to surrender before Emperor Taizu unified the state and subsequently conquered the world, which has the deepest foundation.
Queen Xiaoxian's great-grandfather Lunbu defected to Taizu after the founding of the country, which was regarded as "returning from the beginning of the country". Later, he became famous because he left the concubine's house.
In fact, He Heli and Lunbu were cousins with the same great-grandfather, so their blood lines were not too far apart.
The empress Xiaoxian and the concubine Shizuzhen who were buried were both of the same generation as Qi Xi and Shu Shu's clan aunt.
Since Ma Jiafugui pretended to be attached to Shu Shu, he probably also had this kind of relationship with Shu Shu's aunt, which could be said to be cousins, and they also had daily human relations.
Shu Shu ordered people to serve tea: "Although we met the first day, we are not far apart from each other. I wonder why you want to see me Fujin?"
Ma Jiafugui said respectfully: "I shouldn't have disturbed Fujin, but I often heard my third aunt mention Fujin. Knowing that Fujin was here today, I prepared some filial piety... They are all vulgar things, but they are just my intention..."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu looked at each other, and their eyebrows widened: "They all say that no merit will be rewarded, but since they are relatives, they are different from others, otherwise it will appear that this Fujin is not understanding of people and the world..."
Shu Shu said and picked up the tea.
When Ma Jiafugui saw him, he stood up and said, "Fu Jin and Jiu Ye are resting, I have some secular affairs to keep an eye on."
Shu Shu nodded and told He Yuzhu: "Master Dai and I will send you off with this Fujin..."
When the two of them went out, the young couple looked at the brocade package together.
"Is this rich man stupid? How can anyone bribe someone with a bald head and show off his dignity in broad daylight? Isn't this all in the eyes of others?"
Brother Ninth said with a bit of contempt: "Are you being too honest? This is unthinkable!"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "This is a truly smart person... Why did he pay a bribe when he was obviously just being filial? I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed. There's definitely not much money here. Do you want to make a bet with me..."
Brother Jiu reached out to untie the package: "I'm not stupid, why would I bet you this?"
Put a few things aside.
Things like swallow wings, abalone tripe, etc. inevitably have a taste.
Brother Jiu had a look of disgust on his face: "How could anyone give these as a gift? They stink!"
Shu Shu looked at everything carefully.
They are all high-quality ingredients, some of which are better than those in the imperial kitchen.
After buying these boxes of ingredients, you will get dozens of taels of silver.
Brother Jiu opened the box and took out the gold leaves inside: "They are all standing on edge. They look young and old, but they are very light... This box weighs only half a catty..."
Brother Jiu had disappointment on his face.
No matter who saw it, it would be hard to classify this as "bribery."
After all, the ingredients and gold leaves add up to a hundred or dozens of taels of silver.
Using this little money to bribe the prince and prince Fujin, isn't it a joke?
"Looking honest, I didn't expect him to be a slippery old fox!"
Brother Jiu threw the box aside and looked at Shu Shu: "What should I do? With such a mind, you don't need to guess to know that there are not big problems in his accounts. Even if he is a little greedy, there are many cover-up excuses..."
Shu Shu said: "I'm just investigating, not targeting anyone... No matter what, if you really want to act with caution like this, then the hole will probably be smaller, which is also a good thing..."
Shu Shu planned to support Brother Ninth in killing people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he was not going to attack indiscriminately. Those he offended would be gone.
Brother Ninth Brother was still unwilling to give in: "Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black. They are all in charge of the same job. I don't believe that the previous one was so greedy that he was so greedy that he would suck out the marrow. Let's invite Bai Wuguo... Besides, this is just a piece of paper." The styles of the walls are all the same..."
Seeing that he was turning the corner, Shu Shu pointed out: "Who are you to call the current rules, 'conformity' is popular, maybe the same is true in official circles... If you change your mind, maybe this person is an opportunity... I am your Fujin, I accept it Things, even if I have collected them...those who were hesitant about being filial before committing crimes, now that there is a precedent, there is no need to hesitate..."
