Because he promised to go to Mrs. Taiji's house tomorrow morning, Shu Shu told Brother Jiu about the origin of the two.
"What a coincidence. I originally wanted to take you to see your father-in-law after breakfast tomorrow..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
Even Shu Shu felt annoyed and reluctant to give up this opportunity, and then said: "I'll go for a spin and come back..."
They are not relatives. Even if they are connected by blood, they are no different from strangers.
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch, looked at it, thought for a while, and said: "If you come back before now, we will go visit my father-in-law. If you are delayed, forget it... When we get to my eldest sister's place in a few days, we will stay for two days... …I can spare half a day then…”
Shu Shu felt that it was better to hurry up and not be late. Who knew that there would be nothing to delay by then.
"I'm going there right now. Half an hour is enough. At most, I just want to listen to the old man talk about ancient times. There shouldn't be anything serious..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but think of the old county master of Haraqin.
She kept all the house deeds, land deeds and village deeds in the capital given by the old county lord.
This is compensation to Amou.
Doesn’t this great-aunt from Taiji Mansion also have some unfulfilled wishes?
When you were young, you were arrogant and didn't like to interact with your family members who were expelled from your family. But when you are old, do you regret it? ŴŴŴ.
Apart from this, Shu Shu could not guess anything else.
But even if I really regret it, it’s not my turn to be the middle man.
This aunt's son was in the capital and married Da Gege of Prince Xian's palace and became Heshuo's consort.
Mostly just chattering and asking old friends.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "When the time comes, come back first and change into riding clothes. Let's go out on horseback and take Lao Ten and Thirteen with us. We will walk around the Zhenghongqi camp. My father-in-law will know what it means... When others ask, he will I said I dragged you out..."
"Wouldn't it be too intrusive..."
Shu Shu hesitated.
She has such a personality that she doesn't like to trouble others.
If only she and the ninth elder brother are good, no matter what you say, you still have to torment the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
"What's the matter? Today, the tenth and thirteenth brothers are greedy to see the boss shoot live targets... We don't have to take him with us, but we still have to go out and shoot rabbits..."
At this point, Brother Jiu also became interested: "We also brought bows. Remember the jumping rabbit that I mentioned before? There is that one here. I saw someone feeding the eagle with that one in the afternoon, saying that he was catching it nearby. Yes, when the time comes we will also grab this and make a writing brush..."
Shu Shu felt that the scene was bloody and couldn't accept it, and said: "Didn't you say you can't eat it? It would be too cruel to just use the tail. Let's hunt rabbits..."
Brother Jiu glanced at her with dissatisfaction: "You have practiced archery for so many years, haven't you ever shot at a live target? You are so soft-hearted, what else can you do? I'm afraid that if the rabbit is placed in front of you, you won't be able to shoot it. Get rid of it?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Don't underestimate me, I followed Amma to shoot rabbits when I was ten years old... I also shot quails and turtle doves..."
At that time, I was innocent and thought it was fun, and I proudly followed my elders to show off my archery skills.
Now, it’s a bit difficult to take action.
As your mind grows, your heart will really soften.
It just feels unnecessary, as if people are becoming fake compassionate.
"Really? You're not fooling me, are you? Then if you can't do anything to the jumping rabbit, how can you do it to the rabbit?"
Brother Ninth expressed his doubts.
Shu Shu said: "The ingredients are different...otherwise if you can't bear it and the other one can't bear it, everyone will have no choice but to follow the vegetarian diet..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh and said: "This is the first time I have heard such a truth... After all, you are still too cowardly and not hard-hearted enough..."
Shu Shu didn't argue with him and urged him to change his clothes.
The smell of smoke and fire all over the body is very smoky if it is not cleaned up.
The hot water has been prepared a long time ago. Brother Jiu washed himself, wiped himself, and changed into clean clothes.
The young couple lay down on the kang.
Shu Shu was inconvenienced, so Brother Jiu didn't bother her. He put his arms around her waist, and the couple fell asleep in a deep sleep.
Have a good sleep.
Early the next morning, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu woke up early.
Breakfast is delivered from the kitchen in the house, a mixed breakfast.
Mongolian milk tea, hand-made meat, and fried noodles and fruits; Manchu-style sticky dumplings, pickled melon seeds, and Cuihua pickles.
Brother Jiu took two sips of milk tea, and said to Shu Shu with disgust: "This is still Taiji Mansion, the tea is not good... There is no tea fragrance at all, it smells like a warehouse..."
Shu Shu also drank milk tea and felt fine.
Make milk tea, multi-purpose brick tea.
The best tea leaves are rarely made into brick tea.
Brick tea is mostly made from old leaves.
After Brother Jiu finished complaining, he looked at the tea cup and asked Shu Shu, "What do you think the sales will be like if good tea comes in?"
"The Mongolian prince is not short of money, so it should be easy to sell... But if I think of this, I am afraid that the previous tea merchants have already thought of this... It is not that there is no good tea in Taiji Mansion, most of them are used to using brick tea to make milk tea..."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said.
"Good tea is also divided into three, six and nine grades..."
Brother Jiu came over and whispered: "When you return to Beijing, you will ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to Fujian to order spring tea... Next year our teahouse will be open and the teahouse will be opened. Let's see if we can sell these teas Sold to tea merchants..."
Shu Shu felt that this was a bit taken for granted.
The big tea merchant is richer than the couple, so he still needs to buy tea from the second-hand dealer?
However, Shu Shu did not refute, but responded: "Well, I will listen to my arrangement..."
Let’s take this step first.
It's not easy to dampen his enthusiasm.
After the couple finished their breakfast and estimated that it would be a quarter of an hour until Chenzheng arrived, Shu Shu dressed up and took Walnut and Xiaosong to the backyard.
The middle road of Taiji Mansion has been set aside to welcome the Holy Emperor.
Shu Shu inquired with the old woman yesterday and learned that Mrs. Tai Ji lives in the yard at the back.
After walking a few steps, we arrived at the backyard.
The old grandma was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, greeting Shu Shu with a blessing as she entered.
In the room, in addition to Mrs. Taiji, Taiji was also there, sitting on a four-wheeler, smiling and looking very loving.
After greeting the two of them and seeing clearly the layout of the room, Shu Shu was quite surprised.
Because usually when couples get older, they sleep separately.
Perhaps it was because the old couple had a good relationship, or Taiji had difficulty taking care of his legs and feet, but the couple obviously lived together.
After hearing about the relationship between his old wife and Shu Shu, Taiji also got a little closer: "I ate lamb legs yesterday, and my sister kept praising me... I went to my sister's place for dinner this morning and ate a lot of delicious food. , I heard that this kid came up with the menu..."
The old man smiled from ear to ear and said: "No wonder it's so painful. It turns out to be our own child. He is following my wife and has outstanding talents..."
Mrs. Taiji said: "Even if the master talks too much, I can only drink three glasses of wine tonight, not more..."
There was a bit of regret on Taiji's face: "I haven't seen the smell of alcohol in half a month... It's rare to have a good day..."
Mrs. Taiji said sternly: "Master, I forgot what the doctor said last time...if you drink any more, you will fall asleep one day..."
Taiji laughed "haha" and said: "That can't be done. Madam is here, so there is nothing to worry about..."
Mrs. Taiji said angrily: "I don't know how sorry I am for you. How old am I? I dare not close my eyes night after night, just for fear that someone will not notice me. I am holding my breath..."
Taiji immediately begged for mercy: "It was my fault. I will listen to my wife, and I will listen to my wife..."
Mrs. Taiji urged him: "Didn't you say that you want to play chess with the emperor? Master, please go and leave the greeting gift..."
Taiji smiled and said to Shu Shu: "Good girl, my great-aunt doesn't want to show any filial piety. I just brought the chili seasoning last night. I wonder if there is any left? If so, think about leaving some for my great-aunt..."
Shu Shu stood up and responded: "There are still some, but not much. I'll ask someone to send them over later... When I get back to Beijing and I have some rich ones, I'll ask someone to send them to my consort..."
The "brother-in-law" in Shu Shu's mouth is the legitimate son of the two. Now he is working as an errand in the capital. He should be called cousin or cousin, but he has no intention of reaching a higher level.
Taiji smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, that's great..."
The old man was satisfied and asked a servant who had just grown his hair to push him out.
Mrs. Taiji then called Shu Shu to sit down by the kang, with a loving look on her face: "Good boy, were you scared yesterday?"
Shu Shu said with a bit of suppleness: "It's really unexpected. I've never heard Enie mention it before at home..."
Mrs. Taiji smiled bitterly and said: "I guess your grandma has never told you... your mother-in-law probably doesn't know that I am your biological aunt here..."
Shu Shu was silent.
In fact, according to the patriarchal tradition, Mrs. Tai Ji has been adopted into Prince Zheng's Mansion, so she is indeed not considered a girl from the Jueluo family.
Mrs. Tai Ji let out a breath: "Your great-grandmother gave birth to three of us brothers and sisters. Your eldest grandfather did not stop and died before anything happened at home...
When something happened to your great-grandfather, your great-grandmother also passed away within half a year. I was only three years old at the time...
Your grandpa was only ten years old at the time, and there was really no one to take care of him at home, so I was taken in by Tai Fujin to be raised...
But Tai Fujin never stopped me from going home. He always sent me back to see my brother every ten and a half months...
Ten years later, when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, your grandfather got married. Your grandma is also a cousin of yours. We have known each other since childhood. The couple is living happily together, and their lives are getting better and better...
As a result, your grandpa seemed to have a seizure and insisted on selling off his family property...
At that time, although our clan had been expelled from the clan, all our property was still there...
I asked people to inquire, and it turned out that he was taken into gambling, and most of his wealth was lost...
Your grandma was still a new daughter-in-law back then. She couldn't stop her, so she told me, thinking that I would stop her..."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Taiji smiled bitterly: "I was young at the time and had a bad temper. I tried to persuade him twice but it didn't work. Everyone in sight was going to be crippled, so I asked someone to beat him directly...
Unexpectedly, by mistake, he injured his leg...
Only then did I find out that there was something behind his gambling. It turned out that the Duo of the Guo Luoluo family had promised him that he could be enlisted in the army and follow the general Wang Yuele to fight against Khalkha and perform meritorious service. In exchange for his merits, he could return to the clan. …
He also said that the emperor said that Prince An would go to the Zongren Mansion after his class...
Your grandpa wanted to establish a career, so he wanted to climb up to Prince An's palace. Most of the lost money and property were actually given to Nei Duo..."
Shu Shu was dumbfounded.
Nedor...
The cousin, brother-in-law and in-laws of Prince Anhe, and the grandfather of Bafujin.
Mrs. Taiji continued: "I injured his leg and broke his possibility of following Khalkha. He hated me to the core, and the brother and sister broke up...
Then my decree came down, and he sent all your great-grandmother's dowry to him, saying that he would divide it up and never see each other again in this life...
I was also arrogant at the time, thinking that because he spoke so harshly, he was reluctant to give me money...
It is said that 'nurturing kindness is better than giving birth to kindness'. I have been adopted by Prince Zheng's family in the genealogy. With the dowry from the palace, I will not be greedy for other things, and I have nothing to do with him in the first place..."
At this point, the old man had no tears, but regret lingered around him.
Shu Shu felt sad listening to it.
How can a teenage girl be so considerate in everything?
But from my grandfather's point of view, after hearing my sister's words, he must have thought that he was being disliked.
Both siblings are too young.
However, gambling...
Is it a coincidence?
Shu Shu felt a little weird inexplicably, and for some reason he thought of Bafujin's father.
He also died of gambling and was executed by national law.
She glanced at the old lady and said nothing.
The old lady twitched her lips: "No matter whether he recognizes me as his sister or not, he is still my brother. I can't just watch him being bullied..."
This is real? !
Comfortably showing surprise.
The old lady seemed to understand what she was thinking and nodded: "You are right, Neduo's youngest son and Prince An's son-in-law are the people I arranged to take the gamble with...
They caused my brother to lose all his money and die in depression. How could I watch them enjoy their prosperity and wealth...
It's so wicked. The two families are related by marriage and are very close to each other on weekdays. Just to seek property, I kidnapped your grandfather to gamble and deceived him with military records...
I asked people to inquire clearly. That time, Xianglan Banner did not recruit any new soldiers at all...
If everyone had a similar family background, it would be a trap. But at that time, the family's clan status had been eliminated, and the future of the descendants was cut off. Apart from the family property passed down from the ancestors, what else was there? "
Shu Shu nodded, feeling unkind.
And also bold.
You must know that at that time, several of her grandfather's biological uncles were restored to their clan status, and they were also granted the title of Duke of Beizi. They were not rootless duckweeds.
The immediate family members all knew that the eldest family member's direct family members were rich, but they didn't reach out, because they knew that this was the foundation for the eldest family member's children and grandchildren to settle down and live in peace.
It would be too much for an in-law to coax him. All he relied on was that Prince An's palace was very prominent at that time.
This is what happened over the past forty years...
Shu Shu couldn't guess the old lady's intention and said bluntly: "Are you telling your granddaughter that you want your granddaughter to transfer these to me and my uncle?"
Mrs. Taiji nodded and said, "It's been a long time since your grandfather's events happened, and I guess not many people remember them... But it's been more than ten years since Ming Shang's kid's incident, so it's hard to guarantee that someone will know the clues about that year, so it's better to have a good idea. …”
Shu Shu was also helpless.
Even if Prince An's palace is not as powerful now as it was then, it is still the palace, and my uncle's family is nothing.
Putting the two families in one place is really not the same thing.
