That night, the tenth elder brother and the ninth elder brother were going to sleep together.
Shu Shu worked hard for several days and wished she could have a good rest alone, wishing she could support her with both hands and feet.
Brother Ninth had a look of displeasure on his face and muttered to Shu Shu: "Old Ten is so old, he still acts like a child. Forget it, why would today be his birthday? The birthday boy is the biggest..."
That’s what I’m talking about.
Just by looking at the grin on his lips, you could tell that he was in a good mood.
I am very happy to be close to my brother.
When the eunuch made the bed, the brothers' quilts were placed next to each other.
Brother Ninth felt nostalgic: "I remember, we used to sleep together when we were children. How old were we when we were separated?"
"It's almost ten..."
Brother Ten said vaguely, but he actually remembered it clearly in his heart.
It was after the third day of November in the thirty-third year.
He stopped making trouble to sleep with Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu came over with pillows in his arms, and he also made excuses to chase people away.
Because in those days, he always woke up crying while sleeping, for fear of scaring Brother Ninth.
Brother Jiu didn't expect that much, he only said with nostalgia: "We have grown up in the blink of an eye. Sometimes I can't believe it. We still think that we are children..."
The tenth elder brother sat cross-legged, looking at the nineth elder brother who had fallen over, with a serious look on his face.
"Brother Ninth, my brother agreed to what you said that day..."
"What's the matter? What should you do? Isn't this kang head a bit hot..."
Brother Jiu felt the warmth of the fire and answered casually.
Brother Ten patted his chest and said, "I promise Brother Ninth, you can choose any son you want..."
"ah?"
Brother Jiu remembered the scene when he was crying and embarrassed, and felt a little embarrassed.
"It's not like you're just picking a baby, you're just picking one at random, as if you can have a whole house..."
The tenth elder brother raised his arm: "Brother, I have a strong body, and it will be a matter of morning and evening when I am in the house. I will teach you well when the time comes, and I will definitely be obedient. As for this good-looking person..."
He hesitated.
"It's hard to say this. The concubine doesn't look like a beauty. Concubine Abahai came to court a few years ago, and she just looked upright..."
This concubine refers to Concubine Duanshun, who was born in Abahai and is the great-aunt of the fiancée of the tenth prince.
Concubine Abahai is the grandmother of the tenth prince’s fiancée.
Although his fiancée has been dating a few years ago and officially got married this year, the two have not met yet.
The tenth prince has no expectations for his fiancée's appearance.
"If it doesn't work, let Concubine Yi's mother point two beautiful girls to the third house?"
Although there is a certain quality in the third house, it was chosen by Princess Duanshun. She can only be described as having a straight head and a straight face, and a little bit of dark skin.
Such a biological mother cannot give birth to Yuxue's lovely child.
The ninth elder brother frowned and said: "Don't be fooling around. Before the legitimate son is born, you are still thinking about the concubine... If we rarely come out, wouldn't it be easier to just hug the fifth brother's eldest brother? In that case, it can also reduce the burden on the fifth brother. Trouble, my lady, please stop worrying..."
Brother Ten touched his chin.
"I didn't expect you, Brother Ninth, to still care about this..."
Today's division of concubines and concubines is a bit strange.
Each has its own algorithm.
The clan and the Eight Banners nobles still followed the old Manchu custom. The children of the direct Fujin and side Fujin were all direct descendants and were ennobled together.
When maids and concubines are in the same room, the children born from the younger wives are either concubines or concubines, and they are either demoted to a few levels of nobility, or the title is terminated.
If the ancestry of a foreign son is unknown, he is not allowed to enter the family tree or household registration. Even if he is identified, he must have a different name to distinguish him from other sons.
It's almost the same in the palace.
Khan Amma has promoted Confucianism in recent years, but he has not completely abandoned the old Manchu customs.
The brothers in the palace were divided into several levels.
The prince is first class.
Next is the son of the noble concubine and the fourth concubine.
Then came the concubines.
Then there are the concubines.
Among them, the seventh prince is an exception.
Although she was neglected when she was young, she was treated similarly to other concubines when she returned to the palace.
Just because there is an extra princess and adoptive mother.
However, in the palace, it has always been said that "son is more valuable than mother" and "mother is more valuable than son". The concubine and the prince made each other successful.
Currently, the only people who are truly treated as concubine princes are the twelfth elder brother, the fifteenth elder brother, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother.
Brother Jiu said: "No matter who gives birth to him, he is still my nephew. What is there to care about? Your sister-in-law doesn't like it... Dong E's house is simple, so he probably can't stand these concubines and concubines... "
The tenth prince thought of his biological mother, who was depressed during her lifetime.
He lamented: "It's not easy to be a woman, just wandering around in a place as big as a palm... It would be okay if there were fewer people, but if the husband's concubines were standing in front of him one by one, and there were all the bastards and bastards all over the floor, Girl, I feel like drinking Coptis chinensis, even good people are frightened..."
The ninth elder brother glanced at the tenth elder brother: "Then according to what you said, the empress in the palace lived a hard life?"
None of the ladies can live alone in a palace, there are some noble people who have agreed to live with them.
The tenth prince nodded.
"Isn't that so? If nothing else, let's just compare one's feelings with one's own. Brother Jiu, if you and Sister-in-law Jiu were to change, you would see Sister-in-law Jiu's two young men in the yard every day, and they would have red lips and white teeth. You wouldn't be able to bear it. Can you bear it?"
Brother Jiu heard this and gritted his teeth.
"Young man, you have red lips and white teeth, what a beautiful idea?! If that's true, I will chop that young man into minced meat and feed it to the dog, and then put it into the dog's belly..."
After saying that, he felt unhappy: "Don't give random examples. What man can bear this? Besides, your sister-in-law is chaste, quiet and virtuous, and she is not that kind of person..."
Brother 10 hesitated for a moment, thinking he needed to remind him.
"Anyway, Brother Ninth, remember, men can't stand this, and neither can strong women..."
Brother Ninth fell silent.
Shushu had a sound sleep all night and had a great sleep.
She burned her feet and lay down when it was almost time for her to wake up. When she opened her eyes, it was already dawn.
Xiaoyu stood behind her and helped her comb her hair. When she saw this, she also said: "Gege looks so good..."
Shu Shu nodded, with lingering fears.
I don’t dare to endure it anymore.
Otherwise, it won’t just be Brother Jiu who loses.
Yin deficiency is also deficiency.
While talking, Xiaoyu braided her hair and tied it up.
Shu Shu looked in the mirror and said, "Wear some jewelry..."
She usually doesn't like luxury, but it's different today.
There is a small banquet today.
Xiaoyu looked at Shu Shu's clothes, wearing a silver-red cloak, and picked out a coral flower and two hairpins with pomegranate straps.
"Fu Jin, are these okay?"
Shu Shu's eyes fell on the pomegranate hairpin and said: "Put this away. Don't wear it for the next few years..."
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's expression tightened, and she carefully put away the pomegranate hairpins and replaced them with a pair of wishful hairpins.
Ninth Prince’s body…
What the outside world knows is not true...
The girls around Shu Shu were vaguely aware of it.
But I am so good...
Xiaoyu's eye circles are red...
They were all born servants, so they couldn't help but feel sad when they knew about Mrs. Bo's life.
Shu Shu looked at the mirror and looked back, "Sister Xiaoyu, it's not like this. How old am I? Little brother and little princess will have it in the future..."
No one else knows about Brother Ninth Brother's condition, doesn't Shu Shu know about it?
Having children in the future will not be a problem.
The question is whether I can give birth to myself.
Shu Shu also thought about it before.
Between the princes' elder brother and prince Fujin, there are few legitimate children.
It may not all be because the couple is not in love, but it may be more of a problem of genetic origin.
Most of the princes brother and prince Fujin in front of them have overlapping bloodlines.
According to biology, it is not conducive to the reproduction of offspring.
The banquet tonight is not a birthday banquet for the tenth prince, nor a birthday banquet for Shu Shu, but to celebrate the Golden Festival in advance.
Sixty-three years ago, Emperor Taizong issued an edict on October 13th to amend the clan name to "Manchu".
Before that, it was the Jurchens.
And according to different places of residence, they are divided into three major groups: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Yeren Jurchen.
Each major tribe is divided into several small tribes.
They all claim to be kings and fight for superiority, kill each other, the strong bully the weak, and the masses tyrannize the few.
Emperor Taizu unified the Jurchens.
Emperor Taizong fused the Jurchens and created Manchuria.
This day is one of the biggest festivals of the Eight Banners.
Before, I traveled eighty to one hundred and twenty miles every day, staying in palaces on the road at intervals.
Because I had to celebrate the festival in advance today, I only walked forty miles and checked into the palace at noon.
In the name of himself and the tenth brother, the ninth elder brother asked He Yuzhu to send two hundred taels of silver to the primary school in the Hujun Camp to buy pigs, sheep and the like.
This is already outside the pass. Most of the soldiers and civilians on both sides are old households, and the population is not as dense as in the pass.
More of them are Guantian and Guanzhuang.
In this way, purchasing will be much more convenient.
After walking to several villages, I bought five pigs and twenty sheep.
On Shu Shu's side, there are more than 80 people in service, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, imperial doctors, guards, etc. in total.
Only one pig and two sheep were left, and the rest were sent to the guard camp.
On this afternoon, the camp outside the palace was extremely lively.
The pig is directly roasted in a big pot, and the sheep is roasted whole.
All in one meal.
Xiaotang came in with a platter of offal from Xiao Zao Lu, and followed Shu Shu to describe the scene outside.
"Such a big fat piece of meat, just dip it in the sauce and eat it. I'm sick of it just looking at it..."
Shu Shu picked up a piece of pork liver and marinated it. There was no fishy smell of organs, so it tasted good.
Her little day is coming, replenish her blood.
She is a female family member and does not need to show up.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother went to the Hujun camp for a walk.
When Brother Jiu came back, the dining table here was also set.
In addition to the platter, there are also boiled plum pork, cumin mutton slices, and grilled lamb chops.
After the dining table was cleared, Shu Shu asked Brother Jiu a question: "Isn't there any meat in the daily ration at the army camp?"
These days, the guards eat and drink with them.
Shu Shu also knew that the food for the guards was uniformly rationed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the standard was not low. Even the third-class guards had one pound of pork every day.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Only the Eight Banners vests are served with meat during wartime. That is also a reward, not a routine. On weekdays, it is a monthly salary of four taels of silver and a monthly salary of sixteen dou..."
Brother Ten also said: "There is a lot of supply. One vest can feed a family of young and old..."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Everyone is so grateful. I am thinking of you. Those jars of sauces of yours have satisfied their cravings. Otherwise, they would just make some bean paste stew or something..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's too cold outside, just to prevent someone from getting cold..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "This soup is better than soju... In order to prevent frostbite and frostbite, the army used to prepare soju, but the drunkards tried their best to appropriate it..."
Khan Ama asked about the sauce last time he ate Yi noodles...
