Next to the Eight Beile Mansion is the Four Beile Mansion.
The regulations of the two governments are the same and were created together.
In the main room, Si Fujin took the gift list and asked people to arrange and distribute it.
Fourth elder brother has returned from the Yamen and is sitting next to him having tea.
Seeing that the ermine skin occupied half of the car, Si Fujin smiled and praised Si Age: "The ninth brother and sister are very careful. This ermine skin is not as valuable as sable or silver fox, but it is still the best." It’s rare, but it’s even harder to buy some... We and Zhijun Prince’s Mansion will definitely share the most..."
The fourth elder brother nodded, having never dealt with this younger sibling.
Occasionally I heard that people should be filial to their mother-in-law and careful to their husbands.
But just by looking at the changes in Lao Jiu's behavior, one can tell that this ninth sibling is a virtuous person.
If he were as arrogant and unruly as Bafujin, he would have gained a bad reputation.
Si Fujin pointed to the rolls of black mink fur and said, "My cloak is from the year before last, and I will add another one this year..."
Brother Si said: "Two pieces, this is the material for two pieces, you can also make one..."
Si Fujin nodded and pointed to the first-class silver fox and red fox skins.
"Give these two to Li Gege and Song Gege..."
The fourth elder brother ignored the assignment and only warned: "These two cars of leather are worth a lot of money, and the other mansions should be similar. Lao Jiu and the others should go out, and the inventory should be almost... Remember it, when it comes to the New Year's gift, Think about how to make up for it... They spend a lot of time in the palace, so we, as brothers and sisters-in-law, can't take advantage..."
Si Fujin nodded and kept this in mind.

Xicheng, Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
Nowadays, the palace is very quiet, Dafujin is resting, and the eldest brother is by his wife's side.
The two masters did not show their faces, but the people below were performing their duties and seemed to be in good order.
The general affairs in the mansion were watched over by the nuns who came out of Yanxi Palace.
This old nanny is the old man next to Concubine Hui, and she looks serious.
No kid dares to waste money at this time.
Seeing that there was a cart of ermine leather goods on the gift list of Brother Jiu and his wife, Mammy breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly called the steward of the sewing room and gave careful instructions: "Put this cart away and buy some winter coats for the young masters..."
Dafu Jin had symptoms of illness after the Double Ninth Festival.
At that time, the people above and below prepared winter clothes, which were made according to the regulations.
Among the materials in the example, the winter coat is made of cotton, and the outside is made of satin or the like, with neither large nor small hair.
Therefore, the young masters were either wearing thick cotton-padded clothes or old leather jackets from last year or the year before.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
When children are growing up, they can also make clothes. The old clothes from last year may not fit well this year.
All of them looked pitiful.
Grandma looked like she was about to burst into tears.
But it is not good to buy leather clothes and other things with great fanfare at this time.
This housewarming gift solves an urgent need.

Sanbeile Mansion is on the same street as Prince Zhijun's Mansion.
In the past, it was built according to the regulations of the County Prince's Mansion, but now it can only bear the name of Baylor Mansion.
There are many places that exceed the regulations and should also be avoided.
The third elder brother was a little unhappy.
You must know that when he arranged the population of the banner vassal before, he also arranged it according to the configuration of the county prince's palace, so there were many high-level subordinates.
There are nineteen civil servants, ranging from the third grade to the eighth grade.
As a result, it became Baylor House, and there were only four civil servants.
Besides, military attachés can also serve as bodyguards.
There are fifteen people in the county palace, including six first-class guards, four second-class guards, and five third-class guards.
When we arrived at Baylor's Mansion, there were only ten guards, six second-class guards, and four third-class guards.
When he saw the gift list and realized that the housewarming gift prepared by Jiu Age and his wife was made of leather, he became paranoid.
I gave them eight cars before, and they came back with two cars.
Is this using your own things as a favor to yourself?
Who is the lake doing?
He was a bit petty and suspected that the Ninth Prince and his wife did this on purpose.
Was it because he disliked his lack of etiquette and was reluctant to prepare things for them as a housewarming gift, so he deliberately used Pizi Lake?
For others, it is not such a simple gift.
He ordered someone to take a few bags of leather and look at them carefully.
When I saw the mink skins, they were all rolls of high-quality sable fur material.
There are also rare silver fox skins among fox skins.
And they are all specially processed, as if specially purchased, not the unprocessed leather seized in the paddock.
He felt a little more comfortable and finally became sensible.
Otherwise, when he meets Lao Jiu later, he will definitely ask.
Who are you looking down on?
San Fujin was angry with Shu Shu in his heart.
The good prince Fujin is lost, why don't you feel unhappy?
The result was good. He made a face and ignored her, and she ignored him.
Who is the elder sister and who is the younger sister?
What happened to taking the initiative to bend down and say a few nice words?
Fortunately, he was the first to open his eyes for her in front of others and protect this cousin.
Just a snobbery.
Thinking of this, Sanfujin's face showed disgust.
"How long has it been since you gave me these materials? The winter is already half over..."
She started preparing her winter clothes as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She had plenty of money and bought all kinds of clothes, including big and small woolen clothes.
The third elder brother said: "If you don't need it, just take over the warehouse and look back and give some to Tian and the others..."
Sanfujin's face turned blue.
What's the point?
She, Fu Jin, doesn't make clothes, but Ge Ge does.
She said: "As for our eldest brother and second brother, they all need to wear new clothes for the New Year..."
The third elder brother frowned and said: "What are you kids doing preparing so many new clothes? My Majesty Khan admires frugality, and we don't want to be extravagant... Save them for the New Year to give gifts, and add one or two pieces here and there." The leather is also decent..."
He gave the order in a serious manner with a straight face.
San Fujin couldn't say anything, so he could only nod reluctantly.

Five Baylor Mansion, go to the upper room.
Wu Fujin rested crookedly.
I've been exhausted physically and mentally these past two days.
Perhaps she shouldn't have married into the royal family in the first place.
This blessing is too great for her to bear...
Grandma carefully held the pomegranate gem bonsai and said with joy: "Fu Jin, look, this is so festive, let's put it in the house..."
Flowerpots made of cloisonné enamel, branches made of gold and silver, pomegranates made of agate, and pomegranate leaves made of jasper.
Look at wealth and good fortune.
Wu Fujin nodded: "I think it's good too, so let's leave it at that..."
She looked down at her belly, hoping that with the good meaning, her dreams would come true sooner, and her life would not be so difficult...

Qibele Mansion.
Qi Fujin has always been generous. He took away two carts of good leather without asking anyone to take it away from the warehouse.
Instead, distribution was made.
She and Seventh Prince are on the same level.
Big brother and big princess are the second class.
Nala Gege, who gave birth to the eldest brother and the eldest brother, was a third-class child.
The other three childless princesses are the fourth class.
With a new home and a new atmosphere, of course you need to wear new clothes.
When the seventh elder brother came back and saw her distributing the skins, he told her: "Keep some and give one to Aunt Wang and the noble lady later..."
Although the Seventh Prince also accompanied the retinue this time, he only did two sieges and got some skins, but the quality was not as good as those specially purchased.
Qi Fujin smiled and glared at him: "Why did you ask me to do this? I had already reserved it... My husband and I used fox fur. Those rolls of sable fur are the material for two bodies. I will buy a copy tomorrow." I will bring it to you when the palace greets you, and when will we go next door to bring the other half..."
Qibele Mansion is right next to Prince Chun Mansion.
It is very convenient to enter and exit the two governments...

In the palace, there are two places in Qianxi.
Shu Shu gave the gift and put the matter down, not wanting to think about how everyone would react.
Anyway, she does it on her own, however she likes.
What she is currently concerned about is whether the donkey-hide gelatin and sea cucumber are of the highest quality.
After a while, Walnut came back from his stay at Tai Hospital.
Sea cucumbers and donkey-hide gelatin have been carefully inspected by Dr. Yin. They are all top-grade and can be used by pregnant women, especially sea cucumbers.
Stew one and eat it every day. It is a good nourishing food.
After hearing this, Shu Shu asked Walnut to split the two items into two pieces.
One plus two boxes of bird's nests were added to my parents' gift list, and the other was planned to be taken with me when I went to Yikun Palace to pay my respects tomorrow morning.
People do not blame.
There is also the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law. Even if they are treated differently in their hearts, they are always the same on the surface.
No one else can fault it.
Brother Jiu was listening, knowing that Shu Shu was going to send Aunt Qi and the others to Dutong Mansion tomorrow.
He asked for the gift list and saw that it contained leather and ginseng.
"Is the gift too thin? We also got a lot of goldware in Mongolia. Although the craftsmanship is rough, it is also simple and cute. Let's give it to a few brothers-in-law to play with..."
Shu Shu said: "I won't join you this time. I want to find a chance to go back before the year. I'll tell you then... whenever I think it's convenient..."
Although she is not a palace concubine, she does not have to be as deep as the sea as soon as she enters the palace, but she is not like an ordinary young daughter-in-law, who often returns to the province.
Brother Jiu thought about it carefully and said: "Forget it these days, it's a mess. Khan Ama feels uncomfortable. It's not good for us to ask for leave. Otherwise, we should have a good rest and talk about it in the twelfth lunar month..."
Shu Shu came out with a bit of disappointment on his face.
When Brother Ninth saw it, he was a little reluctant and said hurriedly: "I sent someone to Qintian Prison to get a date. The tenth brother's first engagement has to be brought forward. When the time comes, I told Khan Amma that you go out to help... "
Shu Shu naturally had no objection, but thinking about the eldest brother, she still reminded him: "If I are going to take care of it, I'd better choose the nearest date to avoid any changes..."
Brother Jiu reacted with hesitation on his face.
"It's not that the New Year is sad, there are still some days before the twelfth lunar month..."
Shu Shu shook her head gently and said: "If my sister-in-law's condition hadn't been so bad, Prince Zhi wouldn't have moved out without rest for a day..."
No one would be willing to move if there was even a glimmer of hope.
Living in the palace, it is convenient to call the imperial doctor and so on.
Nowadays, although the Zhijun Prince's Mansion also arranges for the imperial physician to be on duty, it is not as convenient as being in the palace.
Brother Jiu said sadly: "Okay, I understand..."
After a while, He Yuzhu came back from Qintian Prison.
Holding three pieces of red paper in hand.
There were three suitable for "combined marriage and engagement" years ago.
November 17th.
The second day of the twelfth lunar month.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Brother Jiu looked at these three days and felt a toothache.
It's definitely not possible on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. It's too far away, and it's the New Year's Eve, and it will be a mess.
November 17th, isn’t that the day after tomorrow?
This is simply too rushed.
To be honest, the second day of the twelfth lunar month is the best day in between.
There are still about twenty days to prepare.
But over at Zhijun Prince's Mansion...
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth and said: "Khan Ama also said as soon as possible, so seventeen will be fine..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "The regulations for the initial ceremony of the prince have been there for a long time, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sufficient manpower, so it should be fine..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu waved his hand to send Walnut and He Yuzhu down, and then whispered to Shu Shu in a low voice: "Don't follow the example of the previous prince..."
As he said this, he talked about the tenth prince’s initial ceremony and etiquette.
Shu Shu was a little surprised.
"What exactly do you think?"
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Didn't I just think of this when I saw the fifth sister-in-law in a difficult situation... The tenth brother and sister have married far away, and there is no natal family in Beijing to rely on. If the people in the palace are neglectful, the tenth brother will be hurt. Face……"
With lessons learned from the past, he thought more carefully.
Shu Shu was silent.
In this case, will the brothers in front be offended?
You know, whether it is the eldest brother, the eldest son of the emperor, or the fourth brother raised by the queen, or the fifth brother raised by the queen mother, the engagement and wedding are all the same, and they are not any higher than others.
Although the identity of the tenth prince is here, it is reasonable to wait, but in the end it is eye-catching.
Brother Jiu whispered: "I'm thinking about it, I can't hide this. If I don't mention Zhang Luo, just think of it as Khan Ama's grace..."
What he was thinking about was not fear of offending his brothers or anything like that, but a simple comparison.
The meaning of organizing for the ten elder brothers is different from that of Khan Amma organizing for the ten elder brothers.
Let others know that it was Khan Amma who "took the initiative" to give the first engagement ceremony to the tenth prince. Knowing that the son of a noble concubine has a different weight in Khan Amma's heart, he will also look at the old tenth brother with a high regard.
He was afraid that Shu Shu wouldn't understand, so he simply explained the reason.
Shu Shu was surprised and nodded quickly: "I have thought carefully about it, I didn't even think of this..."
Brother Ninth was embarrassed by the praise: "What's the point? It's just drawing inferences from one example. I'm not a fool..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu with a smile.
This is such a good brother.
He is also a good brother.
When the fifth elder brother encounters a problem, he goes to help solve it without opening his mouth.
The tenth elder brother has not encountered any difficulties yet. He, as an elder brother, wants to nip problems in the bud.
Loyalty is true loyalty.
Worrying is really worrying.
I'm afraid that this loyalty will also fall on the Eighth Prince in the future.
This must be guarded against.
Shu Shu felt that she still had to tighten her grip on the hoe and couldn't relax too much...
