It was Youchu when everyone came out of Zhijun Prince's Mansion, and the sky was dark.
Sifujin and his sisters-in-law were chatting in the carriage without wasting time.
She directly ordered people to go to Di'anmen and sent Shu Shu to the gate of the imperial city.
For this reason, the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother also came over.
When they arrived at Di'anmen, the three sisters-in-law got out of the carriage and were very reluctant to leave.
They all held hands and each said a few words before they dispersed.
Shu Shu changed the carriage, and Wu Fujin also returned to his carriage.
The fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were riding horses.
Seeing the appearance of their sisters-in-law, the two brothers looked at each other in confusion.
Looking at her like that, I thought I hadn’t seen him for three to five years.
Brother Jiu knows the reason.
Knowing that Shu Shu was doing it as a gift, I was going to ask my sisters-in-law for advice today, so I didn't look at it in a sour way.
Seeing him getting out of Sifujin's car, he understood that this was his sister-in-law's teaching.
It is indeed more suitable than Wufujin.
The experience of Wufujin is not as good as that of Sifujinzu.
He also had a very good impression of Si Fujin, and became closer to his two elder brothers. He said, "My younger brother bought persimmon frost and orange red a few days ago. They are all for current use. I will ask someone to send some to my two elder brothers' houses later." …”
The fourth elder brother also heard about it and knew that the ninth elder brother sent people around to buy tribute.
He frowned and said with disapproval: "Just buy a few things. There are many people waiting, so leave some room for others!"
Even if these local specialties are not clearly marked with prices, they are actually being circulated privately.
There are many choices for the palaces of princes and lords.
The ninth elder brother already knows the fourth elder brother's problem, that is, he cannot say good things well.
He felt that he was becoming more and more generous and did not care about the fourth elder brother. He nodded and said: "It's almost done. I haven't purchased a few things..."
Besides, the few things he asked people to choose were food and drink, which were not that valuable compared to other tributes.
The fifth elder brother said: "Only orange is enough. Empress Shishuang and her younger siblings gave it to them first..."
Brother Ninth also wrote it down.
Everyone dispersed.
Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother entered Di'anmen, the fourth elder brother and his wife went north, and the fifth elder brother and his wife wanted to bypass the imperial city and go southeast.
The thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother were in a carriage.
Thinking of Shu Shu getting off Si Fujin's carriage just now, the Fourteenth Brother felt a little unsure. He whispered to the Thirteenth Brother in a low voice: "Okay, how come Ninth Sister got off the Fourth Sister's carriage?"
Brother Thirteen glanced at him and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's not normal to get close to him."
Brother Fourteen curled his lips and said: "It's only half a month, why has it been so long? It's not a complaint, right? You're saying bad things about me?"
When the fourth sister-in-law tells the fourth brother, the fourth brother will be verbose again.
Brother Thirteen frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, Sister-in-law Ninth is not that kind of person!"
The fourteenth elder brother hummed softly: "I'm not a generous person anyway. I don't like to talk to others for no reason."
Brother Thirteen said unhappily: "Why didn't you pay any attention to you? I gave you rice dumplings a few days ago, and I also gave you eight-treasure rice today. Whose stomach did it end up in? If you say bad things about people again, then don't eat them next time. !”
Brother Fourteen said uncomfortably: "Who is calling me generous? I am not a small-minded person. I bring you good food. I eat it to give them face!"
Brother Thirteen shook his head and said, "If you continue to be so ungrateful, I'll say hello to Sister-in-law Ninth and don't give away anything."
The Thirteenth Brother felt that he was the one who was petty. Before, the Fourteenth Brother had these little problems and he didn't care about them and didn't take them to heart. But now he is getting more and more annoyed.
While he was talking, the Shenwu Sect arrived.
Everyone got off the carriage.
Shu Shu also wore her mask tightly.
The same goes for Ninth Prince.
The tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother got off the carriage.
The twelfth brother's foot is almost healed, but he doesn't dare to neglect it, for fear that if it happens again, the fracture in his arm will take some time to heal.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, with heavy snowfall, falling injuries are common.
Others were not surprised when he went out like this.
Brother Jiu helped Shu Shu tie up the hood.
Brother Fourteen thought for a while, came over and said to Brother Ninth: "Good Brother Ninth, thanks to your care a few days ago, my brother caused you trouble. If you have any objectionable words first, please don't follow me." My younger brother is always worried, but we should still be fine..."
Brother Jiu was confused when he heard this: "That's fine, why do you remember that you can't apologize at this time? How long has it been?"
Brother Fourteen glanced at Shu Shu and said with a smile: "Isn't this because I'm afraid that Brother Ninth will hold a grudge and tell Sister-in-law Ninth not to prepare food for my brother..."
Before the ninth elder brother could speak, Shu Shu had stopped, looked at the fourteenth elder brother and said, "Who is elder brother, and who is ninth master?"
The fourteenth elder brother was a little confused and said: "I am the little fourteenth brother, and the ninth brother is the ninth brother..."
Shu Shu looked at the fourteenth elder brother and said: "My elder brother is a prince, and we, the ninth master, are also princes. We are not the chief stewards around you. We are left to your orders! As for the words of Concubine De's mother, we have never agreed. We I am still young, how can I take care of others?"
Brother Fourteen blushed: "That's what I said, don't take it to heart. I'm so old, I don't need anyone to take care of me..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I see that my elder brother has rules and regulations. He is indeed a big boy..."
At this point, seeing the Thirteenth Brother beside her, she couldn't help but mention: "According to me, it's easy for me to stand up. If I hold the Thirteenth Brother around, I can be independent when I need to." , show off your brother’s style, turn around to the fifteenth and sixteenth brothers, you are also a good brother..."
After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Brother Fourteen to respond.
Today during the Laba Festival, the palace’s large dining room cooked eight-treasure porridge.
In the second dining room, Shu Shu did not ask anyone to prepare porridge, but instead asked someone to make eight-treasure rice.
I took a few bites before going out. It was sweet and glutinous and very delicious.
If it gets late later, you can ask someone to order another one.
Brother Jiu followed beside him and complained: "Why are you saying these things outside? It feels uncomfortable to eat the cold wind..."
The tenth elder brother and the twelfth elder brother followed silently.
Sister-in-law Jiu was angry just now, right? !
Even those who don’t hit or scold make people’s hearts tremble.
The Fourteenth Brother had an unhappy face, looked at Shu Shu's back, and said to the Thirteenth Brother: "What does Sister-in-law Ninth mean? Who thinks Brother Ninth is the big boss? And the last sentence, it's my fault for being involved." You moved with me? That’s what Khan Amma said, what does it have to do with me?”
Brother Thirteen looked at Shu Shu's back, shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth doesn't mean that, she just thinks you're not too young anymore, so you might as well learn to be an older brother."
The fourteenth elder brother snorted softly: "I'm not a fool, and I can't hear nice words! Why are they so young? You are already married adults, so you can't be a good brother and sister-in-law. Why do you care about me!"
The Thirteenth Brother couldn't bring himself to talk about Shu Shu, so he warned: "Anyway, don't provoke Ninth Brother in the future, Queen Yikun Palace is here!"
The thirteenth brother heard about the quarrel between Concubine Yi and Concubine De.
The people around Brother Fourteen have changed. They are honest and honest, but no one dares to say anything. He still doesn't know it at all.
The fourteenth elder brother glanced at the thirteenth elder brother: "You are still talking about me. Doesn't this also mean that you are talking about the elders?"
Brother Thirteen was so tired that he closed his mouth and didn't want to talk anymore.

Two institutes.
Just freshen up and put it on later.
A bowl of eight-treasure rice, Shu Shu divided it into two portions and kept most of it for herself, while Brother Jiu only had two spoons.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu advised: "It's hard to melt sticky rice, so you should eat less..."
Shu Shu said: "It's okay, I'll take a walk to eat in a while..."
Thinking of what Wu Fujin mentioned, Shu Shu said it again and reminded: "Everyone from the Jin family has joined the Shenxing Department. Be careful that the Guo Luoluo family comes to find you..."
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "Didn't you hear it? Only the eldest aunt showed up, and our eldest uncle didn't say a word at all... Guo Luoluo's family? Huh! If you really come to me, how can I think highly of you? At first glance, I didn’t even dare to ask, either because I was guilty and afraid of finding out some shortcomings; or I was cold-blooded and worried about being implicated..."
But that's not someone else's family, it's Uncle Guo Luoluo's family.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt that this was true.
It's just that the latter is okay. They know that their family is cold, so they will be more affectionate in the future.
If it's the former...
"It won't implicate the empress, right?"
Shu Shu was a little worried.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Don't worry, E Niang has done everything openly and there won't be any shortcomings."

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Looking at the eight-treasure porridge on the table and thinking of the eight-treasure rice mentioned by Liang Jiugong, Kangxi felt uninterested.
He is really a child at heart and not smart enough.
What's the use of paying filial piety to Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace?
Brother Jiu doesn't understand the world. Shouldn't Dong E be there to advise and give advice? Why should he follow him and make a fool of himself?
He is obviously a child who should be generous and polite, but he is really the one who is in the dark!
After the dining table was cleared, Kangxi looked at the draft list of rewards for clan members.
Brother Ninth ranked second to last.
This time the silver reward is divided into four levels.
A first-class prince, six thousand taels.
The second level of the county king, five thousand taels.
Beile and Beizi, third grade, three thousand taels.
The fourth grade of the Duke of the State, one thousand taels.
The princes and elder brothers who have been knighted should actually be classified into the second and third classes.
The ninth and tenth princes who have not been knighted should follow the fourth class.
But because he is the prince's elder brother, he "follows the king's rules".
This king is the prince of the eldest brother.
So they are all counted in the second grade.
Kangxi picked up the pen and wanted to tick off the name of the ninth elder brother and let him go to the fourth class honestly!
However, his eyes stopped for a moment on the name of the tenth elder brother, and then he remembered what Liang Jiugong had mentioned in the afternoon.
"Er Suo ordered Huadiao wine from the imperial kitchen? What are you doing?"
Kangxi was curious.
It is impossible to drink, it is still in the period of filial piety.
That's making food.
It is not unusual for the imperial meals in the palace to be seasoned with wine, but most of them are fresh from the river.
"It's not that you asked people to soak sea cucumbers, abalone, etc. Don't just talk on paper and waste the ingredients..."
Kangxi said with a critical tone.
Liang Jiugong said nothing.
He just felt that whether it tasted good or not should have nothing to do with Qianqing Palace.
Kangxi also thought of this, clicked on the silver reward list, and said: "Send someone to the Ministry of Household Affairs and they will be distributed tomorrow. Don't delay..."
