Shu Shu never imagined that the sisters-in-law were enjoying themselves so much that several brothers in the east hall fell out with each other.
If she had known, she would have snickered.
Untying the ninth and fourteenth princes is one thing, and untying the thirteenth and fourteenth princes is another thing.
Regarding the move of the Thirteenth Brother, others should not say too much, otherwise they will not be considerate of the Fourteenth Brother.
Brother Thirteen himself can take a stand.
Even if you are not considerate, so what?
He is a half-grown child himself, so it’s not easy to find fault with him for not being thorough.
Moreover, he had mentioned the matter of moving into Qian Xitou several times in front of the imperial court several months ago.
If he stood up and said he would not move this time, would Kangxi still insist on moving?
It doesn't make sense.
*
In the west side hall, the cake banquet has been removed.
Shu Shu just observed several sisters-in-law, they were all selected by the royal family, and they all had outstanding qualities.
Otherwise, even if he is from a good family background, it is not the reason to become the prince Fujin.
The Crown Princess looks similar to Si Fujin. She is tall, has a long face, gentle eyebrows and is the favorite of the royal family. She also behaves slightly similar, showing a certain stability.
Not too surprising.
You must know that although the Crown Princess got married late, she was the first among all the princes to get married.
The official decree was that the crown princess would be crowned in the 31st year of Kangxi, but I heard that the candidate for the crown princess had been selected as early as the 23rd year of Kangxi.
The princess was less than ten years old at that time.
The Crown Princess's home was an uncle's residence, so she hired a nun from the palace to teach the Crown Princess the rules.
Here in Sifujin, he entered the palace at the age of twelve and grew up under the guidance of the palace aunt.
The behavior of the two of them is similar to that of the empress in the palace, elegant, honest and restrained.
Here in Sanfujin, if he didn't speak, he would be like a painting, elegant and elegant, with a gleaming face.
Even though she keeps talking about being fat, she is still plump and even more charming.
I just can't speak. As long as I talk too much, my shortcomings will easily be exposed.
I don’t know how she passed the “accommodation in the palace” test during the 34th year of Kangxi’s reign.
I guess the elders in the family have warned me.
Be careful with your words and actions...
As for the comments made by the nuns in charge, they were all words of praise, so they were accused of being Prince Fujin.
She was born from Fujin, the Duke's side, and was not well-educated. It was not that her family didn't pay attention to her. Just looking at her exquisite life and generous dowry, you can tell that she was pampered and raised.
Peng Chun's wife died again and again, and his wife changed several times.
I guess it's because it was difficult to discipline her when she first got married, and when I could discipline her, she also left.
Shu Shu looked at San Fujin with some pity in her heart.
With a family background like Sanfujin's, as long as he doesn't marry into the royal family, his life will be fine.
Even if she is a little naive, she is still confident with the support of her natal family and dowry.
But entering the royal family is a high marriage, and your natal family cannot help you.
Like Prince An's palace, the princes of the clan could do things like showing carriages and horses to support Ba Fujin, but the ministers could not.
Then she met a terrible mother-in-law who treated her like a irritated little daughter-in-law. The days to come would only be more difficult.
Seeing Shu Shu looking over, San Fujin also pressed on to say something to her, so he stood up, changed places with Si Fujin, and sat over.
"Are you confused?"
San Fujin suppressed his voice and complained softly.
Shu Shu was really confused after hearing this.
What have you done recently?
I haven’t done anything, just getting ready for the New Year.
Seeing her confusion, San Fujin shook his head and said, "Think about the New Year's gift from Dutong Mansion!"
Today is already the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, so all the New Year gifts have been given out everywhere.
Shu Shu carefully thought about the gift list, the material of Enie's clothes, Ama's belt, a few small items such as the study room and the bow and arrow, etc. There seemed to be nothing inappropriate.
Not only the Dutong Mansion, but also her natal family, five relatives including the uncle's family, the Duke's family, the second wife's family, Prince Kang's family, and her uncle's family also gave it away.
They are given some practical and decent things according to the population of each family.
For example, in the uncle's house, there are orange and persimmon frost colors, which are suitable for the uncle and his son.
Someone in the government was involved in Ganoderma lucidum. Peng Chun was ill. These are good nourishing things.
There are two good court beads in the second bedroom, and several colors of satin with longevity patterns, which should also suit the second bedroom's mother and son's wishes.
Prince Kang's house was rich and there was no shortage of good things, so Shu Shu picked two bonsais made of precious stones and two pieces of tortoise shell jewelry as a tribute to her aunt. On her cousin's side, she picked two black fox skins from her ninth elder brother.
As for the uncle's house, there are brightly colored Ning silk, Shu brocade and other good materials, as well as some jewelry for young girls in the boudoir.
Fu Song's eldest sister, the little cousin who was ridiculed by Ba Fu Jin during Xizhu's wedding, turned thirteen and it was time to talk about her.
She has a soft personality and is different from her parents. She is also relatively close to Fu Song, her half-brother.
Shu Shu also had a certain preference in her heart. These things could be worn by her little cousin, and she could keep them or add them to her dowry.
Shu Shu felt that she had tried her best, but she was still a first-year apprentice and had no confidence. She was afraid that there might be some omissions, so she sincerely asked for advice: "Is there any shortcoming?"
Sanfujin hated that iron could not become steel, and said: "Where is the wallet?"
The purse included in the New Year's gift is almost the same as the silver envelope.
Shu Shu said: "I added it, four pairs of purses..."
San Fujin came over and whispered: "Too little! I don't think about my family at this time. If something happens in the future, how will my family support you and gain face?"
Shu Shu listened and had a bad feeling.
"How many did the third sister-in-law send back?"
San Fujin proudly said: "Sixteen pairs of purses, and a pair of gold stoves, gold vases, gold pots, and gold cups... Before I was in the palace, my family subsidized it every year. Now that our father has been granted a title and opened a mansion, this Of course, etiquette must also be raised..."
Speaking of this, she said in an admonishing tone: "You should also bring out Prince Fujin's gifts. I have heard that the annual gifts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are abundant, and you should have more money, so you should be filial. It’s better to be respectful.”
Shu Shu was simply shocked: "Sister-in-law San made this gift list herself? Does Sanbeile know about it?"
San Fujin snorted softly and said: "He must be reluctant to give up. He wants to support his wife's family and give money to those disciples. He is stupid because of his studies. Only slaves respect their masters. How can a master give gifts to slaves? There are also yamen Over there, he is also confused. He is currently walking in the Ministry of Husbandry, but he is asking someone to prepare more New Year gifts for the Minister of Rites. What is this? In the Liubu Yamen, the Ministry of Husbandry is ranked in front of the Ministry of Rites. A good Hubu does not want to wait Now that we are stable, if we still want to go to the Ministry of Rites, wouldn’t that be downstairs?”
Shu Shu felt her scalp numb as she listened.
The one that subsidizes the little wife's house, so I won't comment on it.
Giving money to the disciples is actually just a formality.
The servants should help those who have old people and young children at home to reward them with their purses to show their master's grace.
But before that, the disciples of Baylor Mansion were the first to show their filial piety, and there was no shortage of them.
Therefore, whether it is so-called loose money or rewarded money, it is actually a return gift.
If the reply is too small, remind the other person to give a larger gift next time.
If the reply is generous, it means telling the other party that you are satisfied and keep it up.
The same goes for Shu Shu. The annual gift he received from a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was also given some rewards in the name of Ninth Prince.
This is also the rule for going up and down.
As for the two annual gifts from the Minister of Rites, it is not difficult to guess.
The prince's six departments are not fixed departments, but are specifically responsible for a certain errand.
The third elder brother must have had some errands from the Ministry of Revenue. He knew that the Ministry of Rites had some errands that he was worried about, so he made some preparations in advance.
Shu Shu looked at San Fujin several times and really wanted to ask her if she did it on purpose.
These two stabs from her were so cruel!
There is also Dong E's palace. In name, it is "subsidizing" the daughter and son-in-law, but in fact it is the Dong E family's "annual respect" for the third elder brother, the prince's noble son-in-law.
San Fujin returned all the gifts without saying a word, and even doubled the gifts in return.
Dong E's family is afraid that they may be uneasy.
No matter how innocent and innocent she is, she is still a noble daughter of a noble family, so she can't be like this, right?
Shu Shu looked at San Fujin and saw that she was smiling but not smiling. She made a guess and whispered: "Did you do this on purpose?"
San Fujin spread his hands and said: "What's the purpose? If he doesn't teach me, how will I know what's going on? I will definitely do it according to my own wishes..."
Shu Shu didn't know what to say.
Is this standing still? !
Standing a little crooked!
It has the meaning of killing a thousand enemies and damaging oneself by eight hundred.
It seems that the fact that Third Brother asked Tian Gege to take care of the house has touched San Fujin's bottom line, and she doesn't want to bear it anymore.
Shu Shu thought for a while and advised: "It's better to stop. The emperor is still watching."
If you do such stupid things and are criticized by Kangxi's father-in-law, there will be no good fruits for Sanfujin in the future.
San Fujin said disapprovingly: "I didn't do anything extraordinary. I acted within the rules."
Shu Shu still frowned: "There is also a cousin who is ill. I'm afraid he won't be happy..."
San Fujin looked down at his fingernails and said, "I asked someone to send a message to my Amma. Several of the gold items are for my mother-in-law and are not included in the public account!"
Sanfujin's E Niang was Peng Chun's cousin Guo. She was an officially granted third-grade lady. Sanfujin only had a daughter.
The gold given to Guo Shuren was actually Sanfujin's private house.
Shu Shu felt that this way of deducting money was quite satisfying.
But thinking of the stinginess of the third elder brother, Young Master Shu Shu couldn't help but remind him: "It's the prince's elder brother after all, be careful he turns against him..."
When the time comes when the husband and wife really break up, following Kangxi's style, if he blames his son for two points, he will blame Sanfu and Jin for eight points. If he says something unpleasant, it will be bad for Dong E's family.
San Fujin lowered his voice and said: "I just got a few dollars and felt that my back was strong, so I slapped me in the face regardless. That would make him impoverished and lose his job. How can he still raise his voice?!"
Shu Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
Are they two cousins so close?
Isn't it just a matter of face?
If there is such a plot between husband and wife, there is no need to tell her.
It seemed that San Fujin was holding back too much, and he whispered to Shu Shu in a low voice: "I was too good-tempered before, so they treated me like a dumpling, and tried to step on my nose and face! Bah! I was appointed by the emperor. Prince Fujin, I respect you, who can deny me respect?!"
