Shu Shu did not shake his head in a hurry, but felt that this suggestion was quite reliable.
"Don't worry, the entourage order will be delivered in a few days. I'll find a chance to ask Jiu Gege first."
Otherwise, it would be too arrogant and impolite to worry about using the other party's manpower without saying hello to the owner.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, if Xiaojiu is not happy, just tell the Queen Mother directly. Doesn't the Queen Mother not restrict people?"
Shu Shu smiled and said nothing.
Although Concubine Hui said this, the Queen Mother would also streamline the people who followed her.
In the past, we planned to bring twelve or fourteen people, but now we estimate that there will be no more than eight.
There will be no more than five people around the two concubines, past Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong.
Although the honor of a concubine is higher than that of a palace concubine, the status level is the same.
After Brother Jiu said this, he heard that Concubine Yi had given him pocket money, so he opened his purse and said, "How much pocket money did the empress give?"
While I was talking, I took out the banknotes from inside and counted them.
Inside are two banknotes, each with a denomination of five hundred taels, for a total of one thousand taels.
Brother Ninth has been on duty for half a year, and he is not ignorant of the world. He sighed: "What's the use of having a son? When you get a wife, you have to coax him!"
The annual salary of the imperial concubine is only three hundred taels a year.
In addition to birthday gifts and New Year gifts, one thousand taels a year is pretty good.
Shu Shu said: "The reason why I love Wujiwu is because I love my fifth brother and my master."
Like Concubine Rong, there are many evil mothers-in-law who seek trouble for their daughters-in-law no matter what.
It is indeed rare for a mother-in-law like Yifei, who only hopes for a happy life for her son and daughter-in-law, not to follow her mother-in-law into chaos.
This is Shu Shu and Wu Fujin's good luck.
Shu Shu was grateful and sympathized with Concubine Yi. She thought of the purses that were coming in from outside and said: "A few years ago, I asked Yinlou to make some gold and silver coins to put the purses in, as well as some gold and silver necklaces. After they are delivered, , first take out a box to honor your empress."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good, it will save the queen from being tight."
There is no need to follow the example of Fifth Elder Brother and the others for this kind of filial piety that is neither year-round nor unfaithful, nor does it need to be shown in front of others with great fanfare.
*
Five Baylor Mansion, go to the upper room.
Wu Fujin was talking to his fifth elder brother about the situation of meeting the Queen Mother, and the assignment of tasks discussed by the sisters and brothers.
Here, the couple prepares home remedies for acclimatization, and then sends people to Tongzhou to find out how to deal with seasickness.
Shu Shu will prepare various side dishes based on the Queen Mother's spring meal list in previous years.
The fifth elder brother listened carefully and said: "Tomorrow morning I will go to Tongzhou in person..."
As he said that, he praised Shu Shu for being attentive: "She is filial and very attentive."
Wu Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, and he is very knowledgeable. I have learned a lot by following him."
Hearing this, the fifth elder brother was a little worried: "Lao Jiu doesn't like reading very much, so will my younger siblings dislike Lao Jiu?"
Wu Fujin smiled and said: "My brothers and sisters are not that shallow. They never rely on their talents and are arrogant. They only look at the harmony of the young couple. I don't have to worry about this."
The fifth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, it's because Lao Jiu is not motivated..."
However, Wu Fujin heard the uncertainty of the fifth elder brother, and it seemed that he was not just talking about the ninth elder brother, and said softly: "There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, they can all come out of the same mold? Let's look at the merits."
The fifth elder brother said sarcastically, "That man doesn't seem to have any merits."
Wu Fujin looked at him with gentle eyes: "My father is kind-hearted, kind to others, and filial to his elders. There is nothing better."
The fifth elder brother's face turned red and he felt more uncomfortable. He did not dare to look into Wu Fujin's eyes: "How can I be so good? I am not good at studying and my errands are ordinary."
Wu Fujin praised: "But I am patient and careful in my work, otherwise the emperor would not have entrusted me with the important river work to inspect."
The fifth elder brother has been traveling in the Ministry of Works for the past two years, and most of the errands he has taken on are based on water conservancy in the Ministry of Works.
The fifth elder brother felt that his face was getting hotter and hotter, so he changed his words and said: "When the weather gets warmer in February and the foundation can be dug, the ninth and tenth prince's mansion will be built. It's a pity that I am not here, otherwise I would go with him Khan Amma asked for an errand.”
The Prince's Mansion was built by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Zongren Mansion Branch, and by the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After hearing this, Wu Fujin said with worry on his face: "My younger siblings said that they will become vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month in order to have children. I am a little worried..."
The fifth elder brother also frowned after hearing this and said: "It's useless to burn incense and pray to Buddha. It always depends on whether Lao Jiu lives up to expectations or not."
Wu Fujin sighed and said: "I'm worried about this too... Master, let's also beg for children. We'll be ready to have two elder brothers. When the time comes, there will be room for the ninth brother and the ninth younger brother..."
She was serious, and the fifth elder brother felt his scalp numb.
He was embarrassed to say that he was ashamed and did not dare to look at Wu Fujin. He nodded casually and said: "Then... I'll ask for you when I get out of the service..."

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu had a good night's sleep.
Who would have thought that there would be another candidate for their heir?
When the couple talked about their little goodbye, they found an excuse for Brother Jiu to get his wish.
The next day, after breakfast, the proud Jiu Age came out of the second house.
He did not go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but first came to the Third Office to find the Tenth Brother.
"Yesterday, Khan Ama directly promoted Master Yinde to the position of Chief Historian of the County Prince's Palace. Our title is not sealed, but it is almost equivalent to being sealed. I plan to go to the imperial court to tell Khan Ama about Fusong..."
Brother Ninth said.
The tenth prince had a very good impression of Fusong.
However, I didn't judge his character based on a chance encounter, so I sent someone to the Zhenghongqi area to inquire about it.
We know a lot about Fusong's situation.
More pitiable than myself.
She lost her biological mother and her maternal family was destitute. If Mrs. Dutong, her biological aunt, hadn't taken her over, whether she could have grown up well or not was one thing, but her conduct and character didn't matter.
The eleventh elder brother had a similar problem and believed in the tutor of Dutong Mansion, so he paid more and more attention to the matter of marriage.
"Go ahead and tell him. Whether it's the chief of ceremonies or the bodyguard, once he's approved, my brother will take him to his uncle's house."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's what you said. Whether you like it or not, let me give you an explanation first. If you delay it for a long time, it will hurt your feelings."
The two brothers were talking and came out of the third house.
Passing by Yuehua Gate, the ninth elder brother went to Qianqing Palace, while the tenth elder brother continued to walk south, leaving the palace to go to the Yamen of Zongren Mansion.
Yesterday, many civil and military officials were present at the Imperial Court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but not many people handed over signs this morning.
When Brother Jiu arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, the eunuch serving as the eunuch had already brought his men to prepare for the meal.
Brother Jiu had no idea of waiting for the dining table to be removed, and immediately called someone to report it.
Kangxi was reading the post of Wang Shen, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Because the incident on the first day of the first lunar month had just passed, it was not suitable for unrest in the palace. Therefore, Wang Shen was ordered to investigate the wealthy families of the Ministry of Internal Affairs these days. He did not directly investigate each household, but first went through the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household. Statistics of the industries under each company's name.
If it is a division of ancestral property or a wife's dowry, etc., separate it separately, and the remaining increase must be accounted for.
If a family's income does not match its expenditure, it must be marked.
The larger the difference, the more fishy it is.
As a result, there was something wrong with the leaders and stewards of the imperial dining room, Guangzhou Department, Construction Department, Qianliang Yamen, and Internal Management Office.
Needless to say, the imperial dining room is famous for its oil and gas.
There is a pawnshop run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the Guangchu Division, which regularly cleans out old and worn-out items. There are also things that can be done in this.
Needless to say, the Department of Construction conducted an inspection in July and August last year, and only found the palace manager, and did not continue the investigation.
You don't need to guess to know that the big head who is greedy for ink is still in the Construction Department.
The Qianliang Yamen is in charge of renting taxes in Huangzhuang. This person also handles a large amount of money, food and things, so it is easier to do anything.
There is also the internal management of the office, responsible for the errands in the palace, and the cana request is very simple.
Kangxi had already been prepared and was not surprised by the verification result.
His eyes first fell on the collar of the inner tube.
His people were in charge of this place before. In the thirty-fourth year, he was granted the title of Crown Princess. After the Crown Princess began to take control of the palace, in order to facilitate the Yuqing Palace, Kangxi asked the Crown Prince's nanny Ling Pu to take charge of it.
As a result, the two leading doctors before and after him were both greedy for money.
The former bought several properties, paid a heavy dowry to one of his daughters, and married him to the concubine of the clan and the Duke's mansion as his legitimate wife.
The latter has been executed, and a lot of the hundreds of thousands of family assets that were confiscated should have come from the internal management department.
Immediately, he focused his eyes on Qianliang Yamen.
This is under the control of Concubine Hui's natal family, and the person in charge now is Concubine Hui's brother.
On the contrary, he is less greedy than others, and his added property is only six or seven.
Kangxi was very satisfied. Concubine Hui behaved respectfully and knew how to restrain her mother's family.
Even though she had been the head of the four concubines for many years, she had never sought an official position for her natal family.
Three of the properties acquired by the Ulanara family were transferred to the Yin Ergenjueluo family of Dafujin in the 26th, 27th and 36th years respectively.
These three years were the years when the eldest brother got married, gave birth to his eldest daughter, and gave birth to his eldest son.
This is by adding makeup and congratulations to the great fortune, and dedicating the property to the elder brother.
Kangxi became more and more satisfied when he saw it.
Very good, the Ulanala family has not forgotten their roots and knows that their favor lies with their eldest brother.
The Construction Department is left...
Kangxi's face turned cold.
There are no brothers of Concubine Yi here, but there are the in-laws of her half-brothers and her natal family.
Thinking of Guo Guiren, Kangxi showed disgust on his face.
If he hadn't been concerned about Princess Kejing, he wouldn't even have given Guo Guiren the title of nobleman.
The Guo Luoluo family had merit in giving birth to Concubine Yi, but giving birth to a Guo nobleman was also a crime.
Kangxi took up his pen and circled the names of several people, marking them as "dismissed and thorough investigation".
As for the Qianliang Yamen, Kangxi marked "recovery of suspension of salary".
Tolerance is tolerance, and we should also remind Ulanala's family.
As soon as he put down his pen, he heard the eunuch report that it was Brother Jiu who asked to see him, so he nodded and called for a message.
Brother Jiu came in and saw Liang Jiugong standing next to the basin with a towel, apparently about to help the emperor wipe his hands.
Brother Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I'll come, I'll come, I'll serve Khan Ama..."
After that, without waiting for Liang Jiugong to respond, he grabbed the towel, put it in the basin, wrung it out carefully, and said with a bit of flattery: "Khan, wipe your hands!"
Kangxi glanced at him suspiciously, but did not take the towel and said, "What do you ask for again? Do your business well and don't think about what you have and what you don't have all day long!"
Brother Jiu was dissatisfied and said: "My son just wants to be filial and filial to Khan Ama. Just accept it. If you do this in the future, who will dare to be filial to you?"
Kangxi took the towel and said angrily: "Who told you not to go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything? I'm not reminding you..."
"Hehe! No wonder they say 'a wise son is better than a father', Khan Ama, you really have a sharp eye..."
Brother Jiu smiled brightly, showing his small white teeth, and said boldly.
Kangxi snorted lightly.
Where is the prince here?
Simply a night owl.
Every time I come here, there is always an accident.
Kangxi didn't ask either.
Maybe it’s related to the Southern Tour?
Or is it related to the old ten weddings?
No matter which one it was, Kangxi was not going to agree.
After letting your son experience love and tolerance, you should also let him see what a "strict father" is.
Especially here at Lao Shi Da Wen, we have made several exceptions. If we add more grace, it will lead to speculation and easily cause trouble.
Brother Ninth Brother did not beat around the bush and said the reason for his visit: "My son is not thinking about the long history of the tenth brother. My son also recommends a master of ceremonies. When the time comes, he will also have someone to keep an eye on the house and be more attentive."
Kangxi was a little surprised. He really didn't expect it to be because of this.
"Who do you want to recommend?"
Kangxi asked, thinking about the people Brother Jiu had come into contact with, and found that this son was not a sociable person.
Not close to maternal family.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "It's no one else, but Brother Fusong, the adopted son of my son's father-in-law..."
The Eight Banners were all ordered by Kangxi himself.
Kangxi naturally knew the situation in Qi Xi's family.
It is common for the clan members to come and go.
There are not many that are truly evil.
He did not criticize Fusong's background, but said with disdain: "You are too young, the master of ceremonies should choose someone mature..."
