Brother Jiu's heart was lifted.
There is a duke and an uncle in the Dong E family's Zhenghongqi branch. One is the direct title passed down by He Heli, and the other is passed down by his son Du Lei.
They are all knighted for military merit.
In the past, there was no downgrade.
But now, Khan Amma is a bit stingy about the inheritance of nobles.
Brother Ninth feels that he has been very obedient these days, so he often goes to the imperial palace twice more.
Even if he doesn't directly plead for mercy at that time, maybe the emperor's father will be more lenient towards the inheritance of the uncle's house because of his son's face.
As for Peng Chun, even though Peng Chun had a problem during the Ulan Butu period, his military exploits later erased the past.
If there is an emergency, the court will still praise him when he recounts his life.
The father-in-law's branch is not good.
Although my father-in-law had done a good job in these years and was relied upon by the emperor's father as his confidant, he had no chance to make a great contribution.

On the Queen Mother's ship.
When Shu Shu and the others came over, Concubine Fengrong had already arrived.
Concubine Hui and Jiu Gege are also there.
Concubine Hui was talking to the Queen Mother: "I didn't think there was anything wrong at first. I stayed in the south for ten days and a half, and my hair did get a lot finer when I touched my face. The place with beautiful mountains and clear waters really nurtures people. No wonder it is said that beauties come from the south of the Yangtze River."
Concubine Rong also said from the side: "Yes, it's different now that we've been to the capital. The moist face dried up all of a sudden and became so tight that it felt like it was about to burst."
It turns out that the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is mild and pleasant.
Seeing several sisters-in-law arriving, Jiu Gege stood up.
Shu Shu and the other three received a round of greetings, and then sat down next to San Fujin.
The Queen Mother looked at the faces of the sisters one by one, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, after going to the south for a few months, they have been nourished, and they look more hydrated."
Concubine Hui echoed from the side: "Yes, she looks like she just married into the palace, she looks like a new wife!"
This is talking about San Fujin, who is dressed in crimson and looks much more delicate than usual, and Wu Fujin, who is gentle and shy but also much calmer.
They all look great.
As for Shu Shu, although she has been married for two years and is still with her old wife, she can be a big or small person.
You can talk together with your sisters-in-law, and you can also play together with Jiu Gege and Cao Gege.
Shu Shu thinks it’s time to comment here.
Is this the so-called harmony of yin and yang?
Concubine Rong looked at San Fujin's makeup and pinched her eyes to look down on it, but she didn't show it on her face.
Dong E's family is still a good helper, and there are no wrinkles on the surface, so there is no need to care.
only……
She couldn't help wiping her sweat.
She was getting older, impatient to move, had a plump figure, and was a little afraid of heat. She looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, when will the Emperor go to the garden this year?"
The Queen Mother said: "I don't know. I guess after a while, I will be out for half a year, and I will have to fix it up."
Concubine Rong said: "I'm looking forward to that. It's really strange. I thought it was hotter in the south than in the north earlier, but in May, it gets hotter the further north I go. I don't know why..."
The Queen Mother looked at Shu Shu and said, "Did the book say this?"
Shu Shu thought about it carefully, shook her head and said, "It seems like there really isn't."
The Queen Mother looked at the others and said, "Then what do you think is the reason?"
The old lady was asking about her aunts and sisters.
Everyone looked at San Fujin.
San Fujin didn't even think about it and said with a smile: "Maybe it's hotter in the south, but we just don't know."
This not only left no answer, but also negated what Concubine Rong had just said.
The Queen Mother looked at Wufujin.
Wu Fujin thought of the "Two Children Debating the Sun" in "The Analects of Confucius" and thought about it and said: "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but no one mentions the north and the south. Is it possible that in summer, the sun is more northerly and the sun is brighter in the north... "
When she said this, Concubine Rong immediately cheered and said, "Wu Fu Jin is smart, isn't that so? When we were in the south of the Yangtze River, there was continuous drizzle. Now as we go north, the weather becomes sunnier and the sun shines brighter."
It's Shu Shu's turn.
It was rare for Wu Fu Jin to be outstanding, so she did not show off her knowledge. She just said: "Like my mother-in-law, I also think what the fifth sister-in-law said makes sense."
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, Sister-in-law Wu is right. The summer heat is also early on our grassland. You can be exposed to the sun at noon until you are bald. It won't be better until it starts to rain in June... …”
Jiu Gege glanced at Shu Shu quietly.
She didn't believe Sister-in-law Jiu didn't hear the contrast in Concubine Rong's words.
It's hotter in the north than in the south. It's easy to guess. It must be sunny and cloudy.
There is less rain in the north and more rain in the south.
If it starts to rain in the north, the climate will naturally cool down.
But she also concealed her thoughts and nodded along.
After everyone asked An to leave, the Queen Mother said to Jiuge: "What have you learned?"
Jiu Gege thought about the reactions of several sisters-in-law and said: "Speak more slowly... speak less... speak with praise... speak with examples..."
The Queen Mother smiled lovingly, shook her head and said, "Just understand in your heart, there is no need to learn. You are a princess, not the same as Prince Fujin."
Jiu Gege nodded, very impressed.
She took the Queen Mother's arm and said, "My granddaughter is much more cheerful when she sees the fifth sister-in-law than before. What else is the Queen Mother worried about?"
Although Wu Fujin acted in a measured manner in the past, he was mostly forbearing when things happened, which is different from the confidence and confidence he has now.
It was obviously the imperial grandmother who pushed her to this point, why does she seem to be worried again?
The Queen Mother patted her hand and said: "I was just worrying. She couldn't stand up before, and I was afraid that she would hold your fifth brother back. Now that she is standing up, I'm afraid that she will be too high-minded and find fault with your fifth brother for not liking to study. The shortcomings..."
Jiu Gege hurriedly said: "Fifth sister-in-law's character and behavior are all under your nose. She is not that frivolous. Don't worry!"
The Queen Mother said: "Just wait and see, I just hope to have a child soon, so that the life of this couple will be really stable..."
Jiu Gege stood silently.
It seems that when a woman reaches her age, she either gets married or gives birth to a child...
She was a little confused.
She is seventeen, and I guess this time she returns to Beijing, the candidate for her consort should be almost decided.
Fifteen years old, as old as twelfth brother...
She is a little less nervous and shy, she is just a little kid.

Shushu on board.
The weather was hot, and even on the water, it wasn't much cooler.
She took off her outer clothes, only wearing a robe of fragrant cloud gauze, and took off the hairpin on her head.
Xiaochun threw a towel to wipe her hands and face.
The ninth elder brother was sitting next to him, remembering the reminder from the fifth elder brother just now.
Now that we are in Beijing, we should talk about Dong E's family's lawsuit.
He waved his hand and sent Xiao Chun down, telling him about Fu Hai's lawsuit against Qi Xi at the Infantry Command Yamen and Dali Temple.
After hearing this, Shu Shu was not worried, but was surprised: "How can you act so crudely and stupidly?"
Even if he was concerned about his title and wanted to remove the obstacle of Qi Xi, his first move was unjust and unreasonable.
"Even if you want to cause trouble, shouldn't you get a tin pillar and sue?"
Shu Shu didn't understand what they were thinking.
In that case, he is a serious "sufferer". Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end, he can pour dirty water on Qi Xi and use the topic as an excuse.
If you change the cousin in the next room, you have to let others laugh first.
Due to the old custom of dividing families into Ding, the Eight Banners are also divided into clans, but unless they are completely suppressed in terms of status or identity, like Aling'a did to several brothers, each family will live their own life.
I've never heard of anyone with such long hands.
Counting from Heshuitu and Dulei, the two families have passed several generations, and after two more generations, they are no longer convinced.
Brother Jiu said contemptuously: "Like Guidan, he has high vision and low hand. He is blinded by greed. If he doesn't say that he is stupid, he will think others are stupid. But for anyone who can mention it, why doesn't Peng Chun arrange a future? It's not ten Five or six years old, I didn’t become a man, so I ended up in my early twenties, and I didn’t even have a serious job..."
Shu Shu said: "What about Xi Zhu, are you really going to be a witness for their brothers?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You really have the guts. I admire him. It seems that the two brothers Hu Nong asked him to write something. Who knows if it was Hu Nong who wrote it or if he was pushed by the current. If he is allowed to confront his father-in-law, I'm afraid he's so cowardly that he really doesn't dare to..."
Shu Shu frowned after hearing this.
The family has not yet thought about how to arrange Xi Zhu. The smartest way for Xi Zhu now is to wait.
If he makes a fuss, Ah Mou will not tolerate him given his temper.
What happened to the government?
The uncle in the lobby is a handsome man and has been the leader of the clan for many years. He will not make fun of someone like this...
unless……
Shu Shu also became nervous, looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Sir, is there any news from the government? How is my cousin's condition?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anyone mention it. You just met the third sister-in-law. Did you see anything?"
Shu Shu thought about Sanfujin's appearance just now, well dressed and in a happy mood.
It must be that I didn't receive a letter from my mother's family.
Concern leads to chaos.
If the two heirs of the Dong E family died of illness one after another, then the next step for the Dong E family would really depend on Kangxi's grace.
If the Yuan-level imperial concubine is allowed, the Dong E family's position among the Eight Banners nobles will remain unchanged.
If two groups attack at the same time, the Dong E family's current transcendent status will no longer exist.
"How do you think the emperor will deal with the Dong E family's title?"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and asked.
Brother Jiu said: "I asked Khan Ama directly first. Khan Ama said that the Dong E family must decide on the candidate for the title, and it is not suitable for the royal family to interfere..."
At this point, he remembered the idea of heirs and said, "Will my father-in-law let Zhu Liang directly attack the prince?"
If it was necessary to arrange an heir for the uncle to sacrifice incense and inherit the title, then Zhuliang, the eldest son of Dutong Mansion, would be the best candidate.
But in that case, the title will be downgraded.
My brother-in-law couldn't kiss my father-in-law, so Brother Ninth felt that he could still tell the difference between far and near.
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu, shook his head and said, "No..."
It wasn't that Amma was partial to her other sons, or that she was greedy for titles, but that she still had her daughter in front of the prince Fujin.
Since he proposed to marry the prince, Ama is much more motivated than before, but he is afraid that he will not be able to support himself.
Amma will never give up this title again.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt relieved and said, "That's good. It's better for the title to be in the hands of my father-in-law than in the hands of Zhu Liang..."
Although the "King Minister System" has been abolished, the position of Minister still remains, and he can walk in front of the emperor and assist in state affairs.
There are only three people in each banner, and they are selected from the clan's Beizi and above, and the honorable uncle and above. They are all super-ranked people, and they are the highest-ranking people among the ministers.
It can be seen from this that the title of multiple earls can go a step further for the father-in-law.

The next day, the emperor accompanied the empress dowager back to the palace, still going to Di'anmen and Shenwumen.
The palace guards who followed him all returned to their respective palaces.
In the second courtyard, Nanny Qi and Walnut were waiting with people.
When the news came that the Holy Emperor had returned to Luan, everyone in the two houses was waiting.
The upper room has been swept and dusted a long time ago, and the window screens have also been replaced with new ones...

The next update will be at 12 noon on November 17th. Welcome everyone to the Qidian app.
