"Enie, what on earth do the emperor think? If the clan brother's corruption can't be hidden from the clan members, how can he hide it from the emperor?"
Shu Shu whispered: "What do you think of letting such a person out to become a local official?"
The two ministers, the Han minister works, and the Manchu minister prints his hand.
Many families want to keep the noble girls of the Eight Banners until they come out of the palace at the age of 17 or 8. Brother Jiu also thought it was the Niu Hulu family's intention, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He looked at Zhuliang again, he would be a young man in one year.
Zhuliang's marriage was decided in advance, so she had to worry about her future.
"What did Prince Kang's palace say? Are there any guards?"
Brother Ninth said.
The sons of distinguished nobles often served as bodyguards after they became adults.
The difference is that the upper three flags make up for the guards in the palace, while the lower five flags make up for the palace guards.
The Dong E family's status is that they are still in-laws with Prince Kang's palace, so it should not be difficult to find a guard for the palace.
Zhu Liang nodded and said: "Yes, but Ama said that I should stay in Dutong Mansion to learn how to do errands and walk with the flag in the future. I will keep this favor and wait for my little five to make up for it later..."
Brother Jiu nodded, knowing what he was doing.
The four ministers have some sense of balance at this time.
It seems that the father-in-law has also made general arrangements for the brothers-in-law.
Perhaps there was no need to be so clear in the early days, but now the situation should be settled sooner rather than later, and everyone knows it well.
The two elders are both nobles, Xiao Si has the best academic performance, and it seems that there is no help for him to become an official in the Eight Banners imperial examination. Then most of the future marriages will be to the imperial family in the Eight Banners, and Xiao Liu is the daughter of the fifteenth elder brother, and he will also be married in the future. I can follow my fifteenth brother to lower the flag.
Xiaowu's future here is also determined, and the family's hearts are also stable.
As for the infant Xiao Qi, he is the youngest son.
Banner people have the custom of "young sons guarding the stove".
Now that some titles have been assigned, whatever merits my father-in-law has in the next twenty years will probably fall on this youngest son.
Even if things don't go as planned and there are no new achievements, the family property will be richer than other brothers.
Shu Shu stayed with Mrs. Bo in the uncle's house for an hour before coming out.
The previous old housekeeper had gone to Fangshan to guard Uncle Uncle's tomb, and now the former steward was Mrs. Uncle's servant.
Jue Luo said: "You are about to move out. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will also send some servants to come over. How will you use it then?"
"Fu Jin, Madam asked people to clean up the house in the back street of the palace a few days ago."
The steward personally sent Shu Shu out and reported in a low voice.
Shu Shu paused, looked at the steward, and said, "What are you doing to clean up the house?"
After saying that, she suddenly said: "Are you going to add makeup to cousin Guizhen? My cousin's marriage has been decided?"
It's been half a year since Guizhen and Xizhu separated. It's hard for a young woman to live alone all the time. It's hard to have a matchmaker.
Guizhen is not a daughter of a noble family, but she has a rich dowry and is still a noble person in the palace.
There should be many people in the red flag family who are willing to say goodbye.
The manager shook his head and said hesitantly: "Looking at what Madam means, she wants to move."
Shu Shu immediately turned around and returned to the main room.
Mrs. Bo was holding Ruyi in her arms, lowering her head and groping.
Shu Shu thought for a while and realized that it was really nepotism.
Hearing the movement at the door, Mrs. Bo raised her head with surprise.
Shu Shu felt unhappy and sat down next to Mrs. Uncle angrily.
"The little mouth is so pouty that it can hang a bottle of oil. What's wrong?"
The uncle said.
Shu Shu said: "Ah Mou, why are you like this? You have to think about it."
The ones she trusted the most were Xiao Chun and others, and then the elder brothers such as Walnut and Sun Jin served. It took a year to get along.
When the time comes, the newly appointed people in the mansion will not be allowed to queue up in front of Xiaochun and the others.
It's not just a matter of qualifications, but she trusts Xiaochun and others more.
This is the confidant.
Shu Shu whispered: "Is the Emperor deliberately raising moths?"
When the time comes, you will gain a good reputation and benefit from it.
Jueluo said: "What else could be the reason? There is no one available."
After saying that, she shook her head.
Not really.
It is different now than it was in the last years of the Qianlong Dynasty.
At that time, wars were going on one after another in the northwest and southwest, and the country's finances were in trouble.
Everyone just started a conspiracy theory.
At present, the scene in the entire court and local area is still tending to be peaceful.
Kangxi was also in his prime.
Maybe just follow your heart.
"I'm afraid it sets a bad precedent."
Shu Shu whispered.
Shu Shu:
No one is a saint. If there is no law prohibiting it, it is only human nature to be greedy.
The officials themselves are not greedy, and they have relatives and subordinates.
After a little greed, there will be big greed.
This is how courage and greed are raised little by little.
Jue Luo Shi nodded her forehead and said, "You are so brave. You dare to say anything. Just know these things well and don't expose them in front of others. Who cares about this?"
Shu Shu said coquettishly: "This is in front of E Ni and Master Jiu, and my daughter doesn't even mention this."
Jueluo Shi nodded and said, "That's good. You have to know what you're doing and don't be fooled by others; but you don't have to wear your shrewdness on your face to make people guard you."
Shu Shu nodded with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Enie."
She and Brother Jiu came out early, and now it was breakfast time.
Shu Shu stood up and said, "I dealt with him this morning. I'll go have breakfast with Ah Mou and come back later."
The officials under the Five Flags make people worry. There are second-level masters, but there are still so many Han officials?
Madam Bo’s identity is different now than in the past.
As a widowed person, it is not easy to come and have a feast while still being filial to her husband.
Jueluoshi waved his hand and said: "Go, go!"
Shu Shu took the walnuts to the uncle's house.
As for Xiao Chun and Xiao Song, they also came back and were given a leave by Shu Shu to reunite with their relatives.
The uncle's house, the main room.
The dining table has just been set, but Mrs. Bo has not yet touched her chopsticks.
Seeing Shu Shu coming over, Mrs. Bo had a smile on her face.
Shu Shu first looked for the washbasin stand, washed his hands, and said: "I got up early this morning and couldn't eat, so I took two bites of it randomly."
When the bowls and chopsticks were brought, Shu Shu sat down and saw the palm-sized fried scallion pancakes, mutton siomai, pickled pickles, shredded mustard mixed with celery, double yolk salted duck eggs, and sesame sauce radish skin, all of which she loved.
I studied the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Principles and passed the imperial examination, so why don’t you feel at ease?
You have watched her grow up since you were a child, so why don’t you know what’s wrong with her?
Sometimes he is really steady, but sometimes his temper can be irritable.
Since we said we would return to Guining today yesterday, we must set off early this morning.
Shu Shu ate the golden millet porridge, which didn't contain a grain of rice. She ate two scallion pancakes, half a plate of mutton siomai, and all the salted egg yolks.
After putting down her chopsticks, she said: "I didn't expect to be able to go home after so long this time. I thought before that the Holy Emperor moved into the garden, and it would be easier for us to come in and out..."
There are also various rumors outside about the removal of the concubines.
Mrs. Bo has passed the age of gossiping, so she only said: "It doesn't involve you, right?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "It's irrelevant. It's just that the ladies in the palace are moving the palace, and we have to prepare some housewarming gifts."
As for the rest, there is no need to explain it to Ah Mou in detail, so as to save her from worrying.
"Um."
Jueluo lowered his voice and said: "The Han people's books say, 'Those who are not of our race will have different minds.' This is what they learned in elementary school. What about the emperor? You can order them to work, but you can trust them. It has to be the Eight Banners. The Eight Banners are the foundation of the Qing Dynasty and the foundation of the royal family..."
A small humming sound came from the door.
Shu Shu looked up and saw a little thing, not much bigger than a palm, standing at the door.
Looks cowardly.
"Is this the puppy raised by Amou?"
Shu Shu looked over and saw that it was probably the puppy stage of a pug that wouldn't grow up.
She took two steps forward, and the puppy took two steps back.
"Ruyi, come here."
Mrs. Bo waved to the puppy.
"Woof."
The puppy barked, ran in, surrounded Mrs. Uncle, and wagged its tail vigorously.
Shu Shu felt that the taste was very sour and refreshing.
Mrs. Bo stretched out her arms and hugged her, and signaled the maid to get a clean towel, wiped all four of Ruyi's little paws, and then wiped her body, and then said to Shu Shu: "Come and touch it..."
Shu Shu stepped forward and wiped it.
The snow-white hair is very soft.
The puppy raised his eyelids and glanced at her, still pressing Madam Uncle's wrist affectionately.
Mrs. Bo's face also became much softer, and she said: "It's a coward, and it's afraid of animals, but I don't dare to bite anyone... You can come out later and ask it to relieve your boredom!"
Shu Shu said: "I don't dare to raise it. Ah Mou will come and live with me later, and then I will take it there, and Ah Mou will raise it..."
Mrs. Bo thought for a while, shook her head and said, "That's inappropriate. Don't think about it. There's not much left or right."
Shu Shu didn't say anything, but her desire to repair the garden became even more urgent.
In the Prince's Mansion, Mrs. Bo may be able to stay occasionally, but that would be under special circumstances such as giving birth, but it is usually inconvenient to stay for a long time.
As for the other courtyard, the Zhuangzi was originally given to her by Mrs. Uncle. When she repairs the garden, she can build a separate villa for Mrs. Uncle and then pay tribute to Mrs. Uncle.
But think about the structure of the imperial court.
That way, others can't say anything.
Madam Bo can be more comfortable living in her own territory.
*
The front yard of Dutong Mansion.
Brother Jiu looked at his father-in-law's vicissitudes of life, and thought he was helping Lingzhi suffer from grief, and he felt very disapproval.
After so much effort and effort, he won't fall behind at all. Others may think he is hypocritical.
But he knew how to be tactful, and he still said with concern: "The deceased has passed away, you should also take good care of your sword."
Qi Xi nodded and said, "It's okay."
Brother Jiu glanced at Fusong, who was looking down, and said, "Is the time for changing posts set at the end of the month?"
Fusong's face turned slightly red and he nodded.
Among the six departments, they are all equipped with Manchu and Han officials.
It's been half a year since Xiaoxiao was born there, and the household registration here in Fusong has already been assigned.
It's just that one thing in Dong E's family has been delayed one after another.
"Where's the matchmaker?"
Brother Ninth said.
If there is no suitable one, maybe the couple can act as matchmakers?
Fusong is not an outsider, he will stay with the couple from now on.
Fu Song said: "The great matchmaker invited Sunu Beizi."
Brother Jiu asked: "Does that mean that once we are engaged, we can choose a date?"
The couple also planned to buy a property for Fusong. If the date was set early, they would really have to hurry.
Fusong said: "Don't worry, we'll talk about it next year."
