Outside the carriage, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were also talking about their "filial piety".
"As soon as this thing is presented, Khan Amma will definitely lecture people, saying something like not doing their job properly, not learning and having no skills..."
Ten of them are directly made of gold inlaid with ivory, and the matching dice are white jade inlaid with rubies.
A "bite" is a tiny insect that bites a person like a pimple.
But in that case, if the wind is also blocked, it will be less cool during the day.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Just leave the screen as it is, and put down an extra layer of mosquito net at night."
But because of the mosquitoes, she smeared more toilet water on her body.
She herself thought the smell was too strong, so she snatched Brother Jiu's lemon essential oil and used it to make it less smoky.
*
Outside Qingxi Bookstore.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were waiting to meet outside.
The two brothers will be living in Haidian starting from today, so they have to go to the imperial court first to pay their respects.
Seeing that it was about to begin, all the officials who turned over the sign had the same look.
The ten pairs were made of ebony and ox-bone, and were matched with dice set with gold and precious stones.
The last one to come out was Ma Qi.
Brother Jiu saw him and asked warmly, "Master Ma, are you back from a business trip in Shanxi?"
"Master Ninth, Master Ten."
Ma Qi stopped, met the two of them respectfully, and then said, "I arrived in Beijing yesterday and came here today to do an errand."
He went to Shanxi at the end of May, and it has been a month and a half now.
As for the mutual criticism between the governor of Shanxi and the chief envoy of Shanxi, neither of them was happy.
The governor of Shanxi Province was downgraded to three levels, and the chief envoy of Shanxi Province was downgraded to one level.
Because the newly appointed governor of Shanxi was none other than his brother from the Fujin clan, Garli, so Brother Jiu asked someone to ask a few more questions before to find out the details, so he did not ask in detail now.
The ninth elder brother was thinking about Fucha Gege, and from then on he would be Xiang Fujin of Babeile Mansion.
When Bafujin was "recuperating", the person who came out to socialize with the female relatives of Babeile Mansion was Fucha Gege, and I don't know what his temper was.
Because of the precision, the construction period is relatively long.
He said enthusiastically: "Whenever Madam Madam is having a wedding, remember to send me a message. We are colleagues and I should also add makeup to Madam..." J.
Ma Qi felt very happy when he heard this.
What does it mean?
He's not that old, but he's pretty good at acting like an elder.
People who didn't know it thought it was Uncle Shi adding makeup to his niece.
His face was expressionless and he just said: "It all depends on the arrangements of the Babeile Mansion..."
Brother Jiu blinked.
I was in such a hurry when I went back to Sibeile Mansion that I forgot to mention it to Si Age.
If he had dealt with the Yaqibu family before Fuchagege entered the family, would he have helped Ma Qi, right?
It's a pity that this favor can't be shown clearly.
He planned to present half of the twenty pairs as a "respect" and half as a return gift from the prince of Inner Mongolia.
Mongolians are honest and love to perform rituals.
I sent many gifts to Brother Jiu.
It was originally a business relationship, and Brother Jiu made a steady profit by helping the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If there are too many of these gifts, my hands will burn, thinking of "reciprocity of courtesy".
These tooth cards and dominoes are just right.
Things are valuable when they are rare, and they look decent.
Brother Jiu said: "But if I really don't give it to him, I guess I will have to remember that I am not filial..."
In addition, the ups and downs are effective.
It will also be convenient to promote it in various departments in Mongolia in the future.
Brother 10 said helplessly: "Brother Ninth, are you too careful?"
It is true that the Eight Banners prohibits gambling, but in this family life, it is common to play small cards, and no one will care about it.
Brother Jiu said: "Then you can't get involved. You are used to fighting at home, and others know it. Will you go if you are dragged into the game later? What if the elders of the clan speak out? It is better not to get involved from the beginning."
The tenth prince stopped talking.
That might not be possible.
If they move out of the palace, it will be different from when they lived in the palace, and they will have to go out for all kinds of entertainment in the future.
Brother Ten said: "Everyone is still too idle and has nothing serious to do all day long."
So he loves to visit teahouses and listen to gossip, he loves to carry cages and raise pets, and he also loves to organize games and play cards.
The tenth brother felt itchy and said, "Brother Ninth, when will the second batch be ready? My younger brother will also want one..."
Brother Jiu said: "It can be considered a peaceful scene. It's just that Khan Ama thought long term and was afraid that the Eight Banners would be abolished, so he tightened the rules on the clan."
The tenth prince also knows this truth, but he is actually not without regrets in his heart.
Nowadays, the days in Zongren Mansion are like this for three or five days, and it is also like this for three or five months.
You can see all the way to the end at a glance.
Thinking about it, the next three to five years, or even three to fifty years will be similar.
It's boring enough.
He still has errands to do. If there are no errands for the clan members, they won't have to worry about food and drink. They will be so idle every day just thinking about how to get by. J.
Brother Jiu also thought of these people and felt that he was at a loss.
"No wonder Khan Ama doesn't like them, and I don't like them either. With the salary, he enjoys happiness all day long, and Khan Ama doesn't dare to relax..."
Having said this, he had a bad smile on his face, looked at Brother Ten and said, "Can't you think of a way to use these people?"
Brother Jiu glared at him and said, "What do you want? Do you want to be punished?"
The tenth prince shook his head and said: "Khan Ama values the clan, and those who are truly capable will not be buried. Those with good test scores will be reused, unless they are those who are not even qualified to take the exam... knives."
The descendants of the lower clans, as well as the Jueluo descendants, and the Aixinjueluo family bloodline who have eliminated their clan membership like the Fusong family.
Brother Jiu said angrily: "Then let them enjoy their leisure time in vain. As princes, we are not that comfortable yet."
How can we add more clan vacancies?
Brother Jiu felt that he was far-sighted and began to plan for the future.
Now he has not been knighted and has no elder brother. If he can think of a way at this time, adding more maids to the clan would also appear to be selfless.
There's no rush, I still have plenty of time, so I can think about it slowly.
Just like the shortage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if you think of a new business, wouldn't it be possible?
That is to say, it is different in Mongolia. The clan must avoid suspicion. Otherwise, it is not impossible to directly add a few border trade clan vacancies in the Lifanyuan...
We drove slowly all the way, but within an hour we arrived outside Changchun Garden.
Brother 10 smiled and said: "Brother Ninth, don't worry, two people can play this card without playing the card game, just for fun at home!"
Concubine Yi's carriage stopped directly outside the gate of Changchun Garden Palace, and she had to change carriages to enter the garden.
Shu Shu and others stopped at the gate of the palace.
The chariot has been waiting for a long time.
Peilan brought the palace people over yesterday to lay out the arrangements, and now they are waiting at the door.
Shu Shu and Shi Fujin got off the carriage first, and helped Yi Fei get out of the carriage and change the carriage.
Watching Concubine Yi's chariot enter the garden, everyone got on the carriage, got on the horse, and then went to Xinwusuo.
The New Fifth Institute is located in the southwest corner of the West Garden, separated by a wall from the West Garden.
It is surrounded by water.
Five threes in a row entered the courtyard, which looked similar to the layout of the palace.
It's just that the elder brother's residence in the palace has an east-west corridor in front. To enter and exit the elder brother's residence, one must pass through the east-west gate of the corridor.
Brother Jiu said firmly: "You two can't fight with each other. Let's touch the cards and play 'double'. Don't touch this!"
The access control here is not structured like that.
Each courtyard, although the middle wall is connected, has independent front and rear doors, making it easier to enter and exit.
The front door is not far from the official road, which is more than ten feet away. It is separated by trees and rivers. It will not be disturbed. It is clean and within the range of the patrol. Soldiers and civilians are not allowed to approach.
In the direction of the back door is the imperial rice field, then in the Huyuan River is the southwest gate of the West Garden, and continuing to the north is the north gate of the West Garden next to the Queen Mother Palace.
Shu Shu and his sisters-in-law pay their respects to the Queen Mother. They don't need to go through the West Garden to enter. They can go directly through the North Gate, which is more convenient.
There are four yards that Brother Ninth has tidied up.
The second yard from the west.
The fifth house is where the ten princes and his wife live.
The fifth elder brother and his wife in the third institute, the fourth elder brother and his wife in the second institute, and the eldest elder brother in the first institute, in this order.
As soon as their carriage arrived, the second and third offices got the news.
Even if he asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make a second batch, he had no intention of distributing it to the brothers.
Both the Sifujin and the Wufujin came out.
When the sisters-in-law met, they were all very excited.
Zhi Wufujin said sarcastically: "I don't know if I will arrive today, otherwise, I should go outside the garden to greet the queen."
Shu Shu smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will know about it and go and wait. That's why I won't send someone to tell you."
Si Fujin comforted Wu Fujin and said, "My concubine is here now. Please pay her respects more in the future."
Because Shu Shu and Shi Fujin still had to clean up the yard, the sisters-in-law chatted for a few words and made an appointment to go to pay their respects to the Queen Mother in the afternoon and then left.
The yard has been tidied up long ago.
This time, Grandma Qi and Hua Hua were left alone, and the others followed.
Aunt Qi had some symptoms of rheumatism and liked heat but not shade, so she didn't come over.
Peanut is taciturn, but her status is here. She is a palace maid and can be used to manage people.
The first batch was made in a hurry, as a trial, and the craftsmen were not good at it, so they only made four pairs.
Within half an hour, all the luggage and furnishings were packed, and the master and servants all settled down.
Shu Shu just walked around in the yard.
Very satisfied.
Although my elder brother was admitted to the third hospital before, it was more like the second admission on weekdays.
Of the nine rooms at the back, only two were made for Walnut and the others, while the other seven were allocated to the two princesses.
Shu Shu also rarely goes to the backyard, a bit of a "well water does not interfere with the river water" mentality.
That's different now.
Shu Shu directly asked people to clear out the five rooms at the back. One side was a card room and the other side was a tea room.
The north window is open, so there is no draft, and it is very comfortable to stay in the room.
Today’s Haidian is different from that of later generations.
The second batch has a total of twenty pairs.
It is a veritable Haidian.
Waterways crisscross the country.
In addition, the vegetation is lush, and the temperature is much different from that in the palace.
As long as you are not under the sun, you can feel a little cool.
It's not like a palace, it's like a big steamer, so hot that people can't avoid it.
However, there are also many mosquitoes.
Xiaochun brought longan and was checking the screens and curtains of the main room.
I also looked at the screen door outside.
As long as you go in and out, some mosquitoes will inevitably follow.
Xiao Chun said: "Fu Jin, please put another layer on the screen window. Otherwise, if you turn on the light at night, Xiao Qie can get in."
