On the way, after the ninth elder brother told the tenth elder brother about the reaction from Dutong Mansion, the two brothers became quiet.
Not in high spirits.
Brother Jiu thought about the Dutong Mansion. Even though his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't mean to blame him at all, he still felt embarrassed.
I wanted to help, and even prepared the wedding room, but it ended up adding to the chaos.
The tenth prince was not comfortable either.
In the past, he was sincerely close to Yin De, but now he found out that he was just being sentimental.
Arriving outside the Xinwu Institute, Brother Jiu was hesitant and said, "After the marriage between the two families is over, do you want to go and tell Khan Ama?"
Before doing this, he would definitely have complained directly without hesitation.
But now I feel unsure.
His identity as a "beloved son" is not good enough.
No one can stand being picked on all the time.
He was a little embarrassed.
Brother Ten thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's not necessary for the time being. If Mr. Qi can do something about it, it will only take a few days. If Khan Ama has any questions, he will send someone to tell Brother Ninth."
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "Yeah, um, Master Chuan, I'll go over and fuck you again."
The two brothers said goodbye and went back to the yard.
Shu Shu was upset and anxious yesterday, but now she is calm.
Fusong is not that fragile, so thinking at the best, this is not a bad thing.
No one can predict the ups and downs in a person's life.
Previously, the Tong family and the Duke Niu Hulu were here, and Niu Hulu was in danger of getting married randomly, so naturally he didn't care about being picky.
But who let Tong Guowei's family be sent away?
Aling'a was also silent, not daring to cause trouble.
The crisis is over, and the marriage is naturally not willing to give in.
Shu Shu didn't dare to think about what would happen if she suppressed her anger and reluctantly married, and then despised Fusong from the bottom of her heart.
But she also regretted it.
It was a wonderful thought before. Both of them had shortcomings, and they just cherished each other when they came together.
But in fact, due to some strange combination of circumstances, she had never really seen that big princess.
If you meet a real person and see something inappropriate, you won't let your family work in vain.
When Brother Jiu came back, he thought Shu Shu would be depressed and anxious.
After all, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were worried, and he also knew that his wife treated Fusong no worse than her brothers.
Shu Shu is sewing sachets.
It is made of light gold lining gauze, with a safety buckle underneath.
The sachet is in the shape of an ingot, and the drawstring is made of diamond knot woven with golden silk thread.
Summer clothes are mostly light-colored, so this sachet doesn’t look boring even if it’s light gold.
Brother Jiu sat next to her, feeling much calmer and watching without blinking.
Shu Shu raised her head, looked him over, and said, "Did you make me guess?"
Brother Jiu nodded and repeated Yin De's words.
Shu Shu sneered and said: "That's Bahrain, not the watermelon field in Daxing. It's a thousand miles away. How long does it take for this letter to go back and forth? It will take a month if it's faster, and it won't be longer if it's slower."
The results of it?
I have already had the intention of repeating it, but I didn't show it at all.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Their family is not authentic, we should stay away from it in the future."
Yin De's house is just south of the Prince's Mansion, separated by a street and more than a mile in front and back.
And because Yin De is now the head of the prince's palace, the ninth elder brother and Shu Shu previously listed their family as a family to move around.
"I'm at a loss!"
Brother Jiu suddenly remembered this and said: "This Yin De was recommended by me. At that time, I wanted to help the old eleven, and I didn't even think about asking for favors from Yin De. I really gave him an advantage! No, next time See you, I have to make it clear that one share of this thank you gift is worth it!"
Shu Shu said: "How is Fusong?"
Brother Jiu said: "Fusong is really a blessing in disguise. He seems to be quite motivated. He told me that he plans to take part in the Eight Banners Imperial Examination!"
Shu Shu listened with concern and said: "But to participate in the Eight Banners imperial examination, you need the guarantee of the clan leader."
In terms of blood, Fusong is a descendant of Shuerhaqi, and the head of this branch is Prince Jian Yabu.
However, apart from their ancestral status, his great-grandfather's branch was no longer considered a member of Prince Jian's family in terms of etiquette and law.
Their family is in a league of its own.
Reporting names in this department will be troublesome.
It's not like ordinary bannermen who only need to be accompanied by a collar and a protective gear.
Brother Jiu said: "I will go back to the Rites Yamen and ask carefully what the regulations are. From the time I entered the customs to the present, the Fusong family has many yellow belts in addition to clan status, and some red belts. These people cannot be allowed to beg for food." , what’s the point? Allowing them to take the imperial examination and serve as officials is also a way out.”
Shu Shu said: "When it comes to homework, Fusong is better than Xiaosan and Xiaosi."
In addition, the Eight Banners is based on riding and shooting, and those who win the championship must try riding and shooting.
Fusong's riding and shooting skills are also unproblematic.
It's just that the time is too hasty.
It's already mid-July, and autumn is just over a month away.
"I didn't think too much before. If I had thought about the Eight Banners Imperial Examination earlier, I would have hired a gentleman last year and prepared for it for a year. It would have been better than rushing like this."
Shu Shu regretted a little.
Brother Jiu said: "Fusong is only sixteen, don't rush, it's not too late now, just accumulate experience in this subject, as for Mr."
He remembered a person and said, "Master Fahai came from the Eight Banners Imperial Examination. Master Huihui took Fusong over to visit and see if he can teach him some experience."
Fahai was born in the Eight Banners imperial examination and became a Jinshi in the 33rd year of Kangxi.
Now he works in the study and is also one of the teachers of the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince.
After hearing this, Shu Shu thought of Ma Qi and said: "Sir, let's put the matter of Fusong aside for now. Is it time for you to visit the teacher? Since the emperor has said, it's inappropriate for us to be silent like this. We can't wait for Master Ma." Come to your door..."
Brother Jiu felt his tooth hurt and frowned: "Then why are you visiting me? You can't just bring two pieces of bacon, right?"
Shu Shu said: "There is no precedent, so we will follow the ancient ritual and wait until the 'three festivals and two birthdays' before giving anything else."
The ancient ritual consists of six rituals, namely celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and bacon.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu grinned and said, "Ma Qi must be frightened!"
Shu Shu felt that Kangxi was a bit unkind.
No effort should be spared in employing people.
Ma Qi had a lot of shortcomings on his body, and even threw Jiu Age over to learn etiquette.
She said: "With the status of teacher and student, I am still an elder, so I should be more respectful."
Ma Qi was about the same age as Kangxi, and his family had a long history of officials.
His Ama is very famous, he is Mi Sihan, a famous official in the early Kangxi Dynasty.
During the San Francisco Rebellion, Mi Sihan served as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, raised grain and grass, and made great contributions.
It's a pity that the weather never takes off, and he died of illness in middle age.
The Ma Qi family fell into silence. It was not until their brothers became officials one after another and Jane died in the Sacred Heart that the family regained its glory.
Brother Jiu curled his lips, still feeling at a loss, and said: "How can this be reasonable? If a gentleman falls out of thin air, we have to give gifts five times a year. If we give them to others, we can still expect the courtesy to be reciprocated, and we won't lose much. But here is a teacher." How can we expect a return gift from their family if we have a birthright?"
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, Master Ma Qi knows how to measure, and he won't let us suffer too much."
Brother Jiu said: "Really?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "I know how to reciprocate, don't worry."
The roly-poly of three dynasties is just a joke.
Brother Jiu is not happy with multiple teachers, and Ma Qi may not be happy with multiple students.
This teacher-student relationship is probably just a face-saving relationship.
Brother Jiu felt more comfortable now and said, "That's fine, but we can't lose everything."
Everything is ready.
Only this time there is no bacon.
Shu Shu ordered the kitchen to bake several strips of biltong, salt them first, then bake them dry, and then smoke them with fruit wood.
Halfway through, the fragrance will come out.
The eldest brother happened to come out of the garden. He hadn't had dinner yet. He smelled the smell and stopped at the door of the fourth house. He politely ordered the eunuch and said, "Go over and ask the ninth brother if he's back. If he is, I'll tell you." Tell him, I don’t have a meal here, and ask him to bring dinner over.”
My brother, of course, there is nothing unorthodox about a meal.
Because Sisuo had eaten three meals, it was not yet dinner time.
After hearing the message from the elder brother's attendant, the ninth elder brother said nothing, nodded and said: "I understand, I will send it to your master in a moment."
After the eunuch left, Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "Look, the widower is so pitiful that he can't even eat hot food."
Shu Shu:
Brother Ninth has always been enthusiastic, and the chain of events caused by ice a few days ago has caused Concubine Hui trouble.
He also wanted to return the favor.
If he could help his elder brother, he would be more than happy to do so.
He told He Yuzhu: "Pretend more, I will go over and eat with my eldest brother, so that he will not be lonely."
When He Yuzhu went down, Brother Ninth hesitated for a moment and said: "I asked before, the eldest brother doesn't always stay here. It only lasts one day in three days, and the dining room at the head is not complete. I guess it is also for this reason. If you want to Why don't you tell me that if he rests here, just ask someone to come here to pick up the meal?"
"It's just a little effort, so it doesn't matter, but will it make it difficult for the fourth and fifth sisters-in-law?"
Shu Shu hesitated and asked.
After all, they live next to each other, and those two are sisters-in-law.
Brother Jiu said disapprovingly: "It's okay. Who doesn't know that our food is good? Even if someone complains about it, they will only say that the elder brother is greedy. We, as younger brothers and sisters-in-law, are just kind-hearted."
After that, he got up and walked out.
When he reached the door, he remembered and said, "Don't be confused if you eat alone. Let a few girls accompany you."
Shu Shu stood up, picked up the sachet she had just sewn, grabbed a handful of dried mint from the box and put it inside, sprinkled a few drops of mint dew, tied it, and hung it up for Brother Jiu herself. Said: "There is a lot of water here, lush vegetation, and many mosquitoes. I wear this to avoid being bitten."
Brother Jiu looked down, satisfied, and took He Yuzhu out of the fourth house.
Before waiting for the first place, I saw the fourth elder brother coming back. The ninth elder brother stood beside me and said honestly: "Fourth brother, you just came back..."
Brother Si got off his horse, nodded, and his eyes fell on the food box in He Yuzhu's hand.
Brother Jiu followed his eyes and explained: "It's for the eldest brother. The eldest brother is not working there."
At this point, he said: "I plan to eat with my eldest brother, so as not to be lonely. Since you, fourth brother, have just come back, you don't have a meal even if you want to come, so why don't we go together?"
