Shu Shu couldn't say anything.
Her relationship with Guizhen Gege is not a matchmaking relationship.
The former sister-in-law and the former sister-in-law are really embarrassed in the eyes of outsiders.
Besides, there was also the matter between Niu Hulu, Dagege and Fusong, and Shu Shu was also afraid of the matter of keeping a matchmaker and pulling fibers.
Erhe blushed and said, "I heard that Fujin and Guizhen Gege have a very good relationship..."
Shu Shu said with a sullen face: "Well, guard, it's really rude for you to directly inquire about Gege like this. You shouldn't be like this. Isn't it right that your elders should come forward?"
Even though Erhe is not young, the important thing about marriage is still "the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker."
Erhe's face turned redder and said: "My slave Enie mentioned it to my aunt once, but my aunt said... Gege said that you have to choose the person you want to marry..."
Shu Shu was not surprised.
Guizhen was deceived by her Amma during her first marriage, and she would definitely not be happy to be deceived a second time.
Otherwise, he would have returned to the palace long ago.
Now I don't want to be betrayed by her Amma again, so I will firmly hold all the dowry in my hands and live alone outside.
Come and try it quickly. 】
Shu Shu looked at Erhe and said: "I haven't seen cousin Guizhen since spring, and I don't know much about my cousin..."
Erhe hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that Mrs. Nala often went to visit Princess a few days ago..."
Shu Shu was a little surprised. She glanced at Erhe and didn't answer. Instead, she asked: "Your destiny sounds very worrying. Could it be that you have found some way to solve it?"
Otherwise, wouldn't it be deceiving to propose marriage to Guizhen Gege at this time?
If there is another accident and Erhe loses his second wife, he can continue to look for his third wife, but Guizhen Gege will lose his life.
Erhe said hurriedly: "The slaves Ama and Enie have already asked the master to take a look. He said that the slaves were born as boys. Because their ancestors had merit and protected their descendants, they will not suffer. After their twentieth birthday, they will be fine. …”
Shu Shu was speechless.
I can't explain this kind of metaphysical thing, but the few princesses who disappeared earlier were also unlucky.
However, this is a loyal minister, and he seems to be quite sincere. I don't know what Guizhen Gege thinks, but Shu Shu still tells the truth: "Mrs. Nala does intend to find a wife for the eldest son..."
Erhe's face turned pale and he said: "Thank you Fujin for telling me, I understand!"
He didn't hesitate anymore, and went down after getting the news.
Brother Jiu listened to everything and said: "If it were their family, it wouldn't be considered as burying Guizhen Gege. Although Erhe couldn't attack the Duke, he seems to have some Sanjue..."
This is the case for noble families. As the ancestors have made more achievements, the titles will be scattered.
In addition to the main title, there are also one or two scattered titles.
Shu Shu hesitated and said: "This theory of destiny is too mysterious. I don't know what cousin Guizhen thinks..."
Brother Jiu blinked, remembering what Erhe had just said.
Boy's life?
Is that still a boy? !
Ha ha!
Being in your twenties is indeed pitiful!
In that case, Guizhen Gege is really not at a loss for marrying a boy for the second time.
Xiaotang came in and said, "Fu Jin, the meals are ready..."
Shu Shu nodded and told Xiao Chun: "Then please invite Master Shi and Shi Fujin to come over..."
There are only four people in total, and since we are away from home, there is no need to separate the seats for men and women.
After a while, Brother Shi came with Shi Fujin.
The two of them also briefly freshened up.
The dining table was set.
Hot and sour cabbage, fungus and bamboo shoot slices, braised dried tofu, grilled gluten, sweet and sour poached egg, and shredded milk tofu.
The staple food is Xiangguyin noodles and steamed rice.
The current ingredients, eggs, are divided into meat and vegetables.
Eggs that can hatch chicks are considered meat, and eggs that cannot hatch chicks are considered vegetarian.
As for how to tell the difference, you can use a lamp to show it, so today the table is all vegetarian.
Although there is no meat, the braised dried tofu and grilled gluten are both cooked with thick oil and red sauce, and they taste delicious.
Sweet and sour poached eggs also go with rice, which is perfect for eating now.
There are four people at a table, three of them are good eaters and the tachyons move very fast.
There were six dishes on the table, and I almost ate the disc.
As soon as they put down the bowl, Shi Fujin and Shu Shu whispered, "The food at Sister-in-law Jiu's is so good, I just put an inch more in my belt..."
Her current clothes have also been improved, with a belt added like a Mongolian robe.
On weekdays, when I go to pay respects to my elders, I still follow the crowd and change my flag uniform. Normally, I just behave as I feel comfortable at home.
Shu Shu said with a smile: "It's been hard on the road these days, so it's better to eat more!"
Shi Fujin swallowed his saliva and said: "Then I have to eat vegetarian food for four days in a row. I'm hungry for meat..."
Shu Shu was speechless, and saw that the tenth prince was also looking forward to it, looking at him eagerly, waiting for his answer.
Yes, that one is also full of flesh and blood.
But really speaking, starting from the morning, there are at most three meals without meat.
Shu Shu said: "Then let's eat it on the way back..."
Set off tomorrow morning and arrive at Hongluo Temple at noon.
The current rule for burning incense is to burn morning incense, that is, burn incense in the morning the day after tomorrow.
You can return at noon that day.
Shifu Jin raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly, and said: "I brought a bow, shall we hunt rabbits then?"
Shu Shu smiled and nodded.
This jump is a bit fast.
From vegetarianism to killing animals.
But it should be okay.
Shi Fujin and Shi Age were both exhausted, so they went out for a walk.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said with dissatisfaction: "We are already married, why are we still acting like children and asking Old Ten to worry too much?"
Shu Shu advised: "Don't be upset, sir. It's not a bad thing for the tenth brother to have such a lively person by his side."
The tenth prince is a person who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. He looks carefree, but is actually very delicate and sensitive.
Brother Jiu was still worried: "It's okay if we don't have children now. If there are children, we have to help keep an eye on them. I don't worry about Shi Fujin's upbringing..."
Shu Shu: "..."
When these words came out of Brother Jiu's mouth, I always felt weird.
I guess the other older princes also view Ninth Prince the same way!
He Yuzhu came in and said: "Master, Fujin, there is a colleague from outside the post station. He knows that Master Jiu is here and wants to come to say hello..."
Listening to these words, Brother Jiu knew that he was an official of the Eight Banners.
If it were a Han official, even if he knew that the prince's elder brother was there, he would not dare to take the initiative to get involved.
"Which colleague is from which flag?"
Brother Ninth said.
He Yuzhu had also asked before and said: "He is a Tongzhi from Yunnan. He was born in the Han Army with a White Flag. His name is Nian Xiyao..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Then pass it on..."
He had not entered the court, so he still had some impressions of nobles, but he was not familiar with these high-ranking officials.
Shu Shu, who was standing by, knew this person and said: "This is the eldest son of the governor of Huguang, Nian Xia. He should have entered the official position because of his father's influence, and he was directly promoted to the fifth rank. It's not bad. His younger brother is Nalan Xingde's son-in-law." …”
He himself has ordinary qualifications, but his younger brothers and sisters are all figures who have been recorded in history. His younger brother is Nian Gengyao, and his younger sister is the noble concubine Dunsu.
Brother Ninth was not curious about Shu Shu's extensive knowledge, but thought it was because the in-laws in Dutong Mansion had many contacts and were well-informed.
Because there is also Shu Shu's in-laws in Mingzhu Mansion.
Mingzhu's third daughter-in-law is Prince Kang's Princess, Shu Shu's cousin.
While he was talking, Nian Xiyao followed He Yuzhu in and said with a thousand salutes: "Slave Nian Xiyao, the co-president of Jingdong Mansion, has met Jiu Ye and Jiu Fu Jin. Please be kind to Jiu Ye and Jiu Fu Jin..."
He is in his thirties, wearing sapphire blue uniforms, with a handsome face and a recent beard.
His family has a family tradition of imperial examinations. His grandfather was a Jinshi, his father also took the imperial examination, and his younger brother is also preparing to take the imperial examination.
Perhaps because of family tradition, he looks very elegant, like a Hanlin official.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Come on, since you are a son of a noble family, how can you make up for such a place?"
The land of Yunnan and Guizhou is located in a remote area, so it is not a fertile vacancy.
Nian Xiyao stood up and said: "My father chose this place for me. He wants me to go there to practice and do some practical things..."
In Shu Shu's heart, she was thinking about "Jingdong Mansion".
This place name is familiar. In later generations, there was a Pu'er production area under Pu'er City in Yunnan, named Jingdong County. It should be in the same line as Jingdong Prefecture.
Shu Shu reminded Brother Jiu: "Sir, Jingdong Mansion is the origin of Pu'er..."
Nowadays, a large part of the tea sold in border areas is Pu'er tea.
Brother Jiu had seen his wife's brochure and knew that his wife wanted to run a tea garden. He immediately became interested and said: "The Book of Man says, 'Tea comes out of the mountains around Yinsheng City'. You want to go there?" The place is Yinsheng City?"
Nian Xiyao bowed and said: "The Jingdong Mansion Office is indeed in Yinsheng City..."
Brother Jiu's eyes lit up and he said: "That's just right. I happen to want to buy a tea garden. Since you are in the past, can I entrust you with this matter?"
He had no intention of showing off, after all, in his eyes, the emperor's father was the master of the Eight Banners, and he was already a minor master before he lowered the flag.
Nian Xiyao was stunned when he heard this.
He was just following the rules, knowing that the prince's elder brother was there, and came over to say hello as usual. How could he have expected that the ninth elder brother would be so invisible?
He hesitated and said: "Master Jiu..."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "Isn't it convenient?"
Nian Xiyao hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not the case, it's just that I'm afraid it won't be done properly. How about you arrange for someone to go south with me?"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "I haven't opened the mansion yet, so how can I have any manpower? You should arrange the people first!"
Having said this, he looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu knew what was going on. Although this kind of entrustment seemed to be like buying and selling by force, the opportunity was rare.
If it drags on, I don’t know when it will be.
She got up and went into the back room, took out some banknotes, took them out and handed them to Brother Jiu.
The total is eight thousand taels.
This is the banker's ticket from the household department, which is more convenient to use than the banker's ticket from outside.
Nian Xiyao could exchange official silver at Siyamen, the chief envoy of Yunnan.
Brother Jiu glanced at the denomination, then stuffed it into Nian Xiyao's hands and said, "Take these first. If it's not enough to turn around, I will send someone to give you some silver. Don't worry, I won't use you this time in vain. I'm ready to turn around." If you want to come out, I will help you move around in the official department..."
Although he has not entered the court, he also knows some rules about official promotion.
In addition to the big plans of the imperial court, officials have to wait for promotions through seniority.
After completing the qualifications, if you want to upgrade, you must first grab the vacancy, otherwise there will be no promotion.
Although Nian Xiyao is the son of the governor, his father has always been in the local area and is not a capital official. It is not easy to help his son run the business, otherwise he would not be able to make it to such a remote place.
Nian Xiyao looked at the sourness of some literati. They were not lively and did not climb the pole. He only said: "I'll try my best. Then I'll run errands. When I find a suitable teahouse, I will write back and invite Master Jiu." You decide..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's good, please excuse me. It's our fate to catch up with Zheng..."
