Deyi couldn't elaborate on other people's secrets, so he said: "The guards have been under my command for several years, and I have guaranteed their character. Brother, don't worry!"
Qi Xi nodded and said: "I believe in General..."
Having said this, he looked at Erhe and said, "I heard that your family also invited Tai Fujin to marry him a few years ago?"
Erhe blushed, nodded and said: "It's a mistake, it's a step too late."
Qi Xi said: "Good things come in hard times, so only look forward to the good ones. Since you are someone you want to cherish, you will live a good life in the future."
Guizhen Gege was also a child they watched grow up, and there was nothing wrong with her marriage to Dong E's family for six months.
In the final analysis, Dong E's family had more faults.
Qi Xi originally thought about recommending himself to become the woman's matchmaker, but after thinking about the pros and cons, he gave up the plan.
It can make Guizhen Gege look good, and also explain to others in disguise that the previous divorce was not her fault.
But it inevitably became news again, causing people to talk about it.
not good.
In that case, Guizhen Gege would be involved with Dong E's family again, and I'm afraid the elders of Shu Mulu's family would be unhappy.
For Guizhen Gege, even if she is an untitled clan daughter, she is still a clan daughter, and behind her is the royal palace. She does not have to worry about being slighted by others, and her relationship with Dong E's family will be forgotten, so that she can better integrate into her husband's family.
Erhe nodded and said: "Well, that's for sure."
When Brother Ninth came back, he heard that his father-in-law had arrived in the living room.
When I came over, I saw several people talking.
Brother Jiu said to Erhe: "I haven't congratulated the guards yet, has the wedding date been decided? Remember to send a post then, Fujin is still thinking about adding makeup to Da Gege!"
"It's decided, the eighth day of the winter lunar month..."
Erhe said a little shyly: "I'd like to trouble Fujin and Jiuye to think about me."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said, "What's the matter? The cousins Fujin has been close to since childhood are also my elder sisters. It's appropriate to get closer..."
It was already late when he came out of the palace, and it was almost dinner time.
Qi Xi had already sent for a banquet to entertain the guards and soldiers who came with him.
Brother Ninth went to the main courtyard to have dinner with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
At this moment, Fu Song also returned from the Prince's Mansion.
As for the others, the elders are all in government schools, while Xiaowu is studying in a private school.
This summer, before Qi Xi handed over his title to his mistress, he convened a meeting with several of his sons to discuss the number of prison guards in the family.
As a rule, civil servants of the second rank or above in the capital, foreign officials of the third rank or above, and military attachés of the second rank or above can be sent to prison to study at the age of fourteen. After a few years, they can be replaced by officials after passing the examination.
There was no dispute about this quota, and it was given directly to Xiao Wu. When Xiao Wu turned fifty-four, he would go directly to the Imperial Academy.
After all, he was ranked low, had neither a title nor a place in the flag school, and was younger than the prince in age, so he was not selected as a companion.
However, Qi Xi also made it clear to Xiaosi and left him a sum of money.
If after three years, Xiaosi and Eight Banners' imperial examinations go smoothly, the money will be at Xiaosi's own disposal and used to fill vacancies in the future.
If Xiao Si Ba Banner's imperial examination fails three years later, the money will be given to him as a regular donation in exchange for a place in the prison, and he can also study in the Imperial College.
Those who pay donations in exchange for the qualifications of prison students are called regular prisoners, and they are divided into those who are not admitted to prison and those who are admitted to prison.
The monetary cost of not entering the prison is relatively small. For example, before the Fusong Township Examination, the regular prisoner changed his status as a prison student and could directly participate in the township examination.
There is another kind, which Qi Xi has prepared for Xiaosi. Those who can go to prison to study are more expensive. The advantage is that after they come out of the Imperial College, they can be directly placed on the waiting list, so they don't have to spend any more money.
When he heard that Ninth Brother was coming, Fu Song had a bit of eagerness on his face and went straight to the main room.
When Brother Jiu saw him, he smiled and said: "I haven't congratulated you yet. I am famous in the Guilin List. Now I am the master of the exam!"
Seeing his expression, Fusong felt relieved and said: "Shame on you, the last one."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is all luck. You can't stop luck when it comes."
When the table was set, the four of them ate.
Although Jueluo and Qi Xi were concerned, they also knew that now was not the time to make a big show of things.
Mr. Jueluo told Brother Jiu: "Before Fujin turns three months old, he should focus on resting."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, my son-in-law knows that our empress's greetings to Ningshou Palace have stopped."
Qi Xi also said: "If Fujin is picky and wants to eat something, my brother will just send someone to pass the message, and I will help find it."
Brother Ninth also agreed.
Fusong was by his side, and it was only later that he learned that Shushu was pregnant.
His feeling was very subtle.
Although my sister sometimes acts like a little adult, she still feels like a child. Is she about to give birth to a nephew?
He is going to be an uncle!
He felt a mixture of joy and sorrow.
His own Nirvana was caused by the pain during childbirth and was gone.
Although he knew that he shouldn't think of something so unlucky, he still couldn't help but feel worried because he was worried.
Jueluo felt slightly reassured and said, "After three months, I will pass the sign to your uncle-in-law and visit the palace. My brother will comfort Fujin and ask her not to think about Guining all the time."
Brother Jiu also agreed honestly and said: "I listen to you."
Where can I use up to three months?
When I move out at the end of the month, there are no palace restrictions in the Prince's Mansion, and it's not far from the Dutong Mansion. If I want to see my family, I just send someone to invite them. How can I still miss Guining?
After lunch, Brother Jiu was worried about Shu Shu, so he stood up and left.
When Jue Luo and Qi Xi were about to see off, Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "You two just stay back and let Fu Song come out. It just so happens that my son-in-law wants to ask a few words about the situation at the Prince's Mansion."
The couple sent them out of the main room and watched Brother Jiu and Fu Song leave.
When he reached the front yard of Dutong Mansion, Brother Jiu stopped and glanced at Fusong.
If you want to move at the end of the month, you need to prepare now.
"Are you really not planning to attend next year's Spring Festival?"
Brother Jiu said: "Why don't you give it a try? What if it happens? It only happens once every three years. If you miss it, you have to wait three years..."
Fusong shook his head and said: "Chunwei is different from the provincial examination. The Eight Banners and the people take the examination together. If there is no ranking, I will not show my shame..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I will find a suitable teacher for you later. You can prepare for it for a few years and wait for the next subject."
There is no one else but Fahai.
A dignified Jinshi only focuses on the younger brothers studying, and is overqualified for their talents.
Those experiences and skills in the imperial examination cannot be wasted, and it is time to find a student.
Brother Ninth felt that Fusong was one year younger than him, and since he had more teachers, Fusong should not have less.
It is also a blessing to share.
Fusong said: "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said, "Don't just thank me with your mouth. Have you tried the flue in the Prince's Mansion? How's it going?"
Fusong said: "I have been looking at this for the past two days. I have tried everything and there is no problem. After burning for several days, the moisture in the house has almost disappeared."
Brother Jiu knew that he was tight-lipped and said, "That's good. If your sister doesn't want to wait in the palace for childbirth, I will find a way to move before the end of the month."
Fusong was startled and said hurriedly: "Is it appropriate to move at this time? The elders may stop me."
Brother Jiu said helplessly: "But you have to follow your sister's will, otherwise she won't feel comfortable, and won't she be sick from vomiting in a few months? It will be convenient for the elders to go there, and they can also pick up uncles and mother-in-law to accompany them. On."
Fusong was confused and said, "Can't we wait until March?"
Brother Jiu said: "Then it's the end of winter and the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. It's even harder to move, and it's also not possible to move at this time."
The reason Big Brother and the others moved in a hurry last year was because Da Fujin was seriously ill.
They are doing well this year, but if they have to move in the twelfth lunar month, wouldn't that cause trouble for the elders?
During the Chinese New Year, no matter how anxious you are, you can’t miss the month and a half.
Fusong also knows his sister's temperament. She doesn't like to be restrained and has long been looking forward to moving.
Fusong asked: "Then what should I do?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Take care of the main courtyard and clean up the Ning'an Hall. I ordered people to order the furniture and furnishings for the Ning'an Hall before, and I also urged them..."
Ning'an Hall is the name Shu Shu gave to the second courtyard on East Road, which means "Kang Ning An Tai".
Fusong was stunned, glanced at the next door, and said, "Will aunt agree to go there?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Of course, your sister is very happy. There is no elder around, so everyone is worried."
He also saw the way Mrs. Bo was hesitant to speak before.
It's just that my mother-in-law will go to visit when the time comes, and it's just a visit. How can we leave out this big family and an infant brother-in-law?
On the contrary, Mrs. Bo, whose old age care was a concern of Shu Shu's before, so taking over her care this time is a solution to both problems.
Fusong looked at Brother Ninth and praised: "My eldest sister is filial, and my brother-in-law is also generous!"
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "What's the matter? As a family, why are you talking about this foreign language!"
Having said this, he said: "If you really plan to go all out to participate in the imperial examination in forty-two years, what about the marriage? Do you really want to postpone it until four years later?"
Being a young Jinshi is different from being a young scholar. Not to mention that there are people rushing to marry girls, they have more choices than they do now.
Fu Songdan said calmly: "Don't worry, look back and see what Ama and Enie mean..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Okay!"
After finishing what should be explained, Brother Jiu got on his horse and returned to the palace.
Yes, he came on horseback, not a carriage.
He felt that he should be more well-behaved these days and not let the emperor find fault with him.
When he turned back to Qin Tianjian and asked about the solution, and calculated the auspicious day for moving, he went to Qianqing Palace to plead.
After entering the palace, Brother Jiu returned to the second house. Shushu hadn't woken up from his nap, so he fell asleep on the kang in the west room, covered with a small quilt.
Xiao Chun was sitting on a small stool, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and was sewing.
Hearing the movement at the door, Xiao Chun looked over and saw that it was Brother Jiu, so he hurriedly got up.
Brother Jiu whispered: "When did you rest?"
Xiaochun also lowered his voice and said: "It's almost an hour at noon."
On a normal day, Brother Jiu would definitely wake up Shu Shu, so as not to sleep too much during the day and get sleepy after walking.
However, due to coughing in the past two nights, I had to wake up several times to catch up on sleep.
Brother Jiu nodded, turned around and went out to freshen up.
Shu Shu slept restlessly and opened her eyes when she heard the noise.
Seeing a figure walking by the door, she blinked, looked at Xiaochun and said, "Master is back?"
Xiaochun said: "Yeah."
Shu Shu stretched and sat up.
Brother Jiu heard her voice and came back again, saying, "I'll be fine for the rest of the afternoon. Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Shu Shu rubbed his neck and said, "No, I've been sleeping for a while."
Brother Jiu was no longer in a hurry to wash himself up. He sat on the edge of the kang and said, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are doing well. I also met my uncle-in-law and Fusong..."
Shu Shu saw that he no longer looked as excited as before and was much more stable, and said with some surprise: "Did you tell me?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, I just felt that I was careless before and didn't care about you. It would be better for my father-in-law and mother-in-law to love you..."
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "What can this compare to?"
Even if you are very competitive, you can't compete together.
Brother Jiu looked at her and said, "I want to be 'just one husband.' Anyway, I don't want to fall behind my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Shu Shu didn't understand it at first, but when he thought about it, he looked at Brother Jiu and said: "What I have said most this year is 'compare hearts'. Since I want 'husband and wife', can I also do the same?" Do you want to be 'just a woman'?"
