When Brother Ninth came back from the Yamen, Shu Shu mentioned the Jin family's gift-giving: "Why on earth? If it's for the shortage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it's too childish?"
Even if he was begging for help, he would not beg like this.
It is only in line with common sense to send brothers and nephews who can speak well to the capital to pay tribute to the ninth elder brother in person, instead of adding three melons and two dates to the "three festivals and two birthdays".
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's not because of shortage, it's because I'm targeting Xiao Qi..."
Shu Shu came to his senses and said: "The number of places for the prince to accompany you to study?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "The Cao family and the Li family each have a child entering the palace, so naturally the Jin family will not be far behind."
The Jin family were originally officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because they gained the emperor's trust, the father and son served as Hangzhou weavers for more than thirty years.
Now in the younger generation, he was born and raised in Hangzhou, and has long been estranged from the palace.
Shu Shu said: "That's a long way to go. It will take several years for Brother Seventeen to enter the study room."
Brother Jiu said: "It can be considered as a report in advance. When the time comes to choose haha beads, people can think of them."
Knowing the reason, Shu Shu let go of the matter.
When it came time for the prince to choose a reading companion, they were not in a position to interfere.
As an adoptive mother, Concubine Yi could choose a companion from Guo Luoluo's family or her in-laws' family, and she was qualified to choose two people. However, Shu Shu and Jiu Age had never met a child from the Jin family, so it was naturally impossible for them to choose an ignorant child. The person was placed next to Brother Seventeen.
Children have insufficient temperament and are easily influenced by the temperament of those around them.
For example, Akedun was a bit arrogant in his early years, but he behaved well in front of others. After choosing a companion to read, he entered the study room to study. However, he was bewitched by the people around him and became arrogant and arrogant, which made him unable to advance or retreat.
The next day, Concubine Tong moved to Yongshou Palace.
It was still Nanny Qi who brought Xiao Chun with Shi Fujin to deliver congratulatory gifts.
The next day is Jiu Gege’s seventeenth birthday.
Under the imperial edict, the emperor's ninth daughter was married to the first-class bodyguard Bu Xi, the eldest son of the first-class Chengen Duke Elundai, and ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to begin preparations for the princess's surrender.
Jiu Gege's marriage has now settled.
As for the title of the princess, it will be canonized before the wedding.
Shu Shu took a long breath after hearing the news.
She was also a little confused as to whether this had changed history or not.
Jiugege's consort is no longer Shun Anyan, but he is still a descendant of the Tong family.
There was joy on her face, and she told Xiao Chun: "Hurry up and run for me to congratulate Ge Ge."
As for the rest, it's not easy to use a girl to convey the message.
Daoxi was not empty-handed, and Jin Ruyi happened to be prepared as well.
Shu Shu asked Xiao Chun to find it and use it as a gift.
Although this was prepared as a make-up gift, it was originally planned to be given in private, for the sake of their friendship as sisters-in-law and handkerchiefs.
When it comes to cosmetic gifts, Shu Shu will still follow the example of her sisters-in-law, and she won't be too different from everyone else.
Therefore, it is appropriate to send Ruyi at this dry time.
Xiaochun took the people and set off.
Shu Shu counts the days.
Twenty-five good concubines moved into the palace, and major events in the harem were completed.
The ninth elder brother can go to the imperial court and ask for moving at the end of the month.
He had taken Shu Shu's and his own horoscopes before, and went to Qintian Prison again. After calculation, he still found that the number of days was twenty-nine, and there was no collision.
Calculating this way, the days I will stay in the palace will be less than ten days...
Wood.
Ningshou Palace, Dongci Room.
The two concubines were the first to receive the news of the proposed marriage.
Because he lives here, when the angel comes, he gets the news.
Both of them sent their nannies over to deliver congratulatory gifts, and then accompanied them over to congratulate the Queen Mother.
You know, Jiu Gege is not only a princess, but also a princess raised by the Queen Mother. The two Queen Mothers naturally become close to her when they see her.
This time she stayed in front of her eyes, and the Queen Mother finally got her wish.
The Queen Mother was indeed happy and smiled from ear to ear.
She herself was married far away and knew the pain of a woman marrying far away.
There is no lack of glory and wealth in these years, but thinking about the comfort of my parents' home also makes me dream back in the middle of the night.
In addition, due to the separation and death of relatives, I also shed half a basket of tears in my early years.
Now that Jiu Gege is getting married, staying in Beijing is a foregone conclusion.
"Xiao Jiu is a hot-tempered and stubborn person. Even if he points to Horqin, I don't trust him."
The Queen Mother babbled to the two concubines: "You are a filial child. When the time comes, you will 'report good things but not bad things', so you don't have to feel bad for someone. It's so good now, right under your nose, you can see it often... "
Princess Duanshun said: "I thought the emperor would change his mind and choose someone else, but I didn't expect it would be theirs."
Orundai was notoriously bad-tempered, a bastard, and dared to stick his neck out in front of the emperor.
Although it is not popular in the Eight Banners to beat one's wife, Erundai's attitude of attacking his wife whenever he disagrees makes people worry that he will beat his wife.

Princess Shuhui said: "Your Majesty misses the past..."
In the early years when the emperor first took charge, Tong Guogang also gave him a lot of help.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Your Majesty sent Bu Xi to come and greet me. He is a shy child and behaves differently from me."
Having said this, she looked at Concubine Duanshun and Concubine Shuhui and said, "It is rare for the emperor to enthrone the harem. The next one will probably be ten or eight years later."
Both concubines had pale expressions on their faces.
This time, Concubine Xianfu and Concubine Tong were included in the ceremony.
Although they could see things openly, they still felt a little uncomfortable.
In the early years, the harem of the Qing Dynasty was dominated by Mongolian women, but as they grow older, it may be difficult for even the Mongolian concubines to enter the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
The Queen Mother looked at the two of them and said: "The Emperor has begun to like the young concubine, and the Qianqing Palace has agreed to it for dozens of years. If someone happens to be happy later, his status is too low, and he is not qualified to raise him. If you want to raise little Gege and little brother, It's just the right time..."
Princess Duanshun immediately shook her head and said: "I don't worry about that. When I turn around and close my eyes, my private room will be given to Xiao Buyin."
Concubine Shuhui was hesitant.
It's not that I didn't have this idea in my early years, it's just that princes and princesses are very valuable.
If the younger brothers and little princesses in the future have the same background as the fifteenth elder brother and the others, it would be the best of both worlds to educate one.
Concubine Shuhui said: "Then let's wait for a concubine's little brother. Don't be a little princess. He was raised so far apart that he couldn't bear it..."
Several elderly people all laughed. If they could live to live as long as the Empress Dowager in more than ten years, that would be their blessing.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Then I will ask the Emperor later."
This is the joy of raising children.
When the little baby laughs "haha", it will make people laugh too; when the little baby cries "woo-woo", the heart will be crushed.
In this life, they have never been favored by their husbands, nor have they given birth to children. When they are old, it is not a sin to want to enjoy family happiness for a few days...
Wood.
Ge Ge Suo, Jiu Ge Ge.
Jiu Gege looked at the golden Ruyi in the brocade box and said to Xiao Chun, "Sister-in-law Jiu is too honest."
Such a large gold Ruyi, even if it is filigree and hollowed out, looks exquisite, but gold is gold, and the weight is not light.
Xiao Chun smiled and said, "I was planning to send it next year, but Fujin sent his slave to deliver it first."
Jiu Gege's face turned red and she said, "I have something to ask Sister-in-law Jiu. When Sister-in-law Jiu is free tomorrow, I'll go over and bother you."
Xiaochun thought about his daily life in Fujin, and said: "I have nothing to do from Chenzheng to the beginning of noon. I have to take a nap before noon and Shenchu. I have to have nothing to do from Shenchu to Youchu."
Jiu Gege couldn't help laughing when he heard this time, and said: "Brother Jiu is going back to my elder brother's house at noon?"
Xiao Chun smiled and said, "Master Jiu doesn't want Fujin to eat alone."
Jiu Gege was a little worried, but he also knew what was going on and said, "Then I will go over and talk to my sister-in-law tomorrow morning."
While the two were talking, there was movement outside.
It was the concubines of the palace who got the news and sent people to send congratulatory gifts.
Xiaochun said goodbye and went back to the second house.
Shu Shu was only happy when she heard that Jiu Gege was coming as a guest.
She was bored by being alone. Shi Fujin occasionally came over to sit, but it was probably because of Brother Shi's orders that he only sat for two-quarters of an hour each time, so he didn't sit there for a long time.
Shu Shu felt that she needed a friend.
She wanted to prepare tea, but Jiu Gege was not very fond of food, so she told Xiao Chun: "Then we will bring out some of our fruits for guests tomorrow."
This is Jiu Gege saying that he has something to do with him, so what exactly is it?
Wood.
Sibeile Mansion, entrance.
The fourth elder brother came up, threw the reins to the porter with a dark face, and strode into the house.
He went directly to the study room and saw the kind eyes of the Buddha on the Buddhist altar, and his irritable heart gradually calmed down.
Everyone has relatives near and far.
For him, even though he has a normal relationship with the Tong family on the surface, he still thinks of Enie in his heart.
It's just that Tong Guowei's attitude towards him was mediocre, not much different from that towards other princes and elder brothers. He never got up to heat the stove before.
Looking at Tong Guowei, he didn't seem to think that the fourth elder brother was raised by Queen Tong and was the "Queen's adopted son".
The fourth elder brother was ashamed and angry, and rarely took the initiative to contact them.
In addition to Longkodo,
Longkodo has always been close to him, and his uncle and nephew also had many interactions in their early years.
In the first month of the year, Tong Guowei was convicted. Fourth Brother did not feel it was a pity. He wanted to find an opportunity to transfer Longkodo back to the capital.
During his lifetime, Enie was most worried about his younger brother.
As a result, I received a letter from Longkodo today, and it actually used Jiu Gege to talk about it, saying that in order to calm the emperor's anger, only Lord Shun Anyan could save the Tong family from difficulties.
Longkodo begged Si Age to facilitate this matter, otherwise, this branch would be silent and he would not be able to help Si Age in the future.
It’s simply baffling!
Brother Si was furious after reading the letter.
It is true that Longkodo is his uncle, but Jiu Gege is also his sister.
How could he interfere in his sister's marriage for the sake of the Tong family's wealth?
How can this make sense?
And that help?
As a prince, what kind of help do you need?
The Tong family has bad intentions, and their intentions can be punished!
Sifujin got the news and knew that his father was returning in anger.
She did not rush to the study, but asked the dining room to prepare almond tea, a plate of ready-made shaqima and sesame candy, and then took people to the front yard.
When he heard that Fujin was coming, Si Age swallowed his words of driving people away.
This is my first wife, not someone else. Brother Si also wants to find someone to talk to about his depression.
Sifujin came in, took the food box from the girl behind him, and waved his hand to send him out.
Brother Si took one look and said, "I don't want to eat it."
Si Fujin said softly: "It's either there or a bowl of almond tea, which moisturizes the lungs. It's dry now. I coughed several times this morning."
Si Age stopped talking. Si Fujin took out the almond tea and two plates of refreshments, laid them out, and then threw out a clean towel and handed it to Brother Si.
Brother Si took it, looked calmer, wiped his hands clean, picked up the almond tea and ate it.
There is icing sugar inside and it tastes sweet.
Brother Si ate a bowl and his mood calmed down.
After putting down the bowl and rinsing his mouth, he complained to Si Fujin: "How could there be such a person in the world?"
