As for the Chen family’s plot against Brother Nine?
Shu Shu felt that Brother Jiu thought too much.
The Chen family are not stupid, and they don’t knock eggs and stones like this.
In his heart, Brother Ninth was wary and wary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' supervision, so he was always suspicious.
According to later generations, there was some persecutory delusion.
It must have been something about Brother Eleven that left a shadow on him.
Shu Shu grabbed Brother Jiu's hand and said, "Don't say it's for no reason. It's not their turn to scheme against you. Even if they really offend you, they will stay away from you."
The Jin family was disgraced by the emperor, and the Hesheli family was also involved, and it was not the disgrace of the ninth elder brother.
Even if someone really wanted to take revenge, there was no reason to look for Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but said in disappointment: "In that case, how can I deal with people?"
Shu Shu:
So this is an upgraded version of "fishing law enforcement"?
Finding fault to convict?
Shu Shu said: "Didn't I write down a few things in my notebook? Those people who don't give me dignity, I just take my time to deal with it..."
For the sake of brotherhood, they would not confront those concubines and relatives openly, but within the rules, no one could say anything about cutting flesh with a slow knife.
After all, they were the ones who didn't know what was going on in the first place.
Brother Jiu took a seat on the kang and said, "I am so impatient that I still want to deal with several families."
Shu Shu looked at him, no one else was this petty, and asked curiously: "If the palace didn't marry me to me last year, how could I take revenge?"
Brother Jiu looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess?"
Shu Shu really couldn't guess it at the moment.
She thought of the Chen family and hesitated: "Ama's family is all missing?"
Brother Jiu said speechlessly: "You really think highly of me. He is a confidant promoted by Khan Amma. Is he such a ignorant person?"
"Fill the gaps and concoct other lawsuits?" Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes: "That's what only a fool like Guidan could think of!"
Shu Shu couldn't guess it for a moment and said, "Master, what else is there?"
Brother Jiu sat up, looked at Shu Shu, touched his chin and said: "I thought well at that time. Only women and villains are difficult to raise. It would be unseemly for me to deal with you directly. It's a joke; I'll wait for you to get married." , take good care of your man, take care of his shortcomings, let him do a 'immortal dance' or something, let him sign and pledge, and give Shun'an Yinlou both hands to me!"
Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh.
In my own mind, I had forgotten this.
As early as when they first got married, Brother Jiu had mentioned that he wanted to deal with her future man.
In the end, it was still about money.
In the final analysis, I still miss my Shun'an Bank.
Brother Jiu already had a bad smile on his face and said, "I didn't take what he had for nothing. I'll buy some pretty girls later and give them to her."
The Shu Shu he saw at that time had a retouched face, and she looked like a pretty little beauty.
If the husband really gets a beautiful maid, then he will probably have to stay alone in the empty house.
Shu Shu couldn't help but pinch Brother Jiu and said, "You are so bad!"
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and hummed softly: "Anyway, I am such a bad person. If anyone offends me, I will not endure it in vain..."
Shu Shu said enviously: "I'm not as good as you in this regard. Sometimes I have bad ideas in my heart. I just love face, am timid, look forward and backward, and like to pretend to be a good person in front of others."
Brother Jiu didn't like hearing it anymore. He looked at her and said, "How can you say that about yourself? Is that just pretending? He is a good person to begin with, but he is already 'too close to the best'!"
The couple talked about the past year, but put aside the Gao family's affairs first.
In the evening, Brother Jiu was energetic again. He was holding on to time and refused to have an idle day.
Shu Shu was looking forward to the New Year for the first time.
I can only endure it any longer.
It’s not good to break a promise.
The next day, the couple still slept until midnight.
The two of them had breakfast and lunch, and Shu Shu was too lazy to move.
The weather is not good today, it is gray, not blue sky and white clouds.
Although weather like this is common in the twelfth lunar month, I still feel that the blue sky and white clouds of the past few days are more pleasant.
She stood at the door and looked outside, not even thinking about going out for air.
Brother Jiu stood beside him and said, "How about I accompany you to Ning'an Hall?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I'm too lazy to leave."
"How about calling the chariot?" Brother Jiu asked.
Since moving out, Brother Jiu has prepared chariots for Shu Shu and Mrs. Bo.
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's just sit and eat while we read."
It's quite interesting, something I didn't pay attention to before.
Before the couple could move, there were rapid footsteps in the yard.
It's Cui Baisui, the concierge, here.
"Master, Fujin, people from Duke Fu's Mansion have come to announce his funeral. The old Duke passed away on the second day of the Lunar New Year..."
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu looked at each other.
This old prince is Chang Shu, the seventh son of Emperor Taizong, who has been in poor health since winter.
It's just that I heard it was getting better a few days ago, and I thought I could survive until the end of the new year. Why did I die again?
Brother Jiu stood up and said, "Just stay well and ignore me. I'll go over and take a look."
There are many people in the clan, and weddings have to be prepared all year round, so plain clothes are always available.
Shu Shu asked Walnut to find a gray-blue cotton coat for him to change into, and the purses and odds and ends on his waist were also removed.
When the ninth elder brother came to the gate, the tenth elder brother had already come over and was talking to someone.
Over at the Duke's Mansion, the Sixth Master of the Duke's Mansion came to report the funeral. He was young, in his twenties, but he was the cousin of the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince.
He choked with sobs and said a few words to Brother Jiu before going to Prince Xian's Mansion and Prince Zhuang's Mansion to report the funeral.
This is also the order of mourning, starting with the cousins close to you.
In addition to the royal family, Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion, the rest are Taizong's disciples.
My husband's title is not high, he is just an assistant to the Duke, but he is one of the highest-ranking elders in the clan.
He is the uncle of the Emperor and Prince Zhuang, and the great-uncle of Prince Xian and all the princes.
Brother Jiu called He Yuzhu and said, "Go to Sibeile Mansion and ask if the fourth brother is well. What are the regulations?"
He Yuzhu agreed, but before he moved, the tenth brother looked to the east and said, "No need to go, the fourth brother is out."
It's Brother Si who came out.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother walked over.
Fourth Brother dressed up and said, "Now that you're out, let's go over there!"
It is better to go to the funeral sooner rather than later, especially for close cousins.
Not only them, but also the female relatives. Except for those in special circumstances like Shu Shu, others will also go to attend the funeral later.
Brother Jiu looked at him carefully and felt that he was getting thinner. He said, "Are you feeling better now? Stop tossing yourself so much..."
The fourth elder brother glanced at him and said, "It was fine yesterday. It was your fourth sister-in-law who insisted on keeping her for another two days."
Brother Ninth said "hehe" twice, with a look of disbelief on his face.
This is also a tough talk.
Still empty.
At other people's age, they are still young and strong. How can they catch a cold if the night wind blows?
The fourth elder brother ignored the ninth elder brother.
He thought it was good to calm down and recuperate like this. Going to bed early and getting up early made him feel relaxed.
With Fujin by their side, the two of them talked about the wedding scene in the past with a bit of nostalgia.
It seems like just yesterday, it turns out that Honghui is so old and looks ten years younger.
The three brothers didn't delay any longer and went to the old Duke's mansion.
Chang Shu's branch was also assigned to the Xianghuang Banner, so the palace was not far from Beiguanfang, just outside Di'anmen.
Everyone arrived at the Duke's Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour by carriage.
Prince Yu Fuquan and Prince Gong Changning have arrived.
They are nephews.
The ninth elder brother is a grand-nephew, so he has no place to show up, so he just follows behind.
Compared with other branches, the old Guogong's family has a prosperous family.
He had ten sons in total, two of whom died in infancy, leaving eight sons.
The eldest son is the second son of the Duke, who is already in his forties. He is about the same age as Prince Gong and has grandchildren.
The youngest son, the tenth master of the palace, was only three years old this year and had to be held in mourning.
There are also many male grandchildren, more than a dozen now.
The four generations living under one roof are so messy that it makes people upset.
The mansion is also cramped, and there are more people watching the master than serving him.
Brother Ninth couldn't help but muttered to Brother Ten: "What the hell, what are you doing with so many children? You can't even recognize this person's face. Fortunately, it's a funeral, not a New Year greeting. How much money should I prepare..."
The point is, if that happens, you will lose money.
My little brother can only collect the new year's money next year at the earliest.
The tenth elder brother whispered: "Ninth brother, don't talk about this. It won't be good for Prince Zhuang to hear it later."
Prince Zhuang looked forward to his son until his eyes turned red.
Brother Jiu asked curiously: "Now that we are celebrating the New Year, is it time to come back from Huairou?"
The tenth prince nodded and said: "I have come back, and now I am following Khan Ama to surround me."
There are also letters to be delivered over there in the paddock.
Prince Zhuang and Prince Xian should be back in the afternoon.
I just don’t know if Shengjia will return to Beijing early.
According to the original plan, Shengjia would not return to Beijing until the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.
In the afternoon, Prince Zhuang and Prince Xian returned to the city for the funeral.
Also coming were the eldest brother and the third brother who were ordered to come, and they came here on behalf of the saint to pay their respects.
However, it was just like that. He did not give Dhara sutras and quilts. He only ordered the Ministry of Rites and the clan government to conduct funeral arrangements as usual.
Several older men in the Duke's Mansion became more and more languid after receiving this result.
But they don't dare to act like monsters.
In the early years, the old man became a demon once and lost the title of Duke Fu. The children and grandchildren of this family had no titles, and they were all bald and living their lives.
Last year, the old man fell ill, and the emperor was tolerant, so he gave it to Fu Guogong again.
However, the clan's nobility system has changed, and there is an additional test title.
My elder brother in the Duke's Mansion has also obtained the qualification to take the imperial examination in the clan's Mansion.
It's just that among the Duke's sons, only the second master is the direct descendant and the heir to the Duke's mansion, so there is no need to take the exam.
When the second master ascends the throne, the legitimate sons of his clan can take part in the clan examination.
Looking at the children and grandchildren in the hall, Prince Zhuang cried even louder.
The youngest brother was born in the 36th year of Kangxi reign. How old was the old Duke at that time?
sixty one!
Prince Zhuang was crying, and his face became distorted when he thought of this.
I am only fifty this year, and I still have about ten years to have a child.
