Xiaosan and Xiaoliu were also silent after hearing this.
They all know that this sister is not a concubine, but she is also a cousin. They all met her when she got married.
The mistress glanced at Shu Shu, feeling a little scared.
Mrs. Bo also looked at Shu Shu and said, "Let's see how funeral arrangements are held there. We'd better go there the day after tomorrow..."
The family knew they were just cousins, but in the eyes of outsiders, they were Shu Shu's biological sister.
This is a close relative of flesh and blood, and the status there is not as noble as that of Shu Shu, and Shu Shu needs to be more polite.
There is always a funeral to attend.
Shu Shu nodded.
Although she was dissatisfied with the ladies of Beizi Mansion before, she really did not include the seventh lady.
She used to live in the palace and was not allowed to see anyone, but when she opened the palace, she became pregnant and didn't see many guests.
By the time she gave birth, Mrs. Seven was in her third trimester of pregnancy.
So if you really want to talk about it, I have only seen it three times in total.
Once when the seventh lady got married, once when Peng Chun was in mourning, and once when the mistress got engaged.
"Third sister-in-law is probably going to go too..."
Shu Shu said.
Not only was the deceased Seventh Lady the sister of San Fujin, but the Ninth Grandma of Beizi Mansion over there was also San Fujin's half-sister and Shu Shu's other cousin.
Xiaoliu couldn't help complaining: "How come you can only marry this family?"
What this is talking about is that Su Nu has a daughter who married into the palace and is also the brother-in-law of San Fujin.
Including the mistress, the younger generation of Sunu Beizifu and Dong E's family have been married four times.
It was like changing the kiss, and they changed it several times.
This is simply impossible in other homes.
It is true that there are too many children of the younger generation in Sunubeizi's house. Now there are only about forty people. It is also popular to marry into the family's family, just like "kidding one after another".
Shu Shu patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll find it for you when the time comes."
She had discussed the matter of bloodline with her parents. Even if Xiaosi was looking for a marriage with someone who knew her well, the bloodline would be taken into consideration.
Xiaoliu said: "Let Enie pick the fair little girl."
Although the mourning sounds are welcome, it would be pretentious to say that the Shu Shu siblings would be sad.
He was almost like a stranger. I met him less than three or two times in total.
The mistress studied and knew the difference between a concubine's daughter and a concubine's daughter, and said: "Sister, my cousin had many concubines in his backyard and before his death, and there were also many concubines and concubines in the house. Why are they both concubines and concubines? A virgin’s?”
When Peng Chun was mourning last year, the two concubines also returned to the house to mourn.
Shu Shu only knew about the background of the seventh lady. Her biological mother was a young widow. Her husband died after the family brought in a new child. After having sex with Peng Chun for a while, she hid the fact that she was pregnant. This was her habit of being the master of the family. I don’t want to become a concubine.
Later, when my daughter got older and was going to be drafted, I found Peng Chun.
As a result, it happened that Peng Chun was being punished for the defeat of Ulan Bu Tong and lost the capital of Manchuria. He was worried about being criticized, so he begged to come to Qi Xi.
As for the two concubines, she really didn't know.
It's just that the concubine's birth was arranged and her marriage was arranged. Why didn't Peng Chun make other arrangements for the two concubines?
Shu Shu looked at Mrs. Bo.
The uncle said: "My biological mother has an unclean background, and she was born in a foreign house. No one will recognize her as her mother. She has a different personality. Her mother's family is also a serious bannerman, and she can trace her roots."
When it's time to eat, the dining table is set directly in the back room.
Mrs. Bo didn't like meat and fish, so Shu Shu had her make Bazhen cabbage rolls and carrot and egg rolls.
In addition to the roast duck, half a lamb chop was also roasted.
Xiaosan and Xiaoliu both have big appetites, and since they are staying at their sister's house, they don't have to resort to any pretense, and they eat to their heart's content.
Even Brother Ninth was taken along and he ate several more bites.
It's not until you finish eating that you feel at ease.
However, Shu Shu also urged the mistress to go back and said: "Ask Enie how the family is going to attend the funeral. Send someone over to tell me..."
Dutong Mansion is the seventh lady's natal family in name only. She got the news today and will go to the funeral.
Then I have to go to the coffin for three days.
The seventh lady is a junior, and it is summer now. It is not convenient to stop the funeral, so it will probably be sent within seven days.
The mistress made a note of it and rode away with his long attendant.
Xiaoliu's place was filled with large and small packages. Zhou Song brought two rough eunuchs back to the West Garden.
He didn't want to stay any longer, because at this time, the companion reading center hadn't opened meals yet, and he could just bring food back to add some food to his friends.
As soon as the two brothers left, the elder brother's place became quiet again.
Brother Jiu said: "Xiao Liu's way of calling friends is up to you..."
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "When I was his age, I didn't worry so much."
After one and a half years in the palace, he has grown rapidly.
Brother Jiu said: "This is a good thing, young man. It's not good to be too shy. Fusong and Xiaoer are just too honest."
Shu Shu smiled.
The waiter is really honest.
Fusong is not an honest person, he is a man who has his own plans. No matter how he behaves, he will always have to support himself in the future.
Thinking of San Fujin, Shu Shu called Walnut and said: "Before it gets dark, go to the head office to meet San Fujin and tell him about the seventh lady."
The walnut went out in response and headed towards where it came from.
Here in Sanfujin, the couple had just finished eating.
There were ducks tonight, and the couple was in a good mood.
It's not that the four ducks were happy for nothing, but that with the normal courtesy, the previous incident of knocking on the door can be regarded as a reversal.
The third elder brother praised: "Be careful in the future and don't make it happen again. People with skills have tempers."
San Fujin glanced at Brother San and said, "You better remember this sentence. I have a better memory and avoid my sister."
This cousin is supposed to be on his side, but he would be foolish to alienate her.
The third elder brother was speechless and said: "Why, are you still threatening me?"
Sanfujin snorted: "Anyway, I won't endure it in vain."
The couple was bickering when the girl at the door reported, "Fu Jin, Jiu Fujin has sent someone over."
The couple stopped talking, and the third elder brother glanced at the clock and said, "It doesn't seem like a good thing to come to the door at this time."
San Fujin also thought so, nodded and said: "Call in."
Walnut came in, and after greeting San Fujin and San Age, he told the news of the loss of the seventh lady of the palace.
San Fujin sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, I understand. If your Fujin comes over at any time, send someone in advance to see if he can come together."
Walnut made a note of it and retreated.
The third elder brother remembered that when he was in Shengjing the year before last, he mistakenly thought that the seventh lady was Qi Xi's illegitimate daughter, and sighed: "I have only heard of this person, and have never met him, so this time I have lost my trust. .”
San Fujin remembered that he was also afraid before giving birth to a child. Fortunately, the birth went smoothly.
The period of childbirth is difficult, and women seem to be struggling for their lives, mostly because they are stuck with their first child.
My sister, who had been married for several years, had never given birth. Her mother-in-law was still there, and she was urging her to give birth to a child in a side room. She sought medical advice and finally became pregnant with her first child. Who would have thought that she would end up like this.
"I wonder how the child is doing?"
Sanfu Jindao.
The third elder brother thought for a while and said: "Maybe I didn't save it, maybe I saved it because it was weak, so I didn't mention it to the outside world."
Sanfujin said: "That is also Amma's daughter. I always have to go and have a look."
The third elder brother nodded and said: "Let's see. When I was in the clan mansion before, Sunubeizi also took good care of me. That's because of his good popularity."
But when it comes to the Sunubezi family, this is also a lesson learned from the past.
The third elder brother reminded San Fujin and said: "You have to be more frugal in the future. If there is a quota, just follow the quota, so as not to be unable to collect all the money for the family division of the younger generation, which will be too shabby."
San Fujin looked at his third elder brother and said, "If you say this, please slap me in the face carefully. Who is the person in this house who doesn't follow the rules? Your little sweetheart Tian Gege..."
】
The third elder brother waved his hand and said: "Don't mention this, people will think that I spoiled my concubine and destroyed my wife. I pitied her before for not having a child. From now on... it's better to follow the rules..."
The emperor's father made it clear that he wanted to be the concubine, and the title of concubine in the clan was lowered again and again.
If I still put Tian Gege in front of me, I would be acting ungratefully...

The fifth house in the north is the main room and the second room in the west.
After Walnut returned from his home, Shu Shu left her to talk and said, "What did your family say?"
Walnut said generously: "I, Eni, will send a message to the Gao family and let them decide on the right day. It can be in the twelfth lunar month or the first lunar month of the coming year."
Shu Shu knew that Walnut was the eldest daughter, Ama had a bad mind, and Eni had no idea. She had always been the one to support the family before, and her temper was a bit stubborn.
She thought about the situation of the Gao family and said: "Although Gao Bin's family said before that they would separate his family, they can't really live as two families. It's right to be more respectful to the elders. There is also a grandma here who also coaxes him. some."
Of the three sons of the Gao family, the eldest son was separated when he got married.
Gao Bin is the second son, and the Gao family's previous plan was to divide the family, leaving only the youngest son by his side.
Now that the Gao family has a left-leader position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and three sons, just like here in the Dutong Mansion, they have to guard against any bad blood between the brothers.
"Gao Bin has great ambitions, and his future may not necessarily be limited to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, if the left leader is given to you in the future, you can just keep it. If it is not given to you, there is no need to care too much."
Shu Shu said.
Now that Gao Bin's brother is in the army, he has a bright future, so there is no need to worry.
My younger brother is still studying. If he fails the Eight Banners imperial examination in the future, he can directly take over Gao Yanzhong's left position, and then fill in the six ministerial officials.
Walnut nodded and said: "Fujin, don't worry. I have been with you for three years and I have learned very little about other things. I have learned a few percent about how to be filial to my elders, which is enough."
Shu Shu said: "It's good that you know what you're doing. You know that you don't have a palm-up attitude, and you don't like to live in the backyard. But if you want to go out as an errand, you have to have a stable family. Otherwise, you won't be able to live in peace. It’s necessary.”
Walnut said: "Yes, I took note of it."
After Walnut exited, Brother Jiu came out of the study, looked at Shu Shu and said, "That guy Gao Bin is no longer working as an errand in the Prince's Mansion. You still nod to let this girl come back to our place to work as an errand?"
Shu Shu said: "The people I taught are very easy to use. Gao Bin is in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not assigned to Sibeile Mansion. Before he gets a serious job, it's okay for Walnut to work here."
Brother Jiu thought about this and said, "I wonder how Aunt Xianglan is doing now? When I was a child, my mother-in-law said that when Auntie Xianglan comes out, she will come to the Prince's Mansion as an errand."
Shu Shu said: "After giving birth to a daughter, I should prepare for pregnancy and wait until I have a son."
Xianglan was a bride, and she was designated to have a son to support the family.
Previously, people in Shu Shu were tight, so I also thought about Xianglan.
It would be great if Xianglan's first child was the eldest son, so that she could work as an errand without being in a hurry to give birth to the second child.
Now that she is giving birth to a daughter, it will be a few years before Xianglan wants to work as a errand...
