As the couple talked, time flew by. It seemed that in no time, we arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Brother Jiu got off the carriage and turned around to help Shu Shu get out of the carriage. Shu Shu, on the other hand, saw the figure in front of him. It turned out that Si Age was coming on horseback.
Seeing this, Shu Shu was busy and blessed. Only then did Brother Jiu realize what he was doing. He looked up at the sky and felt that it was still early.
He said something about it: "Fourth brother, are you back from the Yamen so early today?" On weekdays, aren't you wearing the stars and the moon?
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, who should he blame? Wasn't it because the ninth elder brother was showing off that the emperor's father specifically ordered him to go home an hour earlier?
Although it is not a formal oral instruction, it is a golden word, and the fourth elder brother naturally obeys. Brother Jiu knew that this person must be here for anything, so he said: "You are not worried about harvesting corn, are you? Don't worry, I will take half a day to go there when the time comes." The saint's patrol outside the Great Wall will take at least two months. I will come back in mid-to-late September, and the corn will be harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Fourth Brother nodded, but had no intention of leaving. Seeing this, Shu Shu knew that the brothers had something to say, so she made a confession and took Xiao Chun and Walnut back to the main room.
The ninth elder brother took the fourth elder brother to the front yard and living room. Seeing that there was no one else around, the fourth elder brother asked: "Where has Fusong gone?" The ninth elder brother hesitated for a moment and said, "I was asked by Khan Ama to take charge of an errand." The fourth elder brother saw that he looked guilty, and Said: "Is this something you came up with again? It hasn't been realized yet?" Brother Jiu moved his eyes away and said: "Anyway, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Fourth brother, please don't ask, ask me. I can't say, when I can talk about it later, it still depends on Khan Ama." The fourth elder brother was not annoyed, but only warned: "Since you are strict with your words, you must be strict to the end." The ninth elder brother nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course Now, this Imperial matter is not something that can be gossiped about casually. It is designated that no one will talk about it." Si Age said: "When harvesting corn, just take a few days to worry about it, keep an eye on calculating the output, and then give Khan Ama, please tell me." The ninth elder brother heard that this was wrong and quickly shook his head and said: "Don't bother, you should arrange for others, as if they are greedy for your credit and do not take advantage of this." The fourth elder brother frowned and said: "What are you talking about? It was your idea to try to grow corn in Gyeonggi Province..." Brother Jiu stood up and said, "But it's you, Fourth Brother, who has been doing the work for the past six months. Don't be nagging. Khan Ama is Hutu. People are not successful? Let’s not let credit go like this. I get what’s mine, and what’s not mine, what’s the point of me reaching out? Don’t cheat your younger brother..." Fourth Brother was speechless.
He didn't hold it, so he changed his words when he realized his mistake: "I thought it was wrong, then I'll keep an eye on it and try to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival..." The ninth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother, looked him up and down, and said, "fourth elder brother" Brother, do you have a public heart, or are you seeking personal gain in the name of serving the public good?" After hearing this, the fourth elder brother frowned and said, "Why is it involved in personal gain?" The ninth elder brother pointed to the east and said, "The fourth sister-in-law and that Li Gege is about to give birth. You insist on returning to Beijing to harvest corn at this time. Who will believe that you are completely selfless?" Only then did the fourth elder brother know what the ninth elder brother was referring to.
The timing is indeed coincidental. Si Fujin and Li Gege's due dates are both in early September, but this woman's delivery is not guaranteed, and delays are rare. Even ten and a half months in advance is common.
The ninth elder brother said: "Aren't there still people from Baylor's Mansion staring at the cornfield? There are still people who dare to trick you. If you can't do it, you can go out and relax for almost two months." The fourth elder brother did not nod or shake his head and said: " I have my own arrangements..." He didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
Brother Jiu sent it out and knew that he came here to remind him with good intentions, so he said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, we live next to each other. When the fourth sister-in-law starts, I, Fujin, will just go over..." Here, he frowned and said: "What's going on with the Nala family? What's wrong with the old lady accompanying the childbirth in Baylor Mansion? She still insists on taking her back. It seems filial at this time..." The fourth elder brother's face didn't look good either. The behavior of the Nala family was not very satisfactory either.
But who is the culprit? The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother. There is the example of Ninth Prince. The Nala family is worried that Sibeile Mansion will follow suit and detain the old lady to support her. In that case, that one will become a joke.
When the ninth elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother was looking at him, he gave him some advice and said: "How can a girl like this not want to be nirvana? The more it is at this time, the more willing she is to be accompanied by her own mother. Shengjia empress just left the capital. , Fourth brother, please go over there in person tomorrow and ask the old lady to come over, I don’t believe the Nala family dares to keep anyone..." Fourth brother waved his hand noncommittally and said, "Okay, don't worry about it blindly, I know it well." After saying that, he got on his horse and went to Sibeile Mansion.
At this moment, the eighth elder brother was coming around the corner and saw the fourth elder brother coming out of the ninth elder brother's house. The eighth prince was riding on the horse with a solemn expression on his face.
It seems that the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother have a very close relationship. The ninth elder brother had already turned back, and the fourth elder brother arrived at his door. When he saw the eighth elder brother riding back, he did not enter the house immediately, but dismounted and waited.
Seeing this, the eighth elder brother rushed forward, turned over, and said: "Fourth brother..." The fourth elder brother looked at him and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were blue, and said: "Even if you are busy with errands, you should take care of your body. , if you are sick, your concubine will be worried." The eighth elder brother nodded and said: "I understand, thank you fourth brother for your concern." He wanted to ask the fourth elder brother about the Northern Patrol Women's Volume.
Are you taking Fujin? Or with grid? When the words came to my lips, I swallowed them again. The holy concubine is the one with the female title, and the ranked concubines include the virtuous concubine, the concubine He, the concubine Min, and the noble concubine.
Then should the accompanying princes also be regarded as women with status? However, among the princes in the retinue, the eldest prince did not have Fujin, the fourth prince and the fifth prince who were in labor. The married princes also had the third prince and the eighth prince.
It seems useless to ask Fourth Brother. He could only follow the example of the third elder brother, not the fourth elder brother. The eighth prince swallowed his words again.
The fourth elder brother happened to be in a hurry to go home and discuss with Si Fujin about picking up people at Nala's house, so he said: "Let's go back then, we will be busy these days." The eighth elder brother nodded and left the door of Sibeile's house.
The brothers have reached the point where they have nothing to say. *Ninth Prince's Mansion, upper room. Shu Shu had already washed herself briefly and changed into outer clothes. She was wearing Gebu clothes.
This material is cool to wear. It can only be used as a shirt on weekdays. It is fine to wear at home, but not suitable for going out.
Brother Jiu came back and saw that she liked the material, so he said, "I'll ask someone to buy some from Guangzhou for next summer." Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it. There are merchants, just buy it in Beijing." The couple just bought it in Beijing. The two of them had quite a full lunch, and since they weren't hungry at night, they simply ate.
After the couple rested in the evening, the ninth elder brother told Shu Shu about the fourth elder brother's previous visit.
"I saw something was wrong, so I came over and asked. This is the disadvantage of living next to each other. Just like when I lived in my elder brother's house, everything that happened was under the eyes of others..." Brother Jiu muttered, truly regretting it. .
As long as there is a regret medicine, he will take the tenth prince to choose a place on the boundary of Zhenghuang Banner, preferably a southerly location, next to Zhenghong Banner.
At present, of the two neighbors, one has to guard against mischief, and the other must guard against nagging. Not very pleasant.
Shu Shu comforted: "I only like the ones I'm optimistic about. The Zhijun Prince's Mansion and Sanbeile Mansion are not small, but that's the regulation of the mansion. The surrounding open space is not as big as ours. The side rooms occupied in the back streets are half the size of the mansion." It's so big." This side is close to the city wall. It is considered a remote area, so the area of the official house is larger.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right. If the yard at the back is not used for free and only rents are collected, it can save a thousand taels a year." It's a pity that just thinking about it, it is impossible to let outsiders live here. .
Shu Shu thought of Fusong, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Will the emperor test the medicine on prisoners awaiting death row?" Brother Ninth nodded and said, "That should be the case." Shu Shu frowned and said, "But Brother Eight was there a while ago. Isn't the Ministry of Punishment keeping an eye on the Qiu Jue files? Could it be that he knows something?" Brother Jiu said, "If you know it, you know it. How dare he publicize it?" Fusong was so overwhelmed that it was the paperwork that summarized it. Zhao Chang was responsible for the specific affairs. .
When the Eighth Prince meets someone, he will become honest. Shu Shu thought about it and let it go. The ninth elder brother has already talked about encouraging the fourth elder brother to pick up the old lady Nala.
"We are just relatives. If there is really a danger, the midwife will ask 'protect the elder and protect the child'. There needs to be someone who can make the decision..." He expressed his selfishness: "We can help, but You can't cause trouble for yourself, it will be bad if you complain." Shu Shu was stunned, she had never thought of this before.
She touched her head. Really stupid! She would have thought of this before changing. Her kindness to others is to protect herself, otherwise she will not get work for herself.
But when she went to visit her two sisters-in-law this morning, she didn't think of this and took care of everything.
"Fourth brother, the old lady will take over here and it will be stable. When the time comes, as an elder and as a mother-in-law, she will naturally have the right to make the decision..."
"Where the fifth brother is, I also persuaded him to go to his in-law's house. Loyalty comes first and filial piety, let alone him. The old lady of the La family has other daughters-in-law and daughters. Even if she doesn't, there are maids, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around her. The fifth brother's mother-in-law has to be there. Are you sick?" Every family has difficulty reciting sutras.
The Wufujin family is the second wife. The old lady favors the eldest son. She is afraid that the second son and his wife will use the prince's son-in-law to bully the eldest son. She is worried about the Spyge and the worldly position, so she usually suppresses the second wife.
His Talla family is also a middle-class noble, but the level is not high, so it cannot be ranked. But for the banner people, it is the job for their descendants for several lifetimes.
The old lady was naturally afraid that her second son would take her away from her. Brother Jiu told Shu Shu about Wufujin’s natal family, and said: "Zhang Baozhu is a bit foolish and filial. If the family had been separated early, even if there was no prince's son-in-law, he would have been promoted to a chief officer through experience in the writing style... "He is the most defensive, but he already knows the importance of it. He doesn't rashly interfere in his family's housework. He only encourages the fifth elder brother to show up.
Shu Shu listened and held Brother Jiu's hand, feeling much more at ease. She is stupid, but someone is smart... *The next update will be around 12 noon on May 16, welcome to Qidian app
