Although the twelfth elder brother did not understand the ninth elder brother's intention, he still acted according to the instructions. After two days of searching, I selected an empty official residence near Dong'anmen.
Brother Jiu didn't go to the site to see it, he just asked around and found out that there were more than 80 rooms, only seven of them, which was more than 20 rooms more than Zhang Ying's gifted house, so he chose this one and arranged the construction. The company worked in three shifts to repair the house.
Such movement naturally caused a lot of discussion outside. Within two days of the news, it arrived at Yuqing Palace. The prince was preparing a review. After listening to the report below, he looked at the letter from Sheng Jing on the bookcase and wrote a reply.
The tenth prince also asked about this matter and said: "Is it the Khan Ama's order? If you value the Tong family so much, why don't you give them a house outside?" The size of the houses in the imperial city is limited, and they are still mixed with Bao Yi, which is not as good as in the inner city. Other mansion style.
Brother Ninth said casually: "Perhaps you are still undecided? Or maybe you are worried about Longkodo and want to keep it under your nose?" The Tong family has been relatives for nearly forty years, and their children are all over the government and the public. Even before Tong Guowei stepped down, Just vaguely
The title of "Tong Banchao". There has been less movement in the past two years. The tenth elder brother nodded and said: "Perhaps it is true. Although Longkodo is also a warrior, he is different from Orundai. He is more popular and has more contacts." The ninth elder brother said: "Isn't that just right? Put his new The house is placed in front of the guard camp, so that everyone can see the prominence of their family..." The tenth elder brother was a little confused and said: "Don't the ninth elders dislike Shun Anyan? Why did he have a quarrel with Longkodo? "Because the heir to the Duke of Tong's palace had not been decided in the early years, Shun Anyan and Longkodo were in danger of competing.
Brother Jiu doesn't like Shun Anyan, so there is no reason to target Longkodo unless the two of them also have bad feelings. The two brothers came in and came out together, why didn't he know about this?
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "You are still young and have forgotten that on the first day when we went to study, Longkodo had just been promoted to a first-class bodyguard and was working as an errand in Qianqing Palace. He didn't give way when he saw the two of us. He said, standing proudly, waiting for us to say hello." Brother Ten thought about it carefully, and seemed to have this impression: "It seems that we didn't suffer, Brother Ninth reprimanded him for being rude, and he was quite He scratched his neck, so I kicked him..." Ninth Brother said: "Then I listened to Shun Anyan chanting for a long time, 'The elders and the young are in order'. After that, someone outside said bad things about the two of us. Now think about it, this fan Apart from the Tong family, there is no one else who can cause trouble." Under normal circumstances, the tenth elder brother would feel the same hatred towards the enemy, and he couldn't laugh or cry at the moment.
This is all too long ago. Brother Ninth Brother said again: "Their family is too rampant from the beginning. A concubine can drive Jueluo Nu to death just by relying on his favor. If he is allowed to get up, he will still have the status of an elder, and there will be no way to talk about it in the future." He will ride on our heads..."
"But in the past two years, I have been living like a cat in Shengjing. What if I change my temper and behave with my tail between my legs? In that case, Khan Ama will still lift him up. The Duke of Cheng'en in their house is just deposed, not cut off. You have to give it back, either Longkodo or Shun Anyan, both are disgusting..."
"I just thought about giving enough dignity. So should I be arrogant or continue to be arrogant? I regret that Amma can't tolerate it anymore, so I dealt with it all..." The tenth brother listened and nodded: "The ninth brother thought about it. Zhouquan..." The digging of holes became more and more sophisticated, leaving no trace.
The ninth elder brother said proudly: "It's nothing, I just do my errands carefully." When they arrived at the prince's residence, the ninth elder brother said to Shu Shu: "Haha, Khan Ama knows about this and will only praise me for doing the job well... "Shu Shu also praised the ninth elder brother and said: "You are really awesome." The second brother of the Tong family was losing power at the moment. The ninth elder brother, without Kangxi's special instructions, found the best official in the inner city and asked people to pay attention. Although the repairs are not a help in times of need, they still show some kindness.
Such a character does not need to be appreciated by the Tong family, as long as Kangxi sees it in his eyes. *After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be autumn rain and cold.
The weather is getting completely cooler. On August 20th, it’s time to wear a warm hat. Shu Shu's jade jewelry of various colors has also been put away and will be replaced with gold jewelry.
While the holy driver was still on his way to the north, there was an imperial edict that the imperial eunuch Long Keduoqi had been reinstated as a first-class bodyguard.
Everyone knows that the Tong family is going back to Beijing, and it is Longkoduo's house who is coming back. Shu Shu here is also secretly waiting to meet the famous Li Si'er.
At this time, the name has not yet been revealed, and Longkodo's main wife is still there. Because Longkodo was involved in his family, he was not reused by Kangxi, and he himself was withered. This Li Si'er did not become rampant, but just changed from an outhouse to a concubine.
Qi Fujin's Enie has recovered, and she is also happy. On this day, she personally went to the prince's mansion to give birthday gifts.
"There are evil rumors outside. It is said that Concubine Tong's mother is dead. The Tong family has already selected a beautiful girl from the side branch..." Qi Fujin was so depressed that he ate melon seeds and said to Shu Shu: "The Tong family They don’t know what’s interesting. The emperor gave a favor and exempted the girls from the three clans from the draft. They didn’t know what it meant? They eagerly sent a few girls from the side clan to Beijing. Even if they were selected, they would still be better than Concubine Tong in terms of maternal status. Are you high?" Shu Shu said: "They got promoted through nepotism, and that's all they think about." A queen is a hereditary and irreplaceable Duke of Cheng'en, and she still has decades of honor and favor.
Nowadays, it is normal to have two people who are not satisfied. Qi Fujin shook his head and said: "Greedy is not enough. Everyone knows that the emperor is lenient to the Tong family. Even if the old Duke has a serious fault, it is just a suspension of his title. When he leaves, his children and grandchildren will treat him with dignity. Such a frivolous thing, this title It's really hard to say." Shu Shu said: "It has nothing to do with us anyway, just watch the fun." Qi Fujin nodded and said: "Well, every backyard has a princess, and those who should have heirs have heirs, and there are no heirs. There is no shortage of people in the backyard, so it shouldn’t be our turn to add new people." The two sisters-in-law chatted and mentioned Jiugege's new makeup.
"I should follow the example of the third sister-in-law, but what if the third sister-in-law can't come back in time?" Qi Fujin said. The date for Jiugege's wedding has been decided.
Si Fujin is a compatriot sister-in-law, so it is not good for them to follow Si Fujin's example. Shu Shu said: "Wait and see. If the third sister-in-law doesn't come back when we get there, we will just wait the same as the fourth sister-in-law." Qi Fujin nodded and said, "That's right." The two sisters-in-law were chatting, and there were people outside. There were rapid footsteps.
It's Cui Baisui here.
"Fujin, someone from Wubeile Mansion came and said that Wufujin launched the attack!" After hearing this, Shu Shu stood up immediately. Wufujin’s due date is in late August, it’s about time.
The midwife over there has long been living in Baylor Mansion. Enie from Wufujin and the nun from Ningshou Palace also accompanied her.
Shu Shu here is also waiting for news every day. Now it's finally here. She looked at Qi Fujin and said, "Sister-in-law Qi..." Qi Fujin was a warm-hearted person and was also on good terms with Wu Fujin, so she immediately said, "Let's go there together." The two sisters-in-law didn't delay, so they took the carriage directly to Wu Fujin. Baylor House.
The delivery room in Wufujin is also located in the back room of the inner courtyard. When Shu Shu and Qi Fujin came over, their amniotic water had broken.
With the nuns from the Queen Mother's Palace sitting in charge, the scene was orderly. On the contrary, Enie from Wufujin was in her thirties and had given birth several times, but she was used to being manipulated by her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, so she was still a little unstable at the moment.
Seeing Wu Fujin biting the handkerchief and not crying or making a fuss, she shed tears and choked up: "Cry when the pain is severe, don't break your teeth..." Shu Shu and Qi Fujin looked at each other, very worried. have no choice.
Qi Fujin hurriedly helped him and pulled his wife down and said, "Auntie, please go out and take a rest and catch your breath." Shu Shu sat on the stool beside the kang and looked at Wu Fujin's hair and clothes. It was after taking a bath and changing. I have taken off my clothes.
When Wu Fujin saw Shu Shu coming, he grabbed her hand as if he had a backbone. Shu Shu asked: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?" Wu Fujin also relaxed and nodded: "I ate six eggs, which is a bit overwhelming." Shu Shu held the pocket watch, looked at the pointer on it, and said: "Sister-in-law, let's look at the timing of labor pains and contractions..." Wufujin always convinced her and nodded: "Yes, one after another." If the contractions are regular, it means that the mother is in good health and the delivery will be faster. Some; if it is irregular, the production time will be longer.
Shu Shu knew this, but didn't show it. After the test was completed, the results were not surprising. Wufujin's contractions were irregular.
The two midwives next to me were experienced and looked at each other solemnly after hearing this. Shu Shu had already put away the pocket watch, her expression remained unchanged, and she comforted Wu Fujin and said, "Ji Ji is just now, and it will take two or three hours to give birth? Does my sister-in-law hurt too much now? Do you want to go for a walk?" Wu Fujin's previous update There was more fear and nervousness. Now he relaxed, felt his stomach, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt too much." Wu Fujin got down to the ground, took a breath, and started walking slowly.
After Qi Fujin settled him, he pulled his wife in. Seeing this, he praised: "Just walk more. Slow down before opening three fingers. Take a few more steps and you will be faster when you turn back." Wu Fujin nodded, his forehead was already covered with sweat.
After walking for several times, her face turned a little pale and the labor pains became more intense, so she lay down again. Shu Shu comforted him: "The bone seam is open, it will be soon. Sister-in-law Wu, don't think about having a baby. If you can't think about it, just divert your mind..." Wu Fujin looked at Shu Shu and Qi Fujin and said, "Then I think about the draft..." Shu Shu said: "Think about it..." Wu Fujin squinted his eyes and remembered the draft in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign.
In February, when it was warm and then cold, she had to wear quilted clothes, so she went to the palace to be drafted with her clan sisters.
Although she was Princess of the Vice Minister's Mansion, as the daughter of a pen-tender, no one thought too much about it. The family just regarded it as just going through the motions, and already started to think about seeing each other after putting down the sign.
The eldest aunt mentioned the nephew from her mother's family, and the eldest aunt mentioned the in-laws from her husband's family. They are all from the same family, and they are descendants of a branch of the family.
As a result, I passed the primary election, passed the second election, and here we are.
"Stay in the palace and check." Most of the beautiful girls who have reached this stage are ready to get married. At that time, the family did not dare to think about the prince's elder brother. Even she herself knew it and only thought that he would be the elder brother of the clan.
As a result, after leaving the palace, a marriage proposal came down...
