The fourteenth brother no longer cared about climbing the tree, and honestly followed the thirteenth brother to pull carrots. The twelfth elder brother did not go over, but said to the ninth elder brother: "Longkodo occupied the courtyards on the left and right..." The second-bedroom Tong family's public mansion was transformed into a princess mansion, and was given to Jiu Gege.
Longkodo currently lives in a gift house in the imperial city, a five-entry house. It was Brother Jiu who had been ordered by the emperor to clean it up.
The ninth elder brother asked in surprise: "How many people did you bring back? A five-room house can't fit in, and there are three connected ones?" The twelfth elder brother said: "It seems that they brought more than 40 carts of things back to Beijing, men and women The population brought more than a hundred people..." Brother Jiu couldn't help but frowned and said, "Whose yard is this next to? Are you trying to bully others?" All the houses in the imperial city are under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the population is under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It doesn't matter whether it's a bachelor who is granted a house by the minister, he only has the right of residence.
These five people who enter the big house can become the prime minister. The house given to Zhang Ying, the great scholar, is the fifth level.
"From the Dong family..." said the twelfth elder brother. After hearing this, the ninth elder brother said unhappily: "Are you bullying people because the Dong family has lost its head queen and its reputation has been ruined?" The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said, "It should be just to catch up. Yes, if we change to another family living next to each other, we will also change the designation." Unless you have the status of bachelor Zhang Ying, the Tong family will not move lightly, and others will not take it seriously.
Brother Jiu also thinks about it. With the arrogance of the Tong family, they have always looked down upon others, so there is no need to pick on others and bully them.
"Too domineering..." Brother Jiu noted this and was not happy about it. That's not the Dong family's house, that's the house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They just kicked people out to occupy the house without even saying hello. You must know that these official houses still have to pay rent, but the prices are extremely low.
After the three elder brothers had a dinner at the Ninth Prince's Mansion and left with everything to eat, the ninth elder brother returned to the main room and mentioned Longkodo to Shu Shu, looking a little hesitant.
"Do you think Khan Amaxiao knows about this? Do you want to file a complaint?" Shu Shu thought for a while and said, "Let's just wait and see what happens. He just came back, and the emperor should have asked people to pay attention to him. He may not know this." It's a matter of fact, I said this specifically, it's like eye medicine." The key is to harm others without benefiting oneself, and there is no need to offend the villain.
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Then I will let him run rampant? If the house is not enough, what should I do if he takes over the shop again?" Shu Shu said: "According to the rules, if the Dong family's house is occupied, even if I stab him But if we go back and confront the emperor, the Dong family will probably say that they are willing to transfer. By then, I will no longer be a human being." The ninth elder brother touched his chin and said: "It's really hard to protect the Dong family in the past six months. His reputation has dropped, and he is like a frightened bird. He is afraid of offending the Tong family." Shu Shu advised: "In terms of etiquette and law, Longkoduo is my direct uncle; in terms of blood relationship, he is my cousin. Older brothers like Third Brother and Fourth Brother can only treat Longkodo with a respectful attitude. I'd better stay away from him, so as not to deal with it and be upset." Ninth Brother curled his lips and said: "You say That's right, I should stay away from him, but all the accounts that should be recorded should be recorded by him. If I don't go to the emperor to tell him, others will also go to the emperor to tell him..." The couple planned well, thinking that it was just a favor. There was little contact, and there was no interaction with the Tong family at all. It was not easy to get along with each other. As a result, the Tong family's post was accepted the next day.
On September 25th, Tong's house in the Imperial City will be hosting warm pot wine. I will post below to invite all the princes and prince Fujin to attend.
This day is a bit rushed, sending posts two days in advance is not considered respectful. But according to the uncle and nephew, there is nothing to find fault with.
They are nominally close relatives or elders, which is different from the banquets between peers. Brother Ninth went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Shu Shu looked at the post and felt helpless.
Even if she was curious about Li Si'er, she was just a little curious and not worth her trouble. But after the post was sent down, the palace was still looking at it and could not ignore it.
With no other choice, she called Aunt Xing and said, "Go to Sanbeile Mansion, send two baskets of fruits, and ask Sanfujin how to prepare a housewarming ceremony." Shu Shu had also prepared a housewarming ceremony here before. , is the time when the princes open their mansions.
However, the Tong family was not familiar with this place and could not follow the rules of that time, so they could only act according to Sanfujin. Grandma Xing agreed, took a little girl with her, and took a car to Sanbeile Mansion.
*Sanbeile Mansion, main room. San Fujin looked at the post and was very confused. I have a relationship with the Tong family, but that was before Tong Guowei came to question him, and it was a birthday and new year gift for Tong Guowei and his wife.
Tong Guowei is the uncle of the princes and one of the nominal grandfathers. When you get to the uncle on the next level, you no longer have this filial piety.
San Fujin didn't know how to prepare a birthday gift, so after thinking about it, he called his mother-in-law and said: "Take the third master's sign into the palace and ask for an audience with the Crown Princess. He said that he would pay his respects to the Crown Princess on my behalf, and then ask the Crown Princess Tong." How to prepare for the family's housewarming ceremony?" There has to be someone who makes the decision, and this idea was not easy for her to make.
Too much or too little, the younger brothers and sisters below will all follow her actions, and it is easy for her to fall into the trap. The mother-in-law responded and went to the palace.
Later, Grandma Xing arrived. Sanfujin said truthfully: "I have no rules here. I don't know how to prepare. I asked someone to ask the Crown Princess for advice. Once I get the letter, I will send someone to sue your master." Grandma Xing agreed and went back to report the truth to Shu Shu. .
Shu Shu here is talking to Shi Fujin. It turns out that Shi Fujin received a post from the Tong family asking someone to prepare a gift, but he couldn't find any precedent, so he came to Shu Shu to make up his mind.
"That's the Tong family. Doesn't it depend on Sister Ninth's face? The courtesy must not be too thin?" Shifu asked.
Shu Shu said: "Follow the crowd and see what the third sister-in-law does." In fact, the two families of the Tong family are not close.
Orundai had an arrogant temperament. He was not very respectful to his father when he was born. The father and son were at odds with each other, and he did not pay much attention to his uncles and cousins.
When Nanny Xing came back to report that San Fujin had sent someone to Yuqing Palace, the two sisters looked at each other.
Shi Fujin was surprised and said: "Are you so careful? Even the third sister-in-law can't make the decision..." Shu Shu said: "If you give it up when the Tong family is in bloom, at this time, you have to be more careful and thoughtful, so as not to offend anyone." Qi said. People love face, and hurting others' face also causes hatred.
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Then just wait. Hey, why did you choose twenty-five? We have to run for another day..." Shu Shu looked at the post and felt strange, so he asked Walnut to bring the almanac.
She turned to the twenty-fifth day of September, which was the beginning of winter. It was appropriate to sweep and bathe, but not to do anything inappropriate. On September 26th, it is better to meet relatives and friends and avoid moving.
There were no good days until the end of the month, but they were better than the 25th. Is it intentional or intentional?
Really brave. In the afternoon, San Fujin sent his nanny over with a gift list in her hand.
"This servant went to the palace and met the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess said that according to 60% of the preparations for the housewarming ceremony of the princes, our master has prepared these things..." Shu Shu took the gift list and looked at it.
There are six gifts in total, four ornaments and furnishings, and the rest are four jars of wine and four tables of cakes and banquets. When Shu Shu saw it, she was a little reluctant to give it up. She wanted two or three hundred taels of silver at least.
Some of the shops under her name can only make this profit in a year. This nanny was going to other princes' mansions, so Shu Shu asked Walnut to prepare double purses and send them out.
Shi Fujin came over, looked at this and said, "Isn't it said that courtesy reciprocates? When we moved last year, the Tong family didn't give any gifts, so are we at a loss?" Shu Shu also felt at a loss.
But some money has to be spent, such as Longkodo's side and Daobao's side. Who told Kangxi to be more nostalgic as he got older, and he was also more cautious about the superiority of elders and younger ones.
She said to Shi Fujin: "Let's estimate the price. Looking at the gift list from Sister-in-law Three, the four ornaments in the front are almost 180 taels of silver. The remaining 20 taels of wine and cakes, let's not exceed it." It's disrespectful to have the third sister-in-law." No one is short of ornaments and utensils, so they just find useless ones from the warehouse to make up the amount.
After hearing this, Shi Fujin couldn't help but frown and said: "But the ornaments over there are mostly gold and silver. What should I do if they are not that cheap?" She knew that it was just a waste of time and money, but she was reluctant to part with real gold and silver. .
Shu Shu was drinking tea and said: "Then look for it from the porcelain stored in the house, teapots, cups, or vases." Shi Fujin had a direction and nodded: "Then I understand. Just prepare like that..." Guessing that Brother Jiu was coming back, Shi Fujin went back next door.
Shu Shu asked Walnut to get the brochure from the big warehouse. All the festive gifts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are directly recorded in the large warehouse. Among them, those who can give gifts are also marked.
Therefore, it is easier to get together these four gifts: a set of tea sets, a pair of vases, a glass mountain, and a small screen for a bookshelf.
It looks flashy, but in fact it adds up to less than two hundred taels of silver... *The next update will be around 12 noon on May 30.
