The back courtyard of the Prince's Mansion is the Zhang Family.
Mrs. Gu is taking her girl to pack her husband's luggage. They will be away for a month. They have to pack a lot of clothes, luggage, and study room.
Especially in the study room, there is a book box installed.
Since Brother Ninth wanted to take someone out, he must have also handed over the errands.
Zhang Tingzhan and Cao Yueying both went to choose the site for the Rehe Palace.
There must be a spring and water, and the place must be large to leave room for future expansion.
The palace and the landscape are integrated, just like Changchun Garden.
Both of them had been to Changchun Garden and were excited to think that they could participate in the design and construction of the new Royal Garden.
Gu thought of this and said to the girl, "Master is holding back his anger."
The girl smiled and said: "Master Cao is quite famous. When I lived in the imperial city, my servants all heard about him."
Although it can be said that Zhang Tingzhan came out of the imperial examination, his reputation in the capital was naturally inferior to that of Cao Yueying.
Some people say that Cao Yueying has bad luck in the exams, otherwise he and his younger brother would be the top scholars in both civil and military affairs.
However, Zhang Tingzhan feels that the list is the most fair and impartial. If there is no name on the list, it means there are shortcomings.
The two of them are similar in age, so they are quite competitive.
It's just that the two of them didn't run into each other on errands, they had just met each other before.
This time I had an errand and wanted to compete.
Gu said: "The staff in the Prince's Mansion are all young, and the uncle is also getting younger."
At how old he was, he started to be competitive again.
Thinking of this, she looked at the bamboo in the corner of the room.
The bamboo was delivered last year, and the uncle was also vying for it. Unfortunately, there was still no movement here, and the same was true for the other two guards.
Mrs. Gu felt a little sad. Her two stepsons were married in her hometown, and her grandson would be born in two years.
At this time, Zhang Tingzhan came back. He saw his wife packing her luggage and said, "Pay attention to the others. Bring a few more books. Pack the two books "West Lake Travel Chronicle" and "Long Things Chronicle"."
He had read a lot of miscellaneous books before, but that's all. Now when he went back to choose a garden site, he couldn't show his timidity and just think about making amends.
Mrs. Gu said: "I'm just pretending, it's just that the uncle's fur coat has faded and he has to be sent outside today to have someone replace him with a new one."
Zhang Tingzhan said: "It doesn't matter, I'll go back if I don't get into the ninth place."
Gu said: "People from the Prince's Mansion came over and asked me to bring big sweaters and clothes. They said it is colder outside the customs than in the capital."
Zhang Tingzhan didn't say anything else.
Mrs. Gu said: "My mother-in-law sent someone to pick me up and stay there for a while. I will help my mother-in-law with the housework and teach my sister-in-law."
Zhang Tingzhan knew that his mother was worried about Gu living alone outside.
Although this place is next to the Prince's Mansion, there is no need to worry about public security, but it is not enough if there is no useful man in the family.
He nodded and said, "Go ahead. When I come back from my business trip, I'll take my sister over to stay for a while."
Gu pointed to the east and said, "Everything in the prince's palace has been moved. Why don't you, Brother Fusong, go? He hasn't shown much of his appearance in the past two months..."
The last time we met, it was before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Fu Song went to Zhang's house to deliver a holiday gift.
Zhang Tingzhan heard what Brother Nine mentioned and knew that Fusong was working as an errand in front of the emperor. He didn't mention anything specific and just said: "It seems that there are other errands, and the prince's palace also needs to retain people..."
*
Prince's Mansion, go to the upper room.
Brother Jiu has come back and is also telling Shu Shu about the people left behind.
"There is a county lord in the back house of the prince's mansion. The first ones are Manager Cui and Gui Dan..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu had no objection and just said: "It's been quite a while over at Fusong. Is there any new news from the Criminal Department?"
Brother Jiu thought carefully, shook his head and said: "There is no news, only the Qiujue has been suspended. If there is a suspicious case, the review will be slow. We have to send people to various provinces, and the round trip will take several months..."
Having said this, he paused and said: "Vaccination in the capital is mostly done in autumn and winter. I guess we should try it over there now."
Shu Shu's face showed joy.
Only if it is effective will you try it again and again.
Brother Jiu also thought of this and said happily: "I wonder if Fusong can record merit?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "If things are successful, not only the big merits will be recorded, but the small ones will be remembered. Fusong is still young, so don't be anxious."
The biggest benefit this time was to have his name in front of the emperor and let Kangxi know about this person.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "What about the two of us? Will Khan Amma also remember something?"
Shu Shu was afraid that he had too much hope and would be disappointed later, and said: "As long as Fengsheng and the others are fine when they get vaccinated in a few years, that will be fine. Everything else is not important."
Brother Jiu patted his forehead and said, "I have forgotten the priorities, but we can take care of the children and let's talk about other things."
Yesterday, the first day of October, people inside and outside the palace began to burn earth dragons.
The Tenth Prince and his wife also came to pick up Fengsheng and Akdan.
The two wet nurses, nannies, and carriages were all moved there.
It's in the west room of the main house of the Tenth Prince and his wife.
They cleared out the West Shao Room and the West Second Room and placed the two elder brothers there.
Needless to say, Feng Sheng has a good temper, and Shi Fujin hugs him every time he comes over, so he looks familiar and adapts well.
Akdan cried a lot here, and it didn't heal even if he was covered with Shu Shu's old clothes. They were so anxious that the Tenth Prince and his wife almost sent the child back, but Fengsheng grabbed Akdan nearby, and Akdan stopped crying. Voice.
This is also an unexpected gain.
At the very beginning, the three children were raised separately because they were afraid of affecting each other.
Even if it is left in one place, it will only last a few quarters of hours in the sun every day.
In this way, Akdan relies not only on Shushu, but also on Fengsheng, and will not worry about sticky feet in the future.
Akdan didn't come back last night and rested directly at the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
Brother Jiu thought of this, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Look, with just a little bit, you can really recognize someone, whether you or Feng Sheng, it's not necessary. As long as the nanny is here, you can remember it." It’s good to live together, maybe if we go away for a month, you won’t recognize us when you come back.”
Shu Shu felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this.
She thought it was physiological reasons that made her somewhat protective of her calf after giving birth.
There is some vague hostility towards wet nurses and nannies.
When she saw Mrs. Bo and Ni Guzhu, old and young, so intimate, she felt a little sour in her heart.
She knew that this feeling was wrong, so she tried her best to restrain it, and then it subsided little by little.
When she heard Brother Jiu mention this today, she felt a little excited again.
She hurriedly picked up a piece of black sesame candy from the small plate on the Kang table and ate it.
After Brother Ninth recited this sentence, he said something else, "Your birthday is on the road. If the road goes smoothly, we should go to Rehe. Then we will look for the surrounding temples and light lanterns to wish my mother-in-law a long life." age……"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay."
She doesn't believe in Buddhism in her heart, but now that the royal family respects Buddhism, it's good for the couple to follow the trend. She also uses karma to rein in the ninth prince to prevent him from going astray in the future.
While the couple was talking, there was movement outside.
It was Cui Baisui who came and said, "Master, Fujin, Guard Cao is back. See you at the front!"
Brother Jiu was delighted when he heard this, and said to Shu Shu: "It's better to come back this time than by chance. I'm missing someone reliable when I go out. Cao Shun is back. I'll go ahead and take a look."
In fact, among these people in the house, some are too young, and the two who are not young are old Confucians, which makes people feel uneasy.
Shu Shu nodded and watched Brother Jiu take Cui Baisui down. Remembering that Cao Shun returned to Jiangnan this time in the name of visiting relatives and picking up his daughter, he ordered Walnut: "Prepare a gift for the little girl. Seven, Eight years old without a head..."
Walnut thought for a while and said: "Can the golden lock from Shun'an Silver Building be good? There are still some in the warehouse, as well as golden fragrant balls..."
Shu Shu said: "Forget the golden lock, the golden fragrant ball, add a pair of children's bracelets, and add two stationery items."
The Cao family is not short of money, nor is they short of clothing materials.
The walnuts responded and were ready to go.
*
Front yard, study room.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, Cao Shun hit him with a thousand blows.
"Slave Cao Shun wishes Master Jiu to be in peace..."
He also came all the way, and he looked much better than when he came back from Yunnan.
Now that the canal is still open to navigation, taking a boat all the way is less tiring.
Brother Jiu raised his hand to support him and said: "An, you are also okay... Why have you been away for so long? I thought you would be able to come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Cao Shun did not reply immediately, but looked at the door.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu noticed something was wrong and whispered: "Have you caught someone?"
Cao Shun shook his head and said: "I didn't catch him, but I found him. Lord Gao also handed the secret code to the capital, but the emperor couldn't budge."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "You are in...Hangzhou?"
There is a customs in Hangzhou, and more merchants can go out.
The Jin family's sphere of influence is also Hangzhou.
Cao Shun nodded and said: "Well, that gentleman is a few years younger than Master Daobao. He is a businessman with a low reputation in Hangzhou. He is not ranked among the top. His external identity is that he is an old relative of the Jin family and has settled in Hangzhou for two years. It has been ten years since I talked about a local cloth merchant’s daughter as my wife. In fact, she was a daughter-in-law of the Jin family. Now the eldest son is about to marry..."
Brother Jiu sneered after hearing this and said, "The Jin family is really brave."
Cao Shun whispered: "My uncle said that the Jin family is going to die, but it shouldn't be obvious. Jiangnan is different from other places. Two generations of the Jin family, father and son, have been weaving and have been operating in Hangzhou for more than 30 years. They are directly responsible for the crime." , causing criticism, he should find an opportunity to be transferred back to the capital..."
The three major weaving companies in Jiangnan are the emperor’s eyes and ears in Jiangnan.
This is a problem, and you don't need to think about it to understand Yu Qian's depression.
Brother Jiu has no friendship with the Jin family, but is a little angry.
The Jin family was also very trusting and worried about the prince's status as a student, but they did not arrange for their children to go to Beijing for management. They only asked the steward to send heavy gifts to the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
I simply don’t know what to say.
The most important thing is that the Jin family is also connected with the Guo Luoluo family.
However, the most senior Jin family collapsed...
"Your uncle, is he going to be promoted?"
Brother Ninth said.
He doesn't like the Jin family, but Cao Yin has a connection here.
Cao Shun said: "Obviously, I may not move, but I should arrange for two part-time workers to make it easier for the uncle to travel around the south of the Yangtze River."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That's a good thing."
If there is any business involving Jiangnan in the future, Cao Yin will be able to tell the truth.
"Where are the weavers? And the dyers?"
Brother Jiu thought of business.
Cao Shun said: "The books have been signed, there are eighty people in total, waiting to go north in the first month of next year, so as not to delay the errands in Jiangning this winter."
Brother Jiu heard this and understood.
Cao Yin knew that it was bitterly cold in the capital and that weaving and dyeing work could not be started in winter until after February next year...
