The room was quiet. After a while, Concubine Tong choked and responded: "Thank you, empress..." She couldn't hold on any longer, she was shaking when she walked, and her chest felt tight, but she didn't dare to complain about illness.
Others responded, but the Crown Princess sat under the Queen Mother's seat, her eyes lowered, and she couldn't express the feeling in her heart. All daughters of the Tong family get it
"Mei En" is exempted from selection. Apart from the Tong family, the most annoying person is the prince. I heard that the prince dropped a celadon tea set.
Without thinking too much, you can guess that the prince had a tacit understanding with Tong Guowei before and wanted the Tong family daughter to enter Yuqing Palace.
How stupid. This idea is not wrong. After all, the Tong family is a relative of the emperor, and the most important foreign relatives of the emperor. It is not wrong for the prince to want to be close to the Tong family.
But if the emperor arranged for the Tong girls to enter the Yuqing Palace, then it was a marriage; if the prince secretly planned this, it was with ulterior motives.
But the prince had no scruples. The Queen Mother spoke to Concubine Min, Concubine He and Concubine Tong, then looked at Concubine Hui and said: "The beautiful women have been reported in the book. Remember to remind the emperor not to forget to choose the successor of Fujin for the eldest brother. He must be stable and good-tempered. "You can't be too young. Princess Zhijun's palace is already thirteen. If next year we choose a fourteen or fifteen-year-old to succeed Fujin, then the stepmother and stepdaughter will be similar in age, and they won't be able to take care of people.
Concubine Hui nodded and said, "Don't worry, my queen. I have remembered this. I have reported it to the emperor in advance. The emperor has already asked people to watch." After all, she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the royal family. Even if she is filling a house, she cannot be from a small family.
There are also several motherless granddaughters and grandsons here. This stepmother must also be upright and gentle. The Queen Mother nodded and said: "That's good. The eldest brother has lived a miserable life in the past two years. How can we do without a decent Fujin in the house?" The old people all pity the weak. As for the eldest brother, why has he been so important in the past two years? He followed him one after another. Hu, the only prince among brothers is nothing in the eyes of her old man. A widower who is not the head of the family is pitiful.
Others couldn't say anything, but they were just guessing in their minds about the eldest brother's successor to Fujin. Seeing what Concubine Hui wanted, it was not surprising that the emperor already had a candidate.
So far, one crown prince and eight princes, Fujin, have been chosen by the emperor for marriage. As for the biological mothers and concubines or the adoptive mothers and concubines, they just summoned the beautiful girls twice under the emperor's orders.
Everyone thought about Xiu Nu and looked at Min Bin. Minbi showed signs of falling out of favor last year, but she is getting better this year. She looks good and looks like she is in her early twenties. It turns out that she will become a mother-in-law next year.
Minbin sat upright, but she was actually feeling uneasy right now, wondering what the character of her future daughter-in-law would be. But looking at the family background and character of the current princes Fujin, the Thirteenth Brother should not be wrong here.
As for Prince Fujin like Ba Fujin, he should be the only one. The Queen Mother looked at Shu Shu again and said: "The fish I asked the girl to send yesterday was good. I made fish balls, shabu-shabu, shrimps, fried shrimp cakes..." Because she was born in Mongolia, she didn't like to eat fish earlier. .
I started eating it in the past two years, and with Shu Shu's persuasion, I reduced my consumption of pork and mutton and replaced it with beef, fish and shrimp.
The effect is very obvious. Originally, the Queen Mother had some symptoms of yang hyperactivity and was obsessed with lakes. She also had excessive phlegm and dampness, which made her prone to constipation.
After changing the diet, the symptoms were relieved a lot and my body became more relaxed. In addition, the recipes provided by Shu Shu were rich, and the fish and shrimp did not seem boring when eaten. The Queen Mother gradually got used to the new diet structure.
The Queen Mother herself understood better how her body was. She originally liked Shu Shu, but then she valued it even more.
But the more this happened, the less wanton she was before, and she still put the Crown Princess and Wu Fujin first in front of others.
Shu Shu knew it well and did not compete. The grandfather and grandson had a tacit understanding. Shu Shu said: "The emperor's grandmother likes it because of the filial piety of Master Jiu and his granddaughter-in-law. I will turn around and ask Master Jiu to pick up the delicious food next to him." The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, then I'll wait." Wait until The Queen Mother left, leaving Concubine Hui to talk to Concubine Yi, while the others came out first.
Shu Shu was no exception. She did not receive grace and was left alone to speak. The sisters-in-law came to Shenwumen together.
San Fujin pulled Shu Shu and said: "But we agreed that I haven't recruited you in the past six months. If we divide the good things, we must not leave our Sanbeile Mansion behind!" This is what the Queen Mother said that Shu Shu and the others brought back to eat. Yes, I'm thinking about it.
The thing is small, but the face is big. It’s better to tell the story of the sisters’ disagreement, so as not to end up in the eyes of others and make people laugh.
Shu Shu said generously: "It's all divided. I won't leave behind the third brother and the third sister-in-law." San Fujin was satisfied then, and remembered the gossip a while ago, and said: "Someone impeached the ninth elder brother. The ninth elder brother wrote Do you have any excuses? Why did you hear that another head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be added?" Shu Shu thought of Hangzhou Weaving, which should be to prepare the ground for the Jin family to come to Beijing.
She said: "It should have been added a long time ago. Mr. Ma and Mr. Ha are just in name now. They are all incompetent. They are not people who work. They are probably selected from among the doctors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." San Fujin He blinked and asked with curiosity: "Are you choosing among the doctors? Is that Mr. Zhang?" Is this the emperor who wants to give the fifth elder brother a face and lift his father-in-law up?
After all, among the current prince's father-in-law, Zhang Baozhuo has the lowest rank and is the fifth-rank doctor of the Internal Affairs Office.
But if he were to be promoted to Director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, it would be quick enough. You must know that thirty-seven years ago, Zhang Baozhuo was the seventh-grade pen post style, and it was only thirty-seven years ago that he was promoted to the fifth-grade doctor.
When it comes to people they know, everyone looks at Shu Shu. Shu Shu was afraid of misunderstanding, so he turned around to disappoint his family, and said: "It should be to find someone from among the bureau chiefs. He used to be the general manager of the House of Internal Affairs. Most of them were from the bureau, and he was more familiar with the yamen and personnel matters of the House of Internal Affairs. Be familiar with it." San Fujin nodded and said, "That's right, except for the name of the general manager at the front, the main person in charge is the general manager of the coat..." As the group spoke, they left the Shenwu Gate, and the carriages of each family were already waiting.
Next to Shu Shu's carriage, there was also Sun Jin. Shu Shu said: "Did I send you here?" Sun Jin replied: "Fu Jin, I told you to go home in the afternoon and eat at the Yamen at noon. Ask the kitchen to send more food. The Fourth Master and the Tenth Master will also go there. "Shu Shu took note after listening.
Shi Fujin said from the sidelines, "Sister-in-law, I'll have lunch with you." Shu Shu smiled and said, "Okay!" San Fujin listened from the sidelines and said, "We bumped into each other in the morning, and we made a special appointment for dinner?" Shu Shu smiled. Shu smiled and said: "I guess our master wanted to leave home at noon, but the fourth master stopped him." Qi Fujin said from the side: "The ninth elder brother is notoriously lazy, which means the fourth master can cure him. ." Young Master Shu Shu protected him and said, "Our master is either lazy or quick at work. He stopped working early." Qi Fujin pointed at her and said, "Okay, okay, in your eyes, Brother Jiu is not bad at all. Others are working so hard that they are not quick at work!" Shu Shu also did not hide her partiality for Brother Ninth.
It's always been like this. Si Fujin and Wu Fujin were smiling and listening, not saying much. It was cold outside, so everyone got into the carriage after chatting and went their separate ways.
Here, Si Fujin was pulled into Shu Shu's carriage by Ten Fortune Jin.
"In a few days, I'm going to serve wine. It's not a Yanchi banquet, but a Bazhen banquet..." Shifujin said happily.
Si Fujin asked: "Is there any happy event?" She thought for a moment, and it was not the birthday of Brother Ten, nor the birthday of Shi Fujin, she couldn't think of anything else.
Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "No, it's just a small banquet. I thought of it when we were having a bird's nest banquet in autumn. We took turns serving wine. I was idle at home, so I would come first..." Si Fujin smiled.
It is really a blessing and leisure.
"Then you choose the day, send the post in advance, and let's take a day off..." Sifujin said gently.
Shi Fujin nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I must be fully prepared." The three of them chatted and arrived at the Beiguan room after a while.
The carriage first stopped at Sibeile Mansion. After watching Si Fujin get off the car and enter the mansion, Shu Shu and Shi Fujin left.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the carriage stopped again. Shu Shu then ordered: "Go on, go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion." The coachman responded and started the carriage again.
Although he had been prepared for it, Shi Fujin was still reluctant to leave and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, are you going to pick up Fengsheng and Akdan?" Shu Shu shook his head and said: "If you don't pick up now, I will bother my brothers and sisters for a few days... "
"Huh?" Shi Fujin was happy at first, but then he became entangled and said, "Why don't you just accept it? Brother Ninth and Sister-in-law Ninth definitely miss them too." Although she was reluctant to part with her two darlings, she couldn't be too selfish.
Don’t the Han people have a saying, called
"It's easy to borrow and return, and it's not difficult to borrow again"? If a meat bun beats a dog and there is no return, then who would be happy?
Shi Fujin has some plans of his own. Shu Shu said: "They don't remember anyone. They just changed places to avoid crying. Let's wait and see for a few days." Shi Fujin was really happy and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, if you cry, it won't be easy to coax. It's also worrying, mainly because I'm afraid that the child will catch a fever." After Shu Shu heard this, he knew that Fengsheng and Akdan were probably teething, and they had cried a lot, which made Shi Fujin feel at ease. Ji looks like...
