After saying this, the two sisters were speechless.
Fortunately, at this moment, Wufujin and Qifuxin arrived.
Qi Fujin couldn't help but touch Shu Shu's waist, and said with a sour tone: "Others are wearing the same clothes, but they are round, so why do you wear them so smoothly?"
Shu Shu glanced at Qi Fujin's flag shoes, and then at his own.
There was no way around it. Qi Fujin usually wore high-heeled shoes, while Shu Shu basically wore flat shoes. Her stature looked different, but it wasn't so obvious.
On a day like today, it's not like this, so I put on flag shoes that are two and a half inches high.
In contrast, Qi Fujin's height appears stocky.
She also loves to eat. She moves less in winter, and looks like she is blowing up a balloon, making her look a bit lively.
The contrast between the two sisters-in-law is obvious.
Qi Fujin also saw Shu Shu's shoes and couldn't help but smile, saying: "If you stand with Brother Jiu, you are definitely taller than Brother Nine."
Shu Shu smiled.
That's natural.
Not only because of the soles of the shoes, but also because of the auspicious crown, wearing it makes the person two inches taller.
The sister-in-law said a few words and then left.
The Seventh Fortune Jin went to the Sixth Palace in the East, and Shu Shu went to the Sixth Palace in the West with the Fifth Fortune Jin and the Eighth Fortune Jin.
Wu Fujin and Ba Fujin had nothing to say.
The year before last, the Eight Fortune Jins were disrespectful in Ningshou Palace, and the scorn was directed at the Five Fortune Jins.
Although Fujin later apologized, the traces are still there.
Wufujin is not a saint either.
Bafujin lowered his eyes and remembered what happened the year before last.
So crazy, no scruples at all.
You must know that when she married into the palace, she was very respectable among the sisters-in-law, and her life went smoothly in the beginning.
Later, my reputation was ruined, my temper was bad, and my dignity in front of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother was lost...
She was silent all the way.
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin looked at each other, and the two sisters-in-law didn't like to gossip.
When they arrived at the gate of Yikun Gate, the eight blessed Jin gradually disappeared, and both the sisters-in-law let out a sigh of relief.
Wu Fujin said to Shu Shu, "I'm not afraid of her, but there's no need to provoke her."
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law, I know." Shu Shu said.
Ba Fujin is in a bad situation right now. People who are barefoot are not afraid of people who wear shoes. They have to guard against her going crazy again.
Also, it is a sister-in-law relationship after all. The elders can teach and reprimand Bafujin, but they cannot say anything, otherwise they will be suspected of adding insult to injury and appear mean.
Peilan was already waiting at the entrance of the main hall. When he saw the two people arriving, he greeted them.
Shu Shu followed Wufujin into the main hall.
Concubine Yi was sitting in the second hall, already dressed.
Chen Guiren, the seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother are also there.
The seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother were wearing red robes and looked like two big red envelopes.
The two brothers knelt in front of the kang table and looked at the gem bonsai with a glass cover on the kang table.
It is a hibiscus bonsai. The flowers are made of pink tourmaline, the stamens are made of gold wire, and the flowers and leaves are made of green jasper. It looks lifelike.
Children love novelty and can’t wait to watch.
Chen Guiren stood nearby to prevent the two elder brothers from getting started.
This is a gift from the emperor and cannot be damaged.
Concubine Yi looked on and said, "Don't worry, our little seventeen is behaving well, and our eighteenth brother has also taught us to be obedient."
Brother Seventeen was embarrassed by the praise and smiled with his lips pursed.
The eighteenth elder brother was already at the age of imitation. He looked at the seventeenth elder brother and said, "Be obedient."
The seventeenth elder brother touched the stubble of his younger brother's hair and said, "Well, we are all obedient."
Seeing Shu Shu and Wu Fujin come in, Chen Guiren carried the two elder brothers to the ground.
Brother Seventeen has already remembered the person and called him obediently.
The 18th prince followed, also acting in the same style.
After everyone saw each other, the two elder brothers were carried off by the nanny.
Peilan carefully put away the gem bonsai and placed it on the Duobao Pavilion where the brothers could not easily reach it.
When Shu Shu saw it, she remembered the gem bonsai with the December seasonal flower that Brother Jiu had mentioned.
This should be one of the pots.
Concubine Yi got the hibiscus flower. This is also a secret compliment for a woman, right?
Concubine Zanyi has a hibiscus noodle?
Chrysanthemums should be for filial piety to the Queen Mother, and pomegranate flowers are for concubines. I don’t know how to appreciate other flowers.
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin went to change their clothes, and then followed Yi Fei out.
There is only one chariot outside today.
At the beginning of winter, Chen Guiren was infected with wind and cold. He was very ill and stopped at Ningshou Palace to pay his respects.
Now that he has recovered, it is hard not to leave.
Concubine Yi did not prepare chariots for Wufujin and Shushu.
Shu Shu looked at Concubine Yifei on her shoulder. Perhaps this was the reason why Concubine Yifei had been favored for more than forty years.
Always stay within the rules and do what is convenient for others and what is convenient for yourself.
When facing young nobles, they also take care of each other's dignity and don't antagonize them.
There was only one mistake in her life, that is, after the death of Kangxi, she was too sad and unable to walk, so she was carried on the shoulder chariot to the funeral, and knelt in front of Concubine De.
You don't need to think about it to know that that was the normal ranking among the four concubines in the early years.
But because the heir emperor was the fourth elder brother, Concubine De became the Queen Mother without being canonized. Concubine Yi's move was regarded as "disrespectful", so she was not honored.
In the final analysis, it was still the fault of his son, and it was all the fault of the ninth elder brother.
The group arrived at Ningshou Palace.
There is a New Year's Eve dinner in Ningshou Palace tonight, and there is also a New Year's Eve dinner in Qianqing Palace.
It just has nothing to do with Prince Fujin.
Everyone still followed the crowd and arranged their shifts to say hello.
The Queen Mother, who was celebrating the New Year, also had a smile on her face. She looked at Concubine Hui and said, "The beautiful lady will enter the palace on the 16th day of the first lunar month. I asked Qin Tianjian to choose a date in March or April. Don't delay it any longer."
A few years ago, most of the candidates for the Eight Banners Show Girls had arrived in the capital.
For this reason, the business of Shu Shu's powder shop and jewelry shop has doubled.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the triennial preliminary round of the Eight Banners draft will begin.
The results will be announced on the day of the primary election. Those who did not advance to the second round will still be admitted to the second round.
Those who enter the second round will be personally selected by Kangxi or the Queen Mother in early February. Those who leave the mark will be the third round and stay in the palace.
After half a month to one month of living together, it will be the final wedding ceremony.
Concubine Hui was also in a good mood and said with a smile: "Listen to your Majesty, I will ask someone to choose a date in a few days."
The Queen Mother nodded, looked at Min Bin and said, "Tell Thirteenth Brother not to worry. He is the younger brother and must be ranked behind the two older brothers."
Min Bin stood up and said, "Brother has a small birthday and is still a child. I couldn't have imagined this."
The Queen Mother said: "In February, when choosing people, we must also choose those who behave according to their duties."
This is based on the lessons learned from the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother. When giving advice to the prince's elder brother before marriage, people are cautious.
Although there are differences in hierarchy, everyone came here when they were teenagers, so naturally they know that the companionship and love they had when they were teenagers cannot be explained clearly.
Min Bin hurriedly said: "I will choose someone who is quiet and honest."
The Queen Mother looked at Concubine De again, more leniently than usual, and said: "You are a lucky person, Yonghe Palace is also suitable for heirs, take good care of the Wang family."
Concubine De said: "Don't worry, Madam, everything has been arranged. We have also arranged for the imperial doctor to call for Ping'an Pulse the next day."
The Queen Mother said: "With you watching, I won't have any worries anymore."
After talking to Concubine De, the Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yi and said: "I heard from the emperor that the date for the seventeenth brother's vaccination has been decided. Ask the nanny to pay more attention to these days. Eat well and sleep well. Keep yourself energetic and don't catch cold. cold."
Concubine Yi didn't know about the new vaccine yet, so she had already prepared for the seventeenth brother to be vaccinated, and said: "Well, take good care of it, and be energetic when the time comes to vaccinate him."
When she arrived at her grandson's daughter-in-law's place, what the Queen Mother wanted to ask was whether she wanted to go to her elder brother's place.
There is no need to ask the Crown Princess here. When the Holy Spirit moves, the Crown Prince will follow her to the West Garden.
She looked at Sanfujin and said, "Are you ready? When will you go to Haidian?"
San Fujin smiled and replied: "Our master said that if the elders go on the third day of the Lunar New Year, we will go there in the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year."
The second day of the first lunar month is the day to go back home. It's just that the head of the family has changed brothers, so it's just a stop when you go back.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Then ask people to burn the house in advance to avoid the return of tide."
Sanfu Jin said: "I sent someone over to ask. They said that Brother Jiu had ordered the manager of Changchun Garden to burn all the earth and dragons in the courtyard where the two brothers lived, so that everyone could go there."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Brother Ninth is careful."
After asking San Fujin, she didn't ask other Fujin when they would move.
He glanced at Ba Fujin. He was a few steps away and saw clearly that there were no conspicuous scars on his face.
Seeing that she was quiet and peaceful, the Queen Mother tolerated her and said, "Do you want to recuperate for a few more days? There is nothing going on around you. If you want to continue recuperating, after celebrating the New Year tomorrow, you can recuperate for a few more months..."
Bafujin expressed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Grandma Huang, for your consideration. No need. I'll just keep raising the rest slowly."
Seeing her like this, the Queen Mother didn't say much.
Please leave now.
Then each family prepared their own reunion banquet.
But when Shi Fujin came out, the girl beside him was holding two brocade boxes.
Seeing this, San Fujin glanced at her several times, then looked at the princess again.
The Crown Princess and Shi Fujin arrived at Ningshou Palace first.
Could it be a reward given by the Queen Mother to the two of them alone?
The Crown Princess took the palace servant with her but did not leave. She was sending the sisters out. There was no brocade box in the palace servant's arms.
After leaving Ningshou Palace, San Fujin scratched his head and looked at Shi Fujin who was hesitant to speak.
Shi Fujin noticed it and looked back at San Fujin.
San Fujin smiled and said, "Look at the brocade box in the arms of my younger siblings. Is this a reward from the Dowager Empress?"
She thought about Princess Duanshun.
The old-style concubine with no children and a bunch of private houses will all belong to the great-niece Shi Fujin from now on.
Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "It was not the concubine who rewarded it, it was the imperial grandmother who rewarded it..."
San Fujin's smile froze and he looked at Wu Fujin and Shu Shu's faces.
Why are you rewarded with only one out of ten blessings?
If we were to reward one person alone, shouldn’t we give it to the Five Fortunes and Jins?
Since you have rewarded ten blessings, why not reward everyone?
She looked at the Four, Seventh, and Eighth Fortunes, and she showed no dissatisfaction.
She was confused as she grabbed the handkerchief.
Is she the only one who is stingy?
Shu Shu saw the thoughtful look on San Fujin's face and couldn't bear to see it.
However, if you don't worry about the shortage but the inequality, it's not good to make Shi Fujin jealous like this.
She opened it and said, "Is it the medicinal material rewarded by the Imperial Grandmother?"
At this time, I will reward Shifujin alone with nothing but medicinal materials.
Shi Fujin nodded and said, "Well, a box of salvia and a box of gastrodia elata are for my brother to prepare medicine."
Both of these are traditional Chinese medicinal materials used to treat stroke.
Taiji was paralyzed and aphasic after being poisoned by charcoal, which is similar to a stroke...
