After Wufujin got on the carriage, Shu Shu and Jue Luo got on the carriage to talk.
Shu Shu felt a little uneasy, thinking of Mrs. Bo and Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu was having fun the day before yesterday. Was she homesick yesterday?
Jueluoshi said: "It's okay, I just see you are not energetic. Let's see how you are."
Shu Shu yawned and said, "I was late to watch the fireworks last night. I put powder on my face. Is it still so obvious?"
Jue Luo couldn't help but patted her and said, "It's so late at night and it's all smoke and dust. I'm afraid she won't get sick, right?"
Otherwise, seeing Shu Shu's face full of pink, could she worry for a long time and wait outside for her to come out?
People who don't usually like to put on makeup and makeup are acting abnormally today. Who can rest assured?
Shu Shu supported Luo Shi's arm and said, "I'll catch up on my sleep this afternoon. I'll be fine tomorrow morning. Don't worry, Enie."
Jueluo said: "Although it was the beginning of spring a few days ago, it was cold in late spring and not much warmer than 3949. You still have to pay attention. When you are a Nie people, it is not as good as before. You are really going to get sick, and it will affect the children." , you have something to worry about."
Shu Shu said honestly: "Take care of yourself. Enie knows me. I can read "Compendium of Materia Medica" even if I am reading leisure books on weekdays."
When Jueluo heard this, he became even more worried.
It's medicine that is divided into three parts by poison. Don't be afraid of those who don't understand, just be afraid of those who have only half-understanding.
She said: "You should stay in peace on weekdays. If you want to try anything, you should ask the imperial doctor."
Shu Shu listened and didn't mind the chatter.
Before I got married, when I was in Dutong Mansion, I tried to reproduce the recipes in these books. Some were successful, while others looked weird.
She said: "I'm getting lazy and don't like doing those things, don't worry Enie."
Don't worry about it. Jue Luo felt that it was useless to ask Shu Shu, so he turned around and asked Brother Jiu to go. Bi Shu Shu heard about it.
The carriage left the imperial city.
Bai Guo, who followed, asked through the curtain: "Fu Jin, we're at the intersection..."
The Prince's Mansion goes to the north and the Dutong Mansion goes to the west. They are not in the same direction.
Shu Shu said: "Go first..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was stopped by Jue Luo's voice, saying: "Go directly back to the Prince's Mansion."
Ging Guo's voice became softer: "Fu Jin..."
Jueluo Shi whispered to Shu Shu: "You don't have a serious master in your house, how can you entertain others who come to pay New Year's greetings? Don't delay."
Brother Ninth also had to go with the princes to pay New Year's greetings to the royal family, and he had to go around for a while before he could come back.
Shu Shu didn't say much more and told Bai Guo: "Listen to me."
Bai Guo responded and sent a message to the coachman.
Shu Shu looked at Jueluo Shi, thought of business, and said, "Happy New Year Eni!"
Jueluo Shi hummed and said, "If you don't come with Master Jiu to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow, why are you so weird?"
Shu Shu hugged Jueluoshi's arm and said, "Isn't this the red envelope I saw today? I am thinking about Enie's red envelope."
Jueluoshi rolled his eyes at her, took out a purse from his sleeve and said, "Here you go, get ready!"
Shu Shu smiled happily and said: "I should kowtow to Enie..."
As she said that, she took it and felt light and airy.
She was unhappy, stuffed her purse back, and said, "What are you doing, Enie? I paid you a few pieces of silver as a New Year's gift, and then you returned it in a hurry!"
Jue Luo didn't take the answer and said: "It's enough for the whole year. No money is needed. The other princes' families have to pay tribute to the prince's family in turn. I know you are not short of money. I haven't asked anyone to prepare it since last year. But There is no reason to accept your money."
Shu Shu couldn't help but frown after hearing this.
There is nothing that mother and daughter cannot say.
She whispered: "I married high and took away all Eni's dowry property, and the public also took a lot of it, but there are still Zhuliang and the other six behind me. According to the rules of this new year's ceremony, in the future, We are all providing supplements like this, and we will provide additional supplements later to Zhuliang and the others, so as to avoid having to worry about the previous marriages and the family's money is tight..."
The people currently engaged are Zhuliang and Xiaosan. The two brothers are two years apart, but Qingru and Princess Beizi are from the same age group.
Two or three years later, the two brothers got married.
It won’t be too long before the twins, Xiaosi and Xiaosan, get married.
Jueluo Shi shook his head and said: "You don't need to worry about this. You, Amo, handed over the public property of the uncle's house to me the year before last. The land outside, Zhuangzi, and the rent of several yards and shops in the city will be paid in one year." It's almost more than six thousand taels, leaving 20% for your Amu's support, and the remaining five thousand taels, plus our family's property and income, there are also three thousand taels, and your Ama' "Three festivals and two lifespans" also have more than a thousand taels of silver, but the expenses are calculated. A lot of silver can be saved in one year, and it will be relieved in three or five years."
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt relieved and nodded: "That's good. Otherwise, I would be rich here and my family would be tight. What would happen to me?"
It's not that she wants to be a "Fu Di Demon", but she knows it well. Because she became the prince Fujin by marriage, the dowry exceeded the standard, which reduced the brothers' property.
She was afraid that Amma and Enie would be worried about their sons' future livelihood, so she thought about slowly supplementing the income.
Start with the smallest number first, and then find excuses to honor them more than twice a year.
Since there is no shortage of money, there is no need to worry about money. When Zhuliang and the others get married in a few years, just follow Fusong's example and give them a shop or a house to collect rent.
While he was talking, the carriage had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Not only was Shu Shu busy, but Jue Luo was also busy. He changed the carriage and went directly back to Dutong Mansion.
Shu Shu returned to the upper room and changed out of her auspicious clothes.
Bai Guo brought Shuang Yue and Dong Yue to serve. Zhou Song came in and asked, "Fu Jin, the stewards are asking when they can come to the main courtyard to kowtow?"
Shu Shu had already sat down to have tea and said, "Don't worry, I'll come back when I get home."
The people in the mansion should have given them New Year greetings first, but Brother Ninth went out too early this morning, so the people in the mansion were the last to send them New Year greetings.
I guess by the time we reach Sizheng, Brother Jiu is back.
After running around for a long time, his throat felt dry, so he drank tea as soon as he came in.
When the stewards outside heard the noise and knew that Brother Jiu was back, they all came to the main courtyard.
Shu Shu asked Bai Guo and the others to go to the back room to send a message and ask the nanny to bring Fengsheng and Akdan over.
Everyone in the mansion wants to pay New Year's greetings, and the young masters also want to see them.
Manager Cui, together with Aunt Xing and Aunt Qi, brought the people of the mansion to pay New Year greetings to their masters.
Even though Shu Shu and Jiu Age both believed in not raising idle people, such a big mansion still had to have about two hundred people inside and outside.
In addition to those on vacation, about a hundred people on duty are now here.
The wallet has been prepared in advance, one is the annual reward based on status, and the other is the annual reward based on the performance in the past year, which adds up to an average of almost four months.
At this moment, Shu Shu had someone carry Fengsheng and Akdan into the house.
They are young and still rarely receive gifts.
Everyone kowtowed, paid New Year greetings to the two masters, and received the annual rewards.
After everyone had dispersed, Brother Jiu and Shu Shu returned to the house. They were still a little worried about the money and said, "Hey, there are several rewards a year. I really can't save this money."
Shu Shu said: "I have thought of it. This has already saved a lot more than the previous reward."
When I was in the palace before, the population of the Reward Brother Courtyard was not so divided. It was basically divided into stewards and ordinary errands. Calculated on a per capita basis, it cost a lot of money.
Brother Ninth remembered one thing and said happily: "By the way, there is actually a small fortune. It was the elder brother who said that ours is the prince's mansion under the control of Baylor Mansion. It originally had a hundred guardsmen. I gave it to you." The population of the banner is retained, and only the population of the coat is made up by fifty. The remaining fifty vests of silver can still be collected. We didn't know before, but when converted, it is one year and three months. When the Yamen opens the seal , you can ask Cao Shun to go to the Ministry of War to collect two thousand two hundred and fifty taels of silver..."
Shu Shu was also happy after hearing this, it was really an unexpected fortune.
"What about the salary of the guards? We don't have enough of them either?"
Shu Shu asked.
They can have ten guards, six second-class guards, and four third-class guards.
Now there are only six people: Erhe, Fuqing, Chunlin, Caoshun, Guidan and Guiyuan.
Heishan wears a fourth-grade hat, walks with the flag, and becomes the leader of the red flag.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Guards are no good. They are high-ranking officials, and they are directly paid by the Ministry of War. They cannot be paid empty-handed."
Shu Shu felt very sorry after hearing this. It was only four to five hundred taels of silver.
After a while, some of the staff who lived in the back came into the house to pay New Year's greetings, and then several coats of clothing came to assist and manage the collar.
On the front and back, Gao Yanzhong and his son also arrived.
After this wave of people left, the little elder brothers and little princesses from each house came one after another.
Who is called the ninth elder brother? These little elder brothers and little princesses who can come out to pay New Year greetings must come in order.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu prepared their purses early. One contained a jade safety buckle, and the other contained two pairs of gold locks.
They are all nephews and nieces, and Brother Jiu doesn't feel sorry for Yin Zi either.
The noisy New Year greetings are coming to an end at the end of the year.
Brother Jiu looked at the loose purse and said, "I'll vaccinate Fengsheng and his friends the year after next. It'll be better if I get the red envelopes a year earlier..."
