Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and felt helpless.
You always only look at the surface, no wonder you are easily deceived.
However, it was not easy for Shu Shu to let him have resentment in his heart. Not only would it affect the relationship between the brothers, he would also easily get angry at himself.
She looked at Brother Ninth and said: "The same prince Fujin, the Queen Mother took the fifth sister-in-law over, no one will be angry, everyone thinks it is natural; if it is me, what will the sisters-in-law think?"
Brother Jiu said confidently: "Don't think about it! I took you over, that's what you deserve. How can they be as filial as you?"
"Then what does the emperor think? What does our empress think?" Shu Shu said.
Brother Ninth is stuck.
The emperor's father must be uncomfortable. They are all princes, and they are separated by the queen mother. One special case is enough. If there is one more, wouldn't it make the precious prince feel wronged?
As for my empress, who always behaves respectfully and carefully, she should be uneasy.
Shu Shu continued: "If you accept me, will the other sisters-in-law accept you? If you meet the emperor's grandson, will you see the emperor's grandson? If you meet the legitimate daughter, will you see the concubine? By that time, the North Garden will become a vegetable market. Did the Queen Mother come here to enjoy her leisure time, or did she come here to be tired?"
Brother Ninth had always listened to advice and knew this truth, but he still felt uncomfortable and did not smile.
Shu Shu happened to be looking at the account book. This book was the rewards from Ningshou Palace in the past few years, and they were all registered.
There were rewards for her and three children.
Not to mention all kinds of tribute, there are also clothing materials, small ornaments and other daily necessities, as well as jewelry, antiques and curios.
"Here, take a closer look at this..." Shu Shu handed him the account book.
Brother Jiu took it and looked at it. When he realized what it was, his face relaxed a lot and said: "So many in total? I usually don't pay attention..."
Shu Shu added: "Now I have two good horses, and I plan to give them away. Should I give them to my tenth brother or my eighth brother?"
"Huh?" Brother Jiu said in surprise: "Then you still need to ask? Of course it's Old Ten. If I change that person, I owe him what I owe him? Why should I give it and not give it to him?"
Shu Shu said: "Then what if someone advises me to be fair? We are all brothers, one horse per person?"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "What belongs to me can be done as I please. How can there be so many things that are fair and unfair?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Yes, I can do whatever I want with my things. Whether I have a good relationship with someone or not depends on whether I am generous or not to whom I am generous."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's natural. If you treat me well, I will be happy if you give me money; if you treat me badly, I will still want to steal his money!"
Just like Guo Luoluo's family.
There is no direct ownership of the family property, but it is pretty much the same.
Only a few red deeds' properties were retained for Daobao, and the remaining white deeds were given to Concubine Yifei by Kangxi.
Concubine Yi directly divided it into four portions, and each of the three elder brothers and Princess Kejing had one portion.
Brother Jiu took it calmly. Without their mother and son, the Guo Luoluo family, a middle-class family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, would not have been able to accumulate wealth for more than 20 years and accumulate this family business.
Shu Shu said: "That's the truth. Relationships between people don't just look at appearance, but also money. Where the love is, the money is there; if you talk nicely, you won't pay a cent of the money. , then don’t think about it, he’s also a Hu Nongren.”
Brother Ninth is honest.
He was just like that, he wanted to buy all the good things in the world to Shu Shu, and he also wanted to leave some money to Fengsheng so that he could have enough food and clothing for a lifetime.
His anger dissipated immediately.
The same principle applies to filial piety. To see whether a son is filial or not, words don't count. It still depends on real money.
He looked at the account book, looking very satisfied, and said: "Except for the fifth brother, we definitely get the most good things. Let's take second place. We have been close to the Queen Mother for a few years, and there are two other good things from the fifth brother." It’s been a relationship of more than ten years!”
Shu Shu said: "As long as I am good to me and I am good to you, that will be fine. Everything else is just the icing on the cake."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu.
Yes, this is a big branch of the tree, and the relatives around us are also divided into two categories, family members and relatives.
But where the love is, there is the money...
Brother Jiu narrowed his eyes, it seemed that it was really serious.
Before and after my wedding, the fifth brother's money, the shop given by the tenth brother, and the eighth brother's flirtatious words were all very contrasting, but at that time, I felt as if I had drunk Mihu soup...

In the North Garden, the little brother fell asleep and woke up.
The Queen Mother looked at the white and tender little baby and smiled from ear to ear all afternoon.
Although he is not as chubby and cute as the fifth elder brother when he was a child, he is still a child with delicate features, does not cry or make trouble, and looks well-behaved.
The newborn gift and the 100-day gift were given, but the Queen Mother still asked Aunt Bai to prepare eight treasure collars, little tiger hats and other items, as well as several boxes of toys that belonged to the fifth elder brother when he was a child, and were collected by the Queen Mother. Yes, it's been packed up a long time ago.
Therefore, when Wu Fujin took his little brother out of the North Garden, there were a dozen or so people following him.
In addition to carrying boxes, there were also people holding cloths. They were fine silks and Songjiang cloths, suitable for making clothes for children.
Although Wufujin had received rewards from the Queen Mother, this was the first time for him to receive so many rewards. He had learned the meaning of "mother is more valuable than son".
Wu Fujin was a little uneasy and asked the fifth brother: "Sir, are there too many things?"
The fifth elder brother shook his head and said: "Not much, how much is this? The Imperial Grandmother has a lot of good things. Half of the Empress Dowager's private rooms were given to the Imperial Grandmother, and the Ningshou Palace warehouse was filled with about twenty rooms. .”
In addition to the Queen Mother's own dowry, there are also savings from more than 40 years in the palace, but the bulk of it is still the Queen Mother's private house.
Before the death of the Empress Dowager, she divided her private room and gave a few items to Prince Yu, Prince Gong, and Prince Chun Fujin for commemoration. A small portion was given to Princess Shuhui, and the larger portion was divided into two. One half was given to Kangxi, and the other half was given to Kangxi. To the Queen Mother.
Wu Fujin thought about Shu Shu's concerns and said nothing more.
I couldn't explain this to my fifth brother, but it made things more complicated.
*
In the North Garden, the Queen Mother tilted her head, sighed, and said to Aunt Bai: "I wonder how Akdan is doing? He will be pregnant in more than a month."
Today's little great-grandson also resembles his father, but because the Queen Mother saw Akdan first, she felt that Akdan was more like the fifth elder brother when he was a child.
Aunt Bai said: "How about I come over tomorrow to take a look? Didn't the empress say that she would prepare some milk cakes and send them to Jiu Fujin?"
The Queen Mother was moved, and then shook her head and said: "Forget it, let's live some time, it's not a business, if you receive filial piety today, you will be rewarded immediately tomorrow."
Aunt Bai couldn't help but said: "It will be fine when the princess has a child..."
The Queen Mother thought of the Crown Princess, her position was noble, but she was also troublesome.
"Find out the two bottles of loquat ointment that are stored away, and you can come over and take a look at them tomorrow for me," the Queen Mother said.
Regarding the illness of the Crown Princess, there have been some rumors in the past two days. Most of them are said to be caused by fatigue. In preparation for the Chinese New Year, she also encountered three cases of "whooping cough". Her younger brother had chickenpox, and they were all together...
*
Concubine Yi is also looking forward to seeing her grandson. She has made an appointment for tomorrow, so she can't wait to watch the clock all the time, hoping that time will pass quickly.
As a result, I felt that time passed too slowly.
In the afternoon, the holy driver came again.
Concubine Yi sighed in her heart, but her face was filled with joy, and she went out to welcome the holy driver in.
She could see that the emperor was not here for her, but to see Brother Seventeen.
She asked someone to bring the 17th and 18th elder brothers over, and then on the pretext that the 18th elder brother wanted to nurse, she ordered the nanny to carry them down, leaving the 17th elder brother here.
This is the third time Shengjia has returned to Chunshu after moving to the garden.
The seventeenth elder brother was cautious at first, but now he is much more comfortable, but judging from his expression, he still relies more on Concubine Yi.
Kangxi called him forward and said, "You are already five years old. You are a big boy. You should stand down."
Brother Seventeen was a little confused after hearing this.
He knew that when the prince grew older, the palaces would be divided. Wouldn't that be next year?
He looked at Yi Fei as if asking for help, and leaned against Yi Fei.
Yi Fei touched Brother Seventeen's little head and her heart trembled.
Yes, after the seventeenth prince is vaccinated, he will move to the palace of Princess Shuhui.
Mother and son don't have much time together.
The concubine is old and lacks energy. The seventeenth brother needs to stand up on his own.
She said lovingly: "Our Xiao Qi is now an elder brother and an uncle. In the future, we have to establish a family, so we can't just stay like children."
It is now the seventh day of the first lunar month, and only a few days away from the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
However, I didn't dare to tell him about the move in the past few days, for fear of feeling uncomfortable and getting sick, which would affect the vaccination.
The seventeenth elder brother acted like a big brother to the eighteenth elder brother, but at this time, he whispered: "In front of the concubine, the seventeenth brother still wants to be a baby!"
Concubine Yi stroked Brother Seventeen's back, with red eyes, and said, "Okay, okay, Seventeen is my mother's baby."
Kangxi couldn't bear to see the situation of mother and son.
But when I think of the fifth, ninth and eighteenth elders, I can't bear to put them aside.
There are too many brothers in Yi Kun Palace.
This is not a good thing for Concubine Yi and her son.
It was a good time to separate when Brother Seventeen was young.
Even if the Queen Mother did not mention this matter, he would move Chen Guiren's mother and son to the palace.
But seeing Concubine Yi shed tears, he felt uncomfortable and a little soft-hearted.
He just sat there and went to other places.
Nowadays, both concubine and Wang Guiren are happy. Before they went to the garden, concubine Min appeared.
Just in time to catch up with the thirteenth elder brother Cheng Ding and get married, Kangxi went there.
Concubine Yi talked with Brother Seventeen for a long time. Seeing that he was tired, she coaxed him to sleep.
Children know best between good and bad.
Even though she repeatedly emphasized that people in Yikun Palace would not neglect the Seventeenth Brother, the addition of the Eighteenth Brother still affected the Seventeenth Brother.
Seeing that the Seventeenth Brother was by her side and there were only ten days left, Yi Fei made a decision.
She called Peilan and ordered in a low voice: "Go and tell Wu Fujin and Jiu Fujin, just like I said, don't come in tomorrow. The children are young, there are many people in the garden, and it's this time. One is cold and the other is hot, don’t make you sick, see you again when summer comes!”
Peilan looked at Brother Seventeen who was sleeping soundly on the kang, responded, and tiptoed out...
