Chapter 918: Talk to people when you meet them (monthly vote)(1/2)
After lunch, it was time for the couple to take a nap.
Brother Jiu remembered something and said: "Khan Sheitu of Khalkha Tu has passed away, and Sister Kejing's brother-in-law has succeeded her as the new Khan. She submitted a petition and asked to return to the court, and the Khan's Ama has already agreed..."
When Shu Shu heard this, her reaction was similar to Brother Jiu's, with a slightly complicated mood.
Shu Shu herself had admiration and curiosity for this outstanding princess of the Qing Dynasty, but because of the Guo Luoluo family and Guo Guiren, they were not close to each other.
"Don't worry, Lao Shi is right. Sister Kejing is a smart person and won't antagonize us. She has to face it."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu nodded, Yikun Palace had a beloved concubine and four princes.
It would be unwise for Princess Kejing to make her dissatisfaction obvious.
For Concubine Yi and her son, she, Princess Fumeng, is dispensable; but for her, a princess of low birth, she needs someone to speak to in front of the emperor.
Shu Shu wanted to understand this, so she advised Brother Jiu: "Don't always think about Guo Guiren in your heart, think about the emperor. The emperor will definitely not be happy with the alienation between siblings..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I am no longer Wu Xia Amen. I can also talk to people and talk to ghosts."
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, growth must come little by little.
If only compared with Brother Jiu himself, he has still made progress.
There was no talking all night, and the next day was April 20th, the day when the woman went to the palace to pay her respects.
When Brother Jiu went to the Yamen, Shu Shu asked Xiao Chun: "How many sets of clothes did you make this summer?"
Xiaochun said: "Twenty sets, four sets of silk clothes worn in April, four sets of Zhiluo clothes worn in May, twelve sets of solid yarns of various colors, bright ground yarns, and fragrant cloud yarns worn in June and July...
"
I tend to sweat a lot in summer, so I have to wash my upper body clothes after changing them.
With current dyes, clothes cannot be worn outside after two or three washes.
Therefore, when it comes to new clothes every year, summer is the most common, followed by spring and autumn, and appropriate additions are made in winter.
Shu Shu said: "Hang up two sets of bright colors before the end of the month. I haven't been to the palace for half a year to pay my respects. I want to show off my good complexion..."
Xiao Chun thought for a while and said: "There is a camellia red dress, which is more like pink than red, and looks pink and tender; there is also a bamboo green dress, which makes the face white..."
Shu Shu said without hesitation: "I want camellia red, it's pink and tender..."
As she spoke, she took a hand mirror and took a good look in the mirror.
Apart from a sharper chin, I have no other problems. My eighteen-year-old face is still shiny and elastic.
However, there is no solution for dry hair. I can only take care of it slowly...
Ninth Prince's Mansion, Ninth Prince's carriage has not left yet.
Today is the day of the tenth day, and the ten lucky Jins are going to the palace to pay their respects.
The tenth elder brother must first follow Shi Fujin in the carriage, and then get down to the ninth elder brother's carriage after arriving at Shenwumen.
Brother Jiu looked at the two people chirping, folded his arms, and rolled his eyes.
Just as he was about to get into the car, there was movement in front of him. It was the eighth prince riding over.
"Ninth brother, tenth brother, tenth brother and sister..."
Brother Ninth also leaned forward and said: "Brother Eight..."
The tenth prince and the tenth prince were also about to get on the bus, but now they stopped moving to greet the eighth prince.
The ninth elder brother didn't want to look at the eighth elder brother, so he looked around and found a carriage parked at the door of Babeizi Mansion.
There is a girl in Babeizi Mansion who wants to come to the palace to pay her respects?
Is it the Bafujin or the Fucha clan?
If it was the Fucha family, would it be necessary to send a greeting card to Ningshou Palace first?
Brother Jiu was thinking wildly.
The eighth prince had already looked at Shi Fujin and said, "I, Fujin, will also enter the palace today, so I can go with my brothers and sisters."
Shi Fujin blinked and did not respond immediately, but looked at Brother Ten.
She has never even met that blessed person, who was a strange combination of circumstances.
When we were getting engaged the year before last, the girls we met were Si Fujin and Shu Shu.
When they got married early last year, Bafujin was in confinement and did not show up.
Later, when Shifu came to visit southern Shanxi, he went to live in Changchun Garden.
Bafujin stopped here to pay his respects, but encountered misfortunes one after another, and then he could not "recuperate" from illness.
Brother Ten said: "That's my sister-in-law, please respect her."
Shifujin immediately nodded and said: "I understand..."
The last time Brother Ten said this, he was talking about Sanfujin during his southern tour.
Since you want to be respectful, of course you don’t need to be too intimate.
After hearing what the eighth elder brother said, the ninth elder brother glanced at the eighth elder brother.
It is indeed a good opportunity to release the Eight Fortunes at this time.
Although Ba Fu was arrogant and willful before his Jin Dynasty, and was disliked by his elders.
But now that the scandal between the Yaqibs and his wife has come out, when everyone thinks about the reasons, they will feel a little more sympathetic and tolerant towards Ba Fujin.
Everyone pities the weak.
The eighth elder brother noticed the ninth elder brother's gaze, looked at him, hesitated, and said: "Ninth elder brother, hot spring palace..."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said: "I made some decisions on my own. I didn't discuss it with everyone. I just thought about jointly dedicating the palace to you. Last time, I returned the banker's ticket to you and withheld the ticket to the palace.
Ten thousand taels, if you don't have enough money, I'll send it back to you later..."
The eighth prince shook his head hurriedly and said: "I'm not asking about the palace, I'm just thinking about the place in Xiaotangshan..."
Brother Jiu said: "You also want to build a hot spring village? Then you have to send off the ceremony early and let others pick out the good places."
As for the price, it remains high anyway and there are no discounts for the time being.
Otherwise, the other brothers will be deceived?
He met Prince Zhuang and Prince Xin, and the eldest brother, fourth brother and Lao Shi asked people to buy the land in Xiaotangshan at a high price, fearing that the two men would collude with the clan and cause trouble for him.
When the time comes, the land of Xiaotangshan will fall into his hands, and Brother Jiu will have to bear the famine.
Fifth brother and seventh brother followed.
Then like a sudden gust of wind, the princes and princes of the clan rushed to buy land.
The elder brothers are kind-hearted, but Brother Jiu cannot really take advantage of them.
Just as the two boatloads of lake stones that Ji Hong had brought arrived, they not only needed the palace but also had a lot of wealth, so the ninth prince divided them among his brothers.
When I arrived at Ba Age's place, there were no subsidies at all.
The eighth prince's smile was a little forced.
What he wanted to say was whether the 140,000 taels of banknotes could continue to be used as the principal. He couldn't bear to lose face. He couldn't take advantage of him in such a big way. He also couldn't understand what Brother Jiu said. He really didn't expect the other side.
Yes, it was deliberately deviated.
As for building a villa, a dozen or two acres of land?
The eighth prince is still undecided.
Everyone else has it, but it would be too conspicuous if he didn't.
But if you really want to build it, it will be a waste of money.
Of the 230,000 taels of silver, there are now only a few hundred thousand taels left.
The remaining tens of thousands taels were previously asked to be purchased by Yaqibu. However, a few days ago, it was discovered that the purchased properties were falsely reported and that Yaqibu had embezzled thirty thousand taels of silver.
Yaqi raised his wife's house and purchased private property with the money.
By the time the carriage set off, it was already half an hour later.
Brother Jiu sat in the carriage and curled his lips.
Isn't this just talking about people and talking about ghosts?
What's so difficult?
It's just that the Eighth Prince is quite funny. He actually acts like nothing is wrong and wants to mention Xiaotangshan. His face is much thicker than before. Before, he didn't like the fireworks of the world. How can he mention money...
There was no conversation all the way, and the carriage drove for two quarters of an hour and arrived outside the Shenwu Gate.
Shi Fujin got off the carriage, and with a bit of reluctance, he asked Brother Shi: "Are you still going to a restaurant at noon?"
The tenth prince nodded and said patiently: "Exit! I asked someone to book a private room in Yufeng Tower. There happens to be live fish today. I will pick you up here at the beginning of the afternoon. You don't have to rush out of the palace. You can talk to the Queen Mother.
Go and say hello to your concubine."
