Chapter 1,089 Ambition (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
Shu Shu heard this and said, "Is that picture recovered from an illness?"
Brother Jiu couldn't help complaining: "After the new year, I have been off and on for a few days. I guess I will still be sick when I fall asleep, so I don't have to postpone the engagement day any longer, so I hurry up and choose."
It's just that I don't have time to report illness like this for long.
It will only take a year and a half at most before he is ready to resign.
A bachelor is the prime minister of the country, so it is not easy for him to sit down and have a vegetarian meal.
Shu Shu said: "Now that Prime Minister Zhang is preparing to retire, he has retreated from the rapids. With the love between monarch and minister, grace can fall on Mr. Zhang and his brothers, which is also a good thing."
Brother Ninth said: "In that case, our Prince's Mansion will really go to inspect the new ceremony."
Cao Shun can take Gao Yanzhong's position, but Gui Yuan cannot take Zhang Tingzhan's position. He still needs an old man.
Otherwise, every old man would be a young man without a beard, and sometimes he would not think well.
Shu Shu said: "Look back and see if the emperor has directed anyone to come down. If not, we can look for it ourselves."
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is constantly reorganizing.
If the ninth elder brother holds the Ministry of Internal Affairs in his hands, then Kangxi may have to hold the Prince's Palace in his hands in order to feel at ease.
Brother Jiu couldn't think of this, so he just thought it would save Shu Shutu trouble and said: "I think so too. Let's see if there are any ready-made people at Khan Ama first, so as to save worries..."
With Fu Song in the Prince's Mansion, it's hard to arrange any relatives in the Dutong Mansion. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, it would be his own Fu Jin who is trying to plunder his family members.
What about your own side?
The mother clan, the Guo Luoluo family, has already used two people, so that’s enough.
Since there is no suitable candidate, it would be better to ask the emperor to arrange the candidate.
Mrs. Bo looked at the two of them, her expression unchanged, but she was thinking deeply in her heart.
When Brother Jiu returned to the front yard, Mrs. Bo gave Shu Shu a wink.
Shu Shu found a reason and asked Jiu Age to go back first, while she stayed.
"Amu..."
Mrs. Bo sent the girl away and said, "Is there something wrong in the palace? You have already moved out, why are you still so careful?"
Anyone who fills a job in the mansion must respect his orders.
How many young people are in charge of the family and prefer to be in charge of their elders?
Shu Shu couldn't say that as the princes grew older, they would have to take over the heir apparent, so she pointed in the direction of Qingxi Bookstore and complained in a low voice: "Obviously I am the father-in-law, but because I want to be a mother-in-law, I have to take care of every son's affairs. How can I do that?"
Why don't I let go and let the emperor worry about it? If you worry too much, you will get used to being biased in the future."
Mrs. Bo was a little surprised and said: "I just thought you didn't like being controlled since you were a child, so now you are submissive."
Shu Shu said coquettishly: "Compared to others, life here is 90% smooth. If you worry about what you do if you don't go well, it doesn't matter. Just be more open-minded."
Mrs. Bo nodded and said: "It's okay, no one is trying to win over Brother Jiu now, but I can't guarantee it in the future. It's okay if there is a door god to stand up for him."
"Uh-huh……"
Shu Shu responded.
Mrs. Bo added: "Since Mr. Zhang is thinking about getting old, he reckons that the marriage to Fusong will be carried out soon. It may not be early next year. I know you are a good sister, but as I said, don't worry about the injustice of the minority, and you can't subsidize the wife."
But, so as not to hurt the relationship between siblings and brothers."
The main reason is that Fu Song is just a cousin. With an extra cousin, you have to be careful and don't give others the chance to get maggots.
It's just that it's hard to say this clearly, otherwise Shu Shu will feel uncomfortable and the relationship between the siblings will be awkward in the future.
Shu Shu agreed honestly.
Earlier, she felt that the relationship between siblings was different. For example, the relationship between her and Fu Song and Zhu Liang was definitely different from the relationship between her and Xiao Liu. How could they be the same despite the length of time they spent together?
Now she thinks more carefully.
It's better to have a similar appearance, and you have to take care of Amma and Enie's face.
Otherwise, if there were more or less, others would think that the siblings in Dutong Mansion were at odds with each other.
When Shu Shu returned to the main room, Brother Jiu was writing a letter to Cao Yin in the study.
In addition to the official document, he also planned to attach a private letter, not to encourage Yanzhong to go to the south of the Yangtze River, but to urge the craftsmen to go north.
If we can arrive in autumn, then we can't say that the first batch of sheep will be out in winter.
Go back to the inner and outer halls to see the Mongolian reaction.
Neither cashmere nor woolen materials are suitable for Mongolian winters, but they are just right for spring and autumn, as they are more breathable and warmer than ordinary materials.
Without interrupting, Shu Shu sat down on the south kang, braiding a knot on her hand, which was a jade pendant for the ninth elder brother.
This virtuous nature cannot be hidden away, it must always be exposed.
After finishing the letter, Brother Jiu put down his pen and said, "Does the County Lord plan to go back to Dutong Mansion?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's not that, it's just telling me to set an example and think about being fair to the children and being fair to my brothers."
Brother Jiu said: "How can it be the same? You are just a sister, not a father and mother. You have to be as long as five fingers. If I were like you and treated your brothers and sisters as old men, then what would happen all day long?
I don’t have to do anything else here, and I don’t have enough to worry about them.”
Shu Shu said: "Even if we want to subsidize, we don't have to do it openly. Otherwise, if Zhuliang and the others don't care, my sister-in-law will have to do something wrong when she comes in from now on."
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "They are really that stingy. Just tell them to go away and ignore them..."
Speaking of this, he remembered the farce in Sunubeizi's house a few days ago and said: "Zhao Ye said that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. For such people, it would be most worry-free to cancel the engagement. There will be too many relatives at once. Already."
By then there will be more than a dozen brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and more than twenty aunts and sisters-in-law.
Just this daily interpersonal communication is giving people a headache.
Shu Shu shook her head.
Unless the marriage is broken by Beizi Mansion, the Dong E family will not cancel the marriage.
That's the clan's character. Even if she is a daughter of the concubine Fujin and has no title, it is not something that ministers can pick on and neglect. Otherwise, how will the emperor view her?
Do you think that the Dong E family is arrogant and does not take their eldest daughter into consideration, thus losing respect?
"We are all old relatives. It's hard to break the contract. Please don't say such words again and make the mistress feel uncomfortable..." Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore..."
*
The next day, Brother Jiu went into the city alone.
The tenth elder brother has a leg injury. Yesterday he sent someone to the clan mansion to ask for three months' leave and began to recuperate at home.
Third Brother is also resting at home.
In fact, his arm is fine, but the atmosphere outside is weird right now. His biological mother has been demoted. No matter what his son does, he will be criticized and criticized, so it's better to avoid him.
The Eighth Prince did not go to the Ministry of Punishment either.
His injury was on his face, and it looked the least serious at the time. The imperial doctor didn't even check it, and others just thought it was just a bump on his nose.
In fact, the swelling started on the same day, and now on the third day, the swelling has not subsided.
Yesterday afternoon, Princess Kejing sent Chief Shi to visit with a message from Princess Kejing and told her about her visit today.
However, the eighth elder brother knew that he would not come too early. He should first go to Beitou where the third elder brother was, then his own place, and finally the tenth elder brother's place.
Princess Kejing has an exquisite personality and will not talk about it.
Sure enough, at three o'clock in the morning, the eighth prince got the news, and Princess Kejing took her servants and walked to Beisuo.
The eighth elder brother went directly to the main room and said to Ba Fujin: "The fourth sister will come here soon. She is not what she used to be. She is now the princess of Tuxietu Khan. Even Khan Ama must give her some dignity."
Bafujin knew the implication behind his words, that is, don’t offend him and get closer to him.
She looked at the eighth elder brother and said: "Since the fourth princess was raised by Concubine Yi, she is definitely with the ninth elder brother. I'm afraid she won't be too close to us..."
The eighth elder brother shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. Even if we are not close now, we will get closer in the future... She is a smart person. If she really wants to find internal support in the court, she should know that the fifth brother and the ninth elder brother are unreliable..."
He himself is an ambitious person, and he can see through the ambition in Princess Kejing.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The eighth prince felt that he and Princess Kejing were the same kind of people.
Compared with the confused fifth elder brother and the short-sighted ninth elder brother, Princess Kejing would prefer brothers like him.
Ba Fujin looked at Ba Age, feeling very puzzled.
Why did I think that Eighth Prince was good before?
This kind of self-righteous arrogance makes people feel ridiculous.
While the couple was talking, there was movement outside. It was the eunuch from the front who came in and reported: "Master, the Crown Prince has sent someone over..."
The eighth prince was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'll go take a look..."
He remembered the prince's attitude the night before yesterday. The prince was biased towards him and was not bothered by Shi Age Lake like the others.
A secret expectation arose in his heart.
As for my eldest brother, I was quite close to him before, but in the past two years, I have become much alienated from him.
I am not the daughter of Concubine Hui, and I am not the same brother as the eldest brother, so why do I have to take care of the eldest brother?
Arriving at the front, one of the eunuchs in charge of Yuqing Palace came, whom Eighth Prince had met in his early years.
"I've seen Master Eight..."
The chief eunuch was very respectful.
The eighth prince nodded in return and said, "I wonder why the prince called the manager over..."
Behind that man was a little eunuch, holding a brocade parcel in his hand.
"The Crown Prince is concerned about the Eighth Master's injury. Yesterday he sent someone back to Yuqing Palace to get some medicine..."
The eunuch in charge opened the package and found boxes one after another.
"In addition to medicine, there are also four bottles of perfume, which can be used to cool and repel mosquitoes in summer..."
It turned out to be the leftover rose perfume.
The prince liked the taste because he recalled his biological mother, so he asked people to buy a lot of it.
Later, when the father and son talked in Qingxi Bookstore, Kangxi did not allow the prince to use this smoked clothes again.
The prince was extremely angry, but he couldn't help but insist on twisting things even after he had been told to do so.
The remaining bottles of perfume made him think of Eighth Prince.
One is to recycle waste, and the other is to see if the emperor really doesn't like the taste, or if he just doesn't like using it himself...
Brother Ba looked at the exquisite glass bottles and knew that they were from the West or Southeast Asia and were expensive.
He was quite flattered, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked very calm and said: "Please let the prince worry about it. I will go over to pay my respects to the prince later..."
*
I went to bed late for the past three days and I felt groggy today, so I went to bed early today.
Everyone, please take care of yourself, eat well, and don't be too tired.
Then I pointed my fingers and whispered, asking for a guaranteed monthly pass.
The next update will be at 12 noon on May 2, welcome to Qidian APP
