It seemed that in no time, we arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Brother Jiu got off the carriage and turned around to help Shushu get out of the carriage.
Shu Shu, on the other hand, saw the figure in front of him.
It turned out that the fourth prince came on horseback.
Seeing this, Shu Shu was busy and blessed.
Only then did Brother Jiu realize what he was doing. He looked up at the sky and felt that it was still early.
He said something about something: "Fourth brother, are you back from the Yamen so early today?"
On weekdays, aren’t you covered in stars and the moon?
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, who should he blame?
Wasn't this because the ninth elder brother was showing off, and the emperor's father specifically ordered him to go home an hour early?
Although it is not a formal oral instruction, it is a golden word, and the fourth elder brother will naturally obey it.
Brother Jiu knew that this man must be here for anything, so he said: "Are you worried about harvesting corn? Don't worry, I'll take half a day to go there at worst."
The sage's tour outside the Great Wall will take at least two months, that is, he will return in mid-to-late September, and the corn will be harvested around the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Fourth Brother nodded, but had no intention of leaving.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu knew that the brothers had something to say, so she apologized and took Xiao Chun and Walnut back to the main room.
The ninth elder brother took the fourth elder brother to the front yard and living room.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Brother Si asked, "Where did Fusong go?"
Brother Jiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I was asked by Khan Amma to take charge of an errand."
Brother Si saw his guilty look and said, "Is this something you came up with again? It hasn't come true yet?"
Brother Jiu moved his eyes away and said: "Anyway, it is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Fourth brother, please don't ask. If you ask me, I can't tell you. When can I tell you later? It depends on Khan Ama."
The fourth elder brother was not annoyed, and only warned: "If you are strict with your mouth, be strict to the end."
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "Of course, this Imperial matter is not something that can be gossiped about casually. No one should be told about it."
Brother Si said: "When it comes to harvesting corn, just take a few days to worry about calculating the output, and then give Khan Amma a discount."
Brother Jiu heard that this was wrong, and quickly shook his head and said: "Don't bother, you should arrange for others, as if you are greedy for your credit, and don't take advantage of this."
Brother Si frowned and said, "What are you talking about? It was your idea to try growing corn in Gyeonggi Province..."
Brother Jiu stood up and said: "But it is you, Fourth Brother, who has been doing the work for the past six months. Don't be nagging. Is Khan Ama from Hutu? There is no such way to give credit. I get what I deserve and what I don't deserve."
, what happened to me when I stretched out my hand? Don’t deceive your brother..."
The fourth elder brother was speechless.
He didn't hold it, so he realized his mistake and changed his words: "I thought it was wrong, then I'll watch and try to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourth elder brother, looked him up and down, and said: "Fourth brother, are you public-minded, or are you seeking personal gain in the name of public service?"
After hearing this, Fourth Brother frowned and said, "Why is it involved in personal gain?"
Brother Jiu pointed to the east and said, "Sister-in-law Fourth and that Li Gege are about to give birth. You insist on returning to Beijing to harvest corn at this time. Who will believe that you are completely selfless?"
Only the fourth elder brother knew what the ninth elder brother was referring to.
The timing is indeed coincidental.
The due dates of Si Fujin and Li Gege are both in early September, but this woman's delivery is not guaranteed, and delays are rare. Even ten and a half days in advance is common.
Brother Jiu said: "Aren't there still people from Baylor Mansion staring at the cornfield? If there are still people who dare to trick you, you can just go out and relax for two months without any worries."
Fourth Brother did not nod or shake his head, and said: "I have my own arrangements..."
He didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
Brother Jiu sent it out and knew that he came here to remind him out of kindness, so he said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, we live next to each other. When the fourth sister-in-law is activated, I, Fujin, will just come over..."
At this point, he frowned and said: "What's going on with the Nala family? What's wrong with the old lady accompanying the childbirth in Baylor Mansion? She still insists on taking her back. She seems filial at this time..."
The fourth elder brother's face didn't look good either, and he was not very satisfied with the behavior of the Nala family.
But who is the culprit?
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother.
With the example of Ninth Prince, the Nala family is worried that Sibeile Mansion will follow suit and detain the old lady to support her. In that case, that one will become a joke.
When the ninth elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother was looking at him, he gave him some advice and said: "How can a girl like this not want to be nirvana? The more she is at this time, the more willing she is to be accompanied by her own mother. Shengjia empress just left the capital. , Fourth brother, please go there in person tomorrow and invite the old lady over, I don’t believe the Nala family dares to keep anyone..."
Brother Si was noncommittal and waved his hand: "Okay, don't worry about it blindly. I know it well."
After saying that, he got on his horse and went to Sibeile Mansion.
At this moment, the eighth elder brother was coming around the corner and saw the fourth elder brother coming out of the ninth elder brother's house.
The eighth prince was riding on the horse with a solemn expression on his face.
It seems that the fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother have a very close relationship.
The ninth elder brother had already turned back, and the fourth elder brother arrived at his door. When he saw the eighth elder brother riding back, he did not enter the house immediately, but dismounted and waited.
Seeing this, the eighth elder brother urged his horse forward, turned over and said: "Fourth brother..."
The fourth elder brother looked at him and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were blue, and he said: "Even if you are busy with errands, you should take care of your body. If you are sick, my concubine will be worried."
The eighth elder brother nodded and said: "I understand, thank you fourth brother for your concern."
He wanted to ask Fourth Brother about the Northern Patrol Women's Volume.
Are you taking Fujin?
Or with grid?
The words came to my lips and I swallowed them again.
The holy concubine is the one with the female title, and the ranked concubines include the virtuous concubine, the concubine He, the concubine Min, and the noble concubine.
Then should the accompanying princes also be regarded as women with status?
Unfortunately, among the princes in the retinue, the eldest elder brother did not have Fu Jin, the fourth and fifth elder brothers' Fujin was in labor, and the married princes also had the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother.
It seems useless to ask Fourth Brother.
He could only follow the example of the third elder brother, not the fourth elder brother.
The eighth prince swallowed his words again.
Si Age, here, was in a hurry to go home and discuss with Si Fujin about picking up people from Nala's house, so he said: "Let's go back then, we will be busy these days."
The eighth prince nodded and left the door of Sibeile Mansion.
The brothers have reached the point where they have nothing to say.

Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.
Shu Shu had already washed herself briefly and changed into outer clothes. She was wearing Gebu clothes.
This material is cool to wear and can only be used as a shirt on weekdays. It is fine to wear at home, but not suitable for going out.
Brother Jiu came back and saw that she liked the material, so he said, "I'll ask someone to buy some from Guangzhou for next summer."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this, there are merchants, just buy it in Beijing."
The couple had a relatively full lunch, and since they were not hungry at night, they simply ate.
After the couple rested in the evening, the ninth elder brother told Shu Shu about the purpose of the fourth elder brother's previous visit.
"I saw something was wrong, so I came over and asked. This is the disadvantage of living next to each other. Just like when I lived with my elder brother, everything that happened was under the eyes of others..."
Brother Jiu thought, he really regretted it.
As long as there is a regret medicine, he will take the tenth prince to choose a place on the boundary of Zhenghuang Banner, preferably a southerly location, next to Zhenghong Banner.
At present, of these two neighbors, one has to guard against mischief, and the other must guard against nagging.
Not very pleasant.
Shu Shu comforted: "I only like the ones I'm optimistic about. The Zhijun Prince's Mansion and Sanbeile Mansion are not small, but that's the regulation of the mansion. The surrounding open space is not as big as ours. The side rooms occupied in the back streets are half the size of the mansion."
It’s so big.”
This side is close to the city wall, it is considered a remote area, and the area of the official house is larger.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right. If the yard at the back is not used for free and only rents are collected, it can be reduced by a thousand taels a year."
It's a pity that just thinking about it, it is impossible for outsiders to live here.
Shu Shu thought of Fu Song, hesitated, and said, "Will the emperor test the medicine on prisoners awaiting death row?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "That should be it."
Shu Shu frowned and said, "But didn't Eighth Prince stare at the Qiu Jue files in the Criminal Department a while ago? Could he know something?"
Brother Jiu said: "You know it, you know it, but does he dare to show it to you?"
Fusong was so overwhelmed that it was the paperwork that summarized it, and Zhao Chang was responsible for the specific matters.
When Eighth Prince meets someone, he will become honest.
Shu Shu thought about it and let it go.
The ninth elder brother has already talked about encouraging the fourth elder brother to pick up the old lady Nala.
"We are just relatives. If there is really a danger, the midwife will ask, 'take care of the elders and protect the younger ones.' There needs to be someone who can make the decision..."
He expressed his selfishness: "We can help, but we can't cause trouble for ourselves. It would be bad if we just complain."
Shu Shu was stunned, she had never thought of this before.
She touched her head.
Really stupid!
She would have thought of this before changing.
Her kindness to the outside world is to protect herself, otherwise she will not get work for herself.
But when she went to visit her two sisters-in-law this morning, she didn't think of this and took care of everything.
"For Fourth Brother, the old lady will take over and it will be stable. When the time comes, you will be an elder and your mother-in-law, so you will naturally have the right to make the decision..."
"For the fifth brother, I also persuaded him to go to his in-law's house. Loyalty comes first with filial piety. Don't talk about him. The old lady of the La family has other daughters-in-law. Even if there is no daughter, there are still maids, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law around. The fifth brother's mother-in-law must be there to serve.
Sick?"
Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.
The Wufujin family is the second wife, and the old lady favors the eldest son. She is afraid that the second son and his wife will use the prince's son-in-law to oppress the eldest son, and she is concerned about the Spyge and the worldly position, so she usually suppresses the second wife.
His Talla family is also a middle-class noble, but the rank is not high, so it cannot be ranked. But for the banner people, it is the job for their descendants for several lifetimes.
The old lady was naturally afraid that her second son would take her away from her.
Brother Jiu told Shu Shu about Wufujin’s natal family, and said: "Zhang Baozhu is a bit foolish and filial. If the family had been separated early, even if there was no prince's son-in-law, he would have been promoted to a secretary through experience in writing...
"
He was the most protective of others, but he already understood the importance and did not rashly interfere in his family's housework. He only encouraged the fifth elder brother to show up.
Shu Shu listened and held Brother Jiu's hand, feeling much more at ease.
She is stupid, but someone is smart...
