The current two-tier lord system of the Eight Banners is indeed a bit strange.
But everyone knows that there are still differences.
Lords and bannermen also complement each other and share interests, so marriage is the best way.
My aunt became the successor of Fujin in Prince Kang's Palace. Although the marriage was nominally arranged by the palace, the candidate to succeed Fujin was chosen by Prince Kang's Palace itself and begged by the palace.
Shu Shu did not beat around the bush, looked directly at Brother Ninth and said: "I know that I don't want to see those left leaders and those in charge, because they are thinking about sending girls, and also want to send rich ladies; in the future, there will be left leaders under my banner.
Leader, that’s what I mean, don’t worry about this ‘nest-side grass’!”
After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately felt aggrieved and said, "Who are you now? It seems that I have a lustful heart. When have you ever cared about others?"
Shu Shu said: "It's good that I remember it in my heart. I can't tolerate the word 'second master' among my staff, and I don't like the in-laws from the third or fifth family. I will tell them later that if they still care about my daughter climbing a high tree, I can join them directly."
On to the 'small selection' list."
Brother Jiu took her and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Who are these people? Is it their turn to plot against us?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu and said: "To outsiders, I can only be very angry. If you make me angry, then I can only be very angry."
Seeing that she was talking more than usual, Brother Jiu poured a cup of milk tea and handed it to her mouth, saying: "Don't be angry, how can I bear to be angry with you?"
Shu Shu took two sips to moisten her throat.
In fact, what she wanted to say was that if brother Jiu wanted to find a new love in five or ten years, he should go further away and look for her, but she swallowed the words as soon as they reached her lips.
I always feel like saying it hurts my feelings.
Also, after three years of marriage, she has shown her jealousy several times.
She lay down on the kang and said, "Anyway, I just remember that I am a stingy person."
Brother Jiu lay down next to her and said, "This is a match made in heaven. I am also stingy."
As he spoke, he thought about today's events and guessed: "Are you feeling sorry for Sister Seven?"
When talking about Qibele Mansion outside, no one mentions killing his wife, but this "concubine" looks like the real deal.
Qi Fujin only has one daughter to his name, and she is not in good health; Na La Gege has two daughters and a son, and she still has one in her belly.
In other words, Qi Fujin's natal family is powerful, and he has a strong character, otherwise it would be hard to say at the moment.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "There are many kinds of couples in this world. There are wives like the Crown Princess and the Seventh Sister-in-law who are like the head of the family; there are also wives like the Bafujin who don't care about anything and are all about their husbands.
And there is a wife like me who can’t tolerate others and just wants to live a life with me wholeheartedly.”
Brother Ninth said proudly: "In this world, there are heartless husbands like the prince and seventh brother; there are also cold and selfish husbands like third brother and eighth brother; there are also incomprehensible and romantic husbands like the eldest brother and fourth brother; and there are fifth brothers.
Even though he is so chaotic, he knows what is good and what is bad, and he is the most considerate person!"
Shu Shu laughed at his joke, pinched his face and said, "My master is getting thicker and thicker."
Brother Jiu hummed and said: "To be too modest is to be deceitful, but this is sincerity."
The suffocation in Shu Shu's heart dissipated and she said, "This year's corn harvest has been finished. How was the harvest?"
She was still thinking about eating tender corn and wanted to ask for some seeds so that she could plant some in the village next year.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's definitely good, but the good land doesn't show up, and the lower-grade fields are better. I told Gao Bin and asked him to leave a few acres of seeds and we can plant some ourselves next year."
Shu Shu was satisfied after hearing this.
Brother Ninth remembered the matter of "welcoming the emperor" and said: "Last year we went to the southern tour to 'welcome the emperor', and now we have to behave. No matter whether Khan Ama is right or not, he has to let his old man know that his sons are
I miss him."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "The emperor must be happy, but the fatigue of the carriage and horses probably won't let me and my tenth brother go too far out of the capital."
Brother Jiu said: "I think so too. It's probably Tangshan that welcomes us, but it's a good time to see the progress of the palace's renovation."
Shu Shu had no objection. This kind of two- or three-day separation was still necessary, and the couple also breathed a sigh of relief.
She also had a plan in mind, and when the time came, she persuaded her mother-in-law to take the three babies and go back to Dutong Mansion for a family reunion.
She and Brother Jiu went back to Dutong Mansion once before, but they didn't take the children with them.
Besides, Enie has met her grandchildren several times. Some of the others have been seen once when they were born, and some have not been seen at all.
Now the children are half a year old, and the autumn weather is crisp, just in time to go out.
The next day, the ninth elder brother arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wrote a "Welcome" note, and then asked He Yuzhu to send it to the clan mansion. After the tenth elder brother had named it, he sent it to the south study room.
A few days later, the discount arrived in Xingzai.
The holy driver is already on his way back to Luang.
Kangxi was indeed in a good mood.
He still remembered Gao Bin's corn harvest account book, which was obviously based on Brother Jiu's book from last year.
That boy worked as a long-term follower to Ninth Brother for two years, so he got some experience.
Brother Ninth Brother himself is lazy, but he still has his strengths, and he can also control the people he brings out.
But now that the seasons are changing, it is most likely to get sick. Kangxi was really worried that the ninth elder brother was messing around, so he thought about it and wrote on the note: "You can go to Tangshan to meet him."
By the time Zhezi arrived in the capital, it was already the fifth day of September.
The Holy Emperor returned to Luang earlier than expected. He arrived at Tangquan on the tenth day of the lunar month and returned to Beijing on the eleventh day.
The ninth elder brother discussed with the tenth elder brother and planned to set off on the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month and arrive at Tangquan before noon.
Both brothers have guards and guards in the prince's palace. They don't need palace guards and guards, and there is no need to report here.
However, there were also academicians and ministers in Beijing to "welcome" and they would go at the same time, so the news of the two princes' "welcome" also spread.

Yuqing Palace, study room.
The prince was looking at the statistics of correspondence between the emperor and the palace. He could not see the letter from the emperor, but there was someone in the Ministry of War who knew some general information.
For example, Brother Jiu sent a greeting card to the emperor several times and sent private messages several times.
There are a total of two private letters and three please give me a message.
The prince didn't take it to heart before.
But knowing that the last greeting note was jointly signed with the Tenth Prince, the prince had second thoughts.
What does Niu Hulu’s family mean?
Aling'a, the head of the family, became Akedun's teacher, and also wanted to get close to the East Palace.
Although the prince looked displeased with him before, he has now changed his mind. He can turn conflicts into friendship with the Tong family, and it doesn't matter if he can make peace with Aling'a.
Aling'a's eldest daughter is married to Bahrain Santaiji, and the second daughter is older than Aktun, but the third daughter is about the same age as Aktun.
If he really wants to get married, he won't have to worry about the tenth prince in the future. This is also a way to save the tenth prince.
When the prince thought of this, he put the tenth prince down.
It's better to pay attention to the eldest brother. Just look at the candidates for next year's successor and you will know what the emperor's heart is...

In a blink of an eye, it’s the tenth day of September.
Because he had to hurry, the ninth elder brother got up early, and Maozheng went out of the city with the tenth elder brother.
Shu Shu is also here. Today is the day to enter the palace to pay respects. You have to walk around the palace before you can return to Dutong Mansion.
Two days ago, I sent someone to Dutong Mansion to deliver a message.
Zhuliang even came here specially.
What Qi Xi meant was to prepare a car to pick him up.
My aunt Guining, going back by herself is different from taking her back.
Although Shu Shu felt that there was no need to go through this form since her family members were four or five miles apart, she had no objection.
This is the love of an old father, accept it.
However, she was also afraid that her family would pick her up too early and would have to wait here in vain, so she made an agreement with Zhu Liang to pick her up on time.
After entering the palace, Shu Shu followed the same routine, first went to Yikun Palace to say hello, chatted with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for a few words, and then arrived at Ningshou Palace.
The Queen Mother is very happy these days.
First, Wu Fujin gave birth to a child successfully, and then Jiu Gege’s wedding date was set, which is on the 21st of this month.
If you marry far away, you will inevitably feel sad, but if you marry in the capital, even the princess's palace is next to the imperial city, only one mile away from Donghua Gate.
If Jiu Gege wants to enter the palace to pay his respects, he can just lift his legs to get there, which is very convenient.
The old lady was happy and kind to everyone, and said to Concubine Hui: "I got two jars of black sesame pills, give you one jar to nourish your hair."
Although Concubine Hui was not as good looking as Concubine Rong and Concubine Yi, she had good hair, black and thick, and everyone was envious of her.
Concubine Hui stood up and said with a smile: "Thank you, empress. I have had white hair on my head and center these past two days, which is really annoying."
The Queen Mother said: "Don't be afraid, I can recover after half a year of eating."
Then she looked at Yi Fei and said: "I also left some donkey-hide gelatin for you, which nourishes the blood. You should also take it as a tonic, but you still lost money. It doesn't look as rosy as the past two years."
Concubine Yi also stood up and thanked her, saying: "I'm a little short of breath. In previous years, I would rather come here to say hello at this time. I would rather walk, exercise, and feel comfortable moving my muscles. But now I don't like walking. I sweat every time I move."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was worried and said: "Then you have to make up for it. At this age, it will still last a long time. It is better to be solid."
Concubine Tong still complained of illness and did not show up.
There are only three concubines today, and the other one is Xianfu Palace Concubine.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and said: "The people from the Horqin Department who are on duty this year have arrived and brought beef jerky and fried rice. When you arrive later, you can take a portion and soak it in milk tea to eat."
Concubine Xianfu also stood up and thanked her.
The Empress Dowager did not speak as the remaining concubines and concubines were sitting. Instead, she looked at Shu Shu and asked, "When is Sifu Jin's delivery date?"
Shu Shu said: "Returning to the emperor's grandmother, the fourth sister-in-law mentioned that it is around the Double Ninth Festival, so it should be within these few days..."
The Queen Mother nodded.
That's fine, the Holy Master will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and Fourth Brother will come back with him.
Otherwise, she wanted to give Shu Shu a few words and ask Shu Shu to go over and accompany her.
Shu Shu is a lucky person. Even if he doesn't know where to go, he will bring out a little brother.
The old lady believes in Buddhism and is relatively pious.
Shu Shu has been associated with Buddhism since she was born, and she has a good heart.
When the triplets were born and all stood together, she became even more sure of Shu Shu's good fortune...

When I went to bed last night, I saw that the monthly ticket category ranked first. I was excited. But when I saw it just now, I suppressed it again and started rolling around asking for monthly tickets.
