Shu Shu followed Brother Jiu's gaze and saw the banknotes and gold bars on the table.
"Fifth brother gave it to me?"
Although he knew that the fifth elder brother was sacrificing his heart and soul because of his biological brother, Shu Shu, the younger brother and sister, felt embarrassed.
The debts from the previous two debts have not been settled yet...
This adds another touch...
Brother Ninth nodded, then shook his head: "There are fifth brothers, but not all of them belong to the fifth brother, there are also the boss's..."
As he spoke, he curled his lips: "I found that Fifth Brother is a bit stupid, and I want to defraud him of his money... The boss is not smart either, he is stupid and generous..."
Shu Shu glanced at him, and there was no trace of disgust in his mouth, and his tail was about to be raised.
This is proud.
Two older brothers felt sorry for him. They heard that he was short of money and took the initiative to give him money.
If the previous Ninth Brother would not have calculated the money between brothers so clearly, he would have regarded these as pocket money supplemented by his brothers.
Being influenced by Shu Shu'er these days, he also knows that money has its insides and outside.
Brothers are brothers, an older brother loves and protects his younger brother, and the younger brother should also be considerate of his older brother.
He happily accepted the favor and pushed the banknotes and gold bars towards Shu Shu: "You keep it, keep track of the account, and look for opportunities to return it later. No one is rich..."
Naturally, this repayment is not a direct repayment of money, but a return of gifts.
Shu Shu put it away, feeling puzzled.
After being married to the ninth elder brother for more than a month, this was the first time she saw her eldest elder brother having any contact with this place.
Just before, the ninth elder brother had a heat stroke and was dying, but the elder brother just showed up and left after knowing that it was okay.
"Prince Zhi, behaves like an elder brother..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but praise.
Who is not short of money?
Although the eldest brother was granted the title of king of the county and appointed assistants, he also had a lot of extra expenses.
The annual salary is five thousand taels, which is one fifth.
Moreover, the money being given out today is a loan and a direct supplement to the little brother.
Brother Jiu thought of Whip's words again, shook his head and said: "The heart is good, but the bad thing is his mouth... He is a bit heartless. No wonder Khan Ama chose the title 'Zhi' for him. It is probably because of this...
…”
Shu Shu also learned Manchu in elementary school, so he naturally knew that "Zhi" in "Zhijun Wang" is actually the Chinese translation of the Manchu title.
The title of Prince Zhi in Manchu is "upright, outspoken". In order to fit this meaning, "Zhi" was chosen in Chinese.
Otherwise, if Kangxi really wanted to choose a title based on his son's temperament, the Manchu title that the fourth elder brother would be given when he was named a prince in the future would not be "amiable, harmonious", but "Yong" in Chinese.
Thinking of this, Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
Kangxi Preface to the Twenty-Fourth Son.
The sixth elder brother, the eleventh elder brother, the eighteenth elder brother, and the nineteenth elder brother are young and have no title.
There are eleven princes, including one Iron Hat.
There are five people from the county and four people including Beile and Beizi.
Brother Ninth is the only remaining Beizi who has never had his account banned in his life.
He himself is arrogant, but he still has the nerve to say that his eldest brother can’t speak?!
On the contrary, they are indeed blood brothers, passed down by the same blood.
"Why didn't Prince Cheng come over?"
Shu Shu put aside those heavy knowledge points and asked casually.
Life today is real, not just a few lines in a history book, and does not need to be limited to a frame.
Among the older brothers, the third brother has always been the most enthusiastic towards the couple.
He kept talking about the relationship between San Fujin and Shu Shu, but he didn't talk too much about this important brother-in-law relationship. He and the brothers Jiu Age should be closer than others.
Brother Jiu sneered: "Just open your mouth and listen... If you really want to say it, he is the most independent among the brothers. He has been a flatterer since he was a child. If he doesn't learn to speak sharply, he will flatter Khan Ama...
When I grow up, I will fawn over the prince and treat everyone else as face-saving..."
Shu Shu was very surprised: "I only heard that Prince Cheng was good at studying, but I didn't hear anything else..."
Brother Jiu glanced at the door and saw no one else, so he lowered his voice and said: "I follow the temperament of Empress Zhongcuigong. She is usually kind and speaks nicely... But she is a brave man who only pulls in and does not spit out... Why do you flatter the prince?
Is he diligent and diligent? In addition to his future title of prince, it is also because the prince is careless and pays a lot of filial piety outside. On weekdays, three melons and two dates are enough for him to be happy..."
Shu Shu smiled and listened to Brother Jiu's gossip, but in her heart she thought of what he just mentioned, "There are a lot of filial piety outside."
Has the “Princeling Party” Become?
Are they all thinking about "following the dragon's power"?
"Hasn't this kind of school been famous for a long time? How come I've never heard of it? No one mentioned it outside, and no one seems to have mentioned it in the palace..."
Shu Shu is excited and wants to learn from it.
Pixiu is as good as Pixiu.
Pixiu with glossy face is better.
Not to mention anything else, my brother's silver reward rules are enough to make people upset.
In the future, when she goes out to open a mansion and own her own territory, Shu Shu plans to re-establish the rules.
It’s not stingy, but it shouldn’t be the norm.
Once you get the errand salary, you should work hard.
When it's done, I'll be happy to reward you with silver, and then reward again.
It should not be like now, wrapped up in the so-called rules and precedents, and rewarded in one piece.
They don't feel grateful, they just feel that they deserve it according to the rules.
"How about we talk about the third thief?"
Brother Jiu's face was full of contempt: "If you are stingy, you will be stingy, and if you are stingy, you will be stingy. He just said that he is following the example of Khan Amma in acting frugally... On weekdays, he prepares birthday gifts and annual gifts for the elders by hand-copied scriptures, such as "Diamond Sutra" and "Diamond Sutra".
"The Medicine Master's Sutra" comes in turn; to give birthday gifts to brothers, or to copy books, it is replaced by "The Filial Piety Sutra". Do you think it will harm him? Just do this thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself. Who is willing to have a close friendship with him..."
Shu Shu felt weird listening to it.
Among all evils, sexual immorality is the first, and among all good deeds, filial piety is the first.
filial piety……
Whenever there are mistakes, one's conduct will be easily criticized by others.
What does it mean to give "The Classic of Filial Piety" to ordinary people?
Implying that brothers are not filial enough?
However, listening to the gossip of Brother Ninth, Shu Shu remembered a private comment and advice given by Ah Mou to several palace concubines before entering the palace.
Concubine Hui, the mother of the emperor's eldest son, the first in the harem, must be respected.
Concubine Yi, her own mother-in-law, has been favored for twenty years and must be respected.
The virtuous concubine was once a concubine alone and gave birth to many children. She must be respected.
Concubine Rong, who is the earliest to attend the bedchamber and has the most seniority. She once raised the prince, so she must be respected.
Why didn’t the ninth elder brother mention this when he mentioned the relationship between the third elder brother and the prince?
If this is really the case, it would be natural for the two of them to be close.
But looking at Concubine Rong's current silence, she does not have the grace and dignity of the Crown Prince's adoptive mother.
"Sir, I heard that Empress Zhongcuigong was ordered to raise the prince. Is it true?"
Shu Shu asked.
"Ah? Who said it? Why haven't you heard it?"
Brother Ninth was also curious: "How could such a statement be made? How could that empress be able to raise a child? Four of them had died in infancy, and even the third child had to be raised by the Minister of the Interior before he could survive..."
Shu Shu, however, believed in A Mou’s source of information.
It's really been too long.
The prince was born in the 13th year of Kangxi's reign and started studying at the age of six. The so-called care and support should be in the middle.
There was no Ninth Brother at that time.
It was already twenty years ago.
It’s normal that Brother Jiu has never heard of it.
After Brother Jiu asked the question, he thought about it for himself: "It's a bit weird to say so..."
"What did you remember?"
Shu Shu asked, but felt pity in her heart.
These taboo secret palace histories should not be written down.
Otherwise, she really wants to get a second little notebook.
As for notes in Pinyin or other characters...
Forget it.
They are all hidden dangers...
Brother Jiu rarely became serious: "Empress Zhongcuigong has the most seniority and has given birth six times. Even though four sons died in infancy, she still gave birth to a daughter and a son... In the 16th year, Khan Amma sealed the harem for the first time.
Among the seven concubines, Empress Zhongcuigong is in the fourth place, after Empress Yanxi Palace, and in front of our empress... But twenty years ago, Khan Amma granted the fourth concubine, and Empress Zhongcuigong was demoted to the last place, between our empress and Yonghe Palace.
After the empress... In the past few years, the empresses were in charge of palace affairs. The empress of Yanxi Palace and our empress were the main ones. The empress was in charge of the West Sixth Palace, and the empress of Yanxi Palace was in charge of the East Sixth Palace and Zhaoxiang... The empress of Yonghe Palace was in charge.
Taking care of the daily life of several princesses..."
At this point, the young couple looked at each other.
Concubine Rong is idle.
From being a beloved concubine who gave birth to one child a year at the earliest, to falling in rank and losing power, she has fallen out of favor.
It's just that Concubine Rong entered the palace early, and she was already in her thirties in the 20th year of Kangxi's reign.
In the eyes of the world, she is already an old woman at this age, and it is normal not to go to bed.
The concubine at the back was still young and tender, and no one regarded Concubine Rong as having fallen out of favor. After all, the concubine's position was here.
Thinking again about the Queen Mother's greetings, Shu Shu went there four times in total, and the Queen Mother only spoke to Concubine Rong once, unlike the other three concubines who basically had to talk this time.
"What happened in the past twenty years? It's probably because of the decline in sex and love..."
Brother Jiu really couldn't guess: "It shouldn't be a big deal, otherwise how could the third child have such dignity?"
Both of them mentioned the gossip for a while and put it down when they couldn't figure it out.
Until it got dark, there was no movement from Third Brother's side.
On the other hand, the eunuch next to the seventh elder brother came over and delivered five hundred taels of silver notes and sent a message on behalf of the seventh elder brother: "Our master has said that if the elder brother does not have enough, he will send someone back to Beijing to get it...
"
Brother Jiu was so flattered that he quickly waved his hand and said: "That's enough, that's enough..."
When the eunuch left, the ninth elder brother fell into a dream: "Are we taking advantage of the fifth brother? The seventh brother has always been on good terms with the fifth brother. Is this a good deal for the fifth brother? Or is it just a formality to give Khan
Amma see?”
Shu Shu said: "We are all brothers, how can there be any reason for one brother to take care of another brother? Qibele doesn't talk much, but from the way he behaves, he seems to have a cold-hearted and warm-hearted temperament... The youth is rough, the temperament is resolute, and he wants to
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be as good as we are today, and we should have more respect..."
Brother Ninth nodded slowly, and then gloated: "Everyone else is here, but the third child is not here. What do you think Ama Khan thinks of him? This is the older brother, and he is different in age from us... We are the same age.
The senior in class ten is only three years older than thirteen, and he is still very considerate... His brother has lost his friendship... I should tell him to buckle..."
Although the Eight Banners have entered the customs, some Manchu customs are still retained.
There is no such thing as step marriage...
However, it is common for older sons to be given priority and older brothers to take care of younger brothers...
The third elder brother ignored his younger brother who seemed to be in trouble and lost friendship.
Shu Shu listened and understood the point of Brother Jiu's laughter.
The third elder brother's hands are tight and he rarely gives out rewards. His interpersonal relationships are simple and the news is blocked.
Probably not aware of this afternoon's news at all.
Otherwise, even if it is just a pretense, it will still come.
Shu Shu was so embarrassed.
This is the so-called "butterfly effect"?!
Brother Ninth took someone to ask for a bribe, and actually tricked the unrelated Third Brother...
