Chapter 130 Green Leaves (Third update, please vote for me)
Brother Ninth has no title, but wears the title of Prince Long.
On an azure background, there are four groups of five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on the front, one on each shoulder, one on the front and one on the front, with five-color clouds in between.
Shu Shu personally tied a gold belt for him and a gold vase purse with gold thread on a black background.
Looking down at the golden belt, Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh: "What's the use of fighting against this rich man?"
Shu Shu responded with a smile: "Didn't I say before that the Mongolian princes wear all their wealth, so we can't do anything worse to make the imperial court look grand... We can't live in Beijing and live as richly as on the grassland..."
As she spoke, she took out two more golden purses. One had the word "Fu" spelled out with coral beads, and the other had a tiger's head embroidered with red agate beads.
"This is for the tenth and thirteenth brothers..."
Shu Shu handed it to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu frowned and took the answer. He was about to say something when he saw the stitches in the purse clearly and changed his words: "That girl of yours who combs her hair is pretty good and she is also good at needlework... I heard that the Great Lama Hutuktu has been here these two days.
When I come to court, I will find an opportunity and ask him for two strings of consecration items for you..."
Shu Shu quickly said: "No, no, no, these things about faith are basically 'if you believe, you will have it, if you don't believe it, there will be nothing'. Although I have read both Buddhist and Taoist books, I am not a disciple of either religion. If I don't believe in these..."
The current situation is not one of the four great lamas of later generations, but only two great lamas.
The two are masters and apprentices.
The teacher was in Tibet and was conferred the title of Grand Lama in the sixth year of Shunzhi.
The disciple was in Khalkha, and in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he was conferred the title of Grand Lama. It was this Great Lama Hutuktu.
This great lama was originally a Mongolian prince, the son of Princess Tushetu Khan, and was recognized as the reincarnation of the Living Buddha.
Because all people in Mongolia believe in the Yellow religion, the status of the great lama is extremely high.
Even though the ninth elder brother is the prince's elder brother, he still owes favors when asking for things. Shu Shu doesn't think it's necessary.
Brother Jiu was surprised and said: "You don't believe this, but you still spend the whole day saying 'good luck, wealth, longevity and joy'..." He then pointed to the embroidered patterns on her flag dress: "There are also cranes and pine patterns on her clothes.
, more divine than that little old lady..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but slap him: "This is a beautiful vision, there is nothing divine or not..."
"What about those scriptures that were copied...were they copied in vain?"
Brother Jiu still felt that her behavior was very contradictory: "If you don't believe this, why are you still reading these all day long?"
"Very interesting and informative..."
Shu Shu said sincerely.
I read a lot of books in my previous life, but I didn’t dabble in Buddhist and Taoist classics at all.
Starting from the "Book of Changes" in this life, although I read it in a foggy way and couldn't understand the profound meaning, I still feel that I have gained a lot of knowledge.
A mysterious and interesting field.
Both religions have the intention of admonishing the world, and there are many truths in them.
"Why can't we just eat, drink, and have fun? Are you tired from studying this and that all day long? If one day you really believe it, go astray, and talk to me about cause and effect all day long, I won't be able to bear it..."
When Brother Jiu said this, he thought about it carefully and advised: "If you are really leisurely and want to kill time, you should think about making money... I see that you can get started faster, you don't have to worry so much, and you don't know how to make money."
Going astray..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but pinch Brother Jiu: "What did Yehun say? You don't even know what kind of land this is?"
All Mongolian people believe in religion, and the Queen Mother, who was born in Mongolia, is no exception.
As a result, all the ladies in the palace made offerings to the Buddha.
Brother Jiu shut up and remained silent.
Seeing that he was obviously tired of studying, Shu Shu left the Shang Study Room and began to fly. He asked curiously: "Besides foreign literature, what else do you like?"
Brother Jiu looked a little proud: "I have occasionally dabbled in Mongolian and Tibetan... The great lama has been stationed in the capital for half of the past few years. I have seen him a few times. Apart from anything else, he speaks with him in Tibetan.
It’s okay for followers to answer questions…”
Although the great lama was born in Khalkha, he studied Buddhism and received initiation in Tibet, and most of his followers were monks from Tibet.
Shu Shu's face revealed a look of admiration: "I'm so awesome. I've never seen anyone smarter than me..."
Italian, French, plus Tibetan, Mongolian, Manchu and Chinese, these are six languages.
Even if it is true as Brother Jiu said, it is quite impressive to be able to communicate without any barriers if you occasionally dabble in it.
Brother Jiu's face was proud and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Shu Shu remembered something.
All men need to be admired. Even if they are useless, they still want you to admire his smoking posture.
There are still many shining points that can be found in Ninth Brother.
Shu Shu felt that she could learn to praise the party and be sweeter in the future.
Brother Jiu was still not satisfied with Shu Shu’s jewelry: “If you design it carefully, it won’t be so heavy and uncomfortable to hang on your neck...”
Shu Shu saw the glass hand mirror on the dressing table and remembered the royal glass workshop built the year before last.
"Sir, can the glass workshop make glass mirrors?"
Shu Shu was a little curious.
Even Western-style table clocks were copied by the Imperial Manufacturing Office.
Then this glass mirror should be about the same, right?
Brother Jiu shook his head: "They can only make wire-wrapped glass there, but they can't make such a transparent one... These silver mirrors were all brought by missionaries from the West..."
Shu Shu felt pity.
But she had no intention of interfering. Glass making has been around since ancient times.
The royal family even has a glass shop, so there is no shortage of methods.
However, due to current problems with fuel and purification, it is rarely possible to burn completely transparent glass.
As for Ninth Brother, I don’t know if he will be interested.
Shu Shu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
Brother Jiu took the initiative to mention: "Actually, in addition to the Lifan Academy, I originally wanted to go to the Ministry of Industry and the Manufacturing Warehouse... When I was a child, I read story books and thought Zhuge Kongming's 'Trojan Horse and Flooding Ox' was very interesting.
Give it a try, it will definitely be fun..."
"Then the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."
Although Shu Shu didn't feel bad that Brother Jiu had handed over his errand, he still had a beautiful vision of going to Jiangnan.
"Lao Qi doesn't have any errands to do right now..."
Brother Ninth said: "Let's see what Khan Amma arranges. Anyway, it's all in vain for us to think about it. In the end, it is his old man who makes the decision."
The two of them couldn't come out.
Wu Fujin, Qi Fujin, Tenth Prince, and Thirteenth Prince are all waiting outside.
It's just not easy to come over and urge me.
Seeing that he would be delayed if he didn't set off, the tenth prince kicked He Yuzhu.
Only then did He Yuzhu bite the bullet and reported through the door: "Master, Fujin, it's almost time..."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu came out hand in hand and saw several people standing in the yard.
Everyone's eyes fell on the hands of the two men.
Brother Jiu coughed lightly and helped Shu Shu down the steps.
Shu Shu rarely wears such high flag shoes, and she is not used to them.
Walnut and Xiaoyu changed their clothes, wearing the same blue palace gown, and came forward to help Shushu.
Shu Shu looked at Wu Fu Jin and Qi Fu Jin. They were similar to her, wearing full sets of jewelry, wearing flag shoes with flower pot bottoms, and accompanied by palace maids.
Seeing Brother Thirteen stealing glances at Shu Shu, Brother Nine frowned and dropped the purse in his hand.
However, the tenth brother was sharp-eyed and came forward directly: "What is this?"
Brother Thirteen also saw it, and his eyes fell directly on the little tiger's purse.
"Sister-in-law Jiu prepared it!"
The thirteenth brother smiled happily.
The 10th prince immediately took out the lucky wallet: "Then this is mine..."
Brother Ten immediately collected his purse, put on this one, and said to Shu Shu: "Thank you, sister-in-law, it's so beautiful..."
Brother Thirteen also changed into it and thanked Shu Shu.
Shu Shu waved her hand: "You're welcome, you guys should go quickly, there won't be any delay ahead..."
At the formal banquet, men and women are naturally separated, not in the same place.
It was indeed late, and the brothers left in a hurry.
The remaining three sisters-in-law held the girl's hand and walked to the banquet.
Qi Fujin smiled and said: "Golden purse, what do you think? But the style is really impressive. I guess these Mongolian princes will regard it as a fashion in the capital, and they may follow the trend of gold purse in the future..."
Shu Shu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and lowered her voice and said: "Our father is the only one wearing gold and jade. I'm afraid he won't be able to wipe his face... There are two younger ones accompanying him to save him from being embarrassed..."
"Ha ha……"
Qi Fujin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You are so thoughtful... If a room full of people only stared at me, I wouldn't be able to look away..."
The banquet hall for the female family members is located in the back hall of the princess mansion.
It's not far from where a few people live, and it only takes half a cup of tea to get there.
There was a roomful of people sitting in the room.
Except for the female retinue of the entourage, most of them were women in Mongolian costumes, and the golden light shone in front of their eyes.
The sisters-in-law came late.
Wu Fujin, the leader, met the Queen Mother and apologized: "Royal Grandmother, we were delayed in dressing up..."
He speaks Mongolian with a Horqin accent.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, then looked at Shu Shu and Qi Fujin, and saw that they were all dressed up brightly. She nodded with satisfaction, called Wu Fujin to come closer, took her hand, and said to everyone: "My granddaughter-in-law,
With good looks and good temperament, our fifth brother is lucky..."
All the Mongolian princes and women, except Princess Duanjing and the next one, an old woman in her sixties, all stood up and saw the three princes Fujin.
The three of them followed the princess's introduction and met Fujin and his eldest daughter.
Wu Fujin was the first to answer, while Shu Shu and Qi Fujin followed beside them, bowing and smiling.
Wu Fujin was specially introduced by the Empress Dowager. He was so elegant and well-dressed, and could communicate fluently in Mongolian. He was immediately loved by several Mongolian Fujins.
If you give a compliment, it's as if you don't need any money and pour it out.
The beautiful girl given by the immortal God.
The eyes are as bright as agate.
The ornaments shine like stars.
The way they expressed their love was also very straightforward. They took off the necklaces, bracelets, etc. and put them on Wu Fujin.
No matter how calm and composed Wu Fujin was, his face flushed with praise, and he was helpless when he saw the gold and silver in his eyes. He looked at Yi Fei as if asking for help.
Yifei smiled, obviously very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's performance, but she had no intention of resolving the situation.
Wufujin had no choice but to look at the Queen Mother again.
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Take it, take it, we are all relatives, not others..."
Concubine Yi sat under the Queen Mother, looking at the scene in front of her with a smile, and glanced at Shu Shu who was standing beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Seeing her honest and well-behaved appearance, with nothing out of the ordinary, Yifei's smile became more genuine.
