"What are people saying about me?" Shu Shu asked curiously.
She knows how to be frightened by people's words, so she acts thoughtfully.
But if someone really gossiped, she wouldn't take it too seriously.
Everyone talks about others behind their backs, and everyone is talked about behind their backs.
All the troubles are caused by thinking too much and not thinking, just stay calm.
Brother Jiu said: "Everyone knows that you have money. The silver house, restaurant and pastry shop where you are dowry are all doing well. Some of you say sarcastic things, and most of them are just envious..."
This is the difference between superiority and inferiority.
You can praise loudly, but no one dares to say slander to your face. At most, you can just say a few sarcastic words in secret.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said: "Although I can't say that we will come, but if it's a good thing, I can't condone it like this. Otherwise, it will ruin the reputation, just like my father. There was a rumor outside before.
He's like a playboy, and he didn't even mention that I'm good at magic and can speak foreign languages..."
Brother Jiu asked: "Then how to control it?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "According to the law, you don't have to end up. How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? To slander and scold the prince's consort, he must be a civil servant of the third rank or above, a military officer of the second rank or above, a hundred sticks, and the shackles will be released in one month.
"The Laws of the Qing Dynasty clearly states that as long as two facts are revealed, it will alert the world and no one will dare to spread rumors and cause trouble."
Killing chickens to scare monkeys is the most effective way.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I'll take note of it. I'll look for an opportunity to talk to Khan Ama later. If I don't care, the atmosphere in this capital will be ruined."
Although evil fire cannot easily burn them, they still have to be on the safe side because they have many friends and offend many.
Both husband and wife have the same temperament and cherish their own bodies.
After several days of trial, the eight nannies sent from outside were all qualified.
Those who are selected to serve as cross-border errands also represent the dignity of each family. If they had not been thoroughly investigated, they would not be pushed forward.
Shu Shu followed the example of the royal nanny and asked people to prepare thirty-six taels of silver and cloth, and rewarded them one by one.
Of the three nannies selected previously, only the one around Ni Guzhu who met all the requirements was retained. The other two, Shu Shu, did not leave directly, but called the main room to meet once.
The nanny assigned to Fengsheng was a Manchurian flag-coated woman, twenty-two years old, with straight eyebrows, a straight posture, and a graceful look.
Shu Shu directly answered her in Manchu, and the nanny also answered fluently. Look at this, she also speaks Manchu at home.
These coats are now in the name of Ninth Prince, and it is honorable and dignified to work as a servant in the government.
It's a shame to clear it out directly.
First, she nodded and asked people to come in, feeling quite satisfied.
It just so happened that the mansion needed to replenish its population, so Shu Shu had other plans.
She asked again: "In addition to speaking Manchu, do you know Manchu?"
The nanny nodded and shook her head and said: "I have learned New Manchu, but I haven't learned it yet. I have almost forgotten it. I remember some Chinese characters."
Shu Shu said: "Now the eldest brother has enough nurses around him. Your child is still young. It's up to you whether you want to work as a wet nurse. You just have to continue to be an errand. From now on, you will no longer be a wet nurse. You will be a nanny beside your eldest brother."
The annual stipend given previously will be kept without any need to return it. After one year, it will be paid according to the nanny’s monthly schedule..."
The nanny hurriedly said: "I am willing to continue working as an errand."
Speaking of which, the nanny's annual salary is also twenty-four taels of silver and twenty-four hu of rice, but she has no clothing materials and no reward of another twelve taels of silver.
But as long as I have errands, can I still lose the twelve taels of silver?
It has been more than a year since Ninth Prince opened his house, and the behavior of the two masters can be seen in their underpinnings.
Not a stingy person.
Those who work hard at errands will not suffer; those who try to do errands in vain will not get better either.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then let's do it. Your child is young, so I'll let you take annual leave in advance, and you'll be back on duty after the new year..."
Since you are a nanny, you don’t have to worry about this month and a half.
Also, it takes time for a woman to breastfeed again.
After talking to this person, Shu Shu looked at the nanny assigned to Akdan. She was twenty years old, came from a left-collar background, and wore slanted clothes.
Compared with the previous nanny, this one obviously has a different style, with a bit of elegance.
Elegant...
Shu Shu asked directly: "Are you literate? Can you recognize three hundred thousand?"
The nanny nodded and said, "I am literate and I know everything."
Shu Shu thought of this nanny's origin. Her natal family was from Daxing, and she married into a Baoyi family to be the daughter-in-law of the youngest son.
He has learned literacy and enlightenment books. He doesn't look like he comes from a poor family. He probably comes from a farming and reading background.
Otherwise, she would not be a wife.
In recent years, Baoyi's family has been prosperous and wealthy, and it has become a common practice to take women from the common people as concubines.
Shu Shu said: "Brother and Gege are about to learn how to talk, and they need a nanny around them. Do you think you should come in as an errand, or take a break and go back to take care of the children?"
This nanny's choice is not surprising, and she is also willing to work as an errand in the house.
Shu Shu, like the previous one, also gave this person a holiday and asked her to come back as an errand after the new year.
When the two of them went out, Bai Guo said from the side: "Fu Jin, aren't the nannies for the young masters full?"
Fengsheng brother and sister each have four nannies, who are divided into two shifts, two in one shift.
Shu Shu said: "I'll have to choose again later."
Teaching through words and deeds, the nanny is a child’s first teacher in life.
So I have to choose again.
Those who use bad words cannot be detained, and those who are sick at home cannot be detained.
Once the nanny has chosen someone, it’s time to say thank you.
Shu Shu personally visited both Sanbeile Mansion and Wubeile Mansion.
Sanbeile Mansion sent a cart of leather goods and two baskets of Dongzi vegetables; Wubeile Mansion could not send only Dongzi vegetables, so it also sent a cart of leather goods.
This can be put down, used by yourself or given to others, it is beneficial.
Satisfied, San Fujin took the household registration books of those two families and wanted to give the person directly to Shu Shu.
This is also the rule.
It's not like you have to work as an errand outside the house and you have to work as an errand inside the house. It's not good to have two masters.
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "There is no need to go through such trouble. I plan to wait until Fengsheng and the others are three years old and let the nanny out, so that I won't have to rely on my brother to nurse him in the future, which will cause a lot of waste..."
Sanfujin was stunned when he heard this and said: "Isn't this against the current rules?"
Because the royal family respects wet nurses, the status of royal wet nurses has also risen, far above that of royal nannies.
For example, the wet nurses of the princes basically still stay by the prince's side after weaning, acting as nannies.
When the princess got married, her wet nurse accompanied her directly.
Not only the royal family, but also noble families.
Sanfujin's wet nurse was also her dowry member.
The world is like this, Shu Shu can't just say that he can't tolerate it, so he said: "After a fight, the relationship is different. I will serve the young master and discipline him ruthlessly. When the time comes, I will spoil the young master by my side and rely on my elders to show off. This is not a good thing."
Son, let’s not go too far, let’s just say that Aunt Liu from our second institute and Auntie from Bafujin are all lessons learned from the past..."
After Sanfujin heard this, he stopped changing his mouth.
When we arrived at Wufujin, Wufujin didn't mention the transfer of population. It was probably because the fifth elder brother couldn't think of it.
Here in Shifujin, the two sisters go in and out together when they say hello, so there is no need to say thank you.
But we still have to do it in a formal way, otherwise, on the surface, there will be a separation between the near and far, and the relationship will be hurt.
It's just that the Tenth Prince's Mansion receives gifts from Aba Haibu every year, and there is no shortage of leather. Shu Shu replaced it with a gilt dressing box inlaid with eight treasures, with a whole mirror inlaid in it, and a set of ivory combs.
A set of sandalwood combs.
Shi Fujin’s hair is thick and well-maintained. He has the habit of combing his hair a hundred times in the morning and evening. It’s a good idea to give him this.
In this way, the matter of choosing a nipple is finally over.
But in the eyes of others, he thinks too much.
In the Yuqing Palace, the prince got the news and found out that the third elder brother had not transferred the household registrations of the two wrapped nannies to the ninth elder brother.
He couldn't help but frown.
The Ninth Prince's Mansion is short of people. It's reasonable to say that the Tenth Prince and the Fifth Prince can give them away, but can the Third Prince give them away?
Although on the surface, the third elder brother and the ninth elder brother seemed to have cleared up their old feud, in fact, there were many grievances between the two.
The third elder brother lost his title of prince because of the ninth elder brother.
The ninth elder brother was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the first time, and the third elder brother took advantage of the situation and robbed him.
What does Third Brother want to do?
To embed one of his own people into the prince's mansion so blatantly.
The ninth elder brother and his wife could not think of any taboos when they were young, and the third elder brother could not think of it either?
Thinking that the number of times the third elder brother went to Yuqing Palace to pay his respects in the past six months was getting less and less, the prince ordered his subordinates: "Keep watching Sanbeile and see what he wants to do."
We have grown up together since childhood, and no one knows who is who.
Compared with the reckless elder brother, the third elder brother is also someone to be wary of.
Khan Ama was pitiful towards the weak. Not only would Concubine Rong's fault not be directed at the third elder brother, but he might even be a bit biased.
That was intolerable to the prince.
He was used to the fight between the eldest son and the prince, but he didn't want to have another fight between the third son and the prince.
If that really happens, the situation will be messed up, and the brothers down there will be restless.
We must suppress the third elder brother, and also warn the princes below, except for the eldest elder brother who has room to speak due to his status as the eldest son, should everyone else stand aside and not get closer...
*
The Eighth Prince is feeling blocked in his heart.
Living next to each other, Si Brother was not at home, so Si Fujin went there in person; but here in Babeizi Mansion, Ba Fujin himself did not show up, nor did he send anyone to deliver news to him.
By the time it became known that the Ninth Prince's Mansion was short of a nanny, the matter had been settled.
All the princes who opened the mansion moved, but he was the only one who didn't move. What do others think?
What do you think of this called Khan Amma?
When he returned home from his foreign residence, he was speechless when he saw Ba Fujin.
Ba Fujin put down the mirror and looked at Ba Age, with a calm and calm look on his face.
The eighth prince took a breath and said, "Even if you don't get close to other people, you should still follow the crowd."
Living next to each other and paying no attention to each other is not the behavior of brothers and sisters.
Ba Fujin frowned slightly and said, "But if I don't have that kind of affection, I would give it away and they wouldn't dare to accept it."
The eighth elder brother was also helpless and said: "The fourth sister-in-law and the seventh sister-in-law didn't give them away, they were just going through the motions."
Bafujin didn't talk to him anymore, he just lowered his eyes and said: "I understand, I will go through the motions from now on..."
