Chapter 1,292 Issues left over from history (wowling for monthly votes)
The sisters in law were talking, and there was movement in the yard next to them.
Qifu Jinnahan said: "Didn't you say that the fourth house is empty? Is it the Fourteenth Brother who made a fuss about moving here?"
The thirteenth elder brother has grown up, and there are young sisters-in-law here. If it is inconvenient, they probably won't move here.
The fourteenth elder brother is still childish and behaves wantonly.
As for Sanfujin and Sifujin, they are of the same age, and if they have company, they will not abandon the family and insist on moving here.
Shu Shu looked at Xiaotang and ordered: "Go and see who has moved here."
Xiaotang responded and went down to check.
Wu Fujin's heart was moved. Apart from the prince's elder brother, there was another person who could be favored to stay in his place so that he could pay his respects to the Empress Dowager nearby.
She asked: "Is it possible that the princess is here?"
Shu Shu and Qi Fujin looked at each other.
It's really possible.
The princess was born as a bride in September last year, and it has been less than four months since her birth.
After a New Year in the meantime, she is no longer a new wife, and it is convenient to go out.
"Most likely, no one else is qualified to live here." Qi Fujin said quickly.
Although this place is outside the imperial garden, it is still under the jurisdiction of the palace. The temporary residence of the prince, emperor and grandson is not a place where outsiders can stay casually.
Shu Shu also thinks this is possible.
When Kangxi came to Haidian on behalf of the Empress Dowager, he originally wanted to fulfill his filial piety. He placed the Empress Dowager's most beloved granddaughter next to her, so that grandparents and grandchildren could see each other sooner or later, which was also a sign of filial piety.
While the grandmothers were talking, there was movement outside. It was Xiaotang who was back.
Yesterday morning, my sister-in-law had already seen her during the New Year celebrations at Ningshou Palace, but there were hundreds of people there, it was a mess, and they didn't talk much.
Wu Fujin stood up and gave up his seat, and everyone sat down again to talk.
Now everyone comes together to talk about the draft.
Qi Fujin asked: "Have those Tong family members left?"
Jiu Gege shook his head and said: "The weather is cold and the road is difficult. My husband-in-law has said that we will arrange for someone to take them back to Shengjing when it gets warmer."
These girls from the Tong clan were arranged by Tong Guowei to come to Beijing. Later, when Longkodo returned to Beijing, he took care of them.
Then Tong Guowei was driven into Liubianqiang, Longkodo disappeared, and no one paid attention to these people.
However, Kangxi became angry and ordered them to be exempted from the draft, leaving them with no reason to continue in the capital.
The leader of the clan, Orundai, was supposed to be concerned about this matter and asked someone to place a few girls there, but he didn't get along with Tong Guowei, his uncle, and ignored these people.
Bu Xi was still kind-hearted. When he saw a few people living alone in the capital, he asked someone to comfort them and promised to send them back to Shengjing after the New Year.
The main reason is that my surname is Tong. If someone bullies me, it will be the Tong family’s shame.
Qi Fujin shook his head and said: "Why bother? There are two to three thousand people in each draft, and only a dozen or twenty can make it to stay in the palace. Most of them are just going through the motions. There are many people with the surname Tong in the capital, and they can't get their turn anywhere. Are you following their beautiful girl from out of town?"
Several Fujin players have gone through the draft, and I feel frustrated when I think of the scene at that time.
I won’t talk about the first round, it’s just a physical examination.
In the second round, according to the rules, the emperor and empress personally selected the books.
However, the emperor is busy with government affairs and has long stopped making selections himself. Most of the selections are made by the palace concubines.
There are several beautiful women in a row, and it takes a few seconds to stand.
Then there is the matter of leaving the mark and being elected to the palace, or keeping the mark and staying in the palace.
This is why Shu Shu passed the draft, but when he saw the fourth concubine, it was the same as the first time he saw her.
That's because you follow the rules and don't look at the palace concubine's face.
As Qi Fujin said, the Eight Banners Draft is held every three years, and each time there are two to three thousand women participating in the draft. However, the ones who actually end up being accused of marriage or entering the palace are the ten or twenty people who stayed in the palace.
One percent.
Therefore, in this draft, the selection has always been based on family background, and is used to tie the marriage between the prince and the nearby clan.
Like He Bi, who came from a middle-class family and was named directly for her beauty, they were almost the only ones in the Kangxi Dynasty.
Shu Shu listened to the two people talking and glanced at Qi Fujin.
There is a girl from Qi Fu Jin who is also one of the batch of girls participating in the talent show.
But there should be no need to worry, Qifu Jin usually goes to Yanxi Palace to pay his respects, and he should have begged Concubine Hui.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege both just arrived today, and there was still chaos in the yard. Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin left first after saying a word.
Shu Shu personally sent it outside.
Jiu Gege followed him out, but was not in a hurry to return to the Fourth House.
After watching the two sisters-in-law leave, she took Shu Shu's hand and whispered: "I am encountering something difficult right now, and I want to ask Sister-in-law Ninth."
Shu Shu said: "What about heretics? Is there anything that can't be said?"
There was no place to talk outside, so the aunt and sister returned to the main room in the courtyard.
After asking Xiaotang to serve tea again, and then sending her off, Shu Shu said, "What's the matter? But someone in the Tong family is looking after them, and they don't respect the princess?"
Jiu Gege frowned, smiled bitterly, and said: "If that's the case, I won't have anything to worry about. I belong to the princess's house, and there have been some slanderous remarks about my father-in-law recently."
"What's the reason?" Shu Shu asked.
She had a good impression of Bu Xi. He looked honest and honest, maybe a little disguised, but he was obviously a smart person.
Since you are a smart person, you will not leave your horse behind.
This is why Jiugege is definitely slanderous.
Jiu Gege breathed out and said: "When I got married, I was given a dowry of ten households, ten maids, and two farm heads. Most of the properties outside were taken over by the dowry. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, account books were sent from everywhere. I just looked at them.
How can I tell whether this is good or bad? I thought about asking someone to take a look, but the people around me were connected to the people outside and couldn't see anything. I happened to see that my brother-in-law had an experienced and capable manager, so I asked him to
He went to check..."
Shu Shu was speechless.
It is really the consistent style of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who is accustomed to treating the master's property as his own.
As a result, Jiugegeshen made a move and let outsiders patrol the store. This set a precedent, and it would be difficult to trick the princess in the future.
He breathed out a sigh of relief and said: "There is nothing new under the sun. Nowadays, people are trying to drive a wedge between their masters just for the sake of power and wealth. Aunt Liu from our second institute did the same thing back then..."
Jiu Gege said helplessly: "Fortunately, my sister-in-law warned me before. Otherwise, if I really believe that they are loyal, I'm afraid I will be fooled by them in the future."
Shu Shu said: "Aunt Lin, don't you have more restraints?"
She is familiar with Jiu Gege and knows everyone around Jiu Gege.
Aunt Lin is the nanny of Jiu Gege. She has a relatively upright temperament. She was personally selected by the Queen Mother for Jiu Gege.
Jiuge Ge said with worry on his face: "Mommy got cold a few years ago and moved out of the Princess Mansion to recuperate."
After hearing this, Shu Shu thought of something else and said, "Nanny Lin is getting older and she has been taking care of the princess closely for many years. How could she catch the cold?"
Jiuge was extremely intelligent and immediately understood the meaning of Shu Shu's words, and his eyes widened.
Shu Shu muttered: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I don't know what's going on in the princess's mansion, so I can't say anything random. Let's just talk about the second house. I just got married and it was a mess. There were slaves who were disobedient and greedy for money.
My lord, it was sorted out later, and everything was fine, but I didn’t use all the dowry people. It happened that the palace assigned me four maids, and Master Jiu also assigned two eunuchs to run errands for me..."
Three pillars are the most stable.
Although Li Yin and Zhou Song make little appearances here, they are indispensable.
The former is following Manager Cui and working as a trainee manager.
The latter was someone who ran errands by her side, and was also very clever at asking for information when he was in the palace.
Here in Jiugege, even if her dowry is to be punished, the property cannot be entrusted to the Tong family.
People's hearts are changeable.
Greed is raised little by little.
She had to prevent her dowry from working together to trick her, and she also had to prevent the Tong family from deceiving her.
Jiu Gege was thoughtful after listening to Shu Shu's words.
Shu Shu knew that she was smart, so she stopped nagging her.

Changchun Garden, dock.
"Quack, quack, quack..."
As soon as the manager of Changchun Garden came in, Brother Jiu was stunned, and then the noise made his brain hurt.
As far as the eye can see, they are all ducks.
Ducks are so delicious. There are hundreds of ducks here, and the taste is amazing.
"What's going on? Do you raise ducks here?"
Brother Jiu hurriedly exited to take a look. He looked at the manager in disbelief and said, "Next door is Wuyizhai. Do you want me to listen to the ducks quacking every day?"
The little brothers who went to study followed to Changchun Garden and studied in Wuyizhai.
Classes officially started on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The manager of Changchun Garden glanced at Brother Jiu, and said with great resentment, "Master Jiu, this is the duck you sent to the garden last summer. It should have been sent to the garden dining room after eating tadpoles and mosquitoes. Later, the emperor found out that it was
Master Jiu gave it to me, so I told him to keep it and not to kill it."
Raising ducks in winter takes a lot of effort.
I ate more than a dozen bags of millet and two carts of cabbage.
Brother Nine is stuck.
I didn't expect it to have its own relationship.
He really didn't know about this.
Khan Ama, this is "Love House and Crow"?
He cleared his throat and said: "Since Khan Amma ordered it, what are you talking about? In addition to the dock, there are many empty yards. Just catch these ducks and move them to another place. It will be warmer than the dock by then, and maybe even the duck eggs will be gone."
Got off..."
At this point, he felt something was wrong and said: "Where are the peacocks and cranes in the garden? Where are they kept? Can't we just put the ducks together with them?"
The manager pointed at the ducks in front of him and said: "They are kept in the bird park next to the horse farm, but there are more than 400 of them here, and there is not such a big place over there..."
Brother Jiu said: "Okay, let's just choose a place in the garden. It's far away from Qingxi Bookstore and far away from Wuyizhai."
The manager of Changchun Garden received the order and said: "The servant will ask someone to move over today."
Brother Jiu looked at him and said, "It's such a trivial matter, but you still invited me to come over and make up your mind?"
The manager was sweating on his forehead and said: "Master Jiu, last year I was too busy sweeping and spraying these ducks."
This thing is dirty and has a strong smell, so it is really not suitable to be kept in the garden.
Brother Jiu didn't make things difficult for him, and said: "You're really stupid. Keep it first. When the weather gets warm in February and the lake thaws, you pick out the bright-colored ones and keep about twenty or thirty of them, and give the rest away."
Go to the garden and the north garden, and then send some to the bird garden at the racecourse, so that you can replace the ones in the garden here if they die..."
