Chapter 1337 Entrustment (wowling for monthly votes)
After finishing speaking, Brother Jiu noticed something was wrong and said, "What rank is your cousin-in-law and father-in-law now?"
Cao Shundao: "The chief of the sixth rank is a customs officer."
"That's not too low. I thought wrong before. I was drawn among the in-laws of the Li family. It turns out that it should be here. Your cousin should be the new Hangzhou Weaving..."
Brother Ninth said.
Li Xu's generation had many brothers and in-laws, most of whom were officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Cao family is a little thinner.
Cao Yin and Li Xu also have a first-come, first-served issue. Naturally, the Cao family is the main one.
It would not be surprising to choose someone from the Cao family's in-laws.
Cao Shun nodded and said, "This slave is also thinking the same thing. Master Jin also made similar guesses during the banquet. It's just that I have never seen my cousin. He is a bit dull and has the same temperament as my father.
"
Brother Jiu knew that Cao Shun's father was too honest and not a smooth person.
Otherwise, there would not have been a shortage of guards for more than twenty years without moving places.
Although he holds a military position, he is actually more like a scholar and is good at painting.
With Cao Yin's status, it is not difficult to provide his brother with a second-class bodyguard, or to move him to another place for promotion. However, if he did not take action, it was because Cao Quan himself had shortcomings.
Cao Shun grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and was aware of the undercurrents surging in the south of the Yangtze River. Now, in addition to being worried about the Jin family marrying him, his cousin was a suspected candidate.
That's why he came in a hurry and told Brother Jiu about the matter.
Others didn't know that there was something wrong with Hangzhou Zhizao Mansion, but he knew it.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "According to what you say, your cousin is a bit incapable of lifting someone?"
Cao Shun sighed and said, "It's okay to obey orders, and work conscientiously and diligently, otherwise I won't let you go. But the Jin family is surrounded by many people in Hangzhou, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it if my cousin goes there."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's right. If you don't have enough power, there will be someone above you who can. Just follow your orders. From now on, your uncle will be the leader of the three major weaving companies in Jiangnan."
Cao Shun also wanted to understand the reason, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's my slave who didn't think carefully."
Cao Shun grew up next to Cao Yin, so he naturally knew his uncle's abilities and loyalty to the emperor.
With the Jin family's experience, even if the emperor trusted his uncle, he would arrange for someone to monitor him, which would also be a good thing for the Cao family.
Brother Jiu said: "Since your father-in-law is on duty, he shouldn't spend much time in the capital, so does the wedding date have to be set as well?"
Cao Shun nodded and said, "Well, my mother asked someone to choose a date, which is the eighth day of February."
Today is the twenty-sixth day of the first lunar month, so there is less than half a month left.
Brother Jiu said: "Okay, I will go have a drink then."
Cao Shun thanked him.
He still had guests at home, so he left in a hurry after saying this.
At this moment, Shu Shu is also free here.
Now that it's February, the biggest thing is the "week-catching" of the three children.
The reason why the prince's palace held a grand banquet was also to rectify the names of several children.
Because of the triplets, there were no "three baths" and "full moon" events, and no outside guests were invited during the "hundred days".
Nowadays, when it comes to the triplets of the Ninth Prince, the public opinion is still not very good.
Even when "auspicious" is mentioned, it is mostly in a shady and strange way, and some people speculate that it is incomplete, so they have not been exposed to the public.
So unlucky.
We must let people see that the triplets are not only well-fed, but also well-fed.
Brother Jiu came in and said, "I know who New Hangzhou Weaving is. Zhang Baozhu should be back before the Dragon Boat Festival."
Cao Shun got married on the eighth day of the second lunar month, and Sun Wencheng went south after that, and Zhang Baozhen came back, which took almost three months.
Shu Shu thought that it was Cao Shun who was coming, so she knew it in her heart, but she said, "Didn't you say that Cao Shun is here? Is it someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I didn't come. It was dark under the lamp. I only looked for candidates among the fifth-grade doctors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, guessing which one was related to the Li family and the Cao family. In the end, I ended up with this one, Cao Yin's."
My cousin, Sun Wencheng, Cao Shun’s father-in-law, was previously only a sixth-rank principal."
Shu Shu poured him tea and said, "Are you a very capable person?"
Brother Jiu said: "From what Cao Shun means, he is a bit upright and honest. That's fine. There will be no traps."
Shu Shu didn't say anything, but she wanted the Sun family to return to its throne, which was a bit like a prequel to "A Dream of Red Mansions".
However, Cao Shun said that Sun Wencheng was honest and his evaluation should be accurate.
The Sun family does not play a significant role among the three major weaving companies, but Sun Wencheng started well and ended well, and retired due to old age.
Needless to say, Cao Yin lived a long life, and his successor son also died young. After his successor took over as weaver, he was accused of having his family confiscated.
Here, Li Xu was given a betrothal at a very young age, his citizenship was lost, and his whole family was a slave.
This Sun Wencheng can't be said to be a man of great wisdom and foolishness.
We were feeling mentally exhausted today, so the couple took a break early.
The next day, Brother Ninth resumed his duties at the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu here sent Nanny Xing to Sanbeile Mansion to deliver the message to see if there was time to receive guests.
Since Hongqing was injured, she, as her aunt and uncle, naturally wanted to visit her.
When Aunt Xing came back, Sanfujin's dowry came with her.
"Our Master Fujin felt the fetus when he saw my brother's injury yesterday. The imperial doctor ordered us to take good care of the fetus..."
Having said this, the nanny hesitated for a moment and said: "Our master sent the slave here just to ask Jiu Fujin for something. Baylor Mansion is in a mess now, and our Fujin is still in the same situation. Some of us can't take care of Da Gege. Fujin
I sent this old slave over to ask if I can ask you to help take care of Da Gege for a while."
It's a coincidence that San Fujin was pregnant with the fetus just now. Yesterday, he was unsettled and had fetal gas, and it was only a month and a half before he was diagnosed.
After hearing this, Shu Shu said with concern on her face: "Where is Mrs. Side? Last year, my third sister-in-law followed the northern tour. Didn't my little brother and little princess ask Mrs. Side to take care of me? I'm not trying to shirk this matter, but I'm here
I already have three children, and I need the help of my elders to take care of them, for fear of neglect."
The nanny said: "Mrs. Side is in the Spring and Autumn Period. She contracted paralysis in the spring and has to stay in bed for some time."
Shu Shu knows that children are precious and should be pampered the most.
Especially children from other families are even more difficult to take over.
But she thought of the flower tray that appeared when Da Gege was "catching Zhou", and Da Gege's fate of dying young.
Sanbeile Mansion is indeed not peaceful.
Even if three elder brothers died in a row, it was really a coincidence, but would their biological mother, Princess, think so?
I'm afraid all the resentment will be directed at Sanfujin.
There are cases where the fetal statue of Sanfujin is unstable and cannot be taken care of by the inner house.
On the contrary, Hongqing no longer lives in the inner house, and there are many people serving around her, so it is difficult to interfere.
Sanfujin is probably scared too.
When the sisters-in-law were together before, they always felt sad when they talked about Dafujin. They all knew that she had a short life because of the physical damage caused by giving birth to children too close together.
Here in Sanfujin, if you calculate this, four births in six years is quite frequent.
It is estimated that San Fujin knew his own body well, so he planned to devote himself to raising the baby.
Shu Shu finally nodded and said, "Then I'll ask someone to clean up the house, and I'll go see Sister-in-law tomorrow morning and bring Da Gege back."
The grandma said with gratitude on her face: "Thank you Jiu Fujin, thank you Jiu Fujin."
Shu Shu looked at the nanny, her heart moved, and said: "If I refuse here, will Fujin still ask you to go to other mansions to ask for help?"
The nanny paused and replied honestly: "Fu Jin asked me to come to you first. If it's not cheap here, go to Si Beile Mansion to ask for Si Fu Jin."
This is to be expected.
San Fujin and Si Fujin have been sisters-in-law for a long time. They lived next to each other before, and Si Fujin's behavior is also generous.
Shu Shu felt entangled in her heart.
Does this count as doing bad things with good intentions?
It won't delay the close relationship between Sanbeile Mansion and Sibeile Mansion, right?
It’s just that you’ve already agreed, so it’s not good to do it again.
Also, in the eyes of the world, her relationship with San Fujin is indeed more trustworthy.
Shu Shu serves tea to the guests.
Aunt Xing sent it out in person, and then came back and told Shu Shu about the situation in Sanbeile Mansion: "It's a mess. There is one princess who is doing the confinement period, and another one who is jumping up and down asking for the housekeeper, so we all went together."
Shu Shu thinks so, otherwise Sanfujin also has a strong temper and will not show weakness to his sisters-in-law, especially his cousin sister-in-law.
As for the one who was jumping up and down asking for housekeeping, it was probably none other than Tian Gege, whom they had all interacted with.
"Clean up the west wing of the main courtyard and assign two nannies from Fengsheng and Akdan..." Shu Shu made arrangements.
In summer, the west wing is not good because of the western sun.
But in this season, the western sun will make the house more comfortable to live in.
As for the main house, it is not suitable for placement.
After all, in addition to a one-year-old child, there are also nursing mothers and others to follow.
The east room is the inner study room, which is not suitable for outsiders to enter or exit.
Shu Shu planned to make it clear to San Fujin when she went there tomorrow that she should wear less breast milk.
She manages the main courtyard tightly and doesn't want to leave a bunch of people who don't know their roots...

House of Internal Affairs, Main Hall Yamen.
The ninth elder brother was bored and staring at each other with the twelfth elder brother.
The twelfth elder brother looked to the west. There were three rooms over there, which had been newly cleaned up a few days ago and were used as duty rooms for the new manager Jin Yiren.
Today, Brother Ninth came to the Yamen. He knew that Jin Yiren had been working at the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several days. However, because Brother Ninth, the chief official, had not come yet, and Jin Yiren had not clearly defined the scope of his responsibilities, he turned to the next few Yamen to look for his in-laws.
Gone to reminisce about old times.
Today, the ninth elder brother came over and just sent the official documents that needed to be processed by hand. The ninth elder brother directly sent them to Jin Yiren's check-in room.
The twelfth elder brother was about to ask what he was doing when there was movement at the door.
It's Jin Yiren, please meet me at the door.
Brother Jiu sat behind the desk and did not get up. He only raised his voice and said: "It's Manager Jin, come in, come in..."
Jin Yiren's face became a little stiff when he saw this big look.
Immediately, he warned himself in his heart that this was the prince's elder brother and his master, not the officials in the Jiangnan officialdom who needed to communicate with the Jin family, and there was no need to be polite to him.
Brother Ninth also has a reputation for being arrogant and arrogant, so this attitude is unusual.
It would be weird if you really saw him smiling.
Thinking of this, Jin Yiren's face became more respectful, and he came in and said: "I have seen the Ninth Master, please give my best wishes to the Ninth Master; I have met the Twelfth Master, please wish the Twelfth Master well."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "From now on we are all our own people, what are the heretics?"
After saying that, he ordered He Yuzhu to carry a chair for Jin Yiren and said: "I was negligent. I was in the garden a few days ago and was too lazy to come back. I forgot about you coming to take office. The errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are fine.
It’s trivial, with you here, I will be able to be at ease in the future.”
Jin Yiren sat down and glanced at the twelfth brother next to him.
This elder brother's visit to the Ministry of Internal Affairs is rarely mentioned by anyone.
On the 22nd day of the first lunar month, when all government offices in the capital opened their seals, Jin Yiren went to the Ministry of Personnel to complete the formalities and was officially promoted to the third rank of the Internal Affairs Bureau.
In the past few days, he has been patrolling the main yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the yamen below.
The Jin family has been out of Beijing for too long.
Although there are some old relatives by marriage in the House of Internal Affairs, there are not many who have come and gone in the past.
Otherwise, in the thirty-eighth year, when both the Cao family and the Li family have children chosen to be the prince's companions, the Jin family would not have no connections and would have no choice but to ring the bell at the ninth elder brother.
What did he see?
Brother Ninth has not been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for several days, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is operating normally.
All official documents were approved by the prince, the twelfth prince.
Jin Yiren was shocked and confused.
There is no shortage of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so why does the emperor rush to promote himself as general manager?
He couldn't figure out the reason and became more honest.
Seeing Brother Jiu like this today, his heart, which had been hanging for several days, actually calmed down a little...
