Chapter 148: Contribution (Third update, please vote for me)
Here at Qifujin, we also received four similar pieces of jewelry.
She always loved fine clothes and jewelry, but this time she couldn't be happy. She came over and muttered to Shu Shudi: "I haven't given you this Baotou yet. I feel guilty for accepting this reward... Sister-in-law Wu is busy these days, so you can't
There is no idle time, you all have merit, what have I done..."
Shu Shu smiled and listened to Di Gu, thinking more in her heart.
The Queen Mother is a straight-tempered person.
She wants to dress up as Prince Fujin, literally.
She said that when they dress up, they don't want to be looked down upon, and that's really what they're worried about.
It's different from how Concubine Yi prepared jewelry for them before.
The ones given by the Empress Dowager were the ones commonly seen in the capital, which looked exquisite and luxurious. They were not the kind of large pieces of gold jewelry or inlaid with large gemstones that the Mongolian Fujins liked.
These jewelry are not to intimidate Mongolian Fujin and compete with them for wealth.
But does anyone dare to despise Prince Fujin?
Princess Heshuo Duanmin...
This one is well-known as the "Divine Concubine".
Not only did he ignore his younger brother who inherited the title of Prince Heshuo, he was also very picky and disrespectful towards his younger brother, Emperor Kangxi.
According to the princess's theory, among the current royal family, no one except the prince could catch her eye.
After all, the rest of the family are all concubines.
Although the Queen Mother is her biological aunt and adoptive mother, she should also be aware of the princess's problems and have planned them in advance.
Shu Shu is so embarrassed.
Seeing that she remained silent, Qi Fujin asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"
Shu Shu thought about it and said: "The eldest princess is quite famous in the capital. I heard that she treats her concubine Prince Jian as a servant..."
The princess was brought to Mongolia in the ninth year of Kangxi's reign, almost thirty years after her marriage, and returned to the province several times.
It left many legends in the capital.
Originally, it was so long ago that people of Shu Shu's generation had probably never heard of it, but after her marriage, Mrs. Zhi helped her popularize royal connections, so she couldn't talk about the eldest princess.
There were four princesses under Shizu's name who lived to adulthood, one concubine and three adopted daughters. Three of them have passed away, and only Princess Duanmin, who is the third, is still alive.
Moreover, this one was one year older than Kangxi and was the emperor's sister.
Born in the Prince's Palace, her adoptive mother was the Queen Mother, and she married into the Prince Horqin's Palace.
In the absence of a queen, the eldest princess can be said to be the second most noble woman in the Qing Dynasty, second only to the Queen Mother, and naturally attracts everyone's attention.
Qi Fujin also expressed a look of sadness on his face: "This eldest princess is really famous. I heard that she always talked about her direct descendants and concubines... I have a clan aunt, Prince Xianjian Fujin. When the eldest princess returned to Beijing,
In front of the clan daughter Nvjuan, I gave my clan girl a good lead... At that time, my clan girl was still a new daughter-in-law. Just like us now, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to go back and wipe her neck..."
This is another continual relationship.
The former Prince Jian mentioned in Qifu Jin is the brother of the current Prince Jian.
He was the concubine of the princess. He succeeded his father in his early years and later died of illness.
After his death, he was impeached for any mistakes during the Third War. Not only did he not have a posthumous title, but he also had his title of prince revoked during his lifetime.
Fujin did not stay, but returned to his clan and remarried.
"For the two sons of princes, the biological mother is not allowed to pursue the title of Fu Jin. This is the first one..."
Shu Shu said.
This is about Prince Jian's biological mother, who has been dead for many years and was a commoner during her lifetime.
According to the clan rules, if the princes, princes, etc. who ascended the throne were born as concubines, they would most likely give up their sons to seek the title of the birth mother or the title of Fujin.
The only exception is Prince Jane's branch.
However, due to Kangxi's temper, he would not give such great honor to Princess Heshuo Duanmin, mostly because of the Queen Mother.
Qi Fujin looked down at himself, then looked up at Shu Shu: "We are all concubine's daughters-in-law, we won't really be picked on, right?"
Shu Shu said: "The Queen Mother is worried, which shows that she is not just domineering and picky..."
Qi Fujin whispered: "I don't know what I am proud of? I keep saying that I am a concubine, but the emperor is still a concubine... In the 31st year, the emperor gave the princess Fu Meng a long history according to the Baylor grade. Everyone has a share.
This one is the only one left behind... My clan girl has remarried for many years, and she is still happy when she mentions this matter, saying that it is retribution..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "This is the consequence of not practicing moral ethics... Anyway, we just abide by the rules..."
Qi Fujin sighed: "That's all, why do we say that we are junior and are in the way of the Queen Mother..."
The day after Prince Darkhan came to pay homage, he arrived at Julhada Uda.
The residence of the Prince of Aohan County.
Since Prince Aohan had already attended the banquet, on this day Princess Aohan's second son Heshuo's consort Qilun Batur and his wife Heshuo Gege attended the banquet.
This person is Kangxi's cousin, and Heshuo Gege is Kangxi's cousin.
It can be described as a family dinner.
However, due to the previous embarrassment, the banquet was still a little deserted.
Every cause must have an effect.
Who is called Prince Aohan’s temptation first?
It is obvious that within ten or eight years, Prince Aohan will become silent and will no longer dare to find a sense of existence.
The next day, we arrived at Susaibao, Jiamen, at the junction of the Aohan tribe and the Horqin tribe.
One day in advance, Shu Shu received instructions from the Queen Mother's side, Aunt Bao, that the Queen Mother would be vegetarian on that day.
Because this day is the life sacrifice of the Queen Mother's late father, and the place where the Queen Mother's parents are buried is two hundred miles away, the Ministry of Rites has sent people there to pay homage.
For the Empress Dowager, a clean place should be chosen near the road, an altar should be set up to offer sacrifices at a distance, and the fifth elder brother and his wife should accompany the sacrifices.
Shu Shu thought of two vegetarian dishes, Kung Pao Tofu Box and Glutinous Rice with Osmanthus and Lotus Root.
The two breakfast snacks are red dates stuffed with rice cakes, and one with ginger and milk.
Eating sweets will make you feel better.
It's hard to say how the Queen Mother is eating there.
The Seventh Fortune, the Tenth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince all ate deliciously.
Yes, there is a menu here. In addition to sending one to the Queen Mother, the dining room also sends one to Shushu's place, which is called "Please give Fujin a try."
Every day, I ate all these extra dishes.
Shu Shu feels that it’s not necessarily about how delicious it is, but more about how everyone rushes to eat it.
Qi Fujin came over shamelessly. It was not good for men and women to have mixed dinners. The main reason was that Qi Fujin and Jiu Age needed to avoid taboos.
They are similar in age, and they are both married uncles and sisters-in-law.
Shu Shu also began to separate seats again.
The two sisters-in-law have one seat, the ninth elder brother takes the tenth elder brother, and the thirteenth elder brother has one seat.
This extra dish was not big enough. I asked for another portion, so it was divided into two plates.
If there is less food and someone robs it while you are eating it, the taste will be even more delicious.
In the evening, Aunt Bao came over, followed by the little eunuch, carrying a box.
Shu Shu was shocked.
It's really a box.
The kind of wooden box that is usually used to store clothes and other things is one and a half feet wide, about three feet long, and about two feet high.
"The empress ate well today, she even ordered an extra bowl of stewed milk... She also liked the red dates and rice cakes, and asked someone to add them to the sacrifice. She said that our old prince also liked to eat sticky food... I will eat the tofu box in the afternoon. I ate half of the plate and said it tasted good, and asked people to remember to try it with meat stuffing tomorrow..."
Aunt Bao's voice was choked with sobs as she spoke of the Queen Mother's reaction: "I was worried that the Queen Mother would not move Kuaizi today... Fujin is attentive... I heard from Wu Fujin that Fujin loves to eat beef jerky. The Queen Mother just received the prince's filial piety, so she gave the order I will keep half of it for Fujin. Fujin does not want heretics..."
Shu Shu no longer said goodbye as if she had received jewelry, but instead showed joy on her face: "It's great... I was just about to eat this... Before leaving the capital, I went shopping around in the capital and made a few kilograms for me. I’ve eaten it all long ago...I’ll shamelessly accept such a reward, not to mention even once, even if it comes three or five times..."
Seeing that she was really happy, Aunt Bao smiled and took the eunuch to reply.
Xiaoyu and Walnut opened the box and saw bundles of beef jerky wrapped in yellow paper.
They are all the kind of super-dry beef jerky that is as long as an arm and as thick as two tuna.
The mutton smell of beef is also striking.
Xiaoyu usually plays with makeup and powder, and her nose is the most sensitive, and the smell is the worst. She wants to hide in the door of the tent: "This smell is too strong..."
Walnut was also confused: "Fu Jin, should you eat this directly?"
Shu Shu seemed to have seen a treasure and said with a smile: "There are other ways to eat..."
The steward in the dining room was respectful, Shu Shu looked at the beef jerky and decided to give it a big hand.
These days, she took advantage of the dining room and ate well, but she couldn't share the profits with others.
This is also the case with Wufujin and his wife.
It just so happened that the beef jerky arrived today, so Shu Shu wanted to do a favor.
Shu Shu called Xiaotang and gave instructions: "Bring a few bundles to the dining room and make a few flavors...five-spice, spicy, cumin. It doesn't need to be too complicated to process. Just soak it in hot water first and cut it into pieces." Thumb-sized diced dices, just oil them first and then fry them... Once done, put them in a food box, including the unprocessed ones, and make four... They are given away everywhere... Big brother's place, The third elder brother's place, the fifth elder brother's place..." Having said this, he thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it's better not to send it away yet... I will discuss with you how to send it away..."
Brother Jiu turned around and heard this sentence: "What are you giving me?"
Shu Shu pointed to the box on the ground and talked about giving gifts everywhere.
Not to mention anything else, the eldest brother and the fifth brother should send it there.
If these two people are given away, the third elder brother will not be left behind.
There is also Zhang Bin, who has received something before and has always wanted to give a gift in return, and also wants to give one as a gift.
The Queen Mother has recently become obsessed with new food, so she must send a portion to the Queen Mother, and the two concubines must not be left behind at the same time.
Then the emperor and Concubine Yi...
The reason why Shu Shu hesitated was because of the two nobles, some of them agreed, and some of them disagreed.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "I'll give them all away... Khan Amma promised that even if he has no rank, he can't take it lightly... Khan Amma once reprimanded the internal minister for not saluting the palace maiden in the prince's name.
After that chamberlain... it means that even the low-grade concubine beside the prince is still the master... This is true for the prince's backyard, and it must have the same meaning for the harem..."
Shu Shu understood.
The Queen Mother can ignore the concubines who have no rank, because of her noble status. If everyone comes in front of her, they will not be able to recognize her, and it will be a mess.
But in front of the younger generation of princes and elder brothers, a concubine is a concubine, and even the lowest promise must be treated with respect.
This is true for my father.
The same is true for my brother.
It’s not about giving face to a few princesses, it’s about giving face to the eldest brother and the third brother.
Before sunset on this day, each tent received a gift from Brother Jiu and his wife, a box of beef jerky with four flavors...
