Chapter 1410: Helpful Wife (wowling for monthly votes)
Since the fifth elder brother is moving back, his luggage still needs to be packed for a while.
The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother left first.
The ninth elder brother followed the fifth elder brother to the door.
Watching the two of them riding away, the ninth elder brother said to the fifth elder brother: "Fifth elder brother, if you are divided into classes, remember to be in the same class as the seventh elder brother."
He was worried about being in the same class as the eighth elder brother, fearing that the eighth elder brother would do something inappropriate and the fifth elder brother would take the blame.
Or he was made to look stupid by his eighth elder brother and told others to tell jokes.
Compared with the eighth prince, the seventh prince's character and behavior are much more reliable.
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Well, I will definitely be in the same class as Lao Qi."
Brother Jiu saw that he knew what he was doing, so he strolled back to Beiwusuo.
Shu Shu is here, leaning in the study, holding a book "Zhi of Long Things" in his hand and reading through it.
This is a gardening treatise written by Ming people.
Shu Shu has been reading related books recently, and has already read "Building French Style", "Wuxing Garden Notes", and "Yunlin Stone Manual".
Brother Jiu came in, poured a glass of water, sat next to her, and said, "Are you planning to design your own fishing garden?"
Shu Shu closed the book, shook her head and said: "It's better to invite gardeners from the Ministry of Industry..."
Industry specializing in surgery.
Ninth Age said in awe: "If you don't plan to design it yourself, then why are you reading these books? It's so wasteful of energy?"
Shu Shu said: "You must know something about it to avoid being fooled."
Brother Jiu stretched out his hand and said: "You know a little about the law, a little about numeracy, a little about riding and shooting, a little about economics, a little about agriculture, and a little about foreign languages. I know a thing or two about keeping in good health, I know a thing or two about eating and drinking... In the future, I will also know a thing or two about gardening..."
There are really too many slaps to count, and he sighed: "Anyone who is flattered by you will become a waste..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Don't you like me to read these idle books?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, I just want you to pass the time and pay it back. Don't worry too much, manpower is limited..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Listen to me, I just do it on a whim, and I don't like to waste time on it on weekdays."
Brother Jiu looked at the door and saw Bai Guo waiting at the door, so he waved his hand and sent her out.
Then, he also leaned on the kang, looked at Shu Shu, and whispered: "What does Khan Ama mean? Why did you start thinking about taking care of the prince? I haven't taken him for more than ten years, only once in February this year, and now this time again one time……"
Shu Shu also lowered her voice and said, "What do you think?"
Brother Jiu blinked and said: "I think it's not a big deal, and it's not a big deal. It's just patrolling the Yongding River, where the emperor and the prince are going. It seems like he deliberately took away the prince to make room..."
At this point, he was a little puzzled and said: "It's a bit strange to let the third brother and the others join the South Study Room. Shouldn't the eldest brother be allowed to go? Instead, the eldest brother stays in Beijing and is not given any serious errands. What does that mean?"
Shu Shu understood in her heart that Kangxi was wary of both his eldest brother and the prince.
After all, there are partisans behind both of them.
The elder brothers below the third elder brother do not have this worry.
It's just that you can't speak clearly, so as not to expose Brother Jiu's emotions in front of others.
Shu Shu thought about it for a moment and said, "Is it possible that San Beile, Fifth Brother, and the others have gone through a circle of six walking tours, and the emperor wanted to see how well his sons learned their errands, so he made this arrangement?"
Brother Ninth heard this and thought it was reliable. He nodded and said: "You are right, this should be it. The six excerpts all go to Nan Study Room. Even if Brother Five is just a transfer, they can learn a lot..."
Speaking of this, he smiled and said: "Khan Amma is happy with this arrangement, and the other brothers are happy, but the prince may not be happy. If the fifth brother and the seventh brother are like this, it will be fine without fighting or grabbing. With the third brother and the eighth brother here, if the two of them
Excellent performance, the prince is going to feel uncomfortable..."
First, the third elder brother got close to the prince, but that time in the first month, everyone could see that the prince had complained about the third elder brother, and there was a rift between the brothers...
When Brother Xiantoujiu came in, he ordered Cui Baisui to watch what was going on in the offices.
After guessing that Shen Zheng was found, Cui Baisui came to the main courtyard and reported: "Master, Fujin, Fifth Master and Wu Fujin have come out..."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu didn't delay and came forward.
There was a row of carriages parked at the door of Tousuo.
Grandma took the child and got into the carriage behind.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu stepped forward.
The fifth elder brother nodded to Shu Shu, and then said to the ninth elder brother: "If you have anything delicious, send some to the North Garden and Huichun Villa."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to tell me this."
The fifth elder brother glanced at Shu Shu and wanted to tell him to think about it.
My sister-in-law is a smart person, so you don’t have to worry about it yourself.
Since the Holy Master is not in the garden, it is convenient for Shu Shu to go into the garden to pay his respects. She would go there even if she didn't mention it.
It's just that it's better for me to stay here in Fujin than to go back to Beijing with myself.
The fifth elder brother felt clear in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
After being married for several years, he knew that his wife was prone to overthinking.
While they were talking, Jiu Gege and Shi Age and his wife got the news and came out.
Everyone watched the carriage of the fifth elder brother and his wife leave.
Shi Fujin held Shu Shu in one hand and Jiu Gege in the other, and said, "We are playing cards, but we can't make up the cards again."
After hearing this, Jiu Gege looked apologetic and said: "There have been a lot of banquets in the clan recently, so my consort and I will go back tomorrow."
"ah?"
Shi Fujin looked at Jiu Gege with reluctance.
In the past two months, Shu Shu has not been here, Shi Fujin and Jiu Gege have always been together, and their relationship has grown by leaps and bounds.
Shu Shu didn't say anything but knew that it was because the Holy Master was not in the garden.
It is not convenient for Bu Xi to stay here permanently.
Shu Shu took Jiu Gege's hand and said, "Since I'm going back to Beijing for a short stay, I don't have to worry too much about things. I'll be back in a few days."
Wu Fujin moved back, but Shu Shu didn't agree with it.
The holy driver patrolled the Yongding River and did not go further. Ten days and a half were over.
Keep things here so that people can go back and it will be convenient for them to come back.
In other words, it's half a day late. I'll send a greeting to Concubine Yi tomorrow morning before returning.
The fifth elder brother is a filial person. If Wu Fujin stays at his elder brother's house, stays with the Queen Mother, and goes to Changchun Garden to pay her two greetings, the fifth elder brother will appreciate it.
If Wufujin was small, Shu Shu would have stopped him.
Wu Fujin is the sister-in-law and has already asked people to pack her luggage, so it’s hard for Shu Shu to persuade her...
*
On the official carriage.
The fifth elder brother and his wife returned in the same car.
The fifth elder brother was a little annoyed as he thought about the few cars behind him, and said to Wu Fujin: "Just pack up the things, the rest is not enough, I have to come over next month..."
Wufujin is already regretting it.
Previously, she had ordered people to pack her luggage according to the Queen Mother's instructions, but when she saw Shu Shu just now, she also thought of Concubine Yi.
I have lived here for many days this year, but I only entered the park to pay my respects when I returned to Beijing at the end of March. Today, when I return to Beijing, I should pay my respects before leaving.
Wufujin frowned slightly.
She wants to be thorough, but every time there is something imperfect.
She knew she shouldn't compare. Shu Shu was usually tolerant and respectful to her sister-in-law, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.
It would be nice if the rankings of the ninth elder brother and the fifth elder brother were changed. As a brother-in-law, she would feel more at ease.
The fifth elder brother thought of the noodles at noon and said to Wu Fujin: "When I return home, ask the dining room to make some dried meat, dried meat, etc., and make snacks for Hong Sheng. The cooks in the garden dining room are similar to those in the palace. They cook them over and over again. The special dish is not delicious...”
After Wu Fujin heard this, he said: "Then we will do it tonight. I want to come over to pay my respects to the empress tomorrow morning, so I can bring her here."
When the time comes, Shu Shu and I will go to the garden to say hello and make up for the rudeness of not saying hello today.
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "The time is tight enough. If you can't make it in time, just send someone to buy some."
As for his younger brother, the fifth elder brother thought about it for a while and then put it down.
They are all the same nephews. If you don't give one a gift, you won't give it to the others.
The nephews gave it away, but will the younger brothers give it away?
That doesn't mean it has to be rounded.
It's thankless and eye-catching, so forget it.

The third elder brother and the eighth elder brother had already entered the city and parted ways to go to their respective homes.
Apart from the initial excitement, the third elder brother has already settled down.
He figured it out.
Neither the fifth elder brother nor the seventh elder brother likes to steal the limelight, just look at the eighth elder brother.
It happened that there were two people in a class and they were staring at each other. The eighth prince couldn't jump even if he wanted to.
You have to do this job well and stand out among the four of them.
In that case, when others mention the prince in the future, besides the prince and the eldest brother, they will also mention him as Sanbeile.
The hateful Sanbeile actually pulled himself to be level with the elder brother behind him.
Prince Cheng is so kind...
At this time, the government should not hold him back. The Eighth Prince is a lesson learned from the past.
Therefore, after he returned home, he went directly to the main room.
San Fujin has been pregnant for five months and is beginning to show her pregnancy. She is wearing a loose cheongsam and soft flat shoes on her feet. She is looking at her face in the glass mirror.
There are no spots and she looks tender. Is this a pregnant princess?
Seeing the third elder brother coming back, San Fujin put down the mirror, looked at the third elder brother and said, "The emperor has sent a bunch of people over, but do you have an errand to tell me?"
The third elder brother said with a bit of pride: "Starting from tomorrow, I will go on duty in the palace..."
San Fujin listened and didn't understand for a moment.
Does Taichang Temple still have to go on duty in the palace?
The Holy Master is not in the palace.
The third elder brother did not sell his official position, and said: "It's just the prince's previous job. He was assigned to the South Study Room. He is not considered a supervisor, but he can still have access to the affairs of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing Yamen."
After San Fujin heard this, he was immediately moved. He stood up and poured a cup of tea. He personally served it to Brother San and said, "Sir, does that also include errands for the Ministry of War?"
The third elder brother took the tea cup and took a sip, feeling a little disgusted.
Compared with the new Longjing tea from Qianqing Palace, the Pu'er tea at home has a stale taste.
He took a sip of tea and put it down, saying, "Of course, all six collections can be found in the South Study Room..."
San Fujin said with a bit of flattery: "Sir, shouldn't it be time for my eldest brother to fill the gap?"
Although Peng Chun died less than three years ago, the Eight Banners obeyed the Qing Dynasty and did not observe three years of filial piety. It was common for officials to observe filial piety for a hundred days or every year.
The third elder brother looked at San Fujin and frowned, and said: "Don't worry, this is my first time taking charge of an errand. How dare you interfere in this? Even if you don't take charge of errands, the Ministry of War is not something that a prince can interfere with."
After hearing this, San Fujin frowned and said, "Then just watch? My eldest brother is a third-class man. He can't even be a deputy commander, so he can only follow the flag."
In the past two years, there have been vacancies for deputy generals, and her eldest brother Zengshou was nominated twice, but because of his age and seniority, he was always "accompanied".
When the Vice-President becomes vacant, the two candidates, one the official and the other the companion, are to be seen by Your Majesty, and the Emperor chooses one of them.
Normally, the emperor would choose the right one.
This companionship is just to make up the numbers.
It will take a year or two to pay it off. As time goes by, this room in the palace will become silent.
The third elder brother thought about the current situation of Dong E's family, shook his head and said: "Don't worry about it, Qi Xi and Ga Li are both properly used. Your eldest brother is not old enough, so just take your time. When Qi Xi comes down, it will be your eldest brother."
, Dong E's family is still dominated by the military, and the boss of the uncle's house looks weak and young..."
San Fujin also knew that the two brothers in Dong E's family were now in charge, so he said unwillingly: "Really speaking, Uncle Qi, like my eldest brother, has never fought in a war. Why does the emperor care so much about it?"
The third elder brother said: "What else can there be? I work hard. When people talk about Qi Xi, they all praise him, saying that he knows how to teach. He pays attention to the flag's Mandarin riding and archery. The poor and helpless people in the flag also supervise the clan leader and help the leader."
Accommodating and helping, and the vacancies of the red flag are all made up according to the rules without intervening. The atmosphere is upright, and there are few cases of evil and rebellion..."
