Chapter 160: Princess (first update, please vote for me)
As he said that, Brother Jiu also laughed: "These two guys were talking so freely. They probably forgot that Sister-in-law Seven still lives in the yard this time... Anyway, we shouldn't even include the sisters-in-law, so it's not strange. Seventh sister-in-law harmed them... Old Thirteen can't tell what Fujin is like, Old Ten Fujin is Mongolian Princess, it's better to expect her to know how to do things in the kitchen than to expect Old Ten to come quickly..."
When Shu Shu mentioned the conversation last night, he thought of the third elder brother and said, "The third elder brother didn't come with the courtesy last night, and he didn't send any cake just now. Is everything okay?"
This one is a big trap.
Shu Shu thought it was better to keep a distance.
Sanfujin's relationship is due to their relationship as cousins.
Others are still coded according to normal human relations between half-brothers.
Brother Jiu curled his lips: "I have just discovered that he is a good talker... Don't worry, he has always had a good face. Even if he left in anger last night, he will definitely send someone to deliver the "Book of Filial Piety" today..."
Before he finished speaking, He Yuzhu came in to report, and Third Elder Brother sent someone over.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu looked at each other and found it funny.
Brother Jiu nodded and called in.
He Yuzhu went out and brought someone in.
It was the eunuch beside Third Brother, holding a flat brocade box.
As expected, he came to give me a birthday gift.
If there are no accidents, it is the "Book of Filial Piety".
Brother Ninth endured his disgust and asked the eunuch to take a portion of the remaining Ruyi cakes back to Brother Three.
Then, he opened the brocade box, looked at the "Book of Filial Piety" inside, and chattered to Shu Shu: "Let's learn from it in the future, don't be too sincere... Especially here at Lao San, the forefather doesn't care, he eats How many losses have been incurred... I have to remember it, and I will deal with these vain things next time..."
The holy chariot sets off.
They left the Princess Duanmin Palace and the residence of Prince Darhan Palace and continued to march in the hinterland of Horqin Grassland.
King Darhan brought his disciples with him.
"A hundred miles to the east is the pasture of the Queen Mother's family..."
Brother Jiu was impatient to see Prince Darhan and his son, so he stayed in the carriage without riding a horse and followed Shu Shu to introduce the destination.
The Empress Dowager has a total of four brothers, and King Darhan is the grandson of the fourth brother.
The Queen Mother and Princess Shuhui are the granddaughters of the second brother.
This branch is also the one that has more marriages with the Aixinjueluo family.
The Queen Mother has three sisters: Prince Fujin, Mrs. Beizi, and the wife of a clan general.
The Queen Mother's three sisters-in-law, one princess and two county princesses.
Shu Shu was already used to it, and was just curious: "Why is this noble rank so low?"
They were going to the residence of the Queen Mother's youngest brother, who only had the title of Taiji.
However, the eldest brother's branch of the Empress Dowager and the fourth brother's branch are both inherited by Prince Heshuo.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Speaking of it, the title is not low. It does not mean that it is not downgraded to Dorobele. It means that the title is in the branch of the Queen Mother's other brother. It has not been early for two generations of Belles. The title has been passed down to the Queen Mother's great-nephews. , Now this Baylor is working as an errand in the capital... Taiji is the only one left in the Queen Mother's family, so she came to this uncle..."
Since he is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, he is still under the age of sixty.
He didn't come to court, and he didn't go out to greet him.
Is this based on seniority?
In Shu Shu's curiosity, after two days of running around, the team arrived at Abu Dartai at noon on the third day.
Taiji mansion residence.
If we talk about the residence of Prince Darhan and the residence of Princess Mansion, it is like a small town, and the current residence of Taiji is like a small village.
When he saw the real person, Shu Shu also understood the reason why the other party did not come out to greet him.
It turned out that the other party had paralysis, his knee joint was swollen and deformed, and he was no longer able to walk.
His elders were all concubines, so they were separated and were not qualified to represent the Taiji Mansion.
Taiji's youngest son, the consort of Heshuo, was also on duty in the capital and did not return home with his retinue this time.
Although walking is inconvenient, the old man is full of energy and looks wide and fat.
Kangxi leaned down and hugged this nominal uncle.
The old man bent down slightly and gently touched Kangxi's head: "Your Majesty, we are home now..."
Concubine Shuhui supported the Queen Mother and stepped forward. Looking at her paralyzed younger brother, the sisters could not stop crying.
When the sisters came to Beijing, they were as young as a flower, and the younger brother was still a child as tall as a horse. Now they are all in their twilight years, just waiting for the call of the Immortal God.
Shu Shu and others followed behind and were moved when they saw the scene of their relatives reunited after a long absence.
She couldn't help but look back, looking at the Eight Banners Guards following behind her, and thinking about her Amma.
Along the way, during the Kalaqin period, the father and daughter took the time to meet each other.
The rest of the time, we never saw each other, and it was Jiu Age, my son-in-law, who sent me some food every now and then.
It was completely different from the father and daughter I imagined seeing each other every once in a while.
As the prince of Fujin, Shu Shu always camped next to the imperial tent in the wild.
Not only are the prince's family members here, but also the concubines not far away. Outsiders are prohibited from entering.
The guard officials walking around the perimeter are also members of the Three Banners.
The station for lowering the Five Flags is at the outermost edge of the entire team.
Unless summoned by Kangxi, the officers and soldiers of the Lower Five Banners did not come forward, and they only followed the guards of the Upper Three Banners when traveling.
They were both Eight Banners, but it was obvious that the only ones Kangxi valued and trusted were the Shangsan Banners, which he personally led.
On the way, we arrived at the residence where the prince and princess were stationed, and there were houses and courtyards to accommodate them, which was almost the same.
Shu Shu felt happy in her heart. Fortunately, Amma did not expose her to others.
Fortunately, I didn't marry into an ordinary Eight Banners official family.
Otherwise, as my husband goes abroad, he will not be able to return to his parents' home even once in three to five years...
I really don’t dare to think about it…
The group of people was welcomed in.
Waiting at the door here is a capable woman whose age cannot be discerned.
He looked tall and straight, looking like he was in his forties.
However, the temples are gray and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes show age.
This is a county chief.
Shu Shu couldn't help but take a second look.
Looks a little nice.
After the county magistrate heard about the family backgrounds of several Fujins, he also looked at Shu Shu several times, with a hint of intimacy in his eyes.
Shu Shu knew it well.
This person is probably from the lineage of Prince Lilie or Guanglue Baylor.
The regulations of Taiji Mansion are limited, and naturally there are more courtyards than Princess Mansion and Prince Mansion.
Where the prince's family stayed, there was only one courtyard.
After all, the house is not that small, and the yard is more spacious. Otherwise, if the seven princes and elder brothers were placed in one place, with only the attendants, the whole yard would be filled.
There are five rooms in the main room, allocated to the eldest brother and the third brother.
There are six rooms in the east wing, all with three rooms and a partition, which are the fifth elder brother and his wife and the seventh fujin couple.
There are also six rooms in the west wing, three rooms in the north are comfortable, and the three rooms in the south are the tenth prince and the thirteenth prince.
Shu Shu only found it novel and interesting.
If it were an ordinary common people's family, "the parents would not separate the families when they were together" and the like, and the daughters-in-law of each house would live in the same place, it should be similar to the situation now.
Then for the sake of three melons and two dates, my sister-in-law teased me and so on.
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin both looked bad.
It is different from living in a palace before.
The place was very small at that time, and there were not so many people crowded into one courtyard.
"It's so inconvenient to look up but not look down..."
The seventh Fujin pulled the fifth Fujin over to find Shu Shu, looked in the direction of the upper room, and complained in a low voice.
Wufujin also had a look of embarrassment on his face: "I'm going to stay here for two days..."
After Shu Shu heard this, it was hard to say anything.
Long before leaving the capital, San Fujin sent someone to invite her over. He mentioned Tian Gege in his words, looking quite wary, and even asked Shu Shu to keep an eye on her to see if there was anything wrong with her outside.
Shu Shu was not confused, so he would not get involved in other people's wives and concubines, even if one of them was his cousin.
Because of the age difference between the two, they did not grow up in the same group. It would be a lie to say that they were close since childhood.
Looking at Nuannuluoluo, it was more after they both became prince Fujin.
In the early years, Shu Shu's Amma was just an assistant leader. When he joined the leader, he was afraid that he would not be able to get into the eyes of Sanfujin, the daughter of the prince.
Taiji's banquet is scheduled for tomorrow.
The team will not set off again until the morning after tomorrow, and everyone will have to spend two days together in this courtyard.
Naturally, it was not the eldest brother or the third brother who put Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin in trouble.
We are in the relationship between an eldest brother and his sister-in-law. We can only avoid each other. Even if we meet, just greet each other generously.
The princes all accompanied the emperor, and they usually came back at night to make arrangements. If you were careful, you wouldn't touch them easily.
What put them in trouble was a few princesses...
"The two princesses next to Prince Zhi were both requested by my sister-in-law during this year's primary election. They are so young that I can't tell much... Tian Gege, brought by Prince Cheng, is an old man from the second school. He seems to be the princess who taught human affairs in the past. His appearance
Not much worse than the third sister-in-law, she also gave birth to a second son in three months. She has done a good job in giving birth to a son, but the younger brother didn't stop, otherwise I'm afraid he would have sealed off Fujin by now..."
Qi Fujin was well-informed and talked to Shu Shu.
The "second institute" she mentioned was the Qandong Second Institute where Prince Cheng, the third elder brother, lived.
The third elder brother was born in the 16th year of Kangxi's reign, and was six years older than the ninth elder brother.
His wedding took place in the 31st year of Kangxi's reign, and Sanfujin was the show girl of that year.
According to the rules, the beautiful girl from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is designated as Princess before the wedding, so this Tian Princess is really qualified.
If you have favors, qualifications, and sons, you will definitely be in the future.
The clan imperial edict system leaves people speechless.
Perhaps it was to appease the Fujins in the royal palace at the time of the founding of the country. After all, when everyone married, they all had the status of Fujin. When the Taizong Dynasty established the rules and nominally divided the direct and indirect families, many people were naturally dissatisfied.
So they came up with the idea that side Fujins had crowns and belts and were listed in the imperial register. The "side birth" of their children was equivalent to the direct birth. They were ennobled together with the children born to the full line Fuji and were not counted as concubines.
It is still a kind of "parallel".
Emperor Shizu was able to ascend the throne because of this. His biological mother was one of the Five Palaces of Fortune, and she was the legitimate son.
Later, after entering the customs, this clan system was extended.
Regardless of whether the Tian family is qualified now, when she is granted the title of Fu Jin, the crown will be equivalent to that of Baylor's direct wife.
Shu Shu, Prince Fujin, is okay. Before her husband was ennobled, his status was aloof. When meeting Prince Fujin, family etiquette was based on seniority.
Below Prince Fujin, Prince Fujin is the most respected.
Naturally, it is also a matter of superiority and inferiority when it comes to the commander-in-chief and the like.
The husbands of Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin have already been knighted, and as their husbands move up in rank, it is impossible to say that they will be polite when meeting Tian in the future.
Even because the third elder brother was ranked first, Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin had to salute first.
At that time, she will be my sister-in-law.
That's why the two of them are now in a dilemma, feeling that they can't take it lightly or take it seriously.
If you are polite to Tian Gege, there are still two Geges of the eldest brother...
If everyone is polite, it will be a lawsuit if it reaches the ears of Dafujin and Sanfujin.
Shu Shu thought for a while and suggested: "It's better to stay as usual..."
Even if Tian Gege is a potential prince, he is not yet. The official title is "a lady from the palace under the name of Prince Cheng". It is too polite, and it has lost the identity of the prince Fujin.
If you don't take the initiative to see someone, if you do, you should treat them according to your current status, and there is no need to treat them differently.
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin nodded in unison: "There is no other way, this is the only way..."
Neither of them were in high spirits.
It should be because they thought that they themselves had a concubine's eldest son in their family.
The mother of the eldest son of the concubine was of similar origin to Tian Gege.
If you are qualified, "Mother is more valuable than her son", and you have "meritorious service in childbearing", please be granted the title of "Mrs. Beile". The title is equivalent to Mrs. Beizi.
At that time, the eldest son of the concubine will become the elder brother equivalent to the legitimate son.
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin were no longer in the mood to joke and went back to pack their luggage...
