Chapter 1557 Joy (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
The princes dispersed.
The Holy Master will return to Luang tomorrow, and it is not good for them to leave today.
But after a siege, everything was confiscated, so we must have barbecue and wine tonight.
Where Brother Nine stayed, Cao Shun and Gui Yuan were sorting their prey.
Some will be transported back to the Prince's Mansion today, some will be taken back tomorrow and distributed to everyone participating in the procession, and some will be cooked tonight.
If it's cold outside, you don't have to worry about damage if it's frozen outdoors.
Looking at the small mountain of prey, Brother Jiu got off his horse, gestured to everyone with his fingers, and said: "Everyone is ten small, you are making a big deal out of me!"
We must know that the Zhijun Prince's Mansion, which ranked second, only captured more than 240 medium-sized and above prey in total, while the Ninth Prince's Mansion captured more than 400 prey, which was almost twice as many as the former.
Don't look at the third elder brother's regret for not snatching the prey from the ninth elder brother. In fact, even if he asked someone to snatch it, it might not be able to shake the number one position in the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
Cao Shun said with a smile: "I was lucky. Two times in a row, I encountered either a herd of elk or a herd of red deer. They were all big guys. When we finally made the encirclement, we faced both a herd of deer and a herd of red deer..."
Brother Jiu said happily: "Haha, Nanyuan is such a good place. My God of Wealth is located in the south..."
Brother Jiu was in a good mood. It wasn't until he faced the guards and soldiers in the mansion and listened to everyone's congratulations that he felt more real.
Whether in front of the emperor or in front of the palace, he was proud that he could finally outdo his brothers.
Now, seeing Fu Song and thinking about Akdan, he truly understood the weight of these fifty blue armors.
If he and Shu Shu only have two sons, the fifty blue armors will not be separated and all will be given to Akdan who is not a knight, which is equivalent to Akdan getting more than half of Baylor's salary.
If there is another third brother, then divide it into two parts.
Even if the descendants do not become talented, fail the exams, and become idle members of the clan, they still have the income to support their families.
Of these fifty Blue A players, Fusong did not play, but he was the one who spent the most time on them.
Brother Ninth decided to wait until Fusong’s wedding next year to provide more subsidies.
It's not easy to reward Fu Song alone now, after all, the annual salary reward was agreed upon before.
Just as he was thinking about it, Fu Song came over, followed by someone, carrying two food boxes in his hands.
"Master Jiu, the ginger tea is ready. Drink more to ward off the cold..."
Fu Song poured a bowl for Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu frowned, he had been drinking a lot of ginger tea this winter.
But he is not a child anymore, he understands the importance and drinks it in two or three gulps.
Fusong poured him another bowl and then ordered others to divide the rest.
After hunting all morning, everyone was sweating, and if the wind caught the wind, they drank some as a precaution.
The hasty meal at noon consisted of fried noodles and pastry, while the meal in the evening consisted of barbecue, stew and broth.
There was a lot of pepper in the broth, and everyone was sweating while drinking it, and their bodies felt relaxed...

For the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shu Shu went directly to Ning'an Hall.
For dinner, we had fried deer tongue, braised roe deer meat, and a few other side dishes.
"This first place is so worth it..."
Shu Shu mentioned it with excitement and said: "Every time I see Fengsheng and Akdan, I feel worried. They were the same brothers when they were young. It would be very uncomfortable if their titles were completely different in the future. Before, they were the same brothers.
What he was thinking about was that Master Jiu would make more contributions and try to give Akdan the title of a prince when the time came, but that was not guaranteed. Nowadays, the examination for the title of the clan's children is very strict. Even the prince's legitimate son will have his title suspended if he does not do well in the exam...
…”
These fifty blue armors are the foundation.
The uncle said: "I hope that the emperor will live a long life..."
The examination for the title of the emperor's grandson is different from the examination for the title of the clan.
Madam Bo herself is the eldest daughter, and having experienced two dynasties, she knows that the so-called rules are the emperor's rules.
In the early years, the emperor introduced the reform of the rules for the title of nobility for the children of the clan, but it was stimulated by Prince An's palace.
According to the old rules of the ancestors, one of the prince's sons will attack the prince, and the remaining sons will attack the county prince.
The prince and the prince had previously acquiesced not to surrender.
That would be terrible. Over the generations of high-ranking clans, the number will increase several times.
At this time and that time, Kangxi would restrict the level of clan titles, but he would not restrict his children and grandchildren.
When the time comes for the emperor's grandson to be ennobled, he can still be ennobled.
Even if I have to take the exam, I will adjust the standards even if I can't.
After hearing this, Shu Shu calculated silently in her mind that Fengsheng and Akdan were two years old this year and could take the imperial examination at the age of twenty, which would be the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign.
fine……
She felt more at ease, thinking about the seizures.
"Six carts were sent back, with more than a hundred animals. They were all picked out to keep in the house. We can't eat so much. I will send people around tomorrow to deliver them away..."
Shu Shu said: "How do you think about sending it to the Prince's Mansion?"
The uncle said: "There is no need to give it away. Starting from the ninth elder brother, you are still the elder, so you don't need to pay attention to the two of them. If you can't build something, you don't need to pay attention to Haidian. But your third uncle, and you."
Ma's affection is inside, just act like ordinary relatives!"
Shu Shu had enough dealings with Prince Fujin of Shuncheng County twice.
The couple couldn't say that they bullied the weak and feared the strong, but rather they were biting each other's noses.
The old prince controls the accounting office and the palace's properties, and they, the masters of the county and prince's palace, have no confidence.
In this case, it should not have anything to do with other people.
The couple failed to live up to Madam Uncle's kindness and worried about Madam Uncle's dowry and private house, which left people speechless.
Mrs. Bo is already married and belongs to the Dong E family. Even though she has no step-heirs, she is now being raised in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. There is only a status difference between her and Shu Shu, her niece and adopted daughter.
It was difficult for Shu Shu to reject those two people, but Mrs. Bo protected Shu Shu and said: "I don't have any affection at all, so there is no need to pay attention to them..."
She has been married for more than thirty years, and except for Guizhen, she has never met her other nephews and nieces very often.
Shu Shu said: "Then give more to the third uncle's family. Their family has a large population..."
However, thinking about the troubles in Prince Shuncheng's palace, Mrs. Bo also became alert and said to Shu Shu: "Look back, you can reorganize the properties under my name, Fengsheng, Akdan, Fusong, Zhuliang and the others."
One place, the rest will be transferred to you and Ni Guzhu..."
Mrs. Bo's dowry property is now managed by Shu Shu.
Accounts are reviewed on a monthly basis and accounts are compiled quarterly.
After hearing this, Shu Shu immediately turned cold and said angrily: "Ah Mou, okay, what do you want to do with this? Can't we wait until Ni Guzhu is older and we can get married, then we can think about this again?"
Mrs. Bo looked at her lovingly and said: "No one can predict life, old age, illness and death. I am also a person who knows destiny, so I can feel at ease if I allocate these in advance."
Shu Shu put down her chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore.
Mrs. Bo rolled her eyes and said, "Without the property in my name, you are no longer filial?"
Shu Shu said in a muffled voice: "You also said that no one can predict life, old age, illness and death. What if I walk in front of Amou..."
Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Bo had already slapped her hard twice on the back and said, "What are you talking about? Bah, bah, bah! Childish words are unbridled!"
Shu Shu insisted: "You are not allowed to transfer it anyway. Anyone who has it is worse than having it yourself. Don't worry about sharing it with others in advance!"
Mrs. Bo shook her head and said: "You also know that the guy from Haidian is a shameless person. If I really go ahead of him, he will instigate the palace to fight with Dong E's family. Then everyone will be uneasy..."
Shu Shu hummed softly: "Did the Dong E family start a fight with him? Ah Mou followed me and asked him to come here to fight with me... The reason why rogue moves are effective is because someone uses them. You see, I can use them.
His, or is Master Jiu spoiling him?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo said helplessly: "Before you got married, you pretended to be good, but now that you are being taken care of by Master Jiu, you have become a bastard!"
Shu Shu said: "If you don't suffer a loss, others won't dare to provoke you. That's not very good. If you are too good, others will be demanding."
The uncle said: "By the way, don't be too proud when you meet the other prince Fujin. Everyone knows that blue armor and gold are precious..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "If I don't mention it, the other sisters-in-law probably won't be able to mention it. Just Sanfujin, there will be a few sour words."
The uncle said: "Prince Zhijun should be able to feel at ease after following Fujin!"
His first wife, Fujin, has an eldest son who is still raised in the palace, making him the perfect candidate for the throne.
If the Prince of Zhijun gives birth to a son after Fujin, even if he is excellent in all three exams, he will be a first-class general who governs the country, with an annual salary of four hundred taels of silver.
Thirty blue armors will soon catch up with Beizi's salary.
Shu Shu nodded, speaking of it, the elder Prince Fujin was only in his early twenties, and the younger ones were sixteen or seventeen, but they had to consider the salary of their descendants.

Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
When Mrs. Zhang met the person sent by her eldest brother to deliver the news, she held back her tears.
She stabilized her mind and said: "The silver reward is all ready. Your Majesty, please take it with you. Should you take it with you today, or give it out when you come back tomorrow?"
The man said: "I told you to send it out when I come back tomorrow..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang felt warm in her heart and asked people to reward her with her purse.
The eldest brother will be back tomorrow, and he sent someone back today, not to collect money, but to tell her the good news.
Mrs. Zhang is truly happy.
Now that the housekeeping is in her hands and the stepdaughters are grown up, everyone is polite to each other.
As for the concubines in the inner house, none of them have children, and none of them are obviously favored. Her life is going smoothly.
Mrs. Zhang did not ask for anything but to have a baby brother as soon as possible.
Marry into the royal family, and only by having children can you truly gain a foothold...

In Qianxi Wusuo, Twelve Fujin also met the eunuch of Twelve Prince.
She was very happy when she heard that her twelfth brother had won third place.
She hasn't thought that far ahead, nor has she thought about her children. She just thinks that being able to overpower so many brothers and be ranked third is very impressive.
When the person who announced the good news went down, she opened the jewelry box, picked up the banknotes that Brother Twelve had sent back yesterday, and looked at them again and again.
The monthly salary of the prince of the twelfth elder brother is fifty taels per month, which is only 600 taels of silver per year.
But in the palace life, rewards are needed everywhere, and there is no money left at all.
These five thousand taels are all the personal money of the twelfth prince, right?
Twelve Fujin felt a little pity for her, and she had to find a way to let her companion outside to run the shop and property well, so as to save more money.
Otherwise, if there is any competition next time, the twelfth prince will not be able to reward people with money, which is so pitiful...
