Chapter 1572: The so-called husband and wife (wowling for monthly votes)
Brother Jiu said: "It's not troublesome, why bother making us uncomfortable..."
It's not a big deal, so Shu Shu stopped talking and just said: "The emperor will return to the palace the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I want to go on a trip to the inner manufacturing office. Don't delay the imperial errand..."
This is talking about the lotus lampstand mentioned by the emperor.
A message was sent to the internal manufacturing office to start construction.
The holy chariot will go on tour in the second half of the year, and the lotus lantern must be completed before then.
Shu Shu said: "Then wait until I come back and then pick up the 17th and 18th brothers."
Although the seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother were still young, they were senior, and it was the ninth elder brother who mentioned it first, so Shu Shu decided to entertain the two younger elders first, and then choose to entertain the four little princesses on one day.
.
Brother Jiu said: "It will be fine before the end of the month..."
After saying that, he hesitated for a moment and said, "There's nothing to do here. Do you want to take it to Zhuangzi?"
This side is about ten miles away from Zhuangzi, and there is a small hill over there where you can hunt birds.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's cold, and there's nothing good to see in Zhuangzi except livestock and poultry. If I want to take my brothers there, it would be better to wait until summer."
That was a prince, a young prince at that. It was uneasy to take him so far away.
Brother Jiu thought about it and said, "Then why should we take them to play? If we go out, we can't just stay there."
Shu Shu thought of Xiaosong's obsession with smashing ice to catch fish, and said, "How about we go to the east of Yumachang to catch fish?"
The nearby seas are not big. If there are big seas, you have to go far away.
The remaining ones are in Changchun Garden, West Garden and North Garden.
Changchun Garden is the royal garden, not a place for fun; the West Garden is the prince's territory, and it is not easy to mess with.
It is even more difficult to visit the North Garden without the Queen Mother.
Among the Xiaohaizi, there are two connected together, just northeast of Yumachang, less than a mile away from my brother, and there is no obstruction there.
The joy of catching fish is addictive.
Brother Jiu immediately nodded and said: "That's it, we will have a whole fish feast when the time comes..."
The weather is getting warmer day by day, so it’s hard to push the time too late.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "You don't have to tell your mother-in-law first. The saint will return to the capital the day after tomorrow. I will tell Khan Ama that if I agree, I will take them out to play for a day on the seventh day of the lunar month. When it comes to the prince, it is better to go first."
I asked Khan Amma..."
This saves the old man from having to look back.
Seeing that he had thought carefully, Shu Shu stopped talking and just said: "Okay..."
But you can’t just look at smashing ice to catch fish.
Adults love this, but children don't like it when they are outside.
Shu Shu said: "This year's Li family's annual gift includes a set of zodiac sheep horn lanterns. There are also gifts from two or three other families. Bring them over when the time comes and let the children play with them."
She doesn't like Li Xu, but the things are good, and if they are kept for a long time, they will become discolored.
Brother Jiu said: "If we put together the same thing, the lanterns alone are too thin. They will not be used after the Lantern Festival..."
My brother, my niece, there is nothing I can't bear to part with.
Besides, he knew that his eldest brother's temper was not to take advantage of his younger brother.
The things I have sent over the years have all come and gone, and there are even a lot more good things.
Shu Shu said: "Little Princesses, we also have Western hand mirrors and enamel gold buttons here. The seventeenth and eighteenth brothers each have a Western pocket watch."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It looks like it's almost done..."

Four main houses.
Thirteenth Brother and Thirteenth Fujin were also talking.
Thirteen Fujin was talking about what she had seen and heard all morning, but she was smart and told it truthfully without commenting on it.
Brother Thirteen was listening, explaining the relationship between everyone to Thirteen Fujin.
"Ninth brother and eldest brother are different in age, so they didn't have much contact at all. However, when the first sister-in-law passed away, fourth sister-in-law and ninth sister-in-law helped to dress and bury the body, so the two families have been in contact. Ninth sister-in-law was pitiful, and she also treated several nieces.
With great care, the nieces are closer to the fourth sister-in-law and the ninth sister-in-law than the other elders..."
He did not mention the income from the hot spring resort.
Brothers can't have fun together just for money.
Besides, when the eldest brother opened a mansion and joined the banner, he was still the eldest son of the emperor, so he would not do this just for money.
"The eldest daughter of the third sister-in-law, who has been the prince Fu Jin for more than ten years, has always been competitive in front of others. However, the other sisters-in-law have a gentle personality and no one talks to her. There are some unpleasant things out there. Even if you have heard it, you don't have to believe it.
, if there was really something inappropriate, the emperor would have dealt with it long ago..."
The Thirteenth Prince doesn’t like the Third Prince’s stinginess, but his comments on San Fujin are still relatively objective.
Thirteen Fujin heard this and knew that this was about the death of three bastards in Sanbeile Mansion.
Although other princes' mansions also had children who died in infancy, the one in Sanbeile's mansion still attracted attention.
Because both the legitimate son and the legitimate daughter have stood down, the concubine will either die in infancy or die in confinement.
It wasn't until the birth of the sixth elder brother last year that this situation was broken.
However, the survival of this bastard did not whitewash San Fujin's "maliciousness". Instead, it gave people outside the country more excuses.
It is said that San Fujin relied on his natal family before to do whatever he wanted; now that his natal mother is gone, Chengjue's younger brother is not his half-brother, and he has no support, so the sixth elder brother escapes.
Thirteen Fujin didn’t even believe such nonsense.
When she met Sanfujin today, she also saw that Sanfujin didn't have much of a city.
"The fourth sister-in-law grew up in the palace. The eldest sister-in-law died a few years ago. The third sister-in-law gave birth to children one after another. Most of them were taken care of by the fourth sister-in-law... The fourth sister-in-law is the princess of the Ulanala family and the head of the Ulan Kingdom.
My cousin, the Uranala family has been married to the royal family for several generations. The grandmother of the ninth sister-in-law is the great-aunt of the fourth sister-in-law. The two families can be said to be related..."
"Seventh sister-in-law is Gege from Hadanara's family in Zhenghongqi. Her natal family and ninth sister-in-law's natal family are neighbors, and the two families are related by marriage. I heard that they played together since they were young, and they have a close relationship..."
Thirteen Fujin listened and understood.
In the eyes of the thirteenth elder brother, the elder brother is good, and the sister-in-law is also good.
Thirteen Fujin probably knows how to get along with his sisters-in-law in the future...

In the second house next door, the seventh brother returned to the city today. When he came back at noon, he brought two boxes of chestnut cakes and two bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts.
"Didn't you want to eat chestnuts last night? I happened to see some for sale..."
Seventh Brother said.
Qi Fujin said in surprise: "Huh? There is a shop with a front door now? Doesn't the market only open on the sixth day of the first lunar month?"
Brother Seventh coughed slightly and said, "I guess he wants to make money. There are few shops open at this time, so it's easy to make a living."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "That's right, it's an exclusive sale, and it's designated..."
Thinking of the sweetness and glutinousness of the chestnuts, Qi Fujin could only feel his mouth watering. He was really greedy and scratching his lungs.
With a smile on her face, she opened the oil paper package containing the chestnut cake.
The sweet fragrance of chestnuts spreads immediately.
Qi Fujin looked at it, smiling at first, then thought of something, his expression froze, and he looked a little at a loss.
All appetite turned into nausea.
"Ugh, vomit..."
Qi Fujin hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief to prevent him from spitting out.
Seeing this, the seventh elder brother quickly brought the spittoon to her.
Qi Fujin couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited everything in his stomach.
When the girl got some water for her to rinse her mouth with, she drooped her head and felt a bit disgusted.
Seeing this, the Seventh Brother sighed and said: "I have already told the Ninth Brother, please ask the Ninth Brother and sister to give us a copy of the recipe compiled by Lao Shi Fujin. Everything that can be eaten will be written on it. No need.
Afraid……"
Qi Fujin looked up at Brother Qi, with regret on his face and said: "It's all my fault, San Qingcai... If I don't have a good memory, will I still be called a human being?"
The seventh elder brother had a stern look on his face, looked at Qi Fujin with solemnity, and said: "You were pregnant for ten months and brought her into this world completely. Although it was a small fault, it was even more serious for Sangege.
It is a great gift to give birth and raise oneself. Besides hurting the body and feeling sorry for the child in the belly, what good can it do? Remember the guilt and love you feel for Sangege now. When you give birth to a little one in the future, remember your preference in the past few years.
Don't dislike Sangege's shortcomings, then you can be worthy of her..."
Qi Fujin listened, shed tears, and said: "If one day, I just take my keys and account books, let me make a display, so as not to be a confused person and make the child feel uncomfortable."
The seventh elder brother looked at Qi Fujin and nodded...

Every couple has their own way of getting along.
The young couples here have the same look, and the "old couples" over there at Nanwu Institute have another look.
The third elder brother here asked San Fujin with some curiosity: "What do you think of Thirteen Fujin? The dowry is meager, and the natal family does not have a title, so you don't have enough confidence, right?"
San Fujin nodded and said, "Well, to be honest, I didn't say a few words from the beginning to the end. It's what she should do with her status and her duties."
The third elder brother gloated and said: "What if the thirteenth elder brother seems to be favored again? He is just preparing for the prince. Naturally, the marriage can only be selected from those families who are close to the prince. The bigger ones can be chosen.
Pick out the Zhaojia clan..."
Speaking of this, he said: "If the thirteenth brother were a few years younger, maybe the marriage would be more honorable. The princess has two girls..."
San Fujin shook his head after hearing this and said: "There's a difference in age. The older one is only eleven or two, and the younger one is eight or nine years old..."
After hearing this, the third elder brother raised his eyebrows and said: "Isn't that the 46th draft? Speaking of which, he is about the same age as the fifteenth elder brother."
The prince is not kind to him, and the third elder brother is not beaten back in vain.
He was already prepared with both hands.
If you don't allow yourself to be the assistant to the East Palace, you will just "sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight".
When the eldest brother and the prince are both injured, wouldn't it be my turn next time?
San Fujin was stunned for a moment and said, "You can't, right? There are two princes, Fujin, in the same family. How can we praise him like this?"
It is true that Dong E's family produced two princes, Fujin, but they were all branches and were just cousins.
The third elder brother said: "Why not? Among the princes below, a thirteenth elder brother was pulled out and he was one of the prince's assistants. We must prepare another one just in case. The fifteenth elder brother respects the prince and gives him guidance."
Isn’t it just right to marry Fujin from the Guerjia family..."
