Chapter 1669: Generous (asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket)
Even if Shu Shu had heard about the Zhang family's affairs, she asked about the news about the children.
"Is the eldest brother thinner? Is the second elder brother used to living in the county prince's mansion? Where is the eldest elder brother?"
Cao Shun said: "Before I came out, I went to pay my respects to the county lord. The county lord also told me that the weight of the big frame was not lost, but it did not increase, but it was drawn out and was one inch taller. The second elder brother's place was made up of ten
Fujin took it with him personally and came back without making any fuss. The elder brother was busy teaching the younger brother from the county prince's palace how to speak..."
Brother Ninth said from the side: "My little brother can talk?"
The little brother of the Prince of Dunjun is not yet one year old, but he is only nine months old.
Cao Shun shook his head and said, "I just say 'babble', but I don't know how to call people."
Brother Jiu turned to Shu Shu and said, "It's almost time. I heard from my mother-in-law that Lao Shi started talking early when he was a child, and he will start talking in about ten months..."
In his memory, the tenth elder brother also talked a lot when he was a child, but since he moved to the palace and lived in his place, he became less talkative. When the imperial concubine passed away, he became even less talkative.
Shu Shu said: "Say it quickly..."
Cao Shun also talked about the people and things brought from the capital.
I brought a few shopkeepers and waiters with me, but they brought a certain number of things, not a lot.
The Mongolian princes who came to court will leave Jehol at the end of July, and the Holy Emperor will also set off back to Beijing.
Even if the shop here is opened, it will only take ten months.
So Cao Shun mainly brought tea, the pastry shop brought various hard candies, flaky candies and soft candies, the Rouge shop brought cosmetic boxes, and the restaurant brought a lot of cooked hot pot bases.
.
This is all about making quick money.
It is easier to lay out and easier to put away.
Brother Jiu said: "Leave two carts of tea, ten sets of makeup boxes from the rouge shop, and two hundred kilograms of sugar. Let's sell the rest in the shop. Don't delay. People from the capital have to work harder."
The days, in addition to the regular salary, will be supplemented with a salary, and then be converted back to Beijing..."
Cao Shun took note of it and went down to make arrangements.
Shu Shu said to Brother Ninth: "Buy some more from Brother Thirteen's cloth shop, and some from Brother Four's incense shop. It's enough to give as gifts..."
This is a return gift prepared for the previous birthday gifts of the princess and the eldest daughter.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Let's seal some more money. The annual salary of the princess and the eldest daughter is too small, and money is more convenient than others."
Although in terms of rank, Princess Heshuo is regarded as the same as Prince Duoluo, but their annual salary is very different.
The annual salary for those married to Mongolian princesses such as Princess Chunxi, Princess Rongxian and the third princess is four hundred taels of silver and fifteen bolts of silk.
Princess Heshuo who married into the capital was like Jiugege, and her annual salary was three hundred taels of silver and three hundred dendrobium rice.
Although they have other dowries and a rent-collecting house in the capital, their income is still considerable in a year.
Compared with the wealth that the prince received when he opened his mansion, it was only 10% to 20% of it.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, then each family will add a few more coins."
Nowadays, a piece of silver is generally worth more than fifty taels.
A few envelopes of silver are two to three hundred taels.
With their status, even if they want to give away silver, it is not appropriate to give too much.
Otherwise it would look outrageous.
Two days later, it was the day for the prince to treat guests.
If you don't invite the female relatives, you have nothing to do with Shu Shu.
Before Brother Jiu went out, Shu Shu gave him a bowl of minced meat and stewed eggs to cushion his stomach.
When the time comes, you don’t have to go hungry if the food doesn’t suit your taste buds.
Brother Jiu put a few more hawthorn meatballs in his purse and said, "You won't be able to drink at that time. No matter how little I drink, I will still have to drink two rounds."
Mongolians are not happy without wine.
Although there were four princes-in-law at the banquet, everyone knew that the hosts and guests were the three Mongolians, and the five-figure princes Buxi made up the number.
After hearing this, Shu Shu asked someone to heat up a bowl of milk for him.
Brother Jiu drank another half a bowl of milk and filled his stomach with water.
Brother Thirteen is already waiting at the door.
"Brother Ninth, do you want to tell the eunuch leader over there to replace the wine with water?"
The Thirteenth Brother is also worried that the Ninth Brother is too drunk.
Brother Jiu said: "Just drink the first two rounds, who can drink me?"
In the thirty-seventh year, in the Horqin tribe, because Princess Duanmin's son insisted on making Brother Jiu drink, they all were dismissed from Taiji and their future was ruined.
The thirteenth brother was not so reassured and said: "The eldest brother-in-law is from Horqin and will know about this. The other brothers-in-law may not know about this."
Brother Jiu thought about it and said, "After that, I'll explain it to others first, so as not to show any timidity."
The two brothers talked and came to the front.
The two courtyards in front are the residences of the eldest brother and the fourth brother.
The two men also came out and were talking.
It turns out that the eldest brother recently led people to hunt down wild animals in the mountains around the palace, and killed many tigers, leopards, wolves, jackals, etc., and obtained four tiger skins, four sets of tiger bones, and four tiger whips.
One tiger skin was used to honor the emperor, one to honor the Queen Mother, one to honor Concubine Hui, and one was given to Dafu Jin.
The tiger whip and tiger bones were made into dry goods by the accompanying imperial physician.
The eldest brother plans to give the fourth brother a tiger whip and half a tiger bone.
"After returning to Beijing, make some wine and drink it slowly. There will always be times when it will be useful..."
The eldest brother said.
At Fourth Brother's age, it's too early to use tiger whip.
However, as a prince, he has many wives and concubines in his backyard, so he should always be prepared when he needs them.
Brother Si's house has received the tiger bone wine from Jiubele's house, so he knows it is a good thing.
Drink some every autumn and winter, and your body and bones will become stronger.
As for the tiger whip...
He didn't refuse either.
"Thank you, brother. I happened to save some spices. When my eldest niece's date is decided, my brother will add makeup to her..."
Spices are good things. Nowadays, when a noble girl gets married, there must be medicinal herbs and spices in her dowry.
The eldest brother wanted to thank him at first, but then felt blocked again and said: "Our eldest brother is still young, so we have to wait until he is eighteen or nine to talk about it."
The eldest princess of Zhijun Prince's Mansion is fifteen years old this year, in his hairpin years.
If you were placed in an ordinary family, you would have to choose a son-in-law and a good life. However, in recent years, the royal family has tended to marry late, and it is common for them to stay until they are eighteen or nineteen.
The fourth elder brother is also a loving father. Thinking of his own second brother, he understands the eldest elder brother's reluctance and said: "Yeah, don't worry, just leave before twenty."
He only has this daughter, and even if he is the daughter of Princess, she is the apple of his eye.
The fourth elder brother thought that the children in the house were either born by Fujin or Li Gege.
He had already made a plan to choose a husband for his daughter from among the sons and nephews of the Ulla family.
When the time comes, there will be this kind of relationship between wives and concubines, and the children will be closer to each other in the future.
When the ninth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came over, they saw that the two elder brothers looked astonished.
Brother Jiu joked: "What are you two talking about? You frowned, scratched your head and couldn't bear to part with it. It doesn't look like you are going to have a meal, but rather like you are going to collect a debt..."
The eldest elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "It's Chesou. He was thinking about whether to give you some good things!"
After hearing this, Brother Jiu immediately became interested and said with a smile: "Brother, what good things can we share? We have a share in this meeting, how can we not share it? Who am I? I am your good brother!"
The eldest brother looked him up and down and said: "Then I'll give you half a tiger bone. I'll give you the rest. If you don't make up for it, I'll cheat you..."
Brother Jiu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and said: "Brother, you are looking down on me! Why can't you make up for it? No, I will give my brother a share..."
He has also beaten a tiger, so he naturally knows that the most valuable thing on a tiger, besides the skin, is the tiger whip, followed by the tiger bones.
Regardless of whether to make up for it or not, good things cannot be missed.
I went back and made wine and gave it away to people.
He is young and does not need this, but he still has his old father-in-law.
There is also old Ama, who secretly paid tribute, which is considered the same courtesy.
Otherwise, even if you make real money every year, you won’t be able to bear it.
The eldest elder brother wanted to say more, but the ninth elder brother had already said: "It's agreed, we will give it to the younger brother, and the younger brother will save it later."
The eldest elder brother has always been generous. Seeing that the ninth elder brother really wanted it, he nodded and said: "Here it is, just take it easy and don't use it carelessly. Don't show off."
Brother Jiu nodded hurriedly and said: "Brother, don't worry, big brother, don't worry..."
He keeps himself clean and is devoted to Fujin, so he doesn't need these extraneous things.
Brother Thirteen was listening, a little embarrassed.
He actually likes his elder brother very much.
The eldest brother has the air of an elder brother and is generous and straightforward.
It's just that in his current situation, it's not appropriate for him to be too close to his eldest brother.
The eldest brother did not leave behind the thirteenth brother, and said: "Your ninth brother said that anyone who meets you will have a share, so the remaining share will be yours."
Brother Thirteen did not hesitate and said: "Thank you, brother. I heard that you are collecting leather goods. My younger brother has also saved two cars these days. I will pick some useful ones for you later."
The eldest brother said: "The relationship is good. If you have good wild duck feathers, leave some for me."
"Uh-huh……"
Thirteenth Brother wrote it down.
The Imperial Courtyard is just outside the palace wall.
The brothers walked into the palace and went to the prince's residence.
Buxi has arrived, but the three Mongolian princes have not arrived yet.
