No one knows whether it is Brother or Ge Ge until the fruit is ripe.
Shu Shu always knew how to calm herself down, so she worried about it for a moment and then let it go.
However, there is a happy event in the Prince Shuncheng's Mansion. The daughter of the former Prince and the sister of the current Prince will leave the cabinet next month. The invitation was sent to Jiubele Mansion.
The person who came to deliver the message was the chief minister of the Shuncheng Palace, and here Cao Shun came to entertain him.
Cao Shun was puzzled.
Because the pox epidemic has not completely disappeared, all the people who were planning to marry in the capital in the past two months have postponed their weddings and simplified everything.
Unexpectedly, Prince Shuncheng's palace came in the opposite direction. He had never heard of the clan daughter's marriage proposal before, so he immediately decided on the wedding date, which was a bit inappropriate.
Cao Shun thought carefully and asked: "The sixth day of the twelfth lunar month sounds like a good day. Is this the day chosen by Qin Tian Jian?"
The long history was also difficult to describe, saying: "Our old master chose the day. He said he had been feeling unwell for several months and wanted to rush out, so he rushed to have a drink."
Cao Shun: "..."
I remember that at the beginning of winter this year, the Prince of Jige County was critically ill. As a result, two months had passed and he was still able to arrange the marriage of his children.
This disease is so critical that it is unrealistic.
He answered the post with a confused look on his face: "We are expecting a baby and it is inconvenient to go out."
As for the ninth elder brother, Cao Shun did not mention it.
Who knows when Brother Jiu will "recover"? If he is still recuperating at home, then naturally he will not need to come to the house for a meal.
Chang Shi also knew that Brother Jiu had been ill recently, so he told Cao Shun a few words about the family of the new in-law, drank half a cup of tea, and left.
Cao Shun looked strange and personally sent the post to the main courtyard.
This is also a kiss on top of a kiss, right?
Then where will Master Jiu go to have a drink?
He has been with Ninth Prince for several years, and he can tell that anyone who has anything to do with Fujin's family, Ninth Age, will give him some dignity.
As for clan relatives and the like, in the eyes of Brother Jiu, it is impossible to say that they should be ranked behind in-laws.
Brother Jiu asked Cao Shun to come into the room to talk, and Shu Shu was also there.
Hearing that Prince Shuncheng was marrying off his daughter, Shu Shu asked: "Whose family will you marry? Is it the population of the Prince's family, or someone from outside?"
Since the royal palace handles the marriage, it means marrying to the Eight Banners. If it is Fu Meng, the clan family prepares the dowry and handles the marriage.
Cao Shun had just understood it and said: "She is from Zhenghongqi. She is not married to anyone else. She is married to someone else. She is married to Serqi, Fujin's clan brother and brother of Garli, the governor of Shanxi."
After hearing this, Shu Shu lost her smile.
Brother Jiu saw this and asked, "Why don't you remember this person? Is there something wrong?"
There are many people in the Dong'e family, and what Brother Jiu remembers clearly is the ceremony between Peng Chun and his son and the head of the second room.
Shu Shu said: "I came during the wedding. I was sitting with other clan members. I probably didn't remember him. When I returned to the banquet, I reduced the number of people and didn't invite him."
After saying this, she told the reason why she was unhappy.
"Sel Qi is neither good at literature nor martial arts. He usually works with Ga Li doing odd jobs. The key is that he is in his thirties this year. His eldest daughter participated in the Eight Banners Draft last year, but it was not the one from Yuqing Palace. She was sent away after staying in the palace.
The one from the palace..."
In the 40th Eight Banner Draft, two girls from Dong E's family were kept until the last round and stayed in the palace for the night.
As a result, one of them made a fool of himself and was sent out of the palace.
How big of a deal is it for an old dandy in his thirties to ask to marry the daughter of the royal family as his stepmother?
This battle is nothing but the power of Garli.
But speaking outside, they are all Dong E's from the Zhenghongqi family, and they also know that they are all cousins.
When Cao Shun went out, Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "It is the old prince who took the money and sold his daughter. Galli is now the governor of Shanxi, which is the richest place in the north."
Although I have never met that eldest daughter, she is the niece of the ninth elder brother and a descendant of the Aisin Gioro family.
When Brother Jiu heard about the choice of groom, he also felt shabby and said: "It's true that he is a thief because he is too old to die. It has been 20 or 30 years since the prince has been killed, why is he still not dead?"
The key is that the drive to amass money is frightening.
The Prince of Shuncheng is the owner of the small banner of the Zhenghong Banner, and the first king is also the founding king, so there is no shortage of royal palace property.
After the old prince was deposed, his sons became young princes one after another, and the power of the palace was still in his hands.
How far has it come to selling your daughter?
Mentioning this, Brother Jiu thought of a possibility and felt horrified, saying: "The death of the previous young princes will not be the work of the old prince, right?"
Three or four in a row, none of them survived to get married.
Shu Shu thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It shouldn't happen. If it really happens, I can't hide it from the emperor."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. In the past few years, the Zongren Mansion has uncovered several cases, and it was only the perpetrators who came forward to start a thorough investigation. In the Shun Cheng Palace, there is no perpetrator..."
Besides, this father and son, let alone killing them in other ways, even if they were killed directly, they would not have to pay for their lives.
Shu Shu: "..."
She wanted to be clear of guilt and didn't want to think that people were so bad, but it was too much of a coincidence.
It can only be said that even if the old prince did not arrange for someone to kill his son, he did not arrange for someone to take care of his son, otherwise he would not have been crowned one after another.
Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "When do you plan to go to the Yamen? If you want to rest for a longer time, you don't have to force yourself to go to the county prince's house to have a drink, just let Cao Shun go on your behalf."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's hard to rest until then. At most, we can rest until the end of the month, otherwise it would be ridiculous."
For a minor cold, half a month's rest is enough.
Besides, during the Chinese New Year, governors and yamen from all over the country sent people to Beijing to run their offices, and he also wanted to see them.
Since it is a happy event for Prince Shuncheng, I have to tell Madam Uncle.
It's unpleasant to think about Mrs. Bo's dowry over there, but Mrs. Bo is her aunt, so if she really ignores her, outsiders will say that Mrs. Bo is heartless, and even Dong E's family will be criticized.
Shu Shu took the post and went to Ning'an Hall.
Rarely, Ni Guzhu was quiet and peaceful.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, she didn't run over as usual, but looked at Shu Shu, her little mouth moved, and her tears fell down.
This little grievance...
Shu Shu looked away, not feeling distressed, but rather wanting to laugh unkindly.
It's not that she doesn't care about the relationship between mother and daughter, but she knows that Mrs. Bo will not let Niguzhu be wronged. If Niguzhu is taught a lesson by Mrs. Bo, then it must be her own mischief.
Ni Guzhu was originally waiting for Shu Shu to come over to comfort him, but after waiting for a long time before anyone came near, his face became a little unbearable, and he cried out with a "wow" sound.
Shu Shu glanced at Mrs. Bo and hesitated whether to withdraw.
Every time she disciplined Ni Guzhu, Mrs. Bo didn't interfere; now it was Mrs. Bo who disciplined Ni Guzhu, and Shu Shu didn't want to interfere either.
Mrs. Bo's face became helpless. She looked at Ni Guzhu and said, "Your second brother has said that he won't let you catch the goldfish, and you promised well. Why do you insist on fishing it out behind someone else's back? The goldfish is dead.
Your second brother didn't cry yet, but you cried first. When I come back, I said you were wrong. Did I wrong you?"
Seeing that there was no one to support him, Ni Guzhu stopped crying and choked up: "That's right, but I don't want to lose the persimmons to my second brother."
Mrs. Bo was unmoved and said: "But your second brother didn't want you to catch the goldfish, so you caught it too. You killed his beloved thing. It's fair to compensate him for your beloved thing. It can't be because you first
If you cry, it’s your fault.”
Ni Guzhu's tears came out again. He wiped his eyes with his chubby hands and choked: "I didn't expect the goldfish to die... so I fed a few Shaqima..."
Shu Shu sat by the kang and understood the cause and effect.
Sure enough, in front of reasonable elders, no naughty child's grievances are real grievances.
Shu Shu also knew that those goldfish were Akdan's favorites, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried and said: "Ah Mou, is Akdan crying?"
The uncle said: "The circles under my eyes are red. If Ni Guzhu hadn't cried first, I would have cried."
Shu Shu looked at Ni Guzhu and also wanted to discipline the child.
However, Madam Uncle has already said everything she needs to say, and there is no need to repeat it.
She can only let her have a long memory.
So her most beloved big red agate persimmon must be paid for.
Seeing Shu Shu holding the post in her hand, the uncle said: "Whose post is this? Why are you having a drink at this time?"
You know, not only children have died due to the pox epidemic in the past two months, but also some biological elderly people.
Shu Shu then told the story that Prince Shuncheng wanted to marry his sister.
Mrs. Bo's face was also ugly and she said: "Since it's not a post sent by Prince Fujin, you don't need to pay attention to it."
The Prince of Shuncheng County and Brother Jiu are just ordinary clansmen, and they have no personal connections. It is because she is here that they have an extra layer of relationship.
The county prince and his wife are juniors. If they really want to invite someone, they should come in person.
Especially since Mrs. Bo's uncle lives here, even if this post is not sent to Mrs. Bo, it should not be so.
Shu Shu said: "Jiuye said just now that the banquet should be organized by the old prince. The prince was not happy, so he refused to ask the county prince Fujin to come forward to arrange the banquet. This marriage... is a bit shabby..."
By the time the official day came, everyone knew who the groom would be, and those who were questioned were the Duke and Duchess of Shuncheng County.
As she spoke, she told her that her eldest daughter was going to marry Serech as her stepmother.
Mrs. Bo's face turned pale with anger.
"This is a sweet thing. I'm addicted to selling my daughter. I don't even have dignity anymore..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "It's just outrageous. If you don't want to marry into a noble family, what's the difficulty in finding a candidate of the right age in this family?"
It would be fine if he was given to a duke, a marquis, an uncle, etc. as a step-mother. No matter how he was on the inside, at least his face would be bright, and the marriage would sound respectable. In the end, he chose such a candidate.
Serech is not white, he has a collar on his body, it is just a collar.
Although Ni Guzhu didn't understand what the two of them were talking about, he could see that Mrs. Bo was angry. He came over and lay on Mrs. Bo's knees, raised his head, and said in a sweet voice: "Ma Ma, don't be angry, Ni Guzhu is good.
of……"
Mrs. Bo looked down at the little chubby girl, and her heart almost melted.
She forgot all about the reputation of Prince Shuncheng and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, Ni Guzhu will be obedient and Mama will not be angry."
Ni Guzhu burst into laughter and said a little shyly: "Then if I give the little persimmon to the second brother, can the second brother not be angry?"
Mrs. Bo thought for a while and said: "Go over this afternoon and see for yourself whether your second brother is angry or not. If he is still angry, you should apologize well and make him stop being angry."
"Uh-huh……"
Ni Guzhu nodded obediently and said: "Don't be angry, everyone..."
