Chapter 1802 I can’t bear it (rolling and asking for monthly votes)
When the Fourth Elder Brother heard the Ninth Elder Brother mentioning the Shuncheng Palace, he remembered the invitations received in the palace and his face drooped.
Even if she is a clan daughter without a title, she is still a clan daughter.
Selling marriage!
It’s not just the people of Prince Shuncheng who are being thrown away.
The Fourth Elder Brother looked at the Ninth Elder Brother and said, "Have you ever talked about kissing the son of the Qi Xi family? Why don't you think about getting married to Prince Shuncheng?"
Because this "buyer" was a member of the Dong E family, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The Ninth Age Brother has been influenced by his ears and eyes, and now he also understands the principle that blood does not multiply when close relatives get married.
However, this does not exist in Dutong Mansion and Prince Shuncheng Mansion. They are separated by several generations.
The Dong E family did not get closer to the other side, they were just looking for pigs to look after, and they didn't want to get involved in the trouble of Prince Shun Cheng's palace.
"Fourth brother, Prince Shuncheng's free-range children, who dares to marry their family? Not only the old prince is greedy for money, but the younger one is also ignorant. He even planned a dowry for the county lord before. What do you think this is? If the county lord himself
I'm happy to pay it back, but the county owner has been married for more than thirty years and will be buried in the Dong E family's blessed land and enjoy the incense of the Dong E family..."
Brother Jiu said.
Everyone is close and distant, so in the eyes of the fourth elder brother, the ninth elder brother and his wife are naturally closer, and he also feels that Heshuncheng's palace is abominable.
Although Mrs. Bo is the wife of the Dong E family, seeing that she can live with her niece, she knows that she did not choose an heir. In addition to the title, she should also leave the dowry to her niece.
The fourth elder brother also felt that it was disgusting for Prince Shuncheng to worry about the dowry of his married daughter.
Dutong Mansion and Prince Shuncheng's Mansion are separated not only by a concubine, but also by the eldest sister of the county prince. It is indeed not suitable for them to get married again.
"I've seen Master Ba, please say hello to Master Ba..."
There was movement at the door, and He Yuzhu in the main room loudly greeted the eighth prince.
The fourth elder brother and the ninth elder brother looked at each other and both silenced.
In the hall, the eighth prince hesitated.
He was upset in his heart, forgetting that Brother Jiu was also walking around the household.
In the house, Brother Jiu got off the kang again and looked at the door.
The door curtain moved, and the eighth prince came in from outside.
"Fourth brother, ninth brother..."
"Myna..."
Brother Ninth behaves like a normal younger brother.
Sitting on the kang, the fourth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother and said, "Are you here to find me?"
The eighth prince nodded and said, "I remembered something and came to ask you."
Brother Si stood up and said, "Then let's go over and talk."
The eighth elder brother nodded and followed the fourth elder brother out.
Brother Jiu rolled his eyes and couldn't sit still in the room, so he put on the end cap and took He Yuzhu out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It's like no one can talk without a brother.
When he arrived at the main room, Su Peisheng came in with a tea tray, poured tea for the fourth and eighth elder brothers, and then went out to wait outside.
"What's wrong?"
Brother Si asked.
The eighth elder brother had an uneasy look on his face and said: "Fourth brother, Xiaotang Mountain will be opened next year, and then the Hanlin will erect a monument..."
The fourth elder brother listened and said, "Is there something wrong?"
That was Brother Ninth's filial piety. Although Brother Ninth was kind enough to win over the Crown Prince and the rest of the princes, it is well known who did the hard work.
Everyone owes Brother Jiu a favor.
Plus that huge profit, it’s two favors.
The eighth elder brother said with panic: "But my fifth brother Yinzi is back, and everyone will be up there by then, except me..."
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother couldn't help but be stunned and said: "How come there is no you? Didn't the fifth elder brother deduct ten thousand taels of silver?"
Eighth Prince: "..."
Seeing that the eighth elder brother was confused, the fourth elder brother was a little unsure. Could it be that the fifth elder brother had changed his mind?
If this is the case, the Eighth Prince will really feel uneasy.
The Eighth Prince felt embarrassed and thought of this incident and said, "It was because I was concerned about it, but I forgot about it for a while."
The fourth elder brother didn't say anything, he just looked at the eighth elder brother deeply.
Concern leads to chaos?
Is it too much precaution?
When I mentioned the palace in Xiaotangshan, I thought I had been tricked by the ninth and fifth elder brothers.
The fourth elder brother didn't want to think too much of the eighth elder brother, but the eighth elder brother's panic today was a bit like "using the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman".
The eighth elder brother saw that the fourth elder brother was unhappy, and sighed and said: "Three or four years have passed, but it seems like half a lifetime has passed. I am so confused that I can't remember many things clearly."
The fourth elder brother also knew that the eighth elder brother had had a hard time in the past few years, and said: "It's all in the past, and everything will be fine in the future."
The eighth elder brother nodded and said: "I have regretted it for a long time. No wonder they all said that they should cultivate themselves and manage their families. At that time, I wanted to be stronger than I should have been. I only wanted to do a good job. I didn't take the housework to heart, and I didn't restrain myself properly.
Guoluoluo family..."
The fourth elder brother wanted to frown when he heard "Guo Luo Luo Shi", but he still held it back.
He knew that Eighth Prince was prone to overthinking.
The eighth elder brother continued: "Not only have I changed, Guo Luoluo has also changed her temperament. I was sick a few days ago, and she took care of me with all her clothes..."
The fourth elder brother felt a little irritated.
How can a person who should be "grounded" come over to take care of someone without the eighth prince's nod?
What does Eighth Prince want to do when he deceives himself and others like this?
Si Age was extremely disgusted with Guo Luo Luo.
He had long known that the noble daughter of the Eight Banners was arrogant, but Guo Luoluo's behavior back then was not arrogant, but unruly.
The Eighth Prince paused and said: "Nowadays, in many places in the Eight Banners, Han customs and concubines are clearly differentiated. Fu and Jin are no longer wives. It is inconvenient for the Fucha family to travel outside..."
The eighth elder brother told the truth about his difficulties and did not treat the fourth elder brother as an outsider. The fourth elder brother's irritability became much less.
This is indeed the case. Now the concubine is not a concubine, but he is no longer a legitimate son, but has a new identity, "concubine".
The origin is not that the Eight Banners adopted Han customs, but that the emperor's father first changed the rules in order to limit the titles of the clan. The children of the concubine and the legitimate children were no longer ennobled as one, but were reduced to two levels of nobility.
For this reason, the princes of various palaces no longer walked around like serious hostesses like in the past.
In fact, even though they were concubines, they were of the highest rank and had a noble status, but they were inferior in front of other princes, Fujin.
The eighth prince doesn't like the Fucha family walking outside. In the final analysis, he is very strong and doesn't want the female family members of the Eight Beile Mansion to always be at the bottom in front of the royal sisters-in-law.
The fourth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother and said: "You are too impatient. Even if you really have this idea and want to let Guo Luoluo come out, you should ask Khan Ama first."
The eighth prince has been in panic these past few days. It is for this reason that he regrets "killing first and then reporting later".
The fourth elder brother looked at the eighth elder brother, thinking about the petty friendship between the two, and admonished him: "You are not an impatient person, why are you so impatient now? Slow things down will make things easier, and you went to the imperial palace specifically to serve Guo Luoluo.
If you plead for mercy, Khan Amma will be unhappy, so why not let my concubine find a chance to ask the emperor's father."
The eighth elder brother was enlightened after hearing this.
He was really anxious.
If the emperor's father is displeased again because of this, then the gain outweighs the loss.
He said: "I was impatient before and only thought about the new year's favor exchanges..."

Housekeeping by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The twelfth elder brother was talking about the supply of Dongzi vegetables in the palace: "There are several more kinds this year, and more people are supplying them. Fujin and I each have two kilograms of Dongzi vegetables every day."
Last year, the number of dishes in Dongzi was low. The number of dishes here was halved by the Twelve Princes, and only the main seats in the harem were served.
Here, the twelfth elder brother must not only remember the kindness of Grandma Su Ma, but also the kindness of the noble man.
It was okay at Aunt Sumama's place. As early as the Empress Dowager's death, daily necessities were provided according to the concubine's position. However, this is not the case here.
Even though the twelfth elder brother works in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is not qualified to intervene in the supply of the imperial kitchen.
This year, there are more Dongzi dishes in supply, and the supply in the palace has also been adjusted, and the nobles' status is also available every day.
Brother Ninth Brother didn't think much about it. He just thought that they didn't like chicken and duck in winter and just wanted to eat vegetarian food. He said: "You really have forgotten the greenhouse at Ninth Brother's house? How many dongzi dishes do you want? I don't have them."
How many things are there?”
The twelfth elder brother smiled and said: "When I leave the palace in the future, I will have to ask for food from the ninth brother's family. I don't need to do it now. It will be troublesome to transport things to the palace."
The ninth elder brother thought of all the elder brothers who had been dispatched, and then thought about the second elder brother of Cheng County Prince's Palace. It seemed that he was born in the thirty-seventh year. The second son of the Fourth Beile Palace and the legitimate son of the Fifth Beile Palace were born in the thirty-ninth year.
.
These three younger brothers will go to school together with their eldest brother Fengsheng and Akdan, and they will also need to stay in the palace.
Before that, the two married princes, the Twelfth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, would have to make room for their grandchildren. Think about it, they should move out by the end of forty-three years at the latest.
Brother Jiu said: "You will know when you come out to live. It is better to live outside."
There are also more expectations on the face of the twelfth elder brother.
After the brothers finished chatting, Brother Jiu thought of business.
"I heard that Li Xu is planning to open a cashmere woolen factory in Suzhou. What's going on?"
Brother Jiu asked.
This is another thing mentioned in Sun Jin's letter, that is, Li Xu sent people to Jiangning Weaving Mansion and met with several Suzhou weaving surnames, and what he mentioned was the cashmere woolen field.
The ninth elder brother is here now. In addition to visiting the twelfth elder brother, he also wants to ask about this matter.
The twelfth elder brother said: "I heard someone mention that the cashmere cloth in Jiangning Weaving House was in short supply this year. Before it was sent to the customs, it was sold out by salt merchants. There are also weavers who returned to Jiangning from Tongzhou.
Originally, some of them were hired by Cao Zhizao from Suzhou Zhizao Mansion."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt proud at first.
"It's different from the north. The four seasons are not distinct. They don't need to wear cotton clothes in the winter, but silk and satin don't keep out the cold. In the past, rich people only wore Western cloth, but now we can also weave it ourselves.
As for cashmere, this material is finer and softer than Western woolen cloth, and many people who buy it specify it."
But after feeling proud, Brother Jiu was still unhappy.
Li Xu, this bitch, still has the nerve to start a cashmere business, but did he forget to put his tongue in front of the emperor?
But Fan Ninth Brother was still in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so he immediately tried to stop him.
Unfortunately, he is not in the Ministry of Internal Affairs now.
If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political goals.
Thinking that Li Xu had given orders to build the first cashmere woolen factory in Suzhou and made money through meritorious deeds, Brother Jiu couldn't bear it...
