Chapter 1810 Suspicious (asking for double monthly votes)
Mrs. Bo glanced at Shu Shu, then at Ni Guzhu, who was full of expectations, and said to Brother Jiu: "You came here without having dinner? How about eating some together?"
Brother Jiu glanced at the girl in his arms, nodded and said, "Then let's try your food."
As they said this, looking at the lunch box in Hazel's hand, the couple knew that the grandparents and grandchildren did not have much food for the night.
Ging Guo was smart and went out to the dining room early to pick up food.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu always had very little food for dinner, only four dishes in one pot and one steamed wheat dish.
After everything was laid out, Ni Guzhu sat down next to Mrs. Bo obediently.
Brother Jiu and Shu Shu sat on the left and right sides.
Ni Guzhu was satisfied as he ate the shrimp cakes.
She still remembered what she said and handed a shrimp cake to Shu Shu's bowl.
Shu Shu didn't hand it back, and gave half to brother Jiu, and gave Ni Guzhu a piece of shrimp meat siomai.
After eating the shrimp meat inside, Ni Guzhu's face was full of surprise, and her eyes were glued to the small steamer.
Shu Shu did not pinch her.
She had eaten a lot just now.
Ni Guzhu knew the rules and saw that the elders were not giving it to him, so he changed his attention and went to eat other things.
During the meal, only Ni Guzhu ate happily, while the others were quiet.
When Ni Guzhu finished eating and saw that Mrs. Bo couldn't get up, she took Mrs. Bo's hand and said, "Ma Ma, I want to take a walk..."
Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu.
Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu and said to Ni Guzhu: "Amma will take you for a walk and let you talk to Mama."
Ni Guzhu looked at Madam Bo, then at Shu Shu. Seeing that neither of them spoke, he nodded to Brother Jiu, put down Madam Bo's hand, and took Brother Jiu's hand.
Madam Bo then stood up and said to Shu Shu: "Go to the east room!"
The couple walked to the East Room and sat down. Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu, waiting for her to speak.
Shu Shu didn't hesitate and talked about the events of last night's wedding in a few words.
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo's face was more angry than sad.
"You are really seeking death. Your Majesty is merciful and the punishment is too light!"
This is about Leerjin.
Mrs. Bo didn’t comment a word about Ergege.
She has lived for most of her life and has seen everything.
Shu Shu knew that any words of comfort at this time were empty, so he only said: "The second room is in mourning, and I will ask Cao Shun to express condolences tomorrow. On your side..."
The uncle said, "Just add a portion for me."
Shu Shu nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu and said: "Such a shameful thing as selling a marriage has happened again and again, but Bumuba and his wife are not generous people. I plan to spend five thousand taels of silver. You can help me buy some gold."
Prepare your head and face, and add makeup there specifically in the future."
Shu Shu agreed again.
Leerjin was trapped, so you no longer have to worry about those eldest daughters being sold into marriage.
But as Mrs. Bo said, it is not optimistic that the brother and sister-in-law will take care of these unique dowries.
Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu and said: "Don't worry about me, that's all I can do for them. Everyone has his own destiny. Like Guizhen, if you stand up for yourself, you can live a good life even in bad days; if
If you can’t stand up, you can’t live a good life.”
Seeing that Mrs. Bo was open-minded, Shu Shu felt relieved.
She knew that Mrs. Bo was half sad and half angry, so she whispered: "Ah Mou, look at these royal palaces now. Except for Prince Jian who grew up in the palace, all the others are in a hurry. The county princes are mediocre, which is not necessarily a bad thing."
Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu and said, "Just let me take it easy. Whether things are good over there or not is none of my business. You two, there is no need to get close to them in the future. Just treat them as ordinary clan members."
Shu Shu nodded.
That's what she planned too.
I have dealt with Prince Shuncheng and his wife twice, and they are really not pleasant people.
In the west room, Ni Guzhu had finished walking and looked at the door, ready to move.
Brother Jiu looked amused and said, "We've only been apart for a while, and you want to find Eni?"
Ni Guzhu shook his head and said, "I'm looking for Mama. I'm afraid Mama might forget to take a walk."
The father and daughter were talking, and Shu Shu and Mrs. Bo had already come over.
Mrs. Bo looked at Brother Jiu and said, "It's getting late. You should go back early and rest. Walk slower on the road."
Brother Jiu nodded and left Ning'antang with Shu Shu.
"Is the County Lord feeling uncomfortable?"
Brother Jiu asked.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, I didn't say anything, but I don't worry about the remaining nieces. They took out five thousand taels of silver and asked me to prepare gold for my head and face."
The other eldest daughters in Haidian range from teenagers to infants, and their ages are much different.
It will take more than ten years until they all get married.
This is why Mrs. Bo asked Shu Shu to prepare golden-headed noodles instead of waiting for them to get married.
This was because her old man was worried that she would not live to that age, so she entrusted it to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu felt a little sad when she thought about this.
Brother Jiu said: "I have discovered that the better a person is, the easier it is for him to feel uncomfortable..."
What kind of feelings can there be for a niece who is cold and cold and has never met her?
But here, Mrs. Shun Cheng, the prince and his wife, came to flatter her and came in search of money, but none of them coaxed her out of her money.
With a life at stake, the old lady relented...

Chengjun Prince's Mansion, the main room.
Since the death of the eldest daughter, it was the first time for the third elder brother to stay with the main wife.
They are an old married couple, so naturally they didn’t come here just for Dunlun.
The third elder brother just wanted to ask San Fujin whether increasing his life span would be detrimental to his personal ethics.
First, the vacancy was not filled for three years, and later he lost his position as clan leader because of other affairs. This was obviously disgusted by the emperor's father.
"Did my uncle have his hand in the lawsuit before and after Xindali died of illness?"
The third elder brother thought about it all afternoon, but he couldn't think of any immoral things Zeng Shou had done that made the emperor displeased him.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds, and all kinds of evil and sexual immorality come first.
If it's about women, the emperor shouldn't care about it.
What the imperial father cannot tolerate is unfilial piety.
San Fujin shook his head and said, "It's just that I didn't restrain my younger brother. But Amma was still there at the time, so it was not his turn to discipline his younger brother."
The third elder brother told him about the transfer of houses by the head of the Dong'e family, and said, "Why did Khan Ama punish him so harshly?"
San Fujin was already shocked and said, "Is it possible that my eldest brother was responsible for Serqi's marriage?"
The couple looked at each other.
The third elder brother was confused when he heard this, and said: "My uncle has a good relationship with the old prince in Haidian? How do you think he is the one who pulls the strings?"
San Fujin blinked and said, "If it weren't for this, why would the punishment be so severe?"
The third elder brother actually felt that what San Fujin said made sense, and said thoughtfully: "If you can pull the strings, then you have to make good friends on both sides..."
There is a gift in the second bedroom.
Galli is the brother-in-law of the prince's uncle, and Galli's cousin is Yuqinggong Gege.
The third elder brother didn't dare to think about it.
It is well known that Galli was originally on the side of the prince.
But Zengshou is also close to that side?
Did Zeng Shou defect to him on his own initiative, or was he recruited secretly?
No matter what, they are his in-laws, and they must be on his side.
The third elder brother said to San Fujin: "The Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Please go back to the palace a few more times. At this time, we should get closer to the palace to avoid looking bad on my uncle's face."
San Fujin nodded and said: "Don't worry, sir, I know that we are far away from each other. The clan leader's transfer of houses is not a good thing for the eldest brother, and it is the same for us."
The third elder brother nodded and planned to inquire carefully to see if Zeng Shou was flirting with the prince.
He glanced at San Fujin and realized that Dong E's family could be his best helper, but San Fujin and Zeng Shou had different mothers, and their siblings were not close.
Sanfujin also has no brothers from the same mother. If he wants to raise his brother-in-law, he has no one to raise him.
Other people's wives and maternal family are all helping. When it comes to one's own, not only are the wives not helping, but they also have to guard against being stabbed.
Not to mention the maternal side.
The third elder brother was a little stunned.
He missed his mother-in-law.
If the prince really becomes unstable, at that time, the eldest brother will have Concubine Hui as his support, but he will be alone here.
Could it be that God has given this man a great responsibility, and he must first put his mind and body to work...

The next day is Laba.
There is an old saying in Beijing, "After the Laba Festival, it's the New Year."
Starting today, we will start preparing New Year’s goods and giving out New Year’s gifts.
Shu Shu said to Brother Jiu: "Forget it, should I also give the New Year's gift to the palace this year?"
This year, what is prepared for the emperor is still gold.
It's just that Brother Jiu left the Ministry of Internal Affairs and lost a piece of annual tribute. The annual gift prepared for the emperor this year also reduced a lot in gold.
It is a pair of golden beads with various colored gemstones, and a matching eighteen pieces.
It looks novel and interesting, but it can only be collected or enjoyed.
Let Kangxi match the gold beads himself, the scene is a bit unimaginable.
In addition to Qianqing Palace, there are also two places for annual rituals in the palace, Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace.
There are examples in both places. In Yifei's case, there are gold and silver locks for holding purses and gold collars for rewards, and there are several longevity locks.
Over at Ningshou Palace, there was a set of clothes that Shu Shu had sewn by herself, a number of various novelty items, and the rest was all kinds of food.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "When I come back from Nanyuan, I will find an opportunity to meet you. It will be a good time to ask Khan Ama to name the three of them..."
