Chapter 1957: Wife or Concubine

Chapter 1958 Wife or concubine

A night of silence.

The next day, Shu Shu got up early.

The honey-colored Ningbo flag was hung up yesterday and has been ironed.

The matching accessories include gold and beeswax jewelry.

Shu Shu sat in front of the dressing table, and Ging Guo put on ear pliers for her.

"This year, the etiquette department's hat change time is twenty, and the jewelry box in the house should also be changed..."

Baiguo said.

Every year in late March, men change their hats to summer hats, and women change their jewelry from gold jewelry to jade jewelry.

Shu Shu remembered that Prince Yu was still ill and Prince Gong was not doing well a while ago, so he said: "Turn out the white jade ones and have a set ready..."

These two seem to be about the same.

Kangxi lost two brothers one after another and began to approach his twilight years.

At that time, the son in his eyes was no longer a son, but an enemy who threatened his throne.

Thinking of this, Shu Shu felt heavy in her heart.

It seems like those brisk days are numbered.

Bai Guo responded: "Save it for me, I will keep a set of silver-toned noodles."

With a status like Shu Shu's, there were only two ways to go out on weekdays, one was to visit the palace to pay respects, and the other was to attend various banquets.

The banquets are divided into birthday banquets such as "Xi San", "Hundred Years" and "Zhao Zhou", wedding banquets, and white banquets for funerals.

While the master and servant were talking, there was movement outside.

Brother Nine is back.

Shu Shu was a little surprised and said: "So early? I thought I had to come back from the palace to see you..."

Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu with a smile in his eyes.

"Khan Amma returned to the palace early, and the few of us who were accompanying him dispersed at the entrance of the palace..."

Shu Shu saw Brother Jiu's appearance clearly, squeezed his arm, and said with distress: "I've still lost some weight. The few kilograms of meat I gained before are almost gone again."

Brother Jiu said: "My family is here. You can nourish me well and I will be back."

Having said this, he took out a booklet from his arms and said, "Look, I asked people to buy a lot of things along the way. Some of them were brought back. Most of them are in Suzhou. I will give them to you when the Ji family's ship arrives in Beijing."

We’ll bring it here.”

Shu Shu took it and looked at it. There were all kinds of silks and satins, all kinds of fans, all kinds of spices, mainly medicinal materials, and some other scattered local specialties.

Shu Shu looked it over and said, "The weather is getting hotter, and I was thinking of asking someone to buy Songjiang cloth. I bought just the right one."

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I just thought you would like to use this..."

When it was time for breakfast, Brother Jiu simply freshened up, and the couple had breakfast together.

One seafood porridge, one shrimp dumpling, and one steamed clam egg.

Brother Jiu ate his mouthful and said with pride, "I am still smart. I left Cao Shun to disembark at Tianjinwei. Then I went back to follow the purchaser's instructions. It doesn't cost a lot to go to Tianjinwei every month."

"

Shu Shu had no objection.

For their status as a couple, it is not a big deal to spend a lot on food and drinks.

Even if Kangxi picks on you, it doesn't hurt.

I still have to go to the palace to pay my respects, so I can't delay.

After Shu Shu had breakfast, she said, "Master, have a good rest. I'm going out first."

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I can't rest. Uncle Wang is still sick. When I came back just now, my fourth brother said that he would go to Prince Yu's Mansion soon. I asked someone to pack a few boxes of tonics and then went to Prince Yu's Mansion."

There are rules for visiting patients. It is not advisable to visit patients too early, and it is also prohibited to visit patients in the afternoon.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Not two days after I left home, news came that the prince was seriously ill. I was still in confinement and couldn't go out, so I couldn't send Guidan there directly. I also prepared a gift at that time.

I asked Uncle Ten to take him there."

"Well, I heard what Lao Shi said yesterday, and I thought that Khan Ama pointed out the imperial doctor to see the uncle, and he must be able to cure the disease, but I didn't expect this to be the result..."

Brother Ninth felt a little sad.

It is said that people who are paralyzed in their seventies or eighties are paralyzed. It is really difficult to say that they are paralyzed in their fifties.

Shu Shu listened and thought of the rumors these days.

When Prince Yu's illness was mentioned outside, some said he was overjoyed and sad, while others said it was caused by female sex.

Since April of the thirty-nine year, when Prince Yu added five more rooms to his palace, Prince Yu has taken in several concubines.

It is really of extraordinary significance.

You must know that before Wugege, the last time a baby was born in Prince Yu's Mansion was in the 23rd year of Kangxi, when the current fifth elder brother Baoshou was born.

Not having a baby cry for more than ten years is also a blow to a man in his prime.

People are greedy.

Now that a young girl has been born, she is naturally looking forward to a young son.

When the youngest son came, I looked forward to it again and again...

Within a few years, more than ten concubines were added to the family, four children were born, and everyone was exhausted.

Shu Shu looked at Ninth Brother, the news from the capital could not be hidden from the emperor.

I hope Kangxi will learn from this and stop worrying about teaching his sons the rules in the future.

In the early years, it was just a matter of repayment, and the heirs of each family were not numerous. People came here just to spread the branches and leaves.

Now, except for the eighth prince, the other princes' families were all full of children, so Kangxi could worry less.

When Shu Shu left the house, Shi Fujin was already waiting.

The tenth elder brother was not here and he only came back from Nanyuan in the morning. He was in no hurry to go to the clan mansion.

Seeing that Shu Shu was newly dressed, she stepped forward and took Shu Shu's hand. She couldn't take her eyes away and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu looks good in this color. It stands out against her fair skin and tenderness. I want to kiss her."

Shu Shu also praised Shi Fujin's clothes: "The clothes of my younger siblings are also of good color."

Shi Fujin is still red, but it is not a bright red that makes people look swollen, but a slightly darker coral red.

Shi Fujin said: "I can't compare to my sister-in-law. She can wear any color. You don't have to be picky like me."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "My sister-in-law drank honey this morning. Her little mouth is so sweet."

Shi Fujin's eyebrows were crooked and he said: "I didn't eat honey, I ate sugar pancakes instead."

Grandma said something and got into the carriage.

When they arrived at Shenwu Sect, they saw the Fourth Fortune Jin talking to the Eighth Fortune Jin.

The sisters-in-law met each other and entered the Shenwu Sect together.

In the Shenwu Sect, Qi Fujin and Wu Fujin were there. Next to Wu Fujin, there was a woman wearing a pink flag uniform, who was Guarjia.

On the sixth day of the third lunar month, the Guarjias entered Wubeile Mansion as Xi Fujin, and there was a wedding.

With the wedding banquet in front of the Fucha family, everyone didn't feel surprised to see it.

It was just that everyone was a little more at odds with Wu Fujin.

There is no comfort.

Qi Fujin also noticed that Shu Shu was in a different state of mind than every time, and said with a smile: "It turns out Master Jiu is back, and he is tidying up like a little beauty."

Shu Shu did not hide her joy and said: "Our master comes back from a long trip, and we can't let our master look at me with unkempt hair and face."

"Tsk tsk..."

When Qi Fujin saw this, he was a little angry and said: "Four or five years after the wedding, I have given birth to four children, and they are still sticky."

Shu Shu smiled, not showing off.

Ba Fujin was by the side and listened to everything, his eyes a little vacant.

Dong E's life is the life she looked forward to before getting married.

The husband and wife are loving and the children are not born out of different wombs.

She recalled the harsh words she overheard in the palace when she was a child.

Said she was a poor person.

He lost his father before he was born, and his mother when he was three years old.

Guo Luomafa, who loved her most, did not live long either.

Compared with himself, Dong E's family can indeed be called a blessed person.

Her parents had been married for more than ten years, and their knees were desolate. As a result, they gave birth to Dong E, who was followed by a string of younger brothers.

They were married for five years and gave birth to four children.

This is not blessing, what is blessing?

For a moment, Ba Fujin felt a sense of awe in his heart.

Naturally, I am not in awe of Shu Shu, but in awe of God and luck.

After the sisters-in-law finished speaking, they each went to the East and West Sixth Palace.

Wu Fujin did not remain silent this time, but took Shu Shu's hand and said, "Thank you for the shrimps and crabs you sent yesterday. It's so rare. Mr. Wu also likes to eat them."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "Our father loves to worry about it. When he sent people back, he said that there is a bucket for the fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law and nephews..."

Jiubele Mansion brought back two carts of seafood, so it was impossible to eat alone.

In that case, filial piety and friendship will be lost, which is inconsistent with the usual behavior of the ninth elder brother.

Shu Shu arranged for people to deliver them to each house.

Five Beile Mansion, Dunjun Prince's Mansion, and Si Beile Mansion all gave one bucket.

The first two families are close, but the latter family has some little tricks behind them.

The fourth elder brother is a preacher and usually acts like the eldest brother, so we should support him and let him be a good brother to the ninth elder brother.

Wufu Jin felt relieved when he saw that Shu Shu's attitude was still warm and cold towards Guarjia.

A woman is strong as a mother, and she can no longer remain ignorant.

Even if you are impatient with these social activities, you can no longer follow your own temper.

In fact, Shu Shu felt very awkward and had nothing to say to Guarjia.

Looking at the royal family's intention, Fujin is still a wife here, not a concubine.

There is a uniform and you can even enter the palace to pay your respects.

Fuca's family is the first, and Guarjia's is the second.

With the examples of the two of them in front of us, in the future, Fu Jin will be treated like this in every government.

With Kangxi's behavior of carrying water between his sons, when every government has Fu Jin in the future, his own family will be conspicuous, and he will ask others to come down if he doesn't know.

If you want to be granted the title of Fujin, you must have meritorious service in giving birth to a child and be admitted into the Yellow Book. Otherwise, you can only be a concubine and a concubine...
