The Guarjia clan is the imperial concubine's personal concubine, and she is different from the ordinary ones.
Xu Te is still at the front and she is considered their sister-in-law.
That is to say, now, the other party is saluting them.
When the fifth elder brother becomes the prince, and the Guarjia family becomes the prince's side blessing, then they, Mrs. Belle, will have to pay their respects first.
There is also the issue of distance and distance.
If Shu Shu had a bad temper with Qi Fujin, it would be reasonable. The two had a relationship before.
Wufujin put down his face and seemed a little confused.
Shu Shu did not speak for Wu Fujin, nor did he add fuel to the fire. He only said: "It depends on your wishes. Although we live close by, we are still half a street apart, so we don't necessarily have to go in and go out together."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "Yes, we are not children. We need to hold hands when going out. We are just relatives, so we should be polite..."
Speaking of this, she looked at Shu Shu and said thoughtfully: "Did I give you face too? I saw that you seemed to be alienated from her years and years ago..."
Shu Shu didn't hide it and told Wu Fujin that he wanted to encourage him to seek grace.
Qi Fujin: "..."
Qibele Mansion is close to Wubeile Mansion, and the news about Qibele Jin is better.
It's just that she didn't have any confidence, and she didn't want to talk about the child, so she didn't mention it before.
Seeing that the topic was mentioned in a hurry, she said: "Lard has deceived your heart. A sister-in-law should not take responsibility. That involves her own son. If you have the courage to ask the Queen Mother, no matter whether it succeeds or not,
, also like Prince Fujin..."
Shu Shu said: "If you have a heavy mind and think too much, you will easily lose your footing."
Qi Fujin thought about the Guarjia family and said: "With such a side Fujin competing next to her, it is inevitable that she will lose her sense of proportion..."
He was just considerate, but Qi Fujin didn't want to become Wu Fujin's venting bucket.
"Please stay away from me from now on..."
Qi Fujin leaned in the carriage, feeling a little sad.
Shu Shu nodded, it was tiring to get along with such a sensitive person, and he could be offended if he was not careful.
Shu Shu had hoped to have a good relationship with her sister-in-law earlier, but after all these years, it was still a superficial relationship.
All I can say is that our tempers are wrong. When we get along, we need to be restrained and careful with each other.
After a while, the two sisters got off the bus at the door of Baylor House.
Qi Fujin looked to the west, then to the east, and whispered to Shu Shu: "You... I don't know whether to envy you or sympathize with you..."
Four sisters-in-law live next to each other, two of them are sisters-in-law.
The person next door to the east was the one who had a grudge earlier.
There was no place for talking outside, so the sisters-in-law entered Baylor's Mansion.
Shu Shucai said: "You should envy me. The fourth sister-in-law is like the eldest sister-in-law, and Shifujin is like her own sister..."
Manchuria has the custom of "calling sister-in-law as sister".
In Manchurian families outside, sisters-in-law also get along with each other like sisters.
That is to say, there is a princess in the palace, and she is still called "sister-in-law" despite the hierarchy.
Qi Fujin was really envious this time and said: "Our two families are too far apart..."
One south and one north.
Otherwise, if they live next to each other and rely on each other, they can get closer on weekdays.
On weekdays, Qi Fujin is at home, and she is also the mistress of the house, working hard.
Now that I have come, I have come loosely.
The sisters-in-law went to Ning'an Hall first. Qifu Jin visited Madam Uncle and drank a cup of tea, then the sisters-in-law came out.
Then, Shu Shu took her outside the inner study room and listened to the teacher's "education and entertainment" for half a quarter of an hour.
Qi Fujin gained insight and said: "No wonder the emperor wants to give you grace. If you teach your children like this, you can just pay it back. My brother can't do it."
Shu Shu said: "I'm still young. I don't remember things at this time. I've been taught too much and I've forgotten them."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "That's right. When it comes to things from childhood, I don't remember many things before I was six or seven years old..."
After the sisters-in-law looked at the inner study, Shu Shu took Qi Fujin to the greenhouse to pick vegetables.
I saw that one side of the greenhouse was full of shelves with large flowerpots on them. There were two-foot-tall trees inside with small purple fruits on them.
"What is this? Does it look like Tiantian?"
The Seven Fortunes of Jin Dao.
Shu Shu said: "Cangshan bilberry, also called blueberry, is recorded in the Materia Medica to improve eyesight."
Qifu Jin saw the rarity, tasted two pieces and put them down.
Since it's for your eyesight, leave it to the children.
At their age, they don't need nourishment.
Shu Shu said: "It's just because it doesn't exist in the capital, so it looks rare. It's just a thing from the mountains and wild places."
Unfortunately, the climate in Beijing is not suitable for this kind of growth, so it can only be raised in a greenhouse.
Qi Fujin thought about his greenhouse and said: "If you can branch it, give me two branches and ask people to plant them in Xiaotang Mountain later."
Shu Shu said: "Yes, these are the branches and leaves I brought back from the south..."
After taking Qi Fujin to pick some vegetables, the two sisters-in-law returned to the main room.
Qi Fujin washed his hands and face, lay down on the kang, and said: "I just picked several vegetables, I want to eat shabu-shabu for lunch..."
Shu Shu said: "Well, let's eat it. I just have some shrimp balls I made a few days ago."
Qi Fujin was not an outsider. Akdan had to tell others about the grace he received and was allowed to go to the study, so Shu Shu simply mentioned it.
After Qi Fujin heard this, he couldn't help but whisper to Shu Shu: "Did the Emperor do it on purpose? If there hadn't been that sentence at the beginning of the year, which family was only allowed to send one person to study in the palace, then Akdan's study would not have been a blessing.
"With that sentence, it is like a carrot in front of a donkey. Letting the emperor's grandson study in the palace becomes a grace. This year it can be given to the ninth master, and next year it can be given to the third master and the fourth master..."
Once you have this grace, it is not easy to ask for other graces.
In this way, the achievements of the princes will be wiped out.
Shu Shu looked at Qifu Jin.
It's a really novel point of view.
Qifu Jin said: "This time the silver is given during the Wanshou Festival. People say that the emperor is generous to his sons and clan members, but in fact, it is the prince who is the main recipient of the reward. There are only a few clans. All added up, it is only tens of thousands of taels of silver. Previously,
There are rumors outside, mentioning the prince’s appointment as king.”
Shu Shu said: "This...why haven't I heard of it?"
Perhaps she knew that Kangxi suppressed his son's title in history, and she had never thought about it in this direction.
Qifu Jin said: "You two don't go out easily. Where are you going to listen to the gossip outside? It's still the aftermath of the thirty-seventh year of being crowned a prince. In the eyes of those Han officials, the status of a prince, even if he is not more noble than his uncle, should not take a step back.
It should be sealed flat."
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "This moment, that moment."
In the early years of Kangxi's reign, Kangxi restored the title of brother to brother. To be honest, it was an overstep of the system.
At that time, there were also reasons to promote the proximal branches and balance the distal branches. Also, there were only three brothers in total, so it was easier to seal.
Even so, they all appear to be princes of Heshuo, but in fact, there are differences in the population and industry.
Prince Yu Fuquan has four more assistants and many more imperial palaces.
That's because Fuquan is both a "noble son" and the eldest among the sons of Emperor Shizu.
Fuquan's biological mother is Xiao Fujin. According to the current rank, she is the highest-ranking Eight Banners woman in the harem besides Queen Xiaoxian.
Empress Xiaokangzhang and several other concubines who gave birth to princes had a lower status.
Nowadays, there are too many princes, and only a dozen or so are born from concubines and above, all of whom are given the title of prince. If the prince is a prince, it will be a headache for the new emperor to ascend the throne in the future.
Shu Shu didn't hide anything from Qi Fujin, and Qi Fujin also told her what was in her heart: "I'm worried about it. Our master's identity is vague. When the time comes, it's not guaranteed whether he will be crowned king together with his brothers above...
…”
But Seventh Brother is a very strong person. If he is really left behind, his life will not be easy in the future.
Shu Shu thought about the seventh prince's title in history and said: "The first few princes are different after all, but compared to the later princes, the seventh prince will definitely be crowned king first."
Qifu Jin said: "Then I'll lend you some good advice. As long as you don't fall behind and don't slip out, it will be fine. In the past two years, eight Beile dropped Beizi, and many people outside laughed at it..."
To be honest, the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince had not yet been ennobled at that time, but their residences were regulated here. Everyone knew what they were first granted, and the Eighth Prince was the elder brother, and he became a Beizi.
It’s conspicuous...
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Prince Zongling'an of the Zongren Mansion and Zongzheng Sunubeizi came to see him.
Before the Longevity Festival, the emperor asked the clan government to count the idle clan members over the age of twenty.
In the past, these idle clans were given stipends based on Tashalakha. In addition, silver coins were given for weddings and funerals, and the poor were rewarded with real estate and population.
It can be said to be a great kindness.
At first, I didn’t think this grace was a big deal, because there weren’t many men with yellow belts. But after twenty years, I found that many of these idle clans were rushing to have sons with the fifth-grade salary.
It was obviously a poor family, but they kept concubines and maidservants, and the number of children was eighty-eight.
After being urged several times by the emperor, the clan government requested an order to suspend the fifth-grade salary of these idle clan members. Those who are over twenty years old and have no errands will be given silver rice as if they were wearing armor.
This is exactly what Kangxi hoped for. After accepting the Zongren Mansion's discount, meeting the two of them, he directly approved the discount...
