The fourth elder brother has always sought perfection.
Since he mentioned before the prince that he wanted to choose a son-in-law from the Nala family, after returning to the main courtyard and sending all the girls away, he mentioned the matter to Sifujin.
"Go back and tell your mother-in-law to pick two of your descendants of the right age and give them to Er Gege."
After hearing this, Si Fujin exhaled and said, "How old is Er Gege? How could the prince pay attention to her?"
She was not willing to choose a son-in-law from her mother's family.
My father is a protector of calves, so it is not easy to be a son-in-law.
When the time comes, there is no way it will be implicated on her.
The couple had made this matter clear before, but they didn't expect it to arise again.
The fourth elder brother said: "Whether the prince wants to mention the Hesheli family or the Shi family, it is inappropriate."
If you really want to get married, in the eyes of outsiders, it means "forming a party".
But if he refuses, the prince is not big-hearted.
The fourth elder brother could only mention the Nala family as a shield.
Sifujin also knew that the matter had come to this and could only make amends.
She nodded and said: "Before the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go back to the city to say hello to Enie and tell Enie this."
The fourth elder brother said: "Don't be in a hurry, and there is no need to tell your uncles. I just want my mother-in-law to pay attention first. First of all, you must choose a person with good temperament, not dull, and then your body and bones must be strong..."
When he said this, he thought of Mrs. Elendai and said with disgust: "It also depends on the character of the parents. If the parents are stupid and don't know the dignity and inferiority, we can't have it!"
The eldest daughter is not a princess and cannot open a mansion, but she is not married off as a daughter-in-law.
Sifujin said: "Let's go back and ask Enie. No matter how hard I choose, I still have ten years to go..."
Mentioning this, she felt a little regretful and said: "When Honghui chose the haha beads a few years ago, he chose them from the Nala family. He grew up with Honghui in the palace. There are no mistakes in the rules."
At that time, Si Age planned to select someone from the Nala family, but Si Fujin stopped him.
Si Fujin himself has an estranged relationship with his natal family, and he does not want his son to get close to his maternal family.
The fourth elder brother rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Not all those who come from the palace are good. There is such a class of people. I am nothing. But when I grow up with the prince and grandson, I feel that gold is precious. I wish I had eyes on the top of my head."
I don’t know what it means.”
Si Fujin heard what Si elder brother mentioned and knew that he was talking about Shun Anyan, so he nodded and said: "I really don't know what it means. Fortunately, the title of the Tong family has nothing to do with him..."
It is not difficult to find out the news about the West Garden.
The fourth elder brother got accurate information before he left the next day.
Among those who entered the West Garden yesterday, apart from the staff who were originally serving as errands around the prince, Chang Hai was the only outsider.
Chang Hai...
The fourth elder brother's face turned even darker.
Chang Hai's eldest son was originally brother Hong Xi's haha pearl.
Later, Brother Hongxi left the study room, and Chang Hai's eldest son was also sent out of the palace.
That child is two years older than Er Gege.
Brother Si made a serious note in his heart.
It's just that he knows that now is not the time for revenge. He has to wait three or five months at least...
He also complained a little more about the prince.
You know, the nephew of the Crown Princess is the son of the fifteenth elder brother, and his age is similar to that of Er Gege.
The fourth elder brother was thinking about that child before...

North Garden, Queen Mother Hall.
Ni Guzhu squinted his eyes, took a sip of milk tea, and ate a bite of braised mutton.
The mutton was very soft and rotten, and the tendons were as transparent as jelly.
The Queen Mother saw that she only ate meat and drank tea, and didn't touch a few vegetables, so she gave her a piece of colorful cucumber shreds with chopsticks.
"You can't just eat meat, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable..."
Ni Guzhu smiled and said: "I will drink honey water later..."
The Queen Mother said: "You can't drink honey water all the time, it's not good for your stomach."
"All right……"
Ni Guzhu listened to the advice and ate cucumber shreds.
This is a cold dish covered with shredded pork.
The shredded pork is fried in soy sauce and is red.
In the cucumber shreds, there are also shredded eggs, shredded fungus, and vermicelli.
It doesn't taste that vegetarian, and is a cold dish that the Queen Mother prefers.
Seeing that Ni Guzhu was eating obediently, the Queen Mother gave her two more chopsticks.
After lunch, Ni Guzhu took the Queen Mother's hand and went out for a walk.
"Just now I was thinking about what delicious food I would have tomorrow, but I stopped thinking about it when I was full..."
Niguzhu touched his belly and said.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Don't you love eating meat? There will definitely be a lot of meat tomorrow..."
Ni Guzhu said: "It would be better to have meat that Mother Uku does not have here, otherwise it will be the same as eating it at home..."
The Queen Mother said: "The cherries are ripe, let's pick them ourselves tomorrow."
"Okay, okay..."
Ni Guzhu nodded and said: "I will give more to my aunt then, she likes it."
This morning, Jiugege came and ate a lot of cherries.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Okay, then let's pick the bigger one for your aunt..."

North Fifth Institute.
Because the Queen Mother will go to Baiwang Mountain tomorrow, the ninth elder brother and the fifth elder brother went there to visit this morning.
"Seven yurts were set up, fifteen sheep and two piglets were prepared..."
When Brother Jiu came back, he mentioned the preparations to Shu Shu.
The so-called piglets are suckling pigs under fifty pounds. They taste fresh and tender without any fishy smell.
Shu Shu said: "We have prepared a table for the Mongolian meal, and the rest is roasted pig and wild vegetables..."
Brother Ninth Brother said: "I told Brother Five to keep the yurt for a while and then dismantle it after the Dragon Boat Festival."
After hearing this, Shu Shu said: "Then Ni Guzhu doesn't have to worry about the treat. Just wait for her turn."
Brother Jiu said: "Let's go together with Lao Shi again."
Shu Shu remembered that Qi Fujin also loved to play, and said: "Then I will choose a day and invite some sisters-in-law to go for a stroll."
Brother Jiu said: "Go back and send Zhou Song to watch, dismantle the yurt and then come back..."
The couple talked while having lunch. When the meal was finished, Brother Jiu went to Changchun Garden.
The plan was to take Brother Eighteen out to stay for one night, so that he could get acquainted with Fengsheng and Akdan, so as to avoid any unfamiliarity tomorrow.
Although he had already said hello in front of the emperor, to pick up the prince from the garden, Brother Jiu first came to Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi had lunch and was walking out, intending to visit the Royal Rice Garden.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, he grabbed the young man and said, "There hasn't been enough rain since spring this year. I don't know what will happen to the rice after it is transplanted. Come with me and have a look."
Brother Jiu agreed honestly.
There was no chariot or chariot prepared outside, but the guards had horses waiting at the small east gate.
The father and son rode one horse, followed by about a hundred guards, and headed for the rice fields.
Brother Jiu thought of corn and potatoes and said, "Khan Ama, have rice been planted over there? Have corn and potatoes been planted?"
Kangxi said: "Two hundred acres of land will be set aside to grow corn on the north side of the Royal Horse Farm."
Brother Jiu said: "This is good. The yield of corn is higher than that of soybeans."
Kangxi shook his head and said: "There are also shortcomings. The oil content is not as good as soybeans, and the hair of horses raised is not as good as that of horses fed soybeans."
The expenditures of the Ministry of War and animal feed are also large.
Brother Jiu said: "How can it be perfect? Just look at the good ones. Not only will the corn yield be high, but the corn stalks can also be used as firewood..."
The current population of Beijing is 130,000 households and more than 600,000 people.
Firewood is indispensable all year round.
Kangxi said: "Although the corn yield is high, how far it will be promoted depends on storage losses. Later, remember to instruct the county magistrate in Xianghe not to make wine with all the harvested corn, but to store it in a separate warehouse and ask someone to divide it year by year.
Record losses.”
Brother Jiu took it seriously and said, "Well, my son has taken note of it and will write a letter to Gao Bin when he gets back."
Kangxi knew Gao Bin's background and had an ordinary impression of him. He had an even better impression of Gao Yanzhong: "He is a capable and considerate person."
He is also dedicated to assisting the new head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Among the yamen under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Imperial Kitchen Room has the largest number of personnel and is the most complicated. Gao Yanzhong has been doing errands in the Imperial Kitchen Room for more than 20 years and has already gained experience."
The small imperial dining room cost 40% of the total expenditure of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The place with the most oil and water.
The Wuya family, the Ma family, and the Zhang family, the three eldest families of the princes, are entrenched in the imperial dining room and are becoming more and more courageous.
Although there is no quotation for a few taels of silver per chicken, the purchasing prices of various items are not cheap.
Gao Yanzhong is not like Guang, but he has not been squeezed out by others. It is not easy to occupy a place with his carefulness and ability.
Kangxi glanced at Brother Jiu and said, "I heard that you asked someone to go to the Ministry of War to inquire about the vacancy of Zhenglan Banner's military officer?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "In my son's Nabeile Mansion, the highest guard rank is from the fourth rank. When Erhe came down from the guard's office, he was the fourth rank. If he was still on duty in the palace and had to wait until he was a first-class guard, my son would be
Let's get together and part ways together, so as not to delay anyone's future, so I asked people to ask if there were any vacancies in the Shangsan Banners' canons. They were all full, so I had to wait. However, there happened to be a vacancy in Zhenglan Banner's canons. What about my son?
There is Fu Qing, who was promoted to the second-class bodyguard before and is qualified to be a candidate for the post..."
Both Erhe and Fuqing appeared in front of the emperor.
Kangxi said: "I remember that Fu Qing was young and had only been on the job for a few years..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, the third-class bodyguard that my son directly filled after he opened the palace is not as qualified as Erhe. My son also held his breath in his heart. Seeing that Prince Xin and Prince An were controlling
Qi Que'er, who was holding the Zhenglan flag, was afraid that his son would interfere, so his son wanted to cause trouble for them. Anyway, if they reported it to them, they would let them stop them if they wanted to. Only when they really wanted to stop them did their son admire them.
hey-hey……"
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "The Ministry of War has reported that there is a vacancy in the post of Zhenglan Banner, and Fu Qing will be the deputy."
To fill vacancies in the imperial court, there are always two candidates, one correct and one correct.
Unless the person being replaced is found to be inappropriate, the main candidate is basically confirmed.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu's little face immediately dropped and he said: "Okay, my son has been under the flag for two years and has never interfered in the flag affairs or personnel affairs of Zhenglan Flag. He only pushed this one person out and was slapped by someone."
"Slap in the face..."
When he said this, his heart moved and he looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, is the main candidate also from the Fucha family? Is he the guard from Bage's house?"
Kangxi shook his head and said: "It's not that, it's Ma Qi's eldest son..."
Brother Jiu blinked.
Ma Qi had many sons, but only the eldest son was the legitimate son.
The eldest son is the prince's hahazhu, and he was previously on an errand for Yuqing Palace...
