The ninth elder brother came back together with the tenth elder brother.
Not a coincidence.
It was Shu Shu who sent Li Yin to the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs and the Yamen of the Zongren Mansion to summon him.
I was just afraid that the two brothers would be delayed.
Especially the ninth elder brother, since he wants to treat guests, he can't stay late than the guests.
The two of them came back in spite of the wind and snow.
The tenth brother came over to stop, said hello to Shu Shu, and then went back to the third house to change clothes.
Brother Jiu went to the end of the mask and said with doubts: "Didn't you say you should eat something simple yesterday? Why did you make such a big fuss?"
Shu Shu took the clothes, told the walnuts to be put away, and said with a smile: "Brother Fourteen spoke with great interest, and it didn't take much trouble..."
Brother Jiu reminded: "Be careful of that guy kicking your nose in the face, he won't be polite."
Taking the initiative to treat guests and passively treating guests are two different things.
Although Shu Shu's instructions were thorough, she was still a little irritable.
I ate a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest in the afternoon and it resolved itself.
They are all younger brothers.
The ninth elder brother is interested in Fusong, why can't she be interested in several younger elder brothers?
She smiled and said: "In front of the Fourteenth Brother, don't say these things, don't go through all the trouble... The Fourteenth Brother is still young, he will be fine in two years."
Brother Jiu sneered: "I'm like him back then..."
He was a little unable to speak.
He doesn't seem very sensible either.
At that time, I also had a bad temper, and I was always sour-faced. I didn't like anything I saw, and I liked talking back to others all day long.
The older brothers above him didn't like to talk to him, and he didn't like to talk to them either.
That is to say, Myna is tolerant and does not care about him, but feels more relieved.
He said with melancholy: "Bago also went to the palace to plead guilty. Is this matter settled? Ama Khan has not let go yet, and I don't know when Bago will be able to return to the Sixth Department as an errand..."
Shu Shu curled her lips and said with a smile: "It has to be after the new year. Don't worry about it. How can you know that it's a blessing in disguise? After a long time, the emperor's anger will dissipate. Maybe it's a good thing."
Brother Jiu was convinced and nodded: "You are right."
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but she felt a little happy in her heart.
The eighth prince couldn't hide it anymore.
He is more cautious and low-key than he appeared before.
Who gave him an extra side Fujin?
Now Kangxi was unknowingly guarding against the prince's elder brother.
The eighth prince wants to keep developing and maintain good relations with the imperial court, but I am afraid it will no longer be possible.
The importance of having multiple Fucha families as banner vassals is completely different from having multiple Fucha families as in-laws.
Kangxi had been an emperor for more than 30 years, and he was confident that he had the Ma Qi brothers in his hands, so he generously allocated money to help his son. But after a long time, he didn't murmur in his heart?
As long as you care secretly, all ambitions will have nowhere to hide.
Shu Shu was in a good mood and pulled Brother Jiu's hand, feeling itchy in his heart.
Brother Jiu glanced at the door and whispered: "Have you thought about it?"
Shu Shu nodded.
Brother Jiu lowered his head and said, "That will have to wait until night..."
Shu Shu put down his hand, touched his belly, shook his head and said: "It will take a few days, not even at night..."
Relatives have arrived.
This was also why she was upset in the afternoon.
Brother Jiu understood and reached out to touch her belly, worriedly asking, "Does it hurt?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's been a long time in the afternoon. I just ate a bowl of bird's nest and two pieces of honey fruit, but my back is still a little sore. I won't serve it later. I'm still full and don't want to eat..."
"Uh-huh!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "You are not a serious guest. You should have a good rest and leave it alone!"
Shu Shu wasn't worried at first, but after hearing this, she became uneasy.
She asked gently and gently: "There is also the twelfth brother. I will take care of him when the time comes. Don't be left out in the cold."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said, "Then what will I do if he doesn't speak? I can't force him to speak..."
Shu Shu said with a smile: "I am so powerful, how can it not be easy to coax a child? My twelfth brother just seems to be quieter. To be honest, I am not even thirteen years old yet, so I have to be more patient. Who can tell me now?"
It’s my brother.”
In fact, Shu Shu had no intention of getting too close to the twelfth elder brother.
But what she was thinking was what she was thinking, and she didn't show any preference on her face.
Because Jiu A Ge has seven emotions.
You can't let him show his impatience on his face, otherwise he will offend others.
As expected, Brother Jiu looked better and nodded: "Yeah, I'm just pretending to be an adult, I'm still a child. Don't worry, there are so many Mongolian princes, Taiji, I can fool them, even a twelve-year-old!"
At this moment, the fourteenth elder brother arrived.
He was not empty-handed, holding a pot of wintersweet gemstone bonsai.
He didn't even put it in the brocade box, he just took it in with both hands.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, it's hard to go out in winter, so these flowers are for your eyes..."
Brother Fourteen smiled sweetly and handed it directly to Shu Shu: "See if you like it. If you don't like it, my brother will give you another one..."
Shu Shu felt quite flattered.
This gem bonsai looks very expensive.
The flowerpot is carved from a single block of jasper, with a tree trunk carved from agarwood inside, dotted with beeswax wintersweet flowers, which looks very lifelike.
Even in the palace, such gem bonsais are of the highest quality.
The flowerpot was warm and still had some residual warmth, but Shu Shu felt hot to her hands.
She glanced at Brother Ninth.
Is this...convenient to collect?
He is suspected of coaxing good things from children.
Brother Jiu said: "Take it! You will be affected in the future. If you don't take it, you will lose money!"
The fourteenth elder brother nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, that's right. Anyway, my younger brother is the most honest, so he won't be polite to the ninth sister-in-law..."
Besides laughing, what else could Shu Shu say? "Then thank you Fourteenth Brother. I happen to be doing needlework these days and my eyes are always sore..."
"sewing?"
Brother Fourteen was a little excited after hearing this, and came over and said: "Sister-in-law Ninth, the purse that Brother Ninth wore in July, the one with beads, was it sewn by you or someone else? If it was made by someone with needlework, can you give it to my brother?"
I will also make two pairs, I have never seen purses like that outside..."
In the past few days, the fourteenth elder brother has been talked about by the thirteenth elder brother, and he also knows that "there is a difference between uncle and sister-in-law".
A sister-in-law is a sister-in-law. She looks like an elder sister, but she is not an elder sister.
Shu Shu is not afraid of suffering, but is afraid of taking advantage.
Shu Shu felt uncomfortable after receiving such a big gift from Brother Fourteen. After hearing this, she hurriedly said: "That is bead embroidery. The girl next to me can do it. If Brother Fourteen likes it, I will ask someone to do it for you."
Yes, do you have a favorite color?"
Brother Fourteen smiled and said: "Anything will do, just big enough to hold the cake...the color should be golden, it looks bright and suits the status..."
He made gestures without being polite at all, and even warned: "It's better to be colorful and lively."
This aesthetic...
It really suits the identity of a child.
Shu Shu had a rough idea in her mind.
It's just a contrasting color.
The purse is not enough, and there are also straps and so on.
Shu Shu said: "A purse like this can only be worn at the end of February or early March, so why not make it a thick satin one and just make it one that can be used in spring and autumn?"
Brother Fourteen nodded and said, "Well, there's no rush."
Brother Ninth said disgustedly: "I remind you, don't give me a gift once, and call your Ninth Sister eight hundred times! Just this time, I'll tell you!"
The fourteenth elder brother was unhappy after hearing this: "What about next autumn and winter?"
"ah?"
Brother Jiu glared at him: "I told you, how many times do you want to use your Sister-in-law Ninth? Go away! I'm not willing to use my Fujin!"
The fourteenth elder brother snorted and ignored the ninth elder brother. He turned to look at Shu Shu with a look of pity on his face: "Ninth sister-in-law, there is nothing I can do for you. The purses that the nanny asked people to prepare are all there.
It doesn’t look old-fashioned, and the colors aren’t bright either… A few days ago, there was a palace maid who knew how to color the needlework, and she said she would help me make my purse, but she got cold and moved out…”
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.
Daughter of the Jin family?
Brother Jiu nodded.
That's her.
Yu Qian moves very quickly.
Brother Jiu was not surprised.
He has already complained to the emperor, and if Khan Amma still doesn't take action, then his words will not be in vain.
The fourteenth elder brother said nothing. He looked at Shu Shu and then at the ninth elder brother.
What did the look between the two of them mean just now?
Sister-in-law Ninth helps her pack two pairs of purses, and she still needs Brother Ninth’s nod?!
Either those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot believe what they say, and arrange Sister-in-law Ninth to look like a tigress. What will be the result?
This is more obedient than a house cat!
Brother Fourteen felt that he had made a mistake.
From now on, I should be more aware of current affairs and be more respectful to Ninth Brother.
Then, you can learn two tricks, hehe...
This is also the way to train your wife...
At this moment, Brother Thirteen also arrived.
He was holding a brocade box in his hand.
It must have been agreed upon with the Fourteenth Prince, and it is also a box of bonsai.
It's not an artificial flower or tree, but a rose-red coral.
Commonly found corals on the market range from white to light pink and true red, but there are not many such bright rose-red ones.
The flower pot at the bottom is a hollow gold pot, with simple color matching, but still elegant and luxurious.
The fourteenth elder brother has accepted everything. Of course, Shu Shu has no reason to refuse the thirteenth elder brother?
She not only accepted it, but also said to everyone with a bit of eagerness: "You guys sit down first, I will set it up in the room first, and put it outside to break it. It will be very heartbreaking..."
There is nothing more joyful than giving a gift to someone you love.
The thirteenth brother raised the corner of his mouth, and the fourteenth brother smiled broadly, but he had nothing to say.
Brother Jiu knows that Shu Shu is not lacking in these things.
In her trousseau, there were several pots of similar gemstone bonsais, and there were also larger and more colorful corals.
It should be for the twelfth elder brother.
I was afraid that when the twelfth brother came over, he would be empty-handed, or if the things he brought were too different from those two, it would be embarrassing.
Being an elder brother or sister-in-law is really different from being a younger brother or younger sister-in-law.
Shu Shu would not act so cautiously in front of his fifth sister-in-law and seventh sister-in-law.
Brother Jiu thought that he could also find the feeling of being an older brother.
Just take care of them, don't worry about them.
Thinking about it this way, the ninth elder brother felt that the fourteenth elder brother was also quite pleasing to his eyes.
This younger brother sometimes gets a little noisy and is not very sensible, but he is not stingy and he is considerate in giving things away.
In the east room.
Shu Shu held the wintersweet flower in her hand and placed it directly on the dressing table.
Walnut held the coral bonsai and followed carefully.
Shu Shu pointed and whispered: "Put it here first. Later, I will ask someone to make a glass cover and put it in the study..."
