On the boat of the third elder brother, San Fujin was about to cry but had no tears.
I'm not afraid of taking care of my brother-in-law, but why do I have to squeeze into my mother-in-law's boat?
Even if the two nobles move away, the remaining cabins over there are limited.
Not to mention, my mother-in-law has the most crooked temper.
"Aren't there still two spare dragon ships left? What are you doing to disturb the empress?"
San Fujin looked at San Age with confusion and said.
Both boats are empty. The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince can move over and they can take care of them as well.
The third elder brother glanced at her and said, "Because it's a dragon boat."
A duty room can be set up above, and the accompanying ministers and guards can also wait for orders on it, but you cannot use it as a seat, otherwise it will be overstepping.
Sanfujin hesitated and said: "If the queen scolds me, I will help me..."
The third elder brother frowned and said: "How can there be such a rule? Do you want me to be known as an unfilial son?! My wife is old and loves to nag. Don't talk back. Be respectful and bear with her and let it go.
.”
San Fujin's face drooped, and he already felt a little regretful.
If she had known that she would live with her mother-in-law, she might have hesitated whether to come or not.
But thinking about the prosperity of Jiangnan, I just have to endure it.
When the time comes when there is filial piety, Quan should be the compensation.
She reluctantly ordered people to pack her luggage.
*
On the royal boat.
The attendants of the Thirteenth Brother and the Fourteenth Brother were also packing their luggage.
The fourteenth elder brother took the thirteenth elder brother aside and said: "We are not little elder brothers anymore, why do we have to live with Concubine Rong? Can you talk to Khan Ama and share a boat with us?
Big ones, just like Third Brother and the others..."
Brother Thirteen pointed behind him and said, "If you can speak, go ahead and speak!"
How could it be that simple?
There are only five to six hundred people in the accompanying guards and escorts, 200 people on the shore, and three to four hundred people in the fleet.
Now we are divided into several parts to guard several large ships.
If the brothers arranged to board the boat alone, they would also have to follow the bodyguards and escorts out.
Fourteenth Brother: "..."
He snorted coldly, put down Brother Thirteen's arm, and said with dissatisfaction: "Are you still not my Thirteen Brother? Why do you hide away when something happens?"
Brother Thirteen smiled and said: "If something happens, just go to Brother Thirteen. If nothing happens, just go to Thirteen. It's okay. You are older and are not a child anymore. You should take more responsibility."
When I was young, I didn't care about sharing candies, competing for notebooks, etc. I was happy to be an older brother and protect my fourteenth elder brother.
Now that they are all grown up, for the same prince and elder brother, the older brothers in front need to be respectful, and the younger brothers behind him should be ignored.
Brother Fourteen's face turned red, and he always felt that Brother Thirteen had something on his mind.
He was unconvinced and whispered: "You are still telling me that you changed your pants too!"
Brother Fourteen is still a little confused.
The thirteenth brother was two years older and knew the reason why the two moved out. He didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the conversation and said: "My mother's boat is also good. Then I can get on and off more freely."
The Fourteenth Brother couldn't persuade the Thirteenth Brother, and he didn't want to run into him. He nodded and said: "Yeah! Let's think about it!"
Speaking of this, he remembered something: "When did the concubine Wang become a noble?"
It sounds like the noble is not of high rank, nor is he the lord of the first house, and he can lead his subordinates regardless of the internal affairs, but the daily supply is inferior to that of the concubine.
Moreover, nobles can go with the chief concubine to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
Because the concubine had merit in giving birth to the prince, she provided daily necessities according to the rules of a noble for the first two years, but she was not an official noble after all.
Brother Thirteen said: "Who knows this? It should be before leaving Beijing..."
Wang Guiren is from Jiangnan and a woman from Suzhou. It may be for this reason that she was given a status this time.
She entered the palace as the cousin of Suzhou weaver Li Xu's uncle.
Like Cao Yin, Li Xu was also the emperor's father's protective brother and confidant.
Lifting the throne at this time is to give honor to Wang Guiren and also to the Li family.
Brother Fourteen just mentioned it casually.
It has nothing to do with him.
After a while, the two people's luggage was packed and someone carried them off the ship.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also arrived in front of the emperor.
There happened to be a promise.
When he saw the two elder brothers coming in, he stayed aside and lowered his eyebrows.
The thirteenth brother looked away, and the fourteenth brother couldn't help but take a look.
She is very small in stature and graceful in posture, completely different from the Eight Banner women.
Is this a Han woman?
It does seem to be somewhat similar to Guiren Wang.
Kangxi saw him and saw that he was only curious and had nothing else to do. He knew that he was not enlightened and was not upset. He just said: "Remember to study every day. I want to check my homework."
The two elder brothers responded and went out.
After leaving the ship, the eunuch in front was carrying a lantern, and the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers followed behind.
Brother Fourteen whispered: "Are the women with flags and drums in the clothes the same as the Han women from Jiangnan? If so, should I ask our empress to pick two women with flags and drums for me?"
Brother Thirteen showed surprise and looked at Brother Fourteen: "Why did you think of this?"
Brother Fourteen said disapprovingly: "Can't you think about it?"
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Just wait, don't worry, it will probably be the year after tomorrow before the emperor asks Concubine De to pick a princess for you."
In the next draft, the three princes Fujin, Twelfth Brother, and the two of them should be selected.
Brother Fourteen bared his teeth and said, "It's going to take so long, it's really boring!"
The Jin family's wrapped woman came close to him before, but he is not a fool.
I think it's quite interesting. She is a few years older than him, but she has a soft temper.
The Jin family is the left leader of Goryeo.
I heard that all Korean women are like this.
It seems that he was sick and moved out, but I don’t know if he is cured or not?
Brother Fourteen felt that he was nostalgic and could inquire after returning to the palace.
When the empress chooses someone the year after tomorrow, instead of choosing a young maid who is new to the palace, she might as well choose a golden maid...

Shu Shu didn't pay special attention to the matter of changing ships.
She began to get used to life on the ship.
It just feels like time seems to slow down.
While the boat is sailing, I can't read or do needlework to pass the time. I can't get together with Jiugege, and I can't talk from morning till night.
Shu Shu began to look for other fun.
That is to imitate the Queen Mother and look at the scenery on the shore,
Where there are no towns or villages, more natural scenery is preserved on both sides of the river.
In the occasionally crowded places, soldiers and civilians along the way also retreated and did not go to the edge of the canal.
After four days of this, we finally arrived at the first palace of our southern tour.
The royal boat has not yet docked, and there are many people waiting on the pier.
The leaders were the eldest brother and Prince Jian, as well as the general soldiers of the green camp stationed next to the palace.
Shu Shu was excited when she got on the carriage.
It's better to be on the road.
Although the carriage is also bumpy, it is much more comfortable than taking a boat.
She missed Brother Ninth again.
If the ninth elder brother is here, the couple can occasionally get off the boat and follow the seventh elder brother by land.
The palace was built adjacent to the canal pier, only one mile away.
After a moment, the carriage stopped.
When Shu Shu arrived at the assigned yard, she felt annoyed.
Compared with the palace to the north, the palace to the south is much smaller.
It's just a dream to have a master and a yard.
In addition to the large courtyard for the royal chariot and the east courtyard for the queen mother and concubines, there are only a few small courtyards on the west road, which have to be allocated to the accompanying princes and ministers.
The prince's brothers are divided into two courtyards.
The eldest brother and the seventh brother were following the prince in the front yard.
The others were left in the backyard.
The third elder brother and his wife are in the main house, and the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother are in the west room.
The two rooms in the east wing are occupied by the fifth elder brother and his wife.
The two rooms in the west wing are Shushu and Jiuge.
When Jiu Gege saw the house, he was surprised and said: "I have never seen such a small house, how can I sleep?"
Each room is one foot square, and only the inner room has a kang.
Shu Shu sighed and said: "Squeeze it!"
Except for the little eunuch in Xiaoluzi, there are seven masters and servants here.
Except for the kang in the inner room and an Arhat couch in the outer room, there is no other place for sleeping.
Jiu Gege also said with regret: "It would be more convenient on the boat."
After hearing this, Shu Shu was moved. She looked at Xiaochun and said, "Go and ask Aunt Bai about how to arrange things there? Has anyone returned to the ship?"
The Queen Mother brought eight palace attendants, including two eunuchs, two nuns, and two palace maids by her side. The other two were from the dining room of Ningshou Palace and followed the people from the imperial dining room directly by land.
Xiaochun responded and went to look for the person.
Jiu Gege understood and said: "In that case, I will also ask grandma to go back to the ship to settle down, so as to avoid suffering here."
While the sister-in-law and sister-in-law were talking, Sanfujin came.
Looking at the room full of people, she sighed: "It seems that your place is also in such a mess, there is no empty space..."
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege met.
Sanfujin drooped, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Last year during the northern tour, how did the meals of the 10th and 13th elders be arranged? In the past two days, the 14th elder brother didn't like to eat rice dishes very much, so our empress asked
I'm thinking of a way..."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Last year I prepared enough. I brought a lot of street vegetables and mixed them with the regular dishes, which was better. I also took my wallet and asked people to order dishes in the imperial dining room. Xiaozao is better.
."
There are many masters accompanying me this time.
Except for the emperor and the queen mother who have dedicated master chefs to cook the dishes, the rest of the masters, who are 20 or so young, also eat large pots of food.
The taste is naturally a bit worse.
The fourteenth elder brother was divided into palaces last year. He lived in the elder brother's house and arranged a dining room for the prince. It is normal to eat unconventional dishes.
San Fujin suddenly realized it and said, "Why did I forget this? The uncles at Yushan have made enough preparations. As long as they are willing to spend money, what are they missing?"
As for the street food Shu Shu mentioned, Sanfujin didn't take it seriously.
It's just pickles, snacks, etc., what's so strange about it?
When the time comes, I will have to sell it well in front of my two brothers-in-law.
What a thief.
He didn't speak himself.
Shu Shu never thought that Sanfujin would come up with a big drama.
She was thinking about those crispy fish. In the first month of the first month, Brother Jiu had done so much harm to the fish in the West Garden that he had eaten several jars of them.
Even if it's oil-soaked, once the jar is opened, it's better to eat it up as soon as possible.
It would be great if Brother Thirteen lived alone. He could ask someone to give some to him.
Living alone?
There is the eldest brother and the seventh brother.
Shu Shu decided to go back and discuss with Wu Fujin whether to send some to those two places.
After a while, Xiao Chun came back with Aunt Bai behind him.
Summoned by the Queen Mother.
"The empress asked Fujin and Gege to wear more clothes and follow the emperor to the school field to watch the princes shoot arrows..."
