Chapter 497 Accounting (Second update, asking for monthly votes)
Flag jackets and cloaks are loose, and as long as they are of the right length, Shifujin can also wear comfortable clothes.
As for shoes, for the sake of comfort, Shu Shu's shoes are all good-fitting. Even if there are many rich new shoes, they are still different from Shi Fujin's feet.
Shu Shu glanced at Jiu Gege. Hers was inappropriate, and Jiu Gege's was even more inappropriate.
Feeling helpless, she told Xiaosong: "Go to Sanfujin's place and borrow a pair of shoes that you don't have on."
She didn't want to trouble San Fujin, but she couldn't go to the Queen Mother for help.
The Queen Mother is old and a widow, so her shoes are black and blue flat-soled flag shoes.
Let’s not talk about whether it’s appropriate or not to borrow it. Even if I borrow it, I won’t wear it with my clothes.
Xiaosong responded.
Shi Fujin said embarrassedly: "I brought too few things."
Shu Shu said: "It's okay, we'll have it tomorrow."
Although this was a weaving house, it was not a place where she could directly order new clothes to be cut, so Shu Shu sent Xiaotang to see Concubine Hui to explain Shifujin's difficulties.
After a while, when Xiaotang came back, she was accompanied by the maid of concubine Hui and the needleworker who was accompanying Concubine Hui on this southern tour.
"Your Majesty has already given orders to the Zhizao Mansion to prepare the materials and send the servants to come over first to have Fujin's body measured."
The eldest palace maid said.
Shi Fujin felt a little novel, so he stood up and asked someone to measure him.
He is four feet nine inches tall, his waist is two feet two, his shoulders are one foot one and a half inches wide, and his chest is two feet eight.
Shu Shu was listening, looking at Shi Fujin's bust with envy.
Even if a person loses weight and becomes one size smaller, his bust size does not appear to shrink.
Where can you get better weight loss results than this?
In order to prepare for the wedding, Shi Fujin had his body measured several times before and after. After hearing the results, he smiled and said to Shu Shu and Jiu Gege: "I am one inch taller than a year ago, and my waist is two inches smaller..."
Shu Shu laughed after hearing this. She also grew more than an inch before and after getting married: "If you eat well, you can still grow for two more years."
Jiu Gege was beside him, and he was surprised.
So, it turns out that Shi Fujin’s waist is two feet four?
She endured it and did not change her expression.
She is thin, with a waist of one foot seven.
As far as she knew, Sister-in-law Jiu's waist was thicker than hers, but not more than two feet tall.
No wonder there were rumors before that the future Shifujins would have indecent posture.
As little girls of their age, I have never seen anything like that.
When the measurement was done, the eldest palace maid and the needleworker were about to leave, so Shu Shu asked Xiaotang to stuff her purse.
Shi Fujin watched, and after the two left, he asked Shu Shu: "Do you have to reward purses on weekdays?"
Shu Shu patiently said: "Spare people, if the girls around us don't use this, it will trouble others, and it will save trouble if we give you a reward."
Shi Fujin followed suit and said, "Then Sister-in-law Ninth also lend me some more purses, and soon several of Sister-in-law Ninth's girls will also be rewarded."
Since she came in, these people have not been idle, serving and grooming, and running errands everywhere.
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, then ask them later to thank you for the reward."
While talking, Xiaosong came back from the front yard, and Sanfujin followed.
Young Master Shu Shu had to introduce her again, and the two new sisters-in-law also met.
San Fujin took Shi Fujin's fleshy little hand, looked him up and down, and said, "It's not like what I said, he looks really good."
Shi Fujin smiled and couldn't bear to look away, saying: "Sister-in-law three is also good-looking and well-dressed."
Sanfujin chuckled and said, "This little mouth is also sweet. Brother Ten is lucky."
After the previous farce, in the fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Sanfujin had the upper hand.
Nowadays, although mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still in the same boat, they are not in conflict with each other.
Sanfujin also felt better and started to dress up.
Because I arrived in Suzhou, I also met Gaoming's female family members today. She also dressed up carefully today.
On her head was a full-toned diamond with gold filigree inlaid with rubies, and a phoenix with a ruby tassel in her mouth. She also wore a matching gold filigree bracelet inlaid with rubies, making her look graceful and luxurious.
Compared with Shushu and Jiugege, it is a completely different style.
To be honest, it's a bit too solemn.
The Abahai tribe where Shi Fujin belongs to admires the color red. Looking at San Fujin's dress, he naturally feels good about it, and the praise on his face is sincere.
When Sanfujin saw it, he felt much better and was willing to give away the shoes.
It is a pair of new flag shoes embellished with coral tassels, and the upper is also red satin, which is in line with the status of the newlyweds of Fujin.
By this time, Xiaochun had already changed her clothes.
Shi Fujin put on comfortable clothes and San Fujin's shoes. The golden crown on her head was her own. It was a golden corolla inlaid with rubies and sapphires. It was about a foot high. The gemstone on it was about the size of a thumb cap. The middle one was
That one is as big as a pigeon egg.
Previously, the rubies in the three fortunes looked rich and noble, but compared with the corolla of the ten fortunes, they were nothing compared to the corolla, and the gemstones were too small and too broken.
The smile on San Fujin's face faded, he rubbed his handkerchief and said, "This golden crown looks different from the ones in the capital."
Shi Fujin smiled and said: "It's heavy, about ten pounds. It's my dowry for Ehe. Ehe asked me to wear it on my big day."
But on important days in the palace, one must wear fixed clothes and hats.
Shi Fujin felt that today was her big day.
You can see Tian Khan in the evening, and you will also see the Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess soon.
After hearing this, San Fujin looked at Shu Shu and said, "Why hasn't Brother Ten come over yet? Aren't you going to take the Tenth Brother and Sister to salute?"
Shu Shu said: "I heard that I am in front of the emperor, so it should be soon..."
As he was talking, there was movement outside.
It's the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother who are here.
Although Brother Ninth was still next to He Yuzhu, he didn't look as embarrassed as before, and his face looked much more calm.
"Master!"
Xiaosong happened to be standing at the door, looked at it, was surprised, and quickly turned around and went into the house: "Fujin, Fujin, I'm here..."
Shu Shu's mind was a little empty, but his feet immediately moved and he came out quickly: "Master is here!"
Brother Jiu had already pushed He Yuzhu away, looked at Shu Shu, raised his chin, and said proudly: "No need to delay, I will take you to visit Suzhou River tomorrow."
When Shu Shu saw it, she felt very distressed.
I lost weight again, my face turned pale, and I could barely stand.
In full view of the public, it was hard for her to say anything.
Seeing that Brother Ninth Brother's forehead was sweating and his body was shaking a little, she stepped forward, supported Brother Ninth Brother's arm, and said, "Wash up first, and then go to pay your respects to the Imperial Grandmother."
Brother Jiu didn't want to rely on her, but couldn't bear the weakness in his steps, so he shook her hand, coughed slightly and said: "Well, after you say hello, we will move to the yard and live in the front.
It’s easier to get in and out.”
Shu Shu looked at him softly and nodded.
The couple's eyes were so sticky that no one could get in.
Jiu Gege has seen how they get along before, so it's not surprising.
Shi Fujin was still looking at it curiously, but he looked away after being pulled twice by Brother Shi.
San Fujin looked at it and felt sour. He touched his temples and said, "Brother Ten will freshen up first. I'll go back first..."
After saying that, she nodded to the ninth and tenth elder brothers, then helped the girl leave.
Who hasn’t had the time of teenage love?
But the love in this world is very empty, like a puff of smoke, it is all over the place when it comes, but leaves no trace at all.
The hardest to grasp.
Jiu Gege knew what was going on, so he smiled and said hello to the ninth and tenth elder brothers and went back to the west wing.
The tenth prince glanced in the direction of the upper room, then looked at his wife's new clothes, and said: "Let's go kowtow to the emperor's grandmother..."
Shi Fujin looked down at his hands, made a gesture of showing his hands were empty, and said pitifully: "Didn't you bring the gift for the Queen Mother?"
The tenth prince smiled and said: "It's okay, everything happens for a reason, and the imperial grandmother will understand."
The ninth elder brother was already sitting on the couch. He looked at the tenth elder brother and said, "The 'meeting gift' from Khan Amma's side is at the dinner. Why don't you go directly to the imperial grandmother's side without changing your clothes?"
The tenth elder brother said: "We are all in the courtyard. If you don't show respect if you go there, you can complete the ceremony later."
Brother Ninth didn't hesitate and let the couple go to the Queen Mother's house.
There was no one else in the room, so Brother Jiu whispered in a sullen voice: "Tell me, do you miss me?"
Shu Shu also rode a horse during her northern tour last year. She knew how ecstatic it felt to ride for a long time, so she pushed Brother Jiu directly and said, "Master, lie down for now. I'll rub your waist."
Sitting on horseback for a long time not only hurts your buttocks, but also makes your waist stiff.
Brother Jiu sighed and said, "You're still very old, so you're dishonest, so you should be gentler."
Shu Shu rubbed his waist and did not argue with him.
Brother Jiu sighed happily, stopped being harsh, and began to complain, "Before, riding in a carriage was tiring and bumpy, and the journey took a long time. I stopped at noon and walked for four or five hours.
I thought it would be better if I switched to horseback riding, but the time I spent every day was shortened, but it was too painful..."
Shu Shu didn't know what to say.
If there hadn't been a Wanshou Festival in the middle, they would have been able to take their time on the road. They would have rushed directly to Hangzhou and followed the Holy Master back to Luan.
There happened to be a Wanshou Festival. What would Kangxi think if he missed it by just a few days?
The relationship between father and son is quite harmonious now, and they won't be picky about it. If they become more suspicious in a few years, this would be unfilial.
Just like in the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, the emperor personally went to war and the prince visited the sick.
The prince was only a teenager at that time, how could he think so carefully?
Even if there were people around him encouraging him, he himself knew what he was doing and would not really hope that the emperor's father would die early.
Kangxi felt uncomfortable at the time, but the people who complained were also members of the Hesheli family, and he did not really blame the prince.
However, in the last years of Kangxi's reign, when the emperor was getting old, the rift between them became more and more serious, and that visit became one of the evidences of the prince's unfilial piety.
Brother Ninth felt very tired, but his spirit was still high.
He turned his head and looked at the window. It was not yet noon.
"When will it get dark..."
Brother Jiu whispered carefully.
Shu Shu said softly: "Squint your eyes first, time will go by quickly."
"But I can't bear it..."
Brother Jiu put his arm around her waist, looked at her face, and said.
It seems that he has not changed much from when he set out. He still has thick hair, fair skin, slender eyebrows, and watery eyes, which makes people feel itchy when they see him.
But in this courtyard, the Queen Mother lives above, and Jiu Gege lives opposite...
Shu Shu could only pat him on the back like a child, and said: "I can't bear to leave him, so I'm just sitting here and not going anywhere."
Brother Jiu then closed his eyes with satisfaction, yawned, and said: "Then just keep your eyes peeled, let's change the yard..."
Shu Shu responded softly, pointed to the incense burner, and winked at Xiao Chun.
Xiao Chun quietly lit the sleeping incense.
Brother Jiu was so tired that he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
When the tenth elder brother and Shi Fujin came back from greeting the Queen Mother, they saw the ninth elder brother sleeping and did not come in.
Just then the steward of the Zhizhi Mansion came over to report that the yard in front had been tidied up.
Brother Shi whispered to Shu Shu and brought Shi Fujin over.
Brother Ninth slept from noon to noon.
Shu Shu didn't bother him. Seeing that Shen Zheng was still awake when he arrived, he pushed Brother Jiu and called out: "Master, wake up, there is a banquet tonight..."
Brother Jiu opened his eyes, looked at Shu Shu, still dazed, reached out and pinched Shu Shu's face, and said, "Are you dreaming?"
Shu Shu grabbed his hand, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
"Hey...it hurts..."
Ninth Prince bared his teeth.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Then it's not a dream!"
Brother Jiu looked at the tooth marks on his hand, snorted softly, and grinded his teeth and said: "This is a new account. Let's settle the old and new accounts together in the evening!"
There was not much time, so Shu Shu stopped teasing him and said, "We still need to change the yard, so don't delay."
Brother Jiu immediately became energetic: "Change quickly, we can't delay this!"
It's easy to unpack your luggage and everything in the morning.
Shu Shu said: "Let me go and pay my respects to the emperor's grandmother. It will be almost done when we get back."
Brother Jiu nodded, remembered something, and said, "By the way, Zhu Liang is here too, and Hei Yatou's father is following the guards to the guard's office."
Shu Shu was shocked and said: "Amajan is here?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "I wanted to leave him in Jinan to follow the luggage slowly, but he refused to do it and insisted on showing off."
Speaking of which, that's just a child, only fifteen years old, not yet a man.
Shu Shu thought about the condition of her tenth brother just now, and was not so worried about Zhu Liang.
Even though he is two years younger than the ninth elder brother, if you really want to talk about it, Zhuliang is stronger and should not be much worse than the tenth elder brother.
The black girl’s father?
"Uncle Hei is here too? Then Ama really loves me."
Those were no ordinary noble guards. If it weren't for the status of the people under the household, they would all be people who could remember several rounds of military merits.
Brother Jiu also thought of this and asked puzzledly: "A servant under the Eight Banners can also open an account as an 'other household' due to military merit. Without his status as a servant, why didn't the black guard open an account?"
He is six feet tall and has the strength of a warrior, but it would be a pity to just be a house slave.
Shu Shu said: "I also asked Ama in the early years. It seems that Uncle Hei's family has no male members. He was also injured on the battlefield and gave up the idea of having a son again, so he did not leave Dong E's family."
Brother Jiu thought about Xiaosong's approximate age and guessed: "It was also the Ulan Butong time. My father-in-law also went there at that time?"
It was the largest war after the San Francisco Rebellion.
Shu Shu shook his head and said, "Ama didn't go. He had just been promoted to the rank of captain at that time, and it was not his turn to order troops. It was my cousin from the palace who came over to borrow some people from Ama, and he borrowed Uncle Hei to go over."
Brother Jiu sighed and said: "I didn't pay attention to this before. Looking back now, I see that the structure of the clan and the court has changed since then."
Most of the political kings and ministers at that time were deposed.
Before that, the emperor's father was more tolerant towards the nobles and clan, but after that he became harsh.
Shu Shu felt that it was because the Eight Banners soldiers were timid and the princes and nobles were timid.
The Qing Dynasty's world was different from the previous dynasties' models of conquering the world.
It was not that the founding emperor brought fierce generals and advisers to conquer the world, but that Emperor Taizu brought his brothers, nephews and old Manchu heroes to conquer the world.
And because the Eight Banners have few people, if they split, there would be foreign troubles.
The royal family not only cannot "kill the donkey" like the founding emperors of other dynasties with these powerful clans and old honors, but also continues to appease and win over them.
Marriage is the best way.
However, in the Battle of Ulan Butong, several percent of the Eight Banners troops and horses were lost, which broke the myth of the power of the clan, princes and nobles.
In addition, Kangxi was already developing the Green Camp at this time, and he had three times as many Green Camp soldiers as the Eight Banners soldiers and horses, and he was very confident.
When it comes to princes and nobles, he changed his attitude from conciliation and win-over to a violent suppression.
As a result, the results have been seen, and the current principles and principles have been established.

In the Queen Mother's room.
When she heard that Ninth Prince was coming, the Queen Mother sent the message.
Brother Jiu immediately reached forward, put his left knee on the ground, took Rumu with him, and said: "Grandma Huang, my grandson misses you..."
In the early days, he was just going through the motions with the Queen Mother, respecting her, but since there was no contact, he was not very close to her.
But I became familiar with it a lot during my northern tour last year.
This year again, I can see news about the Queen Mother in every letter from my wife, and I know her love and preference for her grandson-in-law.
Brother Ninth's original five points of closeness became ten points.
When the Queen Mother saw Brother Ninth Brother's actions, she was startled for a moment, and then smiled lovingly. She did not avoid Brother Ninth Brother's hug, but leaned over to kiss him.
This is the Manchurian "hug-mei gift", also known as the "hug-waist-meeting gift", which is a great gift when relatives meet again after a long absence.
After saluting, Brother Jiu looked at the Queen Mother, looked at her carefully several times, and said: "The Queen Mother looks good. Her face looks better than in the palace. She is several years younger!"
This is really not flattery, the fine lines on the Queen Mother's face seem to be less.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "The food is good. It's not as dry as the capital here. My hair is fine..."
What woman doesn’t love beauty?
Even older women are no exception.
Brother Jiu looked at the Queen Mother again and said disapprovingly: "The clothes are too plain, and they don't match your face. Later, my grandson will draw some clothes for you. Then they will be bright and bright, and they will not look like the imperial grandmother." Like the royal aunt..."
Speaking of this, he remembered the anger he suffered from Princess Duan Min last year and said: "When I go to Horqin again, I will make Aunt Duan Min envious..."
The Queen Mother was amused and said: "You dare to say anything, but the emperor will punish you carefully."
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother said with dissatisfaction: "Does Khan Ama want to have a concubine again? Why is he short of money? Why are he always thinking about his sons' salary?"
Kangxi walked to the door and was about to tell someone. When he heard this sentence, his face turned dark...
