When Brother Jiu came back, Shu Shu was sending Xiao Chun to Sanfujin to report his funeral.
My uncle is also Sanfujin’s cousin.
Even if the married niece who is living across the room does not take the clothes, it is only humane to stay in the clothes for two days to express her condolences.
"You are right to listen to my concubine..."
Brother Jiu told Shu Shu what he had learned from Concubine Hui, and then worried that she would not be happy, he said.
Shu Shu nodded.
Manchuria is inherently docile.
The prince's father died in November of the thirty-third year, and the prince married into the palace in May of the following year, with only half a year between them.
It attracted a lot of criticism at the time.
If calculated according to Manchu rules, a hundred days of mourning would not be wrong. However, due to the emphasis on Confucianism, the mourning period has also changed.
The loss of parents is the most severe.
The Crown Princess's wedding date was set in an unruly manner.
However, the prince's wedding had been prepared for several years, and the wedding was held as scheduled.
So when it was Shu Shu's turn, she had to follow the example and not act too cool.
"In the past few days in Jiangning, let me go out with the other brothers. I can just stay by myself..."
Shu Shu said.
There was Kangxi, a powerful father-in-law, at the top, and she didn't want to tie the ninth prince to her.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "If there is any improvement, I will wait until I have time to go to the cashmere weaving field. The other places will not be impatient to move..."
Shu Shu glanced at him and said, "Where is the Buddha?"
When he was in Suzhou and Hangzhou before, he seemed very interested.
Brother Jiu glanced at Shu Shu and was interested because she was around.
What's the point of being left alone?
He looked deep in thought and said, "There is something that I have been thinking about for several days. I am wondering whether I should tell Grandma Huang..."
Shu Shu said: "What's the matter?"
Brother Jiu said, "The Buddhas worshiped in each temple are different. Are the worshipers of each family sincere or not?"
Shu Shu was frustrated and didn't want to use her brain. She somehow felt that Brother Jiu's words made sense.
Brother Jiu saw that she had listened and said, "The lamps offered each time are about the same, and the price of sesame oil is about the same. They are impartial, but they don't value either one. If the Buddha wants the power of faith, then why don't he find someone else?"
Blessed by pious people?”
Shu Shu realized it later and hurriedly made a gesture of silence.
Brother Jiu was just talking nonsense to divert Shu Shu's attention. Seeing that she was distracted by grief, he just stopped talking.
Shu Shu glanced at him and said: "You are getting bolder and bolder, talking about the emperor's grandmother!"
Brother Jiu changed the subject and said, "Aren't you looking forward to coming to Jiangning first? Cao Shun is a local snake. Is there anything you want to eat or play with?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I'll be vegetarian for a few days..."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Then I asked Cao Shun to row more fresh fruits..."
Shu Shu thought of the fans Jiu Gege bought in Hangzhou. Jiangning's fans seemed to be very famous, and said: "Don't forget the errand assigned by the emperor. If the elders and Jiu Meimei want to buy something, Jiangning should be the last stop.
…”
When the dragon boat leaves Jiangning, it will no longer stop in the middle.
Or you can stay there for only one night.
It's really getting hotter today.
It's April now, which is half of May in the Gregorian calendar, and it's already early summer.
Brother Jiu said, "Don't worry, with Cao Shun here, Gao Bin can barely make up the numbers..."
When they were in Suzhou before, Gao Bin and his party finally met up with Brother Jiu.
Shifujin's luggage has also arrived.
The ceremony went around again.
There is Cao Shun, who is in his twenties, and Gao Bin, who is in the same age group as the ninth elder brother, is a bit unsatisfactory.
Brother Jiu asked Shu Shu, "Was I too impatient at that time? Even if there was a shortage of people, I shouldn't have taken advantage of those who were not on duty?"
Although Cao Shun did not officially serve as an errand, he had been running errands with his uncle Cao Yin for several years and had gained experience.
Brother Jiu is very easy to use and does his best every time he is asked.
Shu Shuke still remembered that Gao Bin would become a capable minister and an expert in river management.
He was promoted during the Yongzheng Dynasty and had already become the governor of the river. He did not rely on nepotism to make a fortune in the Qianlong Dynasty.
Shu Shu advised: "I took the initiative to ask for this person, so I just need to be a bit tight-lipped. It's not really inappropriate. There is a difference in age and qualifications between the two of them, so it's not fair to compare them together."
Brother Jiu said, "Anyway, I learn from every experience and gain wisdom. When I need to hire people in the future, I'll just choose the experienced ones!"
Shu Shu looked at him and said nothing.
Among the prince's elder brothers, it is estimated that only the ninth elder brother can employ people like this.
What I think about is using people’s abilities, not whether they can be conquered or not.
He is only used as a subordinate and has no intention of recruiting disciples, otherwise he would not promote the disciples of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
At this moment, Xiao Chun came back, and San Fujin came with him.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu both stood up.
Sanfujin also took off his jewelry and changed into plain clothes.
She nodded to Brother Jiu as a greeting, then took two steps forward, took Shu Shu's hand, and choked with sobs, "Why did the lobby uncle just go?"
As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.
The grief is heavier than that of Shu Shu, my biological niece.
Shu Shu sighed and said: "Who said it wasn't the case? I didn't expect it to be this time. Every year after the twelfth lunar month, it makes people feel at ease for more than half a year..."
"In the past few years, several clan uncles and clan uncles have passed away. The older generation of them have withered away one after another..."
As San Fujin spoke, his tears fell again.
She was really sad, not only for her uncle, but also for her elderly and seriously ill Amma.
Shu Shu felt uncomfortable in her heart. She was still holding back, but she couldn't help but shed tears after hearing these words.
She had just heard the news of her uncle's death. She was half sad and half scared.
It was also from my uncle that I thought of my parents and aunt.
Brother Jiu stood by and watched Sanfu improve his luck.
Where can I find such annoyance to humanity?
It took a lot of effort to distract my wife's attention by rambling here and there, but now she felt uncomfortable again.
San Fujin didn't realize it and kept wiping his tears.
At this time, Wu Fujin and Shi Fujin came after receiving the news.
They also came to trouble Shu Shu.
Seeing San Fujin dressed up like this, I realized that there was another person who felt uncomfortable.
Only then did San Fujin stop crying.
Shu Shu thanked everyone.
When I was young, the Queen Mother, the Dowager Concubine and the two empresses also sent people to visit Shu Shu.
Bai Yanmo also brought a plate of yogurt cakes and said, "The empress specially sent her slaves to give this to Fujin. If Fujin has no appetite, just eat two pieces of this..."
Shu Shu personally picked it up and said, "I can't accompany the Queen's grandmother to worship the Buddha. Can you please help me tell the Queen's grandmother not to leave me behind when offering lamps?"
Bai Jianmei said, "Fu Jin, don't worry, I'll tell you when I get back."
Shu Shu looked at Xiao Chun and said, "Take some money and leave it next to Mo Qi. When the time comes, I will trouble you to add my share..."
The last sentence was said to Bai Moji.
Bai Mo Mo agreed.
Shu Shu added, "It's hot and it's easy to get angry. Can you replace the imperial grandmother's tea with Longjing? It has a cooling property and can relieve heat and heat..."
That was Shu Shu's filial piety when he was in Hangzhou before.
The young couple went to the tea garden and bought ten kilograms of tea. When they came back, they didn't share all the tea. One kilogram was given to the Queen Mother, half a kilogram each to the two concubines and the two concubines, four taels each to the two nobles, and nothing to the others.
The tea garden is right there. If others are interested, just buy it yourself.
Bai Jianmo took note of it and said, "The empress doesn't like to drink Longjing tea very much. She says that if you add too little tea, it tastes weak, and if you add too much tea, it will be bitter."
Shu Shu thought of the Longjing fruit tea that became popular in later generations.
Unfortunately, the current seasonal fruits are limited, only loquat, mulberry, and cherry. They don’t seem to be suitable for making fruit tea.
She said: "We were in Hangzhou first. Didn't the empress get osmanthus honey there? After the tea had cooled down, she mixed it directly into the tea. It tasted good. Why don't you ask someone to make it and give it to the imperial grandmother to try?
"
Bai Jianmei said, "Your Majesty loves to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus honey. She has to dip a small plate into the pastry for breakfast. I'm sure she'll also like it when she mixes it with tea."
After delivering the things, Bai Yanmo left.
Several crickets watched the entire conversation between the two.
San Fujin blinked his eyes. Before, he only knew that the Queen Mother liked Shu Shu, and that Shu Shu wanted to be close to the people in Ningshou Palace. He didn't expect that he was such a familiar trick.
Is it too flattering?
Is it also the prince Fujin?
To get to this point?
Take care of your diet and daily life?!
My cousin is really well hidden.
He loves to please his elders.
In fact, she misunderstood.
Shu Shu accompanied the Queen Mother on her southern tour this time, and she was also carrying an errand assigned by Kangxi and Concubine Yi, which was to serve the Queen Mother in her daily life.
It is also because of this that Bai Jianmo answers all questions.
Sanfujin looked at Wufujin.
It’s not easy to be a sister-in-law either.
The position of this filial granddaughter-in-law was taken away by others.
Wu Fujin knew the inside story, so how could he think so much?
She noticed that San Fujin was looking at her and looked back.
San Fujin then looked away and touched the corners of his eyes with the handkerchief.
Shi Fujin was even more simple-minded and couldn't think of anything else. He just said to Shu Shu, "If Sister-in-law Jiu feels uncomfortable, eat more and go to bed after eating. You will feel much better when you wake up..."
This method is quite unique.
Seeing that what she said was serious, Shu Shu nodded seriously.
At this time, Jiu Gege has also arrived.
Shu Shu said: "Didn't the fistula come here before? Why did it come here again?"
Jiu Gege lived with the Queen Mother, and when Bai Mohe was delivering things, he also passed on Jiu Gege's words.
Jiu Ge took her hand and said, "I'm thinking, I have to do it myself, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."
She didn't come over first because the two concubines, the Empress Dowager and the Dowager Concubine, lived on the East Road of Zhizao Mansion, while Shu Shu and other princes Fu Jin lived with the princes on the West Road, separated by the Yamen of Zhizao Mansion.
At present, because the Holy Emperor is stationed here, he is temporarily on the road, and there are no outsiders. However, there are also many ministers from the province coming and going, so it is easy to conflict.
Shu Shu shook her hand back and said, "There is no need for these false courtesy between you and me."
Perhaps it was because of his Tong Geng relationship, and also because Jiugege read a lot and was more stable than his peers, so the sister-in-law and sister-in-law could talk about everything together.
Although we got to know each other late, we feel like old friends.
Sanfujin saw it in his eyes and could only regret it.
There is no way to learn this in school, and there is no age difference between her and Jiu Gege.
Before Sanfujin and others could say goodbye, another person came from the imperial court.
When Liang Jiugong came over, it turned out that Kangxi personally ordered the palace dining room to prepare a plain banquet for Shu Shu.
Sanfujin was trying to comfort himself just now not to be upset, but now he couldn't help it anymore.
