Chapter 678: Happiness (Thank you all book friends)
At about the same time, the ninth prince and the tenth prince returned to the palace.
When he reached the door of the second house, Brother Ninth stopped and said cheerfully: "Starting from tomorrow, I won't be coming out. I will arrange money with my brothers later, so you can run errands on my behalf..."
He has already mentioned to Brother Ten that he wants to buy all the land with springs near the big spring in Xiaotang Mountain.
That would be a huge expense, and after a few years, the benefits would be several times greater.
The tenth elder brother thought for a while and reminded: "Ninth brother, it's not good to leave third brother and eighth brother behind, and it's also not good to leave the prince behind!"
Even if there is some dissatisfaction between brothers in private, it is not good to show too much favor to one another.
You can distance yourself and keep a respectful distance, but you can't build grudges.
As for the prince, he is still the most valued son by the emperor so far.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Don't worry, if you don't hold me back, I plan to take even Twelve and the others..."
At this point, he said with gloating: "Anyway, the God of Wealth has been delivered to you. As for how much you can earn, let's speak according to our conscience!"
Brother Ten thinks this is a good idea.
Everyone has close and distant relatives.
This brotherhood is also mutual.
It is appropriate for others to treat Ninth Brother a little better and gain a little more.
People who usually just talk words can't take advantage now.
He said: "Then if the eldest brother and the others insist on asking why they collected such a large amount?"
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Speak vaguely, just say that I have a deficit and need to divert some money, otherwise I will be in trouble. You don't know the specific amount, but you know it's quite a lot..."
Brother Ten thought for a while and felt that this statement was somewhat reliable, so he said: "If this is the case, maybe someone will take a guess at the cashmere weaving field!"
Ninth Brother has not yet opened the palace, but he is in the palace. He is also the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and his every move is under everyone's nose.
In the Ministry of Internal Affairs, things are mostly done step by step.
Special things are all related to transactions.
The gold belt, the pills, and the blue and red jewelry, two were made in-house, and the other was from the imperial pharmacy. They were all in the palace, and everyone knew about them.
Only about the cashmere weaving field, my elder brother on the southern tour knew something about it, but he didn't know much.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "That's not a good idea! If you are really willing to help and trust me in my ability, it will be a pleasure to pay for it; if you are worried that I will lose all the borrowed money and not be able to pay it back, then you will definitely be stingy.
.”
Brother Ten said: "Okay, let's do it like this."
It just so happens that the cashmere weaving farm is still undergoing trial processing. It seems that the technology for washing wool is immature. It is only producing a small number of samples and has not yet reached a large scale. It will indeed take a year and a half before the profits can be seen.
After saying this, the two brothers said goodbye.
Brother Jiu reminded: "I agreed, I can't tell you Fujin!"
The tenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, don't worry!"
Only then did Brother Ninth enter the second house with satisfaction.
Shu Shu had finished her lunch and was leaning on the kang in the study, holding a copy of the "Three Character Classic" in her hand.
From the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, she became a porcelain doll.
If you take one more step, everyone around you will follow suit.
Shu Shu also felt a little unsure.
After the initial joy, she became a little nervous.
There was more awe and helplessness in her heart.
It seems that the pregnancy period is 280 days, nine and a half months.
It’s less than a month now…
There are still eight and a half months...
She regretted it a little.
Since I had planned to get pregnant after moving, I should have some control over it.
When Brother Jiu came in, he saw Shu Shu looking like he was absent-minded. He sat down by the kang and said, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"
Shu Shu sat up, shook her head, looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Sir, I still want to move. Can I go to the Qintian Prison and ask to see how I can avoid disturbing the fetal god..."
What are you afraid of?
This is the power of Taoism, it can be cracked.
Brother Jiu didn't respond immediately and said: "Why did you think of this? Do you miss your mother-in-law and uncle-in-law? If that's the case, after a while, you can bring them into the palace to accompany you..."
It’s not like there are no relatives coming to the harem.
When a young palace concubine gives birth, she can be given grace and allow the family elders to enter the palace to accompany her during the pregnancy.
Although there is no precedent here, it should not be difficult to think about it. This place is more relaxed than the inner court.
Shu Shu said with a bitter face: "We have planned it well before. Let's act more casually in our own house without so many people watching."
Brother Jiu has misunderstood.
He thought Shu Shu was worried about the last two princesses.
Nowadays, it is indeed inconvenient.
The prince's movements cannot be hidden from the people on duty.
Those two princesses are indeed of ordinary appearance. If Khan Amma one day remembers that there are few people serving here, and points two princesses at random, not to mention affecting the relationship between the couple, there will be even more idle people to support.
Brother Jiu said: "At the end of the month, I will go to the Qintian Prison to ask, and I should be able to find a solution."
Shu Shu immediately laughed and said, "Is there really a solution?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said firmly: "There must be one. That is the Qintian Prison. There are several Taoist priests, all of whom are famous Taoist masters."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "That's great, then we should move at the end of the month to avoid getting cold if it is later."
Seeing that she was happy, Brother Jiu was happy to indulge her and said, "I'll listen to you. It's better to go back to our own home, so as not to have to endure two more coughs in the palace."
Shu Shu was confused again and said: "Let's see what the Qintian Prison says first. If there is really no way to resolve it, then we can move again next year."
Brother Jiu said: "We'll talk about it when the time comes. Don't think about this first..."
Having said this, he looked at Shu Shu's belly and said: "At first, I thought that boys and girls were the same. Now that I think about it, let's have a little brother... I saw my second sister today. She is thirty.
After surrendering at the end of the year, this is the first time this year that I have returned to court..."
The second princess, Princess Heshuo Rongxian?
Shu Shu was very curious.
You must know that there were several princesses of Kangxi who were granted the title of Princess Gu Lun, but two of them were granted the title by Yongzheng, and only Princess Rongxian was canonized by Kangxi himself.
This emperor's eldest daughter was deeply favored by Kangxi.
But Concubine Rong behaves with the same temperament as Third Brother...
Princess Rongxian is the daughter of Concubine Rong and the sister of the third elder brother.
"How is the princess' temperament?"
Shu Shu asked.
Brother Jiu remembered the hugging ceremony between the siblings at noon, shook his head and said: "It doesn't look like the daughter of Concubine Rong, but more like the daughter of Concubine Hui and Concubine Hui. I seem to have heard someone say that Concubine Hui raised her
Second sister, I don’t know if it’s true or not…”
After hearing this, Shu Shu understood that he had a cheerful and cheerful temperament.
Brother Ninth Brother already laughed out loud and said: "I just didn't expect that the second sister who I remember as being somewhat fierce and aggressive is actually a short person, similar to the seventh sister-in-law..."
When the siblings met at noon, they felt a little uncomfortable because they didn't think about the height issue.
Thinking about it now, isn't the second sister much shorter than him?
Shu Shu was a little surprised and said: "Concubine Rong is not short in stature."
The third elder brother is also taller than any other prince.
Brother Ninth thought for a while and said: "Then she should follow the Queen Mother. Concubine Tong's mother is not tall, and I remember that Tong Enie is not tall either..."
The Queen Mother here is Queen Xiaokangzhang.
Shu Shu thought of Concubine Tong and said, "The Holy Emperor will return to the palace tomorrow. Shouldn't it be time for the empresses to move the palace as well?"
Yongshou Palace and Changchun Palace have been restored.
As early as when Yifei moved back from Changchun Garden in mid-July, no one continued the construction of these two palaces.
Brother Jiu said: "It should be so. We are moving just before winter. But before moving, we should have granted the title of nobleman Guarjia, right?"
The internal leaders have been selected, and the apse of Changchun Palace has been prepared, but the only thing missing is the status.
This man's popularity is well known.
When he entered the palace last year from the draft, he was directly considered a noble person.
Then last year's eastward tour, this spring's southern tour, and this autumn's northern tour, all Guarja nobles were among the accompanying harem.
In the early harem, the most favored one was Concubine Yi, and the younger ones were Concubine Zhang and Guiren Wang.
But really speaking, Zhang Concubine and Wang Guiren are not considered young either.
Concubine Zhang is in her thirties, and Guiren Wang is also in her thirties.
The two of them were favored at about the same age as the noble Gualja is now.
Now the old man has not been replaced, but a new man has emerged.
Shu Shu said: "Then should we prepare gifts?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'll call Lao Shi back and ask my eldest brother and fourth brother to see if they prepared any gifts for me that time in the 29th year."
In the twenty-ninth year, Concubine Tong entered the palace and was conferred the title of concubine without any ceremony.
Going forward, in the twenty-eighth year, Concubine Wei and Concubine Zhang were conferred the title of concubine.
All can be referenced.
Shu Shu put the matter down.
Brother Ninth simply washed up and asked for nothing else, just a bowl of small wontons.
Because Shu Shu was afraid that she would be hungry, the dining room had prepared some dumplings and wontons every day from the past few days, which was more convenient.
Seeing Shu Shu looking at him eagerly, Brother Jiu said, "How about you accompany me to have something to eat?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then I'll have a bowl. I don't want pure meat, but chicken with celery..."
Walnut happened to be waiting at the door, and Brother Jiu asked her to go to the dining room to deliver a message.
Shu Shu touched her belly and felt that it was all in her mind, so she had to restrain herself.
Otherwise, if you continue to eat like this, it will really become five fattening meals a day.
Brother Jiu comforted him: "You can eat if you want. This is because the child is hungry..."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him.
How big can a one-month-old fetus be?
None are as big as broad beans.
After eating the wontons, Shu Shu started to feel sleepy, which was also because she didn't get a good rest last night.
Brother Jiu didn't leave either, he just watched from the side, a little worried.
I had such a cough last night, it would be strange if I could rest well.
I still have to think of ways to reduce phlegm and relieve cough.
Brother Jiu looked at the bookcase and had the idea of flipping through the books.
Throughout the afternoon, Brother Jiu was reading medical books.
He originally went there for a prescription to relieve his cough, but he couldn't help but also wanted to find a prescription for preparing for labor.
If he thought it was useful, he would copy it down in his notebook.
As soon as Shu Shu woke up, she saw Brother Jiu sitting behind the desk, concentrating.
Many of those medical books were large, and Shu Shu often read them.
She recognized it at a glance, and felt soft in her heart, feeling a little happy.
Perhaps her uneasiness these past few days was due to the two princesses in the backyard.
After all, according to the current social norms, it is not a fault for a husband and wife to be in love, but being pregnant and dominating a man is just jealousy.
Bullshit jealousy…
Could it be that I had a big belly, worked hard to conceive and give birth to a child, and watched my ninth elder brother carefree...
Shu Shu was in a low mood and couldn't help grinding her teeth.
If Brother Jiu really dares to take that step, it will be a big deal for him to "respect each other as guests"...
Brother Jiu was tired from copying, so he put down his pen and rubbed his wrist.
Sensing something was wrong, he looked at the kang and saw Shu Shu's eyes flashing with tears.
He hurriedly stood up and walked over, saying, "What's wrong?"
Shu Shu covered her eyes with her arms and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I just miss Enie and Amo..."
