In the west room, Shu Shu was leaning on the pillow and pestering Madam Uncle.
"Anyway, I want Ah Mou to accompany me. Ah Mou will also ask someone to help me prepare whatever I want to eat..."
She swallowed the fragrant pine nuts in her mouth, took Mrs. Bo's arm, and whispered: "Otherwise, Master Jiu goes to the Yamen every day, and I am the only one in the family. How pitiful..."
While helping her peel pine nuts, Mrs. Bo said lovingly: "Don't worry, it will be convenient then. If you miss me, just send someone back and I will take a car to see you..."
Shu Shu said with a hint of arrogance: "No, I can't wait! Now there's something wrong with me. Whatever I want to eat, I have to eat it right away; I have to see whoever I want to see right away, otherwise I'll feel uncomfortable..."
Jueluo Shi brought Fusong and Jiu Age came in. After hearing this, he glared at her and said, "Then she deserves a beating!"
Shu Shu was afraid that he would not be able to get off the stage if he revealed the truth, so he smiled and said, "Have you been to the Qintian Prison?"
Brother Jiu said: "I'm moving in early on the 26th, so you can just enter the house before noon."
Shu Shu stopped worrying and said: "Don't run here tomorrow, pick me up the day after tomorrow..."
After all, the preparations for moving are complicated, and we can't leave them all to Brother Ten alone.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, a little worried.
Shu Shu said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying at home with A Mou."
Brother Jiu reluctantly nodded...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The tenth prince is apologizing to Kangxi.
"My son is overthinking it. Seeing that Mr. Yin De is honest and loyal, I thought that bringing him up would be a mutually advantageous thing. But after all, we are not familiar with each other, and there is something that said we couldn't get married before, so our daily interactions are awkward.
Let’s get together and part ways!”
Kangxi's face showed no emotion or anger. He glanced at the Tenth Prince and said, "But now is the time when you really want to hire people. Do you have a long-term alternative?"
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "My son is not familiar with people outside, and he is young and lacks the ability to recognize people. It is better for Khan Ama to point him out!"
Kangxi thought of the report from the Infantry Command Yamen in the afternoon and said: "The Yin De family has a funeral today..."
Brother Ten was stunned.
This is the inconvenience inside and outside the palace.
He really didn't know the news.
"Which one..."
Brother Ten asked.
If you are an elder, you will have to send someone over to express your condolences.
Kangxi said: "Yin De's eldest son died..."
Brother Ten didn't think anything else, he just lamented: "No wonder people say that 'children are difficult to raise'. This is quite uncomfortable..."
But he had no intention of changing his mind and said: "Yan Zhu left a first-class bodyguard before. My son thought about it and asked Lord Yin De to transfer him..."
Kangxi nodded and said: "I understand. You don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I will transfer him to another position after I find a suitable person."
"It's causing trouble to Khan Amma..."
Brother Ten said with shame.
Kangxi also felt a little uncomfortable.
Sisters Empress Xiao Zhao and Concubine Wen Xi were not only his cousins, but also his more lovable concubines.
Only the blood of the tenth prince is left.
Kangxi's eyes became filled with kindness and he said: "Brother Ninth is willful, and you are also making fools of yourself, but you don't want to think about how living in a mansion is so simple!"
The tenth prince sneered and said: "Isn't this all provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? With Khan Ama here, the sons don't have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt..."
Kangxi couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this, and said: "Can we still go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for supply?"
The tenth brother said: "The ninth brother planned according to the ten-year and eight-year plans, and said that if there is less, it will be a loss!"
Kangxi snorted: "Where is this crooked account?"
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "Follow the eldest brother, the third brother and the others are competing..."
Kangxi said: "It's time to cut off your supply and let you drink from the northwest wind!"
The tenth prince smiled and didn't say much.
If you don’t have a stipend, you have to provide daily necessities.
If you choose one of the two, he and Ninth Brother are actually not at a loss.
As for the banner population, if you don’t have it, you don’t have it, and you don’t have to worry.
When Brother Ten withdrew, Kangxi thought thoughtfully and said to Liang Jiugong: "Compared with Lao Jiu, Lao Ten is more sensible. Why do you still follow Lao Jiu and do all the mischief on weekdays?"
This person is obviously smarter than Lao Jiu, but when brothers get along with each other on weekdays, they always follow Brother Jiu's decision.
Aren't you afraid of being led into a ditch by Lao Jiu?
Liang Jiugong thought for a while and said: "Master Ten lost his mother, and he looks very dependent on Master Nine..."
There are so many princes and elder brothers, and it is not only the ninth elder brother who is similar in age, but the only one among the ten elder brothers who is close to him is the ninth elder brother.
Kangxi remained silent.
He also lost his mother, and he personally watched and raised the prince, so the 10th elder brother had little to do with him.
At that time, Concubine Wen Xi passed away, and he also thought about whether to find an adoptive mother for his ten princes. The candidates were Concubine Hui, the first of the four concubines, and Concubine Yi, who was familiar with Concubine Wen Xi.
Later, I felt it was inappropriate, and since the 10th prince was already in his teens, not just a few years old, I left it alone.
This long history of candidates...
Kangxi was afraid that he would not be able to do his best if he directly hired outsiders, and planned to choose among the Niu Hulu family's children.
Since the wife clan of the Tenth Elder Brother is not in the capital, he seems to be weaker than others.
We can't let outsiders see that Brother Ten has no relatives and friends to rely on, and then be looked down upon and looked down upon.
Kangxi thought about the children of Niu Hulu family and thought of someone.
He is the first-class bodyguard Bose, who once accompanied the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother when he went south, and is the descendant of the eighth brother of the Niu Hulu family.
This person is also He Yi’s brother-in-law...
That's fine too.
He wanted to transfer He Yi away, but not at this time. Otherwise, it would only make the prince hate his ninth elder brother.
I still have to go through this period of time and find out if I have an attack.
This Bose is quite considerate in his actions, and now he is also serving as the martial arts master in the study.
Chang Shi on the Tenth Prince's side is easy to change, but it's the ceremony on the Ninth Prince's side.
From the fifth grade...
If the position of chief of ceremonies was still there, it would not be so difficult to choose the candidate for Kangxi.
But at this level, it is difficult to find an old person.
Officials of too low a rank could not get along with the emperor...

On the twenty-fifth day, Shu Shu followed Mrs. Bo at the uncle's house.
Unable to bear her insistence, Mrs. Bo finally nodded and agreed to go and stay with her for a while.
Shu Shu began to summon people to pack up all the furnishings in Mrs. Bo's living room.
Mrs. Bo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "There is no need to go through all this trouble, just stay here for a month..."
Shu Shu counted on her fingers and said: "In a month's time, the winter months will begin, and we will start to prepare for the New Year. This year is the first year we celebrate the New Year outside. How can we do this favor ceremony without people watching?
I'm afraid I'm going to get tired..."
Mrs. Bo disapproved and said: "If there are other Fujins here, you can just follow the rules. Why bother?"
Shu Shu said: "But all the money has been spent, and it can be seen whether you are careful or not. You can't give a gift in vain."
Mrs. Bo said angrily: "It's a crooked word again, so it's useless to be strong!"
Shu Shu said: "I don't want to be the best, I just want the golden mean..."
Mrs. Bo snorted: "Your moderation is a bit false..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Middle-middle is average, and middle-to-high is also average. Naturally, middle-to-high is better."
The two women were chatting, and a girl came in from outside to report, "Madam, Fujin, Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin are here..."
Today is the day of greetings at Ningshou Palace. The two of them have already received the news and know that the Prince's Mansion has begun to sweep and prepare to move.
Yesterday afternoon, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother went to the prince's mansion one after another, but they didn't ask anything.
Before the two entered the palace this morning, the masters of each family mentioned it.
Even if we don't mention it, we still need to pay attention to it because of their sister-in-law relationship.
I thought I could ask Shu Shu this morning, but when I met Shi Fujin, I realized that she had actually left the palace.
After the sisters-in-law left the palace, they became uninvited guests.
Si Fujin, on the other hand, was also going to come, but unexpectedly something happened and he was guarded outside the palace by people from Si Beile Mansion, so he was invited back directly.
Mrs. Bo looked at Shu Shu.
Although there is no post like this, it would be a bit presumptuous to visit directly.
But there are also people. If they were not really close and friendly, the two princes Fujin would not be so rash.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Needless to say, the seventh sister-in-law was also raised by A Mou, and the fifth sister-in-law is also close and kind to me..."
She didn't ask for help, and went out with Madam Uncle to greet him.
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin took their seats in the flower hall in the front yard.
Wu Fujin was worried, but Qi Fujin knew the details of Shu Shu and knew that he was not willing to suffer. He comforted Wu Fujin and said: "Don't worry, it's not that pitiful. I decided to take the opportunity to go back to my parents' house for two days..."
When Mrs. Bo and Shu Shu came in, they both stood up.
This one is also an ethnic girl.
Mrs. Bo greeted the two of them and said, "You two sisters-in-law have a chat, and we will leave after lunch."
Shu Shu didn't give the two of them a chance to decline, and said directly: "I wanted to eat at Lu Helou's table. I sent someone to order two tables this morning. Lucky for you two sisters-in-law."
Luhelou is a time-honored restaurant on Xisi Fourth Street that is famous for its banquets.
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Wu Fujin did not disappoint and nodded.
Qi Fujin was drooling and said, "Their grilled sea cucumber is a must-have, but I haven't had it in a few years..."
Mrs. Bo found an excuse and went out, leaving the flower room to the three of them to talk.
Wu Fujin then said with worry: "What you say here and there is nonsense. Master Wu caught Brother Jiu yesterday, but he didn't ask for the reason. He worried about it for half the night. What is the reason?
What?"
After hearing this, Shu Shu knew that the ninth elder brother was worried that the fifth elder brother would confront the prince, so he also changed his excuse and covered up the matter between the prince and He Yi, saying: "It was planned long ago. Since Xia Tian
After living in Haidian, I didn’t want to go back to the palace. I started to be shy again and felt uncomfortable. Thinking of my elders, I cried twice. Our father felt sorry for me and planned to move out before I got up..."
What she said was true.
What else to do?
It was not appropriate for her and Brother Jiu to tell the prince's affairs, otherwise what would Kangxi think?
It seemed like they had a grudge against the prince and were trying to sow discord between the prince and other princes.
Even if the matter is not hidden, there is no need for them to advertise it widely.
