Even though he hadn't passed it, he had heard that the Board of Directors of the Department of Precaution and Punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had its own rules and regulations.
Unless the master nods, he will not easily kill someone.
If Khan Amma wanted to attack the people of the four houses, he could just order them to be executed without any unnecessary trouble.
Although the empress does not have the habit of eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, she does not have the temperament to demand the life of a palace servant because her son is ill.
Then, why did Mengshi die?
It was rare for Brother Ninth to remain calm and did not show any abnormality.
It was not until late at night that he mentioned the matter to his wife in a low voice.
Shu Shu's heart immediately sank.
"Maybe there is another possibility..."
Shu Shu pondered and said softly: "It's Meng's husband's family who won't tolerate her... I'll ask someone to inquire later and see what her family says..."
This is not difficult to guess.
The whole family is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so if you are worried about being implicated, it is only humane.
Forty dollars, even if it doesn't cost one life, it still costs half a life.
At this time, it is very easy to neglect care and try to do something.
Brother Jiu was originally full of suspicion and resentment. After hearing these words, he was comforted and sat up: "There is still such a possibility. I didn't expect it..."
"Otherwise, there is an old saying among the people, 'Husband and wife are like birds in the same forest, and they fly apart when disaster strikes.' Not to mention others, it is my nanny, Ani, whose early experiences are also stories... This man is snobbish and cool, and can be compared to women.
Cruel..."
Shu Shu picked and talked about the experience of Nanny Wu going to the church.
Brother Jiu was a little unsure and hesitated: "Why do you do this? You already have children, and you don't have any affection at all?"
Shu Shu glanced at him and said: "Who knows that men are accustomed to being happy with the new and hating the old... I will leave behind my 28-year-old and 38-year-old first wife, and I will have an 18-year-old wife waiting for me... If life is smooth, I can't tell what is going on in my heart.
Dislike is just disgust; if we can justifiably change people, why not?"
Brother Jiu was dissatisfied and said: "Why are you telling me this? I am such a lecherous and immoral person?"
Shu Shu smiled and said nothing, but couldn't help but glance at Brother Jiu.
If he was really like that, then she wouldn't be able to give up his little brother just for the sake of losing a few bastards and concubines...
When the ninth elder brother ordered Yao Zixiao to go out and inquire around, he felt that his interest was waning.
As expected, Meng's husband had already remarried, and he was not married to anyone else, but to the widow Jin who was born in Gaoli Zuoling.
This Jin family is Guidan's aunt and the sister of the ninth elder brother's eldest aunt.
Because of his connection with the Jin family, Meng's husband also filled the gap in the Ministry of Internal Affairs' money and food office last year.
The Finance and Liang Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of renting and taxing the Imperial Village, which is also a rare good job among the errands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"There is such a man. He is from an ordinary family. It was because his wife had studied in the early years and was chosen as the prince's nanny that his family became wealthy... Before anyone else could add insult to injury, the person next to him urged him to separate the first few children.
The families are separated, the married people only focus on living with their step-wives, and they treat their step-sons and step-daughters better than their biological children... The Jin family is also short-sighted, how could they marry such a ruthless and unjust family..."
Brother Jiu was hesitant after he left, and felt a lot more relaxed. He couldn't help but complain to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu sighed and said: "The more a man has eaten soft rice, the easier it is to be heartless... He can't bear the days of being soft rice. Once he turns over, he wishes to wipe out the past..."
As for the Jin family, it's hard for Shu Shu to comment. After all, he is an in-law of the Guo Luoluo family.
In fact, she remembered the saying that birds of a feather flock together.
As for the death of Grandma Meng...
Is there really no doubt?
Shu Shu doesn't think so.
What if you think about it from another angle?
The more reasonable the explanation, the more likely it is that it is unreasonable.
The Jin family is related by marriage to the concubine. Even if a widowed aunt returns to her parents' family, she will not worry about remarrying.
Why choose Meng’s husband who just lost his wife?
Who pulled the string and built the bridge?
If there was no Jin waiting to remarry, would Meng die so quickly?!
It’s true that Brother Jiu is too young and doesn’t know how to hide his emotions.
Shu Shu didn't dare to say too much to him, and she didn't want him to hold on to this and show off his flaws, "snatching the enemy".
*
Brother Jiu went to the manufacturing office for two days, but stopped going and resumed his trip to the study room.
It’s the hot days that are unbearable, not only in the second school, but also in the study room. Ice is provided every day, but the quantity is limited, and it’s still not hot enough.
Fortunately, Brother Ninth grew up in the palace and was used to the sweltering heat of the palace.
Shu Shu suffered a lot. She took a bath every morning and evening, but accidentally she still developed prickly heat on her armpits and back. She even applied pearl powder on it, but it didn't work much.
"The Holy Master will be at Changchun Garden every year at this time... it won't be so difficult..."
When Brother Jiu saw it, he felt a little heartbroken: "This year Khan Ama will pay a visit to the mausoleum in Shengjing in honor of the Empress Dowager. He will come back from the garden in June, otherwise he will live in the garden, which will be much cooler than in the palace...
…”
Shu Shu counted the days in her mind and estimated that it would be hot for more than two months, showing an expression of despair.
She thought about the reason, and it was probably because she had "grounded herself" and stopped exercising every day.
Then the cat was in the house, stuffy...
She no longer cares about staying in the palace!
She wants to leave the palace as soon as possible!
Summer in the Forbidden City is so difficult!
I remember that when I was at my parents’ house, ice cubes were plentiful and the room was always cool, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable in summer.
In addition, she has her own yard, where she can stay at home and wear light materials.
In these two houses, even if she was in the house, someone might see her at some point and she would not dare to dress wantonly.
But Shushu is Shushu after all. Even in the bitter summer, Brother Jiu's diet is still taken care of clearly.
In the meantime, I invited Dr. Yin twice to inquire and make adjustments.
The more this happened, the more distressed Brother Jiu became.
We can't endure this hardship...
Brother Jiu looked towards the Qianqing Palace and had an idea.
*
Shu Shu is not a selfish person. It is difficult even for her as the master, so she naturally understands the difficulties of others.
Others don't have ice to cool down.
"The water-carrying eunuch is rewarded with a monthly routine...carry two more tanks of water in the morning and evening, and sprinkle water once in the morning and afternoon..."
Shu Shu ordered Xiao Chun, and the only way she could think of to cool down was this: "Sweep and sprinkle the eunuch, if you have time, you can also carry water every morning and evening, plus half a month..."
Xiao Chun went down to deliver a message, and Sun Jin asked to see him. His expression was hurried and strange.
"What's wrong? Someone is making things difficult in the imperial dining room?"
Shu Shu immediately thought of this.
Examples of the two institutes are taken one day at a time.
It's the same pork, but the quality is different.
Normally, the pork in the master's portion is mostly suckling pig pork of fifty kilograms size, while the pork in the other palace people's portions is ordinary pork.
There are also specially requested chickens and ducks, with different quality types.
Sun Jin frowned and shook his head: "Master, it's not like this... I have a little brother who entered the palace in the same year. He was in the cleaning class of Qianqing Palace... He said he heard a rumor recently... about the master going to the head office a few days ago... …”
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was lifted. Just by looking at Sun Jin's unspeakable reaction, she knew that this rumor was not a good thing.
Is this the revenge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Pour sewage on yourself?
Where is the appearance of Master Ba again...
"What kind of rumor is this?"
Shu Shu asked slowly.
Sun Jin pressed his chin to his chest, not daring to raise his head to look at Shu Shu's face, and replied honestly: "It's true... it's true... I'm in love with Ba Fujin... In order to save Ba Fujin's face, he once asked his maternal family to help Ba Fujin Zhang Luo married and gave birth... The master knew about it and became jealous, so he found an excuse to go to the head office to make a fuss. I felt guilty and did not dare to deal with the master..."
Shu Shu exhaled slowly and slowly.
No matter what you say, this rumor is 30% true and 70% false, and it actually sounds quite logical.
It is in this rumor that the ninth elder brother is too pitiful, a licking dog who devotes himself silently and misses his sister-in-law.
Jiu Fujin herself is not that good either. In the middle of her wedding month, she has become a resentful woman who has lost all sense of control due to jealousy...
*
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Brother Jiu stood with his hands down, still wondering in his heart.
Could it be that he and Khan Amma have a "clear understanding"?
As soon as I had the idea of asking to see Khan Amma, I was summoned.
Just... just make a request directly, okay?
In the thirty-fourth and thirty-sixth years of Khan Amma’s reign, he took himself and Lao Shi with him on two inspection tours outside the Great Wall...
He was still a virgin at that time, but now he is a married adult.
How do you ask to take your wife to escape the summer outside the Great Wall?
Brother Ninth was still hesitating, but Kangxi had already drooped his face and scolded: "Stand still! What are you doing, crooked!"
Brother Jiu raised his head and noticed something was wrong.
Doesn't this mean you want to get close to your son?
What mistakes have you made recently?
Brother Jiu immediately thought of what happened the day before yesterday, and immediately admitted his mistake: "Khan Ama, they are all sons, aren't they... Because of his illness, he felt unhappy and couldn't say anything in front of Fujin, so he ran to find Brother B I asked for a drink, but there was a misunderstanding... It was all because my son was worried..."
Kangxi couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
There is no hint here or there that the Eighth Prince and his wife are not at all wrong, and they also protect the wife who has done something wrong.
Lao Jiu is actually a solid child.
"Confused!"
Kangxi scolded him with a straight face: "Tell me carefully, what's going on with helping Guo Luoluo buy the marriage property?"
He left an old man behind just to take over Zhenglan Banner in the future, but he didn't want to give him another partner.
He hates Prince An's family, but this stupid son went up to the pole to get involved with Marhun, Prince of Prince An, what an unfilial son!
"ah?"
Brother Ninth's eyes widened and he was very surprised: "In what lifetime did this happen? How did Khan Ama know? Isn't it because Malhun was afraid of Tai Fujin and couldn't help the eighth sister-in-law purchase the marriage property in a big way, so he entrusted
When it came to his son, he agreed. After all, he was also making face for the Eighth Brother..." At this point, he hesitated and decided to tell the truth: "My son had no one else outside the palace to help him, so he gave the order to Gui Dan. Unexpectedly, Gui Dan
Dan Na wanted to take advantage and took the opportunity to lower the price in the name of his son... Dong E heard about it at the time and felt it was inappropriate. He thought that this 'low price forced sale' would affect his son's reputation, so he took the price at the normal price.
industry……"
As for Shu Shu who stopped him later and disapproved of adding makeup, he hid himself and said: "My son loves face. Although he is not happy, he doesn't want to argue with Dong E's family. He happened to know that Bago was in a tight situation, so he sent someone to reply to Malhun's refusal.
After learning about this matter, I directly took out the three thousand taels of silver from the property purchase and gave it to Bage as gift money..."
