Just like the dispute between Suo'etu and Mingzhu.
The two formed a clique for personal gain, criticized each other, and were finally dismissed. Even if they were later re-elected, they would still be serving as ministers.
On the other side of Suo'etu, because he wanted to take care of the prince, he quickly recovered and is still standing.
Qi Xi couldn't say anything, so he just asked: "Is there any news from the emperor about choosing a residence for Master Jiu?"
Brother Jiu lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "I'm afraid it won't work for a while..."
Qi Xi fell into deep thought, trying to think of a way.
This girl lives in the palace, has no information, and is beyond her reach when things happen.
If they really don't open a house for three to five years, their hair will turn gray.
Because Shu Shu and Brother Jiu had to go out for shopping, they could only stay at Dong E's house for half a day.
Shu Shu talked with Jueluo for a while, and then went to the uncle's house with Jiu Age to visit the uncle and his wife.
Uncle Jiu also suffered a bitter summer. He looked thinner than when he first met at the beginning of the month, but he was still in good spirits. He smiled and said to Brother Jiu: "I also want to thank Brother Jiu for the good ginseng he sent back last time. I asked the imperial doctor to prepare other medicinal materials.
I have brewed ginseng wine and I think I can open it by the end of the year..." At this point, he said to Shu Shu: "I asked the imperial doctor that ginseng wine can nourish the spleen and lungs and can also cure coughs. I will leave half a jar for you later..."
"The relationship is good, I'm waiting for uncle's ginseng wine..."
Shu Shu smiled and agreed, knowing in her heart that it was weird.
Although my uncle has never been an official in his life, he has always been considerate in his behavior. No one has ever said a bad word to him. Now he has the temerity to mention his niece's cough?
It seems that he used this as a cover to distribute ginseng wine to them legitimately.
It seems that there are no secrets not only in the palace, but also in the capital city.
Even if the outside world didn't fully know the news about Ninth Prince's frail health, the powerful people must have caught wind of it.
Brother Jiu was by the side and couldn't see the quarrel between the uncle and nephew. He just thought that the uncle really loved his niece and said politely: "Tomorrow I will go to Shengjing with my retinue. I will see if I can exchange it again."
Some good ginseng... Now that we have the recipe for wine, we can brew more. My uncle and his father-in-law will be richer after drinking..."
The uncle was really interested: "If you really want to find a good one, the more the better... The price of ginseng has doubled in recent years compared to previous years, and good ones are rare on the market..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.
Regarding this fool, there are not many records before the prince was abolished.
Even if he was accused of being "greedy and lustful", he was mostly responsible for deposing the crown prince.
For the crime of "greed for money", in addition to sending his subordinates to do business and open a pawn shop, he mainly used his identity as Yongfu's father-in-law to steal most of Mingzhu's family property. There is also a charge of sending his eunuchs to secretly collect ginseng in the Northeast.
Jiangnan sells it at a high price.
Since ancient times, Liaodong has produced ginseng.
At present, Liao ginseng is the first ginseng.
However, because the Black Mountains and White Waters in the Northeast are the land of "Dragon Xing", the imperial court has always had a "forbidden order" on mining.
Eight Banners subjects need permission to collect ginseng in a fixed area. Otherwise, they are collecting ginseng privately and will be prosecuted according to law.
Shu Shu's heart skipped a beat. I had been to Changbai Mountain in my previous life and had heard a lot about the history of ginseng garden participation in the forest. I had also been to the largest ginseng distribution center and saw ginseng being sold like radishes.
Even when eating, I eat ginseng dipping sauce, shredded ginseng and the like, just like eating radishes.
Perhaps, this is also an open source approach.
Just can't adapt to the current situation, that's not what the bald man can do.
This is more suitable for the official.
However, if you have the opportunity, you can buy a piece of forest land around Shengjing to prepare for the future.
Mrs. Bo was aware of Shu Shu's squeamishness, and knew that she was thin in the summer, and she didn't look angry. She was relieved, but she still asked: "How is your relationship with Ba Fujin? There are unpleasant rumors outside.
This is not the time to vent your anger..."
"There was some minor friction before, but it has been reconciled on the surface early..."
Shu Shu comforted: "Don't worry, A'mu. It's okay for my niece. Sometimes there's no harm in taking a step back..."
Mrs. Bo nodded: "That's right, you are still a newlywed daughter-in-law... Be soft when you should be soft..."
Shu Shu nodded obediently.
I can't be as wanton as Wu Fujin and Ba Fujin, so I can just pretend to be good and be good for a while.
Due to lack of time, the young couple sat there for two-quarters of an hour and chatted with Xizhu and his wife for a few words, then left and returned to Dutong Mansion.
Jueluo Shi has prepared a table of food, all of which are Shu Shu's favorite foods, such as poached fish, cold perilla leaves, charcoal grilled lamb chops, melon meatballs...
There are many kinds of things, and a table is set up.
When the Jueluo family was in the spring and Autumn period, there were no foreign guests, so there was no place for them to sit.
Brother Jiu looked at the food on the table, many of which were dishes he had never seen before, and knew that his wife's emphasis on appetite was a family tradition.
Shu Shu did remember to bring the recipes when she came back. They were all new dishes that she had thought up over the past few days.
In addition to the daily diet, there are also several recipes for replenishing qi and nourishing the body, which the uncle and his son can use, and Shu Shu also marked them.
After dinner, it was already noon, so Shu Shu took the time to meet the two companions.
Nowadays, the two-room population is housed in a dowry house in Shushu.
Grandma Zhou's eldest grandson's family, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, are responsible for keeping an eye on several shops in the city.
Lin's second son's family, Lin Er and his wife, were in charge of Zhuangzi and the land outside the city.
I asked Fu Song to keep an eye on the general ledger, but everything seemed normal.
After seeing the account book and thinking of Fusong, Shu Shu couldn't help but worry again. She reminded Jueluo in private: "Should Enie also help look after Xiang? This will save my uncle and aunt from having to make up my mind..."
Fusong is fifteen years old and can discuss marriage. He will be a man next year and move out to live.
After all, Zhuliang was already engaged when she was fourteen.
Regarding the important matter of marriage, parents' orders, and matchmaker's words, if Uncle Shushu had taken matters into his own hands and chosen an inappropriate family, he would have cheated Fusong.
Jue Luo's face looked ugly: "Fusong, it's hard to find someone..."
Unless she is found in a small family, a slightly better family will not be willing to marry their daughter into a family that has abandoned the clan.
But even the Jueluo family looked down upon the daughter of the ordinary Banner Ding family.
In fact, the best way is to find a candidate from Fusong's maternal family, but Fusong's maternal family has no immediate relatives, only relatives, and there was a bitter quarrel over the inheritance back then.
Because of the rules of the "Eight Flags Draft", many people are looking forward to Gao Zhi.
Shu Shu also knew Fusong's shortcomings. His younger brother was good no matter how he saw it, but because of his lack of future, he was not among the choices of many people when choosing a son-in-law.
She kept this matter in her heart, after all, life-long events cannot be rushed.
The young couple came out of Dutong Mansion and took a carriage directly to Gulou Street.
Among the elders of the Guo Luoluo family, there was only one person who needed to bother giving gifts, and that was Sanguan Bao, the father of Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi's biological mother and aunt's mother both died, and the three officials were in their sixties and did not remarry.
Concubine Yi has several younger brothers left. Only the eldest brother is from the same birth, and has been scheduled to be the fifth elder brother, the Chief of Ceremonies of Baylor Mansion. He is in the fourth rank and is in short supply.
It wasn't Concubine Yi who relied on her identity as biological mother to make arrangements for her younger brother, but the Queen Mother personally intervened and knew that Concubine Yi's brother had a coat and collar before he raised the flag. After raising the flag, he didn't make up the errand, so she called him to go.
As an errand at Baylor House.
When a prince opens a mansion, the guards and soldiers are allocated by the court, and the money and food are also drawn from the household department. There are ranks of guards and internal affairs officers in the mansion, and they can be appointed by themselves, either by in-laws or old friends, or they can be selected from the banners.
"My uncle's family will go to Beijing as a family before the Golden Festival... I've only met the other uncles twice when I was with the guard, but it's just a matter of face... My uncle's family is okay and they don't have any daughters. The other uncles' families
I have several daughters, two of whom are already married..."
Speaking of this, there was sarcasm on his face: "We haven't raised the flag before. They wanted to send it to the capital for a small election. They wanted to send it to the fifth brother and his uncle. They are relatives and have a small friendship, so they went there."
The latter one, Fujin, can't run away... How can the empress allow them to plot this? She found two idle clans and married them directly..."
Listening to Brother Jiu's words, Shu Shu remembered an old incident, which was the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sending a girl to the palace on the day after the wedding.
The leading maid at that time was more outstanding than the others, and her eyebrows were similar to Guidan's.
Shu Shu guessed at that time that this man was related to Guidan by blood, and he should be a member of the Gaolizuo Lingjin family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Guidan's mother clan.
I asked Xiaochun about it later, and sure enough it was true.
At that time, Shu Shu was heartbroken and just didn't know what to do and picked on others.
Now that she thought about it, she told Brother Jiu: "If the other distant relatives who are beyond the reach of eight poles can be treated, they will be left alone. But the relatives on the queen's side are related to the queen's face, so it is really difficult to let them in and manipulate her."
, I chose someone else.”
"Is there such a thing? How come I don't know about it?"
Brother Jiu frowned and recalled, but he only remembered that he asked if there was anyone who was born in the seventh inner warden of Zhengbai Banner. He could not recall the appearance of Guidan's in-law.
I still remember that Wang Da Niu was still the little palace maid named Wang Erniu, so she became the little palace maid in the courtyard, and her name seemed to be Guiyuan or Lizi.
"Why is the Jin family like this? They are so sneaky. It turns out that uncle Dang's room is nice, but it seems that it is because there are no girls..."
Brother Jiu hummed, a little unhappy: "There is something wrong with the Jin family, the family tradition is not good..."
In fact, by virtue of her status as concubine Yifei, the girl from the Jin family wanted to avoid the "small selection" just to say hello. After all, the number of palace ladies was limited, but the number of concubines in the Ministry of Internal Affairs has increased in recent years, and the candidates are very wealthy.
.
It's just greed, thinking of sending his daughter to the palace to seek wealth.
Shu Shu was thinking about the Jin family marrying off their daughter.
Perhaps we can follow the Jin family's line and check whether the person behind the scenes is Suo Etu, or whether there are others fishing in troubled waters.
The two went to Shun'an Silver Tower first, and then looked at Qianjinfang diagonally opposite.
Outside Qianjinfang, there was a hustle and bustle, and many older girls and younger daughters-in-law dressed in national flags entered the shop.
At the door of the shop, in addition to the young man who had just grown his hair, there were also two capable women in their thirties waiting for customers.
If you really want to talk about it, the clans and nobles in the Eight Banners are only a minority after all, and the majority are ordinary bannermen.
Therefore, Qianjinfang’s gold-clad silver jewelry business is obviously more popular than Shun’an Silver Building.
Brother Jiu's mouth formed a straight line.
If there hadn't been that lawsuit, this would have been his property.
