In Brother Jiu’s plan, he also wanted to make money through this jewelry shop.
Although it is not as cheap as outsiders, it is different after all.
If he still owned the shop, he would have given the money to his wife as pocket money, which would have seemed grand.
Now, this month, there are fifty taels of silver per month...
Shu Shu saw it and felt very funny in her heart.
It seems that Brother Ninth is really interested in economic business, but he still regrets it now.
However, she has decided to stay dormant and be a well-behaved prince, Fujin, and does not plan to make any more troubles in the near future.
The two went to an antique shop, also on Gulou Street.
"Grandpa likes rare things, made of rare materials. I ordered a rhinoceros horn carved pine wind cup here..."
Brother Jiu got off the carriage, then helped Shu Shu down and said.
Shu Shu raised her head and looked at the plaque on the shop, "Qingya Zhai".
This is a famous and prosperous shop on Gulou Street. It is famous for its cultural toys and is the property of the former powerful minister Mingzhu's family.
Although Mingzhu has no longer been the prime minister, he is still the minister of government affairs and is a first-class Guanglu doctor.
It is said that Mingzhu is a "descendant of the country's lord". The Yehenala tribe has a Miao descendant, and his great-aunt is Kangxi's grandmother, Empress Xiaoci. From this point of view, Mingzhu is Kangxi's cousin.
And because Mingzhu's first wife was the daughter of Azige, a member of the defunct clan, she was also Kangxi's cousin.
Mingzhu's late eldest son was a first-class bodyguard and a talented scholar of the Eight Banners, Nalan Xingde.
Mingzhu's second son Kuixu, a second-class bodyguard, married Geng Gege, the daughter of Heshuo Roujia.
This Geng Gege is also the granddaughter of Prince Anhe and the cousin of Ba Fujin.
The third son of Mingzhu, Kuifang, and the consort of Heshuo, married the eighth daughter of Prince Kangliang, who was Shu Shu's aunt.
Shu Shu thought about the relationship between this and could only curse in her heart. The Eight Banners cannot talk about relatives, otherwise they would all be related.
This Mingzhu's second son was later involved in the fight for the legitimate title, occupying the eighth elder brother's position. Perhaps it was also because of this cousin's brother-in-law relationship?
As for Brother Jiu’s recruitment of Fang Zi as his son-in-law, could it be because of his in-laws?
As soon as the two of them entered, a clever clerk came forward to greet them, and Brother Jiu showed a piece of deed paper, which was the deposit receipt from the previous payment.
The shopkeeper took it, looked it up with the remaining deed paper, took out a brocade box, and opened it himself.
Inside is a tawny rhinoceros horn cup with extremely exquisite carving.
Brother Ninth also took advantage of it. He looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was correct before taking out two banker tickets from his wallet.
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at Brother Jiu's purse from the corner of his eye.
Didn't you mention that it was just over a hundred taels of silver before, where did this banker's ticket come from?
Before, Brother Jiu said he would take her out to buy gifts. She thought she would have to spend money, so she had to bring the banknotes.
Brother Jiu noticed Shu Shu's gaze, his arms were a little stiff, and he smiled sarcastically: "It's not that we are short of money. Let's get some from Lao Shi..."
Shu Shu's temples jumped.
The fifth elder brother's debt has not been repaid, so he borrowed from the tenth elder brother?
Is this how distant and distant Brother Nine is?!
In front of others, Shu Shu just smiled and listened without saying anything. He only said: "Isn't this a small gift? Do you want to find something else..."
"no, I'm fine……"
Brother Ninth quickly shook his head: "Grandpa loved Chinese clothes, so Brother Five bought some pieces of tribute satin, that's enough..."
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, and the couple left the shop and got on the carriage.
The two of them did not return to the palace immediately, but walked around Gulou Street and looked at the clothing stores.
The store is not big, with two small stores, but the waiter at the door is smart and greets customers warmly, and the business seems to be good.
"I plan to leave this shop to Fu Song... Fu Song will transfer it to him when he becomes a man next year. He will be raised in my house since he was a child. Like Zhu Liang and others, he will have no future and can only be an idler with no means of livelihood.
Settling well, I, Eni, will also be concerned about it..."
The property under his own name can be managed by himself without having to explain anything to Brother Jiu, but Shu Shu still looks like he is sincere.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's up to you, it's also your filial piety towards your mother-in-law..."
In fact, Fu Song's appearance is so good, he and his wife are like siblings, and he is a smart little kid. Brother Ninth Brother has a good impression of him.
Although Brother Jiu felt uncomfortable hearing "cousin" and "cousin", Fusong was the exception.
Shu Shu mentioned Fu Song on purpose.
Maybe in the future, Ninth Prince will be ennobled and open a mansion, and Fusong can be appointed as the affairs officer of Beizi Mansion. People can't be idle all the time, otherwise they will become useless.
Brother Ninth Brother, who was rarely clear-eyed, also thought of this and hesitated: "Why don't you say hello to Brother Five first and leave a space for Fusong later?"
Because there was no hope of becoming a knight, he didn't think about it.
In the Baylor Mansion, in addition to the vacancy of civil servants, there is also a vacancy of military officers, that is, the palace guards.
There are ten Baylor guards, four second-class guards from the fourth rank, and six third-class guards from the fifth rank.
"No, no, no...we'll talk about it when we open the mansion..."
Shu Shu quickly refused.
When the ninth elder brother opens a house in the future, he will arrange the arrangements for relatives, and there is no need to ask others.
Although the fifth elder brother's Baylor Mansion has many civil and military vacancies, he does have his own close relatives, such as Haha Pearls, and the Niulu population who will be assigned to his name in the future. They are all his banners. According to the rules,
Most of the time, palace affairs officers are promoted from among their subordinates.
Brother Ninth also thought about the knighthood: "I still have to work hard with Khan Amama... If you are like the boss and are still in the palace in your twenties, it will be suffocating..."
Shu Shu's heart moved and he glanced at Brother Jiu.
Maybe Brother Jiu's hot summer is a good reason.
The imperial doctor has already said that he will be "afraid of the heat" in the future, so what's the excuse for building a summer retreat?
"I have a village in Haidian, five or six miles away from Changchun Garden. Otherwise, where can we build a summer resort? Even if we don't open a house, we can live there in the summer..."
Shu Shu said with some interest.
Brother Ninth raised his eyebrows: "Haidian Zhuangzi? The one at Baiwangshan?"
"Not that one, that one is more than ten years away from Changchun Garden..."
Shu Shu said: "The village in Baiwangshan was given by my aunt, and this one was given by my aunt..."
Brother Jiu's expression became more relaxed: "I'll go over with you later and have a look, and find someone to draw a good picture of the garden..."
Shu Shu was speechless. In fact, the most important thing was money.
If she really wanted to repair it, there was no telling how much money it would cost. Even if Shu Shu's dowry money was spent, it might not be perfect. Besides, it was still capital that she had reserved and she didn't want to use it.
It's not really about building a garden, but it's about asking Kangxi for a mansion and moving out of the palace in advance.
Brother Jiu didn't think that Shu Shu was "hunting cattle across the mountain". He just thought that she really wanted to build a garden and made plans in his mind.
No money!
The fifth brother owes money, and the tenth brother also took the expenses, so he can't borrow from the two of them anymore, right?!
"I don't want to be on par with Fifth Brother and the others, even if I'm a bastard!"
Brother Ninth complained: "Khan Ama is the same. He comes up with whatever he wants and doesn't follow the rules... The clan is knighted at the age of fifteen, and the master is sixteen... I don't want to be on par with the fifth brother and the others, even if I am a kid.
Okay, if we divide the subordinates into subordinates, we have money and food, and we have the filial piety from the bannermen, so life doesn’t have to be so tight..."
"Master!"
Shu Shu couldn't help but glance at Brother Jiu: "Walls have ears, have you forgotten?"
If these resentful words are spread out in a sentence or two, they will go out of shape. What good can be left behind?
Brother Jiu pursed his lips and tilted his head on Shu Shu's shoulder: "I know the importance of this. I don't dare to show anything in front of you. I just say a few words in front of you..."
The young couple looked at each other and lost interest in hanging out.
After returning to the second institute, Brother Jiu went to the third institute.
He was about to leave early tomorrow morning. He was worried about Brother Ten and would go over and have a look.
Shu Shu then met Nanny Qi and Xiao Chun.
This time, the second guard wanted to keep someone to watch over them, so they left Aunt Qi and Xiao Chun in charge.
"The main thing is to keep an eye on Wang Gege, not allowing her to leave the yard, and also keeping an eye on her not to ask her to send news..."
Aunt Qi didn't know these twists and turns, so Shu Shu told Xiao Chun: "She is a member of Aunt Liu's party. She is here to occupy a position. If she dares to stab her, tell me and send her to a safe place."
The Criminal Division..."
Aunt Qi and Xiao Chun's expressions changed.
A party member of Grandma Liu?
Planning to harm Fujin's body?
Both of them were furious.
Aunt Qi's face drooped, while Xiao Chun gritted her teeth: "You are such a filthy idiot, how dare you pretend to be innocent? Fujin only asked her to copy scriptures, he really gave her an advantage!"
Shu Shu hurriedly reminded: "There is no need to add trouble! Keeping such a person, holding the handle, and not daring to cause trouble, is better than the new people coming in from outside..."
The Imperial Household Beauties are selected once a year, and these two people occupy the position. Unless Shu Shu, the lucky Jin, asks for it herself, Concubine Yi will not ask anyone to come here within three or five years.
As for the Eight Banners draft held every three years, Brother Jiu's physical condition is like this. He is already recovering, and there is no urgency to branch out.
Xiao Chun let out a long breath: "Fu Jin, don't worry, I know the rules and won't make people laugh..."
Even if the Zhaojia family and the Wang family are actually just palace ladies, there is a difference between palace ladies and palace ladies. The palace ladies who are recorded in the name of the ninth elder brother are also at the level of the master.
Aunt Qi also came to her senses and nodded in agreement: "You must keep people, otherwise you will be shameless compared to other brothers..."
The emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, and the princes naturally followed their wives and concubines in groups.
Even though the eldest brother, who was previously obsessed with having a legitimate son, did not give birth to a legitimate son, he did not delay Nagge's concubine.
The next door Bafujin showed off his jealous attitude as soon as he entered the palace, but I heard that he still drank tea from the two princesses.
As long as you are a concubine, you have to face this.
"My father and I are not here, and the daily quotas in the imperial dining room have also stopped. Don't wrong yourselves. The dining room can still store more food as before, so there is no need to be stingy with money..."
Food and clothing in the palace are a big deal, so Young Master Shu Shu couldn't give Xiao Chun anything.
When she went out this time, she took Xiaosong, Xiaotang, Xiaoyu, and Walnut with her, while Xiaochun and three other palace ladies stayed behind.
On weekdays, these people benefit from her reputation and are relatively well-off.
Xiao Chun rolled his eyes: "The two Geges usually use Fujin's rules as substitutes. Fujin's rules have been stopped. Is that...?"
Shu Shu said nothing.
If you are blindly lenient, you will slap your nose in your face, and you must let them know that grace is just grace.
