My father-in-law is Kangxi

"This is my sister's property. It's not good for you to do this..."

The fourth elder brother doesn't want to accept this. It's not a bad thing if the younger brother is too generous, but being generous with his siblings' property is a bit unworthy of a beating.

Brother Jiu said happily: "What belongs to Fujin is mine. Not to mention the two tables of banquets, many of the birthday gifts and festival gifts that I pay tribute to the palace every year are custom-made in Fujin's silver building..."

There are several sets of accounts in the mansion, all of which are managed by Shu Shu.

Brother Ninth also looked at it a few times, but it was not that clear.

After all, Shu Shu said before that what belongs to the couple will belong to several children in the future.

However, Brother Jiu also knows that he is not stupid and generous. If he has other small ideas, what seems like one set of accounts can be immediately divided into two or three sets.

After the ninth elder brother finished showing off, he did not give the fourth elder brother a chance to continue preaching. He took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost time, and then said: "I've gone home, and I, Fujin, are still waiting for me to eat..."

Seeing the ninth elder brother coming and leaving in a hurry, the fourth elder brother shook his head and looked at the silver medals carefully.

He also looked at the symbols on the back as if they were sorted.

It's a good thing, otherwise if this brand goes out and is copied by others, it will be a loss.

A table at Baiweiju always costs several taels of silver...

When Brother Ninth returned home, Shu Shu was returning from Ning'an Hall.

Seeing that she seemed worried, Brother Jiu asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on at Prince Shuncheng's palace?"

Yesterday, Princess Shuncheng sent someone to give Shu Shu a birthday gift and mentioned that she wanted to come and pay her respects to Mrs. Bo.

Mrs. Bo asked her to come here today.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "It was the old prince who told them to take charge of the marriage of the younger brothers and sisters. It's okay for the brothers, they can just find someone from a middle-class family, but the princesses are like this, they are neither low nor high. That’s it…”

The prince of the county, Fujin, entered the palace in May. With his years and experience, he is naturally very trembling.

These princesses may have a noble status, they are the sisters of the county king, but because of their father, they are all non-titled clan daughters.

The old prince is also a selfish miser. He can't wait to sell the girl, let alone prepare a dowry for the girl.

The eldest daughter Guizhen Gege's generous dowry is an exception.

Because although Guizhen Gege is a concubine, she is the eldest daughter of the royal family and the eldest sister of all the young princes. Her maternal family also has assistants, many of which are dowry from her biological mother, and the rest are dowry from her maternal family and cousins.

Most of the other princesses from the prince's family were born from the same family, and they did not have decent maternal relatives. They were all born and raised in Haidian Courtyard, which is pitiful.

After hearing this, Brother Jiu frowned and said: "This is targeting Xiaosi and Xiaowu, no way..."

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "No, I'm just asking about a few cousins ​​from the branch of the government."

I was worried about marrying outside, the dowry was very thin, and I was afraid of being looked down upon, so Prince Fujin wanted to find her among my old relatives.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "You are really confused. Even if you know your shortcomings, you still want to go to a wealthy family and choose a well-off person from a banner family. Who dares to bully Wangfu Gege?"

Even wealthy people won't bully them, but if there is something they don't like, life will be even more difficult.

Shu Shu said: "I'm right, but for the prince and Fujin, the choice is between being glamorous on the outside and being honest on the inside. Their identities can only be glamorous on the outside."

Otherwise, if the old prince is dissatisfied, the clan members will also think that they treat the younger siblings as being mean.

Brother Jiu thought for a while and felt something was wrong, so he said: "There is a Taifu Jin in Haidian. How can I ask the county head? Isn't this a good idea? Are you thinking about the county head's private house?"

It is true that Mrs. Bo is an old aunt of the palace, but she is different from an ordinary aunt.

He is not the kind of person who likes to seek trouble, and he never interferes in the affairs of the palace.

Shu Shu sneered and said: "It's just a little scheme. The property of the county and prince's palace is in the name of the palace, but all the managers go to Haidian to pay their accounts. I heard that the palace lives a very frugal life. Someone has given the couple some advice. , so what? Ah Mou originally felt sorry for his nieces, and had already set aside some money to add makeup to the little princesses, but when they come to plot their plans, Ah Mou will not tolerate it. "

Brother Jiu frowned and said: "What is Leerjin doing guarding that money? Although it is not as good as the other princes of Heshuo, the Shuncheng palace is also the palace of the meritorious princes. Several generations of princes from that branch have made great achievements in war and have great wealth. It’s so rich…”

Shu Shu shook his head and said, "Who knows, it's not like they are short of money."

Brother Ninth doesn’t like to suffer losses either.

If Madam Uncle was willing to give it, he would have no problem with it. But when they came to make plans, he didn't want to give face, so he said: "Don't be too polite to them in the future, so as not to get in trouble."

The Prince of Shuncheng County is a junior, and he is the nephew of the Jiu Age clan.

Regardless of their status or seniority, Brother Jiu and his wife completely suppressed him.

The respect given to me before was all for Mrs. Bo's sake.

Shu Shu said: "It depends on what Ah Mou means. After all, he is Ah Mou's nephew."

Brother Ninth said: "Isn't there a third brother? He was just promoted to the chief of political affairs and forward commander last month..."

Shu Shu said: "Yes, if you really want to say it, Amu is closer to that side."

Shu Shu feels that it is good to have a sense of boundaries even between elders and juniors.

Therefore, Mrs. Uncle's interactions with her natal family were very close, and she did not interfere. She only followed Mrs. Uncle's preferences.

Shu Shu would be closer to whichever family Madam Uncle was closer to, and she would be very flattering to Madam Uncle, and the others would not interfere...

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day of October, the Queen Mother’s birthday.

Although there is no wedding banquet, everyone still has to celebrate the birthday.

It’s almost the same as during the Chinese New Year. Not only the imperial decree, but also the imperial decree and the civil decree will go to the palace to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday.

Those of second rank and above must enter the palace and celebrate their birthdays outside Ningshou Palace.The order of imperial edicts came later. First, the emperor led the prince, his grandson, his relatives, and the civil and military ministers to Ningshou Palace to celebrate his birthday.

Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were present, but there was no chaos at all. Everyone just followed the schedule and listened to the orders.

Looking at it, you can see that there are many azure-colored auspicious clothes with different embroidery depending on their status.

Although Shu Shu is the prince Fujin, he can't see enough at this time, so he can only stand and wait with the crowd.

Fortunately, when we arranged the shifts, there was Qi Fujin in front of us, and Twelve Fujin on the right. The sisters-in-law were talking in low voices, and the time passed faster.

Just ...

While Twelve Fujin was being dragged to talk by an old Fujin next to him, Qi Fujin looked over not far away and winked at Shu Shu.

Shu Shu followed her gaze and saw that it was Fu Cha and Fujin.

Fucha Fujin was married according to the prince Fujin's instructions, but such an occasion had never happened before.

Today is an exception, he is also wearing the prince's Fujin uniform.

Shu Shu glanced at it and turned his head.

If you really want to talk about it, the Fucha family is also qualified to come forward.

It's not that the eighth prince didn't ask for the title, the Fucha family is not Xifujin.

If that were the case, Prince Fujin would not have asked for a royal title from Dafujin to Shushu. But who can deny that they are the prince's wives?

It can only be said that the current rules of the court and the royal family are still a bit uneven and do not place much emphasis on ceremony.

Just like the smart concubine and the good concubine, there is a gap of nearly ten years between the time of being canonized as a concubine and the time of being concubine.

If you really want to talk about it, Fucha's identity is not Mrs. Baylor, but the prince Fujin.

Those who are eligible to apply to the clan government for the title of Fujin are clan members above the county king level.

Clan clans below Baylor are not qualified to grant titles to side chambers.

The prince is an exception.

The prince can have up to four side blessings.

The Fucha family didn't show up before, but now they show up. I wonder if it was the eighth prince's arrangement.

After coming out of Ningshou Palace to celebrate his birthday, Qi Fujin stepped on Shu Shu's arm and whispered: "It really suffocates me to death. It's hard to speak in front of my twelve younger siblings."

Shu Shu said: "Sister-in-law Seven can just watch the excitement. Each family lives its own life."

In the future, as the emperor's grandchildren grow older, and mothers are more valuable than children, each family will have more blessings.

If you laugh at others now, you will become a joke later.

Qi Fujin also knew that Shu Shu meant good things and said, "You think I'm idle? There was some news a while ago that there was some movement in the Fucha family. I was shocked when I saw him today."

Shu Shu knew that she was always well-informed, so she shook her head and said, "Probably not. I went to Fu Cha's house to add makeup a few days ago, and I bumped into her. She didn't look like she was pregnant."

Qi Fujin nodded and said: "It's weird, then how did this gossip come about? Is it because of Zhang Guanli?"

Shu Shu said: "Most likely, maybe some princess or concubine is happy. Outsiders don't know, so they tell the Fucha family..."

After leaving Di'anmen and seeing people from the Dutong Mansion waiting beside Shu Shu's carriage, Qi Fujin said goodbye to her and went to find his own carriage.

Shu Shu followed the people from Dutong Mansion to Jueluo's carriage.

"It's too inconsiderate, I shouldn't have agreed..."

Jueluoshi frowned and said, "When people outside see this, they will have to chew their tongues..."

This is talking about the "March [-]th" in Prince Jian's Mansion a few days ago.

Shu Shu had previously agreed to Prince Jian Fujin's request to host the "March [-]th" ceremony together with the two princesses.

Shu Shu hugged Jue Luoshi's arm and said: "If I were not the prince Fujin, you could still say that I was fawning and clinging to you. I am the prince Fujin, and my status is just higher than theirs. What else can you say about me?"

It didn't matter if others were envious, jealous or hateful, as long as Kangxi saw her good character of being soft-hearted and caring.

Jueluo Shi pointed at her forehead and said: "You don't like it. The eyes of the eldest daughter in the branch will turn red..."

Since he is helping the palace with the rituals, he deserves a reward.

Shu Shu whispered: "Well, Your Majesty asked the Zongren Mansion to make statistics on the yellow belts and red belts that have been leathered since the Taizu Dynasty."

Jueluo Shi was stunned and said, "What's the reason?"

Shu Shu said: "If we treat them as ordinary banner people except for their clan status, and don't talk about the Aisin Gioro bloodline, will they be looked down upon by others, but just talk about the marriage of their children in the future, how can we make a difference? What if it is mixed with the nationality in the future?"

Counting from the time I entered the customs, it has been over sixty years, several generations.

Counting further forward, it’s a little over 100 years.

Life is difficult for idle clan members, let alone those who want to get rid of the clan...

Needless to say, the crime is extremely heinous, and the descendants deserve to be in trouble.

For someone like Ancestor Fusong, who was defeated by power, it was also a grace to give him a glimmer of hope.

Shu Shu felt that because of the cowpox incident, Kangxi in Fusong would still reward him for his merits. Maybe he would reward people with nobility, but he didn't know what level...
