Qing Dynasty through Sanfu Jin

The third elder brother chuckled, "Where did you think it was? It's not just a matter of saying that we go out of the palace. It depends on the day and treats to warm up the house. I just said that it's time to put it on the agenda, and I didn't say that I would go right away. Otherwise, many people are staring at the imperial concubine's throne, and Er Niang is the fourth concubine and has the power in the palace, so I don't trust her."

And the day of the fourth and fourth brother's big wedding is coming soon.

One by one adds up to something.

The fourth elder brother's wedding is scheduled for June, except for the day of her wedding, this is Wan Ning's first time participating in the prince's wedding.She was curious and at a loss.

Wan Ning followed closely behind Shi Yahui, watching her and Da Fujin's orderly ordering servants decorate the fourth elder brother's residence.Wan Ning said in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what can I do to help?" Others are busy, so she is too embarrassed to be idle.

Shi Yahui saw her embarrassment, and comforted her: "Just follow us and watch. Don't be shy, that's how I watched my sister-in-law work when you got married."

What she said seemed to be fine, Wan Ning always felt that she was joking about herself.

Da Fujin turned to look at her, "Second brother and sister are right. When she got married, I didn't understand anything. I remember Prince Yu and Prince Gong's two Fujin helped."

Maybe Da Fujin really figured it out, after a while, her complexion was much better than when Wan Ning was just married, and she became ruddy visible to the naked eye.His complexion improved, he did not look so gloomy, and he was able to speak a few words.

Wan Ning leaned in front of Da Fujin, blinking her eyes curiously, "Did the second sister-in-law's face turn red like a monkey's butt on the day of her wedding?"

Once the two of them chatted, Shi Yahui talked about her wedding day, saying that it was rare to see her blushing like a monkey's butt who didn't care about anything.

Da Fujin looked at Shi Yahui and then at Wan Ning, pretending to think about it seriously, and nodded under Shi Yahui's shameful eyes, "I remember that, the second brother and sister couldn't lift their embarrassing faces at that time." , Prince Yu Fujin even teased her."

As she spoke, she also briefly described the scene of the next day.

Shi Yahui stomped her feet angrily, "Sister-in-law, why did you learn badly from this girl Wan Ning?" Looking around, she found that the servants were all busy and no one was looking this way, so she stretched out her arms to catch Wan Ning, "I'll let you laugh at me to see if I don't deal with you."

Wan Ning pulled Da Fujin's clothes to hide, seeing that Shi Yahui couldn't catch her, she even stuck out her tongue at her, making Shi Yahui very angry.

Da Fujin was caught in the middle of the two, blocking this one or that one, and in the end no one would help at all.It's a pity that she is not as strong as Wan Ning, even if she didn't want to help, she was dragged around by the two of them.

Da Fujin is different from Wan Ning and the others. Although she is also a military commander, she herself is not good at riding and shooting, and her health is not good.After a while, I was out of breath and covered in sweat.

"Stop, stop, you two. If you don't stop, I will be torn apart by you." Da Fujin panted heavily, and reached out to stop the two of them.

Shi Yahui was also a little short of breath, she snorted, "Forget it, I won't bother with you today to save my sister-in-law's face."

Ever since entering the palace, she has been required to be dignified, afraid that she would make a wrong step, Shi Yahui's inner pressure can be imagined.Strange to say, whenever she felt that she was almost out of breath, Wan Ning would come to tease her.Just like today, the two laughed and laughed for a while, and she actually felt relaxed.It seemed that all the shackles that were pressing on him were gone, and the whole person was not happy.

Wan Ning wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief, "It's too hot today. Second sister-in-law, did you wear heavy auspicious clothes like me when you got married?"

It was September when she got married, and the season was cooler. Even so, wearing the heavy prince's auspicious clothes all day was hot and sweaty.Now it's June, the hottest time of day.Not to mention wearing auspicious clothes, they were sweating after a while wearing flimsy flag clothes.She couldn't believe how she would live if she wore the same heavy auspicious clothes as her for the wedding.

Shi Yahui spread her hands, "What do you think? However, there will be an ice basin in the sedan chair. Although it is hot, it can bear it." She leaned close to the ears of the two and whispered, "Now I am more worried about shooting the sedan chair door and entering the sedan chair. time to step over the brazier."

Auspicious clothes are only worn on important occasions, so the auspicious clothes of all Prince Fujin are the same regardless of spring and summer.Although the summer is too hot to breathe, it can be solved by putting two more ice basins in the sedan chair.

Shejiamen can't be sloppy and it's impossible to be replaced.

The fourth elder brother is generally recognized as not good at riding and shooting, and she is very worried that if the time comes, she will be laughed at if she misses the shot.

There is also cross brazier.When the sister-in-law got married, she didn't know that she and Wan Ning were both hugged and stepped over when they got married.The fourth elder brother looked thinner than the third elder brother, she was really worried that he would not be able to hold him.

She wanted Su Mao to step over the brazier by herself, and she was worried that she would accidentally touch the brazier while covering her head.This is the same as shooting at the sedan door, which is unlucky.

Da Fujin said: "Don't worry, they are all brought up by the royal rules. It makes no sense for other elder brothers to think that fourth elder brother can't do it. Even if fourth elder brother almost missed riding and shooting, he should know it in his heart. Maybe he has already known it in private. practiced."

"Crossing the brazier is also simple. Send someone to tell the fourth sibling in advance, and ask her to pull back the hijab quietly. It only needs to cover half of the face in front so that people can't see the appearance."

This is her experience.

Eldest brother is a rough guy. He never thought of holding Fujin across the brazier when he got married, so this big Fujin came by herself, she has experience.

Wan Ning patted Shi Yahui's shoulder, comforting, "Don't worry, I expected this, so I asked my third brother to help my fourth brother to give 'special training' a month ago."

Wan Ning never forgot that the fourth elder brother on tour was scared by a wild boar and climbed a tree.The fourth elder brother has always been a "weak chicken" image in her heart.

She doesn't care what other people think of the fourth elder brother. Su Mao's big wedding can't go wrong, so she asks the third elder brother for help.Anyway, it is convenient for everyone to live in the same compound.

Da Fujin also heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good. Although I don't know the fourth sibling well, we are all Royal Fujin. We are all damaged, and no one can escape being told."

Just as I was talking, I saw a woman from the backyard of the fourth elder brother come out, and Gao Shu Fujin who was leading the way said to Da Fujin, "Greetings to Da Fujin, Er Fujin, and San Fujin. Fujin has been busy all morning, why don't you go to the backyard to have a drink?" Sip tea to relieve fatigue."

Unlike the third elder brother in the past, the fourth elder brother has a concubine room, Gao felt that this matter should be left to her to take care of, so don't bother these princes Fujin anymore.Everyone knew that Sifujin had a good relationship with Erfujin and Sanfujin. When they came, Mrs. Gao didn't dare to drive them away.She had no choice but to leave this matter to the other party to take care of, while she smiled with her.

Seeing that it would be noon and her busy life would come to an end, she dared to speak up.

As the woman with the highest status in the fourth elder brother's backyard, Gao Shi's invitation is not out of the ordinary, but she is facing the three sons who are the first wives.Who would like a concubine in the main room?

Da Fujin restrained his smile, and nodded to Gao Shi: "Gao Shu Fujin is being polite, and it's been a while since he came out. Ben Fujin is very worried about Si Gege, so I won't bother Gao Shu Fujin."

Although Eldest Brother respects her, there are several concubines in the family, and besides her, Qian Shi, who is the most favored, has such a temperament.When she saw Gao Shu Fujin, she thought of Qian Shi, so it's no wonder she was happy.After Da Fujin finished speaking, he went out, Shi Yahui nodded to Gao Shi and turned away.

Needless to say, Wan Ning, she caught up with Da Fujin in front of her, and said: "Sister-in-law, don't rush away, my village sent watermelons over this morning, you take two for Concubine Hui and the little nieces."

She has a good seat in Zhuangzi, and the seeds that have been 'improved' by her are always better than others.Just say that this watermelon weighs more than ten catties each, and has a sandy flesh. It can be sweet to the heart after a bite.

Knowing Wan Ning's temperament, Da Fujin was not polite to her, but said with a smile: "That's a good relationship, An Yu and the others can be regarded as taking advantage of her third aunt, and I will make them honor the aunts in the future."

Wan Ning waved her hand, "It's just a few watermelons. If the nieces like it, just let them come to me. My sister-in-law doesn't know that I was coveted by the two demon kings of my natal family, and I like a gentle and soft girl like An Yu." .”

Zhuangzi's harvest was good, this time he gave away more than 20 large watermelons, Wan Ning gave half of it to Concubine Rong directly, and she could enjoy it with others or enjoy it by herself, and the rest was only given to Compassionate Palace two.Before Brother Huang had time to send it off, Da Fujin and the others entered the palace.

Watermelon is different from other fruits, she only plans to give two to Dafujin, a few to Yuqing Palace, two to the remaining four elder brothers and ten elder brothers, and not to the rest of the elder brothers.

If you don't give it away, it doesn't mean you don't give it to other people. This is just in time for the fourth elder brother's big wedding. No matter how everyone is, they will come to see the situation.She was going to ask someone to take two and cut them.

Wan Ning turned to look at Shi Yahui, "Eldest sister-in-law is going to Yanxi Palace, second sister-in-law, you will be alone when you go back, why don't you go to my place to eat something casually. It's still early, what do you want to eat? room to do it."

The head of the imperial dining room has changed, and the new one is not the original deputy head, but carefully selected by the emperor.

Speaking of the Imperial Dining Room, Shi Yahui suddenly remembered something, she patted her head, "Don't tell me, I almost forgot, didn't Khan Ama resign as the former head of the Imperial Dining Room? I heard from the prince that last month Khan Ama let People went to seal up his home, guess how much money they found?"

The head of the imperial dining room has been working for more than 30 years, starting from the time when the emperor was not enthroned.

From Shi Yahui's expression, one could tell that the money was not a small sum, so Da Fujin thought about it and tentatively said, "10 taels?"

The elder brother has been respected by his subordinates in the past few years since he left the palace. Da Fujin calculated that he had forty to fifty thousand taels of silver.After all, this is the royal elder brother, the head of the imperial dining room should not be as popular as him, right?

She thinks 30 years, 10 taels is the sky.

Unexpectedly, Shi Yahui shook her head, "Guess again."

Wan Ning said: "Then I guess a big one, 50 taels."

Da Fujin laughed, "Third brother and sister, you think the money is blown by a strong wind, and you really dare to guess 50 taels." Seeing Wan Ning's usual flowers, she knew that the other party didn't know much about silver, but she didn't expect him to Dare to guess so big.

Immediately afterwards, she spread the salaries of officials in the Qing Dynasty to Wan Ning.Nowadays, the salaries of military generals in the Qing Dynasty are higher than those of civil servants, and the annual salary plus various filial silver does not exceed 2 taels. They had to save 50 taels for five or sixty years without food or drink.

She thought Wan Ning had guessed too high, and when she turned around, she saw Shi Yahui shaking her head, "Sister-in-law is wrong, even if the head of the imperial dining room has not embezzled 50 taels, it is not much different. This is just collected from his family, if you add him I'm afraid it's more than 100 million taels if you give it away from favors."

Da Fujin gasped, "One million taels? How dare he?"

One million taels is not a small sum, even the crown prince might not have so much money.

Wan Ning snorted coldly, "Why didn't he dare? Didn't he just dare? Even the head of the imperial dining room dared to covet so much. I don't think the entire imperial dining room is very clean. I really should check them all."

She understands the reason why the water is so clear that there are no fish. The third elder brother also said that the emperor sometimes turns a blind eye to corruption, but this does not mean that they will be allowed to be greedy so much.

She approached Shi Yahui and asked: "Did the prince say who is behind him?"

Shi Yahui shook her head, the prince was obviously in a hurry when he talked about it, it's not that the third elder brother told Wan Ning everything, it's not easy to say these things.As for whether there is anyone behind the head of the imperial dining room, it is beyond her ability to know if it is related to the government at first glance.

Hearing that it was related to the government, Da Fujin took the lead in changing the subject, "What do you do with this frustrating thing on the day of great joy, why not talk about the watermelon grown by the third younger sibling. I admire the third younger sibling, whether it is watermelon or the strawberries I gave you earlier. Well, all of them are delicious. It’s not that I haven’t grown this fruit before, but it’s not as good as the third sibling. I wonder if the third sibling has any secret recipe?”

Wan Ning spread her hands, "I don't have any secret recipes, all the things are grown by the people in Zhuangzi. Well, let's insist that the quality of the soil is good and the people in Zhuangzi are hardworking."

The matter of using demon power to condense the seeds must not be said, she can only push these on Zhuangzi.Besides, the people in her Zhuangzi have been carefully selected, and they are indeed hardworking players.

However, "If my sister-in-law thinks my farm is good, I can transfer some strawberries to my sister-in-law. Watermelon is easier, and I can plant it next year after eating it."

Strawberries have a lot of roots, and a few can grow into a large piece after transplanting.The long-term workers in her farm are afraid of climbing too many seedlings, so they have to deal with a batch in three or two days.If the sister-in-law wants it, it couldn't be simpler.

Knowing that Wan Ning is not fake and generous, Da Fujin is not polite to her. "That's a good thing. I don't want to take things from my third sibling for nothing. I'll be the host later, and I'll treat you to a drink."

Da Fujin didn't stay with the third elder brother for too long, and she said that it was true that she was worried about her daughter.After taking the watermelon, she went directly to Zhongcui Palace.

Sending Da Fujin away, Wan Ning asked someone to fish out two more from the well, she and Shi Yahui cut one, and asked someone to send the remaining one to the next door.Today, the brothers of the emperor are all next door.

The watermelon was delivered by Tangyuan himself. Seeing the watermelon, the prince was overjoyed, "It's really the third brother and sister. Unlike the third brother, who has good things and doesn't know how to give some to Gu. Who, go back and tell you Fujin, keep it for Gu. Two, I don’t need her to give them away, I will pick them up when I leave.”

The third elder brother was speechless: "You still need me to give it to you? Your nose is smarter than the snow balls I raise in Fujin, but if I have something, can I hide it from you?"

Since the last time he delivered strawberries to Yuqing Palace, the crown prince has been eyeing his Fujin's Zhuangzi, and people ask him every now and then if he has any good things.The third elder brother didn't understand, since she is not a woman, how can she drop if she doesn't eat fruit.

He wondered, Khan Ama loves the prince the most, the prince has never seen anything good, it's just some fruit to eat, what about it?

The other elder brothers looked at the third elder brother in surprise. Everyone in Xuetuan knew that the third son was indirectly scolding the prince for the dog raised by San Fujin.They all waited to see the prince's expression, thinking that the prince should be angry now, right?

Everyone wanted to see the prince get angry with the third child, but what they saw was the prince who didn't seem to understand the meaning of the third child.

The prince just pulled up his sleeves, picked up the watermelon and ate it.After eating a piece of melon, he said: "Old man, what you said is wrong, why don't you just eat something from you, Gu Yuqing Palace has good things, when will you be missing, look at how stingy you are. You Fujin is better than you Generous."

Brother Jiu is not soft-spoken when he eats people, he said: "Third brother, there are more than a dozen of us, how can one melon be enough? We are all brothers, and the third brother can't treat one more than another."

The third elder brother hasn't spoken yet, the prince is unwilling. "Old Ninth, you can't stop your mouth when you eat. I don't usually see you and the third brother being so friendly, what's the matter? When I got an advantage, I knew it was your third brother?"

The prince is arrogant and arrogant, and he also protects the calf. He watched the third child grow up. He can make up whatever he wants and even swear a few words. No one else can lift a finger.Especially Lao Jiu, he heard that he has been making trouble for Lao San recently.

Brother Nine was choking, neither eating nor vomiting.

Elder Brother Ten has no such scruples, the brothers are all here today, although the melons given by the third sister-in-law are big, there is not much money for each person.All his attention was on eating, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the eyebrow-eye lawsuit.

After he finished eating two pieces of melon, he found Brother Jiu holding the melon in a daze. He asked suspiciously, "Brother Jiu, don't you like to eat it? If you don't like to give it to me, brother will not dislike you for biting it."

They grew up together and often ate the same piece of pastry.He didn't feel ashamed at all to eat the rest of Brother Nine.

Ninth elder brother angrily threw the melon in his hand on ten elder brother's face, "Eat and eat, you will know how to eat it, and you won't know if it will be sold sooner or later." He almost vented his anger with the third child, did he forget that he was with the starling?They are brothers.

The third elder brother restrained his smile, "Old Ninth, what are you dissatisfied with coming to me, don't vent your anger on the tenth brother. Everyone is here today, let's make it clear, who sold the tenth brother?"

Lao Jiu didn't feel guilty for saying this, if he said that Lao Shi was not a good person, and always thought of selling him for profit, who among these brothers could compare with Lao Ba?He didn't understand, how could a person as smart as Lao Jiu lose his mind when he encountered Lao Ba?
