My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 268 It would be great if it was uniform (the second one asks for a monthly pass)
Before the sister-in-law and sister-in-law finished packing their things, the front manager hurried in to report.

Brother Nine is here.

Already in the backyard.

Today Qi Xi did not enter the palace for duty, but went to the palace.

Since entering Dongyue, Peng Chun suffered from arthralgia, so Qi Xi went to visit him early this morning.

Jue Luo Shi and Mrs. Uncle looked at each other, and they both got up to greet them.

This is the prince's son-in-law.

There are differences in respect and inferiority, and they are different in the end, so they cannot be regarded as ordinary juniors.

Although Brother Nine came here on a temporary basis, he didn't come empty-handed.

After leaving the Sibeile Mansion, he thought of Shushu's usual style, so he walked around West Fourth Avenue.

I bought a tidied lamb at a mutton shop, and then I went to buy a batch of Qizi Biscuits and ten catties of various Dongzi vegetables before I brought them in big and small bags.

This is what Shu Shu mentioned about the food in Dutong Mansion, as well as everyone's taste preferences.

Hearing that his father-in-law was not at home, Brother Nine was no outsider, so he hurried into the backyard to see his mother-in-law.

When Jue Luo and Madam Uncle left the house, Brother Jiu had already entered the main courtyard.

Seeing the two elders coming out, Brother Jiu hurriedly walked a few steps, bowed his hands and called for them.

"Mother-in-law, auntie..."

If it was before, Jue Luo and Mrs. Uncle would avoid being impolite.

After all, according to national etiquette, they still have to salute.

Right now, I'll accept it.

I just listened to the story of Nanny Qi and Walnut last night, and I know that brother Jiu is getting along with his daughter now, like glue.

The two felt like a mother-in-law.

Not to mention that the son-in-law looks more and more pleasing to the eye, and I think it is more satisfactory than before.

Lead the ninth elder brother into the room, and the host and guest sit down.

Only then did Jue Luo speak, and the address became much closer, and he said, "Why are you free today, elder brother?"

"I need to trouble my father-in-law..."

Ninth elder brother answered honestly, and said that tenth elder brother will set the ceremony at the beginning of tomorrow.

He Yuzhu followed behind, with big and small bags on hand, he was so tired that he was wheezing and panting.

Jue Luoshi looked over, hesitating to ask someone to pick up the things.

Who knows what this is all about...

If it’s okay for me, I’ll pick it up, but if I bring it to the palace, will it be embarrassing to pick it up?

Brother Jiu looked over and noticed He Yuzhu's distress, and said: "What are you doing in the house, why don't you send it to the kitchen?"

He Yuzhu was dumbfounded.

Although he came several times with his master, he didn't know where the kitchen of the Dutong Mansion was.

Seeing this, Jue Luo asked someone to pick him up.

Brother Jiu explained: "I heard from Fujin that shabu-shabu is often eaten at home, so I bought some mutton, cucumbers, and radishes to add to my family's dishes... There are also chess pieces pancakes, which my brother-in-laws love to eat Yes, I also bought a furnace..."

Jue Luoshi listened, and his face became more serious.

Mrs. Uncle also lost her sternness, and her eyes became more gentle.

These things are all imported food, not expensive things. Even if Dongzi dishes are more expensive, which is about the same price as meat, they add up to two or three taels of silver.

What is rare is this thought.

"Didn't my brother have an errand for the Ministry of Internal Affairs now? Next time, if you have any orders, just send someone to pass on the message, and it's not someone else, so you don't have to go through hard..."

Jue Luo said very sympathetically.

Brother Jiu shook his head, and said: "Where are you so busy? It's time to come, but I have been busy for the past two days. When Fujin came back, I was very worried about my mother-in-law..."

However, my mother-in-law was pregnant for more than a month in August, and now it seems to be five months. Why is the belly not obvious?
Brother Jiu couldn't help but look at Jue Luo Shi, he just watched her face carefully, thinking of going back so he could tell Shu Shu.

Jue Luo Shi looks good, but his face seems to be more plump.

Jue Luo saw it in his eyes, and felt deeply in his heart, knowing that this son-in-law has been trained.

However, she still said seriously: "When Fujin was at home, he was too spoiled, and she was the eldest sister. My younger brothers listened to her, and we also spoiled her. If there is any stubbornness on weekdays, brother will be more considerate." One or two... Come back and tell us when the time comes, we will teach her well..."

Brother Nine heard the meaning behind the words.

That is to say, don't let yourself say it.

I always feel a little awkward, as if they are a family and I am an outsider.

but……

Brother Jiu knew in his heart that now he and Shu Shu are the same family.

Haha!

The rest are either natal or in-laws.

Needless to say on the natal side, the water splashed by the married daughter is already two families.

The in-law's house will be divided into many families in the future.

Just like the brothers and sisters-in-law who moved out, now each of them has a small family.

Thinking of it this way, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Mother-in-law and aunt taught well, and Fujin was considerate in everything. From the queen mother, Han Ama, our empress, to the little elder brother, everyone said good things about her... Even the sister-in-laws in the same generation also followed Fujin. Get along well, look like sisters, thanks to your blessings, my son-in-law got such a good Fujin, it's too late to cherish and respect, how can I pick any faults? That can't be a fool..."

Jue Luo's expression was soothed visible to the naked eye.

Mrs. Uncle also nodded beside her: "Brother, it's good to know this. In the future, you and your husband will be the ones who will grow old together. Regardless of the parents above or the children below, it's not as long as being married as a married couple... You are good." , as elders, we have nothing to worry about..."

Brother Jiu thought about this, and it had the same effect as what Han Ama said.

But uncle and mother-in-law are more sentimental.

Thinking about it, the son of Han Ama got married, and the son is still a son, but there is an extra daughter-in-law.

On the Yue family's side, Ge Ge, who was raised so pampered, was sent to someone else's house.

Brother Nine thought about it, and felt uncomfortable for them.

He said with relief: "The location of our mansion has been reserved. It is on the side of Sibeile Mansion and Babeile Mansion in the North Official House. After another year, my son-in-law will ask the emperor to repair the house. If you hurry up, one or two I can move out in a year's time, and it will be convenient for Fujin to go home..."

Jue Luo and Mrs. Bo looked at each other with joy.

When people reach middle age, time flies by.

Even if Shu Shu gets married, no matter how reluctant they are, half a year will pass in the blink of an eye.

One or two years of work, it will be very fast.

Jue Luo said with a smile: "Just let Fujin stay in the palace for a few more days, get the teachings of the elders, and learn the principles of being a wife and daughter-in-law..."

Think about the arrogant prince elder brother before, now he can put down his figure and speak well.

It's just that he values ​​his wife.

Before marrying a daughter is a married daughter, and there is no idea of ​​​​a son-in-law.

After all, he is the royal elder brother and the master's son.

Now it's a bit like a uncle's.

Jue Luoshi wanted to stay for a meal, and Brother Jiu wanted to accompany Shu Shu to the inner hall, so he declined because of reasons.

Mentioning this, he said: "I shouldn't have troubled my father-in-law, but thinking that Niu Hulu's family is not very familiar with Elder Brother Shi, on the contrary, Elder Brother Ten is more familiar with Elder Brother-in-law these days. I just wanted to ask my father-in-law to help support the scene..."

Jue Luo would naturally not stop him.

Brother Jiu was in charge of the prince's engagement and marriage for the first time, and he was also a close younger brother. If he wanted to use his Yue family, he must help him save face.

Brother Jiu didn't delay any longer and hurried back to the palace.

Jue Luo and Mrs. Uncle sent it out, sighing: "This time I really feel at ease..."

Mrs. Uncle looked forward to it a bit: "It will be fine when I move out, and Shu Shu's body will grow back then, and I can prepare to conceive and have children..."

Jue Luo nodded, not worried about this.

To say that before she was worried that her daughter would be late with her, now she feels much more at ease.

Brother Jiu's "sickness" is at the front, and he won't be able to conceive for three to five years, and no one will talk about his own girl.

child this.

Exquisite is not expensive.

What's the use if the body is broken?

For example, Zhijun Wang Fujin...

The reason why the princes and elder brothers left the palace and opened the mansion ahead of time is pretty much known to those who are well-informed.

Da Fujin was just struggling.

I'm afraid it's a sad new year.

Someone has already been eyeing the position of Zhijun Wang Jifujin...

Even Jue Luoshi felt vigilant in his heart.

After giving birth to her daughter in the early years, she was also pregnant one after another, and she has not been idle for more than ten years.

If it weren't for the desperate conditioning and maintenance, he would not be much better than Dafujin.

Thinking about it now is simply scary.

It's nothing when you're not pregnant, but it's endless like an old sow after you're pregnant.

I hope the girl will not be like this in the future.

The two sisters-in-law packed up their things and let Nanny Qi and the others go back to the palace.

*
Here at the second school, brother Jiu sent Sun Jin back to spread the word.

I said that I have sent a post to the inner hall, and in the afternoon Shu Shu will follow Si Fujin to visit the mother and daughter of King Fujin of Abahai County.

After hearing this, Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

With Sifujin in front, it is so nice and not too conspicuous.

Shu Shu looked at the time, and it was noon, and it would be too late to report to Yikun Palace when Brother Jiu came back.

She sent Xiaochun to Yikun Palace to see if it was convenient for Concubine Yi.

Xiaochun took the longan.

After a while, the two came back.

"The empress is idle, waiting for Fujin to talk..."

Shu Shu has already changed out of clothes.

Fragrant river silk mink fur jacket, with filigree butterfly flowers on the head, and matching butterfly earrings.

In addition, instead of flag shoes, he was wearing leather boots.

It doesn't look grand, but it's not frivolous either, which fits the status of Prince Fujin.

Xiaochun and Longan, each holding a bundle, followed behind.

One of the bundles contained the meeting gift that Shushu prepared for Borzigit Gege, and the other contained a fox fur cloak for cold clothes outside.

Although it has not yet entered the ninth day, it has only been two days, and this year is extremely cold, and the water outside has turned into ice.

When Shu Shu arrived at Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was wearing half-new homely clothes, sitting on the kang in the East Second Room.

Sitting on the kang is a three-headed and tall little man, who is the seventeenth elder brother who has grown up by half a year.

In front of him are several ivory-carved cows, horses, dogs, chickens and other small objects.

They are half the size of a finger, and children can hold them in their hands, looking delicate and cute.

On the soft stool by the side of the Kang, sat a woman in a flag dress in her twenties.

This is Concubine Chen Shu, the biological mother of Seventeenth Brother.

She is also a showgirl of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Earlier, she was a court lady of Qianqing Palace. After she became pregnant, she moved to Yikun Palace and lived in the back side hall.

Now Concubine Chen Shu has meritorious service in giving birth to a son, and she is treated as a nobleman.

But because there is no seal, he is not eligible to go to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects.

When Shu Shu came to Yikun Palace before, he met her face to face.

Seeing Shu Shu coming, Concubine Chen Shu stood up and bowed.

Shu Shu sideways avoided, nodded in return.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had something to say, Concubine Chen Shu resigned and brought Seventeen elder brothers down.

Concubine Yi greeted Shu Shu to sit down by the kang, looked at Shu Shu wearing out clothes, and asked curiously: "Are you going out?"

Shu Shu didn't reply immediately, but looked into the room.

Seeing that there were only Xianglan and the two she brought with her, and no one else was around, she whispered about the pleading from elder brother ten in the morning, and also about elder brother nine sending someone to pass on the message.

"Daughter-in-law is watching, Elder Brother Ten is afraid that he was frightened by Fujin, so he thinks more..."

Concubine Yi also sighed when she heard this.

"Living in the palace, it's not a bad thing to think about it..."

Poor motherless child.

When I was a child, I was also like a bully.

Now everything is planned by myself.

If the imperial concubine is still there, why should she be so careful?

As for Si Fujin, she married into the palace as soon as she left her head, and grew up under everyone's noses. She is young, but she behaves prudently. Concubine Yi has nothing to worry about.

She said: "Since the old ten entrusted you, you will follow Si Fujin..."

Having said that, I saw the burden in the hands of the two girls.

"What are you preparing for the meeting ceremony?"

Shu Shu said: "Two pieces of golden brocade with magpies on the branches, a pair of filigree red double happiness flowers inlaid with beads, and a plate of beeswax beads..."

Concubine Yi nodded and said: "It's fine, it's very appropriate..."

She ordered Xianglan: "Bring those gold watches with mandarin ducks..."

Shu Shu was listening, and couldn't help thinking about it.

Gold watches are now imported from the West.

The Internal Manufacturing Office can make clocks, but they can't make pocket watches with more exquisite craftsmanship. At most, they can be repaired.

Therefore, the price of gold watches remains high, and it is also priceless in the capital.

The gold watch in Shu Shu's hand was bought by Amato in Guangzhou for her birthday last year.

Isn't it possible?

Why add this?
Is this a gift prepared by myself?

After Xianglan found out the watch box, Yi Fei opened it and handed it to Shu Shu.

"They are filial from inside and outside of April, just this pair, who is it for you? You go to see Si Fujin, just take this with you, don't mention me, just say you gave it to me..."

Inside were a pair of gold pocket watches.

On it is the pattern of twining lotus, one with a slightly larger diameter is a men's watch, and the other is a smaller one for a women's watch.

It looks like a couple.

Shu Shu took it with both hands and understood.

Yesterday, Sifujin persuaded Bafujin in Ningshou Palace, which can be regarded as helping Shu Shu and Wufujin.

Otherwise, relying on Ba Fujin's disposition, he would quarrel with them and drag everyone along to embarrass him.

Concubine Yi, this is a reward.

Shu Shu said: "Daughter-in-law doesn't dare to be greedy for merit, she is obviously kind and compassionate, and she is sympathetic to fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law who have been working hard for tenth elder brother these two days..."

Concubine Yi twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing, she acquiesced to the rhetoric.

Shu Shu still has to go back and wait for Brother Nine, and leave after reporting.

Only then did Concubine Yi feel regretful, and she murmured to Xianglan: "This is the real smart person, it would be great if he could be evenly matched with Wu Fujin..."

Xianglan said with a smile: "It can be said that there is a natural fate between people... The slave looks at Jiufu Jin's behavior and feels close, as if he saw the empress when she was young... It's not about the looks, it's about this." She has a magnificent bearing, not like the empress's daughter-in-law, but more like the empress' own daughter..."

In a word, Concubine Yi laughed.

"How old are you? When you say this, you are old-fashioned. When I was young...I don't know, I thought you were my nanny..."

Pandan pinched her fingers and counted.

"The year when the slave was in charge, it happened that there was a shortage of people in the palace. The age was relaxed to eleven years old. The slave came in according to the age, and was assigned to the name of the empress. It has been thirteen years..."

Yi Fei listened, the smile on her face faded.

According to the rules, palace women leave the palace at the age of twenty-five.

If you get grace, you can also release them for marriage in advance.

A few years ago, I wanted to let Xianglan go out and choose a suitable family for her.

Xianglan refused to leave, and she had no interest in getting married.

But if you go out at the full age, you can only be a successor if you remarry.

Concubine Yi thought for a while, and said: "If you don't want to marry, you can find an honest man to marry... Although you have brothers, it doesn't matter if you release the household registration form..."

Xianglan smiled and said: "This servant also thinks the same way. When the time comes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will find a family with many brothers and recruit an honest man. Then this servant will fill in the vacancy to serve the empress..."

Although Concubine Yi is reluctant to be the master and servant for more than ten years, she also knows the inconvenience of young women entering the palace to perform duties.

If an elderly woman is fine, the husband and wife are not afraid of anything, but the young couple is not like this.

I can't get through that day.

This palace gate, with more access control, is inconvenient after all.

The rotation in the palace is also hard.

"If you go out, don't come in. It's more comfortable outside. When Lao Jiu and the others go out, you can go and help..."

Xiang Lan thought about Jiu Fujin's temperament, which is not difficult to get along with, she nodded and said: "I listen to your mother, if elder brother and Fujin need slaves, the slaves will go over and make up the number..."
