Chapter 2023: Every Nine Years Will Be Bad
Shushu and the Ninth Prince could see that from top to bottom in the family, there was nothing that Niguzhu didn't want.
But it's just something I think about.
The look of Niguzhu who was “happy and reluctant to leave” just now is still vivid in my mind.
There are six courtyards adjacent to each other on the North Sixth Institute, and the family of three passed by the First Institute again.
Someone reported the news to the Guwalgiya clan.
Guaerjia sent the people away and said to the wet nurse, "It's true what you said. The Ninth Lady has brought the child back."
The nanny said, "When people outside talk about the Ninth Prince, they can point out several shortcomings, but when they mention the Ninth Lady, they all praise her. Seeing that the palaces of the various princes have moved in, and many little princesses and princes have followed, the Ninth Lady will not let her own children attract attention."
Guarjia was thinking about Tana and felt a little worried.
A six-year-old child can understand the truth.
She wanted to see how and to what extent Prince Hongsheng would teach.
She didn't want to waste her time.
The nurse said, "The master is of high status, so it is inevitable that people will whisper in the ears of the eldest prince and the eldest princess. The more this happens, the more upright the master should be. Although the eldest prince was raised in the inner court, his mother is a burden. If the eldest prince is a talented person, it would be fine. The mother is honored by the son, and Liu Gege will return home one day; but I heard that the eldest prince's studies are ordinary, so the master doesn't have to worry about it."
Guaerjia nodded and said, "I can hold my ground. After all, the Fifth Prince's Mansion belongs to the Fifth Master. If the Fifth Master decides that the eldest prince is the heir, then no matter how stupid the eldest prince is, he is still the heir."
As for future children, the amount will not be too low even if they are large.
At the very least, it's not up to par.
It is a middle-level title in the royal family, but it is already a super-class title.
Guaerjia understood clearly and became more calm. She said to the nanny, "Don't worry, nanny. I'm not greedy. As long as the Fifth Master can give me the share I deserve..."
When they arrived at the North Third House, the Thirteenth Prince and his wife also got the news and learned that the Ninth Prince and his wife had gone to the North Garden to bring Niguzhu back.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. You have so many children at once..."
The Thirteenth Lady said to the Thirteenth Prince.
The Thirteenth Prince said, "Go over there tomorrow when you have time and see if you can lend a hand."
The Thirteenth Lady said, "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. We have to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, the Crown Princess, and the Empress before we can go anywhere else."
The Thirteenth Prince thought for a moment and said, "It's ok to go to the North Garden and the West Garden, but you still need to report before going in and out of Changchun Garden. Tomorrow, I will ask the Ninth Brother and Sister-in-law how they greeted us..."
The Thirteenth Lady said, "Well, let's just follow the crowd..."
This is the benefit of having the teeth at the back.
No matter what you do, you have the examples set by your sisters-in-law, so you don’t have to worry about breaking the rules.
The Fourteenth Prince was troubled by his ranking, but the Thirteenth Prince was always happy about his ranking.
With the brothers leading the way, we can avoid many detours...

The fifth building in the north is the main house.
The Tenth Prince and his wife came over and took the three princes to the Sixth House.
The third princess was also taken to the backyard by Niguzhu and Huijie, and the house finally returned to peace.
The Ninth Prince sighed heavily and said, "Fortunately, there are only four of us, and the youngest is still young. Otherwise, if there were seven or eight of us, we would not be able to handle it."
Shushu said: "Just one Niguzhu can replace four or five. I still have 'likes and likes' in my ears..."
The Ninth Prince looked at Shushu and smiled: "I finally know how you coaxed people when you were a child..."
No wonder her father-in-law and mother-in-law treated her as the apple of their eye, and even Lady Bo and Prince Kang's wife loved her so much.
He must be like Niguzhu, who has been able to coax people since he was young.
Shushu refused to admit it.
"I don't remember being so secretive..."
The Ninth Prince said, "The eldest princess is talkative because of me, and sweet-mouthed because of you, and you are good at coaxing people."
Shushu didn't argue with him about this and also thought about paying his respects.
"We've moved here for a few days now. Isn't it time to pay respects to Her Majesty? I'll send someone to ask Her Majesty tomorrow when it's convenient..."
At this point, she remembered that Kangxi had also asked the Tenth Prince to pay respects to Concubine Yi, and said, "I will go with my sister-in-law when the time comes."
The Ninth Prince said, "Well, I will ask He Yuzhu to go over and ask tomorrow. It would be best if I and the Tenth Prince also go over. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for you and the Tenth Prince's wife to take care of four children."
Shu Shu said, "That would be the best, but I'll ask clearly so as not to offend anyone."
Concubine Yi usually lived in Huichun Villa in Changchun Garden, and sometimes other concubines would live there with her.
In that case, it would be very inconvenient for the adult prince to go there.
The Ninth Prince said, "I have asked before. Your Majesty is living alone this time, without any other concubines."
Shu Shu said: "That's good..."
Kangxi attached great importance to hierarchy.
Once, an internal minister was rude to a concubine and was reprimanded by Emperor Kangxi.
No matter how low your position is, you are still the master.
No matter how high the rank of a Grand Secretary is, he is still a slave.
Hierarchy is irreversible.
This applies to both the Grand Chamberlain and the Prince...

The second south building is the main house.
The Third Lady was also talking to the nanny, talking about the left and right courtyards.
"I've been sweeping the floor, and it's been two days..."
Sanfujin said.
The maid said, "The fifth one is empty, no one is cleaning it."
The Third Lady said, "That's where the Fourteenth Prince used to live. It would be good to move to the north."
The Third Lady still trembles with fear when she thinks of the incident that happened a few years ago.
The Fourteenth Prince is a troublemaker, and he has Concubine De's support, so it would be better if he doesn't live here.
Just thinking about the fact that the Fourteenth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince could live in both places, she felt resentful towards the Third Prince in her heart.
When you get older, you think about too many things and worry too much.
For example, the Fourteenth Prince wanted to live in the North Sixth Residence, so he went there. Who can say anything against this?
"With our master's courage, what else can we do?"
The Third Lady couldn't help but complain to the nanny.
The nanny also knew that the relationship between the couple was tense, so she only said good things, saying, "The prince is steady and takes care of himself, so the concubine doesn't have to worry about it."
The Third Lady looked at her fingers.
"The Impatiens won't bloom for another two months..."
Looking at her own plain nails, San Fu Jin was not satisfied and said, "I painted them with patterns. I will ask the silver shop to make new nail covers for summer wear, inlaid with gemstones and jade."
The maid knew that the Third Lady loved beauty, and seeing that she was still interested in dressing herself up, she felt relieved and said, "The Lady is so well-groomed, she is unique among the other wives of the princes..."
The Third Lady couldn't help but take the mirror and said, "What a scary unique dish? Ask the kitchen to stew donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. Donkey-hide gelatin in the morning and bird's nest in the evening. I must nourish myself well and live a long life..."
I don't know what the Imperial Observatory said to the Third Prince, but the Third Prince started to cultivate his character these days and returned to Haidian every day, either staying in the study or in the main courtyard.
Just sleeping.
The Third Lady was upset.
Could it be that he was "recuping his energy" here with her?
It's terrible when a woman is narrow-minded.
The blue-gray color of the Third Prince's forehead became more and more obvious.
Thinking of this, San Fu Jin couldn't help but sneer.
Coward...
*
The Ministry of Rites is on duty.
The Third Prince also felt uneasy when looking in the mirror.
According to the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, "every nine will bring bad luck."
The Third Prince should avoid breaking ground this year, stay away from dangerous places, and stay away from shady places.
You should also be careful not to cause trouble and conflict.
If you want to change your behavior, you should keep good things to yourself, do more good deeds, and have more kind hearts, so that you can accumulate virtue and gain blessings.
The Third Prince had no idea at all.
How do we accumulate virtue and do good deeds?
Keep it secret...
What if the money is wasted?
This was too unfamiliar to the Third Prince.
He thought about it and got up and went to the Ministry of Revenue.
The Fourth Prince is still busy with his papers.
The Third Prince stood at the door, glanced at his pocket watch, and said, "It's already early in the evening, are you still busy?"
When the Fourth Prince heard the noise, he put down the brush in his hand and stood up.
"Third brother..."
The Third Prince coughed lightly, looked at the Fourth Prince, and said, "I remember that in the thirty-fifth year, you were in charge of the Red Banner Camp and followed Khan Ama to the battle. It seemed that something almost happened. Is that true?"
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s face turned dark.
That was a misunderstanding he didn't want to mention.
He was riding a horse and his thigh was rubbed raw. It was inconvenient for him to get on and off the horse, so he missed the stirrup and broke his knee.
"How old were you that year?"
The Third Prince was unaware of the Fourth Prince's unhappiness and was still reminiscing.
The Fourth Prince exhaled and said, "Nineteen..."
"Nineteen, if I remember correctly..."
The corner of the Fourth Prince's mouth twitched, and he said, "It's just a small matter, why would Third Brother remember this?"
The Third Prince did not answer but asked, "Didn't the eldest sister-in-law die in the thirty-seventh year? The eldest brother was born in the eleventh year, lost his wife at the age of twenty-seven, and became a widower."
The Fourth Prince nodded.
Afterwards, the eldest prince mourned for his wife for three years and only remarried after forty years.
The Third Prince became more and more frightened, looking at the Fourth Prince with a drooping face, and said, "Fourth Prince, you have always believed in Buddhism, so you must have done a lot of good deeds. Tell me about it and let me take it into consideration."
The Fourth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The poor can only take care of themselves, while the rich can help the world. If you want to do good, you should start with the people around you. You can take care of the widows, widowers and orphans among the people under your command, and you can also ask about the sick and weak at home."
The Third Prince listened carefully and said, "Don't these banners have rules? How to provide relief to the orphans and widows? We should first ask the family, then ask the banner. Do we have to worry about this ourselves?"
The Fourth Prince said, "The rules are the rules. Apart from the nobles, most of the Eight Banners families are ordinary people with armor. They have a small population and no clan to rely on. If the master does not help, they will have to sell their properties and children..."
The selling mentioned here naturally does not mean direct buying and selling.
The law prohibits buying a good person as a slave, let alone buying and selling legitimate bannermen.
This refers to selling marriages.
Women were sold in marriage to bannermen or commoners, and men were married off to become son-in-law.
The Third Prince frowned and said, "How can this be justified? Who is the master and who is the servant? I still expect my disciples to show respect!"
In the end, he was the one who paid out money to help the people under his name? !
The Fourth Prince looked at the Third Prince and said nothing.
What's wrong with helping slaves?
Helping someone in need is a sign of gratitude.
Using both kindness and severity is the right way to employ people.
Besides, if you don’t treat the people around you well, but treat outsiders well, isn’t that a problem?
The Fourth Prince looked at the Third Prince and said, "Third Brother, doing good deeds will cost money. If you want to do good deeds, whether it is for your own people or for outsiders, you can't save money."
The Third Prince sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of spending money, I'm afraid of wasting it..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his forehead and said, "It's only been a few days and the sky is already covered with dark clouds. I'm so worried that I can't sleep peacefully at night."
The Fourth Prince took a closer look and his eyes widened.
The forehead is dark...
Is this facial feature so obvious?
After seeing the Fourth Prince's expression, the Third Prince drooped his lips and said, "Do you think it's scary or not..."
Fourth elder brother: "..."
Don't want to say anything.
Looking at the dark circles under the Third Prince's eyes, the Fourth Prince paused and said, "Could it be because he didn't get enough rest? How about you take a two-day leave and take good care of yourself..."
The Third Prince shook his head and said, "It's not about keeping fit. I've been to the Imperial Observatory and it's true that this year is not a good year for me. 'Every nine years brings bad luck'..."
After hearing this, the Fourth Prince’s expression froze.
He began to feel suspicious.
Did someone bribe the people in the Imperial Observatory?
Is this intended to sow discord among the princes?
The Third Prince continued, "I am twenty-seven this year, which is the year of the 'Dark Nine', which is said to be more dangerous than the 'Bright Nine'..."
The Fourth Prince breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that he had misunderstood. It was not the "Nine" in Ninth Prince...
