Chapter 2050 Little Sister-in-law
Shushu looked at the horsewhip and asked, "Why do you need this?"
Fengsheng and the others are too young, and it will be two years before I can get on the horse.
Nowadays, even if you ride a horse, it is led by an adult and there is no need for a whip.
The Tenth Lady said happily, "My Ehe wrote to me saying that my brother will go to Beijing in September to take turns with a few foals. The foals he brought before will be grown up in two years."
Horses under three years old are called foals, but for children to learn how to ride horses, the smaller the better.
Shushu listened and realized that Fengsheng and his three siblings had a share in this, and thought about what kind of return gift she should prepare.
The Tenth Lady said, "Among them are Fengsheng and his friends. They were specially prepared by my father-in-law. He said it was to thank Ninth Lady for her tea and cashmere..."
This is referring to last year’s New Year gift.
Because of the Tenth Prince, there are also personal connections between the Ninth Prince's Mansion and Prince Abahai's Mansion.
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "The Prince's wife is too polite."
It's just a matter of reciprocity.
In recent years, the wife of the Prince has sent people to the capital every year to deliver gifts, and there is always a portion for the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
She thought of the clothing materials that the Ninth Prince had brought back from Jiangnan this time, and planned to pick out a few pieces with luxurious patterns and colors, as well as some jade carvings, to give to the Prince's wife as a festival gift.
Because the children were taking a nap in the inner room, the two sisters-in-law spoke in low voices.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, do you want to go see the children?"
The Tenth Lady whispered.
Shushu nodded, walked to the door of the inner room, lifted the curtain and looked inside.
The three brothers were lying next to each other on the kang, covered with small blankets, sleeping soundly.
Shu Shu lowered the curtain, stepped out, and whispered to the Tenth Lady, "I guess I'll have to sleep for a while."
Now that the days are longer, nap time has been extended as well.
If it were winter, we wouldn’t dare let them sleep so long as they would be too sleepy to walk at night.
The Tenth Lady glanced at the clock and said, "It should be another quarter of an hour."
Shu Shu stood up and said, "I just came over to take a look. I made an appointment with Sister Qi to pick up the children. Sister-in-law is also busy, so don't keep watching."
The Tenth Lady nodded and said, "I will finish wrapping the remaining whips before I rest."
Shushu came out, and the Tenth Lady personally sent her out.
At the gate of the Fifth Institute, the Seventh Lady was hesitant, wondering whether to go back to the Second Institute first, or to the Sixth Institute.
She got the news and knew that Shushu had come out from the North Garden, so she came over.
After asking the doorman, I found out that Shushu did not come back, but went to the sixth institute.
Seeing Shushu coming out, Lady Seventh breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Shu Shu took a few quick steps and said, "Didn't we agree that Shen Chu would go pick it up?"
This will take nearly an hour.
The Seventh Lady took her arm and said, "I've been thinking about you and wanted to come over to talk to you."
The two sisters-in-law entered five schools.
Shushu thought about what she wanted to say to persuade Lady Seven, and when the tea was served, she said, "I want to talk to Sister Seven, too."
She didn't want to interfere in other people's education, but the Seventh Lady was not an outsider after all.
"I saw a while ago that my niece knows it well, but she speaks and moves slowly. However, the people around her treat her as if she knows nothing and take care of her like a baby. This is not a good thing in the long run. Seventh sister-in-law should treat her as if she is three years old instead of five years old, and choose two little girls who are good at speaking to take care of her. Let them talk more and learn more, and maybe they will also practice their articulation..."
At this point, she paused and said, "The same goes for walking. Don't ask others to hold you. Just walk a few more steps every day. Don't be afraid if you walk slowly or unsteadily. This child can't walk steadily unless he falls. In addition to walking on flat ground, ask someone to hold your hand while walking on stairs. Over time, he will be able to walk smoothly..."
As the Seventh Lady listened, her eyes turned red, her lips trembled, and she became speechless.
Shushu said what he wanted to say and stopped talking.
No matter how much property you buy for Hailan, the child must be able to stand on her own.
Life is so long, and parents can only accompany you halfway.
The Seventh Lady lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said in a muffled voice: "The Lady mentioned to me before, whether we should pick a young one from the Shang family to look after us. I asked our grandfather, but he didn't agree and said there would be other arrangements."
After hearing this, Shushu had some guesses and felt very upset. She waved her hand and sent the maids away.
"Choose a prince consort from a bannerman's family, and when the child is born, marry him to the children of Hongshu's family?"
Shushu sneered.
The Seventh Lady exhaled and snorted, "That's right, all men are like this, they think they have taken care of everything and are not disgusting."
Shushu also felt upset.
If the Seventh Prince really wants to love his daughter, he should ask the imperial physician to regulate the Seventh Lady's body and help her have a third child.
With a younger brother from the same mother, the Third Princess has the greatest security.
But even if the Seventh Lady really wants to give birth, there is no guarantee that the next child will be a prince.
If the Seventh Lady had no son, this arrangement would be considered a comprehensive one.
But the Seventh Lady was only in her twenties.
If I keep giving birth, why can't I have a son?
This concubine's son and illegitimate son were several levels lower in terms of royal nobility.
In order to elevate his son's status, the Seventh Prince would definitely ask for the title of concubine for Nala Gege before they were conferred titles.
If that happened, if the Seventh Lady really gave birth to a young legitimate son, who would be much older than his brothers, there would be chaos in the future.
Shu Shu said, "There are still more than ten years to go. Nowadays, it is popular for clan girls to marry late. Nineteen or twenty years old is common. We will see when the time comes. There is no need to say it for sure."
The main person who is the head of the family is the Seventh Prince.
There's not much room for maneuver.
For Hai Lan's sake, the relationship between the Seventh Lady and the Seventh Prince must be maintained.
The Seventh Lady nodded and said, "That's what I mean. Now the Third Lady is alone, and cannot compare to the five over there. She should save up her dowry first, and then ask for a title. She can live a leisurely life. In my opinion, it is better to rely on her sister than on her half-brother. If the Fifth Lady can also get grace and stay in the capital, and the sisters can support each other, I will have nothing to worry about."
Shushu thought for a moment and said, "There are many princesses in the royal family nowadays. If they marry in Mongolia, princesses without titles can be granted the title of Xiangjun, and princesses with lower titles can be granted a higher title. It is not necessary for the emperor's granddaughter to take care of Mongolia. Even if it is a marriage between Manchus and Mongols, there are still many Taijis in Beijing. The two princesses of the Zhijun Prince's Mansion will have to stay in Beijing. The remaining third and fourth princesses will most likely do the same."
The husband that the eldest princess of the Prince of Zhi's mansion is seeing is a Mongolian taiji serving in Beijing. There are also rumors that the second princess is from a noble family of the Eight Banners.
The eldest prince loves his daughters dearly, and he made such arrangements for the eldest and second daughters. He would only be more compassionate to the third and fourth daughters who lost their mothers at a young age.
The Seventh Lady looked at Shushu and said, "Over the years, everyone has followed the example of the Prince of Zhi's mansion when they opened their own residences. We must follow the example for this marriage as well. I just hope that Prince of Zhi's wish will come true, and we can also benefit from it then..."
Even if the Seventh Prince's Mansion really wants to choose a princess to raise Meng, there are still several illegitimate princesses.
Among them, the eldest and second princesses were born to Nala Gege. It is impossible for all the good things to be taken by them and their son.
As the two sisters-in-law were talking, it was already the beginning of the afternoon.
Shushu then instructed Baiguo, "Go to the headquarter and ask Concubine Jin if she can make preparations. We can set out at 2 o'clock."
Baiguo agreed and went downstairs.
The Seventh Lady looked at Shushu and said, "It's convenient for you to say these things."
Since we are going to pick someone up, it would be bad to leave the head of the Guaerjia family behind.
However, due to the status of the Guwalja clan, it is not easy for them to take the lead.
It is not right for the Seventh Lady to make the decision without the permission of the Guaerjia family, nor is it right to ask the Guaerjia family to make the decision. It is not convenient for her to take the lead.
Shu Shu said, "If Fifth Sister-in-law never comes out, we will have to get used to it. There is also Fifth Master's dignity."
It's okay in Haidian, but once we return to Beijing, there will be more opportunities to meet each other at weddings and funerals when female relatives are needed, and we will have to get used to each other.
The Seventh Lady nodded and said, "That's right. It's strange to say, no matter how unpleasant the Eighth Lady is, she is comfortable to get along with. No matter how docile the Concubine Fu Cha is, she still makes people feel awkward."
Even the Eighth Concubine and Lady Fucha treated everyone like this, let alone the Fifth Concubine and Lady Guaerjia.
The Eighth Concubine offended all the sisters-in-law except the First Concubine and the Fourth Concubine. The Fifth Concubine was always friendly and almost never had any quarrels with her sisters-in-law.
This is also the reason why everyone is so jealous of the Guarjia clan.
Not easy to get close to.
Shu Shu said: "Yeah, if we are awkward, they are awkward too."
But others can keep their distance from the Guwalja clan, but Shushu cannot.
It was not right for a concubine to go out, and others would also watch.
Only if the royal women respect the Guwalja clan, will outsiders follow suit.
Otherwise, if he neglected Guaerjia, he would be slapping the Fifth Beile in the face.
After a while, Bai Guo came back and reported: "The concubine said it is convenient and has asked someone to prepare a carriage."
Shushu and the Seventh Lady did not delay any longer and came out.
The Seventh Lady's carriage was also ready and parked in front of the gate of the Second Institute.
The Seventh Lady did not go over, and said to Shushu, "I'll sit with you first, and we can sit separately when we come back."
Shushu naturally had no objection, and the two sisters-in-law got on the carriage.
At the entrance of the toushi.com, a carriage was parked in the way and Guwaljia was standing in front of the carriage.
Shushu passed by and nodded to Guaerjia as a greeting, but did not stop the carriage.
The Seventh Lady also poked her head out and greeted her with a smile, "Little Fifth Sister-in-law..."
Guaerjia was stunned for a moment, then bowed and changed her tone, saying, "Seventh Aunt..."
When Shushu's carriage passed by, the Seventh Lady's carriage stopped behind and did not come over.
After Guaerjia got on the carriage and followed Shushu's carriage, the empty carriage behind it caught up.
In Shushu's carriage.
Shu Shu looked at the Seventh Lady and said disapprovingly: "Why bother to wade into muddy waters? You will only be blamed later..."
The Seventh Lady said, "Our two families live close to each other, and the Seventh Master has a good relationship with the Fifth Master. Sooner or later, they will have to take this step, so it's better to do it sooner rather than later."
Shushu knew that it was not the case. The Seventh Lady was also doing this for her own benefit, to share the Fifth Lady's complaints with her.
Shushu thought about the scene when she first married into the palace. At that time, she looked at the Fifth Lady, who seemed to be as elegant as a chrysanthemum.
There was also a stalemate and cold relationship between the Fifth Lady and the Fifth Prince.
It was she and Concubine Yi who coaxed and persuaded the Fifth Lady to take a step forward.
Thinking about it now, I feel a little regretful.
If I hadn't bothered to persuade Fifth Lady, would she not have ended up in this situation today...
