Brother Jiu glanced at her sideways: "If you can't bear it, why don't you want it?"

Shu Shu's smile became sweeter and sweeter, and her voice was filled with honey: "Yes, I am not an outsider, how can I use heretics..."

Brother Jiu hummed softly, raised the corners of his mouth higher, and still said: "You should eat well alone, don't fool around... If you feel hungry for a long time, add a bowl of noodles, tea, lotus root powder or something in the middle... …”

Shu Shu nodded honestly: "Same, sir, have a good meal... If school ends early in the afternoon, remember to ask He Yuzhu to hold an umbrella. Don't come back in the sun. You will suffer from heat stroke..."

The tenth elder brother was standing by. Seeing the two people reluctantly saying goodbye, his teeth felt sore and he quickly looked away.

Unexpectedly, I saw someone standing under the lantern at the courtyard gate in front of me.

It was the Eighth Prince. He didn't know what was coming out. He stood there and looked over here.

"Myna..."

Brother Ten came forward with a greeting.

After hearing this, Brother Ninth also turned around and looked over. He saw Brother Eight wearing royal blue uniforms and asked curiously: "Is Brother Eight going out at this hour?"

Shu Shu followed beside him and also knelt down in the direction of Eighth Prince.

The prince's elder brother's uniform has corresponding regulations.

Court clothes, auspicious clothes, regular clothes.

Court dress sounds like court dress, but it is actually the most solemn formal dress. It can be worn only a few times a year for worshiping heaven and earth, weddings and funerals.

Jifu is a formal dress usually worn during auspicious celebrations.

Regular clothes are said to be ordinary clothes, but in fact, whether they are the emperor's clan or civil and military officials, they wear this every day, and they can be regarded as official clothes.

Prince princes like the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince, who are still studying in the Shang Shufang, dress much more casually in daily life.

Except for bright yellow, which is reserved for the emperor, and apricot, which is reserved for the prince and must not be exceeded, any other color of robe is acceptable.

The eighth prince did not answer immediately, but nodded to Shu Shu in return, and then said: "Khan Ama has sent me to walk with the Ministry of Works these days. I have been looking at the account books of Bazhou's construction of the new river these two days, and I want to go there early. …”

The Liubu Yamen is outside the south gate of the imperial city. The eighth prince wanted to pass through the palace city and the imperial city. He happened to be on the way with the ninth prince and the tenth prince, so they went out of the corridor together.

The tenth elder brother couldn't bear it anymore. When he came out of the corridor, he winked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Are you still my ninth elder brother? You have changed your appearance, right?"

Brother Jiu glanced at him: "Speak nicely, why are you so weird?"

"Hmph! Who was the one who said he didn't want to get married? It's only been a few days and he's become like a real person! Go to school, it takes most of the day, okay, it's like leaving for three to five years... This is not You can rest assured that you can eat alone at home, while the one who is worried about going to school is looking at the sun eagerly. If I hadn’t been standing by, they would have held hands, not tired of it..."

The tenth prince curled his lips and couldn't stand it.

Brother Jiu got angry and kicked him: "What's this and that? That's your Sister-in-law Jiu. She knows that you love eggs. Yesterday, she sent someone to the imperial kitchen to get a basket of eggs to prepare... Be respectful in the future. It's really no use worrying about you..."

The tenth brother's face was sarcastic, with a bit of embarrassment: "How can I be disrespectful, brother? That's my sister-in-law, I can only respect you! I only said a few words to make fun of the ninth brother, and there is no next time... To be honest, I have to envy Ninth Brother. If Ninth Sister-in-law hadn’t valued Ninth Brother so much, she wouldn’t have benefited from her love for the house and the bird..."

Brother Ninth's face became better now, and he seemed to agree with Brother Ten's words.

The eighth prince was listening, but his heart trembled.

"Love the house and the bird"?

No matter how picky he is, he can't deny his wife's admiration and affection for him.

But……

Dong E can "love the house and the crow" and treat his brother-in-law kindly, the tenth prince. Why can't Baozhu "love the house and the crow"?

She explained over and over again that she did not believe that Wang was not arranged by E Niang, and she had a grudge against E Niang...

It wasn't that she was inconsiderate and thoughtful by being so obsessed with him, but why didn't she think that ignoring his biological mother would not only embarrass the mother-in-law, but also embarrass him as a son.

Is it unexpected or do you not care?

The eighth prince's heart went back and forth a thousand times. Looking at the two brothers who were still close and playful as before, he felt as if he was getting old.

Shu Shu watched them go out of the small door of the corridor, then turned back to the second house.

It's not Yin Zheng now, no matter how diligent you are, how can you use this time to go to the Yamen?

Shu Shu was suspicious, feeling that "encountering by chance" was more like "waiting for the rabbit".

Influenced by later movies, TV dramas and novels, Shu Shu had a bad impression of the future "Eight Wise Kings".

Otherwise, after getting married, I wouldn’t first think about breaking up the eighty-nine CP.

In the past few days, Shu Shu was deeply touched by the daily life with Brother Jiu.

Prejudice is unacceptable.

However, Shu Shu doesn't know how to be "love-minded". It's absolutely impossible to unite with the ninth elder brother and side with the eighth elder brother.

In addition to the sister-in-law's bad behavior, the brothers drifted apart...

You also need to strengthen your own weight!

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable for a married prince’s brother to sit idle...

The weight is too light and inconsequential. When chaos breaks out in the succession, there is no telling when it will be pulled to top the cylinder.

Shu Shu returned to the study and turned out the tea plan she had written before.

Tea garden...tea house...one-stop tea house...

Before, she thought it was a family business. Both she and Amou Enie thought so. In fact, this business can be big or small.

If it gets bigger, it might be possible for tea to spread all over the world.

In fact, compared to the small business of opening a shop, perhaps this is more suitable for Brother Jiu to try.

However, Shu Shu thought about the Eighth Age Brother he had just met, and was alert in his heart. He had to find a way to prevent the Ninth Age Brother from sharing this profit with his brothers. Otherwise, the Eighth Age Brother would not be left behind, and there would be no benefit to anyone. The binding is even stronger.

Shu Shu thought of her dowry and Shunan Silver House...

As a biological child, she received a large share of Eni's private property, which together was more than the remaining five brothers. She had long thought about supplementing it in the future after Zhuliang and the others got married.

Maybe you can use these as an excuse to make the tea business your own private property and just "ask" Brother Jiu to take care of it.

In this way, even if the profits are gratifying, he will not be embarrassed to think about sharing the profits.

I just can’t eat alone...

Shu Shu picked up the pen and wrote a few people on the white paper...

Wufujin...

My direct sister-in-law...

Yi Fei...

Queen Mother...

To put it into detail, these are the only people in the palace who are legitimately weighing on her...

Regardless of the remaining crown princess or the other half-sisters-in-law, there is no need to be careful in everything.

Everyone is close and distant.

Everything is thoughtful, but actually everything is not comprehensive.

At the end, Shu Shu filled in another name.

Guizhen……

No matter what the starting point of this cousin-in-law is, whether it is to please her husband's family, or she really has the intention of forming a good relationship, the generous gift really solves the dilemma between Amo and Enie, and it also shows that she has the support of her cousin-in-law.

Whether it's money or connections in the palace, it's all good for Guizhen.

It was daybreak and breakfast was served.

Shu Shu drank milk tea and ate milk rolls, thinking of her ninth elder brother.

The Shang Study Room is in front of the Qianqing Palace, and the daily tea in the Prince's Study Room is provided by the Qianqing Palace Tea House.

Shu Shu had seen the regular tea in the palace when he "stayed in the palace" in early March. It was a semi-fermented tea from Fujian that was between raw tea and cooked tea.

This kind of tea is okay for making milk tea. Drinking it directly can relieve food and quench thirst. Except for the mixed taste, it can't be said that it is not good.

However, it is not suitable for Jiu Age, who has a delicate stomach.

Brother Ninth has a small appetite and is fasting most of the day. Drinking this kind of tea is not good as it irritates the stomach.

Thinking of this, she told Xiaotang: "Send a message to Sun Jin later and ask him to ask if there is any barley when he goes to the imperial kitchen to propose the regulations today... If there is any, how many kilograms will it be? If not, send someone to look for it outside the palace. …”

Speaking of which, rice tea and barley tea both nourish the stomach.

However, rice tea has the effect of removing oil and reducing cellulite. Jiu Age is already thin enough, so rice tea is naturally not suitable for him. Instead, he can try barley tea.

Xiaotang followed Shu Shu. In the past few years, he had helped her prepare all kinds of food, so she was quite familiar with this barley tea.

Shu Shu's good mood only lasted until morning.

Aunt Liu is back. She comes to say hello and is waiting outside.

Shu Shu put down her pen and went to the west room.

Aunt Liu came in. She was still smiling, but her eye circles were a little dark, and her eyes were much more restrained. She bowed her head and said, "Fu Jin..."

Shu Shu did not reply in a hurry, but told Xiao Chun: "I don't have the eyesight to see, why don't you move a seat for grandma quickly..."

Xiao Chun responded, turned around and went out, brought a round stool in and said respectfully: "Mommy, sit down peacefully..."

Aunt Liu sat down unceremoniously, with a bit of calmness on her face, and said to Shu Shu with a smile: "I have been at Lao Nu's house for the past few days, and I heard that there have been changes in the dining room... Fujin is young, and there are changes in the family. They are flying the Five Flags, maybe they don’t know the rules of the Three Flags of our Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Shu Shu took a sip of tea and couldn't help but smile: "Tell me, grandma, what are the rules of the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Aunt Liu looked at Shu Shu's face and saw that she spoke slowly and looked like a gentle little daughter-in-law. She felt reassured and her voice was a little louder: "Our three flags of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although they are coated, they are royal Servants of the world... In this imperial city and palace city, most of them are served by bannermen from the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Speaking more carefully, they are all old people from outside the customs. They entered the customs from the dragon... After several lifetimes, in-laws have been connected with each other. It's none of them... Let's not talk about others, let's just say that most of the concubines and concubines in the harem are selected from the beautiful ladies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs... Whether they are masters or errands, they should abide by the rules. , that is, be kind and gentle, don’t get angry easily, who knows who is the real Buddha standing behind... Dealing with people for trivial matters, that is not the kind-hearted style of the master, and it is easy for people to talk..."

At the end of the sentence, her face showed dissatisfaction: "Fu Jin may have been spoiled at home, but according to the old slave's advice, life in the palace is not easy to be wanton... Fujin doesn't care about his own reputation, but he also wants to do it for his elder brother. Think about it..."

Shu Shu's smile faded, and before she could say anything, there was a shout at the door: "How outrageous! A palace slave is talking nonsense in front of the master! According to what you said, the masters don't have the final say in this palace, but you are the ones who have the final say. What’s your slave’s face?”
