After lunch, the young couple took a rest.
They were tired in spring and tired in autumn, and they had gotten up early to catch up late. They were both tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Near Shenchu, the two of them got up and changed their clothes.
In order to prevent him from waiting outside for too long like yesterday, Brother Jiu had already sent someone to wait on horseback in front of him. He would wait until he saw the Holy Driver's team and then come back to report the news.
Shu Shu stood on the corridor, looking at the mountains in the distance.
This place is already surrounded by mountains. Because the weather is fine, you can still see faint traces of the Great Wall when looking at the distant mountains.
The Great Wall fortress that will leave the customs tomorrow is the Gubeikou Great Wall. It is located between Shanhaiguan and Juyongguan. It is the throat of the Central Plains leading to Liaodong and Mongolia.
Since ancient times, this has been a battleground for military strategists.
Three hundred years later, a water town will be built nearby, modeled after Wuzhen in the south of the Yangtze River, named after the Great Wall Pass.
Shu Shu was still deep in thought when the tenth and thirteenth elder brothers came back from outside.
The thirteenth brother's face was flushed and he was holding a bird cage in his hand.
Seeing Shu Shu outside, he picked up the cage and came forward: "Sister-in-law, there is a big fair in the nearby town today, and there are actually birds. This is for my sister-in-law to play with..."
It's a yellow bird with bright feathers, like a ball of fur.
Shu Shu took the bird cage with a bit of surprise: "Thank you, Thirteenth Brother, it's so beautiful..."
In her previous life, she had been thinking about raising parrots, and they were large parrots. But after asking her friends, she found out that large parrots were for punishment, so she had no choice but to let it go.
I got my first birdie in my life. It was a gift from Brother Thirteen, which seemed to give me a hidden sense of accomplishment.
The thirteenth elder brother smiled brightly after hearing this title.
Shu Shu used to call him "Uncle Thirteen", which was polite and courteous. In the past few days, those who ate together and walked together became much closer and warmer to each other, and they also changed their names.
The tenth elder brother was nearby and felt that the thirteenth elder brother's smile was an eyesore.
He stepped forward, took out a bird-teasing stick from the side of the bird cage, and reached into the cage.
Shu Shu just thought Brother Ten was interested and handed him the bird cage directly.
Brother Ten played with the birds a few times and imitated bird calls.
In addition to avoiding it, Huang Que was dull and did not respond at all.
Brother Ten's face was full of disgust: "This is an oriole that has not been raised well. It cannot scream and is mute... But it's okay, it doesn't cause any noise on the road..."
Brother Thirteen was nearby and was so angry that he almost cried.
Shu Shu could only smile and say: "It looks bright, it's already good... If it's a songbird, it has to be walked every day. Where can we have time to wait for it while we're on the way?"
The Thirteenth Brother's cheeks were bulging: "When I get back to the capital, I will buy a replacement for my sister-in-law..."
The tenth prince sneered: "You have been in the palace all year round and have never been out of the palace a few times. You still want to buy things? Do you know where the market gate opens?"
"How come you don't know? Right outside Di'anmen is Buying Street!"
Brother Thirteen said unconvinced.
The tenth brother waved his hand: "Then there's no need to make empty promises. My sister-in-law wants to raise birds here. I and the ninth brother can trade them..."
The thirteenth elder brother muttered: "Don't the tenth elder brother also want to go to school?"
The 10th Prince felt a bit proud: "It won't be until the end of the year at most...unlike some people, who still need three or four years of work..."
The two of them had similar looks, but differed in size, and they bickered with each other, which made Shu Shu enjoy themselves.
After two lifetimes, it was the first time in my life that I encountered two men competing for my favor. Although they were little men, it was quite interesting.
Brother Jiu was standing by, lowering his head and said softly: "Watch all the fun, is it bad?"
Shu Shu glanced at him, was this fun?
This is my sister-in-law’s sense of accomplishment.
The tenth elder brother had taught him before, and he was acquainted with her. Shu Shu praised him several times for his "inner show" and was much smarter than the ninth elder brother.
The Thirteenth Brother doesn't have any "reckless" or "chivalrous" traits yet, he is just a good-tempered young man.
Brother Ten often used harsh words to attack him, but he would mostly just smile and pass by.
I can't bear it now because Shu Shu is here.
No matter how old a man is, he never wants to lose face in front of a woman.
He Yuzhu trotted over to deliver the letter, and the Holy Driver was about to arrive.
Everyone still followed yesterday's itinerary and was picked up by Ma Jiafugui, the manager of the line.
After watching the holy driver enter, Shu Shu did not go directly back to the courtyard where he was staying temporarily, but waited at the entrance of the second courtyard on the left.
Wu Fujin got off the carriage and saw Shu Shu waiting nearby. He hurriedly stepped forward and held hands: "You are here to greet me? Why are you so polite? The sun is still shining."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I should have come to see my sister-in-law in person yesterday, but I was delayed by something... Master Jiu was not sensible yesterday and contradicted my sister-in-law. It is not my turn to apologize for him, but I just came to thank my sister-in-law for protecting me... "
Wu Fujin remembered that Walnut came to deliver food last night, his face turned red and he felt a little shy: "It's just a sentence, why do you need to go out to express your thanks?"
Shu Shu herself was newly married and noticed something strange about Wu Fujin.
I just know that she is shy and won't say anything when I see through it.
Qi Fujin's carriage was right behind him, and he also got out of the carriage. Seeing the two sisters-in-law holding hands and talking in a low voice, he laughed loudly and said, "Why haven't we seen each other for a while, and you two are talking behind my back?"
Su Su smiled and said: "Are you going to tell me behind your back? I will discuss with my sister-in-law and think about something delicious to satisfy you..."
Qi Fujin spread his hands and said: "I don't care, I will share a portion when I hear it..." After saying that, he sincerely praised: "I have never eaten such good dried meat... It is also very durable, and it can be eaten with a piece of meat two fingers wide." Grinding my teeth for a long time..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but laugh. The beef jerky was not so delicious. It was probably because he was craving for snacks. "There's not much beef jerky, but there's enough pork jerky. I'll give you two packs later..."
Qi Fujin quickly shook his head: "Don't send it here...don't be greedy for me...I have to endure it...I'll eat it when I get back to Beijing..."
Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin were tired of traveling, and they had to get acquainted with each other. Shu Shu said these words and left first.
After returning to the back yard, Shu Shu ordered Walnut to pack up a box of beef jerky: "Send it to your Majesty, please let me know if it's convenient for me to come over and say hello..."
Today, Shu Shu accepted the gift from the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in full public view. Even if there were other reasons, Shu Shu still planned to make a report in front of Concubine Yi, otherwise it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.
Walnut responded, and just as he was about to go out, he saw Xiaoyu coming in: "Fujin, Aunt Xianglan is here..."
Shu Shu stood up: "Please come in quickly..."
After a while, Xianglan came in with Xiaoyu, holding a small fruit basket in her hand, but it was as big as an adult man's fist. There were several exquisite and cute persimmons in it.
"This is the filial piety of the manager Yaoting Xing. I heard it is a specialty from the nearby mountains. The queen ate the sweetness and said it was like honey, so she left some for Fujin..."
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Thank you, Madam. It's the season. I looked at the persimmon tree from a distance during the day and kept thinking..."
Xianglan said: "The queen has prepared some other things. She sent her servants to invite Fujin to come and talk..."
Shu Shu had just gone out to pick up the driver. He was all clean and tidy, so he asked Walnut to take him to eat, and followed Xianglan to Yifei's side.
While on the road, Shu Shu felt inexplicably funny.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, every time they send people to exchange information, they always use food as an excuse, and they are never empty-handed.
After a while, I arrived at the place where Concubine Yi lived.
Yifei sat on the kang in a daze, her face was painted with powder, and her eyes were dark and blue.
When she saw Shu Shu coming in for the blessing ceremony, she stood up and pulled Shu Shu to the kang. However, she didn't speak in a hurry. Instead, she waved her hand and sent Xiang Lan to take a group of people down.
"What happened to Brother Ninth Brother? Okay, why did you think of checking this? Who is instigating this in your ears, or is there some other reason?"
Yi Fei lowered her voice and asked one after another, her expression was very solemn, and she looked at Shu Shu with scrutiny.
Shu Shu's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She just sighed: "It's all a mistake... Master Jiu was impatient and restrained at the beginning, and he saw that the older brothers all had their own errands, so he used this As an excuse... I thought it was just a formality, asking my daughter-in-law to think of two new dishes, etc., which is also fulfilling our filial piety as children... I never expected that these people would be so bold, and they are just a repairman. As a face-saving project, apart from the living quarters of Khan Amma, the rest are all white paper walls... The same is true for the Queen Mother's bedroom. According to Master Jiu, this is what annoys Khan Amma the most..."
Yi Fei frowned and rubbed her temples, obviously feeling uncomfortable.
Shu Shu stood up, walked behind her, and started massaging her.
Mrs. Bo had obvious neurasthenia and often had headaches in her early years.
Shu Shu learned this, practice makes perfect, and the acupuncture points are pressed in the right place.
Yi Fei's brows softened and she held Shu Shu's hand: "Okay, E Niang is feeling better... Hey! This bastard, how can he interfere..."
Shu Shu could also understand Concubine Yi's dilemma.
It's really offending.
If we really want to conduct a thorough investigation, even the Guo Luoluo family may not be able to do it properly.
Although the Guo Luoluo family was favored and moved from the Baoyi Banner to the Shangsan Banner, they only carried the Sanguanbao branch.
This is also the practice of "raising the flag". Only the population of one branch is raised, not the whole clan.
Concubine Yi has a cousin who is a general manager.
The only reassurance is that he is not on the road out of Beijing and cannot be found for the time being.
Brother Jiu specifically mentioned this matter, so Shu Shu also knew about it.
Shu Shu talked about receiving the gift today: "My daughter-in-law didn't dare to agree to this, but Master Jiu said that this is an opportunity. If we don't leave a gap for these people to hide, there is no guarantee that they will not have other bad thoughts... Anyway, whether it is money or other items, they are recorded in the book and handed over to Khan Amma for disposal..."
Concubine Yi's face showed surprise, but also a little doubt: "Is there ever a time when Lao Jiu is so clever?"
Shu Shu didn't dare to take credit at this time, so he only said with a guess: "On the way out this morning, Master Jiu and Master Ten had been muttering for a long time, and they probably had it together..."
Concubine Yi's expression became gentler and she nodded: "Old Shi is a good person..."
However, no one can control the aftermath of this matter, it all depends on the emperor’s thoughts.
She still sighed: "Since we have already started, we have to do it well. If we offend these villains, we will offend them. It is better than disappointing the emperor... The emperor 'hopes that his children will become successful' and hopes that everyone will succeed." Brother is always on his own..."
