"I won't go then. I didn't think about you when I had to meet and greet you. I thought about you when I was working. How can there be such a thing..."
Brother Ninth Brother still insisted: "If you want to promote the fifth sister-in-law, they will do it. We are not jealous. They want to deny rewards and make us work in vain. If we don't go..."
On the way, Shu Shu couldn't say it carefully, so she only reminded: "Come out later, remember to have a piece of candy in your mouth..."
"What are you doing with sugar? You don't like what you say? Do you have to be sweet?"
Brother Jiu was unconvinced and said: "I just like to tell the truth... I just want to be nice to you, it's no better than trying to coax you with nice words..."
Shu Shu saw that he was not finished, so she took out a mint candy from her purse, opened the glutinous rice paper, and stuffed it directly into Brother Jiu's mouth.
"What's this?"
Brother Jiu took it in his mouth and sucked it: "It tastes like mint..."
It's mints.
Shu Shu remembered it when she asked someone to prepare mint paste before setting off, and made two boxes.
Use it as chewing gum.
I had never taken it out before. In the past few days, I had entered Mongolia and always ate mutton and the like. My mouth felt muddy, so I took it out and prepared it.
"It smells weird and there's a cold breeze..."
Brother Jiu didn't have the patience to hold it in his mouth and chewed it directly. He reacted later and hummed to Shu Shu: "Okay, I'm telling you to shut up..."
Shu Shu said nothing.
Starting from tomorrow, I will follow my mother-in-law...
There are only a few daughters-in-law in the world who are willing to guard their mother-in-law!
I also have to take care of a more noble grandma.
Shu Shu felt tired just thinking about it.
Brother Jiu calmed down, glanced at Shu Shu, and swallowed what he wanted to say.
At the door of their tent, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were still there.
When the two of them saw Shu Shu coming back, they were both concerned.
The tenth elder brother considered it carefully and asked: "Sister-in-law, Concubine Yi is suffering from motion sickness and is not feeling well? Is she looking for you to go over and think about something to eat?"
Just a few bowls of steamed walnuts were brought back, which were very sour.
This is what Brother Ten thought of.
If so, there's nothing to worry about.
Shu Shu shook her head: "It's not your Majesty, it's the Queen Mother's side. It's probably because the road conditions are bad and it's a little bumpy. I didn't eat much for dinner, so your Majesty called me over..."
Even Brother Jiu was beside him and heaved a sigh of relief.
Shu Shu saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the tents everywhere were lighting up lights one after another, so she said to the tenth brother and the thirteenth brother: "Go back and rest quickly. It's still early tomorrow, so ask someone to close the tent doors to avoid bringing insects in and out. Go in..."
In fact, there is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in the grassland now. It is already the season when autumn grass turns yellow. Mosquitoes are rare, but moths are particularly numerous.
When I lived in the Princess Mansion before, I saw it once. After turning on the light at night, moths were everywhere outside the windows. When I got up early in the morning, I could see moths of all sizes on the walls outside.
These moths seek the light and enter the tent, which makes them uncomfortable to watch.
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother went away respectively.
Shu Shu looked at the backs of the two of them and was very worried.
Inexplicably, she feels like an old mother.
They are all filial children.
Brother Jiu pushed Shu Shu into the tent: "Come in quickly..."
Shu Shu entered.
Xiaoyu and Walnut hesitated whether to follow and serve.
Seeing that hot water, clean clothes, and tea were all prepared in the tent, Shu Shu raised her voice and said, "It's okay. You guys should go back and rest..."
Their tents are not far from here, in a few small tents at the back.
"Do you really want to go tomorrow?"
Brother Jiu hesitated and asked.
Shu Shu sat on the small stool and rubbed her neck: "The emperor ordered me to follow the empress from tomorrow... The Queen Mother is timid in the countryside, has some depression, and does not want to eat. The emperor and the empress are very worried..."
Seeing this, Brother Jiu reached out and rubbed the back of her neck: "Why, you don't feel comfortable?"
Shu Shu nodded: "I guess it's because the dining room is hot, I'm sweating, and I'm exposed to the wind..."
She suspected that her discomfort was caused by psychological factors.
I had cervical spondylosis in my previous life.
This life will naturally be fine.
Brother Jiu stood up and complained: "Who told you that you have no other pastime all day long, except reading and practicing calligraphy... You don't have paralysis, but there are signs. Ask the imperial doctor to come over and give you two pictures. Plaster, plaster..." As he said that, he was about to go out and give orders.
Shu Shu hurriedly stopped: "Just rub it for me and it will be fine. The emperor just gave the order. It is not good to send the imperial doctor at this time..."
Brother Jiu took a long breath and stretched out his hand again.
Rare silence.
Shu Shu raised her head and saw that he was tired and said: "Don't worry about me, just let Xiaosong massage more tomorrow. She knows the acupoints..."
"Is Khan Ama really unable to knight me earlier?"
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, feeling depressed at first, and then he felt a little hopeful: "How about you help me think of something..."
Once you become a knight, you won't be yelled at by your elders.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "I want a title, but I just want to move out early. I guess it will be almost done by the middle of next year..."
The winter in Beijing is cold, and major projects such as building houses are suspended.
Construction can't start until the beginning of spring next year.
Even if a ready-made house is given, the renovation will take several months.
As for the title?
No chance.
After assigning a title, one must assign an assistant and a leader, a legitimate snare force.
Let’s not talk about the scruples of the tenth elder brother, just talk about the fifth elder brother’s side...
Kangxi would not give both brothers a chance to stand up.
Thinking of "justifiable", Shu Shu discovered that Kangxi had a problem, that is, he was extremely stingy about official canonization.
Maybe it's neglect.
Just like Zhang Concubine, it has been more than ten years since she was appointed concubine, but she has not been officially canonized or given a title.
The same goes for Wei Concubine.
When it comes to the younger generation, from the eldest brother to the eighth brother, they have been ennobled to Prince Duoluo and Duoluo Belle for half a year, but no one has mentioned their official concubines and concubines in Fujin at all.
Fortunately, everyone collectively calls him Fujin, and there is no precedent for the royal family to demote his direct descendants to sidelines, otherwise it would be really worrying.
A night of silence.
As soon as Shu Shu opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Song waiting nearby.
It turned out that Brother Jiu woke up early and did not disturb Shu Shu. He asked someone to call Xiao Song over.
"Press first, then get up..."
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu, and then told Xiaosong: "Slow down, I will watch from the side..."
Shu Shu then turned over and lay down on her stomach and said to Xiao Song: "The main thing is to rub my neck, it's too late..."
Xiaosong responded and stepped forward. He didn't take action immediately. Instead, he rubbed the palms of his hands until they were warm, and then laid them flat on the back of Shu Shu's neck.
Then she started pressing from Fengchi point, then Jianjing point, Tianzong point, Quchi point, and finally she took Shu Shu's hand and pinched Hegu point.
When Xiaosong put down Shushu's hand, Brother Jiu pulled him up and looked at Xiaosong with a critical look: "Don't use such force, your hands will turn red..."
Shu Shu's skin was white and tender, and the acupuncture points on her hands were slightly bruised.
Xiaosong had always been afraid of Brother Jiu, and was too frightened to answer the question.
Shu Shu pinched it and told Xiaosong: "You and Walnut go to the empress's place and tell me that I will go there after I freshen up..."
Xiaosong responded and went down.
Xiaoyu and He Yuzhu came in with hot water basins and washed themselves.
"Why are you in a hurry? Just go there before departure..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but persuade her when he saw her hurry.
"Your Majesty, I'm sure you won't worry about the breakfast at the Queen Mother's side..."
Shu Shu spat out the mouthwash, put down the toothbrush, and said.
Now that I have accepted the task, I should be more conscious.
Nowadays, being passive and slow at work is not as simple as deducting wages and bonuses.
Brother Jiu frowned: "Then I'll send you there..."
Shu Shu glanced at the door of the tent.
It's almost Yinzheng now, and it's still dark outside.
"No need to send it off, just these few steps..."
Shu Shu still felt troubled.
However, Brother Jiu insisted and said: "You are stupid again. I value you, and I will treat you a little more politely..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, wondering how he came to the conclusion.
Brother Jiu had no intention of explaining and took the lantern from He Yuzhu.
Shu Shu did not leave immediately, but asked Xiaotang to bring two jars of food, namely eggplant and perilla leaves, and the group went to Yifei's tent.
Yi Fei had already gotten up and was combing her hair. When she saw the young couple coming together, she was not surprised. She just said to Shu Shu: "I was just about to send someone to invite you over. What's the use of the breakfast at the Queen Mother's house? You can't really let the old man eat leftovers." pie……"
Shu Shu said: "My wife, let's go to the dining room and have a look..."
Concubine Yi nodded, her eyes falling on Brother Jiu: "It's hard to be diligent, so let's send your wife there..."
Brother Jiu hesitated for a moment and said: "Mother, you have to make an agreement first... Khan Ama and you can use Dong E's family as she pleases. She is a junior. Don't force her to reward you later, but don't let anyone be burdened." Still finding fault..."
Yi Fei rolled her eyes and waved her hands impatiently: "Let's go quickly, think of me as a fool like you..."
Shu Shu was beside him, very speechless.
Fortunately, Concubine Yifei understood people well and knew that Brother Jiu's words were not to favor his daughter-in-law in front of her mother-in-law, but because she was afraid of taking on the responsibility of taking care of the Queen Mother, so she spoke up front.
Otherwise, a good relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be instigated by him into turning against each other.
It seems that we have to find a way to let Brother Jiu learn the art of language.
Otherwise, if you let it go, it will be too annoying to come back.
The two of them turned to the dining room again.
The Queen Mother's grandmother is there.
Seeing Shu Shu, grandma hurriedly came over to greet her: "Fu Jin, I want to eat pie... but this buckwheat noodle is not easy to melt. Last night, I was rubbing my stomach and saying I felt uncomfortable..."
The Queen Mother wanted to eat pie, so the kitchen would not really plan to prepare the leftovers, but would inevitably prepare ingredients to make new ones.
Shu Shu thought for a while and then ordered Master Bai An: "Knead the noodles again, use hot noodles, mix nine parts of white flour with one part of buckwheat noodles..."
Not only is buckwheat noodles difficult to cook, but so is mutton.
It's better not to eat this pie.
Shu Shu then ordered another person to knead the dough, with the ratio of nine parts white flour to one part buckwheat noodles. The dough was moderately soft and hard.
This can make a bowl of pickled cabbage noodles.
The noodles are cooked and a plate of meatloaf is baked over there.
Shu Shu asked someone to put the eggplant and perilla leaves on a plate, and then asked someone to simply make sweet and sour cabbage hearts and sesame sauce radish skins to make four side dishes.
Brother Jiu was standing by, looking a little ugly.
He understood why Shu Shu's neck felt uncomfortable.
There are no stools in the dining room.
Maybe, because no one thought to send it to Shu Shu because of grease or something.
Keep standing.
It wasn't until he was approaching the Queen Mother's tent that Shu Shu noticed something was wrong and pinched Jiu Age twice, and his expression became better.
