Coming out of the Tuoyuan Bookstore, Shu Shu looked a little unhappy.
Brother Jiu looked around her face and said, "Why, you feel uncomfortable even though you're doing well?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu and sighed: "I'm not as good as my father. I treat others with sincerity and have to weigh the pros and cons in everything. I'm too worldly."
Brother Jiu snorted and said: "Are you a fool and being sincere to everyone? What kind of relationship do you have with the Crown Princess? She said she was helping you, but in fact it was just part of the scope of her responsibilities.
, it’s just that we got closer when we met and didn’t act like a princess. Do you have to go to all the trouble for this? It doesn’t make sense! "
Shu Shu shook her head, it wasn't like that.
It's because she still has a God's perspective and knows the development of the next ten or twenty years, which is very hypocritical.
Today's visit has a purpose, and the generosity and kindness are all fake.
Comparing with the conduct and character of the Crown Princess and Si Fujin, the superiority and inferiority are obvious.
She didn't like this feeling.
It's hard to explain this to Brother Jiu.
While the couple was talking, they arrived at the northern part of the West Garden.
On the left hand side of the corridor is the building of the Queen Mother Palace, and on the right hand side is the courtyard used as a reading room.
The couple went over and stood.
The main building here is not a house facing north and south, but facing east and west, with its back against the east wall of the west garden.
There are five rooms in total, one with light and four with darkness, and three side rooms facing south and north. They cover the courtyard here and the corridor of Yuanzi East Road, forming a self-contained whole.
This side room should be the residence of the eunuch on duty, Dudu.
Shu Shu counted the number of people accompanying the prince.
There are four people in the name of the twelfth elder brother, and eight people in the name of the thirteenth elder brother, the fourteenth elder brother, and the fifteenth elder brother. This makes twenty-eight people.
There are five rooms, the main room is unoccupied, and there are four remaining rooms. On average, seven people live in each room.
If we don't follow the average, but if the prince and his companions live in separate rooms, it will be a room for eight people.
The current house is about one foot wide and one and a half feet deep, which is about fifteen square meters in later generations.
So few people live there? !
Amma didn't dare to think about anything, so she said firmly: "Can you stay away?"
Si Shu said happily: "There are people living in both the North and South Kangs. They are all big children. It's enough to have a small place with bedding."
Amma only hopes that her dormitory life in Daba will go smoothly.
At that moment, a person came out from the direction of Taiqian Palace and headed that way.
It’s Baidu addiction.
Seeing Amma and Si Shushu here, please take a moment to greet them.
Amma helped me and said, "Where are you going to go to Dudu?"
Bai Jie said: "The empress sent this old servant to the west to see Mr. Zheng and tell Mr. Zheng that he would ask Mr. Seventeen to take the haha beads to the Taiqian Palace for snacks in the evening."
Weng Ying and Si Shu Shu also had something to do, so they followed Bai Dudu back.
"Everyone is here with you now!"
Amma smiled and said: "Thanks to the grace of Prince Khan, your brother is also outside..."
Except for Qishushu and Sishanli, the Queen Mother seldom interfered with the affairs of other princes and princes.
What she did today was out of sympathy for Concubine Li Ding.
Amma was also very happy and said to Bai Du: "Seventeen is comfortable, gentle and sincere..."
With that said, you told the story about the seventeenth Shushu who had just entrusted you to send golden candied dates to Concubine Weng Ying.
Bai Jian's face also showed appreciation.
The Queen Mother had no biological children and only raised two grandchildren, Qi Shushu and Si Wengying.
Bai Jian is a loyal servant, so he naturally expects Qi Shushu and Si Wengying to be filial, and is disgusted by Qi Shushu's grateful and good character.
Nansuo Hall.
Da Miao and Da Tang have been serving everyone for many years.
When they are not given, the little family is free and easy, and eats beautifully.
When you come and let go, it will be more delicious instead of grabbing and eating.
This is because Xiaojia aims at not giving sweets and cakes. Do older children hate eating sweets?
The only one who was not as comfortable as Shi Qi was, with a smile on his face, but apart from a piece of tofu with raisin milk, he only ate two pieces of tangerine.
Da Ba still remembered the prince’s words of advice.
I did it to the extent that I regarded Shiqi Shushu as the prince, but there was a problem in treating me as an elder brother and younger brother.
I took the tangerine plate, walked up to Shi Qi Shushu, and said, "That sweet one, would you like to eat two more pieces?"
Shiqi Shushu's eyes fell under the plate, shook his head, and said: "Two petals are enough. The fruit is cool in nature, so you can eat it less. If you want to eat less, steam it and eat it."
Daba asked curiously: "Eat it by steaming it? Pears can be steamed and eaten, so can oranges be steamed and eaten?"
The seventeenth-year-old Weng Ying knew that I was the younger brother of the fourth sister-in-law, so she said patiently: "Those are oranges and tangerines."
Da Ba laughed twice and said, "It's strange that it tastes like an orange. It's sour at all."
Seeing my disgust, Shiqi Shushu hesitated and said: "That one is not a tribute. You only divided it into two and ate it after the New Year. You don't have an elder brother."
Daba grinned and said: "You don't even have two people in your family, you only don't have an elder brother..."
Seventeen Weng Ying said with a smile: "You hate eating steamed pears. This moistens your throat. Eating it will make you cough."
Dahachi swallowed and said, "You also hate eating steamed pears. You eat them whole every time."
Shiqi Shushu said in admiration: "He's really awesome. You ate one... and the rest was for others to eat..."
Da Ba said in surprise: "It can be eaten by others. It's called a pear, and it's auspicious..."
As I said that, I pointed to the fruit plate under the table: "Sister...Did Fujin ask someone to prepare brother? It's not for that reason. This can be shared!"
Shi Qi Shu Shu listened with a dazed expression and red eyes.
When Da Ba saw this, he scratched his head and didn't hesitate.
Baofu Shushu saw this and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Master Qi?"
Seventeen's tears fell like beads, and she choked with sobs: "You and I shared the pears and ate them... You miss your Majesty..."
Everyone who was reading became quiet.
Xiaojia also knew about the relationship outside the palace and only thought that the empress mentioned by Shiqi Shushu was my biological mother.
The oldest girl cried "Wow": "You also want a mother, a little mother, and an aunt..."
The two older companions, Enchang Shushu and Xishan, were left with tears in their eyes.
When Weng Ying and Si Shushu came back with Weng Yingliang, it was not like that.
There was no fuss, but the older child's cries were also jarring.
Si Shushu directly bent down and hugged Shiqi Shushu: "You were fine just now, but you were fighting for food?"
Shiqi Shushu hugged Si Shushu's neck and said in a low voice: "It's good to be Shiqi. Last year I shared the pears with the empress..."
Si Shushu finally understood and patted Seventeen Shushu twice on the front and back: *The eldest child is a good learner, how can he still stuff pears down his throat? Yes, still
Eat it one bite at a time, this is also a point! "
Seventeen Shushu was deceived and opened her mouth so big that she could stuff half an egg back: "Is this a score calculation?"
"Well, let's face it, it's all nonsense from older people, so don't worry about it!"
Si Shushu said decisively.
Shiqi Shushu looked at Weng Ying and said loudly: "But the fourth sister-in-law is also called Qie Lizi..."
Amma smiled and said: "Cut it, cut it!"
The weather is dry in winter, and the kang is also dry.
Knowing that the children were coming in the morning, Weng Ying asked someone to make snow pear and white fungus soup.
This needs to be simmered quickly over high heat before being put out.
Now it's no different.
Seeing that the villain is back, the big friends are as quiet as chickens.
Gege, who was crying at the top of her lungs just now, also stopped crying and was willing to let go of Cao Wan's hand.
While he was talking, Datang brought someone to bring him the stewed pear and white fungus soup.
Big friends, one bowl per person.
Not even A Ma, Si Weng Ying, and Bai Chuan Dui had any share.
Snow pear and white fungus, with red dates, wolfberry and rock sugar.
Refreshing and sticky, with a very harsh feeling.
After finishing the bowl of snow pear and white fungus soup, the elder friend smiled again.
Amma asked someone to send the prepared gifts, a box of Hu pens and a pair of purses for each person.
After the eldest children got the gifts, all the sorrow of separation they had just remembered was forgotten. With novelty and anxiety, they followed Bai Duidu to the Taiqian Palace.
Da Ba caused the "accident", Zheng felt guilty and pursed his lips tightly.
Weng Ying, the treasurer, comforted him and said, "Something happened, and it has something to do with him."
Da Ba said loudly: "You should be careful about what you say when you go forward, it's really scary."
Baofu Shushu touched my head and said, "We are out on errands. It is a good thing to be careful in our words and deeds."
Da Ba nodded, still not scared, and let go of Bao Fu Shu Shu's hand.
Chang En Shushu went to the other side of Daba and held hands with me.
Amma and Si Shushu sent the children out and took a good look at them.
After four months and half a day's work, they haven't been divided into eight groups yet.
Da Ba, Bao Fu Shu Shu, Chang En Shu Shu Yi.
Gege and Cao Wan had a fight.
The two officials' sons were with Mr. Xishan Duo of the uncle's house.
Amma and Si Shushu looked at each other.
Si Shushu sneered and said: "Look, do those who are waiting to climb the lower branches know better?"
These two officials' sons were in their teens, and they seemed to have met the one-year-old Xishan later.
He took the initiative to show his kindness, but he knew that this was Li Ding's nephew, so he didn't want to get close to him.
Amma did not speak.
The more courtiers flock to Li Ding's power, the more difficult Li Ding's situation will be.
Among those who disembarked, there were only a few at the front who were not ready to play.
The ups and downs of the officialdom will not be like this.
The key is not to be greedy.
Want to "follow the dragon's power".
In fact, it is also a gamble.
If you can win, you will naturally lose.
Dadang took a long time to clean up the main room.
It also became quiet outside the house.
Amma and Si Shushu sat directly in the east room.
Amma still felt awkward when she thought about Tuoyuan Bookstore.
When outside the palace, the place is small, but the seven circles of walls will make people feel less dangerous.
This is not your place.
When we arrived outside the garden, we were actually assigned to the south place.
But in the end they are the same.
There was a circle of uncles next to him.
To the north are the people from Li Ding Palace, and in the former Taiqian Palace.
Xiaojia silently divided the garden into eight parts and ran around among them, but there was still a lack of privacy and a sense of inadequacy.
Amma is thinking about the seventh place.
You calculated the time in your mind: "Are we staying outside the garden until before the Lantern Festival? Ten! Eight or eleven?"
Si Shu said happily: "I bet you're all right, there are no eighteen return trips in the early hours of the year, and there are no return trips in the late seventies. It depends on Prince Khan's arrangement. If Prince Khan comes back late, we'll have 5
go back. "
If so, it would be troublesome for Si Wengying to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day.
Amma nodded.
The two of them only thought that the holy driver would return to the territory before the Lantern Festival, but they thought that on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the holy driver would set off back to the palace...
