When he left Qingxi Bookstore, Brother Jiu had a look of reluctance on his face.
The little eunuch who had helped deliver the food box to the dining room had wanted to come forward to ask for a reward, but when he saw this, he stopped and did not come forward.
On the way from Qingxi Bookstore to West Garden, Brother Jiu didn't speak.
He Yuzhu who followed was cautious, fearing that he would get into trouble.
It wasn't until he entered Nansuo and was greeted by Shu Shu that he picked her up, spun him around, and said proudly: "Haha! It's done!"
Shu Shu also rejoiced: "Can we build a yard together?"
Although there is no clear time for moving out of the palace, with such emphasis again and again, it will be logical to move by the end of the year.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the point of building a courtyard? I asked Khan Amma for permission, and after finishing the wedding of Lao Shi, I will go out to the capital to welcome the Holy Emperor!"
Shu Shu listened and also became happy.
Although she is a theoretical person, she has witnessed what "young people should say goodbye for a short time rather than for a long time".
In my previous life, I had a friend, a childhood sweetheart, who was in a different place in college, and then fell out of love. She was still ashamed of herself, and cried on the phone, saying that she was too lonely, and there was nothing she could do, so he asked her to find someone too.
Hey, they are all stories.
Shu Shu was also worried that there would be an accident if the couple were separated for too long.
Now, I have a lot more confidence.
She smiled sweetly, her eyes glued to Brother Jiu, ready for drawing.
Brother Jiu also noticed the change in her mood and hummed: "You heartless guy, if I don't mention this, you won't be able to remember me when you leave!"
Shu Shu said sincerely: "I'm sorry, all I'm thinking about is me, and I'm so reluctant to let go. Otherwise, I wouldn't be thinking about the same color for my spring shirt. Even if I'm not in the same place, I'll wear a new one when the time comes." Clothes, you can also think of me.”
Brother Jiu hugged her hard and then put her down. He said with high spirits, "Master Khan Amayun will go to Jinan to meet you. Haha, when the time comes, I will go to Jiangning. This is also my filial piety!"
Shu Shu also laughed.
Only Ninth Brother has this heart. Even if he is short of time and can only pick up the driver in Jinan, it doesn't matter.
Apart from the time spent on the road, he spent less time alone in Beijing, and there were fewer temptations outside.
Thinking about it this way, being in the palace is better than being outside now.
There are only two princesses in the palace, and Brother Jiu doesn't like them at all, and Nanny Qi is here.
If you move outside, socializing outside is indispensable.
Who knows what will happen?
After Brother Jiu was happy, his face became more serious and he said: "From today onwards, before Khan Ama leaves the capital, I have to be diligent for a few days, otherwise I will turn around and disobey, which is not filial piety, but disobedience! I'm going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs right now. I'm busy there too. You can eat alone at noon. In the afternoon, I'll take a look at Lao Shi's place and come back together..."
Shu Shu didn't stop him.
After taking many days of annual leave, it’s time to go to work.
It was she who asked: "If I can find the files of the first two southern tours, then help me copy some related to the weather, water and soil, and prepare clothes and street food when I go back, so that I can compare them."
After hearing this, Brother Ninth thought thoughtfully and said, "Then I can also put together a copy and show it to Khan Ama, or directly pass it to Fourth Brother to see if there is anything that needs to be added..."
Shu Shu agreed with her face: "It's well-targeted and it shows that I'm careful."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's what I'll do. Don't wait for me later, so as not to delay me."
Shu Shu felt a little distressed when she heard this.
Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. There is still no news about the day when the Holy Emperor will return to Luang.
If Brother Ninth had to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs every day, he would have to commute fifty miles round trip.
She said: "I will take a look today. If the Yamen is so busy that we need to stay overnight, then we will go back to the palace tomorrow. There is no need to follow the emperor."
My husband and I came to the garden before, on vacation.
Now the vacation is over.
"It's not just me. It's hard for my tenth brother to go back and forth like this. It's warm and cold at first. Don't worry about getting sick anymore."
Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu listened and said, "I'll take a look first and talk about it when I get back in the evening."
Brother Jiu took He Yuzhu and Sun Jin back to the city.
This time he did not ride a horse, but asked for a carriage from the manager of Changchun Garden.
Shu Shu counted the days, and even if she didn't return to the palace early, the Holy Master wouldn't stay long.
After the banquet, not only Kangxi had to prepare for the southern tour, but the Queen Mother and the concubines on the list also had to prepare for the entourage.
The concubines accompanying this time were Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong.
The earliest high-ranking concubines were Concubine Hui, and Concubine Rong was added later.
Shu Shu felt that Kangxi should have felt guilty and used this to make up for it.
The rest are the noble Guarjia, the concubine of the king, and the six promised by Qianqing Palace, a total of ten concubines.
On the Queen Mother's side, there are four concubines, Jiu Gege and Shu Shu accompanying her.
Shu Shu called to Xiao Chun and Walnut: "It's time to put away the unused things. It's almost time to go back to the palace."
Xiaochun and Walnut responded and went down to prepare.
Xiaotang asked what to do with the dried fish and bird fish.
Shu Shu said: "Take it back to the Second Institute first, and then try to do it after the first month..."
As for the crispy fish, I will be tired of eating it in spring and summer.
Shu Shu thought of how to make side dishes of the Chao people.
Various pickled dried fish.
It's shelf-stable and tastes delicious.
Or it’s Lao Gan Ma’s approach.
Refer to Laoganma Chili Sauce, even if you replace the shredded chicken and beef cubes with fish, the taste should be the same.
While talking, Xiaoyu came in with shampoo.
It is rice water that has been fermented for two days.
On the 14th and 15th, fireworks were set off in the garden for two days, and the dust was so heavy that Shu Shu already felt that her hair was dirty.
However, the rule is that you cannot wash your hair on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because the sound "fa" means getting rich. If you wash your hair on this day, you will wash away a year's wealth.
This is not only the rule in the palace, but also in the capital.
Shu Shu's hair is black and thick and well maintained.
Because of Shu Shu's previous habit, when washing her hair, she also cleansed and massaged her scalp.
After massaging it once, clean it with powder balls specially designed for shampooing, and then rinse it with water.
After washing, apply a layer of yogurt.
This is a natural conditioner that can be used to nourish your hair.
It takes half an hour before and after, and three basins of clean water.
After washing your hair, have a clean towel ready.
Blot the water from your hair and let it hang loosely.
It's hard to dry your hair in winter, and it's also difficult to dry your hair in the house. At this time, you need to use a smoker.
It looks like an enlarged version of the hand stove, placed on the south kang, used to smoke hair.
Shu Shu's hands were not idle, holding a purse.
When it comes to big jobs, she has too much energy and energy to do them, so she can only worry about small ones.
I worked on it for more than ten days with just one purse, and it was almost finished.
With every stitch, the movements are soothing and my mind is also thinking.
The virtuous and prosperous people have been established.
As for historical development...
After being startled once or twice, she thought about it on her own.
All that has to be done is done, and the rest is left to chance.
It is not good to be unfounded.
Going against the will of heaven doesn't have that much energy.
Just do your best, no need to force it.
As long as he keeps a close eye on Ninth Brother, even if he is not welcomed by the time, he will still lose his wealth and glory, and his life should be saved.
So what are you worried about?
When Jiu Gege came over, he saw Shu Shu looking lazy and comfortable.
The purse in her hand looked familiar, I saw it every time I came here.
But earlier there was only a tail left, and now it is still a tail. Jiu Gege couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu is really meticulous in her work."
Shu Shu put down her purse, asked her to sit down, and said, "My hands are clumsy and my eyes are slow. Fortunately, I don't point to this to eat. Otherwise, it would be difficult to support the family..."
Jiu Gege pointed to the West Room and said, "I heard that Brother Jiu went to the Yamen. He won't be back until noon, right?"
Seeing her lingering fear, Shu Shu knew that she remembered Brother Jiu's words last time, and said with a smile: "Your Brother Jiu can't speak. My sister just ignores him, so don't worry about it."
Jiu Gege covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm not afraid of him either. If he talks about me again, I won't leave next time."
Shu Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Everything else is fine, except for his mouth, which is so annoying."
Jiu Gege smiled and said: "I see that Brother Jiu protects my sister-in-law and doesn't like her to be naughty with others."
Shu Shu glanced at Jiu Gege and did not deny it. He smiled and said, "Actually, I feel the same way in my heart. I want him to put me in the front..."
Jiu Gege was a little surprised. Although she had read a lot of books, the book mentioned that the husband and wife "respected each other as guests" and "browed each other equally", but nothing else was mentioned.
Shu Shu briefly mentioned this sentence and then dropped it.
A sister-in-law is a sister-in-law, and she is still unmarried.
If she talks too much, it will have a bad influence.
It's rare to be confused.
Shu Shu mentioned the news that the Prince's Courtyard was to be built to the west of the West Garden.
After hearing this, Jiu Gege said: "In this way, Khan Ama will spend more time living in the garden in the future. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for the royal grandmother."
The West Garden is so big in total.
The prince still lives in the Tuoyuan Bookstore in the middle.
In fact, it is equivalent to the West Garden being allocated to the prince.
Now it is divided into three.
Everyone lives in a rather cramped environment.
It's cold in winter and the cat is in the house, so it doesn't matter.
In the summer, you can't go out for a walk, and it will be a mess.
Shu Shu said: "Your Ninth Brother mentioned it and said that the manager of Changchun Garden was ordered to survey the north of Changchun Garden a few days ago. There are two gardens built by powerful people in the previous dynasty over there. They are now deserted. I guess To build the North Garden..."
That is due north of Changchun Garden.
North is the position of honor.
That garden is not suitable for other people to live in. It can only be the Queen Mother's garden.
Shu Shu estimated the location and thought it was between Changchun Garden and Old Summer Palace.
It is estimated that it will become part of the Old Summer Palace in the future.
Jiu Gege listened with joy on his face.
She is already seventeen years old and will not be able to stay in the palace for long, but she hopes that the Queen Mother can enjoy her old age in peace.
Jiu Gege said: "In the future... I will also request permission from Khan Amma to build a small courtyard near the North Garden. Then I will go to ask for the convenience of the royal grandmother..."
Shu Shu remembered the scene at Baiwang Mountain that day.
Although there are some gardens around Changchun Garden, there are not many at the moment.
As Shengjia stayed in Changchun Garden, the center of power also shifted, and gardens would be built around the area.
Shu Shu gave Jiu Gege an idea and said: "When the Ministry of Internal Affairs buys my sister a marriage property, my sister will keep an eye on it to see if it can be changed to the Imperial Mansion here in Haidian."
After hearing this, Jiu Gege felt a little concerned and whispered: "Then I really can't offend Brother Jiu..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "He is very easy to coax, and because he is used to being a younger brother, he really likes being an older brother. If my sister just says a few nice words..."
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other and smiled.

The Imperial Palace, the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
When Brother Ninth arrived, He Yi was on duty at the Yamen.
The ninth elder brother thought about the little elder brother of Yuqing Palace whom he saw on the night of the 14th, and told He Yi: "From now on, the daily supplies for the people in Yuqing Palace will be carefully monitored by the adults. Don't be negligent. Otherwise, Khan Ama will punish you, sir, don’t blame me for being unloyal..."
Since Khan Amma is willing to spoil him, then he should continue to spoil him.
Anyway, it's not his money spent, so he doesn't need to feel bad.
These words are nondescript.
If it were a manager with a civil service background, this would give him a headache.
He Yi was a guard, so he understood what Brother Jiu meant and said with gratitude: "Thank you Lord Jiu, I don't dare to..."
The prince is not only the prince of the Qing Dynasty, but also the prince of the Hesheli family.
He knew that the reason why he was promoted was to facilitate the prince.
Brother Jiu is now the chief official, so he has no difficulty. He will hand over the errand of meeting Yuqing Palace in his hands, which will also make it easier for him to move around Yuqing Palace in a legitimate manner...
