"What does it look like?"
Shu Shu asked strangely.
If the real master can give birth to a concubine Hui Xian who makes Zha Zha Long happy, then her appearance should not be bad.
Brother Jiu didn't speak, his face drooped, and he looked at Shu Shu angrily, with questions in his eyes.
Shu Shu immediately frowned and said worriedly: "There are no girls at home. The families in the Ministry of Internal Affairs all have a vision of wealth and wealth, and they all want to climb high. I don't worry about that!"
Brother Jiu's face became better now: "Who knows why I worry about this, don't worry blindly, it's just that I have many followers around me, and it's not like the whole family is in my name."
Shu Shu looked at him and said, "Listen to what this means, if there is a beauty in my banner, will I accept it?"
Brother Jiu raised the corner of his mouth, pinched Shu Shu's face and said, "I didn't eat any dumplings today, why does the whole room smell like jealousy?"
Shu Shu snorted lightly and said, "I don't want you to worry about me anyway!"
Sure enough, offense is the best defense.
Seeing the arrogant look on Ninth Brother's face again, she felt relieved.
Mistake.
Curiosity is really curious.
It sounds like she's lustful.
If I remember correctly, Gao Bin was a close official of Yongzheng and replaced the Li family as the Suzhou weaver.
The Gao family's fortune did not begin when they became relatives of the concubines, but when Gao Bin was released to the outside world.
If he is really the rightful owner, does he think he has poached the fourth brother?
Shu Shu also laughed.
Giving birth to a secret pleasure of taking advantage.
The ninth elder brother mentioned the tenth elder brother's dissuasion and said: "Let's not bother ourselves. Old Ten is right. Working all the way to work like this makes me even more diligent."
Naturally, Shu Shu didn't stop him, he just said, "If you ask someone to prepare a lunch box, you can't just eat the dough all the time."
Brother Jiu nodded, willing to accept his wife's consideration, and said, "Prepare two copies."
The other one, of course, belongs to the tenth prince.
As Shu Shu had expected, Shengjia did not stay in Changchun Garden for too long and returned to Luan on the twentieth day of the first lunar month with the Queen Mother.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother all accompanied the emperor, and everyone returned to the Forbidden City.
Because the Queen Mother's car was driving, she still entered the palace through Shenwu Gate.
Yinzheng set out from the garden, and Maozheng entered the palace.
It's still dark outside.
Yesterday, Cui Baisui and Walnut returned to the palace first. The upper room in the second house had already been tidied up and swept again.
Shushu entered the east room, took off her clothes, and lay them on the south kang.
Got up too early today.
It started almost at the beginning of Yin Dynasty.
I was messing around last night, slept late, and closed my eyes for less than two hours. Now my temples are pounding and I feel sick in my chest.
Xiaochun knelt down and took off her boots. Brother Jiu said, "If you're tired, go into the back room and take a nap..."
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I'm just a little tired, but my mind is still clear. I'll go to sleep after you go to the Yamen."
For breakfast, there are sesame pancakes with meat and fresh meat wontons.
After returning to the palace, Brother Jiu no longer needs to take the food box to the Yamen. He can just send someone to deliver it at noon.
When breakfast was finished and it was early morning, Brother Jiu took He Yuzhu and Sun Jin to the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu invited Nanny Qi to come over.
Aunt Qi has big and small bags in her hands.
"What's this?"
Shu Shu was a little curious.
Aunt Qi is of Mongolian descent and is not very good at female work.
When Shu Shu was little, she did needlework, but what she made was Shu Shu's little clothes, little socks and so on.
I don’t know how to make clothes for the outside at all.
Aunt Qi opened the package and said: "One package contains bellybands and underpants, and the other package contains socks..."
Shu Shu took a brief look and saw that there were two types of bellybands, both made of plain color, half Songjiang cloth and half silk. There were about twenty of them, and the half-length panties were almost the same.
"This is too much..."
Shu Shu took Grandma Qi's hand and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, even though he was wearing a thimble, there were many little red dots on his fingers.
Shu Shu was a little unhappy: "It only takes more than half a month in total. Mommy is not idle. Do you want your eyes?"
Although Nanny Qi is not good at female prostitutes, she has never fooled around with Shu Shu's work. The needlework is extremely fine.
Aunt Qi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with you..."
This is because Shu Shu loves to be clean and is afraid of the inconvenience of changing clothes when going out, so she prepared these things.
"If it's inconvenient then, just ask the girl to burn it."
Aunt Qi said.
Shu Shu囧, is this the Qing Dynasty version of disposable underwear and disposable socks?
However, Aunt Qi said, "There is nothing wrong with the left and right," which made Shu Shu feel distressed.
In her own world, Grandma Qi only occupies a small part.
In Grandma Qi's world, everything revolves around her.
When Nanny Qi went out, Shu Shu called Li Yin and said, "Over there at the cat and dog room, can you go directly and pick it up? What's there?"
Li Yin said: "There are dogs, puppies, and cats. These three are the main ones. Other birds, lynxes, etc. are raised in other places."
Shu Shu said: "Then go and pick out a nanny dog. It needs to be good-natured and clingy, and then choose a little eunuch who can take care of the dog." After that, he told Xiao Chun: "Get a few rewards. , let Li Yin reward people."
Xiaochun took four purses and handed them to Li Yin.
Li Yin only accepted two, a big red superior envelope and an indigo small envelope, and said: "These are enough."
Li Yin went to the cat and dog room.
Xiaochun asked in confusion: "Why did Fujin change his mind?"
Shu Shu had talked about cats and dogs before, saying that she would wait until she moved out of the palace to raise them to save trouble.
This time, I am preparing to raise it in advance.
And the choice is not a cat that is more worry-free, but a puppy that needs to be taken care of.
Shu Shu said: "I don't know when my little brother and little princess will come, and I can't let grandma sit idle all the time. She's already getting into trouble."
Multiple puppies can be a companion to relieve boredom.
Xiao Chun glanced at Shu Shu's belly and said, "Fu Jin will be filial piety next month. When he comes from Nanxing, why don't he go to Hongluo Temple to pray?"
Little Chun and the others didn't say anything about Brother Jiu's physical condition in person, but they knew it vaguely.
Now that I have stopped taking the medicine, I am naturally recovering well.
All that's left is to ask for a child.
Xiaochun was born in the family, so he knew Shushu's nickname. He also grew up listening to the story of Qi Xi and his wife asking for a girl. She was deeply impressed by Hongluo Temple and was extremely convinced by the incense there.
Shu Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, we will go to Hongluo Temple then."
Whether pregnant or not, gestures can be made.
You can also take this opportunity to enjoy the mountains and rivers.
According to the rules, bannermen cannot travel more than a hundred miles outside the capital, otherwise they must report.
This is especially true for the clan.
However, if you want a child, you still want a child, and you should still prepare for pregnancy at your own pace.
But it’s not easy to wait too long.
The best time is to prepare for pregnancy for a year or two, get pregnant in the second half of next year, and give birth the year after that.
Regardless of whether it is Brother or Princess, the elders will feel at ease if the next one comes.
In the next three years of the Eight Banners Draft, there is no need to worry that Kangxi and Yifei will be thinking about their side.
Judging from the older brothers such as the eldest brother, the prince, and the third brother, Kangxi really doesn't have that much time to show his son a wife now.
The personalities of several people were all pointed out before the wedding.
The difference is that the eldest brother and the third brother's princess refers to their biological mothers, who are the beautiful girls of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Princess of Yuqing Palace was referred to by the emperor as the Eight Banners Show Girl.
Except for the initial wave of Princess, the rest of Princess Kangxi and her brothers' mothers and concubines were not too eventful.
Xiaochun's voice was brisk as she said, "When the time comes, I'm afraid Fujin will have to retreat if I'm here."
The cat and dog room is in the imperial city.
Li Yin went there for more than half an hour before returning with a dog cage, followed by a twelve or thirteen-year-old eunuch.
In the one-and-a-half-foot-square dog cage is a snow-white Pekingese.
It was not the kind of puppy that was two or three months old as Shu Shu imagined. It looked half-grown.
Shu Shu looked at Li Yin.
Li Yin said: "My servant asked about the puppy, but the manager said that this dog likes to bark, and it is noisy without training. It is afraid of disturbing the master, but it has been trained..."
Shu Shu nodded. It seemed that the reason why Jingba became a popular pet dog in later generations was also because of its strong body odor and loud barking.
Because of this, she asked Li Yin to choose a young eunuch from the cat and dog room.
Otherwise, instead of relieving Grandma Qi's boredom, it would cause trouble for Grandma Qi.
As Shu Shu expected, Grandma Qi's face was full of disgust when she first saw the puppy.
"She loves to shed hair. How dirty it is. It will make Fujin cough..."
Shu Shu took Grandma Qi's arm and said, "But I want to raise one. Concubine Duanshun raised one and named it Snow Ball. It's quite humane..."
Aunt Qi reluctantly said: "Then just raise it."
Shu Shu suppressed a smile.
Just leave the rest to the puppy.
Xiao Chun and Xiao Song were surrounding the puppy cage, and they all wanted to touch it.
Xiaosong said: "Fujin, is it time to give him a name?"
Everyone looked at Shu Shu.
The first thing that came to Shu Shu's mind was "longevity" and "hundred years old", but these two were personal names, the names of eunuchs from the Third House and his side.
"Call Ruyi."
Shu Shu said with a smile.
They say that nine out of ten things in the world are unsatisfactory, but there are still two out of ten things that are satisfactory.
And be optimistic about it.
As a result, there were two more establishments in the second institute on this day.
If the puppy is happy, eight taels of pork will be supplied every day.
Li Zhong, a young eunuch who keeps dogs, supplies eight taels of pork a day.
The puppy was clean when I got it back, with snow-white fur.
Nanny Qi was worried and wouldn't let Shu Shu get started.
I was afraid that there were fleas on Ruyi's body, so I wanted to check every hair on my body, and then wiped it inside and out with a wet towel before Xu Shushu could use it.
Don't blame Aunt Qi for making a fuss, it's because Shu Shu has some scarred constitution.
When I was little, I was bitten by a flea once, and there was a bunch of red envelopes on my calf.
As a result, it was not completely eliminated for three to five months.
Since then, deworming has been a big deal in Shu Shu’s house.
I also always have various mosquito repellent plasters and the like nearby.
Shu Shu touched Ruyi and looked at the dark, watery eyes and pink little tongue, feeling extremely cute.
Li Yin's job was well done.
No matter what the temperament of this puppy is, his appearance is top-notch.
Shu Shu groped around, and the puppy was not afraid of strangers and hummed comfortably.
For the entire afternoon, Shu Shu left Grandma Qi in the upper room, chattering and making clothes for Ruyi.
Seeing that Ruyi was well-behaved, Aunt Qi's face became much less disgusted.
*
The Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The yamen has been opened for printing, and the holiday for everyone waiting is over.
Instead, Brother Ninth became more relaxed.
Seeing that Zhang Baozhu and Gao Yanzhong were being used in important positions, the doctors and principals beside them could not sit still.
I wish everyone could hug me.
Ninth Brother is not a lover of power, so everyone who can use it will use it.
If you are willing to show off, he will give you a chance.
Fourth elder brother is here, led in by Gao Bin.
Regarding the summary of the southern patrol weather and other matters, Zhang Baoshuo and Gao Yanzhong gathered together on the 17th, and the ninth elder brother sent it directly to the fourth elder brother.
He wanted to send a copy to Yuqian before.
If you think about it too hard, forget it.
The main reason is that I believe in Si Age's character and that he is not the kind of person who takes credit from others.
As expected, the fourth elder brother readjusted the preparations for the southern tour based on that summary, and planned to report the matter to Qianqing Palace.
On the way, I came to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to mention brother Liujiu and wanted to sign a joint name with him...
