Unlike Bafujin who was full of resentment, Agesuo's Shushu still maintained a good mood.
good day.
There are big dogs and small dogs, what more do you want?
Learn to be content.
After choosing the color and material of the spring clothes, I started to ask the needleworkers to make them.
Food will have to be prepared later.
That is a big project, but we should wait until the first month of the year.
Xiaochun took out a small account book. It listed the favor transactions that needed to be prepared from the first month to the end of April.
This must be prepared piece by piece in advance.
Including the wedding of the tenth elder brother, birthdays of adults, and children's "Zhou Zhou" etc.
Still have to prepare a few more points for free.
Be on guard against those who have something to do.
Even if the hostess Shu Shu is not at home and cannot come in person, this gift is indispensable.
If you are polite to many people, you will not be blamed; if you are not polite, you will be criticized.
Especially when the Banner people live their lives, gifts from relatives are absolutely indispensable, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.
Walnut was beside me and he memorized it carefully.
When Shu Shu goes out, she will serve as the housekeeper of the Second Institute, and these trivial matters will be handed over to her.
Walnut said: "Fu Jin, Zhaojia Gege's birthday is in April, and Wang Gege's birthday is in June..."
Because Shu Shu got married at the end of June last year, Brother Ninth would not have thought of this. The birthday gifts given to these two people last year were unprecedented.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then pick two pieces of cloth and two first-class purses and go over. Make a note here. This will be the case for Wang Gege's birthdays in the future..."
Walnut responded and took a pen and ink to write it down.
She learned to keep accounts from Xiao Chun. It was not very neat, but she could describe it clearly.
It's just that this word is a bit ugly.
There is an oral memoir of a palace maid in later generations, which mentions that the palace maids were not allowed to read.
When Shu Shu saw it at the time, he thought it was true.
Now I feel something is not quite right.
The current number of palace maids is not like the tens of thousands that later generations thought, and there are not many in total.
They all come from well-off families, at worst well-off families, and there are many daughters of high-ranking officials.
Thinking of Walnut's uncle's writing style, and the fact that her cousins were good at studying, she thought of a possibility and said: "It turns out that you just don't know Chinese characters. You should know some Manchu characters, right?"
The Imperial Household Affairs Bureau's written test is mainly in Manchu.
Walnut's family has a long history, so it makes no sense for him to be illiterate.
There was shame on Walnut's face, and he said: "My uncle taught me, but I don't know how to understand. I always feel that there are dots of circles, and they all look the same. I really don't dare to say that I know the words..."
Shu Shu thought of this and felt quite the same.
Even though she had learned this since she was a child, she always felt that it was unsystematic and vague, and she could only write it reluctantly.
I also get a headache every time.
Now that I think about it, I am stupid.
The Manchu script appeared less than a hundred years ago. During the Nurhaci era, people were asked to refer to the Mongolian script and create the Manchu script, which became the unmarked Manchu script, commonly known as the old Manchu script.
During the Huang Taiji period, the old Manchu script was improved, adding circles and dots, to distinguish it from the Mongolian script, and it became the dotted Manchu script, which is called New Manchu script.
In fact, no matter which one, they are all based on Mongolian.
Not learning Mongolian but learning Manchu directly would be even more difficult.
Even Xiaochun and the others didn't learn Manchu when they were studying with Shushu. Walnut couldn't and couldn't be said to be stupid.
Shu Shu comforted Walnut and said, "I was wrong. It's too difficult. It's normal if you can't learn it."
Speaking of this, Shu Shu remembered that Xianglan was leaving the palace and said, "Prepare a pair of gold bracelets and two purses. When Auntie Xianglan is leaving the palace, please send them to her."
This is not only a reward for leaving the palace, but also the meaning of adding makeup.
Xianglan is twenty-five years old, and she went out so as not to delay her marriage, which should not be far away.
The gold bracelets she admires here are of medium weight, each pair is four taels of gold, and they are also very decent.
Half a year after entering the palace, the person who dealt with the most in Yikun Palace was Xianglan.
It's a hassle-free one.
If there was an uneasy person in the middle, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be so harmonious.
Shu Shu is not big-hearted and is happy to hold grudges, but he also holds grudges.
She felt that she looked easygoing on the surface, but in fact she had inherited Enie's coldness.
Not willing to suffer losses, nor willing to take advantage.
All the favors that could be paid for were paid for.
Walnut also wrote it down carefully.
The bulk of the expense is Brother Ten's wedding gift.
Shu Shu prepared two copies here, one was a gift for her sisters-in-law, and the one she presented was a bright gift.
One part is for preparatory makeup.
A suitcase of bags.
Inside are all kinds of silver and gold coins from the Silver Tower under Shu Shu's name, all of which can be used as rewards.
There is also a box of gold and silver necklaces, longevity locks, etc., which can also be used as daily gifts.
In fact, Shu Shu wanted to go back to a shop or a yard at the earliest.
Last year, the tenth prince transferred a shop to Shu Shu's name as a wedding gift to his brother and sister-in-law.
If there is a favor exchange, returning one person back is nothing.
But Shu Shu felt that it was too clear and eye-catching.
The tenth prince had previously transferred it to Shu Shu's shop, but it had been done quietly long after their wedding day.
But, it's different now.
Kangxi had already started checking the accounts from the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
If Shu Shu followed the example of the tenth prince, it would be in Kangxi's eyes.
Also in the eyes of others.
At that time, if the villain talks about this, he will be able to sow brotherhood between the ninth elder brother and the other elder brothers.
Before, their relationship with the tenth prince was more than flesh and blood, so they could reciprocate politely, but they should not be too explicit.
If you close a shop, you will return to a similar shop or house in a blink of an eye, as if you have settled a previous debt.
Buyin Gege is a Mongolian princess, so there will be no shortage of gold and silver in the dowry, but such a trivial one should not be prepared.
There is no need to send it to the inner hall with great fanfare, just carry it directly to the tenth prince.
It was originally intended to be convenient for young couples.
It is an old custom in Beijing that shops open on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The Yinlou under Shu Shu’s name is no exception.
Those two boxes of things were ordered to be made years ago, and the news came back that they were all ready.
Shu Shu planned to send someone to the palace at the end of the month.
Because she always kept various purses here, she asked Yinlou to make an extra one to supplement it.
Sending them to the palace together is not eye-catching.
The guards had checked and would only say that her prince, Fujin, had a rich dowry, a lot of money, and no shortage of expenses.
If she had another identity, Shu Shu would not dare to reveal her wealth.
There is nothing to be afraid of in this current status.
Everyone is snobbish at heart, and the people in the palace are no exception.
The maids and eunuchs in the palace were very polite to the two, not only because Shu Shu was not easy to mess with, but also because she was generous with her actions.
During the previous "reform" of rewards at the Second Institute, there were whispers behind the scenes, saying that Shu Shu was pretending to be generous but actually being stingy, so she changed the practice of silver rewards at the elder brother's institute.
In order to prove this, some people made rough statistics in private.
However, in the subsequent New Year Silver Rewards, the total number of silver rewards received by everyone did not actually decrease.
It's just a change from the previous way of assigning things according to levels.
It's not just a certain amount.
But "more work, more reward".
He was dissatisfied with cheating and cheating, and no one paid any attention to his sarcastic remarks in private.
A few days later, on the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, I went to the Imperial Palace of Supreme Harmony to see the court.
Kangxi finalized the departure time for the southern tour, which was the third day of February.
The report from the Duo Luo Shuncheng County Prince's Palace was also approved, and the deceased County Prince was allowed to protect his brother Bumuba from taking the title of the County Prince.
The third-class bodyguard Yin Desheng is the commander-in-chief of the county.
…
This day is also the day when the concubines go to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects.
Several princes from the branch office, Fujin, also put up signs to invite them in. They will enter the palace today to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. Everyone will gather in Ningshou Palace.
Shu Shu also went to Ningshou Palace alone for the first time.
Yifei did not go.
The Queen Mother had already spared her greetings.
I brought Shu Shu there that day a year ago, because I came forward because something happened.
Now that the weather is getting warmer and the roads are slippery, Yifei does not dare to show off.
Since Shu Shu went there alone, as a junior, she didn't dare to go out on time.
Gone early.
Wu Fujin came earlier and was already talking to the Queen Mother in Dongci Room.
Seeing Shu Shu come in, Wu Fujin smiled and stretched out his hand, calling her over.
Shu Shu gave the Queen Mother a blessing and met Wu Fujin, so she went over and sat next to Wu Fujin.
"Our father urged me to come. He said that the date for the southern tour has been decided. I asked the Queen Mother if there is anything else she wants to bring with her, so that we can help prepare..."
Wu Fujin took Shu Shu's hand and told Shu Shu the reason why he arrived early without Shu Shu asking.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Don't worry about me, I won't choose. You can decide what your sisters-in-law want to bring."
Wufujin looked at Shushu.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "I have already made a list here at Lu Cai. I will wait until the first or second day of February to make it. The main reason is that I am worried about being acclimatized and seasick. Then I will suffer a big disaster. I checked out a few folk remedies for dealing with acclimatization. Just in case, it’s a good idea to be prepared, just bring a few jars of water from the capital and some soil. When you’re not acclimatized, mix the two with the local water, and then If you burn it and drink it, you won't be able to adapt to the disease. How about letting Fifth Brother prepare this?"
Wu Fujin listened carefully, nodded and said, "I'll make a note of it. I'll ask Mr. Wu to get ready when I get back."
Shu Shu added: "The rest of the problems related to acclimatization are related to diet. I will prepare for this."
There's honey, yogurt and so on.
There are also traditional Chinese medicine sachets, which are specially prepared by people from Taiyuan Hospital.
Wu Fujin nodded, looking very convinced.
"As for seasickness, all I can find is what is mentioned in the book. I don't know how effective it is. If it's convenient for Fifth Brother, send someone to Tongzhou Pier to find more people on board and ask a few more people to see if there is a more symptomatic method. Round trip They are all waterways, so if you really get seasick, you will suffer a lot."
Shu Shu said again.
Wu Fujin agreed: "Yes, there is little water here. If you don't go far away, there is no chance to take a boat. It's so swaying that you may not be used to it."
The Queen Mother listened to the exchanges between the two grandson-in-laws with a smile without interrupting.
After Shu Shu talked about seasickness, she mentioned the purpose of her visit to the Queen Mother: "Emperor Grandma, my granddaughter-in-law is thinking that she is tired when she is away from home, so this meal should be based on your taste. The meal list of the dining room of Ningshou Palace is kept. Finally, my granddaughter-in-law would like to see your daily food last spring..."
This dietary preparation can only be done to accommodate the Queen Mother's preferences, and there is no reason for the Queen Mother to be accommodated.
During the last northern tour, I followed the people from the Ningshou Palace kitchen. The Queen Mother's daily diet was actually similar to that in the palace.
This time we will also bring people from the Ningshou Palace dining room, but if the number of people is reduced, it will not be so convenient.
Shu Shu wanted to prepare some food that the Queen Mother would use every day.
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Go and see, go and see, the ones on the side are not bad, milk tofu and milk rolls are indispensable every day!"
Shu Shu nodded, planning to stay until the concubine paid her regards, and then go look over the meal list with Aunt Bai...

I burst into tears, had insomnia after one night's sleep, and then my brain became slow.
The monthly ticket is no longer available, so I’m asking for a monthly ticket!
