To the north of the east road are two separate courtyards.
It is also five rooms wide, with a total of two north rooms.
This is where two princesses are placed.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed and I am walking steadily.
Last year I saw that I was wearing a lot of clothes, covering them up layer by layer, and my face was round and had small breasts.
Now the breast fat has receded somewhat and the facial features are clearer.
Father Xiao!
It's a mini version of Si Age, with bigger eyes, ears that are close to Si Fujin's, and the rest of the nose and mouth are the same as Si Age's.
Seeing this, Shu Shu couldn't help but hug him, so she just said: "I'm fine, brother."
Honghui still looked good-tempered. He picked up the jigsaw puzzle that had been scattered before, put it into a box, and then looked at Si Fujin.
Si Fujin nodded and said, "Go and get some sleep, and I'll talk to your Aunt Ninth."
Honghui nodded obediently.
A nanny came forward to hold Honghui and get him off the kang.
In front of the small courtyard is a library, which separates the backyard from the front yard.
Honghui stretched out his hand and let her hug her, then stretched out his calves to land on the ground. He said something to Sifujin and Shushu again, and then took the nanny's hand and went down.
This serious look may not be pleasing to adults, but it looks cute to children.
"This is too good..."
Shu Shu sincerely praised.
Although she had never given birth to a child, she remembered what it was like when Xiaowu and Xiaoliu were young.
When he is two or three years old, he likes to say "no" as if he is deliberately trying to make people angry. He likes to confront adults and make his own judgments.
Only when you are five or six years old can you understand the truth and complete the rules.
Honghui is only three years old.
Si Fujin said helplessly: "He is the eldest son, and our father is a stickler for rules. When father and son meet on weekdays, they follow this rule and that rule..."
Shu Shu couldn't say anything, so she could only praise: "Three years old, my nephew is smart..."
In front of the library are the guest courtyard and the stable.
This is also basic social etiquette.
Praise your child in front of your parents and make sure you don't make mistakes.
As for the relationship between father and son, it's not just the same in Sibeile Mansion, it's the same in every family.
Not only does he look like an enemy, he also looks like a strict father.
Si Fujin pursed his lips and smiled and said: "What can you tell from a kid? I just hope he is safe."
Shu Shu's heart jumped.
It's just that she had already persuaded Sifujin to give birth to a younger brother for Honghui once before, so what she said again would be more superficial.
She changed her words and said: "The Longevity Palace and Changchun Palace are going to be repaired. Our queen will move to the garden in a few days. Master Jiu and I also plan to live there. Where is your side, Fourth Sister-in-law? It's sultry in the city. Otherwise, you can also bring Honghui there..."
After hearing this, Si Fujin said with hesitation: "There are a lot of things going on at home."
The responsibility of the legitimate wife?
In addition to the three-span and five-entry Prince's Mansion, there are many auxiliary rooms in the back, which are two rows in total. The front row is six courtyards with two entrances, and the row behind is six courtyards with one entrance.
Looking after concubines and concubines?
It’s hard to persuade Shu Shu...
"Let Manager Cui and Nanny Qi enter the hospital one at a time, and Fusong at the same time. Leave the others empty for now."
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu.
Of course Shu Shu had no objection.
Manager Cui, like Aunt Qi, is childless and wants to stay with their husband and wife until they grow old.
When the time comes to move here, the government's errand manpower will be mobilized, and they will reach the age of raising them, so it will be convenient to take care of them nearby.
Naturally, the movements on their side cannot be hidden from the next door.
Including the inverted seats in the front, there are more than 20 rooms in the left and right wing rooms and side rooms.
The eighth elder brother is not in the house and has gone to Haidian.
Yaqibu said to Grandma Yun: "The Prince's Mansion is pretty much built. I can't say I came here a year ago."
This one is not a good person.
Aunt Yun frowned and said, "It's really shameless for a bald prince to build a house based on the Baylor Mansion. The Emperor is too indulgent!"
Yaqi preached: "A son is more valuable than his mother. According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, the tenth elder brother is directly regulated by the county king, and there is no concern at all for the eighth master and the fourth elder brother."
Grandma Yun looked at the direction of the inner house and said: "Now that Fujin is dying, and Fujin hasn't come in yet, this is Haitang's opportunity..."
Yaqibu said hurriedly: "Don't be too hasty. Don't you know the temper of Master Ba? He said before that he would not accept Haitang, and he will not go back on his words at this time. He is the most face-loving person."
Aunt Yun frowned and said, "Then what should we do? When Xi Fujin comes in and stands up, where will there be a place for Haitang to stand? Knife."
Yaqi preached: "If you have a good meal, don't be afraid of being late. Why are you in a hurry?"
Nowadays, the property under the name of Babeile Mansion is managed by their husband and wife. Haitang is also capable, but she is afraid that she will not be able to stand up?
It looks very spacious and self-contained.
On the other hand, next door, he must remind his old wife: "It's better to stay away for the time being and don't provoke him. Brother Jiu is arrogant and arrogant. Jiu Fujin is not a good person, and he will be disgraced if he bumps into him."
Aunt Yun said unhappily: "There are really no rules at all. Our eighth master is at the top. Looking at his face, he should be more polite to us."
Yaqib was walking outside, but he knew that his eighth master's relationship with his two elder brothers had grown far apart, and they were no longer as close as before.
But the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother, one is powerful and the other is powerful, it is better to be on good terms.
Not to mention other things, even their clan members and relatives are all in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Bao Buqi will never ask for favors and burn high incense.
*
Sibeile Mansion, Sibeile is just taking a rest.
Knowing that the ninth elder brother was at the prince's residence with Fujin and several brothers-in-law, he told Su Peisheng: "Go over and ask the ninth elder brother to come over..."
At this point, I felt my tone was a little harsh. There were still my siblings and in-laws here, so I said, "Just say it's hot. Let him take people here to drink some tea and cool down before returning to the palace."
Su Peisheng responded.
There is a corner door at the back that allows you to leave the house directly.
Brother Jiu is not a polite person.
In addition, he also knows that "distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." From now on, brothers will live next to each other and rarely move around.
If you don’t get close to Sibeile Mansion, how can you get close to Babeile Mansion?
He said happily: "I was just about to bother Fourth Brother."
The group of people followed Su Peisheng directly to Sibeile Mansion.
Si Fujin also got the news, went to the front yard, said hello, then took Shu Shu's hand and led him to the inner yard.
The fourth elder brother directly entertained the guests in the front flower hall.
Because in the past few months, Fu Song was often here at the Prince's Mansion, and the Fourth Brother had also met each other, and he became somewhat familiar with it, so he said: "I heard that you will change your subsidy at the end of the month. Shouldn't you also prepare for a new house? It's somewhere else. Or behind the Prince's Mansion?"
Fusong was engaged to be Gege from the Niu Hulu family, who was also the granddaughter of the Tong family.
Her biological mother was Empress Xiaoyi's concubine.
This is the garden Shu Shu reserved for Mrs. Bo after discussing with Brother Jiu.
The fourth brother had not met his aunt a few times, but he still remembered clearly that every year on his birthday, she would bring needles and threads to her. He remembered this favor.
Fusong hesitated.
Because he planned to get married next year, he really thought about this issue.
He also has a sum of money in his name, which was saved for him by Jueluo Shi and Shu Shu.
He wanted to buy a house near Dutong Mansion, but there was no suitable one for the time being.
Brother Jiu said: "I'm inquiring about the house in Xianglan Banner, but it's too far away and it's inconvenient. The new house will be placed in the back street first, and we can use the yard here directly."
Brother Si nodded and said, "That's fine."
Fusong is too young. Even if he replaces the chief of ceremonies and has a fourth-grade crown, it will not be easy to fill other vacancies.
Lack of qualifications, career, and title.
There is no way to obtain worldly positions and titles, so you can only accumulate qualifications.
When she becomes pregnant, Mrs. Bo can move into the mansion and live here.
When you are in your twenties and your seniority is almost there, it will be easier to fill the vacancies or seek employment abroad.
The fourth elder brother looked at Zhuliang again. His appearance was much worse than that of Fusong, but he looked honest.
Looking at Xiao Wu next, he looks a bit like Qi Xi.
He is not very old, but he is strong and strong, with long arms and legs, and he will be about the same height in the future.
Several generations of the Dong E family's ancestors have accumulated their achievements on horseback. Nowadays, the situation that there are no direct descendants is also sad.
I hope the younger generation can get up.
Look at Ninth Brother again.
Brother Jiu was guarding a plate of plums and leaned back in his chair without sitting down. He had already eaten half of the plate.
Seeing this, the fourth elder brother felt his mouth was sore and said: "Eat less, it will ruin your stomach and your teeth... drink more tea when you are thirsty..."
Brother Jiu ate all the plums in his mouth, then glanced at the hot tea next to him with disgust, and said: "Fourth brother, why do you still drink hot tea in this hot weather? Isn't there any herbal tea? Iced milk tea is also fine, or Sour plum soup or something.”
The area to the south of the second courtyard is empty.
Fourth Brother said: "The more severe the weather is, the more you should not be greedy for cold weather."
Brother Jiu saw that he was wearing several layers of clothes and his sleeves were tightly buttoned. He felt hot just looking at him.
He took a look and saw that there was no ice in the room.
Just use the draft from the doors and windows to get a little coolness.
He was disgusted and said: "If you are not rich, tell your brother and ask someone to send Ban Yue later."
There are also many ice cellars outside the palace. With money on the account, a truck of ice is delivered every day, which does not cost a lot of money in total.
Fourth Brother: Teeth.
As if he was stingy.
Brother Si said, "You don't need to worry about this. I went to the garden yesterday and saw the eunuch beside you cleaning the yard. Do you want to move there?"
"Um."
According to the plan, this place will be a small school ground and a small garden combined into one.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "My younger brother got the heat wave last year, so he is afraid of the heat. He feels sick when he is hot."
Because the Queen Mother supplemented Ersuo Bing, some voices came out in the palace, saying that Jiu Fujin was coquettish.
When Brother Jiu heard about it, he changed his words to the outside world and took it upon himself.
Now the outside world knows that it is he who is squeamish, not Shu Shu.
Fourth Brother's eyes were much softer.
For a person who is so afraid of heat, he has delayed moving there until now. His filial piety is commendable.
Thinking of this, he was a little stunned.
It seems that he lacks a little bit of filial piety...
The eighth prince next door also lacks a little bit of filial piety.
*
Behind the West Road are several independent small courtyards, all of which are small triple courtyards with about a dozen rooms.
Inner courtyard, main room.
Sifujin directly led Shu Shu to Dongcijian.
There is a three-headed boy on the kang, lying on the small table, playing with several jigsaw puzzles.
When he saw a guest coming in, he stood up in a polite manner.
"This is Aunt Ninth, please hurry up and seal her."
When Si Fujin saw his eldest son, his tone became much softer.
"Ninth Aunt Ann."
This is Honghui, the eldest brother of Sibeile Mansion. He was born in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign. He is three years old and speaks very clearly.
Shu Shu had met him once before, when the fourth elder brother's family moved from the palace.
I had just learned to speak at that time and didn’t know how to call people.
