Regarding the Huangzhuang under his name, Brother Ninth had never thought about it before.
All I want to do is harvest food normally and make a profit.
When I talk about it today, I realize that the Imperial Mansion can be run just like a shop.
"Then give it a try?"
He said with interest.
Shu Shu thought of corn. It was already available in the suburbs of Beijing, but the people didn't recognize it yet.
She said: "Then give it a try. It can be used with raising pigs and chickens."
At that time, it will also be a farm model, and the income should be better than renting out to collect rent.
Brother Jiu said: "It's okay to raise pigs. Pork is also valuable. What do you do with raising chickens? It's not valuable."
Shu Shu said: "Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens..."
Brother Jiu knew that eggs were expensive, so he said: "That's right, I might as well use this as a gift when the time comes..."
When you move out, there will be more places where you need favors and gifts. If you can handle it at home, you can save a lot of money.
The Prince's Mansion has been almost completed, and only the finishing touches are left.
Fusong was also able to find time.
It's just that Fusong is here at this age. No matter how mature he looks, he is just looking at him and has never traveled far.
The main part of Huangzhuang is in Baoding, and several others are in Shengjing, all of which require leaving Beijing.
Brother Ninth Brother said: "I received a letter from Cao Shun a while ago. He is also going to Beijing. When he arrives, let him go out with Fu Song to patrol the village..."
Shu Shu thought about the identities of these two people. One was a young master, and the other was also a young master.
Regarding farming, it should be limited knowledge that can be read in books.
She thought of her companion.
In the past, it was difficult to use the Xing family because of the tin pillars. Should we use it now?
She actually couldn't make up her mind for a moment.
Xing Quan and his son looked loyal to each other, but they knew each other well but didn't know their hearts.
If Xing Quan knew all about it, had doubts about Xi Zhu's identity, and still kept it secret, then he would be suspected of "dove occupying the magpie's nest" and had a grand conspiracy.
In that case, it would be a traitorous act.
But if I overthink it, misunderstand it, and leave Xing Quan and his son idle, that would be too mean.
Seeing her heavy expression, Brother Jiu looked at her and said, "What's wrong? Have you thought of any difficulty?"
Shu Shu expressed her concerns.
Brother Jiu said: "When it comes to deeds, there is no heart, and there is no saint in mind. Just see if it can be used or not. Are we still afraid that he will plot against us?"
Even if I had a bad debt with my uncle back then, I still had no choice but to do so.
Which man wouldn't be crazy if he wore a cuckold?
Shu Shu thought about it and said: "The Xing family father and son can come up with it. They have been silent on Zhuangzi for twenty years. They have listened to our instructions for more than a year and raised pigs and chickens. This kind of thing is not the same." It’s all ripe…”
Xing Quan was my uncle's bookboy, and when he grew up, he was also his uncle's long-term attendant. Before he left the uncle's house, he also acted as a foreign affairs official on his own.
Brother Jiu said: "Isn't that just right? Then there is no need to wait for Cao Shun. After a few days it gets cooler, Fusong and the others can go out to patrol the village."
Shu Shu said: "That's fine..."
Not to mention other people, that Aunt Xing was an old friend of A Mou, and A Mou also had a romantic relationship with her.
Otherwise, he would not have been away from me for more than ten years and still miss him, so he would have given this family to him as his companion.
I think too much.
Ah Mou is older than him and sees things more deeply than he does. If he hadn't believed in the character of Xing Quan and his wife, he wouldn't have thought of putting people at his disposal.
Even if she arranges for an old person, she will be the one who takes the lead, and she will definitely not harm her own interests.
Shu Shu put aside her worries and talked about her other two companions: "The remaining talents are ordinary. They are divided among the people in the family. The daughter-in-law of the two families is the eldest girl of my childhood..."
At this point, she smiled and said: "The two sisters-in-law are rushing to get pregnant and have children. I think we will have little brothers and little princesses to come in and serve..."
】
The wet nurse also depends on the time, but the nanny's words don't matter.
The key is that the next batch of people, who are a few years older, can come in and serve the young master.
Brother Jiu thought of Aunt Qi and complained: "What did my mother-in-law think, why did I let Aunt Qi be the nanny..."
If you have never given birth to a child, how can you take care of your child?
That is to say, Shu Shu is smart and must have been precocious when she was a child. Otherwise, how can such a nanny take care of children so that people can feel at ease?
Shu Shu pinched him and said, "What's wrong, Mommy? Mommy has never made any mistakes. She takes good care of me..."
If it weren't for this carefulness, Enie and Amo wouldn't trust her to take care of their daily lives.
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and tasted it: "How many people are you thinking about? Father-in-law, mother-in-law, uncle-in-law, as well as Aunt Qi and the girls, they are all crowded together and there is no room..."
Shu Shu sighed and said: "They can only accompany me halfway, and it is me who will accompany me until I grow old..."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Just remember this, even if you really have a baby, you can't be in front of me..."
Seeing that he was so jealous, Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, I'm still waiting for you to love me, and I don't allow you to put your child in front of me..."
Brother Jiu looked at her seriously and said: "Of course, you are the one who will accompany me until he grows old. Having a boy is for the mother-in-law. If it is not uncomfortable to give birth to a princess, you also have to worry about the dowry..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I think so far ahead..."
In fact, even though Shu Shu said she was looking forward to having a baby soon and picked up Ah Mou, she still felt strange in her heart.
This child looks cute in other people's homes, but if he really wants to have one of his own, he is inexplicably scared.
It scares people to death.
If it had been left to future generations, she would definitely have chosen not to give birth.
But in this day and age, with this status, not having children is more troublesome than having children.
She didn't like too complicated relationships and didn't want her elders to worry, so she gave birth early.

Early the next morning, Shu Shu was not in a hurry to send people to Changchun Garden.
Wu Fujin also lives here now, so it's hard to leave her alone to pay her respects to Concubine Yi.
The two sisters-in-law still need to go in and out together.
Shu Shu sent people to the third house first. Knowing that the fifth elder brother was not around and Wu Fujin was free, he went there in person and said: "Fifth sister-in-law, Master Jiu and I are going to Hongluo Temple to offer incense the day after tomorrow. Today I need to tell you if you are free in the morning? If so, can we go over together to say hello?"
Wufu Jin nodded and said: "Everyone is idle, so you can find time."
The card table that their sisters-in-law had set up for a few days had already broken up.
Later, Si Fujin moved away and was replaced by San Fujin. Everyone couldn't agree to go together, so the small gatherings between the sisters stopped.
Nowadays, they are living their own lives behind closed doors, which is similar to the situation in the palace.
So Wufujin said he was idle, which was indeed idle.
Shu Shu sent Xiao Chun and Walnut to Changchun Garden.
*
Changchun Garden, Huichun Villa.
Yifei had breakfast and was thinking about whether to have a card game in the morning or in the afternoon.
After all, in the garden, there are many people and it is difficult to branch out from morning to night. Even if you play cards every time, it is limited to half a day.
As soon as she moved into the garden, Chen Guiren and her son followed her.
Chen Guiren is a good match these days.
The remaining two are noble Wang and noble Guarja.
The two are a beautiful couple, pleasing to the eye, with pleasing temperament and temperament, and everyone gets along happily.
As for Concubine De, forget it.
Concubine Yi and she dislike each other.
Concubine Yi felt that Concubine De was too pretentious and she was sour in face.
Concubine De disliked Concubine Yi for being too active and unstable as she got older.
Concubine Yi raised her eyebrows when she heard that her youngest daughter-in-law had sent someone to say hello.
This is also the rule of "doing nothing without going to the Three Treasures Hall".
It's not that the children are unfilial, but that the emperor is in charge of government affairs in the garden, and the ministers of civil and military affairs are also on duty in the garden. It's not convenient to come in and out, so Concubine Yi has long said that she doesn't need Wufujin and Shushu to come over to settle the matter. Someone will be sent there when the time comes.
When she saw Xiaochun, Concubine Yi said, "I'm free, but what's wrong with Jiufujin?"
Xiaochun said that the two masters would go to Hongluo Temple to offer incense the next day.
Concubine Yi was stunned when she heard this and knew why Shu Shu was anxious.
Brother Ninth is in good health, and Shu Shu will be in her third year after entering the family next year, so she must be looking forward to getting pregnant and giving birth to a child.
But……
Yifei was a little worried...
There's really no way to tell about the fate of girls here. The more anxious you are, the less likely you are to get what you want.
Just like Wu Fujin and Wu Age.
It's just that she kept these worrying words in her heart, but she couldn't say them out, otherwise it would be like a crow's mouth, so she nodded and said: "You have free time in the morning, let them come over! Bring more people, don't get rushed... …”
Xiao Chun agreed and took the walnuts back.
After hearing the message, Shu Shu and Wu Fujin went directly to the garden without delay.
Compared with when she came out of the palace, Concubine Yi looked much better, and her chin was not so round.
She smiled and called her two daughters-in-law to come and sit down. She first said to Wu Fujin: "I heard that I brought my elder brother here this time. Are you naughty?"
Wufujin said: "Be nice and worry-free. Liu Gege teaches you very well..."
Concubine Yi nodded and said: "That's good. If Liu Gege doesn't know how to teach, you don't have to be embarrassed. Just tell E Niang, and E Niang will arrange to educate the nanny..."
Wu Fujin shook his head and said: "My daughter-in-law is not in trouble, this is her responsibility..."
Yifei is a sensible person. One generation only cares for one generation and has no intention of intervening in the education of her grandchildren.
grandchildren...
Thinking about her generation, she also had some heartache.
She looked at Shu Shu and said, "Good boy, don't be in a hurry. It's not a bad thing to relax for two years."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "My daughter-in-law is still a child herself. She is really not in a hurry at all. Our father, too, must have been holding back too much. He found an excuse to go out to relax and said hello in front of the emperor early..."
At this point, she looked at Wu Fujin and said: "I won't date the fifth sister-in-law this time. Our father is afraid that the fifth brother will say that he doesn't like to go out with the fifth brother, so he made an appointment with the tenth elder brother..."
Wu Fujin smiled and said, "You go first, and we will go later."
Yi Fei hummed softly: "As long as Fan is more stable, what can his fifth brother say about him? He is still someone I have never heard of. How old he is, and he still has people worrying about him..."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Who calls him young? The emperor and the empress dote on him, and the fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law also love him. It's not like he just does what he wants. This is Master Jiu's blessing!"
Yi Fei touched her chest and said, "It's his blessing, not mine. It's the debt I owed in my previous life, and I'm here to collect the debt..."
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged and she looked at Wu Fujin.
There is something in the mother-in-law's words. It seems that the news from the racecourse has also reached the empress's ears.
However, Concubine Yi had no intention of discussing this matter with them. She interrupted and said, "Have you prepared all the things for offering incense?"
Shu Shu said: "I have prepared sesame oil money for the temple, and also asked people to prepare some loose money and coarse cloth for distribution when the time comes..."
Concubine Yi nodded and said: "It's very appropriate, but this kind of charity must be divided into people. It is also a good deed to show kindness to those who are old and frail. If they are young and strong, they will be kicked out directly..."
