After chatting for a few times, the siblings parted ways.
Sifujin, Wufujin and Qifuxin went towards Shenwumen and would leave the palace through Shenwumen.
Shu Shu took Shifu Jin to Gege Suo.
The three of them had been friends during their southern tour, and they were all very familiar with each other.
After chatting with Jiu Gege for a while, the two sisters returned to their elder brother's place.
Shi Fujin had known about Shu Shu's pregnancy before, and he came with his brother Shi to congratulate her a few days ago.
At the moment, she followed directly to the second house and whispered: "Sister-in-law Jiu, I have been thinking about it these past few days. Is it because I made a fuss about eating meat that time and angered the Buddha? That's why he only gave the doll to Sister-in-law Jiu and refused to give it to me. ?”
In front of her sisters-in-law, she was smiling, but in private she was a little worried.
They all went to "beg for a child" together. It seemed that I was not sincere at the time and just thought about eating, drinking and having fun.
In the past few days, Shifu Jin realized it and reflected on it.
Shu Shu said: "This is because the Buddha is caring for you. According to the doctor, happiness has to be delayed sooner or later. It's not good to be too early. It's easy to hurt the body. You are more than a year younger than me. What's the rush?" "
After hearing this, Shi Fujin immediately said happily: "Then I'm not in a hurry. When I'm as old as Sister-in-law Jiu, I will go to Hongluo Temple with Master Shi to offer incense."
After saying this, she said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, is there anything you want to eat? I wrote a letter to Ehe before and asked the tribe to bring beef jerky when people come. I don't know if it will be my elder brother or my brother who will take the shift this year. My father is here, it’s almost the end of the month..."
Shu Shu thought of her cart of beef jerky and said, "I still have it here. Fifth brother brought it back. You can keep it for yourself later."
Oddly enough, her sense of taste seems to be more sensitive now.
When I eat the original beef jerky, I find it hard to eat because it smells like beef.
Xiaotang reprocessed it and made it into spicy beef jerky before you could eat it.
Shi Fujin said: "Then Sister-in-law Jiu doesn't have a bad mouth? I, Ehe, said that she had a bad mouth when she was pregnant with me, so she wanted to eat apricots. But it was winter, where can I find mountain apricots? Later, my father asked me After visiting several tribes, I found half a jar of pickled apricots for her."
Shu Shu smiled and listened. She wanted to shake her head, but when she thought of "mountain apricot", her mouth watered and she wanted to eat something sour.
I really can't bear it for a moment.
She immediately ordered Walnut: "Ask Xiaotang to make two bowls of hot and sour noodles, one bowl is normal and one bowl contains an extra spoonful of vinegar."
Walnut immediately went down to deliver the message.
Shi Fujin said with a smile: "I ate early in the morning, and I happened to be hungry too."
The dining room is fully stocked with vermicelli and vermicelli.
However, dry vermicelli cannot be cooked directly. It needs to be soaked until soft. There is not enough time.
Xiaotang made two bowls of hot and sour noodles using vermicelli.
In addition to the two bowls of noodles, there are also four saucepans containing vinegar, chili oil, fried beans, chopped green onions and chopped coriander.
This was added for two people.
When the hot and sour vermicelli arrived, the couple started eating.
The bowl of Shifujin is less sour and less spicy, which is just right for her.
Seasoning is limited on the grassland, and the most commonly used ingredients for daily meals are salt and barbecue spices.
She loves to eat fried beans. They feel crispy and crispy, and the more they chew, the more delicious they become.
Seeing that Shu Shu only added chili oil and chopped coriander and nothing else, Shi Fujin rounded up the remaining crispy beans after asking.
Shu Shu ate the sour and spicy hot and sour vermicelli, feeling satisfied and finally satiated her craving.
The dining table was moved away, and Shi Fujin thought of the fried beans just now, and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, I asked the dining room to fry the beans. Why don't they taste like this? They are softer when they are cold. They are hard and not crispy... "
Although Shu Shu doesn't go to the dining room, he is a theoretical person.
She said: "You have to soak them first, then boil them, then dry them and then fry them. They are crispy beans. After they are fried, let them cool and then store them in a jar. They can be stored for a long time."
Shi Fujin's eyes turned around when he heard this, and he said: "It's so troublesome..."
Shu Shu said: "Since you like it, just ask the dining room to give you some..."
Shi Fujin shook his head and said, "No, go back and ask the people in the kitchen to take care of it."
She felt sleepy after eating, and Shu Shu felt a little lack of energy.
Seeing this, Shi Fujin stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, please rest, I'm going home."
Shu Shu stood up and said, "Come back when you have time."
After that, she wanted to see him off.
Shi Fujin stopped him and said, "It's not like he's a stranger, so there's no need to send him away..."
Shu Shu was not polite to her and asked Xiao Chun to give it away on her behalf.
After a while, Xiaochun sent someone back.
Shu Shu had cleansed her face and changed into homely clothes, with several small scarves around her neck and fully covered cotton slippers on her feet.
The scarf is not a common glory, but a silk and cotton scarf, which Xiaochun came up with.
In addition to the narrow ones used at home, there is also a wider one that can be worn when going out to prevent coughing due to air-conditioning.
Although there are earth dragons in the palace, they start to burn at a fixed time. Just like outside, it is the first day of October every year.
In late autumn, the sun is shining outside and it's still warm, but the inside of the house is starting to feel cool.
Shu Shu also changed into a thin cotton vest.
As the old saying goes, "Spring covers autumn and autumn freezes", but her situation was different now, so she was treated specially.
Shu Shu took a nap and felt energetic when she woke up. She thought of the reward from the eldest princess and said to Xiao Chun, "Come and take a look."
Although this was not what she was going for this morning, she was still happy to receive the reward.
The box had a simple feel to it. When it was opened, a pair of gold bracelets were placed inside.
The style is simple, just a pair of simple horseshoe bracelets, not a filigree-embellished style.
Shu Shu couldn't help but picked it up and looked at it.
The weight is not light, one foot is enough for two taels.
Seeing Xiao Chun and Walnut painting next to each other, he said comfortably: "This is an old thing. I guess it is from the style outside the Guan Dynasty. I also have a pair on my forehead, which were left by my great-grandmother."
Xiao Chun said: "If you put it this way, isn't that the eldest princess's dowry?"
The eldest princess married twice in total, once during the Taizong Dynasty, and once in the fifth year of Shunzhi, she married from the capital.
But according to convention, her dowry should be only one large portion, and the second dowry is usually an addition to the first dowry.
Shu Shu said: "Even if it is not a dowry, it is an old thing given by the Empress Dowager. Keep it well."
Xiaochun carefully put it away.
Shu Shu had a bad feeling in her heart.
It feels unlucky for the eldest princess to use these rewards to her descendants...
She looked at Walnut and said, "I guess the eldest princess will take Princess Rongxian out of the palace to the princess's courtyard in the next two days. Make a note of it and prepare an extra one when you prepare the new year's gift later."
New Year's gifts must be given in advance, especially for young people like them. They will start preparing before they see it, and they will start giving them at the end of winter.
Walnut agreed, thought for a while, and said, "Fu Jin, what about Da Gege of Prince Shuncheng's palace? Will her family be included in this year's New Year's gift?"
Shu Shu thought that Guizhen's Ama was unreliable and Chengjue's younger brother was not a sibling, so she nodded and said: "Add it..."
Although it is said that this time, that time.
The two of them are no longer sisters-in-law, and Shu Shu is ready to put on makeup and go back, not intending to let Da Gege suffer.
But favors don’t count.
It’s not like doing business, where you and I will settle the matter clearly.
That Daxing Xiaozhuang did solve the urgent need of Dong E's family.
Otherwise, the elders will still be worried.
If Guizhen Gege felt embarrassed, she would be alienated in the future; when she first married into her husband's family, he stood behind her to show the elders of the Shumulu family.
Even though Guizhen Gege had a normal relationship with Prince Shuncheng, she still had her cousin, Prince Fujin...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The Ninth Prince came and was talking about whether the Gualjia clan would move the palace in advance.
You know, as the Guarjia family registers concubines, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also increase the number of maids as usual.
Previously, there were four palace ladies in the name of the noble Guarja, but now the number can be increased to six.
And because she was promoted to the concubine position, she was also qualified to replace a female member of the family into the palace.
How to make up for these two shortcomings depends on Guarjia himself.
As for eunuchs, there needs to be one more leader eunuch.
"The side hall is narrow, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient when the time comes. However, the back hall of Changchun Palace has been laid out according to Khan Amma's instructions."
Brother Ninth said.
In the early years, the hierarchy of the harem was incomplete, but it has gradually become more complete in recent years.
From handling the population, to daily supply, to furniture and furnishings, everything is hierarchical.
Kangxi thought for a while and said: "Since tomorrow is a good day to move, let's move tomorrow and let the Ministry of Rites go directly to Changchun Palace to deliver the edict..."
Brother Jiu agreed and said: "Then son, go and ask the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare."
Today is the fifteenth day, and the move to the palace tomorrow will be quite hasty.
The only advantage is that no big furniture needs to be moved, only the soft clothes commonly used by Gualja nobles.
Kangxi glanced at him angrily and said, "Isn't it 'grounded'? Are you unable to stay still?"
Brother Jiu took the thief and said: "Khan Ama has a keen eye. Isn't my son just waiting for the money? He is just waiting for Khan Ama's five hundred thousand taels!"
Kangxi asked in surprise: "Have all the more than one million taels of silver been spent?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "That's about right. We have a plan anyway and we can't move it. This is called earmarked funds..."
I learned this word from Shu Shu.
Kangxi saw through his little thoughts and snorted coldly: "Can I still retort?"
Brother Jiu said flatteringly: "Khan Amma is the emperor, and he keeps his promise. He is not the one who waits to renege on his words. It is the son who cares about him who will cause chaos. I am afraid that the news will be exposed, and others will also be concerned about Khan Amma's money, so I want to hurry up." I’ll be safe in my pocket!”
Kangxi laughed angrily and said, "You're safe now. What will I do then?"
Brother Jiu patted his chest and said: "Isn't my son a role model? As long as others dare to be like my son and agree on a time to repay the money, and then pay one-to-one filial piety to Khan Ama's bonus, then let them borrow it !”
Kangxi sneered and said: "You are so boastful, aren't you afraid that you will be laughed at by your brothers if you boast too much?"
Brother Jiu put his hands together and said: "So you are my son's dear Khan Ama. How can anything in this world be guaranteed? My son will only tell you that when it is completed, you can praise your son well; if it is completed, No, you can teach me a few words in private so that no one else knows..."
Kangxi reprimanded: "You still know that there is no guarantee in the world? You dare to run such a big business. If you are really going to make a loss and lose your capital, why are you paying back?"
Brother Jiu said "hehe" twice: "In the future, my son will also have 230,000 taels of silver, plus Lao Shi's 230,000 taels, plus fifth brother's, this will be 690,000 taels." , no matter how big the deficit is, it can almost be made up..."
Kangxi said with a face: "You are so kind, you must know that 'brothers will settle accounts clearly'..."
Brother Jiu said: "You see that the third brother dares to lend 150,000 taels to his son. You should know how good your son's credit is. Don't worry..."
