The day is September 16th, which is suitable for moving and celebrating.
This day is also the day when Concubine Wei, Concubine Zhang and the Guarja nobles perform the registration ceremony.
The related ceremony was still a bit complicated, but it was not Prince Fujin's turn to attend the ceremony.
In the previous dynasty, there was a festival table in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the decrees of the concubines were placed on the left side.
In the middle of the palace, there is also a festival table and an incense table.
What Shu Shu needs to prepare is a few congratulatory gifts.
The fourth elder brother sent in a gift list, which he copied from the Chief of the Prince's Palace of Zhijun.
Everyone will reduce the amount according to the rules of the Zhijun Prince's Mansion.
The congratulatory gifts are also relatively simple, just gold and jade ornaments, clothing materials and so on.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu asked Xiao Chun to find some soapstone ornaments in the warehouse.
This is purchased directly from Hangzhou.
The material used for carving is the kind of pink frozen fossil with little cinnabar, which looks delicate and cute.
But after Shu Shu saw it, he thought about it and let it go.
What if the other person thinks the name is unlucky.
She picked one with peach blossom jelly and asked Xiao Chun to place it on the Duobao Pavilion, while she asked the others to be put away.
In the past few months, I have been burning blue jewelry and visiting Xiaotangshan, but I have not paid attention to those soapstones.
Following the example, Brother Jiu has already ordered the jade craftsmen inside to start carving.
When the time comes, I will directly "present you". Apart from the mountain placed in Xinuang Pavilion, the rest are just a few small ornaments.
Shu Shu looked at the list in his warehouse and said: "The concubines gave me a makeup mirror and French perfume each, a roll of Western velvet, two pieces of Ning silk..."
As she spoke, she added: "A bundle of gem bonsai, a pair of paperweights, two rolls of Western velvet, and four pieces of Ning silk. These are prepared to be sent back to the Empress of Yongshou Palace..."
Xiao Chun took note of it and said: "Fu Jin, in the next few days, when the good concubine moves to the palace, will you still send her as a gift?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Send it. Prepare two gifts based on the last gift from Chuxiu Palace. One will be sent to Changchun Palace today) and the other will be sent later."
People do not blame.
Less courtesy is a slap in the face and unnecessary.
It's just that other concubines can send people around them to send congratulatory gifts, but Shu Shu and Shi Fujin, the two juniors in the palace, are not suitable.
But Shu Shu was in the early stages of pregnancy, so it was time to be careful. Going over to congratulate her in person would only cause trouble for the other party.
So, Nanny Qi took Xiaochun and went with Shifujin to give gifts.
There is no change in the order of the three concubines today.
The good concubines are the first, the smart concubines are second, and the harmonious concubines are last.
This is also a proper courtesy.
If he and his concubines were sealed in the front, the government and the public might criticize the emperor for being a weakling.
For this reason, Shifujin and his party went to Qixiang Palace first, then to Chuxiu Palace, and finally to Changchun Palace.
By the time he came back from walking around, Shi Fujin was already out of breath. He sat down on the kang and complained to Shu Shu: "These flag shoes are really terrible. If I wear boots, I won't be tired after walking all day..."
Since she was here to congratulate her, she also changed into her flag uniform and flag shoes and dressed appropriately.
I thought it wouldn't be too tiring to stay in the West Sixth Palace, but after walking around like this for a few times, I felt uncomfortable.
Shu Shu couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched Shi Fujin's arm. It was full of flesh.
In the first half of the year, I lost some meat due to traveling south, and since autumn, I have been back.
Shu Shu couldn't help but said: "Brother and sister, don't you want to go to Hongluo Temple to ask for a child next year? In that case, you have to restrain yourself..."
It wasn't obvious before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, it might be because the weather got colder and he ate too much. Shi Fujin should have gained a lot of weight.
Shi Fujin said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, I'm hungry."
Shu Shu felt that Shi Fujin had a big appetite and said, "Eat more meat and less fruit."
The meat is more filling.
Shi Fujin nodded happily and said, "I listen to my sister-in-law."
The next day, the three concubines went to Qianqing Palace and Ningshou Palace to salute.
This is no longer the junior’s business.
Shu Shu listened to it for a while and then put it aside.
In recent days, when she had some free time, she took the drawings of the Prince's Mansion to make plans.
In the back room, there is one room for the Xing family to live in, and one room for Nanny Qi and Manager Cui each.
Six of them entered the courtyard, leaving the one on the east side diagonally opposite to the gate of the backyard of the palace to Fu Song.
The main house in the main courtyard on the middle road still has five rooms. It can be the same as the layout that my brother has now. I will get used to it when the time comes.
There are only two wing rooms on each side, and the west wing room is intended to be a clean room.
The back room and building at the back of the main courtyard.
Shu Shu planned to use the east rooms as inner warehouses and leave the west rooms empty for now.
The wing in the backyard can be allocated to Xiaochun and the others.
The east wing of the main courtyard is reserved for the baby in the belly.
When the time comes, the wet nurse will be placed in the east wing.
When I saw several small courtyards on the West Road, I felt comfortable and silent.
She is not a cruel person, but she does not dare to slack off.
Who told them to have different positions?
Shu Shu will not pretend to be guilty.
Since the family has applied for the small election of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if she does not go to the elder brother's office, she will be assigned to be a serving maid, and she will not be able to leave the palace until she is twenty-five years old like Xianglan.
Now half a master is also a master.
Thinking of this, Shu Shu touched her belly.
mediocre.
If according to the plot in the novel, the jealous mistress is pregnant, the concubine will have trouble.
I don’t know if Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege were frightened, but they are very calm this year.
In February, when Shu Shu followed the southern tour, he did not go to the front yard.
When Shu Shu came back, they each asked someone to send a reward to them.
It's less than three months now, and even among the people her elder brother lives with, only the people around her ninth elder brother and the main servants know about her pregnancy.
Three months later, when the two of them knew that their mistress was pregnant, they were still willing to be content with each other. This was the true contentment.
Shu Shu lowered his head and smiled.
Early in life, early in life.
When he turned around and took Ah Mou into his house, he was still a big treasure.
In the blink of an eye, September 20th came, and it was the day of greetings from Ningshou Palace again.
Shu Shu doesn’t have to go this time.
But she didn't get up too late, Chen Chu also woke up.
After the couple had breakfast, Brother Jiu went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It was already the second half of the year, and his "grounding" was over.
Shu Shu called Xiaotang over to prepare tea.
"Shi Fujin likes to eat crispy food, so I'll get a portion of dried red dates and a portion of dried apples."
"Qi Fujin loves meat, so I'll have a piece of spicy beef jerky and a piece of the duck liver braised yesterday."
Qi Fujin used to be a sugar Buddha, but his taste also changed after giving birth to a daughter.
"Sifujin eats vegetarian food, so let's have a piece of milk corn cake and a piece of red date cake."
"Wu Fujin prefers to eat dried fruits, so I will serve a plate of crystal walnuts and a portion of pine nut candies."
Shu Shu carefully gave instructions according to everyone's preferences to prepare for the upcoming tea party with her sister-in-law.
The sisters-in-law have a good relationship with each other, but she did not show up today. Before the sisters-in-law leave the palace, they will come over to hang out.
When it was almost time, there was movement outside.
All the Fujins are here.
Shu Shu hurriedly came out to greet him.
Seeing this, Si Fujin walked a few steps quickly, took her hand, and said, "You're not a stranger, what are you doing out here? It's windy today, go back to the house quickly..."
Shu Shu did not show politeness to her sisters-in-law and directly led everyone to the west room.
There were so many people that it was inconvenient to sit on the kang and talk, so Shu Shu asked someone to set up a round table and set out refreshments.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it.
Qi Fujin smiled and said: "It is not only the emperor's grandmother's little cotton-padded jacket, but also everyone's little cotton-padded jacket!"
Shu Shu invited everyone to sit down, served tea, and then said with a smile: "This little cotton-padded jacket is worth a lot of money. The seventh sister-in-law must coax me more, otherwise it will be a leaky little cotton-padded jacket..."
One sentence made everyone laugh.
Shu Shu knew that among the sisters-in-law, the fourth one was dignified and the fifth one was taciturn. If he wanted to find out the gossip, he had to look to the seventh one.
She said: "Sister-in-law Seven, tell me, how are you today? Ningshou Palace needs an extra chair..."
Qi Fujin shook his head and said: "How come you really can't count? There are still ten, but the good concubine has moved one step) and the sensitive concubine has followed suit, and she and the concubine are at the bottom."
Shu Shu felt that she was starting to become stupid.
Shi Fujin whispered: "The concubine is so young, and the good concubine is like two generations together."
Qi Fujin also winked and said, "The good concubine has always been kind, and today she seems to treat the concubine like a spring breeze."
Shu Shu thought about everyone's position.
The good concubine is the fourth in the west, and the concubine is the fifth in the west.
These two are truly destined.
Both of them lived in Qixiang Palace before, and they both lived in Changchun Palace in the future.
The palace is full of elders, and everyone gossips and gossips.
Shu Shu looked at Si Fujin and said, "Sister-in-law Fourth, the eldest princess lives in the princess's courtyard, so do you and the fourth brother still need to go there to say hello?"
Si Fujin shook his head and said, "No need. The eldest princess is returning to the court to pay homage to the Empress Dowager. She is already preparing to go to the imperial mausoleum."
Shu Shu nodded.
No matter how old you are, you will always miss your mother.
The reason why she asked this was not because she had nothing to say, but because the eldest princess's princess courtyard was Suo'etu's former residence, less than a mile away from the prince's residence.
If Si Prince and his wife go to pay their respects, they will not be able to go there after they leave the palace.
After several Fujins left, Xiaochun came over with a stack of gift sheets.
Shu Shu's birthday is next month, which is one of the "three festivals and two birthdays". Birthday gifts from staff inside and outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to arrive one after another as early as after the Double Ninth Festival.
"These are woven by three people from Jiangnan."
Xiaochun handed it over and said, "The Cao family and the Li family are just paying it back, but the Jin family is paying 30% more this time."
Shu Shu frowned and said, "Where is Master Jiu's gift list?"
It is said that it is not strange to be polite to many people, but there is also the saying that "when you are polite to others, you must ask for something".
Xiaochun said: "There are more than the other two."
Shu Shu asked: "Since when did there start to be more?"
Xiaochun thought for a while and said: "It's a bit high during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it's not out of line, so I don't take it seriously..."
Shu Shu thought about the impression of the Hangzhou Weaving Jin family, which seemed to be full of descendants.
Is it because of the shortage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
Shu Shu told Xiao Chun: "Put away their belongings and find the list of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts. There are also two other families."
The three major weaving companies are related to each other and come in and go out together. It is unkind for the Jin family to give gifts like this.
I just thought that by giving more gifts, I could win favor from the prince. That was too beautiful to think.
Shu Shu had already reminded Brother Jiu not to interfere in the personnel affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Wood.
Hoho, it’s another day of 12,000, proud, akimbo, asking for monthly votes!
