After Gao Yanzhong left, Brother Jiu came to Ning'an Hall to pick up Shu Shu. Shu Shu and Mrs. Bo are in the west, and this place is now free to make room for Da Gege.
In the past few days, Mrs. Bo has been keeping an eye on people and tidying up the place, and the window screens have been changed to light pink. The large carriage will be placed in the west room, and the nanny and wet nurse on duty will be there to accompany you.
In addition, three rooms have been set aside for wet nurses and nannies. When Shu Shu saw it, she was not very happy and said: "Why are you placed here directly? The big voice has a clear voice. How about placing it directly in the back room?" Mrs. Bo patted her and said: "You are so worthless Nirvana is really big-hearted. Who can rest assured if such a child is not kept under his nose? Wait until he is four or five years old, knows what he is good at, and can speak fluently, then he can move to the back..." Shu Shu pulled the uncle. The lady said: "But just leaving it here is too tiring. What should I do if it disturbs Ah Mou's rest?" Madam Uncle said angrily: "Don't say it's useless, just eat more milk now and wake up more often." , it will be fine after this period." Shu Shu stopped talking.
Seeing Brother Jiu coming over, Shu Shu didn't make any move. It was Brother Jiu who, looking at the empty West Room, learned the news that Da Ge Ge was moving to Ning'an Hall.
He held himself up so that he didn't lose his luster, but when he left Ning'an Hall, the corners of his mouth still drooped, and he said to Shu Shu: "Do you really want to move Da Gege over here? Otherwise... let's move to the second brother... or the eldest brother. Brother can do it..." In the back building, if you want to see your daughter raising her feet, you can go there; Ning'an Hall is, after all, the residence of the elders.
Soothing your forehead. I always felt like I was close to something, but it turned out that I forgot to mention this matter to Brother Jiu. Her memory is terrible.
Very easy to forget things. She talked about the problem of the three children disturbing each other while taking night feeds, and also talked about her previous plans.
She also didn't want Ah Mou to take care of the child. She originally wanted to put it in a side room of the main room, but Ah Mou refused. After hearing this, Ninth Brother had an unhappy look on his face. He looked at Shu Shu and said, "Were you also woken up? Why didn't you tell me?" Although the couple were settled in Dongshao Room, Ninth Brother always The first time I sleep, it's dawn.
It's quite comfortable, but there are some symptoms of restless sleep at night. Brother Jiu thought before that it was caused by lack of blood, but now it seems that it was also caused by being disturbed by the child.
Shu Shu held his hand and said: "I either woke up because I was disturbed, or I just didn't sleep well. I always wonder if it's time for night feeding, and I also wonder if the milk supply from the nanny will be enough... Brother Jiu hummed and said: "You are the smartest, why are you so stupid now? Nothing is more important than your body now. You are so worried, how can you take good care of your body? Okay, I'll call someone soon." Clean up the main house and let's go back and stay tonight, otherwise we won't be able to sleep well." Shu Shu hesitated and said, "It's not more than ten days away..." Brother Jiu insisted, "It's better to listen. Damn it! If you don't sleep well, no matter how many supplements you take, it will be useless." Shu Shu also knew this truth and no longer objected.
She did have some symptoms of neurasthenia. But when they arrived at the back building and picked up the second elder brother who was looking for Enie, Shu Shu hesitated again. Now he came here more than ten times a day and arrived in just a few steps. Moving to the main courtyard was definitely not as convenient as it is now.
When Brother Jiu saw this, he directly ordered Xiao Chun and Walnut: "Take out the main bed, put on a new tent, and move Fujin to the front at night." Xiao Chun and Walnut also knew that Shu Shu couldn't sleep well these days, so they should With a cry, he happily went out to clean up the house.
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu and saw that he was confident, so he didn't say anything. Anyway, the weather is getting warmer now, so the worst she can do is make two more trips to the back room... By the time the couple has finished their stay, the house in the front yard has been sorted out.
The three babies had just finished a round of feeding and were all asleep in the stroller. Shu Shu looked around, reluctant to leave, and returned to the main room with Brother Jiu.
After sitting on the kang, she couldn't help but look to the west. The West Room was quiet, which she wasn't used to.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu mentioned what Gao Yanzhong had just said and said: "It's not easy. He is also a son of an official family. But because the elders in the family are gone, there is no end. He has been working in the imperial kitchen for more than 20 years. If it were another yamen, it would be impossible to get ahead. The vacancies in the imperial dining room were dominated by the Wuya family, the Wei family, and the Zhang family. Their own children were not enough, so how could they allow outsiders to come forward..." Shu Shu After hearing this, I thought of something else.
If the Gao family were given the position of left leader, they would be in charge of seventy or eighty households. The future of the children of these families and the selection of women are all handled by Zuo Ling.
The Gao family became a middle-class family in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Gao Bin is eighteen years old, and marriage is about to become a hot topic. Although the character of the Gao family was not such that they would regret the marriage, since it was consensual, there was no need to hold on to the walnut for too long.
The next day, when the ninth elder brother went to the Yamen of the House of Internal Affairs, Shu Shu called Xiao Chun and Walnut and said: "Just choose the person you should choose. Don't delay any more. They are the same age as those in the House of Internal Affairs." , the candidates who are over thirteen years old will be selected according to the twelve first, and it is agreed that they will be released when they are twenty years old, and it just so happens that you can also take care of them..." Xiaochun and Walnut agreed.
Then Shu Shu looked at Walnut and said: "If Gao Bin asks you about the time of leaving the mansion again, it will be in March next year, after three small 'grabbing weeks'..." Walnut is in the same age group as her and will be nineteen next year. .
Walnut hesitated and said: "Fujin, didn't you say the year after tomorrow?" Shu Shu said: "There is no difference. It's just like coming in after getting married..." After saying that, Shu Shu looked at Xiaochun again and said: "You are two years older than Walnut." She is twenty years old. She is not young anymore. Don’t treat her like an old girl. Go out at the end of the year and pick out the candidates in the house. If there are suitable ones, Xiaoyu will be given a few options. She wants a son-in-law with an honest temper... ..." Xiao Chun didn't hesitate and said: "It's agreed that the servant will come back to work as an errand. If the main house is inconvenient at that time, the servant will take care of the young master..." When they get married, they will be the daughter-in-law. This young woman must avoid visiting the main wife.
Shu Shu listened and fell into thinking. The ones she trusted the most were naturally the little Chuns she had grown up with since childhood.
After all, Grandma Qi is getting older and sometimes has low energy. But it would be outrageous to go out to get married and then come in to work as an errand.
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "You can come back when you come back, but you don't need to wait until you get married. Don't delay the heirs. When the children can let go, come in and enlighten a few little ones..." Several girls followed her, and they also had children. I learned Mandarin, Mongolian, and Chinese.
When the child starts to speak, someone will also need to teach him how to speak. This requires someone who is patient and steady. Xiao Chun nodded.
Walnut had his own plan. He hesitated and said, "Didn't Fujin say before that there is no suitable steward? When the servant gets married, can he learn to be a steward?" Shu Shu nodded and said, "Of course, I can. Not only do I want Someone will patrol the shop on my behalf, and even Aunt Xing’s stall needs to be taken over by someone..." Aunt Xing is Mrs. Bo’s dowry girl. She is two or three years older than Mrs. Bo, and she is also in her early fifties. Now I'm in charge of the place where I go out to give gifts.
After hearing this, Walnut felt relieved. Unlike others, she couldn't really let go of her mother's side. It would take a few years for her brother to become a man and her sister-in-law to move in before she could feel at ease.
But there is no reason to reach out to your husband's family for money to supplement your mother's family. You must always have an errand and income, so that you can speak with more confidence... When the ninth elder brother came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he saw that the twelfth elder brother had a worried look on his face, and he didn't even notice that he came in.
Brother Ninth glanced at him and said, "What are you worried about? Have you become a little old man?" Brother Twelve stood up and said, "Brother Ninth..." Brother Ninth said, "We are encountering difficulties. ?" The twelfth elder brother shook his head and said: "It's not a problem, it's just that I saw my aunt when I went out yesterday and asked if there will be more people selected in the small selection palace next year..." Next year's draft, next year his fifth school will also enter Gege.
The twelfth elder brother lowered his eyes, feeling quite complicated. With the nvjuan, the prince's kitchen can be completed, and it will be convenient to prepare all kinds of food in the future; but he always feels a little awkward, as if his place is being invaded, and the house in the backyard needs to be freed up to accommodate Princess, and the one in the main courtyard must also be used. It was vacated to be given to Prince Fujin, leaving only the study room in front of him.
If given a choice, he would rather maintain the status quo. Brother Jiu couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He was very taboo about the fact that his wife was thinking about the prince's backyard, and said: "I am thinking about your backyard? How can it be so? The prince's cousin doesn't do well, so she insists on coming here to be a slave? Or is she claiming to be a cousin and wants to come in and be the master?" The second elder brother blushed and said: "Ninth elder brother misunderstood, my uncle's family does not have a beautiful girl of the right age..." The ninth elder brother snorted: "They don't have any, what about the in-laws and old relatives? These uncles from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Your eyes are looking up, thinking about your nepotism. Do you think that people treat you as a nephew, but carefully, they use you as a sign to sell favors outside..." The twelfth elder brother said sternly: "They don't dare, and neither will my younger brother. Just let it go..." Brother Ninth nodded and said: "As long as you know what's going on, it's useless if you let it go. Khan Ama won't allow it. Several concubines are also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but look at the eldest brother's backyard. Princess of the La family? There is Wuya Gege, the niece of Concubine De... The same goes for the third brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother. There is no such kind of cousin who enters the family. Why Bafujin made such a fuss the year before last is because he knew Wang Gege is a distant relative of the concubine’s mother. When the time comes, she will not be treated lightly, and it will be difficult to discipline her..." The twelfth elder brother's face turned a little red and said, "Brother knows..." He felt a little ashamed and hurried out.
He left the ninth elder brother alone and looked at the back of the twelfth elder brother thoughtfully. It is written clearly in the Huangdi Neijing,
"For men in the 28th year, if the kidney qi is strong, the sky is clear, the essence and qi are overflowing, and the yin and yang are harmonious, so they can have children." The other brothers, including him, were all given princesses when they were fifteen or sixteen.
Either the emperor's father directly gave a beautiful daughter to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the emperor's father asked the concubine to choose a person for his son. The emperor's father probably didn't think of the twelfth elder brother.
Aunt Su Ma, who raised the twelfth elder brother, was an old girl who had never been married in her life. She only thought about the twelfth elder brother's birthday, and she probably never imagined that the yin and yang could be reconciled.
Even if the biological mother of the twelfth prince had thought of it, she would not be able to speak past Aunt Suma. As a result, no one remembers whether the twelfth prince is an adult.
He also came at this age, so he naturally knows that young people are energetic. When the semen is full, it will overflow. Don't hold it back too hard, as that will hurt your body.
But as an older brother, he is too motherly to worry about his younger brother's relief...
