After a while, it was early afternoon. Even though the twelfth elder brother came back, he did not stop the ninth elder brother. He said: "Don't just check the population, don't forget to deal with the daily official documents, do it well, don't always think about going back to the elder brother's office..." The twelfth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and couldn't help but take it with him. Accusation: "What about Ninth Brother?" He stayed here from morning to night, and Ninth Brother was only half a day old. The difference was uncomfortable.
Brother Ninth rubbed his wrist and said, "I'm different from you. I'm dragging my family with me. If you don't go back, your Sister-in-law Ninth will not eat properly." Brother Twelve: "..." Why do you think Brother Ninth? Some have a tough mouth.
Ninth Sister-in-law is not that clingy Ninth Sister-in-law, but Ninth Brother is a little too clingy. Brother Jiu left the palace from Xihua Gate and ordered the carriage to travel through the imperial city.
In addition to Xi'anmen Street, there is also a row of shops on Di'anmen Inner Street, and business in both places is good. The last shop here on Di'anmen Inner Street is a pastry shop with five fronts. The storefront is old and not new, and the plaque reads:
"Guixiangzhai". In my memory, this is an old pastry shop. Brother Jiu asked someone to stop the carriage and told He Yuzhu: "Go and see what kind of pastries are available. Buy a few more and give Fujin a try..." He Yuzhu agreed and took Baoshan and Xing He in to buy some pastries. The pastry is gone.
It took only half a cup of tea for a few of them to come out carrying large and small bags.
"Sir, they have dozens of kinds of fruits. I asked them to pick out twelve packs of the good ones. There are also some candies and small dishes. I also asked others to pack them..." He Yuzhu said.
Brother Jiu nodded. In just half a cup of tea, several waves of customers came in, all of whom came in with empty hands and came out with full hands.
This is another prosperous shop. The location is good, and with the sweet smell of the baked dumplings here, anyone passing by will probably take a second look.
How much rent does this shop pay to the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Isn't it also forty-eight taels? Brother Jiu put down the curtains and planned to check it out tomorrow.
The carriage left Di'anmen and arrived at the Prince's Mansion soon. Brother Jiu looked at the yellow sand at the door, which was a bit annoying.
That's all for now. It's not the rainy season yet. If it is the rainy season, the road will be muddy. But in spring and autumn, the dust is also annoying.
He had not cared about this before. He had to think of a way to make the road cleaner and not too busy. Although Shu Shu moved to the main courtyard, she was not used to being in the main house, and she also missed the children.
When Brother Jiu went to the Yamen, she went to the back room. Madam Bo has arrived and is asking people to pack up the big things.
Seeing this, Shu Shu couldn't help but hesitate and said, "How about we move at the end of the month?" Mrs. Bo glanced at her, thought about it, and said, "Then at the end of the month, it will save you the trouble." She was afraid that Shu Shu would still have to move by then. I have to run to Ning'an Hall, I'm tired.
Shu Shu hugged Mrs. Bo's arm, looked at the three rickshaws, and said, "I wish they would grow up when they see the wind, and they are afraid of being naughty, so they might as well be well-behaved now." Mrs. Bo said, "Don't worry, teach them well. Children will not be crooked when they grow up; if they are naughty, then they will follow Ama and Enie, but you are not allowed to dislike the child because of such pickiness..." Shu Shu thought of his childhood and said: "Then follow Master Jiu, when I was a child How good are you?" Mrs. Bo snorted: "Have you forgotten that time Enie beat you?" Shu Shu couldn't help complaining: "Enie is too cruel, just slap it twice with the hand, what else? Feather duster..." She was only five and a half years old at that time, and it was the time when her little mouth started to talk.
In addition to Fu Song and Zhu Liang, twin brothers have just been added to the family. At that time, I had no memory of my previous life. I was really like a child, a little silly and cute, and I had to ask my parents some questions, such as where the child came from.
After all, there were only two younger brothers before, but after living in the uncle's house for a few days, there were two more. The adults couldn't answer it at that time, so they just said they picked it up, and Shu Shu believed it.
When she went to visit Nala's house in the back street, she told Mrs. Nala about her family's
"Pick up kids." He also said that he didn't pick up any good ones, but those who picked them up were all skinny children, twitchy and unsightly, which made the girls from Nala's family very amused.
He also said that Fu Song and Zhu Liang also picked it up from the smelly ditch at the door. When the adults heard this, they just smiled knowingly. They also teased their children in this way.
But the kid took it seriously. When he saw Fu Song and Zhu Liang, he stopped them and asked them if they knew they had picked them up.
Fusong was one year younger than Shushu. Although he was raised here, he still knew that he still had Ama, so he cried aggrievedly.
Zhuliang was two years younger than Shushu, so she was attracted by the lake. She really thought she was picked up from the smelly ditch at the door, and rolled around in it, saying that she wanted to find a kiss for Amma, a kiss for Nirvana... It made a fuss. God.
Mrs. Nala sent Shu Shu out and felt very guilty to ask Luo Shi to accompany her. After the guests left, Shu Shu learned how to use the feather duster correctly.
Although more than ten years had passed, Shu Shu still felt some pain in her arm. She rubbed her arms and hummed softly: "Everything else is okay, but this is not good. How can I beat the child? I was young at that time, so I should be more reasonable..." Mrs. Bo looked at her and said: "Okay, remember what you said, don't think about taking action later, be patient." Shu Shu stopped talking.
She was a little unsure of herself. Although her zodiac sign is Pig, her temperament is like that of Monkey, a little impatient.
After coming out of the back room, Shu Shu went to the study. They are all a bit strange. She sat behind her desk, took a new notebook, and started writing a parenting diary.
Time passes both quickly and slowly. I felt miserable before I couldn't take a shower, and I felt gloomy. Days seemed like years.
In addition to the physical discomfort, there is also a dislike for myself in my heart. But after I was able to take a bath, my mood changed. After seeing a few more children, I felt that they were growing up faster.
In nine days, it will be two months. Tomorrow is April 20th, the day when Prince Fujin enters the palace to pay his respects.
But right now, it seems that only Sanfujin, Qifuxin and Tenfujin can go. She put down her pen and really wanted to enter the palace.
It was neither a year nor a festival, and there were no other social activities. Apart from going to the palace to pay respects, there was no chance to go out.
Enter the palace at the end of the month to pay your respects, and then wait until the first or second day of the next month to go back to your parents’ home to give gifts.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it will be time for the Holy Driver to accompany the Queen Mother to Changchun Garden, and they can follow. Shu Shu felt that she was holding back so much that she wished she could stay out for half a year and then come back.
Brother Ninth is back, followed by He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, both of whom are packed with bags. Looking at the packaging outside, Shu Shu knew it was not from his own shop.
In addition to oil paper, their shop also puts a piece of red paper, which looks very festive.
"The pastry shop in the Imperial City is located on Di'anmen Inner Street. It has been there for many years. I remember loving their peach cakes when I was a child..." Brother Jiu said.
He was a young prince at that time, so naturally he had no chance to leave the palace, so Grandma Liu brought him in.
"At that time, there was no pastry in the food, and I loved eating it. Fortunately, I like to be clean. I rinsed my mouth and brushed my teeth every time I ate. Otherwise, my teeth would have rotted..." Brother Jiu also remembered what he said when he was a child.
Shu Shu glanced at him and saw that it was unusual for him to mention Nanny Liu, and it was obvious that he didn't take Nanny Liu to heart.
She said: "Whose business is this? Our business is on the street outside Di'anmen. Is there a collision with the business?" Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's okay. There are many pastry shops. Two or three on one street are common. ..." After all, a full table means a table full of cakes.
In addition to daily eating and drinking, various weddings and weddings, ancestor worship and so on, are inseparable from the cake banquet. Brother Jiu remembered what happened at Yuqing Palace, glanced at the walnuts at the door, and waved his hand to send her away.
Then, he lowered his voice and talked about the Li family's entry into the Sentence Department, and also about the Li family's large bribes to Ling Pu and his wife.
"The Crown Princess is a smart person. She should know what is going on. She is also pitiful. If she is born, she is older than eighteen..." The ninth prince lamented: "Khan Ama looks forward to the grandson of the emperor so much, I'm afraid it's... There can't be any legitimate ones. Yuqing Palace has designated candidates for next year's draft, but I don't know which family Khan Ama will select from." Shu Shu listened and became more and more alert.
All three of my children are breast-protected. So Aunt He was able to be chosen by Kangxi as the wet nurse of the Crown Prince. She must have done her best in the early days when the Crown Prince stopped breastfeeding and stayed in Yuqing Palace.
The prince also valued the wet nurse, so he allowed her to take charge of the internal affairs of Yuqing Palace. This is how the human heart is raised.
Brother Jiu said with gloating, "The prince is so funny. If he really wants to clean up the Li family, he can't send it to the Shenxing Department..." Sending it to the Shenxing Department is the same as spreading it directly in front of the Qianqing Palace. What's the difference?
Brother Jiu said and gave his own explanation: "I guess I didn't think of this incident. The princess will not complain, but Khan Ama will also know about it. There is still Zhao Chang in the palace..." Shu Shu said: "Even if we don't expose it, the Crown Princess is embarrassed enough." Things about the difficulties of the Crown Princess's heirs have been spread outside, and the nobles of the Eight Banners are all aware of it.
For an ordinary family, with the support of the mother's family, being childless would be nothing. But the royal family, the Crown Princess Wuzi's confidence is somewhat lacking.
That is to say, there are currently few female concubines in Yuqing Palace who have not been mentioned. If there is a prince concubine or a prince noble, it is hard to say what will happen to the prince concubine in the future.
Brother Ninth said: "You have to think about it by yourself, like the imperial grandmother, isn't it good..." After a while, lunch was served, and a plate of pastries was also put on it.
Today's top-quality pastries are rich in oil and sugar, so the pastry shops in the capital are classified as
In "Sugar Cookie Row". This plate of pastry is no exception, most of them are filled with pastry. There is also a type of dough that is specially used to set up banquets for sacrifices. The dough is baked without deformation, is bright in color, and is durable in storage.
It’s similar to the pastries sold in the market outside, but not as exquisite as Baiweizhai’s. In addition to the common hard dough dumplings and pastry dumplings, Baiweizhai's dumplings also include soft dough dumplings, cream dumplings, etc.
Shu Shu tasted two pieces and then put them down, saying: "No wonder business is good, I'm willing to put sugar in..." It's not to their taste, but for ordinary people, it should be to their liking...
