The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother did not go to the door of Babeizi's house, and the eighth elder brother did not come over either.
The carriage in front moved.
Brother Jiu helped Shu Shu get on the carriage and said, "This is great, but if we have to pile them together, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Shu Shu said: "It's enough to get by on the face of it."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Even Khan Ama still thinks that we are one family, but when he opened his house, the family was also separated."
Everyone is no longer stirring in the same pot, and they all have their own selfish motives. They want to save a family fortune not only for themselves, but also for their children.
Thinking like this, the ninth elder brother became worried again and said: "In the future, we have to ask people to find out who is selling the house in the border area with Huangqi. We will buy it. Zhenghuangqi is also fine. In the future, the second elder brother will separate the house." , don’t be too far away, there is also a large dowry house, it is best to have a yellow flag..."
Shu Shu was speechless, it was too early to start thinking.
The Eight Banners has an old custom of dividing families into Ding and Ding families, but they can also be divided into different families. Common people's families are like that. Over the years, the nobility and clan have become Chinese and have begun to pay attention to "parents are present, no family separation."
The younger generations of Prince Yu's Palace and Prince Gong's Palace have gotten married several times and have been awarded titles, but they have not separated their families.
Brother Jiu said: "Didn't you say before that you would save money for them? I've thought about it. It's not good to leave money in vain. If we keep squandering it, we will be conspicuous if we do too much business. If we look back and see which shop is not doing well, we can directly change it. A bank."
They had a bank in their name before, which was the prince's property that was divided early last year.
"When I looked at my accounts at the end of last year, I saw that the bank charges less, so I don't have to worry about making money..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu reminded: "When it comes to money, it is most likely to be corrupted. This needs to be watched carefully. If you really want to deceive others, it will be my reputation that will be ruined later."
If a good bank turns into a loan shark, it would be committing a sin.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "I will tell you to go ahead and not allow private loans. We will only deal with merchants. If you want to borrow money, you can directly use the house deed and land deed of the shop. The interest will not exceed three cents..."
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu and knew that this was killing two birds with one stone.
First, there is no need to hold down money, and money can make money; second, having experienced the matter of buying a property the year before last, Brother Ninth also learned a lesson, and he knows that shops in the inner city are valuable and hard to come by.
Allowing merchants to obtain mortgage loans is also a matter of waiting and waiting.
When word of mouth spreads, people who are in need of money will first think of Jiu Age's bank.
The couple entered Di'anmen while chatting about their daily routine.
When they arrived at Shenwumen, the carriage stopped.
Brother Jiu got off the carriage and helped Shu Shu down.
Later, Shifujin's carriage also arrived.
The eight Fujins in front had already got off the carriage and stood there without moving.
Shu Shu said goodbye to Brother Jiu, called for Shi Fujin to follow, and the two of them stepped forward together.
When the sisters-in-law met, they entered the Shenwu Sect together.
The Tenth Fortune Jin went directly to Ningshou Palace, but Shu Shu and the Eighth Fortune Jin had to go to the West Sixth Palace to pay their respects to their mother-in-law first.
Shi Fujin glanced at Shu Shu and saw her gentle and calm look, so he took the people to the east.
Ba Fujin and Shu Shu walked side by side. When they arrived at the right gate of Guangsheng, Shu Shu stopped walking: "Eighth sister-in-law goes first, I'll wait for fifth sister-in-law..."
】
Wu Fujin sent someone to the Prince's Mansion a few days ago to ask about the time when Shu Shu would enter the palace to pay his respects, and wanted to come in on the same day.
It had been several months since Wufujin found out she was pregnant, so she didn't have to pay her respects in the palace.
This is just to take advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager did not go to Changchun Garden to pay her respects, so as to avoid the even more inconvenience of having her elders live in Haidian.
Now I am five and a half months pregnant, I am already stable and not so clumsy.
That's why Shu Shu thought of waiting for someone here.
Ba Fujin glanced at her ruffles and clothes, nodded slightly, and helped the girl step over the threshold.
Shu Shu also looked at Ba Fujin's head. There was no hairpin, just an ordinary braided hair with ruby flowers on it.
It looks similar to the makeup she wore the year before, but it's a bit awkward.
When Wu Fujin came over and saw Wu Fujin's makeup clearly, Shu Shu understood why Ba Fujin looked awkward.
The year before last, Yifei had only started to use tin heads, and few others had done so.
Even if other concubines want to learn from it, they must take into account Concubine Yi's wishes.
Last year, Concubine Yi rewarded Shu Shu and Wu Fu Jin's hairpins, and her sister-in-law used them. Other princes Fujin also started to use them, and the lower-ranking concubines in the palace also started to use them.
Nowadays, there are many people with haircuts, and Bafujin’s hairstyle seems not very fashionable.
It shouldn't be...
Didn’t Bafujin enter the palace to pay his respects on April 20th?
Later there was another April 25th...
If you want to ask someone to prepare new jewelry, we have already prepared it.
A woman should have a look that pleases herself, and a woman should have a look that pleases herself.
On the contrary, Bafujin's temperament is really calm, and he doesn't even pay much attention to the clothes he cares about most.
"Fifth sister-in-law..."
Shu Shu took a few steps forward and shook hands with Wu Fujin.
The last time the husband and wife met was just after Shu Shu gave birth.
At this moment, I haven’t seen him for two months.
After taking it, Shu Shu found that the palms of Wu Fujin's hands were warm, and looking at Wu Fujin's forehead, there was also a thin layer of sweat.
Body heat in pregnant women.
Shu Shu glanced at Wu Fujin's belly and said, "There are still four months to give birth. It's going to get hotter now. Why don't Sister-in-law Wu live in the garden?"
Staying here for two months is just enough to avoid the hottest period.
Wu Fujin felt ashamed and whispered: "I always want to change my clothes, and I can't bear to move my body. It's better to be at home."
Shu Shu stopped trying.
If I really wanted to live in my elder brother's place, I would have to pay respects to the Queen Mother, and I would also have to deal with these sisters-in-law who live next to each other.
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "It should be okay to use ice now. Even in the capital, it is more convenient to use ice..."
There are many ice cellars in the capital, not only those run by government officials, but also those owned by outside merchants. It is convenient to have more or less ice cellars.
By the time Wufujin gave birth, it was around the Mid-Autumn Festival and it was already cool.
The time for confinement is a good time for both husband and wife to avoid the heat.
When they arrived at the right gate of Guangsheng, Shu Shu helped Wufu Jin and his wife entered the West Sixth Palace.
After a while, after entering the Yikun Gate, Peilan was coming out of the main hall and walked forward quickly to help Wufujin on the other side.
Wu Fujin chuckled and said, "No need, just be safe."
Only then did Peilan put down his hand and welcomed the two of them in.
Concubine Yi had already dressed and was sitting on the Kang in the East Room, eating black sesame balls.
Seeing her two daughters-in-law coming in, she put down the remaining half of the black sesame pills and said, "Don't say hello, just sit down..."
Shu Shu watched Wu Fujin act, Wu Fujin didn't insist on saying goodbye, and stood up with a slight blessing.
It was inconvenient for Wu Fujin to have a bloated stomach, but there was nothing inconvenient for Shu Shu. She just bowed normally, then supported Wu Fujin, and the couple sat on the prepared chairs.
Yifei looked directly at Shu Shu's face, which was partly due to loss of blood and partly due to confinement, and her skin was as white as snow.
In addition, with this pink hair flower, pink clothes on her body, and her slender figure, she looks like a delicate little girl.
Concubine Yi nodded and said: "This dress matches well. If you are as old as a flower, you should wear something pink and tender."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "When I was 12 or 3 years old, my family made me pink clothes and I didn't wear them because I thought they looked too small. Now I like to wear them and pretend to be young."
Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing when she heard this and said, "Others thought you were twenty-eight or thirty-eight when they heard this..."
But for women, Dang Ani is different. Her childishness has faded a lot, her clothes are delicate, but she looks much calmer.
Concubine Yi looked at Wufujin again, took a look at it, and said, "It's just the right time now. You don't have to raise a baby too plump. The child will suffer when he is born."
Wufu Jin nodded and said: "I am still greedy after my morning sickness has stopped. I want to eat everything all day long. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I sent two volumes of recipes. They are suitable for pregnant women. They can warm and nourish the body without making you fat."
Shu Shu said: "It's all as it should be. I've eaten a lot of good things from Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law in the past six months."
Seeing the affectionate love between the two sisters, Yifei felt a little happy.
Brothers from the same mother are different after all, which is good.
But after becoming two families, whether they can be close for a long time depends on the love between the sisters.
By the time her grandchildren were born, she had closed her eyes and stopped worrying.
Yifei pointed to the black sesame pills on the kang table and said: "This is the black sesame pill newly made by the Imperial Pharmacy. Apart from the nine-steamed and nine-dried black sesame, it is just honey and nothing else. It can nourish the liver, kidneys and hair." , I asked the imperial doctor, it can be taken before and after childbirth. You will each take a box back and taste it later. When you are ready, ask Lao Wu and Lao Ninth to go to the imperial pharmacy to get it..."
Wu Fujin's face turned a little red and said: "I have been experiencing symptoms of yang knot recently. The imperial doctor ordered me to use honey. This is just right."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi felt uneasy and told her, "Although black sesame seeds are mild in nature, you still have to ask the imperial doctor before eating them."
Wufujin responded respectfully.
Concubine Yi looked at Shu Shu again.
Shu Shu couldn't help but touched her temples and said, "Your Majesty is really a savior. My daughter-in-law is worried about this dead grass."
This is also a strange rule among the Manchus. Except for national mourning and to observe filial piety to parents and husbands, women are not allowed to cut off their hair.
Especially the royal family, they have to be more careful in their actions. If you want to have dry hair, you will be suspected of cursing the emperor.
Even if Shu Shu feels uncomfortable, she will not let herself take the risk.
Yi Fei said: "You never like to use hair oil. It's refreshing and refreshing, but it also loses maintenance. There are also some hair care prescriptions in Taiyuan Hospital. Later, you can ask Lao Jiu to change them for you. External application should be followed by internal use. This is how you can take good care of your hair.”
Shu Shu nodded, and then said: "When we get out of Fu, ask someone to get some non-greasy hair oil..."
Concubine Yi knew that she owned a rouge shop and asked, "Have you figured out anything good again?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I asked your Majesty, and there are indeed some. One set is a face cream and hand cream without smell, and one set is a face cream and hand cream that can be used by children. I will pay my respects to your Majesty next time and bring a copy. Empress."
Yi Fei didn't need to think about it, but she also knew that the tasteless face cream and hand cream were prepared for Brother Jiu, not to mention children.
This daughter-in-law really has no choice. Before she had no children, she put Lao Jiu first in everything; now that she has children, Lao Jiu has not been left behind.
She smiled and said: "I want two copies. I'll borrow flowers to offer to Buddha later..."
