The siblings haven't seen each other for a long time. Since they are coming over, they must leave some food.
Shu Shu thought of Xiao Liu.
In the afternoon, the young brothers practice riding and shooting at the racecourse. get out of class usually ends before Youchu.
She then told Zhou Song: "Go to the school grounds to see Brother Fifteen and tell him to ask Xiao Liu to come here after class and send him back in the evening."
Zhou Song agreed and went to the school grounds.
Xiao San hasn’t seen Xiao Liu for a while. We only saw him during the Dragon Boat Festival.
"Sister, is this convenient?" the mistress asked.
Shu Shu said: "I've never taken it. It's okay once in a while."
Xiao Liu is not allowed to have special privileges in the companion reading center, but siblings are siblings, and they will not really be incommunicado.
She can take care of her brother-in-law, but instead ignores her younger brother. What's wrong with that?
Xiaosan nodded and said, "That's good."
After the siblings said the important words, they went to the backyard to see Mrs. Bo.
Mrs. Bo looked at Xiaosan carefully and said, "This is my uncle and nephew. No wonder he looks familiar to Fengsheng. He looks more like Xiaosan when he was a child."
The last time the mistress saw three baby bumps, it was when the children were just born.
Now the three children woke up and were carried to the north room.
The mistress' eyes are not enough.
He looked at Fengsheng, held his nephew's little hand, and said, "I see that the nose looks more like the second brother, and the corners of the eyes look like the eldest sister."
The uncle said: "They are all alike. Your first few children are more like you, Ani, and Xiaowu and Xiaoliu are more like your Amma..."
When the mistress saw that Akdan was smaller than her brother and sister, she couldn't help but feel distressed and said, "Ah Mou, can't we have a nanny? Will eating more make up for it?"
This is also the second son.
What is the second son?
Not the heir.
But there is still a need to exist.
Because, just in case, if the eldest son cannot stand, the second son will be pushed up.
When nothing happens, you have to be on guard.
The uncle said: "You have to tailor your food to suit your needs. Akdan's appetite is bigger than before. Compared with himself, he cannot compare with his brother and sister."
The mistress couldn't help but touch Ni Guzhu's chubby arm. Why would the niece feel pain in the future?
Like my brother-in-law, I wanted to laugh a little.
He laughed, touched Ni Guzhu's little foot, and was kicked.
He didn't feel any pain, but he was worried that Ni Guzhu was stretching, so he took a quick look at Ni Guzhu's calf.
Mrs. Bo smiled and said, "I'm playing with you. I just like to kick my legs and can't stretch them."
Ni Guzhu grinned and kicked him twice more.
The mistress saw her and saw that everything was fine, so she felt relieved.
He thought of what his parents had said at home, worrying that the two elder brothers above him were weak.
He couldn't help but glance at Shu Shu and asked curiously: "Sister, will you have three nephews in the future?"
Shu Shu patted him and said, "You are so young, why do you worry about this?"
Xiao San smiled and said: "It is said outside that the Prince's Mansion has many pots of Guanyin Bamboo."
Soothing your forehead.
The bamboos in the greenhouse last year were all alive, and later they grew bamboo shoots and were divided into pots.
When Erhe, Zhang Tingzhan and Fuqing's family moved to Houtoubiyuan, Shushu and Jiu Age gave them bamboo as a housewarming gift.
When word spread, it turned out that there was a room full of Guanyin Bamboo in the Prince's Mansion.
As a result, more people sympathized with Prince Zhuang's Mansion and Prince Xinjun's Mansion, feeling that they were overbearing and inconsiderate of their relatives.
Shu Shu looked at the mistress and said, "Do you believe this?"
Xiao San hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "If this was serious, there would have been some movement in Prince Zhuang's Mansion."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "It's good to know this truth. Young couples don't borrow the power of gods and Buddhas to have children. After they have faith, they relax and no longer seek medical advice. They just let the fate come. "
Mrs. Bo was listening and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay, it's too early to tell the mistress now. You can tell the mistress's wife later."
Shu Shu stopped talking and asked Xiaosan: "How is Xiaosi's homework going? What will happen next year?"
The twins are currently studying at the Zhenghongqi Banner School, but the mistress has a title and can directly fill the position of flag officer without having to prepare for the Eight Banners imperial examination.
Xiao Si also has to prepare for the Eight Banners Imperial Examination, or the Six-Part Bi Tie-style test when the time comes.
Xiao San thought for a while and said: "It's the same as before. I'm learning steadily and not being impetuous. I'm afraid that Xiao Wu will surpass me and I won't be able to improve my appearance."
Among the Dong E brothers, only Xiaosi and Xiaowu took the imperial examination.
Xiao Si is smart, and Xiao Wu is not bad either.
Shu Shu listened and breathed a sigh of relief.
The more you have this kind of spirit, the better.
With Fusong here, those who have taken the exam can touch the edge of the Eight Banners imperial examination, and the fourth and fifth graders do not need to be blind to touch the elephant.
While the siblings were talking, there was movement outside.
It's Xiao Liu here.
"Amu, eldest sister, third brother..."
Xiaoliu came in wheezing and gave the three of them a thousand blows.
He still has a dark face, a smile with white teeth, and is half a head taller than when he was a reading companion last year. He also has some stretch marks on his body, and the bun face he had before has also elongated.
He still loves to talk and laugh, always smiling when he sees people.
Seeing that his head was covered with sweat, Mrs. Bo quickly asked someone to bring him a towel to wipe his face and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's such a bright sun..."
Xiao Liu smiled and said: "I miss Ah Mou, and I also miss my eldest sister and third brother..."
The mistress grabbed his arm, pressed it, and said, "How many arrows have been shot, and it's stiff to the touch?"
Xiaoliu grinned and said, "Not much. I used a second-strength bow. It doesn't take much effort. It's just a matter of practice."
The mistress rubbed his shoulders, rubbed his stiff upper arms away, then put them down, and coldly snorted: "What did Ama tell you? Talk to Ama later."
Xiao Liu immediately felt guilty and looked at Shu Shu for help, saying, "I remember that my eldest sister practiced like this back then..."
Shu Shu glanced at him and said: "When you remember, I was thirteen or fourteen. I had grown up in stature and laid a solid foundation. You are laying the foundation now. Can it be the same?"
Xiaoliu immediately became honest and said, "Brother, practice less in the future."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Listen to Master Wu and proceed step by step. There is no need to be diligent at this time. Diligence can make up for your weakness. This is not the case. If you use too much force at this time, it will only encourage the growth of the seedlings, which may not be a good thing."
Xiao Liu smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone is diligent and practices more in private, and my younger brother follows suit."
Shu Shu said: "Are they the older reading companions? They are different in age here."
The same group of reading companions was also divided into two waves, one was two or three years older than the prince's elder brother, and also did errands around the prince, and the other was about the same age as the prince, acting as playmates.
The prince's accompanying reading can be regarded as an errand in advance.
It makes a difference after all, being two or three years older.
These two brothers are guests but not guests. To prepare dinner, you need to prepare something for them to talk to each other.
Shu Shu asked them what they wanted to eat.
The mistress is not picky about food and said: "Anything is fine."
Shu Shu remembered that he loved to eat sesame seed cakes, so he told Xiaotang: "Make sesame roasting, in addition to the braised pork in the middle, grill two pieces of pork belly and eat it..."
When he arrived at Xiaoliu's place, he was tired of eating the regular dishes read by the prince all day long, so he said: "Sister, if you want to eat mutton, chicken, duck or fish are fine, forget about pork!"
There happened to be three ducks here, so Shu Shu ordered Xiaotang: "Brush them with honey, bake them, roll them into pancakes and eat them. After roasting, separate the duck rack in the middle, fry them and make a cumin duck rack, and then make another duck rack." Dry pot duck offal…”
It is not easy to send things to the companion reading center on weekdays. Today Xiaoliu came over and it was just right to take some things back.
Shu Shu then ordered Xiaotang: "Bake some more pork breasts and salt-baked eggs, and bring them back to Xiao Liu later."
After hearing this, Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "Sister, make an extra portion for Master Fifteen..."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I have two copies? Give one to Master Sixteen as well..."
As he said that, he shook his head again and said: "Forget it, I can't give it to you, there are other brothers, so I won't give it to you, just give it to Master Fifteen."
Shu Shu touched his little forehead and praised: "Yes, I know that we are far away from each other. You are the fifteenth brother's companion. You need to distinguish between far and near, and you don't have to be friends everywhere."
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "My younger brother knows that he is the fifteenth master's companion, and he will have to work for the fifteenth master in the future. If he gets close to others, it would be disloyal."
Shu Shu thought for a while, but did not deny this statement, and said: "It's still the same sentence, whoever serves the bowl is in charge. You are serving the job of the fifteenth elder brother, but now the fifteenth elder brother is still young, so this The rice was given by the Emperor, so you should also express your gratitude to the Emperor for his kindness."
Xiao Liu nodded and said: "Don't worry, my brother is a sensible person. No one can go beyond the emperor."
With Xiaoliu alone, the room became lively.
Ni Guzhu followed and joined in the fun, stretching out his arms to reach people.
Xiaoliu picked her up steadily, but her face turned red from holding back.
The mistress was worried and hurriedly picked the person up.
Ni Guzhu was not honest when she was in the mistress's arms, kicking her feet down as hard as she could.
The mistress couldn't help baring her teeth.
Ni Guzhu smiled even more cheerfully.
Shu Shu was holding a mouth towel and wiping it for her. Seeing her little appearance, he couldn't help but smile and asked his uncle, "Ah Mou, was I also crazy when I was a child?"
The memories of infants and young children cannot be recalled.
All she could think of were memories from when she was three or four years old.
Mrs. Bo smiled and said: "I am following your Eni. When I was a child, you were more happy than Ni Guzhu. Your Amma kept saying that you were the future female Baturu all day long, and you were so angry that Eni wanted to hit someone... …”
Shu Shu couldn't stop laughing and said: "Just do as I wish. I hope Ni Guzhu is Batulu and won't be bullied in the future. If things don't go well, just start directly and don't be sulky..."
She is the daughter of a distinguished noble, and she is married to a royal family, so she cannot let her temper run wild.
When I arrived at Niguzhu, it was Huangsun Gege.
When she was knighted, Kangxi was still on the throne. As the granddaughter of the emperor, she could be granted the title of princess.
It's not a bad thing to be tougher and stronger when the time comes.
Brother Jiu came back early today, and Shen Chu came back shortly after.
I heard Shu Shu talking about it yesterday and knew that my third brother-in-law was coming, so I came out of the Yamen in advance.
However, he also brought bad news.
"There is a mourning in Sunubeizi's house. The seventh prince's wife died at the birth gate. She disappeared in the first noon today..."
This seventh prince's wife is none other than Shu Shu's nominal concubine, Peng Chun's illegitimate daughter Dong E.
Shu Shu couldn't help being stunned after hearing this.
This "concubine" was born in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, four years older than her, and only twenty-two this year...
