On this day, June 16th, the weather was fine.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu finally found time to go to Zhuangzi.
There were just two people, a husband and a wife, and about ten followers. After breakfast early, Chen Chu came out.
The carriage moved slowly, and the couple talked leisurely.
Brother Jiu said: "We have to send someone over to Yunnan, but for this journey of thousands of miles, we need someone suitable."
Baoyi's population is not good, he is too arrogant. He grew up in the imperial city and is too close to the imperial power. He is used to the power of others, and it is easy to bully people in the name of the prince's palace when he gets to the local area.
As for Shu Shu's dowry, they all come from noble families and are somewhat arrogant.
On the contrary, the Xing family has good rules and can tolerate loneliness.
"I plan to let Xing Hai take his family over there. Nian Xiyao will be there for five or six years. But the people we send there may not be for ten or eight years. Those who are too old cannot bear to travel on the road; they are too old. It’s not good to be young, it’s uncertain.”
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu naturally had no objection.
There is a government office over there. As long as you say hello to the local magistrate, you don't have to worry about the servants from the Prince's Mansion passing by and being unable to stand up and being bullied.
It would be better for people like Xing Hai who are responsible and can cause less trouble.
In two or three quarters of an hour, we arrived at Zhuangzi.
Xing Hai and Xing Hai's family are already waiting.
Shu Shu came here for the cows, so she said, "Let's take a look at the cows first. If they are useful, call someone back to buy some more."
Xing Hai said: "The tenants have used up enough. There are two cows carrying calves."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Very good. If there is a cow selling nearby, you can buy it and use the milk to make some milk food later."
This cowpox should also be a probabilistic event.
The more cattle you raise, the more likely you are to encounter various diseases.
Otherwise, what if a dozen cows are still young and strong and don’t get sick?
This cowpox cannot come out of nowhere.
Xing Hai knew that his Fujin was a foodie, so he didn't think too much about it.
After all, the first cattle brought back from outside the mouth were for eating.
His family took Shu Shu and Brother Jiu to the bullpen.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "We need a lot of cows. After hearing what you said, I will ask Huangzhuang to raise more cows and start supplying Xiaotangshan Palace next year."
The official soup spring over there was intended to entertain the vassals. Mongolian princes and envoys occupied most of it, and the supply of milk and food was indispensable.
The project in Xiaotangshan is to build a house quickly, but the remaining painting of the railings will take a lot of work.
If you want to move in, you have to go in the second half of next year.
However, in this year and a half, we can prepare what needs to be prepared.
In addition to livestock, there are also greenhouses and the like.
Shu Shu said: "The beef and milk in the palace are provided by the emperor?"
The palace's mistresses provide milk every day, and the northwest guards in the palace provide beef.
For example, Shu Shu and Jiu Age are still supplied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The daily quota includes eight cows. Each cow consumes two kilograms, which makes it sixteen kilograms a day.
Kangxi, who had the highest proportion, required fifty cows and one hundred catties.
On the Queen Mother's side are twenty-four heads, weighing forty-eight pounds.
These are all given to the waiter to prepare milk tea.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "It's not the Imperial Village. There is a cattle and sheep pen in the capital. The people who raise livestock under the Ministry of Internal Affairs are in Fengtai and deliver fresh milk to the capital every day."
While I was talking, I arrived at the cowshed.
There were a total of about ten cows divided into two rows.
Two pregnant cows were penned alone, their bellies were not obvious yet, and they looked smooth and smooth.
Xing Haidao: "Call the veterinarian to see it. It's been two months and I gave birth in the winter months."
Shu Shu's eyes focused on the belly of the cow.
It’s just that this newly pregnant cow can’t see anything.
She remained calm and looked at the other cows again.
Still didn't see anything.
If cowpox occurs, the areas covered by hair will not be obvious, but the areas without hair will be more conspicuous, such as the abdomen of cows and the underside of bulls.
Right now they all look like healthy cows.
Brother Jiu thought of the deer sent last year and said, "What about the two deer? Isn't there a female deer? If I buy two more male deer, can I have a baby deer?"
Xing Hai said: "Well, it is the time for the doe to give birth. The fawn is now nine months old and will be able to give birth in the spring of next year."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Then I'll go back and ask if there are any for sale. I'll buy two and breed them."
Xing Hai agreed.
Shu Shu looked at Xing Hai and said solemnly: "Nowadays, there are many large animals in the village, so disease prevention is very important. Not only the cattle sheds must be cleaned, but the veterinarians should also not be stingy. The diseases of these animals must also be recorded. When you have similar symptoms later, you will be able to judge for yourself.”
Xing Hai hurriedly said: "I have memorized all the diseases of livestock, chickens and ducks in the past two years, and also prepared several herbal medicines to guard against emergencies."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "That's good, be more careful and record more."
There are no sick cows at the moment, and we have to find ways to see other cows more.
The couple visited the chicken coop again.
Still quite clean.
However, chickens and ducks don’t like to lay eggs in Futian, so the egg production is less than in spring.
Shu Shu didn't say anything else.
The couple arrived at Xing Hai's yard.
Now, in addition to a family of three, they also hired a Zao Shang in his fifties and bought a teenage girl to look after the children.
Xing Hai's eldest son is now four years old and looks very well-behaved.
Shu Shu became a nirvana and became a little more patient when she saw the child. She asked Walnut to get pine nut candies for the child.
The Xing Hai family has met Shu Shu and Brother Jiu several times, and they are a little less reserved.
Brother Jiu looked at Xing Hai and said, "You are the eldest son of the family, and you should have established a family. Now that your two brothers have errands, you can't just sit around in the village all the time."
The third eldest son of the Xing family was originally the elder brother's sidekick, and there was also a brother whose sidekick was Walnut.
However, the two of them are not as good as Gao Bin. They are not good at using them, and they cannot help with the errands in the yamen and serve tea and He Yuzhu and the others.
Brother Ninth asked the two young men to serve as apprentices in the accounting room.
From now on, there will be many accounts around him, and he must arrange for someone to keep an eye on them.
Xing Hai murmured, a little ashamed, and said: "I am a slave who is incompetent, not as capable as my brothers."
Shu Shu glanced at him and knew that the couple were in love because of their looks.
I am afraid that people who are familiar with Dong E's family will see me, so I will reveal what happened in the uncle's house.
Speaking only of ability, it is not bad, otherwise this small village would not be run in an orderly manner.
She looked at Xing Hai and said: "Master Jiu is going to arrange for someone to be stationed in another place. They will be studying for five or six years. We are short of manpower. Do you want to go over and give it a try?"
Xing Hai still hesitated after hearing this.
He was the eldest son and should have been filial to his parents.
The Xing Hai family couldn't help but pull at the back of Xing Hai's clothes.
The couple can live happily ever after, but what about the children?
Those who fail one step at a time will not be able to stand up in the future.
Xing Hai looked at Shu Shu and said, "Fu Jin, I want to ask my parents..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then let's discuss it with Grandma Xing and Manager Xing. It's going to Yunnan. It takes a year to go back and forth, so after that, it will take at least five or six years to come back. Nine I have planted several tea mountains there, covering tens of thousands of acres of tea gardens, and I don’t feel at ease if there is no one to watch over them.”
When Xing Hai heard this, he didn't react yet. The Xing Hai family members were dumbfounded and even flinched.
Shu Shu glanced at Xing Hai's family and said, "If you two really go there, the child will stay in the capital and let grandma take care of it. In a few years, when the little brothers grow up, they can come in and make haha beads."
This is not because they are cruel and insist on separating family members, but because children are weak and should not travel long distances.
Three years old looks old. The Xing family's grandson is an honest child and the right age. He is the perfect candidate for Feng to give birth to Haha Pearl for the two brothers.
The Xing Hai family breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Once they arrived here, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu climbed up Baiwang Mountain.
It wasn't that hot in the morning, but the vegetation was lush now.
Shu Shu brought perfume and mint ointment to make herself and Brother Jiu smell fragrant.
Even so, I was bitten by mosquitoes several times.
The couple lost interest in climbing high and looking far, so they hurried down the mountain.
They didn't have lunch here, they just packed two baskets of eggs and went back to their brother's place.
As soon as I arrived at my brother's house, the concierge Cui Baisui came in with two posts to report.
One is a post from the governor of Guangdong, and the other is a post from the commander-in-chief of Nanchang.
Brother Jiu looked at the name and handed it to Shu Shu and said, "Is this an old relative of Dutong Mansion? What a coincidence, he also has the surname Gao."
Shu Shu took it and looked at it. One was signed by Gao Chengjue, the governor of Guangdong, and the other was signed by Shi Ruhuang, the chief military officer of Nanchang.
Shu Shu pointed to the back and said: "This is the clan brother of the Crown Princess. He is also married to the descendant of Prince Lilie. He is an old relative of the family. He went to Dutong Mansion for drinking in the early years."
The person's name in front of him is unfamiliar.
Brother Jiu was puzzled: "Even if you are an old relative, aren't you supposed to be walking around with your father-in-law? Why did you come to our door?"
Second-grade officials were considered high-ranking officials, and they were from Manchurian surnames, and they were not poor relatives who needed to curry favor with them.
Shu Shu couldn't think of the reason for a moment...
