After a while, Shu Shu became familiar with Xiao Qi. It's just that the atmosphere between siblings is not very friendly.
First, Xiao Qi insisted on sitting between Shu Shu and Jue Luo Shi, preventing Shu Shu from getting close to Jue Luo Shi. She also hugged Jue Luo Shi's arm and said, "My, my..." This was when Shu Shu shouted
"Eni", not happy anymore. Shu Shu was able to get used to his problem, so she took a box of teething sticks and ate Xiao Qi's food.
"Kachakacha". Xiao Qi was so anxious that her mouth watered and she continued to skip two words.
"My, my, don't give it, don't give it!" Shu Shu ignored Xiao Qi and thought the teething stick was delicious, so he asked Jue Luo Shi, "Um, is this the can with beef powder?" Jue Luo said. Luo Shi nodded and said: "Well, I want Xiao Qi to be weaned early." The teething sticks at home were all sent by Shu Shu, one was original and the other was added with beef powder.
It can be classified according to stages, the former is for teeth grinding, and the latter is for before and after weaning. With beef powder added, it tastes meaty.
Nowadays, it takes a long time for a wet nurse to take care of a child. If it is short, it takes two or three years for weaning, and if it is long, it takes six or seven years.
Xiaoqi is already two years old and has passed her first birthday, so she can consider weaning. Xiao Qi saw that there were fewer and fewer teething sticks in Shu Shu's hands, and her mouth curled up, tears about to come out.
Shu Shu stopped teasing him and put the carton of teething sticks into his hands: "Here you go, you're pretty good at protecting things!" Xiao Qi immediately hugged him tightly.
Climb to the corner of the kang. This shows that Shu Shu is not easy to mess with, so he hides away knowing the current situation. Jueluo Shi then glanced at Shu Shu, patted Shu Shu twice, and said: "How old is he? How old are you? Why are you teasing him?" Shu Shu snorted: "Who asked me to call E Ni just now? He wouldn't let me." Come on, teach me a little lesson! Eni, you can't favor the younger one." That means she is Guining and does not live in her natal family. Otherwise, she has to argue with Xiao Qi. Who is this? Of Nirvana.
Hey, you have to let the little guy know what it means to be in an orderly manner. Seeing her like this, Jueluo Shi shook his head, but felt quite relieved.
Since my life was going smoothly, I had the leisure to tease my younger brother. There was movement outside. It was Qi Xi who was back, and Brother Jiu was also with him.
Qi Xi was on duty in the palace today. Brother Jiu knew about it and was waiting outside Xihua Gate. Behind them were several Zhuliang brothers.
It turned out that Shu Shu sent someone over yesterday to say that he would be back at noon today, and they all took leave from school. Although Shu Shu has moved out of the palace, Guining's days are numbered.
At the end of the year, reunion is rare. Seeing Xiao Qi hiding in the corner, Zhu Liang stretched out his hand and said: "Xiao Qi, come here..." The difference between the eldest brother and the youngest brother is fifteen years, which is equivalent to two generations.
Zhuliang dotes on this younger brother very much, and Xiaoqi also relies on this eldest brother. Xiao Qi staggered over, threw herself into Zhu Liang's arms, pointed at Shu Shu, then pointed at the teething stick, and complained: "No, grab it!" Zhu Liang hurriedly held Xiao Qi's little hand and said, "That's Sister, this teething stick was given by eldest sister. It hurts Xiao Qi the most..." Xiao Qi sounded confused.
Brother Jiu saw this and touched Xiao Qi's forehead and said: "It's not bad, it's good. Your sister is the best sister. I'm helping you taste the softness and hardness of the molar stick." Xiao Qi Feeling more and more confused, he looked down at the teething stick and placed it on the kang.
That means, if my sister wants to eat, that's called eating. Shu Shu glanced at the mistress and said, "What's going on over there in Beizi's Mansion? Has the day gone by?" The mistress nodded and said, "I haven't heard of anyone else, so everything should be fine." Shu Shu looked at the mistress and the mistress again. Five said: "How is Mr. Cao's knowledge?" Xiaosi and Xiaowu nodded without hesitation: "Okay!" Shu Shu looked at the two of them and said: "Two brothers, Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao is thirty-nine, and his talent name is It has spread far and wide, but now it is from the sixth rank ceremony; Cao's bodyguard is thirty, and he was a fourth-rank second-class guard before, and now he is going to be a third-rank official. The brothers' official careers are very different, why are you here?" Xiao Wu looked at Xiang Xiaosi.
When I was four years younger and older, I also found out all the details about Cao Yueying. After thinking about it, I said: "Teacher, he is not on the right track for the imperial examination, but for the purpose of concentrating..." Therefore, Cao Yueying's future has nothing to do with it. The qualifications are a bit flimsy.
Six years ago, it was copying books and making imperial edicts, and it is still the same six years later. Shu Shu said: "Since you are studying with Mr. Cao, you should also know that Mr. Cao is not a person who lives in vain. His talent is indeed outstanding. However, because of problems in every exam, he ended up in his teens and returned to his old age. Without fame, this is a lesson learned from the past. In addition to being able to read, one must also be able to take exams..." This is exam syndrome, which is actually a disease.
At the moment, it can only be said to be bad luck. During the exam, I encountered signs of illness, such as vomiting, fever, dizziness, coma, etc.
Both Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were serious. Xiao Si said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I won't be like this. I remember what eldest sister said. For people like ours, the Eight Banners Imperial Examination is just one way out. Passing the exam is the icing on the cake. If you don't pass, just choose another way. There is no need to get into trouble." Qi The grade of tin can lead to a son entering the Imperial Academy.
There is also a shortage of guards in Prince Kang's palace, which are all readily available. Xiaowu also said: "Yes, eldest sister has already said that the first two times should be a lesson. It doesn't matter whether you are on the list or not. Once you are familiar with the process, you can prepare well for the rest." This is what Shu Shu advised Fusong last year. If so, Xiaosi and Xiaowu both remembered it.
Shu Shu felt relieved after hearing this. She was worried that Xiaosi and Xiaowu would take the imperial examination too seriously and catch Cao Yueying's problem later, and also develop exam syndrome.
Xiaowu smiled and said: "Sister, I told Ama and Enie that I will try martial arts first. I am still willing to join martial arts..." Shu Shu said: "Anything will work, it depends on what you want. ." The family had a meal, but it was not enough to reunite, as Fusong and Xiaoliu were missing.
After the meal, Zhuliang asked: "Sister, where is my cousin?" Fusong had to keep an eye on the cowpox vaccine and avoid others.
In addition to not being able to go to the Prince's Mansion, it's also hard to go back to the Dutong Mansion. I don't know how old the cowpox incident was, nor how Kangxi arranged it, so Shu Shu said half-truthfully, "I was recommended to the emperor by Master Jiu. It seems like he sent an errand. I don't want to ask more." Zhu Liang stopped asking.
In front of Jueluo Shi and Qi Xi, Shu Shu said the same thing and said, "The emperor saw that Fusong acted in an orderly manner, so he asked him to go over and do the errands. If he does a good job, he should be rewarded." Jueluo Shi reminded: "Fusong At this age, it’s enough to stay at the fourth level. It’s better to go too far.” Shu Shu said, “Don’t worry, Enie, Master Jiu knows what’s going on.” When he arrived at Qi Xi, he directly advised Brother Jiu and said, “Dutong Mansion Here, I can rest assured that the futures of Zhuliang and his brothers are almost ready. All it takes is a little help from the family. In the future, if I want to raise relatives and friends, I should first turn to my maternal family, which is the way to be filial." This was because he was afraid that Brother Jiu would always pick on people from the Yue family and make Concubine Yi feel resentful.
Brother Jiu immediately said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I know the importance. Fusong is just a coincidence. He will have to rely on himself in the future." After hearing this, Qi Xi felt relieved and said, "That's good." Earn it by yourself Yes, it is true; it all depends on relatives for guidance, and it may not always be a good thing.
Lunch lasted for more than an hour. After dinner, Shu Shu lingered, still not wanting to leave. After being urged by Jue Luo Shi, she came out with Brother Jiu.
The couple got into the carriage and left the Dutong Mansion. The couple looked at each other, and Brother Jiu said with some annoyance: "If my father-in-law had taken care of the cowpox issue, my father-in-law's title would have been promoted?" Shu Shu shook his head and said, "How could you know it's a blessing in disguise? It's good for now. "Jiu Age, a prince, can't bear the credit for the birth of Buddhas in the Wan family, let alone Qi Xi, a minister.
In recent years, Kangxi not only reduced the rights of clan princes, but also weakened the rights of noble families. Could it be that the Dong E family still wants to buck the trend?
Brother Jiu said: "But this is something you remembered when you were a child. It is reasonable to give the credit to your father-in-law." Shu Shu sighed and said: "You are generous, but I am stingy. I would rather give the credit to you than leave it to you." To Fengsheng and Akdan." Shu Shu felt that it would be difficult to choose between parents and children; but between brothers and children, there is no need to choose.
Everyone has selfish motives, I don’t know
What is the mentality of "the devil who supports his younger brother"? He will deprive his children of their benefits and give them to their brothers. But Shu Shu feels that she is a common person. Compared with her own children, her parents' children are still closer to her own children.
Brother Jiu understood what Shu Shu meant, held her hand and said, "I just feel that I have taken a big advantage, and I feel guilty when I see my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He wanted to be more filial and make up for it.
Shu Shu said: "The days are still long, and it's not a business. It's clear and clear. If you don't owe, you can't get credit." Brother Jiu said: "I owe others, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law. I feel guilty. I still remember that time. During the wedding ceremony, my mother-in-law looked at me with her eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with everything..." Before she could finish her words, Shu Shu pinched her and said, "I'm really idle, and I'm even looking into the back accounts. "At that time, I had just finished the lawsuit with me, and I was not happy about the plunder. Amma and Enie felt guilty?" She did not deny her parents' previous attitude, but she didn't want it to become a thorn in the side, so she revealed it.
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and said, "Then did you hold any grudge at that time?" Shu Shu smiled and said, "I got a shop, and with my help, I bought three properties and took such a huge advantage. , there is no grudge, just think about me..." Brother Jiu felt that he was a little drunk from eating rice wine with his father-in-law just now, and his heart was bubbling, and said: "What is good about me?" Shu Shu smiled and said: "I just thought, how can there be such a real person." It's easier to fool.
Before, I was worried that Brother Jiu would be unreasonable, but he turned out to be someone who could listen to reason. Brother Jiu couldn't help but grabbed Shu Shu's hand, took a bite, and said: "Youhu Nongye, you must have secretly laughed at me, and asked you to intercept it once, twice, and the third time. , Okay, the bad reputation belongs to me, and you have taken advantage of it. I am not too honest..."
