Since Shi Fujin said this, the sisters looked at each other and couldn't make up their minds for a moment. I originally thought that there would be less time to receive gifts here in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, and we would suffer a loss on weekdays, so everyone took this opportunity to make up for the gifts, but it turned out to be an exchange again?
Shi Fujin had been in the capital for two years and knew the rules of the capital. He immediately followed San Fujin, put his arm around her and said, "Sister-in-law, don't you think so?" San Fujin smiled and patted Shi Fujin's cheek and said, " Even if you don't give it, I still have to ask. It's hard to buy a good heart with money. Isn't this a coincidence? If you want me to give up, you can't..." As she said this, she did not show politeness to everyone and only looked at Jiu. Gege said: "My aunt Jin Gui, I should have let my sister choose first, but I see that my sister is more curious about that bracelet, so I won't be polite to you." Jiu Gege said with a smile: "Third sister-in-law, you are welcome. ." San Fujin put away the brocade box.
However, Jiu Gege refused to continue choosing. He only looked at Si Fujin and Wu Fujin and said, "Let's go by age. Sisters-in-law look first." Seeing this, Si Fujin glanced at everyone and chose the golden amber necklace in the corner. .
Everyone has seen this just now, there was little discussion, it is not anyone’s favorite, it looks gentle and atmospheric. Wu Fujin took the nearby gemstone flower basket brooch inlaid with diamonds and rubies.
The gems on this one are all broken gems, which look exquisite, but the price should be ordinary. Qi Fujin smiled and said, "I can see that the sisters-in-law are asking people to pick small pieces to take, which makes it easier for those behind us." She took another brooch unceremoniously, a whole piece of sapphire the size of a pigeon egg, the color Very pure.
In the end, Shu Shu and Jiu Gege were left, and Shu Shu took the two-layered pearl necklace. At this time, the pearls that came from the West were all sea pearls. The diameter of the pearls was not very large, nor was it perfectly round, but the color was very good.
It wasn't that she cared about the pearl necklace, but she thought of another way to make money. It was Cao Yong who paid off the Taihu Cultured Pearl that lost millions of taels of silver.
It's just that there's no rush right now, it's not the time to make things happen. You can make a mental note first. Jiu Gege saw that his sisters-in-law already had them, so he accepted the seven-color gemstone bracelet.
The card table is placed in the west room, everyone
After the "treasure appraisal", it was still early before dinner, so I went over to play cards. Three Fujin, Four Fujin, Seventh Fujin and Ten Fujin came to the table, while Shu Shu, Jiu Gege and Wu Fujin sat by the kang and talked.
Shu Shu looked at Jiu Gege and said: "Sister knows that I have two silver houses and have some craftsmen. If there are any jewelry designs that I have painted, I can send them to be customized." Prince Fujin, like Shu Shu and the others, has many roles. Positions, aunt's wife, aunt's mother, housekeeper, etc., one floor of the house for the boss, and two floors of the palace, all laborious and laborious.
But Jiu Gege is a princess, so she doesn't need to be so careful, she just needs to entertain herself. Jiu Gege nodded and said: "Of course I know. The things Sister Jiu gave me are all things that are not available outside..." At this point, she thought about the purse she would prepare at the end of the year and said, "I was just about to send someone over to pack the purse at the end of the year." We also need to prepare the swords." Shu Shu said hurriedly: "It doesn't have to be like this. My sister doesn't have a silver building in her name, and the government also has one..." Jiu Gege insisted: "I want to set up the rules from the beginning, and follow the government's side. The analysis should be clearer and there is no need to mix them together." Shu Shu thought about the fate of Elundai, he was also a suicide seeker.
this
The "Nine Dragons Seizing the Heir" is a big whirlpool, and the prince who gets mixed up in it is not the worst. Even if they are enemies and rivals, they still have to take care of the royal family's dignity. Encirclement and death are the most severe punishment.
When it comes to noble ministers and slaves, there are all kinds of ways to die. The princess's mansion is clearly separated from the duke's mansion, which is not a bad thing.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then sister makes her own decision, but the shop next to it is okay, but the silver shop is commonly used. My sister has a rent-collecting shop in her name. If she has the help, she can open a silver shop and use it all year round. I can get it." Jiu Gege felt troublesome and shook his head and said: "If you don't want to bother, you'd better come to Jiu Sao's shop." Shu Shu didn't force it, just looked at Wu Fujin and said, "What's wrong with Fifth Brother's Zhuangzi?" Are you ready? Are you all ready?" It turns out that after the fifth elder brother heard that Zhuangzi in Shushu was rich in produce, he went over to take a look and fell in love with it immediately.
He borrowed Xing Hai from Shu Shu for two months. Before the Xing Hai couple went to Yunnan, they went to decorate his village in Tongzhou. Everything was done according to Baiwangshan Village, and he also bought a lot of piglets and chickens.
Counting now, half a year has passed. At this time, ordinary people's pigs are not sold in a year, and they need to be raised for at least two years.
However, the imperial family is accustomed to eating pigs weighing less than fifty pounds, which can be eaten within five months. Wu Fujin nodded and said: "It's all ready. I sent two baskets of eggs a few days ago. One basket is only the size of a pigeon egg. It's the first time it was born. The size of the back is normal..." The sisters-in-law talked about their daily routine, and there were ten people on the card table. Fujin has fired three times.
She was still very proud and said: "I have three free cards, twenty-nine thousand and five cakes. I just want to throw these five cakes!" Sanfujin said with a smile: "Okay, let's go with this. What will my brothers and sisters throw today?" , what should we pick up?" The next lap was true.
Shi Fujin had almost a handful of cannons and a box of silver beans at hand, and he lost everything. San Fujin pointed at her and said with a smile: "Today I see a boy who is giving away money. This is not playing cards, this is picking up money!" Shi Fujin said with a smile: "As long as I can make my sisters-in-law laugh, I will give away money every day." Everyone is happy." Qi Fujin pointed to the girls in the room and said: "Take it and share it. Remember to thank your God of Wealth grandma!" In one sentence, everyone laughed.
It's almost time. Everyone closed the card table and began to sit down. As Shi Fujin said, it is a Bazhen banquet, and the ingredients are all related to the Bazhen.
The main dishes are bear paws and camel humps from Shan Bazhen, followed by sea cucumbers, abalone and fish maw from Hai Bazhen, plus quail, turtle doves and colorful sparrows from Qin Bazhen, and the rest are hericium and bamboo from Cao Bazhen. Sun, morels and flowers.
There are ten dishes in total and two soups. San Fujin looked around and said: "It's really an uncommon dish, not many have tasted it." Si Fujin nodded and said: "It can be included in the eight delicacies, because the ingredients are rare, and the taste is not bad at all." Wufujin said: "Looking at how this is done, it is more in line with the taste of the people in the capital than the Yanqi Banquet." Qifuxin said: "Let's see, next year the designated banquets will all be Bazhenxi." Shu Shu looked at the bear's paw. One look, look away.
It's darkened and I don't want to eat it at all. She looked at the Zhusun soup and said, "I drank this soup once before. It was fresh. No wonder it's called Cao Bazhen." She thought of her tea mountain in Yunnan and the Xing Hai couple who used to stare at the tea mountain. Put away the dried mushrooms.
She still remembered the mushroom hot pot she had eaten in Yunnan in her previous life. There were more than a dozen kinds of mushrooms. Just thinking about the taste made her mouth water.
When Sanfujin mentioned Kuaizi, everyone started eating quietly. The bear's paws and humps in thick oily red sauce were a bit greasy for women's tastes, so only Shifujin and Qifuxin ate a lot, while others only tasted them.
The others were similar to Shu Shu, but they had a few plates of Cao Bazhen to eat, and some grilled turtle doves, fried quails and so on.
After everyone ate for half a quarter of an hour and tasted a circle of dishes, the dumplings were served. The two fillings can be seen from the outside. The green ones are leek and eggs, and the yellow ones are mutton and carrots.
Everyone drank Zhusun soup, but Kuaizi finally came with dumplings. By the time everyone put down Kuai Zi, Qi Fujin was already urging them to go pick vegetables at the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
"The main reason is to see how our big babies are doing..." Qi Fujin said.
She had heard that when Shu Shu and his wife went out, Fengsheng and Akdan were at the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
"Auspicious" is not
Not to mention "auspicious", but there is an old folk saying that an elder brother takes care of his younger brother. What if it works?
Last year, Shu Shu went to Hongluo Temple to ask for a son, and Wu Fujin went with her, and got good news. Qi Fujin felt that when Shi Fujin made some noise, she would also find an opportunity to take Fengsheng and Akdan to stay for a while!
She couldn't tell what other people's fortunes were, but she could tell that Shu Shu had good fortunes. According to the rules in the Eight Banners, Shu Shu is now
"Full-blessed people" have parents and parents-in-law at the top, and children at the bottom. No one else had any objections. Everyone walked to the next door.
But the county lord was there, so instead of going to see Fengsheng and Akdan first, everyone went to Ning'an Hall to see the county lord and Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu was not afraid of people. He was sitting on the kang holding a cloth tiger in his hand. When he saw everyone coming, he threw away the cloth tiger and crawled over quickly, looking at each one one by one without looking for Shu Shu.
Her clothes were neatly dressed, covering her small tire-like arms and legs, but her head and neck were outside, fleshy, and her eyes were flickering, looking at strange people.
Qi Fujin picked him up directly and felt his arms heavy. He shook his head and said, "How many pounds does this weigh? It can weigh two of our three pounds..." Shu Shu said, "I just weighed it a few days ago. It's twenty-two pounds." ..." This weight is already over the limit.
For an eight- or nine-month-old baby girl, eight or nine pounds to fifteen or six pounds is normal. Niguzhu needs to lose weight.
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "That's not light. We weigh three pounds and weigh twelve pounds each." San Fujin was beside him, but he didn't close his mouth for a long time.
Her eldest child, Ge Ge, is one and a half months older than Ni Gu Zhu. She only weighs ten pounds now, which is not even half of Ni Gu Zhu’s weight.
Both Sifujin and Wufujin were just born. Looking at Niguzhu's round and strong appearance, I could only feel happy.
If my brother could develop like this, thank God. Si Fujin said to Shu Shu: "I heard that my younger siblings have a booklet that lists the supplementary food for the children every month. Can you ask me to copy it later?" Shu Shu nodded and said: "Okay, it's just the fourth sister-in-law. You have to ask the imperial doctor and try again. Every child is different. Even the three of us tried." Si Fujin nodded.
Everyone went to the main courtyard again and went to the back room to see Fengsheng and Akdan. The two brothers are much more normal in stature.
Even so, everyone is happy for Shu Shu. After all, the children are premature babies born from multiple births. Now they look almost as good as single-birth babies...
