After eating, the thirteenth brother and the fourteenth brother talked about business. There will be three more little tails tomorrow.
Brother Ninth glanced at Brother Fourteen and said, "You are patient and willing to take care of your children?"
Earlier, the fourteenth elder brother was not happy to look at his younger brother. He liked to drag the thirteenth elder brother and run behind the eighth elder brother and the others.
The fourteenth elder brother puffed out his chest and said: "Who calls me the elder brother? Xiao Fifteen and Xiao Sixteen are both from Yonghe Palace..."
Especially the sixteenth elder brother, who is the adopted son of Concubine De, and can also be regarded as his half-brother.
As for the grandson of Narsu, it was just incidental.
He glanced at Brother Thirteen, a little amused, and said: "Brother Thirteen, you and Nersu live next to each other, have you gotten close to each other? We see you on weekdays, Brother Thirteen is so worried. , even asked about food and clothing..."
Brother Thirteen said patiently: "He is different from us. If we don't ask a few more questions, others will be indifferent."
The Fourteenth Brother also knew this truth, and he felt quite pitiful when he looked at Nersu, but he still emphasized to the Thirteenth Brother: "Anyway, Thirteenth Brother, don't forget the distance. We grew up together, and everyone else has to Behind me."
"Uh-huh……"
Brother Thirteen nodded.
Although the fourteenth elder brother has various minor problems, the two brothers have lived together in Zhaoxiang since childhood, and their relationship is indeed closer than other brothers.
The ninth elder brother praised the thirteenth elder brother and said: "It's very good. Keep an eye on me nearby. The ancestors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have high visions. Even the clan kings cannot control them in their eyes, and they will get into trouble if they don't even think about it." Because of the intention of neglecting and blackmailing, in that case, it would be a scandal..."
With that said, he said to the Fourteenth Brother: "This year Thirteenth will go to the study, and Nersu will ask you, the Fourteenth Uncle, to take care of you. The emperor's grandchildren are young, and there are many pearls around them. If there are If you foolishly encourage your master to bully Narsu, then you will not need the honor of the royal family, and Khan Amma will be annoyed!"
After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother immediately acted as if he would rather me than me and said: "Ninth brother, don't worry, my brother can't take charge of the rest of the place. Can someone else pass me by in the study?"
The thirteenth brother went out to the study, and he was the oldest.
Hearing what he said, the ninth elder brother felt uneasy, not because he was worried that he could not protect Nersu, but because he thought that the third elder brother of Yuqing Palace would also enter the palace on the sixth day.
He was afraid that the fourteenth elder brother would go on a rampage and confront the three elder brothers from Yuqing Palace.
Just Akedun and Hongxi, that third elder brother was raised by the princess, so there is no need to offend him if he doesn't make friends with them.
He said: "Although you are the oldest and have the highest seniority, you can't care too much about the younger ones. Otherwise, what does Khan Ama think? Unless you bully Narsu or the fifteenth or sixteenth elder brother. Otherwise, even if you find something inappropriate about these emperors and grandchildren, you don’t have to come forward to avoid offending your sisters-in-law."
The fourteenth elder brother smiled and said: "Ninth brother, don't worry, I won't take offense at that. They are all the emperor's grandsons, let them toss themselves."
Even Honghui has no intention of taking care of it as long as nothing serious happens.
They are all the same nephews. Isn’t it thankless to have to distinguish them?
The two elder brothers left, and the ninth elder brother returned to the main room.
Shu Shu had just finished eating and didn't ask to prepare anything else. Sheep tripe soup with sesame paste pancakes and two side dishes.
Brother Jiu came in and said, "I won't come back to eat tomorrow. There are too many people and it will be a mess."
Shu Shu said: "Brother Fifteen and Brother Sixteen are also going?"
"Well, there is also Nersu." Brother Jiu replied.
Shu Shu remembered something and said: "You can't use knives or scissors during the first month of the year. It's just a small fish. If you really want to catch a big fish, you have to freeze it first."
Brother Jiu said: "I remember this, I won't cause anyone to violate taboos."
It is not good to violate taboos during the Chinese New Year.
Although there is still thirteenth brother here, it can be regarded as two people taking care of four children, but it can't make people feel completely at ease.
Shu Shu said: "That's all. It's sixty-nine right now. Seeing seventy-nine, the surface of the river is probably unreliable. I want people to be careful and don't go in."
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "That was in previous years. The ice and snow began to melt in July or August. This year is different. It's still cold. Today, I stepped on the lake in the garden and it's still strong."
Shu Shu thought about the current weather, which was indeed colder than the beginning of spring in previous years.
She stopped talking and said: "Tomorrow, my sisters-in-law and I will go to pay homage to the Imperial Grandmother. If the Imperial Grandmother leaves a meal, we will eat in the garden and then come back. If the Imperial Grandmother does not leave any food, I will invite the princess over."
Brother Jiu said: "Well, it just so happens that someone will accompany you, so I can feel relieved."
After getting up early this morning, the couple went to bed early in the evening.
Compared with the capital city, the north wind here is bleak and there is a lot of movement at night.
Brother Jiu hugged Shu Shu and said, "Khan Amma is so courageous. There is no city wall here, which makes people uneasy. I guess the garrison here will have to add more people in the future. There is no city wall, so the garrisons will be used as walls everywhere."
Shu Shu said: "In addition to patrols, the emperor is stationed in Changchun Garden more and more often. It would be better if the garrison is completed earlier, and we will feel at ease..."
Early the next morning, Brother Jiu put on his pomegranate red clothes, took a look in the mirror, was very satisfied, and said to Shu Shu: "I can't let a few little ones get old."
Shu Shu couldn't help but smile and said: "You are young, he looks about the same age as Brother Fourteen."
Fourteenth brother, he is fourteen this year.
Brother Jiu also laughed and said: "Anyway, I have to be careful. I can't be a caliper and follow them like two generations."
Shu Shu took the end mask to him.
No matter how brightly you dress, it's still on the inside, and you still have to wear it on the outside.
It was pitch dark, and everyone looked the same. Brother Jiu felt a little disgusted and hesitated: "How about I wear a cloak?"
Shu Shu looked at him and didn't answer.
The cloak can be worn when riding in the car. Occasionally, it can block the wind and keep warm when you get out of the car and take a few steps.
But if you were to be out for half a day on a river that was colder than other places, a cloak was not suitable.
Brother Jiu honestly stretched out his arms and put them on, and said: "This year, I will ask people to inquire about the sting or green mink from Russia. Next year, I will make some clothes of different colors. I don't want this color..."
Shu Shu doesn't like to wear the same clothes as others.
She thought for a while and said: "Aren't there many technicians from Jiangning coming to the Tongzhou Wool Farm? There are special dyeing masters among them. Later I sent someone to ask if I could dye mink fur. If I could dye it, I could choose the color by myself. .”
Brother Jiu heard his heartbeat, nodded and said: "After the New Year, I will ask Cao Shun to go over and ask."
After a simple breakfast, the couple said goodbye.
Brother Ninth took people to Nansi, which is the courtyard where Brother Thirteen lives temporarily.
Shu Shu, on the other hand, met up with Wu Fujin, Qi Fujin, Ba Fujin and the princess, and went to the West Garden together.
They were small in rank and were close to the West Garden, so they went early to avoid being disrespectful behind the Crown Princess, Sanfujin and Sifujin.
In the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother had just had breakfast and was eating around a pot of winter jasmine flowers.
Seeing her granddaughter and several granddaughter-in-laws arriving, she greeted everyone with a smile and said: "Come and see if this pot of spring greetings looks good? The craftsmen in the garden are good, and the flowers and trees are well maintained..."
No wonder the Queen Mother was so happy. This pot of winter jasmine was as tall as a person and three feet in diameter. The golden jasmine flowers were in full bloom.
Now that the weather is freezing, it is really refreshing to see such a pot of spring greetings.
Jiu Gege said: "This is the first time I have seen such a dense Spring Festival. It looks festive."
Wufujin also nodded and said: "Not only do they bloom well, but they also bloom at a good time. The spring flowers outside usually bloom in the first month."
The others didn't say anything, but their faces looked like they liked it.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "I'll ask someone to divide the pots later, and I'll give you a pot to keep. I want to see flowers at this time, and these are the flowers. Narcissus and camellia have a short flowering period, and they are not as good as the spring flowers that bloom continuously for a month and a half."
Women all love flowers, and they are varieties that cannot be found outside, so naturally they are only joyful ones.
After the grandparents and grandchildren finished talking about welcoming the spring, they sat down and talked.
only……
The sisters-in-law looked at each other.
The clock turned right as soon as I saw it, and the crown prince, Sanfujin and Sifujin were not seen yet.
Even though it's some distance away from the West Garden, it's three miles away from here after half a circle around the garden, but it's time to walk over.
Because Nanwusuo is adjacent to the West Garden, Prince Fujin, who lives there, usually comes with the Crown Princess to pay his respects.
At this moment, there was movement outside.
It's Sanfujin and Sifujin who are coming.
The princess was missing.
Accompanying the two of them was a nun beside the Crown Princess.
"The Queen Mother, the Crown Princess woke up early and felt dizzy. She called the doctor and was told to rest. She sent her servant to apologize. I'm afraid she won't be able to come here today."
The grandma reported to the Queen Mother with red eyes.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother straightened up and said, worried, "Can the doctor tell me what the cause of the disease is? Is it because I was tired from moving yesterday?"
The grandma nodded and said, "Yeah, so I didn't get a good rest at night, and I felt confused when I got up in the morning."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said: "I have been very busy this year and after, and I can't rest for a moment. Tell the Crown Princess to let her rest for a few days and don't worry about me. When the weather gets better, I will take Xiaojiu to see her..."
After saying that, she ordered Aunt Bai: "Pack up the donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nests that we got years ago and bring them back to the Crown Princess so that she can stew them and eat them every day."
Aunt Bai went down to get it.
The nanny thanked the reward on behalf of her master and went back to the West Garden.
The remaining aunts and sisters also lost interest in joking.
Everyone looked at San Fujin and Si Fujin.
No matter how you say you are sick, you are sick...
With the princess's temperament, even if she had a minor illness, she would come over to pay her respects...
