The next day, the fifth watch drum sounded, and there was movement in the yard.
She got comfortable and didn't even want to lift her arms, so she let Brother Jiu help her get dressed.
Brother Jiu also found it interesting. He waited on Shushu and dressed up. Finally, he tied a sachet around her waist and looked at it twice: "Without any other clothes, just hanging like this? Isn't it too plain?"
It was Brother Jiu himself, with a string hanging on his belt, including the sapphire flat peach safe and sound sign given by Shu Shu, an oval purse with a vase embroidered with gold thread on a black background, a red satin watch cover, a red satin finger set, and a red satin
Fan cover.
"That's enough, mainly to repel mosquitoes..."
Shu Shu replied lazily.
I've been on the road all day and haven't seen any guests, so just dress up normally.
In early autumn, when the weather gets colder, many mosquitoes like to crawl into cars, making it impossible to catch them cleanly.
I didn't pay attention at first yesterday and got bitten several times.
This sachet is not made of gold or silver, but is made of ordinary bright red gauze. Inside is the mosquito repellent perfume obtained from the Taiyuan Hospital.
What she was wearing was simple, a rouge-colored silk cheongsam, a traditional loose-fitting one with no embroidery. The buttons were not gemstones, but red glass. Only the red magnolia flower was embroidered on the collar, which made it look less plain.
Simple and pretty, wearing flat flag shoes.
Seeing the maids coming in, Brother Jiu told Shu Shu: "I'm going to see Lao Shi and Thirteen, so that they don't have to wait and be delayed..."
Shu Shu glanced at him and nodded.
Brother Jiu picked up the curtain and went in.
Xiaosong put the wash basin, Walnut stepped forward to roll up Shu Shu's sleeves, and Xiaoyu passed the soap beside him.
Yes, you read that right, it's soap.
It is said to be soap, but in fact it is more like an improved version of bath beans, the size of a hawthorn ball.
Inside are various whitening and flavoring Chinese medicines ground into fine pieces, and then mixed with soap locust, lard, and egg white to form balls.
Shu Shu has been using it since she was a child. The reason why her skin is white may be due to the effect of this soap.
After Shu Shu washed her face and brushed her teeth, she sat in front of the dressing table and saw that her eyes were turning blue in the glass mirror.
"Have you not had a good rest before choosing a table for Fujin?"
While combing her hair, Xiaoyu said with a little heartache: "I caught the smelly sister for a long time yesterday. Even if I throw them all out, this house will still smell like that."
Shu Shu moved her nose, and there was indeed a faint smell of bed bugs.
I was so distracted last night that I didn't even think about this.
"The climate in the suburbs is really cooler than in the city. I remember that in the city, the smelly ladies only come into the house after the Mid-Autumn Festival..."
Shu Shu said, remembering that brother Jiu said last night that Xia's quilt was thin.
We are stationed in Miyun tonight, which is the real mountain. It cannot be said that it will be colder.
"Go to the place in the afternoon, take out the Spring and Autumn Bedding and prepare it. Use that when it gets cold... You guys should also be careful and add or take off your clothes. Sooner or later it will get cold, so don't catch a cold..."
Shu Shu warned.
When the holy cavalry goes out on patrol, there is always a large procession. Not to mention the palace maids and women of the family who are sick, even the princes like Jiu Age and Shu Shu and the prince Fujin are sick, so they can only stay in the place to recuperate.
Several girls agreed.
Xiaoyu combed her hair and pressed powder under Shu Shu's eyes to cover the black spots under her eyes.
Xiao Song was nearby and couldn't reach him. He looked at the door and saw Brother Jiu was nowhere to be seen, so he whispered: "Fu Jin, if Brother Jiu doesn't take the car, my servant will hold the button for you in the car and have a good rest..."
He didn't sleep well for two nights in a row and felt tired, so he nodded.
Xiaosong said with joy: "Then I'll go and turn over a thick mattress so that I don't have to worry about it. Then you can lie down properly..."
Brother Jiu came in. Hearing this sentence, he frowned and glanced at Xiao Song, feeling very disgusted.
Xiaosong immediately stopped moving, wishing he could lift his toes up and tiptoe out.
Shu Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scolded Brother Jiu: "Okay, why did I scare her?"
Brother Jiu snorted softly and said: "I have been in the palace for more than a month, and I still want to return it to you and me...I will bring it out later, it will not be a shame for you..."
Shu Shu stopped smiling and nodded: "Well, I understand, I'll restrain her properly later..."
Brother Jiu sat down opposite her and said: "Being a retinue is different from being in the palace. The palace is in the Second Palace. It is our own territory. We can do whatever we want if we don't come out... Outside, you princes Fujin are on the road.
Fortunately, when the Mongolian princes form an alliance, they will definitely be by the side of the queen mother or empress. When the time comes, they will lose their rules and ask others to talk..."
Shu Shu knew what was good and sighed in her heart.
In fact, Xiao Song always has good rules, so he said it unintentionally.
If I go out to open a mansion, these small problems will naturally not be a big deal, but it is better to change them now.
Before Shu Shu awakened his memory, he treated several girls as playmates.
After awakening my memory, I felt a little bit like a lolita, and I never criticized her harshly.
Fortunately for others, there are no female elders in Xiaosong's family. His father and brother are both warriors, so his temperament is a bit casual.
This is not a good thing for this girl.
But I couldn't bear to ask Shu Shu to train her.
Brother Jiu seemed to have thought of this as well. He waved his hand and sent Xiaoyu and Walnut out, then lowered his voice and said: "You can just say a word, no need to say it harshly... Later, the empress proposed the candidate for grandma, and let her follow and learn the rules."
…”
Shu Shu was very surprised.
How can a majestic prince still worry about how to train a maid?
According to Ninth Prince's usual arrogance, shouldn't he just use it when it's needed and replace it when it's not in use?
Brother Jiu had regrets on his face: "Being a companion is different after all. The affection is there and it is easy to use... But back then, Master Fan didn't dislike this and was picky about that. He trained one or two haha beads.
There’s no need to use any of them…”
Regarding Ninth Brother’s haha beads, the young couple also mentioned it once before.
In fact, Brother Ninth had no choice.
The eight haha beads were all pointed out by Kangxi himself.
The two sons of officials became the sons of banner slaves after their fathers and ancestors were overthrown and lost their status. The whole family turned into slaves of the lords.
"Sending into slavery" was a more serious matter to the officials and people of the Eight Banners than being beheaded on trial.
Beheading for questioning only involves one's own body, while "sending into slavery" means losing one's regular household registration under the Eight Banners, and the whole family becomes a member of the household.
The lords of the lower five banners, big and small, are all clans, and the clans all live in the capital.
Therefore, the families of those two people were lucky enough to have never left Beijing.
Because there is another kind of "sending people into slavery", which is called "sending Ning Guta and Pijia people into slavery".
Ninggu Pagoda is more than three thousand miles away from the capital. The prisoners had to be sent out on foot, and half of them died on the way.
If you are lucky enough to survive to Ninggu Pagoda, you will encounter a freezing cold climate and a wild environment of tigers and wolves. If there is a war, you will be used as cannon fodder in the vanguard camp.
As for the two clan companions, they have filled the vacancies in the clan this year, but they are working as servants for the imperial court and cannot be the personal subordinates of the ninth elder brother.
Two noble children, with too high a family background, a side branch of the Hesheli family and the eldest grandson of the direct branch of the Tong family.
Otherwise, when the ninth elder brother is ennobled and the population is ennobled, the best help will be to directly divide the clan into the royal family.
Of the eight companions, only the two cousins who were born in Baoyi are left.
It happened that these two people were carried into Manchuria with a yellow flag. It was the upper three banners led by the emperor himself. It was impossible to follow the ninth prince and move to the lower five banners. Among them, Guidan had already supplemented the bodyguards, and the other one followed the three officials to protect him.
I heard that people from Shengjing also have the rank of assistant leader.
There's not a single one available!
How sincere was Kangxi's Ama to Concubine Yi?
These two princes from Yikun Palace went too far and did not give their sons a chance to stand up.
In the Qing Dynasty, where "sons are valued more than their mothers" was the most important thing, it was abnormal for the ninth prince, the son of a concubine, and the tenth prince, the son of a noble concubine, to depend on the eighth prince, who was similar in age and had the lowest background.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth, who was completely unaware. He only thought he had a bad temper, so he didn't win over his former companion.
Brother Jiu whispered in a low voice, still introspecting: "I discovered that sometimes you have to find someone to cooperate. One person is a bad person, and the other person is a good person... In this way, even if you complain later, it will still be the person who made the bad person..."
Shu Shu was very surprised: "I'm so sorry, what's the reason for this?" At this point, he guessed: "Is it Prince Cheng who is a celebrity?"
"Don't do the third child's business..."
Brother Ninth shook his head: "I just saw that Brother Five and Brother Seven were surrounded by Haha Zhuzi guards, and I remembered that earlier... earlier, I had a bad temper. I scolded Shun Anyan twice and told Brother Eight to catch up, and Brother Eight was kind to him.
He comforted me with kind words... and the eunuchs around me. Back then, I scolded and kicked whenever I wanted. It was also the Eighth Brother who comforted people and rewarded them as he pleased..."
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, but her heart was already churning.
Is this idiot awake?!
Shun Anyan became the backbone of the "Ba Ye Party", not because he first supported the eldest brother and then transferred to the eighth brother after the eldest brother fell? But because they have a long history?
And Yao Zixiao’s obedience to his eighth prince...
Ninth Prince, are you planning to stay away from Eighth Prince?
"I just think that you and Bage are both smart people. I will have to learn from you in the future... Just being kind to others is very good... My identity is here, the prince's elder brother has a distinguished status.
, even if you talk nicely, who would dare to rub your nose in the face? You will only feel that Corporal Ye Lixian is gentle and amiable, which is an extra benefit out of thin air..."
At this point, he glanced at Shu Shu: "From now on, it's okay for me to sing with a red face. As for the bad ones, let others sing... Just like the old lady who goes out next to you, and the housekeeper...
The Bafujin next to Bage also has a black face..."
Growth is step by step.
The ninth elder brother had already realized something, but due to his nature, he did not criticize and doubt the eighth elder brother's government. He only thought that this was his strength and he should learn from it.
Shu Shu didn't point it out. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said: "You are so smart, you can actually see this? I, Enie, taught me since I was a child that my identity is here. Don't quarrel with others easily. No matter whether you win or lose, you will always be the same."
It’s a joke…”
As a result, she failed to do so and had several quarrels with Bafujin. This was due to her utilitarianism and she did not handle the matter thoroughly.
Brother Jiu had a tangled look on his face, and looked at Shu Shu who disapproved: "My mother-in-law taught me very well, but I have to be right about things and people. Some people understand the truth, and some don't... Anyway, I don't care what other people do, the Eighth Fortune Jin will do it."
Let's stay away later. I don't want to have any disputes in the future. We have to bow our heads first..."
