Chapter 1,254: Suffer a loss or take advantage (monthly ticket)
Shu Shu sighed.
No one else knows how this dinner came about, so doesn’t she know?
It’s because of the bird’s nest mat in autumn.
Shi Fujin had mentioned taking turns to treat guests at that time, and he had no objection.
Originally, life in the inner house was boring. There were concubines and children in other people's houses, so they had more to worry about, but here in Shifujin it was even more leisurely.
Even at the housekeeper's place, there are also the eunuch in charge and the nanny of Brother Ten, so Shi Fujin doesn't have to worry much.
"It's just to kill time. I made an agreement with Sister-in-law Seven before to treat guests in turn, even if it's the younger one. If I find a reason to invite guests again next month, others won't be able to talk about the ten younger siblings..."
Shu Shu said.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Then our family can't use the excuse of 'treasure appraisal meeting'. We are so stupid. We have to find someone who can accept the gift, otherwise we will suffer a loss."
Shu Shu glanced at him, then lay down again and said, "Okay, let me think about it. Anyway, I can't think of anything else."
Brother Jiu really took it seriously and said: "Think about it carefully and ask around to find out what other people's excuses are for serving wine..."
It can only be said that the Prince's Mansion doesn't have many interactions with the outside world, and posts from ordinary people cannot be sent here.
Those who can come here are for serious business, such as weddings and funerals.
Therefore, the couple really don't know much about these unsophisticated reasons for inviting guests.
The next day is the tenth day of winter.
Shu Shu also wanted to pay his respects to the palace and got up early.
Brother Ninth did not stay in bed and got up.
Yesterday he complained that Shi Fujin was ignorant, but today he started to worry about the Tenth Prince's house.
I'm worried that the banquet will not be well organized and I will lose my temper.
He glanced in the direction of Babeizi Mansion and said: "Have you sent the post over there? It's hard to miss. Even if you know that Guo Luoluo is not able to come out at the moment, you still have to send it."
Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, sir. The ten younger brothers and sisters have been careful this time. They sent a post, but they didn't say anything about it. They also returned a plate of grapefruit and a plate of bergamot. The Crown Princess also wanted to say hello today.
of."
Brother Jiu felt relieved and said, "That's good."
Today, Brother Ten was not here, so Shi Fujin did not come to squeeze into Shu Shu's carriage. He waved hello from afar, and she got on her own carriage.
Shu Shu also waved.
The corners of Brother Ninth's lips turned up, he was quite satisfied, he helped Shu Shu get into the carriage, and he began to think of Brother Ten again.
"I'm not going either. What's the point of being alone in Nanyuan? There's no one to keep me company..."
"Don't worry, sir, our thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers are here." Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "We are all children, and we can't get along with Lao Shi..."
As he said this, he thought of Brother Eight, frowned and then said, "Fortunately, Eighth doesn't dare to get close to Old Ten, otherwise he'll be annoyed to death..."
Shu Shu listened to Brother Jiu's chatter and looked at the carriage of Si Fujin in front.
When we come back, we can come to the Tenth Prince's Mansion together.
As for the eighth elder brother...
She lowered the carriage curtain and looked at Brother Ninth.
The brotherhood that I valued so much in my early years is now boring, not to mention indifferent.
This is not only true between relatives, but also between husband and wife.
If one day our love breaks out, we will probably feel disgusted with each other.
Brother Jiu looked at her and said: "What? What I said is wrong? Lao Shi and I have different temperaments. I can still respond in vain, but Lao Shi is too lazy to deal with it."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "I don't think what I said is wrong. I just thought that Ba Fujin was treating his face, but Ba Fu had an affair. This couple is weird."
Brother Jiu said with disdain: "That was done by Mr. Guo Luoluo himself. Even if his face improves, if his temper does not change, no one will be proud of it..."
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, she just felt that the loving couple who had supported each other for more than thirty years in history would not really continue to be so estranged. It is estimated that there will be a time for change, and at least they should still be affectionate to the outside world.
Otherwise, how could the Eighth Prince unite the princely forces of Zhenglan Banner?
When you can't eat the soft rice, it's time to eat the soft rice.
The couple chatted and arrived outside the Shenwu Gate.
Shu Shu said to Brother Ninth: "There is no need for the carriage to come to pick me up. I will go back directly in the car of my tenth brother and sister."
The couple shared a car today.
Brother Jiu nodded, indicating that he understood.
Shu Shu got off the carriage.
The fourth Fujin in front had already got off the carriage and was talking to the fifth Fujin.
Wufujin also came a little early today.
Shu Shu waited for Shi Fujin, and then the two sisters stepped forward together.
I will go to the Tenth Prince's Mansion for a gathering soon after I leave the palace, so I don't have anything to say at the moment. The sisters said hello and then went their separate ways.
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin are already holding hands and heading to Yikun Palace.
"The fifth master sent back some doe yesterday. Two of them are going to be sent to the palace, and the other two are for you. I'll send them back together this afternoon," Wufu Jin said.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then, Fifth Sister-in-law will thank Fifth Brother for us later. I am thinking of giving some other things to the little ones to try. I wonder if stewed deer milk can be drunk."
Regarding the child, Wu Fujin took it seriously and reminded: "Then you need to ask the imperial doctor carefully. Don't dare to ask them to try casually."
"Well, that's for sure."
Shu Shu said.
It seems that this is the case for mothers. Those who have children tend to talk about their children.
Wu Fujin also mentioned the child: "The second elder brother can recognize people now. I look at him every day and his eyes follow me."
Shu Shu sounded weird, but luckily he wasn't ranked as the third or fourth elder brother.
It's just hard to point it out, otherwise it would be even weirder.
Every family is full of brothers.
She said: "It's so fast. In another half month, I can turn over. It's fun."
Wu Fujin's face was full of tenderness and expectation.
When we arrived at Yikun Palace, the seventeenth elder brother and the eighteenth elder brother were also there.
The two of them, wearing small coats trimmed with mink fur and woolen melon-skin hats on their heads, were chasing each other in Yikun Palace.
It's this pursuit that has the moisture.
The eighteenth brother is actually two years old, but is actually less than one and a half years old, so he can walk steadily.
The seventeenth elder brother was just playing with his younger brother. He walked next to the kang so that the eighteenth elder brother could pick up the edge of the kang and chase people.
"Cackle, cluck..."
The whole room was filled with the crisp laughter of the 18th prince.
"Haha..." Brother Seventeen also smiled and guided his younger brother to take a few more steps.
Seeing Shu Shu and Wu Fujin arriving, the seventeenth elder brother stopped, took the eighteenth elder brother's hand, and bowed: "Blessings to the fifth sister-in-law, greetings to the ninth sister-in-law..."
The eighteenth elder brother had not seen his two sisters-in-law for a long time. He could not remember them. He only looked at them curiously and followed the seventeenth elder brother to learn the language: "An, an..."
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin also followed the rules and returned the greeting, saying: "Good morning, Uncle Seventeenth, and greetings, Uncle Eighteen."
Although my brother-in-law is still a little bit young, he is also the prince's elder brother.
There are old affairs in Taizu's dynasty, let alone them, even the crown princess would not dare to neglect the prince's elder brother.
Concubine Yi told Peilan: "Take the two brothers to the West House and run two more laps..."
Peilan responded, called to the nannies standing beside him, and took the two brothers down.
Only then did Concubine Yi tell Shu Shu and Wu Fu Jin: "In the morning, we steamed minced meat and eggs. The two brothers competed with each other. They didn't put down their bowls. They were all full. Their stomachs were swollen and hard, and they were eating too much."
Wufu Jin said: "It's good to run and jump, and your body will be strong."
Shu Shu didn't answer, remembering that when she was in Changchun Garden, Brother Jiu brought eggs to the imperial palace.
However, the supply of the imperial dining room is subject to regulations, and it would be troublesome to increase the number.
From what Yifei meant, it should have been that she hadn't added it yet, otherwise the two princes and elder brothers wouldn't know how to eat eggs and would be full.
Before going out, Concubine Yi asked someone to dig out a brocade box.
"The gift I received when I went to Horqin the year before last year. Since you want to appraise the treasure today, you can use it to show it to Shifujin..." Concubine Yi said.
It turns out that Shi Fujin sent people into the palace yesterday afternoon. In addition to gifts for the Queen Mother, the two concubines and the crown princess, he also sent two bottles of perfume to Yikun Palace.
Concubine Yi specially asked someone to dig out this, which was regarded as a return gift.
It is an inch and a half square chain box inlaid with rubies and sapphires. It looks like a diagonal version of a mobile phone chain from later generations.
Look at the style, it is the style that Mongolians like; look at the sophistication and the palace style, it should be an antique jewelry from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.
This kind of jewelry on the body goes well with the Mongolian robe.
Yifei chose this as a return gift, she was very considerate.
Shu Shu took it and let Xiao Song hold it.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took the chariot as usual and headed to Ningshou Palace.
It's getting colder every day.
The Queen Mother's greeting time here is getting shorter and shorter.
The house was burning with earthworm fever. Everyone was wearing straight sweaters and sweating after staying for a long time.
The Queen Mother was considerate and basically greeted everyone, said a few words and dismissed everyone.
The same is true today.
Shu Shu took Jiu Gege's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "Is this an illness?"
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiu Gege was not there, but he did not report illness, only that there was something going on at home.
Shu Shu felt that it was probably because of her physical discomfort, and she didn't want the Queen Mother to worry.
Otherwise, if something is really delayed, you won't be embarrassed about it, but will explain why you didn't enter the palace.
Jiu Gege blushed and said: "It's okay, I'm just menstruating. I have a stomachache. My husband made a fuss and refused to let me go, so I asked someone to take a leave of absence."
Shu Shu held her hand and felt the moisture in her palm. Knowing that she must not have said it so softly, she said: "When it is convenient, please ask Mrs. Jiang to come over and prescribe two prescriptions for regulating menstruation. The ones on this woman's monthly letter are
The problem is not serious but it makes me tired. It’s just a good time to replenish and remove moisture in winter..."
Jiu Gege nodded and said, "Yes, my consort also said so."
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt quite satisfied with Bu Xi.
Even these things can be thought of. If you don't tell the princess whether you are sincere or not, being considerate is enough.
Shi Fujin, like Shu Shu, also brought two girls into the palace, and now both girls were holding brocade boxes in their arms.
San Fujin was talking with Si Fujin on his arm. When he saw this scene, he whispered to Si Fujin: "This is the first time I heard about this invitation. In the end, are we going to appraise the treasure or give it away?"
We are all sisters-in-law. Who would be too embarrassed to bare their hands when they go out to eat? They have to pull out good things and take them with them.
As a result, in addition to them who were eating at the table, the elders who did not show up also prepared things for them.
This treat is so worth it...

Ranked fourth in history, the list is so intense that I burst into tears and rolled around asking for monthly votes.
