After hearing this, the twelfth elder brother looked at three places, pointed to the Duke's mansion and said, "Then this is the place, close to the ninth brother's house."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "You have a good vision. There are big houses on both sides of this place. There are not so many people there, and it looks clean."
As for letting Brother Thirteen choose again, it doesn’t have to be today.
We also need to send people to these places to look at the open spaces next to them.
As for preparing the wood and stone materials, these days are not needed.
The ninth elder brother then said to the twelfth elder brother: "Your ninth sister-in-law had the idea on how to build our prince's palace at that time. You will also find an opportunity to ask for an appointment in the teacher's mansion later."
The twelfth elder brother wondered: "It doesn't have to be like this, right?"
The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is still far away, so we can’t give gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "Forget it, things will go well if things go slowly. There will be a shortage of craftsmen this year, and the construction will not start until next year. You can discuss it later after my brothers and sisters come in."
Brother Twelve did not respond.
Don't want to discuss.
If it is a two-span courtyard, can one person span one span so that there is a clear distinction between the two?
It seems unlikely.
It is also divided into the front yard and the inner house.
Brother Twelve looked at the document in his hand and lost interest...
Brother Ninth avoided the hottest part of the day and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs in anticipation of Shenchu.
When we arrived in Haidian, it was almost the beginning of the year.
The sun isn't as bright anymore.
There is an awning in the backyard, and several children are playing in the yard.
The floor was covered with felt, and on the felt was a bamboo mat.
Fengsheng and Akdan both wore bellybands and crotchless pants, while Niguzhu wore a vest and a small skirt. Anyway, they both had bare arms and legs.
On the plate next to them are various small gold, silver and jade objects, which feel cool to the touch in summer.
Shu Shu and Mrs. Bo sat on the bamboo chairs next to them, watching the children play.
Brother Jiu didn't see Shu Shu in the main room, so he found Shu Shu in the backyard, so he came over.
Ni Guzhu almost jumped up when he saw it.
"Ama, Ama..."
As he shouted, she rushed over like a little meatball.
Brother Jiu hurriedly squatted down, supported her shoulders, kept a distance, and said, "Amma is dirty. I'll wait until Amma changes her clothes before I play with you."
"Go, go..." Niguzhu urged.
Brother Jiu said hello to Mrs. Bo and Shu Shu, and went back to the main courtyard to change clothes.
Mrs. Bo said to Shu Shu: "I didn't expect that among the three children, the most clingy one is Ni Guzhu."
Shu Shu said: "Little Princess is more delicate."
Just as he was talking, Akdan came over, holding a golden piggy in his hand, and said: "Give it to Enie..."
Shu Shu smiled and took it, held it in the palm of her hand, and said: "Akdan is so smart. He remembers Enie's zodiac sign, but what about Amma's zodiac sign? Does Akdan still remember it?"
Akdan blinked, looked back, walked over and dug out another golden pig among a pile of small utensils, which was smaller than the first one.
Shu Shu took it with a smile and said: "This is so good, there is Eni, and Amma..."
As for who is older and who is younger, don't worry.
When Akdan saw her happy, he also laughed and went back to look for other zodiac signs.
Three little rabbits and a dragon.
"Mom Guo Luoma, brother, sister, Akdan..."
Akdan pointed at each one and said to Shu Shu.
It's rare to say so many words in one breath.
Shu Shu hugged him in her arms and praised: "Yes, the whole family is neat and tidy. They all said the right thing."
Akdan pursed his lips and smiled, feeling very good.
Fengsheng saw this and came over.
He still remembered what happened two days ago and said, "Where is the ancestor? Where is Mama?"
Because there was no way to explain the complicated relationship to the children, when Shu Shu took them to the North Garden to pay their respects to Changchun Garden, she said that what she was looking at was Ninth Age Ama’s Enie and Ninth Age Ama’s Enie, and they were also a family.
, just don’t live together.
Fengsheng remembered this and felt that his family was not in order.
Shu Shu put down Akdan, sat on the mat, rummaged through the small objects, picked out a few golden zodiac signs, and placed them with the ones in front.
She held a coiled snake and said, "This is Mama..."
Then there was another dragon, saying: "This is the ancestor..."
There was only one horse left, and she said: "This is Mafa..."
Fengsheng looked at it with confusion on his face.
Akdan pointed to the horse and said: "There is one more..."
Shu Shu said: "Not much. When you study, you will see it. This is your Ama's Ama, the son of your ancestor..."
She explained it clearly, but for children who have never seen it before, they don’t have this concept in their minds.
Brother Jiu had already changed his clothes and came back. He saw several small zodiac ornaments and said with a smile: "Didn't you teach them? Didn't you remember them?"
Ni Guzhu spoke quickly and immediately pointed at the pony and said: "Ama's Ama..."
Brother Ninth: "..."
Fengsheng said: "Tenth uncle, tenth aunt..."
Brother Ninth became more and more confused.
Shu Shu smiled and explained to him: "This is to choose the zodiac sign of the family members, which means Fengsheng, as well as his ten uncles and ten aunts."
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother smiled brightly, hugged Fengsheng and said: "The elder brother is good, he can tell the difference between far and near. Yes, your tenth uncle and tenth aunt are also members of the family..."
Having said this, he made up for it and said: "Your fifth uncle and eighteenth uncle are not outsiders, as well as your eldest uncle, fourth uncle, seventh uncle, twelfth uncle, thirteenth uncle..."
Fengsheng was a little confused when he heard this.
Shu Shu said: "When I first started to remember people, I didn't even remember the ones I met a few times."
Brother Jiu smiled and said to Fengsheng: "When we return to the city, Amma will take you for a walk."
Shu Shu didn't stop him.
Brother Jiu said that it is not suitable for children to go out before they are vaccinated.
It’s not just about preventing smallpox, but also chickenpox and the like.
Ni Guzhu came over again, no longer pestering Shu Shu, but pestering Brother Jiu.
Stretch out your fat arms and lift them high.
Timid children don't like this game; bold ones like Niguzhu like this the best.
Brother Jiu, who was an amma, could not refuse the little cotton-padded jacket's request, so he put down Fengsheng, picked up Niguzhu, and complied with her wish.
"Cluck, cluck... cluck, cluck..."
Ni Guzhu's laughter never stopped. In Brother Jiu's arms, he kicked his little arms and legs vigorously.
Brother Jiu was sweating all over and his arms began to tremble, but he didn't want to show any timidity in front of his wife and children, so he changed his position and carried Nigu Zhu on his neck.
"high……"
Ni Guzhu hugged Brother Jiu's forehead and stared, becoming more and more happy.
Fengsheng and Akdan looked at it with envy on their faces.
If someone else had a strict father and a loving mother, the child would probably not care about playing with Amma.
Ninth Brother doesn't look serious, and the children naturally like to get close to him.
When Akdan was a baby, he ignored his ninth elder brother.
Now that he has learned to speak, Shu Shu often talks to him.
He knew that Ninth Elder Brother was Ama, and Ama was the one who worked hard to support the family. If he wanted to respect Ama, he would not be so repulsive to Ninth Elder Brother.
Brother Ninth Brother usually sees children vying for favor with Shu Shu. Who would have thought that he would be robbed one day?
He immediately felt energetic as if he had taken the five-stone powder. He changed it to Nigu beads, and then changed it to Fengsheng.
Fengsheng was usually quiet and steady, never fighting or grabbing, but he was still a child, and now he was riding on Brother Jiu's neck, holding his head tightly with his little hands, and he was also "clucking" with joy.
When it was Akdan's turn, Akdan didn't laugh out loud, but his eyebrows were crooked.
After being the "Ruziniu" Ninth Brother for two quarters of an hour, I was sweating all over and my breathing was heavy.
Shu Shu knew how he felt, not tired, but hot.
A child this big is like a furnace.
Just when it was time for the children to eat complementary foods, the nanny carried them back to their rooms.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu said goodbye to Mrs. Bo and returned to the main courtyard.
The bath water had been prepared early, and Shu Shu and Jiu Age both took a bath and changed clothes.
Brother Jiu rubbed his shoulders as he had just been kicked by Ni Guzhu.
Upon seeing this, Shu Shu went over to check and found a red patch.
"I have to tell Ni Guzhu later that I have to restrain my strength. If you kick me, we'll pay it back. Amou can't bear this..."
Shu Shu said.
Madam uncle is getting older and has reached the age of osteoporosis, and she cannot withstand this strength.
Brother Jiu said: "Then let's talk it over. She didn't mean it. She has to be older to understand the seriousness."
Shu Shu nodded.
She thought about the joy of Fengsheng and Akdan just now.
Ni Guzhu loves to laugh and can giggle for a long time even when he is playing.
Fengsheng and Akdan are not like this.
"Master, when are you going to choose haha beads for them? In the backyard, there is either a wet nurse or a nanny. The little girl should be played with by the little boy..."
Shu Shu asked.
Children are raised in the inner house and come into contact with female relatives, so the yin is strong and the yang is weak.
It's okay for girls, but for boys, it's easy to be squeamish.
Brother Jiu said: "You can choose now. It should take a few months to check your character and conduct, so as not to bring up the child."
Shu Shu was a little confused.
How big of a difference is this?
He's too young, he's a child at that age, he needs to be coaxed by his parents, and he can't bear to ask someone to work as an errand in the house.
If it's too big, it won't be a playmate.
Brother Jiu had an idea and said: "For those who are three or four years older, before going to school, look at those of similar age. You don't have to limit yourself to just four. Pick a few more to prepare."
Shu Shu said: "It's better to be consensual when the time comes. There's no need to force it."
The Xing family has reserved a spot for the haha bead, and the age difference is exactly three or four years.
They really didn't pay attention to other people's children.
Those who are qualified to bring their sons into the palace to pay respects are the two eunuchs and one eunuch under the name of Brother Jiu.
Earlier, their wife brought girls, nieces, etc. over with bad intentions, which angered the ninth elder brother, and they were not allowed to enter the house again to pay respects.
Pick Haha Pearl, the boys from this kind of official family are better than those from other wrapping families, but the family tradition of these families is not liked by Brother Jiu and Shu Shu.
Brother Jiu then said: "Let's look at the nanny's family again. The character of this mother-in-law has been checked before. It's easier to just look at the child this time."
Shu Shu said: "We must also guard against possible collusion. Let's go back and choose one of the two. If the child chooses the one with haha beads, the nurse will withdraw."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "You don't have to be a one-size-fits-all. You can be like this. If you are a roommate, you don't have to be like this. A worldly servant also has merits."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, we'll see about it later."
After talking about the children, Brother Ninth talked about the location of the Prince's Mansion.
When Shu Shu heard about Shichahai, she thought of the property that the twelfth elder brother had replaced, and said, "It's a good intention for me to protect my younger brother first, and it's not good to be the scapegoat all the time. Remember to mention it in front of others in the future, that the property has been replaced."
gone back."
Brother Jiu said: "I understand. Unexpectedly, Khan Ama's thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. Guangshanku actually recovered a round of silver, but there was no follow-up. Uncle Twelve just stopped participating.
There is no other punishment."
Shu Shu couldn't help but complain.
This is just the beginning.
In the future, there will be more times when old ministers will be exposed and betray their accounts, and Emperor Kangxi will become more and more "tolerant".
This is also a hidden suspicion.
He is afraid that there is a master behind the young and strong ministers, and he trusts the old ministers he has raised.
Just because the king and his ministers get along well with each other, all the old ministers are loyal.
But in fact, it is the veterans who are ambitious and want to preserve the family's century-old wealth.
After Brother Jiu finished reciting this sentence, he put it down.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with them. Their family neither borrowed money from Guangshan Treasury nor the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The next day, the Holy Master moved to Changchun Garden.
Compared with the palace, the lush vegetation here makes my mood soothing.
Seeing that the fourteenth elder brother's turmoil had subsided, the ninth elder brother became bolder and did not continue to go to the city to have a meal.
It happened that yesterday he and Shu Shu compiled recipes suitable for summer. He personally sent them to Changchun Garden and summoned the manager of the garden kitchen: "This is a new recipe. I reported it to the emperor yesterday. Look at the ingredients.
, let’s do it differently. If there is something Khan Ama likes to eat, put it on the menu. If Khan Ama doesn’t like it, don’t put it on it.”
The manager of the Yuan Dining Room also knows that the recipes from Ninth Age's family are good. Now, in addition to the regular dishes, the Yuan Dining Room also has more than ten kinds of recipes passed down from Ninth Age's family.
Now that he had gotten a new one, he was only grateful and said hurriedly: "I will ask someone to try it today."
So, when it was time for lunch, Qingxi Bookstore had two new dishes, cold lotus leaf tips and lotus omelette...
