Chapter 1522 Direction (rolling and asking for monthly votes))
Shu Shu talked about Shi Fujin's birth and said, "He is a good-looking little brother. If he gives birth to a daughter next time, he will definitely be one of the best among the royal granddaughters."
The uncle said: "The young couple has a good relationship, they are pregnant, and they will have a baby in the future."
If Shifujin gives birth to a legitimate daughter, there is no need to worry like Shushu, because Abahai will take care of everything.
When the time comes, I can't ask for grace to stay in Beijing, but I can still ask for grace to be directed to my uncle's house.
After the couple saw their daughter, they went to the back room to see their son.
Fengsheng and Akdan are not as addicted to going out to play as Niguzhu, and unlike Niguzhu, they have to go outdoors twice a day.
When the two of them passed by, Grandma Qi was teaching the two little brothers Mandarin.
As for Mongolian, Shu Shu plans to postpone teaching her two children for two years to avoid confusion.
Now all the nannies around them have withdrawn, only the nanny is here.
The nannies are all selected from under the guidance of Bao Yi Zuo Ling, half of them can speak Manchu and half can speak Chinese.
It is the time for children to learn languages. Before they are five or six years old, Shu Shu does not plan to educate her three children. As long as they can learn three languages well, that will be enough.
Seeing the couple come in, Grandma Qi stood up.
Shu Shu looked at Grandma Qi carefully and saw that she looked good, and said: "Since sea cucumber is effective, Grandma will eat it. Even if she feels light, she should sleep for three and a half hours."
Although there were other nannies here for the past year and a half, Grandma Qi took charge of the affairs around the two little brothers, and she also endured it. She lost a lot of weight, which was not easy.
Aunt Qi said: "I'm fine, my slave. Don't worry, Fujin. My brothers rested during the day, and I also slept for half an hour. I'm full of energy."
For Grandma Qi, who has no father, mother, husband, or children, she is not afraid of being busy, but is afraid of leisure and quietness.
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, just said: "I need to eat eggs and milk every day. I added deer milk this time, and grandma also drinks it. It's all good for health. I'll give it to you later."
Fengsheng and Akdan take care of the children."
Aunt Qi didn't dare to think about that situation and said: "When Brother Sun comes out, all the slaves will be in their seventies..."
Shu Shu said: "Mom, listen to me. If you eat well and sleep enough, you can be as strong at seventy as you are at fifty..."
Shu Shu was talking to Aunt Qi, and Akdan obediently came over and handed a gilt silver nine-link ring to Shu Shu.
Their brothers were still young and couldn't play with the Nine Links, they just listened to the sound.
Fengsheng was being held by Brother Jiu, pointing at the objects he saw and saying a few newly learned Manchu sentences.
Brother Jiu was very proud and said to Shu Shu: "Look at our son, he is only two years old and so smart. If he goes to study, he will definitely be number one in homework."
Shu Shu smiled and praised Fengsheng.
He was also learning to speak, but Akdan cherished words like gold.
These two brothers have really had distinct personalities since they were young.
After staying in the back building for two-quarters of an hour, seeing that the children were all sleepy, when it was time for a nap in the afternoon, the couple went back to the main room.
After walking around outside, Shu Shu's face felt a little tight, so she washed her face, sat in front of the dressing table, and applied some moisturizing cream.
This is added with rose essential oil and ginseng, which is perfect for moisturizing in winter.
Brother Jiu looked on and smelled the faint smell of ginseng. He remembered his plan when he was in the Yamen and said, "How about we buy ginseng from the palace and sell ginseng paste to Khalkha?"
Shu Shu finished slapping her face and looked at Brother Jiu.
Two thunders at once!
She didn't answer immediately, but looked like she was thinking about it, and thought for a while before speaking.
"Sir, the worst ginseng seeds are used in this paste. The ginseng stored in the palace is of a certain grade. The estimate will not be cheap, but after being stored for a long time, the efficacy may not match the price;
It's a small matter. Khalkha is different from Monan Mongolia. The imperial court has not yet completely conquered it. I think that trade is a good thing, but it is better for public affairs than private. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs comes forward and asks the fourth sister to be the prime minister in the middle, it is impossible to get the best of both worlds.
Sister has reason to intervene in Khalkha affairs, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also make more profits and offset the deficit of the Lifan Yuan..."
Brother Ninth knew how to calculate economic accounts, and he immediately understood that it was uneconomical for his family to have accounts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
This is true even if according to the rules, it does not take advantage of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for Khalkha...
"At that time, the main thing is to transport alcohol. Ginseng paste is a convenience. Men love drinking, but women love these things most..." Brother Jiu said.
Shu Shu said: "What about ideas for clothing materials and jewelry?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't know much about jewelry. From what Lao Shi Fujin said, each ministry has gold and silver craftsmen, as well as clothing materials. There are cloth merchants in Shanxi who specialize in outsourcing. You can't smash their jobs, otherwise you will turn around and stab them."
When we arrive in front of the emperor, it’s time for Khan Ama to speak loudly again.”
Shu Shu blinked and said: "Since there is a Liulifang in the inner building, does it know how to make mirrors? If you can make silver mirrors, that noble lady should like it."
Brother Ninth Brother still shook his head and said: "It's too late. When Russian businessmen go to Khalkha, they bring only these little things from Europe."
Shu Shu couldn't think of anything else and said: "How about drinking some wine? I can ask for some medicinal wine recipes from the Imperial Hospital, ones that can nourish the kidneys and nourish yin, so that they can be used by both men and women..."
Brother Jiu's eyes fell on another place, which was a bottle of osmanthus scalp oil.
Shu Shu doesn't like to use hair oil, but sometimes her hair gets frizzy, so this is a must-have to fix her makeup.
Brother Jiu said: "This looks very similar to Western perfume at first glance. We can also burn the glass bottles ourselves. Let's first see if the in-house manufacturer can imitate Western perfume. Then it will be cheaper than what Russian merchants sell. That's fine.
You can make a lot of money..."
At this point, he seemed to have opened up the context and said: "There is also cashmere from Jiangning. I have sent a letter to Cao Yin later, saying that we will no longer weave our own patterns, but we will also make them in Western styles, and transport them to Khalkha, which is the customs."
The 'foreign goods' are here..."
Shu Shu was speechless after hearing this.
This is to "copycat".
But since they are used to doing business with Russia, they do recognize things from Europe more.
Shu Shu said: "There should be silver tableware, kettles and wine bottles from the customs tribute in the palace, and they can also be made in Western style..."
Brother Jiu had a plan and said: "The main thing will be soju then, supplemented by these Western items."
The couple had caught up on their sleep in the morning and were not sleepy now, so they went to the study.
Brother Jiu plans to write a good plan and start preparing it after the new year.
By the time the pots are turned on in the second half of the year, the first batch of goods has been stocked and can be shipped to Khalkha before September.
What Shu Shu held in his hands was the "Three Character Classic" and the "Thousand Character Classic".
She didn't intend to enlighten a few children prematurely, but in her free time, she planned to summarize the short stories and knowledge points in these two elementary books and make a simple picture book.
If you can get your three children to love reading before they start their education, they will never get tired of reading after they start their education.
As for who draws...
There is also Cao Yueying, a master of calligraphy and painting in the house, and Shu Shu plans to prepare a brush and ask him to help draw some children's storybooks.
The content here is in her control.
When the ninth elder brother was halfway through writing the plan, Shu Shu also read the two Mongolian books. The tenth elder brother sent Wang Changshou with a post.
The day after tomorrow, the Tenth Prince's Mansion held a small banquet in "Xisan" without inviting outside guests. It was the Prince's Mansion and the Fifth Princess' Mansion, as well as Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion. Wang Changshou had already sent a post for half a day.
Brother Jiu said: "Don't forget to send a gift to Yuqing Palace. It's not convenient for the Crown Princess to come out, but she will prepare a gift."
Wang Changshou said: "I have already called Wang Ping'an, and I have also sent the posts from Qianxi Tou Institute and Wu Institute together."
Brother Jiu glanced at the clock and saw that it was evening, so he said, "You came from next door. Have you seen Master Eight? How is your face?"
Wang Changshou said honestly: "I see, Ba Ye is coughing, and he said that the wind and cold have not recovered. He will go to congratulate him after he feels better in a few days, and let Bafu Jin pass later."
"Hahahaha, it's a coincidence that he is ill!"
Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Shu Shu with a sense of gloating: "Look, I've just avoided these few days..."
There are still outsiders here, so Shu Shu doesn't like to comment. He only echoes: "It's cold before entering Jiu, and there are many people suffering from wind and cold..."
The ninth elder brother snorted lightly and stopped mentioning the eighth elder brother. There was no point in beating the drowned dog, so he asked Wang Changshou: "When did your master come back from the palace and has he been lifted from the ban?"
Wang Changshou said: "I have just returned, and the ban has been lifted. I will go to the clan mansion to order mao from tomorrow."
Brother Jiu felt relieved and signaled to Bai Guo to give him a reward and sent Wang Changshou away...

In Qianxitou, the Thirteenth Brother has just returned from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Fourteenth Brother is already waiting here.
"Brother Thirteen, have you accepted the post from Brother Ten's house?"
When Brother Fourteen saw him coming back, he asked straight to the point.
Seeing that he was so angry, the Thirteenth Brother couldn't help but have a headache and said: "I have only been back from Nanyuan for a few days, and you are already thinking about leaving the palace again? The Tenth Brother knows the rules of going to the study. Unless the Khan Ama speaks eloquently, there is no lie. , why would I send you a post?”
The fourteenth elder brother frowned and said: "I am also an uncle, how can I follow the same example as the younger elder brother?"
The thirteenth brother shook his head and said: "You are not on duty, you are just the little brother. I am here to make up the numbers. The main thing is to invite the twelfth brother and the twelfth sister-in-law..."
Brother Fourteen sighed and said, "It will have to wait until the year after tomorrow before I can leave and go to the study..."

Qianxi Wuzhao, main room.
Twelve Fujin looked at the post in his hand, feeling a little uneasy and said, "Sir, is it convenient for us to leave the palace?"
The twelfth elder brother nodded and said: "It's convenient. Tomorrow you go to pay your respects to the nobles and just report. I will tell the guards about the arrangements for going out and prepare the manpower."
As for the carriage, it was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Twelve Fujin was a little excited and said: "I thought that before opening the palace, there would be no chance to leave the palace..."
The twelfth elder brother thought that Ma Qi's house was in the middle of the way to the Beiguan room, so he said: "After dinner the day after tomorrow, before returning to the palace, you can go and see your mother-in-law."
Twelve Fujin showed surprise and looked at Brother Twelve, speechless.
Brother Twelve looked away.
He is just learning from Ninth Brother. Ninth Brother loves going to Tutong Mansion the most, and he has to show off before and after every time he goes there...
