Shu Shu and Jiu Gege did not decide to set off today, but postponed the date by one day to avoid hasty preparations in the palace.
Early in the morning, Shu Shu brought a new belt and a new purse for Brother Nine to put on.
The belt is made of gold brocade, with gold and jade embroidered with red coral beads. The eyes of the goldfish are black agate; the purse is also gold, and there is also a miniature red goldfish on it.
This is a set, paired with a sapphire blue Ning silk coat and an indigo blue vest. The whole person looks in high spirits.
"Haha, the house is full of gold and jade..."
Brother Jiu looked at it and liked it very much.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "My 20th birthday is probably on the way this year. Today I wish to celebrate my birthday in advance."
Brother Ninth's birthday is August 27th. I don't know how long it will take Shengjia to be on the road. Maybe he arrived in Beijing at the end of August, maybe in early September, so Shu Shu prepared everything in advance.
Brother Ninth stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms and said, "Aren't you too fooling me? What's the difference between belts and purses and eighteenth and nineteenth birthdays?"
Shu Shu raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to do differently?"
Since the beating arrived in Rehe, Shu Shu had a reaction, and the couple had been alone.
Now that they were hugging each other, Brother Jiu felt itchy in his heart. He groped Shu Shu's lower back and said: "It will be four months or more when the capital comes..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu with a half-smile but said nothing.
Pooh!
This is a man who is suffering from the pain of pregnancy, but he cannot empathize with it and only thinks about the things between the bed.
Big face!
Brother Jiu lowered his head, leaned against Shu Shu's face, lowered his voice, and said: "You decided to think of it. When the time comes, I will serve you well..."
Shu Shu felt her face was hot, but she also reached out and hugged Brother Jiu.
As you mature, you also know how to be considerate of others...
The couple was sticky, and both felt a bit reluctant to part with each other.
"Don't send me away, I'll go out by myself..."
Brother Ninth said.
Shu Shu shook her head and said, "I want to send you off..."
It’s not just the couple’s feelings, it’s also what others are watching.
Especially that troublesome father-in-law.
He doesn't care whether it's hard for him to be pregnant or not, he only cares about whether he takes Brother Jiu into consideration.
The couple went from the house to the outside of the Prince's Villa.
The Thirteenth Brother and his wife next door have come out, but Thirteenth Fujin has not yet boarded the carriage.
It looked like he was waiting to say hello to Shu Shu.
The thirteenth elder brother is waiting for the ninth elder brother.
On Ninth Brother's side, Erhe and Chunlin were waiting here with their guards, guards, and Ninth Brother's horses.
He Yuzhu was guarding Brother Ninth Brother's carriage.
"Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Thirteen Fujin came over to say hello.
Shu Shu returned the greeting and said: "Hurry up and get in the car. We still have to wait in line, so don't delay."
Thirteen Fujin responded and got into the carriage.
Brother Thirteen also greeted Shu Shu, and then waited for Brother Nine to mount his horse.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but shook Shu Shu's hand, and said worriedly: "You have to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone. If you don't have the patience to wait for it, go back to your uncle's house to live for a while."
There are still twenty days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shu Shu, Jiu Gege and others will be on the road for seven to ten days. They will arrive in the capital a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Jiu Age said this.
Shu Shu nodded, looked at Brother Ninth and said: "After all, I am at home, everything is cheap, but here, spring is warm and autumn is cold, so remember to add more clothes, but you can't add too much at once, otherwise you will catch a cold and arouse
'Whooping cough', you still have to suffer..."
Brother Jiu said obediently: "Don't worry, I won't let you worry about it."
Shu Shu thought about how careless her ninth brother was, but she still felt uneasy. She turned around and told He Yuzhu: "Almond tea, lotus root powder and lily powder are all prepared. Take turns to make them. Make a bowl for me every day to moisten your lungs."
Get rid of dryness."
He Yuzhu responded hurriedly and respectfully.
The ninth elder brother then mounted his horse and followed the thirteenth elder brother to the gate of the palace.
Thirteen Fujin's carriage, together with the guards and servants of the two families, followed the two of them.
The guards and servants of Jiu Beile Mansion were divided into two, with half following Brother Jiu and the other half following Shu Shu back to the capital.
Among the guards, Erhe and Chunlin followed Brother Jiu, Cao Shun and Xing Jiang followed Shu Shu...
Brother Thirteen knew that his brother and sister-in-law had a good relationship, but when he saw the two of them being so clingy, he felt puzzled and said: "Brother Ninth, you and Sister-in-law Ninth have been married for four years and are already an old couple. Why are you still like this?"
?”
Even he and Thirteen Fujin have been getting along for a long time now, and their relationship is different from how they were just after their wedding.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "We are different from you, we love each other deeply, and the love between husband and wife will only become deeper and deeper..."
As for treating each other as guests, that's all nonsense.
These two people are so in love with each other that they wish they could get together. What's the point of being a distinguished guest?
The fourth elder brother and the eldest elder brother were riding in front. When they heard the movement behind them, they reined up their horses and waited for them. After hearing this sentence.
The eldest brother rolled his eyes and said to the fourth brother: "Look at the potential of this idea. There is nothing to show off. I wish I could talk about his fortune all day long!"
Fourth elder brother felt deeply.
When he was in the Hubu Yamen, he was shown off even more by Brother Jiu.
The two brothers looked at each other with disgust, but also a hint of envy.
What I envy is not only the compatibility between Ninth Prince and Shu Shu Qinse, but also the simple character of Ninth Prince.
Be content and happy.
As people grow older, their thoughts become more complex, they feel less satisfied, and their hearts become unhappy.
He is the only one among the princes who smiles all day long like Brother Jiu.
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Just by looking at the side dishes and seasoning packets prepared by Sister-in-law Jiu, I know how much I value you. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well out alone."
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "That's nothing, there are also various tea bags!"
The thirteenth elder brother said: "Thanks to your blessing, the road is going to be a lot easier. In addition to all kinds of bacon, pickled cabbage, pickled celery, pickled leeks and so on, the only new dishes in the imperial kitchen are radish and gada."
It’s really enough…”
Brother Jiu frowned after hearing this and said, "Haven't there been a lot of new recipes in the past few years? Why are they still like this..."
Because every time he goes out, he eats less food, so he hasn't noticed this yet.
Thirteenth Brother said: "If something needs to be stored for a long time, don't dare to change it easily."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu put the matter aside.
If you are not in your position, you will not pursue your political goals.
Even if he is in power, he will not point fingers at things he does not understand.
Some experiences need to be respected...

After the large army of Shengjia left, Shu Shu and Jiu Gege met up to see off the princesses.
Several princesses are all returning today.
No matter how cheerful he is, the death of a loved one is always filled with sadness.
Moreover, for the princess, being allowed to come to Rehe to pay homage is also a grace, and she cannot come by herself just by lifting her feet.
No one can guarantee that there will be grace next time.
Princess Chunxi burst into tears, Princess Rongxian choked with sobs, and the third princess reacted the least.
As the teams of various Mongolian princes left, the entire palace fell silent.
The Beijing banner men and horses who came with the retinue had already left with the holy driver.
Nowadays, the Rehe Palace is guarded by the guards and escorts from Baylor Mansion and Princess Mansion, as well as the 480 Banner Soldiers from Jinzhou Camp.
They were transferred here before for a temporary job, but as the Holy Emperor spent a summer here and decided to expand the Jehol Palace, these soldiers and horses were stationed here completely. In the past few months, a simple flag camp had been set up, and the Jinzhou Banner
Family members from the other side of the camp will gradually be transferred here to garrison.
Shu Shu returned to the Prince's Courtyard, feeling bored all alone.
The luggage is almost packed, except for her daily bedding and utensils, which will be packed tomorrow morning.
It happened that Cao Shun had delivered the account books of several shops this morning, so Shu Shu opened them and took a look.
The shop was closed a few days ago.
It's not because there are no customers, it's because everything brought from the capital has been sold out.
Shu Shu roughly flipped through it, and the profit looked good, but this did not include labor and rent.
Adding these two items together, the profit is not much.
But this is just the beginning. As long as you occupy the shop, you will make money.
At this moment, there was movement outside.
It's Jiu Ge Ge.
Shu Shu got up after hearing the news, feeling sad in her heart.
When they lived together in West Garden in the early years, the two sisters wished they could be inseparable every day.
During the southern tour, before the ninth elder brother came over, he was inseparable from Meng, and Meng was inseparable.
The two are similar in age, both are well-educated, have similar temperaments, and their relationship is heating up quickly.
However, due to the difference in status and the lack of long-term accumulation, it is like a mirage, lacking a foundation and falling quickly.
"Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Jiu Gege changed into the overcoat worn when seeing off guests and into homely clothes, and her expression became more relaxed and comfortable. She no longer had the forced smile before, and no longer had that indescribable and unexplainable tension.
Seeing this, Shu Shu became a little enthusiastic and said, "I was just bored and wanted to invite you over to kill time. My sister came just in time."
After hearing this, Jiu Gege smiled softly and said: "I remembered the time in the West Garden, when I disturbed Sister-in-law Jiu every day, either reading or playing chess..."
Shu Shu also remembered that time and said, "It's so fast. In the blink of an eye, four or five years have passed."
I remember the fireworks display in the West Garden as still colorful and impressive.
Jiu Gege's expression was dazed, and then his expression gradually became clear. He looked at Shu Shu and said: "I didn't think anything at first, but now I think about it. Every word that Sister-in-law Jiu persuaded me was from the bottom of my heart. It can be seen that Sister-in-law Jiu treats me sincerely, but I am confused.
, I don’t have a long memory and I took a detour..."
In the early days, she was also concerned about saving face. She always felt that her life was not good, which made her elders worry and made her sisters-in-law laugh.
Now that I think about it, I am over the top.
Shu Shu said: "It's not too late to understand now. My sister is a princess. You have to think about it yourself. No one outside the palace can make my sister feel wronged."
"Um……"
Jiu Gege nodded, with a hint of shame, and said: "Earlier, I read in books that people's hearts are changeable, and I always felt that they were in a very small minority. But now after reading them over the past few years, I realize that these words are completely humane, and they are all my fault.
I relaxed the rules right from the beginning.”
Shu Shu said: "It has nothing to do with my sister. In the final analysis, it's just bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Besides, people's hearts are fickle, so why doesn't anyone go to the front to stab you?"
For example, drunkards make trouble. Some go home and beat their wives and children, but they don't go to the yamen to be labeled as bureaucrats. There are some who smash things, but there are no people who send money around.
What is the reason? It’s just that no matter how drunk a drunkard is, he has a scale in his heart and knows how to weigh the pros and cons.
People's hearts are full of ghosts and dogs are evil, that's all...
