Jiubele Mansion, upper room in the main courtyard.
The lights were brightly lit in the west room, and a kang table was set up. In addition to Shu Shu and Madam Bo, there were children in a circle.
Seventeenth Princess and Nineteenth Brother picked it up at noon and played with the three Fengsheng brothers for a long time in the afternoon.
On the kang table, there are mostly meals suitable for children.
Mashed potatoes with cherry sauce, pan-fried chicken nuggets, fried shrimp cakes, cabbage minced meat rolls, thumb buns, millet steamed cakes, gold and silver steamed buns and sesame sauce pancakes.
Except for the 19th elder brother, who needs to be fed by the nanny, the other children can eat on their own.
A flat plate was placed in front of each person, and they either ate with a spoon or grabbed it with their hands.
Several children ate with gusto.
Ni Guzhu loves golden steamed buns the most, with a crispy outer crust.
Feng Sheng likes the thumb buns. The filling in the middle is filled with shrimp meat, which is chewy and chewy.
This dish, which has little salt and oil, is naturally not suitable for Mrs. Uncle’s taste.
Madam Bo always ate very little in this evening meal, so she ate half a bowl of white porridge with eight-treasure pickles.
Shu Shu watched the children all afternoon and was already hungry, so she sandwiched chicken pieces with sesame pancakes and added a lot of shredded mustard greens to make sesame pancakes sandwiched with meat patties. She ate several of them.
When Ni Guzhu saw it, he immediately pointed to the sesame cake and asked for chicken nuggets.
The sesame cake was only the size of a chess piece, so Shu Shu made her a sesame cake with meat and handed it to Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu grabbed it with his hand and took a big bite, unable to lift his head from the food.
When Fengsheng and Akdan met, they both looked at Shu Shu eagerly.
Maybe children born from the same sibling are like this, even if he has it, I want it, and if she eats it, I will eat it too.
If you don't put them together, it's fine. If you put them together, triplicate is the standard.
Shu Shu did it for them and their brothers too.
The nineteen-year-old brother was being fed mashed potatoes by his grandma. He was eating so well that he didn't notice anything else.
Shiqi Gege looked at her nephew, then at her niece, hesitating whether to speak.
Shu Shu knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so she directly made one and handed it over.
"Thank you sister-in-law..."
Shiqi Gege took it with both hands, thanked her obediently, and ate the sesame seed cakes in a graceful manner.
There were only a few people in total, and the children were not noisy.
But this room seemed lively.
Shu Shu stayed with her for most of the day, her ears were buzzing, and she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
After the dining table was removed and the children were allowed to dry their sweat, the nanny was asked to wrap them up in a bun and carry them to their respective residences.
The originally noisy house immediately became quiet.
Shu Shu simply freshened up and then went to the west to lie down.
Ging Guo came in with a footbath and said, "Slave, please massage Fujin's feet?"
Although Xiaosong is no longer in the main courtyard, Baiguo, together with Twelfth Moon and Dongyue, have all learned some massage from her.
Shu Shu stood up, waved her hand and said, "No, I'll just make bubbles."
Now she can't walk a few steps a day and her feet don't hurt, but there is some edema.
Bai Guo only returned to the main courtyard from Ning'an Hall to serve today. This was because Brother Jiu was not at home and he was worried about Shu Shu.
She remembered something and said, "Fu Jin, the clothes from Seventeen Gege and Nineteenth Brother were sent by the palace. They don't fit well. Seventeenth Gege's clothes are too small, and Nineteenth Brother's clothes are also a bit tight."
Shu Shu laughed after hearing this.
Led by Ni Guzhu, the originally quiet Shiqi Gege also ran around the house.
The stomach of the little bird, which was originally unable to eat more than two mouthfuls, also grew bigger.
After eating well, my originally thin body suddenly became plump.
There is also the 19th brother, who has just started to eat complementary foods. He is very strong and is much fatter than when he came.
Who would have thought that in just one and a half months, two children would undergo such a big change?
The clothes I was given as a gift are not very suitable.
Shu Shu said: "Put it away as it is and take it back to the palace for them."
Fortunately, the Baylor Mansion had already prepared a lot of new clothes for the two princes and princesses, enough for a change of clothes.
After Shu Shu washed her feet and got on the kang, Ging Guo would go to the next kang to watch the night.
Shu Shu asked her to sit by the kang and said, "You and Zhenzi are the same age. You are already nineteen in the next year. It's time to think about the future..."
Ginguo and Zhenzi's family are undercover by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are manpower assigned by Shu Shu and Brother Jiu when they were in the second house.
Therefore, when two people get married, they have more choices.
In addition to the people here in Jiubele Mansion, you can also make decisions at home and get married at the home of Baoyi people in Shangsanqi.
Shu Shu doesn't like to worry about this.
Although this woman's marriage is not a matter of life and death, who knows whether her life will be good or bad in the future.
If you live a good life, forget about it; if you live a bad life, you still have to worry about it.
After hearing this, Bai Guo felt a little shy and said: "My slave Ama told Enie a long time ago that they have little knowledge and let me make my own decision. I like someone, but I am afraid that I will be too high. How about you, Fujin?" Help the slave to check the details?"
Shu Shu felt a little confused after hearing this.
Ging Guo is her personal maid, working as an errand in the house, and the number of men she can see is limited.
She thought for a moment, looked at Bai Guo and said, "Is it Gui Yuan?"
Shu Shu can remember the names of the officials in this mansion. The only ones who are not married are the Guo Luo Luo brothers, Xing He and Yuan Bao.
The Xing family is a member of the household, Yuan Bao is stupid and has no future, and the only ones who can make Ging Guo talk about high places are the Guo Luo Luo brothers.
Bai Guo nodded and said generously: "He is the only one left in Mr. Gui's family. These days are quiet, and it is easy to return to the house as an errand."
Shu Shu thought about the identities of these two people.
The Baiguo family is just an ordinary servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and both father and brother are ordinary, not high-ranking officials.
Although Gui Yuan is working as an errand in Baylor Mansion, he is still a member of the Three Banners. He also has the hereditary coat and collar of the Guo Luoluo clan, and his children and grandchildren have a promising future.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting things to come!
Bai Guo is the person next to Shu Shu, and this identity is raised.
So it’s not too high a climb.
After all, everyone knows that since Xiaochun and Walnut went out, Gingguo was the first person in front of Shu Shu.
There are several flag subordinates and coaters under Brother Jiu's name, and those who can talk to me have all inquired about Ging Guo's marriage.
If you really want to talk about it, people around Shu Shu are promising to people around Brother Jiu, just like Walnut is promising to Gao Bin.
The difference is that Walnut has an uncle who is an official.
Gingguo, among the few relatives, does not have a grade, and is the bottom among the upper three flags.
Gao Bin was just a subordinate whom Brother Ninth had taken care of, unlike Guiyuan who was Ninth Brother's cousin.
One increase and one decrease.
This marriage seems a bit inappropriate to outsiders.
Shu Shu and Ging Guo had been master and servant for four or five years, and they knew that she did not care about Gui Yuan because she was climbing a high tree, but that she had no choice.
When she followed Shu Shu, the only men she could see throughout the year were the ones in Baylor Mansion.
This matter of marriage requires mutual consent.
Shu Shu asked, "How does he treat you when you meet him on weekdays?"
Bai Guo said: "Those who behave themselves properly, who look at their noses with their eyes, and their hearts with their noses, will not take a direct look at this slave."
Shu Shu was not surprised after hearing this.
Guiyuan had been the eldest brother of the ninth prince, lived in the palace for ten years, and could not make any mistakes according to the rules.
Even if the girl next to the mistress is not a reserve member of the housewife, she is not something outsiders can play with.
Shu Shu said: "When I come back, ask him if he has any plans..."
When Gui Yuan was first on duty here, he discussed a marriage once, but as he was the grandson of Chengzhong, he started to observe his grandfather's filial piety without waiting for the ceremony, so the marriage fell through.
Guidan's side was similar. He had been arranging marriage arrangements since the 37th year of his marriage. However, three years later, something happened to Guo Luoluo's family. He also attended the funeral of his grandfather and then his mother, so he postponed it.
Bai Guo followed Shu Shu, looked at Xiao Chun, Walnut and other sisters who all made their own decisions on marriage affairs and had rules and regulations, and said: "My mother's family cannot borrow the money, and the dowry is saved by me. If Gui Ye is in the heart,
There is already a candidate, so Fujin will help the slave hide some of his little thoughts to avoid embarrassing others and losing face."
She just felt that this person was a good choice. Even if he climbed a little higher, he would still be within reach. She had no intention of choosing him.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Don't worry, it won't cause a fuss..."
Ging Guo, Shu Shu probably has a direction.
I just don’t want to marry outside, I just want to come back and work as an errand like Xiaochun.
Ging Guo is not a reckless person.
Even though Guiyuan didn't express anything when the two of them were dealing with each other, his attitude must have been warm and polite, which is why Gingo had this idea.
So there is a 50-50 chance that they are interested in each other.
If Guiyuan is not suitable, look for someone with a simple population from a banner family.
Whether the flag belongs to another family or the coat belongs to another family, if it is assigned to the name of the ninth elder brother, he will be the servant of the ninth elder brother.
Being able to marry Fujin's confidant girl is a good thing that they can't ask for.
Anyway, I am expecting to give birth, and it will take a year or two before I can release Ginkgo, so I can slowly choose the candidate.
Of the four palace servants who came to the second house at the same time, there are still three left in the house now.
Walnut got married and is now the wife of a county magistrate in Xianghe.
Peanut doesn't marry, but manages the sewing room.
There is also a Hazelnut, who is a servant of Concubine Yi's family. Together with Baiguo and Gengeng, he followed Xiaotang in the dining room in the early years. Later, when Mrs. Bo came over, he went to Ning'antang and is now in charge of the dining room of Ning'antang.
Ginkgo, originally called longan, was named after Shu Shuqi.
Later, Guiyuan returned to Beijing from Shengjing and worked as an errand in the Prince's Mansion. Because of his high status, Guiyuan was renamed Ginkgo.
Thinking of this, Shu Shu raised her eyebrows.
Could it be that the fate between the two of them was already decided when she named them in the thirty-seventh year?
*
Back yard.
Brothers Guidan and Guiyuan are talking.
Guidan's family has a house. The house they were given outside Di'an Gate does not require a yard. On weekdays, when they don't want to go home, they rest at Guiyuan's place.
Seeing Cao Shun moving and occupying the last two courtyards, Gui Dan looked at Gui Yuan and said, "I told you to tell Master Jiu to move to the front. If you don't move, there will be no place to move in the future!"
When I get married and have children, it will be inconvenient to live in this small courtyard.
They have been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood, and they have slaves and maidservants. When the time comes, they will definitely need more manpower.
The hostess must be separated from the person in front.
Gui Yuandao: "Don't be in a hurry..."
Fuqing and Erhe came here to gain qualifications.
When you have enough experience, it's time to move up.
As for Zhang Tingzhan, he was promoted to the rank of Sixth Minister, and he also reached the rank conferred by the imperial city, so he would no longer live in the small courtyard.
Guidan hummed and said, "It doesn't matter whether you have a front or a backyard. When you get married, it won't be convenient for me to stay overnight."
Guiyuan said: "Isn't there still an empty courtyard? Then you can say hello to Master Jiu and clear one out."
Guidan shook his head and said: "No, I can't make room in my house, otherwise my Ama has a soft ear, so she should listen to my stepmother's advice and separate me."
A year after his wife's death, his wife remarried, and she was an old girl with a red belt.
In the early years, it was common for the eldest son of the Eight Banners to be separated from his family.
In recent years, it has become less common.
Guidan was originally the legitimate son and only son, but now that he has a stepmother, things are no longer easy.
Guiyuan said: "You have Zuoling, what else do you have at home?"
Separating it is not necessarily a bad thing.
Guidan said: "We can't just look at these. We are the mother's family, and the female family members are qualified to deliver signs to the palace to pay respects. I can't give up this qualification to my stepmother, lest she will be tempted to look back and have other thoughts. It's not easy. The family is able to survive peacefully, but it cannot withstand the ups and downs."
Only then did Guiyuan realize that he had thought so much.
He said: "Now that the fifth master and the ninth master are opening a house, the situation is different from the early years. In the early years, the two masters were young, so the Guo Luoluo family could use the name of the empress to dominate outside. Now there are two masters. Look, it won’t reach that point.”
Guidan thought about it, but he was careful not to make a big mistake, so he still couldn't slack off.
His abilities are limited and he cannot do his best for the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother. He can only watch his family not to hold back the two princes...
