Brother Jiu was still standing at the door of the north room, not wanting to leave.
The uncle's wife came over and saw that the young couple were sticky and didn't say much, so she turned to the south room to see her little brother.
The little brother was still sleeping, and the wet nurse on duty and Xiao Chun were beside him.
Xiaotang is also next to Xiaochun, wearing new clothes.
Seeing Mrs. Bo come in, everyone got up.
Mrs. Bo looked at Xiao Chun and said, "Didn't Fujin ask you to go home?"
Today is New Year's Eve, Xiaochun still has her parents-in-law at home, so Shushu gave her two days off and asked her to go back today and come back on the second day of the new year.
Xiao Chun stood up and said, "I want to wait until little brother wakes up before going back."
It's a coincidence that at this moment, the little brother woke up and started to moan.
When Xiao Chun looked at it, he realized that he had peed.
Xiao Chun was given a clean meson, her butt was wiped, she was wrapped up again, and she was carried to the north room to find Shu Shu.
Mrs. Bo and Xiaotang also followed.
Brother Jiu is still standing at the door and has not left.
Shu Shu urged: "It's getting late. Let me go back and wash up. Then I will pick up the two children and save them from having to wait anxiously for me."
The ninth elder brother responded and came over to take a look at the younger elder brother before going back to the main room.
Ging Guo took Dong Yue to follow.
When Shu Shu met Xiao Chun, she also urged: "Didn't I agree that Xiao Tang will take care of my little brother these two days, and you can go home for the reunion dinner."
Xiao Chun agreed and planned to go home.
Shu Shu looked at Xiaotang and said, "Take the purse I packed this afternoon and pick out three big red ones."
Inside the bright red box is a pair of golden peanuts.
It’s second-rate among the New Year’s red envelopes.
"Fu Jin..."
Xiao Chun looked at the purse and hesitated.
Shu Shu was bored in the afternoon and packed her purse. She also knew about it, and thought it was for other princes' younger brothers. Little Gege, she didn't expect that her own family would also have a share.
"Keep it, this is for the three children. When I am out of confinement, you and Grandma Xing will bring the children in, and I will see them too..."
There are two grandchildren from the Xing family and a foster brother named Bo, a total of three children.
The eldest one is an ancient version of a left-behind child. His parents went to Yunnan to take care of the tea mountains for Shu Shu.
The one in the middle is the child left by Xianglan, and the youngest is Xiaochun's child.
Xiao Chun then accepted it and said: "Then this slave will accept it on their behalf."
Xiaochun did not leave immediately, but told Xiaotang that the little brother would have to nurse and wake up during the two days before leaving.
After the little brother had finished feeding, Xiaotang carefully carried him to the south room.
Mrs. Bo looked at Xiaotang's back and said, "Why do you want this girl to take care of the child? She doesn't let anyone take a break all year round."
Is there any girl around you that you can't spare?
Xiaotang was in charge of the dining room. He had few free days throughout the year. He finally ate New Year's food during the Chinese New Year. The dining room didn't open much fire. After a few free days, he was called over to take care of his little brother.
Shu Shu whispered: "I'm afraid that she will regret it. Let her take care of the children for a few days to see if she changes her mind. I can take care of them for a day, but it's different in the end."
Her world includes her husband and children.
When Xiaotang came to her when he was six or seven years old, he would always circle around her.
Xiaotang is one year older than Shu Shu, and will be twenty-two soon.
If you delay any longer, even if you change your mind and want to get married, you will only be able to fill the house as a stepmother.
Mrs. Bo also treated girls like Shu Shu from childhood to adulthood, and said: "I see that this girl is stubborn and will not change her mind easily."
Shu Shu said: "I will give it a try and won't force her. If she still insists on doing this, I will let her help Grandma Qi in the future."
After hearing this, Mrs. Bo couldn't help frowning and said: "How old are you, that you spend all day thinking about these useless things?"
Shu Shu hurriedly apologized and said: "I feel sorry for Grandma Qi. How old is she? It has been very hard these past few years. In the future, Fengsheng and Akdan will always have to separate their courtyards. When the time comes, she will not be able to do anything else, so let Qi
Mammy takes care of Fengsheng, and Xiaotang takes care of Akdan."
In fact, it was Shu Shu who was afraid.
Life, old age, illness and death are really uncontrollable things.
No one can guarantee that they will die in good health.
Just like this time, if something happens to her, everyone else has someone to rely on, except Xiaotang who is like duckweed.
She is a stranger to her family.
If we really want the new Fujin to come in and clean up the old ones, there won't even be a place to rely on.
Thinking like this, Shu Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Bo directly took a milk candy and stuffed it into her mouth and said: "Don't think about these nonsense anymore. I haven't thought about going up the mountain yet, but you are just thinking about it."
After hearing this, Shu Shu hurriedly said: "On New Year's Day, you are not afraid of taboos and say anything?"
The uncle said: "Everyone has their own fate, just worry about yourself, don't waste your energy thinking about these messy things..."
*
In the main room, study room.
There is a Kang table on the Kang table, and there are all kinds of knick-knacks on the Kang table.
Brother Jiu has played with the children before, but this is the first time he is alone with them like this.
Brother Jiu dug out all the gadgets he could find in the study, intending to use them to comfort the children.
Afraid that he could not take care of the two children by himself, he even called He Yuzhu over.
As for Zhou Song, he went with Cao Shun to deliver new year's plates to various houses.
As a result, the situation in front of me was different from what Brother Jiu had expected.
Fengsheng sat obediently, and Akdan didn't even look at the toys.
The two children are not naughty and are easy to handle.
Could it be that they are not familiar with their Amma because of their absence?
Brother Jiu reflected for a moment, then picked up a kaleidoscope and said: "This one is different from yours, it is of another color..."
As he spoke, he took another nine-link ring and said, "This nine-link ring is also different from yours. This one is made of jade, and the sound is clear and crisp."
Fengsheng said: "Enie showed us, it's Enie's toy, leave it to Enie, we are no longer children."
Akdan had a look of condemnation on his little face and said: "Ama was not good and took Enie's things..."
??????55.??????
Brother Ninth is chatty, these two little guys have pretty good memories.
He Yuzhu suppressed a smile at the side.
The two little brothers are both smart and clever. When my master was six years old, he was not as clever as him.
"Why aren't you children anymore? Don't say you are four years old next year, even if you are forty years old, you are still children in the eyes of Ama and Enie..." Brother Jiu said harshly.
Fengsheng heard this, thought about it carefully, and said: "When Enie moves back, we can play with Enie..."
Akdan immediately looked towards the west wing and said, "Then...can't we go now?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said seriously: "No, you are recuperating. You are going in and out. The door curtains are air-conditioned, which is not good for you. When you come back, what do you want?"
Look at her, look at her again,"
The key is not to start this thing, otherwise Akdan will be thinking about going to the West Wing every day.
If you stop him when the time comes, the little guy will be sad, but if you don't stop him, it will be tiring.
Shu Shu looked energetic, just watching. During the puerperium period, it was better to meditate and recuperate.
Akdan understood and nodded: "Well, then Ama should go less. Ama is bigger and can bring more air conditioning."
Brother Ninth: "..."
He is really a filial child, but he doesn’t think about being filial to his own Amma.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was quiet, there was movement outside.
It's the New Year's plate from the palace.
Brother Jiu looked at Cui Baisui and said, "Did the emperor send the guards here, or who did they come from?"
Cui Baisui said: "It's Manager Wei who's here."
Brother Jiu immediately said: "Then why are you delaying? Please come in quickly..."
With that said, he told He Yuzhu: "Don't be silly, I will go and greet you..."
He Yuzhu agreed and followed Cui Baisui out.
After a while, He Yuzhu led Wei Zhu in, and each of them carried a food box.
Brother Jiu stood up and lowered his hands, facing the direction of Qianqing Palace, respectfully took one of the food boxes, looked at the other and said, "Which of the remaining portion belongs to Lao Shi?"
Although the princes have different titles, they are not going to court to celebrate the New Year, so they must be talking about family rituals.
The year plates given out by the palace are given in order of eldest and youngest according to previous years.
Jiubele Mansion is the penultimate stop.
Wei Zhu shook his head and said: "That is the reward given by the emperor to Jiu Fujin. The emperor said that there is no need to alarm Jiu Fujin. Just ask Master Jiu to accept it as well..."
As he spoke, he took another food box from He Yuzhu's hand.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu quickly put down the food box in his hand and took another portion with both hands.
"There are two copies of the annual calendar. This is the only one for our house, right?"
Wei Zhu smiled and said: "This is the dignity of Jiuye and Jiufujin..."
Brother Jiu immediately beamed.
Finally, Fujin’s hard work was not in vain. Khan Ama was showing others that Fujin had done a good job in taking care of his 19th brother and 17th brother.
He pointed at the two children and said: "Have you seen them before, can you still tell which one is the eldest brother and which one is the second brother?"
The two little brothers were sitting on the edge of the kang. When they saw a stranger coming, they both got off the kang.
Wei Zhu looked over and saw two pink and jade-carved children standing next to the kang, their young faces looking at him curiously.
Although the faces of the brothers are vaguely similar, they can still be clearly seen.
The eldest brother has a heroic look between his eyebrows and looks more calm and gentle.
The second elder brother has exquisite facial features, and his eyebrows are a bit like that of Concubine Yi. He looks away after just one glance, and is colder than the eldest elder brother.
"This is the eldest brother, this is the second brother..."
Wei Zhu guessed it right.
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "Haha, I finally have some insight, I guess..."
He said to the two children: "This is Wei Shuda, a friend of Amma. Let's meet him. We should be more polite when we see him in the future."
The two children have begun to learn etiquette, and they hit Qianer when they saw this.
Wei Zhu hurriedly held each other up with one hand and said: "It can't be done..."
"Ha! If you want to save red envelopes, I'm telling you, there's no way!"
Brother Ninth said from the sidelines.
Seeing that Brother Jiu did not change his tune, the two children continued to worship him.
Wei Zhu avoided it, bowed and returned the salute, and said: "Then I will wish you two young masters a happy New Year in advance..."
He had to go to the Prince's Mansion in Dunjun, but he couldn't stay long, so he took out two brand-new purses from his sleeves and put one in the hands of the two children.
The two brothers looked at Brother Ninth.
Brother Jiu said: "Take it, thank you Wei Shuda."
The two brothers collected their wallets and said in unison: "Thank you Wei Shuda..."
Wei Zhu took out two more, handed them to He Yuzhu and said, "These belong to Da Gege and Little Brother. You can forward them to me later."
He Yuzhu answered.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows, are you still being harsh?
Four portions of this purse were prepared, and all the children had their share.
When Wei Zhu was about to leave, Brother Jiu gave him the purse he had prepared and said, "I took it with me when I went to Qianqing Palace yesterday to announce the good news. I didn't find a chance to give it to you."
The wallet is heavy.
Wei Zhu knew that Brother Jiu loved bounty money the most, so he was not polite to him.
He went to the Prince's Palace of Dunjun next door to deliver the New Year's plate, completed his errands, and then got into the carriage and returned to the palace.
Under the horn lamp, he took out the purse given by Brother Jiu and opened it.
Inside is a bunch of things, including several mini versions of Buddhist instruments.
On one end is the Eight Treasures Compass, on the other is the Vajra, and in the middle are the Golden Pixiu and the Golden Gourd.
These are all to ward off evil spirits and are suitable for the New Year.
This string of things can be played with or used directly as a bracelet. It looks exquisite and interesting.
Wei Zhu grew up in the temple. Looking at these things, he felt happy and had a bit of a smile on his face.
It's also gold, but it's not heavy, but Wei Zhu still can't put it down...
I would like to recommend a good novel to everyone, "I Have a Demon-Suppressing Hotel" written by Gou Dada. Those who are interested can read it.
