Chapter 1958: Pulling the seedlings to encourage growth
Chapter 1959: Pulling the seedlings to encourage growth
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi looked at Shu Shu wearing new clothes and the jewelry on her head was more exquisite than usual. She smiled and said, "Lao Jiu is back?"
Shu Shu's voice was full of joy and she said: "Well, I thought I wouldn't be able to get home until noon, but I came back before breakfast, and I asked if my wife and Uncle Eighteen were here."
Yi Fei was originally worried that Brother Jiu would be uncomfortable after all the hard work, but she felt relieved when she saw Shu Shu's expression.
It seems that everything is fine with Brother Jiu, otherwise Shu Shu would not look like this.
Yifei is also in a good mood.
When the Holy Emperor comes back, the prince will no longer need to enter the South Study Room.
In the past few years, as the prince moved into the South Study Room, not only the third elder brother became famous, but also the fifth elder brother also had people around him.
As time went by, Concubine Yi was afraid that it would become a disaster.
She glanced at Wufujin and Guarjia again.
Wufujin had a slight smile on his face, and Guarjia looked respectful with a low eyebrow.
Yifei moved her eyes away and no longer wanted to pay attention to the affairs of Wubeile Mansion.
With the Queen Mother here, it would be difficult for her to interfere.
However, she would not be as confused as Concubine Rong, insisting on lifting up the side room to suppress Wu Fujin.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while and then went to Ningshou Palace.
The atmosphere in Ningshou Palace is different.
Among the concubines in the harem, not only the older ones are older, but the young concubines and noble ladies are also more beautiful than usual.
The smile on the Queen Mother's face never stopped.
"Your Majesty, Longevity, no banquet outside. There is a small banquet in Qianqing Palace. How are the preparations going?"
The Queen Mother asked Concubine Hui.
Concubine Hui wanted to stand up and reply, but the Queen Mother stretched out her arms and said, "Sit down and talk."
Concubine Hui turned sideways and said: "The menu has been decided, and the seating arrangements are the same as the New Year's Eve banquet."
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "Okay, okay, the Emperor has been working hard on his southern tour, and it just so happens that you can accompany him for a relaxing day..."
Having said this, she looked at Concubine Yi again and said: "The emperor asked you to clean up the side hall of Qixiang Palace, have you cleaned it up?"
Concubine Yi glanced at Concubine Rong, nodded and said, "Everything is sorted."
Someone went to see Mr. Wang.
There are new people again.
Wang Guiren is still quiet and gentle, and there is nothing unusual about him.
Both the Crown Princess and the princes Fujin understood the meaning of the Queen Mother's words.
There is a new member coming to the palace.
She was actually placed in the Sixth Palace of the West, so she was at least a concubine.
Otherwise, just stay in Qianqing Palace and make a big promise, and there is no need to clean up the house...
When everyone came out of Ningshou Palace, San Fujin held Si Fujin's arm and whispered: "This is another royal nobleman, a high concubine..."
Both of them were beauties brought back from their southern tour.
The former gave birth to fifteenth elder brother, sixteenth elder brother and nineteenth elder brother, and already enjoyed concubine status.
Now there is no imperial seal, but there is a place for greetings in Ningshou Palace.
The latter gave birth to twenty elder brothers. As long as he stood still, he would be the youngest son of the emperor.
Sifujin did not answer the call.
Qi Fujin looked forward to it and said, "I don't know when I can see the real person."
Only concubines who have been granted the title of noble are eligible to come to Ningshou Palace to pay their respects, and they can also see them; if they are not granted the title of noble, they cannot meet in person.
Sanfujin said: "If I see you later, I will tell you..."
Shu Shu stood by and thought about Kangxi's concubines in his later years.
It seems that no one loves more than the noble king.
Wang Guiren and He Concubine were the two most favored people in Kangxi's later years.
What I brought this time should be lost to everyone.
After leaving Shenwumen, everyone dispersed.
Shu Shu was still sitting with Shi Fujin.
Shi Fujin asked curiously: "Didn't Sister-in-law Jiu say that she wanted to change the shop at the front door into a fish shop? It hasn't been changed yet. Why did she come back from Tianjin to transport shrimps and crabs?"
Shu Shu patted his forehead and said, "I forgot about it a long time ago."
One pregnancy makes you stupid for three years, maybe that’s what I’m talking about.
When Shi Fujin heard this, he was very happy.
"Normally, Sister-in-law Ninth is very proficient in eating and drinking, but there are times when she is negligent..."
Shu Shu himself laughed and said: "Last year, I sent people to Tianjin Weicai twice to buy some. I didn't think about opening a shop at all. I lost my mind."
Shifu Jin said: "Then Sister-in-law Jiu remembered it, but she still can't open it."
"open!"
Shu Shu nodded without hesitation.
The grandmother-in-law was talking about homely things, and the carriage arrived at Baylor's Mansion.
The two of them went to their respective homes.
Brother Jiu was leaning on the kang in the study, holding a longevity gift list in his hand with a wicked smile on his face.
Shu Shu opened the curtain and came in, and found something was wrong.
The gift list seems to be a bit too long.
Brother Jiu heard the noise and looked up at the door. When he saw her coming back, he sat up and said, "I just drafted a new gift list."
Shu Shu didn't look anxiously and said, "I'll change my clothes first and then look."
I always feel that when I go out for a walk, my body is all gray.
It's not that Shu Shu is being pretentious, because the spring winds in Beijing are so strong.
Even though they walked around the palace twice and took carriages the rest of the time, they still felt unclean.
Shu Shu returned to the next room, changed into some old and new home clothes, and washed her face before entering the study again.
"Have a look..."
Brother Jiu was a little impatient and handed the gift list to Shu Shu.
"Did you get something good from Jiangnan?"
Shu Shu asked while taking it.
This is the list of longevity gifts.
It will be presented to the palace tomorrow.
Brother Jiu didn't nod or shake his head, indicating to Shu Shu to look at it by himself.
Shu Shu lowered his head and looked over. The first item was a golden silk thread with good luck for thousands of years, followed by various gold and jade vessels, the same as the previous gift list.
Just looking at the back, she discovered the increase.
Four birthday gifts for the eldest son of Nine Belles, four birthday gifts for the second son of Nine Belles, four birthday gifts for the third son of Nine Belles, and six birthday gifts for the eldest daughter of Nine Belles.
Shu Shu raised her head, looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Isn't it too ostentatious?"
In the gift list of other princes' mansions, only a few of the emperor's grandsons who went to study in the study had separate birthday gifts.
Brother Ninth said: "This is filial piety. What are the differences between elder and younger? Isn't the second and third child the grandson of Khan Amma? The granddaughter of the emperor cannot show filial piety. How can there be such a reason?"
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
This behavior is somewhat unexpected.
There is no example of following his brothers.
It is easy to offend the princes above.
But everyone knows that Brother Jiu's actions are not thoughtful, and it is not a bad thing.
She pointed and finally said: "Why are there two more pieces of Nigu Zhu here?"
Brother Jiu said: "It needs to be more conspicuous so that Khan Amma will remember this granddaughter. It will be easy for us to ask for grace in the future."
Shu Shu praised: "I have thought carefully..."
Brother Jiu said: "It's okay for Xiaosan here. I still want to send him to Akdan's study. Feng Sheng is too kind-hearted. I don't worry about being alone in the palace. They have two brothers as companions."
You don’t have to worry about being bullied.”
Shu Shu was very moved after hearing this.
She wasn't worried either.
If Kangxi could really be impressed by the emperor and grandson here, others would be offended.
It's not a good thing to see a turmoil about to arise, and to be too popular.
Should I hate it, I still have to hate it.
The couple separated for two months, but since the pregnancy was diagnosed in Rehe last year, they have not been close to each other for more than half a year.
After talking about the business, the couple looked at each other, their eyes a little drawn.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but stretched out his hand, hugged Shu Shu in his arms, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, I've lost weight."
Shu Shu didn't dare to let him go in broad daylight.
How many pairs of eyes in this house are watching.
Shu Shu immediately said: "The children are in class, haven't you looked after the children yet?"
Brother Jiu said: "Just thinking about the gift list."
Shu Shu said: "Then go over and take a look? At this moment, Master Cao happens to be teaching the Three Character Classic..."
Brother Jiu knew that it was broad daylight and the couple could not act recklessly, so he said with a bit of reluctance: "Then let's go and take a look first. They are all debts. I will give him a dozen good things at once..."
Shu Shu glanced at him and said: "I will teach them economics later and let them make money for me..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Well, I'll teach you well..."
Having said this, he shook his head and said: "No need for Ni Guzhu, let her be a happy little princess!"
Shu Shu knew that this was partly due to her eagerness to love her daughter, and partly out of helplessness.
Look old at the age of three.
Ni Guzhu has a simple temperament, doesn't like to use his brain, and has no success.
Shu Shu was a little worried.
I really don’t dare to marry far away, otherwise I will be deceived and easily suffer a loss.
Brother Jiu had calmed down a bit, and the couple arrived outside the study room on East Road.
Cao Yueying was teaching the Three Character Classic.
"The three principles are the righteousness of the king and his ministers, the love of father and son, and the obedience of husband and wife..."
Brother Jiu stood outside the house and listened for a while. He felt something was wrong and asked Shu Shu: "How did I learn this? Did Lao Cao ask for leave?"
The full text of the "Three Character Classic" has more than a thousand words, and the paragraph just now is at the beginning of one or two hundred words.
Shu Shu said: "My child is young. I will write it down today and forget it tomorrow. Now I am learning four sentences every day and reviewing the previous ones in three days."
Brother Jiu said: "At this speed, the Three Character Classic can be taught for one year!"
Shu Shu said: "If you have learned everything thoroughly, it doesn't matter if it takes one year. You can't try to encourage the students to grow. Otherwise, you will be tired of learning and it will be even more worrying."
When it comes to cultivating the seedlings, Brother Jiu was still frightened and said: "You are right, you can't teach too fast. I didn't like to study back then, just because I heard things in a muddle and didn't understand, so I didn't like to learn anymore..."
