In the third house, Thirteen Fu Jin saw Ging Guo and was filled with joy when he saw the lunch box.
"I was worried that the dining room was not fully prepared, so I thought it was impossible, so I shamelessly went to beg Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Bai Guo said: "We in Fujin have said that we are all family members and don't need outsiders. If you have any inconvenience here, just send someone over."
Thirteenth Fujin asked someone to release the reward and said, "When everything is settled, I will go and pay my respects to Sister-in-law Ninth."
After leaving the third institute, Ging Guo went to the fourth institute.
Brother Fourteen was eating an apple, but the apple that had been left until now was a little crumbly.
While he was eating, he felt a little disgusted.
Seeing Bai Guo carrying the lunch box, his eyes lit up and he said, "Sister-in-law Jiu asked you to bring it, so it must be delicious!"
This is the recognition of ginkgo.
Bai Guo paid his respects and then said, "It's the pastry that we in Fujin asked people to prepare. I thought if your dining room is not fully equipped, I could give it a try."
The fourteenth elder brother smiled heartily and said: "Brother and his family are all here. I will not be an outsider. I will never bother Sister-in-law Ninth from now on."
Bai Guo listened with a smile and did not answer.
The fourteenth elder brother had a meal, but he also knew that "it depends on the owner to beat a dog."
This is someone close to my sister-in-law, and it is not his turn to teach her a lesson.
He asked someone to take the lunch box and also gave him a reward.
When Bai Guo left, he called a young eunuch and said, "Go to the Third Institute and ask about what Jiu Fujin sent to the Third Institute."
The little eunuch responded.
When he turned back, Brother Fourteen had already eaten one plate of door-nail meatloaf and was looking at the other plate, wondering whether to eat it or not.
"Returning to the master, Jiu Fujin sent someone to deliver a meal box to Sansuo. There were two plates of meat cakes, a plate of jujube paste cake, and a plate of kidney bean rolls." The little eunuch reported in a low voice.
The fourteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and wanted to understand the reason, and said to himself: "Huh! He pretends to be an enthusiastic person, but he is actually a snobbery! Prince Fujin can't eat the sweet pastry, but Prince Gege can't eat it?"
He was being picky like this, but he knew in his heart that this was the rule.
Without Fujin on my side, my sisters-in-law do not need to interact with the female relatives on my side, and there will be no sweet pastries.
Two masters came to the third house, which was another treatment.
Yes, Thirteenth Brother's Princess did not move to Haidian this time. The child was too young to be brought out, so Guarjia Princess and her daughter stayed in the palace.
The ones who came to the third house this time were the Thirteenth Brother and his wife.
The fourteenth elder brother brought two princesses here, but he was not a serious master.
The fourteenth elder brother is looking forward to his wedding.
Next year is the year of the draft, and the list of show girls must be reported to the etiquette department by the end of August at the latest.
When the time comes, the 14th prince's direct descendant, Fujin, will be selected among the young ladies of this year.
Ministry of Rites...
The fourteenth elder brother rolled his eyes, wondering if he should find an excuse to go to the third elder brother twice.
Looking back to the second half of the year, I can also inquire about the list of show girls.
In a blink of an eye, he thought that in addition to reporting to the Gift Department, the list of show girls would also be reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs before entering the palace, so he decided to find the twelfth prince, which was more convenient.
The key is that the twelfth elder brother is strict with his mouth. Even if he inquired about it in private, he would not publicize it.
If I were the third brother, he would have a big mouth, and that mouth would be looser than a woman's belt...
*
The fifth house, main house.
Ging Guo came back to life and took two purses.
"Both Thirteenth Fujin and Fourteenth Master were awarded high-level titles. Thirteenth Fujin said he would greet Fujin in two days, and Fourteenth Master said he would not disturb Fujin in the future..."
Bai Guo tells it truthfully.
Shu Shu was not surprised by the reactions from both places.
Thirteen Fujin has a cheerful temperament and is easy to get along with.
Brother Fourteen has been stumbling over the past two years, and his behavior has begun to shrink.
Except for the seventh elder brother and his wife, who are temporarily returning home, the six houses in the north are all full.
I guess the South Fifth Institute is also faster.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw movement outside.
It's Brother Jiu who is back.
"Didn't I say you won't be back until noon?"
Shu Shu said curiously.
Brother Jiu said: "I heard that Old Thirteen and Old Fourteen are here. I'm worried. Come back and have a look..."
As he said that, he looked to the west and said: "If the Fourteenth comes over, let's not spoil him. If we should pout, just push it back, so as not to get in trouble!"
Shu Shu said: "I'd better look good on the surface, otherwise it will appear that I am unfriendly to my younger brother."
Brother Jiu grinded his teeth and said, "What is this? In the early years, I had to respect my brothers, but now I have to be friendly to my brothers?"
Shu Shu thought about the ranking of Ninth Brother, and smiled, and said: "If you think about it from another perspective, I can not only fool around with the brothers above me, but also teach the brothers below me, wouldn't I feel comfortable?"
Brother Jiu did the math in his mind and said, "Speaking of which, I have an advantage. There are seven brothers at the top, but there are more than seven brothers at the bottom. If this continues, it will probably be two or seven."
Shu Shu thought about the history of Kangxi's prince number twenty-four, and now there is an additional youngest son of Concubine Yi, who is estimated to be twenty-five.
There are really more than a dozen of these brothers.
It's just that these little brothers at the back have no sense of presence.
What everyone can remember are the elder brothers before the 18th elder brother.
The trigger for the deposed prince, the tragedy of the eighteenth elder brother...
Whether it is Concubine Yi's eighteenth elder brother or Wang Guiren's son who has been promoted to his nineteenth elder brother, they all have a connection with him.
Shu Shu was a little dazed.
According to later speculation, if it is mumps, how to treat it?
Mumps is what is now known as "mumps". It is a common disease in children. If you get it once, you will be immune.
The reason for the high mortality rate is mostly due to complications.
Shu Shu wants to check the medical books.
Brother Jiu saw her stunned and said, "What's wrong?"
Shu Shu sighed and said: "I remembered what happened at Qibele Mansion, and I was a little scared. Come back and read more medical books with me..."
She didn't want to say the words "children are difficult to raise" because it felt unlucky.
However, today's imperial doctors all have their own inheritance. Even pediatricians may only be good at treating some diseases.
Shu Shu was a little worried.
After hearing this, Brother Ninth also frowned and said: "Three children died in Yuqing Palace, four children died in Prince Cheng County, two in Fourth Brother's family, one in Seventh Brother's family, one in Laoshi's family, and one in Twelfth Brother's family.
…”
I didn’t pay attention to this earlier and didn’t know, but it’s quite shocking after all.
"Quack doctor, quack doctor!"
Brother Jiu understood why Shu Shu wanted to read medical books by himself.
If you don't know much about it yourself, you will leave your child's life and death to the imperial doctor when something happens, which makes people uneasy.
"It would be great if there was medicine for emergency cases..."
Brother Jiu thought of Le Fengming and said, "Tomorrow I will send someone to Haidian to study wine recipes and see if there are any useful ones."
Patent medicines cannot be used alone, but they are effective for emergencies.
Just like the second elder brother of Baylor Mansion suffered from acne five years ago, if there was a better prescription for clearing away heat and detoxifying, and the high fever was gone, the child would not have to suffer from the sequelae of fever.
When talking about pediatric medicine, Brother Jiu thinks of Niguzhu.
"It's been several days. When did you get me back?"
Shu Shu was also a little worried about her daughter, but she didn't want to go and pick her up.
"The Imperial Grandmother is not a troublemaker. Since she is a rare niguru, let her stay with her for a few more days..."
Shu Shu said.
If they went to pick her up, the Queen Mother would definitely not keep the child.
Moreover, the Queen Mother will not mention picking up Ni Guzhu again in the future.
Brother Jiu said: "Seeing that everyone is here, there will be people who are worried."
"Just wait two more days..."
Shu Shu also knew that Ni Guzhu would easily attract criticism if he spent too much time in the North Garden.
After all, there are a lot of little princesses coming from Haidian this year. Currently, there are three princesses from the Crown Princess's house, two princesses from Chengjun Prince's Palace, a big princess from Wubeile Palace, and three and five princesses from Qibele Palace. There will be direct ones later.
There are three grids and four grids in the Prince's Mansion, and two grids in the Fourth Baylor Mansion.
With so many emperors and grandsons, it would be an eyesore for Niguzhu to stay alone in the North Garden.
"Wait for two more days. If the Imperial Grandmother hasn't sent Ni Guzhu back, I will ask the Imperial Grandmother to pay her respects to the Queen..."
Shu Shu thought of the Queen Mother's kindness and the Queen Mother's joy towards her great-granddaughter, and finally couldn't bear it and said.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's okay, no matter how kind the imperial grandmother is, our big princess is not as comfortable at home in the North Garden..."
