Chapter 50 A small speech

 Shu Shu did not speak, but stretched out her arms to hug Brother Jiu.

I don’t know whether it’s to remember my youth or to be touched by this moment.

Brother Jiu didn't move and hugged Shu Shu back for a while.

The two of them were like this, inseparable, and their breathing could be heard.

Xiao Chun originally had something to report, so he saw it through the window and stopped quickly.

After a while, Shu Shu calmed down, let go of her hand, and withdrew from Brother Jiu's arms. With red eyes, she said sincerely: "It's okay, I just think I'm so nice... I proposed to you to marry you at that time, my Ama, uh

Nedou was worried that he couldn't sleep well all night long, because he was afraid that I would not be favored by the master, and would be angry and bullied... I was also uneasy and pretended to be calm... I just didn't expect that the master would be so good..."

"What's the point? Is it worth this?"

Brother Jiu said something disgusting, but he took off the veil and gently helped Shu Shu wipe away her tears.

Just two people, you look at me and I look at you.

Xiao Chun stood outside the door for a long time. When he saw the two of them sitting across the kang table, he came in with two boxes: "Master Shi sent someone and left something behind. He said he knew what it was."

Brother Jiu nodded and said to Shu Shu: "It's the old ginseng I asked for from Lao Shi..."

Xiaochun placed the two boxes on the Kang table.

Shu Shu opened one of the flat boxes that was about two feet long. Inside was a prepared ginseng. The ginseng roots were intact and the head of the ginseng was about three inches long. It was indeed old enough.

"Good ginseng of this vintage is hard to come by..."

Shu Shu sighed: "We don't want to take advantage of this in vain. Let's ask people to inquire and go back to find someone similar to make up for Uncle Ten..."

Brother Jiu nodded with a smile on his face.

Is this the "tacit understanding" between husband and wife?!

They both had the same plan.

He looked at Shu Shu, feeling a little excited in his heart.

He could see that she was indeed a generous person. Whether it was towards Eighth Brother or Lao Shi, she was not stingy like ordinary women.

But……

Only for him...

In the beginning, I was always fussy and refused to give in a penny...

Was it because you fell in love with him at that time that you were unique?

How could Shu Shu guess what Brother Jiu was thinking?

She put away the ginseng and opened another box.

Inside are daggers and wrenches, a total of three daggers and four wrenches.

The dagger is slightly smaller than an adult dagger, not much different, but more delicate.

The wrench fingers are divided into two sizes.

It's all brand new stuff.

Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth: "Thank you, Master..."

Not only thank him for preparing these things, but also thank him for preparing seven items, including not only the six cousins ​​of Dong E's family, but also Fu Song's share.

Brother Jiu also saw clearly what was in the box and was not greedy for credit. He shook his head and said: "I asked Lao Shi for the old ginseng. I think Lao Shi prepared this himself..."

"ah?"

Shu Shu was quite surprised and hesitated: "Since it's Uncle Ten's, I'd better keep it properly... When my younger siblings come in from now on, I'll keep it for thought..."

She just finished talking about this yesterday, and she didn't want to have a "double standard" herself.

Brother Jiu waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not from when he was a child. The style is from outside. It's probably from Niu Gulu's family..."

Shu Shu took a small wrench and looked at it. The sapphire wrench showed no signs of use.

Shu Shu was thinking about her younger brothers, and after accepting the kindness of the Tenth Brother, she couldn't help but praise: "The Tenth Uncle is a talented person, so considerate and thoughtful, and prepared all this..."

In the eyes of Ninth Brother, brothers are naturally good friends. But hearing Shu Shu's praise, he still felt uncomfortable and hummed: "I think too much...it's not what I and Lao Shi were talking about...at that time, the 'initial ceremony'"

, Lao Shi didn’t catch up, so he talked to me when he came back. I talked about the situation that day, and also mentioned five brothers-in-law, cousin-in-law, cousin-in-law and so on..."

Shu Shu did not refute, and nodded with a smile: "Well, I am most grateful to you... I know it is thanks to Mr. Zhan. If Uncle Ten hadn't treated me sincerely, he wouldn't have prepared these..."

Only then did Brother Nine smile and nod: "Old Ten is an honest man..."

Shu Shu smiled and nodded, agreeing with this statement in her heart.

Even if this sincerity is correct, it is not wrong.

No one is a fool, so how can we be kind to others in vain?

Naturally, you are good to me, and I am good to you, and we reciprocate the favor.

The homecoming gifts prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been delivered in the afternoon. There are four colored gifts in total, four pieces of palace satin, four Ruyi purses filled with gold and silver embroidery, four boxes of palace cakes, and four boxes of tribute tea.

As for Brother Jiu's order to Nanny Liu to prepare, it was in vain.

Grandma Liu apologized sincerely, saying that she had been unwell during her vacation a few days ago and had neglected to remember this.

Although Brother Jiu was unhappy, he didn't say much.

When the young couple took stock of their things, they couldn't help but feel happy.

Fortunately, I had prepared it in advance, otherwise the Ministry of Internal Affairs' share would be so meager that I would really feel like I couldn't handle it.

This night, the two of them didn't make trouble too late, because they had to get up early the next day, which was quite hard.

As the saying goes, "You don't see your husband's tiles when you return home." As a rule, you have to leave before dawn, and your parents' family will come to pick you up in a carriage.

Before leaving, the bride also needs to kowtow to her father-in-law and mother-in-law before leaving.

Two days ago, Dong E's family sent a message in, asking which gate in the imperial city they should pick up.

The north gate of the imperial city is Di'anmen, the south gate is Tiananmen, and the east and west gates are Dong'an Gate and Xi'an Gate. On weekdays, people in the palace can leave the imperial city through any of the four gates.

There are restrictions on palace visitors at Tiananmen Square, and most of them are clan officials.

The identity of Ninth Brother and his wife can be from any family.

Except for Dong'an Gate, which is in the wrong direction, and it is the transportation channel in the palace, which is quite messy.

Brother Jiu asked Shu Shu, and the two decided to go to Di'anmen. He also sent a message to Dong E's family, asking them to arrange to pick him up outside Di'anmen.

Just because we left the palace city, we could arrange a carriage to bypass Jingshan and go straight to Di'an Gate. If we take Xi'an Gate, we have to cross a bridge in the middle, which is inconvenient for carriages.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sound of banging was heard at the fourth watch, the two of them woke up, changed into full auspicious clothes, took two chamberlains, He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, and two palace maids, Xiao Chun and Walnut, and left the elder brother's house.

Qianqing Palace.

The two of them didn't call anyone, they just waited outside.

Xinuan Pavilion is still dark, and Kangxi has not yet risen.

It was almost Yinchu, and the lights of Xinuan Pavilion came on.

Before Brother Jiu could call someone to announce the matter, a chamberlain came out to convey the message and summoned the two of them to see him.

Shu Shu was one step behind Brother Jiu and followed him into the Xinuang Pavilion.

Shu Shu did not raise her head during the whole process, her eyebrows were lowered and she looked like a bride.

She doesn't need to do too much, she just sticks to the rules and doesn't get into trouble. She should be a good daughter-in-law who can be recognized by her elders.

Kangxi didn't say much. After Shu Shu kowtowed, he told Brother Jiu "Go early and come back early" before sending the two of them out.

The young couple did not delay and hurried to Yikun Palace again.

There is not much time today. In addition to setting off before dawn, we also have to leave Dong E's house before noon.

On the way, including the time spent at Dong E's house, it only lasted three or four hours.

The lights in Yikun Palace were already brightly lit.

Concubine Yi was already waiting and received Shu Shu's kowtow. Without wasting time, she asked Xianglan to hold a few boxes and said to Shu Shu: "I didn't prepare anything, I just picked up a few things for you to achieve nirvana." Go back and reward people..."

Shu Shu thanked her solemnly before following Brother Jiu out.

When passing by the Fifth Qianxi Institute, Nanny Qi, Xiaoyu, Peanut and a few servants were already waiting for her with large and small bags.

In addition to the "returning ceremony", there was also a change of clothes for Shu Shu and Jiu Age.

The group of people left the palace directly from Shenwu Gate. There were two carriages waiting here.

Cui Nanshan and a young eunuch stood beside the carriage to welcome the two masters out. There were also twenty guards from the Ministry of Internal Affairs waiting with their horses.

Young Master Shu Shu thanked her, and then, with Brother Jiu supporting her, they got into the carriage.

Following them, Aunt Qi, Xiao Chun and others got into the second carriage, and several other servants followed on foot.

Cui Nanshan did not go with him. When he saw the carriage moving, he took the young eunuch and left.

The distance from Shenwumen to Di'anmen is not far. It's just over two miles away, and it only takes the carriage half a stick of incense to reach it.

Di'anmen is the north gate of the imperial city and is heavily guarded.

The main entrance is seven rooms wide, with the bright room and the second room in the middle for passage, and the fourth room is the value room.

The access control time of the imperial city and the palace city are the same. The doors are opened at Yinchu and locked at Youzheng.

Therefore, when the carriage arrived at Di'anmen, the city gate was already open and the group left the imperial city.

Outside Di'an Gate, there were several carriages parked, and people were already waiting with lanterns.

Brother Jiu got off the carriage and was about to help Shu Shu get out of the carriage, but he was stunned: "Master Qi..."

Shu Shu was about to get out of the car when she heard the words and raised her head, her eye circles immediately turned red.

The person who came forward with a lantern was none other than Qi Xi.

"Why is Amma here..."

Shu Shu immediately got off the carriage and greeted him.

Qi Xi's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his sleeves were wet with dew. He stood there for an unknown amount of time. Looking at his daughter, he couldn't bear to look away and grinned: "It's not that Amma misses you and is impatient to wait at home..."

Shu Shu supported Qi Xi's arm and choked with sobs: "My daughter misses Amma too...Why does Amma lose weight again..."

As early as when Shu Shu got married, Qi Xi had lost a lot of weight, and now it looks like he has lost a lot more weight, so thin that he looks a bit out of shape.

Qi Xi laughed "haha": "I'm not losing weight, just a bit bitter in summer, it will be better in autumn..."

Shu Shu didn't ask further, but she knew the reason.

What can it do?

I'm just worried about her daughter who married into the royal family.

But in the past few days, she was busy "managing" the relationship between husband and wife, busy gathering her elder brother's family, and being a virtuous royal daughter-in-law. How many minutes did she think about her biological parents?

She is really an unfilial daughter.

Shu Shu's tears burst out.

Qi Xi looked at it, panicked and anxious, looking at Brother Jiu as if he was shooting a knife...

Seeing that he was being ignored by the father and daughter, Brother Ninth felt sour in his heart. However, when he caught the eyes of his old father-in-law and saw clearly the murderous intent in his eyes, he felt that he was going to die unjustly!

My wife has been very happy these past few days, with a smile on her face.

That is to say, he needs to give less advice...

Even if you are not used to leaving your parents' home, you still have to restrain yourself when you see your family and you really miss them. How can you be like a child and cry whenever you want?

Isn't this misleading?
