Seeing the sweat on her forehead, she said comfortably: "What's the trouble? Just wait for me to come over..."
Jiu Gege smiled and said: "There are only a few steps in total. I have been in the garden for so long and I want to come out and take a walk..."
Living outside the garden is not as convenient as living in the garden.
In the half month since Shu Shu moved here, the number of times the aunt and sister-in-law have met can be counted on one hand.
When I stayed in the garden during the first month of the year, I wished I could see him every day.
Shu Shu smiled and led her to the west room and said, "It's a pity that you came early and the drawings haven't been sent back yet."
Jiu Gege asked curiously: "What does it look like? Is it the prince's mansion of Sister-in-law Nine and Brother Nine?"
Shu Shu pointed at Jiuge and said: "It's not the prince's palace, it's the princess's palace..."
Jiu Gege's face turned red, and he couldn't help but asked curiously: "Where did you choose? Is it close to the palace?"
Shu Shu thought about the location of Tong Mansion and said: "Next to the root of the Imperial City, it is about the same distance from Di'anmen and Daqingmen, more than a mile..."
Jiu Gege couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
While he was talking, Sun Jin came back and came over to deliver the drawings of the Tong Mansion at the request of Brother Nine.
Shu Shu took it directly into the study, laid it flat on the desk, and looked at it with Jiu Gege: "The buildings on the middle road have fixed regulations and are not easy to change. The east road and the west road can be designed according to your own wishes...
…”
When he saw the drawing clearly, Jiu Gege said in shock: "Whose house is this? Why is it so densely covered with courtyards?"
Shu Shu said: "Tong Guowei's mansion, his seven sons, are not divided into separate families, aren't they all in the courtyard..."
Jiuge raised her eyebrows and whispered: "Why did Khan Ama remember to point to this place?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Is this Convenience's brother-in-law?"
The street where Tong Mansion is located is also called Tong Mansion Alley, because there are two government palaces on the same road.
Some people in later generations studied Ningrong Street in "A Dream of Red Mansions" and said it was "the road between Tong Mansion".
One of the two brothers in the book is based on the two brothers Tong Guogang and Tong Guowei.
Jiu Gege said angrily: "Sister-in-law Jiu..."
Shu Shu cleared her throat and said, "It's grace anyway."
It's so close, and the princess's house was arranged adjacent to her husband's house.
Jiu Gege nodded and said hesitantly: "How about demolishing these yards?"
Shu Shu glanced at her and said: "Since it is built according to the princess's mansion, can it be returned to the Tong family? Even if my sister is a hundred years old and the house is taken back to the House of Internal Affairs, it will be rewarded to the next generation of princesses and will not be given back to the Tong family.
The truth.”
Jiu Gege thought about it and pointed to the east road near Tong Mansion: "Then this side will be demolished, a garden will be built, some fruit trees will be planted, and two ponds of fish will be raised..."
After saying that, she pointed to the northernmost part of East Road and said: "Build a library here, where you can read books, taste tea, and entertain guests..."
When she saw West Road, she blushed and said: "This is just a neat courtyard. It will be more refreshing and convenient for people to live in later..."
This journey was prepared for her future children.
Shu Shu handed her the drawings and said: "Don't worry, even if we start construction now, we will focus on the middle road first. My sister will think about it herself..."
"Um!"
Jiu Gege nodded in agreement and took the drawing with great interest.
It's exciting to think that such a big mansion belongs to her.
Then she remembered something and said: "By the way, Sister-in-law Ninth, I heard from others that yesterday the fifth brother went to Tuoyuan Bookstore and seemed to have thrown something there. The people in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace saw it and told the Imperial Grandmother.
One mouthful, what’s going on?”
Shu Shu was a little hesitant after hearing this.
Although she didn't like the prince, she could still file a complaint, but she had to decide who to file the complaint to.
If the fifth elder brother is involved, the Queen Mother will be upset if she knows it.
The Queen Mother is old and there is no need to get involved in the disputes between the princes.
Occasionally, Kangxi would not care if he favored his fifth elder brother; but if he was facing the prince, Kangxi might not be happy with it.
She said to Jiu Gege with some seriousness: "It's okay to tell my sister, so as not to worry if I hear someone who doesn't know anything about it, but it's better to forget it as far as the imperial grandmother is concerned. It's all in the past, so just be vague about it.
, so you don’t have to worry about it later.”
Jiu Gege also said solemnly: "Don't worry, Sister-in-law Jiu, I understand the importance and am not the talkative one."
Shu Shu started by talking about the incident at Tianma Racecourse yesterday, then the mistake in the prince's gift delivery yesterday, and the incident of the prince's concubine coming over today.
Jiu Gege's face was also ugly.
Brother Eleven is not only the younger brother of Brother Nine, he is also her younger brother.
She thought of her sister Twelve Gege who died the year before last. If someone took Twelve Gege's relics without asking, she would also get mad.
"Why is it Aktun again? How many days have it been since last time?"
Jiu Gege frowned.
Everyone has nephews who are far away from each other and have never interacted with each other. Compared with her cute little brother, she naturally prefers her fifteenth elder brother.
This time too, she naturally favored Shu Shu and Brother Jiu.
Shu Shu sneered: "What else can there be? That's the emperor's eldest grandson..."
Jiu Gege said: "Then let the matter be settled like this?"
Shu Shu nodded, shook his head, and said: "It's over here, and there are also apology preparations on the left and right, but we should stay far away from now on, so we don't dare to get involved..."
Jiu Gege frowned and said, "No wonder Sister-in-law Ninth didn't let me tell Grandma Huang. I was very angry when I heard it. Grandma Huang would definitely be angry too..."
Shu Shu said: "So just be vague. Fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law won't say anything about it."
It was rare for Jiu Gege to come over, so Shu Shu had to leave food.
Jiu Gege hesitated and said, "What about Brother Jiu?"
Shu Shu said: "He eats his, we eat ours, it doesn't matter..."
Jiu Gege thought of Brother Jiu's clingy appearance and said with a smile: "At noon, Brother Jiu must have stared blankly again..."
Shu Shu was thinking about several kinds of summer food in different ways. Remembering that many of them were things Jiu Gege had never eaten before, she called Xiaotang and ordered her to make dough at noon.
When Xiaotang went down, Shu Shu told Jiugege about the general method of making dough, as well as the accompanying methods of washing and steaming gluten.
Jiu Gege heard everything and said: "The dough can actually be washed?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Anyway, it's the way to eat it in the northwest. I occasionally heard people mention it. It's delicious when eaten in summer."
Jiu Gege was so excited after hearing this, he said: "Then I have to give it a try..."
With dough, how can there be no Roujiamo?
Shu Shu ordered the braised pork to be prepared.
By the time Brother Ninth came back at noon, a table of food was ready.
The main dishes are dough and meat buns.
The dough comes in two flavors, sesame sauce and balsamic vinegar and chili.
There are also two flavors of Roujiamo, a pure meat version and a version with chili.
The eldest brother happened to be at the head office and sent someone over to pick up the meal box.
Shu Shu asked the dining room to make more. In addition to the first house, he also sent a portion to the second, third and fifth houses.
Brother Jiu saw this and said, "I just paid it somewhere else, why should I send it to the second place?"
Shu Shu said: "I forgot, Sanbeile was also busy the day before yesterday..."
I even took a trip to Tuoyuan Bookstore with me.
No matter how sincere it is, it is just a make-up.
Also, they had just had a quarrel with Tuoyuan Bookstore, so it was not good for them to distance themselves from their brothers, otherwise they would look arrogant and rude in the eyes of others.
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's give him an advantage..."
Sesame paste noodles, meat buns, a few side dishes, and a bowl of mung bean paste will whet your appetite.
After putting down his chopsticks, Brother Jiu said: "Eat this Futian to appetize, and make a serving in the evening..."
Shu Shu nodded in agreement.
In the past few days, Kangxi had been worrying a lot. His children were all debts.
Now that times have changed, you can also show your filial piety.
When Brother Jiu got off the table and went out, Jiu Gege sat at the table, looking at Shu Shu and hesitated to speak.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are also people who can honor the emperor's grandmother..."
Jiu Gege shook his head and said: "That's not what I'm asking, but I don't know how to thank Khan Ama..."
The married prince's elder brother has the prince's dining room and can prepare meals "with all due respect".
Unmarried princesses like Jiu Gege eat with the Queen Mother and use the Queen Mother's dining room, so it is not convenient for them to imitate the filial piety of Shu Shu and others.
Shu Shu didn't dare to come up with random ideas, and asked: "Is there any example? What did the previous princesses prepare when they were filial to the emperor in the palace in the early years?"
The time when princes and princesses fulfill their filial piety at the end of the year is the Wanshou Festival, and everyone must prepare birthday gifts.
Jiu Gege thought for a while and said: "There are more needles and threads, but isn't it too simple?"
Shu Shu advised: "It's not a business, a one-time deal. How can my sister miss out on the opportunity to show filial piety in the future in Beijing? I don't necessarily have to take it seriously this time, otherwise it would seem like my sister hates getting married...
…”
Jiu Gege glanced at her and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu said everything..."
Shu Shu made a gesture of sealing her mouth and stopped talking about it.

Head office, study room.
The eldest brother is here alone, and there are no female relatives arranged. He lives, sits and sleeps in the front.
When the food boxes were brought in, there were two food boxes in total. The eldest brother had a smile on his face and said, "Is there anyone in the Fourth House today?"
To be honest, he doesn't stay here very often. He spends three or four days out of ten, and the rest of the time he goes back to the city.
He also found out the general rules for the lunch boxes of the four houses.
The young couple lives a delicate life without spending too much money, and their daily meals do not require a few plates or bowls like other people do.
It's basically four dishes with two meat and two vegetarian dishes, one rice, one cake, and a soup.
It's just that the menu is not the common dishes in the palace. They are all prepared by myself, which makes it more appetizing.
The eunuch who prepared the meal said: "Jiugege is here..."
When the lunch boxes were put out, the eldest brother discovered that there were only two more side dishes, and the rest were just dough and sesame-fried biscuits stuffed with meat.
They must have taken his appetite into consideration, so they filled a plate with ten big sesame cakes filled with meat, five of each flavor.
He loves all kinds of meat, and this sesame seed cake stuffed with meat is just right for his appetite, especially the one with chopped green chili peppers. The braised pork and green chili peppers are fused together, making it spicy and delicious.
The mung bean paste has been sifted, and the mung bean skin has been removed, leaving only soft bean paste, which goes well with it.
As for the sesame paste noodles and the spicy and sour noodles, he has eaten them before, and they are both refreshing and appetizing.
The eldest brother ate most of it, then called the eunuch in charge and said: "Let's see what fruits are available in the village. Then go back and send some carts to the Fourth House..."
The eunuch in charge said: "Your Majesty, there is a village in Pinggu, and the peaches are ripe..."
The eldest brother said: "What are you doing? Pick out a few cars and send half to the house and half to the fourth house..."
Jiufujin has some advantages in eating, and it might turn into dried peaches or peach wine.
Thinking of this, he ordered: "When the time comes, tell Jiu Fujin that if you want peaches, send someone to the village to pick them out..."
*
Second house, upper room.
Third Brother and San Fujin were also having lunch.
Seeing the food boxes delivered by Si Suo, the third elder brother actually felt flattered and said: "It's rare, we also have a share..."
San Fujin glanced at his third elder brother and said, "Look, what I said is not something valuable, it's just a mouthful of food..."
Third Brother said: "We have to give it a try. It's not easy. We can still take advantage of them..."
After what happened the day before yesterday, the third elder brother discovered that the ninth elder brother was not only responsible for himself, but also for others.
Even the prince and the prince would not be able to fall behind, let alone myself...
