Before the Ninth Prince went out, the hothouse dishes from the Ninth Prince's Mansion arrived at the palace first.
Compared with the two side dishes last time, this time it was much richer.
In addition to tender leafy cabbage, there are also pink radish, green cucumbers, half-sized green peppers, small purple eggplants, and a handful of coriander and green onions.
Ningshou Palace, Yikun Palace and Qianqing Palace all got a share.
Outside the palace, it would be difficult to give her away.
Otherwise, the greenhouse would not be enough.
However, the ninth elder brother invited the tenth elder brother and his wife over and had a meal directly.
The rest was left to Brother Ninth to make the final decision and send a copy to Dutong Mansion.
Both of them are generous, but now the stingy one feels uncomfortable delivering food.
But these are all brothers outside the palace. There is no reason to send gifts to one family and not to the other family. Even if they are sent to both, they will not be able to come.
Brother Jiu said: "It will be fine next year. Just build a few greenhouses in Xiaotangshan. Then we can have as much food as we want..."
When the time comes, it will be supplied directly to the house, and a fruit and vegetable shop will also be added.
Shu Shu also nodded.
This is the disadvantage of living in one place.
The four princes' palaces are connected together, and everything is done under the eyes of others.
Even the Tenth Prince's Mansion couldn't give it away alone.
Otherwise, there would still be Sibeile Mansion...
I have sent it to both places, so there is no reason not to send it to Babeile Mansion.
Since these half-brothers have been given away, Wubeile Mansion cannot be left behind.
As a result, Zhijun Prince's Mansion and the other two Baylor Mansions had no choice but to give them away.
It's because Brother Jiu is not a compatriot with us, but half-brothers. The more this is the case, the harder it is to distinguish between distant and distant relatives.
It would be okay if we didn't interact with each other before, but we just borrowed money.
Brother Jiu has good intentions, but so do the brothers.
"At the end of the year, there will be a big wave of dishes, and it will be just right to give them together with the New Year's gifts..."
Shu Shu said.
Because of the side dishes, Brother Ninth thought of his brothers and said: "The end of the month is the birthday of Xiao Fifteen, and the beginning of the twelfth lunar month belongs to Brother Twelve and Brother Five. Over there, Twelve, prepare two more pairs of purses. After all, we are older. Take it easy."
Although the birthdays of the younger elder brothers are similar, the birthday gifts prepared by the elder brothers outside the palace are similar, but the twelfth elder brother will be sixteen during the Chinese New Year, so he is no longer considered a child.
He knows all the private houses of the twelfth elder brother. He has the bulk of them here, and more than two thousand taels of silver in the hands of the twelfth elder brother. It is enough for daily needs, but if he wants to add more outside the palace like he did last year, An industry is not enough.
Shu Shu wrote it down and said, "When did you leave the study room last year?"
Brother Jiu glanced at her and said, "In late June, two days before the wedding..."
The two said they would get married in mid-March and the wedding would be at the end of June.
Shu Shu said: "The year after next is the year of the draft. If we calculate it according to marriage, then the twelfth brother will have to study in the study room for another year and a half..."
Brother Ninth Brother said: "Who knows, some of the brothers at the top left the study room as soon as they reached sixteen..."
Previously, he was worried that the emperor's father would habitually neglect his twelfth elder brother, so he thought about letting him come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to study, but his twelfth elder brother declined.
Brother Ninth already planned to wait and see. If the emperor couldn't remember him later, he would also remind him.
After several days of preparation, on November 14th, Brother Ninth Brother's luggage was ready.
In order not to alarm the people, the holy driver had to leave the city gate before dawn as a rule.
Brother Ninth also needs to set off early.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu went to bed early last night, and Yinchu woke up.
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, a little worried, and said: "I'll just pay it off when I go, the speed of the journey will not be slow, but when I come back, I can't tell. If I return with the eldest princess, I will
It’s time to slow down…”
The eldest princess is here at this age and her health is not very good, so it is not convenient for her to travel.
Shu Shu knew that he was worried about her, so she said: "I have A Mou here. Let A Mou stay here with me, so I can rest assured."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "If you miss your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can also bring your mother-in-law to live here for a few days..."
Shu Shu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, it's the end of the year, and we're about to enter the twelfth lunar month. Everyone is busy."
In the month since I moved out of the palace, Eni came over with about the same frequency.
Almost one day every ten days.
Because she is pregnant now, this frequency is not so conspicuous.
Amma is not a female family member, so she doesn’t visit her home too often. She only visits once a month, mostly to buy some food and drink for her.
Shu Shu has already thought about it. After she gives birth and is in confinement, she can find a reason to go to Ning once a month, so that she can see her parents one more time.
If you can't tell, you will no longer be their treasure.
If you have a small one, you have to take a step back.
Brother Ninth Brother was still worried that she would be bored, so he said: "You can ask the ten younger brothers and sisters to play cards with you, but you can't sleep all the time because you will feel sleepy after leaving at night."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Okay, I won't be bored, don't worry..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but touched her belly and said, "It looks a little heavy, please don't stand up if you can, so as not to have a hard time falling."
Shu Shu also agreed. Seeing that it was getting late, she tied a newly made bell on him and made a hood on it.
Different from the ordinary men's open-eared mink hat, this one is similar to the Guanyin hood, covering the ears and the back of the neck.
Children and women often wear hoods and snow hats of this style.
This is like an enlarged version of a children's hat. It has buttons at the front of the mouth and nose, and can also be tied up to cover it.
Brother Jiu looked in the mirror and said happily: "It would be nice if it was bright red..."
Shu Shu made a cloak made of bright red Ning silk.
The one worn by Brother Ninth is a relatively dull navy blue, and the hat is also a Ning silk mink hat of the same color.
Shu Shu said: "When I come back, I will ask someone to change..."
Now is the visit to the mausoleum, so you can't wear bright red and purple colors.
The ninth elder brother shook his head and said: "Forget it, it seems unsteady. I am no longer the younger elder brother, but I am also going to be the one of Ama."
Seeing his reluctance, Shu Shu said: "There's still more than half a year left, and there's still time to be more prudent next year."
Brother Jiu then nodded and said, "That's right. I just want to wear the same color as you. Otherwise, you will look like a little girl and make me look better."
Shu Shu stretched out her hand and put on her new cloak.
It is made of pure red Ning silk, with green mink fur inside; the matching Guanyin bag covers the person tightly.
Brother Jiu quickly stopped him and said, "Don't go out. The night wind is cold and I'll have a headache."
Shu Shu said reluctantly: "Since I'm here, just take these few steps to get some air, otherwise I'll be suffocating in the house all day."
Brother Jiu had nothing to do with her, so he helped her put on her hood, mask, and gloves before helping her out.
When he arrived at the door, Brother Jiu stopped and said, "Let's see if it's cold first..."
Shu Shu shook her head.
Although it was "Twenty-Nine" weather now, the two of them could not bear the thick clothes and did not feel the chill at all.
Brother Jiu took her and walked slowly.
It took less than half an hour to walk from the main courtyard to the door.
The luggage has been loaded, Brother Jiu's carriage is also ready, and everyone following him is waiting.
In addition to the two eunuchs He Yuzhu and Sun Jin, there are also Gao Bin, a long-term follower, and two bodyguards, Heishan and Fuqing, with ten guards.
Shu Shu wanted him to bring more people, but Brother Jiu refused.
If you follow the Holy Driver, there will be no shortage of manpower in the palace.
If Shu Shu hadn't insisted, he wouldn't have even planned to bring ten guards.
Brother Ninth's luggage was loaded into two cars, as well as a traveling carriage and a backup carriage.
The disciple from Heishan, named Hei Qiusheng, was left in the mansion, and together with the second and third boys of the Xing family, he temporarily served as a guard and was responsible for the training of the guard vest.
Xiaochun and Walnut followed the two of them out.
Brother Jiu looked at Xiao Chun and said, "Fu Jin can't be without people around him. You guys have to arrange your shifts and keep someone on duty in the upper room at night."
Xiaochun bowed and responded.
Brother Jiu then looked at Shu Shu, intending to urge Shu Shu to go back.
Shu Shu was explaining to He Yuzhu: "The boots are all new. Remember to change them frequently to avoid freezing your feet. Also change your socks and undershirts with new ones every day."
He Yuzhu remembered it all.
Shu Shu added: "If you shower and wash your hair on the road, be sure to dry it before asking me to lie down to avoid headaches."
He Yuzhu also agreed.
Heishan and Fuqing were standing nearby, leading their horses, and they saw that these two people were sticky.
Heishan had watched Shushu grow up, and he was only relieved to see this.
This is how a young couple should be. With Da Gege’s character and character, no matter how much love the 9th Prince has, it’s the way it should be.
Fu Qing, on the other hand, was so awkward that he didn't know where his eyes were going.
In the end, Brother Ninth still did not resist Shu Shu and got on the carriage.
However, he refused to move the carriage and insisted on waiting until Shu Shu entered the yard before setting off.
Shu Shu smiled and nodded, supported Xiao Chun, turned around and went in.
When Brother Jiu saw her entering the gate, he lowered the curtains.
The carriage started, left the Ninth Prince's Mansion, and headed outside Di'anmen...
Because they were traveling far away, the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers both had their own carriages.
But the Fourteenth Prince disliked the boredom of riding alone in a carriage, so after leaving the Shenwu Gate, he squeezed into the Thirteenth Prince's carriage.
As soon as he got in the car, he noticed something was wrong.
There was no fumigator in the carriage, but it seemed to be even warmer, and the end cap couldn't be worn.
He opened his collar and looked around, and found something strange about the carriage. The seats were warm and slightly hot to the touch.
"The carriage has been modified well. It is better than putting the fumigation cage directly in the carriage. It is much more spacious and feels warmer..."
The fourteenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother were talking to each other.
Brother Thirteen took off his mink hat and said: "It's almost the same as in the house. Let's take off my coat to avoid sweating and catching a cold..."
Brother Fourteen took off the end shield, touched the carriage, looked at the brand new woolen cloth, and said: "It's also a new one, it seems to be warmer..."
Because they were traveling far away, they were very excited. They went to bed late last night, woke up early this morning, and were still a little tired.
The two of them felt sleepy due to the warmth, so they folded the end covers to use as pillows, and then they huddled together and lay down in the carriage.
Although there was also the sound of rumbling, the noise was reduced a lot because the underside of the carriage was also made of three layers of woolen cloth. The two fell asleep snoring in a short while.
…
In the imperial chariot, Kangxi came up and noticed the difference, so he signaled Liang Jiugong to remove the end shield and mink hat.
The tea cakes on the imperial carriage were prepared by Liang Jiugong. He opened the drawer under the seat with familiarity, brought out the teapot, and poured Kangxi a cup of tea.
Kangxi was sitting and took the tea.
The temperature of the tea is just right.
Liang Jiugong said: "Jiu Ye is filial and clever."
Kangxi hummed softly: "This is how I have been since I was a child. I only have some cleverness in being lazy..."
…
The eldest brother wore cotton armor, brought guards and guards, and rode horses to accompany the royal chariot.
Thinking of this, Kangxi opened the curtain and told his eldest brother: "We are all on our way. I don't need to leave anyone behind. You can go by car."
The eldest brother leaned over and responded: "As soon as we leave the city, my son will go change cars."
Kangxi nodded, relieved.
It can only be said that dragons give birth to nine sons, each of whom is different.
There are those like the ninth elder brother who are squeamish and love to be lazy, and there are also those like the eldest elder brother who don’t know how to rest unless told to do so.
Kangxi was disgusted and said to Liang Jiugong: "Who can follow this easy-going and evasive temper? It seems that he is not as sensible as the thirteenth elder brother..."
Liang Jiugong said: "This is also Master Jiu's filial piety. Once he was ill, he knew how to cherish his body and was reluctant to let the emperor and the empress worry. If it were anyone else, at this age, how would they think about these things..."
Kangxi thought of the two troubles that Brother Jiu had made last year, which was indeed frightening.
He shook his head and said: "Stupid, I don't use my heart when I should be lazy, but I am honest when I should be lazy..."
This is about being fooled by Grandma Liu and the heatstroke later...
In Brother Ninth Brother's carriage, He Yuzhu was counting the numbers to Brother Ninth Brother: "There are only five pairs of boots, I am afraid that I will sweat or get wet and not warm; I have fifteen pairs of socks, I will change them with new ones every day, as well as the middle coat."
…”
In addition to these inner and outer clothes, Fujin also matched the colors, wrapped them in sets, and made small signs on them.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "I don't worry about Fujin when I go out, and Fujin certainly doesn't worry about me when I'm home..."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
This tea is also specially prepared, and there are several types in total. One is the ginseng and red date tea that he is drinking now, and there are several others for backup, including brown sugar ginger tea, jasmine black tea and osmanthus green tea.
On weekdays, you can drink ginseng and red date tea to fight fatigue, jasmine black tea to fight cold, osmanthus green tea to relieve heat, brown sugar ginger tea to fight cold...
