Chapter 888 Good Beginning and Good End (Monthly Ticket)
After lunch, Shu Shu felt a little sweaty.
Shifujin and Jiugege wanted to go back to Changchun Garden, so they stood up and left.
Guizhen didn't delay and followed along.
She lay down comfortably, drank half a bowl of dendrobium water, and then fell asleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was Shen Chu.
There are only walnuts on the side.
Seeing the silence, Shu Shu suddenly became energetic.
Eni returned to Tutong Mansion this morning! Lan
She is the head of the house, has a whole family, and has a young son who is less than one year old. It is not easy to stay here for seven days.
Amou is not here either. After all, he is an elderly man. He has been here day and night for several days. He is already tired and has returned to Ning'an Hall today.
Shu Shu stretched and asked Walnut: "Has the ginger water that I asked the water house to boil before been boiled?"
Walnut nodded and said: "It's ready..."
There is a boiling water room in the back room.
The three little babies did not have the "three baths" ceremony before, but they still had the "three baths" and now they have to wash their buttocks every day.
Here at Shushu, I soak my feet in the morning and evening every day.
She had been enduring it until today, but she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Seeing that the two elders had left in the morning, she privately ordered walnuts and prepared hot water.
Walnut was a little hesitant at the moment and said: "Fu Jin, do you want to ask the imperial doctor again?"
Shu Shu waved her hands and said: "No, I don't take a shower, I just wipe it. If I don't wipe it, it will stink!"
Walnut said: "Fu Jin doesn't smell bad, he smells like milk..."
Shu Shu hummed softly, not believing these words.
What is milky milky fragrance?
Just thinking about it doesn't make it smell good.
After a while, the fumigation cage from outside was brought in and the screen was set up.
Two quarters of an hour later, when the temperature in the room was high, the boiling water was almost dry.
Shu Shu went behind the screen, where there was a chair with soft cushions on it.
Xiaochun and Walnut took the clothes off her body and wiped them all.
Xiao Song stood next to him and helped the two of them twist the towels.
There are many clean towels next to it.
There are not one hot water basin on the ground, but three.
Wipe each one once, three times from beginning to end.
Then use a dry towel to dry the moisture on the skin and put on clothes.
Shushu just needs to sit down the whole time, and within a quarter of an hour, her body will be wiped clean.
It was rubbed from the hairline to the gaps between fingers.
She felt that she was half a kilogram lighter, and she no longer had the faint smell of blood and milk.
This was only halfway through, and then Shu Shu's hair spread out.
Xiaochun and Walnut took turns wiping her hair with a semi-dry towel. Although it was not as good as washing her hair, they felt much more comfortable.
Finally, I used a grate to "dry clean" her using the dry cleaning powder I prepared earlier.
Then I wiped my hair with a towel again, inside and out.
At this time, Xiaosong was not idle, and went to change the sheets, quilts, and pillow covers on the kang.
Even the curtains above were replaced with new ones.
Shu Shu let her hair down and sat back on the kang, feeling satisfied.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and she felt a little guilty on her face.
It was Mrs. Bo who got the news and came over.
She walked in a hurry and was a little out of breath. She held the door and stared at Shu Shu, speechless.
Shu Shu hurriedly tried to please him and said: "Ah Mou, I didn't take a bath, I just wiped it. There is no bathtub, how can I wash it? The same goes for my hair, I just wiped it to avoid itchy scalp..."
Mrs. Bo glanced at the washbasin on the floor, and then looked at Shu Shu's hair. It was indeed not wet, and then she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This is not a naughty thing. I will have a headache by then, and it can be cured by taking medicine."
not good!"
Shu Shu took Madam Bo's arm and said affectionately: "Don't worry, Mu, I'm obedient. It's just that my body smells bad and it's too uncomfortable, so I asked someone to rub it. Now I feel better."
Mrs. Bo shook her head and said: "Brother Jiu A should not be allowed to grow old..."
She knew that Shu Shu was a person who loved beauty and cleanliness, and did not like to see others with unkempt hair.
But this is how women get through confinement, and it will be fine as long as they get over it.
It was because their mouths were so sticky that they couldn't keep them apart, so they felt uncomfortable being dirty.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Not only for Master Jiu, I can't bear it myself. When the time comes, I won't be able to eat well or sleep well. I will be the one who suffers. Now I feel refreshed, I eat well, and I sleep well."
, this recovery is good.”
Mrs. Bo had nothing to do with her, so she said something ugly and said: "No matter how young you are, this childbirth is different from ordinary childbirth. You will have to wait for two months, don't think about it less!"
Shu Shu said obediently: "Of course. When the time comes, even after two months, I will have to take good care of myself for a year and a half."
Mrs. Bo couldn't be cruel to her, and regretted: "I shouldn't have let you go back today!"
Shu Shu wished she could swear, and the uncle felt relieved.
After Shu Shu lay down again, Madam Uncle gave some instructions to Walnut and Xiao Chun and returned to Ning'an Hall.
When Brother Ninth came from the front yard, he noticed the difference in this house.
The curtains were changed.
He looked at Shu Shu.
Shushu was lying lazily on the kang, and Xiaosong was rubbing her arms.
Brother Jiu asked with concern: "Are your arms sore? Did you hold the child? Stop holding him. Turn around and sit down to get sick..."
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu and said: "Eni outside, the child is still able to be held when he is five or six years old. He started to hold him when he was four or five pounds. If he doesn't hold him since he was young, he will not be able to hold him.
Got it!" Lan
Brother Jiu sat next to him and said, "Then I won't hug you. How can I hug you all the time? Isn't there a nanny?"
Shu Shu did not argue with him about this, and just said: "In half a month, the Wanshou Festival will be held. This is the first year after we leave the palace to prepare birthday gifts. Should I send someone to Sibeile Mansion to ask about last year's customs?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "No, fourth brother has already sent last year's gift list. It's not just birthdays, birthdays, eight kinds of gifts, goldware, toys, or ornaments."
They are princes who have not been ennobled, and they are still younger brothers. They must not go beyond the elder brother.
Brother Jiu then said: "There are two to four gold items, but it's hard to make them in-house. For the rest, I'll search among the antique calligraphy and paintings at home to get a few pieces together."
Shu Shu said: "Let's make the goldware from Shun'an Silver House. Make it practical, such as a gold wine pot or a gold teapot. A set of them is also decent."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "You can't go wrong with gold vessels and wine vessels. They can be considered the same. Just add a Ruyi handle. That one is also practical." Lan
Since it is practical, it is not inlaid with gold and treasures for decoration, but the kind of wishful thinking that is really used.
Brother Jiu had sent Jin Ruyi to Qianqing Palace before, but he only put it away for a few days. It was just a decoration and not practical.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "The emperor is frugal and does not like extravagance. Jin Ruyi also sent it to the treasury. I remember last year's annual gift. I gave a piece of agarwood as a gift. It was as long as an arm. I was thinking of having it grinded in the second half of the year.
Beads, as a gift for the Holy Birthday Festival. If I want to give the emperor good luck, I can use that carving..."
Brother Jiu became interested and said, "Let me try it with my own hands. This is something for personal use. If I personally honor it, Khan Amma will be happier."
Shu Shu wanted to object.
That’s agarwood!
Don't waste it! Lan
However, when her words came to her lips, she still turned into support, saying: "Then please be more careful and don't scratch your hands..."
Brother Jiu said proudly: "Don't worry, I'm very handy. When I was learning to draw when I was a child, I also learned seal carving for a few days. I'm very talented and can hold a knife steadily..."
Now that the matter has come to this, Shu Shu no longer cares about feeling sorry for Chen Xiang, and only hopes that Brother Jiu will cut him less.
Brother Jiu also knew that agarwood seeds were valuable, so he did not directly use the knife on agarwood seeds.
He asked someone to find materials with similar hardness and started practicing.
Shu Shu was speechless when she saw that he didn't even draw any drawings, so she asked someone to turn out the Zhu Ruyi for him and said: "The most important thing is simplicity, I want it to be practical, just do it this way, and then see where to add the auspicious words."
"
Only then did Brother Jiu realize that he hadn’t drawn the design drawing yet.
He took the bamboo Ruyi and said with some hesitation: "Is this really what it looks like? It's like an ordinary itchy scratch? Isn't it shabby?"
Shu Shu said: "Don't you want to choose objects for the emperor? If the collection, decoration, and carvings are more exquisite, we have given them to you before, just to the warehouse; for daily use, this is more practical, right?
?”
Brother Jiu thought about it, it was indeed the truth.
He glanced at Shu Shu and knew what he was doing.
Shu Shu has already asked Zhou Song to go to Shun'an Silver House to make a set of gold wine vessels with a swastika pattern. The set consists of a gold tray, a gold wine pot, and four gold wine cups.
Then she asked Xiaochun to take last year's New Year's gift booklet and select a few antique ornaments from it to prepare.
This is a long-term longevity gift.
There is also the filial piety of the ninth elder brother, which is based on the "three festivals and two birthdays" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The most affordable thing is a box of gold ingots...
Within two days, Brother Jiu brought a brocade box over like a treasure, handed it to Shu Shu and said, "Open it and take a look, what is this?"
Shu Shu was a little stunned when she looked at the brocade box, which was only six or seven inches long.
Wouldn't it be that the agarwood was almost completely destroyed, leaving only a mini Tickle?
When she opened it, Shu Shu was stunned.
Inside is a very simple agarwood hairpin with the word "Fu".
Apart from the round word "福", there are no other patterns.
Brother Jiu coughed lightly and said with a bit of coyness: "I don't know what to give you, so I will give you my blessing. I am a blessed person, and you are also a blessed person. In addition, I will give you my blessing."
With that share, everything will go smoothly..."

West Garden, Tuoyuan Bookstore.
The prince came to see the princess and asked about the preparations for the Longevity Festival.
As had been the case for a long time, the Crown Princess also drew up a gift list and handed it to the Prince.
There are sixteen pieces in total, eight are gold items, and the other eight are antiques.
It's the same every year, pretty much the same, nothing wrong, but not too outstanding.
The prince held the gift list and pondered, not very satisfied, and said: "I wonder what Lao Jiu and Lao Ten will give..."
The princess glanced at the prince, feeling surprised.
It seems that every year the prince would say something about what the eldest elder brother would give him, but this year he asked about the ninth elder brother.
It seems that the "auspiciousness" of the Ninth Prince's Mansion has made the Crown Prince uneasy.
But the two families can't compete together.
Shu Shu always behaves respectfully and will not go out of her way when arranging the gift list.
The princess lowered her eyes.
Since the Ninth Prince's Mansion didn't hold "three baths" and "full moon" events, she had already sent someone over to give them gifts.
I had always prepared double portions before, but this time it was easy to add an extra portion.
She envied Shu Shu in her heart.
For a woman, suffering once and having three children is a great blessing, including two elder brothers.
The prince was also a little surprised.
The character of Dong E's family has the appearance of being suitable for a man.
Sanfujin gave birth to two legitimate sons, and Jiufujin also gave birth to two legitimate sons.
It's a pity that these two teams don't have Gege waiting to be named.
The prince thought of someone.
Galli, cousin of Prince Yu and brother-in-law of the emperor.
That was also one of the direct descendants of the Dong E family, but they were not descendants of Princess Wenzhe.
There is also the Dong E Duke's Mansion in Zhengbai Banner. The natal family of Queen Xiaoxian is also the Dong E family.
Queen Xiaoxian was not blessed, but she also gave birth to Prince Rong.
The prince glanced at the princess.
He wanted to marry a high-born Fu Jin, but the emperor was afraid that he would not allow it.
But if you choose someone from among the beautiful women, it will be no different from the Li family, and the emperor's grandson will not be valued by Khan Amma.
What kind of method should I think of so that the emperor's father can point out a decent person to enter the Yuqing Palace...
