The aunt and sister-in-law each placed bowls of rock sugar bird's nests in front of them.
Shu Shu has been eating bird's nest often since she became pregnant.
Nowadays, eating this food has just become fashionable in Beijing, but it is not yet popular.
It seems that after Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, he began to eat bird's nest regularly. The effect was effective, and bird's nest became a commonly used health supplement.
When Jiu Gege saw this, he said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, keep it to eat..."
Shu Shu waved her hands and said: "Not only is it good for the elderly to eat this, but it is also good for us to eat it for beauty. Later I will ask the girl to copy a few recipes for you. When you open a house, I will also ask the kitchen to prepare it...
…”
Jiugege nodded before eating.
In addition to the three dishes that Shu Shu asked someone to add to Jiu Gege, there are also the sesame cakes with beef, brown sugar pancakes and tofu curd, red bean porridge, eight-treasure pickles, dry-fried small fish, and rice rolls prepared early in the dining room.
Shu Shu had a good appetite now. She had two sesame seed pancakes stuffed with beef, two palm-sized brown sugar pancakes, a bowl of tofu curd, and a sweet and sour poached egg. She chewed them all carefully.
Jiu Gege knew her appetite and was relieved when she saw this.
As long as you have a good appetite, you can always make up for it.
Jiu Gege's appetite was as usual. After a bowl of bird's nest, he was half full, and after a small bowl of milk-stewed eggs, he couldn't eat much. He ate two bites of pickles to relieve the sweetness, and that was about it.
As soon as my sister-in-law put down her kuaizi, a faint sound of crying could be heard from the west.
Shu Shu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said helplessly: "The Demon Star is awake, let's go over and have a look..."
Jiu Gege only met a few nephews and niece once, when the children got on the ute in early March.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Jiu Gege was also excited and followed Shu Shu.
As soon as they arrived at the main room, Nanny Qi had already carried the howling big girl out.
"Da Gege is looking for Fujin..."
Aunt Qi hurriedly handed it over.
Shu Shu reached out to take it, and her arm sank.
In the same period of more than forty days, the second elder brother has gained two kilograms, the elder brother has gained three kilograms, and the elder brother has gained four kilograms!
Nowadays, Da Gege is still the elder brother of the second elder brother.
Perhaps because he smelled the soothing smell, he stopped crying, grinned with his gums exposed, and smiled at others.
Jiu Gege was standing by, looking at her chubby niece and couldn't help but touch her little fleshy hand lightly.
But Da Gege didn't even look at her, only stared at Shu Shu's face.
Shu Shu had already arrived at the Western Room, sat down on the kang, and adjusted her position in holding the child.
After a while, the wet nurse called, so she took Da Gege over and went back to nurse her baby for a while.
Aunt Qi followed in.
Shu Shu looked at Grandma Qi's back and felt a little embarrassed.
If the three children really have to be separated, what will Nanny Qi do?
There needs to be someone suitable for the rear building, and Aunt Qi is the best candidate. Aunt Qi is also happy with it.
But Da Gege also needs to have suitable people around him.
Baiguo is young, so it's fine for her to help Aunt Qi, but she can't do it alone.
If it doesn't work out, I can only take care of Xiaochun for half a year.
After a while, the eldest brother and the second brother also woke up and hugged Shushu before going over to nurse.
After the three children finished eating, burped and put them back on the stroller, Shu Shu and Jiu Gege returned to Dongshoujian.
Jiu Gege praised: "Nephew, nieces are so smart. At this age, they know how to recognize people and don't even look at others..."
She was watching from the side, but none of the babies even looked at her.
Shu Shu took the pillow, tilted it on the kang, and said with a smile: "It's not that I don't look at others, it's that I can't see. Children's eyes have grown up slowly, and now they still recognize people by their smell. I guess everything they see is a mock-up."
You can't really see what's going on in Mohu Lake. You can only see two or three feet away at the farthest. It will take a few more months to see people clearly..."
Jiu Gege exclaimed: "It's actually like this. It's really all about knowledge..."
When she mentioned knowledge, she remembered something and said, "I heard that Prime Minister Zhang's young daughter was given to Sister-in-law Jiu's brother? Their family are all Jinshi, so I guess Miss Zhang is also talented..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, let's ask the tenth brother and his younger brothers and sisters to be the matchmakers. The Zhang family is well-known and scholarly, and the girl has been influenced by Lingxiu..."
Jiu Gege looked forward to it and said, "Then I can invite Qingru Gege and Miss Zhang when I'm at the Princess Mansion!"
Her princess mansion is Tong Guowei's old residence, just east of the imperial city, five or six miles away from Shu Shu.
Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "Nowadays, societies are popular outside. When the time comes, you will also form a society, recite poems and paint, and I will publish a book for you..."
After hearing this, Jiu Gege became less uneasy and more hopeful about life outside the palace...

Babeizi Mansion, East Cross Courtyard.
Mrs. Fucha looked at the cards and account books in front of her, was silent for a long time, and said to her dowry: "Take it!"
The grandma hesitated and said, "Didn't Fujin not care about it before?"
For the past six months, life has been uneventful.
If we continue to get mixed up, I don’t know what will happen in the future.
Mrs. Fucha sighed and said, "Isn't there no one left here..."
Also, this is already the third time that Brother Ba has asked someone to send him a pair of cards and an account book.
When I pushed the account book for the first time, Grandma Yun was there; when I pushed the account book for the second time, Yun Haitang was there.
This time I’m pushing it again. Should the Eighth Prince take care of the housework himself, or should he choose someone from among the palace ladies in the backyard?
The nanny then put away the cards and account books, and then came over and whispered: "Are you using Fujin as a steward? You only gave the account books but not the keys..."
Fucha said: "That's just right. It's good that the accounts are clear. From now on, it will be the same..."
Aunt Yun and Yaqib couple controlled the Prince's Mansion, so it was hard to tell what was in the warehouse. Who knew how much the couple had emptied out, so it was just right not to touch it.
only……
Mrs. Fucha looked in the direction of the main courtyard and ordered her mother: "Look everywhere and tell me carefully. If anyone imitates the Yaqibs and his wife and betrays the master and disrespects his direct descendant Fujin, all of them will be kicked out. If anyone finds that someone disrespects Fujin,
If you report it, you will be rewarded with half a year's monthly payment..."
Grandma listened carefully and went down to deliver the message.
Mrs. Fucha was distracted looking at the bamboo in the corner.
There were a lot of rumors outside, and some of them reached her ears.
She was a little unsure now.
After all, there are quite a few women in the Babeizi Mansion, but except for the Bafujin movement, there has been no movement at all.
If the Fucha family had not married in before, they would have speculated like others, thinking that it was probably the problem with Ba Fujin.
Jealousy dominates the husband and does not tolerate others. He has had no father and mother since he was a child, and he has failed to take care of himself.
But after half a year in the mansion, the Fucha family knew that there were more women in the mansion than outsiders.
She had only thought that they were one Fu Jin and two Geges, but when she came here, she discovered that there were four more palace ladies under the name of the Eighth Prince, who were allotted to them in the 34th year of Kangxi's reign.
At that time, the emperor gave the eldest son a beautiful daughter from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, one for the eldest elder brother, one for the third elder brother, two for the fourth elder brother, two for the fifth elder brother, and four for the eighth elder brother as the younger son.
However, the eighth prince did not take over the house at that time, and only served as a palace maid. It was not until the year of his wedding in the thirty-seventh year that he got two more beauties from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he started to take over the house.
The four people before were considered palace members in the palace.
When they came out to open the mansion, those few people were reduced according to the rules of Princess, and they were regarded as concubines.
As a result, among the nine women in this mansion, only Bafujin had any movement.
Three years of junior high school.
Mrs. Fucha really felt unsure.
Although she is the concubine of the prince designated by the emperor, she has not been granted a royal title so far.
Not only her, but even Bafujin did not formally apply for the title.
It's not that Eighth Prince is cool, it's that the rules are not complete now.
The opening of the Prince's Mansion the year before last was also hasty.
Even Dafu Jin did not get the title of concubine of the county king.
The Fucha family is already worried about the issue of heirs...
If there is still no movement in Eighth Prince's inner house, there will be more and more rumors.
What will happen to the eighth prince then?
Mrs. Fucha narrowed her eyes.
Anyway, whoever is willing to be favored will be favored, she should just be the housekeeper's side Fujin...

Imperial Palace, Main Hall of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The palace papers have all been returned to the palace, and the Holy Emperor has taken the soldiers of the Eight Banners out of the capital.
Brother Jiu returned to the Yamen and drank half a pot of tea.
Seeing the twelfth elder brother sitting nearby, he thought of business and said: "It just so happens that you have some free time. Tomorrow I will start to make some calculations about the population of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including women and children in Dingkou.
Try to finish the calculation within ten days..."
The Zuoling of the Eight Banners itself is a household registration system, and the household registers of each family are in the hands of the inner Zuoling and the inner management.
The twelfth elder brother stood up, listened, and responded.
The ninth elder brother glanced at the twelfth elder brother. The twelfth elder brother's maternal wife was also from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
His maternal grandfather was also a doctor during his lifetime, and his uncle was a doctor in Guangshan Ku, and later transferred to military service, and is now a military officer.
I have never heard of them taking any care of the twelfth elder brother, and the age and status of the twelfth elder brother are not old enough to show favor to his maternal family.
Brother Ninth took care of other official duties.
The twelfth elder brother didn't delay and went down to order some people.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs currently has between seventy and eighty left-wing collars and about a hundred internal collars, involving several thousand households with a population of 10,000. It will take some time to make a clear calculation.
After Brother Jiu finished processing the official documents, he felt a little worried while holding the pen.
In the Prince's Mansion, there are two inner left leaders and one inner leader.
The livelihood of these people has become his concern.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has three banners, and the population of several thousand households has become a source of worry for the royal family.
Fortunately, there are many shortages in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and there are many people serving in the palace, so there is no need to worry about this for the time being.
But when the new left collar is analyzed, we will have to take it into consideration.
There is also a dressing room.
These officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs all live in the official offices of the Imperial City and are waiting to be assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, the location of the Imperial City is fixed, and the population has nearly doubled, making it a bit crowded.
In addition, two generations of princes have lowered their banners and brought their civilian population with them. In total, there are twenty to thirty inner left leaders and inner management leaders, but these people still live in the imperial city.
Just because the inner city is also full, the number of official houses is getting smaller and smaller, and there is no new place to arrange these people.
This is also a problem.
Brother Ninth also recorded it.
If he can't solve it, let those who can solve it find a way.
If there is no way, the imperial city can only maintain the status quo, a mess...
