Madam Bo has brought three children and they have already settled down.
She brought the big princess to the north room, the wet nurse for the three little ones, and the nanny placed them in the east and west compartments of the backyard.
The eldest brother and the second brother are in the east and west wings of the main courtyard.
Different from the capital city, it is obviously much cooler here, perhaps because there are many seas outside and many trees.
"Check the screen window first and see if you can change it to a tighter one later to prevent 'little bites' from getting in and biting people..."
Mrs. Bo stood in front of the window, looking at the light green window screen with some worry.
Shu Shu said: "The room will get stuffy no matter how close it is, so I made tents for them and put them outside the carriage."
There are also insect repellent mosquito coils, but they cannot be used in the three children's rooms. They can only be used in the uncle's house.
Shu Shu felt embarrassed and said angrily: "I asked you to go to the front. If you don't go, it will be crowded in the backyard."
The north room in the backyard is one and a half feet shorter than the main courtyard, and is not as broad and cool as the main courtyard.
Shu Shu had previously thought of moving her living room to the front yard, while Mrs. Bo took her three children in the main yard, and the accompanying people were accommodated in the back yard.
My uncle didn't allow it, saying it was against the rules.
"There are no foreigners here..." Shu Shu thought of this and said to the uncle.
Mrs. Bo said sternly: "Rules are rules, especially for the royal family. You have to remember that rules come before harmony. You are the head of the family. There is no reason to give up the main house. The person who comes is no longer a foreigner, but it doesn't matter whether it is an uncle or a sister-in-law.
, whether you are an uncle or an aunt, you all need to avoid relationships, this is respect..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but said: "The courtyard is still small. It will be great if we have our own separate courtyard sometime."
The uncle said: "There are only a few people here, but you feel crowded. Think about Prince Zhi and the others, they stayed in my brother's house for so many years before they moved out."
Shu Shu remembered something and couldn't help but whispered to Mrs. Bo: "Ah Mou, the backyard of my brother's house has a structure of five squares and four ears, and there are no side rooms. Then tell me, at that time, the eighth master had two princesses and four concubines.
, how to accommodate six people?”
Before, she really thought that the first palace was the same as the second palace, with only two palace ladies. She never expected that two waves were given, a total of six.
Last year, the news about Eighth Prince came one after another. Later, he was said to be "ill" and was talked about in the backyard.
It makes sense that when the Eighth Blessed Jin first married into the palace, he was like a balloon all day long, and no one would be upset if he saw it.
Mrs. Bo patted her and said, "What's wrong? Are you gossiping about others?"
Shu Shu was caught in the act. She looked at her uncle with accusations and said, "Ah Mou, you are wrong. Why don't you learn from someone who is good at it? Why do you start taking action against someone who is not good at learning from you?"
Mrs. Bo hummed softly: "I want to talk about you, why are you getting more and more wrong and starting to become willful?"
Shu Shu let out a breath and said: "This is in front of A Mou. I don't want people to be relaxed and relaxed. Go and ask outside. Who doesn't praise me?"
They are all extremely thoughtful.
The uncle said: "A lot of right and wrong come from the tongue. What if you speak smoothly at home but don't do it outside?"
Shu Shu became obedient and nodded honestly: "Okay, I won't mention this anymore. I just feel that we can't live together. There were two princesses in our two houses. At that time, we were paired with four palace ladies. There were six over there. Let's talk about it.
With eight people to serve and fourteen masters and servants, there are only nine rooms..."
If we follow the rules of the palace, the prince will be guarded by dozens of people when he lands; the emperor's grandson, minus the others, will be guarded by dozens of people.
When we arrived at the Prince's Mansion, everything was really simple.
There are two wet nurses beside each person, and the two nannies work in shifts. At the eldest brother and the second brother's place, there is a nanny Qi with ginkgo taking turns to keep an eye on them; at the eldest brother's place, Mrs. Bo also arranged for people around her to follow them.
In addition, there are six rough envoys, two mesons who are responsible for the three young masters, clothes cleaning, and four wet nurses, who are responsible for the food and daily life of the nannies.
In total, there are about twenty people.
"Sure enough, if there are more people, the money will be thrown away, no matter if there are more women or heirs..."
Shu Shu said to the uncle.
When the uncle mentioned this, he felt distressed and said: "Now they are still small, so you can deal with them. When they are older, they will still have enough manpower. Don't wrong the children. How can you be so frugal?"
She was the legitimate daughter of the county prince, and she grew up in a noble family. When she grew up, she became the housewife. She guarded the ancestral property and lived a comfortable and carefree life. She never cared about money.
Shu Shu quickly said aggrievedly: "Isn't it because of frugality? Isn't it because of worries about crowds and clutter?"
The uncle said: "We can't do this in the future. It's better to train the manpower as soon as possible..."
Speaking of this, she thought of Xiao Chun and the others, and said: "The younger girls are different from the older ones. The affection is here, and you can use it with peace of mind. When you choose someone in the future, don't always think of picking the older one.
It is better for the younger ones to come in, and they should also keep an eye on their character and behavior. It will take a few years for a few younger ones to feel at ease..."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, I'll decide in the next few years."
After chatting with Mrs. Bo for a while, Shu Shu returned to the main room.
*
In the main room, besides the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother was also there.
The two brothers were sitting by the kang, looking at Fengsheng and Akdan lying on top.
When two brothers are put together, their size is obvious.
When the two children were awake, the ninth elder brother asked someone to carry them to the main room to show off to the tenth elder brother.
Although Fengsheng was not as good as Da Gege, he looked like a normal child. He looked chubby, his mouth was grinning, his gums were exposed, and he smiled in a good-tempered way.
Akdan was motionless with comfortable old clothes under his body, looking cute and well-behaved.
Brother Ten was standing by and said with surprise: "I didn't feel good about other people's children before, but felt impatient. Now when I look at Fengsheng and Akdan, I just feel that they are strange and not affectionate enough...
…”
The ninth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said without shame: "This is called 'Aiwujiwu'. Who said we two brothers are better? When your elder brother is born, I will feel the same pain."
Speaking of this, he remembered that he was thinking about having his son, and felt a little weird.
Lao Shi was so generous at that time and nodded happily. Shouldn't he be more generous as well?
If Lao Shi has no son, will he give Xiao Er to him?
Will Shu Shu be annoyed?
But I will discuss it carefully with her, and I should still give her the waiter, right?
Otherwise Lao Shi would be so pitiful.
Brother Ninth felt like he was a little bad.
By that time, Shu Shu's fist will probably become hard...
However, Shu Shu has always loved Lao Shi, so she may not agree with it, but she feels very uncomfortable in her heart.
Brother Jiu immediately said: "In a few days, you can go to Hongluo Temple. It will not rain for a while and the roads will be difficult to travel. Stay two more nights and give more money..."
It's best for my brother to have his own flesh and blood, and then I won't have to be in trouble.
Even if Shu Shu agrees to give it, he will feel uncomfortable.
As I said before, we must be fair to our three children and be unbiased parents.
But if you really want to give one away, can you still call it impartial?
When Akdan grows up, how uncomfortable will it be to think that he was the one abandoned by his parents?
The tenth elder brother heard this and said: "My younger brother asked the imperial doctor privately. My younger brother Fujin is not suitable for pregnancy in the past two years. It is estimated that it will be two years later..."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu asked: "Is it because of my health? What prescription did the imperial doctor prescribe?"
He accompanied the Holy Emperor on two tours to the north, and he also knew that there was a shortage of doctors on the grasslands, and that even the children of Mongolian princes were somewhat born and raised.
In a bitter cold place, women are prone to cold and cold.
Now Brother Jiu is not only familiar with Materia Medica, he also knows some medical theories.
For women, coldness is a serious problem and makes it difficult to get pregnant.
During the reign of Emperor Shizu, there were no pregnant Mongolian concubines in the harem, perhaps because of this.
Brother Jiu was a little worried that Shi Fujin was not in good health.
Brother No. 10 nodded and said: "There are some symptoms. Once the three days are over, we will take good care of them."
The ninth elder brother didn't want to ask in detail. He only looked at the tenth elder brother up and down and said: "As long as it's not your fault, if it is your fault, you can't hide the disease and avoid treatment!"
The tenth elder brother didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Don't worry about it. My brother asks for Ping An's pulse every ten days. If there is anything wrong, the imperial doctor will have reported it to the emperor."
Besides, they are all men, so if there is anything wrong with them, they should be checked by the imperial doctor?
Brother Ninth hesitated for a moment and said: "In that case, there should be nothing wrong with Brother Bazhao, so why has there been no harvest in these years?"
The tenth prince paused, thought for a moment, and said: "There may not be anything wrong..."
Brother Jiu looked over and said, "What did you hear?"
The tenth elder brother said: "In the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi's reign, Khan Amma pointed out the people in the palace to his brothers. Eighth Brother pointed out four..."
"Huh?" Ninth Brother said in surprise: "Isn't that because Bago is the youngest son in the first wave of elder brothers?"
If you look at the favor the emperor father has for his thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, you will know that the younger sons are different after all.
"Back then, Bage was only fifteen, so this 'partiality' was a bit unexpected. Even if someone wanted to teach people about things, shouldn't they also think about taking care of Bage's body? Lao Shisan has been favored in the past few years, and he is already fifteen, and he has not yet
Send the palace girl down..."
The tenth prince analyzed.
Brother Jiu was stunned, it sounded very reasonable.
The tenth elder brother said: "Half and half, if it's not for health reasons, then it's for other reasons. Maybe Khan Ama doesn't want Bago to be too close to Prince Anjun's house. That's also true."
Although Guo Luoluo had not yet married into the palace at that time, she already had a somewhat arrogant and extravagant reputation.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Both reasons make sense."
Just as Shu Shu came back, Brother Ten stood up and said goodbye, preparing to go back to the Sixth House first.
Everyone was moving in a hurry this afternoon, and it was getting late, so Shu Shu said: "The dining room is in a mess. You will come here to eat in a while. In the morning, I made a stove of smoked sauce and various kinds of rice dumplings. Let's deal with it first...
…”
Brother Ten agreed with a smile and said without any courtesy, "Then we'll come over when the time comes..."
After saying that, he went out.
At this moment, Akdan had already heard Shu Shu's voice, his little arms and legs were kicking wildly, and his little head turned sideways.
Shu Shu looked at her, her heart melted, and she rushed forward to hug her.
When Akdan reached her arms, he immediately became quiet. He just raised his head and stared at Shu Shu's face with his big black grape-like eyes.
Shu Shu looked at the almond-shaped eyes that were exactly the same as those of Yi Fei and said: "Akdan looks really good..."
Speaking of this, she glanced at Brother Ninth.
He has thin eyebrows and narrow eyes, and is not ugly if you are used to seeing him, but when it falls on Da Gege's face, it makes people feel a little regretful.
Brother Jiu came over, looked at Akdan and said: "It was a mistake when I was born. He is more squeamish than Da Gege. He should be the youngest..."
The parents were all talking around Akdan. Fengsheng stopped and stretched out his little arms to grab the yellow belt of Ninth Brother and put it into his mouth.
Shu Shu saw it and hurriedly put down Akdan and pulled the yellow belt from Fengsheng's hand.
Brother Jiu saw that he was drooling, and while wiping it with a handkerchief, he felt disgusted and said, "This little kid loves to drool so much."
Shu Shu said: "This is just the beginning. It will be better after the teeth have grown..."
She knew a lot about the theory of parenting, and now she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
Fortunately, I asked Xiaochun to prepare the saliva towels in advance. They are triangular towels made of soft cotton gauze. I change them into three or four pieces a day to keep my chest dry...
