Chapter 950: The Ancestors Pity the Monthly Ticket)
After a while, the two babies fell asleep.
Shu Shu didn't let anyone move and just let them stay in the upper room.
She and Brother Jiu also took a nap for half an hour.
Summer is long and we got up early today. After working hard for most of the day, the two of us were tired.
When Shu Shu woke up, she saw Brother Jiu looking at the two children with disgust.
Walnut called the nanny to come in and took the two children down.
Brother Ninth's expression was still unpredictable. He looked at the place where the two babies had been lying, covered his nose, and said: "Let's go out first..."
Shu Shu couldn't stop laughing when she saw it.
At first, she was disgusted with it, but now... she's actually somewhat used to it...
The couple went from the west room to the east room, and Brother Jiu took out a breath and said: "Let's go to the wing to see them..."
Shu Shu thought of diapers, which seemed impossible to do because they were made of water-locking materials.
But such a handful of shit and urine makes the adults feel uncomfortable, and so does the child.
There is already toilet paper now, using straw paper.
It's okay for adults to use, but it's rough for children to use.
Therefore, after the three children landed, the usual things they used to wipe their buttocks were gauze and cotton, which could be washed repeatedly.
But when you think about it, it's disgusting.
What about toilet paper that kids can use?
Shu Shu thought of the palace paper mentioned in "The Palace Maid's Talk", which used cotton paper.
The so-called cotton paper is a kind of calligraphy and painting paper. It is not made of cotton, but made of bark. It has very good toughness and the fibers are as slender as cotton. It is called cotton paper.
This tissue paper can become high-quality toilet paper after being kneaded, sprayed with water, ironed, and folded.
Shu Shu couldn't help but feel moved, but she remembered Mrs. Bo's teachings, that rules should come before harmony.
Now that the emperor respects Confucianism, if they use calligraphy and painting paper and transform it into toilet paper, it will be a source of trouble, and it will become a reason to be criticized later.
Shu Shu thought of the forest land in Baiwang Mountain and said, "Sir, is there a paper mill in the building?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and shook his head: "There are masterpieces, there are paintings, there is no paper mill..."
Shu Shu said: "In a few days, let's go to Baiwang Mountain. The forest land there is full of miscellaneous trees. Let's see if we can find a craftsman in the capital. Let's make a paper mill ourselves and nothing else.
, just straw paper that children can use..."
Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu and said, "Isn't it too troublesome? If you think the tissue paper is not good, just ask someone to buy better tissue paper."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "That's too much. They are just the emperor's grandson. When I was the little prince in the palace, I didn't talk about using tissue paper extravagantly."
Brother Jiu hesitated and said, "But it's made of miscellaneous wood, isn't it just tissue paper?"
Isn’t that what you did yourself?
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "When the time comes, I'll add some reeds to it and make soft straw paper..."
I made it myself, and I didn’t intend to send it to a scholar’s shop for sale, nor did I bleach it. The original color grass pulp paper was just treated as straw paper. What can others say?
There is plenty of water in Haidian, but the most indispensable thing is reeds.
In this way, the cost of papermaking can also be reduced.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you. It shouldn't be difficult to find a craftsman for this. Many people make their own papyrus and sell it..."
At this point, he became a little unhappy. He looked at Shu Shu and said, "I agreed before that I would not put my children in front of me. Now you are thinking about making a paper mill for them. Why don't you think about it first?"
Shu Shu glared at him and said, "Isn't it for me? After seeing my disgusted look, I wanted to solve the problem of these children's poop and urine earlier!"
Brother Jiu's face became better now and he said, "This is the right way. We are the two of us who will spend our lives together."
Shu Shu thought of Gao Bin and said, "Didn't I say before that corn and potatoes are also grown here in Haidian? Is Gao Bin also here?"
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Can I stay here for one ten-day period every month? In addition to the land here in Haidian, I also chose the sandy land in Daxing and the mountainous land in Changping. In this way, I can try planting and know the characteristics of different places."
Different yields.”
Shu Shu is looking forward to corn and potatoes, and quickly promotes them, and then she can eat green corn.
It's getting dark now, but when Brother Ten and his wife came over, it was still bright.
In addition to the smoked sauce, marinated pork ribs, pine nut tripe, garlic sausage, and pig ears that Shu Shu mentioned, there are also a few side dishes added here, including spicy shredded pork, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried shredded beans, and scrambled eggs with green onions.
In addition to rice dumplings, the staple food also includes lotus leaf pancakes, and seaweed and egg drop soup.
The lotus leaf cake is convenient for filling with meat or vegetables, and it tastes delicious.
Shifujin was full again, so he took Shushu around the side rooms, visited Fengsheng and Akdan, and then took her to look at all the other empty courtyards.
The first and second apartments are reserved for the third elder brother and his wife, and the seventh elder brother and his wife. The third and fourth apartments are reserved for the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.
There are already people at the first office and the second office. It was the two Baylor houses that sent people over first to clean up.
However, three and four are still empty.
But before dinner, Brother Jiu also asked someone to open the door and briefly sweep it.
Shi Fujin said regretfully: "It would be great if the fourth sister-in-law and the fifth sister-in-law were here..."
Shu Shu said: "The Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess will be here tomorrow. If you are bored, go to the garden."
Shi Fujin shook his head and said: "It's not good to live in the past. We can't even play cards with the Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess. They read the cards too slowly, which makes people anxious."
Shu Shu said: "Then let's take a good rest first, and then we can think about where to go for a while."
Nominally, the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are both under "grounding". Don't be too showy, they will have to pass this time.
Shi Fujin nodded and said: "Don't worry, let's talk about it later..."
The couple walked around Beiwusuo for a long time, and Brother Jiu sent Sun Jin out to look for someone.
"Fu Jin, the master said, don't be tired, the sun is full now..." Sun Jin bowed.
Shu Shu touched his forehead. There was a thin layer of sweat, but his body was warm and quite comfortable.
People still need to move more so that their blood can become alive.
But it was almost done today. She nodded and called Shi Fujin to go back.
When the Tenth Brother and his wife left, the Ninth Brother looked a little unhappy and complained: "You have only been in confinement for a few days, and the old Shi Fujin is dragging you around without knowing how to take care of others!"
Shu Shu held a bowl of dendrobium tea in her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, sir. If you walk a few more steps, I feel a lot more comfortable. It looked like it was rusty before. There was some wood and some shade. This evening.
After two laps, I felt a lot more relaxed..."
Starting tomorrow, you can walk around more in the evening. Even if you don't go out, it's good to take a walk in the yard.
Shu Shu thought of the standing target and said, "Sir, we will start asking people to set up the target tomorrow. Let's pick up the archery?"
Brother Jiu would have been dissatisfied before, but now that Shu Shu's hands and feet were cold after giving birth, he said, "Okay, yes!"
In a few years, I will give my little brother, little Ge Ge a lesson. He must not miss out on his timidity. He still needs the five-power bow.
The evening breeze is blowing, cool and pleasant.
Different from the sweltering heat in Beijing, the temperature here is much lower and the windows have to be closed in the morning and evening.
The couple sleeps in each other's arms.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, when the two of them woke up, it was already Chen Zheng.
Walnut and ginkgo are already waiting at the door.
Xiao Chun didn't come over. She had chosen the little girl to join the house. She will stay in the house these days to teach the little girls the rules together with Aunt Xing.
When Shu Shu called the two people in, Walnut said: "Fujin, there is movement in the third and fourth offices."
Shu Shu nodded, that was the arrival of the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
She then told Bai Guo: "Tell the kitchen to prepare two food boxes and send them over."
Every time the Holy Master comes to Changchun Garden, he always leaves the palace early. After all the hard work, he must be hungry by now.
Ging Guo responded and went down to spread the word.
The ninth elder brother later realized that he thought of the twelfth elder brother, patted his forehead and said: "I forgot about the twelfth elder brother..."
When I was building the elder brother's house here in the North Garden, the reason why I arranged six courtyards instead of five was because I wanted to have eleven courtyards. From the eldest elder brother to the fourteenth elder brother, everyone can be counted, so as to save time.
Just like in previous years, there is only one new fifth house and five courtyards, which cannot be divided among each other, and they have to take turns to live there.
Shu Shu was also speechless.
The twelfth elder brother's presence is really too weak. He doesn't seem to be included in the second wave of elder brothers, but rather like the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother. He is easily forgotten.
Brother Ninth frowned and said: "The Holy Emperor moved to Changchun Garden, and the princes and grandsons who went to study in the study also came with them. The only one left in the palace was Brother Twelve..."
Shu Shu remembered that the twelfth elder brother still had errands, so he said: "Don't worry about this now. Didn't the twelfth elder brother take charge of the internal manufacturing office, the imperial pharmacy and the palace errands? It would be more convenient not to stay in the palace.
"
The key is not to be tied too close to the twelfth prince, as that would look like a "party" when looking back in small groups.
It's okay now, just watching the brothers go on a blind date, but five or ten years later, there will be more suspicions and crimes.
Except for the ferocious Tenth Prince and the Fifth Prince, it is better for the other princes and princes to be close but not close.
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "It's not my turn to speak at this time. It just makes people feel uncomfortable. Is Khan Ama too partial? Brother Thirteen has been with the retinue since the year before last. He is only thirteen years old;
The second elder brother is already sixteen and has not left the capital yet..."
Shu Shu said: "The twelfth elder brother has a quiet temper and doesn't like to come to people. I don't need to worry too much. As long as he is not too different from other princes in the two important matters of marriage and title."
Brother Ninth nodded and said: "What you said is right. They are all sons of Khan Amma. They have five fingers, both short and long. They are all fingers. Among the brothers in the previous wave, Brother Seven did not suffer much from being beaten when he was a child.
I don’t see much grace here, but I am from a middle-class family when I get married, I didn’t fall behind when I was knighted, and I am on par with other brothers, so that’s fine..."
After the couple finished washing, the dining table was set, and the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers arrived.
"Brother Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth, and younger brothers are here to see 'Xiangrui'..."
Before anyone arrived, Brother Fourteen's drake voice arrived first.
Brother Jiu scratched his ears and complained to Shu Shu: "This sound is too unpleasant. I don't even realize it yet, so I like to talk at the top of my voice..."
But Shu Shu knew that she had to take good care of her voice during the voice change period, otherwise it would become a broken voice.
It seems that the Taiyuan Hospital will prescribe herbal tea to nourish the throat. I remember that both the 10th and 13th elder brothers drank it.
At this moment, the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers also arrived outside the door.
Shu Shu stood up and went out, smiling and saying: "I only want my nephew and niece, but I don't miss your ninth brother anymore?"
The fourteenth elder brother called Qian'er and said: "First of all, I would like to say hello to Sister-in-law Nine. You are really awesome. We have been in the Aixinjueluo family for several generations. We have three children at a time. You are the only one!"
"
Shu Shu nodded and returned the courtesy, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the grace of our ancestors, who took pity on my laziness, that saved us trouble."
The fourteenth elder brother felt that the ninth sister-in-law was really good at talking. It was obviously because the ancestors saw that the ninth elder brother was pitiful and did not have many offspring, so they gave her such grace.
Brother Thirteen was nearby and also said hello to Shu Shu.
Brother Jiu was waiting impatiently in the room and said, "What are you waiting for? If you don't come in to talk, if you delay any longer, the food will be cold..."
The fourteenth elder brother heard this and immediately responded: "Come here, come here. I got up early in the morning and was impatient to eat, so I just took care of two mouthfuls. I was already hungry..."
