Qi Fujin sat on top of Shu Shu and looked at San Fujin's position, feeling curious in his heart.
When everyone was talking to Si Fujin, she asked Shu Shu in a low voice: "Is the Crown Princess sick?"
Didn’t you just come to Haidian yesterday?
With the princess's temperament, she would not complain of illness if she was not feeling well.
If he is really seriously ill, should they go visit him?
Shu Shu whispered: "The emperor's grandson is ill, and the princess has returned to the city."
Qi Fujin nodded, with a slight smile on his face.
She was also a legitimate mother, so if her concubine became seriously ill, she would also have to worry about it.
In an ordinary family, the legitimate wife and the legitimate mother can be more wanton. If the natal family is confident enough, there is no need to take these concubines and concubines in their eyes.
But not the royal family.
The Eighth Fortune Jin was sitting at the bottom of the Four Fortune Jins, and the Tenth Fortune Jin was at the top, eating chicken breast meat, which tasted like chewing wax.
It was a hot day and she didn't want to eat meat, but she followed the crowd in front of everyone.
She knew that no one might pay attention to whether she ate or not, but she couldn't bear to be looked at by others.
That's good...
As one of the princes, Fujin, she sat in the crowd...
Before, she was outstanding in everything because she was afraid that others would not see her; now, she is afraid that others will see her...
Shifujin feasted happily, and the food was delicious. What he ate was not mutton or chicken, but roasted quail.
The baked skin is crispy and tastes delicious.
Everyone was seated separately, and after finishing her portion, her eyes fell on the table next door.
Ba Fu Jin did not touch the roasted quail.
Although Shi Fujin was acquainted with her, she was also divided among people. She hurriedly moved her eyes away, looked to the opposite side, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, when will Zhuangzi come over to deliver food?"
Shu Shu said: "Anytime is fine. It's close to here. Whatever you want to eat, I can ask someone to deliver some tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Shi Fujin nodded hurriedly and said, "That's great. Sister-in-law Jiu will leave some quails for me when the time comes. I want to fry them and eat them, so that I can chew the bones together."
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to catch some for you."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother said: "What else?"
Shu Shu said: "There are also turtle doves and pheasants, but they are not fat now and will be better in autumn. Wild boars are available all year round, but the big pigs cannot be eaten because they taste bad. If you want to eat them, you can catch the smaller ones.
."
After hearing this, the Queen Mother hurriedly said: "The wild boar is very powerful. I heard that even the tiger and the blind bear are no match. If you are careful to hurt people, it is better not to be captured."
Shu Shu explained: "It's not that we catch them specially, but there are crops at the foot of the mountain. Wild boars like to go down the mountain to look for food. There are many traps dug at the foot of the mountain. If you don't catch them, the crops will be ruined. They will come down in groups.
It can damage dozens of acres of land at night..."
The Queen Mother said: "Then we must catch him quickly."
What Shu Shu mainly thinks about is that wild boars are all lean meat, so if they are bred with domestic pigs, the second generation of wild boars will become lean pigs, which will give them more choices.
San Fujin glanced at Shu Shu and said, "Are the eggs you are sending around the place from Zhuangzi?"
Shu Shu's expression remained unchanged, and she nodded with a smile.
Sanfujin felt unhappy when he saw her refusing to dodge, and said: "Then how come everyone else has a share, but not our yard?"
Shu Shu had an innocent look on her face and said: "I don't know, it was arranged by our master. Maybe he knows that there is no shortage of third brother and third sister-in-law!"
San Fujin frowned and said: "Whether we are short or not is ours, whether you give it away or not is yours. We are still cousins, don't you want to say something?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Then I will go back and give our master some advice?"
San Fujin was dissatisfied and said, "It's obviously something that belongs to your village, but you still can't call it your home?"
Shu Shu apologized and said, "Master Jiu has the final say on everything in our house."
Sanfujin hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and said: "That's your dowry, it's not his property, but he has long hands?"
Shu Shu touched her temples and said, "Our master also has good intentions. I haven't cared about anything for the past six months, so I just gave up."
Seeing that San Fujin wanted to talk more, Qi Fujin interrupted and said, "Are the watermelons in Daxing about to be ripe? Are there any others besides watermelons this year?"
Shu Shu said: "It will be good in another ten days, and there will also be a batch of early-ripening cantaloupes."
Qifu Jin immediately said: "As agreed, according to last year's calculations, we can send people to rescue them by then. There are many children in our house, and they don't like to eat in summer, so they have to bear fruit every day."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "You are too polite. How much is the total?"
Qi Fujin shook his head and said, "It's because I don't have much money that I won't take advantage of you. Otherwise, I'll look petty and petty, and I'll get a big advantage later. I'll take advantage of you!"
This is similar to what Jue Luo Shi taught Shu Shu since she was a child.
People in the Eight Banners often have this kind of upbringing. They care about face, for fear of appearing vulgar and being looked down upon by others.
Not only do men want to look good outside, but women also pay attention to their appearance.
San Fujin was standing by, his face was a little hot, and he always felt that there was something in Qi Fujin's words.
She looked at Qi Fujin, feeling puzzled.
Didn't you offend her?
Shu Shu is not biased in this way.
Qi Fujin looked back and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at me for? Is it because I have a smoother face?"
San Fujin's attention was suddenly diverted. Looking carefully, she saw that it was indeed tender and rosy. She couldn't care less and immediately asked Qi Fujin about her maintenance...
Bafujin was sitting on his seat and couldn't even eat the chicken breast.
egg……
Yesterday, she heard someone reported that people from the Ninth Prince's Mansion sent things to the First and Third Houses, but she didn't take it to heart.
Is this all given away?
Didn't you send Third Brother and them here?
What will the elders think?
Haven’t you already made amends?
Bafujin felt a little uncomfortable.
When they came out of the North Garden and everyone dispersed, she and Si Fujin walked back together. She couldn't help but ask Si Fujin: "Sister-in-law Si, Brother Ninth and they didn't give us eggs either..."
Of course Si Fujin knew this, but it was actually not easy for Ba Fujin to mention this matter, so he just pretended not to know.
But now that she brought it up, she could only say: "Uncle Jiu has a child's nature. He will remember whether he is good or bad. As long as his anger subsides, it will be fine. Don't take it to heart."
Bafujin was silent.
In the early years, when she first got married, the thing she couldn't stand the most was that the ninth elder brother was clinging to the eighth elder brother, and he had to go to the eighth elder brother for everything big or small. He was as clingy as a child.
Since when did it stop being sticky?!
Last year, or the year before...

North Garden, Jiu Gege.
Shu Shu looked at her face carefully, with concern.
Jiu Gege's eyes were red and swollen, his nose was also red, and he kept coughing. It looked like a reaction to pollen allergy.
At today's little lunch banquet, not only the Crown Princess was not there, but Jiu Gege was also not there.
So when everyone dispersed, Shu Shu took a step late and came to visit Jiugege.
"I was fine yesterday, but why did I start coughing? What did the doctor say?" Shu Shu was worried.
Physical allergies are themselves a manifestation of low immunity.
Jiu Gege covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed twice, and said: "I was reading a book a few days ago and rested a little late. I got up early yesterday. When I came here, I was a little tired. I walked in the garden in the afternoon.
After a few steps, I looked at the roses and started coughing. The doctor said it was rubella..."
Even though she was given a prescription and took medicine, she still kept coughing and did not go to anyone.
Sifujin came here early and had already visited once before.
Shu Shu said: "Although there is no ringworm on the face, the symptoms are similar to 'peach blossom ringworm'. From now on, my sister should stay away from those flowers and put on a mask when going out for a walk."
Jiugege said in surprise: "Is it because of the roses?"
Shu Shu said: "It may not be it, but it is related to vegetation anyway. From March to May, poplars and catkins come in turn, and other trees mostly bloom at this time. These tree flowers have pollen, which is blown away by the wind.
This is where spring ringworm comes from; the flowers of plants and trees are similar, some are blown away by the wind, and some are picked up by small insects, which also carry pollen around, making people cough easily..."
After hearing this, Jiu Gege breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good to have a reason. I'm still feeling guilty. Is it possible that the wind won't blow in the future?"
Shu Shu grabbed Jiu Gege's wrist. He couldn't be said to be skinny, nor was he much stronger.
She shook her head and said: "When you get better, you have to move more. You can't stay like this anymore, and you can't stay up late at night reading anymore..."
At this point, she pointed at herself and said: "Look at me, what I looked like before and what I look like now. I've been working on it for more than two months, but I'm still at a loss..."
Jiu Gege looked at Shu Shu's look and felt fearful.
She is not a little princess who doesn't understand everything. She is also about the same age as the sisters-in-law behind her.
She thought that her sisters-in-law were all good, each with their own strengths, but after marrying into the royal family, it seemed that only one of them was left to have a son.
Even the ninth sister-in-law is not exempt from the vulgar request for a child.
A person as innocent and innocent as Shi Fujin would not be happy for two years.
She lowered her eyes and whispered: "Sister-in-law Jiu, I'm afraid of this. Can I give birth a few years later?"
Shu Shu: "..."
It was really hard to say this from her mouth.
In an era where many children bring many blessings, contraception is a treason.
She sighed and said: "It's a matter of course for this man and woman to get married, get pregnant and have children..."
At this point, she paused and said in a low voice: "Most of the idle books outside are made by novelists. They cannot be taken as true, and you should not believe them either. You have to ask the imperial doctor about this. I don't know if there is any way from the imperial doctor..."
Jiu Gege blushed and said, "I'd better take good care of myself..."
It's such a shameful thing to say. My friends can just say it in private, but the imperial doctor has to take a pulse. I don't dare to think about it...

Forbidden City, the main office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The third elder brother came over and asked someone to get the official book.
He planned to select the nine-gege marriage property and go to Changchun Garden to see him in the afternoon.
hey-hey……
The emperor will also give you food when the time comes.
After receiving the instructions, I went to the accounting department and brought the booklet over.
The third elder brother looked through it and felt sad in his heart.
After all, it was the Queen Mother who raised her. Not only was she the only one among the princesses, she also overshadowed their brothers.
They divided their properties early last year, and none of them had a rent-collecting shop in the imperial city.
Good things come in pairs. At least you need to choose two shops, and there are also two small courtyards of official houses in the inner city that are easy to collect rent.
In the imperial city, the busiest places are Xihuamen Street and Di'anmen Street. Third Brother will look at these two places first.
When he saw "five old shops with a rent of 48 taels of silver", the third elder brother had the idea of harming others and not benefiting himself.
Then he shook his head. This job is also a double-edged sword. If you do it well, you will get a lot of success with one stone and sell it well. If you don't do it well, you will get many complaints.
Such records were recorded one by one, and the locations were too vague. He looked at them unrealistically, so he decided to go there in person and pick out two prosperous shops to add to the nine-gege dowry list.
He is so attentive when doing errands.
He stood up and saw the yellow belt around his waist. He called the eunuch in and asked for a belt to put on.
This makes me feel more comfortable and avoids attracting attention...
