Chapter 2068 Start preparations

In the front yard and living room, Brother Jiu was giving orders to Guidan.

"I bought all these fancy Western items, not necessarily in this style, as long as they can move by themselves..."

Ni Guzhu returned to the North Garden.

Brother Jiu discussed with her that he would keep the little fan figure for one day and give it to her tomorrow.

Now he will give Guidan a demonstration and serve as a reference for Guidan.

Guidan looked at the little man waving the fan and said, "Do you want to buy them all? In recent years, many foreign goods shops have opened in the capital, not only in the inner city, but also in the south city."

Guidan had some impressions. She remembered seeing a butterfly that could flap its wings.

Before Shi Fujin opened a foreign goods shop, there were foreign goods in the capital, but they were mostly sold in places like antique stores and gold and silver buildings.

When Shi Fujin opened a shop selling foreign goods to make money, he naturally fell into the eyes of others. In the past few years, he followed suit and opened many shops selling foreign goods.

"Buy them all. It will be of use to me. You can arrange a few suitable people to search the capital..."

Brother Ninth said.

Guidan was eager to take over this kind of job and said: "Then I will start looking for you tomorrow."

The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner. If you come across a nice little mirror, comb or something, you can buy it for Sangege as a holiday gift.

Brother Jiu asked: "The selling price is as many taels of silver as the selling price. No counter-offering is allowed."

Guidan has been working as an errand for several years and already knows the taboos.

He said sarcastically: "My slave has changed his mind a long time ago, Lord Jiu, don't worry!"

Thinking about it now, he was so courageous back then. He thought that under the banner of the prince, he could do whatever he wanted in the capital, and wanted to buy a shop at half price.

Is it easy to take advantage of that?

As long as it is revealed, it means it is not true, and it will be implicated on the ninth elder brother.

He thought that he was a new rich man, and he didn't even pay attention to the old nobles like Dong E's family, so he fell into trouble.

The Eight Banners are the Eight Banners of the royal family and the Eight Banners of the nobles.

The Guoluoluo family is nothing.

Brother Jiu snorted lightly and said, "Just change it. I can't tolerate my good reputation being ruined!"

Guidan: "..."

When Guidan came out, he met the fifth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother holds Qin Tian Jian’s barometer in his hand.

"This servant has met the Fifth Master and wishes to pay his respects to the Fifth Master..."

Guidan hurriedly walked forward to say hello to the fifth elder brother.

The fifth elder brother raised his hand and shouted, looked at Guidan, looked at it carefully, and said: "I remember that you were not in this shape before? How did you lose weight?"

I was obviously fat earlier, but I seemed to have lost weight all of a sudden. The key is that I have maintained the weight and have not gained weight again.

This is so rare.

The fifth prince's weight goes up and down, but every time he loses weight, he gains more weight and looks fatter.

Now that he was sitting, he felt uncomfortable and felt his stomach tummy.

Gui Dan said: "That time Gui Yuan got into a lawsuit in Shengjing. I went to Shengjing and lost weight after running back and forth. Later I worked as an errand in Baylor Mansion. The guards and soldiers here had monthly exams, riding and shooting.

Pick it up and you will no longer be fat."

The fifth elder brother was a little confused after hearing this.

It seems that if you want to lose weight, you still have to work hard.

But he was on an urgent business trip and it wasn't his turn.

Riding and shooting every day will only increase the appetite, but it will never lose weight.

The fifth elder brother waved his hand, sent Guidan away, and entered the fifth house himself.

Guidan looked at the back of Fifth Elder Brother with a wry smile on his lips.

He didn't give the real reason.

The real reason was that he entered the Sentence Department that year and saw the worms in rice and the maggots in sauce, which made him sick. After that, his appetite decreased.

Every time he sees food, he tends to think too much and loses appetite.

After all these years, eating still doesn’t taste good.

It's just that it's hard to say these words, otherwise it would seem like you are blaming Brother Ninth...

The ninth elder brother was about to return to the main courtyard when he saw the fifth elder brother coming over.

The two brothers went to the living room to talk.

"Have you chosen a good day?"

Brother Jiu saw the barometer in his hand and said.

The fifth elder brother said: "The five days of fourteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twenty-third are suitable for traveling. Before the twentieth, it will be sunny and no rain. The days after the twentieth have not been calculated yet."

So, choose the days within the first four days.

Brother Jiu said: "The yurt will be set up in one day, so hurry up early and save it from getting hotter every day."

The fifth elder brother said: "I think so too, but if you are bringing nieces, it would be difficult to choose the day of the 14th."

The day when Sangege of Yuqing Palace entertains guests is the twelfth day, followed by Princess Si's family, and then it's Tana's turn.

They can't just take the nieces out to play on their uncle's whim. It's better to do it in the name of the children.

In that case, it's hard to choose a date now. We have to wait until Brother Si's family sends a message.

Brother Jiu said: "Then I won't bring my nieces with me this time. Wait until the little sisters have a treat and it's Niguzhu's turn to treat us. Then we can bring our nieces there, so we won't have to take care of them."

The yurt has been set up, so don’t dismantle it yet.

The fifth elder brother thought about it and said, "That's fine. I'm also worried that there are too many people and there are places that I can't take care of."

Brother Jiu said: "Little Shiba still has to be taken care of. I'll pick him up when I'm older."

The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, okay..."

That was the younger brother. Because he was still young, the brothers had never seen each other a few times.

Today is already the tenth day of the lunar month, and there are still many things that need to be arranged. After the fifth elder brother finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

After seeing off the fifth elder brother, the ninth elder brother remembered not asking how many yurts were needed.

Yurt…

He also wanted to take Fujin there alone for two days...

He went back to the hospital.

"You met Xiaojiu. How is Xiaojiu's health? Can he go out with us to play?"

Brother Jiu thought of Jiu Gege and asked.

Shu Shu said: "My health is fine, but the road from the capital to here is flat, and the road from here to Baiwang Mountain is ordinary. I will go see her tomorrow. It's best not to bother and talk about it after a while."

It's not yet three months old.

When traveling at this time, no one can bear the consequences.

Brother Jiu said: "That must be agreed in advance, so as not to keep her uncomfortable..."

*

North Garden, Jiugege is right there.

She and the Queen Mother were looking at the things Ni Guzhu had brought back.

"My eldest aunt gave it to me, my second aunt gave it to me..."

Ni Guzhu pointed out two things to the elders.

What Zhang gave was a clay cat with the pattern of a civet cat. It looked lifelike, only three or four inches long, and all the hair on it was visible.

What Qingru gave him was a gilt copper puppy. It looked exquisite, with a collar inlaid with rubies.

Jiu Gege is a good judge of goods. He pointed at the clay cat and said: "This should be from Hangzhou. I also asked someone to buy similar clay dolls during my southern tour that year..."

As for the gilt puppy, it can be seen that the craftsmanship was made in the palace. Even if it did not come from the palace, it was made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"It's beautiful, this is Huahua, this is Xiaojin..."

Ni Guzhu got a new partner, and he didn't forget to name him.

The Queen Mother looked at these two exquisite little objects with a smile on her face.

At first glance, it looks like it is a child's plaything, not just an object that is popular. The two aunts also paid great attention to it.
