Unlike Bafujin who was full of resentment, Agesuo's Shushu still maintained a good mood.

good day.

There are big dogs and small dogs, what more do you want?

Learn to be content.

After choosing the color and material of the spring clothes, I started to ask the needleworkers to make them.

Food needs to be prepared later.

That's a big project, so let's wait until the first lunar month.

Xiaochun took out a small account book, which contained the favor transactions that needed to be prepared from the first month to the end of April.

This needs to be prepared piece by piece in advance.

Including the wedding of the 10th prince, birthdays of adults, children’s birthdays, etc.

I still need to prepare a few more free packets.

Be on guard against those who have something to do.

Even if the hostess Shu Shu is not at home and cannot come in person, this gift is indispensable.

If you are polite to many people, you will not be blamed; if you are not polite, you will be criticized.

Especially when Banner people live their lives, gifts from relatives are absolutely indispensable, otherwise it will be a slap in the face.

Walnut was beside me and he memorized it carefully.

When Shu Shu goes out, she will serve as the housekeeper of the Second Institute, and these trivial matters will be handed over to her.

Walnut said: "Fujin, Zhaojia Gege's birthday is in April, and Wang Gege's birthday is in June..."

Because Shu Shu got married at the end of June last year, Brother Jiu would not have thought of this. The birthday gifts given to these two people last year were unprecedented.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then pick two pieces of cloth and two first-class purses and go there. Make a note here. This will be the case for Wang Gege's birthdays in the future..."

Walnut responded and took a pen and ink to write it down.

She learned to keep accounts from Xiao Chun, which was not very neat, but she could still describe it clearly.

It's just that this word is a bit ugly.

There is an oral memoir of a palace maid in later generations, which mentions that the palace maids were not allowed to read.

When Shu Shu saw it at the time, she thought it was true.

Now I feel something is not quite right.

The current number of palace maids is not like the tens of thousands as later generations thought, there are not many in total.

They all come from well-off families, at worst well-off families, and there are many daughters of high-ranking officials.

Thinking of Walnut's uncle's writing style, and the fact that her cousins ​​were good at reading, she thought of a possibility and said: "It turns out that you just don't know Chinese characters. You should know more about Manchu, right?"

The Imperial Household Affairs Bureau's written examination test is mainly in Manchu.

Walnut's family has a long history, so it makes no sense for him to be illiterate.

There was shame on Walnut's face, and he said: "My uncle has taught me, but I don't know how to understand. I always feel that there are little circles, and they all look the same. I really don't dare to say that I know the words..."

Shu Shu thought of this and felt quite the same.

Even though she had learned this since she was a child, she still felt that it was not systematic and vague, and she could only write it reluctantly.

I also feel a headache every time.

Now that I think about it, I am stupid.

The Manchu script appeared less than a hundred years ago. During the Nurhaci era, people were asked to refer to the Mongolian script and create the Manchu script, which became the unmarked Manchu script, commonly known as the old Manchu script.

During the Huang Taiji period, the old Manchu script was improved, adding circles and dots, to distinguish it from the Mongolian script, and it became the dotted Manchu script, which is called New Manchu script.

In fact, no matter which one, they are all based on Mongolian.

Not learning Mongolian but learning Manchu directly would be even more difficult.

Even Xiaochun and the others who studied with Shushu didn't learn Manchu. Walnut didn't know how to do it, and it can't be said to be stupid.

Shu Shu comforted Walnut and said, "I was wrong. It's too difficult. It's normal if you can't learn it."

Speaking of this, Shu Shu thought of Xianglan's departure from the palace and said, "Prepare a pair of gold bracelets and two purses. When Aunt Xianglan is about to leave the palace, please send them to her."

This is not only a reward for leaving the palace, but also means to add makeup.

Xianglan is twenty-five years old, and she went out so as not to delay her marriage, which should not be far away.

The gold bracelets she presented here were of medium weight, each pair was four taels of gold, and they were also very respectable.

Half a year after entering the palace, the person who dealt with the most in Yikun Palace was Xianglan.

It's a hassle-free one.

If there was someone who was restless in the middle, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not be so harmonious.

Shu Shu is not big-hearted and is willing to hold grudges, but he also holds grudges.

She felt that although she looked easy-going on the surface, she actually inherited Enie's coldness.

Not willing to suffer losses, nor willing to take advantage.

All the favors that could be paid for were paid for.

Walnuts were also written down carefully.

The bulk of the expense is the wedding gift for the tenth prince.

Shu Shu prepared two copies here, one was a gift for her sisters-in-law, and the one she presented was a bright gift.

One part is for preparatory makeup.

A suitcase of bags.

Inside are all kinds of silver and gold coins from the Silver House under Shu Shu's name, all of which can be used as rewards.

There is also a box of gold and silver necklaces, longevity locks and the like, which can also be used as daily gifts.

In fact, Shu Shu originally wanted to go back to a shop or a yard.

Last year, the tenth prince transferred a shop to Shu Shu's name as a wedding gift to his brother and sister-in-law.

If there is a favor exchange, returning one person back is nothing.

But Shu Shu felt that it was too clear and eye-catching.

The tenth brother had previously transferred it to Shu Shu's shop, but it had been done quietly long after their wedding day.

But, it's different now.

Kangxi had already started checking the accounts from the Eight Banners Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

If Shu Shu followed the example of the tenth prince, it would be in Kangxi's eyes.

Also in the eyes of others.

At that time, if the villain talks about this, he will be able to sow brotherhood between the ninth elder brother and the other elder brothers.

Before, they were more in love than flesh and blood with their 10th prince, so they could reciprocate politely, but they shouldn't be too explicit.

If you close a shop, you will return to a similar shop or house in a blink of an eye, as if you have settled a previous debt.

Buyin Gege is a Mongolian princess, so there will be no shortage of gold and silver in the dowry, but such a small item should not be prepared.

There is no need to send it to the inner hall with great fanfare, just carry it directly to the tenth prince.

It was originally intended to be convenient for young couples.

It is an old custom in Beijing that shops open on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

The Silver Building under Shu Shu’s name is no exception.

Those two boxes of things were ordered to be done years ago, and the news came back that they were all ready.

Shu Shu plans to have someone take her to the palace at the end of the month.

Because she always keeps various purses here, she asked Yinlou to make an extra one to supplement.

Sending them to the palace together is not eye-catching.

After the guards checked, they would only say that her prince, Fujin, had a rich dowry, a lot of money, and no shortage of expenses.

If her identity were changed, Shu Shu would not dare to reveal her wealth.

There is nothing to be afraid of in this current status.

Everyone is snobbish at heart, and people in the palace are no exception.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace were very polite to the two, not only because Shu Shu was not easy to mess with, but also because she was generous with her actions.

During the previous "reform" of rewards at the Second Institute, there were whispers behind the scenes, saying that Shu Shu was pretending to be generous and actually being stingy, which was why he changed the practice of silver rewards at the elder brother's institution.

In order to prove this, some people made rough statistics in private.
