Xianglan came back and told what she saw and heard in the second house, as well as Jiu Fujin's treatment of Aunt Zhao.
Concubine Yi listened carefully, and couldn't help but laugh when she heard that it was Shu Shu who came forward to solve the problem, instead of hiding behind Brother Jiu, and that it was sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be dealt with according to palace regulations.
Xianglan couldn't help but be curious: "Master, Fujin is young after all. He just married into the palace. How many people are watching him? Is it okay to send people away like this?"
Everyone in this palace is careful when doing things.
Even his own master, who has the strongest holy attachment among the concubines, has never acted wantonly.
"What's wrong? She is the prince Fujin, and her face is my brother's face. The servant wanted to bully her because she was a bride, but he made the wrong idea... The princess, on the other hand, has always been a kind person.
Man, I'm afraid I'm going to be in trouble this time..."
Concubine Yi said with a bit of schadenfreude.
As early as when Queen Niu Colu died and Queen Tong, who was a concubine at the time, began to preside over palace affairs, Concubine Yi and Concubine Hui were the co-managers; when Queen Tong passed away and the harem was left without a master, palace affairs were all about Hui, Yi and De.
, Rong's four concubines share the same management.
The other three all live in the East Sixth Palace. Although there was Concubine Wen Xi in the West Sixth Palace, she did not take care of things. Therefore, Concubine Yi made the final decision on the boundaries of the West Sixth Palace.
Three years ago, Er Fujin was officially named Crown Princess, and the fourth concubine took over the palace affairs.
The four of them have held high positions of power for many years, and now that they are free, it is inevitable that there will be inconveniences. Even if they do not complain about the Crown Princess, few of them really like her.
*
Since Shu Shu has dealt with Nanny Zhao, she is not afraid of others talking about her.
As for whether it would embarrass the Crown Princess who was in charge of palace affairs, Shu Shu didn't worry about it.
If Aunt Liu, who is having an attack today, has served Ninth Brother closely for many years, and has dignity and affection in front of her master, I am afraid that the Crown Princess will be in the way when dealing with it and think too much; what is the use of a nun on the stove?
Scrupulous?
Now that the second house is running normally, Shu Shu has already touched the kitchen and has no plans to touch other places.
Shushu was sitting in the study with the French Letters, and Xiaotang came back from the front yard, a little excited: "Fu Jin, after this experience, they all obeyed... They just faced the slave,
He said, "Miss Tang," and begged the slave to come over and get the order for dinner..."
Shu Shu was not surprised. Human nature is like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
"It's hot, so don't serve stew for the next two days... I'll cross the water tonight and make up a few more dishes using seasonal vegetables..."
After Shu Shu said what she wanted to eat, she hesitated for a moment.
I can eat it by myself after crossing the water, but Brother Jiu is afraid that he can't.
Looking at his eating habits, he has a bad appetite and may not be able to stand the cold.
"Brother, the regular dishes are stew, stir-fried shredded chicken, stir-fried shredded pork, steamed some hot pancakes and rolled them up to eat... Forget about the meat soup, just stew a bowl of mung bean soup...
"
Shu Shu thought about it and gave instructions.
Xiaotang listened carefully.
Shu Shu remembered that it was not easy to follow the few people who followed her, so she gave one more instruction: "You look at the kitchen in front, so you know how much I am worth... I can't control other people, so don't take advantage of me. I'll add more to every meal."
One meat dish...the two nuns, add one meat dish and one vegetable dish to each meal..."
Aunt Zhou and Aunt Qi both follow the nanny's rules, which is one pound of pork, seven and five spoons of old rice, twelve taels of fresh vegetables at any time, and three qian of black salt every day.
In this way, every meal is guaranteed to include meat and vegetables.
This ration is the same as for palace ladies.
That is to say, whether it is Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege in the backyard, the four palace ladies with two identities, or the four new palace ladies here in Shu Shu, the daily supply for these people is the same.
This is just an example. In fact, everyone eats a big pot of food in the dining room.
Like Xiaochun and others, because they are "family girls", those who accompany them to the palace from outside, even if they have palace registration, are temporary households, and are reduced compared to the supply of palace girls.
The daily supply is only five spoons of old rice, ten taels of fresh vegetables, and three qian of black salt. If there is no supplement from the master, there will only be one plate of vegetables for each meal.
Xiaotang responded gratefully.
Shu Shu frowned. Regardless of whether the Zhaojia family and the Wang family were just decorations or not, they could not be ignored when they were in the elder brother's place, nor could they be allowed to really provide for them like the palace maids, otherwise they would be talked about.
Before she was gone, Ninth Prince, a man, would not think about these things. If there were any mistakes, no one would dare to find fault with Ninth Prince.
Now that she got married, the arrangements were not thorough, but it was her fault, and she could not be accused of being "jealous and intolerant".
"I'll go to Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege later to send a message and tell them what I said... You can add two plates of meat and vegetables to each meal and make up for it from my portion... If they want to order food, they can order it themselves. If they don't order food, they can."
Follow this example to deliver food..."
Shu Shu thought about it for a while and decided to hold her nose and be a considerate person.
Xiaotang showed displeasure on his face, but he also knew that there was no room for her to question, so he responded dully.
Seeing this, Shu Shu had to remind: "What did I say before entering the palace? Don't show it on your face from now on... As long as you are treating outsiders, be respectful and polite as you should be, and don't make any mistakes yourself...
…”
Xiaotang looked ashamed and whispered: "I understand..."
It was only from Shu Shu's point of view that she didn't like those two people. Shu Shu understood in her heart and knew that she couldn't condone them, but she didn't hesitate anymore and waved her hand to let her go.
Xiao Chun came in and brought two pairs of shoes. Although they were still in the style of flag shoes, the heels were only about an inch, and they had boat-shaped soles, making them stable for walking.
Seeing that her eyes were red, Shu Shu disapproved and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Chun yawned: "Ge Ge's feet are all blistered..."
"You are not allowed to stay up late in the future! Auntie Sewing and Threading, apart from my and brother's underwear, all other clothes, shoes and socks will be handed over to me..."
Shu Shu said with a bit of seriousness: "This is the palace after all, not home... If you want to stay with me, you must take good care of your body... If you suffer a lot or get sick, it is easy to move out. If you want to
I'm afraid it will be difficult to come in again... And with this title, anyone who has someone or not will be scolded..."
This is a palace city, how can we enter and exit at will?
Especially the semi-permanent population like them.
Long before Shu Shu got married, the Ministry of Internal Affairs went over and collected the dowry population list.
If the companion did not follow him into the palace and was not listed on the palace register, they had nothing to do with it. The remaining six people were brought into the palace. The Ministry of Internal Affairs had carefully checked their household registration, resume, and kinship to make sure there were no mistakes before allowing them to enter.
palace.
Shu Shu's name is Prince Fujin. Although he is considered to be a master, he must abide by the rules and regulations here when he is in the palace.
Seeing that Shu Shu was serious, Xiao Chun also showed solemnity on his face: "Fu Jin, don't worry, I'm sorry, I will do well in the future..."
Shu Shu then took the shoes and took a pair to put on. As expected, they were much more comfortable than the flag shoes she had prepared before.
"Go and have a rest and have a good sleep...I still have Xiaosong here..."
Shu Shu said gently.
Xiaochun didn't say anything and went back to his room to rest.
Xiao Song was standing by, counting on his fingers: "Fu Jin, we haven't been to the school grounds for three days... This yard is not spacious, so it's not easy to set up a target, right?"
Xiaosong is a servant of the Dong E family, and her father is the head guard of the house. In addition to being able to massage, she also has boxing and kicking skills, and is good at bow and arrow.
Now that Shu Shu is getting married, all the dowry items must be registered. It is not easy to bring old things into the palace, but she also brought two new pairs of bows and arrows with her.
After all, it is most taboo to let go of such a skillful thing.
Shu Shu is also thinking about exercising, and this cannot be left out.
Compared with others, archery is not eye-catching. After all, she was born as a general and was a martial artist in the Eight Banners. It was not unusual for her to draw a bow and shoot arrows every day.
Shu Shu mentally estimated the distance to the yard and couldn't set a far target.
"Have someone get a hanging target... take it out and hang it on the back wall of the front room when you shoot arrows..."
The distance couldn't be increased, Shu Shu wanted to exercise, so she could only increase the weight: "First add one kilogram to each lead bag..."
Xiaosong thought for a moment and understood Shu Shu's intention, nodded and said: "Well, let's go and prepare..."
Today is the third day after entering the palace. Shu Shu is trying to adapt, and naturally the girls are also trying to adapt.
"By the way, Fujin, Zhenzi's ancestors sold medicine for wounds, and there are also people doing odd jobs at the Imperial Hospital... If Fujin doesn't have other arrangements, let her follow the slaves..."
Shu Shu had no objections, so he inevitably told her: "Don't think she's too young. If there's anything worth learning from her, you should also learn from her... and Xiaotang, let me know... I won't say anything else.
Just talking about medicated diet, if she wants to keep improving, she can’t just wait for the recipe to be ready... Knowing the compatibility of medicinal materials, thinking about it for yourself, and prescribing the right medicine for the disease is the right way to medicated diet..."
After hearing this, Xiaosong prepared a tea tray for Shushu and placed it on the desk before going down to talk to Xiaotang.
Shu Shu took a long breath and couldn't help but count the days in her mind.
The prince's wedding still has one last ceremony to attend.
That is "Nine Days to Return to Ning". On the ninth day after the wedding, the young couple can return to their parents' home!
Thinking of this, Shu Shu felt excited in her heart.
Today is June 28th, the third day of the wedding, and the ninth day is the fourth day of July.
The two of them can go back early and stay at home for half a day, but unfortunately they cannot go past noon.
Even so, Shu Shu was full of expectations as she had to return before noon.
Three days after leaving my parents' home seemed like a long time.
Shu Shu was not being pretentious, saying that she was homesick or something, she just wanted to tell Ama Ene the news about the palace as soon as possible, so as to save them from continuing to worry about it.
During the half-month stay in the palace for the previous draft, I lost seven or eight pounds, but it made them feel bad.
At that time, I also described the meals in the palace poorly. I was still a picky eater myself, so they were inevitably more worried about my maladaptation.
I don’t know whether the "Guining Ceremony" was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs or whether my brother prepared it himself.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is well prepared, there will be precedents, so there is no need to worry.
If my brother had prepared it himself, Shu Shu would be a little numb.
You can't choose something from her dowry to give to your mother's family. That would be a joke. The only option left is to choose something from the prince's inner treasury.
But yesterday I took a walk around the front and back yards and didn't see the location of the inner warehouse.
How is it possible to say that there is no prince's warehouse?
There are dozens of boxes of small clothes and small items that Shu Shu used when she was a child, not to mention the prince's brother.
box?
Shu Shu thought of the boxes and top cabinets in the study room in the front yard...
There seemed to be quite a few, half the wall was covered with boxes and cabinets.
But even though it was filled with Brother Jiu's old things, it still felt wrong. There shouldn't be so few.
Shu Shu was puzzled, but didn't think much about it. After all, she could just ask Brother Jiu directly when he came back.
Whether it was because he didn't take it out and kept it with Concubine Yi when he moved to the palace, or for other reasons, Brother Jiu knew it.
