Chapter 591: I feel guilty for guaranteeing the minimum monthly ticket)
Shu Shu took a careful look at Shi Fujin.
Although Shi Fujin is a bit thinner than when she was first engaged, she is still extra plump compared to ordinary women.
She was wearing a flag-dress coat, with a bulging chest and no waist underneath, making her appear broad-shouldered and round-waisted.
Although the palace is a place where beauties compete for beauty and beauty, it is the inner court.
Princes like them, Fujin, don't need to get involved.
Shi Fujin wants to show a better side, either to please others or to please himself.
Shu Shu thought about the improvement of cheongsam hundreds of years later, her eyes fell on Shi Fujin's waist, and said: "If my brothers and sisters just want to pinch the waist, there is no need to wear a belt, just go to the waist and tighten it directly from the armpits..."
After hearing this, Shi Fujin stood up, lowered his head and said, "Can that make me look slimmer?"
Shu Shu also stood up, made some gestures on her body, and said: "This tie is tightened, and the waist is placed higher, making it appear thinner, and the legs appear longer..."
Shifujin smiled happily and said, "Then I'll ask someone to change it..."
Shu Shu hurriedly reminded: "After all, in the palace, it is fashionable to follow the crowd, and it is not too fashionable. You have changed to the ordinary clothes you wear in the three houses, but you should change into ordinary clothes when you go out."
Otherwise, when the time comes, it will become bulging forward and backward, a big curve, and I guess the elders will feel frivolous and unhappy when they look at it.
Shi Fujin listened to the advice and nodded hurriedly: "I won't wear it out, I will only show it to Master Shi. We have a little secret. Master Ten likes to see me, haha..."
Shu Shu just pretended not to hear.
Although they have been married for a year, she is still a child.
He was as shy as Wu Fujin, but he could hold his own while talking with the "Huangdi Neijing" and rambling here and there.

Shi Fujin is too innocent and too straightforward.
She shouldn't do it, otherwise she would be afraid that Shi Fujin would not shy away from it and even talk about the bed.
But Shi Fujin still wanted to find someone to share with him, and said happily: "It wasn't good to be in the garden the past few days. Master Shi had to come out of the garden very early and couldn't rest for two hours in total. It's fine now, even at the fifth watch.
Don’t be afraid, I can come back to catch up on my sleep at noon, hehe..."
Originally, Shi Fujin and Shi Age also went to Haidian Garden to escape the summer heat.
But the tenth prince is different from other young princes. He has errands and has to go to the clan mansion every day.
In addition, it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter, so there is no reason to take a car. The tenth prince can only ride back and forth, becoming a "commuter" in the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Fujin felt sorry for his brother Shi who was running around so much that he refused to live in the garden.
So the couple stayed there for a few days and then moved back to my brother's house.
Shu Shu smiled and listened, not answering, feeling a little wretched in her heart.
Only sleep for less than two hours?
Is that too much trouble?
I don’t know what’s going on...
Shi Fujin’s chubby figure, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to put it down...

Summer is getting longer and there seems to be more time to relax.
Shi Fujin occasionally comes here in the afternoon, but not every day, almost once every three or four days.
He didn't stay long, and he didn't stay for more than half an hour eating and drinking. He was a relatively good guest.
At Yikun Palace, Shu Shu stopped visiting in person.
Maintain a frequency of three or four days, and send small chun or walnuts over to deliver some food, or to say hello on your behalf.
As the confinement period grows longer, Concubine Yi will definitely not like to see people.
Although it is no longer taboo to wash your hair and take a bath during the confinement period in later generations, this tradition is still strictly respected.
Shu Shu knew that there was corn in the imperial kitchen, so he asked Zhou Song to get some.
She followed the corn flour dry shampoo method of later generations and had someone grind corn into powder, add a few drops of essential oil to it, and make a dry shampoo.
Xiao Song likes to sweat and eat meat, and his hair is oilier than others.
Shu Shu did a test on her head and found that it was OK.
However, because cornstarch likes to stick to hair, it is better to sift it several times in a fine basket.
Shu Shu got a few more coarse cloth brushes.
This is also a way to remove oil from your hair.
It's just not as effective as dry cleaning to remove oil.
When Brother Jiu came back at noon, he found these things set up like a stall in the Toji Room.
"A dough and a brush again? Are you going to paint the wall?"
He came over and took a look and said.
Shu Shu talked about these two effects.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu became interested and said, "Is it really useful?"
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I tried it in the morning. The hair brush is not good. This dry corn powder is better, but it can't be completely cleaned after washing. I'm afraid the empress will dislike it..."
Brother Jiu picked up the corn flour and said, "Why does this smell so good?"
Still a familiar smell, his citrus essential oil.
Shu Shu said: "My wife usually uses fruity perfume, which is light-scented. She probably doesn't like strong fragrance, so I used your citrus essential oil. How does it taste?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "It's sweet but not greasy. It's just right for use."
Shu Shu said: "That's good, I hope I can get used to it..."
Otherwise, it's such a hot summer and she's dirty all over her body, I'm afraid Concubine Yi herself would feel uncomfortable.
It's going to be a sleepless night soon, and it will be stuffy, hot, and even more irritating.
It was Xiao Chun who watched and made the things, and it was she who did the work on Xiao Song's head just now. Shu Shu ordered Xiao Chun: "Send it to the empress, Fang Zi will also take it with you, and get a new bottle of citrus essential oil..."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Just give me the things, the prescriptions and so on, the essential oils and so on..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, a little puzzled.
In the past, every time she gave snacks, she would also give them a prescription.
Yikun Palace has its own internal dining room, and the craftsmanship of the woman on the kitchen stove is not inferior to that of the other two palaces.
That's why she developed the habit of sending the prescriptions along with them.
In this way, whatever Concubine Yi likes, she can just ask the people in the kitchen in her palace to do it, which is more convenient.
This is not only true for Yikun Palace, but also for the filial piety that Shu Shu sent to Ningshou Palace.
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Prodigal, is this the same as eating? This is something that no one else has. It is a rare commodity and can be used to make money! If you give it away for nothing, the people over there are too arrogant. If word spreads, we will lose money."
Not a loss?"
Soothe your forehead.
I am really confused.
Xiaoyu's rouge shop has opened. It is opposite the Shun'an Silver Building on Gulou Street. It is the two shops separated by Qianjinfang. It specializes in women's roll business.
This dry cleaning powder can indeed be supplied there.
Although the cost of adding essential oils is not low, the price can also be higher.
Shu Shu then told Xiao Chun: "Listen to me, if my wife or Aunt Peilan asks, you must tell the truth."
Xiaochun responded.
Brother Jiu said proudly: "Based on last year's schedule, it will take three months for Khan Ama to come down from his northern tour. Then I will take you to inspect the shops..."
Not to mention anything else, he had already opened the restaurant he mentioned last year in February.
"Don't you love reading books the most? The property I allocated in the first month of the year happened to be located in an outer city. The location is not very good. I plan to open a bookstore. When the time comes, I will sell books and follow the book collector..."
Brother Ninth said.
Bookshop?
In Shu Shu's mind, the words "Five years of simulation, three years of college entrance examination" came to mind inexplicably.
This year is the year of the Provincial Examination, and next year is the Spring Festival!
It is now early June, and Zhili student union members are arriving in Beijing one after another to prepare for the exam.
When the provincial examinations in each province are over, the candidates will rush to the capital to prepare for next spring.
In the next half year or so, a large number of scholars will flock to the capital.
Shu Shu was a little excited and said: "Sir, where can I check the files of the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination over the years?"
Brother Jiu said: "Why do you think of asking this? It's Fuyong. Fuming will take part in the provincial examination this year? Isn't it too early?"
Fuyong and Fuming are the twin brothers of Dutong Mansion's mistress and mistress, Shu Shu.
Children of the Eight Banners who want to take the imperial examination can go directly to the prison and start from the provincial examination.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Sir, they didn't take the exam this time because I was thinking that we could sell exam preparation materials, past exam questions and so on."
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "It is already available in the government school. It is not difficult to get it, but others can also get it. It is not unusual. There should be similar collections and annotations in bookshops outside now, or
Anthology of Juzi’s works and the like.”
Shu Shu originally wanted to raise the mock test paper, but swallowed her words.
The imperial examination is too sensitive.
Their identities are too close to the emperor. If they simulate the correct test, it will not be a good thing, but will cause trouble.
But this is an exam bonus, and it is a relatively wealthy group of people. It would be a pity to just give up.
She thought of the study rooms in later generations, and also thought of the suffering she suffered in the rural examination.
There is a small examination booth three feet wide, four feet deep and six feet high.
Then one circle lasts three days and two nights.
Nowadays, few of those who can study are truly from poor families, and most of them are from country squires.
Shu Shu asked: "Is the shop I mentioned big?"
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's not small. It has five rooms and two floors. It's just that the location is a bit off, but it shouldn't be a problem to open a bookstore."
At that time, we were facing Daxing Academy, and we relied on word of mouth.
"In addition to the shop in the front, what about the back?"
Shu Shu said.
Brother Jiu said: "It's a quadrangle, with a big yard inside. A circle of rooms can be used as a warehouse, clerk's room, etc., which are all sufficient."
Shu Shu talked about the study room and the "mock examination room".
"You can build a dozen test booths in the yard, and then make two of the various dormitories encountered in the exam, such as 'stinky dormitories' and so on. In this way, the students have tried it, and it may be beneficial.
Then prepare some supporting items for sale, such as essential oils to repel insects and odors, peppermint oil to boost energy, and noodles, which are also more suitable for candidates..."
There are three rural examinations, lasting nine days and six nights.
Every time for three days and two nights, I stayed in the examination room and had to eat, drink and have sex in the dormitory.
Brother Jiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
This is scorpion cake - the only one!
He hurriedly said: "Old Shi also has a shop next to ours, and it's vacant. I'll replace it with him later. When the time comes, the two places will be connected, so here we go..."
Not only does he want to be unique, he also wants to be the best.
Even if others want to follow suit, they still have to fall behind...

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi knew the function of "dry hair powder" and couldn't wait to try it.
When Xiao Chun just followed the experiment, she had already done it, so she took the initiative and served Yi Fei to dry-clean her hair.
After the dry cleaning was completed, I used the finest comb to go through it several times, and my hair became much fluffier to the naked eye.
Concubine Yi held the mirror and almost cried with joy.
Before, she had oily hair and was so dirty that she didn't dare to look in the mirror.
But there were still many days before confinement, and she was almost at the end of her patience.
After Xiao Chun left, Concubine Yi looked at it for a long time, then put down the mirror and said to Peilan: "Where can I find such a caring daughter-in-law? Before, I only thought that no matter how I treat the two daughters-in-law, I will be impartial.
, so as not to cause Jiji and affect the relationship, but look, if we really have to treat everyone equally now, then I feel bad..."
After hearing this, Peilan didn't know how to persuade...
