My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 592 Feeling Guilty

Shu Shu took a careful look at Shi Fujin.

Although Shifu Jin was a little thinner than when he was in the "initial ceremony", he was still extraordinarily plump compared to ordinary women.

She was wearing a flag-style gown, her chest was bulging, and she had no waist below her head, making her look big and round.

Although the palace is a place where beauties compete for beauty, it is the inner court.

Prince Fujin like them doesn't need to get involved.

Ten Fujin wants to show a better side, either to please others or to please himself.

Shu Shu thought about the improvement of the cheongsam hundreds of years later, and her eyes fell on Shi Fujin's waist, and said: "If my brother and sister just want to pinch the waist, you don't need to wear a belt, it's better to put it under the armpit directly at the waist..."

After hearing this, Shi Fujin stood up, lowered his head and said, "Can that make you look thinner?"

Shu Shu also stood up, made gestures on her body, and said, "This thread is retracted, the waist is put higher, it looks thinner, and the legs look longer..."

Ten Fujin smiled and said, "Then I'll ask someone to change..."

Shu Shu hurriedly reminded: "After all, it's in the palace. It's popular to conform to the crowd. It's not too fashionable. You changed your homely clothes in the three schools, and you should change into ordinary clothes when you go out."

Otherwise, when the time comes, the front will be convex and the back will be warped, with a big curve, I guess the elders will think it is frivolous and disliked.

Shi Fujin listened to persuasion very much, nodded quickly and said, "I won't wear it out, I only show it to Lord Shi, we have a little secret, Lord Ten loves to look at me, haha..."

Shu Shu pretended not to hear.

Although they have been married for a year, she is still a child.

As shy as Wu Fujin, he was holding the "Huangdi Neijing" and talking, and he was still able to hold back.

Ten Fujin was too innocent and straightforward.

She should stop recruiting, or she is afraid that Shi Fujin will not shy away from it, and even talk about the bed.

But Shi Fujin still wanted to find someone to share with, so he said happily: "It was not good in the garden a few days ago, Lord Shi had to come out of the garden very early, and he couldn't rest for two hours; it's all right now, and it won't be until five o'clock." Don't be afraid, I can come back to catch up on sleep at noon, hee hee..."

Originally, Shi Fujin and Ten Elder Brother also went to Haidian Garden to escape the summer heat.

But Elder Brother Shi is different from other little princes, he has an errand and goes to the clan mansion every day.

In addition, it is not the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there is no reason to take a car. Brother Shi can only ride a horse back and forth, and has become a "commuter" in the Qing Dynasty.

Ten Fujin felt sorry for Ten Elder Brother's running around, so he refused to live in the garden.

So the couple moved back to Elder Brother's place after a few days away.

Shu Shu listened with a smile on the side, but didn't answer the conversation, feeling a little wretched in her heart.

Can't sleep for less than two hours?
That's too much trouble?
I don't know how to make a fuss...

Ten Fujin's chubby figure, if it were him, he would love it...

*
The days of summer are long, and the time of Shushu seems to be more abundant.

Ten Fujin would come here occasionally in the afternoon, but not every day, about once every three or four days.

He didn't stay for a long time, and the food and drinks would not exceed half an hour, so he was a relatively good guest.

On the side of Yikun Palace, Shu Shu would not come to the door in person.

Keep the frequency of three or four days, send Xiaochun or Walnut to deliver some food, or say hello for yourself.

With the long time of confinement, Concubine Yi definitely doesn't like to see people.

Although it is no longer a taboo to wash your hair and take a shower during confinement in later generations, this tradition is still strictly respected now.

Shu Shu knew that there was corn in the imperial dining room, so she asked Zhou Song to get some.

Referring to the dry shampoo method of corn flour in later generations, she 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, his hair is oilier than others.

Shu Shu did an experiment on her head and found that it was okay.

However, because cornstarch likes to stick to hair, it is better to sieve it several times in a fine basket.

Shu Shu then made some rough cloth brushes.

This is also the way to remove oil from the hair.

It is much less effective than dry cleaning to remove oil.

When Brother Nine came back at noon, he found these things lying around like a stall in Dongci.

"It's a surface, and a brush? Is this going to paint the wall?"

He leaned over to take a look, and said.

Shu Shu talked about these two effects.

Brother Jiu heard this, 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 dried corn powder is better, but it can't be completely cleaned after washing, I'm afraid the empress will hate it..."

Brother Jiu picked up the corn flour and said, "Why does it smell delicious?"

Still the familiar smell, his citrus essential oil.

Shu Shudao: "Your Majesty usually uses fruit scented dew, which is lightly scented. I guess I don't like strong scents, so I used Grandpa's citrus essential oil. How does it taste?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Sweet but not greasy, just right for use."

Shu Shu said: "That's good, I hope the empress can get used to it..."

Otherwise, Concubine Yi might feel uncomfortable with her body being dirty in this hot summer.

It's about to fall into ambush, and it will be stuffy and hot, which will make people even more dry.

Xiaochun stared at the thing and made it. She was the one who did it on Xiaosong's head just now, so Shu Shu told Xiaochun, "Send it to your mother, and Fang Zi also took it with you, and get a new bottle of citrus essential oil..."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Just send things, wait for Fangzi, wait for essential oils..."

Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu, a little puzzled.

Every time she gave snacks before, she also attached a prescription.

Yikun Palace has its own dining room, and the craftsmanship of the lady on the stove is not inferior to that of the two schools.

That's why she got into the habit of giving the prescription together.

In this way, whichever Concubine Yi likes, she can directly order the people in the dining room in the palace to do it, which is more convenient.

This is not only the case with Yikun Palace, but also the filial piety that Shu Shu sent to Ningshou Palace.

Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "Prodigal, is this the same as eating food? This is something that no one else has. Rare goods can be used to live in, and can make money! I gave it out for nothing, and there are too many people over there. If it spreads, we will lose money." Not bad?"

Shu Shu caresses the forehead.

I am really confused.

Xiaoyu's rouge shop has already opened. It's just opposite the Shun'an Silver Building on Gulou Street. It's the two shops separated by Qianjinfang, which specializes in the business of female relatives.

This dry cleaning powder can indeed be supplied over there.

Although the cost of adding essential oils is not low, the price can also be higher.

Shu Shu told Xiao Chun: "Listen to me, if your mother or Aunt Peilan ask you, tell me the truth."

Xiao Chun went in response.

Brother Nine proudly said: "According to last year's time, it will take three months for Khan Ama to visit the north, when the time comes, I will take you to visit the shop..."

Among other things, the restaurant he mentioned last year had already been opened in February.

"Don't you like reading books the most? One of the properties that I allocated in the first month of the first month happened to be in the outer city. The location is not good. I plan to open a bookstore. When the time comes to sell books, I will also collect books..."

Brother Jiu said.

Bookstore?

Inexplicably, Shu Shu's mind thought of "five-year simulation, three-year college entrance examination" in large gold-rimmed characters.

This year is the year of the provincial examination, and next year will be Chunwei!
It is now the first ten days of June, and Zhili students will arrive in Beijing one after another to prepare for the exam.

When the provincial examinations are over, the candidates will come to the capital to prepare for the next spring.

In the next six months, a large number of scholars will flood into the capital.

Shu Shu was a little excited, and said, "Master, where can I check the files of Shuntianfu Township Examination over the years?"

Brother Nine said: "Why do you think of asking this? Are Fu Yong and Fu Ming taking the provincial examination this year? Isn't it too early?"

Fuyong and Fuming are the juniors and fourths of Dutong Mansion, Shu Shu's twin brothers.

Children of the Eight Banners, if they want to take the imperial examination, they can go directly to the prison, and they can directly start from the provincial examination.

Shu Shu said with a smile: "Master, they didn't take the test this time. I was thinking about it. We can sell test preparation materials, past test questions and so on."

Brother Jiu thought for a while, and said: "There is one in the government school, this is not difficult to get it out, but it is not uncommon for others to get it out, there should be similar collection notes in the bookstore outside now, or Juzi Wenxuan and the like."

Shu Shu originally wanted to mention the mock test paper, but swallowed the words again.

The imperial examination is too sensitive.

Their identities are too close to the imperial court, if they imitate the quizzes, it will not be a good thing, but it will cause disputes.

But this is the bonus of the exam, and it is still a group of people with a relatively wealthy economy. It would be a pity if they just gave up.

She thought of the self-study room of later generations, and also thought of the suffering of the current rural examination.

There is a small test shed three feet wide, four feet deep, and six feet high.

Then one lap is three days and two nights.

Few of those who can study nowadays are from the real poor family, and most of them are from the country gentry.

Shu Shu said, "Is the shop the master mentioned big?"

Brother Jiu nodded and said: "It's not small. There are five doors, two floors above and below. It's just that the location is a little bit off, but there should be no problem opening the bookstore."

At that time, we will be facing Daxing Academy, relying on word of mouth.

"Then besides the shop at the front, what about the back?"

Shushu said.

Brother Jiu said: "It's a quadrangle courtyard. The inner courtyard is huge. There are houses in a circle. It can be used as a storeroom, a staff room, etc. It's enough for us."

Shu Shu talked about the study room and the "mock test shed".

"You can build a dozen or so test booths in the yard, and then make two of the various number rooms encountered in the exam, such as "stinky numbers" or something, so that the students have tried it, and it may be beneficial. Then prepare some matching items for sale, such as essential oils to repel insects and repel odors, peppermint oil to boost spirits, and Yi noodles, which are more suitable for candidates to eat..."

There are three township examinations, nine days and six nights.

Every time for three days and two nights, I was unable to come out in the test room, and I was in the number room for eating, drinking and lassing.

Brother Jiu was shocked when he heard it.

This is Scorpion Papa - the only one!
He hurriedly said: "Old Ten also has a separate shop next to ours, and it's vacant. Master Huihui replaced him. When the time comes, the two places will be connected. That's it..."

Not only must he be unique, but he must also be unique.

Even if others want to follow suit, they still have to catch up...

*
In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi knew the effect of "dry hair fragrance powder", and she couldn't wait to try it out.

Xiaochun had already done it when she followed the experiment just now, so she did it and helped Concubine Yi dry-clean her hair.

After dry-cleaning, I used the finest grate to pass through it several times, and the hair became much fluffier visible to the naked eye.

Concubine Yi held the mirror, almost weeping with joy.

She was so dirty and greasy before that she didn't dare to look in the mirror.

But there are still a few days before confinement, and she is almost at the end of her patience.

After Xiaochun left, Concubine Yi looked at it for a long while, then put down the mirror, and said to Pei Lan, "Where can I find such a caring daughter-in-law? Before, I just thought that no matter how I treat the two daughter-in-laws, I will treat them equally." , so as not to have jiji and affect the relationship, but look, if you really want to treat everyone equally now, then I feel guilty..."

After hearing this, Pei Lan didn't know how to persuade her...
