Chapter 2027 Envy (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)
When they arrived at the South Third House, the Fourth Lady was also moved when she saw the two princesses.
Especially when she saw the Fourth Princess who looked like the late First Lady, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"You're all grown-up girls now..."
The Fourth Lady sighed.
The late first wife gave birth to five children in nine years, four of whom were daughters born in the first five years.
On the contrary, there was a gap of four years between the fourth princess and her younger brother.
If the children in front were not so close together, they would not have been hurt.
The third princess nodded and said, "Now that my fourth sister and I are grown up, and Hongyu is also married, the eldest sister and the second sister can prepare for marriage with peace of mind."
The words of the adult made people tremble in their hearts.
The Fourth Lady said, "And your father, the prince really loves you children, but he is a father, not like an empress, who spends the whole day with his children. Just look at the prince consorts he has found for your elder and second sisters, and you will know that he really loves you."
The eldest princess of the Prince of Zhi's Mansion has an arranged marriage partner, and there are also some rumors about the second princess.
The eldest princess's arranged marriage partner is the Taiji of the Khorchin tribe in Beijing, and the second princess's arranged marriage partner is a family from the Eight Banners.
In this way, even if the two princesses were arranged to get married in two years, they would both marry in the capital, and there would be no need to separate their flesh and blood.
The Third Princess nodded and said, "We know, don't worry, Fourth Aunt."
The Fourth Lady did not comment on how the Stepmother was doing.
The four children know exactly what their stepmother and stepdaughter are like.
When getting along with her sisters-in-law on daily basis, Zhang did not try to suppress them just because of her status. She was neither humble nor overbearing and was a very easy-to-handle person.
Just looking at the fact that she has been married to Prince Zhi for three years without any trouble, you can tell that she is a smart woman and is polite to her stepdaughters.
The Fourth Lady gave an extra reminder out of consideration for the relationship she had with the late First Lady. She was afraid that the sisters would have difficulty getting close to their father when they grew up, and that there would be a gap between them because of the addition of a stepmother to the family.
The sisters' biggest supporter is the Prince of Zhi, not anyone else.
After leaving South Institute No. 3, the two sisters went to South Institute No. 4.
This is because the Fifth and Seventh Concubines are not in Haidian, otherwise they would have to go there first.
There was no need for the Eighth Lady to exchange pleasantries with the two princesses.
When she married into the palace, the first wife was already ill, and the two sisters-in-law had seen her in the Yanx Palace a few times, which could be counted.
Later, the first wife became seriously ill, so the previous group of princes moved out of the palace early.
When the Eighth Lady thought back to what happened back then, it felt like it happened in her previous life.
She asked someone to take the mulberries and said, "Someone just sent some loquats from Jiangnan. They are not commonly seen in the capital. You can take some back to try."
He asked someone to empty the fruit plate and bring back a plate full of loquats.
The third and fourth princesses had only seen this fruit in books.
The Third Princess said, "Things are more valuable away from home, and they are rare. You should keep them for yourself, Eighth Aunt!"
The Eighth Lady waved her hands and said, "It's not sweet at all. I just wanted to see it for fun. There's more over here. Don't mention it..."
The third princess could only thank him again and said goodbye to her sister.
The Fourth Princess didn't have much impression of this Eighth Aunt, but the Third Princess had some impression of her and remembered that she was a very arrogant woman. She didn't expect that she would act like this now.
His attitude is not very warm, but his actions are generous and thoughtful.
"It seems that seeing is believing..."
After getting on the carriage, the fourth princess whispered.
The third princess said thoughtfully: "It's not easy..."
Back then, she was the royal bride. She came from a prominent family, was raised in the royal palace, and was the blood of Taizu. But now, she has been married for many years but has no children. Her life is not as smooth as that of other princes' wives.
When the two sisters arrived at the North Fifth Institute, they met the representative of people who had a smooth life.
"Aunt Jiu, please be at your service..."
The two sisters were taken directly to the main courtyard, and they became more friendly when they saw Shushu.
Every year, the birthday gifts prepared by other elders are similar, such as longevity noodles, longevity peaches, and clothing materials.
When it comes to Fourth Aunt and Ninth Aunt, things are much more detailed and adjustments are made every year.
When you are over ten years old, you will have a makeup box and various facial creams and hand creams.
When they were twelve or thirteen years old, the two older sisters still had some personal belongings.
Such caring elders will not make you feel strange even if you only see them a few times throughout the year.
Shushu had a rare moment of peace and quiet here, so she coaxed Niguzhu to take the third princess to class.
If Niguzhu was not at home, it would be difficult to send the third princess to class. Without her sisters to keep her company, she would not dare to let the little girl go out alone.
With the Niguzhu, it won’t be a problem.
Niguzhu received the task early in the morning. He was in high spirits and went to the back holding the hand of the third princess.
Shushu promised her privately that if she took good care of her sister today, they would have fried meatballs, pure meat "Yiwohou", coriander meatballs and potato meatballs for lunch.
Seeing the two princesses coming, Shushu hurriedly invited them in.
"I thought you were busy this morning, so I planned to ask your Tenth and Thirteenth Aunts to visit you this afternoon..."
The third princess said, "Enie was afraid of disturbing the aunts, so she asked us to come over to deliver something. She also wanted to say that she would not come over today. She will see you tomorrow when she goes to pay respects to Mother Wuku."
In addition to white mulberries, three kites were also brought here.
The eldest prince has a follower in Shandong, and he asked someone to send these back as a present to the young masters.
As the weather was warm and Haidian was still open, it was a perfect place to fly kites, so the eldest princess picked up a few and asked the third and fourth princesses to bring them over.
The quantity is limited, and delivering it to every household is not enough.
Only the Fourth Lady and Shushu were given gifts.
There are two pictures of the Fourth Lady, an eagle and a butterfly.
The three kites here have patterns of bats, cranes and goldfish respectively.
Shushu pointed at the red goldfish and said, "This color is what your sister likes..."
The third princess smiled and said, "My eldest sister left it specially for me. She said that my younger sister Niguzhu loved red since she was a child."
Shushu pointed at Xianhe's and said, "Your second brother loves cleanliness. If white clothes weren't taboo, he would want to wear all white clothes. He must like this the most."
There is one bat kite left, which is painted in red and green, with two huge fairy peaches on each side. It looks auspicious and has good meaning.
"This painting looks delicate, it doesn't look like the work of an ordinary craftsman..."
Shushu praised.
The Third Princess said, "Aunt Jiu has a very good eye. This was painted by a great painter from Qingzhou. There were three paintings in total, and this is one of them."
Shushu was wearing a pink shirt that was neither new nor old, and she had no hairpin on her head. She had become so pink and tender in the past few months that she didn't look like an elder at all.
The third and fourth princesses also felt that she was kind.
The Third Princess praised sincerely, "I still remember the first time I saw Aunt Jiu. She looked like this then. It's been six years, and she hasn't changed at all."
In front of the Third Lady, she was just being polite, but in front of Shushu, she truly meant it.
After hearing this, Shushu smiled and said, "It just so happens that Aunt Jiu has a secret to eternal youth, and I will teach it to you this time..."
The third and fourth princesses were both serious.
The Third Princess expressed concern and asked, "Really? Aunt Nine... have you taken medicine?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Shushu was overjoyed after hearing this and said, "Good boy, don't believe in idle books. They are all fictions made up by fiction writers and can't be taken seriously..."
As she said that, she instructed Bai Guo, "Go and get my beauty secret book. I was planning to give it as a Dragon Boat Festival gift, so give it to me in advance!"
Baiguo responded and went down to get it.
The Third Princess then realized that she had guessed wrong and said, "It's fine as long as it's not edible. I'm just afraid that you, Aunt Jiu, are so obsessed with beauty that you might be fooled."
Shushu stopped laughing, looked at the Third Princess, and praised: "Princess, you are smart. When I was your age, I didn't have this kind of knowledge. I read some of the things in the books with such confidence that I thought they were all true."
The Third Princess shook her head and said, "It's not my niece's knowledge, it's my Second Sister who likes to read, and reads a lot of books. She usually tells us stories from the outside world to broaden our horizons."
Shushu said: "You sisters are both smart kids..."
The fourth princess said innocently, "If I don't take medicine, what is your secret recipe, Aunt Jiu? Is it the Taoist Qigong health regimen?"
Shu Shu said: "No, no, you will see it soon."
After half a cup of tea, Baiguo came back with a few umbrella boxes.
This is the West Lake silk umbrella, a parasol exported to Europe by Hangzhou Customs.
Because Western goods have become popular in recent years, these parasols, which were originally exported, have also become popular in Jiangnan.
The Ninth Prince brought back a lot of them during his southern tour this time.
Shushu is used to carrying an umbrella when traveling in the summer. In other seasons, if the sun is scorching, he tries not to be outdoors or to stay in a shaded place.
The Ninth Prince remembered this matter and would take care of it if he encountered it.
But there was no use keeping so many of them, so Shushu planned to give them to the women in each family as gifts during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Now that my two nieces have brought some fresh fruit, I can deliver it directly. The sun is getting brighter day by day.
Baiguo brought over five umbrella boxes, one of which was larger than the other.
"That box is for my eldest sister-in-law. You sisters can divide the remaining four boxes among yourselves..."
Shushu opened it and showed it to her sisters.
The umbrella surface is satin embroidery, basically full embroidery, which looks very delicate.
The largest umbrella box has an ivory handle, and the remaining four more delicate-looking umbrellas have green jade and white jade handles.
"Don't think that you only get tanned in the summer. Does that mean the sun in winter is not the sun? Or the sun in spring and autumn? On weekdays, if you can use an umbrella, use it. If you can't use an umbrella, find a shady place to go. This will make your skin white and tender, which is more effective than any amount of makeup..."
Shushu said to the two princesses.
He also showed them his sun hats and silk masks that can be worn in spring and autumn.
The Third Princess praised: "Aunt Jiu, you have prepared so much..."
The fourth princess wondered, "I heard from my elder sister and second sister earlier that you are notorious for not liking to go out, so do you still need to prepare these things?"
Shushu looked at the fourth princess and smiled, saying, "It's better to be prepared."
She just doesn't like going out for socializing, but it doesn't mean she never leaves the house.
When I was at home, I had to practice archery in the training ground every time. In the past two years, I also had to play with the children, and also experienced wind and sun.
After they exited the gate of the fifth building, the two sisters walked to the sixth building instead of taking a car.
The Fourth Princess whispered to the Third Princess, "I like the life that Aunt Jiu has. I hope that my elder sister and second sister can live a life like Aunt Jiu in the future..."
