Shu Jin saw that Song Gege had a sad look on his face again, and he understood that he was thinking about the two little Geges who died early, so he hurriedly smiled and diverted the topic: "By the way, now that Li Gege's fetal image is becoming more and more stable, let's go and see her." ”

Li Gege is almost five months pregnant, but it can be regarded as saving the fetus, which can be regarded as gratifying.

Song Gege smiled: "She has always loved to visit the door, but now she can endure it, and she hasn't come out to show her face for several months." ”

As he spoke, Song Gege said suddenly: "It just so happens that I made a little swaddling baby a few days ago and was about to send it to her." As he spoke, he called a maid named Yanlan to fetch it.

Shu Jinzi couldn't go empty-handed, so he asked the eunuch Zhang Shoufa to bring the rather delicate Su embroidered small screen on the table, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift.

In fact, other concubines have the joy of pregnancy, and they don't have to give gifts, even if they do, they don't have to give too valuable things. Other Gege usually send some needlework, but Shu Jin's female celebrity really can't handle it.

The backyard of the palace is only seven or eight courtyards, including Danhua Hall and Durian Courtyard, but more of them are exquisite small courtyards, and even some courtyards have more than one Gege.

For example, Li Gege lives in a small and narrow courtyard at the end, and he also lives with the old Gege Zhang.

Zhang Gege's temperament is wooden, and his complexion is also ordinary, but his temperament is very soft, and he politely welcomes Li Gege, who is inconvenient to come out to blow the cold wind.

Because she was pregnant, Li Gege's house was full of charcoal, and Zhang Gege saw that he also stayed in Li Gege's house all day to rub the heat, and helped with needlework by the way—there was also a pair of half-finished baby shoes on the table.

Li Gege, who has not been seen for a long time, has finally grown some meat now, but he is still not fat, and his lower abdomen has obviously raised a gentle arc, and Li Gege also has a gentle smile on his face, "It's so cold in the wax moon, two sisters, drink hot tea to warm up." ”

A clever little maid served two hot black teas, Shu Jin and Song Gege drank them with a smile, and then gave their respective gifts.

Song's Baifu swaddling clothes are made of bright red tribute satin material, and all kinds of blessing characters are embroidered with goose yellow silk thread, although there are obviously not as many as a hundred, but it is about Baifu.

"Sister Song's embroidery is really more and more outstanding." Li Gege couldn't put it down, stroking the word blessing on the little swaddling clothes.

Song smiled slightly: "I am short of money, and I can't take out the things on the side, but Sister Geng, I have brought you a rare baby." ”

Shu Jin was a little embarrassed, "Where is it a baby." But he had to ask Zhang Shoufa to lift the small screen up.

It was a glass screen made of rosewood—glass was difficult to fire these days, so it was a valuable item. In fact, this table screen, that is, an ornament, really has no practical use, so Shu Jin looked at it for a long time and was disgusting, so he took it as a congratulatory gift.

The multicolored glass, in the sunlight, is still very good-looking.

Li Gege's eyes were a little confused, and he couldn't help but hurriedly said: "This is too precious!" ”

Song Gege said with a smile: "The preciousness is secondary, the important thing is that this glass screen was rewarded by the prince when Sister Geng was pregnant with Brother Tianshen." This rosewood shelf is also engraved with the words "Fushou Shuangquan", and the meaning is also excellent. ”

Li Gege couldn't help but be a little surprised, and hurriedly said: "How can I accept such a precious?" ”

Shu Jin hurriedly smiled: "Actually, several times, Tianshen almost knocked down this screen, I'm really afraid that one day I will be smashed by him, and the prince will definitely blame him when he turns around." It's better to give it to you, just as a blessing and longevity. ”

The screen is small, and the key is that the glass will be pierced after it is broken! Raising a child is really not suitable for such fragile items in the house!

Li Gege smiled, just thought that Geng Gege gave her the stairs, "Then I will be ashamed." ”

While laughing, a little eunuch hurriedly came in and reported, "Miss Danzhu from Danhua Hall is here." ”

It is said that this Chang Fujin has been very virtuous recently, and since Li Gege's fetus is stable, he still asks her to continue to recuperate. The degree of application is also much higher than that of ordinary Gegeti, especially the charcoal fire has doubled.

You must know that Gege's charcoal has always been insufficient, and if you want to avoid freezing, you have to take money to exchange it for charcoal. Isn't it true that an old Gege like Zhang Gege, who can only live by example, can only run to rub other people's heat.

Seeing that Danzhu had brought some fine furs, Shu Jin and Geng Gege glanced at each other, then got up and said goodbye.

On the way back, it snowed lightly, so I had to slow down to avoid slipping.

Fortunately, Shu Jin was wearing a new mink gown made this year, and he was still holding a flat gold hand stove filled with red charcoal in his hand, but he didn't feel cold.

It's just that Song Gege is so thin and weak, and he can't dress as warm as her, and the hand stove was handed over to the maid Yunxiu, Shu Jin knew that her hand stove was just ordinary black charcoal, and I was afraid that it would not be hot for a long time.

Shu Jin hurriedly stuffed his still hot hand into Song Gege's sleeve.

Song Gege felt the warmth in his sleeve and couldn't help but be stunned.

Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and said, "Let's go faster, where can I go to have a cup of milk tea." By the way, I asked someone to change some red charcoal in Song Gege's hand stove.

These charcoal are just ordinary black charcoal, but this kind of charcoal is very smoky, and it can usually only be used as stove charcoal, that is, to burn some tea or something. If you want to use it indoors, at least it must be white charcoal, which is as white as frost, so it is also called silver charcoal or silver bone charcoal, which is smokeless and difficult to extinguish - and the red basket charcoal in the inner court is actually a kind of silver charcoal, only because it is contained in the red basket, so it gets this name.

The amount of red charcoal is limited, and the black charcoal is too choking. What Shu Jin used was this ordinary white charcoal, which was sent into the palace by the Geng family before the winter, which was two hundred catties, and Shu Jin has now used most of it. A few days ago, I was inquiring about people and wanted to buy some more silver charcoal, so I realized that this silver charcoal costs one or two silver per catty!

You know, Gege's monthly share of silver is only two taels! Shu Jin mentioned five taels because he gave birth to Tianshen!

I also know that it is impossible for Song Gege to take a month's salary to buy those two catties of silver charcoal!

Alas, the cost of winter is big, although Shu Jin has his mother's family to make up for it, he can't help but sigh that the ancient heating fee is really expensive!

In Shu Jin's small hall, the charcoal fire burned red, and when he entered the room, he took off his mink coat and drank slightly hot milk tea with Song Gege, talking and laughing.

Song Gege saw that the maid was adding silver charcoal to the charcoal basin with her hands and feet, and she couldn't help but feel envious.

Fortunately, in the evening, the wind and snow stopped a little, and Shu Jin sent Song Gege out of the hall.

Song Gege was stuffed by the maid Yunxiu into his own hand stove, and suddenly felt warm and full of sleeves, and he was stunned for a while, only to feel warm in his heart.

After sending Song Gege away, Shu Jin couldn't help but ask Lan Ruo: "This black charcoal ...... Can it really be used indoors? ”

Lan Ruo whispered: "The black charcoal sent to the palace is actually of excellent quality. It's just that when it is first lit, it is inevitable that the fireworks will be smoking, and it is necessary to burn red outdoors now, so that it can be served indoors, and it can barely be used. It's just that it won't burn for long, so I have to go outside to add charcoal ......."

Shu Jin couldn't help sighing, it turned out that those unfavored Gege lived this kind of life.
