Shu Shu did not rush to give orders, but looked at the three of them carefully.
Everyone looked clear and had not drunk too much, so she sent Li Yin: "Go to the kitchen to get some sobering soup, and then ask someone to cook noodles..."
Li Yin responded.
Several people returned to the house.
After a simple scrubbing, the hangover soup has been served.
The soup base is the sour radish and duck soup that has been simmered all afternoon. It has cucumber slices and egg drops. It smells sour and fragrant.
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother didn't need to be asked, so they each took a bowl and started drinking.
There are three bowls in total.
They are two big bowls.
The tenth brother said: "Sister-in-law Ninth, brother Ninth doesn't need this, he doesn't drink..."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu.
After traveling in Mongolia for more than a month, she had seen Mongolian people "not feasting without wine" and "not having fun without wine".
And because of his warm hospitality, he is also very keen on persuading people to drink.
Today's first ceremony banquet is held in the inner hall, which can also be regarded as the home venue of the Mongolian princes.
Wouldn't it mean that good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles?
Has news spread to the capital that the father and son of Prince Darhan were punished for toasting?
So the Mongolian prince Taiji regarded it as a taboo to toast the ninth prince?
Brother Ninth felt a little uncomfortable.
How could he know what the Mongols were doing?
He seemed to be treated very respectfully, but it was not his turn when it came time to toast.
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "My younger brother was afraid that they would toast him lightly, so he said hello to Tai Ji..."
Only then did the ninth elder brother understand the reason and glanced at the tenth elder brother angrily.
Really, your mouth is just for decoration?
He didn't know that telling him in advance would cause him embarrassment for a long time.
Brother Thirteen smiled and said: "Brother Ninth didn't drink, so the toasters went to Brother Four. I never stopped drinking. One cup after another, but I drank a lot..."
Brother Jiu also laughed "haha" and said: "The first time I saw him like this, I was so drunk that I didn't even know he was being sold... It's because of this that we didn't trust, so we borrowed my father-in-law's The carriage takes the person home and leaves it in the hands of the fourth sister-in-law before returning from Di'anmen..."
Shu Shu didn't smile after hearing this, and looked at Brother Ten with some worry.
Hey, I can't help but mess with my old sister-in-law's heart.
The groomsmen were all drunk like that, but what about the real master, the tenth prince?
Brother Ten drank the hangover soup one mouthful at a time and said, "Sister-in-law Ninth, don't worry, my brother is fine... After a round of toasts, he found a place to vomit and drank the hangover soup in the middle..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Let's take a nap later and go back early to rest. I've been running around all day today..."
The Thirteenth Brother also finished the sobering soup and asked curiously: "Sister-in-law Ninth, Mr. Qi said you asked him to ride in the car in winter. Why? According to the rules in Beijing, don't military attachés ride more horses?"
Shu Shu said: "I asked this specifically back then. In fact, the imperial court has no fixed regulations. You can ride a horse, ride a car or a sedan as you like. In the twenty-seventh year, a military general was ordered to go to the battlefield. He sat in a sedan and was killed. If the imperial censor is impeached and removed from office, then there will be fewer generals riding in cars and sedan chairs..."
As for why she asked Qi Xi...
It was the winter of the year before last. She was recovering from a serious illness and was a little afraid of life and death.
As luck would have it, there was a sergeant on their street who went out drinking on horseback.
There is no long-term follow-up.
When he came back, he fell off his horse and fell into a ditch.
When he still didn't come back in the middle of the night, his family went to look for him, but he was already frozen to death.
Shu Shu was afraid.
It was really cold in winter, so everyone had nothing to do but treat themselves to various kinds of food.
Not to mention the consequences, riding a horse is also unsafe.
Qi Xi is a doting girl. He will obey his daughter's orders obediently.
In the winter of the past two years, when the winter months entered, I changed to a horse-drawn carriage to travel.
Shu Shu explained the reason, and the Thirteenth Brother nodded and said: "That's how it should be. In the cold weather, who knows who will suffer... If the fourth brother came by car today, we wouldn't have to follow him to see him off..."
At this moment, the kitchen had already brought soup noodles.
It's not the Yi noodles that everyone has been eating for half a year, but silver noodles.
Boiled silver noodles, soaked in water, and topped with boiling sour radish and duck soup.
On the noodle bowls of the 10th and 13th elder brothers, there was a duck leg each.
In Brother Jiu's noodle bowl, half of the noodles were missing, and there were no duck legs, only two finger-sized pieces of duck breast.
The brothers even ate soup and noodles.
Shu Shu didn't dare to ask Ten Age Bu Yinge how he was.
After all, everyone has different aesthetics.
She likes such beauties with plump figures and cute tempers. Who knows if the tenth prince likes her.
It was Brother Ten who took the initiative to mention it, with the corners of his mouth raised and his eyes bright.
"It's just like what my sister-in-law said. She looks white and her eyes are different from ours..."
As he spoke, his face became a little hot again, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Looking at the cheerful and enthusiastic temperament of the county prince Fujin, from mother to daughter, Gege guessed that she is also lively. When she gets married, she will have to ask her sister-in-law to teach her more... …”
Seeing that he felt uncomfortable and his ears were red, Shu Shu finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "It's not about teaching or not, but I have more companions..."
As for the wedding date next year?
When there was no serious illness of Dafu Jin earlier, the date was scheduled for February, before the Mongolian princes who came to perform Hajj left the capital.
It’s hard to say now.
It depends on how long Dafujin delays it.
If there is a real surprise, it will be great if we survive the New Year, and the wedding date will still be February.
If they can't survive it, then as brothers and brothers-in-law, they will have to perform small meritorious service for their sister-in-law for five months.
During this period, marriage was definitely prohibited.
Brother Ten took out a purse from his sleeve.
It is made of golden tapestry material, and it looks rich and noble.
No need for needlework to add color, it looks good.
The straps on both sides of the purse are decorated with two small golden mice the size of peanuts.
They are round and do not look like mice, but more like two little piglets, exquisite and cute.
Brother Ten took the purse, coughed slightly, and said: "Gege is a rat..."
Shu Shu smiled.
Bu Yin Ge Ge's needlework is similar to Shu Shu's.
It seems that she is not good at female celebrities either.
As expected, she is lively and outgoing, not like someone who has the patience to sew.
The tenth prince felt a little uneasy.
"Sister-in-law Jiu, after accepting the purse, should I give something in return?"
He had prepared some skins before and also raised ponies in the village.
But those leathers are all made of raw materials, semi-finished products, and would be too rough to give as gifts.
The pony hasn't been trained yet, and now it's too late, so it's not a good time to race.
Shu Shu thought about Buyin's dress.
From now on, do as the Romans do.
Even the queen mother and concubines are not said to wear Mongolian robes in the palace.
Dressing and grooming are all in a neutral way, and they are also sparing and become alternative.
Shu Shu said: "The clothes that Ge Ge now wears are all brought from Mongolia. How about you prepare some jewelry. It doesn't need to be too expensive, just something for daily wear, such as hairpins, rings, bead chains, etc... It's winter now, so prepare some money." Just wait until the weather gets warmer for the wedding next year, and then prepare some jade bracelets, jade hairpins, etc., and that will be enough..."
Brother 10's mind flashed to Buyin Gege's snow-white face and soft little hands. If she were covered with jewelry given by him, it would really be a bit exciting.
He said: "I see that they like to use red, and I happen to have some coral materials over there that can be used to make jewelry..."
In fact, there are about ten boxes of jewelry in the three warehouses.
There are those left by Empress Xiaozhao and those worn daily by Concubine Wen Xi.
Brother Ten doesn't want to touch these.
It's not that he is stingy and reluctant to let go, but he feels a little sad.
The aunt and queen, whom she had never met before, seemed to have been a noble person for half her life, honoring the family, but in fact she only lived for more than 20 years.
She entered the palace as a concubine and had no sons or daughters. When the late queen died, she competed with the Tong family's daughter for the position of successor.
I was lucky enough to become the heir, but he collapsed within half a year.
My mother-in-law is not considered blessed.
He lost his mother when he was young, his father before he reached adulthood, and his sister when his father became a filial piety.
After entering the palace, although E Niang was in a high position, she experienced the pain of losing her daughter and passed away in her early thirties.
Brother Ten had never thought about this before. Being led by his brother and sister-in-law these past few months, he was also a little worried about life and death.
He felt that it would be better to keep those things in mind and pass them on to the next generation.
As for him and Buyin Gege, they are fine and live a long life together.
After thinking about this, the tenth brother said to Shu Shu: "Don't my sister-in-law have a silver shop? Later, when my brother made jewelry, he asked someone to send materials over..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
Brother Jiu glanced at him and said: "Are you stupid? The best masters are all in the inner building office. Then you take your private room and go to the inner building office to pick the two top masters from the roster. It’s not a taboo to reward someone with more money..."
The tenth elder brother smiled and said: "I'm going to the internal manufacturing office as well. My younger brother is thinking that the masters in the palace do the work carefully and the construction period is long. It's better to prepare something in advance to avoid delays..."
Brother Ninth: "..."
He looked at Brother Ten up and down and hummed: "Old Ten, are you obsessed? A big fat girl, is that good?"
The tenth prince said nothing and was not very happy to hear this.
Why are you so fat?
Obviously, as my sister-in-law said, he is just right, and he is a lucky person at first glance.
He really wanted to ask, in Brother Ninth's heart, Sister-in-law Ninth is not good?
Although Brother Thirteen drank a pot of water, he was also offered two cups of white wine.
At this moment, the stamina started to build up, and he started to stare in confusion.
When the tenth prince saw him, he immediately took him to the third house for resettlement.
The room fell silent.
Brother Jiu was a little impatient and took Shu Shu to wait for a while.
"Tell me, my father-in-law and I are sitting together today..."
Shu Shu saw Brother Jiu's flattery and didn't criticize it. He asked along the way: "That's really good. What did you say?"
The two of them asked and answered questions.
Just saying that I went off topic...
*
There was the sound of banging in the distance, and it was already midnight.
Sibeile Mansion, go to the upper room.
Brother Si had a terrible stomachache. He pressed it with his hands and woke up in a daze.
His throat was dry, and he looked up to see Si Fujin sitting by the kang.
Not only does my stomach hurt, my head also hurts.
He rubbed his temples, remembering fragments.
I remember that in the banquet hall of the inner hotel, there was an endless stream of Mongolian prince Taiji toasting in front of me.
Then, he drank one cup after another.
Prince Xin, the superior, was also in the same situation at first, but later he told him something and found an excuse to escape.
The ninth and tenth people at the bottom are not there, and the seats are empty.
The Thirteenth Brother across the table was there, but he couldn't let his immature brother hold the drinks for him, so he could only hold on with a straight face.
…
"How did I get back?"
Brother Si asked.
Si Fujin raised his head after hearing the movement. Instead of answering in a hurry, he stood up and poured a glass of warm water over to him.
Brother Si took a big gulp and felt that his throat was much more relaxed.
"The ninth and tenth brothers used Mr. Qi Xi's carriage to send me back... I'm so old, I'm not as good as the younger brothers. The three younger brothers didn't drink too much, but I drank too much... …”
Si Fujin couldn't help but scolded.
It's not that she likes to be nagging, but she knows that Si Age's stomach is not good either.
Although his spleen and stomach are not as severely injured as Brother Nine, he still has some problems. He cannot eat cold food or drink too much alcohol.
Otherwise, it will always hurt for two days.
Brother Si put down his cup and rubbed his stomach.
He couldn't remember what happened when he was drunk. He also remembered some of the previous things.
Brother Jiu didn't seem to drink much at first, but he left afterward.
The tenth prince has been toasting at the table opposite.
At Thirteen, I stopped him twice, and someone seemed to have passed by behind me.
"Didn't Old Ten and Thirteen drink too much?"
Brother Si was a little worried and asked.
Si Fujin shook his head and said with a smile: "You are still awake, and you are still telling me wisecracks. Lao Jiu said that I will draw a picture later to show my drunk state... Thirteenth brother asked me to tell you, don't be too honest in the future. , remember to ask someone to change the water, or mix it with water, so that you will not be drunk... On the other hand, Lao Shi thanked me seriously again, saying that it made you, my brother, suffer..."
Brother Si was relieved, but his teeth were also itching.
Is Lao Jiu gloating about his misfortune?
You still dare to paint, but it needs repairs!
Si Fujin thought about the carriage and said: "Master, the next one will be Jiujiu. It's very cold this year, so I might as well use a carriage when traveling..."
The location of their Baylor Mansion is in the north of the city.
Not far from the North City Wall.
But the Liubu Yamen is in the south of the city.
There is the Imperial City in the middle, and it takes a detour from the Imperial City's root, which takes eleven or two miles.
Those who go out early and come back late suffer very much.
The fourth elder brother frowned and shook his head: "It's not like this. Khan Ama once issued an edict to reprimand the princes of the Eight Banners for being lazy. Now my uncle and uncle still ride horses when traveling, and it's not easy for me to ride in a car..."
Si Fujin couldn't persuade him any more and could only sigh.
Fourth Brother is still a little uncomfortable.
He is usually the only one who takes care of his younger brothers, but today he was taken care of by his younger brothers.
It seems that my brother's majesty has been reduced a lot.
But thinking about today’s engagement ceremony and the betrothal silver reward...
He told Si Fujin: "Look at Khan Amma's intention to promote Lao Shi and Shi Fujin... When Shi Fujin comes in from now on, you should be more polite..."
Si Fujin nodded in agreement and kept it in mind.
Although they are both princes, Fujin, she has long accepted the difference in their status.
This was done to the Crown Princess and Dafu Jin before.
Although he was respectful to his sister-in-law in the past and polite to his younger siblings in the future, and it seemed that there was still an elder and a younger child, Sifujin was calm because the royal family always puts dignity first.
Even if Fourth Brother didn't tell her this, could she still bully her sister-in-law?
Thinking of his sister-in-law, Si Fujin stood up and took the brocade box from the dressing table.
Brother Si came back very late yesterday and left early this morning, so she didn't have time to say this.
"Concubine Yi's mother asked the ninth younger sister to give it to me. It's too expensive. I wanted to refuse it, but I didn't want to embarrass the ninth younger sister. It's a gift from an elder..."
Si Fujin opened the pocket watch box and said, "Look, what gift should we give in return?"
She also has the same problem as Shu Shu.
In terms of favors, I would rather be owed something to myself than to owe it to others.
The fourth elder brother looked at her intently for several times. Thinking of Concubine Yi's motherly heart, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to repay the favor right away. Let's talk about it later. When you go to Ningshou Palace, take more care of the fifth family..."
This is the biological father and son.
Brother Si's impression of Wufujin is not very good either.
I feel that the Five Blessings cannot be established and let the elders worry about it.
The Queen Mother was angry because of this, and Concubine Yi gave gifts for this reason.
"The ninth wife is pretty good..."
The fourth elder brother couldn't say anything derogatory to his brother's wife, but he couldn't help but praise Shu Shu: "Lao Jiu used to be careless and insignificant, but now he is an adult, and today's first wedding ceremony was also thoughtful and decent..."
Sifujin has been in the palace for many years, and he has watched his brother-in-law grow up, so he naturally knows how unruly the ninth elder brother was before.
Compared with now, he is a completely different person.
She said with a smile: "I don't think so unless I say it, but I really don't dare to think about it. This is the benefit of having a good wife at home..."
There is an old saying among the people that if the family has a good wife, the husband will not suffer any misfortune.
Another sentence came to mind in the fourth brother's mind.
If there is a fierce woman at home, good friends will not come.
He turned his head, looked in the direction next door, and said, "There's nothing going on at Lao Ba's house today..."
After hearing this, Si Fujin hesitated for a moment and said, "A carriage is coming this afternoon. It seems like someone is coming from Prince An's Mansion..."
After hearing this, Brother Si couldn't help but frown, feeling very uncomfortable.
Bafujin was unfilial and disobedient. Khan Amma scolded Laoba because he was not strict in running the family and indulged his wife.
At this time, Prince An's Mansion is getting involved, what's going on?
