Shu Shu asked Walnut to change the Gurkha knife.
This was originally prepared for the birthday of the sixteenth prince.
Brother Sixteen’s birthday is in mid-June, and all little boys don’t like knives.
You can misappropriate it first and send it back to the Prince's Mansion in a few days to pick up a copy.
She changed into a solid gauze gown that was new and not old. She chose apricot color, and her head was decorated with pink crystal flowers, which looked refreshing.
Brother Jiu said, "Why don't you change into new clothes?"
Shu Shu said: "My family is having a small banquet, and there are no outsiders. It's not good to be too solemn."
Brother Jiu looked at her pink face and couldn't see any trace of rouge.
On weekdays, when I'm at home, I don't have the time to sit in front of the dressing table and pat myself for two-quarters of an hour.
Brother Jiu took the folding umbrella and said, "It looks good without tidying it up, but it looks better after tidying it up."
Although he couldn't see any difference, he still looked very happy.
Everyone likes to hear good things, and Shu Shu is no exception. She feels very happy.
The twelfth elder brother looked at the clock and was already waiting.
I saw my brother and sister-in-law coming out, and after saying hello to Shu Shu, I followed the couple out.
Jiu Gege and Ten Gege have come out of the West Garden and are talking to the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers.
The ten princes and his wife also came out.
Brother Ten was talking to Brother Seven, while Shi Fujin was holding Qi Fujin's hand and looking at her shoes.
Seeing Shu Shu come out, Shi Fujin hurriedly greeted him and said: "Sister-in-law Ninth, come here quickly and take a look at Sister-in-law Seven's shoes..."
Shu Shu quickly took two steps forward and looked down.
It turns out that Qi Fujin is not wearing ordinary flag shoes, but high-heeled shoes.
The water table is one and a half inches, and the heel is four inches.
Looking tall, the shoes on the front are not as bulky as flag shoes.
"Sister-in-law Seven has made it? It's pretty good-looking and delicate. Is it stable when walking?"
Shu Shu praised and asked.
It turns out that Shu Shu brought back a lot of things from her southern tour last year, including a pair of super high heels.
At the housewarming party of the Prince's Mansion last year, Shu Shu showed it to everyone.
At that time Qi Fujin also asked a few questions.
It must have been that I wasn't in the mood to sort it out at the time. Now that my life was going smoothly, I thought of this and asked someone to try it.
Qi Fujin turned around in a circle and said, "Stay stable. Compared with the flag shoes, it's not easy to sprain your feet."
Shi Fujin looked at it and his mouth was watering.
She is similar in stature to Qi Fujin, but now half a head smaller.
Seeing this, Qi Fujin covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, saying, "I've had several pairs made. You can go over and try them tomorrow. If they fit, I'll give them to you. If they don't, I'll ask someone to make them again."
Shi Fujin nodded hurriedly and said: "Thank you Qi Sister-in-law. I want to give it a try. I will exchange the leather with Qi Sister-in-law. When my brother left Beijing, he said that he would bring several carts of cowhide over in September to make boots for me."
Qi Fujin said cheerfully: "Okay, then I'll take care of my younger siblings."
At this moment, the third elder brother and his wife from Tousho also came out.
The brothers were in front, and Fujin and the princesses were behind, heading south along the corridor.
San Fujin also saw Qi Fujin's new shoes. They had small round toes with green tourmaline beads on them, which matched the bamboo-colored coat that Qi Fujin was wearing.
"Good-looking, looks like my feet are small."
Sanfujin loves beauty the most, and he immediately sees the key.
Whether it is flag shoes or flag boots, they are usually made loose, and the soles look much longer than the actual length of the foot.
In this way, it seems that all the women of the Eight Banners have big feet.
This kind of wedge-style high-heeled shoes makes the shoes appear to be too small and not as solid under the feet.
Qi Fujin said: "I look like a shoe. If you like it, you can ask someone to do it. It will be quick."
She didn't say that she meant to give Sanfujin new shoes. The two families had normal interactions, and the relationship between the two was not intimate.
San Fujin nodded and said, "Then I'll send someone to get it tomorrow."
Shi Fujin was beside him, a little confused.
What the third sister-in-law had was a pair of shoes. Should she also have a pair of shoes, instead of the seventh sister-in-law’s new shoes?
Jiu Gege and Shi Gege are of average height. They don't care about height as much as some sisters-in-law, but they also like the elegance of new shoes.
It doesn't need to be so high, just two and a half inches, made into a wedge heel, and these shoes are also shorter than flag shoes.
Jiu Gege was more familiar with everyone, so she said: "Sister-in-law Qi, can you give me a copy of those shoes? I also want to ask someone to try..."
Qi Fujin did not nod this time, but shook his head and said: "Ge Ge just sends someone to bring the measurements. You are in the palace and there is no dedicated shoemaker, so you still have to send someone out to find someone. There is no need..."
At this point, she looked at Shi Gege and said: "Sister Ten, too. There is no need to be an outsider. I can still give a few pairs of shoes to my brother and sister-in-law's house."
Shi Gege's face turned red and she didn't know how to respond. She looked at Jiu Gege with a bit of helplessness.
Jiu Gege said: "Then I'll trouble Sister-in-law Seven."
Thank you very much.
Shi Gege followed suit and whispered his thanks.
At this moment, Brother Fourteen ran over.
It turned out that when he saw everyone talking around Qi Fujin, he looked back a few times and saw that something was unusual.
"Sister-in-law Seven, Sister-in-law Seven, these shoes of yours are really good. Can you make men's shoes? Can you help my brother make two pairs too?"
The fourteenth elder brother brought the favor.
Qi Fujin looked at his stature and said, "You're not short, why are you thinking about this?"
The Fourteenth Brother puffed up his chest and said, "Not as tall as the Thirteenth Brother, only two inches behind!"
This is his younger brother-in-law. Qi Fujin nodded and said, "Okay, my fourteenth brother will go back and send someone to bring the measurements."
The fourteenth elder brother thanked him and went ahead to chase his brothers with joy.
Jiu Gege was standing by and wanted to reprimand him, but he couldn't find a chance.
With shame, she looked at Qi Fujin and said, "Fourteen is ignorant and has caused you trouble..."
Qi Fujin waved his hands and said: "What's so special about a single sentence? My fourteenth brother is like a child. When he puts it on, he puts it down after having fun. We walk in a decent manner and can live in it. He is like this You are really enjoying your life, how can you bear this?"
San Fujin looked at Qi Fujin from the side and said with a smile: "How old are you? Listen to this, you are old-fashioned, but you are like an old sister-in-law!"
Qi Fujin touched his face and said with melancholy: "She is already twenty, but she has become an old sister-in-law!"
San Fujin hurriedly blocked his ears and said: "When you talk from now on, don't talk about your age, you can't listen to me!"
Shu Shu was by the side, listening to everyone talking, and was very speechless.
Is twenty years old?
Twenty-three can’t be heard talking about age?
Shi Fujin also felt strange when he heard this. He held Shu Shu's arm and whispered: "Sister-in-law Jiu, I was still young when I was twenty-six or thirty-six, and I don't want to be an old sister-in-law."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I can't be a good one. There are so many sisters-in-law up here. If we don't fall in love, we can still pretend to be young for many years."
"Uh-huh……"
Shifujin immediately became happy after hearing this.
Jiu Gege and Shi Gege looked at each other. The two sisters felt that Jiu Gege was more like an old sister-in-law and could coax people.
It was a total of two and a half miles, and the brothers in front walked quickly with long steps.
When they arrived at Nanwusuo, Nujuan arrived at the main gate of Changchun Garden.
Here at Nanwusuo, although today is a family banquet, there are differences between men and women, so Princess Kejing is entertaining guests in the front yard.
The brothers were arranged to talk during the east period, and the female protagonist was asked to do the talking during the west period.
The banquet is located in the main room and is for two people.
Princess Kejing was accompanying Si Fujin and talking to Ba Fujin. When she heard that the guests had arrived, she came out to greet them.
The fourth Fujin wanted to get up, but Princess Kejing stopped her, and only the eighth Fujin was brought out.
The eldest brother, fourth brother, and eighth brother live next to each other and have already arrived.
Except for the elder brother who did not move, the fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother also came out.
Hearing that the female scroll was still behind, Princess Kejing did not go back and looked at the past.
The weather was fine and we could see clearly, the women were approaching from far away.
Princess Kejing looked at the West Garden.
At today’s small banquet, the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers were not invited.
Even though the two little brothers have entered the study room, they are still young.
She didn't invite the prince or princess.
There is a difference between the king and his ministers, and they cannot be humble and respectful.
But in the afternoon, she went over to greet the Crown Princess, and her sister-in-law sat and chatted for a while.
Before she got married, she felt that life in the palace was peaceful and uneventful.
Khan Amma is a person who values rules and doesn't like trouble, so there is no such mess in the harem.
Even if there are occasional small disturbances among the palace concubines, they are like the ups and downs in a teacup.
The legendary strife in the harem does not exist at all.
As a result, it has only been three or four years, but there has been such a big change.
The concubine was abolished, and the concubine Rong was demoted...
The prince lost his helper Suo'etu.
Even the eldest brother, who had always been favored by the emperor's father, was fined two times.
What will happen in the future?
Princess Kejing felt frightened when she thought about it.
At this time, Shu Shu followed everyone and arrived, leading the princess into the elder brother's house.
After greetings during the day, it was now dinner time. Everyone was ready and took their seats.
According to Manchu custom, unmarried aunts are the most noble, so Jiu Gege and Shi Gege sat at the head table on the east side.
The first table on the west side was supposed to be for the eldest brother and his wife, but the eldest brother was a widower, so he took the fifth brother, who was also alone, to sit there.
It's not that Wu Fujin couldn't come, but that Princess Heshuo went to Baylor Mansion to stop Wu Fujin before she came out of the princess's courtyard today, and Wu Fujin was not allowed to mess around.
The second seat on the east side is occupied by the third elder brother and his wife, the third seat is occupied by the seventh elder brother and his wife, the fourth seat is occupied by the ninth elder brother and Shu Shu, and the fifth seat is occupied by the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother.
The second seat on the west side is for the fourth prince and his wife, the third seat is for the eighth prince and his wife, the fourth seat is for the tenth prince and his wife, and the fifth seat is for the fourteenth prince.
Princess Kejing is in the upright position, sitting alone facing everyone.
Everyone thought it was a full table or a crowded table, but when they took their seats, they discovered the difference.
The table for two people is not big, and the utensils are exquisite and small.
There are four dried fruits on the table, ginkgo, almonds, walnuts, and hazelnuts.
Four fresh fruits, oranges, bananas, apples and cherries.
Four candied fruits: candied peach preserves, candied loquats, candied longans, and candied kumquats.
Eight cold dishes on the table, four meat and four vegetarian.
This is the rule of the banquet.
Brother Jiu said to Shu Shu: "Look, the fourth sister is not short of money, so she has definitely booked a good banquet."
These are all stationary at the moment, and the hot dishes that follow are a bit like running water.
It is a set of three plates of food, also known as "strips to the court".
You have to take it out while eating, otherwise there won’t be space on the table.
There are four groups in total, and they have all been eaten once. After they are removed, there are four more large dishes on the table, and you can eat slowly.
Princess Kejing picked up Kuaizi and said, "I didn't prepare the palace's regular dishes today, nor did I roast the lamb. I asked someone to find a Shandong restaurant and ordered a swallow-wing banquet. I'll have an eye-opener with everyone."
Now that Yan Chi Xi has just started to come out, what she said is true.
Although the princes and princesses present here have noble status, they have few opportunities to eat out. This is really the first time for most of them at Yanqi Banquet.
As soon as she, the proprietor, moved quickly, everyone followed suit.
The fourteenth elder brother got a single seat, and he didn't feel deserted at all, but felt that it was the best.
He hasn't been to a restaurant yet!
But I have eaten the banquet in the palace, and I know that the good things will come later.
Shi Fujin was nearby. When he heard Lu Cai, he swallowed his saliva and asked Brother Shi: "Are there Sixi meatballs?"
Last year, they went south to "welcome the driver" and passed through Shandong, where they ate Shandong cuisine for a few days.
Brother Ten is not sure.
Although Sixi Meatballs is a Shandong cuisine, it is made from pork and is not of high quality, so it may not be found in high-end banquets.
Brother 10 said: "The main ones should be bird's nests and shark's fins, not necessarily the others."
When the first round of dishes arrived, I tasted the official bird's nest, which came with two side dishes of peony, white fungus and fried green scallops.
It looks very exquisite.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but bite Shu Shu's ears and said: "There are designated people who don't have enough to eat tonight..."
Such an exquisite meal may seem expensive, but it may not be delicious.
Shu Shu met Princess Kejing twice and saw that she was a considerate person and said: "The princess has other arrangements."
Finally, there are four dishes that are on the table, and the one is probably the heavier one.
This round, it’s salty dumplings and crystal shrimp dumplings.
It's crispy on the outside and whole prawns on the inside.
Shu Shu fell in love immediately.
She recalled the time Fusong went to Tianjin in the spring.
When the weather gets cooler, we can ask people to buy fish and shrimp from Tianjin.
Three more rounds were served, and the main dishes were braised shark's fin, braised sea cucumber, and anchovy prawns. Most of the side dishes were seafood-based.
Shu Shu ate with satisfaction.
This is probably the best restaurant in Beijing. In addition to dried seafood, other prawns, shellfish, clams, and small sea fish are all fresh.
Not only did she eat beautifully, but the other girls also ate with satisfaction.
For them, this is also an eye-opener.
However, the prince's brother's place was similar to what the ninth prince thought. He felt that the taste was a bit bland and he was not full.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily glanced at the table of Brother Jiu and his wife, missing the noodles at Beiwusuo very much, the red and spicy taste, or the rich and spicy red sauce.
They thought that Beiwusuo had a strong taste and that Brother Jiu and Shu Shu would not be able to get used to the noodles tonight, but they saw that Shu Shu was eating them with gusto.
On the other hand, Brother Jiu doesn't like the taste of seafood, so he only eats the vegetarian chicken in the cold dishes.
At this moment, the table was removed again.
The food for the four people on the table was served.
Crispy duck, Sixi meatballs, Yuanbao roasted pork, stir-fried vegetables.
The staple food is lotus leaf pancake and rice.
The prince's brothers now feel that they can move fast.
Brother Jiu felt that he couldn't make a quick meal, so he took a bite of bean sprouts with a lotus leaf cake and ate it slowly.
At this moment, there was movement at the door. It was Liang Jiugong, followed by a eunuch carrying a food box.
It's the dish from the emperor that has arrived.
When Princess Kejing saw this, she quickly put Kuai Zi down and stood up.
Everyone also stood up.
Liang Jiugong said: "Princess, the emperor will give you a plate of steamed fish..."
Princess Kejing was busy thanking her.
Liang Jiugong took out a plate from the food box. It was a bright yellow gold-plated dragon-foot plate with steamed fish belly on it.
Princess Kejing asked someone to pick her up.
When Liang Jiugong left, everyone looked at Princess Kejing with their own thoughts.
The princes in the branch all thought of the days in the palace.
At that time, the emperor often gave vegetables to the emperor.
In the first year after leaving the palace, there were still gifts of vegetables, but in the next two years, there seemed to be less of them.
To the ministers, giving food was an honor; to them, the princes and daughters, it really was nothing.
When Brother Jiu saw that it was fish meat, he whispered to Shu Shu in a low voice: "Is this Ama Khan's 'borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha'..."
Shu Shu smiled and did not respond.
The weather was hot, so fish should be eaten fresh. Even Kangxi himself could not finish the fish weighing more than ten kilograms.
Definitely want to go outside to enjoy the food.
*
Tuoyuan Bookstore, main hall.
The prince looked at the braised fish tail with rich red sauce and didn't want to touch Taiko at all.
The weather is hot, and he has been feeling a little dry recently, so he doesn't like eating such heavy food.
He casually told the eunuch who was serving the kitchen: "The emperor is giving you a reward. Big fish are also rare. Take them and share them. Send them to the Crown Princess and Hongxi to share the emperor's grace..."
