The ninth elder brother was showing off there and said to the seventh elder brother: "Being awake at night is not a minor problem. It should be treated as soon as possible. I got two boxes of good agarwood here in the past few months. You can bring the medicine and incense maker later... "The seventh elder brother didn't want to mention this again, so he changed his words and said: "Counting the days, the holy driver will turn back soon, do you two still want to go to 'welcome' him?" If you are going to greet him, you can't just go there, you have to First submit a message to ask for the order, and only then can you go out to welcome him.
Now it's time to ask for orders. After hearing this, the ninth elder brother was immediately moved and looked at the tenth elder brother. Shengjia did not go to Haidian this year, but took the Changping and Huairou route.
If you go out to welcome us, you will go to Xiaotangshan in one day and to Huairou in two days. If you are in Xiaotangshan, you can take a look at how the palace is decorated.
If you are in Huairou, if you have plenty of time, you can also go to Hongluo Temple. The air is crisp in autumn and it’s neither too cold nor too hot. It’s a good time to go out for a walk.
The tenth elder brother saw that the ninth elder brother was moved, and nodded: "If the ninth elder brother wants to go, just ask for permission, and I will co-sign..." He did not mention the twelfth elder brother.
When he was accompanying the retinue, the emperor's father did not order the twelfth elder brother. Adding the twelfth elder brother at this time would only make the twelfth elder brother uncomfortable.
The ninth elder brother also thought about this and said: "Okay, then we two brothers will go to Huairou to welcome him, and the seventh elder brother and the twelfth younger brother will look after the house..." The twelfth elder brother looked unmoved. If he went to other places, It's impossible to say that he was interested; but when he went to the Imperial Palace, he didn't care about it at all.
It is a hundred and twenty miles from the capital to Huairou and a hundred miles out to welcome him. This is also their filial piety as sons. When I went there, I happened to be able to order fruits from an orchard in Changping.
Last year, there were too few peaches and apples in sugar water to eat. In the garden of the Prince's Mansion, a cellar was dug to store more apples and autumn pears.
After the brothers finished chatting, they started eating and drinking. * In the east room of the main courtyard, several of my sisters-in-law also ate. Nowadays, swallow-wing banquets are popular in the capital, and they are all Kung Fu dishes. Their sister-in-law is the prince Fujin, so they have plenty to eat.
Shi Fujin looked at the dishes carefully and wondered: "How come the dishes are different from the ones the fourth sister served last time?" The last time was also a swallow-wing banquet.
However, whether it is the side dishes or the main dishes, few of them are the same as last time. Qi Fujin looked at Shu Shu and asked, "Is it because of the season?" Because among the dishes now there is a dish of chrysanthemum agarwood, which is made of fresh chrysanthemums; there is also a dish of crab roe and shark's fin, and a dish of crab roe from the river, which are also unique at this time. .
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Their Yan's Wing Banquet is made very finely, with different recipes for the four seasons, and there is also a separate Halal banquet." Qifu Jin immediately said: "Then when I celebrate my birthday in winter, I will also call them their dish. , then we will see the winter recipes again." Shu Shu smiled and said: "Then we will wait." Shi Fujin took a bite of crab roe and shark fin, and said, "Then I will treat you to a spring banquet, find one It’s a treat for the day.” The three of us are not short of money.
Qi Fujin thought for a while and said: "If the fourth sister-in-law's side launches the campaign in September, the confinement period will be in October, which coincides with the winter months. There will be more people." Although each family has moved out of the palace for three years, apart from the warm pot banquet Other than that, I rarely have a large banquet.
Because Prince Zhi had a filial piety before, there was no hostess, and no one served the wine in recent years. Here in Sanbeile Mansion, Sanfujin gave birth to a child and took care of the child, and there was no formal banquet.
The brothers and sisters-in-law in the back followed the crowd, and there were no big banquets for guests.
"It's been three years. Except for the time when Eighth Prince married Fu Jin, I haven't had a few banquets..." Qi Fujin sighed.
Shi Fujin had never met Da Fujin and had no sympathy for him, so he said, "Now that the new sister-in-law has come in, do you want to follow her direction in the future?" Qi Fujin nodded and said, "That's probably the case." Shu Shu felt that the banquet would also be held by then. Not much.
When Ji Fujin comes in, he will act cautiously and follow the example. Nothing happens when there are no precedents to follow.
That's fine too. Shu Shu is not tired of going to banquets, but she doesn't like big banquets. The banquet is just for making up the numbers, which is very tiring and not interesting.
A small banquet like this between brothers and sisters is much more comfortable. Everyone talks and laughs, plays cards and gossips, which relieves boredom.
After lunch, the three of them drank tea for a while and then dispersed. There will be a second dinner here at the Prince's Mansion tonight.
It was a family banquet for the prince's palace staff and guards. It’s also called the Swallow Wings Banquet, but it’s not the first-class one at noon, but the second-class one.
The price difference is not less than two taels of silver, this is the rule. There are three tables in the front and one in the back. Here in Shushu, all the people being entertained are the wives of the staff who live behind the scenes.
With Guizhen Gege, we don’t have much contact with the others, but we are still familiar with each other. Only the eldest grandma of the Zhang family is older and has been related to everyone for a generation. The others are also young wives, only a few years older than Shu Shu, lively and pretty.
The eldest grandma of the Zhang family is also the daughter of a high-ranking official, but the rules of the bannermen are different, so she was a little cautious when she came to the prince's mansion before.
But as time went by, the two families were still married and felt much more comfortable. At present, there are many ceremonies for Cao Yueying, but he is a widower and his concubine takes care of his life, so he is not qualified to go to the prince's mansion for banquets.
Therefore, there were no outsiders at today's small banquet, and everyone felt much more at ease. Grandma Zhang looked at everyone's comfort and said with envy: "I won't say anything else. I just say that the girl in the flag enjoys happiness and the daughter-in-law is also at ease." It is a good habit to separate the family when they get married.
It doesn’t take years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law. Here, her stepson and daughter-in-law have come in, but before her parents-in-law, she still serves as a waiter.
Although I don’t have to eat three meals a day, it’s sad to think about the past ten years. Fu Qing's wife said: "There are many old-school rules in Banner, but the most valuable thing is when you are a aunt in your parents' family." After hearing this, Grandma Zhang glanced at Shu Shu.
Their family lives in the Imperial City, and they know a lot about the rules of the bannerman draft. In the eyes of uninformed people, one must think that my sister-in-law’s wealth comes from
It came from the "Eight Flags Draft", but Grandma Zhang knew that it wasn't like that. Even in a Baoyi family, the eldest daughter is different and can take over half of her natal family.
The Eight Banners emphasized marriage, mainly because of the preciousness of their daughters. Who wouldn’t love an aunt like Jiu Fujin?
Even if he marries into the royal family, he still has confidence. People say that Jiu Fu Jin is blessed, and he is indeed a blessed person.
Guizhen sat next to Shu Shu and said in a low voice: "The wives of several Zuo Ling and Guan Ling are all asking about it." There were three tables in the front, and there was only one table here because Shu Shu reduced the number of people.
According to convention, since it is a family banquet, if the number of staff members is high, the left collar and the wife of the steward under the name of Ninth Prince can also have a meal at the prince's residence. Unfortunately, Shu Shu only allows them to invite An to kowtow. No one said anything to them.
"My heart is high. I wish I could be the master of this mansion. I can only stay away from him." Shu Shu chuckled.
Last year, they were keeping an eye on the girl next to her, but they were reluctant to part with their eldest son, so they mostly used their second son and nephew to make up for the loss. This year, when she gave birth, there were rumors outside, so they started working hard again, trying to send the girl to the house as an errand.
Later, when a girl wanted to be admitted to the house, a high-minded young lady came forward to report her. Everyone knew about Sima Zhao's intentions.
In the primary election here in the government, these official families were not selected. They were all selected from the non-official families. Because of this, their plans failed, and some people asked relatives and friends to spread the news to Concubine Yi, who simply didn't know what to say.
Because of this, Shu Shu was completely annoyed. After hearing this, Guizhen frowned and said: "You still think that you are a conservator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you are not thinking about being the second master?" After hearing this, Shu Shu smiled and said: "It is really a conservator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sister reminded me.
"Although these two left leaders and the one in charge of the population are in the name of Ninth Prince, because Ninth Prince has not lowered his flag, in fact they are still under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If there is no chance of entering the palace, they can enter the palace. Shu Shu I plan to tell them when they come to the government next time to pay respects. If you want to send your daughter to work as an errand, please report it directly here and you can participate in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the first month of next year.
"Small selection". Because Brother Jiu is not good at drinking, even though the banquet today is complete with soju and rice wine, the gentlemen here only have the right amount.
Everyone is a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, and this is not a place where you can drink freely. On the contrary, the women here, including Guizhen and Fuqing's wife, are all quite capable of drinking.
Shu Shu also had a few more cups of sweet wine. When the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, Brother Jiu came back and saw a slightly drunk Shu Shu.
When Brother Ninth saw this, he sat by the kang and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Have you asked someone to prepare some sobering soup?" Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and said nothing.
Brother Jiu was worried and reached out to touch her head and said, "Drunk?" Perhaps it was autumn and people tended to become sensitive.
Shu Shu thought of Fucha and Fujin, and also thought of the famous
"Little rice cake". The two of them have one thing in common, that is, they are both important ministers under the banner of the prince. The population of the Eight Banners is so small. Which leftist leader does not have high-ranking officials?
When the ninth elder brother divides the banner population, his ambition will not be to flatter the government. When the time comes, if you really want to give instructions to your subordinates, it will be the emperor's order.
Shu Shu thought and pinched Brother Jiu's waist. Brother Jiu saw that she was unhappy, so he didn't hide and moved forward.
There wasn't much flesh that could be pulled from the body, but Shu Shu couldn't bear it. She snorted, put down her hands, and said, "I feel unhappy!" Brother Jiu took her hand and said, "What's wrong? But who is there?" Is it disrespectful and makes you angry?" Shu Shu nodded and said, "I didn't call the ladies of the left collar workers over today. Are those left collar ladies nagging me?" Brother Jiu said, "I'm sorry, I'll call you Ye Xun." Come on, I told them that if someone is shameless and makes you unhappy, then their left collar can be replaced!" Shu Shu felt warm after hearing this.
But thinking that one day the population of the banner genus would be divided and the number would not be small, she looked at Brother Jiu and said: "Baoyi is fine, but what if the population of the banner genus is serious? Like the teacher's family, with a rich family and a big surname. We have to be polite to second-grade officials when the time comes." Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "How can there be such a rule? There is a difference between master and slave, how dare they disrespect the master? Now that they have become more respectable, that is also respect. There is a difference between humbleness, but what if you are a minister of the Secretariat? Unless you raise the flag, you will be a two-level master. You should come to the house to greet you and serve during weddings, weddings, and holidays..." *The next update will be at 12 noon on May 22. Welcome to come starting point app
