My father-in-law is Kangxi

The next day was May [-]th, the day when Brother Nine had a banquet.

Zhuangzi gave away a slaughtered pig, a lamb, a cage of chickens early in the morning, and a few live black fish bought in the surrounding market.

The menu here at Wushou has been finalized long ago, and the dining room has been prepared early in the morning.

In addition to the dishes ordered by the elder brothers, Shu Shu also added a few dishes.

Two dishes of braised lamb tripe and cumin lamb tendons are my favorite.

Two relatively light dishes, cabbage mandarin duck pie and cucumber fungus scrambled eggs, are for the fourth elder brother.

In addition, a dish of pureed cherry yam and a dish of eggplant with mashed garlic are prepared for Brother Jiu.

Here, Shu Shu changed into a light rouge gauze dress, took Walnut and Xiaosong to the North Garden, followed by Zhou Song, holding a wooden bucket in his hand.

Walnut holds a jar of cherry sauce in his hand, and Xiaosong holds a jar of beef fried sauce. The sweet ones can be drunk directly with water, and the salty ones can be eaten with noodles or sandwiches.

The weather is hot right now, the Empress Dowager has spared everyone from paying their respects, and there is no need to go to pay their respects every five or ten days.

Shu Shu went there now, to deliver fish to the Queen Mother.

There is no such thing in the dining room on weekdays.

After a while, I entered the North Garden and arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace.

The Empress Dowager didn't ask someone to send the wooden barrel containing black fish to the dining room immediately, but looked around for a while, and asked Shu Shu, "How do you eat it? Do you eat fish fillets, or the fish fillets in sour soup?"

Shu Shu said: "As long as it's fish fillets, it's fine, and the thorns can be picked out in advance, otherwise it's not good if the fish bones get stuck. Last year, when our grandfather ate steamed fish, the fish bones got stuck, and he drank half a bottle of vinegar to get rid of it." Soft..."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Monkey is impatient, so I can no longer steam fish for him in the future, I can make fish fillets or fish balls."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, there is no such thing as steamed fish in our house anymore."

When Jiu Gege heard that Shu Shu was here, he also came over, and asked with a smile, "I heard that your place is so lively in the morning, there are loads of things being delivered there, and where are the watermelons?"

Girls don't want to eat in summer, they like melons and fruits.

Shu Shu said: "Daxing is far away, but it should be there before noon, I sent someone there yesterday, but the watermelons are not ripe at the moment, but the melons are the first stubble, it should be here now, so I sent someone to deliver them at noon. "

Jiu Gege responded with a smile, then paused, and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, there will be a happy event here in a few days, Concubine Hui will come to recognize her daughter, Khan Ama told her that the tenth younger sister will be raised by the concubine from now on."

Shu Shu said: "That's really a happy event, when the time comes, my sisters-in-law and I will come over to watch the ceremony."

The queen mother asked someone to make a bowl of fried rice with yogurt for Shushu, and also put milk chews and half a spoonful of frosting sugar.

Shu Shu ate, and said: "I think of the time when I visited the North last year, Horqin's yogurt tastes better..."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I don't have Horqin's yogurt, but I do have Horqin's Naipi. I'll pack two packs for you in a while and make milk tea directly."

Shu Shu responded with a smile.

The queen mother asked: "Does the fifth child live here today?"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, our master is serving wine at night. After drinking, how can we hurry? Just stay here for one night and come back tomorrow morning."

The queen mother agreed: "Yes, yes, you can't ride a horse if you drink alcohol, and you will fall again; it will be uncomfortable to ride a car, and you will feel sick again."

Shu Shu remembered the matter of the ninth elder brother asking the twelfth elder brother to pass on the message, she couldn't help laughing, and said to the queen mother: "Our master has no one, and I don't know who is following this thrifty life. Yesterday I called the twelve elder brothers Tell fifth brother when you go back, let fifth brother bring the bedding here today, what do you think he thinks? Yesterday he also told me to prepare two new beddings for fifth brother and twelfth brother..."

The Empress Dowager said: "Brother Ninth is old, it's just right, just stay for one night, there's no need to throw away two new sets of bedding."

Jiu Gege said from the side: "Sister-in-law Jiu, Brother Jiu, is this treat to celebrate the reinstatement of the official?"

Shu Shu was taken aback, looked at Jiugege and said, "The people below passed it on like this?"

In the past few days, the news that the North Fifth Institute will have a banquet has spread.

After all, they all lived here, and when Sun Jin and Zhou Song went out to run errands to deliver invitations, the servants of the elder brothers would know.

This spread also spread to the North Garden.

Jiu Gege nodded, and said: "Yes, I'm still thinking about it. Brother Jiu really wants to treat guests for this, you should stop him, otherwise, this third brother and third sister-in-law will be too embarrassed."

Shu Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "It's all making up stories outside. Master Jiu and Sanbeile have nothing against each other. Sanbeile is also a guest tonight. It's a business that your brother Jiu set up last year and used the money of his brothers. Today It’s a repayment and a thank you.”

Jiugege said: "I just said, it sounds awkward, it was originally for this treat."

The Queen Mother was listening and said to Shu Shu: "That's right, there is no overnight feud between brothers, 'ants with one heart eat horned deer, magpies with one heart catch tigers', only those who are useless think about it." Fighting in the nest."

Shu Shu said: "Grandmother, don't worry, our grandfather is young and may not understand the other truths, but we understand the truth of 'brothers and brothers respect', respect brothers."

Because there are still things to be busy at the fifth institute today, Shu Shu chatted a few words before getting up to leave.

The Queen Mother didn't keep her either, so she asked Mother Bai to pack fried rice and Naipizi for her.

Jiugege sent it out in person, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Jiu, do you think there are any shortcomings in my rules?"

Because of the Shigege thing, the Jiugege thing hurts its kind, and it is a little sensitive.

Shu Shu squeezed her hand, and said: "What are you talking about? You are a noble princess, or you were raised by the emperor's mother. You are the rules yourself, and you don't want to be bound by the rules. You will be sad again It hurts Qiu, but I am sorry for the kindness that the imperial grandmother has treated you..."

Jiu Gege was a little sad, and said: "But Shi Gege is also the princess, and I am the same..."

Shu Shu said solemnly: "You have read books, you should know what the Great Wall is. Kharkha is the same barrier in northern Xinjiang as the Great Wall. Shi Gege refers to marriage to Khalkha Taiji, her and her children and grandchildren. It will also become a part of this barrier. The emperor pointed out the high-ranking concubine to be her adoptive mother, not to be picky about the rules, but out of compassion, and hope that she will follow the concubine and learn more from the concubine's calmness and tenacity."

Jiu Gege nodded, and said with a bit of embarrassment: "I see, I was thinking too much."

Shu Shu smiled and said: "Anyway, you have to know that those of us who are prince Fujin envy you royal princesses..."

The sister-in-law was talking and arrived at the gate of the West Garden.

Say goodbye to sister-in-law.

Shu Shu arrived at the gate of the North Fifth Institute, looked back, and saw Jiu Gege was still standing, so he waved his hand.

Seeing this, Jiugege turned back.

The banquet is set in the front yard.

The tables are all turntables specially made by people.

There are two layers in total, the bottom layer is non-rotatable, and holds their own dishes, teacups, chopsticks, and the upper layer can be rotated to put vegetables.

Now the dining table is placed in the west room in the front yard, with a total of ten seats.

It was about noon when Daxing Zhuangzi's carriage arrived.

In addition to half a carload of watermelons and half a carload of cantaloupe, there are also two baskets of green apricots.

Shu Shu tasted one, and her saliva flowed out.

This is not something ordinary people can eat.

She sent someone to send a basket to Nansan Institute.

The rest of the basket is going to be brought back by Brother Wu tomorrow.

The watermelon was only sent to the North Garden and Changchun Garden. After all, the fourteenth elder brother named the watermelon juice, but it is not good to really give him and the thirteenth elder brother special exceptions.

There are four baskets of cantaloupe, and it is not very fragrant, but it has not been officially launched at this time, so it is still a fresh taste.

Shu Shu asked Walnut to take Xiaosong and sent them around, except for the North Head Office and the South Second Office.

Hechi No. [-] and the Prince's Office of Douyuan Bookstore also gave it away.

The movement in the west garden fell into the eyes of others, so someone went to report to the prince.

The prince rubbed his temples, feeling a little irritable.

What does brother nine mean?
He wants to treat guests, and sends out posts everywhere, everyone has a share, but only himself is left behind. Is this deliberately embarrassing himself?
You're not a big fool, you can't be so stupid, right? !

Is this still holding a grudge?

But when Akdon was sick earlier, didn't he act like an uncle?

After thinking about it, he went to the princess.

The princess here, just asked someone to wash two melons, cut them up, and shared them with San Age and San Gege.

"Sweet……"

Third elder brother is already five years old, and he is still a little naive.

San Gege is one year younger than his elder brother, and he is already very articulate, saying: "It was given by Aunt Jiu, and the watermelon from before was also..."

The prince came in, and just hearing this sentence, he couldn't help frowning.

Before Dong E's asked someone to bring watermelon over, but only sent one watermelon.

The princess gave most of it to Sangege and Sangege, and also left two yuan for Akton and Hongxi, but she ignored her as the male master.

Unexpectedly, this can't be said, what he said seems to be a fight between him and his children.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood again, after the princess got up to greet him, she signaled the nanny to carry San Gege and go down with the third elder brother.

The prince glanced at the third elder brother angrily.

No matter how old she is, she still needs to be hugged.

The third elder brother was so frightened that he hid his head in the embrace of the nanny.

Seeing this, the princess felt sullen in her heart.

She knew why the crown prince didn't like the third elder brother, it was because the third elder brother was brought up by himself, and his identity in the future would be higher than that of the Akton brothers, but the third elder brother's qualifications were far from Hong Xi's, and even Ake Tun can't compare.

Apart from weighing qualifications and identities, don't talk about the slightest affection?
What about my Sangege?
The princess didn't dare to think about it.

The prince looked at her and said, "What's going on with brother Jiu, you can find a reason and send someone over there to ask."

The princess had also heard about the invitation to a banquet at the Fifth Northern Institute.

She looked at the crown prince and said: "These brothers get together and find an excuse to eat and drink. You don't have to worry, this is on the edge of Changchun Garden, under the eyes of the emperor, even if you drink too much, you won't make a fuss... ..."

The prince looked at the concubine and felt that the chicken was talking to the duck, was he worried that elder brother Jiu would be drunk?

I was worried that he would be bewitched by the boss, and I would pull my brothers to get close to the big brother...

The main house of Nantou.

Eldest brother glanced at the clock, it was Shenzheng two quarters, and he was ready to go, for the sake of the evening meal, he didn't eat a few bites at noon...
