My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1164 Afraid

When Brother Nine came back from the yamen, he saw the gift list and was reluctant to bring it with him, saying: "There are no more cheap things?"

Shu Shu said: "That's fine, if it's at least a slap in the face, it's better not to go."

Brother Nine snorted softly: "Is Long Kedo too arrogant? The princes and elder brothers have all sent posts!"

Shu Shu talked about sending someone to Sanbeile Mansion, and said: "Senior elders, who dares to take it lightly? We just follow the crowd, just show our faces."

Brother Jiu nodded, reluctantly said: "That's it..."

He is not a child now, and he knows what is a matter of appearance.

What everyone used to see was not the Tong family, nor Longkodo himself, but the Qianqing Palace.

*
In Yuqing Palace, the crown prince was upset, looked at the gift list, and said to the crown princess: "Did you prepare too much?"

It's just the son of the Duke, or the suspended Duke, and not a successor, so why does Yuqing Palace still send a housewarming gift?

Just ask someone to prepare some wine and banquets to make up for it. Why do you want to send decorations?
The princess looked at the prince, but did not respond.

It's fine if the post is not sent, since it is sent, knowing this, the gift is to be sent.

Living in the palace is very inconvenient, they are not easy to leave the palace, but the etiquette must be thoughtful.

It is also impossible to change this gift list.

I had already asked someone to bring Sanfujin for reference.

"What the hell is Grandpa worrying about?"

The princess asked in confusion.

Before Tong's family returned to Beijing, the crown prince also specifically asked, remember to prepare for the housewarming ceremony, and after more than half a month of work, they changed their minds.

The prince was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Longkodo to be such Longkodo.

I thought that when I met Tong Guowei in Shengjing before, the two families had a tacit understanding.

The Tong family also arranged for a beautiful girl from Shengjing to enter the capital, which was prepared for Yuqing Palace.

After Ke Long Keduo returned to Beijing, he didn't intend to get close to Yuqing Palace, instead he went to get close to the third elder brother.

He felt a little slapped in the face, so he didn't want to give Longko more face.

Now that the Crown Princess revealed this matter, he felt a little ashamed and annoyed, and said very bluntly: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, Yuqing Palace has a lot of property, it's not for you to be generous in exchange for a good reputation!"

The Crown Princess looked at the Prince and didn't want to say anything. She just turned the gift slip over and said indifferently: "As the Lord ordered, this gift will be waived? Don't you need to send someone over to congratulate?"

"You..." The prince's face was gloomy, and he was very dissatisfied when he saw the princess.

The princess looked very calm.

If you don't send it, you won't send it, but it is necessary to send it to Sanbeile Mansion tomorrow to say something.

The prince's face was dark, and he already had a balance in his heart.

If you really slap your face like that, your relationship with Tong's family will be torn apart, and it will be cheaper for other elder brothers.

"Is the princess's temper getting bigger and bigger, and I can't even blame you?"

The prince looked at the princess and did not hide his dislike.

The Crown Princess didn't want to say anything, she just looked at the key box on the Baibao Pavilion, and said: "If the master doesn't trust me as a housekeeper, just arrange someone else."

Instead of coming over and pointing fingers.

The prince was really annoyed, he got up "Teng", and strode out.

It is because there is no side Fujin in Yuqing Palace, and the Crown Princess dominates alone, so she should really be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him...

In any case, we must promote a side Fujin, otherwise the Crown Princess will become more and more domineering.

*
Four Baylor House, study room.

The fourth elder brother looked at the two folders in front of him, one was a post from Tong Zhai, and the other was a gift list from Sanbeile Mansion.

Now that Si Fujin is still in confinement, this gift list needs to be drawn up by Si elder brother himself.

He is hesitating whether to thicken it.

In terms of his relationship with Tong's family, it should be strengthened, but the courtesy of Sanbeile House comes first.

After thinking about it, he decided to take care of his elders and follow the crowd...

*
Two days passed in a hurry, and this day was September 25th, the day to greet the palace, and also the day for the Tong family to entertain guests.

On this day, there was one less carriage going to the imperial city at Beigongfang.

Because of the treatment of his face, Ba Fujin will not go to the palace for the next few months.

Under Brother Jiu's staring eyes, Shi Fujin still squeezed into Shu Shu's carriage.

She said with a little excitement: "Sister-in-law Jiu, my elder brother has arrived in Beijing and brought a lot of food, besides pickled apricots, wild jam, dried mushrooms and chive flowers..."

When Shu Shu heard the "pickled apricot", she felt her teeth crumbling.

When I had morning sickness last year, I ate a lot.

Right now, she is more concerned about Chive Flowers.

Thinking that there are sheep brought in from outside the village, the meat is more tender, Shu Shu said: "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to send two sheep over. You and the tenth brother come over, and we will eat hand-picked meat and grilled lamb chops..."

Shi Fujin immediately said: "The stewed rice is also delicious."

This is not the practice of Mongolia. Mongolia does not eat rice, and the staple food is mostly noodles and fruits.

It was Shu Shu who cooked mutton braised rice according to the Northwest method, and Shi Fujin fell in love with it after eating it.

The rice full of mutton soup is oily and crystal clear, with a meaty taste.

Shu Shu wanted to eat too. Thinking of the rice noodles in the afternoon, she lost her interest and said, "It's probably the swallow-winged rice..."

Why is this popular in the capital now? This is also expensive and looks decent.

When Shi Fujin heard this, the corners of his mouth drooped.

It's okay if you haven't eaten it, but three times is almost enough.

She rubbed her stomach and said, "No wonder bird's nest and shark's fin are not popular in Mongolia. People still prefer meat. Just try these."

Shu Shu said: "Then let's take a bite and eat it tomorrow."

She has already hesitated, whether to send someone to book two tables at Baiweiju, and deliver them to herself and the Tenth Prince's mansion at night.

But look at Shi Fujin's stature, don't disturb Shi Fujin's weight loss.

Shi Fujin was greedy, and said: "Then let's make another pot, mutton vermicelli, it's also delicious to soak pancakes in it?"

Shu Shu said: "You can order whatever you want. Tomorrow, I will ask the dining room to cook a full feast of mutton."

When Shi Fujin heard his heartbeat, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Can you fill blood sausage and meat sausage? It's not popular in Beijing, so I'm thinking about it."

The lamb intestines in the capital are more or less placed in the haggis soup.

After the lamb blood is cooked, stew the soup.

Hearing what Shi Fujin said, Shu Shu also wanted to eat sheep intestines, nodded and said: "Then ask someone to send two more sheep, fill more blood sausages, and give a portion to Ningshou Palace, so that the Queen Mother and the two concubines Try it too."

The last time I ate this was during the Northern Tour in 37.

Ten Fujin became interested, and remembered something, and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, our Abahai's sheep are no worse than those outside the mouth. To be honest, the meat is more tender. This year is too late, and next year the ministry will come to shift shifts." , let them bring some sheep too.”

Shu Shu thought about the distance from Aba Haibu to the capital, and it was okay.

She said: "Then I will order more at that time, and next year's ceremony at my natal family will include sheep."

Shi Fujin smiled and said, "Then I'll add sheep too."

The two sisters-in-law were talking and arrived at Shenwumen.

When they enter the palace, the two sisters-in-law will temporarily separate.

As usual, Shu Shu would have to take out her pocket watch to check the time, and wait here for the rendezvous of the Five Fortunes.

No need for today, because Concubine Yi gave orders first, and Wu Fujin went to confinement, and estimated that he would not enter the palace until the Empress Dowager's birthday.

She went to Yikun Palace alone.

Every time Pei Lan waited at the gate of the main hall, but today it was abnormal, waiting at the Yikun gate, his face became more serious.

Shu Shu looked wrong, but she didn't speak first, she just slowed down and looked at Pei Lan.

Peilan said in a low voice, "The mother-in-law who was on shift this morning came to pass the news that sister Xianglan passed away last night..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu asked in surprise, "Is it an emergency?"

Pei Lan said: "It was a premature birth, and the blood collapsed after giving birth to a child..."

Shu Shu listened, and couldn't help being afraid for a while.

I knew early on that childbirth was difficult, and both Xiaosong and Xiaotang's biological mothers were missing during childbirth, but that happened earlier, and they were people I had never met, which was different from what Xianglan knew.

Here at Xianglan, Concubine Yi also revealed that she wanted to arrange for Xianglan to work as an errand in the Prince's Mansion.

After a few years, when Xianglan gave birth to a child, she would enter the mansion to be a nanny, and teach the rules by Elder Brother and Gege, which was fine.

Shu Shu couldn't be happier.

Did not expect that fate.

Every time I see Concubine Yi, she always looks radiant and well-dressed.

Right now, Concubine Yi is a little listless, her eyes are a little red.

Inside and outside Yikun Palace, there was also a little more silence.

Neither the seventeenth elder brother nor the eighteenth elder brother are in front of me.

Shu Shu came forward to greet Ann.

Concubine Yi sighed, motioned Shu Shu to sit by the kang, and said: "I worked as an errand by my side when I was ten years old, and I have been with me for more than ten years, I really never thought it would end like this."

The deep palace is lonely, the master and servant get along day and night, and the love exceeds the flesh and blood.

Shu Shu didn't know how to comfort her, she just said: "I thought that before Niguzhu was enlightened, my aunt would be able to work as a servant in the mansion, but I never thought it would be like this."

Concubine Yi smiled wryly: "If I knew she was in danger, I would never let her out."

Shu Shu couldn't help worrying about Xiaochun.

too frightening.

Go back and tell me more, and you should be careful when you give birth for the first time.

Concubine Yi also thought of this, looked at Shu Shu and said: "Don't dare to think about it, I really dare not think about it, even thinking about it makes people afraid. Fortunately, you and your fifth sister-in-law are safe and sound."

Shu Shu also couldn't say what Xianglan Fubo said, just said: "My aunt is recruiting, is that man reliable? Are there any other elder relatives?"

There is no one in Xianglan's house, and the man who hired her is her cousin.

She has been a court lady for more than ten years, and later she is still the big girl next to the concubine, with a generous dowry.

Shu Shu is warm-hearted, afraid that the child will suffer. After all, there are stepmothers and stepfathers in this world, so I asked one more question.

After hearing this, Concubine Yi's eyes became even redder, and she said: "Xiang Lan's life is hard, the man is gone, so she got pregnant and gave birth prematurely..."

Only then did Shu Shu know why Concubine Yi showed her emotions, but Xianglan's situation was a bit miserable.

The children left behind become orphans.

Concubine Yi looked at Shu Shu, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I sent the lady in charge to take care of the child temporarily, but it's not a long-term solution, I want to entrust it to you..."

Shu Shu said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will send someone to pick it up today. There are many empty houses in the mansion, just arrange someone to take care of it. When I grow up, I will work beside Feng Sheng and the others..."

If Xianglan didn't die of uterine bleeding, when the child was older and went to work as a servant, the arrangement would probably be the same...

It's the end of the month, so ask for a monthly pass.
