Brother Jiu stayed up for another hour in the afternoon before Shen Chu left the palace.

When they arrived at the mansion, Brother Jiu mentioned Fu Song to Shu Shu, and said: "It's a coincidence that the day to go to Nanyuan is a bit coincidental. Khan Ama will soon patrol the Yongding River, and he will take a few days to go around, just for hunting. Take it easy, time is a little too short."

Shu Shu calculated the time in her mind, and it would take four months from the time when the Ministry of Criminal Justice appointed her after the Mid-Autumn Festival to now.

Each cycle lasts from ten to half a month, and there should be more rounds of vaccinia experiments now.

"It should be the result. It's probably not bad, so the emperor will want to go and see it in person."

Shu Shu said, "I guess the next step is to promote it on a small scale."

Brother Nine shook his head and said: "It's not easy, if you catch up with the pox year, it's fine, there is a pox epidemic threat, and the people who can afford the money will rush to get the pox first, but if you don't catch up with the pox year, well, who is willing to vaccinate? Most of them will be lucky."

Shu Shu nodded, so it was already the 90s of the [-]th century to vaccinate the whole population and eradicate smallpox.

Brother Nine said: "No matter what, if the result comes out, I hope Fu Song can get out of it. It's not a good thing to have such an errand for a long time."

He thinks more now, and is no longer simply happy for Fu Song's name in front of the imperial court.

After listening to Shu Shu, she also felt that this kind of secret errand was enough once, and if she did it again, she would probably be transferred to Luan Yiwei for a temporary position.

Anyway, everyone was relieved that Sheng Jia was not in Beijing.

Not only Brother Nine feels that it is better to be idle every day, but even with the princes Fujin.

On the day Sheng Jia left Beijing, the Ten Fortunes sent a message to the sisters-in-law and Jiugege to invite guests to the Prince's Mansion for dinner on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year.

It just so happens that it is more convenient for everyone to come out after entering the palace to pay their respects, and go directly there.

There must always be a reason for such a banquet.

Here in the Tenth Prince's Mansion, it became a feast of appreciating treasures.

It happened that Jiangnan had just arrived with a batch of foreign goods before the canal was frozen, and the official sale had not yet started.

Ten Fujin picked out some western jewelry, perfume, and clothing materials that women like, and asked someone to transport them back to the Prince's Mansion for everyone to see.

The last time the tenth prince's mansion had a "burning pot banquet", this year, it only invited such a guest, and the sisters-in-law had already said hello, so everyone agreed to come.

It happened that most of the princes were not in Beijing, and everyone wanted to come out and relax for a long time.

It was the first time for the ten blessings to treat guests, and they were more serious.

So on the ninth day of the lunar new year, when Brother Jiu went out, Shu Shu ushered in the Ten Fortunes.

Ten Fujin came to seek help from Shu Shu.

"Sister-in-law, let's just call it Bazhen Banquet in the restaurant. What about the rest? Do you want to open a card table? Shall I prepare some coins for everyone?"

Shu Shu thought about who would come, Sanfujin, Sifujin, Wufujin, Qifujin, herself and Jiugege.

With the proprietor Ten Fujin, seven people, two tables of cards are not enough.

But you can also open a table to pass the time.

Women don't drink, half an hour is enough to eat.

If you look at something, you can finish it in half an hour.

You can't leave after eating and watching. You always have to find something to kill time.

"Let's open a table, the sister-in-law who doesn't like to talk can play cards, so as not to sit around..."

Shu Shu thought about it, paused, and said: "Even if you have obtained rare things, no matter whether the palace lacks them or not, you should pay tribute to them. Perfume, snuff, etc., the brothers and sisters will watch and prepare some delicate ones for the queen mother and mother. The imperial concubine, the crown prince sent some..."

When ten Fujin enters and exits the palace, he still has to be watched over by several people.

Shi Fujin hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's still a while before the New Year's gift, should I give it once now, and then again at the New Year's gift?"

Shu Shu said: "It's not surprising that there are many people presenting the ceremony. This time, you don't need to give too much or too expensive. If you think about it, it's worth mentioning the matter of treating guests in front of the elders."

Ten Fujin wrote down, and said, "What about Yuqian? Would you like to send me a copy?"

Shu Shu thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need for now, Sheng Jia is not in Beijing either, and I will let my tenth brother decide whether or not I will see you off in the future."

Ninth elder brother can get close to Yuqian and become a "beloved son"; if tenth elder brother does the same, it may be counterproductive.

It's better to be still than to move.

Shi Fujin nodded, and said, "Mmm, um, I'll listen to Master Shi when the time comes..."

She has actually seen it. When Jiusao thinks it's okay, she will tell her directly; if Jiusao thinks it's inappropriate, she asks Brother Ten.

Therefore, she also had a count in her heart.

In the palace, you can get close to the empress dowager, the concubine, and the concubine, but the imperial court is spared.

Thinking about it, apart from the Longevity Festival and annual rituals stipulated every year, they really did not pay tribute to the imperial court.

Nanyuan paddock, the first parade starts today.

Because there are four paddocks, they are divided into four places.

Except for the one surrounded by Kangxi himself, the other three are surrounded by the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother.

The eldest elder brother went to be the assistant of the fourteenth elder brother, the third elder brother went to the thirteenth elder brother's place, the fifth elder brother went to the tenth elder brother's place, and the fourth and eighth elder brothers stayed beside the holy driver.

In the paddock, with the sound of neighing, the herd of deer was driven into the middle.

The encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and at the end, they are in the encirclement of the team.

Kangxi drew his bow and took the first shot, aiming at the stag, the leader of the herd.

It hit the neck of the stag, and with a desperate cry, the stag fell to the ground, causing a commotion among the deer herd.

The princes, guards, and guards who followed the siege all raised their arms and shouted, and began to shoot and hunt.

The fourth elder brother and the eighth elder brother followed around Sheng Jia.

Both of them held the bow, but did not control the string.

Kangxi glanced at the two of them, fixed his eyes on the fourth elder brother's bow, and then moved away.

The fourth elder brother's face turned red immediately.

He pursed his lips and watched the crowd shoot into the herd of deer.

His position was a little far away from the herd of deer, and he couldn't guarantee a sure shot, so he didn't draw the bow.

Kangxi's eyes fell on the eighth elder brother again, and the eighth elder brother showed pity on his face.

Following the line of sight of the eighth elder brother, it turned out that not far ahead was a doe that had been shot by several arrows, screaming "Yo Yo", but did not fall to the ground. tall fawn.

The eighth elder brother couldn't bear it, so he didn't shoot the arrow.

Kangxi's expression remained unchanged, but disgust was born in his heart.

Such pretentiousness is really passed down in the same vein as his mother...

*
In the adjacent paddock to the west, it is the place surrounded by the palm of the ten princes.

After shooting the first arrow, Elder Brother Ten reined in his horse and did not approach.

Those who followed began to fire in salvo.

Fifth elder brother did not move.

The two brothers withdrew from the hunting circle and spoke from behind.

It's not a competition, and there is no reward, so Elder Brother Ten doesn't compete in this.

Or just come out alone, he is not at ease with Brother Nine not by his side, and he is a little less interested.

The fifth elder brother said: "I bought a few milk-producing does from the paddock manager, do you want to share them with you?"

Brother Ten shook his head and said, "Thank you Fifth Brother, no need, just prepare for Ninth Brother's share."

The fifth elder brother was not polite to him, but thought that the tenth elder brother had been married for two years, and the ten Fujin hadn't moved yet, so he became a little enthusiastic and said, "Let's go to Hongluo Temple. After two days of hard work on the road, we can eat some food later." Two days of fasting, a few days of quietness, sincerity is achieved, and the Buddha will bless the child and come..."

The main thing is to be quiet and recharge your batteries.

Elder Brother Shi nodded and said, "Thank you Fifth Brother, my younger brother plans to go back and visit Hongluo Temple."

Fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Okay, don't delay, there is a big gap with Fengsheng and the others, and it will not be the same in the future."

Brother Ten smiled, he thought so too...

"Hooho..."

In Brother Fourteen's paddock, the atmosphere is much warmer.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

The fourteenth brother took the lead, sprinting at the forefront, and the bow in his hand never stopped.

A barrel of arrows shot cleanly.

The fourteenth elder brother still wanted to touch the second quiver, but the elder brother next to him stretched out his hand and picked the quiver off his horse's back.

The fourteenth elder brother looked at the eldest elder brother and asked in surprise, "Elder brother?"

This is out of arrows, I want to grab my own!
Eldest brother frowned and said, "The six-power bow you used shot fourteen arrows in a row, do you want your arm?"

Brother Fourteen also felt that something was wrong with his shoulders.

He sneered and said, "Then brother, take it easy and continue later?"

The elder brother shook his head firmly and said: "That's it for today, there are two days left tomorrow, what's the rush?"

The fourteenth elder brother drooped at the corner of his mouth, but he also knew that the eldest elder brother had good intentions.

He couldn't help but blame Kangxi in his heart.

It is said that they asked some of their little elder brothers to hold the flag and march around, but in the end, an elder brother was arranged beside them, what is this called?
Why didn't the eldest brother learn well?
In the past, they taught people, but now they start to manage people!

Unhappy, he still opened his mouth and said, "When eldest brother was thirteen, Xingwei only shot one arrow?"

The elder brother waved his hand and said, "Two barrels!"

Elder Fourteen's eyes widened and he wanted to speak.

Eldest brother already said: "At that time I had already drawn the eight-strength bow, and I was two inches taller than you are now..."

The fourteenth elder brother took the bow and said: "After two years, I will become a young man, and I will be designated as a ten-strength bow. Big brother, don't be so old that I can't pull the ten-strength bow?"

The eldest elder brother took the whip and tapped the fourteenth elder brother: "When you are an adult, if you still talk like this, I will beat you with a whip!"

The fourteenth elder brother was not afraid, and said: "Hmph! Big brother is just bragging, now the brothers above are all grown up, and I haven't seen who you are doing, big brother?"

The elder brother laughed and scolded: "No one else talks like you!"

Elder Fourteen quit, and said: "Isn't there still Brother Nine? My younger brother likes to tell the truth here, which is not very nice. Isn't Brother Ninth the same?"

The elder brother said: "Okay, when he commits this problem again, I will also smoke..."

Brother Fourteen: "..."

That's not what he meant, as if he was forcing his elder brother to beat someone.

What did he say?

Big brother doesn't like to listen?
Isn't it just an "old" word?
I don't mean to say that my eldest brother will be thirty next year, and he can call himself an "old man".

Is this the case with older people?

Afraid of getting old?
Elder Fourteen rolled his eyes wildly, looking in the direction of Sheng Jia.

What about Khan Ama?
I'm twenty years older than my eldest brother, so don't you hear the word "old"?

Today is hot and humid, the air conditioner is turned down, and then I have a cervical spondylosis. The more critical the situation, the more I burst into tears.

There will be two updates today, and there will be no more at 0 o'clock. I will work hard tomorrow and ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.
