My father-in-law is Kangxi

Since Ba Fujin said "going through the motions", he really wasn't fooling Ba Ge.

Elder Brother's birthday on the fifteenth day of the month, and Elder Brother's hundred days on the first five days of the twelfth lunar month, Babeizi Mansion followed the flow to prepare gifts.

Although Ba Fujin still didn't show up, the sisters-in-law also knew the reason, but no one questioned her.

In addition, no one made friends with her, and if she couldn't come out, she didn't have much influence on others.

Wubeile Mansion is different after all, Shu Shu and Brother Nine are not really guests, so they got up early and left early.

The two went directly to the main courtyard.

The protagonist of today's Hundred Days Banquet, wearing a red robe, is trying to turn over on the kang.

The little elder brother, Father Xiao, with almond-shaped eyes, looks pitiful and cute, and also looks like a small circle of Akdan.

It's just different from Akdan's picking people, the little elder brother is quiet and well-behaved, he doesn't pick people, he is a kid who loves to laugh, but his temper is like Fengsheng.

Brother Nine directly picked it up and said, "I also want to take my nephew home, he really looks like Akdan."

This is a direct nephew, not someone else's child. Brother Jiu feels that he understands what "Love House and Wu" is, and he thinks it is very cute, only a little bit worse than Feng Sheng and the others.

The fifth elder brother laughed beside him and said, "They all look like your mother..."

Shu Shu was at the side, and said to Wu Fujin: "When we go to the garden next year, the emperor's grandmother and empress will be able to see their grandson, so please be happy..."

Wu Fujin's eyes fell on the little elder brother, nodded and said: "It should have been hugged to thank you long ago, the emperor's grandmother and empress have rewarded things several times."

Since the little elder brother landed in August, Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace have visited him several times, not to mention that even the nanny and nurse next to the little elder brother are all arranged by Ningshou Palace.

The queen mother was thinking about her great-grandson, and Wu Fujin and fifth elder brother also wanted to take the child there as soon as possible, but they couldn't do anything recklessly.

This is the difference between inside and outside the palace.

Although they are grandparents, no one can bring children into the palace without an imperial decree.

After a while, the guests came one after another.

Shu Shu accompanied Wu Fujin to welcome and accompany the guests.

The little elder brother is the legitimate son of the fifth elder brother. If he stands still, he will be the heir of this branch. Therefore, in addition to the brothers, the Hundred Days Banquet also invited Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong, and the clan with the white flag.

The clans of Xiangbaiqi are basically the descendants of Prince Suwu Hauge, and now there is a Prince's Mansion, a Baylor Mansion, and several Duke Mansions.

As the emperor's grandson's family, he and his family were also guests of honor.

As for Guo Luoluo's family, no female relatives came over, because Guidan's Erniejin family was still ill.

He became seriously ill at the beginning of October, and it dragged on for two months. The fifth elder brother had already called the imperial doctor to see him, but he was just struggling.

In addition to these people, several Horqin princes Taiji who are on duty in the inner hall, who are acquainted with the fifth elder brother, also accepted the post.

There were outsiders, as well as the two elders, Prince Yu and Prince Gong Fujin, and the sisters-in-law were all quiet, listening to everyone's gossip.

When the female relatives get together, what they like to talk about most is the marriage of men and women.

At this time, everyone is talking about the draft in the spring of next year.

Girls waiting for drafts from other places have already arrived in Beijing one after another.

After the new year, the draft will begin.

The Fourth Elder Brother of Prince Yu's Mansion and the Fifth Elder Brother of Prince Gong's Mansion are married, waiting for the palace to propose marriage.

The most popular candidates in this year's show are the Fucha family, the daughter of the great scholar Ma Qi, the Zhaojia family, the daughter of the Minister of War Marhan, the Wusu family, the daughter of Zhu Duna, the servant of the Ministry of War, and Tong Jia, the daughter of the champion envoy Yingshu. Shi, Zhang Jiashi, the daughter of Zhang Haoshang, the general soldier.

These respectable Ge Ge were all picked and pulled around by others.

As for the girls in the second bedroom of Dong E's family, although they were honored by Sanfujin and Jiufujin, their fathers and grandparents were from ordinary backgrounds. Specifically speaking.

As for the prince Gege, according to the previous rules, he was selected from the Baoyi show girls, not from the Eight Banners show girls.

Seven Fujin sat above Shu Shu, seeing everyone's gossip, he also gossiped with Shu Shu: "In addition to the three princes, there is also a prince and a county king who want to choose Fujin..."

Shu Shu listened and thought of Prince Kang's Mansion.

Prince Kang is the "prince" that Qifujin said. As for the county king, he is no one else, but Mrs. Bo's nephew, the current Shuncheng county king.

The female relatives who can deal with them in the future are the three princes Fujin, the two princes, the county king Fujin, and the two eldest brothers Fujin who are in charge of the palace.

Shu Shu knew the candidates for the elder brother's step-wife, the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, and the remaining two high-status ones were the future cousins.

It should be the Wusu family, because Zhu Duna is from Zhenghongqi.

Marriage within the banner is also a common practice for the banner owners of each banner.

"Zhang Jiagege is the oldest, but is his status too low?" Qi Fujin continued.

This is to say that Zhijun Wang Jifu is the candidate for Jin.

At that time, it will not only be the county king Ji Fujin, but also the elder sisters-in-law of the princes Fujin, who will have to deal with them in the future.

Shu Shu said: "Fucha Gege has a high status, but he is young, only fourteen this year."

Qifujin nodded and said: "That's right, she's too young, it's not suitable."

Da Gege of Zhijun Prince's Mansion is thirteen this year, only one year behind Fucha Gege.

If Fucha Gege really wanted to be a stepmother, there was no way to raise a few stepchildren.

Thinking about the thirteenth elder brother's respectability in the past few years, Qi Fujin followed the retinue three or four times a year, and said in a low voice: "Mostly it refers to the thirteenth elder brother, but I don't know that the eighth master and the thirteenth elder brother are brothers. With a brother-in-law, how will we get along in the future..."

Shu Shu didn't answer, thinking about Elder Brother Twelve in her mind.

Fucha Gege is the Twelve Fortunes of the future.

With the taciturn habit of the twelfth elder brother, most of them are still the same as before, and will not talk to the eighth elder brother.

It is a coincidence that Noble Wan Liuha, the biological mother of Twelve Elder Brothers, lives with her in the Changchun Palace now, and the main seat is Liang Concubine.

The ninth elder brother mentioned it once, the eighth elder brother had shown his love to the twelfth elder brother, but the twelfth elder brother did not take over.

After finishing the hundred-day wine at Wubeile Mansion, Shu Shu asked Bai Guo to prepare a birthday gift for Elder Brother Twelve.

Brother Twelve is born on the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Here in the prince's mansion, a new set of clothes, birthday peaches, birthday noodles, and four pairs of purses have been prepared.

Make up four gifts.

When the first fifteen elder brothers celebrated their birthdays, they also had similar gifts, that is, the portions of birthday peaches and birthday noodles were reduced, and the weight of the golden scorpion in the purse was also different.

The fifteenth elder brother is the younger elder brother, and the twelfth elder brother is already Cheng Ding's elder brother, and he is still working under the ninth elder brother.

Others don't know it, but Shu Shu knows it. Elder Brother Twelve has suffered a lot this year.

So the birthday gift she asked someone to prepare was very real.

The two pairs of purses contained a pair of gold safety cards and a pair of gold safety buckles, and the remaining two pairs of purses contained directly golden melon seeds.

In this way, it is convenient to save for yourself and reward others.

Brother Twelve received the gift, saw the gold in the purse clearly, and fell into a tangle.

These four pairs of purses add up to 16 taels of gold, which is 160 taels of silver.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, it's time to give New Year's gifts.

In addition to relatives, there is also the "three festivals and two longevity" in the officialdom.

Brother Twelve was thinking about how he would prepare for the annual ceremony of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Over the past year, he has been eating and drinking along with him, and he is not in the nature of taking advantage.

It's just how to send it, he can't make up his mind.

He is the only one walking in the House of Internal Affairs, and there is no reference.

He asked Madam Su Ma in private.

Madam Su Ma is 89 years old, but she is not deaf, not blind, and looks hale and hearty.

She listened to Elder Twelve's words, shook her head and said: "Other people give gifts, and those who give gifts are Shangguan, you don't have to follow, that's your brother, wait until the little elder brothers 'catch the week' in February, you should make good preparations." Just a gift."

This is how the bonds between people come about.

It doesn't mean that if you collect 16 taels of gold today, you will have to return it tomorrow.

Elder Brother Twelve has no brothers from the same mother, nor does he have close brothers in the royal family.

Mammy Su Ma knew his temperament and didn't urge him.

Now that he has a brother and sister-in-law who likes to be close, Mammy Su also mentioned some long-term ways for him to communicate with relatives.

All the princes in the palace grew up under her watch.

Brother Nine is soft-hearted, sincere and a good brother.

Elder Brother Twelve has always listened to Madam Su Ma's teachings, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll listen to my aunt, don't prepare the annual ceremony, but prepare for next year's 'Zhou Zhou' ceremony..."

The Ninth Prince's Mansion, the main house.

Apart from Bai Guo, Shu Shu also has Xiao Song.

Shangfang also recruited two maids, one named Shuangyue and the other named Layue, but right now they can only help Baiguo.

Xiao Song was arrested to keep accounts.

One is a booklet for receiving gifts, and the other is a booklet for giving gifts.

Among the three festivals and two longevity in the officialdom, the annual ceremony is the most important by default.

The same is true for relatives, and the annual ceremony is more important than other rituals.

The gifts given by the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are similar to those of last year, and there is no obvious change.

In Jiangning Weaving Cao Yin's New Year gift, besides various Ning silks, Ning satins and silver seals, there were also four kinds of children's toys from Jiangnan and four bolts of fine cloth from Songjiang.

This looks more attentive than last year.

Shu Shu asked Bai Guo to count and put it in the warehouse, and then ordered Xiao Song to write it down.

There are not many things, but there is a sense of intimacy and goodwill.

When Brother Nine came back, Shu Shu showed him this and said, "Is it because of Cao Shun? Or is it because of Cao Gege?"

Cao Shun is currently the third-class bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion. He was Cao Yin's heir. Later, after Cao Yin had his own son, Cao Shun, the nephew, returned to the clan.

As for Cao Gege, right now he is studying with Fifteen Gege and raised in the palace.

Life in the palace is good or bad, it is the same if someone takes care of it and no one takes care of it.

Brother Nine, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, can be considered to be in charge now.

Brother Jiu looked at the extras, curled his lips and said, "Master Cao is a bit stingy..."

Shu Shu said: "It's good not to be eye-catching, but if there are too many, it will be hot to handle."

Brother Jiu took out a gift list from his sleeve, handed it to Shu Shu and said, "Look, what is this, palm your eyes carefully..."

It turns out that Ji Hong, the son of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, has entered Beijing. Today he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This is the annual gift list for Brother Jiu...
