My father-in-law is Kangxi

Today's New Year's Eve, everyone is busy, and after leaving the Shenwumen, they will separate.

Ba Fujin thought that everyone was in twos and threes, and each had their own close relatives, so he got into Si Fujin's carriage, just in time to ask about the hot springs in Sibeile Mansion.

Their family bought land early, and this year they have asked people to build a house.

Ten Fujin went to the inner hall to visit Taiji, and sent Danshen and Gastrodia elata by the way.

Shu Shu went home alone.

It happened that the steward of Xiaotangshan Bieyuan came to deliver food, so she met him.

A total of two carts of vegetables were sent into the city today. According to Brother Jiu's first order, the palace sent an extra fifty catties, making it 150 catties, and the remaining fifty catties were sent to the Prince's Mansion.

A few days ago, as a gift for the New Year, I sent Dongzi dishes to every family, but today Shu Shu didn't ask anyone to give them any more.

They are all preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and each family's New Year's Eve dishes are prepared similarly, so there is no need to add more things to the snake.

"When will it be available?"

Shu Shu asked.

Some vegetables are cropped one by one, such as leeks, beans, and eggplants, and some are replanted, such as Chinese cabbage and small water radishes.

The steward thought about it, and said, "Including the bok choy and celery that will be harvested next year, it can be supplied until the end of March."

Shu Shu ordered Bai Guo to let go of the reward and told people to go down.

This is just right, in April, there are no vegetables on the market, but all kinds of wild vegetables are on the market, and there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.

Brother Nine was not here as usual this afternoon, and went directly to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the other princes and elder brothers to attend the foreign feudal banquet.

It just so happens that the dining room freezes dumplings today, with more than a dozen kinds of fillings, including pork sauerkraut, leek and shrimp, shepherd’s purse, chicken with mushrooms, pigeon meat with pickled vegetables, lamb and celery, beef and green onions, and Vegetarian leek eggs, vegetarian assorted and spinach vermicelli.

Shu Shu asked Xiaotang to cook family portrait dumplings, a few of each filling.

Eating alone was boring, so she asked Xiaosong and Xiaotang to eat with ginkgo.

Last year, I ate with Mrs. Uncle and Zhao Jiage.

This year Zhaojia caught a cold, fearing that he might get sick, so he didn't come to the main hospital.

Xiaotang didn't go home as usual, and because Baiguo couldn't do it, it would be a year later before she could go home on vacation.

Komatsu here, go home in the afternoon.

During the first month, they eat New Year's dishes and don't cook new dishes. Xiaotang will be free then, which is just right for Ginkgo to rest for a few days.

Bai Guo is the youngest and has the least seniority, so she sits next to her.

Xiaosong and Xiaotang are much more at ease.

Xiaosong is playing by Shu Shu's side, so he is different from the other three, and he thinks less, but he still has a heart like a child.

Xiaotang is much more stable, but after working in the dining room for a long time, he has the problem of not liking to eat. After eating a vegetarian assorted dumpling, he didn't make any more. He could only eat it with sesame sauce radish skin and coir raincoat cucumber.

Shu Shu looked at her and said, "Too thin, is it oily? In the back dining room, tell people more, don't stare at her, there is someone on the stove."

Xiaotang said: "For a while now, I have been making New Year's dishes after I was young. I watched the big fish and big meat all day long. I just tried the dishes and ate a lot, so I got a little bored. Clean the stomach and it will be fine."

After hearing this, Shu Shu instructed Xiaotang, "Make a cake of aged Pu'er, it's the best for removing oil and greasy, but you can't drink it on an empty stomach, so as not to hurt your stomach."

Xiaotang agreed, and said: "The servant opened a cake, wake up, and prepare it for Fujin and Master Jiu."

When the dining table was removed, Shu Shu ordered Bai Guo to pass the purse to Xiao Song.

"You go home in the afternoon, and you don't come back until the third year of junior high school. I'll give you the New Year's greetings tomorrow first."

Xiao Song accepted it, and said: "The slave will give Fujin New Year's greetings in advance today..."

As she spoke, she knelt down and kowtowed "bang bang bang".

By the time Shushu pulled her, she was done knocking.

Shu Shu gave her a white look, and said, "Why are you kneeling properly?"

Even between master and servant, there are not many times when kneeling is required.

Xiaosong said: "The slave, Ama, said, let the slave be grateful, and remember to repay Fujin, the slave can't think of how to repay for a while, so let's talk about it first."

Hearing these words, Shu Shu felt sad.

Xiaosong is nineteen years old, even if he procrastinates, he is not too young.

Even if Montenegro wants to keep their daughter for two more years, they still have to consider the world situation.

This year when Xiaosong goes home for the New Year, Heishan should mention Xiaosong's marriage to Chunlin.

Xiao Song was still in a state of confusion, unable to understand the meaning of Hei Shan's order.

Shu Shu looked at Xiaotang, the four people who grew up together since childhood, only Xiaotang will be left in the future.

But Xiaotang is loyal, Xiaochun and Hetao have gone out one after another, and Ginkgo is young and inexperienced, so she thinks more.

"Fujin, among the two girls beside Zhaojia Gege, there is an older girl who will be twenty in the next year, should she also be released?"

When the time comes, prepare the little girl and go over to replace her.

The batch of little girls who entered the mansion last year were all coated maids, so we must prevent them from hooking up with Zhao Jia.

Master and servant for more than ten years, have long had a tacit understanding.

Listening to Xiaotang's words, Shu Shu knew what she meant, looked at Bai Guo and said, "Among the little girls who came in later, except for the two who stayed in the main room, what about the others?"

Bai Guo said: "There are two good needleworkers who work with Sister Peanut; two younger ones who are in Ning'an Hall, and two more stable ones who work with Nanny Xing, and two senior ones. It belongs to the eldest sister, learn the rules from Nanny Qi."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then pick one of the two from the sewing room and go there. There are dedicated needleworkers, and it's not good for a little girl to keep doing this, her eyes are burnt out."

In the evening, Ningshou Palace, Yikun Palace, and Dutong Mansion all came to present the New Year's Eve plates.

Shu Shu also sent a set to Dutong Mansion, and another set to Xikuayuan.

Brother Jiu just came back after entering the shift, reeking of alcohol, looking slightly tipsy.

The dining room had prepared hangover soup early on, Brother Jiu drank it, and asked someone to prepare a bathtub, took a bath, and even washed his hair, so he felt more comfortable.

"Last year, I just made up the numbers. Following the elder brothers toasted the prince and Taiji, this year, my grandfather became the one to be toasted..."

Although he didn't drink a few cups, he still smelled of alcohol.

Although it is more valued than last year, it is clear that Brother Nine does not appreciate it.

"Hmph! One by one daydreaming, thinking about Niguzhu's coming, it's really giving them face! Not to mention Niguzhu, we are planning to marry Baqi for grace, even if we don't marry Baqi, we must marry Mongolia, we will only marry Choose from among the Mongolian children who stay in Beijing as errands, who will marry thousands of miles away?"

Just mentioning this, Brother Jiu became angry and said: "I don't even take care of their big pancake faces. They want to be tall but not tall, and they want to have no good looks. It would be ugly to give birth to a cub to designate!"

Shu Shu listened, feeling uncomfortable.

It's not a bad thing for a family of women to ask for hundreds of families, but it depends on when.

If Niguzhu is really going to be married, it's time to find her a husband's family, and the one who comes together is not so hateful; but Niguzhu is not yet one year old, and what he is thinking about at this time is not because of the reputation of "auspiciousness". It's for Brother Jiu's money.

Now everyone inside and outside the capital knows that Brother Jiu is not short of money and is a rich man.

Brother Nine began to worry, and said: "No, let's look ahead, pay attention first, and ask Han Ama for grace in advance, otherwise people will miss it if you don't keep it. I don't like it."

Shu Shu said: "Well, listen to me, I'm not happy either."

If the daughter-in-law is not appropriate, it's fine, there is room for discipline.

If this son-in-law is really from a foreign vassal, just look at Kangxi's attitude towards Princess Duanjing's lawsuit with her son-in-law, and you will know that it is difficult for his parents to intervene, and he will be more or less embarrassing.

Brother Jiu thought for a while about the people he knew, and said helplessly: "There is no suitable one, let's look at it, if it doesn't work, wait until the flag is lowered, and choose among the disciples of the flag."

With such an extra layer of master-servant status, the elders of the son-in-law's family will not dare to entrust him with it.

Shu Shu also thinks this is good.

Anyway, no matter who you marry, you are marrying under, so choose a submissive family.

Shu Shu peeled off half of the grapefruit, this was used to detoxify the oil, and gave a piece to Brother Jiu.

Brother Nine doesn't like hardship, but he frowned, and after he finished eating, he was picky and said: "The other fruits can be ripened on the tree. This fruit tree is too big to be transported to the north. It is not sweet to eat. Last year we Eat it in the south of the Yangtze River, although it has lost a lot of moisture, it is still sweeter than this."

Shu Shu said: "My master wants to eat ripe ones, so I have to go to Guangzhou."

Thinking that Guangzhou is now a customs office with many merchant ships moored, Shu Shu thought of durian.

It's a pity that durian is a Nanyang fruit at present, which is hard to come by.

This kind of fresh fruit is perishable and takes up space, so few merchants will traffic it.

The merchant ships from Nanyang still mainly use spices and gems.

Brother Jiu said with anticipation: "Ama Khan has often visited the north in recent years. He has toured the east twice or three times and toured the south three times. It will be fine to go to other places when the time comes. Grandpa will take you with him in a shameless manner, let's just go out by ourselves, it's more troublesome than being at home."

After hearing this, Shu Shu took it for granted.

Walking with the holy driver team, although a little less freedom, but really worry-free.

Like Brother Nine, she was very moved.

It seems that there are three more southern tours.

As for other places?

Outside the Great Wall, Yongding River, and Yeling, this happens almost every year.

Huh?
It seems that there is another tour to the west. Those who went to Xi'an should have not been there, otherwise Brother Jiu would mention this.

There is also the one who went to Wutai Mountain, Brother Jiu didn't mention it, that means he hasn't been there yet...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

The night banquet for the concubines and concubines who were keeping the year old had not yet started, and Kangxi sobered up in Xinuange.

He also drank two more cups at the foreign feudal banquet today.

Thinking about the bonsai that had been handed down one after another in the past few days, he looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "How many pots are left? What are you left with?"

Liang Jiugong did the calculations in his mind.

The Empress Dowager got a pot of chrysanthemum bonsai.

Concubine Hui is a camellia.

Empress Yifei is a hibiscus flower.

The concubine is a Narcissus.

Concubine Min Peach Blossom.

And concubine pomegranate flowers.

There are ten heads in the harem. He originally thought that apart from those who honor Ningshou Palace, there are eleven pots left. The emperor will share the rain and dew evenly.

He replied: "Your Majesty, there are still six pots left, which are orchids, roses, lotus, jasmine, osmanthus and wintersweet."

"Qiangwei..." Kangxi pondered, and said: "Reward the concubine Zhongcui... Jasmine, reward the nobleman..."
