My father-in-law is Kangxi

The next day came, March 28th, the day when Jiu Baylor Mansion entertained guests.

Compared with the previous guests from Tiancheng County Prince's Mansion, many of today's guests are the same.

For example, if the three families of Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion and Prince Zhuang's Mansion are all uncles and cousins, they cannot submit posts according to the color of the flag.

Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion and Prince Shuncheng's Mansion have long had friendly relations with this place.

There was no reason to move before, but now I stopped moving.

On the other hand, Anjun Prince's Mansion and Xinjun Prince's Mansion, together with Prince Anjun's two Duke's brothers, as well as a group of Zhenglan Banner's Duke's Mansion and General's Mansion, all moved around for the first time today.

Compared with the previous warm pot banquets at the Prince's Mansion, today was a serious treat, and the number of guests increased several times.

However, they had just witnessed the banquet at Chengjun Prince's Mansion. Shu Shu and Jiu Age and his wife made up for the missing items, and set up the card table in the main room.

It's hard to do this in the future, there are too many foreigners, and gambling is prohibited in the "Qing Law".

Brother Jiu asked people to clear out two open spaces in the yard.

On one side is a hoop, with gadgets for everyone to kill time; on the other side is a target, but this is not a common Manchu target, but like a door frame, with a few coins hanging on it. , there are also some small gadgets placed next to it, such as ink jade thumb rings, tortoise shell thumb rings, etc. There is also a notice board next to it. What will be obtained if five arrows are hit, what will be obtained if four arrows, three arrows, etc., and what will be obtained if two arrows are hit or less. nor.

Shu Shu and Brother Jiu tried it this morning, and Shu Shu hit two out of five.

This not only depends on the head, but also on the skill.

So Shu Shu's first three arrows all failed.

As for Brother Ninth, he shot from behind, and he hit one out of five shots.

In the morning, the eleventh elder brother and his wife and the fifth elder brother and his wife came over.

This is because there are so many guests that Jiu Age and his wife will be too busy, so they help to entertain the guests.

By the time Sichu arrived, Sifujin also arrived.

They are all close relatives and there is nothing to be polite about.

Shu Shu said: "The fourth sister-in-law helps me greet some elders from the palace, the fifth sister-in-law helps me greet some of my parents' family, and the tenth sister-in-law helps me greet some other sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters. There are many strangers from Zhenglan Banner here today. I guess you need me to accompany you more. After today's busy day, I'll invite you to a table later to thank my two sisters-in-law and younger siblings."

Si Fujin nodded and said, "Just greet the guests. The elders are considerate and won't pick on your gifts."

Wufu Jin also said: "I'm here to help too, why are you so polite?"

Shi Fujin clasped his fingers and said: "The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law don't need to be taken care of by me. The seventh sister-in-law is not here today. I will take good care of the twelfth and thirteenth younger siblings, and I will also greet Fucha and Fujin..."

Si Fujin thought more carefully and said: "When the guests arrive, they will have to see a few children. When the time comes, you have to wipe your face and carry them out for everyone to take a look and then take them down."

Mainly because the women's family members were together, the room was filled with the smell of powder and hair oil, which made everyone panic, and everyone was worried about being sick or something.

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, when the time comes, I will greet the elders and ask them to be carried down."

There is also an advantage to having many guests. There are only a few people who are qualified to speak, and most of the others are honest.

In the past few years since Shu Shu married into the royal family, she has been generous and considerate to her elders and female relatives. She has gained good popularity and no one will deliberately make things difficult for her...

*

In the front yard, the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother discovered the traps and targets set up in the yard. Before the guests started to get on, the two brothers tried it next to each other.

The ferrule is made of bamboo, which has excellent toughness and makes it easy for ornaments to bounce when it is trapped in it.

Not to mention five dollars. The thread hanging above is made of silk thread and is light and fluttering.

The fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were both good at archery, but each of them shot three times, and only the tenth elder brother had three hits.

When the two of them lowered their bows, they started praising Ninth Prince.

The fifth elder brother said: "Yes, it looks lively, but it is not easy to get above the third grade, otherwise all the good things will be lost. The worst is the sapphire finger ring, which is worth a lot of money."

Although the fifth elder brother is generous, he is worried that his younger brother will lose his family.

The tenth elder brother also said: "It's good to have these two pastimes. The elders can have tea and talk in the house, and other people don't have to accompany them."

As for the prizes for this hoop and archery, there are still many provided by him.

After all, Western items are popular right now, so the best thing about the ferrule is a two-hanging gold pocket watch.

While the brothers were talking, there was movement at the door.

It was Brother San and San Fujin who arrived.

After hearing this, the ninth elder brother hurriedly told He Yuzhu and went out with the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

The couple came by car.

When the carriage stopped, Shu Shu also got the news and came out to greet him.

The third elder brother got off the carriage, and then helped San Fujin down.

Seeing that the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were there, he was not surprised and said: "I just thought you would come early..."

Brother Jiu looked at the sun and was surprised that the couple had arrived so early.

The third elder brother has already explained himself: "We are brothers and brothers-in-law, not outsiders. We will come here earlier to help you entertain your uncles and elders..."

Speaking of this, he said with a bit of gossip: "Has Prince Xinjun's mansion replied to the post? Prince Xinjun hasn't gone out much in the past two years, and he has a son and everything is enough!"

Prince Xinjun had only one concubine at first, and in the twelfth month of the thirty-ninth year he had a concubine.

You know, Prince Xinjun is also a man who is running for fifty, so getting this bastard is very valuable. Prince Zhuang has been depressed in recent years, and this is also the reason.

Also lacking a son, King Xinjun gave birth to several children one after another, but they all died. He left a concubine and a grandson, and when he was old, he added another son.

As for the concubine, his background was too humble.

The father was the daughter of Prince Xin's concubine. He had no heel. He was a maid bought by Fujin's natal family. At that time, he had not yet been awarded the title, so he was only awarded the title of third-class Fengguo general.

As a result, the eldest son of the concubine died before the wedding, and the girl who married him left behind such a concubine and grandson.

This is why Prince Xin clearly has a grandson before, but his uncles and cousins ​​are still eyeing the title of Prince Xin.

The title of Prince Xin comes from his grandfather. This title belongs to the public, not just to his family.

Now that I have this son, things are different. As long as I survive these few years and stand up, I will be the legitimate heir.

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I'm back. Prince Xin is not in good health, so he won't come over."

It’s not obtrusive either.

Since he was exempted from the imperial decree and was reprimanded, Prince Xin has rarely gone out to socialize, and only shows up for important weddings and funerals in various princes' palaces.

Following the third elder brother and his wife were the twelfth elder brother and his wife and the thirteenth elder brother and his wife.

When they came out of the palace, they set their own departure time, so they went as early as possible rather than late.

Next, there is the Dong E family and the Yiqian Guogong Mansion of Zhenglan Banner.

Shu Shu's age is here, so he can't take care of strangers like Zhenglan Banner, so he just welcomes the guests from the front.

Fortunately, I was wearing flat flag shoes, otherwise I would have walked thousands of steps.

Many of the Zhenglan Banner clan members were frequent visitors to Babele Mansion and were familiar with this area. They were respectful to Prince Fujin, and they seemed to be quite familiar with Fujin when they saw him.

When Shu Shu saw this, she privately mentioned it to Fucha Fujin and asked her to help greet Zhenglan Qi and other clan members.

This is the best of both worlds, and Fucha and Fujin naturally responded.

Here, most of the female relatives are regular customers, so the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.

San Fujin did not regard herself as an outsider. Needless to say, Shu Shu felt that she was acting like an eldest sister-in-law. The whole room could hear her joking with the elders.

Seeing this, Si Fujin couldn't help but look at Da Fujin.

Dafu Jin was calm and composed, talking to the sisters-in-law of Prince An.

Shu Shu, the master, wishes he could listen in all directions and see in all directions.

Fortunately, the sisters-in-law were all on good terms with each other, and each helped greet them, which seemed to be in an orderly manner.

When everyone was almost at peace, Prince Fujin and Prince Fujin also asked about the children, Shu Shu asked people to bring Feng Sheng and his three siblings over to pay their respects to the elders.

Almost all of them were elders. They knew that there were three treasures here, so they all prepared gifts.

There was a royal stepmother who was in her thirties, but she was the aunt of Prince Xin. She was the cousin of the princes and the great-grandmother of Feng Sheng and them.

Shu Shu had a hard time remembering these strangers, let alone Fengsheng them.

The three children pretend to be three years old, but are actually only two years old, which is the most painful time.

The elders all loved being picked up by the nanny.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about last year’s arrest of Zhou. Prince Zhuang Fujin heard Prince Yu Fujin mention it several times to Prince Gong Fujin.

I know that these three children are not only well-raised, but also filial.

Prince Zhuang Fujin was not polite and hugged Ni Guzhu without letting go, saying: "I have never seen such a strong and happy boy..."

She herself was childless and had raised a concubine in her early years, but no matter how nice she was, it was of no use. After meeting her biological mother twice in private, she was no longer familiar with raising her.

I am used to hearing about Niguzhu "catching Zhou". Who among the elderly doesn't like such a child?

Besides, both Brother Ninth and Shu Shu have a reputation for being filial.

Both parents have this kind of personality, so it's not unusual for their children to behave this way.

For an old lady like Zhuang Prince Fujin, who has been rich and prosperous all her life, it is not important whether her children are successful or not, but filial piety is the most difficult thing.

Ni Guzhu had never been afraid of strangers. When she smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood on Prince Zhuang Fujin's body, she felt that she was one of her own. She hugged Prince Zhuang Fujin's neck and pressed close to her, and said with a milky voice: "Mama smells so good... …”

She had a better memory. Although her eyes fell on Prince Zhuang Fujin's ruby ​​earrings, she didn't reach out to reach them. She just took a second look.

Prince Zhuang Fujin hugged the little chubby girl, his heart trembled, his eyes were red, he touched Ni Guzhu's back and said: "Good boy, you smell good too..."

Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin felt uncomfortable when they saw this.

Now the husband is honored and the wife is honored, what will happen in the future?

Prince Zhuang Fujin is just fine here. It seems to be easier than others, because there is no bastard. If you want to have an heir in the future, you can only be respectful to the mother, otherwise Prince Zhuang Fujin is qualified to change the heir.

Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin each have their own dissatisfaction here.

Ni Guzhu likes to be praised by others. He is so happy when he hears "cluck" that his saliva comes out.

Prince Zhuang Fujin didn't mind it being dirty, so he took out his handkerchief, wiped it carefully for Ni Guzhu, straightened her scarf, and urged Shu Shu: "Okay, there are many people here and there is a lot of noise. Don't scare the child." , send it back quickly..."
