My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1761 Accident
Although Shushu was also worried about the vaccination of the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince, it was different from worrying about Fengsheng and his sister.

The worst outcome is that Princess Seventeen cannot survive.

To be honest, the Ninth Prince and Shushu can totally bear this result.

It was not the couple who volunteered, and they are not the eldest brother or sister-in-law.

Whether it was the Seventeenth Princess or the Nineteenth Prince, it was not their responsibility.

They took good care of it, and the rest is up to God.

Even if there was a mistake, Kangxi's anger would only be temporary.

However, the couple was lucky. By October 13, Shushu's birthday, the Seventeenth Princess and the Nineteenth Prince had both become pregnant and their high fevers had subsided. All that was left was to wait for the scab to form and for revaccination.

Niguzhu's wound has almost healed and he can be replanted tomorrow.

Fengsheng was almost recovered, but Akdan looked a little listless because he had lost his appetite in the past few days.

That morning, all the subordinates and servants outside the main courtyard were outside the door to celebrate Shushu's birthday.

The servants in the main courtyard kowtowed directly in the yard.

Fengsheng and his sister also dressed up and kowtowed to Shushu to celebrate his birthday.

Shushu was seven months pregnant and had changed into looser clothes.

But compared to my last pregnancy, it’s still a lot easier.

In the main courtyard, a family of six prepared a banquet, and banquets were also sent to the west wing and Ning'an Hall.

When they sat down, Shushu, the birthday boy, took the main seat, with Lady Bo and Niguzhu on his left, and Prince Ninth, Fengsheng and Akdan on his right.

Niguzhu looked up and asked Mrs. Bo, "Ma, how much is twenty? Is it a lot?"

This is because today is Shushu’s 20th birthday.

Mrs. Bo said, "If you count all the little hands and feet, it's twenty, which is much more than three."

Niguzhu looked up and asked, "How old is Mama? Is she twenty?"

Mrs. Bo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Here we are, fifty-two, which is more than your father and your mother combined."

Niguzhu nodded and said, "That's quite a lot. I can't count them with my fingers and toes, and I have to add the ones from my eldest and second brothers."

Feng Sheng looked at Shu Shu and said, "Ene, why did we prepare gifts for you, and Mama and Mama also prepared gifts, but others did not prepare any, and still want to receive Ene's reward?"

Although the little guy was not yet educated, he was brought up by Fusong and learned from him that everyone in the family was raised by his father and mother.

This is a bit unhappy.

I feel that others are not caring enough for my parents by not preparing birthday gifts for them.

Shushu smiled and said, "Because you are Ene's family, you all care about Ene; the others are working for Ama and Ene, they work, Ama and Ene get paid, and nothing else is involved."

In fact, the subordinates of the Beile Mansion and several captains' families under the Ninth Prince still gave tributes according to the rule of "three festivals and two birthdays", and Shushu and the Ninth Prince would not be so unconventional as to refuse to accept them.

But most of them are social favors or rewards during the New Year, and then they are sent back.

After all, there is no place for them to get benefits from the Beile Mansion, so they should not make things difficult for each other.

As for other servants in charge, if I really wanted to accept their gifts, it would seem like I was being stingy with money, and it would also sound awkward if it were made public. There is no such rule.

Fengsheng seemed to understand, but when he saw that Shushu was not unhappy, he let the matter go.

Akdan looked at the Ninth Prince and said, "Father, Flying Dragon Soup..."

The Ninth Prince pointed to the middle of the table and said, "I've prepared it. I won't forget it."

This is because I remember Shushu liked to drink Feilong soup.

We ate there once at the beginning of the month, during the two days we had dinner together.

Half a month later, Akdan still remembers it clearly.

Shushu looked at her second son, and seeing him looking at her eagerly, she really wanted to hold him in her arms.

But then, she restrained herself.

They are all children, and we cannot give Akdan an exception just because he is a high-needs baby.

That would only make Akdan more dependent on himself, which would also be unfair to Fengsheng and Niguzhu.

Thinking of this, Shushu looked down at her bulging belly.

I was about to become the mother of four children, but this pregnancy was completely different from the last one.

Last time I poured all my attention and maternal love into them, but this time I am more concerned about my three babies.

Before, Shushu didn’t like the saying that both the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh. She thought that her parents’ favoritism was irrational and controllable.

Only when you become a mother do you realize that you can't help being biased.

For example, Shushu paid special attention to Akdan when he was a child because Akdan was weak.

Shushu didn't know whether it was because of her concern that Akdan became more dependent on her.

Mrs. Bo was very pleased when she looked at her three children.

Three years old look old.

Now we can see the general temperaments of the three siblings. Although they can be naughty at times, they are mostly filial and well-behaved.

Mrs. Bo was a little stunned.

Also raised in the Dong E family, Xizhu has always looked down at people since he was a child and rarely looks up.

Even though he was born out of wedlock, he was the only son and behaved in a petty manner.

Is he a child of the Xing family?

Why don’t the brothers Xing Hai and Xing Jiang have such habits?
If he were the uncle's child, he would not have the character of the Dong E family's children at all.

Shushu was sitting next to Madam Bo, and seeing that she was distracted, she asked, "Is Amu too tired?"

The key point is that the wing rooms are narrow and not as comfortable as Ning'an Hall.

However, Ning'an Hall will not be able to vacate the space before the end of the month.

Madam Bo looked at Shushu and said, "It's okay. I just remembered that when you two were little, you were all filial and sensible, just like Fengsheng and the others."

After hearing this, Shushu looked in the direction of the Dutong Mansion and said, "My father and mother must be talking about my childhood. I have sneezed several times since this morning."

Mrs. Bo said, "Of course I've thought about it. We'll have a banquet there today as well."

Because today is not only Shushu’s birthday, but also the Gold Award Day.

It is almost like a festival. Every family in the Eight Banners makes dumplings and stews meat.

Shushu served Mrs. Bo a bowl of Feilong soup and said, "I hope this smallpox epidemic will end soon..."

*
Dutongfu, main courtyard.

The whole family did have a feast, and what they ate was hotpot.

This cave vegetable was not bought from outside, but sent from the hot spring villa in the Prince's Mansion.

Jueluo was indeed talking about her daughter, but not her husband or son, but her daughter-in-law Zhang.

"It's your sister's birthday, so we have to set up a banquet every year..."

Zhang said, "Sister is filial, she must be thinking of my father today."

Jueluo said, "It is only because your aunt is there to take care of us and Fusong is there to lend a hand that your father and I feel at ease. Otherwise, we would be worried."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat at separate tables.

With a new daughter-in-law at home, it was inconvenient for them to eat at the same table, so they sat at two tables.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in the east room, and Qi Xi and his son were in the west room.

Qi Xi looked at his sons and said to Zhu Liang, "It seems like it was just yesterday when your sister was selected from the imperial palace and we had dinner together..."

As a result, it is not easy to reunite now.

Because the Beile Mansion was sealed off, Fusong was on duty there and did not come back today.

Xiaoliu is in the palace, but he is not here either.

Zhu Liang picked up the wine pot, poured a glass for Qi Xi and said, "After a while, my elder sister will return home..."

Fusong did not come back, but the message was delivered.

The vaccination for the three children went smoothly, and the prince and princess were all safe and healthy.

In this way, the ban on Beile Mansion can be lifted by the end of the month.

Zhuliang's wedding date is set for early November, just in time for the family to reunite.

Qi Xi nodded and looked at Xiao San and Xiao Si.

The mistress has been engaged for several years. She is sixteen this year and should get married the year after next at the latest.

Xiao Si and Xiao San are twins, so their wedding dates must be close together and should be set next year.

Xiaowu is thirteen this year and will be fourteen next year. He is a grown man now. He is picking up food for Xiaoqi and taking care of him.

Although Xiaoqi is only four years old, he loves to stick to his brothers.

When I had dinner today, I did not stay in the east room with Jueluo, but stayed in the west room with my father and brother.

Qi Xi thought about the conversation with his wife and decided that he would give the property to his sons when they got married.

This will prevent the sons from having other ideas and causing conflicts among the brothers.

This is fast.

At this moment, there was a noise outside.

When Qi Xi heard this, he had a bad feeling.

In recent times, all social interactions in the capital have stopped, except for reporting deaths.

Sure enough, it’s not good news.

Although it was not a death announcement, it still made people feel nervous.

The person who came was the steward of the Beizi Mansion. He reported breathlessly, "My Lord, our Lord sent me to ask for help. Our Thirteenth Princess is pregnant and has a high fever. My Lord wants to ask if you have any alcohol?"

Qi Xi was stunned when he heard this, and frowned, "Did the Thirteenth Princess not get vaccinated?"

When Princess Thirteen was young, vaccination was already being promoted.

The manager said awkwardly, "I didn't plant it. I delayed it in my early years. I didn't dare to plant it when I grew up. I thought there hadn't been any smallpox in these years..."

The Thirteenth Princess was a concubine's daughter of the Prince's Mansion. She lost her mother at a young age and had no brothers from the same mother. Before she got engaged to the Dong E family, no one paid any attention to this lady.

Qi Xi exhaled, looked at Xiao San and said, "Go to the pharmacy and get a bottle of alcohol and a box of ginseng."

Xiao San had a panicked look on her face. She responded and went to the pharmacy to get something.

Qi Xi asked, "Where does the Thirteenth Princess avoid smallpox?"

Many people left Beijing recently, and many strangers left Beijing to avoid smallpox.

The steward said, "He is in Haidian Manor with several princesses and young princes."

"Where is your Lord Beizi?"

Qi Xi asked.

The two families have been somewhat estranged in the past few months, and something like this is a perfect stepping stone to ease the relationship.

Judging from Sunu Beizi's behavior, he should come here in person.

The steward said: "In the clan house, several old dukes and old wives reported the death..."

Qi Xi sighed.

When this smallpox epidemic breaks out, children and the elderly are most at risk.

Not to mention other areas, just here in Zhenghong Banner, there are several families that have gone bankrupt.

All the patients suffering from smallpox had to be moved out of the city, and even their death could not be buried in peace.

The children and grandchildren cannot hold funeral ceremonies, but the family members themselves have to observe mourning.

After a while, Xiao San brought some alcohol and ginseng and looked at Qi Xi with hesitation.

Qi Xi sighed and said, "Don't make a fuss at this time. Wait until the Thirteenth Princess is better in a few days, then go and check on her."

Xiao San also knew the seriousness of the matter. Even if he was familiar with her, it would not be a good idea for her to go and visit the Thirteenth Princess.

We can only wait for the Thirteenth Princess to get through it herself...
