My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 1896 Choosing an auspicious day (rolling around asking for monthly tickets)

The Ninth Prince thought that Shushu brought up the old topic again because of Butler Cui and Madam Qi.

After all, these two are already in their fifties, and if they were left alone, they could already start preparing their burial clothes and supplies.

However, due to their status, it was not easy for them to ask imperial physicians to diagnose their pulses.

The court physician also diagnosed the pulse before, but he was not as good as Doctor Jiang.

The Ninth Prince thought for a moment and said, "The more gifts you give, the less blame you will get. I'll ask Cao Shun to prepare a Lantern Festival gift for Lao Jiang first, and then I'll mention this to him when he's ready to leave our family."

"Well, well... I have thought it through more thoroughly..."

Shu Shu said.

I hope Zhang Tingzan can find out something.

If you have a chronic disease, you don't have to be afraid of it because you can be prepared.

I'm afraid it might be an emergency like heat stroke, cold, or cerebral infarction.

It seems that before the summer comes this year, I should prepare more Huoxiang Zhengqi Pills and send one to everyone as a backup.

Shushu also felt a little curious.

If Zhang Tingzan had not died early, would Zhang Tingyu's journey to becoming a veteran of three dynasties have been delayed, or would it have never happened at all?

The next day was another leisurely day.

The ninth prince continued to take care of the child.

After breakfast, he took his two sons to Ning'an Hall to pick up Niguzhu.

The four of them, father and son, went to the Prince's Mansion in a mighty procession.

The Tenth Prince had just finished his breakfast and was in the upper room teaching his son to speak with his wife.

No matter whether it is Chinese, Mongolian or Mandarin, you should always speak first.

The little prince is lazy and would not speak unless he could.

If the little guy hadn't called someone before, the couple would have been very worried.

When he heard that the Ninth Prince had brought the children with him, the Tenth Prince picked up the little prince and said, "Let's go with Father to pick up your Ninth Uncle and your brother and sister..."

"Big brother..."

The young prince finally spoke, pointing outside and calling for help.

The tenth prince smiled and said, "Yes, there is not only the eldest brother, but also the second brother and the eldest sister..."

As he spoke, he went out to greet them, holding the child in his arms.

The Tenth Lady also followed behind.

Before the family of three left the main courtyard, the Ninth Prince had already brought the children to them.

All three children walked by themselves without being carried by anyone.

When the Tenth Prince saw this, he couldn't help but worry and said, "There's frost on the ground..."

Although it is the beginning of spring, it is still cold in the mornings and evenings.

The Ninth Prince waved his hand and said, "I'm wearing cowhide boots with thick insoles. There's a lot of meat in the New Year's dishes. If I don't move, I'll get indigestion."

The Tenth Lady bowed to the Ninth Prince, touched Fengsheng and Akdan, and then held Niguzhu's little hand.

Fengsheng and Akdan met yesterday, but I haven’t seen Niguzhu since before and after the New Year.

"You went to Guo Luomafa's house to celebrate the New Year? Oh, you are really a grown-up girl now, you can go out and visit friends..."

After hearing this, Niguzhu straightened up and said proudly, "Not only did I go to Guo Luomafa's house, I also went to Uncle Zhang's house and had a Jiangnan feast..."

The Tenth Lady said, "It must be delicious. The banquets in the capital are all the same. They are not as delicious as the ones at home!"

As the group was talking, they arrived at the main room.

The three children took off their outer coats and boots and placed them directly on the kang.

The same goes for the little prince.

"younger brother……"

Niguzhu looked at the little prince and sized him up for several times.

The Tenth Lady was standing by and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Have you forgotten?"

Niguzhu shook his head and said, "I haven't forgotten, I just feel that my brother is older than Zhang's brother..."

The little prince is actually several months younger than the youngest son of the Zhang family, but he looks a lot older than the youngest son.

The Ninth Prince took a look at his nephew. The boy with chubby arms and legs looked like Niguzhu's younger brother.

It’s just that children all have baby fat, so it’s okay for them to be a little fatter at this time.

The little prince had refused to speak before, but now he sat next to his brothers and sisters and was very well behaved, learning whatever they were taught.

"Big brother..."

"Second brother..."

"elder sister……"

"younger brother……"

The Tenth Prince and the Tenth Lady looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Tenth Lady couldn't help but ask the Tenth Prince, "Master, did my son do that on purpose?"

He deliberately didn't speak or call anyone.

The Tenth Prince also felt that his son deserved a beating.

He is only three years old, but he has already started to be disobedient and go against his parents.

The Ninth Prince saw the four children sitting in a circle, chattering, and his head was buzzing, so he pulled the Tenth Prince out and said, "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else..."

The children were in the east room, and the two brothers went to the west room.

The Ninth Prince sat down and drank half a cup of tea.

"It's so hard to take care of a child. He asks about everything and is so noisy. I'm almost tired of talking to him!"

They wouldn't be so noisy when Fengsheng and Akdan were being coaxed alone, and it was also okay when Niguzhu was being coaxed alone, but when the three siblings got together, it was a little unbearable.

Although the Ninth Prince is my biological father, he is somewhat unable to bear the heavy responsibility.

This is his own brother, so he spoke his true feelings.

"No wonder people say that children are a debt. Usually, they are taken care of by maids or nannies. Even a few days of care is exhausting. It is not easy for ordinary people to raise and educate their children without anyone to help..."

The Tenth Prince couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said, "You have been staying indoors these few days, concentrating on taking care of the child?"

The Ninth Prince nodded and said, "There is no other way. Your Ninth Sister-in-law is in confinement after childbirth. Fengsheng and the others are older now. They are different from when they were little. They can't be locked up in the room all the time. They don't need adults to watch over them."

The Tenth Prince smiled and said, "Then the Ninth Brother has indeed worked hard."

The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows and said, "It is indeed exhausting, so I asked Cui Anda to come out and let him look after the child from now on, so that your sister-in-law won't have to take care of the child and be too busy..."

Yesterday was a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Thinking about his arrangement again today, he felt it was very appropriate.

He had to go to the Lifanyuan and couldn't stay at home all the time, but his wife stayed at home all the time.

If you really have to take care of several children, it will be tiring and stressful. It is better to find someone you can trust to watch over them.

The Tenth Prince thought about Steward Cui's identity and felt that this arrangement was a stroke of genius.

Although Chief Steward Cui was still the chief steward, he had actually begun to fade out of the Prince's Mansion.

Now that he is back, it would be best if he could be arranged to be with the three Fengsheng siblings.

The Tenth Prince thought about his eunuch An Da, who had a similar status to that of Chief Steward Cui.

Even if the object of his loyalty is not himself, he is still someone he can trust and will never harm the little prince.

The tenth prince thought that he could follow the example of the ninth prince...

Otherwise, if I teach my son this and that every day, not only will I be very angry, but my son will also become tough and no longer afraid of his parents.

The Ninth Prince spent half a day in the Prince's Mansion with his children and stayed for lunch at noon.

The Tenth Lady knew that Niguzhu was "cleansing her stomach", so she didn't dare to give her any random food and instead made some honey water for her.

Fengsheng and Akdan ate Mongolian steamed buns, mutton steamed buns, fried milk tofu, hand-held meat, oxtail hotpot, etc.

The Ninth Prince looked at the table full of meat, which was filled with only a plate of yellow vegetables and a plate of cucumber strips with dip in sauce. The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

The New Year's dishes were also prepared in advance, but the ones at the Prince's Mansion were more convenient, with all kinds of braised meats and stews.

But he knew that his younger brother loved meat.

Seeing that the Tenth Prince was eating with relish, he said nothing and ate half a bowl of rice with the yellow vegetables.

Niguzhu drank the honey water in small sips, smelling the meaty smell in the air and swallowing his saliva.

When the Ninth Prince saw this, he felt a little sorry and said, "Tell your father what you want to eat and I will ask the kitchen to prepare it for you later."

Niguzhu looked at the food on the table and said, "Then... can you eat all of them?"

The Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "No, I can only choose two..."

Otherwise, I will have indigestion again and will be hungry for two more days.

Niguzhu was in a dilemma. He chose for a long time and said, "Then let's have the fried milk tofu and the hand-held lamb chops..."

The father and daughter reached a consensus.

Niguzhu's eyebrows were curved, and he was very expectant.

One is sweet, the other is meaty, so good...

There was also a dining table in the west wing of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

In addition to Shushu and Mrs. Bo, Jueluo was also there.

As soon as the lady of the earl came back and there was no shortage of manpower here, Shushu asked Aunt Xing to go to the Governor's Mansion to tell Jueluo not to rush over and to wait until after the fifth day when she was less busy.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, every family pays almost the same amount of New Year's greetings and there are fewer banquets.

This is also the reason why the Ninth Prince took the children to next door. He didn’t know that his mother-in-law was coming today.

However, Jueluo was worried about her daughter, so she came here at noon today.

"Nothing. This morning, your father, I and Xiao Er went to the general's mansion..."

Even though there were unpleasant things before, he still had to bow his head and marry a wife, and the general's mansion still had to be given the respect it deserves.

Qingru was the child they raised.

If the relationship between the two families really becomes deadlocked, the ones who will be in trouble will only be Zhuliang and Qingru.

Qi Xi and his wife sent an invitation to the general's mansion in advance and visited him on the third day of the New Year.

Shushu has always had a good impression of Qingru, her brother's wife.

As for Qingru's foolish father...

There is no such thing as perfection in this world...

The reason why Kangxi was wary of the crown prince was because there were too many people like Qingru Ama who were eager to follow him.

How many people would not be tempted by the merit of following the dragon?
They are all ordinary people.

"Has the date been set?" Shu Shu asked.

"Well, February 26th is the best day in February..."

Jueluo said.

Shu Shu said: "Very good, not too cold or too hot..."

Mrs. Bo thought that the Fusong couple now lived in separate kitchens.

The couple's new house is in the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, but it is still like this. Then the same will probably be true for Zhuliang and Qingru, whose new house is in the old uncle's mansion.

"You're also asking the children to separate? Why don't you keep Qingru with you and teach him for a few years?"

Mrs. Bo said.

Jueluo shook his head and said, "Forget it. There are still a few important things to do next. I won't be lazy."

Shushu listened and said, "Are you worried that Qingru might do something inappropriate?"

Jueluo glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about? A new daughter-in-law is already uneasy when she comes home. Why mix up the whole family? Wait until she gets used to it in two years..."

Shushu remained silent.

What my mother said was not wrong.

If you think about it from another angle, this is definitely a show of compassion for the bride.

It is not easy to be the eldest daughter-in-law or sister-in-law of a noble family.

But that’s not what I said a few years ago!
Mrs. Bo said, "That's good. Being a girl is different from being a daughter-in-law. Once you understand the rules, there's still time to teach her slowly..."
