Shanbao returned to Beijing with two carts of furs and some gifts from Qianlong, including six jars of royal wine.

Xueya heard the maidservant enter the room and reported: The uncle has entered the door.Hastily carrying the skirt and ran out to meet him in small steps.

Dressed in a handsome bodyguard uniform, Shanbao walked slowly, seeing Xueya rushing out, he couldn't help smiling, with a handsome demeanor.

Xueya clutched a small handkerchief in her soft and tender hands, and couldn't help but feel complacent, how outstanding her brother is.

"Big sister." Shanbao was born with a kind of tenderness towards women, and smiled as he took Xueya's hand. Xueya was wearing a pink satin flag dress with gold thread and rose red trim, a rose red waistcoat, and a mid-length dress on her feet. There are palace shoes with high heels, Shanbao hurriedly helped her up, "Don't fall.

"It's okay, these shoes are in place." Snow girl combed her hair with a pair of hair, and inserted a jade pendant bead obliquely on her temples. With her movements, the bead swayed and swayed, very pretty. .

Shanbao naturally went to his uncle's and aunt's yard first, and Dong E welcomed Shanbao into the house, ordered the maid to pour tea, held Shanbao's arm, looked up and down with a smile in his eyes, "I have grown taller, and I have grown stronger. , Is this journey going smoothly? The letter you sent is full of good things, and your uncle and I are still worried, afraid that you will report good news and not bad news."

Shanbao greeted Mrs. Dong E first, and Mrs. Dong E hurriedly helped him up, "I came back from a long journey, and there is no need to be polite. Sit down and rest for a while."

"I'm fine, how is Uncle and Aunt Fubao Jiabao?"

"Okay, very good." Dong E smiled and sighed, "It's only been half a year since I went here."

"Don't worry, Auntie. The guard's office is an easy job, but outside the Great Wall, it's mostly during horse racing, and it's very fun."

"Are you hungry? Eat two pieces of dim sum first, Fei Yan, go to the kitchen and ask them to make some side dishes."

Shanbao stopped with a smile, "Auntie, I'm not hungry, just eat together at night."

Dong E's family saw that Shanbao had to go home in full, and he finally let go of his heart, and regained his former calmness, and said with a smile, "If you don't eat, you have to wash the dust first. You love cleanliness the most, so don't accompany me anymore. Go take a bath and take a rest. Your uncle is about to leave the office. Let's talk later. Go, there is always hot water in the kitchen, and you can take a bath now. Feiyan, follow the uncle to see if there is any help of."

"Okay, Auntie, then I'll go clean up first."

Dong Eshi nodded with a smile.

Shanbao left. At that moment, Madam Zheng came in and said with a smile, "Ma'am, my uncle's things have been sent to my yard. There are still two carts of leather and a few jars of wine. I said that I will let my grandma take care of them. The servant saw that The wine is pasted with light yellow paper, I am afraid it is a gift from the emperor, how should I arrange it?"

Dong E thought for a while, "Put the skins in the warehouse first, let them put them away properly, and wait for the uncle to talk about the wine."

Madam Zheng went out to pass on the message, and the housekeeper went down to make arrangements. Nanny Zheng picked up the curtain and came in. Now she had already convinced Shanbao, and said joyfully, "Master is really promising. He sent a car of prey back just a few days ago. Today, there are two carts full of things, how old are people.”

Dong E's face is also full of joy, and he is good at preserving and promising, which has already had a great impact on their family.Shanbao's aptitude is far superior to Jiabao's, even Dong E's biological mother has to admit this.Jiabao used to have few brothers, but now he has two more cousins. In the future, the brothers will support and advance and retreat together, so that she and her husband can feel at ease.Recalling the past, Dong E's love and care for Shanbao wholeheartedly, "Who says it's not. After a while, the master will have a few drinks when he comes back, so he has to ask the chef to add some good dishes."

"Madam, don't worry, the old slave has just been ordered to go down."

Xueya smiled and said, "Emiang, let me show off a little bit, how about adding food to Ama'eniang?"

"Be careful, don't touch the knife."

"understood."

When Shengjia returned to Beijing, many families were reunited.

Niu Hulu's family is no exception.

After the reunion dinner in the evening, Shanbao shared some of the gifts from the emperor with his younger siblings, and honored Dong E's family with two jade handles inlaid with gold.The things that Qianlong rewarded his close ministers were all good. Seeing this, Dong E was afraid to accept them, "It's too precious, Shanbao, you can keep it for yourself."

"It's only valuable to show filial piety to my aunt. I don't know much about it. Let my aunt accept it. Can my family still be polite?" Shanbao persuaded with a smile, "You can't take out the things that are bestowed by the emperor. My family Enjoy it."

Dong Eshi didn't refuse, smiled, "Then I'll accept it." He said angrily, "All Long Live God bestows are gifts from heaven, so don't say anything about gifts." He handed the red sandalwood gold box containing Ruyi to Feiyan, Lashanbao sat down, and Dong Eshi mentioned the business, "Shanbao, you are sixteen next year, it's time to start a family and start a business. You go to Rehe to accompany you for a few months, and your uncle and I will help you. I saw a few girls."

"Auntie, am I still young?"

"It's not too young, my son, which one is not the [-]th or [-]th wedding? Let me tell you first, how many girls are there, I think they look good, but I have to wait until the end of the draft next year." Dong E smiled, "These You don’t have to worry about it, as long as you are mentally prepared, I will handle it. Jue Luo also has a few good ones, but they are all young. I didn’t think about it well with your uncle, and I have to discuss it with your uncle... "

"Auntie, the Empress Dowager is going to Mount Wutai to pay respects to the Buddha. I'm afraid that next year's draft will be delayed." Shanbao had to interrupt Dong E's enthusiasm, oh my god, he is only fifteen, and he is about to get married, such a fierce age.

Mrs. Dong E had heard about the Empress Dowager worshiping Buddha, and thought that the old lady came back after burning incense sticks, so she couldn't help asking, "Did the Empress Dowager return to Beijing with the Long Live Lord?"

"Well, Long Live sent us to escort the Queen Mother to Wutai Mountain. I heard that they will stay for a year." Shanbao distracted Dong E's enthusiasm from himself, "I reckon that the draft will not be pushed until September. In the future, it will be postponed until next year, do you have all the clothes and jewelry for the eldest sister at home?"

"Oh, how can this be good, the clothes have to be redone? It's okay, it's okay, in time," Dong E's attention was successfully diverted, and Shanbao sighed, "Isn't it? I also need to prepare more gold jewelry Well. After October, it’s Dai Jin’s solar term. By the way, I still have half a box of rubies in the house. My aunt sits down for a while. I’ll use it to set jewelry for my elder sister. I am also concerned about the important events in my sister’s life. Woolen cloth."

Oiled the soles of the feet and went for a walk.

Shanbao is a stable and stable errand day after day, with the big tree of Fucha's family, the years are stable and peaceful.

However, deep in his heart, Shanbao was always calculating: when will the little swallow come.

Finally, one day in October, Qianlong was so happy that he suddenly became interested in hunting in the Xishan paddock.

On that day, Shanbao was on duty and accompanied him.

Flags flying, thousands of horses galloping, gongs and drums blaring, long whistles blowing, Qianlong took the lead and galloped on the grass. Before entering the paddock, he reined in the horse and laughed loudly, "The paddock is ahead, take out your Let's look after your skills, I will reward the person with the best hunting results today!"

At this time, the princes and ministers who were driving did not speak, nor did the fifth elder brother. Fu Erkang said first, "Yes, Your Majesty, then I will not be polite!"

The corner of Fukang'an's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "Damn thing, a coat, dare to call yourself 'I' in front of the imperial court! I owe it to you!"

Qianlong didn't seem to care, turned his head to look at Fu Erkang, and said with a loud smile, "Who told you to be polite, show your skills!"

The emperor glanced at him, and Vulkang seemed to be on a stimulant. He raised his chin even higher, and said with a smile, "Yes, your majesty." He twisted his butt immediately, and said to the fifth prince, "Fifth prince, Ertai, let me compete with you to see who is the first to catch the prey?"

Fukang'an curled his lips directly, and said in his heart, go, go, if you have the courage to hunt one before Long Live and show me, I will convince you!

The fifth elder brother looked at his own Ama, and Qianlong looked at Maolin Yecong in front, and said with a smile, "Fukang'an, Shanbao, you are also young people, let's go and compete together!"

After a while, the fifth elder brother ran away and disappeared without a trace.

Although they received the emperor's order, Fukang'an and Shanbao only rode horses and followed Qianlong. Qianlong wondered, "Why are you two so listless and not moving?" Don't you understand what I mean?

Fu Lun laughed and said, "Tanhua Erlang has always been studying, is he tired from riding a horse?"

Shanbao smiled lazily, "The Grand Scholar is overthinking, I was thinking that Long Live has not fired the first arrow, so I dare not move."

Fu Lun choked, and Qianlong smiled nonchalantly, "It's okay, let's go play! Today I want to see you young people roaming around the paddock! No need to be formal!"

Fukang'an and Shanbao had just reined in their horses and were about to turn their horses' heads, when they saw the army guards beside the fifth prince report back, "Long live, the fifth prince has caught a female assassin!"

coming! coming!

The swallows are coming!

There are folding fans and picture scrolls, and an illegitimate daughter fell from the sky, Qianlong had to rescue her back to Beijing.

That night, Qianlong was worried about Fu Heng, "Oh, I met Yuhe in Jinan at that time, and I promised to take her back to Beijing, but it happened to be in time for the Junggar rebellion, and this delay put Yuhe's matter to rest." forget."

Fu Heng is silent, can you forget all this?

"Long live has been confirmed, is it a dragon species?"

"The folding fan, the picture scroll, and the inscription on it are not bad, they should be." Qianlong sighed, "I was young and frivolous, so I missed Yuhe."

Hearing Qianlong's words, Fu Heng spit out sour water for a while, and almost spit out the overnight meal.If you don't wipe your mouth after eating, you still have the face to tell here.Fu Heng swallowed the overnight meal down his throat, and asked following Qianlong's words, "Then, should someone go to Shandong to bring the Xia family into the palace? You can't just recognize the daughter and not the daughter's mother, right? "

Qianlong was in a dilemma, and Long's face was a little embarrassed, "For so many years, I have taken care of everything every day, and I don't quite remember where Yuhe lives?"

It's rare for you to know the word "shame". Fu Heng said blankly, "It's okay, Jinan's household registration is always there. It's not difficult to check it. The secrets that the slaves ordered them to do will not hurt Long Live's face." Long live, do you still remember Miss Xia's father's name?"

Qianlong didn't have the nerve to say that he forgot, he was thinking in his heart, Xia Yuhe is almost forty now, this, how did he get into the palace?The emperor has no personal affairs, how to explain to the ministers in the court.

Seeing Qianlong's embarrassment, Fu Heng threw another giant bomb, "Is it better that the queen mother will hear about this matter?"

"No hurry, Xiao Chun'er, this matter is not urgent," Qianlong hurriedly stopped and persuaded, "I asked her carefully when the girl woke up, and this matter is quite strange. Let's wait until she wakes up first. Don't worry." Thinking of his old lady's reaction, Qianlong started to have a headache...

Fu Heng tried his best to suppress the gloating in his heart, "Slave is not in a hurry. Long live, if this is a dragon species, how will the sixteenth master of the clan's mansion explain it? Also, suddenly a watery man appeared out of nowhere in the palace. Princess, how do I make it known to the world? To recognize the princess, how should it be recorded on the imperial family’s jade certificate, what is the status of the princess’s mother? Where did she come from? When did she enter the palace? When was she favored? Make it clear in the concubine's bed book." He reminded him faithfully, "Long live these things, you have to make up your mind early."

Leaving the dumbfounded old dragon behind, Mr. Fu Heng Shi Shi left.
