My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 365 Good Omen (Part [-])
When only the husband and wife were left, they refused to sit still.

The kang table has been pushed to the edge of the kang, and the kang pillows next to it have also been pulled over.

Brother Nine murmured: "It seems like a year, how fast it goes!"

Shu Shu felt slow.

The days before getting married were fine, but after getting married, it was like a spinning top, one thing connected to another, never idle at all.

In half a year, it seems like several years have passed.

When she turned her head and saw Brother Nine, she thought it would be nice to slow down.

Brother Nine turned his body and said, "Why are you silent? What are you thinking about? Or, let's play animal chess..."

Shu Shu pinched him.

The lights in the upper room are on tonight...

Brother Jiu snorted softly: "You won't be so heartbroken right now? If you can go out to play, leave Master alone at home..."

Shu Shu shook her head and said, "Even if the south of the Yangtze River is good, I don't think it will be so good without the company of my master; but the grassland is pretty good, we can go there again sometime."

Going out is not the same as being in the palace.

Riding in a car is hard work, but it's fine once you get used to it.

At that time, I was looking forward to going back to the palace to lie down, but such a day-to-day life in a frame is also easy to make people bored.

Moreover, the relationship in the palace is too complicated.

A concubine like Yifei feels that there is no difference between the palace and the outside, because she is a member of the palace.

For Shu Shu, she is just a bystander.

She misses the days of the past few months.

I've been on the road, but I'm relatively free, and there's Brother Nine.

Although she is looking forward to the trip to the south of the Yangtze River after the next year, her joy is halved when she thinks that without Brother Nine by her side, she can only act as an obedient granddaughter-in-law.

Brother Nine felt moved after hearing this, and said: "Khan Ama will go on a north tour almost every year, but it may not be our turn to follow. If we find a chance, we can go to Khalkha alone..."

After hearing this, Shu Shu was also moved.

If you go to other places to work hard, it's not bad to go to such an inaccessible place.

And if you go out from Zhangjiakou, the grassland over there is not far from the capital.

Shu Shu said: "Don't worry, after two years we move and want to go out to play, then go there..."

Brother Nine thought for a while and said: "There is Aba Haibu over there, we can go with the old ten and his wife at that time: if we go to the northwest, there will be sister Kejing..."

Princess Heshuo Kejing was born of nobleman Guo and raised by Concubine Yi. She is the eldest sister of Yikun Palace, and is half a year older than the fifth elder brother.

She was Fumeng last year, and she was the emperor's daughter who was married after Khalkha Nei.

At present, this princess is still not well-known, but in a few years she will stand out and become "Princess Sea Clam".

But because of Guo Guiren, Shu Shu couldn't get close to her.

After the ninth brother finished speaking, he also thought of Guo Guiren, and said in a muffled voice, "Why is this so?"

Shu Shu started talking: "Didn't you say that the royal family respects breast care? Then why is Cao Yin's mother not honored?"

Brother Nine said: "Using her husband's rank, I have already granted a first-rank imperial order, and I guess I will have to wait for the posthumous seal if I seal it again..."

He also said: "The nanny is different from the wet nurse. Most of the wives honored by Khan Ama are posthumous, with the exception of Mrs. Fengsheng. Although she is Khan Ama's nanny, she is the emperor's wet nurse. The emperor mentioned it before. Those who want to be sealed are those who died before the decree was issued.”

This Fengsheng lady passed away long before Shu Shu and Brother Jiu were born. She was granted the title of first-class wife during her lifetime.

After his death, he was also rewarded with a blessed place near the imperial mausoleum, and was buried according to the ceremony of his wife.

Before returning to Beijing in early November, when she stopped at Xiaoling, Shu Shu heard someone mention her.

The couple gossiping, the time is not so difficult.

When the drum sounded in the middle of the night, Xiaotang came over and asked when the dumplings were cooked.

Brother Jiu was still thinking about taking Shu Shu to watch the fireworks, so he said, "Let's cook it now!"

On New Year's Eve, Shu Shu's family also made dumplings with vegetarian fillings, but they were not stuffed with longevity vegetables, but mixed vegetarian ones.

She is also quite curious about this longevity vegetable stuffing.

They are all dried vegetables, mainly longevity vegetables, supplemented by fungus, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and gluten. Sesame oil is also used, and seasoned with salt, sauce, and pepper.

In the dining room, the dumplings are already wrapped and ready.

There are forty-eight dumplings in total.

Eight of them are marked and should be cooked in a small pot separately.

This is Shu Shu's private order to add a few auspicious dumplings.

Four of them were filled with golden scorpion seeds, and four of them were wrapped with pine nut sugar.

It turns out that there is no such thing as wrapping money in dumplings in the customs at this time.

Shu Shu started this tradition at home two years ago.

This year in the palace to celebrate the new year, she also wanted to win a good fortune, so she ordered Xiaotang to do so.

Not only the couple's dumplings were filled with auspicious dumplings, but Xiaotang's dumplings were also filled with silver scorpion, pine nut candy and so on.

In a quarter of an hour, the dumplings were on the table.

There are two whole ruler plates, which are full of white and fat dumplings.

Shu Shu took a closer look and noticed the difference.

A few dumplings had a bulging stomach, but the edges of the dumplings were slightly wider than the other dumplings.

Knowing what she was doing, she moved the direction of the plate.

Brother Nine is making dipping dishes, using miso and garlic.

Shushu here uses balsamic vinegar and chili oil.

Seeing this, Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "Where did this come from? It's the first time I heard that dumplings should be dipped in vinegar..."

Shu Shu handed over the dipping plate, bewitchingly said: "Grandpa, try it, it will be more refreshing."

In fact, this is more suitable for dipping meat dumplings, but Shu Shu is used to eating like this, and this is also the choice for vegetarian dumplings.

Brother Jiu was quite willing to try new things, so he picked up a dumpling and dipped it in.

The taste of balsamic vinegar is not as strong as that of mature vinegar, and the sourness is softer. The chili is also selected to be slightly spicy, not dry and spicy.

Brother Jiu nodded, just about to praise, felt something was wrong, and spit out half a dumpling from his mouth.

Inside is a hollow gold ingot.

"what?"

Brother Nine was a little overjoyed: "My lord has eaten Yuanbao? Why is there Yuanbao in the dumpling?"

Shu Shu said with a smile: "Congratulations, it's about getting rich!"

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "The omen is good, what else is there besides wealth?"

Shu Shu said: "There is also sugar, eating it means a year of sweetness..."

There is this meaning, and more importantly, I want to give Brother Jiu a sweet mouth, so that he can talk more in the future.

Brother Jiu straightened up and said, "Then let's eat quickly!"

Although he thought the balsamic vinegar seasoning was not bad, he was still used to the sauce, so he handed the seasoning dish back to Shu Shu, and the two of them buried their heads in eating.

Shu Shu thinks the stuffing is quite delicious, and the longevity dish has no peculiar smell, just like the vegetarian assortment.

If you don’t use longevity vegetables, but replace them with dried cabbage, you shouldn’t be able to taste any difference.

Keeping this stuffing is probably a good meaning of longevity dishes.

Forty-eight dumplings.

Fortunately, the dumplings were not big and filled with vegetarian food, so the two of them ate a CD.

After Shu Shu inadvertently moved and folded the plate a few times, Brother Jiu ate three gold ingot stuffing and one piece of pine nut candy stuffing.

The remaining four were eaten by Shu Shu.

Brother Nine was in full bloom, smiling from ear to ear, and said: "It's just right, we are half of each other, and the Lord earns money for you to spend. Be good, and we will be sweet..."

Shu Shu put a glass of hawthorn water by Brother Jiu's hand.

After all, he is a young man with a strong desire to win.

For these ingots, I ate about twenty dumplings, twice the usual amount.

Shu Shu felt a little regretful.

If I had known this, I should have told the dining room to cook less.

In fact, she knew in her heart that this was specially prepared by Xiaotang for her seeing that she didn't have enough dinner.

But who told Brother Jiu to be so damn competitive.

As soon as Brother Jiu took a sip of tea, there was the sound of "cracking" firecrackers in the distance.

At the second quarter of the first day of the lunar new year, firecrackers began to be set off outside the Qianqing Palace.

Even after half a mile, the voice seemed to be right next to my ears.

Brother Jiu hurriedly got off the kang and said, "Come on, let's go out and set off fireworks..."

Shushu's family also set off firecrackers every year.

But the fireworks in the palace are all local tributes, and some are made in-house, she is also very curious.

When I got out of the gate of the second school, I saw that there were already many people in the corridor.

After everyone finished eating the dumplings, they came out to watch the fireworks.

At this moment, Wei Zhu has also arrived.

He was accompanied by a young eunuch of similar age.

On weekdays, eunuchs live in the dormitory in the imperial city, and only enter the palace when they are on duty.

But the closing and opening time of the palace gate is fixed. After they are on duty, they will live in the small duty room in front of the Qianqing Palace and sleep, and they will not be able to go out until the palace gate opens tomorrow morning.

Brother Jiu has asked He Yuzhu and the others to bring out the fireworks, two full baskets.

They chose the entrance of the corridor as the place to fire the cannon.

The masters don't let him go, but the eunuchs around him don't get in the way.

He Yuzhu greeted several other eunuchs who were acquainted with each other, and followed Wei Zhu to set off fireworks.

When Brother Jiu asked people to stay, he also paid attention to propriety. They were all small and quiet firecrackers sitting on the ground, not the eye-catching ones like colorful bead tubes and stringed sky monkeys. spin.

The first one is Taipinghua, a firecracker the size of a small washbasin.

After igniting, there will be a scene of fiery trees and silver flowers immediately.

Accompanied by the sound of "cracking" firecrackers in the distance, it looks very lively.

Here, the Taipinghua has not yet fallen, and He Yuzhu has already led people to light two fireworks that are swirling.

The sparks sprayed towards the crowd horizontally, and everyone retreated quickly, and there was another lively scene.

Xiaosong was mischievous, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to look at the fireworks, took a familiar one, and said happily: "This is Fujin's favorite..."

Brother Jiu looked over curiously, and saw a handful of flowers.

He laughed and said, "Haha, it's cowardly at first glance, and you don't dare to let it go, that's why you're playing with this kind of child's stuff! Light it up..."

This is what he played when he was a child, and he hasn't played this kind of game since he went to the study.

The other elder brothers couldn't laugh at the sister-in-law, so they all looked in other directions.

Xiao Song responded and went to find Xianxiang.

Shu Shu grinds her teeth beside Brother Jiu.

It seems that the sugar dumplings just now were eaten for nothing, and I still can't speak.

Well, brother Jiu is not wrong.

She was really cowardly, so she didn't dare to let it go.

When setting off firecrackers outside during the New Year, the main thing is to listen to the sound, and the big firecrackers with [-] to [-] rings are the main ones, and the rest are Er Tijiao, Mariezi and so on!

Every time there is a movement, it makes people's ears hurt, and it is very dangerous to watch it.

After igniting the fuse, you have to run, or you always look like you are going to be blown up.

It would be even more catastrophic if the firecrackers did not stand firmly, changed direction, and rushed towards people.

Shu Shu's heart trembled when she saw it, and she was also afraid that her younger brothers would be mischievous. Sometimes she couldn't stand it, and every year when the firecrackers were held before the new year, she would mainly buy flowers from Yangmo's house.

Safe and safe, playing with a bunch of children is more secure.

Xiao Song had already lit a handful of flowers, brought them over and said, "Look, Fujin..."

Shu Shu looked at it with a smile, dotted with stars, felt a sense of loss in her heart, a little homesick...
