My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 417 Five Yards

At the beginning of the unitary year, the lamps were turned on, and the lights inside and outside were brightly lit.

The family members and wives who came to participate in the Shangyuan Festival banquet are almost here.

The daughter of the clan is above the county head, and the family members of the clan are above the wife of the Duke.

The wives of Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion are the only three exceptions.

Fewer people than imagined.

In Kang Wang's mansion, no female relatives came over.

A total of five people came from Prince Heshuo Fujin, Prince Xian Fujin, Prince Jian Fujin, Prince Zhuang Fujin, Prince Yu Fujin, and Prince Gong Fujin.

There are four people, Wang Fujin of Duoluo County, Wang Fujin of Xinjun, Wang Fujin of Pingjun, Wang Fujin of Anjun, and Wang Fujin of Xijun.

Duoluo Shuncheng was the king of the county, and the successor had chosen, but the order had not yet been formally issued, so no female relatives came over.

There are two Mrs. Baylor, three Mrs. Beizi, fourteen Mrs. Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Fu Guogong, and eight people including the princess and county master.

Plus the three elder wives from Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Gong's Mansion.

Then came the Queen Mother and the two concubines.

Six concubines.

princess.

The four princes Fujin.

Six queens.

There were less than sixty people in total.

Plus two hundred attendants.

The banquet is located in the Qianzun Hall to the east of Weide Palace in Danbo.

It is a house with three rooms wide and two rooms deep, without partitions.

On the top is the main seat of the empress dowager, and on the left and right are the positions of the two concubines, all of which are single seats.

The other female relatives are divided into east and west, with two seats.

The east side is sorted by title, and among those with the same title, they are sorted by seniority.

On the west side, Concubine Hui is the head, followed by three concubines and two concubines, followed by the Crown Princess and Prince Fujin, then the Empress, and then the three elder wives, the princess, the county master and other patriarchal daughters.

The rank of the princess is below that of the concubines.

Shu Shu was quite surprised.

When I was in Ningshou Palace before, the Crown Princess was next to the Empress Dowager.

Then he realized that it was because of "rituals".

The honor of the princess comes from the prince, but she can't be rude to the emperor's harem.

As long as it is Kangxi's concubine, even a concubine is still the concubine's mother.

Therefore, when she was in Ningshou Palace, the Crown Princess was not seated properly, and she was not in her proper position.

Not only for the crown princess, but also for all the princes Fujin.

High and low status are high and low, and rituals are rituals.

Therefore, the seat of the Crown Princess was under Wei Concubine and Zhang Concubine, and she sat at the same table with San Fujin.

Sifujin and Wufujin sit together.

Shu Shu and Jiu Gege are at the same table, and the sister-in-law looks at each other and smiles.

The banquet is mainly full of seats, all kinds of cakes, plus pots and a few cold dishes.

The female relatives all came after dinner, and the table was more for watching dishes, and not many people moved their chopsticks.

Even if Shu Shu is greedy, she will not be presumptuous on this occasion.

She is also conforming to the crowd, that is, two bites were caught in the hot pot.

Most of the female dependents also choose this way.

Finally, the glutinous rice balls were served.

Seeing the situation in the bowl, Shu Shu laughed.

Yesterday, the head of the imperial dining room personally went to look for brother Jiu, just for this.

Today's glutinous rice balls are yellow and white.

Small in size, much more delicate, similar to quail eggs.

Six in each bowl.

Don't want to guess, it must be a different filling.

The fillings inside are all sweet.

Three kinds of jams, hawthorn jam, apple jam, peach jam.

A nut, walnut sesame.

A kind of bean paste.

The remaining one is milk cake filling.

Shu Shu ate to his heart's content.

I forgot about the milk cake.

This is not only for filling glutinous rice balls, but also for filling steamed buns.

Add egg yolk, it is a yolk bun.

Jiugege was beside him, also satisfied, and said in a low voice: "This can be regarded as misappropriating Jiusao's prescription, how bold?"

Shu Shu said: "I also read it from the notes of the predecessors. This is the food that Song Dynasty had. Besides, I didn't dare to use it directly. I specifically asked your ninth brother..."

It was the first time for Shu Shu to attend the Lantern Festival Banquet, but Jiu Gege had attended it several times.

She said: "The list of banquets is the same every year, and the Lantern Festival is also made of nuts and white sugar. This time, Khan Ama must have ordered it, otherwise they would not dare to come up with new tricks."

Shu Shu smiled.

From this point of view, the future Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival rituals have a direction.

It is actually relatively simple for children to coax their parents.

Royal is no exception.

All they want is love for their children.

Parents also look for a sense of presence.

Then use some thought to coax it.

When the mats were removed and dried and fresh fruits were replaced, there was movement in the room.

Everyone talked and laughed.

Familiar female relatives, regardless of seating order, gather together in twos and threes to gossip.

Waiting to see the fireworks feast outside.

There are many gift gardens around the Changchun Garden in various palaces, and many other princes of Baylor also have gift land.

Surrounding the Changchun Garden for more than ten miles, it is a land bestowed by the imperial court.

So everyone came over and didn't worry about returning to the city.

But Shu Shu thought of Ah Mou, her family has no other courtyard around here.

She leaned over, pulled Mrs. Uncle and whispered: "It's going to be gone for a while, how do you arrange for Ah Mou? Is he going to the garden of Prince Shuncheng's Mansion?"

Today, there are no female relatives in Shuncheng Palace, so I don't know if it is convenient or not.

Mrs. Uncle nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, your fourth uncle is in the garden now."

Shu Shu's fourth uncle is Mrs. Uncle's elder brother, King Le Erjin of Ge Shuncheng County, and also Shu Shu's sister-in-law's Ama.

Although because of the "San Francisco Rebellion", the teachers were exhausted and the nobles were dismissed, but the title of the county king has not been transferred, and it is still passed on to his sons.

It was bad luck at this time, three sons of the county king died in a row, all of them died, and now the fourth one is reported.

After hearing this, Shu Shu was relieved, and said in a low voice: "Amu, our master also talked about repairing the garden, and later he will find a place nearby. Let's build one too..."

Mrs. Uncle warned: "Don't think that it's a one-time thing. You have to follow the rules so that you don't get talked about. Even if you want to fix it, you can bear it. Wait for the prince in front to make a move. You can ignore the gossip outside. , but the rules of the royal family are not allowed to be messed up."

Shu Shu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ah Mou."

Mrs. Uncle instructed again: "With the Empress Dowager, there is no need to compete with Wu Fujin and Jiu Gege..."

Before the niece got married, the family naturally put all kinds of pets in the first place, but this time and that time.

Shu Shu whispered: "Well, it's a joke if you can't compete..."

Who in this world can compete everywhere?
It doesn't need to be that volume.

Be self-aware.

Mrs. Uncle is relieved.

Jiugege is here to find Shushu.

Her Ya Wan Zhai is also facing the fireworks cannon, and sincerely invites a few sister-in-laws to go over to her to have tea and watch the fireworks.

It just so happened that some acquaintances came over from Mrs. Uncle's side.

Shu Shu excused herself and followed Jiu Gege out.

Besides Shushu, Jiugege also invited Sifujin and Wufujin.

It's not that she is rude, and Sanfujin is left behind.

Instead, San Fujin was following the princess, joking with several clan relatives of the same generation, Fujin.

Jiugege invited him once, but was declined.

Arriving at Ya Wan Zhai, Shu Shu let out a long breath and coughed a few times.

There were about sixty female relatives present at the meeting, and each of them brought maids and nuns.

Plus the people from the Empress Dowager's Palace.

There were about two hundred people in the room, not to mention that it looked like a vegetable market, but it was also noisy.

Ears "buzzing".

There is also the smell of fat powder.

Choked nose.

And because of the seal in winter, the smell can't go away, and it's even more weird when mixed together.

Shu Shu's throat was already itchy.

Every time I use a veil to block the cough to suppress the cough.

Jiugege sensed that something was wrong with Shushu, so he invited a few people to change places to stay.

Jiugege has already ordered the palace servants to pour the pear ointment, and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu moistens her throat quickly."

Shu Shu drank it and drank it all in one gulp, only to feel more comfortable.

Sifujin and Wufujin are familiar with her, and they both know that she is afraid of being smoked.

When sitting at night in Zhijun Wangfu a few times before, he covered his mouth and nose tightly.

Si Fujin said with concern: "It is said that winter diseases are cured in summer, and when summer comes, find an imperial doctor with a large prescription to prescribe two prescriptions to rectify it, so as not to hurt the lung meridian after a long time."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, otherwise, this stimulus would make me cough, which would be annoying."

Wu Fujin said: "It is recorded in the "Huangdi Neijing" that the 'holding breath method' can nourish the lungs, and diet should also be taboo, less spicy and more acidic, preventing dryness and protecting yin..."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "It's already a taboo, the daily lily and white fungus are constant, and it has eased a lot, today the taste is really too strong."

After talking about this topic, Shu Shu looked at Sifujin and Wufujin and said, "After watching the fireworks, it's the second watch, how do sister-in-laws arrange it?"

Going back to the city is definitely not an option.

The city gate is closed, there is no token, and the prince elder brother has to follow the time to come and go.

Si Fujin said: "There is an official house in Haidian Town, just deal with it randomly for one night."

Shu Shu thought of the Old Summer Palace, but she still hasn't seen it yet.

By the time the princes got the gift garden, it was already the second knighthood.

But before that, Shengjia also began to extend the time of staying in Changchun Garden every year.

Shu Shu thought for a while and then let go.

At that time, Kangxi didn't care about his sons, and the princes and elder brothers would think of their own solutions.

Or set up a small courtyard first.

Ninth elder brother is so low in the ranking, he listens to Amu's instructions and acts like the brother and sister-in-law at the front.

After two cups of tea, there were firecrackers outside.

The fireworks started.

The scale is much larger than yesterday.

First, firecrackers, firecrackers and Er Tijiao, it seemed that the shaking room was shaking.

Two quarters of an hour later, the fireworks began.

Colorful and colorful.

And besides the fireworks stand on the West Garden side, fireworks were set off on the Changchun Garden side.

All box flowers.

The two places shine together, and the whole garden is shrouded in fireworks all over the sky.

From Xuchu to Haizheng, it took a full hour and a half before the sound of firecrackers stopped.

All the relatives and family members who attended the meeting left the garden.

This time, Shu Shu was following the princess, seeing off the guests on behalf of the queen mother.

After half an hour before and after, it was considered to be gone.

Shu Shu put on the boots and felt her legs were straight.

Brother Jiu came to pick up Shu Shu with a glazed lamp in his hand.

This was discussed before the emperor.

The Imperial Dining Room needs to use the new Lantern Festival recipe. Brother Jiu would not go to embarrass the head of the Dining Room, but went to the imperial court to ask for a lamp as a reward, which happened to be the occasion.

The husband and wife walked back to the South Office.

The dining room has prepared footwashing water.

After soaking her feet, Shu Shu felt relieved.

Only then did she realize that Brother Nine was extremely quiet today.

"What's the matter, grandpa?"

Shushu said.

Brother Jiu said dejectedly: "Before the meeting today, Ama Khan pointed out a piece of land, which is the place where we caught birds that day. Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs start construction next month, and build a few yards there for brothers to use..."

Shu Shu asked curiously: "Isn't this a good thing? It's better than going to the official house in Haidian Town to live in. Why isn't you happy?"

Brother Jiu stretched out his finger and said: "Only building five courtyards, Han Ama is too stingy, I don't believe it, he also thought of five before, this is to blame mynah for not coming today..."

The five yards are allocated to the princes who opened the mansion, that is, the eldest brother, the third elder brother, the fourth elder brother, the fifth elder brother and the seventh elder brother.

There is no eighth brother's share.

Shu Shu felt that she deserved it.

To be honest, for today's banquet, starting from the capital city and entering the city gate tomorrow morning, it will only take half a day before and after.

If the eighth elder brother wants to be a good husband, he must accept the grievances of his old father.

Speaking of this, Brother Nine seldom sighed: "Master finally understands what it means to ask for more than you can get. At the beginning, Ba Fujin said it was not safe. In order to keep this child, Ba Ge postponed the matter of accepting Fujin. In the end, it didn't work." keep..."

Shu Shu felt that she was too greedy and wanted to take advantage of everything.

This is summed up as a psychological effect in later generations, the more you care, the more you lose...
