My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 73 Tanabata

"Anyway, Brother Nine, you just listen to your younger brother, and take good care of Nine Sister-in-law, don't let anyone bully you!"

Elder Brother Ten emphasized again.

He is a conscientious little uncle, thinking of the love of delivering meals these days, he is willing to "reciprocate".

Although the meals are all prepared in the dining room, and the master does not need to cook, it is not a matter of a simple order.

"Hmm! Mmm! I made a note!"

Brother Nine also had a more serious face, knowing that this hospital should not go rashly.

If Khan Ama ordered to hide it from himself, then he would go to ask, but he would not be able to find out anything.

Huh? !

Are you thinking too much?
If the medicine stone was really ineffective, how could Khan Ama and Niangniang be so calm?

Not to mention summoning famous doctors from all over the world, at least a few foreign doctors in Beijing must be passed into the palace!
Fujin "failed" yesterday, maybe just caring and causing chaos! ?
She is looking forward to little Elder Brother and Little Gege so much, she must hope that her body will be recuperated as soon as possible, and she is not in a hurry when she knows that Fujin is playing tricks? !
Brother Jiu's eyes were shining, but he felt that most of the haze in his heart had dissipated.

Perhaps it is true that the child's heir is difficult, but he is here, and she is also there.

As for the little brother...

Brother Nine looked at Brother Ten, thinking about it.

Shu Shu is a concubine's daughter at home, and she is a concubine's wife when she marries herself, so she doesn't like concubines and concubines.

The fifth brother and the fifth sister-in-law are estranged, and it is still unknown whether they will have a son, let alone a son of Fuyu.

Instead, Old Ten is here...

"Tenth brother, learn from my elder brother in the future and treat my own son-in-law Fujin well. At that time, not to mention seven sons and eight son-in-laws, full of children and grandchildren, there will also be two or three sons-in-law..."

Brother Nine is very kind to teach.

The tenth elder brother raised his chin, proudly: "Is this still called by the ninth brother? My brother understands it in his heart... After Khan Ama's marriage proposal came out, I asked someone to prepare a gift. When she enters Beijing at the end of the year, I will give it to you." Her..."

Brother Nine recalled how he behaved in the past few months. He knew that after marriage, let alone presents, he even boasted that he wanted to dissolve the engagement.

He couldn't help but feel ashamed: "What gift?"

"A little mare, kept in the village..."

Elder Brother Shi showed off a bit: "This is called 'following what you like'! The gift is a horse, not a horse!"

Brother Nine felt guilty, he didn't seem to have bothered to prepare a gift for Shu Shu except for Zhuang Piao.

It's not as good as the old ten!

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.

The dining table was set up, and Liang Jiugong bowed in and said: "Master, the Empress of Yikun Palace has something to eat. Sincerely..."

The east and west palaces have their own dining rooms.

In addition to appreciating dishes in the Qianqing Palace, each palace also has "respect dishes" from time to time.

Although there is no clear stipulation, in fact, it is defaulted that only those who are above the main position are eligible to "Your Sincerely".

Rao is so, and it is not a custom.

In the harem right now, apart from the four concubines Hui, Yi, De, and Rong, Concubine Tong and Concubine Zhang will go to Qianqing Palace once in February or March to "respect".

Where are the top four positions? Concubine Tong is the emperor's cousin, and Concubine Zhang is the beloved pet in recent years.

Others are more self-aware and don't make fun of themselves.

Concubine Yi has always followed the trend in her actions, she was like this when she was favored earlier, and it is like this now.

If there is nothing to do, we will "respect the dishes" once every two months, and the time is in the middle of the month.

This is to avoid Concubine Hui.

But it is still the first ten days of the month, not the time for Concubine Yi to "respect the dishes" in the past.

"What are you respecting? Come to the front?"

Kangxi also thought of this difference in his heart, and ordered Liang Jiugong to do it.

It's a small pancake, but the size of a chess piece.

After the eunuch tasted it, Kangxi picked up a small pancake and took a bite.

The outside is puff pastry, and the inside is red bean filling.

There is no sugar in the red bean filling, only a little honey, and the taste is not sweet.

Kangxi ate three small cakes in a row, Liang Jiugong watched and admired Concubine Yi even more.

On weekdays, the emperor doesn't like to eat these sweet pastries, he only eats some salt and pepper for snacks.

Kangxi looked away from the red bean cake, and with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he pointed to a bowl of stewed bird's nest on the table: "Appreciate Concubine Yi... pass on my oral order, and call Concubine Yi Youchuqian to accompany you in the Qing Palace..."

Liang Jiugong responded, watched the eunuch serving food pack the bird's nest, and took people to Yikun Palace to pass the decree.

*
Yikun Palace, a little to the east.

Concubine Yi is not dressed in an ordinary way. She has a honey-colored spring silk shirt embroidered with twigs, a goose-yellow mandarin duck-patterned tapestry waistcoat, and half a tin plucked from her head. Instead, her hair is braided in the style of a young woman with green onions, with two butterfly love hairpins inserted. Sitting in front of the makeup mirror with a smile on her face, looking at a piece of powdered noodles in the mirror, she asked Xiang Lan, "Is this rouge good? Is it a little thinner?"

Xianglan looked at it carefully, and replied: "The servant looks just right, if there is nothing, it matches your empress's complexion..."

If it were any other concubine, Concubine Yi would never behave like this because her son or daughter-in-law "caused trouble", or pleaded guilty in all sincerity, or beat around the bush and complained about grievances.

She knew in her heart that even if she was conceived in October, the emperor's contribution would be limited, but in the eyes of the emperor, he was a noble prince who was more important than their concubines.

The emperor's son had the emperor to worry about it; if the emperor's chosen daughter-in-law was dissatisfied, it was not his turn to talk.

What she can do for her son is to secure her position as the "beloved concubine" and not hold her sons back.

When Liang Jiugong came over with Kouyu and Bird's Nest, he saw such a radiant Concubine Yi.

After the oral order was passed on, Concubine Yi greeted the blessing in the direction of Qianqing Palace, and said with a smile: "Even if the emperor doesn't pass on the word today, I will go to Qianqing Palace with a thick face..."

Liang Jiugong bowed and listened, and went back with a generous reward. Naturally, he also "casually" talked about Concubine Yi's happy reaction when she heard the oral order.

When Kangxi heard this, he also looked forward to it.

Life requires a sense of ritual.

Even in the "foot ban".

After being reminded by Nanny Zhou and Xiaochun in turn, Shu Shu remembered that today is "Chinese Valentine's Day".

In fact, Shu Shu doesn't like this day in her heart, first she will be parted for a whole year, and then there will be a "meeting on the magpie bridge" once a year, which is not very auspicious.

Who told the world to believe this.

Unmarried girls should pray in the boudoir to marry a good husband, and married young women should also pray for a good marriage.

Now that Shu Shu knows, she will naturally "do as the Romans do".

After copying the scriptures, she also wanted to prepare a surprise for Brother Jiu.

The past few days have been sick again, or something, Brother Jiu is not so at ease.

The purse has been sent out.

It is too late to make belts and inner shirts.

Shu Shu couldn't help laughing when she thought about Brother Nine's purse-filled appearance these two days.

She remembered an old object, and called Xiaochun to open the east wing to find it.

A sapphire flat peach safe and sound card.

The sapphire is not so moist, and the carver looks ordinary, but Shu Shu cherishes it very much.

This was the dowry of Princess Gulun Wenzhe more than a hundred years ago.

Inherited for several generations, Ama and Ernie left it to themselves.

They hope that they can live a long life like Princess Wenzhe, with a full house of children and grandchildren.

I will definitely do what they wish, live a long life, and have a full house of children and grandchildren.

Brother Jiu is not sure.

Shu Shu hoped that this nothing happened card would bring him good luck.

In addition to this, Shu Shu also tied the netting herself, choosing golden yellow silk thread.

Her handwork is ordinary, which means "slow work and meticulous work". She took it apart twice before finally making a net.

It's just that she can't weave a "heart" in Luozitou as she thought.

"Hey!"

Shu Shu felt quite inadequate, and the net in her hand had already been pulled out.

It's brother Jiu who's back.

With such a jade pendant and such a colored net, Brother Jiu thought it was for himself, but felt embarrassed.

Do you care too much about your wife?

"Grandfather is back..."

Shu Shu smiled and wanted to get up, Brother Jiu stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder: "My lord has taken all these good things from you, and I haven't returned the gift yet, do you have anything you want?" Looking into Shu Shu's eyes while speaking , with seriousness.

In fact, Brother Nine wanted to apologize.

The golden bowl thing...

Brother Jiu realized later, and also understood Shu Shu's scruples.

It's not that she is scheming, nor is she trying to fool herself, that is not an ordinary nanny, but an old man who has been by his side for more than ten years...

If Brother Nine found something wrong with Nanny Zhou or Nanny Qi, he probably wouldn't go beyond Shu Shu to deal with it, instead he would worry about hurting her face.

Shu Shu asked curiously: "Why did you think of giving me something?"

If it's because of "Qixi Festival"...

unlikely...

After all, it's not a big festival, even Shushu needs to be reminded to remember, let alone brother Jiu is still a man, this is not a festival for men in the first place.

Ninth elder brother couldn't say that he was "raised" by tenth elder brother, so he just said: "If you want to give it away, what else can you do for it?"

Shu Shu thought about it carefully: "Then I'll ask you for something?"

"what?"

Brother Jiu asked.

Shu Shu didn't answer right away, instead she got up and went to fetch something after a while and came back: "Master, look at this?"

Brother Jiu answered: "Wear it on your head? Do you want to make it like this? Then I sent someone to make it inside..."

Shu Shu waved her hand with a smile: "No need...Think about it carefully, what did you say about me in the back office when the lawsuit was filed?"

It's only been a few months, and Brother Jiu is not forgetful, so he remembers it clearly, and smiled while holding the bunch of flowers.

Thinking about it now, maybe this is the fate of husband and wife?

Brother Jiu recalled, his eyes fell on Shu Shu's feet involuntarily, fortunately she was wearing flat shoes at home.

Strange to say, the most impressive thing at that time was the four-inch-high flag shoes besides Shu Shu's unruly eyes.

Although I don't want to look up at others, I am indeed being compared.

"I'll exchange this piece of coral with my grandfather..."

Shu Shu said softly.

Brother Nine had already held the tuanhua in his hand, and was unhappy: "The right part of my hat is not as good as this one... I will change it after I find a good one..."

But Shu Shu shook her head: "It's different, I just want that one!"

Brother Jiu was so soft in his heart that he couldn't say no to it, so he immediately ordered He Yuzhu to find it in the front yard.

Seeing Shu Shuzhen's precious collection of corals, Brother Jiu made up his mind to find the best and reddest corals for his wife to make jewelry, instead of dealing with it like this...
