When Shu Shu had lunch with his wife in the backyard, they didn't bother to set up a table. They only chose a few dishes on the table and the two of them used them.
For them, this is also a new dish.
Mrs. Bo likes cold shredded potatoes and also prefers braised potato cubes.
Shu Shu looked thoughtful when she saw this.
For vegetarians, potatoes are very friendly.
You must know that there are many people who are vegetarians, especially those from noble families. Many people are accustomed to being vegetarians when they pray to the Buddha.
Nowadays, vegetarian dishes outside include basic ingredients such as cabbage, tofu, and bean sprouts. Now adding potatoes, there are many more choices.
After finishing the meal, Shu Shu didn't dare to stay behind, still thinking about seeing off the guests.
She had also told He Yuzhu before that if the Holy Driver was ready to leave, she should send a message to the back immediately.
You still have to abide by the rules.
It was already a mistake not to come out to send you a compliment last time. You cannot make the same mistake a second time.
As a result, the meal in the front yard was eaten from a quarter past noon to a quarter past noon.
He Yuzhu came over in a hurry to deliver the letter.
Shu Shu didn't dare to delay, and immediately took Walnut and Xiaosong to the front yard.
Kangxi had already led the princes out of the house, and Shu Shu followed respectfully to see them off.
Brother Sixteen's sharp eyes immediately noticed that there was a pomegranate flower on the side of Shu Shu's waistcoat.
He hurriedly came over, held Shu Shu's hand, grinned and said, "The flowers are beautiful, Sister-in-law Jiu is even more beautiful."
Shu Shu held the chubby hand and couldn't help but smile.
This mouth is so sweet.
This movement attracted everyone to look over.
Although it is difficult to look at the girl carefully, the red pomegranate flowers on this blue dress are quite conspicuous.
There are two red pomegranate flowers on it, which look like clothes buttons. They match naturally and don't look out of place.
Kangxi saw him and glanced at Brother Jiu.
Pomegranate has many seeds, and this flower has a good meaning.
Even though Fengsheng and his brothers looked good and capable of standing, many children bring blessings, and Kangxi still hoped that the ninth elder brother would have more sons.
It would be great if, in a few years, Dong E could give birth to a pair of twins.
Dong E's biological mother gave birth to six sons.
The fourteenth brother saw this big hand holding a small hand and felt it was very annoying. It seemed that he had to "compete for favor", so he also came forward and said: "This is nice, but it looks thin. It is fine in spring and summer, but not suitable for autumn and winter."
At that time, I will buy a box of velvet flowers for Sister-in-law Jiu to wear."
No one looked at Shu Shu too much, but they were all listening to her answer.
My fourteenth brother is still half his age, so although he doesn't think dirty, it's time to avoid suspicion.
Shu Shu said: "Then I'd like to thank Uncle Fourteenth first. I won't take what you got for free. I'll exchange it for pork breasts when the time comes, but I don't want December flowers. That's heavier than Uncle Sixteen's. Can I have a box of velvet flowers with the word "Fu"?
?”
Between uncle and sister-in-law, it is not appropriate to send flowers, but it is okay to send blessings.
The fourteenth elder brother patted his chest and said, "Put it on my brother. Then Sister-in-law Ninth will be blessed every day. But besides the pork breasts, can I have two more cans of ginger candies? The ginger candies outside have a strong ginger flavor, and they are not as good as Sister-in-law Ninth's."
It’s delicious.”
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask someone to make two jars of ginger candies."
Everyone was speechless listening to the uncle and sister-in-law's exchanges.
There are still some comings and goings, but Brother Fourteen is really greedy and doesn't show up.
While we were talking, everyone was outside Brother's room.
Except for the prince and Si Age who lived in Beishuo, everyone else followed the Holy Driver and left.
The third elder brother was full and began to feel sleepy. He glanced at the fourth elder brother and said, "Are you going back to the city, or are you going to rest at the thirteenth elder brother's place?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother and said, "I'll stay here and take the whole recipe with me."
Third Brother said: "Then I'll go back first..."
With that, he said to Shu Shu: "I'm bothering my younger siblings today. By the way, do my younger siblings have any extra watermelon seeds? I also have an idle village in Daxing. I planted wheat and cabbage before, but the harvest was not good.
Okay, I’ll ask them to try growing watermelons next year too.”
Shu Shu said: "Every year, seeds must be specially reserved. If you want to use them, just ask them to leave more."
In later generations, the watermelon fields of Daxing were even spread out.
They have made money from watermelons in the past two years. Even if the third elder brother doesn't plant it next year, someone will start to plant it.
The sandy land in Daxing is there, and the production of serious food is too little.
Seeing her generosity, the third elder brother did not want to be stingy, and said: "I have persimmons in my garden in Fangshan. When they are ripe, I asked someone to send two baskets over for my brothers and sisters to try."
Shu Shu said: "Thank you then. Fangshan's Mopan persimmons are also famous for their delicious taste."
The fourteenth elder brother was standing by, looking at the third elder brother eagerly and said: "Third elder brother, do you have a share in seeing me?"
The third elder brother was holding a fan in his hand. When he saw this, he patted the fourteenth elder brother on the forehead and said: "You are so beautiful! You have tried to bully me a few times, and you still want to eat a persimmon? I think you look like a persimmon, so I owe you!"
The fourteenth elder brother moved the fan and said with surprise: "Third brother, do you still hold grudges?"
The third elder brother nodded and said: "How fresh it is. I am not a saint. Naturally, I have to have a long memory. If I have a grudge, I will take revenge. If I have a grudge, I will retaliate."
These days, the Fourteenth Prince has been advised by the Thirteenth Prince, reprimanded by the Fourth Prince, and even reminded once by the Ninth Prince.
He also reflected a little and found that he did indeed talk too much in front of others.
If others don't give him face, I'm afraid he will have an attack on the spot.
Here, Third Brother, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and this man can do evil things.
The fourteenth elder brother immediately realized that the current situation was a hero, and bowed and said: "Brother, I will apologize to you. I owed you a while ago, and you should not have pushed against the third brother."
The third elder brother didn’t say sorry or not, but he felt much more comfortable in his heart. He looked at the fourteenth elder brother and said: "If you can’t hold it in in the future and run against the eighth elder brother, then you have a good temper."
, I won’t argue with you.”
After hearing this, the fourteenth elder brother couldn't help laughing and said: "Third brother, you are so funny. Are you using your younger brother as a gunman? Please tell me, when did you and the eighth brother become enemies?"
The third elder brother hummed softly: "I'm kindly giving you a heads up. Be careful of others holding grudges like me. You're not a grown man now, so I won't care about you. But you can still be thirteen years old. Be careful how long you have.
I’ll take care of you next year.”
Brother Fourteen was uneasy.
Still carrying something like this?
The thirteenth elder brother was standing by, but he was more defensive when looking at the third elder brother.
The third elder brother is hard to figure out.
Anyway, the whole person was shrouded in mist, unlike before where his eagerness for quick success and instant gain was all on his face, which made people feel contemptuous when they saw him.
The current third elder brother is something to be feared and should be kept at a respectful distance.
The third elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother gritted their teeth for a few words and then left.
The thirteenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother also went back separately.
The fourth elder brother followed the ninth elder brother in, and the two brothers went directly to the study.
The little eunuch brought tea, which was mung bean and chrysanthemum tea with rock sugar.
Compared with the bitter lotus leaf and atractylodes tea, the taste of this chrysanthemum tea is very fresh.
Brother Jiu has already called Xiaotang and ordered: "Write down the recipes for lunch."
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "You don't need to write down everything. You don't need to write down the detailed ones. Just write down the home-cooked dishes."
Brother Jiu nodded and told Xiaotang: "Listen to Fourth Master and choose what you want to write."
Xiaotang agreed and retreated.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Making soju from potatoes is just an idea. I haven't tried it yet. Is it possible? Why did you say it in public?"
Brother Jiu asked puzzledly: "Can't you say it? If it works then, it will work. If it doesn't work, then it won't work. The main thing that Guan Shao Guo wants is corn. Now the Shao Guo outside uses sorghum. Corn is similar to it. They are not delicious.
, but it should also be possible to make wine. Potato yields are higher. If it can be used to make wine, that would be great."
The fourth elder brother said sternly: "In the future, if there are any uncertainties like this, just tell the Khan Ama privately, and there is no need to advertise it widely. Otherwise, it will be in vain if there is an error, and people will criticize you."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, and a source-changing app used by old bookworms,]
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. I won't say anything more about it from now on."
The fourth elder brother said again: "Although the twelfth elder brother is diligent, his years and experience are there. You can't let go. You should be more careful."
Brother Ninth replied honestly: "Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I'm afraid that the big guys in the Internal Affairs Office will cause trouble and make me and Twelve take the blame. I've been careful."
The fourth elder brother thought about the prince's reaction today. It was different from the past. His face was less arrogant and more humble.
Now that the prince has changed his temper and is able to bend down and get close to the fifteenth and sixteenth elder brothers, he will also show closeness to these princes' elder brothers in the future.
He said: "If the Crown Prince shows his good will, then go ahead and go to Khan Amma, who is hoping that the Crown Prince will have a good relationship with his brother."
Brother Jiu frowned after hearing this, his displeasure written on his face.
He said bluntly: "Yuqing Palace can't afford to offend him, so why can't he hide away? If he gets into trouble someday, he will be like Rong's mother. Will he be wronged or not?"
The fourth elder brother did not say anything, but he knew that Concubine Rong should not be unjustly accused.
The emperor's father was Qingming, and even if he favored the prince, he would not deal with the concubines in a clumsy manner, especially the important concubines.
The fourth elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "But if you expose your disagreement with the prince, what will the Khan Amma think?"
Brother Ninth was a little irritable.
What can you think?
The mistakes must all be on my own side, there is an order of elders and younger ones, and there is a distinction between seniority and inferiority.
The ninth elder brother drooped, sighed, and said: "Well, I understand, brother, but I'm just being cowardly, and I can't pierce the heart of Khan Ama."
What the fourth brother said and what Shu Shu said actually mean the same thing!
That is, you cannot show disrespect for Yuqing Palace, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
They are all smart people.
Could it be that I am actually a fool?
*
The Holy Master and his entourage left Beisuo and returned to Changchun Garden.
The prince followed in, but instead of going to Qingxi Bookstore, he went directly to Wuyizhai. After picking up the two little brothers, he personally sent them back here.
The eldest brother and the eighth brother returned to Nansuo.
Thinking of what was said at the dinner table, the eldest brother looked at the eighth brother and said: "Just do it if you want to. As long as you stand upright, there is nothing to be afraid of. That's how achievements come. Don't worry about doing errands. After ten years of walking in the six departments, eight
Nian is just a handyman, so he can't be considered a meritorious person."
The eighth elder brother said calmly: "My younger brother is indeed here to do meritorious service. My younger brother hopes to be promoted back to Baylor before the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother are knighted."
The eldest brother said: "Then do your best and don't be timid. With our status, if we offend others, we will offend them, so we don't need to pay attention to it."
The eighth prince nodded.
Taking this step was very difficult for him.
He hesitated for seven days, and in the last few days, he didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights.
But after weighing the pros and cons, he had to admit that good popularity also came with conditions.
If he were still the "youngest son among the older princes" who was favored three years ago, he would mostly be faced with kind smiles.
In the past three years, he has been in a miserable situation, and his kindness before seemed a lot false.
Only when he stands at a high place can he be truly popular.
From a low position, the so-called good popularity becomes a joke...
