Chapter 1575: Uncle and Nephew (rolling to ask for monthly votes)
We have to pick people up tomorrow, so Shu Shu sends out ginkgo in the afternoon, and Xiao Song goes into the garden to report.
In Huichun Villa, Concubine Yi was a little surprised after hearing this: "I didn't expect it to be so soon..."
I thought it would be warmer before I could pick anyone up.
Then she thought that Brother Seventeen would be enlightened in a few days, and it would be hard to delay when the time came, so she knew she could only choose these days.
Since this was reported to the emperor, Concubine Yi nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu went into the garden to pick up someone.
Concubine Yi had already asked her nanny to prepare spare clothes for her two younger brothers.
Brother Jiu brought Shu Shu in to say hello, sat down for a while and then left.
All the concubines live in this area, and even during the day, Brother Jiu cannot stay for long.
The seventeenth and eighteenth brothers both have short legs, so they are both held by nannies.
The Eighteenth Brother rarely comes out, and even though the vegetation is withered, he still feels strange and his eyes are a bit weak.
Seventeenth Brother acted like a young adult and asked about the nanny, "Have you brought any gifts for your nieces and nephews?"
The nanny responded and said: "Bring it with you, I've already asked you to put it on."
Only then did Brother Seventeen look relieved.
The eighteenth elder brother looked at the seventeenth elder brother with a confused face: "My nephew...where is my niece?"
The seventeenth elder brother said: "Ninth brother, where is the ninth sister-in-law's house..."
"Sister-in-law Ninth... Rice Krispie Treats..."
Brother 18 sounds familiar.
Brother Seventeen nodded and said: "Not only rice krispie treats, but also the orange gummy candies and corn gummies here are from Sister-in-law Ninth..."
The chubby face of the eighteenth elder brother became more lively, and he turned to look at Shu Shu: "Sister-in-law Ninth, Sister-in-law Ninth..."
Shu Shu took two steps closer and responded with a smile: "Hey, I am Sister-in-law Jiu..."
The group of people walked out of the small east gate and walked diagonally across to Beiliu Suo.
After entering the second house, the couple took the two young brothers directly to the main room.
Even if you plan to go fishing on the ice, it will be warm at noon.
It's cold in the morning, so you can play in the house.
The goldfish I bought yesterday are all in the west room. They use a short porcelain tank from the flower and bird shop, but there is no raised base to prevent the children from having trouble watching it.
Now he is one and a half feet tall, so he looks just right sitting on a stool.
The two young brothers were taken directly to the west room. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by several blue and white porcelain jars on the floor.
When they saw clearly the goldfish swimming inside, neither of them could move their eyes away.
Seeing this, the nanny hurriedly took off the outer coat, revealing the quilted jacket underneath, and also removed the hood on her head.
"fish……"
The eighteenth elder brother pointed to the porcelain vat and said to the seventeenth elder brother.
"This is a goldfish. The imperial grandmother also raised it..."
Brother Seventeen said.
After all, he was older. The seventeenth brother thought about business and raised his head and said: "Where are the ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, nephew and niece?"
Brother Jiu said: "It's in the back room, I'll ask someone to bring it over."
Shu Shu said: "I'll pick it up..."
Brother Jiu accompanied the two younger brothers first and went to the backyard comfortably.
Fengsheng and the other three had just finished eating their egg custard, and when they saw Shu Shu, they all came over to her like little chickens.
"Eni, Eni..."
The one with the loud voice is Ni Guzhu, the one with the sweet smile is Fengsheng, and the one who reaches out to pull Shushu's sleeves is Akdan.
Several children have already walked very steadily, but it can also be seen that Ni Guzhu walks the most steadily and fastest, and Akdan walks slower.
Shu Shu praised each one.
The uncle said: "Did you take it out?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "Well, we're in the main room now. I'll come over and take them to the ceremony..."
When she said this, she smiled and said: "There are younger uncles over there in Dutong Mansion, and there are younger uncles here. Speaking of which, the eighteenth elder brother is eight months older than them. Maybe he can go to the study in the future.
They are all from the same group..."
Mrs. Bo also laughed and said: "When it comes to clan relations, Fengsheng and the others are not considered juniors. They also have many nephews and grand-nephews..."
This mainly refers to the princes and grandchildren of Prince Liye.
For example, Nersu is the nephew of Fengsheng and the others.
Going even further, some red-belt branches have been passed down two or three generations longer than the royal family for more than a hundred years.
After the nanny had put on the clothes of the three children, Shu Shu took them to the main room.
The seventeenth and eighteenth elders no longer looked at the goldfish bowl and sat on the kang eating oranges.
Seeing several children being brought in, Brother Seventeen knew they were nephews and nieces, and quickly put down the oranges in his hands.
The eighteenth brother's eyes widened.
He met the three children once last year, but he had forgotten all about it.
Fengsheng and the other three saw two more children sitting on the kang, and they all looked at them curiously.
They can't remember either.
When all five children were placed on the kang, Brother Seventeen immediately puffed up his chest and said, "I am Uncle Seventeen!"
Fengsheng and Akdan both watched without moving.
Ni Guzhu stood up and went over, sat down next to Brother Seventeen, took Brother Seventeen's hand and said: "Uncle Seventeen, happy New Year..."
Although she has short hair like her two brothers, she is wearing a pink gown.
Brother Seventeen beamed and said, "Happy New Year, niece!"
Fortunately, this time there was no need for Ni Guzhu to recite it a second time. The seventeenth elder brother asked his nanny to bring out the gifts he gave to his nephews and nieces.
Three brothers and sisters, one share each.
Fengsheng and Akdan each had a silver dagger, an unedged child's knife that could be hung on their belts.
Niguzhu’s is a Russian matryoshka doll, which is red.
Niguzhu immediately wanted to reach out, but restrained himself for a moment, looking at Shu Shu next to her. When she nodded, she hugged her in her arms.
Seeing his elder brother handing out things to the three children, the eighteenth elder brother sat behind Akdan and waited. Naturally, there was nothing, so he asked confusedly: "Where's mine?"
Brother Seventeen smiled and touched his head and said: "Today I am bringing things to my nephews. I will make up for them later. Next, it is your turn to give gifts to your nephews..."
The eighteenth brother was very obedient. He nodded and looked at the package opened by the nanny.
There are also three gifts inside. The Fengsheng brothers are the same, both are made of silver nine-link rings, and Ni Guzhu's is a gold sachet.
The eighteenth elder brother listened to the seventeenth elder brother and distributed the things to the three children.
Ni Guzhu took the eighteenth brother's hand and said to Shu Shu: "Eni, I'm not an uncle, I'm a brother..."
As she said that, she pointed at Brother Eighteen, then at Akdan, and said: "Brother outside..."
Akdan looks similar to Brother Shiba.
The eighteenth elder brother is a bit fatter than Akdan, but his eyebrows are still there, and Ni Guzhu can tell them right away.
Shu Shu sat by the kang and patiently explained to her: "Your second brother looks like your Mama, and your eighteenth uncle also looks like your Mama, so they look alike."
Ni Guzhu's face was filled with confusion.
What is Mama?
Akdan said from the side: "Just like eldest brother and seventh uncle..."
The memory of last year is not vivid, but the memory of a few days ago is.
Ni Guzhu remembered that there was a seventh uncle in Guolomafa's family, who was also a child and looked similar to his eldest brother.
She felt as if she understood something, but she didn't quite understand, so she said, "Then who is the same as me?"
She looked at Shu Shu and Brother Jiu, watching eagerly.
Brother Jiu reached out to pick her up and said, "Ama is just like you. Isn't this just right..."
Ni Guzhu looked back at Brother Eighteen and said, "No, I want children to be like me..."
Brother Jiu was disgusted and snorted: "Then just wait. Later, Khan Mafa will give you a little aunt and uncle. Maybe there will be one like you..."
Niguzhu chuckled and said with satisfaction: "One for each person, Enie said, this is called fairness..."
Children at such an old age have already begun to have self-awareness.
I like to say no, and I also like to circle my own things.
After moving to Haidian, several children lived in the same courtyard and spent more time together every day. Shu Shu was worried that the children would have disputes and frictions, and they would have to nag and explain the rules over and over again.
Everyone's toys are also clearly assigned.
Ni Guzhu also has a basic understanding that he cannot steal his brothers' things. Everyone's things belong to everyone.
You can't always let Enie hold her, Enie is the Enie of three people.
The seventeenth elder brother was nearby and heard the exchange between the ninth elder brother and Ni Guzhu, and praised: "My niece is so smart..."
After hearing this, Ni Guzhu knew that it was a good word, and laughed even more happily. He slipped out of the arms of the ninth elder brother, came to the side of the seventeenth elder brother, hugged him and said, "Uncle Seventeenth is also the best."
Already..."
Brother Seventeen was a little embarrassed by being hugged, and said with a red face: "You shouldn't hug me, I should hug you..."
Ni Guzhu shook his head and said: "You can't hold me..."
Brother Seventeen doesn't believe it.
He is no longer a child, he is six years old this year!
In a few days, the concubine will come with the queen mother, and he will start studying in the study.
Although his days as a disciple of Noah were postponed for one year, the days of his enlightenment were not postponed.
Seventeenth Brother stretched out his arms and imitated Ni Guzhu's movements to hug people, but he really didn't close his arms.
The seventeenth elder brother was sarcastic and a little embarrassed.
When the eighteenth elder brother saw this, he was very considerate and said: "I can hug you, but my brother still hugs me..."
Fengsheng said from the side: "My sister can hug me, and she can also hug my brother..."
Several children were chattering, comparing the length of their arms and comparing their height.
The seventeenth elder brother, Ni Guzhu and Fengsheng are all honest children, but the eighteenth elder brother and Akdan are tiptoe.
Shu Shu originally planned to let the three children be carried back to the backyard after seeing the gift, but five children would not be able to take care of them, and it would be easy to neglect the guests.
But when I saw the five children getting together and actually playing together, I changed my mind.
It's good, the kids stay with the kids.
Seeing the little actions of the eighteenth elder brother and Akdan, Shu Shu was very surprised and said to the ninth elder brother: "The eighteenth elder brother looks lazy, and Akdan also seems to be able to move without moving.
I thought neither of them should be strong-tempered..."
I didn't expect to make a mistake.
These two people are the ones with the winning mentality.
The ninth elder brother said: "Akdan has a good temper. He doesn't compete with his elder brother and sister, but is stronger in front of others. The eighteenth elder brother is a bit sluggish and not as honest as the seventeenth elder brother..."
Shu Shu looked at it thoughtfully.
Akdan's temperament is a bit his own. He had a similar temper when he was a child. At home, he was kind and friendly to his younger brothers and did not fight with them. But outside, he was a hot-tempered little gege.
But the temper of the eighteenth elder brother is not similar to that of the fifth elder brother and the ninth elder brother.
This... is a little brother who is smarter than his brothers?!
