Arriving in the courtyard of Ning'an Hall, Shu Shu heard Ni Guzhu's cheerful laughter.
Shu Shu listened and also laughed.
Today Niguzhu received many gifts.
Since they were here as guests, the female family members who were meeting the triplets for the first time prepared gifts for the children in advance.
The little brother's is just a small inkstone, a jade pendant and so on; the little princess's place is even more exquisitely prepared, such as a small gold bracelet with filigree inlays, a tourmaline bracelet, coral earrings, gem buttons, etc.
No matter how much it costs, it looks bright in color and suitable for little girls to wear.
Everyone knows that Brother Jiu and his wife are not short of money, so the gifts are too shabby and they are embarrassed to hand out, but not everyone's life is easy.
If your life is ordinary, turn to the exquisite.
There is a kang of brocade boxes placed right now, and Ni Guzhu is looking at the new ones.
Mrs. Bo and Prince Kang Taifujin were sitting by the kang, talking to Ni Guzhu.
"nice……"
Ni Guzhu held up the filigree red gold bracelet and said to Madam Bo.
"Who sent it?"
Niguzhuka paused for a moment, thinking a little hard.
I really saw too many outsiders today.
"Ma Ma?" Ni Guzhu hesitated and said, "Skinny Ma Ma..."
Shu Shu lifted the curtain and came in, boasting: "It's rare that so many people have taken note of it."
Ni Guzhu immediately put down the small gold bracelet on his hand and rushed to Shu Shu: "Eni! Eni!"
Shu Shu bent down and picked her up.
After a busy day, mother and daughter met each other.
Tai Fujin, the Prince of Kang, was listening and said to his uncle: "This should be the Prince of Anjun, Fujin. She is the youngest among the elders Fujin..."
Prince An was already young, and Prince Fujin was still a step-in-law, so he was a bit younger than the elder Fujins.
The uncle said: "Their family raises their daughters according to Han rules, and they are all slender..."
Tai Fujin shook his head and said: "You are such a good daughter of an honorable noble, why did you teach the wrong way? This body has good bones, which were raised when I was a child. If I didn't keep them strong when I was a child, I will suffer now when I go out."
Shu Shu was sitting next to her holding Ni Guzhu, listening to the two of them talking, and asked curiously: "Is Empress Tong also of such a stature?"
She has only seen two girls from the Tong family, one is Prince Fujin of Anjun and the other is Concubine Tong. They are both more graceful in stature and look more delicate and youthful.
There were several empresses in later generations, but they all looked the same.
Tai Fujin nodded and said: "It was like this before the Tong family entered the customs. The girls were kept in the backyard and were not called out. They were all quiet and quiet."
This was talking about the late Empress Xiaoyi. Shu Shu asked this question and stopped mentioning it.
But she remembered that Li Gege and Song Gege from Sibeile Mansion were both well-educated.
There is also the little rice cake that will be the most favored in the future, also from the Han Army Banner.
It seems that the fourth elder brother’s preference has its roots.
Mrs. Bo knew Shu Shu best, and when she saw the smile in her eyes, she knew there were other reasons.
But in front of Tai Fujin and the children, Mrs. Bo didn't ask her.
Taifu Jin said: "It sounds very lively today, and the atmosphere is full of excitement. Will the banquet held at Dunjun Prince's Mansion follow the same rules as here?"
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "Tenth brother has booked a good Yan Chi banquet, and also booked a small opera company to come and sing..."
Those who could perform in front of the female relatives were all teenage actors who had not yet matured, and the plays they were given were also lively plays such as monkey plays.
It's also a good time for the ladies to pass the time.
Taifu Jin said: "It's good to save worry."
Whether it's Brother Jiu or Prince Dun's Palace, they are all wealthy masters.
As the tenth elder brother, it is not easy for him to get too close to the clan, so he can just deal with it by having a banquet like this.
Before dinner, Brother Jiu also took a nap and woke up.
Although he felt a little nauseous and had no appetite after drinking two more drinks, he still came to Ning'an Hall to accompany the guests.
Although there are many people in Dong E's family, as far as the head of the house where Shu Shu's family is located, there are only two close relatives, Mrs. Bo and Tai Fujin, and the others are far apart.
Brother Jiu was a little more close and respectful to Tai Fujin, who also "loved the house and the bird".
Fengsheng and Akdan also came over, and three generations of grandparents had a family dinner.
In front of the three children, there is a huanghuali food plate about one foot wide and one and a half feet long. On it is a nine-inch plate with a piece of steamed fish with pickled bones, scrambled persimmon eggs, and fried cabbage cores.
, there is also a piece of millet cake and a piece of rice cake.
There are also specially customized chopsticks with chains and a smaller spoon.
Surprisingly, the three little ones can eat directly without the help of a nanny.
And it was obvious that they had been taught before. When the elders were picking up the dishes, the three little guys started to take action.
Except for Niguzhu who ate quickly and spilled vegetables, Fengsheng and Akdan ate very cleanly.
Tai Fujin could only praise him in front of the ninth elder brother, saying: "My elder brother has taught me well. Such a small child can feed himself."
Brother Jiu was not greedy for merit either. He shook his head and said, "It's all Fujin who takes care of the children..."
Seeing Brother Jiu's lack of appetite, Shu Shu knew that the aftereffects of his drunkenness had not gone away yet, so he ordered Ging Guo to serve a bowl of simplified noodle tea.
The rice flour is batter, only sesame salt is sprinkled on top, and no sesame sauce is added, which makes it very refreshing to eat.
Millet noodles are alkaline and can neutralize stomach acid.
Ni Guzhu had almost finished eating what was on his plate, and his mouth watered as he looked at Brother Jiu's noodle tea.
Brother Jiu scooped out two spoons and gave them to her.
Ni Guzhu was not in a hurry to eat, but pointed to the small bowls of his two brothers.
On weekdays, when the three siblings are in front of each other, Shu Shu and Brother Jiu must pay attention to fairness. Ni Guzhu took note of this.
The ninth elder brother dug some more for his two sons.
The two of us had noodle tea together.
After dinner, the couple accompanied their three children for a walk in the greenhouse, picked half a plate of red persimmons and brought them to Ning'an Hall, before leaving with Fengsheng and Akdan.
Ni Guzhu was crazy, so he went out to meet guests this morning, and was accompanied by two elders in the afternoon. When it was time to light the lamp, he couldn't open his eyes, so he was carried away by his nanny.
Tai Fujin and Mrs. Bo also briefly freshened up and put on their clothes outside while talking to their aunt and sister-in-law.
"The child is so young, and when he is naughty, Shu Shu is so cruel to teach him to be so well-behaved. He is just following his second sister-in-law..."
Taifujin was a generation removed from the family, and thinking about the sensibleness of his three children, he felt a little distressed and couldn't help but talk to his wife.
The uncle said: "Feng Sheng and Akdan are quiet and sensible, and they don't ask for much attention. Ni Guzhu was indeed naughty before, but he taught him a serious lesson twice... It's better to be cruel now than to worry about it in the future.
Qiang, whether it is little brother or little princess, if you teach them well, the children will be successful in the future, and the parents will have peace of mind."
Tai Fujin knew this truth and said with emotion: "It's rare. I am still a child, so I have to teach my children. I am so sensible."
Whenever you marry outside, there is room for ignorance.
But the royal family...
If Prince Fujin is not sensible, he may not be able to "recuperate" even if he wants to.
The reason why Bafu Jin is in the current situation is because of his birth, so the royal family did not punish him harshly.
Mrs. Bo looked at Xiao Sannian and felt much more at ease. She said: "Don't worry too much. With Shu Shu's temperament, he can live through good times and bad times. Think about what we were worried about when the marriage decree was announced two years ago. Now we are like this
Life has gotten better..."
Tai Fujin nodded and said no more, feeling regretful in his heart.
triplets...
How great would it be if this were her grandson?
However, the aunt and nephew had already talked about it, and Tai Fujin also knew about the impact of incest marriage on heirs.
Although there are many cousins who get married and have successful children, there are also many who have unfavorable children.
Her son is her biological son, and her niece is also her biological niece. If Tai Fujin really had to choose, she wouldn't dare to gamble...

Main house, east room.
The couple soaked their feet and got on the kang to rest.
Thinking that the day before yesterday and today were both peaceful, Shu Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
She told Brother Jiu: "In the past few years, every time we have a banquet, something big or small has happened, but this time it has calmed down."
Brother Jiu thinks about it, this is really the case.
He thought about the reason and immediately laughed and said: "The root of the problem is the Fourteenth. These two times, I didn't post anything to the Fourteenth faction, and everyone stopped..."
Shu Shu thought about Brother Fourteen's petty thinking, frowned slightly, and said, "You won't blame us for this reason, right?"
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said: "Let him go. Nothing happened to him in the past two years. It was against the rules. Others were just hiding in the palace when they were in school. Now they are just back on track."
Shu Shu didn't say anything else, but she remembered it in her heart.
Among the princes, the character of the fourteenth elder brother is not very trustworthy.
You must know that in history, there was another "Eagle Killing Incident" that completely ruined the father-son relationship between Kangxi and the Eighth Prince. It also became a watershed in the career of the Eighth Prince. He officially lost the qualification to seize the throne and left the stage.
Go behind the scenes.
The one who took advantage later was the Fourteenth Prince who took over the entire "Ba Ye Party".
Although many historians also suspect that the fourth prince was responsible for attacking his political opponents, it is not that easy to plot against the eighth prince without leaving any trace.
After all, the emperor is involved, and if there is even the slightest clue, things could easily fall apart and lead to anger.
At that time, the Eighth Prince had already been insulted by Kangxi in front of all the civil and military officials, and the title of Baylor was also demoted. Although the later ones were granted the title back, they were still far behind the previous brothers who were granted the title of prince or county prince.
Brother Si did such a risky thing, but he didn't gain much.
On the contrary, it is the fourteenth elder brother. Because the eighth elder brother is very popular, he has always been a follower.
The couple were both tired. After talking for a while, they both fell asleep.
When Brother Jiu opened his eyes the next day, he was already Chen Zheng.
It was okay yesterday, but I have a headache again today.
Another day when I don’t want to go to the Yamen...
Brother Jiu hesitated whether to ask for leave, but thinking that he planned to ask for leave tomorrow, he could only force himself to come out.
The tenth brother hadn't left yet, so he came out of his house when he knew there was something going on here.
Seeing Brother Ninth drooping, he couldn't help but worry: "Brother Ninth is tired?"
Brother Jiu nodded and shook his head: "It's not just that I'm tired, I'm a little drunk from the wine..."
Yesterday I prepared a lot of drinks, including all kinds of shochu, rice wine, fruit wine, etc.
Brother Ten said: "Brother Ninth will still drink rice wine from now on, it won't make you drunk..."

I went to the hospital for a long time today and went through two departments for re-examination. The liver damage is better, but I still need to take medicine. The surgery at the end of last month was not completed, and the doctor asked me to make up for it. I am scared, and I plan to take it slow. Three, four
Yue said again, reminding everyone again to take good care of your body.
