Chapter 1883: Not wanting to grow up and not wanting to get old
Chapter 1884 Don’t want to grow up and don’t want to get old
Brother Jiu was a little confused when he heard it. He listened to his son's words again and finally understood what he meant.
Since the children were vaccinated and were able to go out, the couple started talking to them about their family relationships.
There was a Mafa living in the palace, and Ma Ma, who gave birth to Ama, was also in the palace.
In addition to the mammies who gave birth to Amma, there were many mamas in the palace who gave birth to uncles and uncles.
Fengsheng said it so clearly because he recorded this complicated relationship.
Brother Jiu looked at Fengsheng and was dumbfounded: "I have written it all down, you still know a lot!"
Fengsheng was praised, he pursed his lips and smiled, nodded and said: "Remember it, there is Mafa in the palace, and there are many mamas..."
"Ha ha……"
Brother Jiu couldn't help laughing.
Fengsheng was a little at a loss when he saw the ninth elder brother, while Akdan puffed out his cheeks and looked at the ninth elder brother.
I still remember what happened in the morning, thinking that Brother Jiu was laughing at them.
Brother Jiu saw that his sons had misunderstood, so he stopped laughing and explained, "I am so happy. I am glad that my eldest son is smart. When I was as old as you, I couldn't remember this."
Fengsheng then smiled and said: "Brother also remembers, sister..."
At this point, he hesitated and said, "My sister listened to it twice and then memorized it."
Ni Guzhu is not stupid, but apart from eating, he doesn't care much about anything else, so he seems not as smart as his two brothers.
Brother Jiu felt even more strange when he saw that he still knew how to say good things for his sister.
What were you like when you were four years old?
I don't seem to remember it clearly.
Most of his memories when he was a child came from the different palaces, and they were clearer only after he was two years old.
During my time in Yikun Palace, it seemed that besides running around all over the palace, I would be carried to Yongshou Palace by my grandma.
Also, the imperial concubine’s mother brought her tenth prince over.
Most of the others I can't remember.
The ninth elder brother and Yourong Yan touched the eldest son's head and said softly: "You are smarter than Amma, so let me follow you..."
Fengsheng looked at Brother Jiu and said seriously: "Eni said that I followed Amma. I can speak Mongolian and Mandarin well, and I am as smart as Amma."
Brother Jiu smiled and said: "You are the son of Amma and Enie. Naturally, half of you follow Enie and half of you follow Amma."
How come there are such well-behaved and sensible children?
Is it better to be better than blue?
Shu Shu is the eldest sister and has taken care of her younger brothers since they were young. She has also taken care of her younger brother since she was a child, and she looks like an older brother.
He looks old at the age of three. Facing such an eldest son, Brother Ninth feels that he is impeccable.
This is the seed that establishes a family.
Akdan listened to his father and brother's conversation without interrupting.
It's just that his face was a little confused, as if there was something he couldn't figure out.
Fengsheng saw something strange in Akdan and said, "What's wrong with my brother?"
Akdan shook his head and said: "Nothing..."
As he said that, he looked at Brother Jiu and said, "Is Mafa's home Amma's home?"
Brother Ninth: "..."
If you say otherwise, that would be unfilial, and it is also your own home.
It was with a guilty conscience that I could only say that it was once my home.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Yes, Ama went out early this morning and went home to kowtow to you Mafa and Ma Ma for the New Year. It's just that Ama is getting older and she doesn't have a new year's purse...
…”
"Is it also Uncle Ten's home?"
Akdan tilted his little head and asked.
"Uh-huh……"
Brother Jiu nodded: "It's still your fifth uncle's and fourth uncle's home. Everyone has gone back this morning..."
Akdan understood, his eye circles slowly turned red, and there were tears in his eyes.
Brother Jiu almost jumped up, "Okay, why are you crying again?"
"What's wrong? Did Amma say something wrong?"
Brother Jiu squatted down, looked into Akdan's eyes and said.
Among the three children, Akdan was more intelligent than Fengsheng.
This child was attached to Shu Shu and seemed not to be very close to his Ama. However, after he could recognize people, he knew that he was Ama and he never refused to be hugged by him.
"Ama won't live with her original family, and she won't live with Uncle Ten..."
Akdan whimpered.
Before Brother Jiu could understand what he meant, Fengsheng had already hugged Akdan.
"We are different from Amma. We live with Amma and Eni, and we are not separated..."
After saying this, Brother Jiu understood.
When I was young, my parents and brothers were part of the same family, but people have to grow up...
When I grow up, I become a family with my wife and children.
Ordinary people, three generations and four generations live under one roof, but in the royal family, except for the prince, no one else has this qualification.
Akdan was aware of the subtleties and saw in himself the current situation of the separation of his relatives.
Akdan was still looking at Brother Ninth, hoping that he would agree with his brother's words.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, you are different from Amma..."
Akdan burst into laughter.
Fengsheng also showed his millet teeth.
Brother Jiu sat by the kang and felt that time was really flying by.
He still remembered the pitiful appearance of his two brothers as infants. Now, father and son can sit together and reason.
The children are all attached to their parents. It is not convenient to see Eni these days, and the Fengsheng brothers are getting closer to Jiu Age.
Fengsheng remembered that he and his younger siblings had names, and asked, "Does the little brother in the west wing have a name?"
Brother Jiu understands that this is to distinguish him from the little brother next door.
??????????.??????
Brother Jiu then said: "That's your third brother, he doesn't have a name yet. When he grows up to your age, I will ask you Mafa to give him a name."
Akdan said: "Amma, when are you going to learn to write? I want to write my own name and that of my eldest brother, and I also want to write the names of Amma, Enie, my sister and Mama..."
Brother Jiu said: "When the Lantern Festival is out, you will start taking classes to learn to read. As for writing, don't be in a hurry. Your hands are too small to hold the pen now. You will learn to write next year or the year after."
There is also a master of calligraphy in the house, Cao Yueying, who occupied a vacancy and received a gift from the Four Seasons here. He is a calligraphy teacher prepared by the couple for their children.
Akdan didn't say anything else. Fengsheng asked curiously: "Ama, we have learned Mongolian and Mandarin. Do we still need to learn these in class?"
Madam Bo teaches Mandarin here, and Mongolian is taught by Aunt Qi in primary school.
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Learn these and other things as well. I'll discuss it later with you, Eni, and see what you all learn..."
The father and son talked and passed the time, and it was evening.
The two brothers had an early dinner.
Brother Jiu was impatient and went back to eat by himself, so he ordered someone to send a message and his lunch box was also delivered here.
The father and son sat down at the Kang table.
The two younger brothers ate various steamed buns and steamed buns, while the ninth elder brother had vegetarian porridge and a few side dishes.
Small steamed buns are stuffed with bean paste, custard, jujube paste, etc.
Children all love sweet food. The fillings in the steamed buns have no added sugar, but they have their own sweetness.
The two brothers chose steamed buns to eat.
Brother Jiu was eating the porridge. Seeing how delicious they were eating, he was also greedy.
But when he saw that there were not many steamed buns left, his chopsticks went for the steamed buns.
After taking a bite, he looked at the two brothers.
No wonder they all choose steamed buns to eat, these are vegetable buns.
Either vegan or semi-vegetarian, there are vegetables.
Brother Jiu looked at his son and felt very strange.
He thought about how Shu Shu didn't like eating vegetables when she was a child...
When the dining table was removed, Brother Jiu and the two of them tossed pots in the room for a while before getting ready to leave.
Fengsheng held Brother Jiu's hand and said affectionately: "Ama will come tomorrow too..."
Akdan's little face also showed a bit of expectation, and he reminded: "I'm going to pick vegetables!"
Brother Jiu thought about the news he received from the palace in the morning. This year, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Holy Spirit went to Changchun Garden to accompany the Queen Mother.
There is no need to go to Dian Mao tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Just go to the palace to see him off in the morning the day after tomorrow.
He nodded and said: "Come here, Ama, let's pick vegetables first, then see your foreheads, and then Ama will take you to play with the little brother next door..."
You can't hold it back in the house all the time. You can go to the next door for a walk.
The two little guys nodded with expectation...

West wing, north room.
Shu Shu was also having dinner, and sitting with her was Mrs. Bo.
Mrs. Bo came here specifically to have dinner with Shu Shu, and was worried that she would not eat properly.
Shu Shu said helplessly: "Ah Mou still thinks I'm a child, I know what's good..."
That being said, the bland confinement meal makes me full just by looking at it.
Shu Shu ate a piece of millet cake, pointed to the two bowls of chicken soup, and said to Ging Guo: "Two wet nurses for a reward..."
Since you have decided to wean yourself, there is no need to drink this watery soup.
She looked at the two remaining pieces of porridge and wanted to reward them again.
The uncle stopped me and said, "I want to drink the pig liver porridge, it will remove lochia; I also want to drink a few sips of the rouge rice and red date porridge to disperse the blood and detoxify..."
Same salty, same sweet.
Shu Shu pointed and said: "There is no sweet porridge and salty porridge to drink together, just leave one..."
Seeing that Mrs. Bo was helpless, Shu Shu hurriedly pulled the pork liver porridge in front of him and asked Dongyue to send the bowl of rouge rice and red date porridge to Xiaotang.
"I'll let the wet nurse feed me tonight. Tomorrow I want to eat Sixi meatballs and fried shrimp cakes..."
Shu Shu drank pork liver porridge, looking forward to coming early tomorrow.
What she wants to eat the most is spicy food, but she also knows that those foods conflict with the medicinal properties, so she can only settle for the second best and eat meat first...

Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
Kangxi sat alone, facing a table of meals, feeling a little lonely in his heart.
On weekdays, it's good to have concubines come over to accompany you, but today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, it's not convenient.
Although he was used to eating alone, he still looked forward to having someone to accompany him on days like this.
Starting today, he will be fifty years old.
At this age, no matter how he felt, he was neither old nor in his prime.
In the twelfth lunar month, the princes and ministers went on the watch list once, and they are planning to continue to go on the watch list after the new year.
This time it's not about honoring the emperor, it's about celebrating the Longevity Festival.
Kangxi was not preparing for Daqing.
He wanted to find someone to talk to.
He wanted to reminisce about his boyhood and youth, as if he were not old yet.
He is an emperor, so whatever comes to his mind is what he thinks.
If it's not easy to say that the concubine is accompanying him, he can go there.
Just going somewhere else is similar to going to Qianqing Palace, which is easy for people to overthink.
But the room was so quiet that I really didn't want to stay there.
Kangxi stood up and ordered Liang Jiugong: "Pass the chariot to... Zhongcui Palace..."
