After all, because they were not familiar with this place, Ni Guzhu was not afraid of strangers and was able to handle things with ease; Hailan and Tana were still a little cautious.
Guarjia held Tana's little hand and whispered: "I would like to thank my eldest aunt and two sisters for taking care of me."
Tana blushed, nodded, looked at Dafujin and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for the hospitality..."
After saying that, he looked at the two cousins again and said, "Thank you, third sister and fourth sister..."
Her voice was not loud, with a bit of vibrato, but her eyes did not dodge.
Shu Shu and Qi Fujin looked at each other.
Someone taught me that it is different after all. It looks much better than before.
Dafujin said with a smile: "We are all family members, so you are welcome. I came here once and recognized the door. When I came back, I had time, so I brought my sisters over."
Tana nodded: "Yeah."
Sangege looked away from Guarjia and said to Tana: "We will go over to see you when we turn around, and also see the little duck behind Beisuo."
Tana said: "In addition to small ducks, there are also big ducks, which can also be roasted and eaten."
Sangege laughed and said, "Okay, then let's catch the ducks then."
Everyone looked at Hailan again.
Hailan held Qi Fujin's arm with a smile on her face: "Rabbit... and rabbit..."
Today she came over as a guest, and the gift she brought to her two cousins was a pair of rabbits.
So Hailan said, looking at the third princess of Yuqing Palace and the second princess of Sibeile Mansion: "Sister... do you want a rabbit?"
After lunch, the little sisters had been playing with rabbits for a long time.
Who doesn’t love furry little things that don’t have to worry about being bitten or scratched like kittens or puppies?
Yuqing Gong nodded and said: "I want..."
Er Gege from Sibeile Mansion said excitedly: "What colors are they all in? Are there any white ones? I love white ones."
The pair of little rabbits I received today are one white and one gray.
"have……"
Hailan nodded, stretched out his little hand, and said: "White...black...yellow...grey...the four colors..."
Ergege said happily: "Great, then I want the white one."
Hailan made a note and looked at the three grids of Yuqing Palace.
Yuqinggong thought for a moment and said, "I want a yellow child. If we hug each other back, we won't mess around anymore."
Hailan looked up at Qi Fujin.
Qi Fujin endured his excitement and watched his daughter getting along with her cousins, but she still felt different.
Indeed, as Shu Shu said, her daughter does not need anyone to take care of her. She may speak a little slowly and walk a little late, but there is nothing wrong with her mind.
She nodded and said, "Yes, Enie has taken note of it and will send it over later."
There are quite a few rabbits in the Second North Institute, but the rabbits in Baylor Mansion are rich, so I just sent someone back to pick some.
Nigu Zhuxu had talked too much before and was not in a hurry to speak now.
Only when she saw that the adults were about to leave after greetings, she became a little anxious and asked Shu Shu: "Enie, Enie, is this treat only for one time? Isn't it a turn, or is it a return invitation or something?"
I usually have sisters as companions when I go to school, but it's not the same as today.
Children all like to play with older children, and Niguzhu is no exception.
In this way, the sisters get together, eat, drink and have fun, which makes people happy and forget about Shu.
In a word, adults and children all looked at Ni Guzhu, thinking about her words, and looked at the three grids of Yuqing Palace.
Although it is a family ritual for the little princesses to get together and call people according to their elders and younger ones.
But there is a difference between honor and inferiority.
If the second princess of Sibeile Mansion is the eldest daughter, she can still be invited according to her age, but she is a concubine, so the next round of invitations can only be based on the ranking of her father's generation.
Yuqing Palace Sangege said openly and openly: "I, Eni, told me before to learn from my two sisters today. Later I also want to send posts to my sisters and sisters, so that they can pick green apricots and western pomegranates."
The apricots in the garden are producing well this year."
Ni Guzhu was immediately satisfied and said: "Then let's wait. I like to eat green apricots. Green apricots soaked in honey are delicious..."
Seeing that Shu Shu and others were about to leave with the little princesses from each family, the nanny of Yuqing Palace said to Da Fujin: "Da Fujin, we will go back first with the young master."
Dafujin did not answer, but looked at Sangege.
San Gege said: "Don't worry, I will send my sister back, just in time to pay my respects to my second aunt."
Seeing this, Si Gege took the hand of Er Gege from Sibeile Mansion and said: "I'll take advantage and send the second sister as a gift."
Er Gege frowned and said: "Then the fourth sister also wants to try our family's pastries..."
Si Gege smiled and said: "If you want to try it, you have to eat it and take it with you."
The sisters-in-law also smiled when they saw the little sisters responding like adults.
To be honest, these cousins get along well and are closer than half-sisters.
The group of people came out of their starting point. Dafu Jin brought San Gege and Si Gege personally sent them out.
Shu Shu and others took a few little princesses with them and got into their respective carriages.
With such a commotion, no matter whether it was the two houses next door or the three houses next door, there was no movement.
Before Shu Shu got in the car, she glanced at Er Gege and saw the little girl holding hands with Si Gege, with joy and no strange expression on their faces.
This is really a smart kid, and he has a good relationship with Si Fujin, so he won't make random guesses.
Dafujin also glanced at Sansuo.
After being my grandma for a few years, she naturally recognizes everyone's character.
Sifu Jin has a kind-hearted nature. If she comes to pick up people in today's situation, she will show off the princess who is inconvenient to come out.
The three grids of Yuqing Palace with no one to pick them up will also look pitiful...

In a comfortable carriage.
Niguzhu was sitting in Shushu's arms, showing off that he had received a gift.
"This is from the third sister, this is from the fourth sister, this is from the eldest aunt..."
Sangege prepared a mini jewelry box, which contained a pair of glass bracelets and a pair of tourmaline earrings, both suitable for little girls to wear.
Si Ge Ge prepared a set of comb boxes, which contained two combs and two grates.
What Dafujin prepared was an embroidery gift box. Inside was a ronghua and a pair of handkerchiefs embroidered with red pythons and red lilies.
Ni Guzhu couldn't put it down, pointed at the python and said: "Well, this is me..."
This gift is not expensive, and it is really thoughtful.
This is probably because I wanted to embroider a dragon, but because I wanted to avoid taboos, I embroidered a python.
The gifts received by the other people should be similar, and the embroidery all has the zodiac signs of the little princesses.
Sure enough, Ni Guzhu was already saying: "The third sister's glory is embroidered with rabbits, and the eldest sister's embroidered little tiger..."
Shu Shu thinks that Hailan will like rabbits, but Tana may not like little tigers.
Ni Guzhu said: "The little tiger looks like a cat and is very furry. My eldest sister said that it looks similar to her 'General Jin', but 'General Jin' has no patterns on its body."
Shu Shu understood. It should be a little tiger that looks like an orange cat...

In Qi Fujin's carriage.
Qi Fujin hugged his daughter and said, "Ni Guzhu is a younger sister, not an older sister. From now on, you can also learn to be like your older sisters and learn to take care of your younger sister, okay?"
Hailan nodded and said: "Okay..."
Qi Fujin groped her head and said, "Then let's just be like our sisters and walk more and talk more, okay?"
"good……"
Hailan nodded slowly: "I still want to learn Mandarin from my sister..."
Qifu Jin said: "You should study hard..."
She had already planned to accept Shu Shu's advice and choose two articulate girls to practice speaking with Hailan.
*
In Gualga's carriage.
Tana talked about today's visit as a guest, and then said: "Sishou Niang, Ama Xingwu, do I have to wait in line behind my sister from the fourth uncle's family to treat guests?"
Guarjia nodded and said: "Yes, that should be the case."
Tana looked at the few brocade boxes next to her and said, "Then should I also prepare gifts for everyone? I don't know what to prepare?"
"Don't worry, it will probably be the end of the month at the earliest. Then we will see what Princess Sibeile has prepared, and we can refer to it..."
Guarga said calmly.
Tana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, otherwise I wouldn't know what to give..."

The gate of Lifanyuan.
When the ninth elder brother came out of the Yamen, he saw that the tenth elder brother had arrived.
Brother Ninth walked a few steps quickly, got on Brother Ten's carriage, and said, "I came out quite early, and I was just thinking about picking you up."
The tenth elder brother said: "There is nothing going on. I thought it was time for the ninth elder brother to come out, so I came back first."
Brother Jiu asked: "Is there any news today? Has any of the Eight Banners Jinshi been chosen by any family to choose the prince-in-law?"
Brother Ten smiled and shook his head and said: "I haven't heard that those who can pass the Jinshi examination are all young in their early twenties, and there are few who are not married."
"What about the Lord of the Hesheli family? There seems to be rumors that he wants to pay back his uncle?"
Brother Nine said.
The Hesheli family originally had three sons and one uncle, but now they are constantly changing their clothes.
The tenth elder brother said: "There is some news. Khan Ama has given grace and allowed the law to protect the heart-rich uncle..."
Fabao was the youngest son of Sony and the half-brother of Suo'etu. He was the first-class prince who attacked Sony in the sixth year of Kangxi's reign and was dismissed in the 22nd year.
Xinyu was the fifth son of Sony. He was a first-class uncle in the sixth year of Kangxi's reign. Last year, he was accused of beating the family members to death and lost his first-class uncle.
The titles of both of them come from Sony and are meritorious titles.
Therefore, after Xinyu retires, the title can be transferred and chosen among brothers and nephews.
After hearing this, Brother Jiu became impatient and said, "Okay, why are the titles given back again? Neither Cheng'en Gong nor Suo'etu's titles were followed up..."
Brother Ten said: "It's different, Khan Ama is getting more and more nostalgic."
Brother Ninth snorted: "Now that the title of the Hesheli family has been given, will the Tong family also be in a hurry?"
The tenth elder brother said: "I guess this is indeed the case. I should choose someone from among the old master's children and grandchildren to inherit the title."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "Anyone can do it, but Shun Anyan is annoying, and everyone else can do it..."
At this point, he asked: "Would it be too high if I give it back to the public?"
The tenth elder brother said: "I will only give it to the Duke. The Tong family has two Cheng'en Dukes..."
With Empress Xiaoyi's dignity in it, this title will not remain inactive forever.
After all, the Tong family is Khan Amma’s maternal family. Even if they have been suppressed in recent years, their status will not be lower than that of other nobles...
