After a while, there was another movement outside.
The Seven Fortunes are here.
"I'm so worried. I heard that my fourth sister-in-law has started to hold a theater. Everyone in this house is so lively. What will we, Hailan, do when it's our turn..."
When the guests and hosts were seated, Qi Fujin explained his purpose: "We do have an empty yard at the back, but it's not easy to follow. Come and help me with an idea..."
It is said that the little princesses are treating the guests, but the younger ones below are here at this age and Hailan's mind is not yet complete. At least Qi Fujin, who is in charge of Nirvana, is personally organizing the arrangements.
Shu Shu thought that her family would ask Ni Guzhu to treat guests at Zhuangzi, and she felt a little stirred up, so she said: "Hailan and Ni Guzhu are the two youngest, why don't we let them host the business together."
"Huh?"
Qi Fujin really hadn't thought of this before, and hesitated: "Then...is it appropriate? The princess in front of me has been invited for a whole day..."
Shu Shu said: "One is five years old and the other is four years old. Who is the youngest sister and who still can't argue with each other? When the time comes, I will prepare my own ceremony. We will go with you. Please also invite the sisters-in-law to follow and relax."
Qi Fujin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I will take advantage of you."
It would be difficult for other sisters-in-law to take advantage of this, but Shu Shu is fine here.
Shi Fujin was puzzled and said: "Such a big kid treats guests like a housewife, why is Sister-in-law Seven still so careful?"
Seventh Fujin looked at Tenth Fujin and told the truth, "If our Hailan was like other little princesses, I wouldn't be so careful. The more deficiencies there are, the more I don't want others to look down on her."
After hearing this, Shi Fujin hurriedly said: "What's the shortcoming? It's just that I speak slower. I was also late in speaking when I was a child. I only knew two words when I was three years old. Later, I was criticized by Ehe for talking too much. Now my niece follows
When the sisters are together, they look much more lively."
Shu Shu also rolled her eyes at Qi Fujin and said: "It's useless to be strong, just compete with yourself, but don't force your children to compete, or it will be counterproductive."
Qi Fujin nodded and said: "I'm not a stepmother either, don't worry, Hailan is strong now, stronger than anything else..."
When it was time to eat, Shu Shu would save the meal.
Shifu Jin was greedy, so he took his order and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, I want spicy shredded pork and mutton stir-fried with green onions."
Seeing this, Qi Fujin didn't want to leave, and said: "I want to eat something sweet, sweet and sour pork tenderloin and crispy cabbage..."
Shu Shu asked someone to send a message to the dining room, and told Bai Guo: "In a while, all the children will be taken over here to eat."
Shi Fujin smiled and said, "Let Brother Jiu and our father eat it."
The tenth elder brother also ordered Mao here in the garden today and did not go to the city...

Changchun Garden, Qingxi Bookstore.
Kangxi sat on the Kang, looking at the Zhenglan Banner's collar booklet in his hand.
Since the Zhenglan Banner changed its flag owners three times during the founding of the country, its leaders were also in chaos.
In the early years, the prince of Yutong County had thirty-five lieutenants, but later Dorgon fined fifteen lieutenants for seizing his minister's wife, leaving only twenty lieutenants.
However, when Dorgon died and was held accountable, the fifteen subordinates who were taken away returned to the Dodo lineage.
Nowadays, there are more than 80 chiefs in Manchuria under the Zhenglan Banner, half of whom are in the hands of the descendants of Duduo, including many from the clan and Jueluo chiefs.
They are all of clan blood, but they serve as assistants under the name of Prince Xinjun, and they are divided into masters and slaves. This is why the clan members all have Prince Xin as their head.
Because Prince Gong, the eighth prince and the ninth prince have successively lowered their banners, there are not many princes and assistants left.
Kangxi transferred the letter to the county prince's name and appointed the assistant leader. Now the princes of the Five Banners could not seize the assistant leader, but due to the population growth, new assistant leaders could be established.
This new assistant leader can be selected from several surnames under the name of Prince Xinjun, just like how Qi Xi Dan established assistant leaders in the past.
"Your Majesty, Master Jiu has called, waiting outside..."
Liang Jiugong came in and reported.
Kangxi put down the booklet in his hand, nodded and said: "Pass."
Liang Jiugong responded and went out to tell Brother Jiu to come in.
Brother Jiu felt a little uneasy, suspecting that the emperor's father wanted to discipline his son.
Could it be that he was implicated by the twelfth prince?
Grandma Suma is indeed quite old, so it seems quite difficult to take the old lady out for a walk.
He regretted that he was arrogant.
Kangxi motioned to Brother Ninth Brother to sit near him, and asked Liang Jiugong to give Brother Ninth Brother the Zuoling Booklet in his hand.
Brother Jiu was confused, but he still accepted it honestly and read through it.
"What did you see?"
Kangxi raised his eyebrows and asked.
The ninth elder brother said in a stunned tone: "There are not many assistants in the Zhenglan Banner. They are all in the hands of Prince Xin and Prince An. If the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother take over the banner, there will be no assistants."
Divided?"
I had known for a long time that King Gong's family was rich, but I never expected that it would be so rich.
The total number of banner lords and subordinates is equivalent to three princes.
Fortunately, not all of them are in the hands of Prince Xin. They are also divided between Beizi Mansion and Guogong Mansion below.
Kangxi pondered: "What did someone say outside? Why are the 12th and 13th elder brothers involved?"
The ninth elder brother said honestly: "Isn't the Prince's Mansion about to be repaired? There are people sitting outside, guessing which flag the twelfth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother will fly. Some guess the red flag, and most of them guess the white flag and the right flag.
Blue flag.”
Kangxi's face darkened.
"Playing banker? What's going on?"
Brother Jiu sneered and said: "There are too many idle people, so my son just listened to it."
The princes in front lowered their flags next to each other.
The 10th elder brother is the red flag of entering the righteousness, and it makes sense that the 12th elder brother and the 13th elder brother are raising the red flag of the righteousness.
However, Zhenghongqi didn't have many assistants and lieutenants, and he still had to give honor to Prince Kang's palace.
On the contrary, the white flag and the blue flag are now a baby flag owner, a new flag owner, and the prince's first choice to fly the flag.
Kangxi pointed to the hand of the ninth elder brother and said: "I see that you are also free, so I will send you an errand. The old sergeant of Zhenglan Banner will pick out the ones with the largest population and send them out in a few new sergeants."
Brother Jiu almost jumped up.
Isn't this an errand for the Manchurian Governor?
"Khan Ama..."
Brother Ninth feels that this Zuoling brochure is too hot to touch.
"Is this new chief minister or the chief minister? Can my son take on this job?"
Brother Ninth didn’t want to take on this job.
He, Dorobele, has not been promoted, and his subordinates cannot be increased for the time being, so why bother with this?
Kangxi looked at him and said, "Are you satisfied with just one Dorobel? Don't you want to be promoted to a king?"
Brother Jiu struggled and said, "Isn't it more important for my son to avoid suspicion?"
Kangxi's mouth twitched and he said, "Is it to avoid suspicion or to be lazy?"
Brother Jiu sneered and said, "It's nothing else. If this involves the worldly stewardship, it's not easy for the son to make the decision. This involves the worldly position, who should it be given to?"
Kangxi hummed and said: "It's not your turn to make the decision, you just have to divide the population first."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Then I can rest assured. My son is just wondering. After all, my son is in Zhenglan Banner, and all the clan members have been offended. This noble family will offend a few less. It can't be that his popularity is not good at all."
Kangxi looked at him and said in surprise: "You think too much."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Hey, my son is not thinking about this. From now on, my son's descendants will all be in Zhenglan Banner. If we can't keep them all, which family will be the in-laws? It's better to leave some room."
The generation of the emperor's grandson is a close branch of the clan, and most of the marriages are done in the palace.
When Feng gives birth to their next generation, or the next generation, they become ordinary clan members, and the marriage is mostly chosen by the family of their own color.
Kangxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "You are thinking long-term."
Brother Jiu said: "Who said they are not as good as me? They don't have Khan Amma to back them up. I have to worry more about it. My son has already written and prepared the family rules. Don't slack off in riding and shooting in Mandarin, otherwise don't expect to divide the money; and
Just read the "Qing Dynasty Code" thoroughly, you can be incompetent, but you can't be lawless..."
Kangxi thought about the news about the Zongren Mansion, looked at Brother Ninth and said, "Don't you understand this very well? Why are you still angry with Prince Xinjun's Mansion?"
Brother Jiu said: "The son wants face. If they don't give him face, the son will retaliate with tooth for tooth and eye for eye."
Kangxi didn't say anything else, he just looked at the Kang table.
There is an approved report on the kang table, which is about the imperial censor's impeachment of a certain counselor of Zhenglan Banner who left the capital for no reason.
This kind of impeachment can be carried out gently and then released, or it can be directly impeached.
This time I'm leaving my job.
In this way, Zhenglan Banner has another vacancy for a Manchu leader.
It's just that Kangxi didn't tell Brother Jiu.
He wanted to see how Prince Xin and Prince An would respond next.
After Brother Jiu finished speaking, he said thiefly: "Khan Ama, how about we ask Fu Qing to garrison the Eight Banners?"
Kangxi said speechlessly: "From the fourth grade to the second grade, what do you think?"
"Haha, my son just said casually, if Erhe just pays back, Fuqing is indeed not qualified enough..."
Brother Ninth said.
Kangxi pointed to the book and said, "Do you know how to assign new subordinates?"
Brother Jiu didn't answer immediately. He thought about it carefully and said, "It should be divided among the nobles, right? There are many houses and a large population. If there are more people than one leader, it should have been divided long ago..."
