Four dried, four fresh, four candied fruits, eight cold meats, eight large pieces, four side dishes, two snacks, and two staple foods.
It's hard to divide the tables with this kind of banquet.
Prince Fujin ordered a large round table to be set up.
Prince Fujin invited his ninth elder brother to take the seat.
Brother Jiu refused and asked her to take a seat on the grounds that Prince Fujin was the senior one.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother sat on the left hand side of the county prince Fujin, and Taiji and Buyin Gege sat on the right hand side of the county prince Fujin.
The aisle was empty between Brother Ten and Buying Gege.
Buyin Gege looked at Brother Ten and smiled.
The tenth brother felt that Buyin Gege still looked the same as the day of the wedding ceremony.
Although the accessories on her head have been changed and her body is in a different set of clothes, her skin is still fair and her lips are still rosy.
She still looks amiable and cute, making her want people to pinch her face.
Buyin Gege also looked at the tenth elder brother intently, and said with a smile: "I heard that you went to the clan mansion and will also be a king in the future. Will I become a princess like Ehe and me?"
Brother Ten shook his head and said: "I am the son of Khan. Maybe one day I will be crowned king. At that time, you will be the princess and share my rights and glory; but for a long time, I may not be crowned.
It's just that you are my wife, and others will call you Prince Fujin..."
Buyin Gege seemed to understand, and said: "They are all the same. I am both Khan's daughter-in-law, and both are the wives of the tenth prince! Then can we go back to Abahai? Go back in a grand and lively manner.
Let all the people in the territory know my glory, and let all the girls envy me!"
Brother Ten thought about it carefully and said: "Khan Amma often patrols the north, but more often goes to the northeast, and the direction outside the mouth is not sure... I can't guarantee which year, but if the court has errands to go to the north, I will
I will try my best to fight for it, but if I can't win it, I will ask Khan Amma for leave on a day when the water and grass are abundant or in front of Naadam, and send you back to Abahai..."
Buyingge shook her head and said: "You are not sending me back, you are taking me back to see the scenery of our Abahai. The river is like a jade belt. There are Gobi and sandy fields on the other side of the river. You can see
A different world from the capital..."
Brother Ten nodded and said: "Okay, then I will take you back to see the scenery of Abahai."
Buyin Gege smiled brightly: "We don't have to go back very early. In ten or eight years, we will take our little pony back with us and let them step on the land of Abahai..."
The tenth elder brother's face turned red as he listened.
A foal?
Pay them back?
How many are that?
How can you say these things in public?
He glanced at Brother Ninth.
Brother Jiu listened with great interest and did not look away or embarrassed at all. Instead, he followed Buyingege enthusiastically and said: "My brother and I have only been to a few tribes in eastern Mongolia and have not been to the north yet.
If you go back, I will arrange a carriage and entourage for you..."
Buyingge knew that this ninth elder brother was not only his fiancé's best brother, but also the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in charge of everything in the palace.
She nodded gratefully and said: "Okay, I will ask you to prepare a few more carriages when the time comes. The capital is too big and prosperous. There are silks as gorgeous as the rainbow, all kinds of jewelry, and all kinds of delicious food."
I will buy all the cakes, take them back, and share them with my people. They will definitely envy me even more..."
Brother Jiu nodded in agreement, seeing that this man was a master who was not short of money.
He couldn't take a good look at Buyin Gege, so he turned his attention to the county prince Fujin and Taiji.
The ornaments on Prince Fujin's head were all changed.
There are still large pieces of coral and gold, but they are more like antiques and antiques, not like modern craftsmanship.
The price is hard to predict.
Brother Jiu looked at Taiji.
Taiji wore antique turquoise earrings on his ears and a gold collar around his neck.
On both his left and right hands were ring rings set with gems, six or seven in total. The huge rubies were of rare color.
Although the Abahai tribe moved from the south, because they submitted to the imperial court earlier and got married earlier, they were still allocated rich pastures.
Their tribe has a small population and only two banners.
There are two county princes' mansions, and there are some princes and princes below.
Brother Jiu seemed to have accidentally chatted with Taiji about the first autumn.
The most popular thing in autumn this year is the royal medicine "Yan Zong Wan".
At that time, an old Taiji from the Horqin tribe cried to the emperor about the pain of being childless.
The emperor gave the medicine.
Unexpectedly, after the autumn festival was over, the slave girl in Laotaiji's tent became pregnant.
Brother Jiu said it as a joke.
It was actually a coincidence.
It's not that the medicine is effective or anything like that.
This woman's pregnancy didn't happen in a day or two. How could it be so fast?
It's just a coincidence.
During the Autumn Festival, few female relatives follow.
Those who are eligible to meet in court are princesses, princesses and other eldest daughters. Even if they go, they will live in the palace and accompany the Queen Mother.
There were many female slaves following the prince in Taiji's camp.
There are more wolves and less meat.
If you are familiar with the person you have good friends with, you won’t shy away from it and enjoy it in turn.
She's not a wife anyway, just a slave girl.
As time went by, a slave girl next to Lao Taiji became pregnant.
It was exactly half a month after he dragged the slave girl into the tent.
Someone mentioned Lao Taiji, but he did not deny it.
Who doesn’t understand what actually happened?
How did Taiji know there was any inside story and the time difference?
His eyes were filled with shock: "Is there such a magical medicine in the world?"
Brother Jiu calmly said: "What kind of medicine is not available in the palace? Except that it cannot bring the dead back to life, there is nothing wrong with it... Otherwise, how could Khan Amma give birth to twenty-seven princes..."
He said boldly: "This is not counting the princess, plus the princess, there are nearly fifty people..."
Taiji was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
He had the word "heartbeat" written on his face.
Brother Jiu just pretended not to know and instead dropped the conversation.
He looked at the table.
In front of me is a main dish of shark fin casserole.
It looks like vermicelli and tastes soft and tender when eaten.
Shark's fin is also included in the ingredients of the imperial dining room.
They are all local tributes.
It is not included in the distinction between the prince and prince Fujin.
Only the imperial dining room or the dining room of Ningshou Palace have shark fin recipes.
Brother Jiu's meal was ordinary, but thinking that Shu Shu was a food lover, he called He Yuzhu over and wanted to tell him to buy one.
Immediately, Brother Jiu hesitated.
He thought of Shu Shu's distribution of the two buckets of sweet oranges yesterday, and the couple's concerns about not being able to eat alone.
Others don’t care, but what about the empress?
Where is Khan Amma?
Where is the Queen Mother?
He then told He Yuzhu, "This shark's fin is pretty good. Ask the restaurant and go buy four bowls. Forget it, add another bowl, just five bowls... Then you don't have to come over. It will be sent directly to the palace. Khan Ama,
The Queen Mother, the Empress, and Concubine Hui each have one copy, and leave one copy for Fujin to send..."
He Yuzhu hesitated after hearing this: "Master, there is the Empress of Yanxi Palace, but where are the other concubines?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "If the concubines and concubines have all been sent, should the concubines do the same? As for the nobles and concubines below, they are both concubines... So forget it, you can't show filial piety... Hui Concubine's mother is different. When I was a child, I
She was able to take care of her at Zhaoxiang Residence, but now that my eldest brother is out and can't attend to the palace, eating delicious food, my mother-in-law may be in a better mood..."
He Yuzhu stopped talking and went down to ask for the name of the restaurant and order the shark's fin himself.
Taiji scratched his head and endured it until the table was withdrawn, unable to bear it any longer.
"Master Jiu, how can you get such a royal medicine?"
A man with a simple and honest face, a bit flattering, and a bit irritating to look at.
Brother Jiu considered it carefully and said: "This medicine is scarce, and the imperial pharmacy in the palace does not have much stock. The process is very complicated, and Khan Ama still uses it on weekdays..."
Taiji brought tension.
"Can't you think of something?"
Brother Ninth looked very embarrassed.
The tenth elder brother listened to everything and said: "What is the use of Taiji? Taiji is young and doesn't have many heirs, so there is no need to worry..."
Tai Ji shook his head and said: "It's not for me. I don't lack children. I already have eight sons. He is Zuo Qi's uncle. I have no sons..."
Abahai was divided into left and right banners, and Buyin's family was the royal palace of the right banner.
Zuoqi County Prince's Mansion is their cousin, and the two families are inherited from the same ancestor.
The tenth elder brother said: "There are other prescriptions in the capital. I also have some medicines. I don't necessarily need imperial medicine..."
Taiji shook his head and said, "I have been taking medicine for more than ten years. I have tried everything and nothing works."
At this point, he explained why he was worried about the inheritance of Zuo Banner's palace.
Prince Zuoqi had no sons, but he had a nephew named Batu, who was about the same age as Taiji.
"He is a villain. He stole my pony and cut off Buyin's braid. I don't want him to be the county king of Zuo Banner..."
Taiji said angrily.
Brother Ten was already feeling angry as he listened.
Buyin Gege's hair looks fluffy and beautiful, but someone dares to cut her braids?
frenzied!
What does it mean to bully a little girl?
So bad!
"You are Prince Taiji, Gege. He, a prince's nephew, dares to be so rampant and provoke you. It's outrageous. Taiji is right. He cannot be allowed to be the county king of Zuo Banner. Otherwise, in the future,
Ba Hai's life may not be peaceful..."
The tenth prince said in a deep voice.
Brother Jiu's expression remained unchanged and he was already muttering in his heart.
Is Lao Shi really popular?
Why didn't he look at Buyin Gege's braids, which reached past his waist?
Even if that bad nephew had cut off Buyin's pigtails, it must have been when he was a child.
Such naughty things are not done by adults!
What's so good about that little chubby girl?
Too naive and romantic.
There's no such thing as being smart, I'll have to teach you little by little in the future.
Brother Ninth doesn’t think Old Ten can have this patience.
The tenth elder brother had already looked over and said: "Ninth brother, just think of a way, as long as you find a way, no matter how much money it is... I know that this medicine is rare and the hospital has few reserves, but I can't swallow it.
It’s best to let Tai Ji go as he pleases.”
Brother Jiu saw that he was not confused yet and still put the money in his head. He was slightly satisfied and nodded in agreement: "This is not about money. This is something that is difficult to price in the first place. You can't just buy it if you just say...
If Khan Ama pursues the case, I will take the blame!"
Taiji said: "If you don't want to buy it, can you exchange it for a horse? Two herds of wild horses came in the winter last year. We harnessed a lot of horses. We have bred a lot of horses in the past two years. We plan to use half of them for Buyin."
dowry……"
Brother Jiu was moved after hearing this.
Although horses are not real money, they are still hard currency in the capital.
The Eight Banners has always been short of horses.
There are barely enough horses for the Eight Banners in the capital, but many old horses need to be replaced.
The local garrison of the Eight Banners was even more pitiful, as they were not even equipped with basic horses.
Every time there was a horse transaction in the court, the horse was nowhere to be seen and was sent away.
Brother Ten said from the side: "Forget about Gege's dowry, you should use it in exchange for medicine!"
Otherwise, when the dowry arrives, how will it be distributed?
It would be a pity to leave it in vain.
If you give it away to someone, the clan, relatives, or in-laws should be given away next to each other. If the gift is not complete, it will offend the person, and it will also be suspected of inviting people to buy.
It is not good to pay tribute to Khan Amma, and it sets a bad precedent.
That was dowry, Fujin's private property.
It is easy to embarrass the sisters-in-law.
Taiji rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Can I change so many medicines?"
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother looked at each other.
He doesn't think that one horse can exchange a lot of medicine, right?
Brother Jiu asked directly: "Taiji, tell me first, how many horses can there be?"
"A thousand horses!"
Taiji answered cheerfully.
Brother Ten clenched his fists, he wanted to take back what he just said!
Brother Jiu also calmed down.
One thousand horses. Every time the Ministry of War replenishes horses, it cannot replenish one thousand horses!
Brother Jiu immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, I'll come up with something!"
Mongolian horses are expensive, twice as much as ordinary horses, and at least worth more than ten taels of silver each.
With good qualifications, the price can be directly five times or ten times.
But if they all switch to "Yanzong Pills", the market will be in chaos.
This deal is just a one-shot deal.
Brother Jiu said: "Even though this medicine is very precious, even if there are rich people, there are not that many. I will try my best to beg, and let our queen and Khan Ama blow pillows to see if they can move it out year after year."
Two bottles, we’ll talk about the rest later...Since we’re asking for a child, it won’t be a matter of three or two days..."
He wanted to promote it, but he also didn’t want to trick his relatives. He reminded: "Taiji also needs to understand that nothing in this world is very safe. If you eat well, then everything is fine. If it doesn’t go well, then try something else."
Medicine, I will return the remaining silver to you when the time comes."
It's all like buying a horse.
Tai Ji hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need to retreat, no need to retreat..."
Speaking of this, he said shyly: "A few days ago, I had dinner with Heshuo, the prince of Haraqin and Horqin tribes.
Yes, this... could you please Lord Jiu and order some for our Abahai?"
Brother Jiu was stunned.
I didn’t expect that the golden belt would have a follow-up.
Taiji still had a simple and honest smile on his face.
However, Brother Jiu thought this smile was a bit dazzling.
Who is tricking who?!
Why do I feel like I've been tricked by this guy!
Brother Jiu's temperament can be stingy or stingy, generous or generous, and he doesn't care about anything.
He nodded and said: "This job is easier than the medicine one. Even the craftsmen in the in-house manufacturing office have construction deadlines, so they may have to arrange their days. Also, the gold and inlaid gems need to be prepared by Taiji first.
"
Taiji nodded hurriedly and said: "That's natural..."
At this point, he glanced at Buyin and said, "In addition to the golden belt, can you also make some sets of jewelry for my sister? The clothes in the capital are different from those here. Don't go into the palace. It's a joke..."
Brother Jiu frowned and said: "The gold belt has no expiration date. Fortunately, the jewelry is more delicate... I'll ask someone to ask. If the master can be moved, there will only be one or two heads. I'm afraid it won't work if there are more.
.”
Taiji said gratefully: "This is already very good, please bother me..."
