Chapter 362: Reunion (Second update, please vote for me)
Seeing this, Brother Jiu also stretched out his hand and picked up the biggest and fattest piece on the plate.
Seeing this, Shu Shu quickly stopped, pointed to a piece the size of a fingernail next to her, and said: "This is raw and cold, I just need to try it..."
Brother Jiu was not very happy, but he still obediently turned in the direction of Kuai Zi, followed Shu Shu's example and dipped it in soy sauce before putting it in his mouth.
Too much soy sauce.
The spiciness of the mustard brought tears to my eyes.
He didn't spit it out immediately. He chewed it twice and swallowed it, and said, "It looks like a piece of fat meat. What's so delicious about it?"
Shu Shu smiled and said: "I have seen this way of eating in books and want to try it..."
Brother Jiu shook his head and said: "If you didn't look carefully, the fish dumplings are made from live fish, not iced fish. They are cut into transparent slices and are not dipped in soy sauce. Instead, they are mixed with cooked oil and eaten... If you want to eat it,
When the river opens next year, I will go and buy two grass carp for you to make fish dumplings..."
After Shu Shu heard this, she didn't even dare to think about it.
It was a pure freshwater fish, different from the migratory river fish like the Mahaha.
She doesn't want to "get the disease from the mouth".
She shook her head and said: "This taste is enough..."
She was not a glutton, so she took three or four slices. When she was satisfied, she ordered someone to take it off and said: "Keep it, I'll chop it into cubes for fried rice tonight."
Somewhat worried.
Although it has been frozen at low temperature, it is not very safe. There are still hidden dangers in eating it raw.
Between greed and health, Shu Shu still chooses health.
Today is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. I have nothing else to do but wait for New Year’s Eve.
Yesterday, the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, door gods and couplets were hung on the doors of the two houses.
None of them are one-off, and people from the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange and hang them together.
In the early years, it was hung on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month and closed on the second day of February. Starting from the 25th year of Kangxi, it was changed to the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month and closed on the third day of February.
The couplets are auspicious words, the door gods are a pair of woodblock prints, and the pictures are different in each place in the palace.
There are two types of pictures hanging here.
The first one, the third one, and the fifth one all have the boy door god hanging on them.
In the second house, because the ninth elder brother was already married, the person in charge was the Fulu Gate God.
The days passed by in a hurry.
In a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth day.
There was joy on everyone's faces.
When Shu Shu and Jiu Age woke up in the morning, they also looked at each other and smiled.
I am about to grow a year older before my eyes. Today, we are getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. After all, it is different.
There is a reunion banquet at Qianqing Palace this afternoon.
It's a pity that Shu Shu didn't get to meet him.
It was different from what she had imagined before. She had thought that the New Year's Eve dinner in the inner court would be attended by everyone from the queen mother to the prince and grandson, with four generations living under the same roof, having a great time.
As a result, I thought too much.
This kind of festive banquet, which is included in daily life, has fixed rules.
The so-called inner court banquet was a family banquet between Kangxi and his concubines, and no one else was eligible to participate.
When the banquet was over, Kangxi would lead his concubines to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager and bid farewell to the new year.
As for Ningshou Palace, they also have their own small banquet.
There were concubines and princesses from Ningshou Palace accompanying the Queen Mother, but no one from outside.
The breakfast on the first day of the Lunar New Year was the Queen Mother's banquet. Kangxi went over to accompany them, which was regarded as a "reunion dinner" for mother and son.
As for the Yuqing Palace or the Second Palace, the prince who gets married must have his own small reunion banquet, where his wives, concubines, children and others will sit together.
As for the unmarried princes such as the 10th elder brother and the 13th elder brother, they will stay at their elder brother's house and attend the "clan banquet" held on the first day of the first lunar month.
There are all kinds of rules and regulations that have become established.
Husband and wife cannot share the same table, and children and grandchildren cannot share the same hall.
On the contrary, it is not as good as the ordinary people outside, with two tables set up and the whole family having fun together.
With such rules, Shu Shu doesn't get too busy.
Otherwise, it would be a lot more lively just to celebrate the New Year with my brother.
I had sent a lot of New Year's dishes to my brothers-in-law before, so I didn't worry about their lack of food.
In the second house, the small banquet is held in the main hall.
There are three seats in total, one for Shu Shu and Jiu Age, and one for Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege.
Brother Jiu knew it and didn't say anything.
After being married for half a year, he realized that Shu Shu wanted both dignity and respect.
Although he is generous in front of others, he is also jealous in his heart.
These two are just left alone, with a name, so that no one outside will talk about them.
They all made mistakes first and dare not be dishonest.
There are many Manchu families who live with one wife, such as Abatai, the king of Raoyu County, and Nalan Mingzhu, the former prime minister who has declined, both have the same wife.
It's just that this kind of life-long pair has a wonderful beginning, but there is no perfect ending.
Abatai Fujin was disliked by Taizong because of his jealousy and domineering behavior. Later, he committed various crimes and was ordered to be abandoned.
Mrs. Nalan is the eldest daughter of the British Prince Azig. She is extremely jealous and cruel.
There is no concubine at all, even a maid will not let her husband get close to her.
Mingzhu glanced at the maid's hand twice, and then Mrs. Mingzhu chopped off the maid's hand.
Someone gave a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River, and Madam Mingzhu gave her poisonous wine.
After gouging out the eyes of the baby's son in an attempt to scare her husband again, Mrs. Mingzhu hit the iron plate and was stabbed to death by the father of the baby's baby in front of the court.
This was the "Slave Killing the Prime Minister's Wife" that shocked the capital. It happened in the 33rd year of Kangxi's reign, so Brother Nine still remembers it clearly.
Before, Brother Jiu didn't understand why there were women so jealous and vicious.
Now, he feels he can understand a little better.
It's not that I was thinking of Shu Shu.
He felt that his wife was very considerate and tolerant of women. If he really messed up, she would just deal with him directly.
He was thinking about himself. If Shu Shu really had someone else in his heart, he might not be able to suppress the murderous intention in his heart.
I was reluctant to do something to Shu Shu, but I didn't just go to the "adulterer".
It's easy to chop your hands and dig out your eyes. I wish I could just chop them into pieces.
Although it is New Year's Eve dinner, it is held during the lantern lighting season.
Shu Shu had been cold to the two princesses for a month and a half.
After Yao Zixiao's incident, the food allowance for the two of them also disappeared. They are both peaceful and rarely leave the house.
There is no sense of presence at all here.
This time, everyone who came in behind Walnut knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
Zhaojia Gege looked the same as before, but she was much more reserved and no longer lively as before.
She was really scared.
We can also see how fierce Fujin is.
Do not tolerate disobedience.
The prince's nanny said that he had a seizure, and the eunuch Haha Zhuzi said that he had a seizure, and they all went directly to the punishment department, and there was no good end.
Those are the old people around the prince. Even so, if they have no foundation, what if they continue to make trouble?
Now that Mr. Cui is taking care of his retirement in advance, He Yuzhu and the others are like lapdogs, and the two houses belong to Fujin.
She is obedient and does not want to attract attention.
Wang Gege has obviously lost weight, and her previously slim and plump figure has lost its luster, and her gentle oval face has become an oval face.
When Shu Shu saw it, she sighed in her heart that it was a pity.
She knew people well but didn't know their hearts, and she was too lazy to bother with the relationship. Otherwise, if these two were obedient, it wouldn't be impossible to stay by their side.
After all, they are all palace ladies. Serving the ninth elder brother is also serving, and serving her is also serving.
It was just a thought in her mind.
The current structure of the second institute is quite good, but it is better not to change the status quo.
She was so lost in thought that she forgot to scream for a moment.
The two princesses became more and more frightened, like serving a fierce tiger.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but pinched Shu Shu, gritted his teeth and reminded in a low voice: "Where are you looking?!"
Shu Shu looked away and said: "Get up and take a seat. We will also have a reunion dinner today."
Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege got up obediently and took their seats.
He lowered his eyebrows and looked calm, holding his breath.
Shu Shu didn't try to embarrass them. Wasn't he the same in front of Kangxi?
But she doesn't intend to look good again, it's good to have fear.
If, like before, you become more tolerant, you will have to step out and test yourself.
One lesson is enough.
The room was very quiet.
Shu Shu had no interest in showing off her intimacy with Brother Jiu in front of the two princesses.
Brother Jiu didn't say anything, and Kuai Zi didn't stop and kept picking up food for Shu Shu.
Now I take a bite of ginkgo, and sometimes I take a bite of sweet-scented osmanthus yam, both are sweet.
Shu Shu was so fed up with the meal that she wanted to speak without being pinched by Brother Jiu, but seeing how angry he was, she didn't say anything else.
She couldn't stop laughing in her heart.
I think this is pretty good too.
It is better for Brother Jiu to be jealous than for her to be jealous.
Although there is a high probability that she will not be jealous.
The meal was over in less than two quarters of an hour.
Shu Shu was so sweet that she lost her appetite and planned to eat dumplings on an empty stomach in the middle of the night.
As soon as she gave up Kuai Zi, Zhaojia Gege and Wang Gege both gave up Kuai Zi.
It was the New Year's Eve, so Shu Shu didn't embarrass them and said, "Let's go back and watch the New Year. You don't have to come over to kowtow tomorrow morning. The dining room will send you snacks later."
Walnut took out the tray and placed two purses on it, which were New Year's money for the two princesses.
The two accepted it respectfully, and then left.
Brother Jiu couldn't hold back enough, and then he said angrily: "I feel a little green on my head! If I hadn't been with you, I'm afraid you would have gone to the backyard to play with them, right?"
Shu Shu did not speak in a hurry, but got up and went to the study.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu got up and followed him. He didn't dare to talk nonsense and said cautiously, "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable after seeing them?"
Shu Shu sat by the kang, sighed, and pinched Brother Jiu on the face: "I really gave me a big problem!"
Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and said aggrievedly: "I didn't know at that time that we would be together in the future, otherwise I wouldn't have nodded in agreement..."
At this point, he hummed softly: "Where is the difficulty? Just like now, wouldn't it be easy to just make a decoration?"
Shu Shu smiled bitterly and said: "When I married into the palace, I wanted to be a good wife and mother..."
Even though I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, I didn’t have any big demands.
But people's greed is developed bit by bit in this way.
The corners of Brother Jiu's mouth couldn't help but turn up, and he said: "You are reluctant to separate me? Then I won't separate you..."
Shu Shu shook his hand, her face became more solemn, and said: "Do I take these words seriously?"
Brother Jiu raised his chin and said, "I keep my word, who can't coax you?"
Shu Shu smiled and nodded, her eyes a little complicated.
Brother Jiu also knew her temperament and was soft-hearted, so he said: "If they live in peace in two years, I will give their parents a favor..."
Shu Shu thought about the ages of the two Geges, one was sixteen and the other was seventeen, and then she was not in a hurry.
If he hadn't been asked to enter the elder brother's house and worked directly in the palace, he would not be released until he was twenty-five years old.
After the Chinese New Year, when they are older and their temperament has settled down, we will see how to arrange it.
The royal jade certificate is revised every ten years.
The last time the ultimatum was revised was in the 35th year of Kangxi reign, and the next time was in the 45th year of Kangxi reign.
As long as they don't get the royal jade certificate, they will be the palace girls under the name of Ninth Prince, so there is no other way out.
Shu Shu is not a holy mother, but she just feels that there is cause and effect.
When protecting yourself, there is no need to embarrass others.

If you want to save it until the end of the month and ask for a monthly ticket, it will be doubled. As a result, the list will fall off the list. What should I do?
