Chapter 412: It’s good to be gone (Second update, please vote for me)
The next day is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
There will be a banquet and fireworks in the West Garden that day.
After the ninth brother finished his breakfast, he was sent by the manager of Changchun Garden to invite him.
This banquet was not only organized by the Lifanyuan and the Ministry of Rites, but also by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Shu Shu is looking forward to tomorrow, there will be a clan banquet tomorrow.
The princes and princes would come in during the day and go back after the dinner.
I guess I'll just relax for a few days and then I'll go back to the palace.
According to the old custom in Beijing, the Lantern Festival lasts for five days.
Starting from the 13th day of the first lunar month and ending on the 17th day of the first lunar month, lanterns are hung up all over the West Garden.
They are all stored in the lantern warehouse of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, large and small red lanterns.
They were hung along the lotus pond.
Shu Shu's little day came, and she was in high spirits. She took a copy of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and read it under the south window.
Xiao Chun was beside me, talking about buying spring clothes.
Shu Shu, as the prince of Fujin, has clothes and materials.
There are also needleworkers here for tailoring.
Even Xiaochun and Walnut, the ladies of the palace and the ladies of the family, were given clothing materials according to the year.
Shu Shu thought about how inconvenient it would be to go out and starch and wash, so she said: "Ask someone to buy similar pieces of cloth from outside, follow the few who are going out, and cut twice as much..."
Xiaochun hesitated and said: "Fujin, why don't you let Walnut follow you out?"
There is no proper person watching over here at the Second Institute, so Xiaochun is worried.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "There is still grandma here..."
You can't leave Xiao Chun to look after the house every time you go out.
Just perfect for rotation with walnuts.
Also see if walnuts can stand alone.
Xiaoyu is inseparable, and Guiyuan follows her to learn how to comb her hair, but she has not yet become an apprentice, so she should not use it for the time being.
The same is true for Hazel with Xiaotang.
Not to mention Komatsu here.
No one can replace it.
When you go out, you should always be followed by a safe person.
"When I get back, I will change the bedding in the study in front..."
Shu Shu explained.
Last night, the couple chatted carefully for a long time. Brother Jiu agreed to wait for her to go out and move to the study room in the front yard to rest.
Shu Shu had a subtle feeling in her heart.
Brother Jiu will be obedient.
If he misbehaves, it might be more worry-free for her.
Therefore, she did not guard against the feeling of clinging to death, she just expressed her hope. As for whether she can achieve it, it does not depend on the promise or anything else.
The day flies by in an instant.
When it's late, Shu Shu will have customers here.
Jiugege is here.
There is a vassal banquet at Hanchun Hall tonight, and the princes will lead the ministers, bachelors, and bodyguards to accompany the banquet.
Jiu Gege knew that Brother Jiu was not here, so he sent someone over early to inquire, hoping to come and watch the fireworks with Shu Shu.
Shu Shu was eager to have the little beauty as her companion, so she asked Xiao Chun to go there in person and asked Jiu Gege to come here to stay late.
Jiu Gege likes vegetarian food but not meat. Although Shu Shu had previously advised her to eat more meat, this eating habit cannot be changed in a day or two.
Therefore, the food prepared by Shu Shu in the dining room is mainly light.
The snacks served were milk flower rolls and millet and chestnut cakes.
There are also two cold meat dishes, egg sausage and pig's trotters jelly, and two small side dishes, sesame sauce radish and sweet and sour shredded cabbage.
There are two hot dishes: chicken meatballs and cabbage in a claypot and sea cucumber vermicelli in a claypot, and two sweet plate dishes: red date rice cake and osmanthus yam.
Jiu Gege ate delicately, taking small bites, but seeing the frequency with which she moved her chopsticks, one could tell that the food suited her appetite.
Shu Shu looked at Jiu Gege's slender wrists and thought of Qi Fujin.
I didn’t see my grandma for some time before and after New Year’s Eve.
I don’t know if Qi Fujin has controlled his weight.
Shu Shu looked at herself again. Could it be that she was being harassed by Brother Nine and didn't sleep enough?
There is a saying in later generations that if you sleep more you will lose weight, and if you sleep less you will gain weight.
She feels that she has gained more weight than before she got married.
Although there is no fat, my arms and legs are much stronger than before I got married.
After eating, my aunt went up to the second floor.
Later, when the Hanchun Hall banquet is almost over, there will be fireworks in the square in front.
"My palace maid over there saw the fireworks being set off this morning and said that sixteen carts of them were set off tonight, and there will be more tomorrow..."
Nine grids.
Shu Shu remembered that on New Year's Eve, everyone put flowers on the corridor between the imperial garden and the elder brother's house.
Although they are all small fireworks, they are still quite fun.
I don’t know what the banquet in this palace is like.
It's not yet the watch, and it's still early before the fireworks are set off. The aunt and sister are leaning on the south couch in the study room on the second floor.
Jiu Gege hesitated for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law Jiu, does the old master of the Tong family really want to return to Shengjing with his whole family?"
The Tong family has two clans, and they are all first-class Cheng Engong.
In order to make the distinction easier, when Tong Guogang was still alive, others called Tong Guogang "Uncle of the Great Country" and Tong Guowei as "Uncle of the Second Country".
After Tong Guogang died in battle, the eldest son Orundai attacked the first-class Duke. The two uncles and nephews became the "Guo Gong" and the "Old Guo Gong".
Shu Shu looked at her, nodded and said: "The emperor has made an edict, and there is no room for change."
Jiu Gege pursed her lips and said, "Then Shun Anyan also went back with you?"
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt excited and looked at Jiugege.
A girl is pregnant?
Not very similar.
There was no shyness on Jiu Gege's face.
"Sister, do you know Shun Anyan?"
Shu Shu asked.
Jiuge nodded and said: "Ama Khan sent him to Ningshou Palace several times a year ago and met him twice..."
Shu Shu didn't know what to say.
Is it an established fate?
Jiu Gege curled up the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It's good to go back!"
Shu Shu saw this and asked curiously: "My sister doesn't like this person?"
Jiu Gege shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm not happy, it's just that I think it's ridiculous. During the Laba days, he was ordered to come to Ningshou Palace to give things to the imperial grandmother. It happened that Xiao Si was playing shuttlecock outside. He looked unhappy when he saw it, but didn't say anything.
He even scolded Xiao Shisi’s palace attendant, he has a very weird temper!”
The little fourteen here is the fourteenth grid from Concubine Yuan Shu.
Shu Shu is so embarrassed.
It is estimated that that person was assuming the role of brother-in-law and was kindly "giving advice" to the concubine's sister-in-law. In the eyes of others, this was extremely ridiculous.
Shu Shu said: "The guy who lacks education went to my brother's house to ask for money on the first day of the new year, and he was not polite to our father. What is it? Don't mention him, it will affect your mood."
Jiu Gege said with uneasiness: "Sister-in-law Jiu, will I choose someone from the Tong family for my marriage? I heard that their family has a very bad temper, and I can't bear to quarrel with them."
Because of the Queen Mother's teaching yesterday, Jiu Gege was also concerned about his life-long affairs.
In addition, Shu Shu and her brother Geng were less reserved, so they just asked.
Shu Shu glanced at Jiu Gege: "It was almost the same earlier, but now I'm not sure..."
The Tong family has just been punished by marrying another princess, even if it is not Tong Guowei's, the meaning is almost the same, and it cannot make the Tong family feel arrogant again.
On the contrary, it was the Hesheli family.
In order to maintain the prince's dignity, Kangxi might offer him some favors.
Uncle Xinyu couldn't lift it. The Heyi branch was not as good as the Suo'etu branch before.
After being promoted, it becomes the second grade.
He Yi is not yet a Xijue person.
Shu Shu felt that the best candidate for the Nine-Gecked Prince Consort was He Yi.
Previously, Kangxi gave Concubine Rong's mother and son to the prince. Concubine Rong had the reputation of raising her, and the third elder brother also wanted to be close to Yuqing Palace.
However, if we uncover the previous grudges, we probably won’t rub them together even if they don’t tear them apart.
The prince needs arms, either the third elder brother or the fourth elder brother.
The fourth elder brother's sister married into the Hesheli family and pushed the fourth elder brother into the "princeling party".
Jiu Gege said generously: "If there is a candidate for the emperor, Brother Jiu knows about it, Sister-in-law Nine, please tell me."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely inquire clearly."
As he was talking, the sound of firecrackers was heard in the distance.
Shu Shu directly opened the window.
From this location, you can look out into the distance through the gap between the two small buildings in front.
With the sound of firecrackers over there, I remembered that the fireworks on the other side of the pond started to go off.
First came the colorful bead tubes, and I don’t know how many were lit at the same time, filling the sky with colorful beads.
Then there was a small fire.
Then came the "second fire" and the "big fire".
The patterns include grapes, colorful smoke, colorful fire horses, etc., which complement each other beautifully.
The last few combinations of box flowers.
Crane flames dance, golden snakes flicker, and stars fall all over the sky.
Shu Shu couldn't move her eyes away.
It took three quarters of an hour from the sound of the firecrackers to the last drop of the box flowers of the Duke and Lord Wandai.
My sister-in-law opened the window, so the room was naturally cold.
There were two girls who had already brought cloaks to cover them.
Jiu Gege was still unfinished and said: "There will be another show tomorrow. Then we will watch it directly in front of us..."
Shu Shu also felt that he had seen the world and said: "Tomorrow all the sisters-in-law will come in, it will be more lively..."
There was the sound of banging in the distance, and it was the second watch.
Jiu Gege stood up to say goodbye.
Who knew whether the Mongolian prince in the garden had left completely? Shu Shu was worried and said: "Wait a minute, when your ninth brother comes back, we will see you off."
There are colorful lights outside.
Shu Shu had been bored in the house all day and wanted to go out and take a breath.
While I was talking, Brother Jiu came back.
Seeing Jiu Gege there, he was surprised and said: "It's so late, why haven't you left yet?"
Jiu Gege smiled a little reluctantly.
It seems that I have been rejected.
Shu Shu hurriedly said: "We were delayed until I came back. Have all the princes left the garden?"
"Um!"
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Guard the little west gate over there. Let's go straight out of the garden from the west gate."
Shu Shu said: "Then let's go see Sister Ninth off. It just so happens that I'm feeling depressed and went out for a walk."
Brother Jiu frowned and said, "They are choking outside. I can just go and see him off by myself. Don't bother me."
Shu Shu said: "It's okay, I have a mask, and I also want to see the lights."
In the northern area of the West Garden, from the Hanchun Hall in the west to the Companion Reading Room in the east, many colored lanterns are hung.
Seeing this, Brother Jiu ordered: "Put on a hat, it's all dusty and dirty..."
Shu Shu listened, put on a hat and mask, and followed Brother Jiu out.
This time, instead of taking the small west path, I took the east main road.
In front of the door of Tuoyuan Bookstore, two children were playing with flowers in their hands, followed by a few nuns holding glazed lamps in their hands.
I saw a few people coming over, and the two of them were still playing.
After being urged by Grandma, he calmed down, but he stood there without moving.
When everyone came forward, the two of them reluctantly bowed to everyone.
They are the eldest and second elder brothers of Yuqing Palace.
"I've met Uncle Ninth, Aunt Ninth, Aunt Ninth..."
The two children looked very perfunctory, and their eyes were still staring at the flowers in grandma's hand.
Brother Jiu frowned when he saw this, but he was not familiar with the younger brother in Yuqing Palace and had no interest in disciplining his son for others. He nodded and continued walking with Shu Shu and his entourage.
Jiu Gege was there, so Brother Jiu endured it.
After seeing off Jiugege, the couple did not return the same way, but took the west path.
"This is the Yuqing Palace after all. It's different. I don't have many kesi clothes yet. Their regular clothes are all kesi, and the mother-in-law's hands are all glazed lamps..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but feel sour and muttered in a low voice.
What Shu Shu cares about is the attitude of the two younger brothers towards the ninth elder brother.
In their eyes, they probably would not consider other princes as uncles, but would only regard them as the prince's future ministers, so they would be negligent.
It is nonsense to say that children are young and ungrateful.
How old is your fifteenth brother? When has he ever lacked etiquette?
Shu Shu felt that if she were the prince's elder brother, she would also want to fight...
