My father-in-law is Kangxi

Ten Fujin's good luck lasted until lunch time.

When it was time to close the card table, she won seven or eight of the other people's silver beans.

Ten Fujin smiled happily, holding the money box, grabbed a few handfuls of silver beans, and gave them to the maids next to him.

Standing behind Shu Shu, Walnut also got a lot.

When the dinner table was set, the food was different from usual.

Si Fujin said: "I didn't ask people to make eight dishes and eight bowls, but the food is refreshing."

There are ducks, which are directly made into sour radish and old duck.

There is chicken, which is made into diced chicken and fried salty cucumber.

The pork is a platter of smoked sauce, as well as vegetarian dishes such as leek eggs, mung bean sprouts, and blanched dishes such as diced cucumber and celery.

The staple food is over water noodles. Add duck soup to make soup noodles, add diced chicken to make stewed noodles, add sesame sauce to make cold noodles, add vegetables and meat sauce to make fried sauce noodles.

Sanfujin has also been a mistress for several years. After a quick look, one table is all about a duck, a chicken, and a few catties of pork.

Looking at everyone, I am quite satisfied with this way of eating.

Sanfujin glanced at Sifujin's stomach, and said, "I heard Lao Jiu talking about it, and I'm thinking about saving money for the children?"

Si Fujin shook his head and said: "That's too early, just thinking that we have already come out of the palace, so we don't have to follow the rules in the palace, a table of meat and vegetables like before, can't move two chopsticks, there is no need."

Today's preparation is simple because it is hot and everyone doesn't like to eat big fish and meat.

In addition, there is a banquet at night, there is no need to prepare grandly, and the guests will overwhelm the host.

San Fujin thought about it for a while, and said, "You're right. For example, in the palace, a master can eat ten catties of meat a day. How big is his stomach? Our master also said to be frugal. If you are frugal, it is good if you do not exceed the quota, and if you are not frugal to the right place..."

Seven Fujins sat under the four Fujins, and after hearing this, they said: "Ordinary Banner families, with two liang of silver and the whole family, live a good life, not to mention eating meat every day, one meal for ten days and a half months is considered good."

Shu Shu ate noodles with fried sauce, but didn't answer.

No matter how ordinary banner people are, they are also hard-core crops, with two taels of silver every month.

The real peasants rely on the sky for food, and they don't have two taels of silver for a year.

Shi Fujin is not short of money, and said: "Even if we want to save the younger generation's family money, we can't lose ourselves! Otherwise, the elders should feel sorry for us, we are also children!"

Sanfujin smiled and said: "It's really a child's talk, you are sixteen now, can you still be sixteen every year? What about 26 or 36?"

Shi Fujin smiled and said: "That's a child too. I, Erhe, said that I must take care of my own size first, to be filial."

Si Fujin looked at Shi Fujin with soft eyes, and said: "My concubine is right, if you live happily, you are filial."

If she has a daughter and wants to marry far away, she will teach her the same way.

Shi Gege has a small appetite, so he adjusted the size of the bowl to the bottom of the sesame cold noodles, and there were quite a lot of shredded cucumber and celery on top.

Jiugege asked in a strange way, "Does my sister like to eat mutton?"

Shi Gege shook his head and said, "I don't really like that taste."

After hearing this, Jiu Gege felt a little worried.

It would be fine if Celeng stayed in the capital, there is nothing wrong with the diet, but if he returns to Khalkha, Shigege might not be used to Mongolian food.

Shu Shu still listened quietly, the Mongolian restaurant on Xiaotangshan was about to open at the end of the year.

Wait until this winter, Shigege can go a few more times, give it a try.

After a simple lunch, the princess's car arrived. Everyone greeted them, chatted and laughed for a quarter of an hour, and made an appointment to come back in the evening, so they were separated.

Everyone did not go back to the South Third Institute.

The days are long in summer, and Si Fujin has a big belly, so it's inconvenient to stay with her all the time.

After sitting for a whole morning, Shu Shu felt a little tired, so she came back to look at the child, and then rested at Mrs. Uncle's place.

Slept for an hour in the afternoon.

It was Mrs. Uncle who pushed her, afraid that she would sleep too much and be sleepy at night.

Shu Shu stretched her waist and said: "I heard that there is a poker game every day at the Grandmother's side. I have to think about a comfortable chair, or I will be too tired."

Mrs. Uncle said: "It's just killing time, day by day, this day passes slowly."

Shu Shu said: "Slow? Why do I feel so fast, just like today, I haven't done anything, and half a day has passed."

Mrs. Uncle touched her back and said: "You are the mistress of the house, so you have to be busy, and the Queen Mother has nothing but leisure."

Shu Shu said: "This year is the grandma's birthday, and I am thinking about what to prepare for the holy birthday ceremony, but I can think about it, a comfortable chair, or a chair cushion."

Mrs. Uncle thought for a while and said: "The utensils in Ningshou Palace are all regulated, the chairs will be abrupt, and good chair cushions can be prepared."

Shu Shu nodded and said: "You're right, most of the furniture is arranged in sets. If you prepare chairs, you need not only the same material, but also the craftsman's workmanship to look good."

It is inconvenient for Ningshou Palace to send chairs, but the chairs in his own study can be pondered over.

The back of the chair has a curvature, and the surface of the chair is also covered with leather, which makes it more comfortable to sit on.

Mrs. Uncle remembered something and said, "Did you send something to the garden dining room again?"

Shu Shu nodded and said: "A [-]-jin fat-headed fish was delivered from the restaurant, so I asked someone to deliver it to the dining room in the garden."

Things are not expensive, but the quantity is small.

It's rare that such a big man is still alive and kicking.

It's not wrong to eat something from home, but there are so many people here, it seems that the couple eat alone.

I have sent fish to the North Garden before, but this time I did not divide it into two, but sent it directly to the Imperial Dining Room.

Mrs. Uncle hesitated for a moment, and said: "There are other princes and prince Fujin here, so I always respect you like this, okay?"

Shu Shu said: "Let's be optimistic."

Mrs. Uncle thought about it for the same reason.

No one can do everything well, so just be optimistic about it.

Kangxi felt a little relieved when he knew that the North Fifth Institute had asked someone to send the fat head fish over.

Finally, there is still some filial piety.

He had heard people say that yesterday the princes and elder brothers went out to the restaurant again, and what they ate was one fish and four meals.

Brother Nine brought them all, and Brother Seven and Brother Ten also started to get hungry.

Knowing this last night, he complained.

Looking at it now, I still remember him as Khan Ama, not bad.

He heard from the kitchen staff that it was a big fish, so he asked someone to bring it over.

It was placed in a three-foot-long wooden basin, and inside was a big fish two and a half feet long.

The head of the fish is more than a foot long.

Liang Jiugong was stunned and said: "No wonder you eat a lot of fish, and there is no such a long fish plate..."

The current fish plate is at the end of one and a half to one shakuhachi.

If you put this one on a plate, you have to use a two-foot-eight one.

Kangxi looked at the steward of the dining room and said, "Did you weigh it?"

The steward said: "Weighed it, sixteen catties and two taels..."

Kangxi nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "The fish head is divided into two, and the fish head is stewed in sauce. Except Yuqian, send a copy to the North Garden, and braise the fish tail to reward the prince..."

With the head and tail removed, the middle body also weighs six or seven catties.

Kangxi said: "Let's steam it. Except for the ones in front of the imperial court, they will be divided into two parts. One part will be rewarded to Huichun Villa, and the other part will be rewarded to South Five Schools."

The steward of the dining room took notes carefully, and led people to carry the fish basin down.

Liang Jiugong and Wei Zhu felt strange.

The emperor is getting more and more down-to-earth, and he knows how to order food.

This is really rare.

Couldn't it be Brother Jiu's fault of being picky, and it has also spread to the emperor, right?

Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Brother Jiu sneezed several times one after another.

Elder Brother Twelve just came back from the East Sixth Palace inspection. Seeing this, he was worried, and said, "Brother Ninth, are you okay? Why don't you remove the ice basin?"

Brother Nine waved his hands and said, "It's a hot day, how can we do without an ice basin? This is because someone is talking about you, and it's designated to say bad things about you..."

As he spoke, he became suspicious of the eighth elder brother who showed up in the morning.

Could it be that the land in Xiaotangshan is expensive?
But it was sold at this price to others, and he had no reason to lower the price.

Anyway, I kindly reminded him, after all, everyone pays attention to following the crowd, if the eighth elder brother doesn't follow the crowd, it's not his size that will be embarrassed.

Brother Twelve held the brochure and said, "I've checked everything, there's nothing wrong with it, and the rest is just laying out."

This presentation is about two parts, one part is furniture, and the other part is curtains, curtains, cushions and so on. They are all used from the Guangshou according to the rank of the concubine who lives there.

Brother Nine nodded and said: "The textiles at Jingren Palace may be prepared by Jiangning Weaving. For Chengqian Palace, there should be a decree in a few days."

Knowing which concubine moves the palace, one knows how to deal with it.

If you just move the palace and don't advance, you don't need to prepare a new one, just move the one you used before.

After all, everyone has one.

If you are promoted, you will have to replace them with new ones.

At the beginning of Shen, the eunuchs from the fifth institute came, and besides the change of clothes of the twelfth elder brother, there were also three brocade boxes.

"For Fourth Sister, why are there several copies?"

Brother Jiu said: "It's too polite, you are still a little brother, and she is not a serious housewarming, it is just a temporary stay."

Brother Twelve pointed to two brocade boxes and said: "Only one belongs to Fourth Sister, the others belong to Eighteenth Brother, Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law."

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "I'm still learning very quickly, I know how to give gifts, Lord, let's see what it is..."

The eighteenth brother's first birthday gift is a string of court beads, made of beeswax, it looks like it's covered with pulp, and it's been a long time.

The one for my family is a red copper incense burner, which looks very simple, like an old thing from the past.

Brother Nine looked at Brother Twelve and said, "It's all given to you by the nanny? Keep your hands tight, don't scatter indiscriminately!"

Brother Twelve said, "There are more."

Brother Jiu picked up Princess Kejing's share, which was also a copper incense burner.

Brother Jiu compared the two incense burners, saw the patterns carved on them clearly, and divided them into left and right.

This is a pair of incense burners!
Brother Nine looked at Brother Twelve, and said, "Prodigal children, this is not how to give things away! This kind of utensils in pairs cannot be dismantled. Two pieces of utensils are worth 500 taels of silver. After dismantling, don't you say One is two hundred and five, maybe 100 taels is not worth it..."

As he said that, he put the two incense burners away and the two brocade boxes together, and said, "Give them all to Fourth Sister. Fourth Sister is not short of money, and she can make up for some valuable gifts in return... I'm with your sister-in-law." Forget it, it’s not an inn, and I have to give you something after staying here…”
