Brother Jiu didn’t come back until half an hour after he left.
The convoy is ready to set off again.
Brother Jiu's face showed annoyance and confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Shu Shu noticed something was wrong: "I haven't seen Amma, maybe there aren't enough horses over there..."
"A silver-maned horse has grown just right, and a red horse will also grow..."
Brother Jiu felt his heart aching as he described it: "My father-in-law brought it... It should be given to me and Tong Lao Shi... I don't have any silver-maned horses or red horses under my name... They are all Tianshan horses.
, tall, handsome, strong and well-proportioned..."
What man doesn't love horses?
Which man would dislike too many horses?
Seeing Brother Jiu's pitiful appearance, Shu Shu couldn't laugh or cry: "Isn't there another 'coral'? That's also a red horse..."
Brother Ninth's mouth was obviously curled up, but he still couldn't help but retort: "Isn't that yours? Why, what's yours is also my father's?"
Shu Shu saw him twitching his nose and raising his eyebrows: "You want me to be clearly separated from you?"
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "Coral loves to eat snacks. I'll send someone to the kitchen to ask for some carrots later, and I'll give them to Coral tomorrow..."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him: "I really like the new and hate the old. 'Coral' likes to eat carrots, but 'Dengyun' doesn't?"
"Horses have spirituality. Whoever feeds them will kiss whomever they feed them. From now on, you feed Dengyun..."
Brother Ninth spoke plausibly.
This is Lai Ding’s “coral”!
Tonight’s stop is Lama Cave.
Looking around, the mountains are behind you, and the landscape in front becomes gentler.
When we were stationed, it was still a young couple with two elder brothers.
Arrangements were made for people to unload the luggage, but before they were settled, a young eunuch came over and delivered the emperor's instructions to summon the three elder brothers to see him.
Brother Jiu took out his pocket watch and looked at it. At the second quarter of the day, it was dinner time.
"The food is also being passed around at Khan's Ama. If you ask us over now, we can probably join in for a bite... If we haven't come back in two quarters of an hour, don't wait and eat first..."
Brother Ninth warned.
Shu Shu nodded: "I'm not hungry anyway, let's talk about it when the time comes."
After Brother Jiu and the others had left for a quarter of an hour, Sun Jin came back with someone carrying lunch boxes.
Shu Shu was not assigned immediately.
About a quarter of an hour later, a young eunuch from the imperial court came over to give him some food.
Phoenix eggs and shark fins.
Shu Shu signaled to Walnut to reward him, and Walnut received the first-class seal.
The little eunuch touched his purse lightly, his face became more respectful, and he said one more sentence: "In addition to the three elder brothers, Mr. Qi is also in front of the emperor..."
Shu Shu was not surprised, knowing that Ama wanted to put the horse gift out in the open.
After all, in addition to the prince's father-in-law, he also has the status of the Commander-in-Chief of Manchuria, so it is not appropriate to befriend the prince's elder brother in private.
Shu Shu looked curiously at the plate of phoenix eggs and shark fins.
A ruler plate is used.
The yellow and orange ones on top are fried finely chopped egg droplets, and the ones that look like vermicelli are shark fins.
I have eaten shark fin before, but this is the first time I have seen shark fin with this kind of combination.
Xiaotang set the dining table.
The dishes brought back from the dining room were four items, steamed white duck with mushrooms, sliced pork, yam and fungus, tofu with garlic sprouts, two kinds of noodles, lotus leaf cake, and salt and pepper rolls.
Yams were in season, and lotus leaf pancakes could be paired with shark fins. Shu Shu kept these two and told Xiaotang and others to take them out and share them.
If nothing else, let’s just say that this plate of vegetables is generous in portion.
After taking a chopstick and taking a bite, Shu Shu looked surprised.
It actually tastes like crab meat.
Savor it carefully, and you will find the saltiness of the ham and the aftertaste of the stock.
Just eat it dry, but eating it with lotus leaf cake will give you a different taste.
Despite Shu Shu's appetite, this plate of shark fins was not finished yet.
It's not good to give it to Xiaotang and the others, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
I can only keep it until Brother Jiu comes back to eat it.
After Shu Shu had dinner, she started feeding the oriole.
In the afternoon, Xiao Song had already inquired about Huang Que's recipe from Brother Ten.
Millet is the main ingredient, with melon seeds, peanuts, perilla seeds and egg yolk as supplements.
Millet is the staple food, and melon seeds and perilla seeds have oils that will make their hair shiny.
The yolk is for the feathers. It is said that eating this yolk will make the feathers more yellow.
That is, don’t feed too much melon seeds and other oil-containing foods, otherwise they will become too fat, prone to disease, and fail to moult.
A few elder brothers came back after holding lamps.
Brother Jiu smiled happily and couldn't wait to announce the good news to Shu Shu: "My father-in-law mentioned 'coral'... It means that the coral is out of the public eye. From now on, it will be raised in the Shangsi Courtyard and it will be directly under your name. It doesn't matter..."
Shu Shu is naturally happy.
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came to thank me again.
Seeing the two men's drunken eyes, Shu Shu was startled.
Ninth Prince was feeling refreshed and refreshed, so she treated him as if he was just giving him food.
Who would have thought that drinking would be possible?!
"Thank you sister-in-law..."
The tenth elder brother couldn't see anything yet, but his tone of voice was different from usual: "Ma is good, ninth brother is good, sister-in-law is better..."
Brother Jiu laughed and scolded: "You bastards, can they be compared together?"
The tenth elder brother was unhappy: "Why can't we compete together? My silver girl is tall and powerful, and she is close to me... In my eyes, besides the ninth brother and sister-in-law, I am the silver girl..."
Brother Ninth couldn't stand listening and complained to Shu Shu: "Khan Ama just gave me a glass of wine. After Old Ten drank, he acted cunningly and toasted several glasses with the wine cup...
The thirteenth elder brother was obviously more drunk. He no longer looked like a young adult, and his mouth was almost full of oil: "Brother Ninth, my brother also pays tribute..." He said, looking at Shu Shu: "Sister-in-law, I want to drink some wine."
Xingdan... I haven’t eaten noodles for two days... Red Tiger is also pretty..."
Shu Shu cursed in her heart.
Needless to say, the tenth prince got a silver-maned horse and named it "Yin Niu".
The thirteenth elder brother got a red horse and named it "Red Tiger".
Not powerful at all!
Two names are useless!
Shu Shu hurriedly asked Xiaotang to mix two bowls of honey water for the two of them to drink.
Fortunately, Brother Ten is already sixteen years old and can be considered an adult at this time.
But Brother Thirteen is only so old...
Shu Shu couldn't help but complain about Kangxi.
Is there anyone who can be an Ama like this?!
It’s casual enough!
The next day, the brothers each had a big horse, and they looked very proud.
Brother Thirteen also reined in the horse, came close to Shu Shu's frame, and asked Shu Shu in a low voice: "Sister-in-law, can you prepare some snacks for Red Tiger? It's better than carrots..."
Shu Shu opened the car curtain and took a look. It turned out that the tenth elder brother had snatched the carrots prepared by the ninth elder brother and was feeding his own horse.
Shu Shu handed a plain purse to the Thirteenth Brother: "Ma loves to eat sweet things, this is a bag of frosted peanuts... The Thirteenth Brother feeds it while hiding from others, so that no one has to chew it in front of the Emperor..."
Kangxi advocated frugality and did not like extravagance.
In fact, if it was really troublesome, Shu Shu wouldn't take it out.
The Manchus conquered the world on horseback, and they did not regard horses as ordinary beasts, but as companions and relatives.
Brother Thirteen immediately put it away and carefully put it in his arms.
After the three brothers fawned over their mounts, they all reined in their horses and headed forward, strolling around the charioteer.
All of them were arrogant.
The eldest brother’s mount is also a Tianshan horse, a dark horse.
In its prime, it looks even more majestic and taller.
Naturally, the eldest brother will not pay attention to the new horses of his younger brothers.
The mounts of the third elder brother and the fifth elder brother were both Mongolian horses, and both of them were very greedy.
When they took a break, they both circled around a few horses.
When he heard that two of the horses were given to the two younger brothers by Master Qi Xi, and that the ninth elder brother's was Shu Shu's mount, the fifth elder brother had a smile on his face.
He took out a handful of pine nut candies from his purse, counted them twice carefully, and found that there were sixteen in total. He then gave six pine nut candies to each horse, "Yinniu" and "Coral", and gave the remaining four to "Yinniu" and "Coral".
Red Tiger".
The thirteenth elder brother had just got a new horse, and when he regarded it as a treasure, he said angrily: "Fifth brother, why are you allocating it like this? You lose a 'Red Tiger'..."
The fifth elder brother touched "Yinniu" twice with his hands: "The little girl needs preferential treatment... Besides, children should eat less sweets..."
Brother Thirteen is mute.
The reason why Eleventh Brother's horse looks taller than his is because it is an adult mare.
Although Thirteenth Brother is a male horse, it is smaller than the silver-maned horse because it has not fully grown yet.
He glanced at the fifth elder brother several times and found that the fifth elder brother was not joking, he seemed to really think so.
The third elder brother took the ninth elder brother aside and complained: "Old Ten, Old Thirteen is still young... It's a pity that such a good horse will go to the courtyard to idle around."
The tenth prince said casually: "Isn't this the case all the time? Let's keep it for now and take care of it when we leave the palace..."
The third elder brother looked distressed and lowered his voice: "Lao Jiu, tell the truth. Master Qi prepared these two horses. Did he originally intend to give them to you and me?"
Brother Jiu's face showed surprise: "Why does Third Brother think so?"
What a beautiful thought!
Even if the father-in-law "loves the house as much as the crow" and brings an extra horse to his son-in-law and brothers, it won't be the third elder brother's turn!
There is a tenth brother who is inseparable from me!
And the fifth elder brother of our compatriots!
What’s this got to do with picking on the third child!?
The third elder brother snorted softly: "What's so hard to guess? I have prepared two good horses. One of them must be yours, and that is the one that is not strong enough for Old Thirteen. If not, I will give away the rest."
To whom? I am the uncle of Dong E's family, a serious cousin..."
Brother Ninth was speechless.
I just think Third Brother’s face is really big.
Do you know what a "cousin" is at this time?
I didn't see him going to talk to Qi Xi on the way.
Seeing the third elder brother staring at him and insisting on giving an explanation, the ninth elder brother became impatient: "Who knows... I don't know either. Then third brother, tell me, why did my father-in-law change his mind?"
?”
The third elder brother said angrily: "What's the point of thinking about it? Khan Ama will leave the two little ones to you and your wife to take care of... You are still half-grown children, how can you take care of others? Mr. Qi must be worried that there is insufficient care.
Brothers and sisters, I will help you make amends in advance... "Eating people is soft-spoken, but taking advantage of others is short-handed." Old Ten and Old Thirteen have good horses. Even if they are dissatisfied with something in their daily life, they are too embarrassed to talk to Han.
Amma chanted..."
Brother Jiu was upset and angry after hearing this.
In his eyes, everyone is like a "whistleblower" like him!
