The next day came, March 28th, the day when Baylor Mansion entertained guests.
Compared with the previous guests from Tiancheng County Prince's Mansion, many of today's guests are the same.
For example, if the three families of Prince Yu's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion and Prince Zhuang's Mansion are all close uncles and cousins, they cannot submit posts according to the color of the flag.
Prince Kang's Mansion, Prince Jian's Mansion and Prince Shuncheng's Mansion have long had friendly relations with this place.
There was no reason to move around before, but now I don't move around anymore.
On the other hand, Anjun Prince's Mansion, Xinjun Prince's Mansion, together with Prince Anjun's two Duke's brothers, as well as a group of Zhenglan Banner's Duke's Mansion and General's Mansion, all moved around for the first time today.
Compared with the previous warm pot banquets at the Prince's Mansion, today was a serious treat, and the number of guests increased several times.
However, having just witnessed the banquet held by Prince Chengjun, Shu Shu and Jiu Age and his wife made up for the missing items, and set up the card table in the main room.
It's hard to do this now, there are too many foreigners, and gambling is prohibited in the "Qing Code".
Brother Jiu asked people to clear out two open spaces in the yard.
One side is for setting hoops, filled with small gadgets that everyone uses to pass the time; the other side is for a target, but this is not a common Manchu target, but like a door frame, with a few coins hanging on it.
, there are also some small gadgets placed next to it, such as ink jade thumb rings, tortoise shell thumb rings, etc. There is also a notice board next to it, what will be the result of five arrows, four arrows, three arrows, etc., and what will be the result of two or less.
nor.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu tried it this morning, and Shu Shu hit two out of five shots.
This not only depends on the head, but also on the skill.
So Shu Shu's first three arrows all failed.
As for Brother Ninth, he shot from behind, and he hit one out of five shots.
In the morning, the eleventh elder brother and his wife and the fifth elder brother and his wife came over.
This was because there were so many guests that Jiu Age and his wife would be too busy, so they helped to entertain the guests.
By the time Sichu arrived, Sifujin also arrived.
They are all close relatives and there is nothing to be polite about.
Shu Shu said: "The fourth sister-in-law helped me greet some elders from the royal palace, the fifth sister-in-law helped me greet some of my natal family, and the tenth brother and sister helped me greet some other sisters-in-law and younger brothers and sisters. There are many strangers from Zhenglan Banner here today.
You probably need me to accompany you more. I've been busy today, so I'll invite you to a table later to thank my two sisters-in-law and younger siblings."
Si Fujin nodded and said, "Just greet the guests. The elders are considerate and won't pick on your etiquette."
Wufujin also said: "I'm here to help too, why are you so polite?"
Shi Fujin clasped his fingers and said: "The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law don't need to be taken care of by me. The seventh sister-in-law is not here today. I will take good care of the twelfth and thirteenth younger siblings, and I will also greet Fucha and Fujin..."
Si Fujin thought more carefully and said: "When the guests arrive, they will inevitably have to show off a few children. When the time comes, you have to wipe your face and carry them out for everyone to take a look and then take them down."
Mainly because the women's family members were together, the room was filled with the smell of powder and hair oil, which made people panic and worry about getting sick or something.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Well, when the time comes, I will greet the elders and ask them to be carried down."
There is also an advantage to having many guests. There are a lot of people who are qualified to speak, and most of the others are honest.
In the years since Shu Shu married into the royal family, she has acted generously and treated her elders and female relatives very considerately. She has gained good popularity and no one will deliberately make things difficult for her...

In the front yard, the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother discovered the traps and targets set up in the yard. Before the guests started to have sex, the two brothers tried it next to each other.
The ferrule is made of bamboo, which has excellent toughness and makes it easy for ornaments to bounce around.
Not to mention five dollars, the thread hanging above is made of silk thread, light and fluttering.
The fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were both good at archery, but each of them shot three times, and only the tenth elder brother hit three times.
When the two of them lowered their bows, they started praising Ninth Prince.
The fifth elder brother said: "Yes, it looks lively, but it is not easy to get above the third grade, otherwise all the good things will be lost. The worst is the sapphire finger ring, which is worth a lot of money."
Although the fifth elder brother is generous, he is worried that his younger brother will lose his family.
The tenth elder brother also said: "It's good to have these two pastimes. The elders can have tea and talk in the house, and other people don't have to accompany them."
As for the jackpots for hoops and archery, he provided many of them.
After all, Western items are popular right now, so the best thing about the ring is a two-hanging gold pocket watch.
As the brothers were talking, there was movement at the door.
It's Brother San and San Fujin who have arrived.
After hearing this, the ninth elder brother hurriedly told He Yuzhu, and then went out with the fifth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.
The couple came by car.
When the carriage stopped, Shu Shu also got the news and came out to greet him.
Third elder brother got off the carriage, and then helped San Fujin down.
Seeing the fifth and tenth elder brothers here, he was not surprised and said: "I just thought you would come early..."
Brother Jiu looked at the sun and was surprised that the couple had arrived so early.
The third elder brother has already explained himself: "We are brothers and brothers-in-law, not outsiders. We will come here earlier to help you entertain your uncles and elders..."
Speaking of this, he said with a bit of gossip: "Has Prince Xinjun replied to the post? Prince Xinjun has not been out much in the past two years, and he has a son and everything is enough!"
Prince Xinjun had only one concubine at first, and in the twelfth month of the thirty-ninth year he had a concubine.
You know, Prince Xin is also a man who is running for fifty, so getting this bastard is very valuable.
Prince Zhuang has been depressed in recent years, and this is also the reason.
Also lacking a son, King Xinjun gave birth to several children one after another, but they all died, leaving a concubine and a grandson, and when he was old, he added another son.
As for the concubine, his background was too humble.
My father was the daughter of Prince Xin's concubine and had no heel. She was a maid bought by her natal family in Fujin. At that time, she had not yet been awarded the title, so she was only awarded the title of third-class Fengguo general.
As a result, the eldest son of the concubine died before the wedding, and the girl who married him left behind such a grandson.
This is why King Xin clearly had a grandson before, but his uncles and cousins were still eyeing King Xin's title.
The title of Prince Xin comes from his grandfather. This title belongs to the public, not just to his family.
Now that I have this son, things are different. As long as I survive these few years and stand up, I will be the legitimate heir.
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I'm back. Prince Xin is not feeling well, so he won't come over."
This isn't surprising either.
Since he was exempted from the imperial decree and was reprimanded, Prince Xin did not go out to socialize much, and only showed up for important weddings and funerals in various princes' palaces.
Following the third elder brother and his wife were the twelfth elder brother and his wife and the thirteenth elder brother and his wife.
When they came out of the palace, they set their own departure time, so they went as early as possible rather than late.
Next, there is Dong E's family and the Duke Yiqian's Mansion of Zhenglan Banner.
Shu Shu is here now, so he has nothing to do with strangers like Zhenglan Banner, so he just welcomes the guests from the front.
Fortunately, I was wearing flat flag shoes, otherwise I would have walked thousands of steps.
Many of the clan members of Zhenglan Banner are regular visitors to Babele Mansion and are familiar with this area. They all treat Prince Fujin respectfully, and they seem to be quite familiar with Fujin when they see him.
When Shu Shu saw this, she privately mentioned it to Fucha Fujin and asked her to help greet Zhenglan Banner and other clan members.
This is the best of both worlds, and Fucha and Fujin naturally agree.
Here, most of the female relatives are regular customers, so the atmosphere is relatively harmonious.
San Fujin did not regard herself as an outsider. Needless to say, Shu Shu felt that she was acting like an eldest sister-in-law. The whole room could hear her chatting and joking with the elders.
Seeing this, Si Fujin couldn't help but look at Da Fujin.
Dafu Jin was calm and composed, and was talking to Prince An's sisters-in-law.
Shu Shu, the master, wishes he could listen to all directions and see six directions.
Fortunately, the sisters-in-law were all on good terms with each other, and they each helped greet each other, which seemed to be in an orderly manner.
When everyone was almost at peace, Prince Fujin and Prince Fujin also asked about the children, Shu Shu asked people to bring Feng Sheng and his three brothers and sisters over to pay their respects to the elders.
Almost all of them were elders. They knew that there were three precious babies here, so they all prepared gifts.
There was a royal step-lady who was in her thirties, but she was the aunt of Prince Xin, the cousin of the princes, and the great-grandmother of Fengsheng and them.
It's hard for Shu Shu to remember these strangers, let alone Fengsheng them.
The three children are actually three years old, but are actually only two years old, which is the most painful time.
The elders all loved being picked up by the nanny.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about last year’s arrest of Zhou. Prince Zhuang Fujin heard Prince Yu Fujin mention it several times to Prince Gong Fujin.
I know that these three children are not only well-raised, but also filial.
Prince Zhuang Fujin was not polite and hugged Ni Guzhu without letting go, saying: "I have never seen such a strong and happy boy..."
She herself was childless and had raised a concubine in her early years, but no matter how good she was, it was of no use. After meeting her biological mother twice in private, she was no longer familiar with raising her.
You are used to hearing about Niguzhu "catching Zhou". Who among the elderly doesn't like such a child?
Besides, both Ninth Brother and Shu Shu have a reputation for being filial.
Both parents have this kind of personality, so it’s not unusual for their children to behave this way.
For an old lady like Zhuang Prince Fujin, who has been rich and prosperous all her life, whether her children are successful or not is not important, but being filial is the most difficult thing.
Ni Guzhu had never been afraid of strangers. When she smelled the familiar scent of sandalwood from Prince Zhuang Fujin, she felt that she was one of her own. She hugged Prince Zhuang Fujin's neck and pressed against her, and said with a milky voice: "Mama smells good...
…”
Thanks to her memory, her eyes fell on Prince Zhuang Fujin's ruby earrings, but she didn't reach out to reach for them. She just took a second look at them.
Prince Zhuang Fujin hugged the little chubby girl, his heart trembled, his eyes were red, he touched Ni Guzhu's back and said: "Good boy, you smell good too..."
Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin felt uncomfortable when they saw this.
Now the husband is honored and the wife is honored, what will happen in the future?
Prince Zhuang Fujin is just fine here. It seems to be easier to worry about than others, because there is no bastard. If you want to have an heir in the future, you can only be respectful to the mother, otherwise Prince Zhuang Fujin is qualified to change the heir.
Prince Yu Fujin and Prince Gong Fujin each have their own dissatisfaction here.
Ni Guzhu likes to be praised by others. He is so happy when he hears "cluck" that his mouth water comes out.
Prince Zhuang Fujin didn't mind it being dirty, so he took out his handkerchief, wiped it carefully for Ni Guzhu, straightened her scarf, and urged Shu Shu: "Okay, there are many people here and there is a lot of noise. Don't scare the child."
