Kangxi also met with two ministers from the Ministry of Etiquette in the afternoon. After sitting for a while, he stood up and left.
Seeing that the Queen Mother's eyelids were a little heavy, Kangxi ordered the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother: "You should go back too!"
The two brothers responded.
Ni Guzhu looked very happy at first. When he saw Ama and Enie were about to leave, he took the Queen Mother's hand and said: "Mother Uku, I'm going back first. I haven't told Ma Ma yet. Ma Ma doesn't know I'm coming."
I won’t leave now.”
The Queen Mother knew that she was talking about Mrs. Bo, and also knew that Mrs. Bo had raised Ni Guzhu since she was born. She nodded and said: "Good boy, it's time to go back. There is no need to rush back."
"Um……"
Ni Guzhu thought for a while and said: "Then I will come back after lunch break, and you must have a good sleep."
"Okay, okay, Uku's mother will sleep well..."
Ni Guzhu then put down the Queen Mother's hand and looked at the elders, her eyes moving between Kangxi and the tenth elder brother.
Kangxi looked interesting and raised his eyebrows.
Shu Shu stood behind Brother Jiu, seeing that Ni Guzhu was still making trouble, he gave her a knowing look.
When Ni Guzhu saw it, he immediately ran to Brother Ten, hugged Brother Ten's thigh, and said: "Uncle Ten, hug, my feet hurt..."
The tenth elder brother immediately hugged him.
Only then did Kangxi realize that his fat granddaughter was picking someone to hug him. He wanted to kick him when he saw his tenth brother. What could he do with his hands so quickly?
Fengsheng and Akdan didn't need anyone to hold them, so Brother Jiu picked up the little brother.
The two families followed Kangxi out of the North Garden.
Kangxi did not ride on a chariot, but came on foot.
When passing by the elder brother's house, he stopped, looked around at the children again, and told the ninth elder brother: "Find a time, remember to take the children to pay your respects to your mother..."
At this point, seeing the expressionless expression of the tenth elder brother, Kangxi said again: "Old ten, let's go too!"
After the tenth prince lost his mother, Kangxi did not choose another adoptive mother for him because of his noble status. Concubine Yi was in charge of palace affairs and took care of her.
The tenth elder brother was startled, then bowed and said: "My son has received the order."
Kangxi then turned around and took the eunuchs and guards to the small east gate.
The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother couldn't leave immediately. They stood on the corridor and watched the holy driver go away.
Seeing Kangxi and his entourage enter the small east gate, everyone moved.
"call……"
Shifujin let out a heavy breath.
She shrank like a quail for a long time.
Although Kangxi did not reprimand her, she knew that it was not a satisfactory look.
Shu Shu saw this and said nothing.
Know that fear is not a bad thing.
Brother Jiu shook his eldest nephew in his arms and said, "This is too light. It's not even as heavy as Niguzhu. This time I will eat it with his two brothers, and I will eat it in vain."
The little elder brother put his arms around the neck of the ninth elder brother, and was so happy that he was jolted, and even followed suit: "Babai, fat, fat..."
The first place has been swept and sprinkled, which is different from the second and third places.
Shi Fujin held Shu Shu's arm and said, "The fifth sister-in-law should be here too. Then we will accompany the imperial grandmother to draw cards."
"Um……"
Shu Shu nodded, but felt that Wu Fujin would not come.
Her son is still young. If he is brought here and everyone lives next to each other, the child will have to be exposed in front of others.
It is estimated that he will "report illness"...
In that case, it would be the Guarga family.
Who doesn’t like a beautiful and smart woman?
It's just that they have different identities and different positions. Shu Shu and Shi Fujin will not interact with the Gualjia family to avoid embarrassment.
While talking, when they arrived at the gate of the fifth house, the tenth elder brother put down the niguzhu and reached out to pick up the younger elder brother.
"No!"
The younger brother turned around and firmly refused.
Brother Jiu said: "I'll go straight home. You guys go back first. We'll meet at the door in two-quarters of an hour."
Their brothers have to go back to the city.
The tenth elder brother felt lucky and discussed with Shu Shu: "Why don't Fengsheng come over and save my sister-in-law the hard work of taking care of the child alone?"
Here, Ni Guzhu has been placed in the North Garden, and he, a naughty child, is causing trouble again.
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "No, let the three brothers keep us company. It will only take one afternoon. I will listen to my husband's class tomorrow morning, and let my little brother follow suit."
Brother Jiu said from the side: "Okay, don't be verbose. If you are worried about your sister-in-law's hard work, just let more brothers and sisters come over. It's convenient just to separate them by a wall."
Brother Shi nodded and went with Shi Fujin's family.
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu also took the children into the fifth school.
Mrs. Bo is in the back room. In the east wing of the backyard is Xiao Chun with her younger brother, and in the west wing is Sister Hui.
The east wing of the main courtyard is Fengsheng, and the west wing is Akdan.
After Shu Shu discussed with Fengsheng about the addition of a little brother, he directly asked Fengsheng to take him to live with him.
The little brother is still walking unsteadily, but Feng Sheng is so sticky that he shouts "big brother" very clearly.
After settling the three little boys in the main courtyard, the couple took Ni Guzhu to the back room.
Mrs. Bo was taking Sister Hui to thread beads. When she saw the couple coming in, Sister Hui got up and stood beside them.
Ni Guzhu turned around and came out from behind Shu Shu, smiling at Mrs. Bo and Sister Hui.
Mrs. Bo looked at Sister Hui and said, "Go back and have a lunch break."
Sister Hui responded, apologized to Shu Shu and Brother Jiu, and retreated.
Ni Guzhu was already standing next to Mrs. Bo, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
Although she spoke confidentially, she also learned the rules and was not allowed to interrupt when adults were speaking.
This is when I saw my parents wanted to talk to Mrs. Bo.
Shu Shu then mentioned what happened when he went to the North Garden to greet him and stay for a meal, and what Kangxi asked Ni Guzhu.
Madam Bo looked as usual, but with worry in her eyes, she looked at Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu immediately took her hand and said: "Ma Ma, Ma Ma, Uku's mother is so pitiful. She has such a big house and such a big garden, and she doesn't even have a little friend..."
Mrs. Bo: "..."
Shu Shu couldn't help but feel scared. Fortunately, there was no such noise in front of the emperor just now.
Ni Guzhu continued: "Mother Uku is very interested in me. She heard that I wanted to take her fishing and collecting eggs, so she started to miss me..."
Having said this, she stretched out her chubby hand and gestured: "I will stay with Uku's mother for two days, and I will be back in two days..."
Mrs. Bo felt extremely worried and couldn't say anything at the moment, so she patiently taught her: "Then be good, don't be picky about food, don't take the initiative to ask for things, and speak softly to Uku's mother..."
Ni Guzhu nodded, then shook his head, with a tangled look on his face, and said: "But Mother Uku speaks loudly, and everyone talks to Mother Uku loudly..."
Mrs. Bo was stunned and looked at Shu Shu.
Shu Shu nodded.
No matter how pampered she is, the Queen Mother is also in her 60s, and has become somewhat deaf in the past two years.
She was deaf, so she couldn't help but speak louder for fear that others wouldn't hear her clearly.
Everyone who often went to greet the Queen Mother noticed the changes in the Queen Mother and raised their voices.
Mrs. Bo looked down at Ni Guzhu and said: "Then just talk as usual. I just feel tired of looking at Uku's mother and don't want to chat anymore, so you can play by yourself."
Ni Guzhu's voice is not small.
"Uh-huh……"
Ni Guzhu nodded and said, "I'll take my little tiger with me!"
They were ceramic tiger cubs that Brother Ninth brought back from Jiangnan a few days ago. There were a group of twelve in total, and Brother Ninth divided them among the children.
Fengsheng's three siblings and their little brother, three each.
"tiger……"
Brother Ninth remembered something. In the northwest of Yuma Chang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs built a new Tiger City last year.
Several tigers originally raised in Nanyuan Paddock were moved here, as well as several tigers sent from Mulan Paddock. In total, there were more than ten tigers of various sizes.
"When Ama is free in two days, I will pick you up and take you to see the big tiger..."
Brother Jiu said to Ni Guzhu.
Ni Guzhu said happily: "Then I want to ride a big tiger..."
"hehe……"
Brother Ninth would not dare to agree.
A tiger is a tiger, and it cannot turn into a domestic cat if kept in a cage.
He also rides a tiger, this is really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers...
Ni Guzhu thought of Sister Hui who had just gone out, looked at her uncle and said: "I will go to accompany Wuku's mother, let my sister accompany Ma Ma first, and I will leave the Saqima to my sister to eat."
Mrs. Bo nodded and said: "Okay..."
Shushu said to Ni Guzhu: "Take a good nap, and I will send you to find Uku's mother later..."
Ni Guzhu responded obediently and said: "Eni, take a good nap too, and Amma, too."
Shu Shu and Brother Jiu came out of the backyard and returned to the main house.
Brother Jiu drank a bowl of tea and said to Shu Shu: "Don't rush over to the Queen's side. We'll wait until I move the affairs of the Yamen over. But it's the Crown Princess's side. When will you and your siblings go over to say hello?"
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Don't wait too long. Let's go there after delivering the niguzhu in a while. There is also the third sister-in-law who wants to meet..."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I will leave Zhou Song at your disposal. You can go to the West Garden and take him over later. It will be convenient to give things to Xiao Liu."
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's a mess today, so I won't see Xiaoliu. When I'm home, I'll take a day to pick up Xiaoliu."
It was almost time, and the ninth elder brother went out to meet the tenth elder brother and went back to the city...
*
South Second House, main room.
San Fujin listened to his mother's report and was very surprised to learn that the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother had gone to the North Garden with their families.
"Have you brought the child?"
she asked.
The Queen Mother is getting older. We have been living in Haidian for the past few years. Even if we brought our children here, we did not bring them to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother has more than ten or twenty grandsons, not to mention great-grandsons.
If everyone wants to get close to the Queen Mother, it will cause a lot of trouble.
The nanny nodded and said, "I brought them with me. Each of them carried one in his arms. They entered the North Garden. They didn't come out at all. They must have left some food. Then the Holy Spirit passed by. The servants didn't dare to look or move.
Stay aside and wait until the Holy Driver leaves before following you back..."
Sanfujin felt regretful after hearing this.
Why isn't she so clever?
Jiu Gege didn't come, nor did the fifth elder brother. There was no one around the Queen Mother.
My own Hong Sheng is already a grown-up boy, and he knows his facial features well, so if you take him there, you won't fall in the Queen Mother's eyes.
The Emperor has always respected the Queen Mother. If Hong Sheng really wins the Queen Mother's favor, the Emperor will definitely follow suit and promote Hong Sheng.
In that case, entering the palace to study is just a matter of words.
Now, is it too late to follow suit?
San Fujin was a little afraid to make up his mind, so he decided to wait until Brother San came back and discuss it with him...
