My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 2 Family Dinner
Walking to the corridor of the main house, Shu Shu heard Jue Luo's voice in the room.

"Ge Ge is getting older, and I will buy four more sets of summer clothes, two sets of pomegranate silk, the color is bright...the other two sets of outer robes are made of solid yarn, Ge Ge is not heat-resistant..."

"The window screens in Gege's room can be replaced, so I use the jade-colored soft smoke, and the rest to make the curtains..."

"I boil a bowl of bird's nest for Gege every morning...I bought two catties of bird's nest before, and I have another catty in the warehouse..."

Everything was related to her, Shu Shu only felt hot under her eyes.

Although she had a fever three years ago and awakened her memory, she knew that she was a person in two lifetimes, and she used to live in the Internet age without imperial power and freedom of takeaway.

But it didn't affect her happiness in this life at all.

It is because of having the best parents and family in the world.

"Gege is here!"

A servant girl saw Shu Shu earlier, and while saying hello, she picked up the curtain and welcomed Shu Shu in.

The next time, Jue Luo was sitting beside the kang, about forty years old, wearing a purple Ning silk robe, thick and long braids tied into a single bun on the top of his head, with no accessories except a string of agarwood eighteen seeds on the skirt.

Several daughter-in-laws in charge stood with their hands down, listening to orders.

Seeing the girl coming, Jue Luo closed the account book, sent the steward's daughter-in-law down, and ordered the servant girl next to her.

"Go make a bowl of almond tea for Ge Ge, and add a plate of jerky..."

When Shu Shu heard about the food, she couldn't help touching her stomach, feeling a little hungry.

Seeing that the girl's clothes were loose, Jue Luo wiped her back distressedly, but she blamed her.

"It's because you, Ama, are so used to you. How old are you and you're picky eaters? You're not as sensible as Xiaoliu. This skinny one is so skinny!"

Xiaoliu is Shu Shu's younger brother, who is seven years old this year.

Shu Shu also felt sorry for herself.

She is nearly 1.7 meters tall, and she was not fat before the draft, a few hundred pounds, but after staying in the palace for half a month, she lost about ten pounds, and she looked thin.

It's not that she is deliberately picky about food, but that the meals in the palace are really not flattering.

Especially for the show girls who stayed overnight, the dishes they serve are all fixed.

There are two kinds of meat, pork and chicken.

Either stewed or baked.

The dishes are just cabbage and radish, and the stir-fry tastes like it's boiled.

It is full of vegetable smell, and it is really unbearable.

Shu Shudun carried it with pasta and milk tea, so he didn't starve.

"I want to eat mutton pot, and braised mutton. I will wait for Zhuliang and they rest some other day, and order more Dongzi dishes..."

As Shu Shu said, she was also hungry, she just felt her tongue was full of saliva.

Shu Shu is the eldest sister, and there are five younger brothers under her, who are all studying now.

Three older brothers, one is a right-wing government school in the Eight Banners, and the other is a government school in Zhenghongqi.

Because of commuting, he leaves early and returns late, only Xiu Mu can catch people during the day.

It was rare for Luo Shi to see a girl showing a childish look, and her eyes became more doting.

"Eat what you want, it's not a rare thing!"

As she said that, she couldn't wait for a moment, so she immediately ordered the servant girl to go to the kitchen to send a message.

"Go to the mutton shop to buy a lamb. It takes half a year. You also need several kinds of Dongzi vegetables. Cucumber and spinach are Ge Ge's favorite food. You can buy as many as you can."

Shu Shu's eyes lit up, and he added: "Go to the fish market and buy a few catties of open river fish to make meatballs. Ernie likes to eat that...Ama loves deep-fried tofu, and I also buy a few catties of tofu to fry by myself. The ready-made ones outside are not clean , all used old oil; I went to Xisi to buy Qizi biscuits, Fusong and Zhuliang both like to use that to go with the pot..."

It was an ordinary day, but the two of them were busily preparing a big meal, and they didn't mind chattering.

In addition to the nine members of my own family, there are three members of the uncle's family next door, and the mother and daughter also thought of it.

It's just a temporary idea, there is no reason to invite people to eat on the same day, it is not a treat, but a tease.

Jue Luo said, "I will send someone to send me a leg of lamb and two catties of small cucumbers... Your uncle and cousin are weak, and they both care about health. They don't eat vegetables that are not in season. Only you, Ah Mou, like to boil noodles with shredded cucumbers. .”

Shu Shu listened, thinking of the freshness of boiled noodles, she became greedy again.

"Then let's make noodles tomorrow morning, cucumber boiled noodles, mutton boiled noodles..."

"Several stomachs, this idea comes out as soon as you think about it!"

Jue Luoshi complained, but ordered the girl next to him to write it down.

After Shu Shu ate half a plate of jerky and drank a bowl of almond tea, she remembered the business and told Gui Dan about her complaint.

Jue Luo Shi was no longer the loving kindness before, and immediately raised his eyebrows and raised his eyes.

"What kind of shabby household is this? Why do things have no rules? Not to mention the concubine's natal family, even the decent queen's natal family is polite to our family. It's their turn to be arrogant? A lawsuit is a lawsuit, anyway, it will be embarrassing. It's not our family! Why are you afraid of the prince's elder brother, the emperor has more than a dozen elder brothers!"

Shu Shu couldn't hide it, so she waved her hand to send the maid down, and then she whispered the "hidden secret" in Jue Luo's ear.

Jue Luo couldn't help being stunned, then smiled and glared at his daughter.

"This so strong and narrow-minded look is really random, just like your Ama, but the elders can solve it with a word, but they want to make these tricks... make trouble as you like, as long as you don't suffer."

*
At dusk, the cousin Fu Song, who had been away for a day, came back.

Fu Song is one year younger than Shu Shu. He is the eldest son of Uncle Shu Shu.

He and Shu Shu have a father and a mother, they look like twins of dragon and phoenix, and their relationship is no different from that of a real sibling.

Because of his family background, he has been removed from the clan, so he can't make up for the vacancies of the clan, and he can't be included in the military register among ordinary bannermen to fill up the "banner vacancies". Fu Song is doomed to be an idler in the future.

In the past six months, he has become cousin Shu Shu's right-hand man, helping Shu Shu take care of the shop outside.

When Fu Song went out today, he obeyed Shu Shu's order to keep an eye on Gui Dan, found the craftsman in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and took the corresponding confession by coercion and lure.

"That bastard's work is really rough... The man I came out to find, didn't even think about the hush money, and gave two taels of silver as the labor fee... I also scolded my grandson in my heart. How can there be such a precedent?"

Fu Song gulped down his tea, and said with a bit of contempt: "Those fake jewelry are made in a workshop related to Neizaoban, and they are listed in the workshop brochure. Are they stupid?"

Shu Shu collected the confession, knowing that this wave was safe.

Fu Song put down the teacup, feeling curious.

"Gui Dan is really willing to pay for the shop? What if he cheats?"

Shu Shu is very sure: "Even if he is reluctant, someone has to be willing... The more prestigious the status, the more face-saving... How can it be this pattern, a majestic prince? Instead, it is Gui Dan, who is probably used to being rampant in Shengjing. I have no scruples..."

Dinner is in the main room today, and the brothers who are going to school in the government school will finish school before starting to cook the pot.

Qi Xi and Jue Luo took the main seat, with Shu Shu on the left and Fu Song on the right, and the other sons sat between the siblings according to their order.

Fu Song is a guest, and according to the rules, he should sit at the head of the younger generation.

But no one in Dong E's family treated him as a relative, they usually treated him like a kid, so naturally he was ranked behind Shu Shu.

In the middle of the table, there are two copper pots.

One is mutton sauerkraut pot, and the other is mutton soup fish head pot.

There is also a table full of shabu-shabu dishes.

Eight plates of mutton, two plates of mutton coriander balls, two plates of fish balls, two plates of baby spinach, two plates of cucumber slices, two plates of fried tofu, two plates of fungus, and two plates of vermicelli.

There are also two plates of mung bean noodles and two plates of chess pieces.

There is also a large bowl of pear and white fungus soup, which is a return gift from the uncle next door.

Qi Xi looked at the fish balls in front of his wife and the plate of fried tofu in front of him, and the corners of his mouth were about to split to the side of his ears.

"Just wanting to eat this, it's because of our filial piety and caring... I count on these brats, waiting to drink the northwest wind!"

Shu Shu personally filled a big fish head and handed it to Qi Xi.

"It's all because of my daughter's unfilial piety, so Amagene is worried..."

Shu Shu entered the palace for half a month, she is not the only one who is skinny?
Jue Luo's body was originally muscular, but it was not obvious, but his round face was somewhat oval.

It was obvious to Qi Xi that his skinny cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were also black and blue.

Qi Xi looked at the head of the fish, thinking that the girl is already 16 years old, even if she asks for grace to choose a husband by herself, it won't take a few years, she just felt sore in her chest, and turned her head to his wife and said: "Why don't we, Big Gege, hire a husband... I can't bear to leave home for half a month, let alone give it to someone else..."

Jue Luoshi glanced at her husband and was too lazy to answer.

As for this precious daughter, it's not that the husband and wife have never thought about getting married.

But after inquiring around, they all lost their minds.

Who would be the son-in-law of a respectable family?
Those who can nod are mostly people from families with flaws, but how can the character of a kid with such a foundation be guaranteed?
A good girl, full of color, her mother's family is also capable, what kind of marriage can't be found?

Do you have to recruit such a person as your son-in-law?
Qi Xi was still sighing.

Jue Luo was worried about the younger ones, and told his eldest son Zhu Liang and nephew Fu Song.

"Looking at the little ones eating fish, don't get stuck... Especially Xiao Liu, who doesn't have a long memory, every time he eats fish, his throat gets stuck... Don't give him fish meat, just boil fish balls."

Shu Shu comforted Qi Xi and said: "Ama, my daughter is not in a hurry to get married, it's okay to wait until the [-]th to get married...Anyway, I won't leave Zhenghongqi's territory, and I'll come back after a stroll!"

Qi Xi also planned the same way, reluctant to let the girl "marry far away", nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, let's not marry far away..."

After hearing this, Zhu Liang hesitated for a moment, looking at what Shu Shu wanted to say.

Shu Shu directly picked up the chess pieces and biscuits.

Zhu Liang took the plate with both hands, and shut up knowingly.

Xiao Liu was eating delicious fish balls, his face full of intoxication, looked at Jue Luo Shi, and begged very earnestly: "E Nie, son, let's be a little Gege too, instead of studying with your husband, you can think about delicious food with your eldest sister..."

Dong E's family ranks among the juniors, the eldest son Zhuliang is the "secondary", and the youngest son is the "little six".

Those who didn't know thought that they were ordering teeth with the long-room cousin.

In fact, they followed the ranking made by their elder sister Shu Shu.

Jue Luo thought for a while, then shook his head to his youngest son and said, "No, who has such a dark little princess? Then don't throw it in your hands. You'd better go to school and wait for Cheng Ding to make a living by himself!"

Xiao Liu shrunk his face into a ball: "But the Three Character Classic is too difficult..."

Shu Shu comforted: "You are the only enlightenment, don't worry, come over at night, I will make it up for you."

Xiao Liu smiled openly and said: "Okay, okay, then I will go to see my sister every day from now on..."

Qi Xi looked at his youngest son in disgust, and remembered one thing.

"Don't bother your sister, study hard with your husband... I'll take you to the palace in a few days... The emperor wants to choose Haha beads for brother fifteen..."
