After Qi Shi returned home, he listened to what the Nalan clan said about their entry into the palace to see the queen mother, glanced at the list of the queen mother's rewards, and said with a smile: "Our family has got a lot of good things this time." ”

Nalan was also smiling on the side, "This is also appreciated by the old man." ”

Qi Shi smiled and was speechless. In fact, Qi Shi was very puzzled by the queen mother's summoning of his wife and children every year, and after listening to Nalan's story of entering the palace to see the queen mother, there was still no answer, and the question still existed. Thinking about it again, when he first returned to Beijing to meet Kangxi, he didn't expect Kangxi to chat with him about family life at the beginning, he cordially expressed his condolences to him for the hard work of dragging his family to contribute to the Qing Dynasty over the years, and praised the work achievements of Kuaqishi, and then cared for the children at home. Thinking of this, I can only say that you don't have to guess the thoughts of the royal people, and you can't guess if you guess.

Later, after the house was cleaned up, the Nalan clan took the three Eruli brothers and sisters out to meet guests, and before going out, they would tell who they wanted to meet. Then talk about kinship. There is no need to talk about the grandmother Nalan Mingzhu's house, the first thing is to visit their family, and Hajilan only learned from Nalan Fangfang that Arsalan and Amber were really sent to Chahar by the Ninth and Tenth Elder Brothers. Then there are the relatives on Qi Shi's side, the Nalan clan took the three Eruri brothers and sisters to meet some relatives in the Dong E clan, and the process of seeing all the relatives is basically the same, saluting, answering some questions about how old they are, and then being praised twice, staying aside and sitting. There are also because of his young age, Hajlan will be hugged by the old ladies while talking. The adults were noisy on the side, and the Nalan clan had been away from Beijing for three or four years, and the news was not very well-informed, so they could take the opportunity to exchange information with people. The ladies and ladies listened to her talk about Chahar and talked to her about the new styles of jewelry in Beijing. When he got home, Nalan began to be ruthless, asking for a needle and thread to reset his clothes. In her words, as soon as she went out, she came out of the village. In recent years, the changes in the capital, especially in the clothing, have been quite obvious, the number of trimmed roads of the clothes has increased, and the style of the hair has also changed slightly. In general, develop in prosperity. Although you don't need to show off your wealth, you can't be too disconnected and too maverick. The needlework began to get busy, and the newly made winter clothes for going out had two more trims, and new jewelry was ordered in the shop outside.

It was a busy time, and it was not long after returning to Beijing that the New Year was ushered in, which was another busy job. In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived. The New Year of Kangxi's thirtieth year, Qi Shi's family had a much more lively New Year than the New Year in Chahar, ushering in the send-off, and meeting various relatives in Beijing......

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Qi Shi began the busy life of Qing Dynasty civil servants who went out early and returned late, and the three Eruli brothers and sisters also resumed their daily study days.

Hajilan's life is also obviously monotonous, drowning in a lot of homework left by the master all day long, reading books and pastimes when he has nothing to do, of course, he goes into the fairyland garden to work or chat with Mu Cang, the shape-shifting tree and the fire spirit.

On this day, Hajlan looked at the blue and bright sky outside, picked up the book called "Mirror History", and felt a little warm in his heart, this is the benefit of having a brother, or said that he wanted this book a year ago, after so many things, he even forgot about himself, and his brother was worried, this feels really good, but when I remembered that Eruri took this book firmly and knocked on her head and said, "Look good!" After that, Hadiran's good feelings immediately vanished. However, the "History of Mirrors" by Sun Yunqiu, an eyeglasses craftsman in the previous dynasty, is still enough to make Hajilan happy for a long time, and only the eyepieces, microscopic mirrors, multi-faceted mirrors, night mirrors, kaleidoscopes, and illusion mirrors are enough for her to sigh about the wisdom of the ancients. Hajlan was reading idle books in the study, and he saw the big girl ring Jasper next to Nalan pushing the door and lifting the curtain to come in, and bowed respectfully and explained his intention: "Gege, a batch of maid rings were sent from the front yard, it just so happens that you don't have to go to school tomorrow, Mu Xiu, Madame asked you to go tomorrow afternoon to see if there is anything you can see." ”

At noon the next day, Hajlan woke up from a nap and washed up again, and Mama Geffohe personally braided Hajlan's hair, and she skillfully divided Hajlan's hair into five parts: the sides of the ears and the upper, middle and lower parts of the hair, and twisted the bottom hair clockwise to the left earlobe with a clip, and grabbed the middle hair to the left, twisted it upwards and clamped it. The hair on the left ear and the right ear is braided to the left, and the hair on the top is braided to the left, covering the broken hair, and fixing the green clip of the mother-of-pearl. Hajlan looked at the mother-of-pearl carved lapel hairpin on his head from the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh from his heart at the delicate and delicate handmade nature of the feudal era.

Hajilan packed up and went to the main courtyard, and after arriving at the main courtyard, Hajilan knew that he was also a soy sauce maker, and he came to observe it, watching his sister Qi Buchen carefully select from the neat girls in the three rows and six columns below.

This is the first time Qi Buchen has done this errand, although he is young, he didn't see a trace of stage fright and panic, watching his eldest daughter methodically ask some girls who are down-to-earth in appearance, Nalan never said a word and carefully observed, and when Qi Buchen hesitated in front of a smart and capable, about fifteen or sixteen-year-old phoenix-eyed girl, Nalan was slightly nervous in his heart, and his face was still silent, until Qi Buchen finally gave up this girl and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, Qi Buchen picked ten girls, each took a word from their original names, and added the word "yuan" in front of it.

Life flies so fast, Qi Buchen was also a big girl in ancient times, and Nalan began to train Qi Buchen in managing family affairs after the year. Today is the first exam after Nalan Clan's training of Qi Buchen, Nalan Clan looked at Qi Buchen's table xiàn and nodded secretly, and was quite satisfied with his eldest daughter's preliminary form of today's selection of Yahuan.

Next, Qi Buchen not only has special training such as family affairs and female cooking, but also all-round training such as words and deeds. Hajlan watched Qi Buchen now completely complete her words, deeds and etiquette, even if you can feel that she is different from others, you can't find fault with it at all, and you will be impressed by it, giving people a natural feeling. Hajlan couldn't help but praise Qi Buchen!

Qi Buchen, who was very curious about the training of words and deeds, said a summary: Don't look back, don't lift your lips, don't move your knees when you sit, don't shake your skirt, laugh when you're happy, and don't raise your voice when you're angry. When Hajlan heard that this was not as scary as what she had seen in the court dramas she watched in modern times, she then thought of her mother, a little sad, she remembered her mother's words in her previous life, "Sit, put your legs well." "Don't laugh so hard." "The sound is so much uncivilized." "Don't be surprised." "Stand like you're standing." "Eat with a bowl of rice...... Hajlan couldn't help but sigh that it had been more than five years since he came to the Qing Dynasty, and all the things of the past and modern times were gone. Alas!
