In the hall of Fujin, the banquet was all set up, and the people invited to the banquet included Mr. Chen and his wife, Tian Liang and Ling Juan, Wang Ye, Fujin, Yun'er, Xuan'er, and Baobao Beibei, and no more people attended. Of course, there will be no shortage of subordinates who serve their masters, and they all stand behind their masters and those who are invited to the banquet, preparing cloth dishes.

Seeing Yun'er enter the door, Fu Jin waved to her warmly: "Sister, come here, sit next to my sister, come here." Mr. Ling also hurried and sat next to Sister Yun. "Very welcoming.

Listening to Fu Jin call Yunyun "Sister Yun", Ling Juan felt that this was really the "gentle and rich town" mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions", and the title of sister and sister seemed to be very close, so she thanked Fu Jin very obediently and sat politely under Yun'er.

Yun'er is naturally at the bottom of Fujin, and the front seats are the three of Wang Ye Fujin and Xuan'er. Xuan'er has a title, and the prince's title is higher than that of the county king, and major matters in the palace are in a prominent position. Next to Xuan Shizi were Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, and next to them was Tian Liang.

Mama Wang held the baby, and Mama Song held Beibei under Mrs. Chen. It is said that Wang and Song are not qualified to enter the table, they borrowed the light of the two little masters of Bao Beibei, no matter how young they are, they are also masters and need to be held. Baby Beibei gave Ling Juan a lot of face, and when she saw Ling Juan, she asked her to hug her, and the two grandmothers Wang and Song had no right not to let Ling Juan hug her. But without a baby in their hands, how can they still sit here? So it's very uncomfortable. Ling Juan used the excuse that the baby Beibei was afraid of falling in her arms, so she gave the baby to Mama Wang to hold. Mama Wang has a little master in her hand, and it is justified to sit here. It's bitter, it's bitter, Mama Song, there is no little master in her hand, and she doesn't dare to go, which is very embarrassing. Fortunately, Ling Juan is a sensible person, and after holding it for a while, she returned the baby to Mama Wang.

Fu Jin motioned to Mama Zheng, Mama Liu, Mama Liu, and Ji Er who were serving beside him to pour drinks for everyone, then stood up, raised the drink cup and said to Wang Ye, Yun Er and Tian Liang: "Today the prince returned to the house, after a year of running and tiring, under the company and protection of Sister Yun and Tian guards, with a pair of children, I came back smoothly, I will wait for everyone in the mansion, respect to the prince, Sister Jingyun and Tian guards, please Wang Ye, Sister Yun, Tian guards please!" "After saying that, I did it first. Wang Ye and the others also stood up, everyone clinked glasses, and dried. The prince motioned to the girls behind him to pour drinks, and after the cup was full, the prince raised the drink glass and said to Fujin, Xuan'er, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen: "This king and side Fujin and Tian guards followed the master to a foreign land for a year, during this period, thanks to Fujin presiding over the middle feed and taking care of the house, and thanks to the father-in-law and mother-in-law for taking care of Fujin in many ways, this king expresses his gratitude to the three!" So they raised their glasses and drank dry. The prince said, "We have been in a foreign land for exactly one year. During this period, thanks to the careful care of the king in life, thanks to the loyal guards of the Tian guards, it is very hard, here, the king expresses his gratitude to the two! Cheers please! ”

The prince toasted, and Fu Jin asked a few grandmothers around him to fill it up, stood up, raised his glass and said, "The first thing I want to thank today is Sister Fu Jinyun on the side of our house, who has added two children to the house!" To the prince to spread the leaves, my joy is from the heart, I salute my sister a cup! The second thing to thank is Tian Guard, this year, he loyally protected the prince and the cloud master...... This cup I respect the Tian guards! "Drink it all.

"Thank you Fujin!"

Then Fu Jin personally clothed the vegetables for Wang Ye, Yun'er and Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen, Tian Liang, and Ling Juan.

Seeing that the adults drank and ate food without their own share, Bei Bei stopped doing it and protested with "oh oh oh" in her mouth.

Xuan'er said to Fu Jin: "My brother must want to drink something, can you give him some drink?" ”

"Then give a little less." Fujin is the most distressed child, how can he not allow it. Mama Song got the consent of Fujin's vision, and fed a small amount of it to Bei Bei with a spoon, which is bad now, delicious! The big eyes were sewn into a line, and they looked cute, which made everyone laugh. The baby saw that her brother was happy, and she also wanted a drink, and Mama Wang also gave the baby a little, yes, addicted. I was so happy that my two fat hands kept waving.

Fu Jin is considering that the three of them are running all the way and rushing back like an arrow, they must be in a hurry, their appetite is greatly reduced, and they can't eat big fish and meat, so they set up a vegetarian banquet according to the vegetarian habits of the prince. It's really the appetite of a few people, although they haven't traveled a long way, but they are like arrows.

After the feast, Mr. and Mrs. took their grandson, granddaughter, and two nannies back to Mr.'s residence; The prince said to Fujin: "While the sky is still bright, let Yun'er tell you about the gifts for the emperor and the queen mother." These things are not available in our Qing Dynasty, don't let the Queen Mother confuse you; Ms. Ling worked hard to help Yun'er, and Liangzi and I walked around the house. ”

"Go ahead, come back early to rest, I haven't been lying down for a while all afternoon." Fu Jin said.

"Got it. Let's go our separate ways, we have to enter the palace tomorrow. ”

As soon as the prince gave an order, Yun'er and Ling Juan went downstairs to the Dongnuan Pavilion under the leadership of Fu Jin. The person in charge of the key in this courtyard is Mama Zheng. Mama Zheng's qualifications are much older than Yu'er, and she is the highest confidant of each child. The key is the one that represents power.

According to the arrangement of the prince, the gifts to the emperor are placed on the outermost side of the Dongnuan Pavilion, and you can see it at a glance when you come in, and it is convenient to load the car when you enter the palace tomorrow. Yun'er could directly see the bronze tripod and ivory that were gifts to the emperor in the box, and then looked at the label on the outside and said, "Let's open this box first."

Fu Jin smiled: "My sister will open whichever she says, you have to talk to your sister about it." ”

"In fact, these gifts are all eaten, played and used, but the materials used are somewhat different from our Daqing Dynasty." Saying that, he cut open the box with a utility knife, and didn't take it out, and said to Fujin: "This bronze is a Shang Ding imitated by foreign people, not left for many years, but the prince thinks that the words on it mean well, called 'Jiangshan Yonggu', maybe the emperor will like it, so he bought it." In this flat box is carved ivory made of resin material, and there are flowers on it, called 'Hundred Flower Ivory', and this one, which is an imitation jade unicorn made of glass material. When you go to the palace for the Queen Mother to take it out, you must hold the bottom of the box, or it will not fall and break. ”

"Thank you sister for reminding me, do you remember the mustache and bun? We must be cautious, if we break one piece, the Queen Mother will be very annoyed with us. ”

"The slave and maid remember, Fujin can rest assured."

"The clothes in this box are all for the Queen Mother and the mothers, as well as bed sheets, bath towels and so on, and there are also a few concubines. A pocket for each person with a name written on it. ”

"My sister is really thoughtful, and the gifts for the ladies in the palace are all written with her name? Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to mix together, so it would be too convenient, and the Queen Mother would not be picky. ”

"These gifts were all bought by the prince and ordered Yun'er, and the prince knew how many concubines the emperor had, and how many concubines there were in the palace. are all gifts given according to rank, the queen mother and the queen's gifts are the most, followed by the concubine Niangniang, and then there are several mothers who have princes and princesses. ”

"It's good that the prince can think about them when he goes out." Fu Jin also did not open the gift to the Queen Mother. I didn't even look at the ones for the concubines, anyway, there are names on it, just let the Queen Mother send them to them. It's good to be trouble-free, and you don't have to rummage through three boxes.

"The contents of this box are toys for the prince and princess. Yun'er didn't know that Xuegege from our house had entered the palace, but fortunately, Yun'er remembered the number of princesses by mistake and packed an extra set of gifts, and it belonged to our Xue'er. ”

"My sister thanked her little mother for Cher."

"This is a handicraft for the Queen Mother and the concubines, and all the mothers, all of them are small, and they also have names on them, so don't you take them out?"

"I don't take it, I don't take it, it's for people anyway, and I can't bear to see it." Fu Jin said humorously.

"This box is full of food, and it has names."

"Sister, you're too careful in your work, how much effort has my sister saved. Anyway, there is a name, so let the old lady send it herself, so as not to make irresponsible remarks. ”

The maid pouted and said, "The slave thought she could see something new, but she didn't see it, and her neck still hurt." ”

"When you enter the palace tomorrow to see the Queen Mother and get a gift, your eyes will widen again."

The mustache's mouth was so pouting that it could hang an oil bottle.

Ling Juan carefully observed the way Yun'er and Fujin got along, and admired Yun'er very much, neither humble nor arrogant, without a little flattery and flattery, and said everything that should be said. So there was no sentence in the middle, but Fu Jin felt that Ling Juan knew how to advance and retreat.

After reading the gifts, Fujin asked Yun'er to go upstairs for tea. Where is Yun'er willing to go? Looking at Fu Jin's reluctant gaze on the prince, he knew that Fu Jin had something to talk to the prince, so he had no eyesight at all, but he was a little mentally retarded.

"It's not too early, Yun'er still has to take the child to Feiyun Tower, so she will retire."

"It's okay, it's dark, you light a few lanterns for Master Yun. Send a few people back to Master Yun......"

"Fujin, don't bother, the way back is very smooth, not far, a few steps away, you go upstairs, Yun'er retreats." After saying the blessing salute, he took Ling Juan and Yu'er Shui'er and walked back.

"The slave is holding you, right?" Out of the gate, Yu'er's hand grabbed Yun'er's arm. Shui Er naturally grabbed Ling Juan: "Mr. Ling, be careful. ”

It's very quiet, very quiet, today is the first day of the fourth month, and there is not even the first quarter moon. But Yun'er was not scared at all, but felt that the road under her feet was very smooth, and she really felt like going home. Although there is a little bit of strangeness and unreality, it is more down-to-earth. No matter what the world is like outside, this is your home.

"Sister Ling, there are no electric lights, no computers, no running water and natural gas here, it's very primitive, you may not be used to it."

"But the air here is so nice, sweet, with a strong smell of flowers and grass. You see, the stars in the sky are so clear! I haven't seen so many stars in my eldest sister's house for several years. It's certainly not used to being in a new place. Not to mention anything else, I heard that Shanghai educated youths went to the Northeast to join the queue, lived in a villager's house, and ate big dumplings at the first meal, and many girls cried loudly. Do you feel that when you go to a primitive society, don't you get used to it later? Yunyun, you don't have to worry about me, I have survived adversity for half my life, and it is much harder than this. ”

"I know you can endure hardships, but these are two worlds, two social systems, no more casual than if we go to your place, you really have to adapt to it for a while."

Listening to the words of the master and Mr. Ling, Yu'er and Shui felt that it was the language of another world. They are maids and subordinates, and they dare not interrupt the masters, but the fish and the water are very happy, and the master has returned home, and he has something to do.

This journey is not long, and I will soon return to Feiyun Tower, Yun'er's home. The soldiers standing guard at the door immediately clasped their fists and saluted when they saw Yun'er, and then waited for Yun'er to enter the gate to bolt the door. Yun'er stopped: "Wait a minute, you two, I will have to go home in a while." ”

"Huh." The soldiers half-bowed their heads, not daring to look at Yun'er. It was disrespectful to look at the heroine in a daze.
