Chapter 34: The Birthday Banquet (1)
In the blink of an eye, it was soon September 16th, that is, the day when the birthday banquet was held for the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and Hajlan. Early in the morning, Hajlan was called up again by Mama Geffohe, and when he opened his eyes, it was still dark, and it seemed to be late at night.
"Gege, today is a big day, let's go to the main house earlier, there are still a lot of things to prepare, come, this time grandma will come and hug you, it's still dark." Mama Gefohe said kindly.
Hajilan was hazy and was carried by Gefrehe Mama to the main house where he asked for peace to Xiaozhuang every day, as soon as he entered the house, Hajilan knew that he had come really early, the queen mother, Wen Guifei, Concubine Yi and the two concubines arrived, and there were nine elder brothers, ten elder brothers and little milk dolls held in the arms of Mama Grandma (Hajilan estimated that this should be the thirteenth elder brother). Hajlan obediently greeted Xiaozhuang, and then saluted the queen mother, Concubine Wen, Concubine Yi and the two concubines, and finally greeted the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother of the milk doll.
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "No courtesy! ”
Brother Ten said boldly: "That's it, Hajilan is the master's life-saving benefactor, the ceremony will be waived, who of us is with whom, you are like the master's sister, in the future, the master will cover you in the palace, whoever bullies you, you tell me, the master must beat the bully people all over the ground looking for teeth." Brother Jiu, you say yes! ”
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Yes, if there is anything in the future, with me, don't be afraid!" ”
Hadiran listened to these words with a black line, and bowed his head speechlessly and pretended to be shy.
The Queen Mother smiled: "That's it, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi are two years older than Hajilan, you have to take care of Hajilan like a sister!" ”
Xiaozhuang looked at these with a smile, until the Queen Mother finished speaking, and said, "Okay, let's go here today, and in the future, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi will often come to Cining Palace to play with Hajilan." Su Ma took the ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, the thirteenth elder brother and Hajilan to Xinuan Pavilion to change into the four sets of clothes specially made for this birthday banquet, so that it looked festive and lively. ”
"Yes, Empress Dowager." Su Mala replied respectfully.
The ninth elder brother, the tenth elder brother, and the grandmother and Hajilan who were holding the thirteenth elder brother followed Su Mala to the Xinuan Pavilion, and then Su Mala Gu held a bunch of clothes in her hand and handed them to the palace maids who were serving in the Xinuan Pavilion, and commanded the palace maids to change into the three elder brothers and Ha Jilan.
As soon as Hajlan entered the warm pavilion, she was speechless and was forcibly hugged by Brother Jiu on the kang, she saw that when Su Mala Gu brought the clothes, she moved to the side of the kang, took the clothes handed over by the palace maid, shook them open and looked at them, and found that although the clothes were red, they were not complicated, and they looked good, so she obediently asked the palace maid to change them for her.
At that end, Brother Ten took the red clothes and threw them aside, turned his head and ignored people, looking angry. Hajlan asked curiously, "Brother Ten, what's wrong, why don't you change your clothes?" ”
"Hmph, such a red dress is so feminine, this is not what a man like us should wear. Brother Jiu, you said yes, right? Brother Ten said.
Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, glanced at the clothes in the palace maid's hand, and said, "Come, hurry up and wait for the marquis to change his clothes, you are the only one who asks!" ”
Hajlan listened to it with a black line, what a child, full of words, it was really ......
Hajlan looked there again and turned his head to ignore people, looking angry and couldn't help but glance at the ninth brother who had already begun to dress, looking at the tenth elder brother who ignored himself and immediately pouted, he was actually very good, his skin was white and tender, his fat body was extremely cute, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and tiger head. From these few meetings, it can be seen that Hajilan found that Brother Ten seems to be a straightforward little boy, and he is really not as precocious and introverted as a child born in the royal family, but is very straightforward, it seems to be a intestine to the end, Hajilan likes such people, such people are not tired themselves, others are not tired, such people don't need to guess, he himself will quickly sue you or be angry, and get along with people like this simply and simply. So from this point of view, the character of the tenth elder brother can be said to be a strange thing for the Qing Dynasty royal family.
Hajlan got dressed, jumped off the kang, walked to the side of the tenth elder brother, stretched out his chubby two little hands, pulled the tenth elder brother and said: "Ten elder brother, today is the day when we hold a birthday banquet together, so we must dress up beautifully, and the red looks so festive and lively, the tenth elder brother doesn't want to see the queen mother, the queen mother, the emperor and the concubine Wen Xi disappointed, right?" Besides, Brother Ten looks very good in this suit, he looks very majestic, I don't believe you will ask Brother Nine when you put it on. ”
Listening to Hajilan's neat speech, the little voice is called a beauty, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate, although these palace maids and eunuchs in Xinuan Pavilion don't know what big beads and small beads, but they also know that Hajilan's voice is very good, and I feel that the two-year-old little girl can say such a large paragraph, and it is very coherent and tight, it is very amazing, it is really an impressive little girl, and if Hajilan can persuade the tenth elder brother to put on his clothes and not make trouble, then they are really thankful, The little ancestor of the tenth elder brother is still a little stubborn, and he doesn't dare to say that it's really bad to be a slave, Hajilan's actions really make them sincerely grateful, if today's birthday banquet is delayed because the tenth elder brother has been unwilling to wear this suit, then in the end it is the people who serve them who will be punished miserably! The palace maids and eunuchs of the Xinuan Pavilion silently cast grateful glances at Hajilan. Aunt Su Mala was also very pleased to look at the little Hajlan and smiled lovingly.
Ten Elder Brother listened to Hajlan's words, felt very reasonable, glanced at the Ninth Elder Brother who was already dressed up, and muttered in a low voice: "The Ninth Brother seems to have said that a good child should listen to the words of adults, and he can't let his parents be too tired, and he also said that Huang Ama is very tired to deal with state affairs and family affairs every day, after seeing us, Yinqi is not allowed to let Huang Ama worry about being angry, Yinqi is a good child, listening to the words of Brother Jiu, he will not be tired of Huang Ama, let alone make Huang Ama angry, and also make Huang Duo Luoma, Huang Ma Ma and Eniang happy, Can't make them sad, last time Yinqi laughed naughtily and almost choked on Jelly Beans, Huangdo Luo Ma Ma and Huang Ma Ma were so anxious, Eniang was crying so much that her eyes were swollen like peaches, alas, this time Yinqi had to be more obedient, so ...... Hey, Brother Jiu is also good in this suit, maybe ......"
Brother Ten straightened his small chest and said loudly: "You come to serve the Hou Ye to change clothes." ”
Seeing that Brother Shi's chubby little face with baby fat made such a serious look, and he was still holding his small chest and posing as an adult, Hajlan, who was happy, laughed, and really felt that Brother Shi was cute and tight.
The palace maid who had been holding the clothes let out a sigh of relief, and said in her heart: "Little Ancestor, you are finally going to wear it, thank God!" Quickly serving the tenth elder brother and getting dressed, the palace maid retreated silently with a sigh of relief.
Brother Ten got dressed and stood in front of Brother Jiu, Brother Nine immediately smiled and said, "Old Ten, yes, look at us wearing brothers' clothes, this will envy other brothers!" ”
"Yes, yes. Now I found out that red is not so feminine, our two brothers still look very majestic," the tenth elder brother said beautifully, and then hooked up with the ninth elder brother and put the two brothers on their backs.
Who knew that the ninth elder brother, who had a deep brotherly relationship with the tenth elder brother, turned around and smiled at Hajilan again, raised his eyebrows, and finally made Hajilan wink at her helplessly.
