Chapter 267: The Son's Birthday (1)
The eighth day of April is Xuan'er's birthday, and neither the prince nor Yun'er wants to do it for him, what is the eight-year-old doing so grandly? If you tell someone, you can't come empty-handed, although the prince is small, the title is not low, more than the county king's annual silver, and the people who come to celebrate the birthday must not take two packs of dim sum. But Fu Jin didn't agree, her reason was that if there was anything in other houses, she would be there when people gave the post, and she couldn't remember how many courtesies she had. Xuan'er is the son of the world, and he can't eat a bowl of longevity noodles and sends it away. Another point is that Xuan'er's birthday is the Buddha's birthday, which can't be done too shabby. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs can not tell, and the royal family can't help but give a post. Not only did they save the post, but they also complained that the prince didn't pay attention to them. It makes sense for the prince to think about it, so that the prince's half-brother, cousins and all the nephews are here. In fact, it is to have a meal, chat, and a family of brothers and nephews to get together and have fun. Take advantage of this time to give them all the gifts, and you can also free up a space.
The gift of the prince and Fujin to Xuan'er was a pair of large ingots of gold ingots, Mr. and Mrs. gave a set of four treasures of the study, Yun'er gave Xuan'er an exotic backpack on his shoulder, which was exotic stationery, such as pencil cases, watercolor pens, colored pencils, pencil sharpeners, diaries, bead abacus, pens, gel pens and refills, etc., the book was packed bulgingly, Xuan'er liked it enough, and he liked the novelty objects brought back by Ama and Eniang the most.
Ling Juan had asked Yun'er before this, what kind of gift did her identity give to Xuan Shizi, this scale is difficult to grasp, she is not good-looking, and she is more than Wang Ye Fujin. Now she has a few hundred taels of silver tickets and a few strings of money that Yun'er has given her one after another, but she has never spent a little, because she has never been on the street at all, and she will not spend the money of the Qing Dynasty, let alone what to buy. Yun'er gave her an idea to make a two-piece stuffed animal toy for Xuan'er, which are those good-looking and exaggerated animals in cartoons, and fluffy animals are rare toys that are not available in the Qing Dynasty. When Yun'er was uninhabited, she carried fluff cloth, acrylic cotton, etc. from those small libu heads in the hall to her room, Ling Juan was too familiar with this kind of thing, when she was serving her sentence in a foreign prison, the prison factory produced stuffed animal toys. So according to Yun'er's proposal, he made a Bugs Bunny and a Pooh for Xuan Shizi. Xuan Shizi is a rabbit, and Pooh the Pooh is for Rui'er, both of them are generally big children, and it is not right for Xuan Shizi to have Rui'er. Since returning home, Yun'er has held Tian Liang's daughter even more high, everyone knows that Tian Guard is the life-saving benefactor of Master Yun, plus Master Yun and Mama Zhou have grown up together since childhood, Yun'er has nothing to say to Rui'er.
Yun'er wanted to wait until she had time in the future to make some fluffy animals for Fujin's daughter Xue Gege and baby Beibei, but fortunately, Xue Gege was not in the house, so there was no need to worry.
Don't look at Ling Juan's calm temper, but she is resolute in doing things, and she made two particularly good-looking fluffy animals in one night, and spoiled the fish, water, yue'er, and lotus, so that I knew that this Mr. Ling was indeed a person with a ravine. The fish represented several little sisters, and begged Ling Juan to teach them to make fluffy animals in the future, Ling Juan said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you can rest assured." ”
Xuan'er likes Bugs Bunny very much, and she also likes Winnie the Pooh, but she still gives the bear to Rui'er, because Rui'er looks at Bugs Bunny and Winnie the Pooh very longing and pitiful.
Bugs Bunny has been holding on to Xuan'er since he got to Xuan'er. He has become accustomed to things such as gold, silver, jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and has become numb to seeing too much, and Bugs Bunny has become his favorite.
The birthday celebration of the prince, the manager has always expressed, this year's birthday celebration can not be ambiguous, we must use this opportunity to snub the situation of the prince to bring back some, I thought about it for several nights and did not think of giving a decent gift, so I had to give eight big ingots of ten taels of silver per ingot, and I didn't dare to give more, for fear that the prince would doubt how he could have so much money. The gifts of the others were much lighter, and Doctor Zhu gave a pair of rosewood paperweights, and Mr. Bai gave a large brush wash and two fine brushes. Tian Liang gave a set of tension and arm strength; Mangge, **, and Nalan all gave gifts such as bows and arrows, and armor. Only Mr. Ma Jiaming, the bookkeeper, did not say anything, and he still remembers that Yun'er accused him of keeping false accounts, as if keeping false accounts is a glorious thing that should be done. As for the women in the house, no matter what rank they are, they are all for wearing and playing. Even if it is a belly pocket and an embroidered handkerchief, it is also a heart.
The gifts of the princes and grandfathers of the country are said to be for the prince of Xuan, but it is better to say that everyone returned the favor to the prince and Fujin. Long before Xuan'er was born, the prince Fujin often participated in the half-brothers' various names of marrying, concubines, children's full moons, birthdays, old people's birthdays, daughters and ceremonies and other happy events, to the princes, county kings, and grandfathers of the country I don't know how much silver, gifts, now is the time for Fujin to collect accounts. It's not that she's afraid of losing, it's that everyone comes to the house to cheer her up, and she has a lot of face.
Of all the gifts, Bugs Bunny's economic value is the lightest, but it is Xuan'er's favorite. and Tian Liang's tensile and arm strengths, which he also likes. As mentioned earlier, during her sentence, Ling Juan worked in the prison's garment factory for three years, not only making clothes, but also making puppet toys, tying shoe uppers, making aprons, and making hand-made hands on sewing machines, but this time she sewed by hand.
After receiving Bugs Bunny and Little Cloth Bear, Xuan'er has been holding Bugs Bunny and not letting go. When thanking the guests, Xuan'er raised her light gray fur, white belly, long rabbit ears, pouting tail, red eyes, two oversized front teeth, exaggerated and cute Bugs Bunny, and all the ladies of the clan who came to the banquet were dazzled: they had never seen such a cute toy! The elders with their necks stretched one by one, not to mention that the children in their families will like it, and people who are dozens of years old like them themselves also like it very much.
The daughters of the royal family are much more noble than the wives of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and Emperor Taizong has eleven sons, of which four princes have been crowned princes, and the others are all grandfathers of the country. Not all the emperor's sons can be canonized as princes, they must have achievements and merits, whether they are civil ministers or military generals, they must have outstanding performance in order to have high-ranking officials. Therefore, the great prince Su Prince Haoge, the second prince of Prince Rui, who rescued twice, and the fifth prince Shuosai were named Prince Chengzeyu, these three princes were canonized by Taizong, and the eleventh prince Bomu Bogol was canonized as Prince Xiang by Shunzhi. Only Bomu Bogol has no achievements, and the emperor insists on canonizing his brother, and no one can do anything. However, many royal relatives disdained the title of Prince Xiang of Bogol, and some people sneered that he was a green prince hat in exchange for a woman. Whether it is this reason or not, anyway, he just passed away, and his concubine Fujin was canonized as a concubine by the emperor in the palace, and finally became the imperial concubine.
Fu Jin was immediately surrounded by a cloud of noise: "Second sister-in-law, did you make the rabbit in Xuan Shizi's hand for Shi Zi, or did you make it for Fu Jin?" It's too cute, too pretty, isn't it? Can you tell us how to do that? ”
"Auntie, this rabbit is a toy that we absolutely don't have in the Qing Dynasty, my Debeizi and Xin Gege must like it so much, please, just tell us how to do it."
Fu Jin was a little anxious, she hadn't seen this rabbit before, and when she saw the fluffy rabbit, she thought it was the masterpiece of skillful Yun'er, and when she was a mother, she must know her son's physiognomy, where did she know that it was Ling Juan's masterpiece?
"Brothers, sisters, nephews and daughters-in-law, don't worry, I've been busy with the banquet these days, the rabbit toy may have been made by Fang Fujin for Xuan Shizi, wait until I ask Sister Yun, and then reply to you, okay?"
"It's better to invite Fang Fujin over, and make it clear with us once, so that someone will ask and answer again today, and someone will answer again tomorrow, isn't it very difficult?"
Fujin really deserves to be the descendant of the rich in Liaodong, and immediately saw the business opportunity, and there is no one who does not make money when such toys are introduced to the market. But these princes, county kings, and the princes of the country opened their mouths to ask for a way, if they didn't tell them, they would offend all the princes and grandfathers. Can these people afford to be offended?
"Second sister-in-law, we haven't seen the side Fujin in the house, I heard that he is capable and beautiful, why don't you come out and let us all know each other?"
"Okay, everyone, don't be impatient, girl Bun'er, you go to the backyard to invite Master Yun."
"Yes, the slave will go immediately."
"Second aunt, the son celebrates his birthday, isn't Side Fujin not there?"
"What are these words? Fang Fujin and my prince went out to travel for a year, gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the child was still young, she went back to breastfeed. ”
"You can't afford to hire a nurse in your house? actually let Fang Fujin breastfeed himself? Even if the concubine in our house gives birth to a child, he also has to invite a nurse. "This one is all stinging and coaxing.
"My brother and sister misunderstood, if you want to say that you want to invite a nurse, isn't it a trivial matter to have five or eight? It's that the place they traveled to was another country, and the customs and habits were completely different from those of the Qing Dynasty. The child has been eating the milk of Fang Fujin for half a year, so there is no need to invite a nurse when he comes back, right? ”
Yun'er doesn't like to deal with these different grades of Fujin the most, and after meeting, she has to give gifts to the prince Fujin to say goodbye, greet and socialize with the Fujin of the prince of the county and the prince, say some insincere words, and may be insinuated to "bury" a few words. But it's not okay not to meet, she can't help the prince and Fujin offend people for these little things. I had to be invited by the bun to dress up a little, change my clothes, and follow the bun to the Xiaoyao Hall under the service of Yu'er Shui'er to meet the daughters of the royal family.
"Wow! Second sister-in-law, the side Fujin in your house is too beautiful, right? Dressed so elegantly and so glamorous. ”
"Lord Rui is so blessed, no wonder there are only two Fujin around, each of whom can top thousands of troops."
Fu Jin is angry, and his heart says, your mouth is not so cheap to die? So he said to Yun'er: "Sister, these Fujin saw the fluffy rabbit you made for Xuan'er, they like it very much, and they want to make it for the children in their own house to play, but my sister can't do it, so I have to invite you to come." ”
"The toy was not made by Yun'er, it was a gift from Sister Ling to Xuan'er. However, Yun Er knows a little bit about how to do it. Yun'er tell you about it? ”
"Did Mr. Ling do it? Does she have what it takes? Fu Jin's eyes widened. It seems that this Mr. Ling is really versatile. But on this occasion, she asked her to introduce the method to you, it is really not as good as Yun'er to introduce it, Ling Juan's identity is far less valuable than Yun'er.
"Okay, then ask my sister to talk to my younger siblings, nephews and daughters-in-law."
"Wow! Look, the girl who just went out with Xuan Shizi was holding a bear in her hand, and she was also so good-looking! Please tell us how to do it, right? ”
Yun'er felt that three long black lines immediately hung in front of her forehead. We have a unique technology, okay? But can you afford to provoke it? I have to give you a rough idea. First of all, there is no fluff cloth in Daqing, and there is no plastic button, you go back and do it, the method tells you, don't blame me if you can't do it.
After that, all the women in the house who had seen Bugs Bunny and Little Bu Bear looked at Ling Juan differently. This incident gave Yun'er an inspiration, it seems that there should be a share of Ling Juan in the future teaching and learning mama, this person is similar to Shui'er's personality, and there is an inner show. In the future, making children's toys and patchwork will be indispensable for talents like Ling Juan.
Prince An's gift to Xuan'er is very cute, it is a pair of three-inch-tall little people, a golden boy and a jade girl, the boy is gold, the girl is jade, it is packed in a brocade box, it may have been prepared for a long time, and the workmanship is quite exquisite. Prince Xian is very affordable: a pocket of silver bills, five taels each, one hundred and twenty, six hundred taels, take the meaning of "shun"; Prince Jane's is a pair of jade Ruyi; Prince Zhuang is eight fine tribute satins; Prince Kang's is eight horses, four large and four small; The gifts are all heavy. The prince's half-brother, Grandpa Ye Bushu, gave two eight-year-old little eunuchs, and treating people as gifts was something that people in foreign lands could not think of. The gifts given by other grandfathers are not light, there are the four treasures of the study such as fine inkstones, ink blocks, brushes, and rice paper, as well as toys made of gold and silver.
The emperor hurried from the Forbidden City and gave Xuan'er a pair of brocade boxes framed with bright yellow brocade. One of the boxes contained a pair of four-inch-and-eight-minute tall golden cups (taking the meaning of "four flat and eight stable"), and the other box contained a golden dragon yellow coat embroidered with gold and red silk threads. This gift is heavy enough.
The banquets in the house are basically exotic Northeast style dishes, which are very related to the characteristics of the East. This is the result of the Fujin food tasting. All the princes and grandfathers like to eat the peel of that cold salad. Eat "slurping". These dishes are all made by Master Xu and his family from Fujin's small kitchen under the supervision of Fujin and Mama Liu, and there are also dishes from Yun'er and Mrs. Chen's kitchen.
In the middle of the banquet, the general Ao Bai broke in noisily, probably not expecting the emperor to be here, stunned for a moment, and then asked the emperor to say goodbye to the princes and grandfathers of the country. After that, he said to the prince: "Lord Rui, you are too uninteresting, the birthday of the prince of the prince actually did not say a word to the last general." The last general didn't have time to prepare a gift for the prince, so he gave the coral pearl to the prince. ”
The prince hurriedly took it over, hugged his fists and saluted to express his gratitude, and Xuan'er also hugged his fists and saluted.
