EBE Chapter 333 Puppy Three Treasures
Chapter 333 Puppy Three Treasures
Chapter 333 Puppy Sanbao
The atmosphere of this dinner was quite good, and there were basically no problems throughout the whole event.
Well, on the one hand, the emperor had just returned to the capital, and it was a time when everyone was happy and nervous. On the other hand, the women in the palace and the women present were all legitimate wives, without a single concubine. Moreover, none of the ministers' daughters were brought in this time. In such a situation, if someone still made trouble, it would be like an eighty-year-old man hanging himself - seeking death.
The next day, Yinreng took over the government affairs. As for Hongye, he finally got a short break after working hard for more than half a year.
The children gathered in the back hall of Buerhe's house early in the morning. Even the three little ones had asked for leave in advance. For most of the past six months, their father and mother had been wandering around outside, leaving them in the capital waiting anxiously. They would only receive letters from home occasionally, otherwise they would think that this unscrupulous couple had really forgotten them and were unwilling to return to the capital.
In the back hall, everyone gathered around a large round table. Jingyi looked much better today. She took a sip of the Tremella soup on the table and praised comfortably, "The soup made by Aunt Liuli here at my mother's place is still the best. It tastes like my childhood, it tastes like home."
Buerhe glanced at her unhappily and said, "Your Aunt Liuli has been staying in the garden the whole time and hasn't gone out with Mother. If you want to eat, why don't you just come over or have her go to your Princess Mansion and cook? Isn't that the same thing?"
Jingyi hurriedly shook her head upon hearing this: "That's different! The taste you experience is different in different situations. Drinking this bowl of Tremella soup right now, it's filled with the taste of home."
Before Buerhe could say anything else, Hongchang took over: "This little brother understands. This is the taste of home. I had the same feeling after returning from my stay in Khorchin for a few months."
Buerhe: "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you use something fragrant, Mother will be happy. It just so happens that this time when I returned to Beijing, Mother brought back a chef from Shengjing. This time when I went to Khalkha, I specially asked him to learn there for a few days. The food is quite good. Today, all of you should stay and taste the skills of this new chef."
Hongye also put down his teacup: "Even if Mother drives us away today, we won't leave. Mother, tell me quickly, have you had a good time recently?"
This time they urged Buerhe and the others to come back. Firstly, Jingyi was worried after she became pregnant. After seeing Buerhe yesterday, she looked much better today. Secondly, it was because the Golden Award Festival was approaching. This year, the Crown Princess was very likely to give birth around that time, and some matters would still require her to come back for support.
Speaking of this, Bullhe looked at the Crown Princess, who was holding her belly and straightening her back. "Have you found a midwife and a wet nurse?"
In fact, originally this should have been done by Buerhe, but since she had just returned to Beijing, it would take at least some time to find out whether this candidate was reliable.
Another thing is that Burhe also wanted to see the results of the Crown Princess's recent training. Although she managed the palace affairs well, there was basically nothing wrong with her.
But wouldn't it be better if she could excel in managing people? She wasn't the kind of mother-in-law who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. She didn't care about the people in Hongye's future room, and similarly, she didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Eastern Palace.
Speaking of this, the Crown Princess felt a little embarrassed: "Madam, I have chosen two midwives from the Imperial Household Department according to the rules, and have also contacted Madam Zhang. However, as for the wet nurse, I would like to use the one from the dowry farm. I wonder if that is feasible?"
She also knew that as the Crown Princess, it was somewhat against the rules to use a confidant from the dowry instead of one chosen from the palace. However, as her mother said, one can only know a person's face but not his heart. The palace's wet nurses had complicated connections, and after being selected, they would basically accompany the young prince for many years. It was hard to say whether the young prince would be closer to her or the wet nurse.
But it’s different if I choose my confidant as a dowry. Her indenture and her family are in my hands. I think she would never dare to betray me, let alone sow discord between me and the young prince in the future.
As soon as Buerhe heard it, he understood the Crown Princess's concerns. Sometimes character determines destiny. Among Han women, the Crown Princess is considered to be independent and strong. It may be related to her family education. They are more likely to take their husbands as the leader and follow the three obediences and four virtues.
For example, regarding the matter of finding a wet nurse and a midwife, Bu Erhe had actually discussed this with the Crown Princess alone before leaving Beijing, and everything was subject to her. But now it seems that the Crown Princess has her own little thoughts, but still binds herself to these rules.
Bull and sighed inwardly: Forget it, I'll just give it a push from behind when the time comes!
It’s not that the Crown Princess has a bad personality, but judging from the current situation in the Qing Dynasty, the woman behind Hongye will not only need to have a strong character and be independent, but more importantly, she must have her own opinions.
Rules are dead, but people are alive. Aren't rules made by rulers like them, to serve them? How can they allow themselves to be trapped here?
But it’s not hopeless. At least the Crown Princess knows how to be roundabout, which is an improvement!
Buerhe's thoughts didn't stop her from answering the Crown Princess' question: "Xian'er will make the decision on this matter. Mother believes in Xian'er's ability. If you have any questions, you can come to me."
Knowing that Burhe agreed, the Crown Princess felt relieved. Hongye watched from the side, his eyes flashing, and he looked at his mother. After seeing his mother nod, he also smiled and bowed in gratitude.
The Crown Princess needed to rest for this Golden Award Ceremony, and Buerhe had no energy to take care of it, so he simply captured Aqiqi as a soldier.
"It just so happens that Hongchang and you will be leaving the palace next year. This time, during the Golden Festival, you should follow me and learn from me. This will also be a good opportunity for me to see the results of your studies over the past few months."
Ageqi was a little nervous and a little excited. None of the servants around her since she was a child had ever taught her these things. It was only after she married Hongchang that Buerhe specially found a nanny to teach her, and only then did she really get involved in government affairs.
During this period, the maids taught her a lot. She has also been trained in how to treat people and deal with situations. When attending banquets, she has gone from being at a loss at the beginning to being able to handle it with ease now.
Ageqi: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, your daughter-in-law will study hard."
Bull and Ageqi's high spirits made them laugh out loud: "No, no, it's just a gold awarding ceremony, not a battlefield. There's no need to be so serious."
Jingyi and others nearby also laughed out loud. Aqiqi was so embarrassed that she hid behind Hongchang, with only her two red ears showing.
At this moment, the noise made by the triplets immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Perhaps they sensed the different atmosphere in the room, so the three brothers, who had gathered in a small circle, turned their heads stealthily. Seeing that everyone was staring at them, they were startled and then smiled awkwardly.
He knew the situation of his own child, so Buerhe said directly and jokingly: "What are you doing? Hongying, tell me."
She pointed it out directly, there was no other way. Hongyan was a smart kid who could argue without any reason. When he talked about some things, they were so long that it took him a long time to get the main point.
Hongchen, on the other hand, is a lazy pig who thinks talking is too much trouble, so he tries to be as concise as possible, forcing them to rack their brains to guess. Hongying, on the other hand, likes Prince Yong, so his way of speaking is also similar, very serious and clear, like an old scholar.
Sure enough, Hongying quickly took out a puppy from under his clothes and smiled at Buerhe ingratiatingly: "Mother, we want to raise Sanbao."
When the puppy was carried out, everyone was surprised for a moment. Even the servants were looking at each other. They had never seen this puppy before. So where did this puppy come from?
Hongye asked directly: "Where did you bring him here from? And why didn't I see him before?"
He knew that his three younger brothers had recently become fond of cats and dogs, and they were always designing clothes for them, but he had never heard that they actually wanted to raise one.
Hong Yan answered first: "I put it in the cuff. Ha Bao happened to be very small and was sleeping when he came, so I brought him in like this."
After that, she brought the little puppy Habao to Buerhe and said coquettishly: "Mother, this is Sanbao, look at it, how cute it is!"
Hongying and Hongchen were not to be outdone and quickly crowded around Buerhe: "Mother, Habao is very cute. Touch him, he's so chubby and feels so comfortable." "Yes, mother, you like Sanbao too, right?"
Bull looked at the chubby white puppy with three black spots in front of him and couldn't help but touch it. The feeling was really good, and he even got a head tilt kill from the other party.
So he nodded: "It's very cute. As long as raising it doesn't interfere with your studies, then keep it! But, was this what you were thinking about just now?"
Hong Yan was impatient, and when he heard his mother asking, he was the first to speak: "No, no, there is only one Sanbao, but we all want to raise one. Big brother has Lai Fu, and we want to learn from him too."
Okay, now I know what the three guys were doing there just now, but Jingyi is a little confused: "There should be a lot of puppies in the cat and dog room, right? Why don't you pick two more? It would be fair for each of you to get one."
As Jingyi finished speaking, her brothers and sisters-in-law beside her nodded in agreement.
Hongchen: "But Sanbao is the most special. There are only three black dots on his back. Doesn't he look like us three brothers? There's no other one in the cat and dog room."
Okay, I figured it out. Because the puppy is special, and everyone likes it and wants to raise it.
"Then who do you think this puppy should be given to? There are three of you brothers, but there is only one such unique puppy!" Bull raised his eyebrows and asked with interest.
At this time, Hongchang also interjected: "Hey, the teacher in the Shangshufang should have told the story of Kong Rong giving up the pear a long time ago, right?"
Hongye was also secretly fanning the flames behind the scenes: "Can a puppy be stronger than brotherhood?"
Children of half a generation are at the age when they value loyalty. After hearing this, Hong Yan thought for a moment and said, "I am the older brother. I will not get involved with this puppy. Let my brothers raise it!"
Hongying looked at his brother and then at the puppy, reluctantly giving up: "Well, I am also the older brother, and Hongchen is the youngest, so let him raise the three treasures!"
Hongchen laughed happily all of a sudden, but after laughing he stared at the puppy, then looked at the lost expressions of his two brothers: "Then I won't raise it. Although I am the younger brother, I love my brothers too. Let the brothers raise Sanbao!"
After saying that, he walked to the middle of his two brothers, and the three brothers held hands: "My brothers care about me and give in to me. I also care about my brothers, so I can't be so selfish." After saying that, the three brothers faced each other and laughed out loud.
The family watched the interaction between the three brothers with gentle eyes. It was Buerhe who came up with the idea directly: "How about this, since you are all so polite to each other, let's keep this puppy Sanbao here with me. It just so happens that after you moved out of Fengwu Palace, I always feel lonely. With Sanbao's company, I can now experience the joy of raising a dog."
It was finally settled, the puppy was named Sanbao, and the owner became Buerhe.
