11days ago traverse Novels 11
Ertai is the protagonist today. Logically speaking, he should be sitting in the left hand position of the concubine. However, this banquet is a family banquet, and all the people present are his elders, so he sat in the lower position, next to his third sister Fulinger.

After everyone sat down, the maids who served filled everyone with wine, and then stood on the side of the wine table, ready to serve at any time.

But today is a happy day. The Fu family banquet came to celebrate Ertai. Jingshu said to the maids who served him, "Okay, I'm happy today. It's rare that we sisters gather together to talk about family matters. Don't serve you anymore, go down to eat the mat.

We should stay and serve you. You talk about your homework, but someone has to serve you.

The maids shook their heads together and said

Okay, let's do it yourself. You can go down. After waiting for a long time, you haven't eaten yet. You should be hungry, go down.

Jingshu waved her hand and urged her again

Seeing that the concubine's tone was firm, the maids looked at each other and responded to "Yes", then walked out of the door with their heads lowered and gently brought the door on.

After a few people came to open, Jingshu picked up the wine glass and glanced at everyone one by one. Then she looked at Ertai happily and brought the wine talk. Everyone is a family, so I won’t say much if I am polite. Come to Ertai, my mother, toast you with a glass of wine. Congratulations on your promotion to the deputy governor of the Yellow Banner.

When I heard that my mother was going to toast her wine, Ertai hurriedly stood up with the glass of wine and said respectfully to her mother, "My mother, you toast my son, but I have ruined my son. I toast you for this glass of wine. Thank you for your kindness for raising me. Now my son has established a career, and you can enjoy a peaceful life in the future.

OK, haha, mom knows you are a filial son. Come on, let’s have the wine together.

Jingshu put the wine glass in front of everyone for a round of feinting, and then covered her mouth and drank the wine. The concubines hurriedly followed her to drink the wine.

Come on, everyone is hungry, eat food

Seeing that everyone had finished their first sip of wine, Jingshu took the lead in moving the chopsticks. While she was calling everyone to take the chopsticks, she added a piece of fat chicken to Ertai's bowl.

Thank you, my mother

Ertai raised the bowl and hunched slightly to show his greetings. The Qing Dynasty valued etiquette and his son should be humble and respectful in front of his mother and should not be rash.

OK, sit there, there are no outsiders

Jingshu smiled and said to Ertai, indicating that he didn't need to be reserved. In fact, Ertai was a reserved person again, but in front of several concubines, he still had to pretend to be polite. It would be better to keep polite. This would also increase the concubines' favor for themselves.

Haha, thank you mom

Ertai then said humbly, then sat down and asked casually while eating the chicken that his mother had picked up for him, "My mother, where is Ama and my brother?"

Why

When Ertai asked about Fulun and Erkang, Jingshu sighed first, and then said resentfully, your brother is the imperial guard, he is always by the emperor and rarely stays at home for a while. He is on the evening shift during this period, so he is even less at home.

Then where have I been?

Tonight, on duty at the Military Affairs Office. Moreover, for the sake of Shandong, the emperor summoned him from time to time. Sometimes he had to meet him in the middle of the night. Your body was not as good as before. The weather was cold, and he often suffered from rheumatism and his whole body was in great pain. So he lived in the Military Affairs Office for this period, so it would be more convenient for the Emperor to summon him.

Oh, I heard Ama mention the matter in Shandong. I sent two imperial envoys to the first two times, but nothing was found

Well, it's Ah. I heard that the emperor was very worried about this. You, Ah, are also worried.

Haha, mom, you have always believed in the creed of "Madam does not interfere in politics". Why did you suddenly care about major events in the court now?

Ertai asked curiously. In his memory, his mother has always been abide by the wife and never interferes in the officialdom. I remember that in the past, the mother was evasived by her family for Fulun's affairs.

In fact, people are not afraid of being weak in the officialdom. What they are afraid of is that their relatives are acting like you under your banner. Those who see the sky make trouble for you will inevitably be treated as a handle by your enemies or competitors. There are many people who lose their official position for this.

But Fulun has been an official for decades, but he has never lost too much in front of the emperor because of his relatives. Therefore, he has been doing so smoothly over the years. Today he was named the first-class Duke. It is also the credit of the concubine's dedicated assistance.

But at this time, Jingshu frowned, as if she was worried about why, Ertai put down his chopsticks and asked with concern, what's wrong with his mother? Is there something wrong with her grandma's house?

That's not

The concubine shook her head and was about to explain, but she saw everyone put down her chopsticks. She stared at herself and Ertai with big eyes, waved her hand and said with a smile, "Look at me, why are you talking about business? Today is a family dinner. It's rare for the sisters to celebrate Ertai together. Let's talk about some homework."

Sister Shu, it’s okay, we are all a family. If there is really something wrong with my sister’s parents’ home, let’s talk about it and find a way together.

The one who spoke was Fulun's concubine, a man of the Manchu Zhenghong Banner, with the surname Niuhulu, and his family, Heshen and Lord He

It's Ah, Sister Shu, you often take care of your sisters on weekdays. Now if you have something to do, your sisters will be responsible for you.

It's Ah, Sister Shu, don't make things difficult for you, just say

Let me tell you about Ah, Sister Shu, let's find a way together

As soon as Fangfu Jin finished speaking, the concubines agreed in a slight manner. Ertai took the opportunity to look around the concubines with interest, and secretly compared the characteristics of the concubines in his heart. Fangfu Jin's breasts were bigger, the third aunt's little face was better, and the fifth aunt's snow buttocks were even more raised...

Since the sisters ask me to say it, then I will say it. In fact, it is not my parents' business, but our master's business.

Jingshu couldn't resist everyone's advice, so she said frowningly

What's going on with our master's family? Why haven't I heard of it?

After hearing this, everyone asked in confusion

Even Ertai, who was busy with the delicate bodies of the concubines, also withdrew his gaze and looked at his mother seriously, thinking that something was wrong, what happened? Could it be that someone was dead?

Alas, it’s not the matter between the second aunt’s family. The emperor issued an order to investigate the Shandong case. The second aunt’s family is the prefect of Jinan, saying that it is involved in the case.

Jingshu sighed and explained in detail

The second sister-in-law in Jingshu's mouth was Fulun's real sister, and she was the only sister named Funing. She was about twenty years younger than Fulun. She was in her thirties at this time, and the one in her family referred to her husband, Fulun's brother-in-law, a man in the Manchu Yellow Banner, and a serious official son.

Oh, the second sister-in-law's family is also in it, that's not good. Our master is just a sister who loves her so much when she urinates. Sister Shu, can't you think of a way?

It's Ah, Sister Shu, please give me that idea

Ah, you know the best of our master’s temper. You have always been upright and never follow the rules of your relatives. If you don’t think of a solution, it will be troublesome.

When I heard that a case in Shandong was implicated in the Funing family, everyone was fascinated. In previous years, the Funing family often came to Fulun's house to walk around and brought some fun to Fulun's concubines. In addition, Funing is very good at being a human being, so that the Fu family's concubines have a very good relationship and everyone likes her very much. When they heard something happened to her family, the concubines suddenly became anxious.

Sisters are anxious, I am not anxious, but what's the use of rushing? I heard that the Emperor Long Yan was furious for this matter and ordered him to come down and investigate and deal with it strictly. The emperor was called to discuss the matter when he saw the sky, saying that he would send an imperial envoy to review the case again

Jingshu sighed, feeling helpless

What should I do?

When everyone heard that Jingshu had no choice, they asked depressedly

Alas, you said that the case that the emperor is determined to investigate and deal with is not even helpless. What else can we do with a group of women?

Jingshu and Funing have a very good relationship, but the Shandong case is in a big sensation, and Fulun is also helpless, so Jingshu can only pray for Funing's family in his heart.

Then, let's watch the Funing family beheaded?

After hearing Jingshu's words, everyone's hearts were cold and they asked with concern

Why……

Jingshu sighed without saying anything more

Seeing the sad faces of everyone, the good mood just now no longer existed, she looked at Ertai apologetically, feeling a little sad. After all, this banquet was a congratulatory banquet for Ertai, but now she has become very depressed because she mentioned the Funing family matter.

However, Ertai didn't care about this. He quickly searched the memory of Fulun's sister, his aunt Funing, in his mind. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into Ertai's mind, and memories poured into Ertai's mind like a tide.

When his aunt Funing was young, she was a beautiful woman with both talent and beauty. It is said that those who came to Fu's family to propose marriage broke through the threshold of Fu's family. However, Funing had a high vision and demanded her husband. She delayed her good youth until she was nearly thirty years old. She had been married to a descendant of a full-time official. She had never been a waste of life. Unexpectedly, she had been marrying this fatal case after a few years of marriage. She was really a sinister.

The Shandong case was a hot topic, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as an uproar in the whole country. Qianlong was even more angry about this matter and issued an order to thoroughly investigate the case. Once this case is verified, the main culprit is afraid that he will die, and his family will be implicated and confiscated into the government. The misfortune of Ningkuta being given to the armored people as slaves.

And Funing is Ertai's aunt and a pretty beauty. Ertai naturally won't let her have anything to do. Besides, Ertai is a person who has traveled from modern times. What he most dislikes is the punishment of "continental seats". Funing's husband embezzled and accepted bribes, so why should he be punished for being exiled to be a military force? Isn't this a "squandering talent"!

After thinking about it, Ertai made up his mind. He had to win the identity of the imperial envoy, no matter what. In this way, he could find ways to protect his aunt Funing, and could also go against the gentle and moving Xia Yuhe, Xia Ziwei and her daughter, and travel on the Daming Lake and recite poems. Wouldn't it be a kill of two birds with one stone?

Wow!

However, he was already calculating in his heart, but he did not show his face at all. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for his mother and the aunts, then raised his glass and said with a smile, "My mother, all the aunts, let's only talk about family affairs tonight, not business affairs. Ertai toast you one cup!

As he said that, he raised his head and drank it all, and then lit the bottom of the cup at everyone.

Everyone heard the protagonist Ertai, who was the protagonist of today's night banquet, was not worried. They raised the wine glass in front of them and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. Then, as Ertai looked, the bottom of the glass was revealed.

Then Ertai toasted the wine of six concubines and third sister Fulinger one by one, and then the six concubines and third sister congratulated him one by one, congratulations. After this, even though Ertai had a good alcohol tolerance, he was a little drunk. In addition, people were easily drunk during happy events, Ertai became a little drunk.

Come on, everyone eat more food and drink

After drinking a round of wine, Jingshu was worried that Ertai could not bear it, and was afraid that everyone would drink Ertai wine by saying congratulations, so she greeted everyone to eat the food.

The concubines were also calm. After drinking a circle of wine, the affairs of Funing's family were temporarily put down. The previous warm atmosphere was restored. Everyone was competing to pay homage to the concubine Jingshu's wine, and praised her for being capable without any trouble. She gave birth to a good son. Jingshu was praised by everyone and she was floating in the air. From time to time, she looked at Ertai, her eyes were full of appreciation and kindness.

Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, while the conversation was about to talk, Ertai's fourth aunt Nalanzhu stood up, with a charming and graceful posture, pouring wine for everyone one by one. When it was Ertai's turn, Ertai hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine glass and made a respectful attitude. In fact, he secretly pinched the fourth aunt's straight and fleshy snow buttocks while everyone was not paying attention.

Um……

After being pinched by Ertai's big hand, Nalan Zhu couldn't help but moan secretly, her heart was pounding, and she quickly looked around. Seeing that everyone did not turn their eyes to her, she felt relieved.

She took her hand and knocked Ertai's hand that was touching on her buttocks. She gave him a look and said whisperingly when someone was not paying attention, "You dare to do whatever occasion you want to do it all night, I'll go to your room."
