While chatting, the couple sneaked into Yikun Palace.
Concubine Yi knew that Wu Fujin was entering the palace today and was already waiting.
She was wearing a loose robe, her waist was not obvious, but her face became rounder.
Seeing her two daughters-in-law arriving, she invited them to sit in front of her: "Ningshou Palace is busy today, isn't Concubine Rong very proud?"
Yi Fei felt a little sad.
Looking at what I meant before, there was no Concubine Rong on this southern tour. In addition, Concubine Rong must have begged for it.
It's quite shameful.
Wufujin was kind and said with a smile: "None of the concubines have ever been on a big ship. They all yearn for it..."
Concubine Yi touched her belly and said with regret: "This time I gave her an advantage. I have never been on a big ship."
Shu Shu consoled him: "Khan Amma is going south to inspect the river construction. I heard from our master that he seems to be deciding on some river project. He said that he will have to inspect it in two years. Then you can follow him."
She felt slightly nervous.
They say “one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years”, maybe it’s true? !
With Yifei's cleverness, she could guess the real reason why Concubine Rong was on the list of retinue just by connecting the events of the past two months with the incident of Suo'etu.
But it's normal to not think of it. With the Battle of Ulan Butong as a cover, most people can't imagine that there is something further back.
After all, there were many taboos in the early years of the Ulan-Butong War. So many people died, and all the surviving generals were punished.
Not only did Prince Yu and Prince Gong, who had been highly relied upon before, take over the left leader, they also left it completely idle.
Now that ten years have passed and the reckoning has begun, it seems reasonable.
Who would have thought that this was a cover and the real crime happened more than twenty years ago.
Concubine Yi nodded and sighed: "It's so depressing to be trapped in the Forbidden City. As long as I can go out and have some fun, no matter where I go, it will be good."
As she spoke, she looked at Xianglan.
Pandan went to get two purses.
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "It's rare to have the opportunity to travel far away. Jiangnan is rich, so I can buy whatever I like..."
After saying that, she took out her purse and put one in each of Shu Shu's and Wu Fujin's hands.
Shu Shu looked at Wufu Jin.
In the six months since I got married, I have grown old several times.
She felt a little sorry.
There are not many years for Yifei, but there are many places that need to be rewarded.
Years ago, Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother paid an annual gift to Yikun Palace. However, the fifth elder brother had an example before him. It was not easy to exceed the number, and the filial piety was also numerous.
Before and after this year, just one month later, this filial piety was rewarded as pocket money.
Wu Fujin hesitated and said, "Madam, Master Wu has already prepared the expenses for going out."
Yi Fei smiled and said: "What he prepared is his, and what I gave you is mine. Don't be verbose. It's not much. I just want to give you some pocket money."
Wu Fujin did not refuse any more and just said: "I heard that jade jewelry has become popular in the south of the Yangtze River in the past two years, and some people are already wearing it in the capital. If you encounter it, let the fifth master buy you some..."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi was very interested and said enthusiastically: "When I was born, the emperor gave me a green hairpin with filigree dots. It was passed down from the previous court. It has not changed in color for more than a hundred years. Is it going to be popular again?”
Shu Shu was nearby, but she thought of the blue-burning jewelry.
The so-called burnt blue jewelry is actually "imitation point jade". After the point jade jewelry became popular, kingfishers were scarce and the market supply exceeded demand, so substitutes appeared.
The emergence of Diancui is a popular trend blowing from the south of the Yangtze River.
Shu Shu disapproved, but he wouldn't jump out now to protect the kingfisher.
So if we research blue-fired jewelry in advance, will we be able to saturate the mid-range market?
If the proliferation of burnt-blue jewelry makes blue jewelry less rare, will it slow down the world's pursuit of green jewelry?
Concubine Yi became excited and ordered Xianglan to go to the warehouse to find the hairpin.
After a while, Xianglan came in with a jewelry box containing green hairpins.
When you open it, compared with gold, silver and gems, this green color is really bright.
Wu Fujin praised: "No wonder it has become popular again. It is not luxurious but has a simple beauty."
Shu Shu listened, not trying to be clever, but insisting on educating the two about the cruelty behind the beauty of Dian Cui.
Even if Yifei and Wufujin are stopped, the others won't wear this jewelry?
Tortoise jewelry has been popular since ancient times. Everyone knows that it is a tortoise shell, which has not hindered its enduring popularity.
Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Concubine Yi looked over and said, "What are you thinking about? You don't seem to like this very much?"
Shu Shu smiled shyly and said: "My daughter-in-law is a commoner, but she still prefers jewelry with gems, especially red, such as rubies, red corals, onyx and so on!"
Yi Fei smiled and said: "You are still young, but that's not the case. Earlier, like you, I also felt that you were so old-fashioned, so I pressed the bottom of the box..."
Who among young people doesn’t love red?
Yifei also came here when she was young, so she understands Shu Shu's preferences.
However, this little daughter-in-law acted with restraint. Even though she liked the color red, she did not say that she wore a red flag outfit all day long.
Even if I wore jewel-encrusted jewelry before, it was just one or two embellishments.
It's not like Ba Fu Jin, who wishes he could wear gold and jade jewelry.
As long as you are in front of others, nine times out of ten you will wear a red flag.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, and Concubine Yi kept the two of them for lunch before letting them go out.
Wufu Jin also left the palace through Shenwumen.
Shu Shu personally sent it over.
Wu Fujin whispered: "But is there anything wrong with that little jade jewelry?"
Shu Shu likes things that look good to her, but there is no reason why she doesn’t think they are beautiful.
But he didn't even say a word of praise.
Shu Shu whispered: "I'm only telling my sister-in-law. It's good that she knows. I plan to become a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and do more good deeds on weekdays. If the Bodhisattva opens his eyes and gives a son and a half, it will be me." With Master Jiu's blessing...the jade jewelry is made of kingfisher feathers, and the feathers were drawn alive, which is a bit sinful. I just can't bear it at the moment, and it's hard to spoil the queen's interest..."
Wu Fujin looked ashamed: "I am so ignorant that I don't know that jewelry is made like this."
Nowadays, Dian Cui has not become popular yet. It is not available in the hands of ordinary people, and the production technology has not been spread.
"I'm just overthinking it. My sister-in-law has heard of it, so forget it. Don't worry about it..."
Shu Shu said.
Wufujin hesitated for a moment and said, "Are my brothers and sisters planning to go to Hongluo Temple to invite the Bodhisattva?"
She knew that Shu Shu was her nickname and her origin, so she thought of this.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "When the retinue comes back and is out of service, I plan to go there and invite a Bodhisattva back."
She didn't just deal with it casually, but she really had this plan.
Who calls royal pop this.
It’s good, you can also follow the crowd.
Moreover, believing in Buddhism makes people feel gentle and charitable.
Wu Fujin shook Shu Shu's hand and said with a bit of anxiety, "Then, can I go with my siblings?"
Shu Shu immediately said: "Of course you can. Hongluo Temple's vegetarian restaurant is very famous. It just so happens that we can eat together then."
Her request for a child was a bit of a show, and Wu Fujin was probably really anxious.
Shu Shu thought for a while, then leaned into her ear and said: "Sister-in-law, are you sure about the small days on weekdays? Is the interval fixed? On the twenty-sixth, the twenty-eighth, or the thirtieth?"
Wu Fujin's face turned red, obviously he was not used to talking to others about this.
But she knew that Shu Shu would not let him go without any care, so she nodded slightly and said: "It's almost fixed, from the 28th to the 30th..."
Shu Shu blinked and said: "'There is a saying in medical books, 'There must be a time of mist for all living things in the world; there must be a time of joy and mist for all things to be born.' "Every woman will menstruate once a month, and there will be a time of mist for one day. , in an hour...if you give it to them, the fetus will be born."
Wu Fujin has never read any medical books, but he still understands the literal meaning.
There was longing in her eyes.
Shu Shu whispered: "Before I got married, I, Ani, told me that the day when the two yins meet is the time of mist. Five days before and after, it is appropriate to seek a child."
Wu Fujin's eyes were red, and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
This kind of secret passed down from mother to daughter, the younger siblings did not hesitate and told her directly.
"I really don't know how to thank you..."
Wu Fujin spoke with a vibrato.
Shu Shu said with relief: "My sister-in-law is in good health, and my fifth brother is fine, so getting pregnant will only happen sooner or later. This is just the icing on the cake, it's nothing."
Wufujin said nothing more.
What's the use of empty words of thanks?
She remembered that the fifth elder brother mentioned that he wanted to adopt his son to the ninth elder brother.
After the server is released, you may be able to use this reason to ask for children. It would be great if you can ask for two children...
After sending Wufujin away, Shushu returned to the Second House.
Walnut followed behind, feeling a little worried.
"Fu Jin, what should we do if the manpower is tight?"
Shu Shu sighed and said: "Tell your sister Xiaoyu to dress up more..."
In addition to someone who knows how to comb hair and cook, there must always be someone who can serve you closely.
Xiaotang must take it with him, so let's find a way from Xiaoyu.
Xiao Chun can comb her hair, but only in simple styles.
Fortunately, Tianzi is here now, which saves a lot of trouble.
Walnut nodded and said: "This is the only way."
Xiaosong can only stay in the palace.
When the time comes, you can accompany the Queen Mother and call the guards on duty whenever you come or go. Although it is not as convenient as having Xiao Song by your side, it can still be dealt with.
Since they are all following the holy team, there shouldn't be any chance to go out privately.
When they arrived at the second institute, Shu Shu called Xiaochun and the others and told them about reducing the number of people accompanying them.
She also told Xiaoyu what she meant: "Just before the year, I brought in a lot of mother-of-pearl, some full of mother-of-pearl, some half of mother-of-pearl. If you look at the clothes and match a few, it will be easy to wear them."
Xiaoyu agreed.
Shu Shu said: "I'll give you two months' leave then. You can go out of the palace and open up the makeup shop."
At this point, she told Xiaosong: "You can be Xiaoyu's companion, and you don't have to be confined in the palace."
Xiaosong's mouth can hold a bottle of oil: "But I don't worry about Fujin..."
Shu Shu said: "I am in front of the Queen Mother. I am not going anywhere. I am safe and sound."
Xiaosong drooped his head and nodded reluctantly.
As a result, the girls made arrangements, and when the ninth elder brother came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and learned about the matter, he quit.
"No, I have to take the black girl with me, otherwise I won't worry..."
Brother Ninth was very insistent.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "But Concubine Hui's mother said that when you are away from home, there are many people on the boat, so it is more convenient for you to run errands with a eunuch or a nun than a palace maid."
Xiaotang's position must not be moved.
Shu Shu also wants to take Xiaochun here.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said, "Didn't it mean that Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law are also on the Queen Mother's ship? Then there is no need to bring eunuchs. When the time comes, if you need someone to run errands, just use Fifth Sister-in-law's eunuch."
Shu Shu felt it was inappropriate and said: "I should live next to Jiu Gege, far away from Fifth Sister-in-law and the others..."
She and her fifth brother had a relationship that needed to be avoided. They had to be far apart to avoid the inconvenience of being in a cramped boat.
Brother Jiu immediately said: "Wouldn't that make things easier? Just call Xiao Jiu's eunuch..."
