Although there is still Liu Gege between the husband and wife, the fifth elder brother is a kind man and does not really spoil his concubine and destroy his wife.
Except for the time when I stay at another Gege place every month, resting at Wufujin place is almost the same as staying at Liu Gege place on other days.
As a result, Wufujin was not pregnant for a long time.
Especially during last year's Northern Tour, the relationship between the couple became tense and they stayed together for several months, but nothing happened.
Why is Wufujin not in a hurry?
I didn’t expect this to be the reason...
However, Wufujin was open-minded and felt uncomfortable for a while, and then he thought about it.
The matter has come to this, and it is useless to think too much about it.
Once you know the reason and the best days to conceive, you can just prescribe the right medicine.
If everything goes well, the fate of children will come.
If it still doesn't go well, you can't force it.
By the time Jiugege came over, Wufujin had calmed down.
Jiugege came to invite Wufujin and Jiufujin.
Concubine Hui came over with the two concubines.
After hearing this, the couple quickly got up and followed Jiu Gege out.
I was concentrating on talking just now and didn't hear any movement outside.
After a while, the couple arrived at the Queen Mother's cabin.
The Queen Mother sat on the couch, the two concubines sat on the edge of the bed talking, and Concubine Hui sat on a chair.
Seeing the two concubines coming in, the Queen Mother beckoned: "Come here quickly, come here quickly. You two sisters-in-law love reading. Tell the two concubines what's ahead..."
Aunt Bai and the maids who were serving next to her moved round stools.
After Shu Shu and Wu Fujin paid their respects to the two concubines and concubine Hui, each of them got a small stool.
Shu Shu spoke calmly and looked at Wufujin.
Wu Fujin thought for a while and said: "In a few days, we will reach Huai'an Mansion, which is where the water transport headquarters and the river governor's office are located. Starting from Huai'an, plus Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou in front, this is the largest canal on the canal. Among the four state capitals, Huai'an has outstanding people. Han Xin, who sang "Xiao He Chasing Han Xin Under the Moon" on the stage, is from Huai'an; and Wu Cheng'en, who wrote "Journey to the West", is also from Huai'an..."
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said: "Don't talk about these, let's talk about other things, what delicious food and fun places are there in Huai'an, ancient temples, Taoist temples, etc..."
Wufujin got stuck and looked at Shu Shu.
Before Shu Shu left Beijing, she did her homework, but she remembered everything, and then made an introduction.
"In Dong'an County, Huai'an Prefecture, there is an ancient temple built in the early Tang Dynasty. It was first called 'Wenshu Monastery', later changed to 'Chengtian Temple', and in the Song Dynasty it was changed to 'Nengrenjiao Temple'. It was more than 900 years ago. .”
"There is also Ciyun Nunnery, which was built in the late years of the previous dynasty. It is less than a hundred years ago, but it is the place where Zen Master Dajue, a national teacher canonized by Emperor Shizu, passed away. It was more than 20 years ago that Khan Amma ordered a grand burial. Zen Master, he rebuilt Ciyun Nunnery, and I heard that the incense here is becoming more and more prosperous..."
The Queen Mother and the two concubines are both devout Buddhists.
It was enjoyable to listen to and not boring at all.
Especially when I hear familiar names.
The Queen Mother lamented: "I still remember the scene when the imperial master came to Beijing, it was almost forty years ago..."
Zen Master Dajue, whose dharma name is Tongxiu and whose courtesy name is Yulin, is known as "Zen Master Yulin" to the world.
Emperor Shizu not only consecrated Zen Master Dajue as a national teacher, he also regarded him as his own teacher and received the Bodhisattva ordination.
The two concubines also fell into memories.
At that time, they were still in their prime, and they had seen the elegance of the Imperial Master from the side of the Empress Dowager.
At that time, the Imperial Master was in his prime, but he had not been seen for many years.
Concubine Hui saw that the atmosphere was getting heavy and she quickly winked at Shu Shu.
She came with the two concubines because she was asked by the fifth elder brother to come here specifically to accompany the queen mother to relieve her boredom, so as not to make the old man sentimental again.
Shu Shucha said: "There is Hongze Lake in Huai'an. It is the time when river fresh food is on the market. Although the whitebait in Hongze Lake is not a tribute, I heard it is no less than the whitebait in Taihu Lake."
The Empress Dowager's Ningshou Palace dining room is most indispensable for tributes from various places.
Upon hearing this silverbait, the Queen Mother looked at Aunt Bai.
Aunt Bai said: "The dried fish is smaller than a finger, and the scrambled eggs are soaked in water. They don't have any thorns. I ate them once and didn't want to eat them, so I stopped making them."
The Queen Mother remembered it, shook her head and said, "That tastes bland, I don't like to eat it."
Shu Shu said: "Huai'an is also rich in eels. You can make a whole eel banquet. There is a dish of soft pocket eel with thick oil and red sauce, which will definitely suit the taste of the emperor's grandmother..."
The Queen Mother asked: "Besides fish and shrimp, what about meat? Are the meat dishes here delicious?"
The old lady's diet is similar to that of the fifth elder brother, and she rarely eats vegetables.
Shu Shu had eaten Huai'an meatballs in her previous life, which is said to be a traditional delicacy passed down for centuries, but it's hard to say whether it is available now.
It looks like the Huaiyang area, with dishes based on various river and lake fresh foods.
It's really not to the Queen Mother's taste.
What about pork dishes?
Shu Shu thought of something and glanced at the clock.
It's the second quarter of Shenchu, and there's still an hour before I'll be late, but I have enough time.
She laughed and said, "My granddaughter-in-law really thought of a meat dish. It's not from Huai'an, but from Hangzhou..."
The Queen Mother asked curiously: "What's delicious?"
Shu Shu smiled and said, "Don't ask yet. This dish is quite simple to make. My granddaughter-in-law will send someone to deliver the recipe to the dining room right now. You can use it later!"
The Queen Mother hesitated after hearing this.
She is still a vegetarian here.
At this time, the fifth elder brother came in and said: "Royal grandmother, Khan Ama's royal boat is back!"
When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was filled with joy, and she immediately said to Shu Shu: "Since it's delicious, let's ask the kitchen to make more, and everyone can try it..."
Shu Shu stood up and responded, "Then grandson's daughter-in-law and sister-in-law will go down first to see what dishes will be added tonight."
The Queen Mother nodded lovingly and said: "Go, go, let's think of something spicy and sour to appetize..."
This is because he is worried that the holy driver will be tired from traveling around these days and has no appetite.
Shu Shu agreed and followed Wu Fujin out.
Now that the royal boat has been moored, Kangxi will come to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.
When the time comes, they have to avoid the daughter-in-law, so they might as well step back first.
Wu Fujin took her hand and said, "Fortunately you are here..."
Shu Shu whispered: "Even without me, when Yu Zhou comes back, Grandma Huang will still be thinking about food..."
It is not easy to make a person who doesn't like vegetables become a vegetarian.
Wufujin said: "Then with the new dishes, the imperial grandmother can eat a few more bites..."
There is plenty of time left until later.
But Shu Shu didn't delay, and wrote a recipe for Dongpo Pork, and then a modified version of boiled pork slices for spicy and sour dishes.
Both of these ingredients are pork, and the dining room is well prepared.
Shu Shu asked Xiaoluzi to take Xiaotang to the dining room.
With the Queen Mother's instructions, it can be regarded as a decree.
If the "Dongpo cuisine" is rich, all the masters will send it.
Others, the people in the kitchen, looked at the arrangements.
The hot and sour version of boiled pork slices, except for the Queen Mother's, is mainly the one served by Yu Qian.
But even with the command arrow, Shu Shu still asked Xiaotang to take two purses.
This temporary menu change will also cause trouble to the people in the dining room.
After a while, Xiaotang came back.
She rewarded Shu Shu with two purses and went out. She also took two purses, which were heavy and contained small gold ingots. She said: "The steward in the dining room was the deputy steward during the northern tour last year. He wants to come over and kowtow to Fujin." , ask the slave to ask Fujin if it is convenient..."
】
She is the elderly person next to Shu Shu. Because she often visited the dining room during her northern tour last year, she also has a few acquaintances there.
bother you for something.
Mostly they came here for the prescription.
After Shu Shu gave the recipe and went out, he naturally did not hesitate to add it to the menu in the dining room, so he said: "It's inconvenient now, so I disappeared. Tell him about the recipe here. If there is no special instruction, You can use the water card in the dining room..."
Xiaotang agreed and went to deliver the message again.
At this moment, there was movement outside.
It was Kangxi who came with the princes to pay their respects to the Queen Mother.
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin looked at each other, and both of them stopped talking.
After an estimated two-quarters of an hour, there was another movement outside.
Kangxi took the princes away.
The two sisters were not in a hurry to go there.
Maybe the queen mother and concubines also have private things to say.
They worked hard in front of the elders, and the elders also held it in front of the juniors and couldn't let go.
"We won't be branching out next time, right?"
Wufu Jindao.
Traveling on a boat or riding a horse is dangerous. Even for an emperor who has passed his age, there is still an old queen who is worried about him.
Shu Shu was really not sure, and said: "It seems that the main source of flooding is the Huanghuai generation. The emperor also inspected the river construction in this section. It will be fine after we have passed Huai'an."
Wu Fujin frowned and said, "In that case, the Imperial Grandmother will be worried again."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "Shengjia was not in the fleet before, but there should be news here. The emperor is the most filial person. Even if he branches next, he probably won't be there for so long."
Wu Fujin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, otherwise the Fifth Master will also have trouble sleeping and eating."
While the grandmothers were talking, there was a lot of movement outside.
Jiu Gege passed by again, with a somewhat strange look on his face: "Concubine Rong's mother and third sister-in-law are here."
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin were juniors. They got the news and had to pay their respects, so they got up quickly.
However, Jiu Gege waved his hand and said: "No need to go, the imperial grandmother didn't call, even I was sent out."
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin both looked surprised.
Shu Shu had a guess in her mind and said, "Is this... a riot?"
If it were a normal greeting, there would be no reason for the junior to avoid it.
Among this junior generation, Sanfujin is still missing.
Then Sanfujin is the master of suffering.
Jiu Gege waited for the two sisters-in-law to sit down again, and then she also sat down, and then said with a bit of concern: "They didn't come together, they came with the front and rear legs..."
At this point, she felt a little more uncomfortable, pointed to her face and said: "Third sister-in-law's face is swollen, come here and complain..."
Shu Shu and Wu Fujin were surprised just now, but now they are shocked.
Don't slap someone in the face!
Even my mother-in-law.
There is no such way to discipline a daughter-in-law.
You must know that the Eight Banners emphasizes rules and etiquette, not only for the juniors, but also for the elders.
Regardless of the reason, let alone a slap in the face, even if a finger fell on San Fujin, it was Concubine Rong's fault.
Sanfujin went to the Queen Mother to complain, it was all reasonable...
