At noon, Shu Shu had the fragrant scallop porridge.
Mrs. Bo also came over and ate with Shu Shu.
I didn’t save the dried clams for dinner. I also made two dishes for lunch, one was fried cucumber slices and the other was scrambled eggs.
Shu Shu was looking forward to taking this bite and ate it with relish.
Although it is not fresh seafood, it is quite satisfying to eat it once.
But Mrs. Bo, like most people in the capital, is not used to the taste of sea food. She thinks it is too fishy, so she eats the rest after taking one bite.
Seeing Shu Shu's behavior, the uncle said: "Isn't the dining room prepared with sea cucumbers, abalone, and shark's fins? Isn't the one for soaking hair better than these?"
Those are high-quality ingredients, and the taste will be more harmonious after being stewed properly.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "Those methods have the flavor of broth. I would rather eat the original flavor."
Mrs. Bo thought for a while and said: "Now that the river is open, there are river fresh food outside. If you like to eat small fish and shrimps, ask someone to buy some."
Shu Shu felt hungry again after listening to it.
Stir-fried small river shrimps and dry-fried small crucian carp are delicious just thinking about them.
But she missed Pippi Shrimp more.
Now is the time when the Pipi shrimps are at their fattest, and the female Pipi shrimps are all full of seeds.
She touched her belly and found out that she would give birth in March. If she had double confinement, she would only have confinement around the Dragon Boat Festival.
It’s getting dry and hot in Beijing, and it’s a good time to go to the beach to eat seafood.
It's just that at that time, the Pipi shrimps had lost their seeds and were thin, but they could eat other things.
Shu Shu looked at Mrs. Bo with expectation and said, "Ah Mou, when we are out of confinement, shall we go to Tianjin to eat seafood?"
Mrs. Bo couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's a beautiful thought. Three hundred miles and half a month of round trip, just to have a bite of seafood?"
Shu Shu nodded and said, "The seaside is still cooler, and it's also a good place to escape the heat."
Mrs. Bo glanced at her belly and said: "Just stay here this year and don't think about troubles. Even after confinement, you are still weak. You are not afraid of the heat and can't be cold. If you are really hungry, just send someone over to buy it." "
Shu Shu leaned against Mrs. Bo and said dullly: "You won't be able to go anywhere in the future, right?"
Just by looking at the reputations of San Fujin and Si Fujin, you will know that in the eyes of the world, people like Si Fujin are virtuous and virtuous.
When her husband is on a business trip, his wife takes care of his concubines and children at home, and arranges for his concubines to accompany him when he goes out. If she lets go like San Fujin did, and wants to follow her husband out, she will be laughed at.
Mrs. Bo rubbed her back and said, "You can go if you want. Isn't there Amou? Then I will help you look after the little one."o
Shu Shu shook his head and said: "That's not good. I want Amu to go out and have a look."
Mrs. Bo said, "Ah Mou doesn't like to travel far away and ride in a bumpy car."
Shu Shu said: "It's okay in Gyeonggi Province. They are all official roads and are maintained regularly. Go slowly when the time comes."
Mrs. Bo listened with a smile.
After lunch, Shu Shu was about to take a nap.
Mrs. Bo watched her sleep before returning to Ning'an Hall.
How can one hide the happenings in the palace from others?
The fifth elder brother entered the palace, and then people from Ningshou Palace and Yikun Palace came out and brought things to visit Wufujin.
By noon, many people got the news that Wu Fujin was suspected to be pregnant.
Immediately, someone thought of the incident of elder brother digging bamboo five years ago, and some secretly inquired whether the bamboo in Wubeile Mansion was alive.
What did you hear?
There are special novice novices to take care of them, and they are all alive!
Not to mention other places, Prince Zhuang's Palace Chief Shi sent someone to Huairou Villa to deliver a message...
Stop kowtowing all the time, bamboos still need to be taken care of!
The tenth elder brother was in the clan mansion, so he naturally listened to it.
When he arrived at the Yamen and got on the carriage, he smiled and asked: "Brother Ninth, the fifth sister-in-law is really here? That's really good news..."
Brother Ninth nodded with pride and said: "Yesterday, I got diagnosed at the hospital. All the diagnoses at our home are all due to me. If I hadn't gone to Hongluo Temple to pray for a child, how could Fifth Brother be like this?" There's going to be some movement soon!"
After hearing this, Brother Ten felt uncomfortable thinking about the bamboos at home.
If it's a true omen, then it's not a good omen for me.
His shoulders slumped, and he glanced at Brother Jiu, feeling a little lucky.
Fortunately, there was some movement on Brother Ninth's side, otherwise they would have become brothers in trouble.
Brother Jiu, what’s going on here?
Brother Ten was moved and said: "Brother Ninth, when my nephew is born, let me, Fujin, hug him more!"
Brother Jiu said generously: "Just hold me, I can give you one, and I will 'lead' Brother Qi to you when the time comes."
Brother Ten laughed and said, "Have you ever heard of this?"
Brother Jiu hummed softly: "It's not the joke at Prince Zhuang's residence that caused the fuss, who doesn't know?
In the early years of Prince Zhuang's life, there was no movement from his wife and concubines. Taifu Jin was anxious, so he took over his second son, the fourth elder brother of Prince Huijun.
The fourth elder brother over there was the fourth, but the eldest elder brother died. The third elder brother was a concubine. In fact, he was the second son of the county prince's palace.
Prince Zhuang was in his thirties at the time, and he had some suspicions that there was something wrong with him. Otherwise, after more than ten years of marriage, his wife and concubines had been silent.
He agreed to pick him up, and he also had the intention of preparing an heir.
As a result, just half a year after the fourth elder brother went to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, there was movement in the two concubines in his backyard.
When the imperial doctor confirmed that the two concubines had Hua Mai, the first thing Prince Zhuang did was to arrange for the chief minister to send the fourth prince back to the palace of Huijun.
King Huijun felt that his eldest brother was too cold. Even if the concubine was pregnant, the gender was still unknown. Even if a son was born, he would still be a concubine. How could he compare to a legitimate nephew?
In the eyes of Prince Zhuang, no matter who gave birth to the child, what is his is his.
No matter how expensive other people's things are, he doesn't care about them.
The fourth elder brother who was sent back to the Prince's Mansion was angered by Prince Hui, and his servants were negligent and died in a cold weather.
There was a rift between the two brothers, and they felt like the king did not see the king.
In the spring festival of the following year, the family members and the royal family accompanied the sacrifices. King Huijun should have fasted and stayed up all night like other princes, but when he saw his elder brother there, he went back to his hometown in anger.
Later, the imperial censor impeached him, and he dismissed the county king for "reckless sacrifice", and that branch became an idle clan.
Prince Zhuang's side was not far behind either. The two concubines gave birth to two daughters one after another. The eldest daughter stood down and the second daughter died in infancy.
He didn't give up and started the second round of seeking a child.
Three years later, he took in the widow who had given birth to three sons, and there was good news again, it was still a daughter.
Since then, there has been no movement from his side.
Prince Zhuang's betrayal was indeed criticized, but some people believed him about "Yin'er".
In terms of cause and effect, Prince Zhuang did not have a daughter in his life, but the fourth elder brother had a sister in his life.
So there has been no news for more than ten years since they got married, but there has been news for half a year since they adopted the fourth brother.
When Prince Zhuang wanted to choose an heir from his younger brother's family, his younger brother quit.
The title is not that of Prince Zhuang, but that of the two brothers, Prince Ama and Prince Chengzeyu.
Prince Zhuang has no children, so according to the rules of inheritance, it should be transferred to him later.
He is only the king of Gejun, and he is also a member of the clan, and he is qualified to inherit the title of this clan.
Anyway, the lawsuit between the two brothers is well known.
Brother Ten also thought of this, shook his head and said: "Why is this so difficult to imagine?"
It's a big joke that Prince Heshuo, who has never done anything else for most of his life, wants to have a child.
That is to say, Prince Zhuang has a higher seniority, is the emperor's cousin, and is a close member of the clan. Otherwise, he would have been punished long ago for making such a fuss.
Now there is no way to do it. Of the eight founding kings, two of the Taizong lineage must be accounted for, so that the royal family can have help.
Brother Jiu touched his chin and said: "Although Prince Zhuang's branch was awarded the title late, his family background is not poor.
Although their great-uncle did not live long, he fought for more than ten years and made many achievements in pacifying the four directions. The capture was naturally rich.
"Sir, do you want to discuss with Fujin and find a recipe for Prince Zhuang to have a son?"
The ninth elder brother was about to make a move and looked at the tenth elder brother.
The tenth elder brother hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Ninth brother, this will do more harm than good."
Is there any completely effective recipe for seeking a child in the world?
In that case, there would be no heirs among the royal families of the past dynasties.
If it is not effective, it is easy to become angry and resentful.
Even if the prescription is really effective, it is not easy for it to escape from the hands of Brother Jiu.
"Although Prince Zhuang is not the banner lord or the junior banner lord, he is the head of political affairs for both father and son generations. His weight in the clan is different. It is better for us to keep a distance from him," the tenth prince advised in a low voice.
Otherwise, what does Khan Amma think?
If Brother Ninth had already lowered his flag before and was assigned a red flag, that would be easier to say.
They are all princes of the same banner. They look up and don't see each other when they look down, and there are some friendly exchanges.
They are not on the same page, and there is no personal relationship in front of them, so there is no need to show kindness like this.
Brother Jiu said with regret: "Isn't it okay just to do good things?"
Speaking of this, he thought of Prince Zhuang's request for a son and went crazy, and said: "Then what if he comes over? I am not greedy for him, but what if he is greedy for me?"
The tenth elder brother pointed to the top and said: "At that time, we will wait for Khan Amma to make a decision. Even if we really want to give someone a way to ask for a child, it must be Khan Amma's favor. If we, the younger generation, show mercy, there will be an heir." King, how can we repay this kind of kindness that continues to rise and fall? We will not be comfortable with each other in the future!"
Brother Jiu listened to the advice and nodded: "That's right. Great favors turn into enemies. This is not how favors are sold!"
When he returned to the Prince's Mansion, Brother Ninth mentioned the matter to Shu Shu, still regretting: "I really want to find a way to get Prince Zhuang a prescription. Not to mention real money, even adding a Haidian Zhuangzi is enough." That's right, their family has a village, which is between Changchun Garden and Baiwang Mountain. It's a better location than the village the prince gave me."
The Prince's Zhuangzi was the one previously managed by the Li Gege family in Yuqing Palace. Although they took it over, they did not plan to build a separate courtyard there.
Shu Shu heard this and thought of Brother Sixteen.
Prince Zhuang's Mansion is a big leak.
It's better not to take advantage of that.
She said: "Even if I have good intentions, my tenth brother is right. My status is indeed not suitable for being too close to the clan.) Also, there is a saying about the fate of the heirs. Although we do not eat fast and chant Buddha's name, we still do it." For those who have done good deeds and accumulated merit, Prince Zhuang’s behavior is a bit unethical..."
Brother Jiu blinked and said, "What good things have we done? With the incense and candles offered by the imperial grandmother during her southern tour? In that case, didn't Prince Zhuang do more?"
They have prayed to God and worshiped Buddha there for decades.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "It's not that. I forgot. When we went to Hongluo Temple, I mentioned that the people in Gyeonggi were poor. I was thinking about how to enrich the people, and then I asked people to try planting corn and potatoes..."
Brother Jiu was stunned and said: "Is this merit?"
Shu Shu nodded without hesitation: "Of course, this is the merit of bringing all people to life."
"But it was just an idea at that time. The greenhouse was built after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Didn't the child get it in early August?" Brother Jiu had a doubtful face, always feeling that this statement was too far-fetched.
Shu Shuzhengse said: "Taoists say, 'A house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed.' Buddhism says, 'One thought is the origin of hundreds of conditions.') They all have the same meaning, 'Every thought in the heart is the cause, and everything you experience at the moment is the result. '…”
Brother Jiu was fascinated by what he heard and murmured: "Then Prince Zhuang has no heir, is it also his cause and effect?"
Even if it wasn't intentional, the nephew's death was still related to him.
After a while, he looked at Shu Shu and said: "I also feel that I am involved in cause and effect. You are my cause, and I am your effect..."
