After listening to Aunt Jiayi's words, Qin Keqing suddenly became energetic.
Pregnant?
Her face blushed shyly, and the eyes she looked at Brother Rong showed even more affection. As if Brother Rong was about to melt, he heard Aunt Jiayi say: "Excuse me, Auntie, I took the trouble to come over."
Jiayi smiled and said: "The maids and ladies are still not waiting for your grandma to change? Find an ordinary room, make a bed, and invite your grandma to come over. The maids in the Lord's room had to avoid the imperial doctor and stay Two women are waiting in the room, and the curtains have to be closed when diagnosing the pulse. I can't even let the imperial doctor see even half of my fingernails."
Is it possible that we need to conduct a suture consultation?
Is this reliable?
Although Brother Rong didn't want his wife to be exposed in front of outsiders, he felt that it was unnecessary. What if the diagnosis goes wrong?
"Is this accurate?"
Jiayi consoled her, "That's right. The imperial doctor asked about all the happy pulses of the empress in recent years. This old gentleman is worshiped by the palace. The empress sent him here, but she really treats Grandma Rong as her daughter. Uncle. Don’t worry about anything else, let Grandma Rong cover her hands with a scarf when diagnosing the pulse, and the old imperial doctor will not have any contact with Grandma Rong.”
After hearing this, Brother Rong was relieved.
It's not just the hanging wire consultation, that thing always feels reliable. Feeling the pulse through a silk scarf, if you are really experienced, you should be able to get it right.
Not long after, Grandma Rong got dressed neatly and changed rooms with the maids. Brother Rong and Aunt Jiayi were with them. When the curtains on the bed were pulled, Que'er and Xiangling were also kicked out by the palace maid Jiayi.
Two more elderly women invited Doctor Zhang from outside to enter the hospital. After the imperial doctor entered the room, Aunt Jiayi also hid behind the screen and did not meet the old imperial doctor.
At this time, Qin Keqing's little hand stretched out from the curtain, and the other woman quickly covered the white and tender little hand with a silk scarf.
The old imperial doctor was quite old, his face was pale, and the hair exposed under his crown was almost gray. When he entered the room, he didn't say much polite words, and he and Brother Rong exchanged greetings.
"Is the one lying down here the grandma in the mansion?" the old imperial doctor asked.
Brother Rong replied: "She is my wife. Sir, please come here."
The old gentleman put his hands on it, adjusted his breath to a certain number, and examined it carefully for half a moment.
After the diagnosis, the old gentleman said, "Let's sit outside."
The old gentleman's face was expressionless, and there was no sign of happiness or sadness. Brother Rong's heart sank. Could it be that he was really sick?
Jia Rong then went to sit on the kang with his husband in the outside room. A woman brought tea, and Jia Rong said, "Sir, please give me tea."
Tea is over.
Brother Rong then asked: "Sir, what's the pulse like?"
"My lady's pulse comes and goes fluently, smoothly and alternately, like pearls rolling on a jade plate." The old gentleman replied politely, and then asked: "Can your menstrual period be adjusted smoothly in recent months?"
"Counting the time, I'm afraid it's been thirty or forty days."
The old gentleman cupped his hands and smiled: "That's right. Congratulations, Lord Rong."
"Really pregnant?"
Jia Rong laughed loudly, nodded when the old imperial doctor saw her, and quickly called her mother-in-law to find Que'er to get the reward.
The old man stopped Brother Rong again and said, "Master, please don't be impatient for now. Let me take a look at the pulse. Grandma is a person with a strong heart and a very smart mind. But being too smart can lead to worries. Now that I have Xi, The mood should be smooth, and the body must be maintained."
Brother Rong said: "That's right. This daughter-in-law of mine talks a lot in her heart but rarely talks in her mouth. She keeps all the good things and bad things in her heart."
Judging from the family background, Qin Keqing can be regarded as a poor girl living in a rich family. Brother Rong also knew that Keqing had always been harboring some inferiority complex, and had to calculate everything clearly, and was afraid of losing the face of Ning Guofu. Now that Princess Zhongshun has recognized her as her bride, the pressure she puts on herself is not less.
The old gentleman said: "This matter can be easily solved. Let grandma take less care of the trivial matters in the house and rest in bed more. It will be better if she doesn't hear the worries."
"Don't you need to write a recipe?"
The old man shook his head and said: "It's a medicine that's three parts poisonous, and it must be the right symptom. In my case, as long as it eases my mood, it's more effective than any medicine."
Jia Rong asked about dietary taboos again and asked the woman next to her to write them down one by one.
Done.
Brother Rong prepared gifts for Imperial Physician Zhang and Aunt Jiayi, and invited the maid and mother-in-law to send them back respectively.
"Master, don't think about causing trouble! Aunt Jiayi has told me that in the next few days, I will sleep in a separate room with you." Qin Keqing was shy and put her hands on her stomach.
Brother Rong said: "We just want to hear the news."
"I'm just pregnant, how can I hear any sound." Qin Keqing snorted, feeling that the uncle was taking advantage. He called Xiang Ling and Que'er to come in and carefully escorted them back to the main room.
Qin Keqing was in a very good mood because she learned that she was pregnant. Although the uncle did not enter the main room, he coaxed him into the next room.
Little Que'er helped Grandma Rong to sleep and let out a long sigh.
"Silly girl, what do you think I'm doing? But let me tell you, you have no chance to enter the room this year. Grandma still needs you to serve her."
Xiang Ling said oh, she didn't understand those things about entering the room or not. Zhanyan smiled and said, "It's good now."
Not good!
She was abducted by a kidnapper when she was young, sold once, and robbed once. Later, I was taken by Mrs. Xue's family. Although my life was better than before, there was no one around me to talk to. I thought I would be in trouble after entering the Ningguo Mansion, but it turned out that Grandma Rong was also kind and generous.
Although this bird is unforgiving, he doesn't have a bad heart towards himself.
The little bird gnashed her teeth, hating that iron could not become steel. Just listening to the sounds outside, I could tell that Uncle Rong had gone to Baozhu's room next to him.
The next day, Xiaoqueer saw the uncle coming out of Ruizhu's room and secretly glared at his back.
Leaving a slight groan.
The news of Qin Keqing's pregnancy immediately spread throughout the two houses. In the early morning, Grandma Rong went to Youshi's courtyard to say hello and took her to talk to her.
"From now on, let Ruizhu and Baozhu take care of the affairs of the inner house. If they can't take care of it, let them find the Lai Sheng family. Don't worry too much about the affairs of the house. Just rest in your room these days and go to the house. There is no need to come here to say hello in the end.”
You took Qin Keqing and said, "We can't break those rules in our house."
Qin Keqing said: "How can it be done?"
Youshi smiled: "Rong'er is the only son and grandson in the house, and the treasure in your belly is precious. Compared with those complicated customs, you and the child in your belly are the most important. You have to be afraid of being bored in the courtyard. , I often go to your place to sit and chat. As long as I don’t disturb you to rest, it’s also good to occasionally invite the girls from Xifu over to chat.”
Qin Keqing just nodded. He added: "Ma'am, please give some thought to the affairs of the inner house in the future. After all, Rui Zhuizhu and the others are just aunts in the house, and they must have a master to greet them after all."
In fact, Qin Keqing also had the same idea. After listening to the uncle's words, he wanted to rest more and not worry too much about the affairs of the house, so he asked Youshi to help take care of it.
This was her and Uncle Rong's child, so she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. She had been married for two years, and now she was finally pregnant, and she was very concerned about what was in her belly.
Jia Rong went to Prince Zhongshun's Mansion with joy to express his gratitude before going to Huangzhuang to take charge of affairs.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Duan Yu cupped his hands and smiled.
"The news spread too fast!" Brother Rong said helplessly.
"How many people can such a happy event be hidden in the divine capital?" Duan Yu said with a smile, "Not to mention those of us who are on duty in the palace, there are also many people outside who know about it. The carriages and horses from your palace came in a hurry last night In the palace, it has attracted the attention of many people. If it were in another palace, Brother Rong would have asked the people from the palace to patrol the camp today."
Brother Rong smiled awkwardly. He was worried about Ke Qing's physical condition last night. He couldn't trust the imperial doctor in Ningrong Backstreet, so he went to the palace to look for him overnight.
He still had a shadow in his heart about Jia Zhen's incident. How could Uncle Rong let those quack doctors go for consultation, and then let the quack doctors fix the problem when there was nothing wrong with him?
"These things won't go to the palace, right?" Brother Rong asked.
Duan Yu replied: "It is excusable if we can't make a fuss and stay up all night due to illness. Besides, most of the people in the patrol camp are members of your family. Even if there are those who stab you up, the families of the Four Kings and Eight Gongs will not be able to do it." Protecting you? Your daughter-in-law is recognized by the empress as her goddaughter, and people outside have to worry about being loyal and submissive to the palace."
Brother Rong nodded. No wonder he didn't say anything when he saw Master Thirteen today. Even the empress sent someone here last night, so there won’t be any trouble later!
Duan Yu added: "It's just that your house has been very busy these days."
Brother Rong said: "How could it be? I just found out that I'm pregnant, what can I do to help?"
"How come you still don't know? There have been a lot of people near Qinghe recently, and they are all staring at the Royal Manor. Although those guys looked at the water canal of the Royal Manor last year, they didn't worry much about it. Now they have seen everyone again. How can you not have a calculation in your mind when you are in Huangzhuang?"
"this……"
Duan Yu warned: "You have to pay close attention to the cement in Ningguo Mansion."
"Brother Yu, please remind me more." Brother Rong chuckled.
Ordinary people may not be able to make the same cement when they get a cement recipe. Moreover, only a few people in the Ningguo Mansion really know all the secret recipes, such as Jia Qiang and Qin Zhong.
Even Jia Yun, who has been buying raw materials, although she has a general idea, does not know the specific proportions, let alone the mystery. Now that Jia Yun, Qin Zhong and others have gone to Ping'an Prefecture, only Jia Qiang and Zong Cheng are left in Shenjing.
Moreover, the cement kiln in Zhuang Shang is now patrolled twelve hours a day, and outsiders cannot enter there.
Duan Yu shook his head and said with a strange smile, "Brother Rong, you have misunderstood me. If the palaces of the palace make cement enter the eyes of various governments, then these imperial estates by the Qinghe River will really make them pay attention to them. This is a happy event, Brother Rong. My son is going to get rich."
"Thank you for your good wishes, Brother Yu."
Jia Rong laughed. But he knew in his heart that even if other governments came to buy cement, he would not have the goods to sell them. The small kiln factory in Zhuangshang can only produce so much in a year. The inventory has been emptied by the Water Conservancy and Field Administration. It will not be enough in the future.
Now the production speed has been slowed down again, and the output is temporarily reserved for the kiln factory for its own use.
…………
"Mistress?"
Lai Sheng said: "I came here in one step, saying that I wanted to congratulate you, and I also sent you a lot of gifts."
Brother Rong scratched his head and asked, "Are you sure it's the mistress, not Prince Beijing?"
Lai Sheng replied: "Even if my eyes are dim, I can still recognize the Prince of Beijing County. It is clearly written on the greeting card above."
Why did His Highness the Crown Prince come here?
Brother Rong wondered about the purpose of the mistress' visit. Could it be that the Raja family would become a princeling?
It's not necessary. The Jia family doesn't even have a third-grade official now. It's almost enough to win over the Wang family and the Feng family. Besides, for the unlucky ones like the Jia family, the former crown prince fell, Prince Yi Zhong fell, and this mistress still dared to ride on Lu, who defeated the master...
Bah, bah, bah, do you still dare to win over the Jia family who always chooses the wrong people?
No matter what his purpose is, let’s take a look at the gift list first.
Damn it, they are all cheap!
For such a dignified prince, his actions were a little too stingy.
The only thing worth a lot of money here is probably the calligraphy and painting.
Disappointed, very disappointed.
Brother Rong entered the study and said with great enthusiasm: "Why did the mistress come out of the palace today and arrive at the Ningguo Mansion without anyone informing him? Come on, hurry up, it's best to change the house for the mistress. The tea is the best kind."
The mistress smiled and said: "I happened to be outside today. I heard the news that Brother Rong was happy during the conversation. I found some supplements and added some meaningful calligraphy and paintings. I was afraid of disturbing Brother Rong's business. So I didn’t go to the Imperial Mansion and came directly to the mansion.”
You are the only one who is happy!
Brother Rong chuckled and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Third, for your kindness."
The mistress sighed helplessly: "It's nothing. A few days ago, I wanted to ask Brother Rong to learn how to cultivate rivers and farm fields. But I was scolded by my father and grounded for more than twenty days, and I just came out today."
This guy has the same temperament as the Supreme Emperor, always playing whatever comes to mind. A good prince shouldn't learn how to govern the country, how to cultivate rivers and cultivate fields. No wonder there are always rumors that Xian De does not like the prince.
Seeing the strange look in Jia Rong's eyes, the mistress smiled and said, "Actually, I have a dream."
Brother Rong's eyes shone brightly and he asked: "Dream that one day, the valleys will rise, the mountains will fall, the bumpy and tortuous roads will become smooth, and the holy light will be revealed and shine on the world?"
"Uh..." The young master was speechless, and after a long time he said: "It turns out that Brother Rong has such great ideals. No wonder the Supreme Emperor said that you are different."
Brother Rong was stunned, it turned out that this was not a dream. Then he asked: "What is the mistress referring to?"
How could the mistress say it? He smiled but didn't answer the question. His dream is just to be like the Supreme Emperor, able to tour the south of the Yangtze River six times and see all the scenery south of the Yangtze River and north of the Yangtze River. Instead, I asked Brother Rong, "After clearing the river to camp, how can we ensure smooth river transportation?"
Brother Rong said: "The Qinghe River is diverted, and the water level will naturally drop. From now on, the river transportation will mainly rely on the docks of Wenyu, Tonghui, and Yongding rivers. This section of the Qinghe River can only be passed with reduced weight."
Lose weight? In other words, as long as it is not a heavy cargo, Qinghe river transportation can still be guaranteed.
The mistress got what she wanted to ask and was satisfied. Smile: "In a few days, the talent show will begin. Does Brother Rong have any relatives to choose from? If she enters the palace, I will find her whereabouts and ask someone to take care of her."
"There are no girls of suitable age in Ning Rong's house." Brother Rong avoided him and rolled his eyes secretly.
The mistress said: "What a pity! The princess of this palace will be selected from this year's show girl."
