However, Geng Yi carefully looked at the position of the chest and abdomen of Prince Jian's son, and the emaciated appearance of the son, it is likely to show the pancreas, so it may be diabetes.
People who suffer from diabetes eat a lot but lose weight day by day. They are still very thirsty and drink a lot of water every day.
Geng Yi whispered his conjecture to Fujin, and Fujin ordered Nanny Liao to have non-sweet snacks from the kitchen for treats.
Fujin took Geng Yi to retreat, but the fourth elder brother didn't care and said: "The son is of the same generation as me, and we are all in the same family. There is no need to be too born. It is the son who has not seen him for a few days but is so thin. You must take care of your body. The emperor Uncle still needs to be taken care of by the prince."
The crown prince sighed and said, "I need the fourth elder brother to remind me, otherwise Ama will be killed by a liar doctor."
He got up and was about to thank the fourth elder brother with a big gift, but the fourth elder brother quickly helped him to sit down and said, "It is said that he is a brother of the same generation, why is the son so polite? The villain is deliberately cheating, and pretending to be in front of the elder brother and others." He only appeared when he was anxious, and he was pure filial piety, hoping that the emperor's uncle would get well before being deceived by him."
The son's face softened a little, and he sighed again: "Although it is so, I did not know people well. Fortunately, the so-called magic medicine has not been used, otherwise Ama would be helpless."
Just listening to Su Peisheng's retelling, thinking that the so-called magic medicine would hasten Prince Jane's death, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
That's why the prince followed Su Peisheng over in a hurry, wanting to hear the fourth elder brother say it again, for fear that he might have heard it wrong.
Seeing his unbelievable look, the fourth elder brother repeated it carefully: "Fortunately, Geng Gege in my backyard knows a little bit of medicine, and happened to know such a blind medicine."
He leaned over and whispered to the prince: "The man also sent in a prescription. Thanks to her finding something wrong, she followed the clues to find Prince Jane."
The prince quickly asked: "I don't know who Ge Ge is, I have to thank him personally."
The fourth elder brother smiled: "Isn't it far away in the sky and close in front of us?"
The prince looked to the side, one was Fujin he had seen before, and the strange young woman next to Fujin must be Geng Gege.
He hurriedly gave a big gift, and Geng Yi was so frightened that he quickly avoided it: "It's just a coincidence that the son is very polite."
"If it wasn't for Geng Gege, I'm afraid that I, Ama, would have to suffer another serious crime when I was ill. It is my benefactor."
Otherwise, if the son made such a mistake, not to mention hurting his relative Ama, he would be accused by thousands of people, and he would feel unbearable guilt. I am afraid that the position of the son would not be preserved.
"Don't dare to be, dare not be," Geng Yi was so frightened that he took two steps back, seeing that Prince Jian's son was miserable enough, and he had to take care of his own father when he was sick, and now he was almost harming someone because he was looking for medicine everywhere to save him. His eyes were red, and he felt like he was about to cry the next moment.
The man does not flick his tears easily, it must not be the time yet, he is really afraid.
The fourth elder brother personally helped the son up and sat down again. Seeing his pale face, he couldn't help worrying: "The bones of the son's body must be seen by others. Why is his face so ugly? Did the imperial doctor ask for a peace pulse?"
The crown prince shook his head and said, "I just can't sleep well, but I have a good appetite. I eat more than before, but I've lost weight. Maybe it's because of Ama's illness that I'm too worried."
The fourth elder brother was about to speak, when he saw Geng Yi winking with him desperately blinking, he couldn't help but startled.
The kitchen over there had brought some snacks, Shizi seemed to be hungry too, so he picked up a piece and took a bite, frowning slightly.
The fourth elder brother thought that the dim sum delivered was not good, so he tasted it himself. The salty dim sum was as delicious as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it: "Does the prince not like this dim sum? Do you want the kitchen to change it?"
Where would the prince make a request when he went to someone else's house, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I thought it was sweet, but after eating it, I realized it was a salty snack."
Seeing that he was indeed hungry, he ate a piece of snack after two or three bites, and brought another piece.
The prince quickly finished a plate of dim sum and was still a little bit unsatisfied. He said embarrassedly: "I'm really hungry, so I ate in a hurry. I almost forgot that I came to tell the fourth elder brother that Jing Zhaoyin had already brought the guards to catch that villainous."
Su Peisheng went to Jing Zhaoyin first, and then to Prince Jian's mansion. After a while, the prince should have been caught.
Sure enough, Jing Zhaoyin sent a messenger to deliver a message, saying that the gangster had been caught and interrogated in the prison, and if he got a confession, he would be sent over.
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "Jing Zhaoyin didn't even get involved with Huang Ama in handling the case. He is the most fair and strict. He can be tried as he pleases and punished as he pleases. He must not be tolerated, but he must not wrong anyone. people."
The guard turned his head and told the words to Jing Zhaoyin. The latter stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "It is said that the fourth elder brother is a strict person, and it is true."
Since the fourth elder brother made it clear that he would not intervene, then he can follow the rules.
It didn't take long for the people in the prison to talk about everything. The eldest apprentice was also surnamed Li, and he was a relative of Dr. Li who gave birth to Wufu, and the blood relationship was far away.
Originally, the father of the family was a hunter, and he was able to live a good life, but he fell to his death. When the mother went to find him, she was caught in the rain all night, and she came back with a high fever and passed away within a few days, leaving only a child of a few years old.
The relatives felt that he killed his parents, and no one dared to take over. It was Dr. Li who saw the child as pitiful, and simply took him by his side. Then he found out that he had a talent for learning medicine, so he took back his apprentice with joy, thinking that he could inherit medical skills in the future, and save lives and heal the wounded. .
Who knew that when the eldest apprentice grew up, he viciously pushed Dr. Li's only son off the cliff, and tried to use stone sunflowers to trick Prince Jane's mansion into making a fortune. They are all willing to recruit.
He directly recruited the internal response of Prince Jane's mansion, not someone else, but the second son of the housekeeper.
The second son learned that he could not inherit the butler's position, but his elder brother's, so he spent his life drunk and squandered everywhere.
The housekeeper's wife has always doted on the second son, and also understands that the eldest son inherits is a common practice. She is more pampering and indulgent towards the second son. She doesn't dare to take care of her when she asks for money. It's the same as before.
Unexpectedly, after the second son was drunk, he met a beautiful woman in a restaurant and wanted to snatch her away, but was stopped by her husband. In a fit of anger, he smashed her head with a wine jar, and the husband died on the spot, so he woke up from fright.
Seeing that her husband had been beaten to death, the woman was about to run to report to the officials, crying and crying. The attendant next to her second son saw that something was wrong, so she caught him and asked her young master what to do.
What else can he do with it, people absolutely cannot let him go, otherwise this woman will go to report to the police, and he will be completely finished!
Fortunately, this woman looked strong, but she was still weak, and after a few words of coaxing, she was willing to ask for some money for her husband to be buried with honor.
Who knew that after the woman buried her husband, she turned over and asked her second son for money three times and four times.
The money in the second son's hand was given by Er Niang, and it was almost squandered. Before that, he gave the woman a large sum of money all at once, and then it was gone.
After being urged to death by the third woman, the second son had no choice but to hit it off with an outsider. He planned to extort a large sum of money with stone sunflowers, share a share with his apprentice surnamed Li, and then take the woman directly to the south to hide for a while. After two years, the limelight was over, and this woman was coaxed into bed by him, so naturally she wouldn't come to ask for money every time, and she didn't have to worry about her publicizing the matter.
The second son's plan was excellent, but it was a pity that he was terribly hurt by this disciple of the Li family who was bolder than the eye of a needle.
When the officers and soldiers came to the door, Prince Jian's son's face was as cold as ice slag, and his housekeeper, Ama, was in tears, and kept kowtowing to the son: "It's the slave who is not strict in discipline, and I am ashamed to let the evil son make such a big mistake. My lord."
The eldest son asked to help the butler who was born and died with Prince Jane, and sighed in his heart that the butler was good at everything, but let his wife spoil his second son too much, which made a big mistake, and only let the officers and soldiers take away the second son.
The housekeeper's wife was crying, but in the end the housekeeper covered her mouth and scolded: "Why are you crying? Do you want to go to the prison with this scoundrel, and serve him with great torture?"
One sentence made the lady dare not howl, she just cried bitterly, and the eldest son's face was livid beside him.
In the end, the son was the master, he only sent the housekeeper and his family to Zhuangzi, never to return, but he didn't take their lives.
The butler was grateful to Dade, and handed over all the affairs and accounts of these years to the heir's confidantes, and there were a few old people who served Prince Jane's daily habits, so he didn't have to worry too much.
He took his wife and children to salute and thank the eldest son repeatedly, and after saluting in front of Prince Jane's door, he tremblingly got into the carriage and left.
The butler, who had always been strong and strong, suddenly aged a lot, showing his old appearance.
The eldest son sighed, and sent someone to arrest the second son's attendant and the woman.
The attendant was knocked unconscious in the room, but the woman was nowhere to be found.
The prince frowned and said: "Look, I must find this woman! Also, the husband who killed this woman also sent someone to dig up the grave."
Jing Zhaoyin was startled by this incident, the master felt that the dead were the biggest, and such an act was really lacking, so he asked cautiously: "My lord, do you really want to open the coffin according to your son's wishes?"
Jing Zhaoyin hesitated for a moment but nodded and said: "This matter is a bit strange. The man said that he beat someone to death when he was drunk, but at that time he was staggering even when he was walking, and he only had so much strength in his hand. Kill someone?"
He had doubts in his heart, and guessed that the son was the same, so he asked the guards to dig up the tomb and set up the coffin. There was indeed something in it, which was heavy, but when it was opened, it was not a person, but a stone.
"The large and small stones are distributed from top to bottom, which happens to be about the weight of a person. It must have been done on purpose, and the few people who carried the coffin didn't notice it."
These coffin bearers cooperated very skillfully, and the coffin was very stable, so the stone would not slip to the side, so they didn't realize that it was not a person but a stone inside.
The coffin is empty, either the person who was killed was not dead at all, or the woman was not buried for the so-called husband at all, the former is more likely.
Even the fourth elder brother didn't expect that just a prescription sent by Niu Gulu Gege could actually involve so many things behind.
Geng Yi didn't expect that, just by listening to Si elder brother's brief description to her, she would feel that it was a big case interlocking with each other!
"Has that person recruited? Where did the prescription for Niu Colu's sister come from? Could it be that he wrote it himself?"
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "That's true. Before I sold the medical clinic and let him have all the pictures, so the evil came out of the guts, and I asked people to pretend to be Niu Gulu Gege's family members to send the prescriptions."
Geng Yi was startled, and said in amazement: "What, he pretended to be Niu Gulu's younger sister's family, isn't it because Niu Yulu's family didn't know about it and was wronged?"
Not to mention Niu Gulu's family, even Niu Gulu Gege is more wronged than Dou E!
The fourth elder brother replied: "Yes, I sent someone to check around Niu Colu's house, and there was no such stranger. I asked privately, and Niu Colu's family never sent anything to Niu Colu Gege."
This is all a secret investigation, and they are all his people. Naturally, it is impossible to lie. Niu Gulu's family is indeed innocent.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Geng Yi asked, "Then sister Niu Gulu can come out, so she doesn't need to continue to be grounded?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at her and said: "I just said that she should be grounded for a month, but then I changed my mind. If it spreads out, it will be a joke."
Geng Yi answered immediately: "After all, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and my master has always been kind, so he must not have the heart to let Niu Yulu's sister stay alone in the yard to celebrate the New Year alone, right?"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "You are used to talking."
This is the meaning of promise, Geng Yi took his arm and laughed: "The concubine is telling the truth."
He lowered his head and asked, "Then tell me, why did you wink at me when the son was around?"
Geng Yi quickly conjectured that the son might be suffering from diabetes: "After all, the son lost weight so fast that he couldn't even keep up with his clothes, but he ate a lot and was extremely thirsty."
The fourth elder brother was thoughtful, and it was true that after Prince Jane's son came over, he ate a plate of dim sum by himself, and drank two pots of tea.
Su Peisheng also added that when he came to the door, Prince Jane's son was eating in a hurry. He thought it was because he took care of Prince Jane that he delayed his breakfast, but he said he was hungry when he came.
The front feet are still eating, the back feet are hungry again, and the person is still skinny, which is indeed a bit scary.
Geng Yi said: "The concubine's winking is because if the son really suffers from diabetes and cannot eat sweets, please ask Fujin to order the kitchen to replace the snacks with salty ones."
The fourth elder brother finally found out why the dim sum suddenly changed from sweet to salty. It turned out to be the reason.
He saw Shizi had a strange expression just after taking a bite, and he wanted to change back to the sweet ones. At that time, Geng Yi winked desperately, probably to tell the fourth elder brother not to come over for the sweet snacks.
In case the son really eats it, it will be troublesome if he feels uncomfortable.
The fourth elder brother asked people to inquire, and learned that there was a Zeng imperial doctor in the imperial hospital who was best at treating diabetes, so he asked Su Peisheng to enter the palace and personally invite the man to Prince Jane's mansion to feel the pulse of the prince.
Before, the son only thought that he was getting thinner because he was too worried and tired, but the fourth elder brother personally invited the imperial doctor to come over, and he was sympathetic, so he obediently sat down and let the imperial doctor take his pulse.
This request really made Geng Yi's point of view, the son was indeed suffering from diabetes.
Imperial Physician Zeng frowned and said, "The tongue coating is red and the pulse condition is weak and feeble. It is undoubtedly diabetes. Do you usually feel very thirsty, drink a lot of water, but also run to the latrine frequently?"
The prince nodded again and again: "I still feel weak in my limbs, eating and drinking too much will cause me to lose energy, and I will lose weight very much."
Imperial Physician Zeng confirmed: "It is indeed diabetes. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it is not too late."
Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be difficult to cure.
The prince thanked the fourth elder brother again and again: "The fourth elder brother found out more, otherwise if I am sick, I will not be able to take good care of Ama."
Imperial Physician Zeng asked curiously: "I don't know that the fourth elder brother is also quite knowledgeable about medical skills, is he self-taught?"
The fourth elder brother waved his hand and said: "No, it's Geng Gege who is next to me who knows a little medicine. Before I asked the prince to meet at the mansion, she saw it by accident, and realized that there was something wrong with the prince's body, so she reminded me to ask the imperial doctor. thirst."
Doctor Zeng was even more surprised, Ge Ge could see the illness of Prince Jane's son without needing to feel his pulse just by looking at it with his eyes.
It's a pity that she is a daughter, and she is Gege who is beside the fourth elder brother, otherwise she would be directly invited to the Tai Hospital to study!
In a few years, it is estimated that he will be a good imperial doctor with excellent medical skills!
The prince's matter also alarmed the emperor, and he called the fourth elder brother to the imperial study room for questioning: "I heard that Geng Gege next to you saw the thirst syndrome on Prince Jane's son? How do I remember Geng Gege?" My family is a small official, did my ancestors ever have an imperial doctor?"
Without his order, Li Desheng had already quietly bowed down to investigate, and came back not long after and said: "Back to the emperor, the ancestors of the Geng family did have imperial doctors, and there is a master doctor in the ancestors."
It is precisely because the ancestors gained a good reputation in folk medicine that future generations can use it to enter the Imperial Hospital.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that he has received the true inheritance from his ancestors. If he is a man, he must be able to enter the imperial hospital to learn from the head of the hospital."
It is about the true biography of the ancestors. After all, although this person entered the Imperial Hospital later, he obviously did not make a name for himself, or he may have fallen down. That's why the younger generation did not become a big family, but ordinary officials.
If Geng Gege hadn't been drafted in, no one would have known about the past of the Geng family.
"At the beginning, I saw Geng Gege as well-behaved and sensible, but now he seems to be a smart one. It's great to be able to help."
If it hadn't been for Geng Yi to see that the illness of Prince Jian's son dragged on, it would be very difficult to cure.
When Imperial Physician Zeng came to report, he said: "The more you eat and drink for diabetes, the more uncomfortable and thin you will be. If you continue to lose weight, the viscera will not be able to bear it, as if it is collapsing, and you will be unable to hold it in a blink of an eye."
Now looking at Prince Jian's son's mental state is not bad, at least he can walk freely and he is sober, but after a long time, it's hard to say, it's really dangerous!
Today's Prince Jian used to be brave and good at fighting, but later he kept his own law and order, and was highly valued by the emperor. Now that he is ill, the imperial doctor and medicinal materials are continuously sent to Prince Jane's mansion like running water, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to him.
If something happened to the prince, the emperor would be ashamed of Prince Jane.
Especially the elder son is the eldest son, if something happens to the eldest son, the second son will be younger.
In fact, the two sons in the middle died of illness before they grew up, so the age difference is a bit big.
At any rate, the heir is the heir cultivated by Prince Jane himself. It is more than enough to be the heir. If he is gone, the second son is still a young son and has to be raised again. When Prince Jane is not around, only the female family members in the backyard will be raised in the hands of the woman. Or it might be dominated by the brothers of her natal family, otherwise, Prince Jane's lineage might be a bit difficult.
And when the child is young, there will be more accidents. Who knows if they can live to adulthood?
Prince Jane only has two sons, one big and one small, so they must not go on business trips!
The emperor praised: "Geng Gege has made great achievements, let her participate in this year's palace banquet."
It was always a great honor for elder brother to bring Fujin to the New Year's palace banquet. This year was the first year that he made an exception and was allowed to attend.
In addition to this, the emperor also rewarded a box of gems, half a carload of cloth, and even a western clock!
Geng Yi was stunned, the emperor must have acted too generously!
Few families have this western clock alone, and even here, apart from his study, the only one in Fujin's courtyard is the fourth elder brother.
Now apart from the two of them, Geng Yi can also own one by himself.
She almost had tears in her eyes, it was too embarrassing for herself to judge the time by looking at the sky outside the window every day.
Seeing Geng Yi's ecstatic expression, the fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing: "Are you so happy?"
Geng Yi nodded again and again. Now that she finally has a clock to tell the time, she no longer has to work hard to guess the time. Could she not be happy!
Half a carload of cloth was too much, and she couldn't fit it in her warehouse, so she had to temporarily put it in another vacant room in the yard.
Geng Yi looked at the half-filled room, thinking that he would just fill up the rest of the space in the future!
Since you are happy, you should have a big meal!
She turned her head and asked, "Master, do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"
This has to do with whether Geng Yi can order Chef Liu's dishes or Chef Ma's dishes!
The fourth elder brother smiled: "Since you want to, then I'll come over to have dinner together tonight."
Geng Yi nodded, and immediately thought about the menu.
Gotta eat something good tonight. It's getting colder, so it's time for something warm.
She called Xiao Zhuzi over, and learned that the kitchen had brought a basket of fresh river fish. There were not many fish in winter, so it was really rare to have so many.
It is not easy to store fish in cold weather, and the kitchen is worried about what to do with it.
If it needs to be stored for two days, the fish may freeze to death and cannot be kept alive, so it is a waste.
But the fourth elder brother and Fujin don't like fish very much. Song Gege has mostly been a vegetarian for the past two years, and Li Gege and Niu Gulu Gege don't like it either.
Geng Yi had an idea, can't this be a pickled fish?
She asked Xiao Zhuzi, and learned that there was a jar of sauerkraut in the kitchen, and she would make side dishes on weekdays, so it was just right.
"Go and tell your two companions that you want a pot of fish with pickled cabbage tonight. After the fish is washed, remove the bones, slice the fish into thin pieces, put them in the pickled cabbage, and put a little dogwood in it."
Geng Yi briefly described it, and Xiao Zhuzi nodded again and again to mark it down: "Geng Gege, besides this sauerkraut fish, do you want other dishes?"
If there are a lot of fish, there is actually no need for other dishes, but she still said: "By the way, remember to heat the pickled fish in the pot, and add some vegetarian dishes, and wash everything and send it together."
When the fish fillets in the sauerkraut fish are finished, you can also put vegetables in it and cook to eat. It has the aroma of sauerkraut fish and can relieve greasy.
"There is also rice, which is most suitable for pickled fish."
Seeing that Geng Yi had no other orders, Xiao Zhuzi ran to the kitchen to report the food.
After hearing this, Chef Liu said with a smile: "There are a lot of fish, it seems that we have to ask all the apprentices to help."
Deboning and slicing fish requires excellent knife skills, otherwise the slices are too thin and will easily rot when cooked, and if they are too thick, they will not taste good.
Chef Ma nodded slightly and said, "Then let them try first."
The two each had an apprentice and asked them to start deboning and filleting the fish first.
Even if the two cooks didn't say anything, they could tell that this was a silent competition, let's see whose apprentice was stronger!
Even if the two apprentices had seen the scene, they couldn't help but tighten their hands holding the knife slightly.
God knows how the two masters are staring at them. If one loses, will they stand against the corner of the wall with a bowl of water all night?
It's freezing cold, no one wants to be punished, and it's about master's face, so of course they have to work hard!
So the two sides became more serious, grasping the fish with the left hand, and knocking the fish unconscious with the back of the knife with the right hand, and then began to slice the whole fish back with the knife horizontally, and sliced into small pieces after both sides were sliced.
The thin piece can transmit light, but it can't be broken when clamped, which is fast and good.
In a blink of an eye, the two finished a fish, and went to catch another fish in the bucket with their left hands to continue working.
Cook Liu and Cook Ma went to check on each other's apprentices respectively. Cook Liu was quite satisfied with Cook Ma's apprentice. Almost every piece of this fish fillet was the same size and the same thickness, so they must have worked hard on weekdays.
Although Chef Ma didn't say anything, Chef Liu still knew that his apprentice was slightly inferior, even if the thickness was about the same, the same fish fillet was pleasing to the eye.
Chef Liu waved his hand to signal his apprentice not to work too hard, he lost this time.
The apprentice was quite disappointed, so he put down the knife in his hand and let another apprentice of Chef Ma continue to take over.
But Chef Ma said: "Speaking of sauerkraut, it's still yours to cook."
Chef Liu smiled, knowing that Chef Ma was stepping down for himself, so he nodded and said, "That's right, the vat of sauerkraut I made before is also delicious, let's open the vat and have a look."
He called his disciples to take out the sauerkraut from the big tank and cut it into pieces.
The fish over there was almost cut, so Chef Liu started to cook the sauerkraut first.
According to Geng Yi's order, cornel was also put in, and it smelled sour and hot, and the saliva began to churn.
In the end, the fish fillets were not cooked, because if left early, it would be overcooked, and if left too late, it would be too raw. Cook Ma planned to put it in front of the master himself later.
The fish is not all cut, only half of it is processed, and the other half can be cut when the masters feel that it is not enough, and it will be fresher.
The vegetables were washed and brought up in different categories, filling a large table.
The fourth elder brother saw so many dishes, and there was a stove in the middle, so he couldn't help asking: "Are you eating pot tonight?"
Geng Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, I will find out later on."
She was still playing tricks, so the fourth elder brother sat down with a smile, and the fish over there had already been delivered. Chef Ma put it into the pot himself, cooked it with the sauerkraut for a while, looked at the color of the fish and nodded quickly: "Si elder brother, Geng Gege, the fish is ready."
Geng Yi quickly picked up two chopsticks for the fourth elder brother, and then picked up a piece of fish for himself, blew on the hot air, put it in his mouth, and quickly narrowed his eyes.
The sauerkraut is very authentic, and the taste of cornel is a bit strong. It would be better if you use chili directly, and it would be even better if there is pickled pepper.
The fourth elder brother took a bite. The fish was sour and spicy. It tasted fresh and tender without any fishbone.
After eating two bites of fish with rice, it didn't take long for me to feel my whole body warm up.
He couldn't help feeling that Geng Yi was really delicious, and he knew how to eat it.
"This fish pot is not bad. I will send a copy of this recipe to Huang Ama and His Royal Highness later." It's simple, and it's a pot suitable for eating in winter. Naturally, the two of them can't miss it.
Chef Ma responded immediately, the eunuch was illiterate, and he would ask Linglong, who was around Fujin who could read, to help write the recipes.
Geng Yi thought that there was too much fish, and it was almost done after finishing the pot, but before she had picked up a few chopsticks, the fish was gone, so Chef Ma hurriedly asked his apprentice to cut fresh fish and bring it to him.
After sending them back and forth twice, the fourth elder brother was full, and Geng Yi was full because of rushing to eat, so Rusui helped him get up and walk around the room while covering his stomach.
The fourth elder brother laughed and said, "If you are greedy, you must be full."
But as soon as he stood up, he found that he was also full without knowing it, violating the usual rule of only eating [-]% full, and could only follow Geng Yi back and forth in the room.
He wondered: "There are only one or two bites of fish meat, and there are only two pieces of fish cut out of one fish. It doesn't look like much after eating so much. How can I be full?"
Geng Yi was amused, because apart from eating fish, the fourth elder brother also ate it with rice, and the rice was quite filling.
The two of them walked for half an hour before they felt comfortable. They drank the hawthorn tea they brought to help them digest their food.
The fourth elder brother talked about the emperor's making an exception and letting Geng Yi attend the palace banquet: "I have already told Fujin, and I will let the embroiderer come over tomorrow to tailor your clothes for you, and the jewelry must also be matched. Another name is Liao. Mammy will tell you about the rules in the palace so as not to offend others."
Seeing Geng Yi's nervous and apprehensive look, he comforted him again: "Small collisions are nothing, as long as you don't make big mistakes, most people don't care about it. If the other party really cares about it, what are you afraid of if you have Master here?"
Anyway, the fourth elder brother looked like he was taking care of all the big and small things for you, Geng Yi smiled and nodded to thank: "With the master here, the concubine is naturally not afraid."
She was a little nervous, after all, she was about to meet the emperor of the ages!
I don't know if it's very serious or amiable?
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Geng Yi, and couldn't help laughing when he found that she was still tense: "Don't think about it, just follow Fujin when the time comes."
They must go to greet Concubine De, but according to Concubine De's usual style, they should not pay much attention to Geng Yi and only talk to Fujin.
That's good too, Geng Yi says less and makes less mistakes, anyway, the time to meet Concubine De will not be too long, and he will come out soon.
The next day Fujin asked Nanny Liao to bring Xiuniang to Geng Yi's place to start making new clothes, and told her the rules of entering the palace.
In fact, there is only one rule in general, and everyone who sees them salutes.
Geng Yi's identity should not see the married woman, so the only one who can see her is the master in the palace. She has the lowest status, so she has to salute everyone she sees.
She thought about kneeling when she saw people, wouldn't her knees be broken?
Shouldn't it be easier to kneel, lest the knees be really useless?
Fortunately, Nanny Liao said to Geng Yi: "Except for going outside, when the ceremony is inside, the court ladies will prepare cushions."
The implication is that most people would not make it difficult to bow to a nobleman. In winter, people would kneel on the cold ground, but they would be given a cushion, which would neither hurt nor be cold, but it was quite good.
Geng Yi nodded, it seemed that kneeling was easy and there was no need to do it.
Nanny Liao briefly told Geng Yi that there is currently no queen in the palace, only a few concubines who are in charge of the affairs of the harem.
The life wife will greet several concubines together, and if there are too many people, Geng Yi can make up for it!
Geng Yi was led to salute, and he thought that Nanny Liao would be extremely strict, and still held a small wooden stick in his hand, knocking on whatever was wrong.
Who knew that Nanny Liao only simply corrected a few wrong places, the wooden stick was used not to touch Geng Yi's body, but to support it slightly.
After going back and forth a few times, Nanny Liao nodded and said: "Geng Gege learned the original rules well, and there is no mistake in saluting."
It can be seen that Geng Yi's body has never neglected his studies before, and his every move is standard enough.
Geng Yi was finally relieved, it would be really torture for her to learn it all over again.
Fortunately, this body was strong enough, and her body memory was good, so she escaped unharmed.
Xiu Niang began to choose fabrics after measuring Geng Yi. Of course, it is not auspicious to choose too plain colors for the Chinese New Year.
But too bright and gorgeous colors are not acceptable, if you want to clash with a noble lady, it would be impolite.
She could only choose from the middle, not too showy but not too clean, the embroiderer picked out three pieces of fabric, and Nanny Liao asked Geng Yi which one she liked better.
Geng Yi chose a blue fabric with fewer patterns, feeling that the color looks fresher!
The embroiderer turned her head and took out another thick book of patterns for her to continue picking.
There are all kinds of dense patterns, and it seems that Geng Yi's choice disorder is about to suffer.
Although these patterns looked different, the difference was not that big. She looked dizzy and could only turn to Mother Liao for help: "Look at these patterns, Mother Liao, which one is better?"
Nanny Liao was most familiar with these tricks, knowing which ones Geng Yi could use and suitable for her, she ordered a few.
Geng Yi nodded indiscriminately and said, "Then listen to Nanny Liao, just these few."
Nanny Liao couldn't help but look at her twice more, Geng Gege trusted herself too much, so she nodded without looking carefully?
But think about it, Fujin has no reason to harm Geng Gege, and he respects the rules, how could Nanny Liao make it difficult for Geng Yi!
So clothes and shoes are finally settled, and jewelry is next.
The golden hairpins and golden steps are too conspicuous, and wearing two more, Geng Yi looks at himself in the mirror like a Christmas tree, and his head can glow in the dark.
The simple silver hairpin is not too eye-catching, but it is too inconspicuous, and it is a bit shabby on such an important occasion.
In the end, it was Fujin who asked people to go to the jewelry store to buy a new pair of pearl jewelry. The hairpin was made of pearls to form a flower, and there was a butterfly beside it. It was so beautiful that even Geng Yi couldn't put it down.
In addition, there are pearl necklaces and pearl earrings, which use the pearls that were rewarded before, which are really unobtrusive and generous!
Geng Yi gestured and felt that he was beautiful!
Niu Gulu Gege was released, and he came to Geng Yi's side immediately to thank: "It's thanks to my sister's good words in front of the master, otherwise my sister would not be released early."
Geng Yi shook his head and said: "It's not my credit, but the master found out that my sister and Niu Yulu's family are innocent, so I hurriedly released my sister to celebrate the New Year together."
The fourth elder brother is a principled person, since he made a mistake, of course he would not make a mistake for the sake of face, and ground Niu Gu Lu Ge Ge all the time.
Niu Gulu Gege didn't think so. Even if he made a mistake, it would be bad for the fourth elder brother to go back and forth like this. It's better to let Niu Gulu Gege continue to be grounded for a while before releasing him.
It's only been a month, and others will definitely not make fourth elder brother unhappy because of this matter, so why would they take the initiative to intercede?
That's why Geng Yi would take it for granted, and then really persuade the fourth elder brother to let her come out.
Niu Gulu Gege thought that people's hearts are not made of stone, if Geng Yi treats her so sincerely, he should treat Geng Yi twice as well in the future!
She planned to ask Fujin later, and contact her family members, and let her family members be more vigilant, don't let anyone take advantage of her loopholes!
In addition, I also reported to my natal family that I was safe. I suddenly heard that Niu Gulu Gege was grounded by the fourth elder brother a few years ago. She almost scared her mother to death, and she became sick from fright.
Niu Gulu Gege asked Fujin for a sign, and wanted to meet her natal family, but it wasn't her mother-in-law who came, but her sister-in-law and younger sister.
The sister-in-law had a big belly, so frightened that Niu Gulu Gege hurriedly asked the maid beside her, Yunlin, to help him: "Sister-in-law, slow down, you are getting heavier now, why did you let the sister-in-law come here?"
Looking at her sister-in-law's big belly for at least six or seven months, the swollen belly is bigger than the average person's. It's hard enough to bump all the way, and she turned pale without seeing it.
The younger sister explained in a low voice beside her: "Emiang was very worried when she heard about my sister's grounding. She would be caught in the cold and could not see the wind, so she had to let my sister-in-law and I come over."
After all, my sister is still young, so she may not be able to tell clearly, and Er Niang is worried, so let her sister-in-law follow her.
People who suffer from diabetes eat a lot but lose weight day by day. They are still very thirsty and drink a lot of water every day.
Geng Yi whispered his conjecture to Fujin, and Fujin ordered Nanny Liao to have non-sweet snacks from the kitchen for treats.
Fujin took Geng Yi to retreat, but the fourth elder brother didn't care and said: "The son is of the same generation as me, and we are all in the same family. There is no need to be too born. It is the son who has not seen him for a few days but is so thin. You must take care of your body. The emperor Uncle still needs to be taken care of by the prince."
The crown prince sighed and said, "I need the fourth elder brother to remind me, otherwise Ama will be killed by a liar doctor."
He got up and was about to thank the fourth elder brother with a big gift, but the fourth elder brother quickly helped him to sit down and said, "It is said that he is a brother of the same generation, why is the son so polite? The villain is deliberately cheating, and pretending to be in front of the elder brother and others." He only appeared when he was anxious, and he was pure filial piety, hoping that the emperor's uncle would get well before being deceived by him."
The son's face softened a little, and he sighed again: "Although it is so, I did not know people well. Fortunately, the so-called magic medicine has not been used, otherwise Ama would be helpless."
Just listening to Su Peisheng's retelling, thinking that the so-called magic medicine would hasten Prince Jane's death, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted.
That's why the prince followed Su Peisheng over in a hurry, wanting to hear the fourth elder brother say it again, for fear that he might have heard it wrong.
Seeing his unbelievable look, the fourth elder brother repeated it carefully: "Fortunately, Geng Gege in my backyard knows a little bit of medicine, and happened to know such a blind medicine."
He leaned over and whispered to the prince: "The man also sent in a prescription. Thanks to her finding something wrong, she followed the clues to find Prince Jane."
The prince quickly asked: "I don't know who Ge Ge is, I have to thank him personally."
The fourth elder brother smiled: "Isn't it far away in the sky and close in front of us?"
The prince looked to the side, one was Fujin he had seen before, and the strange young woman next to Fujin must be Geng Gege.
He hurriedly gave a big gift, and Geng Yi was so frightened that he quickly avoided it: "It's just a coincidence that the son is very polite."
"If it wasn't for Geng Gege, I'm afraid that I, Ama, would have to suffer another serious crime when I was ill. It is my benefactor."
Otherwise, if the son made such a mistake, not to mention hurting his relative Ama, he would be accused by thousands of people, and he would feel unbearable guilt. I am afraid that the position of the son would not be preserved.
"Don't dare to be, dare not be," Geng Yi was so frightened that he took two steps back, seeing that Prince Jian's son was miserable enough, and he had to take care of his own father when he was sick, and now he was almost harming someone because he was looking for medicine everywhere to save him. His eyes were red, and he felt like he was about to cry the next moment.
The man does not flick his tears easily, it must not be the time yet, he is really afraid.
The fourth elder brother personally helped the son up and sat down again. Seeing his pale face, he couldn't help worrying: "The bones of the son's body must be seen by others. Why is his face so ugly? Did the imperial doctor ask for a peace pulse?"
The crown prince shook his head and said, "I just can't sleep well, but I have a good appetite. I eat more than before, but I've lost weight. Maybe it's because of Ama's illness that I'm too worried."
The fourth elder brother was about to speak, when he saw Geng Yi winking with him desperately blinking, he couldn't help but startled.
The kitchen over there had brought some snacks, Shizi seemed to be hungry too, so he picked up a piece and took a bite, frowning slightly.
The fourth elder brother thought that the dim sum delivered was not good, so he tasted it himself. The salty dim sum was as delicious as usual, and there was nothing wrong with it: "Does the prince not like this dim sum? Do you want the kitchen to change it?"
Where would the prince make a request when he went to someone else's house, he quickly waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I thought it was sweet, but after eating it, I realized it was a salty snack."
Seeing that he was indeed hungry, he ate a piece of snack after two or three bites, and brought another piece.
The prince quickly finished a plate of dim sum and was still a little bit unsatisfied. He said embarrassedly: "I'm really hungry, so I ate in a hurry. I almost forgot that I came to tell the fourth elder brother that Jing Zhaoyin had already brought the guards to catch that villainous."
Su Peisheng went to Jing Zhaoyin first, and then to Prince Jian's mansion. After a while, the prince should have been caught.
Sure enough, Jing Zhaoyin sent a messenger to deliver a message, saying that the gangster had been caught and interrogated in the prison, and if he got a confession, he would be sent over.
The fourth elder brother shook his head and said: "Jing Zhaoyin didn't even get involved with Huang Ama in handling the case. He is the most fair and strict. He can be tried as he pleases and punished as he pleases. He must not be tolerated, but he must not wrong anyone. people."
The guard turned his head and told the words to Jing Zhaoyin. The latter stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "It is said that the fourth elder brother is a strict person, and it is true."
Since the fourth elder brother made it clear that he would not intervene, then he can follow the rules.
It didn't take long for the people in the prison to talk about everything. The eldest apprentice was also surnamed Li, and he was a relative of Dr. Li who gave birth to Wufu, and the blood relationship was far away.
Originally, the father of the family was a hunter, and he was able to live a good life, but he fell to his death. When the mother went to find him, she was caught in the rain all night, and she came back with a high fever and passed away within a few days, leaving only a child of a few years old.
The relatives felt that he killed his parents, and no one dared to take over. It was Dr. Li who saw the child as pitiful, and simply took him by his side. Then he found out that he had a talent for learning medicine, so he took back his apprentice with joy, thinking that he could inherit medical skills in the future, and save lives and heal the wounded. .
Who knew that when the eldest apprentice grew up, he viciously pushed Dr. Li's only son off the cliff, and tried to use stone sunflowers to trick Prince Jane's mansion into making a fortune. They are all willing to recruit.
He directly recruited the internal response of Prince Jane's mansion, not someone else, but the second son of the housekeeper.
The second son learned that he could not inherit the butler's position, but his elder brother's, so he spent his life drunk and squandered everywhere.
The housekeeper's wife has always doted on the second son, and also understands that the eldest son inherits is a common practice. She is more pampering and indulgent towards the second son. She doesn't dare to take care of her when she asks for money. It's the same as before.
Unexpectedly, after the second son was drunk, he met a beautiful woman in a restaurant and wanted to snatch her away, but was stopped by her husband. In a fit of anger, he smashed her head with a wine jar, and the husband died on the spot, so he woke up from fright.
Seeing that her husband had been beaten to death, the woman was about to run to report to the officials, crying and crying. The attendant next to her second son saw that something was wrong, so she caught him and asked her young master what to do.
What else can he do with it, people absolutely cannot let him go, otherwise this woman will go to report to the police, and he will be completely finished!
Fortunately, this woman looked strong, but she was still weak, and after a few words of coaxing, she was willing to ask for some money for her husband to be buried with honor.
Who knew that after the woman buried her husband, she turned over and asked her second son for money three times and four times.
The money in the second son's hand was given by Er Niang, and it was almost squandered. Before that, he gave the woman a large sum of money all at once, and then it was gone.
After being urged to death by the third woman, the second son had no choice but to hit it off with an outsider. He planned to extort a large sum of money with stone sunflowers, share a share with his apprentice surnamed Li, and then take the woman directly to the south to hide for a while. After two years, the limelight was over, and this woman was coaxed into bed by him, so naturally she wouldn't come to ask for money every time, and she didn't have to worry about her publicizing the matter.
The second son's plan was excellent, but it was a pity that he was terribly hurt by this disciple of the Li family who was bolder than the eye of a needle.
When the officers and soldiers came to the door, Prince Jian's son's face was as cold as ice slag, and his housekeeper, Ama, was in tears, and kept kowtowing to the son: "It's the slave who is not strict in discipline, and I am ashamed to let the evil son make such a big mistake. My lord."
The eldest son asked to help the butler who was born and died with Prince Jane, and sighed in his heart that the butler was good at everything, but let his wife spoil his second son too much, which made a big mistake, and only let the officers and soldiers take away the second son.
The housekeeper's wife was crying, but in the end the housekeeper covered her mouth and scolded: "Why are you crying? Do you want to go to the prison with this scoundrel, and serve him with great torture?"
One sentence made the lady dare not howl, she just cried bitterly, and the eldest son's face was livid beside him.
In the end, the son was the master, he only sent the housekeeper and his family to Zhuangzi, never to return, but he didn't take their lives.
The butler was grateful to Dade, and handed over all the affairs and accounts of these years to the heir's confidantes, and there were a few old people who served Prince Jane's daily habits, so he didn't have to worry too much.
He took his wife and children to salute and thank the eldest son repeatedly, and after saluting in front of Prince Jane's door, he tremblingly got into the carriage and left.
The butler, who had always been strong and strong, suddenly aged a lot, showing his old appearance.
The eldest son sighed, and sent someone to arrest the second son's attendant and the woman.
The attendant was knocked unconscious in the room, but the woman was nowhere to be found.
The prince frowned and said: "Look, I must find this woman! Also, the husband who killed this woman also sent someone to dig up the grave."
Jing Zhaoyin was startled by this incident, the master felt that the dead were the biggest, and such an act was really lacking, so he asked cautiously: "My lord, do you really want to open the coffin according to your son's wishes?"
Jing Zhaoyin hesitated for a moment but nodded and said: "This matter is a bit strange. The man said that he beat someone to death when he was drunk, but at that time he was staggering even when he was walking, and he only had so much strength in his hand. Kill someone?"
He had doubts in his heart, and guessed that the son was the same, so he asked the guards to dig up the tomb and set up the coffin. There was indeed something in it, which was heavy, but when it was opened, it was not a person, but a stone.
"The large and small stones are distributed from top to bottom, which happens to be about the weight of a person. It must have been done on purpose, and the few people who carried the coffin didn't notice it."
These coffin bearers cooperated very skillfully, and the coffin was very stable, so the stone would not slip to the side, so they didn't realize that it was not a person but a stone inside.
The coffin is empty, either the person who was killed was not dead at all, or the woman was not buried for the so-called husband at all, the former is more likely.
Even the fourth elder brother didn't expect that just a prescription sent by Niu Gulu Gege could actually involve so many things behind.
Geng Yi didn't expect that, just by listening to Si elder brother's brief description to her, she would feel that it was a big case interlocking with each other!
"Has that person recruited? Where did the prescription for Niu Colu's sister come from? Could it be that he wrote it himself?"
The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "That's true. Before I sold the medical clinic and let him have all the pictures, so the evil came out of the guts, and I asked people to pretend to be Niu Gulu Gege's family members to send the prescriptions."
Geng Yi was startled, and said in amazement: "What, he pretended to be Niu Gulu's younger sister's family, isn't it because Niu Yulu's family didn't know about it and was wronged?"
Not to mention Niu Gulu's family, even Niu Gulu Gege is more wronged than Dou E!
The fourth elder brother replied: "Yes, I sent someone to check around Niu Colu's house, and there was no such stranger. I asked privately, and Niu Colu's family never sent anything to Niu Colu Gege."
This is all a secret investigation, and they are all his people. Naturally, it is impossible to lie. Niu Gulu's family is indeed innocent.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Geng Yi asked, "Then sister Niu Gulu can come out, so she doesn't need to continue to be grounded?"
The fourth elder brother glanced at her and said: "I just said that she should be grounded for a month, but then I changed my mind. If it spreads out, it will be a joke."
Geng Yi answered immediately: "After all, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and my master has always been kind, so he must not have the heart to let Niu Yulu's sister stay alone in the yard to celebrate the New Year alone, right?"
The fourth elder brother smiled and said, "You are used to talking."
This is the meaning of promise, Geng Yi took his arm and laughed: "The concubine is telling the truth."
He lowered his head and asked, "Then tell me, why did you wink at me when the son was around?"
Geng Yi quickly conjectured that the son might be suffering from diabetes: "After all, the son lost weight so fast that he couldn't even keep up with his clothes, but he ate a lot and was extremely thirsty."
The fourth elder brother was thoughtful, and it was true that after Prince Jane's son came over, he ate a plate of dim sum by himself, and drank two pots of tea.
Su Peisheng also added that when he came to the door, Prince Jane's son was eating in a hurry. He thought it was because he took care of Prince Jane that he delayed his breakfast, but he said he was hungry when he came.
The front feet are still eating, the back feet are hungry again, and the person is still skinny, which is indeed a bit scary.
Geng Yi said: "The concubine's winking is because if the son really suffers from diabetes and cannot eat sweets, please ask Fujin to order the kitchen to replace the snacks with salty ones."
The fourth elder brother finally found out why the dim sum suddenly changed from sweet to salty. It turned out to be the reason.
He saw Shizi had a strange expression just after taking a bite, and he wanted to change back to the sweet ones. At that time, Geng Yi winked desperately, probably to tell the fourth elder brother not to come over for the sweet snacks.
In case the son really eats it, it will be troublesome if he feels uncomfortable.
The fourth elder brother asked people to inquire, and learned that there was a Zeng imperial doctor in the imperial hospital who was best at treating diabetes, so he asked Su Peisheng to enter the palace and personally invite the man to Prince Jane's mansion to feel the pulse of the prince.
Before, the son only thought that he was getting thinner because he was too worried and tired, but the fourth elder brother personally invited the imperial doctor to come over, and he was sympathetic, so he obediently sat down and let the imperial doctor take his pulse.
This request really made Geng Yi's point of view, the son was indeed suffering from diabetes.
Imperial Physician Zeng frowned and said, "The tongue coating is red and the pulse condition is weak and feeble. It is undoubtedly diabetes. Do you usually feel very thirsty, drink a lot of water, but also run to the latrine frequently?"
The prince nodded again and again: "I still feel weak in my limbs, eating and drinking too much will cause me to lose energy, and I will lose weight very much."
Imperial Physician Zeng confirmed: "It is indeed diabetes. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it is not too late."
Otherwise, if it is delayed for a long time, it will be difficult to cure.
The prince thanked the fourth elder brother again and again: "The fourth elder brother found out more, otherwise if I am sick, I will not be able to take good care of Ama."
Imperial Physician Zeng asked curiously: "I don't know that the fourth elder brother is also quite knowledgeable about medical skills, is he self-taught?"
The fourth elder brother waved his hand and said: "No, it's Geng Gege who is next to me who knows a little medicine. Before I asked the prince to meet at the mansion, she saw it by accident, and realized that there was something wrong with the prince's body, so she reminded me to ask the imperial doctor. thirst."
Doctor Zeng was even more surprised, Ge Ge could see the illness of Prince Jane's son without needing to feel his pulse just by looking at it with his eyes.
It's a pity that she is a daughter, and she is Gege who is beside the fourth elder brother, otherwise she would be directly invited to the Tai Hospital to study!
In a few years, it is estimated that he will be a good imperial doctor with excellent medical skills!
The prince's matter also alarmed the emperor, and he called the fourth elder brother to the imperial study room for questioning: "I heard that Geng Gege next to you saw the thirst syndrome on Prince Jane's son? How do I remember Geng Gege?" My family is a small official, did my ancestors ever have an imperial doctor?"
Without his order, Li Desheng had already quietly bowed down to investigate, and came back not long after and said: "Back to the emperor, the ancestors of the Geng family did have imperial doctors, and there is a master doctor in the ancestors."
It is precisely because the ancestors gained a good reputation in folk medicine that future generations can use it to enter the Imperial Hospital.
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that he has received the true inheritance from his ancestors. If he is a man, he must be able to enter the imperial hospital to learn from the head of the hospital."
It is about the true biography of the ancestors. After all, although this person entered the Imperial Hospital later, he obviously did not make a name for himself, or he may have fallen down. That's why the younger generation did not become a big family, but ordinary officials.
If Geng Gege hadn't been drafted in, no one would have known about the past of the Geng family.
"At the beginning, I saw Geng Gege as well-behaved and sensible, but now he seems to be a smart one. It's great to be able to help."
If it hadn't been for Geng Yi to see that the illness of Prince Jian's son dragged on, it would be very difficult to cure.
When Imperial Physician Zeng came to report, he said: "The more you eat and drink for diabetes, the more uncomfortable and thin you will be. If you continue to lose weight, the viscera will not be able to bear it, as if it is collapsing, and you will be unable to hold it in a blink of an eye."
Now looking at Prince Jian's son's mental state is not bad, at least he can walk freely and he is sober, but after a long time, it's hard to say, it's really dangerous!
Today's Prince Jian used to be brave and good at fighting, but later he kept his own law and order, and was highly valued by the emperor. Now that he is ill, the imperial doctor and medicinal materials are continuously sent to Prince Jane's mansion like running water, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to him.
If something happened to the prince, the emperor would be ashamed of Prince Jane.
Especially the elder son is the eldest son, if something happens to the eldest son, the second son will be younger.
In fact, the two sons in the middle died of illness before they grew up, so the age difference is a bit big.
At any rate, the heir is the heir cultivated by Prince Jane himself. It is more than enough to be the heir. If he is gone, the second son is still a young son and has to be raised again. When Prince Jane is not around, only the female family members in the backyard will be raised in the hands of the woman. Or it might be dominated by the brothers of her natal family, otherwise, Prince Jane's lineage might be a bit difficult.
And when the child is young, there will be more accidents. Who knows if they can live to adulthood?
Prince Jane only has two sons, one big and one small, so they must not go on business trips!
The emperor praised: "Geng Gege has made great achievements, let her participate in this year's palace banquet."
It was always a great honor for elder brother to bring Fujin to the New Year's palace banquet. This year was the first year that he made an exception and was allowed to attend.
In addition to this, the emperor also rewarded a box of gems, half a carload of cloth, and even a western clock!
Geng Yi was stunned, the emperor must have acted too generously!
Few families have this western clock alone, and even here, apart from his study, the only one in Fujin's courtyard is the fourth elder brother.
Now apart from the two of them, Geng Yi can also own one by himself.
She almost had tears in her eyes, it was too embarrassing for herself to judge the time by looking at the sky outside the window every day.
Seeing Geng Yi's ecstatic expression, the fourth elder brother couldn't help laughing: "Are you so happy?"
Geng Yi nodded again and again. Now that she finally has a clock to tell the time, she no longer has to work hard to guess the time. Could she not be happy!
Half a carload of cloth was too much, and she couldn't fit it in her warehouse, so she had to temporarily put it in another vacant room in the yard.
Geng Yi looked at the half-filled room, thinking that he would just fill up the rest of the space in the future!
Since you are happy, you should have a big meal!
She turned her head and asked, "Master, do you want to stay for dinner tonight?"
This has to do with whether Geng Yi can order Chef Liu's dishes or Chef Ma's dishes!
The fourth elder brother smiled: "Since you want to, then I'll come over to have dinner together tonight."
Geng Yi nodded, and immediately thought about the menu.
Gotta eat something good tonight. It's getting colder, so it's time for something warm.
She called Xiao Zhuzi over, and learned that the kitchen had brought a basket of fresh river fish. There were not many fish in winter, so it was really rare to have so many.
It is not easy to store fish in cold weather, and the kitchen is worried about what to do with it.
If it needs to be stored for two days, the fish may freeze to death and cannot be kept alive, so it is a waste.
But the fourth elder brother and Fujin don't like fish very much. Song Gege has mostly been a vegetarian for the past two years, and Li Gege and Niu Gulu Gege don't like it either.
Geng Yi had an idea, can't this be a pickled fish?
She asked Xiao Zhuzi, and learned that there was a jar of sauerkraut in the kitchen, and she would make side dishes on weekdays, so it was just right.
"Go and tell your two companions that you want a pot of fish with pickled cabbage tonight. After the fish is washed, remove the bones, slice the fish into thin pieces, put them in the pickled cabbage, and put a little dogwood in it."
Geng Yi briefly described it, and Xiao Zhuzi nodded again and again to mark it down: "Geng Gege, besides this sauerkraut fish, do you want other dishes?"
If there are a lot of fish, there is actually no need for other dishes, but she still said: "By the way, remember to heat the pickled fish in the pot, and add some vegetarian dishes, and wash everything and send it together."
When the fish fillets in the sauerkraut fish are finished, you can also put vegetables in it and cook to eat. It has the aroma of sauerkraut fish and can relieve greasy.
"There is also rice, which is most suitable for pickled fish."
Seeing that Geng Yi had no other orders, Xiao Zhuzi ran to the kitchen to report the food.
After hearing this, Chef Liu said with a smile: "There are a lot of fish, it seems that we have to ask all the apprentices to help."
Deboning and slicing fish requires excellent knife skills, otherwise the slices are too thin and will easily rot when cooked, and if they are too thick, they will not taste good.
Chef Ma nodded slightly and said, "Then let them try first."
The two each had an apprentice and asked them to start deboning and filleting the fish first.
Even if the two cooks didn't say anything, they could tell that this was a silent competition, let's see whose apprentice was stronger!
Even if the two apprentices had seen the scene, they couldn't help but tighten their hands holding the knife slightly.
God knows how the two masters are staring at them. If one loses, will they stand against the corner of the wall with a bowl of water all night?
It's freezing cold, no one wants to be punished, and it's about master's face, so of course they have to work hard!
So the two sides became more serious, grasping the fish with the left hand, and knocking the fish unconscious with the back of the knife with the right hand, and then began to slice the whole fish back with the knife horizontally, and sliced into small pieces after both sides were sliced.
The thin piece can transmit light, but it can't be broken when clamped, which is fast and good.
In a blink of an eye, the two finished a fish, and went to catch another fish in the bucket with their left hands to continue working.
Cook Liu and Cook Ma went to check on each other's apprentices respectively. Cook Liu was quite satisfied with Cook Ma's apprentice. Almost every piece of this fish fillet was the same size and the same thickness, so they must have worked hard on weekdays.
Although Chef Ma didn't say anything, Chef Liu still knew that his apprentice was slightly inferior, even if the thickness was about the same, the same fish fillet was pleasing to the eye.
Chef Liu waved his hand to signal his apprentice not to work too hard, he lost this time.
The apprentice was quite disappointed, so he put down the knife in his hand and let another apprentice of Chef Ma continue to take over.
But Chef Ma said: "Speaking of sauerkraut, it's still yours to cook."
Chef Liu smiled, knowing that Chef Ma was stepping down for himself, so he nodded and said, "That's right, the vat of sauerkraut I made before is also delicious, let's open the vat and have a look."
He called his disciples to take out the sauerkraut from the big tank and cut it into pieces.
The fish over there was almost cut, so Chef Liu started to cook the sauerkraut first.
According to Geng Yi's order, cornel was also put in, and it smelled sour and hot, and the saliva began to churn.
In the end, the fish fillets were not cooked, because if left early, it would be overcooked, and if left too late, it would be too raw. Cook Ma planned to put it in front of the master himself later.
The fish is not all cut, only half of it is processed, and the other half can be cut when the masters feel that it is not enough, and it will be fresher.
The vegetables were washed and brought up in different categories, filling a large table.
The fourth elder brother saw so many dishes, and there was a stove in the middle, so he couldn't help asking: "Are you eating pot tonight?"
Geng Yi smiled and shook his head: "No, I will find out later on."
She was still playing tricks, so the fourth elder brother sat down with a smile, and the fish over there had already been delivered. Chef Ma put it into the pot himself, cooked it with the sauerkraut for a while, looked at the color of the fish and nodded quickly: "Si elder brother, Geng Gege, the fish is ready."
Geng Yi quickly picked up two chopsticks for the fourth elder brother, and then picked up a piece of fish for himself, blew on the hot air, put it in his mouth, and quickly narrowed his eyes.
The sauerkraut is very authentic, and the taste of cornel is a bit strong. It would be better if you use chili directly, and it would be even better if there is pickled pepper.
The fourth elder brother took a bite. The fish was sour and spicy. It tasted fresh and tender without any fishbone.
After eating two bites of fish with rice, it didn't take long for me to feel my whole body warm up.
He couldn't help feeling that Geng Yi was really delicious, and he knew how to eat it.
"This fish pot is not bad. I will send a copy of this recipe to Huang Ama and His Royal Highness later." It's simple, and it's a pot suitable for eating in winter. Naturally, the two of them can't miss it.
Chef Ma responded immediately, the eunuch was illiterate, and he would ask Linglong, who was around Fujin who could read, to help write the recipes.
Geng Yi thought that there was too much fish, and it was almost done after finishing the pot, but before she had picked up a few chopsticks, the fish was gone, so Chef Ma hurriedly asked his apprentice to cut fresh fish and bring it to him.
After sending them back and forth twice, the fourth elder brother was full, and Geng Yi was full because of rushing to eat, so Rusui helped him get up and walk around the room while covering his stomach.
The fourth elder brother laughed and said, "If you are greedy, you must be full."
But as soon as he stood up, he found that he was also full without knowing it, violating the usual rule of only eating [-]% full, and could only follow Geng Yi back and forth in the room.
He wondered: "There are only one or two bites of fish meat, and there are only two pieces of fish cut out of one fish. It doesn't look like much after eating so much. How can I be full?"
Geng Yi was amused, because apart from eating fish, the fourth elder brother also ate it with rice, and the rice was quite filling.
The two of them walked for half an hour before they felt comfortable. They drank the hawthorn tea they brought to help them digest their food.
The fourth elder brother talked about the emperor's making an exception and letting Geng Yi attend the palace banquet: "I have already told Fujin, and I will let the embroiderer come over tomorrow to tailor your clothes for you, and the jewelry must also be matched. Another name is Liao. Mammy will tell you about the rules in the palace so as not to offend others."
Seeing Geng Yi's nervous and apprehensive look, he comforted him again: "Small collisions are nothing, as long as you don't make big mistakes, most people don't care about it. If the other party really cares about it, what are you afraid of if you have Master here?"
Anyway, the fourth elder brother looked like he was taking care of all the big and small things for you, Geng Yi smiled and nodded to thank: "With the master here, the concubine is naturally not afraid."
She was a little nervous, after all, she was about to meet the emperor of the ages!
I don't know if it's very serious or amiable?
The fourth elder brother put his arms around Geng Yi, and couldn't help laughing when he found that she was still tense: "Don't think about it, just follow Fujin when the time comes."
They must go to greet Concubine De, but according to Concubine De's usual style, they should not pay much attention to Geng Yi and only talk to Fujin.
That's good too, Geng Yi says less and makes less mistakes, anyway, the time to meet Concubine De will not be too long, and he will come out soon.
The next day Fujin asked Nanny Liao to bring Xiuniang to Geng Yi's place to start making new clothes, and told her the rules of entering the palace.
In fact, there is only one rule in general, and everyone who sees them salutes.
Geng Yi's identity should not see the married woman, so the only one who can see her is the master in the palace. She has the lowest status, so she has to salute everyone she sees.
She thought about kneeling when she saw people, wouldn't her knees be broken?
Shouldn't it be easier to kneel, lest the knees be really useless?
Fortunately, Nanny Liao said to Geng Yi: "Except for going outside, when the ceremony is inside, the court ladies will prepare cushions."
The implication is that most people would not make it difficult to bow to a nobleman. In winter, people would kneel on the cold ground, but they would be given a cushion, which would neither hurt nor be cold, but it was quite good.
Geng Yi nodded, it seemed that kneeling was easy and there was no need to do it.
Nanny Liao briefly told Geng Yi that there is currently no queen in the palace, only a few concubines who are in charge of the affairs of the harem.
The life wife will greet several concubines together, and if there are too many people, Geng Yi can make up for it!
Geng Yi was led to salute, and he thought that Nanny Liao would be extremely strict, and still held a small wooden stick in his hand, knocking on whatever was wrong.
Who knew that Nanny Liao only simply corrected a few wrong places, the wooden stick was used not to touch Geng Yi's body, but to support it slightly.
After going back and forth a few times, Nanny Liao nodded and said: "Geng Gege learned the original rules well, and there is no mistake in saluting."
It can be seen that Geng Yi's body has never neglected his studies before, and his every move is standard enough.
Geng Yi was finally relieved, it would be really torture for her to learn it all over again.
Fortunately, this body was strong enough, and her body memory was good, so she escaped unharmed.
Xiu Niang began to choose fabrics after measuring Geng Yi. Of course, it is not auspicious to choose too plain colors for the Chinese New Year.
But too bright and gorgeous colors are not acceptable, if you want to clash with a noble lady, it would be impolite.
She could only choose from the middle, not too showy but not too clean, the embroiderer picked out three pieces of fabric, and Nanny Liao asked Geng Yi which one she liked better.
Geng Yi chose a blue fabric with fewer patterns, feeling that the color looks fresher!
The embroiderer turned her head and took out another thick book of patterns for her to continue picking.
There are all kinds of dense patterns, and it seems that Geng Yi's choice disorder is about to suffer.
Although these patterns looked different, the difference was not that big. She looked dizzy and could only turn to Mother Liao for help: "Look at these patterns, Mother Liao, which one is better?"
Nanny Liao was most familiar with these tricks, knowing which ones Geng Yi could use and suitable for her, she ordered a few.
Geng Yi nodded indiscriminately and said, "Then listen to Nanny Liao, just these few."
Nanny Liao couldn't help but look at her twice more, Geng Gege trusted herself too much, so she nodded without looking carefully?
But think about it, Fujin has no reason to harm Geng Gege, and he respects the rules, how could Nanny Liao make it difficult for Geng Yi!
So clothes and shoes are finally settled, and jewelry is next.
The golden hairpins and golden steps are too conspicuous, and wearing two more, Geng Yi looks at himself in the mirror like a Christmas tree, and his head can glow in the dark.
The simple silver hairpin is not too eye-catching, but it is too inconspicuous, and it is a bit shabby on such an important occasion.
In the end, it was Fujin who asked people to go to the jewelry store to buy a new pair of pearl jewelry. The hairpin was made of pearls to form a flower, and there was a butterfly beside it. It was so beautiful that even Geng Yi couldn't put it down.
In addition, there are pearl necklaces and pearl earrings, which use the pearls that were rewarded before, which are really unobtrusive and generous!
Geng Yi gestured and felt that he was beautiful!
Niu Gulu Gege was released, and he came to Geng Yi's side immediately to thank: "It's thanks to my sister's good words in front of the master, otherwise my sister would not be released early."
Geng Yi shook his head and said: "It's not my credit, but the master found out that my sister and Niu Yulu's family are innocent, so I hurriedly released my sister to celebrate the New Year together."
The fourth elder brother is a principled person, since he made a mistake, of course he would not make a mistake for the sake of face, and ground Niu Gu Lu Ge Ge all the time.
Niu Gulu Gege didn't think so. Even if he made a mistake, it would be bad for the fourth elder brother to go back and forth like this. It's better to let Niu Gulu Gege continue to be grounded for a while before releasing him.
It's only been a month, and others will definitely not make fourth elder brother unhappy because of this matter, so why would they take the initiative to intercede?
That's why Geng Yi would take it for granted, and then really persuade the fourth elder brother to let her come out.
Niu Gulu Gege thought that people's hearts are not made of stone, if Geng Yi treats her so sincerely, he should treat Geng Yi twice as well in the future!
She planned to ask Fujin later, and contact her family members, and let her family members be more vigilant, don't let anyone take advantage of her loopholes!
In addition, I also reported to my natal family that I was safe. I suddenly heard that Niu Gulu Gege was grounded by the fourth elder brother a few years ago. She almost scared her mother to death, and she became sick from fright.
Niu Gulu Gege asked Fujin for a sign, and wanted to meet her natal family, but it wasn't her mother-in-law who came, but her sister-in-law and younger sister.
The sister-in-law had a big belly, so frightened that Niu Gulu Gege hurriedly asked the maid beside her, Yunlin, to help him: "Sister-in-law, slow down, you are getting heavier now, why did you let the sister-in-law come here?"
Looking at her sister-in-law's big belly for at least six or seven months, the swollen belly is bigger than the average person's. It's hard enough to bump all the way, and she turned pale without seeing it.
The younger sister explained in a low voice beside her: "Emiang was very worried when she heard about my sister's grounding. She would be caught in the cold and could not see the wind, so she had to let my sister-in-law and I come over."
After all, my sister is still young, so she may not be able to tell clearly, and Er Niang is worried, so let her sister-in-law follow her.
