[Qing] Fourth Master, learn about health preservation

These few students made a lot of money under the banner of the elder brother and the prince, and even sent valuable calligraphy, paintings and ornaments to Mingzhu and Suo'etu. The emperor didn't know whether the two knew about it.

After thinking for a while, he sent people to tell the prince and elder brother respectively.

Then the prince replied quickly, asking the emperor to punish him severely and never tolerate it!If Suo'etu was involved, he would have to be severely punished.Even if he didn't know about it, because he didn't find out about the student's conspiracy, Suo'etu had to come to plead guilty in person.

Big Brother's reply was slower, but his attitude was completely different.

He was pleading for Mingzhu, but he thought it was impossible for Mingzhu to do such a thing.

After all, Mingzhu does not lack such calligraphy, paintings and decorations. It is because the students gave them, and they only left them because they thought they were the hearts of the students. It is impossible to get along with the students.

The emperor raised his eyebrows after reading the letter, feeling that the prince was a little too indifferent to Suo'etu, and felt that the elder brother was too defensive, and he was not very satisfied.

It happened that the fourth elder brother came over, so he casually mentioned the matter: "Sir, tell me, what should I do?"

The fourth elder brother pondered for a moment before replying: "Huang Ama, I think the elder brother is right. According to the current status of the two ministers, Mingzhu and Suo'etu, there is really no need to join forces with them just because they accept this little gift from the students. "

The emperor didn't expect that the fourth elder brother agreed with the eldest elder brother, and heard him say: "The premise is that the two ministers really don't know, and what they send is indeed just ordinary calligraphy, paintings and decorations."

These words made the emperor's expression quite intriguing: "I understand what you mean, fourth."

He seemed to just ask casually, then put it down, and began to talk about the upcoming itinerary: "I plan to take Zhuang Chen with me, he is quite familiar with the embankment behind, and the riverbed sediment problem is also handled well, let him Let’s point to other places in the past.”

The fourth elder brother agreed, and when he went out, he didn't know whether the emperor was satisfied with his answer or not.

After he left, the emperor smiled at Li Dequan and said, "The fourth child is younger than the eldest brother and the crown prince, but his brain is quite flexible."

At the beginning, the emperor's attention was also focused on whether Mingzhu and Suo'etu knew or not, even the elder brother and the prince.

It is difficult to prove whether the two of them knew or not.

However, the fourth elder brother gave another idea. Could there be other things hidden in the calligraphy, paintings and ornaments sent by the students?

If there is, it proves that the two are clearly aware of the situation, if not, it means that the two are innocent.

This is a simple and quick way to identify, the emperor asked the hidden guards to investigate when he turned around.

Even if something is really pulled out inside, it will still leave clues, which is not difficult for the dark guard.

It's just that the emperor received a reply from the dark guard a few days later, and found nothing wrong with the calligraphy, paintings and ornaments.

However, the seeds of doubt had already been buried in the emperor's heart, so he let the dark guard stay and stare at the two of them as eyeliner.

The prince and elder brother waited for several days, but they did not wait for the emperor's punishment, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, Mingzhu and Suo'etu did not know about it.

Several students were arrested and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation, but they all died of illness in prison within a few days, so the case had to be left alone.

The fourth elder brother was not too surprised to hear that several students died in prison.

Even if Mingzhu and Suo'etu were really innocent, if a few of my students did such a thing, they would still be questioned repeatedly. Who knew if the students would know something and reveal their shady things.

Only the dead will keep secrets, and it is impossible for a few students to get out of prison.

In addition, the emperor also wanted to calm things down a bit, and didn't want these students to get involved with the elder brother and the prince through Mingzhu and Suo'etu, so the case could only be concluded in a hurry.

Because Geng Yi was on the boat, he vaguely knew about this matter, and found that the fourth elder brother's expression became more serious, and it became more difficult to see his emotions.

It is estimated that the emperor's move made the fourth elder brother feel a sense of crisis, and the management of his expression has reached another level.

Even Geng Yi, who considers himself a person with sharp eyes, can't tell the difference between him and the fourth elder brother after a long time, let alone other people.

The only thing she admired the most was Su Peisheng. The fourth elder brother's expressionless face, with one glance, this Su Banban understood what the fourth elder brother was going to do. It's not because he was so good at watching, he was like a roundworm in the fourth elder brother's stomach ah!

Geng Yi was willing to bow down, and asked directly if he couldn't guess.

"Master, that Mr. Zhuang also came on board?"

The fourth elder brother nodded and said: "Yes, Huang Ama intends to let him go to various places to teach how to remove river sand."

Geng Yi blinked. It seemed that Zhuang Chen's promotion was inevitable. He might not have to wait two years, but he would directly board the ship and go back to Beijing to work as an errand.

At this time, Su Peisheng came over with the maid beside Thirteenth Brother, and the maid said anxiously: "Fourth Brother, Thirteenth Brother is not right."

The fourth elder brother frowned quickly and said, "What's wrong with Xiao Shisan? Why don't you call the imperial physician immediately if you feel unwell?"

The maid hurriedly confessed: "Brother Thirteen looked like he was seasick. After lying down for a few days and resting, his complexion became worse and worse. But he was afraid of delaying the inspection, so he kept the maid waiting to keep it secret."

But the thirteenth elder brother felt uncomfortable in his stomach after eating something just now, she felt that something was wrong, she thought it was not simple seasickness, knowing that the thirteenth elder brother didn't want to alarm the emperor, so she hurried over to find the fourth elder brother.

The fourth elder brother wanted to go to see the thirteenth elder brother as soon as he heard it, Geng Yi quickly got up and said: "Master, I also want to go and have a look."

He nodded and took Geng Yi with him. On the other hand, he asked Su Peisheng to invite the imperial physician to come and see Brother Thirteen.

The fourth elder brother walked very fast, and Geng Yi had to trot to catch up.

The two lived not far away, and after walking for a while, he entered Brother Thirteen's yard.

The thirteenth elder brother looked up and saw the fourth elder brother and Geng Yi behind him, as well as his own maid, so he knew that the fourth elder brother must know, and immediately smiled wryly: "I don't think anything is wrong, maybe I am a little seasick."

However, Geng Yi saw the red light that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly circled around Thirteenth Brother's head, and then circled around his stomach before disappearing.

This hint became more and more confusing, and it became more and more difficult to guess. She looked at Brother Shisan's head and stomach, frowned and recalled various symptoms: "Seeing Brother Thirteen has been covering his stomach, is it uncomfortable?"

The fourth elder brother hurriedly stepped forward and sat next to the thirteenth elder brother, and also asked, "Where is your stomach hurting, does it hurt?"

Elder Brother Thirteen shook his head and said, "It doesn't hurt, Brother Fourth, don't worry, I just feel my stomach is a little bloated."

Geng Yi looked at him thoughtfully: "Brother Thirteen, is it not easy to fall asleep at night, but after falling asleep, he always has a dream and always wakes up?"

Hearing this, Brother Thirteen nodded again and again and said: "Yes, that's exactly the case. My sister-in-law didn't even get the pulse, so you can see it just by looking at it?"

Geng Yi shook his head, just thinking about the place where the red light was wandering, if it was the problem of the stomach, where would it go wandering around the head.

The two must be connected, if so.

Before she could reply, the imperial physician came over in a hurry, even the emperor was startled, and came over together and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that Xiao Shisan was unwell? The imperial physician can see what's going on!"

The imperial doctor took Thirteenth Elder Brother's pulse and said: "The tongue coating is pale and thin, the pulse condition is thin and weak, dizziness and abdominal distension, and sleeplessness at night, it must be due to deficiency of both heart and spleen."

From Geng Yi’s point of view, brother Thirteen’s lack of sleep caused dizziness, and then he couldn’t eat, felt weak, and couldn’t sleep well at night, so the vicious cycle became weaker and weaker, and he began to feel bloated and more tired. up.

When a person is uncomfortable, the first and most obvious reaction of the body is the stomach.

Fortunately, the serving maid was vigilant, otherwise it would not be as simple as abdominal distension and insomnia if he continued like Brother Thirteen.

The emperor frowned and said a few words to Elder Brother Thirteen harshly, seeing his drooping head in pain, he couldn't bear it and said, "Take care of him well, and we will delay our departure for a few days."

The thirteenth brother was originally afraid of delaying things so he didn't dare to speak, but in the end he delayed the emperor's inspection, and he felt very guilty.

The emperor stroked his head and said: "What are you afraid of when the inspection is a few days late, the dam will not run long, the most important thing is that you get better."

After he finished speaking, he was a little worried, and felt that he should leave Elder Thirteen here completely to recuperate from his illness, and then follow up after he recovered, or go back to Beijing directly.

The thirteenth elder brother saw the emperor's thoughts, hugged the emperor's arm and said: "Huang Ama, I want to go with you, and I will be fine in two days."

He looked at the emperor eagerly, and the emperor was not at ease about leaving the thirteenth elder brother behind, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Then listen to the doctor's advice and drink the medicine carefully, and don't refuse to drink it because of hardship."

Brother Thirteen had a bitter face, he really didn't want to take the medicine.

But according to the imperial physician, it was impossible not to drink the medicine, so he could only nod and agree.

Brother Thirteen drank the decoction for a few days, and felt that his tongue was so bitter that he couldn't taste anything else, and his body gradually recovered.

He can also fall asleep at night, and his energy is getting better every day during the day, but the porridge every day has the bitter taste of soup, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

The emperor was worried, so he asked the thirteenth elder brother to take care of him for a few more days, and after drinking the decoction for a few more days, he confirmed that there was really no problem, and then continued to set off.

However, Elder Brother Thirteen is recovering, but he still has no appetite for food, and the tip of his tongue still has the bitter taste of soup.

The fourth elder brother was a little anxious about this, and he couldn't eat anymore.

Geng Yi knew that Elder Thirteen's tongue would suffer a bit after taking the medicine, so he had to eat something tasty, but how could Yuchu dare to let Elder Thirteen who had just recovered from illness eat these? That kind of blandness must make people even more unable to eat.

She thought about a few recipes and asked the imperial chef to try it out, and asked the fourth elder brother to eat it first: "Master, taste it first, if it tastes good, let the imperial doctor have a look, if there is no problem, ask the thirteenth elder brother to eat it too. "

The fourth elder brother was willing to eat well after hearing this. What Geng Yi asked to cook was a yam and mutton soup, and a duck with spiritual herbs.

These two dishes are both nourishing blood and calming the nerves, which are good for the fourth elder brother's health, and also suitable for the thirteenth elder brother.

Yam and mutton soup is simple to make. First fry the mutton and then stew it. Add onion, ginger, garlic and cooking wine to remove the smell of mutton. After the stew is almost done, add yam.

For ducks with spiritual grass, spiritual grass is a kind of medicinal herb with a sweet aroma, stuffed into the belly of the duck and cooked together, the duck meat also has the faint scent of spiritual grass.

Madam Hu went to the kitchen with two dishes, and she could smell the aroma along the way.

She just put down and took out the dishes, and Ruyu outside asked, "Brother Thirteen?"

The fourth elder brother raised his head as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw the thirteenth elder brother poking his head: "The thirteenth brother is here, why don't you come in?"

Thirteenth brother was a little embarrassed, he came here smelling the smell, and he couldn't eat normally, but today he smelled the smell and his stomach started to growl, so he couldn't help coming over: "Fourth brother, what are you eating here?" , so fragrant!"

Seeing that he was staring at the dishes on the table, he was obviously hungry. The fourth elder brother was overjoyed: "This is just delivered by the imperial chef. It has been cooked a lot. Thirteenth brother, let's sit down and eat together."

Brother Thirteen heard this, smiled and thanked before sitting down.

Ruyu has already sent an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, the fourth elder brother picked up some chopsticks for the thirteenth elder brother, and urged: "Come and taste if it's delicious... No, the thirteenth brother will wait for a while."

The thirteenth elder brother picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but when the fourth elder brother said it, he froze all over. Why did he suddenly not let him eat?

The fourth elder brother asked Su Peisheng to invite the imperial physician over, and asked if the two dishes were suitable for the thirteenth elder brother.

Su Peisheng put each dish into a small bowl with chopsticks, and the imperial doctor tasted it carefully, then nodded and said: "No problem, these two dishes are the most warm and tonic, and they are suitable for Brother Thirteen."

The fourth elder brother was relieved after hearing this: "That's good, the thirteenth brother can eat."

Geng Yi looked at Elder Thirteen pitifully, his chopsticks froze in mid-air for a while, watching the delicious food that was about to be eaten entered the imperial physician's mouth, and watching the imperial physician eating with gusto , it is too miserable.

When the fourth elder brother opened his mouth, the thirteenth elder brother quickly moved his chopsticks, for fear of being blocked again.

As soon as he ate it, Elder Thirteen stared wide-eyed, nodded repeatedly and said, "Fourth brother, this duck meat is delicious."

The fourth elder brother smiled, and scooped up yam and mutton soup for him: "Eat slowly, no one will grab you, and drink some soup."

The thirteenth elder brother nodded again and again after drinking the soup, and it looked so delicious that the fourth elder brother couldn't help but also started to eat.

Geng Yi next to him also moved his chopsticks frequently, after all, no matter how slow she ordered the food would be gone.

Fortunately, Yuchu cooks a whole duck, otherwise it would definitely not be enough to eat.

The soup was also finished, and the thirteenth elder brother was very satisfied when he touched his stomach. He hadn't eaten so happily for a long time: "The food here is very delicious, and the imperial chef made me all white porridge, so light that everyone would eat it." No less."

The fourth elder brother smiled and said: "If you like it, you can come and eat together every day. Maybe there are more people and the food is lively, and you will feel delicious."

The thirteenth elder brother readily agreed to come down. He was a little sleepy after eating, and was urged by the fourth elder brother to go to the cabin next door to sleep for a while.

After that, the thirteenth elder brother came to eat with the fourth elder brother and Geng Yi every day, and Geng Yi changed the dishes.

For example, astragalus guinea fowl, Ganoderma lucidum chicken soup, steamed fish with schisandra, prunella sophora flower cake, etc. Anyway, they are all suitable for the thirteenth elder brother, and the fourth elder brother can eat them well.

Geng Yi also prepared a portion for the imperial physician, and after trying two bites, the imperial physician would not have to watch them eat it, which is also very greedy.

Simply order an extra portion and share it out, and the imperial chef will not be too troublesome.

The thirteenth elder brother saw that his cheeks, which had been a little thinner after eating, rounded up, the fourth elder brother was very pleased, and Geng Yi felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Zhuang Chen took the first step to teach other places to fish for river sand, and the results were quite good.

The emperor, who was a few days late, looked at the thick pile of sand dug out from the bank and stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Well done."

Zhuang Chen smiled and thanked him: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, it went so smoothly."

However, Geng Yi saw the fourth elder brother frowning and staring at the pile of river sand, and followed him for a few more times, but he didn't see anything.

The emperor left Zhuang Chen to continue to deal with the river sand. This time when the big ship docked, there happened to be a post station nearby, so he didn't find another place to live, so he stayed nearby.

The emperor lives in the middle of the second floor, and the thirteenth prince and the fourth prince live on both sides.

After returning, the emperor directly waved to the fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother to go to the imperial study room. After sitting down, he asked, "Fourth brother, tell me, what did you find just now?"

The fourth prince's expression, let alone Geng Yi noticed it, the emperor also noticed it.

Hearing this, the fourth elder brother replied: "Huang Ama, there is something wrong with the river sand. It stands to reason that the old river sand has been at the bottom of the river for a long time, and there may be fish corpses and various sundries in it. The stench is unbearable after a long time. But My son sees so much river sand piled up on the bank, but it doesn't have a strong smell."

The color looks dull, and it is indeed the same as the river sand dug out before, but it is much cleaner.

Although they were far away, so much river sand piled up together, only a little smell wafted over, which made the fourth elder brother a little puzzled.

The emperor looked at Elder Thirteen and said, "Young Thirteen, can you tell me?"

Elder Brother Thirteen thought for a while and said: "Just now, I also felt that something was wrong, but I never caught it. After being mentioned by the fourth brother, I thought that the porter who used the fishing net to fish the river sand on the river bed was not Looks too tired."

There is so much river sand on the banks of the river, it stands to reason that there should be so much fishing day and night.

But these porters didn't look too tired, which proved that they were not tired.

Elder Brother Thirteen said again: "However, this does not prove that the porters are lazy. It may also be that they take turns to rest. These porters are newcomers, and they go to work as soon as they rest, so their faces are not so tired."

The emperor nodded, and saw Li Dequan come in suddenly, whispered a few words in his ear, then frowned and said: "You guys see it well, after Zhuang Chen confessed, let the local officials take responsibility, but it's a pity that they want to get credit and let the porters fake it." , Most of the sand on the bank is dug from the foot of the mountain elsewhere, watered thoroughly and then mixed with the river sand for appearance.”

This seems to be indistinguishable from the real and the fake. It is estimated that the local officials will not know that the fourth elder brother would actually get close to the real river sand before and notice the stench.

After all, for noble people like them, it would be nice to come over and take a look from a distance in person. How could they really get close to such filthy things?

Who would have thought that the fourth elder brother is an extremely pragmatic person, not only seeing it with his own eyes, but also taking a close look at it.

So when he knew the truth, he was very angry. He dared to cheat such a thing as fishing river sand?

"Huang Ama, this matter must be severely punished!"

The emperor was about to go crazy when he saw the fourth elder brother, his face was flushed with anger, and he knew how angry he was once he changed his usual calm appearance, but he was not so angry: "It's natural, none of them can even try to run away! Ten Three, tell me, will Zhuang Chen be punished?"

Brother Thirteen said, "It depends on whether Mr. Zhuang knows or not. If he doesn't know, he should be punished lightly, but he must be punished. After all, he is responsible for this matter, but he has not fulfilled his duty of supervision."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, he was impartial, and he punished anyone who made a mistake, and the severity was measured, instead of being beaten to death.

He was quite satisfied with the answers of the two sons, and waved his hand to signal Li Dequan to take them down.

Zhuang Chen came to plead guilty on the same day, and said with regret on his face: "My minister is guilty, I failed to keep an eye on the shore, and let them pretend to hide from the emperor."

When he found out, he was going crazy. He finally got this job. Seeing that he was about to be promoted, these local officials actually wanted to hold him back!

If it weren't for the emperor's discernment, Zhuang Chen would have jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't clean himself up!

The emperor signaled him to stand up and said, "You are indeed at fault. Some things should be let go when you should let go, but you can't let go of everything."

Zhuang Chen knew that the emperor was reminding him, so he thanked him again and again.

In the end, he was fined half a year's salary, which was considered a light let-off.

The local officials were not so lucky. One counted as one. As long as those who participated or knew about it were all taken off their hats and sent to prison for interrogation, we will see how many bad things will come out.

Zhuang Chen continued to personally take charge of fishing the sand from the river, and this time he did not dare to be sloppy. He went to the river to watch every day from morning to night, fearing that these porters would be lazy or continue to cheat.

Fortunately, the porters learned that the local officials had been imprisoned, and all of them were very obedient. They honestly used fishing nets to fish river sand, and never dared to help counterfeiters.

These porters were innocent, so the emperor did not punish them, but the non-reporting made them prolong the construction period, which was regarded as a lenient punishment. The porters were still grateful and worked harder.

Moreover, not all local officials participated, there were still a few upright small officials who were excluded, who were re-promoted by the emperor to take over Zhuang Chen's affairs.

It was like a pie falling from the sky. It knocked out a few petty officials who had been isolated all this time and thought they had no hope of promotion in this life. They almost fell over when they were thanking each other, and they cried bitterly on the spot.

The emperor didn't blame them for being disrespectful in front of the imperial court. After all, according to Li Dequan's inquiring news, these people were suppressed by other local officials, and they had a miserable life. their gaffe.

Someone took over, and Zhuang Chen heaved a sigh of relief, which meant that he could continue to follow the emperor to inspect.

After living on the boat for a long time, I actually got used to it. Geng Yi was in a daze occasionally, drank milk tea, thought of some recipes to make the thirteenth brother fat, and tried to find excuses not to play chess with the fourth brother. Every day was quite fulfilling.

Every time the big ship goes to a place, it rests for a few days and lives in various places.

There are local inns, but the simplicity is better than the neatness and cleanliness.There are local palaces, which are much more spacious and luxuriously decorated, but there are not many such places, only one or two.

In addition, there are also the courtyards of local wealthy households or squires, which look the same as Zhuang Chen's. It is said that they are newly built courtyards. In fact, they have never lived in them at all, and they are specially prepared for the emperor.

Everyone is as shrewd as Zhuang Chen, which can be regarded as a little tacit understanding between the monarch and his subjects.

Elder Brother Thirteen has been eating with them all the time, almost without a break. He ate well and adapted to the life on the swaying boat. He actually grew a little taller.

The fourth elder brother gestured, and the thirteenth elder brother was overjoyed: "If I eat more, I can grow taller than the fourth elder brother."

After hearing this, the fourth elder brother stretched out his hand and pressed the thirteenth elder brother's head: "You kid, you have not grown taller than me, and you want to surpass me?"

The thirteenth elder brother was smiling, only thinking that he still had the possibility to grow taller, and the fourth elder brother really didn't.

Seeing the two fighting, Geng Yi felt that the relationship between the two brothers was really good.

Along the way, the inspection of Yongding River is almost done.

It may be that because of the river sand fraud in the front, a large number of local officials were imprisoned, which frightened the people behind, and everyone dared not make small moves. The inspection situation was good.

Maybe some movements were a little slower, but because of the weather, the emperor didn't care too much, just let them speed up, so as not to delay the progress of the project.

Faster than expected, the big ship has already turned back.

Sitting in the cabin, Geng Yi still felt a little emotional. During this period of time, he was with the fourth elder brother every day, and he would not see each other from morning to night after returning.

She doesn't have to get up early every morning, and she has to dress up to look the best. Even if she doesn't go out and stare in the cabin, she can't wear loose and comfortable clothes, let alone regular clothes.

After all, Elder Brother Thirteen had to come over for dinner, so Geng Yi had to dress neatly.

When she was in Baylor Mansion, because she didn't need to meet outsiders, as far as the fourth elder brother was concerned, she could dress simply, and she had to dress well when she went out to meet people occasionally.

Now that he can finally go back, Geng Yi can also get rid of this nightmare of getting up early every day and dressing up for more than half an hour every day!

Seeing her happy appearance, the fourth elder brother smiled and said, "Do you miss home so much?"

Geng Yi kept nodding, can't you not think about it, she will be able to sleep in comfortably when she goes back!

The fourth elder brother also felt emotional, in the blink of an eye two or three months, no matter how good the outside is, he is also homesick.

Si Fujin would write letters occasionally, mostly because there was nothing special, just to report that he was safe, and he would write a letter every half a month, and he was afraid of disturbing him if he came too many.

Most of the letters were about the affairs of the mansion, such as the safety of the people in the backyard, and the affairs of the capital.

Recently, Si Fujin mentioned the pear cream candy that Da Fujin and San Fujin had given to them. The two have been happy for the past two days. Many noble ladies came to ask for this, so they asked Si elder brother if he wanted to get it directly like Yurong Gao The storefront sells it outside.

Not only can they make money, they can also have a clean life.

Otherwise, Si Fujin would get a headache just looking at the endless posts.

I don't know who spread the rumor that the pear paste candy from Sibeile Mansion is different from other places, and it is easy to get pregnant after eating it.

The fourth elder brother mentioned it to Geng Yi as a joke, and she was dumbfounded.

Where did it say pear paste candy, isn't this taking the job of giving away Guanyin?

"Master, why would anyone believe this?"

The imperial doctor said that pear paste candy is also available among the people, but it is not so finely made, it is rougher, and the taste is not so good if there is less sugar, but the effect is similar.

It is such a cheap and easy-to-use thing, how many people have eaten it, why do the ladies believe that if they eat it, they will become pregnant?

Even if eating this food is good for your health, as long as people who are not diabetics eat it, there is nothing wrong with it, and children can eat it, but how can such ridiculous rumors spread?

Geng Yi was a little puzzled, if Si Fujin could tell her here, it would be because there are many women who have not been able to conceive all year round and want to find a sustenance.

If you can't get pregnant, it's either you are not favored, and if men don't come to the room, it will be difficult to get pregnant.

In addition, it may be due to the bones of the body, whether it is the woman or the man.

If other people in the backyard can conceive, but I can't, the pressure will be great, I will have trouble sleeping and eating, the worse my body will be, and it will be more difficult to conceive.

It's just that Sanfujin, who hadn't been able to conceive all the year round, was pregnant, and the noble ladies had hope.

But the more you explain, the more no one will believe it. Sifujin simply should be sparse rather than blocked. If you blindly deny others and think that the people in Sibeile Mansion are hiding, it is better to be generous and open a store for them to buy and try. , is ordinary pear paste candy, if you can get pregnant, you will have a ghost!

The fourth elder brother said: "Why don't we just open another shop? Otherwise, there will be too many people coming to the door."

It's good that he didn't go back, but when he returns home, so many ministers and honorable wives will come to the door, even if it's just for pear paste candy, it's not appropriate.

After being found out by the emperor, he thought what the fourth elder brother was going to do, what did he want to win over the officials?

Geng Yi also nodded in agreement and said, "The more generous we are, the more they'll know it's all nonsense after eating pear paste candies."

They were still floating on the boat, this time Si Age planned to hand over the sale of pear paste candy to Si Fujin, and then Si Fujin planned to give Fang Zi's Geng Yi a [-]% profit.

Geng Yi has no objection, since this store is from Fujin, she will make an ordinary recipe of pear paste candy, and it is the kindness of the Fujin people who can make a [-]% profit.

The matter was settled in this way, and when the big ship returned to the capital, the thirteenth elder brother reluctantly said goodbye to the fourth elder brother, followed the emperor back to the palace, and the fourth elder brother took Geng Yi back to Baylor's mansion.

When the carriage passed by the street, the fourth elder brother pointed to the outside and said to Geng Yi: "It happened that the yard I bought from Xiaojiu was still empty, so I simply changed it to a pear paste candy shop, and the warehouse is just like Yurong paste. Together, it’s easier to manage.”

In addition, the workshop is also set up at the back. Sifujin asked Nanny Liao to invite many maids and women to make pear paste candy, just like the female workers of Yurong Paste, they can also live next to it, and it is much more convenient to go to work.

Geng Yi peeked out secretly, and then he was stunned: "Master, why do you see that the shop on the left is Yurong Paste, and the shop on the right is Li Gao Candy?"

Compared with those who sell Yurong Paste, it seems that there are more people queuing at the pear paste candy?

The fourth elder brother took a look and was puzzled, thinking of asking Si Fujin after returning home.

After the two got off the carriage, the fourth elder brother went back to take a bath and changed, and Geng Yi also returned to his yard, wishing to roll in the familiar big bed.

After all, the cabin was too small, even though she almost slept in the big bed over by the fourth elder brother, it was still not as comfortable as sleeping in the big bed by herself!

Rusui also showed excitement when she saw Geng Yi, and she was relieved when she saw that her own Ge Ge was not thinner but a little fatter.

She heard that she would get dizzy on a boat, and even if she didn't get dizzy, she might not be able to eat. She was very worried that Geng Yi would lose a lot of weight after returning, and now she finally felt relieved.

Geng Yi took a comfortable bath. It was too troublesome to boil water on the boat, so it was generally enough. It was impossible to take a bath every two days, so it was finally okay when he came back.

Her skin was wrinkled from the soaking, and she almost fell asleep in the bathtub, but she was woken up by Rusui gently.

After washing, Geng Yi was a little sleepy, and the fourth elder brother over there sent someone to invite her, so she had no choice but to change clothes and go there.

Seeing Geng Yi, Si Fujin looked him up and down and smiled, "It's a good thing you haven't lost any weight, thanks to your hard work, I haven't lost much weight either."

Before the fourth brother went on tour with him, he might not be acclimatized, but he couldn't bear to talk about it. He was terribly uncomfortable, couldn't eat and sleep well, and insisted on relying on his young and strong body to get through it. When he came back, he lost a lot of weight, which made Si Fujin feel very distressed.

This time she was worried that the fourth elder brother would do the same. Fortunately, Geng Yi was there. Hearing that she had improved the appetite of the thirteenth elder brother, she immediately felt that it was perfect for the fourth elder brother to take Geng Yi out.

Sifujin greeted Geng Yi to sit down, and continued to talk about the pear paste candy with the fourth elder brother: "This is easy to make. There were not many people invited to the workshop at the beginning. I thought that the wives would send someone to buy some and go back to try it." I knew it was useless, and after a while, the curiosity passed, and there were no repeat customers, thinking that there were more people at first, so I prepared some goods, and let it be sold out.”

She looked a little helpless and said: "Who would have thought that I gave some pear paste candies to the fifth younger sibling before, and she gave a jar to the Guarjia family of Xifujin. She is also happy these few days."

Wu Fujin was unraveled by Si Fujin last time, and later he thought about it too. He thought that it would be better to rely on the empress dowager than relying on the fifth elder brother, so he worked hard to learn Mongolian, and then often passed the sign into the palace to visit the empress dowager.

The empress dowager likes to be lively, but there are not many people in the palace who can speak Mongolian, except for the emperor and a few elder brothers, most of the concubines and Fujin are also not good at it.

The emperor and his elder brothers are so busy that it is impossible to come and talk to her all day.

The concubines came here a few times, but most of them couldn't speak Mongolian, or they needed Nanny Li to act as a microphone for translation, so the chat was meaningless.

Now that there is another Wu Fujin who works hard to learn Mongolian just to chat with him more to relieve boredom, the empress dowager is not to mention how happy she is.

Moreover, the empress dowager also knew about Wu Fujin's situation. She couldn't speak Mongolian well, so she didn't like Wu elder brother.

After all, both of them can't speak, and they can't guess each other's meaning by gestures every day. It's no wonder that the relationship will be good.

So the empress dowager often called Wu Fujin into the palace, and also supported her, so that Wu Fujin's position in the mansion would be stable, and those in the backyard could be more peaceful, but she didn't intend to beat Wu elder brother.

It's not beautiful for the empress dowager to meddle in the couple's affairs.

It is very likely that Wu elder brother still misunderstood, thinking that Wu Fujin entered the palace because he said bad things about him and caused the empress dowager to be dissatisfied with him. Wouldn't this make the relationship between the husband and wife even worse?

At the beginning, Wu Fujin came to curry favor with the Empress Dowager, but later found out that the Empress Dowager was actually a very good elder, taught her a lot, and asked Mammy Li to bring out delicious food, pampering her like a favorite junior, Gradually, she became filial to her own grandmother.

On the Empress Dowager's side, perhaps because of the language environment, Wufujin's Mongolian language has improved by leaps and bounds, and simple daily communication is no problem at all. Every time I enter the palace to chat with the Empress Dowager, there are some bumps and bumps. joyous.

As for those in the backyard of the mansion, Wu Fujin did not let go completely. For example, the side Fujin Liu Jia was the most favored, so she helped another side Fujin, the Guerjia family.

In fact, she didn't do much, she just sent a can of pear paste candy from Si Fujin.

Who would have expected that the Guaerjia family of the side Fujin would be so upbeat and conceived after only serving the fifth elder brother once?

Side Fujin Liu Jia's favor is also because she gave birth to the fifth elder brother. Now that there is an extra Guarjia family, it is impossible for the fifth elder brother to favor her alone, but has a preference.

As for the pear paste candy, it was naturally spread all over the place, and there was an endless stream of people who came to buy it, and even people from other places came all the way to buy it!
