A Concubine of Salted Fish in Qing Dynasty [Red House]

Luo Yu was born in the 45th year of Kangxi, and now it is the 48th year of Kangxi.

It has been three years since the last birth, and the vitality lost in the previous birth has also been replenished, but if it can be controlled, Yun Shuyao feels that it is not too late to wait for the two grandchildren to be born again at the age of five or six.

It doesn't matter if you don't have children, the daughter already has sons and daughters. This idea is quite different at the moment, because people nowadays think that having more children is a blessing, and Luo Yu herself wants to have another one.

The old lady went to see her together with Yun Shuyao and Tang Wanxin. Luo Yu was plump compared to before, and her complexion was very good. She touched her belly that was not yet pregnant: "This is a good boy."

"While I'm still young, I'll add another sibling to them." After giving birth to this, she doesn't want to have another child, that's enough.

She glanced at her aunt, and pursed her lips into a smile. This idea can't be shared with her grandmother. Grandma is a standard idea of ​​having more children and more blessings. As long as she is healthy, why not have children?

But my aunt would agree that every childbirth will damage the vitality. After she gave birth to her first child, she has been researching medicine in this area, and strives to leave no trace.

Yun Shuyao: "Sick of pregnancy?"

Luoyu: "No morning sickness." Not only is there no morning sickness, but her appetite is also very good. The fishy smell that she couldn't smell when she was pregnant is now very well tolerated. Now she can't do without fish and shrimp in every meal.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear: "Okay, that's good! It's a blessing to be able to eat."

Her gaze slipped down to the two children beside her granddaughter. The little figures stood there, very eye-catching.

"They've all grown taller."

"It's good looking."

"They are all good children." The two children are carved in powder and jade, and it makes people feel happy when they see it.

Knowing the position of the fourth elder brother in the future, the old lady will inevitably have some utilitarianism in her heart, but she hopes that their good intentions will not be adulterated at all. The gifts she came back this time are very generous, half of which is for the two children.

"Don't you guys like this kind of hydrangea? There is a box where you can play slowly." This is specially hired craftsmen from the south, and selected good materials for the children to make.

Both children smiled sweetly. Yun Shuyao was very relieved to see the blush on their faces and their exuberant vitality. In this era, many children die young, even if they are rich and powerful, there are not a few children who die young. The foundation is excellent. If there are no accidents, the chances of growing up safely are very high.

Yun Shuyao walked up to her granddaughter and stretched out her hand, she naturally extended her hand too, she didn't admit her birth at all, she knew this was her grandmother.

Holding the sweet and soft cutie, Yun Shuyao talked to her grandson: "Do you know what it means that your mother-in-law is pregnant?"

The little elder brother put on a straight face and looked very serious, but when he opened his mouth, he sounded like a baby: "I know, my brother is in Erniang's belly now, and he will come in half a year. I am an elder brother and I have to take care of Erniang. Take care of my sister, take care of my brother." As he spoke, he puffed out his small chest and made an appearance of "I am a man" and "I am Batulu".

The old lady smiled, seeing how much she loved him: "How do you know it's my younger brother?"

It is said that children have good eyesight and can guess men and women very accurately.

The little elder brother blinked, turned his head to look at Eniang suspiciously: "Aren't you younger brother?"

……

They enjoyed themselves happily there. In the main courtyard, Sifujin offered incense to the Buddha in the small Buddhist hall, looked at the faint green smoke, and when she came back to her senses, she had already sighed deeply.

Her Honghui has been gone for so long, and there is still no good news in her stomach, and the time when the master calls her for water is less and less... She has to go the second way.

There is a biological son, and the eldest son is of course her legitimate son.

But she has no biological son, even if her elder and younger sons are orderly, the eldest son is from the Li family, if the master asks her to seal her, she will also be a side Fujin, no different from the Lin family.

In that case, the eldest son is probably Li's son, are you willing?

Not reconciled, unless she adopts a child under her knees and records it as a legitimate son.

But now the only one in the backyard is Lin Youxi, and it's not that she didn't support other Gege, but none of them got pregnant.

If Lin's child was a son, would she be willing to give her child to herself?Si Fujin didn't have much hope, but it was too late to adopt the second elder brother. He was already nine years old and sensible. He knew who his biological mother was and had feelings for him.

Will he be closer to himself, or his biological mother?

There is no need to ask, maybe he will respect him on the surface, but of course the one who is closer is Mrs. Li.

Sifujin couldn't help but think of Da Gege Yahui in the house. She was born in the 34th year of Kangxi. She is 14 years old this year and has reached the age to talk about marriage.

Thinking of this, Sifujin had an idea.

If the master can ask for grace, if Da Gege stays in Beijing and doesn't need to caress Meng, she can discuss it with Mrs. Li. She has a nephew who is about the same age as Da Gege...

As soon as Sifujin mentioned this topic, Li Gege immediately agreed.

It is always better for her daughter to marry into Fujin's natal family to go to Mongolia. Once she goes to Mongolia, she will never see her daughter again. Moreover, after getting closer to Fujin, it will be more beneficial for her son to ask for the crown prince in the future, although her son Occupying the title of eldest son, but in terms of status, Lin Fangfujin is higher than her.

With this level of relationship with Fujin, she would not choose Lin's son.

Sifujin and Li Gege reached a tacit understanding, and soon she mentioned it to the fourth elder brother, "Master, Yahui has become an adult in a blink of an eye, I don't know what the master thinks about her life-long event? We have to make plans early It is."

If you don't want her to caress, ask for grace in advance.

The fourth elder brother nodded: "I will remember this."

He already had a plan, but the timing was not ripe.

He smiled at Si Fujin, she is a competent mother-in-law.

With Si Ye's affirmation, Si Fujin also smiled: "This concubine is her mother-in-law, and Ya Hui is also a good child. I wish I could be the concubine's own child. My lord, if Ya Hui can stay in the capital with the grace of Emperor Ama , I have a nephew in my natal family..."

The fourth elder brother nodded thoughtfully after listening to her words, Ulanara's family?He wrote it down first, but didn't say anything more.

The selection of the candidate is secondary, the first thing to do is to get grace so that the daughter will not caress.

In April, the emperor took everyone to go outside the Great Wall, the prince accompanied him, and the other three, seven, eight, ten, thirteen, and fourteen princes were all named and accompanied.

The thirteenth elder brother was neglected before, but this time he was named, and he was extremely happy.

The fourth elder brother was also happy for Shisan. This time, he didn't go, and he was given a heavy responsibility to stay and supervise the country.

There is no doubt that he is now in power.

Among the remaining princes, except for the imprisoned elder brother, he is the eldest.

Fifth elder brother is an honest man who does not participate in the affairs of brothers, but he can do practical things. Ninth elder brother is one of the core members of the Eighth Master Party. He can stay and watch the situation in the capital.

Kangxi will not only let people from one side stay in the capital, but always check and balance each other.

Yun Shuyao saw that the fourth elder brother Jian Guo was so busy that he lived directly at the place of work, but he still took the time to circle some places for Chen Yu to choose.

Of course, Chenyu can choose to work in some wealthy counties, but he wants to go to poor places, where it is easier to achieve results and train people better.

The Lin family has already had a few guests, these are masters invited by Lin Ruhai for his son, one is from the Lin family clan and is good at farming, the other is a scholar who has been a master for decades and is good at criminal names, the others also have their own specialties thing.

Among the places circled by the fourth elder brother, the father and son discussed and finally chose a county in the northwest.

He went to work, Tang Wanxin and the child stayed.

The child is too young to go, and Tang Wanxin has to wait until the child is older.

But this involves a problem. After tossing and turning, Tang Wanxin tentatively proposed to raise one of her dowry maids as an aunt to take care of him.

She was worried about this issue when she was pregnant, but no one mentioned it, so she pretended not to know and gave birth to the child quietly, but now her husband is going away, and she wants to stay and take care of the child. What if there is no caring person to take care of it?

As an official wife, she should be virtuous, so she should have brought it up, so Tang Wanxin suppressed the discomfort in her heart and proposed this topic, but Chenyu refused, and he hugged his wife: "Wanxin, I said this before." But, no, you should trust me."

Doesn't he have the ability to take concubines?have.

It's just that he doesn't want to.

With concubines, there will be bastards.

He has seen too many disputes between the concubine and the concubine, and the source of many family chaos is because of the concubine.

As he was very satisfied with his wife and had a son, Chenyu didn't intend to embarrass his wife and son, and only had children from the first line, so that the problem could be avoided from the root.

"There is someone around me who can take care of you, don't worry."

"I will write to you often."

"I'm not here. You don't know what to do when you encounter something at home. Go ask your aunt."

"Auntie Xijing, you don't have to hold the baby to see her all the time."

……

He said a lot, Tang Wanxin listened, buried deeper and deeper in his arms, her eyes couldn't stop getting hot.

She also knew that her husband took a foreign post because of his long-term career considerations, and he should go, but he felt depressed, he hadn't set off yet, and he was already so reluctant.

What should I do when he is gone?

Because of this anxiety, Tang Wanxin suffered from insomnia, and then checked his packed luggage again and again, covering everything. Yun Shuyao looked at the list and found that there was nothing to add, only added some medicines.

This time he used to take the doctor with him, and this doctor was a disciple trained by Doctor Zhou.

An old lady cannot sleep well without a trusted doctor by her grandson's side.

And even though the daughter-in-law had already prepared everything, the old lady still felt that it was not enough, she wished she could let him move the whole family away, making Chenyu dumbfounded, "Grandmother, it is really enough, it is very complete."

Grandma even prepared a lot of daily necessities that he didn't use often. No matter how poor and remote the place is, there are still some of these, and there is no need to bring everything from home.

The old lady refused to listen: "It's different, those things are not easy for you to use!"

The old lady spoke convincingly: "You don't need to do anything, the housekeeper will take it there, you don't have to worry about it!"

After much difficulty, Chenyu persuaded her grandmother to reduce some unnecessary luggage, but the motorcade was still huge.

Tang Wanxin brought the maids around her to rush to work overnight and made a lot of underwear.

Before he set off, Yun Shuyao gave him a list, "That's close to the Western Regions, there are many merchants in the Western Regions, please help me pay attention, if you encounter some strange seeds, send them back."

In addition to asking him to help collect the seeds, Yun Shuyao also gave him a lot of seeds: "You can circle a place and try it. The place doesn't need to be big, but the people who plant it must be reliable and their mouths must be tight."

Yun Shuyao herself is not sure what it will look like when these seeds grow over there, it's fine if it doesn't succeed, but if it succeeds, it would be bad if the news leaked out in advance.

Chenyu solemnly agreed, he didn't delay, and set off after handing over the matter at hand.

Before he set off, the butler had already brought the people and most of the luggage there in advance, and when it was about the same time, they would dress up as merchants to help the master find out in advance.

When Chenyu left, everyone in the mansion was not used to it, it was as if the spirit of the mansion had also left, if not for the presence of a child, the old lady and Tang Wanxin would not be able to cheer up.

Before he could get out of this feeling of reluctance, another incident happened in Beijing.

As soon as Chenyu went out, Elder Brother Thirteen came back single-handedly. As soon as he entered Beijing, he went back to his mansion and closed the door.

He is a forgotten prince, without him being knighted, he is still a bald elder brother. He is very happy to be brought here by the emperor's name this time, but it is a pity that judging from this state, he is still in a state of falling out of favor and being ignored.

Then the ninth elder brother took the lead to fight for power. As soon as he showed his head, the fourth elder brother put down what he was doing and took his family to Zhuangzi in the suburbs to farm. He let go very simply.

It seems that he has no attachment to rights. If there is something that needs him to do, he will try his best to do it.

Yun Shuyao: "..."

illusion.

If he really had no ambition, he would not be the last one to ascend the throne.

But since they went to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, it happened that their family also had a Zhuangzi nearby.

The old lady and the others are fine at home, so it's better to go to Zhuangzi to relax, and it's more convenient to visit Zhuangzi.

As soon as she said, the old lady agreed: "Go."

The old lady, Yun Shuyao, Lin Daiyu, Tang Wanxin, and the little guy nicknamed Brother Yuan all went, but Lin Ruhai couldn't do it, he didn't have time.

Lin Ruhai who was "thrown away" facing the official document: "..."

He kind of wanted to retire.
