Return to the Qing Dynasty(43)

The Fourth Master and Lin Yutong sat at the top with the Queen Mother, Prince Zhi and Prince Li sat opposite each other, the Third Master and the Fifth Master sat opposite each other, the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master faced each other, and so on. This resulted in the Fifth Master's family also facing each other.

The eighth master's house is next to each other, and the ninth master's house is next to the seventh master's, sitting diagonally across from his fifth brother and eighth brother. So the families can see it very clearly.

The Ninth Master and the Thirteenth Master rushed back to the capital the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The navy and the caravan set off smoothly, but when it was a hot day, the Fourth Master gave a special order, telling them not to hurry and go when the weather is cool.

That's fine. So the two brothers traveled all the way and returned to the capital uncomfortably. Jiuye said to Thirteen, "This time it's Brother Jiu who will take advantage of you." He would be damned if the fourth brother could give himself such preferential treatment when he goes out.

It wasn’t because he was worried that Shi San’s body would suffer from heat stroke and he would be knocked down directly. In addition, because of the favor he had done to Shi San’s eldest son, Master Jiu felt sour. Sometimes he felt that the fourth brother did not look like a brother to Shi San.

To his younger brother, he is more like Ama to his son.

Thirteen chuckled: "Brother Ninth, if you have a legitimate son behind you, the elders are all concubines. As long as the child is not really unsatisfactory, the fourth master will definitely be kind to him."

These words immediately blocked Master Jiu's mouth. That's right! He didn't have a legitimate son at all. As long as he didn't demote his title when the concubine succeeded him in the future, he would have already given himself face. Someone stopped him with one sentence, Master Jiu.

I didn't examine myself at all, I just thought it was all Fujin's fault. Even after I returned home, I was still angry. I was about to lose my temper, but then I realized that my Fujin had lost weight, dark and thin.

"What's wrong?" Master Jiu lost his anger and became anxious, "Have you called the imperial doctor?"

Find a doctor. I feel better when you are not here.

Jiu Fujin refused to talk to him, "I'm back now." She changed the subject, "Eniang is worried that I won't be able to sleep well."

Then quickly freshen up and go to Fifth Brother's house.

Jiu Fujin pulled him over and said, "I brought E Niang back. It's hot this year, so I put E Niang in the garden to cool off. I was about to go to pick her up for the palace banquet tomorrow."

Only then did Master Jiu know that he was gone, and his family's Fujin actually picked up E Niang. She was dark and thin, and you knew without asking that she was tired from the sun while traveling between the mansion and the garden.

My heart was filled with emotion.

Jiufu Jinxin said that you really think too much. The reason why you are dark and thin is because I am fulfilled by my aunt. I am busy with endless errands every day, from the site selection of the factory to the construction, to the recruitment of workers, to the purchase of raw materials. These are all things.

.You can’t run away day by day. But I’m not happy if I run. The money I will earn in the future will be enough to recruit eight sons-in-law for my own daughter. Of course, that’s not counting the fact that he is busy himself, and he also brought out Shi Fujin.

Shi Fujin was ill. All the bones in his body were rusty. He happened to have such a job. It was just right. He was idle anyway. Why did Jiu Fujin call Shi Fujin? Asking people to contact her natal family.

Tribesmen, I want to buy other people's wool. As much as you want, food, cloth, salt, ironware, whatever.

The two women were in full swing.

As for why I brought my mother-in-law back, it was actually when I went to the Fifth Master’s house that I saw the Fifth Sister-in-law. She was yawning while walking and she was so tired. She must have gotten up early to greet her mother-in-law and had to wait for her to rest in the evening.

Tired. The fifth sister-in-law is not young anymore. She feels very sad to see that! Anyway, her father is not here either. As long as the man is not at home, there will be little room for disputes between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Besides, she is not as honest as the fifth sister-in-law.

, she really served her like that, but no matter how careful she was, the most she could do was fulfill her duty as a daughter-in-law. She didn’t do that. Under the guise of asking her mother-in-law to escape the summer heat, she sent the old concubine directly out of the city.

I went to live in a garden outside the city.

Concubine Yi really thinks this is better. After spending her whole life in the palace, there is only a square sky, and then outside the palace, she sees her children and grandchildren every day, but this son with unshaven beard and wrinkles on his face is also in trouble.

I felt relieved. It was better to go out and see different scenery. So Jiu Fujin didn't have to worry about it. Concubine Yi was enjoying herself in the garden.

It was late at night when I was picked up, so I had to rest without saying much. I had to go to the palace the next day.

As soon as he entered the palace and sat here, Master Jiu felt very angry. Especially when he looked at his fifth brother. You said that you, an honest man, have become cunning no matter how you do things. Look at how you treated your daughter-in-law and my fifth sister-in-law.

The one you raised is white and fat, and look at my wife, who is black and thin. You said that I am not at home as my brother, and you pointed at your brother to take care of her. It turned out that you were good, and you turned your mother to the mother-in-law.

This way, you two are enjoying your happiness. How disappointing are you! I don’t want to give him even a single salted fish of the things I brought back from Jiangnan this time.

The fifth master thought to himself, what is wrong with Lao Jiu? When he came back, his eyes were not eyes and his nose was not a nose. He looked at his old lady with a bit of grievance, but he saw that her eyes were lingering on his body.

, with a bit of surprise and uncertainty.

It's hard to be sure! If I hadn't seen him almost every day, I wouldn't have been able to believe that the fat woman in front of me was my unlucky Fujin. Everyone was in the bitter summer, but this girl, after being nauseous and uncomfortable for a few days, came back to life with full blood.

I saw her sitting and taking a nap every day, but she never missed meals. Fruits and vegetables were welcomed, and chickens, ducks, and fish were eaten without fail. She had a better appetite, and it tasted delicious after eating. Then she fell asleep after eating, and she couldn't even walk without falling asleep.

I can take a nap. What should I do?

There is an imperial doctor in the mansion, please ask the imperial doctor to take a look at it.

Fujin squirted back with one mouthful. Look, he walked me around the house all day long. I don’t have to worry about the old one or the young one. Now that I’ve been worrying about it for half my life, I can’t take a break anymore. Who are you planning to do?

As a slave, it doesn't hurt at all to be used so harshly.

Things like why I work like a cow and a horse for you, why I work hard for you, and why you just want to tire me out are all thrown at me. There is no image at all in playing around.

What can the fifth master say? Okay! If you want to sleep, go to sleep. If the ninth brother and sister want to take over their mother, then they can take over. At the same age as Fujin, she should have been an old lady being served by her daughter-in-law and making grandchildren.

Well, now I have to start from a young daughter-in-law, and I am really tired. So I sent her away without doing much to persuade her to stay.

It didn't take long for Fujin to really feel better. He was eating well, sleeping soundly, and his meat was growing day by day. Even though Fujin still couldn't control his mouth, he had no choice but to move his legs. So it was time to eat.

When it’s time to drink and sleep, after eating well and sleeping well, I’ll walk around the house and exercise all day long.

Look! He has become fat and white from exercise, and he is walking with wind. He bumped into him, and he was able to knock himself back two steps, almost missing his waist.

Thinking like this, he felt guilty when he saw E Niang still looking this way. His daughter-in-law is like this when E Niang is not here. Doesn't this mean that serving E Niang makes his daughter-in-law tired?

Already.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Fujin, who was so fat and virtuous, taking the mooncakes on the table to eat. Maybe she noticed her sight, she turned around and handed the mooncakes over, "Want to try it? Give it a try,

It tastes a little different this year.”

Humph! You go ahead and eat it! Forget it if you get too fat!

He just turned his face to look at his old lady and smiled to please her.

Concubine Yi really wanted to throw the mooncake in her hand at Lao Wu’s head. Laughing at your mother’s heels!

Now that the late emperor is gone, Concubine Yi no longer has to worry about anything. She is very bold and arrogant. It is said that she once took off her shoes and hit Master Jiu. I don’t know if it is true. Anyway, looking at the situation now, I think this statement is credible.

Still higher.

Concubine Yi really has a headache. The fifth couple are now grandparents, but now they can’t tell the difference between being fat and pregnant. Do you think it’s stupid? I want to scold this careless couple to death, but I still have something in my heart.

I really regret it. It would have been better if I had not gone to the garden to escape the summer heat. It was true that I wanted to go, and it was also true that I was considerate of my eldest daughter-in-law and wanted her to have a rest. I didn’t show my pregnancy at that time, I just looked very tired. Who can you say?

I thought that my daughter-in-law, who had not been pregnant for thirty years, was suddenly pregnant.

How annoying! How old are you now? You didn’t know you were pregnant, so you thought you were getting fat and losing weight. Is there such a thing? If you accidentally fell down, you wouldn’t even dare to think about it.

Wu Fujin didn't even have the slightest consciousness of being pregnant. She looked at Ba Fujin, who was also chubby, with a little envy in her eyes. They were already pregnant and fat, so why was she like this? She had a broad heart and a fat body. But when she looked at Ba Fujin, she couldn't even walk.

She asked for help, and I felt really bad for her. Why do you want to give birth to a child at such an old age? She has the same weight, but she can walk without breathing even though she is fat. But Bafujin is so weak that it is difficult to walk. It can be seen that

Giving birth is really stressful. She whispered to Bafujin, who was half a meter across the aisle, "Why didn't you ask for leave? Why are you running around when your body is like this?"

Ba Fujin touched his belly and said, "The Queen has already sent someone to tell me not to go into the palace to raise the fetus. Aren't I bored? There is no one to talk to in the palace all day, and none of you are.

He said he would come to see me and talk to me. It was a rare opportunity to come out and take a breath, so I begged our father to bring me here. I said Sister-in-law Five, you must be like this, right?"

What’s left? There’s meat!

"Is menstruation normal?" Bafujin lowered his voice and asked with concern.

Wu Fujin couldn't explain it. He was already at this age. Menopause is normal. There is nothing strange about not having menstruation.

"What about vomiting and nausea?" Ba Fujin felt that Wu Fujin looked a lot like him.

Yes! But whoever suffers from heat stroke should not feel sick for two days, and it will be fine after that.

"Where's the sleepiness?" Bafujin asked again without giving up.

There are a few people who don't want to sleep at noon in the summer. It's not the same thing at all.

Bafujin touched his stomach and asked, "Don't you feel anything moving in your stomach?"

This has really happened recently. I move occasionally. Isn’t this because I get out of breath after exercising? I just fart when I get out of breath. It’s not easy to talk about it.

Wu Fujin's expression made Ba Fujin dare not ask. If I asked again, she would think she was pregnant and start showing off deliberately.

Lin Yutong paid attention to Wu Fujin, and the Queen Mother also paid attention. The Queen Mother not only paid attention to Wu Fujin, but also to Concubine Yi. When she saw the anxiety in Concubine Yi's eyes, the Queen Mother whispered to Lin Yutong: "What happened to the old Wu family?"

thing?"

Lin Yutong said to her heart that if her belly is there and the way she walks can tell at a glance, she is pregnant.

She whispered to the Queen Mother: "You have been here before. Do you look similar?"

Why are they not similar? It’s just that they are so similar that I can’t make up my mind.

Lin Yutong called and glanced at Dong Xiaowan, who was standing by the side. Dong Xiaowan walked over and spoke to Wu Fujin in a low voice, "...I would like to ask you to go to the palace..."

Wu Fujin didn't waste any time and stood up following Dong Xiaowan's extended hand. Thinking about how busy her nine siblings were, she was always envious. If she was busy, who would care about the monsters and monsters in his house?

As a result, I went to the side hall and ate half a bunch of grapes. I didn't see the queen. Instead, Dong Xiaowan came with a white-bearded imperial doctor.

This imperial doctor looks familiar, he must be the hospital chief. In the past, he could be hired, but now he can't be hired. This person is mainly responsible for the emperor and empress.

Imperial Physician Huang had been idle for a year. The emperor and the empress were in very good health, and there was no place for him to put all his talents to use. Finally, he was summoned, and the person he saw was not the empress but Wufu Jin.

His beard trembled. Why didn't such a big pregnant woman's belly appear in the newspaper? Could it be that she hadn't been diagnosed?

Seeing that the old doctor did not move, Dong Xiaowan said very thoughtfully: "...Wu Fujin is in good health and has a good appetite, but the empress is worried..."

Wu Fujin looked at this and that, and realized later that there might be something wrong with her behavior, "Look! It's not the imperial doctor's negligence..."

Is there something growing in her belly? It's possible. She is very open-minded right now. She has never suffered any sins in her life. Her life must have been unhappy, but she has enjoyed blessings that she never dared to imagine in her life.
To be continued...
