195 Out of filial piety
Xia Bangqiu's guess is right, for Xia Chu, the most important person in this world is Luo Ziqian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even if it is the biological parents and Gu Teng, they have to go to the back row.
But this resentment is only temporary.
Human nature is innate, Luo Ziqian is like this, she is actually enthusiastic and cheerful and enthusiastic, the life of the deep palace has taught her to be vigilant, but it has never worn out her nature.
In her heart, Xia Bangqiu is her granddaughter, and she is worried that her granddaughter's birth will not go well, so it is a matter of course.
Perhaps, Xia Chu felt that he was a more selfish person.
Xia Chu didn't say anything to her after all, she just asked her to recuperate well, don't think about some messy things, and her attitude was the same as before, which also made Xia Bangqiu puzzled, feeling that she might have thought something wrong.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year gradually receded, and Xia Xue and his wife and the Gu family reluctantly left the Xia family.
Mrs. Song and Song Chengzhao stayed in the Xia family, Mrs. Song was reluctant to have a grandson, Song Chengzhao was reluctant to have a wife, and the Xia family was not short of rations for a few people, so they happily decided to keep them.
As soon as Wen got home, she began to prepare for the full moon ceremony, she didn't bring much softness when she washed the three, and the gifts were pulled down from the body, because the national funeral had not passed, it was very pure, and it was inevitable that there would be some rudeness, and when the full moon came, it was natural to make up for it.
At the beginning of the summer, she went to the storeroom, looking for small objects suitable for small babies everywhere.
I suddenly remembered my previous life, every time a child was born in the palace, I had to rack my brains to give gifts, for fear that the gifts would be manipulated...... In fact, even if she doesn't have any hands and feet, what palace concubine dares to wear something given by others to her child?
At most, it was sent in and tightened in the warehouse, and never saw the light of day.
After receiving a letter from General Gu to go home to keep him safe, Wen and Mrs. Gu were relieved, as if saying that it was because there were some problems in the negotiations with Luowangfu over there, and it took time to delay the time, so they could not send the letter home on time, but now it has been resolved...... Xia Chu didn't see the letter, only a few words from Wen's mouth.
But with this few words, it was enough for her to know that the Luo Wangfu and the Gu family were not grasshoppers on a rope.
In fact, I knew it from the beginning, even if they had a good personal relationship, it was impossible for them to be good on the surface, not to mention that the two families had nothing to do with each other, and General Gu was fashionable and had dealings, and since he went, he was even more estranged.
Looking back on the general's past, he was ordered to seize power, how could the Luo Wangfu give it up? There will be no confrontation on the surface, and who knows what kind of situation it is in the dark?
At present, the emperor and General Gu have a slight upper hand.
Xia Chuxin sighed secretly, standing in her own position, she didn't want to stand on the opposite side of the queen. The woman's kindness to her was very clear, and she never had any embarrassment, even at the beginning, her eyes were as clear as the moon, without the slightest evil thought.
She likes Zhao Yanran very much.
But the husband's family and Luo Wangfu had to stand on opposite sides, which made her a little embarrassed.
Because of this position, the emperor is most willing to see.
The so-called close relatives and estranged couples, the most specific fear is the imperial couple. Zhao Yanran is his wife, but she is also his minister, and the word concubine has always been a humble title, not equal.
Faintly, Xia Chu felt that Zhao Yanran was a little like her in her previous life, and on a certain level, they were all the same pathetic.
It's just that her sadness lies in the fact that those pasts have long since passed, and there is no need to remember, but Zhao Yanran, step by step, is moving towards her as she once was.
At the beginning of the summer, there was nothing else to do but watch.
Song Chenxi's full moon banquet was not grand, after all, she was only the grandson of the Xia family, and there were not many guests, and there were only about ten tables in total.
Xia Xue prepared all kinds of small clothes, enough to wear them until he grew up and couldn't wear them, Xia Bangqiu was very happy, she and Xia Chu's female celebrity were not good, sisters in the family, only Xia Xue's female celebrity was the top.
Even if it's not all done by hand, this heart is rare.
Xia Bangqiu lived in her mother's house for two months, and Song Chengzhao hired a carriage and returned home with his wife and children.
The mother and daughter who pushed the person at the beginning have long since disappeared, although they can't find out who is behind the scenes, but they have also circled several suspicious families. Xia Bangqiu had planned to promote out-of-season vegetables, but because of this, he simply told a few close people in advance, but he also told those who knew not to say it for the time being.
As for the few families in the scope of suspicion, they naturally can't get a prescription, including the Wu family.
Xia Bangqiu has an instinctive defense against the Wu family, she doesn't like Wu Qingyun, and the Wu family has never made a good impression on her, so even if she knows that the possibility of this thing being done by the Wu family is very small, she still does it very willfully.
For this matter, Wu's sister-in-law did not come to the door to talk to her.
What can Wu do? His own Zhuangzi listened to Xia Chu's suggestion, and did not follow the trend to grow vegetables, so he didn't ask for any recipe, Xia Xue didn't care about the Zhuang households in Liufu, although the sister-in-law had some ideas, but because the relationship with her younger siblings was not very good, she stubbornly did not ask for it.
She just wants to tell her mother's family, and she has to know it herself!
Of course, if she opened her mouth to speak, Xia Bangqiu would still give it. But the Wu family couldn't pull his son to ask the concubine for things, and he was also a little dissatisfied with his mother's family, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Zhou left angrily, and scolded Xia Bangqiu in his heart!
Therefore, after the beginning of the year to the warm spring season, although the supply of out-of-season vegetables to the market has been alleviated, it has not spread widely.
However, the Sinong Temple has already gotten the news and introduced this fresh practice.
Some people even drew inferences from one case and proposed to grow grain out of season, but several experiments either failed, or the success rate was too low, but the cost was too high, so they had to accept this idea.
However, Xia Bangqiu also managed to attract the attention of someone in Sinong Temple.
This person is Xiao Wu's maiden second brother, Wu Sinong.
As Xia Bangqiu guessed, he is a very upright 'researcher', will not beat around the bush, only interested in planting and cultivating, the success of hybrid rice made him attract the attention of the first emperor, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, although he did not care about farming, but he later proposed the improvement method of rice planting quite effective, the yield of all rice seeds in the experimental field opened up by Sinong Temple has increased by as much as three percent, under the joy of the dragon's heart, once again mentioned his official position, became the great Sinong Temple of Sinong Temple!
Officially entered the ranks of senior officials of the third grade!
But this is an idiot, he has no interest in being a big official, and he is devoted to the field, and even Xiao Wu's maiden family has nothing to do with him...... Obviously, he is already a very popular minister, but he still goes to the field to grow vegetables in person like an old farmer every day, how can he not be congested?
But who made the emperor appreciate a talent like him who was obsessed with "farming"?
Xiao Wu has never said that his second brother is not angry, and he has become a third-grade official if he is not angry, what should I do if I am angry? Although Dasi Nong is not as popular as his father-in-law, Jing Zhao Yinlai, he is also a high-ranking official in Beijing, if he takes the military attache route as before, he may not be as fast as he is now!
Xia Bangqiu is a woman after all, it is impossible to sit down with Wu Sinong to talk about the past and the present, although Wu Sinong is a little stupid, but he is not stupid, and naturally he will not rashly "recognize his relatives", but under the banner of the emperor's interest in out-of-season vegetables, he went to ask some questions, and vaguely confirmed the identity of the other party.
After Song Seungzhao agreed, the two became 'pen pals', of course, exchanging some planting information and nothing else.
"The cost of greenhouse planting is too high, today's farmers are still very poor, oilcloth is expensive and opaque, and plastic film production is not easy, the price is high, it is difficult to promote, and out-of-season vegetables can only be implemented in small quantities and cannot be popularized." Experts are experts, and they pointed out that it was difficult to implement out-of-season vegetables in ancient times, which is why he did not study this.
Xia Bangqiu is just a half-ass, her original intention is even simpler, just to earn money, of course, she doesn't have so many scruples.
"If adults can find good varieties of sweet potatoes and potatoes and corn, they can solve part of the food problem." Xia Bangqiu gave some suggestions based on his years of experience in reading novels, such as Wu Sinong, a professional otaku, I am afraid that he will not read novels, and for her suggestions, he actually feels a little enlightened!
Sweet potatoes have appeared in the Great Jin Dynasty, but the stem is very small, although sweet, the yield is not large, and it is not valuable, if it can be cultivated to produce a good seed, this sweet potato can also be used as food, and it is very good to save the famine, but this thing is not sold at a high price, it is considered a civilian food, Xia Bangqiu has never considered planting, at most it is to buy some back, make some dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato snacks to relieve hunger.
She had heard of potatoes and corn, but she hadn't seen them with her own eyes, indicating that there were, but they were not popular in the Great Jin Dynasty, just like those rare fruits that her grandfather's family had sent at the beginning of summer, because of geographical restrictions, it was difficult to plant, so she had to give up.
Xia Bangqiu is a woman after all, and it is impossible for her to go out to find seeds in person, but Wu Sinong has this ability.
Sure enough, it only took a year for Wu Sinong to get back many crops that were not mainstream in the Great Jin Dynasty, including even coffee trees, and also transplanted many fruit trees, and spent a lot of effort to cultivate.
In order to make her suggestion useful, the emperor of Longxin Dayue also personally gave the plaque of the 'Cultivation and Reading House', which was an unexpected joy.
…… Looking back suddenly, Xia Bangqiu suddenly realized that she had completely embarked on the farming route from the house fighting route?
**
Spring goes to autumn, and it is another two years of cold and summer.
In February, everyone up and down in Beijing took off their plain clothes and put on bright new clothes, and the butchers who went out to find work also picked up their old jobs again, and it was not lively to kill chickens and sheep.
Xia Chu also breathed a sigh of relief, finally Xiao Guo and Luo Zi no longer came to the house to eat, and it could be regarded as letting those small animals on her Zhuangzi live...... It's not okay to go out to buy often, of course, you can only raise it secretly at home, as long as you are careful, there is only one less chicken and duck in ten days and half a month, but no one will find out.
And the one who helped raise these chickens and ducks was naturally Xing'er Lao Tzu Niang, who helped her manage Zhuangzi.
This kind of thing is scary to do at first, but gradually the number of times is increasing, and it is nothing, as long as you are careful, there is nothing in the way...... It's Xia Bangqiu's family, and they did the same.
Xia Bangqiu eased up, and after returning to the Song family, he dismissed the nurse and wanted to feed his son himself. Not only is the mother's colostrum good for the baby's health, after all, the nurse eats vegetarian every day, where is the excess nutrition for the child? After borrowing the 'secret recipe' from Xia Chu's side, Xia Bangqiu decided to breastfeed herself.
Their family has a small population, and there are not even many people, and they are all in the outer courtyard, and after sending back the two maids sent by the Xia family to serve her, there is only one Mama Ji - she naturally won't report to the official for this matter, and she is counting on Xia Bangqiu to support her for the elderly!
Finally, the child is white and fat, and now he can run all over the ground, and he can call people neatly!
Another happy event is that in the autumn of last year, Song Chengzhao was admitted to the lifter, and she is now also a justifiable lifter.
At the beginning of summer, it was very big.
Since she went to filial piety, Old Madam Gu and Wen began to stare at her together...... Look at the belly.
Although she didn't say anything about it because she was afraid of putting pressure on her, how could Xia Chu not feel the uncontrollable glances that came over? In fact, this is understandable, after all, Gu Teng is already twenty-two years old! For a man of this age, if he gets married earlier, his children will be playing soy sauce!
Old Madam Gu is old after all, what's wrong with wanting to hold her great-grandson? The General's Mansion is thin, what is wrong with the Wen family wanting their descendants to prosper?
Obviously longing, but never urging, they are already very tolerant.
It was General Gu, who came back from the north at the end of last year, and sometimes he couldn't help but glance at his daughter-in-law.
Xia Chu thought about it and felt that he was also eighteen, and it was the right age to conceive a child, so he ordered someone to invite a doctor over.
"The princess is in good health and is fine."
Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his body was fine, it was always a matter of time before he had a baby.
She didn't let people look at Gu Teng's body, after all, looking at his appearance, his 'previous life' was only afraid that he had a child, and it didn't make sense that he wouldn't be able to give birth in this life.
Since the body is fine, those tonic prescriptions and birth formulas in the palace will naturally not be used. She has never been a person in urgency, she is a medicine that is poisonous, what is she doing when she has nothing to do with her body?
However, after Xia Bangqiu heard about it, he sent her a letter with a few vegetables written on it, saying that eating more is beneficial to pregnancy. Although she was a little embarrassed at the beginning of the summer, she always had to eat the dishes on weekdays, so it was better to eat them together, so it didn't seem that she was eager - she still wanted to get pregnant sooner after all.
