347 Chicken skin soup with sour bamboo shoots
Lily was pregnant again, and the servants from the emperor to the palace of the king of Xin were all happy, and Princess Zhou specially rewarded each person with two months of money, just to accumulate blessings for the child.
Empress Zhang and Princess Zhou both believe in Buddhism, although they don't believe in it, they seek peace and auspiciousness in the end, so they ordered the palace ladies under their hands to choose Buddha beans to give alms, and the princess and others also followed suit.
However, Princess Changping and Lord Zhaoren did not believe in Buddhism, and when they saw Lily, they didn't believe it, so they said with a smile: "It's not a family, don't enter a family." ”
When Lily and her sister-in-law talked about the fake monk in Dongshan Temple, Zhaoren stuck out his tongue: "There are such bad people in the world! If the Buddha has a spirit, they should all be sent to hell! Princess Changping knew more, and sighed: "Thanks to your cleverness, I was in charge of the forbidden army for a few years, and I had a lot of contacts with Jinyiwei, seeing their correspondence, the temple nunnery is the most first-class place to hide dirt and dirt, and every year Jinyiwei and local people just want to check the demon monks and nuns, I don't know how much."
。 In order to make the demon monk stunned and lose her virginity, hundreds of people hang themselves and throw themselves into the river every year!"
Zhaoren said angrily: "This kind of demon should be cut with a thousand knives!" Princess Changping said with a smile: "Not to mention a thousand knives, but if you catch it, you will either be sent to Nanyang to do hard labor or sent to the coal kiln." You said, where did we come from, where did we come from, when we all burned coal in the Ming Dynasty? Nanyang is in good shape now, but at that time, there were local feudal clans making trouble every day, and they didn't dare to deal with us
The Ming army attacked, only at those death row prisoners who were doing hard labor. ”
Once the success of ten thousand bones is dry, the Ming Dynasty opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and built immortal feats in the corpse mountain and sea of blood.
Lily smiled: "I didn't understand these things, so I thought, if the immortal Buddha has a spirit, I will give him a pillar of incense, and I will ask for many things, and he may not be able to answer me." It's better not to believe it, everyone is clean!"
Zhaoren clapped his hands and said, "This makes sense, I'll go and ask the concubine." ”
Lily hurriedly stopped her: "This is just a little bit of my thoughts, and the mother concubine doesn't necessarily believe in gods and Buddhas, but if you want to have peace of mind, what do you want to poke her?"
Originally, Empress Zhang and Princess Zhou didn't believe in these, but since all the children born to Empress Zhang died, she believed in the words of Buddhism and recited the mantra forty-nine times a day.
Princess Zhou thought that after Zhu Cixuan died young, she lit an ever-bright lamp in the temple and asked a Taoist priest to do a supernatural ritual, just to seek peace of mind, so as not to be torn apart by the pain of losing a child.
"Brother and sister are right, you don't mess around. Changping spoke, and Zhaoren didn't dare not listen.
Lily then said something else: "When will the eldest sister's female school go to Nanzhili? In our Qingliu Town, there are also some clever girls, who are not allowed to enter the school, and they follow their mother to learn tailoring and cooking in their teens, and there are also people who marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen." ”
How smart Xing'er and Lily are when they learn arithmetic and literacy, they are not much worse than the good students that Lily has taught in their previous lives, and if you want to say that Lily is better than ordinary village women, it is the benefit of her reading and literacy, and she thinks that reading is better than not reading.
Princess Changping said: "It's soon, or it won't be able to drive there in a few years, and Brother Xuan will need to take care of it nearby." If you give birth to a daughter in the future, you will have to send her to a girls' school. ”
Lily looked at the sky and said: "If there is that day, it is really good!"
Xing'er is afraid that she won't be able to wait for the day when the girls' school will open to Taiping County, but there is still hope for Yuanyuan and Tingyu.
Zhaoren looked at Lily's belly and said, "I heard that people say that a round belly gives birth to a daughter, a belly gives birth to a son, and the second sister-in-law, are you sharp or round?"
Lily looked down: "Now I haven't shown my arms, where can I see it?" Besides, that is not accurate, before I was born as a real person, everyone said that it was like a girl. ”
Changping suddenly said: "You are pregnant, and my mother is the happiest." Princess Zhou was really happier than others, and she muttered to King Xin late and bit her ears: "Brother Xuan'er's strange temper, I didn't even say that I couldn't move him." But there is one thing, his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and it is always difficult to hurry, waiting for Brother Xuan's daughter-in-law to give birth, and it is winter, waiting for the child
The son is old enough to walk long distances, and two or three years are enough. ”
Two or three years, is not enough Brother Xuan to treat the capital as his own home? The more Princess Zhou thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't wait for Lily's belly to immediately swell.
She didn't know that Song Haonian and his wife had already planned: "I didn't dare to move when the moon was shallow, and when Brother Can got married, it happened to be four or five months old, and I just went back to the countryside." At that time, the capital gradually warmed up, but Qingliu Town was cooler. ”
Although Taiping County is closer to the south than the capital, Qingliu Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are countless willow trees in the previous year to shade it, and ice is never used in summer, which is much cooler than the dry and sultry Beijing.
Song Haonian also said: "If it weren't for the different identities of my father and mother, I would still want to take them to the town for the elderly." ”
Lily thought about the moist climate of her hometown, "You go to tell your father, the queen and the princess that if they are impatient in the capital one day, they simply go to the town to relax." ”
That being said, both of them knew that the road was far away, and King Xin and the princess were afraid that they would not go to Taiping County in the future, and they were young enough to come to the capital every year to visit their parents.
Since Lily became pregnant, the taste has become strange, today to eat sour, tomorrow to eat spicy, thanks to the rich materials of the palace, only what she can't think of, there is nothing she can't eat.
On this day, I suddenly wanted to eat sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup, and when I thought of this name, I swallowed and salivaed: this sour bamboo shoot chicken skin soup can be regarded as a rich dish, ordinary farmers, who is willing to use the chicken skin of several chickens to match it?
Song Haonian was about to give an order, but Lily said again: "You don't need them to do it, just send the sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin, and I will cook and eat it myself." ”
This soup is not difficult to make, it is rare to use good ingredients, sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin are cooked in the broth, and the thick white soup, light yellow sour bamboo shoots and tender raw chicken skin are cooked.
This chicken is still a free-range chicken sent from the Huangzhuang, the skin is smooth and firm, full of elasticity, fat but not greasy.
The bamboo shoots are sour and spicy and appetizing, and the lilies are soaked in rice in soup, and you can eat two small bowls. After dinner, he walked on the stone road in the yard to eat, and followed his mother like a small leather ball, just thinking about rushing forward.
Without paying attention, Lily stopped, hit her head on her calf as if she was really caught off guard, and the whole person fell backwards and sat on the ground.
"Ouch," Lily hurriedly squatted down to see if it was true, "Does it hurt?"
If you really don't mean to cry at all, haha Zhile, stretch out her little fat hand to pat Lily's knee, get up and drag the corner of Lily's skirt and walk forward.
Lily smiled and said to her son, "Where is the real little nose?"
Ruzhen was taught early, reached out and touched his nose, Lily bowed her head and kissed him, and asked, "Where are Ruzhen's ears?"
If he was really stunned, he pointed to his mouth first, but he didn't see his mother reacting, so he pointed to his ear, and Lily praised him: "If it's really smart!" The mother and son had a lot of fun.
There are no stupid people in the emperor and the king of letters, if his father is really born smart, Lily is not bad in terms of sensitivity, and if he really inherits the intelligence of his father, he is already smart and well-behaved. In addition, Lily has studied a little education in her last life, she is naturally attentive to her son, and teaches her little by little, if it is true, it is very smart and lovely, even Princess Zhou said: "If it is true, people don't know how to hurt him, if you want to go back to the countryside, and leave Ruzhen to accompany me."
Lily was naturally reluctant, but she couldn't talk directly to Princess Zhou, so she had to grind Song Haonian to intercede. Song Haonian knew that Princess Zhou just said: "If you are really how old you are, where can you leave your father and mother?" You're now
What the is that?"
Lily was still uneasy: "Originally, the two of us only had one son, and the mother concubine naturally couldn't bear to separate him from us, but I still have one in my belly, and I am afraid that the mother concubine will really keep him." ”
Song Haonian couldn't cry or laugh, his daughter-in-law was suspicious as soon as she was pregnant, and she was more timid than usual, he had no choice but to go and say to the princess: "We will take Ruzhen back to the countryside, and when he grows up, he will be sent to his mother to fulfill his filial piety." ”
Princess Zhou regretted it and agreed, and asked him again: "The prince asked you, how do you plan to do the real enlightenment?"
Song Haonian was dumbfounded: "How old is he!"
The doll who is only two years old is not clear, and the road is unstable, how to mention enlightenment.
The princess said: "It's not a prince yet, it's a pity that you dropped out of school when you were young, and you must make up for it on Ruzhen, and don't allow him to follow in your footsteps." ”
Song Haonian really didn't know what to say, so he said after a while: "Then you have to wait until he is three or four years old, and look at him like this now, teach him where his ears are today, and forget them tomorrow, where can he enlighten and read?"
The king is not used to taking children, and he really doesn't know how to raise these children, but the princess still knows: "I just ask you a word for the prince, and you don't listen to the prince's nonsense." In the future, even if he really goes to school, you should not coerce him, so that he can learn whatever he likes. ”
The princess was strict with her sons' studies, but she was particularly doting on her grandsons.
Song Haonian smiled and agreed, he didn't worry about his father and mother doting on his grandson, anyway, his daughter-in-law also valued her studies, and she was afraid that she would be stricter than the princess.
Song Haonian sometimes thinks about Lily urging him to read and write, and he can't help but laugh: If it weren't for his daughter-in-law urging him to hurry up, he would have become his own son, where would he be willing to learn from those Laoshzi?
When he followed the prince to worship the sky, he realized that literacy was important, he could write letters to his daughter-in-law, read letters written by his daughter-in-law, and he was more tired than anything else on the road.
Princess Xin originally seized the opportunity to hint that Song Haonian would stay in Beijing for a few more days, but who knew that he didn't know what to think by himself, so he laughed alone.
The princess said: "You kid, can't you have a magic obstacle?" Song Haonian woke up at this time: "Mother, don't blame me, since I beat my daughter-in-law and became pregnant, I can't suppress the joy in my heart, just sit there, I can't stop laughing." ”
