Chapter 205: The Beatitudes are pregnant
The earth dragon in the house was not broken all night, warm, and Hongming's little face was flushed like two red apples.
I kissed him on the cheek and asked, "What's wrong with that?" Does your stomach still hurt? Hongming smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore." I saw that he had a fever and was in good spirits, so I put down the big stone in my heart and said, "What kind of snacks do you want to eat for breakfast?" Hongming thought for a while and said happily: "I want to eat the cake made by Eniang." I was stunned, I was so surprised, I had never heard of this cake, I had never seen it, why did Hongming say it, the situation appeared in his mind?
Hongming thought I was unhappy, and said in a long voice: "Since Eniang went to Gansu, I haven't eaten cake again." He had a milky voice, and he knew that he was going to coerce people, and said: "I really want to eat it, I haven't eaten cake for a long time, and I drool about it." I couldn't resist him, so I had to say: "Okay, okay, you can sleep for a while, E-Niang will get up and make you a cake first." You wake up and you'll have cake to eat, okay? Hongming hurriedly closed his eyes, pulled the brocade quilt to cover his head, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay." "Minqiu heard our mother and son talking on the side, and knew that I was going to get up, so she gestured to the girl, and the girl understood, and tiptoed out to let the grandmothers bring hot water and towels to serve.
I freshened up and dressed up, and led Minqiu into the kitchenette. Lao Li Zi in the kitchen was preparing breakfast, and four or five large long tables were placed under the window, on which steamed, boiled, fried, cold salad, pastries, soup, hot pot, noodles and so on were all available.
Look at the freezer still frozen chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish piled up in crushed ice, and there are lamb legs, beef legs, pork and so on hanging under the eaves.
I hadn't been in the kitchen for several months, and Lao Li Zi was busy leading the apprentices, the grandmother who burned the fire, and the girls and eunuchs who cut and washed vegetables to come forward to give me a big salute.
I accepted the salute, ordered them to get up, and asked Lao Lizi, "Do you know how to make cakes?" Lao Li Zi nodded, smiled with a wrinkled face, and said: "The slave has learned from the master before, and he can do it, but it doesn't taste as good as the master." I said, "I don't remember how I did it before, so it's up to you to teach me now." Lao Li Zi made a swing and said, "The slave obeys." After that, he began to teach me how to make cakes in a steamer.
The people in the kitchen were no stranger to the strange snacks I made, and they were all quick with their hands and feet, and within half an hour they had made two baskets of golden buttery cakes.
Lao Li Zi got a jar of rose dew out of nowhere, and smeared a thick layer on the cake, rose red against tender yellow, coupled with the rich and thick cake fragrance, it is really mouth-watering.
Just entered the flower hall, Hongming smelled the smell, ran out with his shoes, and a few grandmothers took hats and cotton robes, and chased after them in a hurry, making chickens and dogs jump.
Although the earth dragon was also burned outside, it was not warmer than the bedroom after all, Hongming jumped on the bench and lay on the table to take a spoon to eat, but before he reached out his hand, he was hugged by the person behind him and threw it on the kang.
Fourteen said with a face: "There are no rules at all, for the sake of your illness, Ama will spare you once, don't you take it as an example, you know?" "Hongming is also a little obedient when he is fourteen, and he makes a fuss when he is not fourteen, he only thinks that fourteen has entered the palace, and I spoil him again, and the grandmothers can't do anything about him, so he is a little arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't look at anyone in his eyes.
But where would he have thought that Fourteen would fall from the sky and catch him to appear. I took the shirt from my grandmother's hand and said, "Come, come and dress." Hiroaki rolled into my arms at once, put his hands around my neck, and looked at Fourteen carefully.
After dressing him up, I carried him off the kang and led him to sit at the dining table, and then asked Fourteen, "Didn't you go to the palace?" The girls went into the house to set up a meal, and Min Qiu Fu said, "Do you want to taste the cake made by Fujin?" I made it new in the morning, and it tasted just right. Fourteen nodded, motioned to Minqiu to swing the chopsticks, and said to me: "I went to the palace to greet Huang Amma, sat in the household department for a while, and bumped into someone from the starling mansion who came to spread the good news" I was interested, and said: "What good news?" Fourteen glanced at me with a smile, and said: "But you were blinded" After a pause, he said: "I got the news in the morning, saying that the eighth sister-in-law is pregnant, and it has been almost two months, and it is not that you showed her the way and set up an incense altar in the house" said and called outside: "Zhang Fangfang!" Zhang Fangfang answered under the corridor, lifted the curtain and entered, holding a delicate small box of vermilion lacquered sandalwood decorated with plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum patterns in his hand, and bowed down to present the fourteenth.
Fourteen unscrewed the hidden button, opened the small lid, and a stream of light flashed through, I raised my eyes to look inside, and wondered: "Pearl? Fourteen Dao: "This is not an ordinary pearl, they are all East pearls from the Ussuri River, one is worth two white taels, the eighth sister-in-law wants to thank you, and asked the starling to stuff it to me." "I secretly counted in my heart, and most of the boxes had twenty or thirty pinched fingers, which was two or three thousand taels, which was really generous.
I couldn't take my eyes off the pearl and said, "Why did you accept it if you didn't have any merit?" I'm all," Fourteen smiled and said, "Now I know it's going to be in trouble!" He also said: "I also made it clear to the starling, but he was happy in his heart, and he borrowed your auspicious words, so he had to give it to me." Hongming saw that the two of us were just talking, and he didn't dare to eat first before he didn't move his chopsticks at Fourteen, so he looked at the cake and drooled silently, and finally couldn't help it, and quietly pulled my sleeve behind him.
I glanced back at him, and for some reason, I still talked to Fourteen, and said, "This gift must be returned." Fourteen Dao: "I have already thought about it for you, use this East bead to string on the brocade forging coat and hat, and then the eighth sister-in-law gave birth to a child, as a congratulatory gift" I didn't listen to him, and someone behind me pulled me, I turned my brain, only to see Hongming half-open mouth, a trace of saliva on his lips, eyes full of tears, and I was about to cry.
I anxiously asked, "What's wrong?" Hongming's two eyebrows furrowed, his angry expression was really exactly the same as Fourteen, and he said with a crying voice: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat cake." I was amused by him and said with a smile: "Oh, look at your little face, you can eat first, I'll say a few words to Amma." Hongming didn't dare, looked at Fourteen cautiously, and said, "Amma, can I eat first?" Fourteen snorted and said: "You just got rid of the fever, eat more light food, although the cake tastes good, but you should not eat too much, you are a prince, you should know the truth of diet and health, do you know?" Hongming couldn't hold it anymore, so he scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth before he said vaguely: "Got it." "It's really a big truth when there is an opportunity, it is worthy of the news that the eight lucky jins who were raised by Kangxi soon spread throughout the capital, and the people who gave gifts to the Eight Masters Mansion for a while were endless, and there were also batches of internal and external women, and Mrs. Decree personally visited the house to say auspicious words.
Bafujin has a pungent temperament, and likes to listen to flattering and festive words, so he talks about this pregnancy with the visitor on the couch every day.
According to her words, it was I who learned the art of divination from the master, and I was able to understand the past and the future, and pointed out a clear path for her in the gossip.
The wives listened to this, and when they returned home, in order to show off their face in front of the Beatitudes in front of their clansmen, they added fuel and vinegar to tell me about it.
So I became the legendary legend who went to Gansu to find the fourteenth master, encountered gangsters on the road, would rather die than give in, fell from the mountain, and then was rescued by the masters, and learned the art of divination and astrology.
Concubine De has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I don't know about it, she believes in Buddhism, people are extremely superstitious, and when she heard Sifu Jin say, she looked at me with glowing eyes, and said: "What the fourth daughter-in-law said is true?" I shook my head and said, "Eniang, actually" I opened my mouth to explain, but where to start?
said that I went to the Eight Masters Mansion purely to joke with Ba Fu Jin, and that she was pregnant, I didn't say anything at all, and the altar was all set up by Ba Fu Jin herself, and Concubine De pricked up her ears to listen to me, but I was speechless for a while.
Sifu Jin's face was full of expectations, and he said, "Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" "She also wants to get pregnant, after Honghui died, she has lost her position in the heart of the fourth master, and then gave birth to Ergege, who is frail and sickly, and has been taking decoction for most of the year.
If there is any way for her to give birth to a healthy son-in-law, let alone setting an altar to burn incense, and making her kowtow and bow every day, she is willing, so she continued: "You can make Bafujin pregnant, can you also help me?" Concubine De also said: "The fourth daughter-in-law is not young, how can she only have two squares under her knees." I sneered and said: "Actually, I don't" As I was talking, a voice came outside: "The emperor has arrived" Kangxi has not entered Yonghe Palace for several months, Concubine De was very happy, and helped her grandmother to walk out quickly.
I also hurriedly stopped talking, and followed Concubine De with Sifujin, standing on the platform and waiting for the ride. Kangxi is old, and in the wind and snow, he came slowly in a warm sedan chair.
He was in a very good mood, got off the sedan chair at Yonghe Gate, and smiled from afar: "I'm afraid that this snow will fall until next year." Concubine De didn't want the sedan chair to stop at the gate of the palace, so she was busy stepping on the flower pot shoes and almost ran over, and said: "The concubine has seen the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an." Kangxi stretched out his hand to support him and said, "No courtesy." "After I lost my memory, this is the first time I have seen Kangxi so closely, and I can't help but look up carefully.
He was dressed in a dark dragon pattern robe, without a crown of hair, and his spirit was shining, but he was extremely energetic, but his hair was stained with gray and white in his braids, and he looked a little old.
He walked forward, and behind him were a group of palace maids and eunuchs, majestic and majestic, dominating the world. Concubine De smiled: "The concubine is about to go to the Qianqing Palace to visit the emperor." Kangxi said softly: "I came by coincidence. After entering the house, everyone sat down in order, Kangxi suddenly glanced at me and said, "Is the fourteenth daughter-in-law's illness cured?" ”...
