Chapter 1,695 Self-Love (asking for votes at the end of the month)
After the watch, an autumn rain came quietly.
Raindrops fell on the tent, and the sound was extremely clear.
The eldest brother was lying on the bed with his eyes open, unable to sleep.
During the day, he heard Brother Jiu mention his eldest daughter's marriage, and he was really upset.
No matter what, he plans to keep Da Gege for a few more years.
Who said it is now fashionable for clan daughters to marry late?
If you don't want to stay until twenty, you should stay until nineteen. In this way, the candidates for the emperor's consort can be narrowed down.
That's good, as it will give you plenty of time to prepare for marriage.
Dafujin was next to his eldest brother and didn't sleep either.
Going out is often inconvenient, but for couples, it is a good thing.
It rained today and water was inconvenient, but the couple lived peacefully.
A few nights ago, both of them asked for water.
Dafujin quietly put his hand on his lower abdomen and prayed secretly for good news.
Nowadays, according to the clan rules, one son of Prince Duoluo is demoted one level to the title of Duoluo Belle, and the other sons must take the exam for the title.
The second son and other legitimate sons were awarded the title of first-class general in the three examinations.
Dorobele and the first-class general of the state are separated by Gushan Beizi. They are entrusted to the Duke of Zhenguo and assist the Duke of state.
Because the title was first granted from the King of Duoluo County, the group that inherited the title did not surrender until they attacked the Duke of Feng'enfu.
If Shi Feng is a first-class general who controls the country, General Feng En will not surrender until the lowest level of attack is achieved.
They are also the prince's elder brother, but the future of the eldest son and the second son are very different.
No wonder there are so many black-hearted stepmothers in the world. Regardless of their title or wealth, it really tests one's conscience.
Dafujin was in a daze and felt a little cold.
The eldest brother heard something was wrong with her breathing, stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, and said, "It's cold. Is the quilt too thin?"
He was in his prime, and his whole body was steaming like a furnace.
Dafujin's body stiffened at first, then softened, and he felt that his whole body was getting hot.
Before she got married, her parents had repeatedly warned her that as the prince's stepmother, she must be content and accept her fate.
Jin Gui, a descendant of the royal family, is married to the emperor. As long as she treats her elder brother and princess well, she will secure her position as Princess Fujin. If she has other thoughts, not to mention Prince Zhi, even the emperor will not tolerate it.
Don't say that she will not end well when the time comes, and her parents and relatives will be hurt.
Not everyone is qualified to be a black-hearted stepmother.
You should remember your parents’ teachings.
Dafujin pressed against his eldest brother's chest, coveting the tenderness of this moment.
There is a night light in the tent.
In the darkness, the elder brother could feel Dafujin's softness.
The couple, who were originally a little stranger, gradually got used to each other's presence after more than a year of getting along.
The eldest brother hugged his wife and his face softened unconsciously.
Today, the days and years are quiet and peaceful, and there seems to be nothing to fault.
Thinking of his original wife, the eldest brother's eyes get hot.
If he had understood all this earlier and not been so strong, wouldn't it be that Ergenjueluo's life would not have been like walking on thin ice, and he would not have given birth continuously without recuperation?
As expected, there is no regret medicine in this world...
Unlike the gentleness of the elder brother in the tent, the ninth elder brother really felt cold in the tent.
Brother Jiu was in bed and couldn't feel warm, so he couldn't help but sneeze heavily.
He was tossing and turning like a pancake. He Yuzhu, who was on duty on the bench all night, was naturally awake as well.
"Sir, I'm going to the dining room to ask for hot water. Can I fill you up with a hot water bottle?"
He Yuzhu stood up and said.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it in the middle of the night. You are braving the wind and rain..."
Just by hearing the "crash" sound on the tent, I knew it was raining heavily.
This is the residence of the palace, and everyone is aware of the movement. Brother Jiu did not give in, and He Yuzhu obeyed and did not go out.
However, he couldn't lie down peacefully, so he got up, dug out the cloak from the box, and placed it on Brother Jiu's bedding.
Then he poured a cup of warm water on the smoker, handed it to Brother Jiu and said, "Take a few sips to keep yourself warm..."
Brother Jiu got up and drank the water, and said with some worry: "I don't know how Fujin is doing. It's raining, the road is muddy, and the carriage will be bumpy."
He Yuzhu comforted him: "The fifth princess is here. She has the best relationship with Fujin and will take good care of Fujin."
Brother Jiu curled his lips and said, "It would be nice if I don't bother Fujin to take care of her. Where can I take care of others?"
However, Cao Shun is also following him. He is used to traveling far away, so he should make careful arrangements.
Brother Jiu lay down again, his body felt hot and cold, and his throat was a little tight.
He said to He Yuzhu: "Make a cup of red date and ginger tea to prevent it."
It is said to be red date and ginger tea, but in fact there is no tea in it. It is dried red date meat and ginger slices ground into powder, and there is brown sugar in it.
He Yuzhu hurriedly went to brew it.
Brother Jiu said: "It needs to be thicker, otherwise it won't work."
He Yuzhu poured a double portion of the tea ingredients, brewed a cup of dark ginger tea, and handed it to Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu held it in his hand and smelled the pungent smell of ginger. He wrinkled his nose and drank it in one breath.
The water is warm, but because it is thick, it has a spicy taste.
Brother Jiu grinned, and He Yuzhu poured water for him to rinse his mouth, which made him feel better.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, perhaps the ginger powder really stimulated the heat. Brother Jiu felt much more relaxed, yawned, and fell into a deep sleep.
He Yuzhu tiptoed forward, tucked Brother Jiu's quilt tightly, and then returned to his bunk to sleep...
Early the next morning, Fourth Brother came over to visit.
This is because I am worried that the weather will drop suddenly and Brother Jiu will not be able to bear it.
The rain is now getting lighter, but the sky has not cleared up yet, so the Holy Driver will not move today and just stay where he is.
Seeing that the ninth elder brother had put on a quilted vest and was in good spirits, the fourth elder brother felt relieved.
"Haha, I have good things to prevent colds..."
Brother Ninth said proudly: "It's ginger tea. Fourth brother also has a bowl, as a precaution!"
What I drank before going to bed last night was mixed with warm water, and the effect was half.
This morning, He Yuzhu brought boiling water back from the water house in the shop and brewed hot ginger tea, which was even more effective.
Brother Jiu just drank a bowl, and now his forehead is sweating.
The fourth elder brother's body was also of normal shape, and due to the damp and cold rainy weather, his whole body seemed to be rusty. He nodded, took the ginger tea handed to him by He Yuzhu, and drank it one sip after another.
"Know how to take care of yourself, and finally you don't have to worry about others..."
The fourth elder brother drank tea and praised the ninth elder brother happily.
Brother Ninth raised his chin and said: "Who calls me the pillar of my brother? I must be strong and solid. If you don't want to live a long life, you have to be seven to eighty years old!"
The fourth elder brother was noncommittal.
How can we live as we please, whether we are born, old, sick or dead?
Even imperial doctors who specialize in longevity may not be able to live a long life.
Brother Jiu then said: "Just looking at the difference between Uncle Chun Wang's mansion and the other two uncles, you know that this person is more useful than anything else when he is alive. Without him, the family of women and children will not be able to say..."
Brother Si pursed his lips and said, "Why are you talking about this? Don't talk about it."
Ominous!
Brother Ninth said "bah bah" twice and said: "I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."
He stood at the entrance of the tent, looked at the autumn rain outside, counted the days, and sighed: "It's only one day's journey before Fujin and Xiao Jiuer can get to Miyun Palace. It has been newly renovated and the room is warm.
The palace inn is much simpler!"
Brother Si said: "Didn't the palace inn on the way to Mulan Paddock be renovated in thirty-eight years?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "It's just fooling ghosts, it's of no use."
The renovations at that time were just surface polishing, the place where Shengjia stayed was replaced with new bricks and new tiles, and the other side rooms just had their walls painted or wallpapered.
After hearing this, the fourth elder brother thought that the Construction Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the territory of Guo Luoluo's family in the early years. After allocating hundreds of thousands of taels of repair costs every year, he felt that the death of Sanguanbao's family was not unjust...
It was different from what Brother Jiu expected.
Shu Shu and Jiu Gege are currently at the Miyun Palace.
Although Brother Jiu had told Shu Shu to proceed slowly, Shu Shu still made his own arrangements after discussing with Jiu Gege.
Walk sixty miles every day.
Because there are only two families, and the total number of servants, guards, etc. who follow them is less than 200, the movement is more convenient than that of a large army. They can travel sixty miles a day with ease.
Fortunately, when I arrived in Miyun, I lived in a spacious place with a beautiful environment. Being blocked by the rain, I felt comfortable and calm.
Beside her are Gingguo, Xiaotang and Xiaosong.
Xiaosong has changed into women's clothes, but her temper is still lively.
She went back to get married a year ago. According to the rules, she didn't have to go out to work as a errand. She would come back to make up for her errand after giving birth.
It's just that no matter how old she was, she stayed with Shu Shu, acting as a reading companion and playmate. She spent more time with master and servant than with her Ama, and she still came to the main room every now and then.
Both Heishan and Chunlin had errands to do, and they were afraid that Xiaosong would be depressed by herself, so they didn't stop her.
Shu Shu here is even more used to Xiaosong's company, so Xiaosong also came with her when she went out this time.
At this time, Xiao Song came in holding an umbrella and said to Shu Shu: "Rainy days are really suitable for fishing. Just now, Cao Shun went to the fisherman and bought two buckets of fish. Grass carp and crucian carp are getting fat right now, and there is another one."
Black fish can be stewed with tofu..."
She spoke cheerfully, Shu Shu had already passed the time of morning sickness, and her mouth watered as she said: "Don't stew the black fish, cut it into fillets, and use persimmon sauce to make fish fillets in red soup..."
