Chapter 427: The Twilight Time (Third update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket)
While chatting, the husband and wife sneaked into Yikun Palace.
Concubine Yi knew that Wu Fujin was entering the palace today and was already waiting for her.
She was wearing a loose robe, her waist was not obvious, but her face became rounder.
Seeing her two daughters-in-law arriving, she invited them to sit in front of her: "Ningshou Palace is busy today, isn't Concubine Rong very proud?"
Yi Fei felt a little sad.
Looking at what I meant before, there was no Concubine Rong on this southern tour. In addition, Concubine Rong must have begged for it.
It's quite shameful.
Wufu Jin was kind and said with a smile: "None of the concubines have ever been on a big ship. Speaking of which, they all yearn for..."
Concubine Yi touched her belly and said with regret: "This time I gave her an advantage. I have never been on a big ship."
Shu Shu comforted him: "Khan Ama is going south to inspect the river construction. Our master said that some river projects are planned. He said that he will have to inspect in two years. Then you can follow him."
She felt slightly nervous.
They say “one pregnancy makes you stupid for three years”, maybe it’s true?!
With Yifei's intelligence, she could guess the real reason why Concubine Rong was on the retinue list just by connecting the events of the past two months with Suo'etu's incident.
But it's normal to not think of it. With the Battle of Ulan Butong as a cover, most people can't imagine that there is something more distant.
After all, there were many taboos in the early years of the Ulan-Butong War, so many people died, and all the surviving generals were punished.
Prince Yu and Prince Gong, who had been highly relied upon before, took over the left leader and left it completely idle.
Now that ten years have passed and liquidation has begun, it seems reasonable.
Who would have thought that this was a cover and the real crime happened more than twenty years ago.
Concubine Yi nodded and sighed: "It's so depressing to be trapped in the Forbidden City. As long as I can go out and have some fun, no matter where I go, it will be good."
As she spoke, she looked at Xianglan.
Pandan went to get two purses.
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "It's rare to have the opportunity to travel far away, and Jiangnan is rich, so I can buy whatever I like..."
After saying that, she took her purse and put one in each of Shu Shu's and Wu Fujin's hands.
Shu Shu looked at Wufu Jin.
In the six months since I got married, I have grown old several times.
She felt a little sorry.
There are not many years for Yifei, but there are many places that need to be rewarded.
Years ago, Shu Shu and the ninth elder brother paid an annual gift to Yikun Palace. However, the fifth elder brother had an example before him. It was not easy to exceed the number, and the filial piety was also counted.
Before and after this year, a month passed, and this filial piety was rewarded as pocket money.
Wu Fujin hesitated and said: "Madam, Master Wu has already prepared the expenses for going out."
Yi Fei smiled and said: "What he prepared is his, and what I gave is mine. Don't be verbose. It's not much. I just want to give you some pocket money."
Wu Fujin did not refuse any more, and only said: "I heard that jade jewelry has become popular in Jiangnan in the past two years, and some people in the capital are already wearing it. If you encounter it, I will ask Master Wu to buy you some..."
After hearing this, Concubine Yi was very interested and said enthusiastically: "When I was born, the emperor gave me a emerald hairpin with filigree dots. It was passed down from the previous court and has not changed color for more than a hundred years.
Is it going to be popular again?”
Shu Shu was nearby, but she thought of the burnt blue jewelry.
The so-called burnt blue jewelry is actually "imitation point jade". After the point jade jewelry became popular, kingfishers were scarce and the market supply exceeded demand, so substitutes appeared.
The emergence of Diancui is a popular trend blowing from the south of the Yangtze River.
Shu Shu didn't agree, but she wouldn't jump out now to protect the kingfisher.
So if we research blue-fired jewelry in advance, will we be able to saturate the mid-range market?
If the proliferation of burnt-blue jewelry makes blue jewelry less rare, will it slow down the world's pursuit of green jewelry?
Concubine Yi became excited and ordered Xianglan to go to the warehouse to look for the hairpin.
After a while, Xianglan came in with a jewelry box containing green hairpins.
When you open it, compared with gold, silver and gems, this emerald color is really bright.
Wu Fujin praised: "No wonder it has become popular again. It is not luxurious but has a simple beauty."
Shu Shu listened, not trying to be clever, but insisting on educating the two about the cruelty behind the beauty of Dian Cui.
Even if Yifei and Wufujin are stopped, the others will not wear this jewelry?
Tortoise jewelry has been popular since ancient times. Everyone knows that it is made from tortoise shells, which has not hindered its enduring popularity.
Seeing that she remained silent for a while, Concubine Yi looked over and said, "What are you thinking about? You don't seem to like this very much?"
Shu Shu smiled shyly and said: "My daughter-in-law is a layman, but she still prefers jewelry with gems, especially red, such as rubies, red corals, onyx and so on!"
Yi Fei smiled and said: "You are still young, but that's not the case. Earlier, like you, I also felt that you were so old-fashioned, so I pressed the bottom of the box..."
Who among young people doesn’t love red?
Yifei also came here when she was young, so she understands Shu Shu's preferences.
However, this little daughter-in-law behaves with restraint. Even though she likes the color red, she does not say that she wears a red flag outfit all day long.
Even if I wore jewel-encrusted jewelry before, it was just one or two embellishments.
It's not like Ba Fu Jin, who wishes he could wear gold and jade jewelry.
As long as you are in front of others, nine times out of ten you will wear a red flag.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, and Concubine Yi kept the two of them for lunch before letting them go out.
Wufu Jin also left the palace through Shenwu Gate.
Shu Shu personally sent it over.
Wu Fujin whispered: "But is there anything wrong with that little jade jewelry?"
Shu Shu likes good colors for things that she thinks are beautiful, and there is no reason why she doesn’t think they are beautiful.
But he didn't even say a word of praise.
Shu Shu whispered: "I only tell my sister-in-law. It's good that she knows. I plan to become a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and do more good deeds on weekdays. If the Bodhisattva opens his eyes and gives a son and a half, it will be me." With Master Jiu's blessing...the jade jewelry is made of kingfisher feathers, and the feathers were drawn alive, which is a bit sinful. I just can't bear it at the moment, and it's hard to spoil the queen's interest..."
Wu Fujin looked ashamed: "I am so ignorant that I don't know that jewelry is made like this."
Nowadays, Dian Cui has not become popular, it is not available to ordinary people, and the production technology has not been spread.
"I'm overthinking it. My sister-in-law has heard about it, so don't worry about it..."
Shu Shu said.
Wufujin hesitated for a moment and said, "Are my brothers and sisters planning to go to Hongluo Temple to invite the Bodhisattva?"
She knew that Shu Shu was her nickname and her origin, so she thought of this.
Shu Shu nodded and said: "When the retinue comes back and is out of service, I plan to go there and invite a Bodhisattva back."
She didn't just deal with it casually, but she really had this plan.
Who called Royal Pop this.
It's good, you can also follow the crowd.
Moreover, believing in Buddhism makes people feel gentle and charitable.
Wu Fujin shook Shu Shu's hand and said with a bit of anxiety, "Then, can I go with my siblings?"
"The First Clan"
Shu Shu immediately said: "Of course you can. Hongluo Temple's vegetarian restaurant is very famous. It just so happens that we can eat together then."
Her request for a child here has an element of drama, Wufujin is probably really anxious.
Shu Shu thought for a while, then leaned into her ear and said: "Sister-in-law, are you sure about the small days on weekdays? Is the interval fixed? On the twenty-sixth, the twenty-eighth, or the thirtieth?"
Wu Fujin's face turned red, obviously he was not used to talking to others about this.
However, she knew that Shu Shu would not let anything go, so she nodded slightly and said: "It's almost fixed, from the 28th to the 30th..."
Shu Shu blinked and said, "'There is a saying in medical books, 'There must be a time when everything in heaven and earth is cloudy; when all things are transformed, there must be a time when pregnancy is happy.' 'Every woman will menstruate once a month, and there will be a day when everything is cloudy."
, within an hour...if you apply it smoothly, the fetus will be born."
Wufujin has never read any medical books, but he still understands the literal meaning.
There was longing in her eyes.
Shu Shu whispered: "Before I got married, I, Ani, told me that the day when the two yins meet is the time of mist. Five days before and after, it is appropriate to seek a child."
Wu Fujin's eyes were red, and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
This kind of secret passed down from mother to daughter, the younger siblings did not hesitate and told her directly.
"I really don't know how to thank you..."
Wu Fujin spoke with a vibrato.
Shu Shu comforted her and said: "My sister-in-law is in good health and my fifth brother has no problems. Then pregnancy will happen sooner or later. I am just the icing on the cake and nothing."
Wufujin said nothing more.
What's the use of empty words of thanks?
She remembered that the fifth elder brother mentioned that he wanted to adopt his son to the ninth elder brother.
After the server is released, you may be able to use this reason to ask for children. It would be great if you can ask for two children...
After sending Wufujin away, Shushu returned to the Second House.
Walnut followed behind, feeling a little worried.
"Fu Jin, what should we do if the manpower is tight?"
Shu Shu sighed and said: "Tell your sister Xiaoyu to dress up more..."
In addition to someone who knows how to comb hair and cook, there must always be someone who can serve you closely.
Xiaotang has to take it with him, so let's find a way from Xiaoyu.
Xiao Chun can comb her hair, but only in simple styles.
Fortunately, Dianzi is here now, which saves a lot of trouble.
Walnut nodded and said: "This is the only way."
Xiaosong could only stay in the palace.
When the time comes to accompany the Queen Mother, you can call the guards on duty whenever you come or go. Although it is not as convenient as having Xiaosong by your side, it can still be dealt with.
Since they are all following the holy team, there shouldn't be any chance to go out privately.
When they arrived at the second institute, Shu Shu called Xiaochun and the others and told them about reducing the number of people accompanying them.
She also told Xiaoyu what she meant: "I brought in a lot of mother-of-pearl pieces just before the year, some full of mother-of-pearl and some half of mother-of-pearl. If you look at the clothes and match them with a few, then it will be easy to wear them."
Xiaoyu agreed.
Shu Shu said: "I'll give you two months' leave then. You can go out of the palace and open up the makeup shop."
At this point, she told Xiaosong: "You can be Xiaoyu's companion, and you don't have to be confined in the palace."
Xiaosong's mouth can hold a bottle of oil: "But I don't worry about Fujin..."
Shu Shu said: "I am in front of the Queen Mother. I am not going anywhere. I am safe and sound."
Xiaosong drooped his head and nodded reluctantly.
As a result, the girls made arrangements, and when the ninth elder brother came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and learned about the matter, he quit.
"No, I have to take the black girl with me, otherwise I won't worry..."
Brother Jiu was very insistent.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "But Concubine Hui's mother said that when you are away from home, there are many people on the boat, so it is more convenient for you to take a eunuch or a nun to run errands than a palace maid."
Xiaotang's position must not be moved.
Shu Shu also wants to take Xiao Chun with her.
Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Five, Sister-in-law Five is also on the Queen Mother's ship. Then there is no need to bring a eunuch. If you need someone to run errands, just use Sister-in-law Five's eunuch."
Shu Shu felt it was inappropriate and said: "I should live next to Jiu Gege, far away from Fifth Sister-in-law and the others..."
She and the fifth elder brother have a relationship that needs to be avoided. They must be farther apart to avoid inconvenience in the cramped boat.
Brother Jiu immediately said: "Wouldn't that make things easier? Just call Xiao Jiu's eunuch..."
