"Then I will accompany you back to Dutong Mansion in the afternoon?" Brother Ninth asked.
Shu Shu shook her head and said: "No, if I go back at this time, I can't guarantee what I said. Everyone will be worried. We won't talk until the end of the month."
For the first time, Brother Ninth felt that waiting was so unbearable, and said: "On weekdays, I always ask for Ping An's pulse on the third day. If the thirteenth time is not counted, then it will be the twenty-third..."
There are fixed times for taking pulse in the palace.
Like the couple, they invite each other every ten days and arrange them on the third day of the month.
Listening to Brother Jiu's eagerness, Shu Shu moved his arm, looked at him, and said: "No need, less than half a month..."
Brother Jiu reached out his hand, carefully placed it on Shu Shu's belly, and muttered: "I don't have the patience to wait anymore, I still want to know for sure."
Seeing that he was uneasy, Shu Shu calmed down and said, "Then, please accompany me to do some serious things these days!"
"What's the matter?"
Brother Jiu looked at her.
At the moment, is there anything more correct than raising a baby?
Shu Shu smiled and said: "We are moving out. Although the money will still be paid by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future, we have to think about the income. Should the outside properties and businesses be grouped together?"
The two of them lived in the palace before, and there were not enough people on hand to take care of them. Whenever they thought of something, they would give orders here and there, which was rather scattered.
Brother Jiu waved his hand and said: "Those are small things. The most important thing right now is that you are well, eating well, sleeping well, and feeling relaxed. That's really good!"
Although he loves money, he doesn't take it seriously.
He just enjoys making money.
With his status, does he really have to worry about supporting his family?
Shu Shu looked at him and couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "What's the stuffing in the wontons I had for lunch? Why do they look like honey?"
This person is also able to say nice things, which is rare.
Brother Jiu thought for a while and said doubtfully: "It's weird, it's not even an hour, but I can't remember it. All I can think about now is you!"
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth and deliberately said with a straight face: "Do you miss me or my little brother? I told you before that you should put me first..."
Brother Jiu hurriedly took her hand and said: "Do you still need to ask this? What does 'son is valued by mother' mean? The little kid in the belly is 'son is valued by mother'. If he hadn't been born by you, I would have done it."
Too lazy to take care of it..."
Seeing that he was serious, Shu Shu couldn't tease him anymore and said, "Stop talking like that, sir. This is the big treasure that I have been waiting for."
Don't say anything inappropriate, as it may not be good for children to hear.
The couple seemed to have endless things to talk about.
But because Shu Shu's throat was itchy, most of the time it was Brother Jiu who was talking, and Shu Shu just listened.
At the second watch, the couple fell into a deep sleep.
When the couple woke up the next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
Brother Jiu stretched his waist and said, "It's not bad to live like this. Let alone half a month, I won't get tired of it even if I stay here for half a year!"
Shu Shu sat in front of the dressing table and couldn't help but smile.
That is to say.
If I really want to lock him up for half a year, I'm afraid he will be exhausted.
He is obviously a Pig, but he has the impatient temperament of a Monkey.
Brother Jiu calculated the time and said: "Shengjia Maochu set out from the garden, and now he has returned to the palace..."
After two months of northern tour, I will definitely be busy with a lot of official work when I return to the palace.
Brother Jiu happily picked up the tea and took a sip.
This means that those who are able work hard.
Just after having a half-hearted meal, there was a movement outside.
He Yuzhu trotted in and reported: "Master, Fujin, Manager Liang is here..."
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Jiu.
Brother Jiu stood up and said, "Sit tight and I'll go take a look at it!"
Could it be that Khan Amma summoned him?
Are you angry that you came back yesterday?
Brother Ninth felt a little guilty.
When Brother Jiu arrived in the front yard, he saw that besides Liang Jiugong, there were two other people following him.
An old man with white beard and hair, who looked over seventy years old, but with a strong body. Standing half a step behind him was a man who was an imperial physician in his fifties.
This Imperial Physician Jiu Age knew him. It was Imperial Physician Jiang who was in charge of the Ping An Channel of Yikun Palace when Concubine Yi was pregnant.
Huh?
The old man's facial features are somewhat similar to Dr. Jiang's...
Brother Jiu didn't react for a moment, so he looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Shuida, is this what Khan Ama ordered Dr. Jiang to come here?"
Khan Ama's temper is even more impatient than mine.
Liang Jiugong said: "The emperor was worried and couldn't wait any longer. He asked someone to send Dr. Jiang, who had retired, to come into the palace and take Fujin's pulse!"
Doctor Jiang next to him also bowed and said: "My father is good at cutting off pulses..."
Brother Jiu had a surprise. He looked at the old man's eyes and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Come on over!"
A group of people followed Brother Jiu to the main room.
Shu Shu knew the old man's identity and that he was a senior official from the Taiyuan Hospital, so he felt uneasy in his heart.
If we really count it according to the time after the Mid-Autumn Festival, it only takes about twenty days, about three weeks. According to later generations, it takes six weeks to diagnose the pulse.
There should be no slippery veins, right?
It's all the fault of Brother Ninth, who couldn't keep his temper and alerted the emperor.
I'm afraid it's going to be a joke.
She calmed herself down and sat down by the kang.
Xiao Chun took a silk scarf and wanted to cover Shu Shu's wrist.
This is the custom in the palace to ask for safe pulse.
There is no difference between men and women, and if they are separated by a very thin silk scarf, there will be less rhetoric.
Shu Shu said: "No need."
The old lady doctor looked to be over seventy years old, and he was already at an age where there was no need to avoid tabooing between men and women.
Xiao Chun bowed, took the silk scarf and left.
Walnut set up a round stool and the old doctor sat on it. He stretched out his hand and put it on Shu Shu's wrist.
The old man moved his fingers slightly, and his expression became serious.
Brother Jiu sat on the other side of the kang table, holding his breath and concentrating.
Next to him were Liang Jiugong, Xiao Chun, Walnut, He Yuzhu and others, all looking at the old doctor intently.
Everyone was worried.
Looking forward to good results.
After guessing that half a cup of tea had passed, the old doctor withdrew his hand and looked at Dr. Jiang and Liang Jiugong with a strange expression.
When Liang Jiugong saw this, his heart tightened and he hurriedly said: "Old doctor Jiang, Jiu Fujin is..."
Is there something wrong?
The emperor is still waiting. He also plans to be a good news bird and receive a generous reward.
Dr. Jiang nodded and said: "Jiu Fu Jin's pulse flows smoothly, like beads rolling on a disk. It is indeed a slippery pulse. It has been more than half a month..."
It was for this reason that he saw his son before.
Doctors outside may take more than two months to diagnose Hua Mai, but if the imperial physician in the palace does this, then his medical skills will be too weak.
Shu Shu heard the old doctor's words clearly and tightened her handkerchief, feeling surprised and happy.
Fortunately, the dust has settled and we no longer have to wait for the end of the month.
What’s surprising is that if it’s only a month and a half, it would be from the end of leap July to the beginning of August. After that, my own little days will also come, and unlike this time, it will only be a little bit, almost like normal.
Shu Shu is not a person who hides illness and avoids medical treatment. He looked at the old lady and said: "But I kept my period last month as usual. Is this... not good for the fetus?"
The old doctor's eyes were steady, and he said unhurriedly: "Fujin's pulse seems to be strong, and there is nothing wrong with it. There is no need to worry too much about the letter. I also encountered a similar case in the early years. The date of conception is different from the letter."
When the time comes, some people will behave as usual, it's not unusual, Fujin will feel at ease..."
The old man's tone was calm and his expression was soothing.
After hearing this, Shu Shu felt at ease.
It seems that Brother Jiu has been silent.
Shu Shu turned around and looked over, and saw Brother Jiu sitting stupidly, his eyes falling directly on his belly.
Apparently he was so happy!
She had no choice but to look at Xiaochun.
Get ready for the wedding!
Great news!
When Xiao Chun came out with his purse, Brother Jiu jumped off the kang and said excitedly: "I'm going to announce the good news to Khan Ama!"
After that, he ran away quickly.
Seeing this, He Yuzhu hurriedly followed behind.
Liang Jiugong looked at Brother Jiu's back and groaned in his heart, feeling that Brother Jiu was no longer lovable.
How could you steal your own job?!
I had thought well when I came here, and today is the bird that brings good news.
Now, the bird has flown!
Seeing this, Shu Shu looked at Xiao Chun and said, "Bring over the things that Master Jiu left for Shuda."
Xiaochun responded and turned around and entered the back room.
Liang Jiugong was a little surprised when he heard this.
Shu Shu said with a smile: "A while ago, the internal manufacturing office tried to burn some small objects. When I met Mr. Jiu, I agreed to keep them specially for Shuda."
While talking, Xiao Chun took out the brocade box from the inner room and opened it.
Inside is a small gold medal with a diameter of one inch. It is not large in size but extremely delicate. It has two colors of red and blue on the top. The whole is a burnt blue ground. The middle is a burnt red background. It says "Every day makes a fortune", and there is a circle of tiredness on the outside.
Silk red gold ingot.
Liang Jiugong is a close servant of the imperial family, so he naturally knows how valuable this thing is. Now many Mongolian princes are thinking about it and hurriedly said: "Oh, Lord Jiu has accepted your kindness, and this old slave can't stand it."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Shuda, just keep it. This is the fourth furnace. The first three furnaces have been filed away..."
Needless to say, the first furnace is the dragon-marked wrench and the rewards from several princesses.
The second furnace is for various kinds of wishful thinking and various flower cards. This was prepared by the Queen Mother and the concubines and put into the inner treasury. As for how to distribute them, it was the emperor Kangxi who decided.
The third furnace consisted of some wrenches and brands, which were also put into the inner treasury for Kangxi to reward the princes of the clan.
The fourth furnace is a bit complicated, with all kinds of auspicious words, small signs and so on.
Brother Jiu didn't keep any more, only this one.
It was originally an auspicious saying that he liked, but when he got it, he felt it was inappropriate.
With his current status, if he really wears a sign saying "Every day makes a fortune", he will probably be misunderstood by those in the Ministry of Internal Affairs as asking for bribes.
He decided to make the best use of everything and leave it to Liang Jiugong.
That one is also a money-lover.
As for whether Liang Jiugong dares to wear it, that is Liang Jiugong's own business.
After listening to Shu Shu's words, Liang Jiugong knew that this was not a taboo, so he took it with both hands and said with a smile: "Then the slave accepted Master Jiu's reward shamelessly!"
Dr. Jiang and his son were by the side and looked at everything.
It seems that the rumors that Brother Jiu is the "loved son" are not groundless.
Look at the familiarity between this person in front of the emperor and my elder brother, what can be revealed...

Outside Qianqing Palace, Brother Jiu ran like a gust of wind.
