After the fourth elder brother returned home, he went directly to the main courtyard.
This is really a happy event.
Everyone knows that the ninth elder brother is in poor health and may not be able to have children smoothly. If he can add two legitimate children, he will be prepared and safe, and he will be able to rest assured.
"Have you been to Laojiu Mansion? How does Dong E's family look?"
Brother Si entered the house and asked with concern.
Si Fujin was in front of the dressing table. He didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard the noise, he stood up and came over to greet him. He nodded with a smile and said, "I've been there. My brother and sister look fine. The imperial doctor also said that my brother and sister have strong bones and strong pulse..."
The fourth elder brother breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. It's not easy for Lao Jiu. He has been recuperating his body for the past year and just hopes for consummation."
Si Fujin looked at Si Age and hesitated to speak.
She knows the pain of not having a biological child.
Because she is the step-brother and has no biological children, so now the step-son is the head of the family.
Although my wife has a yellow belt, she has been dismissed from the title and cannot support Enie.
So she had planned early on to have a biological child, but luckily, she successfully married Honghui after consummating the marriage.
After having Honghui, she felt at ease.
But maybe it was because Shu Shu kept talking about it, and the thought of Hong Pan, who died at the beginning of the year, was also frightening.
She didn't know why, but she remembered an old saying, "It's difficult to grow a single seedling."
She felt that since she was a nirvana, she couldn't think of such an unlucky word, but she still felt a wave of heart palpitations.
Brother Si noticed that her face had changed and was a little pale, with cold sweat oozing out from her forehead. He reached out to touch her forehead and said worriedly, "Why does your face look so bad? Did you catch a cold during the day?"
It's hot in the house now, but it's cold outside. It's hot and cold at the same time, and it's most likely to catch a cold.
Si Fujin wanted to shake his head and say that he was fine, but when he thought of Shu Shu and Shi Fujin's relaxed appearance, he changed his mind and said with a wry smile: "I was a little scared when I thought of Hong Hao..."
Brother Si's expression froze, and he shook his head and said: "Don't think so much, there is cause and effect. He just settled the cause and effect, and then he left without any restraints."
They say children are debts.
Maybe I owed so much in my previous life, and I just left after collecting the debt. I don't care whether my loved ones are hurt or not. It's hard to be sad.
Si Fujin looked at him, endured his shyness and said, "Master, let's give Honghui another younger brother..."
Brother Si didn't expect Si Fujin, who had always been dignified, to mention this. He was drinking water from a teacup and almost choked.
But seeing Sifu Jin Xiafei's cheeks clearly, it was not easy to say these words, so he endured it, fearing that he would embarrass her if he looked strange, and said in a low voice: "Okay!"

Five Belle Mansion.
Wu Fujin was also struggling with how to mention Hongluo Temple to the fifth elder brother, but he did not wait for the fifth elder brother.
Little Gege felt uncomfortable, so Liu Gege from the side yard sent someone to wait for the fifth elder brother in the front yard.
Wu Fujin sat in front of the lamp, his expression still calm, but his mind became more and more determined.
Still asking for a son.
People's courage grows little by little.
Today is twenty-five.
The fifth and tenth days are the days when the fifth elder brother stays in the main house.
Liu Gege knew what was going on before and would not provoke her.
But today...
If the child was really unwell, how could he dare to delay? He would have reported it to the imperial doctor long ago. There was no need to wait until the fifth elder brother came back in the evening.
There are some things that she can't just step back from.
In the eyes of others, her tolerance will be regarded as lack of confidence and cowardice...

On this day, when the seventh elder brother returned home, it was also sunset.
Before reaching the study, I saw the young eunuch from the main room waiting, saying: "Master, Master Fujin, please come over."
The seventh elder brother nodded and followed into the main courtyard.
Qi Fujin had been waiting for him for a long time. When he saw him coming in, he smiled, stood up, and walked forward diligently, saying: "Thank you for your hard work, I'm going to get my coat..."
The winter moon has not yet entered, so I am wearing a fox fur cloak; when the winter moon comes, I will wear a mink fur cap.
The seventh prince glanced at her and allowed her to serve him.
Qi Fujin smiled and said, "Have you heard about it? Laojiu's family is very happy. My brother and sister are pregnant with twins..."
The seventh elder brother sat by the kang and nodded.
Today in the Hujun Yamen, someone mentioned a few words, remembering that Lao Jiu's errands were generously rewarded, and they were thinking about bringing good news to Lao Jiu when they met him.
He glanced at Qi Fujin and said after careful consideration, "Want to go to Hongluo Temple?"
Qi Fujin nodded generously and said: "I heard that there are not many bamboos in Hongluo Temple, only a few hundred in total. I am really afraid that I will be late and miss the trip!"
She knew about her physical condition and that she would have to rest for two years before she could think about giving birth again. She had a daughter to take care of right now and she didn't have time.
"Maybe I'm greedy. I want to get the good luck of my nine younger siblings. Let's ask for two bamboos to come back and prepare a greenhouse to raise bamboos. In two years, we will have two brothers..."
Before the seventh prince came back, Qi Fujin had already thought a lot and made relevant plans.
Brother Qi looked at her with scrutiny, Qi Fujin looked at him without dodge.
The seventh elder brother lowered his eyes and said: "Okay!"
Qi Fujin had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were red unknowingly...

Ninth Prince's Mansion, Shangfang.
Shu Shu was very happy today. She chatted with some sisters-in-law in the morning and welcomed Eni and her aunt in the afternoon.
Today is still a day to be pampered.
Even though his eyes were gouged out twice and slapped twice by Eni, there were some flaws, but it didn't matter. Ah Mou and his aunt helped him vent his anger.
Enie also learned a lesson and promised not to do anything again in the future.
She had such a fulfilling day that she didn't even know that she had become the wings of a butterfly, which not only affected her ninth brother, but also affected others.
She was in a good mood, and because brother Jiu mentioned hot pot yesterday, she asked someone to prepare the pot.
The custom-made Yuanyang pot is used.
I asked someone to make it in autumn, but I haven't used it yet.
Who said Brother Jiu is a spicy scumbag?
As for the small hot pot for each person, the house has also prepared one, but that one is for entertaining guests, and the couple is too unfamiliar with eating.
In order to match the Yuanyang hot pot, Shu Shu also dug out a Yuanyang pot from the warehouse.
Apple juice on one side and milk tea on the other.
When Brother Jiu came back from the Yamen, he saw Shu Shu in a good mood.
As soon as Brother Jiu thought about it, he understood and said, "Have the sisters-in-law been here?"
I am very popular in Fujin. My sisters-in-law know what is going on here today and they should come to visit.
Shu Shu smiled and nodded: "Enie and my aunt are here this afternoon."
Brother Jiu smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask someone to prepare a few more bags for me. Today, I'll be congratulating me all the way!"
Although he went to the imperial palace yesterday to announce the good news, he was more worried and after a day, he thought about it.
It was Shu Shu who gave birth to the child, not herself. She was physically stronger than him.
Before the child lands on the ground, even if he is worried, he should not show it on his face. He should be responsible.
Otherwise, the panic will affect Shu Shu and she will also become afraid.
Shu Shu smiled and agreed, and then said: "Tomorrow, ask the pastry shop to send some pastries to the Yamen. It's not easy to reward money there."
Brother Jiu said: "Then I will send three copies, one to the guard office, and one to the escort room."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then leave Sun Jin tomorrow and take people to the pastry shop."
Sun Jin followed Brother Jiu into and out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and had the door number to enter and exit the palace.
Brother Jiu said with some distress: "Our pastries are all good, and each pack is quite expensive. It's a pity that it's hard to receive red envelopes now."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's not a loss. Looking back, everyone will know that there is a good pastry shop in Nancheng."
After hearing this, Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "The shop in Di'anmen should be quickly put together. The signboard should be the same as the one in Nancheng, and it should be called 'Baixiangzhai'..."
The names of the restaurant and pastry shop at Qianmen are both named after Shu Shuqi.
She named the restaurant "Baiweiju" after "Qianjinfang".
When they arrived at the pastry shop, Shu Shu didn't want to directly seize the sign of "Daoxiang Village", so she opened "Baixiangzhai".
What Brother Jiu said is that he is going to run his own brand, which is similar to Shu Shu's plan.
She nodded and said: "Okay, when others ask me later, I will also mention it."
Although they are both capital cities, the inner city and the southern city are somewhat incompatible.
In the eyes of the banner people living in the inner city, only Sijiu City is the capital they are familiar with and the capital they can walk around with confidence.
When I arrived in Nancheng, I always felt that it was not my territory.
The scope of daily life is still mainly in the inner city.
After a while, the dinner table was set.
Pots are common, but this is the first time I have seen such a Yin Yang Bagua copper pot.
Brother Jiu glanced at it several times and said hesitantly: "Is this a Yin-Yang pot?"
My side is white, which is Yang?
Shushu's side is red, is it Yin?
It seems quite appropriate...
Shu Shu glanced at him with a smile and said, "This is Yuanyang Hot Pot. I want to eat hot pot with you..."
Brother Jiu couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth.
Yuanyang hot pot...
No wonder it looks so pleasing to the eye.
This name matches the scenery!
He and Fujin are a pair of mandarin ducks, and there will be two little mandarin ducks following him in the future.
Shu Shu held the pot again, poured him a cup of milk tea, and poured herself a cup of apple juice. She said with a smile: "I also found a matching pot, a Yuanyang pot..."
When Brother Jiu saw it, his eyes widened and he asked, "Where did you get this?"
Shu Shu said: "I heard that the dowry was my great-grandmother's dowry. It was left to my great-grandfather at that time. Enie added it to the dowry for me..."
Brother Jiu took the pot and went over, looked inside and outside, his eyes were full of resentment, he looked at Shu Shu and said: "Have you not read the storybook? Since ancient times, this is not a good thing, it is also called 'two-hearted pot'
, they were all used to murder my husband, and my mother-in-law also used them, why did I add this as a dowry..."
Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and said: "That's nonsense. Who doesn't know that Emperor Shizu rewarded Empress Xiaoxian with a nine-piece mandarin duck pot? It's just the same as this one. It's just a mechanical artifact!"
Empress Xiaoxian is the famous Concubine Dong E. She was the imperial concubine during her lifetime and was posthumously named queen after her death. She is also Shu Shu's clan aunt.
Brother Jiu hummed softly and said: "Anyway, from ancient times to the present, no one has done anything good by mentioning this pot. Emperor Taizu is so good, why would he think of giving this to his eldest daughter as a dowry?"
Shu Shu's great-great-grandmother was Princess Wenzhe, the eldest daughter of Taizu.
At that time, after Emperor Taizu raised his army, the Dong'e tribe was the first Jurchen tribe to lead their troops to surrender. Taizu valued He Heli, the leader of the Dong'e tribe, very highly, and married him with a daughter.
Thinking of this origin, Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said, "It couldn't be that Emperor Taizu had given the order at that time, something like 'Everyone can do what he wants, only the father is the only one' or something like that..."
The parties involved have been missing for decades, and the truth has long been lost in history.
Maybe it's as Brother Jiu guessed, who knows...
Shu Shu felt that there was no need to worry about the ancients.
Regardless of what happened during the marriage, and the birth of children later, it can be considered a good beginning and a good ending.
Brother Jiu noticed something was wrong.
He stretched out his fingers to count and muttered something.
When he figured it out, he looked at Shu Shu with a sly smile in his eyes and said: "Princess Wenzhe is my great-aunt and your great-great-grandmother. In this way, I am your cousin..."
He did the math again from Amin Beile's side and said: "Amin Beile is your great-great-grandfather, but he is my great-great-grandfather. In this way, I am your clan uncle..."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He couldn't help but laugh out loud, raised his eyebrows and said: "Niece, niece, please call me, cousin, uncle..."
Shu Shu saw his rampant look and hummed: "Don't just argue with me. When Ming'er sees my Ama, he calls me 'cousin', and when he sees Enie, he calls 'clan sister'. Anyway, you can do it."
On the topic..."
