I guess at noon, lunch was also served at Shu Shu's side.
A fist-sized multigrain rice ball, and the rest is a portion of fried chicken meatballs, a portion of cold lettuce, and a portion of seaweed and egg drop soup.
Because her stomach was heavy, she sat at the table in the west room.
Brother Jiu came back and sat next to her. After seeing these few things, he felt a little unhappy and said: "If I don't look at it, you will fool me again."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "It's just eight plates and eight bowls, and it's only a few bites. Besides, I recently discovered a truth..."
"What's the point?" Brother Jiu asked.
"Three meals a day may not be as good as two meals a day..."
Shu Shu said.
Diseases enter through the mouth, not just from eating something dirty or rotten.
Even if it is a good thing, it is still too much.
She had internal heat and stomach fire before, which was caused by eating meat.
Brother Ninth fell silent.
His mind was a little confused. What did Fujin mean by these words?
He just felt that he could listen to the voice in the past two days, but he was not sure yet.
He didn't disturb Shu Shu's meal, and just stayed with her quietly.
There are eight chicken meatballs, and there are crispy chicken bones inside, so they taste chewy.
The cold lettuce is filled with soaked shrimps and walnuts, which is refreshing and not greasy.
The egg drop in seaweed and egg drop soup is not the kind of scattered egg flakes, but a beaten egg, which is loose but not scattered.
The multigrain rice balls are made from sticky sorghum, millet, brown rice, kidney beans, red dates, etc. They are very chewy when eaten in your mouth.
Shu Shu ate a CD.
I originally ordered the kitchen to prepare the corresponding quantity.
Brother Jiu helped her change rooms, returned to the East Room and sat down. After thinking about it, he still said: "It's frugal to be frugal like this. I'm afraid the servants below will make fun of her."
Shu Shu looked at Brother Jiu and said, "I am very concerned about what you said in the future?"
Brother Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, I just don't want them to say bad things about you."
Xiaochun brought barley tea for digestion. Shushu handed a cup to Brother Jiu and said, "What will other people say about me? Say I am stingy. I only eat meat, vegetables, soup and rice for every meal. I am not like a master."
Brother Jiu nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Isn't that very good? Believe it or not, if it really spreads to the outside world, no matter how many people say something bad about me, no matter whether it is the emperor or the empress, there will only be those who praise me."
Brother Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Yes, yes, it's because you are virtuous, thrifty, and not extravagant."
Frugality and stinginess are not the same thing. Both Khan Amma and the empress knew that Fujin was loose-minded and not stingy.
It is a virtue not to waste money when you have it.
Shu Shu smiled and said: "Our family is not short of money, and we can afford to eat swallow's wings and abalone belly for a meal, but it is not necessary. It is more important to maintain health, and there is no need to be involved in luxury."
Even if her physical foundation is better, who knows what she will look like after giving birth, so she still needs to take care of herself early.
To live a long life, mentality is the supplement, and the body is the foundation.
Brother Jiu stopped trying to persuade him and said, "That's right. If someone from a poor family is afraid of being laughed at by others, they might put on a show, but our family doesn't have to be like that. Just go along with it."
Shu Shu did not speak, but looked at the door and waved her hand.
Xiaochun and Walnut saw this and retreated.
Shu Shu's current situation is that she can't live alone. There are two people in the main house to take care of her, but Brother Jiu is here, and there is nothing for them to watch.
After the two of them went out, Shu Shu took Brother Jiu's hand, looked into his eyes, and said, "Do you want to go with your heart, or follow your heart?"
Brother Jiu was worried and said: "What is Shunxin? What is Suixin?"
Shu Shu didn't answer and asked instead: "Then I have to ask what I care about more, power and wealth, or my parents, brothers, wives and children..."
Brother Jiu wanted to curse and swear, and said: "Don't worry, of course I care about my family more, and I won't get confused and worry about that position!"
The emperor was alone, and it was too cold to live in high places.
Not to mention that in his current situation, if he really wants to miss that chair, even if he faces the brothers in front of him, there will be no brotherhood left, and there will only be life and death.
Khan Amma treated his sons differently. They were divided into two groups since childhood, one before the eighth prince and one after.
These are the people who follow the imperial commander to fight in person, and these are the people who are divided into feudal lords and under banners.
Otherwise, according to the rules, the prince is knighted at the age of fifteen. The year before last, he and Lao Shi were both old enough to be knighted together with that group.
However, Khan Ama refused to seal them, and apparently classified the two brothers as younger brothers.
In his opinion, even if the crown prince's position is unstable, the only ones who can compete are the brothers in the front, and the younger brothers in the back will join in and help.
Shu Shu looked at him and said: "In this world, except for the emperor who can ignore people's faces, even the one in the East Palace often gets sullen."
Brother Jiu said with a guilty conscience: "Do you understand?"
Shu Shu nodded and shook his head and said: "I guessed a few things, but not much. I think I'd better wait for you to tell me."
Brother Ninth drooped his head and said: "I just see that you are not feeling well and you have to prepare an apology gift for Prince Zhuang's Mansion. In addition, you have to worry about me, and I can't stand it when I see that Old Ten wants to be scolded with me."
Already..."
"Part of it was because I couldn't help it, and part of it was intentional. I just wanted to 'kill the chicken and scare the monkey' and deal with that Shigui. Most of the businesses outside our house are profitable, and there are many jealous people. How can I deal with them?"
These little calculations..."
"But when I met Khan Ama, I couldn't bear it. If he hadn't had selfish motives and blocked the titles of me and Lao Shi, making our place a nondescript prince's palace, even the servants outside would not dare to do this..."
"I know I can't bring this up, but I just remembered the days when I was ignored when I was a child. You were no one else, and I wasn't afraid of embarrassment. If you really want to talk about it, at that time, I was no better than my twelfth brother now..."
"Then go there, will you feel happy?" Shu Shu said softly.
"Well, well, that's great!"
Brother Jiu's face lit up when he mentioned this, and he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth, saying: "Khan Ama said he was wrong, that he shouldn't be treated differently, and that he would protect me..."
At this point, he breathed out heavily and said: "I know he is not talking about things that happened when I was a child, but... I am also satisfied and feel that I can turn the page..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "Then this is a good thing today. It's just that we can have fun secretly. We don't need to show it, otherwise it will fall into the eyes of others and look like I am arrogant when I am proud."
Brother Jiu nodded and said: "Well, I stayed at home and copied the "Book of Filial Piety"..."
Having said this, he thought of the "Infinite Life Sutra" and said: "Isn't the Infinite Life Sutra for celebrating birthdays? Then what sutra should be copied for birthday celebrations? In the third month of the month of Khan Ama's Longevity Festival, I plan to take advantage of these days to be at home.
Copy more scriptures..."
Shu Shu thought for a while and said: "The Infinite Life Sutra talks about the great vow of the Infinite Life Buddha. People who copied this sutra mainly did it to eliminate delusions and relieve their sins. This is a book to save themselves..."
Brother Jiu had annoyance on his face and said: "I am embarrassed again. I thought it was for birthday celebrations and said I wanted to copy this for Khan Ama."
Shu Shu smiled and said: "The emperor will not blame me."
Although last year, all the princes who accompanied the Southern Tour were influenced by Buddhism, went to famous temples along the way, and lit lamps and performed meritorious deeds with the Queen Mother, there were no real Buddhists.
Brother Jiu couldn't help but laugh too, and said: "He is unlearned and incompetent, but he didn't accuse me wrongly. Instead, he praised you and asked me to come back and ask you what scriptures you should copy..."
Shu Shu said: "The Diamond Sutra is just fine. It can increase merit and eliminate karma. If you really want to say it, it is also a way to save yourself. However, when copying the sutra, you should pray quietly to pray for the elders. Since Empress Wu Zhou celebrated her mother's birthday
After using this sutra, future generations will often copy the "Diamond Sutra" when wishing their elders birthdays. The meaning may be good, and it may extend life..."
There are several other kinds of scriptures, but they are not as good as this mass.
Copying scriptures is not a simple matter, it requires doing it in one go without any distractions.
Brother Jiu likes to be active rather than quiet, so this book will do the trick.
Brother Jiu also knew some rules about burning incense and said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will fast for three days and then start copying scriptures..."
Shu Shu nodded and said: "I will accompany you."
Brother Jiu hurriedly said: "No, no need."
I have done something wrong and been punished, so I am willing to copy the scriptures. Copying more copies is also because I feel ashamed. In addition to wishing my birthday, it also means doubling my self-punishment.
He doesn't want his wife to "share the pain" with him.
Shu Shu looked down at her belly and said, "I also want to pray for Amma, Enie and Amou..."
If you don't become a householder, you don't know how valuable firewood and rice are; if you don't raise children, you don't know the kindness of your parents.
It’s not easy being a mother in this world.
Father said two things.
Unlike a mother who carries a baby for ten months, the bond with her children is inherently weaker.
The rest depends on the day after tomorrow.
Like my old Ama, who took care of and raised his children personally when he was a child, this father's love is very heavy.
As for Amu, it is not easy to love other people's children as much as one's own.
It was Shu Shu who felt like she couldn't do it.
Let’s not talk about others, let’s just talk about Xiaoqi from the Dutong Mansion, a biological brother from the same mother. When Shu Shu met him, he just loved Wujiwu.
Even before Xiao Qi landed, she felt faintly unhappy, fearing that he would affect Jue Luo's health or cause Jue Luo to suffer from childbirth.
Seeing her like this, Brother Jiu couldn't help but said, "Then just copy the scriptures and forget about fasting. You don't eat alone."
Shu Shu Cong Ruliu, she also felt that the intention is more important than the form...

In the afternoon, news began to spread about Brother Jiu's riot in Qianqing Palace.
Shi Guidu was sent to the clan mansion, so this matter is real.
No matter what the rift between Prince Zhuang and Ninth Brother is, it is the only one who can be so angry that his heart, liver, and lungs will be damaged.
Brother Jiu's nicknames of "Crispy Nine", "Beauty Lamp" and "Nine Donkeys" spread among Shangsanqi and his clan members...
