My father-in-law is Kangxi

Coming out of the abbot's room, Brother Jiu's face was full of joy.

He couldn't wait to find his wife, and immediately saw the fifth elder brother and his wife standing by the release pool with the queen mother.

Brother Nine just reacted, and he hasn't greeted the Queen Mother yet.

Not only he and Shu Shu are going to sneak away, but also the fifth brother and his wife.

"Grandma..."

Brother Nine's voice was warmer than usual.

The queen mother just fed a handful of fish food, when she heard the movement, she turned her head and said, "Why are you alone, didn't you say that you went to find Fujin?"

Brother Nine stepped forward and said, "Didn't you just hear about the spirit of 'asking for a child' at Jingci Temple by the West Lake? My grandson couldn't wait to report to the imperial court."

"Ask for a child?"

The queen mother was a little moved, she couldn't bear to look at Wu Fujin, she just looked at the fifth elder brother and said: "You have no serious errands today, you brothers and sisters-in-law go with you, look at the younger ones, so you can save yourself from being bullied when you go out... ..."

The fifth elder brother glanced at the ninth elder brother, and really wanted to tell the emperor's grandmother that as long as his younger siblings were with him, he would be very relieved.

Wu Fujin was smart and understood that this was the Empress Dowager's sympathy, but he still hesitated.

This is because I am worried that my uncle and Cricket will go out to play, and their husband and wife will be an eyesore.

Brother Jiu didn't think so much, and said directly: "When I heard 'begging for a son', my grandson first thought of my fifth brother. My fifth brother has been married for two full years and has no sons. According to my grandson, I should call him an imperial physician." Take a look, see where the loss is, and make up for it."

It's not easy for him to talk about his sister-in-law, so he only talks about fifth elder brother.

In fact, in his heart, he even thought that Wu Fujin should take a good look at it.

The Imperial Physician in charge of inviting Ping An pulse from the Imperial Hospital is not specialized in gynecology, so it may not be obvious on weekdays.

As long as there is no problem with the couple, rolling around and having a baby is normal.

If you are not pregnant, there is still a problem.

The fifth elder brother pointed at his younger brother, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's a loss, why don't you make up for it!"

No matter how honest a man is, he can't listen to this.

In terms of strength, he is the first among brothers.

The queen mother took it seriously, and felt that Brother Jiu's words made sense.

She looked at the fifth elder brother several times, and hesitated: "Isn't it a little edema, and the eyes are constricted?"

"Hahaha!"

Brother Nine was beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandmother, Fifth Brother is fat, I really should find a big scale to measure it later, at least I am twenty catties fatter than when I left Beijing!"

The queen mother was surprised: "Why are you getting fatter and older?"

The grandparents and grandchildren meet each other every day, but they don't even notice.

If Brother Nine hadn't mentioned it, she would never have guessed that Brother Fifth was fat.

Originally it was a round face, but now it is more like steamed buns.

The fifth elder brother was embarrassed, put his stomach away, and said honestly: "It's getting long, and I'm hungry before going to bed, so I eat pastries, drink noodles, and tea mats."

As a result, I got used to it, and I had to eat it every day, and my appetite grew.

Ninth elder brother showed disgust on his face, and said, "They are all fattening, who is fat if fifth brother is not fat?"

The fifth elder brother said angrily, "This is not fat, this is the weight of a nobleman!"

Brother Nine snorted and said, "I'm making up the words now. I've only heard of 'the nobleman speaks late', but I haven't heard of any weight or weight!"

The fifth elder brother glanced at his wife next to him.

Will I be disliked again?

You used to hate yourself for not being smart, but now you hate yourself for being fat?
Wu Fujin looked as usual.

In fact, she had already mentioned the night food twice before.

It's not that he dislikes that the fifth elder brother will be fat, but that he feels that it is easy to lose weight if he eats and lies down.

Last year on the north tour, Seventh Fujin often pulled Shu Shu and said "lighten oneself", Wu Fujin heard everything and knew it well.

The Queen Mother was worried.

She is also used to eating supper.

If you don't eat when you are hungry, your stomach is empty, and you can't sleep at all.

But eating like this is not only about whether it looks good or not, the key is that riding a horse will become a problem, and the emperor might not like it.

The old lady loves her grandson, and she also knows that the grandson's decency still depends on the emperor.

You suppressed your worries, didn't you mention your diet, you just smiled and said, "Go, go, don't delay."

Although the fifth elder brother didn't think that "seeking a child" had anything to do with him, he obediently brought Wu Fujin along.

When Shi Elder Brother and Shi Shushu were outside, knowing that they could not leave the team, the two of them were overjoyed.

Let alone "begging for a child", begging for anything will do.

As long as there are not so few people together, it will be bad if the densely packed seven weeks are guards or banner soldiers.

Si Ge Ge Rao didn't get any news after that, but seeing Xiao Jia left, there was no trace of resentment in his eyes.

You want to get out too!
On the other hand, Ba Shichang, it's rare that he didn't feel sour, but he felt sympathy when he looked at Xiaojia's back.

That's right, not only Wu Fujin, Shu Shu is also facing the pressure of his heirs.

After a year, she will be considered a new daughter-in-law.

All the way down the road, I went to pray to the Buddha with the former mother, that is to say, I also went to ask for a son.

Poor sight!
Meter.

The guards and carriages are all ready-made.

From Lingyin Temple to Jingci Temple is a total of [-] places. The carriage came out of the mountains and walked along the lake. It took half an hour to arrive at Jingci Temple.

It is the same as Lingyin Temple, here today the holy car came in person, and the temple was closed.

Only there are no flag soldiers, guards, just seeing idlers and so on.

But around Jingci Temple, it was very quiet.

When we arrived at the main gate of the temple, there was no market.

"Flowers, incense candles..."

"Three feet tall fragrance!"

It is a fragrant city.

It is a variety of stalls specially prepared for pilgrims.

On the road in the middle, many women walked in groups of threes and threes, sometimes stopping to look at the small things on the stalls on both sides.

"Palace silk piles of flowers are worn by nobles in the capital..."

There are also peddlers who are giving birth to lotus flowers beside their tongues, recommending small items that women like.

Shi Fujin couldn't hold back for a long time, looked at Wu Fujin and said, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, let's go down and have a look too?"

Wu Fujin didn't answer in a hurry, but lifted the curtains and looked outside.

Maybe it's because several yamen are in Hangzhou, and there is a banner camp here, so there are some women dressed in banners mixed on the road, which doesn't seem so obtrusive.

Others are also used to it, and they don't mean to be rare.

Wu Fujin nodded and asked someone to stop the carriage.

The fifth elder brother and the others had no objection, and felt that the excitement was quite amusing.

But brother Jiu still remembered the matter of burning incense, and said to Shu Shu, "Just take a look, do business first, and go shopping after you come out."

Shu Shu nodded.

She was just watching for fun.

In their line of business, they were well-dressed and followed by guards with swords crossing. It seemed that they were nobles traveling.

It's true that no one ran into them blindly, but the businessmen on both sides were bold and greeted them proactively.

"Did the nobles come to ask for a child, the old woman has a belt of 'All wishes come true'..."

An old lady next to them looked around at the people and rushed to Wu Fujin.

They are all young women, this one looks more dignified and mature.

Wu Fujin was taken aback, looking at the old woman's hands.

It is a red cloth belt, about two feet long, with a wooden branch tied at one end.

The old woman hurriedly sold the silk, "This silk is woven by a woman with both sons and daughters, and the pomegranate wood is tied next to it. Using this to pray for a child is also a good omen..."

Even though Wu Fujin knew that it was a lie of a peddler, he was still moved, and said, "How much?"

The old woman laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and said, "It's cheap, this handful of twelve sticks is only... two hundred dollars..."

Wu Fujin listened, it was indeed cheap, just as he wanted the maid to pay the bill, he heard Brother Jiu sneered and said, "You old woman is so honest in doing business? How dare you ask for two hundred dollars for a total of less than two and a half feet? You This is summer cloth, no matter how thin it is woven, it won’t be able to fill up with silk, and it’s the cheapest, more than a dozen pennies a foot..."

The old lady was not annoyed when she was exposed, she just flattered her and said, "I still have to dye, cut, and fold pomegranate wood, just to earn some hard money."

Brother Jiu snorted softly and said, "Then let's get three!"

What if it works?

Shu Shu watched the whole process, but was also speechless.

These are really ignorant people who don't know that small traders in Hangzhou have a penny in the notebooks of literati in the past dynasties.

Putting profit first, the two words of honesty and honesty are not at all compatible.

So the cloth should be defective cloth soaked in water at the wharf. The looms of this common people can't produce such thin cloth, and the pomegranate wood doesn't know what it is filled with.

It is a crime to use such a belt to seek a child.

Ten Fujin looked puzzled, and asked Shu Shu, "Sister-in-law Jiu, what is this for? Is it to honor the Buddha?"

Shu Shu glanced at the wooden branch and said, "I don't know, I'll know when I enter the temple in a while."

It feels more like a big tree covered in red.

When a group of people passed through Xiangshi and entered the mountain gate of Jingci Temple, there was an osmanthus tree right in front of them.

It should be a hundred-year-old tree, extremely lush, and the crown of the tree is not only overwhelming, but also several feet in radius.

Even if it is not in the flowering period of sweet-scented osmanthus, the greenery is refreshing.

Between the green, there are red belts with different shades of color.

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there was a young woman with small feet, also holding a red ribbon in her hand, looking up at the big tree, showing embarrassment.

The older one next to him urged: "Use your strength, don't use it inappropriately, you won't catch any of them..."

The little woman became more and more anxious, begging for mercy: "Mother-in-law, I don't have much strength in my hands, please take it easy."

The old woman covered her face and said nothing.

Seeing Shu Shu and his party stopped, the old woman raised her eyebrows, wanting someone, and seeing everyone's obedience, she changed her tone and said, "Did the nobles come to invite incense? You must first offer incense and give up the money for the sesame oil." Come here to ask for a child..."

Speaking of this, she saw the red cloth belts in everyone's hands, shook her head and said, "That won't work, Mrs. Zhang fooled the outsiders. If you want it to be effective, you have to ask the descendants who have been consecrated in the temple to wear belts."

After speaking, everyone who spoke looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shu Shu is the calmest.

What is this?
normal.

Almost all temples in later generations have this rule, "no fragrance from outside can enter".

This red cloth belt means neither incense nor the same.

It was because of this that she didn't stop everyone from buying this just now.

Because I know those are useless.

Such gimmicks such as "seeking child trees" are also common in later generations, and they are also the revenue of the temple. How could they be distributed to small merchants outside...
