My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

After the beginning of winter, the weather became colder and colder every day. Because of Lin Shuran's insistence, Chen Jiayu's master and servant had to stay in the General's Mansion to recuperate from his illness. The people in the General's Mansion made excuses and refused.

Maybe it was a change of environment, or maybe it was Lin Shuran's daily enlightenment that helped. Chen Jiayu was able to get out of bed and walk, but occasionally seeing Lin Shuran's swollen belly, there would be inexplicable sadness in her eyes, Lin Shuran let her have a rest Take a stroll in the back garden if you have nothing to do to relieve your boredom.

Nanny Cai and Qiu'er's injuries have also healed a lot. Qiu'er has been able to get up and take care of Chen Jiayu in the past two days.

"Sister Chunxi, I don't need to bother you to deliver meals to my concubine every day. I'm already healed. Let me go to the back kitchen with you to get meals today!" Living in the General's Mansion always felt like causing Lin Shuran a lot of trouble, so after he recovered, he wanted to help out with some things.

Chunxi is also a good talker, knowing that Qiu'er doesn't want to trouble others, she said with a smile: "Okay, you can go with me, you can tell the cook in the back kitchen what your concubine wants to eat, they will all eat it." Can do it!"

"Thank you, Sister Chunxi!" Qiu'er smiled and followed Chunxi to the back kitchen to get food.

When they arrived at the back kitchen, the cooks were almost ready for lunch, and there was still a dish of steamed fish to wait, so Chunxi and Qiu'er first put the prepared meals into a food box that could keep warm.

"The food in the General's Mansion is really delicious. Mama said that I have gained a lot of weight these days!" Qiu'er smelled the fragrance in the back kitchen, took a deep breath and said with a smile, but immediately her face turned melancholy When I woke up, I thought that although Chen Jiayu's health has improved a lot in the past few days, she doesn't have much appetite for food.

Seeing that her mood suddenly became depressed, Chunxi asked suspiciously: "Sister Qiu'er, what's the matter? Is there something in today's meal that your concubine doesn't like?"

Qiu'er took a look at the delicious food, and quickly shook her head. She smiled bitterly and replied, "The food in the General's Mansion is delicious, but my concubine Shizi has no appetite, so I just barely drink some soup and porridge. I don't know where the kitchen is. Is there any pickles in it? Before my concubine Shi Zixi’s favorite food was pickles, and she used it as an appetizer for the concubine Shi Zi when she was in the palace!"

"Appetizers?" Chunxi hurriedly looked at the fat aunt beside her, and then asked, "Fat aunt, is there any pickles in the kitchen?"

The fat aunt quickly shook her head and said, "Miss Chunxi, I don't have any pickles. If you want to eat them, I'll send someone to buy some for you. But these pickles can't be eaten by my wife. I heard from the old people that eating too much pickles is bad for pregnant women." It's not good, especially those pickles that have been pickled for a long time, it's not good for the child in the stomach!"

"It's not that I want to eat, nor does Madam want to eat, but I want to get some to appetize the concubine!" Chunxi first explained to the fat aunt, and then turned to Qiu'er and said, "Sister Qiu'er, these pickles sound delicious." It seems that it is not very good for the body, the imperial concubine is recuperating, why not ask the fat aunt to make a bowl of sour soup with meatballs for the imperial concubine, my lady said that hot and sour food is the most appetizing!"

Qiu'er was startled by what Aunt Fat said just now, she looked at Aunt Fat in some surprise and asked again: "Is pickle really bad for pregnant women?"

The fat aunt nodded and replied: "I heard that it is not very good, but it doesn't matter if you eat some. Women from poor families have no other food to eat when they are pregnant. They all eat some pickles, but the pickles also depend on what they are used for." It is pickled in salt, how long it takes to pickle depends on what kind of dish is pickled, this pregnant woman has the most delicate requirements on food, but she must not be sloppy."

Qiu'er's face changed greatly when she heard what Aunt Fat said, as if she had sensed something, she left Chunxi and the others and rushed out.

Qiu'er directly ran back to the room where Nanny Cai was. Nanny Cai was a bit older and recovering slowly, she was still recuperating on the bed. There was a problem with Chen Jiayu, so she hurriedly asked what was going on.

Qiu'er then told Nanny Cai what she had heard from Aunt Fat in the back kitchen, and said, "Mommy, pickles are what the princess ate the most after she became pregnant, and the chef in the palace of pickled vegetables only said yes. It was specially found for the concubine, and made into a hot, sour, salty and sweet taste, the concubine eats it for three meals a day, do you think that the concubine's children are not born because of eating these pickles?"

Cai Momo was stunned, recalling that Chen Jiayu had a bad appetite at that time, the old prince asked the cooks to find a way to cook some delicious food for Chen Jiayu. Pickled vegetables can make pregnant women eat more. As a result, Chen Jiayu was not so embarrassed when she brought a small dish of pickled wild vegetables, and she ate more. Since then, she will serve a small dish of wild vegetables after every meal. A plate of pickled wild vegetables, the vegetables are crisp, refreshing and delicious, she and Qiu'er have both tasted them.

"You girl, don't think of rain when you see the wind, and don't talk nonsense in front of the concubine, the concubine is already very sad after the child is gone." Madam Cai didn't want Chen Jiayu to think about it.

Qiu'er couldn't help but said: "Nurse, I think there is something wrong with the pickles in the palace!"

"Is there a problem? What's the problem?!" At this moment, Chen Jiayu walked in with a cold face. Cai Momo and Qiu'er were all taken aback when they saw her appear, and Lin Shuran also followed Chen Jiayu, also with a puzzled look on her face. Looking at Qiu'er.

Qiu'er was startled, and hurriedly saluted Chen Jiayu and Lin Shuran with a worried expression on her face.

Lin Shuran didn't expect that she accompanied Chen Jiayu to see Nanny Cai, and she actually heard a conversation between Qiu'er and Nanny Cai. She knew that pickles are not good for pregnant women, but eating less should not be a big problem.

"Qiu'er, what's the problem?" Chen Jiayu and Lin Shuran walked into the room and sat down. Chen Jiayu tried to keep calm, but she already had a bold guess in her heart, which caused a storm to build up in her eyes.

How could Qiu'er dare to hide it, so she told Chen Jiayu and Lin Shuran that when she went to the back kitchen of the palace, she found a woman returning with a pickle jar, saying that it was an appetizer she had just found for the imperial concubine from outside. Xiaocai, a little maid who just bought into the mansion saw the pickled vegetables in the jar, and said that it was very similar to the five elements grass by the river in her hometown, and was severely reprimanded by the woman. Tian Qiu'er never saw that little maid again, and now that she thinks about it, her behavior at that time was a bit too aggressive, as if she had a guilty conscience.

"Five Elements Grass? Qiu'er, are you sure you heard that name?" Lin Shuran frowned with a bad feeling.
