Qi Concubine's Cultivation Notes in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 102

After a snowfall, the weather became gloomy. Although there was no snow, only occasionally the cold wind blew up one or two scattered snowflakes on the eaves, making people unable to help but tighten the fox fur in the wind.Although it didn't snow again until the Chinese New Year, but this snow was enough to make people bear it.

In Li Yunting's room, there was a faint aroma of roasted sweet potatoes. There were several sweet potatoes beside the charcoal basin. Yin Chen held them with a tong, and occasionally turned the sweet potatoes over.

Nanny Wu said that eating sweet potatoes in winter, firstly, there are fewer fruits and vegetables, which can mediate people's stomach, and secondly, sweet potatoes after frost, the mouth is soft and sweet.The weather was too cold, and there were not too many things to do, so Yin Chen sent someone to the small kitchen to fetch sweet potatoes, and only then did the aroma in the room now exist.

"Be careful it's hot." Madam Wu said, "Put it on a plate first, then peel off the skin with your hands and put it in a small cup."

"Hey." Yin Chen nodded, waited for the sweet potatoes to be placed on the plate, cleaned her hands with a handkerchief, carefully peeled off the skin, and finally put it into a small cup.

After the sweet potatoes were peeled, Li Yunting scooped up the red sweet potatoes with a ladle, squinting her eyes slightly, it was really good.Sweet potatoes are not expensive. Poor people roast sweet potatoes on the fire of the stove in winter, which can survive the severe winter.For Li Yunting, it was just to join in the fun.

"How is my baking?" Yin Chen said with a smile.

"Of course it's good." Li Yunting said with a slight smile, "Little greedy cat, hurry up and roast it for yourself. See how greedy you are."

"I'll bake it for the two nuns first." Yin Chen said, "Then it's me and Sister Su Mu's."

Nanny Liu glanced at Yin Chen, then smiled at Yin Chen.

"I want to try Miss Yinchen's handicraft." Nanny Wu said with a smile.She also heard Li Yunting say that when the two maids opened the mansion, they would find a good family to marry and be housekeepers in the mansion.At this time, the words were ambiguous and meaningful.

The smile on Su Mu's face and the teasing in Nanny Wu's tone made Yin Chen's face blush, "I'll bake it for Nanny Liu later, and you guys can do it yourself."

"Little Yinchen is still angry with me." Nanny Wu said with a smile, "I apologize to you." After speaking, she bowed to Yinchen and winked at Yinchen.

During this period of getting along with Liu Mama, she also knew her personality. Seeing them laughing and laughing, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Su Mu laughed and said: "You heard what Yin Chen said, don't you hurry up and hand over your roasted sweet potatoes?!" Even though Yin Chen said this to others, he still roasted sweet potatoes.

"Cian Fujin, you just said that I am a greedy cat. I think this comment is suitable for Sister Su Mu."

Li Yunting looked at everyone and laughed.Beside her is Yuche who is waiting for Hongpan.A long and strong rope was tied on the top of the head, and Hongpan uttered vague syllables, as if he was entertaining himself. After a while, he would often look at Li Yunting, as if to confirm whether his mother was still in his If you are around, if you are hungry or urinated, your brows will be frowned first. At this time, you look very much like Yinzhen. Before you burst into tears, Mammy Liu steps forward to coax: "Let me see, um, the diaper is still dry." Yes, maybe I'm hungry." This mammy was Mammy Liu who was called from Mrs. Song.

When Mammy Liu was transferred here at the beginning, she was still a little uneasy. After all, the Song family was always on guard against Li Yunting, and Mammy Liu got all her impressions of Li Yunting from the Song family.After all, there was Nanny Wu beside Li Yunting, and Nanny Liu made up her mind to be a wooden figure, lest Nanny Wu take the lead in crowding her out, and life would be difficult.

Li Yunting's life here is much more relaxed and faster than that at Song's, and the tense nerves at Song's can be relieved a little.

"Look at the time, it's about the same." Madam Wu said, because she knew that Madam Liu's stay here was limited, and she was a sensible person, so she was not worried. "I'll take Rui Ge'er to the inner room to find a nanny."

Grandma Liu sat down again.It's been a little less than half a month here with Li Yunting, and life is much easier than she imagined.At the same time, she felt relieved, she was worried about Song Shi, and she was a character who tried every means to toss her, and Mammy Liu was afraid that there would be trouble in her hands again.

"Grandma, go ahead, bake it for Grandma Liu now, and save one for you later."

Nanny Wu smiled, because she held Hongpan in her arms, she didn't care to say anything more with Yinchen.

Mrs. Song's life was not easy, and she finally got used to Nanny Liu. At this time, the new Mrs. Zhao was stern and serious. If you raise your body like this, you will definitely not be able to support your body. This servant has read the prescription prescribed by the imperial physician and the things that need to be paid attention to in it. Based on what this servant knows, if you can’t eat meat, you can’t eat it so forcefully and ruin it. Not to mention losing your appetite, it is also bad for your body. Your poor appetite is also because the stomach in your body can’t afford to digest food, so you have to adjust it internally.” This mother Zhao was selected by Li Yunting, using In the name of Yinzhen, he was entrusted by Eunuch Su to the Song family.

There are few people in the palace who are as innocent and innocent as Mrs. Yun. In addition, Li Yunting has also beaten it. Combined with the information obtained earlier, the purpose of Zhao Mama's serving the Song family is to help her keep this place. one child.It stands to reason that if you learn from them, you will gain wisdom. Zhao Mama saw Song's sallow complexion, and after getting in touch with her, she found that her temper was twisted. These are the most common people who are not very smart, but they like to pretend to be smart.So for such a person, Zhao mama chose to go straight to the point.He even prepared to pull the banner of Yinzhen and the side Fujin to suppress the Song family.

"My monthly letter was irregular before." Song Shi said, "The imperial doctor also said that I need to take care of my body, so I will have a child now?" Song Shi didn't take it seriously, because of this pregnancy, she believed even more in the path she took. is correct.

Zhao Nanny twitched the corners of her mouth, and because of this action, there was a half-smile on her normally serious face, which made Mrs. Song frowned, and Zhao Nanny said, "Of course I am assigned to you because I hope you are well, and I am not I count on you to take the medicine, if you refuse even the appetizing food tonic, the servants will show their old face and ask Fujin to hire another nanny."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she was not happy, but she was also worried that it would be troubled by Yinzhen, so she forced a smile and said, "Mother Zhao, I just think that if I eat all kinds of meat and vegetables, the child in my stomach will naturally do the same. I don’t know about diet.”

"The servant can also read a few words, she is not a blind man, and I have seen some prescriptions for food supplements." Zhao Mama said, "Ge Ge try the prescriptions of the servant, these prescriptions are in ancient books It's all recorded."

Zhao Nanny knows that it is better to be simple and straightforward with such people. If going around in circles with them would give them a chance to chatter and entangle, she simply said everything up front, "I knew Gege that you had suffered a loss before you came here. I hope you are safe and sound this time.”

Zhao Nanny and Song Shi talked a lot, unlike Liu Nanny's tone of discussion before, Zhao Nanny's words were sonorous and forceful, decisive, and it was sent in the name of Yinzhen, Song Shi felt depressed She can only think of other methods, such as this ancient recipe for health preservation, which she needs to know.

Under this kind of preaching from Mother Zhao, Mrs. Song was forced to follow what Mother Zhao said and still have ideas. From the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month, her face became plump, although her figure was still a bit thin. Not as sallow and pale as before.Such a time has also passed the first three months of pregnancy.Song didn't dare to relax, the last time something happened after the first three months of her life.

Hongpan is also four months old. Because of the good feeding, his little hands and feet are quite strong. When the first lunar month comes, he will visit the various palaces first, deliver the prepared prayers, and receive visitors in the yard people.More importantly, apart from the upcoming draft, the opening of the fourth brother's house is not far away.The candidate for Yinzhen's concubine Fujin had already been selected before the draft began. It was Wulanara, who was a female official before the imperial court. Kangxi felt that she had a stable temperament. Since Yinzhen calmed down, he paid attention to rules. It is also suitable for people to be together.This idea was revealed to Concubine De.

Concubine De naturally didn't have any ideas, she wanted to play the side drum for Li Yunting.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye." Concubine De said with a smile, "There are still a few days until the draft."

Su Mu's heart skipped a beat when he heard Concubine De's words, this was the biggest matter in the palace during this time, but the girls didn't dare to talk about it, and the topic was all about Rui Ge'er.

Li Yunting said first: "That's right, the fourteenth brother has gone to school in a blink of an eye, and he was only this old when we first met."

Concubine De burst into a smile, "I'm talking about you, you're fine, and it's on Yinzhen's body. Hongpan is six months old, and he's really born well, and he looks like you when he smiles. But today, let's not talk about Xiao Shisi. , I don’t even talk about Brother Hongpan. Let’s just talk about the draft. I still remember when I saw you at the time, I thought someone’s girl was born so juicy.”

Li Yunting smiled, "Er Niang is absurd."

"You child, speak modestly. Speaking of which, your father is..."

"My father's name is Li Wenye." Li Yunting said.

"That's right," Concubine De blinked, "I've also entered the capital, and when the mansion opens, I can walk around."

Li Yunting thought of her father and mother, her expression softened, "Let them meet Hongpan as well."

"It must be very happy." Concubine De said, "I remember you have always had a good relationship with Ming Duan?"

"It's because of some fate with Princess." Li Yunting said.

"They've all grown up. At that time, you met a lot of girls in Beijing, and they're going to be drafted this time." Concubine De said.

Speaking of this, Li Yunting already knew the purpose of today's conversation, so she followed Defei's words and repeated the names of girls from a social circle in Beijing in the past. She has a demure temperament, and it is rare that she has some insight to become a female official, and she is a promising woman.

Li Yunting naturally also talked about the benefits of Ulanara, "When I was a girl, I fell in love with her and often said some poems. She has a calm mind."
