My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 43 Small print
Yin is the prince born of Guo Guiren. He was born on July 22, the 23nd year of Kangxi. He was the same year as Brother Jiu, one month and three days older than Brother Jiu.

Guo Guiren had a delicate mind. When she was pregnant, she was worried that Concubine Yi would give birth to a princess. She gave birth to a son and would be adopted. She frightened herself to the point where she didn't think about eating and drinking.

Although she gave birth to an elder brother smoothly, there are still some shortcomings.

But don't think about it, Concubine Yi gave birth to the fifth elder brother early, and she doesn't lack a son, so how could she care about adopting her?
Compared with Brother Nine who was born at full term and was alive and kicking, Brother Yin, his half-brother and cousin, looked much weaker, and died of illness after eleven months of care.

Guo Guiren hated Concubine Yi, and thought it was Concubine Yi who made trouble, except for her own son, fearing that Guo Luoluo's family would favor her little prince because of her status as a prostitute.

It's just a fool, Guo Luoluo's family is a coat-coating family, and his father and grandfather didn't have any high-ranking officials, so they were promoted only by the favor of Concubine Yi.

As long as it is the little prince, they are the ones to flatter and flatter, so where is it their turn to pick and choose?
There is also the rule in the palace, the prince and princess have to be carried to Zhaoxiang's place when they land, and they are raised until they are one year old and live with their biological mother or adoptive mother.
However, because he couldn't bear the pain of the prince's death, coupled with his jealousy towards his younger sister, Guo Gui deliberately pretended to be confused and lied to himself.

The second house, the main house.

Shu Shu and Brother Nine have already used it late, and they don't use it much.

Four small dishes, chopped chicken legs, sliced ​​mutton in sauce, braised diced eggplant, vinegared cabbage, served with round-grained rice.

Shu Shu ate a bowl of rice, Brother Jiu remembered what happened last night, he didn't just use the bottom of the bowl as before, and ate a bowl too.

You can't always be weak!

When the two of them rested, Brother Nine's expression became strange, and his expression was a little ferocious.

Shu Shu saw that his face was pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, she was startled: "What's wrong, Master?"

Brother Jiu stroked his abdomen: "Nothing? It's just a little bloated..."

Shu Shu stretched out her hand to touch it, but it was just flatulence, her abdomen was hard, it was because she had eaten too much.

Just one bowl! ?
It's just a whole bowl, so what's the point? !
Shu Shu was very speechless, but she didn't dare to let him suffer like this and go out with her clothes on.

No one was kept on watch in the main room, but the lights in the wing room were still on.

Hearing some movement here, Xiao Chun came out: "Fu Jin..."

"Send a message to the dining room to cook a bowl of thick hawthorn water... If you don't have dried hawthorn, use white radish and cook a bowl of radish soup..."

Shu Shu ordered.

Xiaotang also came out when she heard the commotion, and immediately said: "Young maidservant, let's go now..."

When Shu Shu returned to the room, Brother Jiu had already sat up from the kang, with a embarrassed look on his face: "Just take it easy...what are you bothering..."

Shu Shu didn't answer, but gave him a cup of tea instead.

Brother Jiu saw that she was frowning slightly without smiling, and persuaded: "It's really not a big deal, it's just an old problem..."

Shu Shu frowned even tighter: "There has always been an imperial physician on duty in the palace, and there is a Ping'an pulse every ten days, so I can't see it? Shouldn't it be a long time ago to prescribe a prescription?"

Brother Nine shook his head: "Physician Liu said earlier that Grandpa's stomach and spleen are weak, so he should pay more attention to his daily diet, and eat light and less food...don't worry, Grandma Liu has remembered that she has taken good care of Grandpa all these years. ..."

"It's always been Imperial Doctor Liu? There should be many imperial physicians in Dafang Division, so I didn't invite a few more people to come over to show me? Digestion of the stomach seems to be a minor problem, but when my father is growing up, it's not good to eat or drink. How can I improve my body? Not to mention comparing with other people, even compared with Uncle Ten, my master is half a fist shorter in stature, and I don't look as strong as Uncle Ten..."

Shu Shu seemed to be talking casually.

Brother Nine felt a little nagging at the beginning, but he showed concern, and it was barely pleasing to the ear, but it was only harsh at the end.

What does it mean to be half a fist shorter than the old ten?
How can there be so many?
Up to two and a half fingers!

He can still remember clearly, a few months ago in Beicheng Bingma Division, Shu Shu deliberately wore four-inch high flag shoes and looked down at him.

This woman!

Have you always looked down on him from the bottom of your heart? ?

Think he's short?
Think he is not strong?
Or the prince elder brother that she can really look up to in her heart is the old ten kind?
Taller, stronger and better-born than him? !
Concern is chaos.

Brother Jiu became anxious again, gritted his teeth and said, "Is that why you don't get into your eyes?"

Shu Shu was still wondering if there was anything tricky about this "Prince Liu", otherwise she would become an imperial doctor, and a person with indigestion would not look good?
Isn't that a joke?
After hearing Brother Jiu's words, Shu Shu just felt that he was out of his mind. Turning his head and looking over, he saw Brother Jiu looked like a cat with fried hair, his eyes were wide open, as if he was pressing some grievance, and the corners of his eyes were blurry. Hong, looking pitiful and cute, looks like the golden gradient I raised in my previous life.

Shu Shu only felt that her heart was turning cute, so she poked her head over by a ghost, and kissed the slightly red corner of her eyes.

Brother Jiu's face turned red visible to the naked eye, and he stepped back, wishing he could stick to the wall, so he gave Shu Shu a look: "You...do you still understand the rules..."

But Shu Shu stared straight at Brother Jiu, stared straight at Brother Jiu, and was about to get hairy, then smiled lightly: "Look, who else is in my eyes? Why don't you fall into my eyes?"

Brother Jiu blushed even more, but he was not reconciled to being at a disadvantage, and raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows: "This is also from the book? Even learned the words of the street rogue to moles the little lady? You are really knowledgeable..."

Without making a sound, Shu Shu kicked off her shoes, walked a few steps on the kang, and arrived in front of Brother Jiu.

Brother Nine hurriedly backed away, but leaned against the wall, unable to avoid it.

Shu Shu stretched out her right hand, picked Brother Jiu's chin with her index finger, lowered her voice, and said, "Little beauty, you are so beautiful, go to the uncle's house, the uncle will buy you a flower..."

Brother Jiu was stunned at first, then came to his senses, his face full of embarrassment, he slapped Shu Shu's fingers away, and shouted in a low voice: "Mr. Dong E, you are lawless, right?"

But Shu Shu took Brother Jiu's hand, turned over and lay down on the kang, playing with his fingers while saying, "Shu Shu..."

Brother Nine was confused, but he didn't withdraw his hand, and asked a little confused, "What's Uncle's?"

Shu Shu's eyes narrowed: "My breast name is Shu Shu, which means 'purple' in Manchu...everyone calls me Shu Shu, but don't call me Dong E's... There are thousands of people in the Eight Banners. A Dong E family..."

Brother Jiu snorted softly: "As arrogant as you, there is no second..."

After complaining about this sentence, he still couldn't help muttering "Shu Shu" and "Shu Shu" in a low voice. After saying it twice, he felt that something was wrong: "No, why do you think you are taking advantage of the master? Have you lived with the uncles?"

"Then, Xiaoshu?"

Shu Shu kindly suggested.

Brother Jiu rolled his eyes: "It sounds like uncles, what's the difference?"

Shu Shu was silent for a while, until Brother Jiu was a little worried and looked over, then she described it in the palm of Brother Jiu.

"The word 'Xuan'?"

Brother Jiu asked, "What is this?"

"Even if it's the word my grandfather gave me... how about it?"

Shu Shu said with a smile.

"not good!"

Brother Nine immediately denied: "Since the master chooses the characters for you, naturally the master has the final say, how can there be such a thing as 'reckoning'?"

Brother Jiu thought of a word inexplicably, "waiting in the boudoir".

It seems that the Confucian custom does have this old custom.

When a man gets the crown, the elder gets the characters; when a woman comes out of the pavilion, the husband gets the characters.

Brother Jiu's heart softened.

Shu Shu looked at Brother Nine, saw him looking pensive, and hurriedly added his request: "Master, I hope to live a long life and grow old together with you... This word means longevity, like I think of 'Xuan' or He, Qiao, whatever..."

Brother Jiu looked at Shu Shu, saw her serious expression, obviously she really thought so much, and was touched in his heart, and it was rare that he didn't raise an argument, nodded and said: "I know, I will definitely think of something that is easy to say and has a good meaning Character……"

At this moment, there was movement from time to time.

Xiaotang raised her voice and said: "Fu Jin, the soup is over..."

Shu Shu didn't call to see him right away, the two returned to the edge of the Kang and sat down before calling someone in.

A bowl of dark red soup, with a strong hawthorn flavor, makes the mouth salivate when smelling it.

"Yesterday, among the dry goods that Sun Jin went to the imperial dining room to buy, there happened to be dried hawthorn for stew..."

Xiaotang reported.

Shu Shu picked it up and handed it to Brother Jiu.

The two had just had a quarrel, I don't know if it was because of moving or diverting attention, Brother Jiu felt that his stomach was fine, he didn't want to drink at first, it can be seen that Shu Shu was concerned, so he accepted it honestly.

The hawthorn soup should have been folded in the dining room, it does not burn the mouth, and it is just right to drink.

Brother Jiu was impatient with using the spoon, so he drank half of the bowl in two mouthfuls, and stuffed the remaining half bowl into Shu Shu's hand: "You take two mouthfuls too, so you won't suffer from accumulated food..."

Shu Shu smiled, only feeling relieved.

There is a feeling that children are sensible and will share.

She took it and drank it in small sips. Because of the soup base, it was very thick and a little sticky to the throat.

After Xiaotang took the bowl and went down, the young couple rinsed their mouths again before lying down again.

There was the sound of clappers in the distance, and it was the second watch.

The two were still holding hands, and it was hot, so they didn't press the quilt.

After a while, Brother Jiu said softly: "Ning..."

Shu Shu was distracted for a while and didn't listen carefully: "What did you say?"

"Ning, Shu Ning, the future master calls you Shu Ning..."

Brother Jiu shook his wife's hand and spoke softly.

Shu Shu didn't refute, but there was embarrassment on her face. It's a good word alone, and it's very familiar when you put it together...

*
The next day, the young couple woke up early.

Brother Nine no longer had a stinky face like a few days ago, but a warm face.

The atmosphere was just right, and Shu Shu naturally wouldn't spoil it, and she still sent it outside the door with affectionate eyes.

Elder Brother Ten was already waiting in the front yard with a young eunuch.

"If Madam Liu comes back from vacation, if you feel bored, ask for the key, go to the study in the front yard to open the box, and see if there is anything that can be used and placed, then take it out and use it, it's useless to keep it for nothing..."

Brother Jiu began to worry, and couldn't help but suggest.

Shu Shu smiled and nodded in response: "That's a good relationship, I'll keep it in mind... If you find something good, don't be reluctant..."
