Chapter 315(1/2)
The old five and six who are looking for trouble everywhere (1)
In late November, Song Qingyue was still struggling with morning sickness.
She used to be such a fish lover, but now she can't smell the smell of fish at all. She can't even touch her favorite fish soup with stewed eggs and fish soup noodles. She can't touch mutton and pork either.
Eat some tasteless chicken breast. When the situation is better, you can eat some boiled eggs dipped in soy sauce.
When your appetite is really bad, you can only eat some salty tofu pudding to supplement protein.
However, she accepts all kinds of vegetables and sweet and sour canned fruits well.
But Song Qingyue was afraid that she would get gestational diabetes, and no matter how much she liked canned fruits, she would not allow herself to eat too much. Most of the time, she felt like she was almost turning into a panda. She was obviously an omnivore, but she turned herself into a herbivore. In order to
In order not to feel hungry, she eats a lot of cabbage every day.
In order to allow her to eat more kinds of vegetables, the emperor specially ordered people to push away all the flowers and plants beside the hot springs in the hot spring villa, and ordered people to build a glass house to grow vegetables. The weather was getting colder and colder.
In other words, a small piece of land next to the hot spring can be used to focus on vegetables, radishes, bean sprouts, etc.
Song Qingyue vomited everything she ate, and she looked extremely haggard, with her cheeks sunken. Li Zhao watched anxiously from the side, and the cook in the mansion tried his best to make meat dishes acceptable to the princess.
Come.
Song Qingyue was also cooperative. No matter what was served from the kitchen, she would try to eat some. No matter what, for the sake of her own health, she had to force herself to eat more.
Song Qingyue's morning sickness caused everyone in the front hall on the East Road to flip up. No matter how Li Zhao concealed it, the female relatives in the backyard still had some guesses.
After Ning Yueyao heard the rumors, everyone was dumbfounded!
Didn’t Fourth Brother say that little bitch Song San wouldn’t get pregnant?
Isn't it said that there is a secret medicine from southern Xinjiang that the brothel madam uses for prostitutes?
Why is that little bitch still pregnant?
She was completely panicked and quickly sent someone to send a letter to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, hoping to go back to her parents' home to discuss countermeasures with her grandmother.
However, Li Zhao sent someone to watch her. Naturally, the letter she wanted to send to her parents' home could not be delivered, but instead fell into Li Zhao's hands.
Even after sending several letters without getting a reply from her grandmother, Ning Yueyao was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. She wanted to leave the house and go back to her parents' house without saying hello. However, she couldn't even leave the house now.
The guards at the residence were much stricter than before. The guards guarding the door had a cold face. No matter what Sandalwood Yunxiang said, they would only recognize the token given by the prince or the princess, otherwise they would not be allowed to enter or leave at will.
Ning Yueyao pointed at the guard and cursed, but the guard remained unmoved.
There was no other way, so Ning Yueyao at least went to the front to ask for Li Zhao, and made up a random reason, hoping that Li Zhao would allow her to go back to her parents' home.
But she couldn't even see Li Zhao's face.
There is a wall between the backyard and the front hall, and Wan Quan stands at the door, saying that only those who have obtained the prince's token can go to the front hall.
Ning Yueyao had no choice. She knew who Wan Quan was. She didn't dare to point her finger at Wan Quan and scold him. She could only beg him aggrievedly, asking Wan Shiwei to help him tell the form that she wanted to see him.
Wan Quan always said that he would convey it to her, but after two or three days without sending anyone to reply, she sent someone to ask, saying that the prince was very busy recently and could not spare any time.
Ning Yueyao was so angry that she cried and cursed in the room, and even smashed a lot of porcelain decorations. Wan Quan was a damn piece of shit.
The maids and women around them saw their concubine going crazy, but no one dared to dissuade her.
This time Ning Yueyao smashed so many things, and Lin Wanfu didn't even come to ask, and he didn't even come over to help replace the smashed things.
Everyone knows that it's not that Wan Quan doesn't want to help, it's simply that the prince doesn't want to see his concubine!
But with Ning Yueyao's temper, who dares to tell the truth?
The trio in the south could still keep their composure. At this time, the three of them were making sesame paste together in Yunying's house.
Yunying is probably the only one in the backyard who doesn't know that the one in the main courtyard is pregnant. In her mind, there is no such possibility. She is just very happy that after her father-in-law became the emperor, the good things in her courtyard will be
There are more things than before!
A few days ago, a young father-in-law came to the palace and gave her a tiara with many big and round pearls. She was very happy.
I have never seen such a gorgeous thing in my life!
Yunying placed the big crown of the royal concubine on the cabinet beside Babu's bed. She could see it every day when she slept. She was happy when she saw the crown, and her dreams were sweet.
No, today three good ladies came to her to eat melon seeds and chat, so she took out the crown and showed it off. Needless to say, the three of them were really envious!
That is the crown of the concubine! Among the three here, which one does not have a better family background than this chubby Tatar princess? Who does not have as much dowry as Yunying? But no matter how well they dress on weekdays, the crown of the concubine is still beautiful.
Even if you don’t have it, you can’t wear it! Why aren’t you envious or jealous?
Yunying heard that these three Liangyuan came from extraordinary backgrounds, and he was so proud to see the envious look in their eyes!
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the second brother suddenly received a letter, saying that His Majesty had approved the supply of beef to the soldiers in the Firearms Battalion. They would eat it every five days and give each person twenty taels. Moreover, His Majesty also said that the cost of the beef would be borne by him.
Instead of counting it as part of the soldiers’ pay, everyone can eat it freely and boldly.
At the back of the letter, there was also a letter of thanks from Fu Chengfeng, the commander of the Firearms Battalion. At the back of the letter of thanks were the signatures of all the officers, colleagues, generals, guerrillas, thousands and hundreds of households in the Firearms Battalion.
When Song Qingyue saw the long list of signatures, she was surprised for a moment, and jokingly said to Li Zhao: "Are these people trying to flatter you? Don't be so grand, right?"
Li Zhaodao: "How do you know they don't really thank you?"
Song Qingyue blinked in confusion, and Li Zhao explained to her with a smile: "In other military camps, the soldiers' rations will be converted into military pay. For example, how much rice will be paid to the soldiers this month, and how much silver will be paid at the end of the month?"
When the time comes, this part of the ration will be deducted. In order to save more money, some soldiers will choose to receive less rice. There is no special cooking class in the military camp. Instead, everyone receives uncooked rice and cooks by themselves. As for
There are no vegetables. They all bring their own pickles, dried radishes and other things to go with the meal, and eat whatever they want. Therefore, in a military camp, except for the generals, most of the soldiers are malnourished, sallow and thin. This firearms camp
The conditions are already very good, but diseases like night blindness are still common. My father not only approved the beef this time, but also approved your second brother’s request to raise chickens in the military camp. It was all from my father.
of the private treasury."
"Hey! I've done a great thing again!" Song Qingyue read the thank you letter again, her eyes turning into moon buds with smiles.
Li Zhao originally wanted to reach out and pinch her face, but looking at her cheeks that were thin due to pregnancy, he felt distressed in his heart.
Song Qingyue no matter what Li Zhao was thinking, she had already lowered her head and started to calculate. There are now a total of 10,000 soldiers in the firearms camp. In this era, one pound is sixteen taels, so 1,250 pounds of beef need to be supplied each time.
The cattle of this year are not the well-bred cattle of the 21st century. The average weight of an adult male cattle is only about 1,000 kilograms, and muscle tissue accounts for 50-60% of the total weight. Calculating, two cattle must be pulled every five days.
, and then there are also some beef louvers, beef intestines, beef liver, beef tendons, etc., which can be used to reward soldiers who perform particularly well.
The butter can also be used for cooking on weekdays.
As a result, about one hundred and four cows will be eaten in a year. It is definitely not enough to rely on Baoding Zhuangzi alone. In Baoding Zhuangzi, about one hundred calves are born every year.
Fortunately, she also raised a lot of cattle in Chahar. Even if the firearms battalion increased to 50,000 people, she could still afford it.
The remaining cowhide can also be used to make cowhide boots for soldiers.
The horns can be made into combs and various handicrafts. In short, this business is definitely profitable.
Thinking of the extra money she would receive in the future, Song Qingyue was so happy that even her morning sickness seemed to be getting better.
While she was bored at home, secretly having fun with her abacus, the court became lively because of several princes who were also censors.
Lao Liu is fourteen this year, and he is just a young man. When he is naughty, he will tell any nonsense rumors he hears outside in the court in front of all the ministers.
The sixth prince exposed the gossipy private affairs of several ministers in the court.
There are really all kinds of messy things.
For example, the third son of Mr. Wu, the minister of the Ministry of War, is unclear about his widowed sister-in-law; for example, Mr. Nie, the official of the Ministry of Punishments, has a good-tempered grandson who keeps a male favorite at home and has a violent wife at home.
Later, after the investigation by the female officials in the palace, the things that I didn't know about my widowed sister-in-law were completely false. They were fabricated slanders made by Master Wu's other daughter-in-law who was jealous of her elder sister-in-law's appearance.
For this reason, the emperor sent people to Wu Da's house to beat the slanderous woman to the ground.
After that, she was divorced by the Wu family and returned to her parents' home.
The people in the capital all clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that the emperor had done a good job.
As for Mr. Nie's grandson-in-law who was domestically abused, it is indeed true.
When the palace lady went over to check, the woman's body was still covered with bruises. Lord Nie's grandson even argued that she had fallen on her own, but his wife Wei Shi was also tortured to the point of going crazy, pointing at him and standing next to him.
Several young boys standing there loudly complained that those young boys were the ones who had committed adultery with their husbands. Not only did they commit adultery, they also teamed up to beat them together.
Webster wanted to divorce her a long time ago, but her mother-in-law's family was reluctant to marry into the Nie family and did not agree to her divorce.
This incident was such a big deal that even Song Qingyue was alarmed.
After the emperor ascended the throne, Jiang Yuanchao resumed his official position. He ate a big melon in Dali Temple and told Song Yuxi about it when he went home. Song Yuxi was so angry that he couldn't sleep at night. The next day, he came to the palace to visit the three people.
My sister complained about this.
Song Qingyue felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and asked: "Did the emperor impose any punishment later?"
Song Yuxi said: "What kind of punishment can there be? In the end, it's all a private matter. The old lady of the Nie family also said that she would persuade her grandson to change his ways and treat his wife well. She also asked her daughter-in-law to bring gifts and go to her in-laws to say good things, but the Wei family was not willing to
It is said that the marriage between my daughter-in-law and her husband will be settled! You don’t know, the old lady of the Nie family and the eldest lady still scolded that Webster every day, saying that she was useless and could not persuade her husband to change his mind. I was so angry that I didn’t even eat anything last night.
You can eat it!”
As she said that, Song Yuxi's stomach growled in response.
Song Qingyue quickly asked Aunt Bai to bring snacks and asked the kitchen to start cooking lunch early.
"Third sister, you said, let's just let it go and let it go like this? I'm so angry! I'm sure that turtle grandson can't change the dog's habit of eating shit. When the time comes, we'll close the door and beat him even more fiercely!" Song Yuxi was eating roses.
Milk cake said angrily, "You are really taking advantage of that little grandson of the Nie family!"
Song Qingyue tapped her fingertips on the case, and said with a serious face: "Now that I know about this matter, I definitely can't just let it go!"
Song Yuxi nodded vigorously: "Third sister, you must never let that bastard of the Nie family go!"
After Song Yuxi left, Li Zhao came over from the study at the front and asked, "Madam, you plan to stand up for the Wei family."
Of course, someone would tell Li Zhao what happened here to Song Qingyue, and Song Qingyue was already used to it.
Without much surprise, she nodded.
