Hong Yun settled down temporarily in the main courtyard. He still couldn't eat, so Lin Yutong had to hold down the vagina every time to feed him, then pressed and patted him, and held him for a long time before he felt better.
"We can't go on like this." Lin Yutong hugged Hongyun and whispered in a low voice. He couldn't just do anything every day and coax the children here.
Besides, this is not a serious illness. The key is that the child developed psychological anorexia because of Li's feeding of blood. No matter how smart the doctor is, there is nothing he can do for the time being.
Grape was the eldest girl brought up by Lin Yutong. Although she looked a little clumsy, she was actually a clever and thoughtful person. She said, "How about I bring you some fruits and ask the little eunuch in the kitchen to carve them for me?"
It’s a gadget, let’s see if I can eat some.”
This reminded Lin Yutong. She immediately said, "Ask the kitchen to put a chopping board in the hall, and then move a small stove to a ventilated place at the door. I said I want to make dumplings, and asked them to prepare only the ingredients, not everything else."
Don’t process it in advance. Just bring it over.”
Putao was stunned for a moment, glanced at the second elder brother in Lin Yutong's arms, and then turned around and walked out. Fujin was also very kind to the second elder brother.
When the people in the kitchen heard about the grapes, they immediately started preparing.
Lin Yutong asked Su Zixu to go to the front yard again, "Tell me, tell me what I said, and ask the elder brother to stop the class first. I have something to do with the elder brother here."
After hearing Su Zixu's intention, Fourth Master asked, "What is Fujin doing?"
"As for me, Fujin asked the kitchen to move chopping boards, pots and pans to the main room, probably for the second elder brother's sake." Su Zixu replied carefully.
This is nothing. The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Go and tell your husband to give me half a day off. I'm here today."
When Honghui heard Su Peisheng's words that he could take a vacation, he laughed first. Then he bowed to his husband in a very polite manner, and then ran out as soon as he went out.
Su Peisheng followed and shouted, "Little Ancestor, please take your time."
"I know." Honghui said as he ran.
Su Peisheng watched as Honghui disappeared in the blink of an eye, and muttered: "This eldest brother has been ill for a long time, and he looks like a different person. He looks very lively."
Lin Yutong looked at Honghui and didn't think anything. As long as the child's nature is not suppressed, this is what the child should be like.
"Mother, what are you doing?" Honghui ran back and asked.
Lin Yutong took off all the outer clothes for him, and then said: "You get on the kang, and E Niang will make dumplings for you."
Hong Yun was wrapped in quilt, leaning on the kang, looking at Hong Hui, smiling with his lips pursed. They had never seen so many original things.
Chop dumpling fillings, season, knead the dough, and roll out the wrappers.
"It turns out that cooking a meal is so troublesome." Honghui said.
"Ordinary people may not be able to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Let alone white flour, they may not be able to afford mixed noodles," Lin Yutong said.
"Zamian?" Honghui looked at Lin Yutong in confusion.
Before Lin Yutong could say anything, he saw Fourth Master coming in with the curtain raised, "I don't even know about it. It seems like I have to let you see the suffering of the people."
Lin Yutong's hands were full of noodles, and he motioned for the girl to come forward to change the fourth master's clothes and serve him tea.
But he said: "Is it possible that I have seen it before? I was also in the village at home, and I saw that the villagers were eating mixed noodles and wild vegetables. That's how I found out."
"I knew this when I was younger than Honghui. Huang Ama had someone cook it and gave us a taste of everything. Huang Ama said at that time that in the rest of his life, he would be able to put porridge on the people's tables every time.
, he is worthy of being a holy king." The fourth master sat there with a sigh in his tone.
"If every household can eat dumplings every day, it will take several generations to do it," Honghui continued.
Lin Yutong glanced at Honghui and said, "Yes! As long as there are no people in the world who starve to death, this achievement is comparable to that of Yao and Shun."
The fourth master didn't know what he thought of, and he was in a daze.
After a long while, he said: "You are right, but this is so difficult."
It's quite difficult. Lin Yutong changed the subject, looked at Hongyun and said, "Isn't it fun to watch?"
Hongyun nodded, "It's fun."
"Do you want to try it?" After finishing speaking, Fourth Master stared.
How can a gentleman ask his elder brother to do this when he is far away from the kitchen?
Lin Yutong whispered: "He feels sick after seeing the food. What can we do? Let him know how the food is made and what is in it. He will not be afraid and will naturally eat it. I can think of this method to try now.
. Otherwise, what should I do? I can’t just ask someone to hold it and pour it into it every day.”
The fourth master paused, sighed, and rolled up his sleeves.
Lin Yutong was startled, this man treated his children no differently than an ordinary biological father.
Hong Hui and Hong Yun were really excited from the bottom of their hearts when they saw their Ama taking action.
Lin Yutong asked the girl to wash their hands, told them to kneel down on a chair, gave each of them a piece of dough, and let them toss with it.
The fourth master has long fingers, but he is really not good at bags.
When the dumplings were put into the pot, they turned into braised noodles. But maybe because they were all made by himself, the man actually ate two bowls. Honghui ate one bowl, and Hongyun ate half of it by himself.
Bowl, I didn’t vomit after eating it.
Lin Yutong and Fourth Master looked at each other and suddenly felt that they had done something great together.
From that day on, Lin Yutong either cooked porridge or stewed soup by himself, and kept them in the hall. When making porridge, he asked Hongyun to help pick up the beans, and when making soup, he asked him to help watch the fire.
It wasn't until the twelfth lunar month that Hongyun was able to eat by himself and his face became fleshy.
Mrs. Li comes almost every day, but Hong Yun dodges a little when he sees her. She seems to be afraid of scaring the children again. She comes less often, but she calls Da Ge Ge over every now and then.
Lin Yutong didn't stop them. He just asked them to play aside and leave food for them when it was time to eat. Sometimes it was late, and Da Gege wouldn't yell to go back. Lin Yutong had no choice but to ask someone to clean up the side room for Da Gege to stay temporarily.
She couldn't understand what this Fujin was thinking.
Da Gege is a quiet and shy girl, and her fourth master named her Mo Yaqi, which means longevity grass.
Healthy and long life is a father's only wish for his child.
Da Gege is two years older than Honghui, and is also ten years old this year. She looks somewhat similar to Li, and she is a beauty.
Lin Yutong didn't bother with children, but Honghui went to school during the day, and all her energy was taken up by Li's two children. This made her feel a little nervous. She still doesn't understand Li's plan.
The fourth master didn't know what he was busy with. He came to the main courtyard after a few days and saw something cooking in the pot at the entrance of the hall. It kept making a gurgling sound. Lin Yutong was sitting on the couch by the window with a needle and thread.
On the other side of the kang, the three children took off their clothes and were lying on the kang. Honghui and Hongyun were playing chess, and Mo Yaqi was on the side giving advice to Hongyun. They were laughing and joking, and they were completely out of shape. Lin Yutong
Don't care, just let them do it.
His heart suddenly felt sour. Maybe it wasn't a bad thing that Fujin took him when he wanted a child.
Lin Yutong smiled when he saw him coming in: "Stop making trouble, your Ama is back."
The three of them hurriedly came down and bowed. The Fourth Master called out and said to Da Gege: "I will also learn how to manage a house from your legitimate mother-in-law. You will have to live your own life in the future."
Lin Yutong suddenly realized that Ms. Li had probably made such a plan. No matter what she did was right or not, her original intention was for the good of her children.
She must have been afraid that she would win over the child, but for the sake of the child, she still sent the child.
After eating and putting the children to sleep, the fourth master said: "The princess of the Wang family in Zhijun County needs to be cared for. The emperor has already decided. I am afraid that Mrs. Li has heard the news..."
This makes even more sense.
Lin Yutong nodded and said: "She is thinking too much. Da Gege has an amma like me here. Can I really ask Da Gege to care for Meng?" According to history, the Fourth Master adopted his brother's daughter as his adopted daughter.
He couldn't bear to let go of his girl.
Of course, the Fourth Master’s only daughter reached adulthood, but she did not live until the Fourth Master ascended the throne and died. Princess Huaike was still given the title posthumously.
Now I don’t know what the fate of this big princess will be, but it’s better not to ask her to marry into the Ulanala family.
If a good daughter is married off, she will be gone in a few years. Can a father feel at ease?
It is estimated that at that time, it was also because the Ulanala family had no sons, and this man wanted to get into the relationship between the Li family and Ulanala.
It's all just guessing anyway, who knows exactly what Fourth Master is thinking.
But from Lin Yutong's point of view, now that he is here, what should he do? Can his wife and concubines truly become a harmonious family?
Unexpectedly, I just thought about Ulanala's family. The next day, my mother's family actually came to visit.
In fact, the original owner was Fei Yanggu's old daughter, the daughter of his stepmother. She and her natal brother could only be said to be quite polite to each other, but when it came to being close, we couldn't really say that they were close.
Not even close to my brother, let alone my sister-in-law.
They invited people in. It turned out that the purpose of coming this time was to choose haha beads for Honghui. I wanted to ask the children of the Ulanala family to accompany Honghui.
It is said that this is a common practice. It is more reliable to choose relatives from the mother's clan.
But Lin Yutong doesn't think so. The children themselves are the most important thing.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "If we really ask them to follow Honghui, I guess you won't be able to bear it, sister-in-law." As she said that, she counted Honghui's daily homework on her fingers. "The fourth master is very strict, and the children will probably not be able to bear it when they come."
This is the result of seeing Honghui become seriously ill and cutting back on his homework. If the child can't bear this violence... I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it to my sister-in-law." Seeing this man's expression change, he added:
"We have broken bones and connected tendons, so we cannot become estranged. If sister-in-law is willing, just call the child over."
It has always been difficult to be a maternal relative, and there are even fewer maternal relatives with good results.
Don't wait until you feed their appetites, that will be a disaster. Only when you are safe and orderly can you last a long time.
In the evening, the fourth master came over for dinner, and Lin Yutong explained what he meant.
"Brother can only maintain his status and has no talents. Let him live an honest life." Lin Yutong said very directly.
Fourth Master raised his eyebrows, this was unexpected. "Why, are you having trouble with your family?"
Lin Yutong shook his head, "I'm afraid they will cause trouble for me... and Honghui. I don't want them to give me much help, don't hold me back."
But in my heart, I thought that the now prominent Hesheli family and the Tong family could still be prominent for a few more years. Instead of ending up with the whole family being ruined, it would be better not to give them too much hope from the beginning.
It’s the New Year after Laba Festival. This is the first time for Lin Yutong to eat Laba porridge given by the palace.
It was half lukewarm, just like that. She only gave each of the children the bottom of a bowl, and the rest was sent to a few women in the house.
The fourth master glanced at Lin Yutong with a half-smile, "This man's mind is really not as good as before."
If he didn't think it tasted good, he would give it to others. He could guarantee that those few princesses were probably still thinking about this person's kindness.
My mind is a bit bad, but my people are more lively.
"This year's New Year's gift for the palace, let me see what else I need to prepare." Lin Yutong changed the subject and said: "I asked the aunt to prepare it according to the practice of previous years. In addition, I also asked people to quietly give alms outside.
Then I found an old man from a poor family who lived a long life, and read a scripture every day to pray for the emperor and the empress."
"This is a good job. Don't make it public, do it quietly." The fourth master nodded immediately. Filial piety, if it is too exposed, it is not true filial piety.
Lin Yutong knew what Fourth Master meant, and said: "It would be best if the scriptures copied by me should also be placed in front of the Buddha."
Rather than offering it up, it's really better to offer it quietly.
Fourth Master nodded, "That's fine."
Lin Yutong could see that he really wanted to pray for blessings. He believed in Buddhism, unlike himself, who was only thinking about showing off.
This made Lin Yutong feel a little ashamed of himself. He really had a different state of mind.
Although the two of them were not as close as husband and wife during this period of time together, they were much better than before.
The fourth master came to spend the night just to sleep.
I don't know whether it's because the child is there, or whether the fourth master has no other thoughts about this Fujin. In short, the two of them are getting along well.
There were a lot of things that happened a year ago. The old grandma was so busy that she didn't touch the ground, but Fujin said that she didn't care, so she really didn't get involved in anything. She just checked the account books every now and then. But if you think this person is easy to fool, then
Really made the wrong idea.
She knew exactly how much prices had risen in the past few years. The money she transferred to buy it was really a waste.
Lin Yutong shocked the people below and was busy with his own business. What was he busy with? He was busy practicing etiquette in a space facing the space by himself.
According to the memory of the original owner, this New Year celebration is far more troublesome than imagined.
At three o'clock in the morning on New Year's Eve, we all got up. The fire was not turned off in the kitchen all night. The masters came together and put the meal on the table.
Honghui didn't dare to eat too much soup and water, so he choked on his neck. Hongyun ate a bowl of egg custard and couldn't swallow anything.
The Fourth Master frowned and said, "I still want to take these two to the front. How can this be done?"
"It's okay to show your face. The child can't stay any longer, so I asked someone to send him to the back." Lin Yutong saw that the faces of the two children were about to collapse, and said quickly. Although they are the grandsons of the emperor, seeing the emperor is still an exciting thing for the child.
thing.
"A loving mother often loses her son." Fourth Master snorted, but did not refute.
Lin Yutong winked at the two of them and told them to eat quickly.
After dinner, Lin Yutong freshened up, put on nude makeup on herself in the room, and then came out wearing a Belle Fujin gown.
In the past few months, Lin Yutong has taken good care of her body. Her complexion has improved, and she is already pretty. As long as she tidies it up a little more carefully, at a quick glance, it is really amazing.
The Fourth Master looked up and down and nodded, "Not bad."
Is this considered a compliment?
The wind was blowing outside and snowflakes were flying. Going out in the middle of the night was so cold that I couldn't even open my mouth.
Lin Yutong asked the nuns to pick up the children and wrap them tightly in cloaks before moving forward.
The charcoal pot on the carriage was burning brightly, and it probably didn't go out all night. It was quite warm inside.
"Mother, is Ama riding a horse outside?" Honghui said.
There is nothing that can be done about it. I guess this is the case for several princes. It's freezing cold today. Even though they live not far away and wear thick enough clothes, they probably can't withstand the cold wind.
She suddenly remembered that when she was in the Red Mansion, she still remembered making knee pads for Lin Ruhai, Lin Yuyang and Wen Tianfang to wear. How could she have forgotten this now? Today's ancestor worship ceremony, the royal ancestor worship ceremony is even more complicated. Today
I have been kneeling in the freezing cold for most of the day. Do I still need my knees? What a mistake! (. )
