Chapter 144 West Lake Vinegar Fish is Pregnant (two updates in one, 4000 words)

Su Ruojin didn't really know that my uncle's fame had spread to the capital, and he dealt with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar every day. Su Ruojin didn't know it, so he quickly went to the painting to see the signature. The seal number was Caotang Jushi, with the courtesy name Shaobai.

Confucius once said: The old will be at peace with him, the young will be cherished, and his friends will trust him, so the middle character is "young";

White, plain, means using a single color - ink painting to depict the object. It can also be said that the technique of white drawing can often leave many blanks for people to fully develop their imagination in addition to the line image outlined. This can be called "Leave blank".

Su Shaobai!

A large freehand painting "Dongshan Academy" was personally presented to Su Fuzi.

Su Yanzu raised his hands and said modestly: "It's a random graffiti, I hope your court won't laugh at it."

"Shaobai is too humble. I thanked the mountain leader for the gift. On the first day of May, there will be a literati meeting at Dongshan Academy. Shaobai, if you are free, please come."

“That would be disrespectful!”

Su Ruojin:…

  Su Yanzu is the one who is talented, and Su Yanzu is the one who is good at dancing and elegant. He seems to be born for this. Although he is different from his reserved father, their literati craftsmanship is the same.

They are indeed brothers.

Why didn’t she inherit the talent of the old Su family? No, she also inherited the wealth of the old Su family.

It's just that this talent is not the other's wealth.

“Let’s go!” Su Yanzu stretched out his fingers and flicked the head of his little niece.

Su Ruojin: ...even the melon seeds on his head are the same as his father's.

But he was not her father. She glared at Su Yanzu angrily.

Su Yanzu laughed and said, "Are you angry enough to return to the capital? Then take your time and let me go first."

Su Ruojin turned around and saw that at some point, the crowd of onlookers had dispersed. When he looked at the sun again, he saw that he was almost reaching the top of the mountain. The mountains and forests were brightly red, and the rays of the sun were colorful and beautiful.

Siping was right, this was a good place to enjoy the scenery, but it was a pity that she didn’t have time to look at it, so she turned around and looked for someone.

Zhao Lan appeared in her sight.

If he returns late, the only person who can make an exception to open the city gate is the distinguished Prince Zhao Xiaojun.

She smiled sweetly and ran over, "Little Prince, it's getting late. You can't go back. How about we go together?"

Zhao Lan: ...The tool man is really hammering.

Little lady, do you need to be so obvious?

The little lady puffed out her aggrieved mouth and said, "I'm late coming home. I'm afraid my father will be worried."

Zhao Lan: ...Come on, even threaten him with Master.

The party returned to the city.

After entering the city, Su Yanzu and his niece went their separate ways. Su Ruojin wanted to get off Zhao Lan's carriage, but Zhao Lan refused to let her go and took her to Su's house. She also followed him down for a meal.

Lu Dani cooked dinner, including white chopped chicken, West Lake vinegar fish, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried tofu, stir-fried chicken feathers, soybean stewed pig's feet soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, nutritious and delicious.

Especially the West Lake vinegar fish, which was sweet and sour, tender and delicious. Zhao Lan was so pleased that he ate two more bowls of rice with the sweet and sour fish.

Shuangrui quietly asked Lu Dani for the recipe for this dish.

Ludani told him that the key to making this dish is: "Starve the grass carp for two days to let it expel the taste of grass and earth. This way the fish will be firm and taste better when eaten."

Shuangrui smiled and said, "Ms. Lu, it seems that the second lady is really good at it."

Lu Dani smiled modestly and thought to herself that she had to learn better so that when the little master wanted to open a restaurant, she could contribute. She subconsciously reached out and touched her belly. When she went to the fish market to buy fish yesterday morning, she I thought I was stoked by the smell of fish, but I vomited again while cooking fish today. I guess...

After dinner, Zhao Lan and Su Yanli went to sit in the study.

The two girls who followed, one handed a scarf to Cheng Yingzhen and the other to Su Ruojin.

Cheng Yingzhen waved her hand: "You are the servants of the little prince." It means that you don't want to serve me anymore.

Chunxiao smiled and said, "Madam, I will be a servant of the Su family from now on."

Cheng Yingzhen looked at her daughter in surprise.

Su Ruojin said, "The little prince thinks that I don't have enough ostentation when I go out, so he insists on selling two to me."

Chunxiao:…

Autumn Moon:…

The little prince clearly asked the young lady to go out less often, so why did it become insufficiently pompous?

Cheng Yingzhen frowned. She was used to living in a small household with a simple population. Once she had more girls, she always felt like she was back to her childhood, the depressing life of being bullied by all kinds of girls and women.

Seeing that her mother was unhappy, Su Ruojin hugged her arm and said, "Mom, let's use it first. If not, return it to the little prince."

When the two girls heard this, they knelt down quickly and said, "I will serve my masters with all my heart." The implication was that they would not give the new master a chance to return.

Su Ruojin:…

Cheng Yingzhen grabbed her daughter's forearm with her backhand. She patted her mother gently and said to the two of them, "I hope so!"

“Thank you, master.”

Su Ruojin asked Mao Ya to take them to the house. There was only a vacant room on the west side, so they were placed on the west side.

The two of them returned to the bedroom, and Su Ruojin comforted her: "They are girls from Prince Jin's palace, and they must be different from the previous uncle's palace. Don't worry about their lack of rules."

“I am afraid that the slave will deceive the master.”

The slaves who came out of Prince Jin's Mansion were really big.

“Then let’s try my daughter’s ability to control a big slave?” Su Ruojin tried another way to persuade her mother, “In the future, I will be able to handle it well when I marry into my husband’s family, don’t you think so, mother?”

Cheng Yingzhen was really persuaded, but she still felt that something was wrong. How could a young prince, a young man, take charge of the servants of a young lady? How could he be more like a mother than her? Are all the small princes of high families like this?

After the young prince left, Cheng Yingzhen immediately told him about the two maids sent by Zhao Lan, "Official, why do you think he, a young man, got involved in the affairs of the inner house?"

After the two girls followed the Su family, Su Yanli thought they were Zhao Lan's girls. For this reason, he secretly complained. He didn't expect that the students were just like the young masters in the high-end mansions nowadays. He never thought that they were actually Zhao Lan's girls. For my daughter.

The mood immediately changed.

"Perhaps it's because he saw that the girl next to Ah Jin is not in use." Su Yanli also didn't expect that your young master's student would be so attentive. "When Mao Ya bought her, she was thinking about Ah Jin's safety when traveling, but when she was taking care of family and business matters We really need a decent girl, since the little prince is so enthusiastic, just take it."

Her husband is not worried, and neither is Cheng Yingzhen.

But there was one more thing that worried her. Cheng Yingzhen subconsciously covered her belly and said, "Guardian, when will you tell Ajin about the pregnancy?"

Su Yanli and his wife both felt that their precious daughter did not want them to have another baby. One of them had enough children at home, and the other, Cheng Yingzhen's body had just been recuperated and was now pregnant again, was afraid of letting her daughter down and making her sad.

It has been almost two months, and Cheng Yingzhen and his wife do not dare to say a word.

Mrs. Ding sent Xiao Silang in, and laughed when she saw that the couple looked afraid of their daughter, "I'm already pregnant, what else can I do? I don't believe Ah Jin can teach you to abort it." If he had known that his daughter was sad, why would he have gone there earlier? .

Having lived in the Su family for so long, Mrs. Ding finally understood that her daughter and son-in-law could live such a wealthy and comfortable life because of her capable granddaughter. The two of them were really blessed to have such a capable daughter through their previous lives.

Su Yanli blushed with anger from his mother-in-law.

Cheng Yingzhen felt guilty.

The couple sat under the lamp, staring at each other, no one dared to say anything.

“Fortunately, you didn’t react to this pregnancy.”

Cheng Yingzhen understood what he meant. She didn't dare to tell her daughter, so she just waited for her daughter to notice that her belly couldn't be covered by itself.     "Would this be possible...?"

Su Yanli stroked his forehead, "It's all my fault."

Cheng Yingzhen: ...The slap is so loud, it’s her fault!

The couple sighed under the lamp, not knowing how to face their daughter in the daytime.

After a tiring day, Su Ruojin got into bed comfortably under Qiuyue's care and went to chat with Duke Zhou.

In the dream, someone called her, but it was foggy and she couldn't hear clearly. She didn't know what they called her. It's like being in a trance...

Early on the next morning, Chunxiao Qiuyue entered the room first to serve Su Ruojin. She even had to wash her face. She thought to herself, if she does this every day, will she even have to feed her in the future?

Hearing her worry, Chunxiao chuckled and said, "Then the second lady saw that the little prince wanted to be fed when he was eating?"

Su Ruojin: ...Shuang Rui is serving food on the side, which is almost like feeding.

But in the end, he put it in his mouth.

All right! But she insisted on washing her face by herself. She was really afraid that she would be wasted.

After washing up, she just stood in the corridor. Before she could stretch her legs, Ludani rushed out of the kitchen and ran to the swill bucket and vomited violently.

Su Ruojin:…

Hurrying across the patio and running to the opposite side, "Auntie, are you pregnant?" The young lady's face was full of joy, "Does my uncle, Shu Tong, know?"

Early in the morning, Shu Tong went out to buy things and was not at home.

Mao Ya brought some water and helped Lu Dani rinse her mouth.

Lu Dani wiped the water stains from her mouth and said sheepishly, "I just smelled fishy yesterday morning. I'm not sure if it is."

"It must be." Shu Tongshu didn't have a child until he was thirty years old. Su Ruojin was happy for him and very excited. She quickly asked Mao Ya to get the money and said, "After breakfast, I'll ask the doctor to come to my house to check my pulse."

"No...no..." Ludani waved her hand, "We will go to the hospital by ourselves when brother comes back."

"How can that be done? This is my uncle Shutong's first child, so you have to be more delicate." Su Ruojin waved her hand, "Sister Mao Ya, please run over and call your aunt when the child is born."

Mao Ya covered her mouth and smiled, "Okay."

Lu Dani was filled with happiness at being cared for. She took a break after vomiting and continued working in the kitchen. Su Ruojin stopped her and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but we are used to it, so it's okay."

“How about that?”

"Okay." Lu Dani was so moved by Su Ruojin's caution, "My mother...everyone around me does this."

Su Ruojin:…

When it comes to giving birth, as long as the fetal pressure is stable, there seems to be no need to be so careful. Well, proper labor is also conducive to fertility.

“From now on, don’t do heavy work such as carrying water, do something light.”

Lu Dani was very grateful: "Thank you, Second Lady."

Su Yanli and his wife were standing at the door of the bedroom watching the whole process. Their daughter was very happy with Shu Tong’s child. She was very happy with them...

The two of them looked at each other, silently wondering what they should do.

The family has a daughter who is the head of the family, and they are also very scared, okay?

Ding looked at her useless daughter and son-in-law, and for some reason she just wanted to laugh.

As the sky turned bright and dim, Hua Ping opened the door of Su's house and taught Su Ruojin master and servant how to practice as usual. After Su Dalang went to the academy, the seat was replaced by five-year-old Su Sanlang.

The little cute baby didn't learn the moves like Mao Ya. He now practices the basic skill - Zhanzhuang, which he can't do every day. He originally taught it to two little girls, and Huaping couldn't get enough energy, but since Su Sanlang no longer fishes for three days and sunbathes for two days, Later, Hua Ping's attitude became much more serious, and he seemed to regard Su Sanlang as his disciple.

That's really meticulous.

Su Yanli stood in the corridor and watched for a while, then turned around to have breakfast. After breakfast, Shu Tong also bought the goods and sent him to the Imperial College.

But today the master said that he did not want him to send it, "I will go on foot myself."

Shu Tong asked: "Miss, are you going to Wenshan Street today?"

Su Ruojin replied loudly, "I won't go."

“Then I’ll see you off, sir.”

Su Yanli waved his hand.

It’s time to buy a horse and let Dad pay for it himself.

Su Ruojin smiled and said, "Uncle Hua, don't leave in a hurry after breakfast today."

“What are you doing?”

“I want to buy a horse for my father to help him on his staff.”

"Can."

Su Yanli was about to go out. When he heard his daughter's words, he turned around and smiled. He was such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket. When he thought of his pregnant wife, he felt guilty and quickly turned around and went out for duty.

The little cotton-padded jacket sometimes leaks wind, so it’s better to ‘escape’ quickly.

Shu Tong took a bowl of breakfast and squatted in the corridor to eat it. While eating, he asked, "Little lady, where do you want to buy a horse?"

“I don’t know, I’ll let Uncle Hua Ping take me there anyway.” Su Ruojin smiled and said, “I’ll give you a day off today, you can do whatever you want?”

"Holiday?" Shutong was stunned, "Why?"

Su Ruojin still didn't say, "No reason, I just give you a holiday anyway."

Huaping didn’t know about Lu Dani’s pregnancy and frowned, “You want to torment me again?”

Su Ruojin smiled and beckoned for him to come over, "My aunt is pregnant, and Uncle Shutong doesn't know yet. Later, Mao Ya will ask the doctor to come back to confirm. By then, he will definitely be overjoyed. "

Huaping: ...give birth to a daughter? So envious!

An hour later, the doctor arrived. Just as Su Ruojin expected, Shu Tong could not help but be happy and jumped up and down in the courtyard, just like a young boy, which made people laugh and cry.

Su Sanlang curled his lips, "I didn't even see the little brat, what are you so happy about?"

Everyone:…

The doctor said that the baby is more than a month old and everything is fine. Except for not lifting heavy objects, everything should be as usual.

Shutong refused, "I have to buy something delicious for my wife to eat."

Su Ruojin had a black line on her head, "Uncle Shutong, it's not that I don't want to give up money. You feed your child too much, and it's my aunt who will suffer. I won't agree to it."

Shu Tong asked stupidly: "You eat well, why do you suffer?"

The wife did not eat well when she gave birth to the child, and her health deteriorated after the child was born. He did not want to do it.

He had forgotten what the Su family's living standard was before and what it was now. Besides, Lu Dani's physique was different from Cheng Yingzhen's. He couldn't make up for it casually. He would rather the child be thinner in the mother's belly. This would be easier, but if it was too If you are fat, there was no caesarean section in ancient times, so it would be extremely dangerous for both adults and children.

Su Ruojin rolled her eyes and said, "Aunt, tell him yourself." She didn't want to be a bad guy, so she pulled Huaping and asked him to drive the mule cart and go out to buy horses.

As her daughter went to work, Ding quickly grabbed the doctor who was about to leave and said, "Help my wife take a pulse too."
