Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 267: Calculating and Computing (1)
"Mother Concubine, please try the food that my sister-in-law and I cooked for you!" After all, Sun was young and couldn't help but said.As she said that, she moved the green rice porridge and red bean yokan simmered in chicken broth to the stepmother-in-law.

Pregnant women have the most sensitive sense of smell, and the chicken soup and rice porridge with green stalks sent by Mrs. Cheng did not specifically skim off the chicken oil, and a smell of oil rushed straight to Princess Ning's nose. All the little yellow rice, yam, and jujube soup was spit out into the bowl of chicken soup and rice porridge.

While vomiting, Prince Ning and Princess Ning waved: "Take it away, take it away, it's so fishy..."

Nanny Qi hurried forward to remove the things sent by Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Sun. Du Heng hurriedly poured a cup of water for her mother-in-law to rinse her mouth, and then gently patted her back. Only then did Princess Ning gradually get better.She grabbed Du Heng's hand and said weakly: "Ah Heng, the porridge you cooked so carefully is wasted!"

Du Heng shook his head and said: "Mother, don't say that, my wife will do it for you again, you just vomited, and you can only eat when you are stable."

Cheng said awkwardly: "Unexpectedly, the third brother and sister understand this, we are really ashamed of ourselves." Sun hurriedly followed: "Yes."

Du Heng said indifferently: "Sister-in-law is absurd, I just read a few medical books for nothing."

Seeing Du Heng's indifferent demeanor, Mrs. Cheng was furious with ignorance, and suddenly said: "I knew we would have read more miscellaneous books, and those miscellaneous learnings may come in handy at some point."

Princess Ning immediately became unhappy when she heard this, she frowned and snorted coldly: "The concubine should learn more, she must know that at the beginning of pregnancy, pregnant women don't like to be close to oily things."

Cheng's face was flushed with embarrassment, and her heart was tight with anger. She felt guilty because she had never given birth, so she would think of anyone saying anything that was insinuating that she could not give birth. To put it bluntly.Sun's face turned pale, and she was also secretly startled.

The small flower hall is not far from the main hall, and the movement here quickly reached the ears of Prince Ning, who was in the main hall and was talking to his three sons.Prince Ning called Nanny Qi over to ask, and then gave the eldest son a displeased look. It was obvious that Xiao Nuo was troubled by his daughter-in-law.

Xiao Nuo could only bow and say: "Father, please calm down, she must be thinking that the mother and the concubine are now eating one person and two people, so she can eat more good ones, so she specially gave the mother concubine the chicken soup that has been simmering for most of the night." Make porridge."

Prince Ning's expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Xiao'er, you haven't become a father, so naturally you don't know the likes and dislikes of pregnant women, so I don't blame you."

Xiao Nuo's face was flushed with embarrassment, this was the first time his father and king raised the issue of his heirs in front of his younger siblings, it was really a slap in the face.Xiao Nuo, who originally had resentment towards the Cheng family, was now full of anger.He secretly gritted his teeth and vowed that no matter what method he used, he would have to make a child come out next year.

After talking about the eldest son, ignoring the second son, Prince Ning faced the third son Xiao Ze in front of these two sons and said: "Ze'er, your uncle has already sent a message, after the new year you will come to fifth son." The city soldier Ma Si is on an errand, first he will be the patrol captain, and he will start from the fifth rank. As long as you work hard, your uncle will be promoted to you in the future."

Xiao Ze actually already knew the news, the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi had already told him yesterday.But at this time Xiao Ze pretended to know just now, and exclaimed excitedly: "Really, father! This is great, my son can finally fulfill his wish of wandering around."

Xiao Nuo and Xiao Xi snorted with jealousy and disdain, especially Xiao Xi, who is also a fifth-rank captain of the dragon, felt even more uncomfortable. Ze, however, has a real deficiency. Even if Xuncheng Xiaowei is just a high-ranking soldier, he still has the opportunity to be promoted. Unlike him, if he doesn't find a way to get his way, he will only be a Dragon Forbidden Captain until his death in this life.

Xiao Yu is fine, he is the son of the eldest son, so he naturally despises the school captain Xuncheng, and pretends to frown and said: "Father, Aze is in good health, how can he suffer from such hardships, why don't you beg for him?" How about an easy job?"

Xiao Ze said with a smile: "Brother has never been ill for ten years, of course I don't know how much I desire to be able to walk freely. Captain Xuncheng is very good. I can go wherever I like, so free !"

Hearing this, Xiao Nuo secretly said in his heart: "Tch, you are only good at this, it's really useless!" Because of this, he looked down on Xiao Ze even more, but he didn't know that he had made a big mistake. Laughing that Xiao Ze is worthless, but he doesn't know that it is himself who is worthless.

After the turmoil of fined silver, Prince Ning’s mansion finally stopped for a few days, Xiao Nuo and Xiao Xi also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Nuo took the time to find the Jade Buddha. His vision is very high, and he can't look down on the slightly inferior Jade Buddha.So Xiao Nuo had to find a Jade Buddha with excellent jade quality and exquisite carvings, so that his father could take a fancy to it.

This day Xiao Nuo went out again to Liulifang, the most famous antique street in the capital, to look for the Jade Buddha.It really allowed him to find a very transparent and clean black jade Maitreya Buddha in Duobaoxuan.It's just that the asking price for this Moyu Maitreya is not low. The shopkeeper in the shop wants 1 taels of silver.

If you can open a shop in Liulifang, the owners behind it are all powerful people, so bargaining is no problem, but don't be arrogant, who knows which shop is connected to the royal family behind it.So Xiao Nuo didn't dare to be rude, and just frowned and said: "It's too expensive, don't you know the market price after looking at it? Shopkeeper, don't come here, just ask a real price."

The shopkeeper of Duobaoxuan is a middle-aged man with three strands of beard under his chin. He looks calm and gentle, but his words are very rigid.He said with a smile: "It's probably the first time for this grandpa to visit our Duobaoxuan, and he doesn't know the rules of the store. There is no bargaining for the goods displayed in the store."

Xiao Nuo said angrily: "It's unreasonable, how can there be a saying of not haggling the price when buying things, the shopkeeper should not deceive people too much!"

The shopkeeper of Duobaoxuan smiled and said: "My lord, don't be angry, if you feel that the villain is lying to you, you can go out and inquire casually in this Liulifang. Duobaoxuan's reputation of being unbiased has been established for many years. Although there are not as many items in this store as in other stores, each item is unique and exquisite. Lord, you have a good eye. You came here just after this jade Maitreya was put on display. It can be seen that you are destined for this Jade Buddha. Lord Please take a close look at the inscription on the sleeve of the Jade Buddha, this Moyu Maitreya is the latest work of Master Zigang, 1 taels is actually not much at all."
