Chapter 137 No Different from a Pig
At night.
Jiang Miaomiao was lying on the bed with her round belly.
Humming and groaning.
"Mom, my stomach hurts..."
Princess Liang summoned Doctor Sun to examine the little girl.
It scared her just now.
In the evening, her aunt invited Miaomiao to have dinner, but while she was eating, she held her stomach and cried out in pain.
"Doctor Sun, how is Miaomiao?"
Doctor Sun took Jiang Miaomiao's pulse and then leaned close to her mouth and smelled it.
There is a faint fishy smell.
"Fifth Miss probably has indigestion and is a bit on the fire. She needs to drink some medicine to stimulate her appetite, strengthen her spleen, and eliminate stagnation, which may help..."
Lu Qingyao's brows twitched.
My daughter came for several days in a row and kept running to Cui's house, and when she came back she refused to eat.
Look at her belly, it’s so round, she must have eaten something secretly again today.
The second son hasn’t gone out for several days and has been studying hard at home every day.
The eldest brother always likes to go to Cui's house when he has nothing to do. He must know what his daughter ate. "Feng'er, did your sister eat something again? What did she eat that makes her so angry?"
Jiang Zifeng didn't dare to hide it anymore and lowered his head, "Mother, my sister has been asking the chef to feed the prince fried chicken every day these days, and she also secretly eats it..."
fried chicken?
Lu Qingyao was so angry that she laughed.
Doesn’t my daughter want to feed King Liang into a pig?
Instead of fattening King Liang, he made himself sick.
"Doctor, thank you for your help!"
Doctor Sun shook his head helplessly. "Madam, the ancients said, 'If you want a child to be safe, keep him three parts hungry and three parts cold.' This little kid's hands and feet are as fat as lotus root nodes. He should be more moderate in his diet."
Jiang Miaomiao lay on the bed, holding her stomach, not daring to make a sound.
She hadn't expected that after becoming a little baby, she would have such a strong appetite. Could it be that she overused her brain and therefore required more calories?
That shouldn't be the case. Second brother uses his brain more than she does.
Then I heard Doctor Sun ask my mother, "Madam, do you have any barley sprouts, malt, or hawthorns at home?"
"We have hawthorn, but barley sprout and malt are a bit hard to find right now." Xiuxiu thought about it and wondered where to find barley sprout and malt so late at night.
Even if there was, the pharmacy would be closed by now.
Lu Qingyao took out a dried herb from the cabinet. "Doctor Sun, is safflower okay?"
It was only after she came to Qingshi Town that she heard from the village elders that the fragrant safflower, which is unique to the south, has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying, and digesting food and eliminating accumulation.
Doctor Sun took it, looked at it, smelled it, and then tore off a leaf and put it in his mouth to chew.
His face showed joy. "Okay, Madam, boil this fragrant safflower and give it to the young lady. I will then press Zhongwan and Zusanli for the young lady..."
Princess Liang stood aside and had no say. After seeing that the little girl was fine, she returned to Cui's house.
I couldn't help but miss my daughter.
Lu Qingyao can raise her daughter so well by herself, why can't she?
She handed the Liang Wang jade pendant to Yu Mama, "Mama, give the token to Chen Qian and ask him to take some capable people to the capital to bring the two children to Jiangzhou."
"Yes, I will go right away."
"Wait, and then have him send over all the servants' indentures, the deeds to the houses and lands in the mansion, and the accounts."
Ever since she became pregnant with a daughter, the household affairs of the palace were nominally handed over to her for management, but in reality they were always managed by Liang Wang's wet nurse, Matron Wu.
It's time to return it to your own hands.
Nanny Yu was delighted, as she finally saw the former eldest daughter of the Cui family return.
"Princess, don't worry. I will take care of this matter. I will go with Guard Chen to avoid suspicion from those in charge."
Princess Liang nodded approvingly, "Thank you, Ma'am."
Fortunately, Prince Liang pretended to be deeply in love with her in public, so it was much more convenient for her to act in the name of Prince Liang.
As for her good husband, he seemed to be recovering very slowly.
Doctor Sun said that he was either very angry or his wound had split open.
I guess these kids are just being naughty.
However, the disease did not get better, but the appetite became bigger and bigger. He had to eat five meals a day, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating.
No different from a pig.
Xiao Miaomiao also said that eating sweets can make people happy, so she sent candied fruits and sweets to King Liang every day.
She went to see it once.
King Liang enjoyed his meal.
But in just seven days, he gained more than a circle of weight, and his clothes became two sizes larger.
Jiang Miaomiao was listless for a few days and was watched by her mother for a few days.
He never went to Prince Liang's house again.
But he still instructed Cui Xingzhou to ask the chef to prepare delicious food for King Liang in various ways.
King Liang was either lying on the bed in the house or on the lounge chair in the yard basking in the sun.
Although the burning pain in my heart never heals, it's still quite enjoyable to watch.
The Chinese New Year is almost here.
Jiang Miaomiao has become much more obedient.
Mother and Aunt Xiuxiu no longer restrained her, and even if mother wanted to beat her again, she would wait until after the New Year.
For some reason, she felt that since coming to Jiangzhou, her mother was no longer the gentle mother she used to be.
Getting more and more irritable...
The eldest brother will get beaten, and the second brother will gloat over the misfortune.
But she always managed to escape.
Cui's brother still often climbed over the wall to come in, and would also take her and her eldest brother over the wall to go out.
"Cui Guoguo, where are we going?"
Jiang Miaomiao was holding her stuffed tiger and Jiujiu, and her elder brother was holding her.
Jiang Zifeng lifted the curtain and watched the carriage leave the city, feeling a little anxious.
"Liu Lang, where are you taking us? We can't go far. We need to be back before dinner."
On weekdays, when I take my sister out to Cui's house or to teahouses and restaurants, my mother and Aunt Xiuxiu turn a blind eye.
Today, I finally met my mother and Aunt Xiuxiu who returned to Qingshi Town. I entrusted them to Aunt Qin, and now I have the opportunity to sneak out again.
But mother will come back after delivering the dividends and New Year gifts.
Maybe they will be back before dinner. If mother knows that they sneaked out of the city, she will definitely beat them.
Cui Xingzhou leaned against the cushion, holding the teacup in one hand and crossing his legs lazily.
He teased, "Brother Feng, look how nervous you are. Could it be that I will sell you out?"
"Then tell me, where are we going? Stop playing tricks." Jiang Zifeng was a little impatient.
Cui Xingzhou sat up straight and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll tell you!"
"Ever since my aunt returned to Jiangzhou, your concubine Qi has been coming to my house all the time, asking to see my aunt every day. She's made my aunt hide when she goes out..."
Jiang Zifeng had also accidentally encountered him at the door several times.
"Did the princess meet her?"
"Of course not, but I was curious. Why did she insist on seeing my aunt? I sent someone to follow her. Guess what I saw?"
Jiang Zifeng rolled his eyes at him, "Cui Liulang, could you please stop talking nonsense? If you don't, we'll just go home."
Actually, Cui Xingzhou is two years older than him, but this kid looks half a head shorter than him, so he can't call him brother and just calls him by his name.
Cui Xingzhou chuckled. He liked to see Jiang Zifeng anxious.
Jiang Zifeng is more interesting than Jiang Ziyan.
Jiang Ziyan was a shrewd fellow. If he asked that, he would definitely say, "I can't guess. I don't want to hear it."
The result is that you feel like you have to beg him to listen.
Jiang Miaomiao rolled her beautiful eyes and looked at him, "Cui Guoguo, what did you see? Miaomiao wants to hear it."
Well, there is no way to resist the little guy's soft and sticky voice.
Cui Xingzhou approached the siblings and said, "My people have been following Miss Qi for several days. They saw her housekeeper leading people to collect grain. They took it all to the farm at the foot of Qingyun Temple and stored it there. Every once in a while, someone would come and take it away..."
"Stockpiling food?" Jiang Zifeng asked in surprise.
It's really strange. If Aunt Qi wanted to learn from her mother and go into grain business, she shouldn't have harvested grain in winter when it's the most expensive.
The amount of grain at this time has doubled compared to the autumn harvest.
My mother always buys low and sells high, she doesn't do business like Qi, no wonder she lost all her money before.
"Did you see who she sold it to?" Jiang Zifeng continued to ask.
"I knew you were curious. This morning, the butler went out with a lot of food. You'll find out who bought it later. You'll never guess that some of the food was bought from your shop through someone else..."
