So the custom of not speaking out for less than three months still has some practical significance.And it's not the Lin family's style to make everyone aware of her pregnancy.

Wen Jiao was worried, afraid that Lin Hai couldn't help but tell others, and urged him again and again, seeing that Lin Hai seriously promised not to speak out, that's all.

Winter clothes are cumbersome to wear, and Lin Hai is extremely sticky today. The husband and wife wash up and go to the clean room to wait for a whole set of work. It has already passed half an hour plus two quarters of an hour, which is twice as much as usual time.

Fortunately, today is not a regular day, so you don't have to go to the gate of the palace to wait before Maochu, just use Maozheng to go to the Ministry of Justice to order Mao.

Moreover, things like Dianmao are not very binding on officials at the level of Shangshu Shilang.Lin Hai has been here on time every day for more than a month because he is still in the handover period and there are still many files from previous years to read.

But it was already two quarters of an hour before we arrived at Maochu. Seeing that Lin Hai was still sticky, Wen Jiao hurriedly urged someone to give Lin Hai early snacks.

Yesterday, Bai Shuang ordered the kitchen to make a few more snacks for breakfast today, half of which should be free from oily smell, and the other half should be as usual.

In the spring of this year, Wen Jiao thought about the abilities of the three people who were in charge of vegetables, meat, rice noodles, oil, salt, tea, sugar, and charcoal candles. He promoted Zhao Quan, who was in charge of vegetables, meat, and rice noodles, to be the head of the kitchen, and the next two people were assistants. Manager, the three restrain each other.

Can be promoted by Wen Jiao, then Zhao Quan is also a clever person.In addition, the main hospital invited the imperial doctor to come in the evening yesterday, and after pondering all night, he came to the conclusion that the wife might be pregnant.

He thought about it for a long time, and only let the other cook with him, who was cooking for the master of the main courtyard, tell him not to put cold things in the dishes in the future.He also specifically asked the masters not to spread nonsense about this matter unless the masters spoke.

In the past, the breakfast snacks were Xiaolongbao, spring rolls, pancakes, butterfly cakes, rose cakes, etc.On weekdays, Wen Jiao likes to eat white rice porridge with salted duck eggs, plus a few small steamed buns, a small piece of shortbread, and two small fried dumplings. It is warm and satisfying.

Because breakfast is eaten early in the morning, and noon is not eaten until noon, there is an interval of three or four hours.So when things are done (nine o'clock), Wen Jiao will drink another bowl of milk or goat's milk, just a few pieces of flower-scented snacks.

But Wen Jiao can't smell meat now, let alone eat the salted duck eggs of rose cakes, steamed buns, which he used to love, he can't even smell them, so he can only share the table with Lin Hai for breakfast.

Lin Hai wanted to eat with Wen Jiao, but was persuaded by Wen Jiao to go to the table in the main room.Lin Hai's work in the Ministry of Punishment is all mental work, and he can't stand it if he doesn't eat something real.If you are too hungry, it will hurt your body again.

In fact, it is common for the court to start early in the middle of the court. Many ministers first go to the Yamen to meet the Mao, and then come out to buy some pancakes and so on at the street stalls.

However, because the Lin family members are not in good health, the family has never allowed outsiders to eat the food made by these small vendors.Furthermore, there is always an hour or two between the morning and the next court or going out to buy breakfast at the Yamen.Empty stomach is not good either.

Over time, Lin Hai also developed a habit.If he occasionally goes shopping to buy something for snacks, he will also taste it, and he can also judge who makes it delicious.But on weekdays, I am determined not to eat the things made by these vendors outside every day.

In Yangzhou fashion, it is not necessary to have breakfast so early every day.But when he arrived in the capital, Lin Hai still stubbornly refused to eat outside food.

Wen Jiao managed to take care of Lin Hai's body, fearing that he would starve again, so he had to ask someone to wrap a few pieces of snacks in oiled paper for Lin Hai to take with him.Although Lin Hai didn't say anything, he didn't bring back a piece every day, and it seemed that he had eaten all of it.

Wen Jiao sat on the kang and drank a bowl of goat milk hot, and ate half a steamed bun with the pickles pickled in the kitchen, and a boiled egg. full.

Wen Jiao didn't like to eat pickled vegetables on weekdays, so he couldn't help it today. After eating a few mouthfuls, he felt that the cook at home was really good at pickling pickled vegetables. The pickled cucumber was very refreshing, and the sugared garlic was sweet and crisp.

She thought of the spicy cabbage eaten in modern times, became interested, described the appearance and taste, and asked people to ask if the kitchen would make this.

There are only three serious masters in the mansion, and Zhao Quan has been taking good care of them.Now the hostess, who is suspected to be pregnant, wants to eat spicy cabbage. Although she has never heard of it, it is not a difficult dish to make, so she agrees.

Fresh vegetables are not easy to come by in winter, and even now that greenhouse technology has appeared, it is not widely used.Without him, the cost is too high, it is to increase the temperature and humidity in the house with a fire wall.This thing is only common in palaces and palaces now, and ordinary people don't have it.

Although the Lin family could afford it, it was too ostentatious and extravagant to build a greenhouse just to eat a bite of fresh vegetables.

In winter, every household stores Chinese cabbages and radishes, and Lin's is no exception. There are piles of cabbages in the cellar.So Zhao Quan took people to the cellar and brought up twenty Chinese cabbage first, then discussed with others, carefully mixed ten kinds of ingredients according to the color and taste that his wife said, and marinated ten jars of pickles.Wait until the time comes, which altar tastes the best before entering.

After breakfast, I sent Lin Hai, who was extremely sticky today, out the door, when I heard that the eldest girl was coming.

Because the winter weather in the capital is too cold, Lin Hai gets up too early every day.Three or four o'clock in the morning was the coldest time of the day, and Wen Jiao was afraid that Daiyu would come to pay her respects every morning without breakfast, and then pour cold wind into her stomach.So I asked Daiyu to have her own breakfast in the yard before coming back, so she didn't have to come too early.

Although Daiyu spends most of her time in the Su Mansion these days, when she returns home on Muxiu, she comes here every day at the second of Maozheng.

Now it's only Maochu, and the modern time is an hour and a half earlier than usual, and Daiyu has come.So Wen Jiao was taken aback for a moment, afraid that Daiyu might be in a hurry, so she hurried to the door to pick up Daiyu.

Daiyu entered the door and saw Wen Jiao standing at the door, and before she had time to greet her, she hurriedly said, "What is madam doing standing at the door, I'm bringing in a cold air from outside, madam, go inside and sit down and wait for me."

Seeing Daiyu's anxious face, Wen Jiao frowned, and said with a quick smile, "Okay, okay, I'll go back to the back room right now, don't worry, Yu'er, the room is warm."

So Wen Jiao sat back on the kang on the east side.Originally, there was no wall between Wenjiao's main room and the side rooms, but only the towering Duobao Pavilion to separate it.But in winter, thick curtains are hung to keep warm.

Wen Jiao sat on the kang, just wrapped up the blanket and sat down with the stove in his arms, when Daiyu lifted the curtain and came in.

As soon as Daiyu entered the side room, she gave Wen Jiao a blessing and said, "Greetings to my wife. Just now my daughter verbally offended my wife, don't blame my wife."

Wen Jiao laughed and said, "What's the matter? I still blame Yu'er for this one or two words? Are you tired from standing? Come up quickly." As he said, he stretched out his hand towards Daiyu.Daiyu smiled and went to the kang, where the mother and daughter sat opposite each other.

Only then did Wen Jiao ask: "Why did Yu'er come so early today? But what happened?"

Hearing Wen Jiao's question, Daiyu pulled Wen Jiao and sighed with a smile: "My good wife, you are the most important thing in the family right now, what else can I do?"

Wen Jiao said with a smile: "Yu'er is also like your father. Your father looks at me like a man looking at glass, for fear that I will break if I am not careful. Doctor Jiang has already said that my pulse condition is very good and I am in good health. Kang Jian, what can happen?"

Daiyu was very young, but she spoke in a very orderly manner, and sighed: "That being said, even though I am young, I know that the first three months are the most unstable time. Now that there are so many things at home, my wife Worrying about it every day hurts both the spirit and the body.”

"In half a month, it will be the new year. My wife is the second-rank wife, and my father is in court, so I have to go to the palace to receive a banquet. This time I have to go back and forth again. Therefore, I am very worried. After thinking about it, Came early."

Only then did Wen Jiao discover that Daiyu's eyes also had a faint blue color.She felt very distressed, and remembered that it was so early in the morning and wondered if Daiyu had eaten breakfast, so she asked, and Daiyu really came here without breakfast.

Wen Jiao sternly said, "What's the big deal? It's worth you running here without breakfast? I know you're worried, but how much effort does it take to have breakfast? Hurry up and eat breakfast well, and then you won't have to worry about it." Hurry up for this moment. Bai Lu, hurry up and go to the kitchen and bring the girl's breakfast."

Daiyu's heart is full of things, heavy.I tossed and turned and thought about it all night, with a lot of things in my stomach that I wanted to finish with Wen Jiao early.Therefore, the rare ones couldn't stand still, and rushed to the main courtyard when they came together.

Seeing that Wen Jiao was really angry, Daiyu also knew that she was not good, and after thinking about it, she felt that what Wen Jiao said was reasonable.But she really had something in her heart, and at the same time felt that she cared about Wen Jiao, and she couldn't help but feel aggrieved when Wen Jiao said something with a straight face.

Wen Jiao saw that Daiyu lowered her head and said nothing, her eyelashes fluttering, and her heart softened.

But still the same sentence, she spent so much effort to raise their father and daughter well, and Daiyu came here today without eating, the more Wen Jiao thought about it, the more angry and sad she became.Both the mother and the son didn't speak, just sat there.

Fortunately, Daiyu's breakfast was served soon.Bai Lu asked where the food was placed, and Dai Yu said, "It's fine to bother sisters and put it in the main room, don't smoke your wife."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu looked at Wen Jiao, pulled Wen Jiao's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Madam, I'm going to eat." Without waiting for Wen Jiao to speak, she got off the kang and went to the main room to have breakfast by herself.

Seeing Daiyu go out, Bai Lu looked at Wen Jiao's face, came up and persuaded with a small smile: "Ma'am, the young lady is also concerned about Madam, so she came here in a hurry. After Madam said a few words, the little girl has a thin skin, naturally Excuse me."

"Besides, Madam has never been serious with the eldest lady in the past. Just now I was scared, let alone the eldest lady. The eldest lady is a sensible person, and she must be able to turn around after eating and understand Madam heart."
