Fu Ying entered the palace and talked with her elder sister every day, talked about her childhood, talked about her experience of pregnancy, and quietly talked about her family life. Every day, Fu Ying dined in Queen Fu's harem. Under Fu Ying's guidance, Queen Fu barely ate a little. After a while, Queen Fu's condition gradually improved. Half a month later, Queen Fu could be carried by the palace maid to walk in the garden.

During the period when Queen Fu was sick, Chai Rong let the imperial physicians suffer enough. After Queen Fu recovered from illness, Chai Rong felt a little guilty when she thought of the bruises on the imperial physicians' faces. As compensation, each imperial physician received a very generous reward.

This was a happy ending. Although the imperial physicians did not find out what disease Queen Fu had in the end. After the disease was cured, the imperial physicians all argued that it was the efficacy of the prescription they prescribed. Many imperial physicians had prescribed medicine for Queen Fu, and the decisive medicine of the imperial physician was arguing endlessly, but in the end they were still unknown. An imperial physician liked to use his brains and thought about it every day. Suddenly, the inspiration flashed. I thought that Queen Fu's disease gradually improved after Fu Ying entered the palace, and Fu Ying was pregnant. "It must be that Madam Fu entered the palace and cheered for the queen." The imperial physician thought of this reason and happily jumped out of the bed. From then on, whenever this imperial physician encountered difficult cases, he had to use the trick of Chongxi, becoming the founder of the Chongxi School. Chongxi became an unreasonable folk custom that spread to the order.

The queen's condition miraculously improved, and the news of good news on the Western Front was frequent. Zhou Yuantongbao, which was created to destroy the Buddha, was circulated on the market. Yuan Zhen's "Junior Field Picture" was also published in the world. One good thing after another made Chai Rong's mood look like drinking a pot of ice water on August and eating a pot of boiling dog meat soup on the twelfth lunar month. It was so pleasant.

August 14th is Queen Fu's birthday. Chai Rong put down his business and returned to the palace early. Queen Fu knew that Chai Rong did not like luxury, so she carefully considered it and ordered a recipe and asked the imperial kitchen to prepare three meat dishes, six vegetarian dishes and three plates of pastries for dinner.

In addition to Wucha shrimp and shrimps and stewed belly, which both Chai Rong and Queen Fu love, there is also a dish of Yutu lotus leaf chicken. The name of this dish is also a story. Chai Rong's family was in decline in his early years and he had been doing business everywhere. One day, because he was in a hurry to travel, he missed the village shop. When he was hungry, he smelled the fragrance. Chai Rong escaped the fragrance and saw two young people of his age, burning a fire, and just roasting a famous "beggar chicken" in the world. When the two young people saw Chai Rong, they scattered it with great pleasure.

A chicken's feet were asked to share. Two young men, one of whom was Xiang Mingxun and the other was Cao Han, who later became Chai Rong's confidant ministers. But at that time, Xiang Xun, Cao Han's life was much better than Chai Rong. Both of them were rich children. They were idle and had nothing to do. They stole two roosters from the farm and became beggar chickens outside the village. The three of them were of the same age and had a good conversation, but they even fell in love with each other. In the early Han Dynasty, after Taizu Guo Wei became the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Chai Rong became the general of the left supervisor's guard. Xiang Xun, Cao Han and the other two defected to Chai Rong and became Chai Rong's capable general.

After Chai Rong became emperor, he still missed the beggar chicken he had eaten before. Queen Fu was as careful as she knew this history. After knowing that the imperial kitchen often made this dish. Naturally, the imperial kitchen would not copy such a simple dish. Several chefs improved this dish and made some minor changes in the cooking method. The chefs first took out the slaughtered pheasants and washed them without fading their hair. They wrapped them with lotus leaves, then pasted them with yellow mud, put them on the fire and cooked them, and then broke the soil, and the chicken feathers were removed.

Luo. Baoheye is the difference between chefs and beggars. Beggars cook this dish for convenience, while chefs cooks for art. Because they use the loess, springs and lotus leaves in the lake as auxiliary, they are called "Yutu Lotus Leaf Chicken". The lotus leaf chicken tastes delicious, especially the faint fragrance of lotus leaves that seem to be there and there is a long aftertaste. However, Chai Rong still likes the beggars, but when he sees Queen Fu likes to eat this, he pretends to like it.

After Fu Ying arrived at Daliang, she moved into the palace. She went to her elder sister's place every day, chatted with her elder sister, took a walk, and met Chai Rong frequently. She became more familiar with each other, became more close and less fearful.

Chai Rong was a civilian emperor with strong civilian habits. When he returned to the harem, especially when he was with the queen and the son Zongxun, Chai Rong unconsciously let go of the emperor's majesty, talked and laughed with his wife, and enjoyed the joy of family. Chai Rong's original wife was Liu, the king of Pengcheng County. Chai Rong and Liu had two sons, one was named Yi Ge, and the other was a baby in a cradle. Without a name, Liu and these two underage sons died at the hands of Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Han Dynasty. This was a deep pain that made Chai Rong feel unforgettable. Since then, Chai Rong has had a special care for children and pregnant women. Fu Ying is pretty, elegant in conversation and extraordinary knowledge. Chai Rong loves this sister-in-law very much.

Chai Rong was friendly to Fu Ying and had long seen the palace maids and eunuchs. Therefore, he was extremely attentive to Fu Ying. Most of the ministers in the court had good father-in-laws, so the ministers even looked at Hou Dayong with a high profile.

Chai Rong came to Queen Fu, took off her court clothes, and changed into a blue casual outfit. The casual outfit was Chai Rong's favorite style of Hu clothing. Her sleeves and waist were tightly cloaked, and her collar was a small lapel. Queen Fu and Fu Ying had already placed a small sandalwood round table in the garden, and had already arranged the pastries, waiting for Chai Rong.

Queen Fu specially brought her youngest son Chai Zongxun over today. Chai Shouxun is the son of Chai Rong and Queen Fu. On August 4, 3rd year of Guangshun, she was born in the palace of Chanzhou. She is now over two years old. The palace maid takes him with her and has been in the garden for fun. Seeing Chai Rong coming, she spread her chubby little dirty hands, hugged Chai Rong's thighs, and said in a tender voice: "Father, hold me."

Chai Rong picked up Chai Zongxun and kissed her little face. Seeing Chai Zongxun's little feet rubbing against Chai Rong's clothes, Queen Fu dirtyed Chai Rong's clean clothes that Chai Rongcai changed, she reached out to hug Chai Zongxun and said, "Come down to play." Chai Zongxun was having fun on her father, and pulled Chai Rong's clothes and kept crying. At the same time, Queen Fu coaxed and deceived her, and Chai Zongxun asked the palace maid to take her to the side to play.

Chai Rong was coaxed away and he was able to take his seat. He raised his glass and said happily: "My wife has just recovered from illness for a long time, so she must celebrate her birthday."

Queen Fu raised her wine glass and looked at her heroic husband with tenderness, saying, "In the midst of a serious illness, I thought I could not overcome this hurdle. I really couldn't bear to leave my husband and Zong Xun." Queen Fu thought of her illness, and her eyes became wet again. "The little woman must have accumulated virtue in her previous life. I often think that she has been married to her husband for three years. For these three years, I will not be in vain to walk in this world. I am content."

Seeing that Chai Rong saw his beloved wife's eyes were blurred, a small crystal clear teardrop was hanging on her snow-white face. He reached out to wipe away the tears, then held one of his wife's hand and said, "Master Chen Tuan once said that I could live for thirty years. Thirty years is enough. Ten years of expansion of the world, ten years of support for the people, and ten years of peace. My wife will accompany me to build a great river and country, so don't say such stupid words in the future."

Chai Rong and his wife were talking about their own feelings, which moved Fu Ying one by one. The little guy in her belly also joined in the fun and started punching and kicking in her belly. Fu Ying stroked her belly with her hands, and thought of Hou Dayong, who was fighting hard in the distance. Fu Ying was good at the family of officials, and had been influenced by the way of the officialdom since she was a child and knew how to advance and retreat. Although she missed her husband in her heart, Chai Rong had a rule that she was not allowed to participate in politics in the harem. Therefore, Fu Ying never mentioned Hou Dayong in front of Chai Rong.

After the middle of the drink, Chai Rong, who had been talking and laughing, suddenly said to Fu Ying seriously: "When I met Hou Lang in Dezhou, Hou Lang rushed out of Cangzhou City alone with a horse. I felt that Hou Lang was not an ordinary person. In the past two years, Hou Lang has made many great contributions. This Western Expedition has not been small. It seems that my vision is good. Now, the four prefectures of Qin, Cheng, Feng, and Feng have been settled. The Shu army gathered troops to station grain at Jianmen and Baidi, and the situation is not optimistic."

Fu Ying looked up at Chai Rong in surprise, knowing that Chai Rong must have something important, otherwise he would not have suddenly talked about state affairs.

Chai Rong continued: "Hou Lang has reached a high position in just two years since the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he does not make many contributions, there will inevitably be some people who are dissatisfied." Chai Rong paused for a moment and glanced at Fu Ying.

Fu Ying was extremely clever and said, "World's duty to serve the country. Hou Lang made meritorious service, and I am also proud of my face."

Chai Rong smiled slightly, changed the topic and said, "If Madam Fu is pregnant with a son, she will be my adopted son. I will name him Hou Zonglin. If he is a daughter, I will adopt him as her adopted daughter and named him Hou Zonglin."

Fu Ying was very surprised when she heard this. She peeked at her elder sister, and her elder sister was full of smiles. It seemed that the two had already agreed.

After the banquet, two close-fitting maids escorted Fu Ying back to the Meiyuan Palace.

Xiao Lianzi sat in the yard, staring blankly at the stars in the sky, and did not hear Fu Ying's footsteps entering the yard. Fu Ying came behind Xiao Lianzi, but Xiao Lianzi still did not notice it. Fu Ying said, "Little Lianzi."

Xiao Lianzi was startled when she heard someone talking. She turned around and saw that it was Fu Ying, patted her chest and said, "I really scared me."

"What are you thinking about sitting here? Have you ever heard the letter? We are so loud and you didn't hear it?"

Xiao Lianzi said, "Today, Eunuch Yang brought back a letter. I gave Eunuch Yang ten taels of silver as my wife told me." Then, "I didn't think about anything. Madam Fu, look, today's stars are so beautiful." After saying that, Xiao Lianzi's face turned slightly red.

The letter was written by Meng Shu, very short, with only one line of words, "Xiaoguan and Butler Xu Qing have arrived at Daliang." Fu Ying put the letter on the table, took another piece of paper, and wrote: "Tomorrow morning, Manager Fu, Master Meng, and Butler Xu are waiting for me in the Fu family compound, and have something to discuss."

The business of the Fu Family Store has been popular throughout the Dazhou, and the profits are amazing every day. Now, Hou Dayong has not returned to the Western Expedition, Fu Ying is pregnant and lives in the deep palace, so Fu Gong actually controls a large amount of property.

When Fu Ying came to the yard of Fu's family in Daliang, she felt wary when she saw Fu Gong buying dozens of slaves. She felt that it was necessary for people with such status as Fu Gong to buy a few or more than a dozen slaves to take care of their lives. However, if you bought dozens of slaves in Daliang alone, Fu Gong was a bit out of style.

Fu Ying felt that there were too many wealth and property every day after Fu Gong's hand, and he could not check the various incomings and outs of the rich shops himself. People died of money and birds died of food. Fu Ying felt that this was not a solution. After thinking about it, he came up with a plan. Fu Ying decided to divide the business of the rich shops into three parts. Fu Gong mainly deals with paper, Meng Shu manages iron tools, and Xu Qing takes over Meng Shu's caravan.

Fu Ying dared to come forward to decide on such major events, on the one hand, because Fu Ying was the hostess or the queen's sister, with a noble status, and the defense envoy clearly explained that the big matters of the rich shops were decided by Fu Ying; on the other hand, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and even the Northern Song Dynasty, women had a higher social status. It was not until the development of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism to the Southern Song Dynasty that women were greatly suppressed, which was related to the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was a cowardly dynasty, unable to defeat the surrounding ethnic minority regimes, and was often beaten by ethnic minorities. The men who often defeated wars were naturally impotence. In order to extricate the anger in their hearts, they could only use women who were weaker than themselves.

The men opened various ancient books and looked for theories, but were a little disappointed. There were not many tools suitable for binding women in ancient books. I wonder who accidentally discovered that the ready-made Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was more suitable for torture women. Therefore, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism became popular in society. "Men and women are not allowed to give in to each other, they are not allowed to go out of the door, they are not allowed to step on the door, they are not allowed to starve to death, they are not allowed to lose their integrity, chastity archway, foot binding cloth" and other broken rules gradually became social norms. That is, since the Southern Song Dynasty, fewer and fewer women were once alive, and more were old ladies, strong women, pig cages and chastity archways.

Fu Ying asked Eunuch Yang in the palace to help deliver the message. Eunuch Yang had received favor from Queen Fu, and every time he sent the message, Fu Ying always gave him a reward, so Eunuch Yang was very enthusiastic about carrying the letter.

The next day, Fu Ying took the excuse to leave the palace. When he arrived at the Fu Family Courtyard, Fu Gong, Meng Shu and Xu Qing were already waiting for her in the hall. After Fu Ying arrived at the palace, her elder sister gave her a lot of beautiful clothes. Today she was going to go out to the palace to do business. Fu Ying specially wore a large-sleeved shirt and dress with silk. She wore a peach-shaped gold crown covered with pearls and jade, and a phoenix bird. She also had golden hairpins on her temples, and exquisite jade ornaments on her ears and necks, and soft brocade shoes on her feet, which looked elegant and luxurious, bright and radiant.

After Fu Gong arrived at Daliang, he often mingled in restaurants and yards with his strong financial resources. Because of his wealth, he was known as "Sai Mengchang". Fu Gong, who had money, was used to seeing all kinds of beauties. He liked the noble women who became official slaves because of his conviction. Seeing these once arrogant aristocratic women crawling at his feet, Fu Gong felt extremely happy.

Fu Gong lowered his head while Fu Ying lowered his head, but in his heart he imagined Fu Ying wearing the dancer's clothes and kneeling beside him.

After the three of them bowed, Fu Ying said straight to the point: "The Fu Family Store is doing a good business now, and the Fu Storekeeper is invaluable. However, now there are many stores and the goods are complicated. The Fu Storekeeper is too busy to get busy. Today, the three people come here to discuss the matter. From today on, the Fu Family Store Iron Tools are run by Majesty Meng, the paper is run by Majesty Fu Storekeeper, and the Meng Shu caravan is run by General Xu Qing. All three businesses are opened, and the Fu Store brand is still used."

Fu Gong did not expect Fu Ying to make such a decision, and it was not allowed to discuss it at all. He embezzled a lot of money from the rich shop, and all the people who were doing the accounts were his confidants, so he was not afraid of being found out. But in this way, the wealth kingdom that he had been lucky enough to run collapsed and dissolved. Fu Gong was shocked, angry and hated, lowered his head, and stared at the ground.

"I will go back to the palace soon. You can handle the delivery immediately. Tomorrow, I will send Eunuch Yang from the palace to get the delivery list. Now the business of the rich shop is so good that you can't be affected by this."

Fu Gong tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, then raised his head and said calmly: "Miss Fu really thinks about me. There are too many things to do during this period and I can't be busy at all. Now I can finally relax."
