a ten-day break, they would now have half a day off every five days."Everyone nodded, and then they understood.Jia Huan hasn't been in Luo An these past few days, and today he's been busy in the kitc...Old Mrs. Li didn't know the Emperor had arrived. She waited at home for half an afternoon but her children and grandchildren didn't come back, so she went out to look for them.
As a result, she hadn't walked far when she ran into the crowd and smiled as she asked, "What kind of guest has the Lord brought to appreciate the flowers I asked Hongying if it was a woman, but she stuttered and refused to say."
Li Lao'er stepped forward and supported his mother's arm, whispering a few words in her ear.
"Oh dear! How could Lord Hou not say a word It's really rude to our esteemed guest."
Li Lao'er smiled and explained: "A distinguished guest probably wouldn't dare to cause too much commotion. They just want to relax a bit, admire the flowers."
"Well, I guess so," Li Laotai nodded. "There are only a few of us in our family. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, it's just too much work! That one is in charge of the whole world, she must be even more tired!"
As they spoke, the crowd entered the courtyard.
Cuijinjiao next door heard the commotion and came over to chat.
She and Mr. Wen were newlyweds, sticking together like Siamese twins at all times. Having been apart for most of the day, she missed him terribly.
At this moment, seeing the couple sitting together, whispering to each other, everyone couldn't help but smile.
The couple looked up and saw the strange expressions on everyone's faces, they couldn't help but blush.
Elder Li hurriedly said, “Didn’t you say you wanted to invite Doctor Zhang to take your pulse and check your body It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now. Why don't we invite Doctor Zhang over to take a look We can keep him for dinner tonight.”
"Okay, thank you, aunt," Cui Jinrou nodded.
"There's nothing to thank me for, we're all family." Old Mrs. Li patted her hand and then loudly called Zheng Feng over to run an errand.
Doctor Zhang arrived promptly, without delay.
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si didn't want to be present, so they made up an excuse to avoid it. Only Mr. and Mrs. Wen, the old woman, and Jia Yin, who loves to stir things up, remained.
Dr. Zhang's words were sharp, but his medical skills were excellent. Since it was a family member seeking treatment, he paid special attention to the pulse diagnosis this time.
Mr. Wen's husband and wife both had their wrists examined by him.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen were both nervous, after all they weren't young anymore, it wasn't easy to have a child...
Even Mrs. Li, was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Fortunately, Zhang Shenyi pondered for a moment and said, "Fortunately, although there are some problems, they are not serious. With a few months of conditioning, she should be able to get pregnant."
“Uncle Zhang…” Mr. Wen wanted to ask if it was true, but he only managed to utter a greeting before his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
"Just relax!" Zhang Shenyi waved his hand, shoving two calming pills into their mouths. "What are you worried about With me around, any problem is solvable. Besides, you guys aren't even seriously ill!
“The Jinyou Palace is cold, take two months of medicine soup to adjust. Mr. Wen doesn't even need to take medicine. I'll give you a prescription for tonic food. Drink more soup later, replenish your kidney qi, and there will be good news in a year and a half!”
“Oh, that’s wonderful!” Li Laotai clapped her hands excitedly. “After hardship comes sweetness, this is what after hardship comes sweetness! Hurry up and listen to Zhang Shenyi’s words, don’t worry about the boy and girl, hurry up and have one, they are all your reliance for the second half of your life.”
Mr. Wen nodded vigorously, while Cui Jinrou couldn't help but wipe away her tears.
Back then, she and Fu Qirong had been married for two years without a child. She was already anxious and worried, so she sought out many doctors, but they all said her body was fine, but she just couldn't get pregnant.
Later, when her father passed away, Fu Qingrong, that calculating person, felt the Cui family was no longer useful to him and became cold towards her. He even started taking concubines.
She stormed out to live alone in a villa outside the city and decided she didn't want to get pregnant or have children anymore.
Now that she and her senior brother are finally married, the warmth of the Wen family is even more pronounced. She longs to give her senior brother a child even more.
Thus, with the presence of children to fill the void left by family ties, my senior brother's sorrow wouldn't be so profound.
Unfortunately, she was getting older and always worried that her body wouldn't allow it.
At this moment, with the affirmation from the divine physician, a large stone fell from her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Mr. Wen understood his wife's mixed emotions and, holding her hand, knelt down together with Zhang the divine physician. "Many thanks, Uncle Zhang," he said.
"Get up!" Master Zhang pulled them up impatiently, saying, "You're all family! What's with all the kneeling You gave birth to a child, you should call me grandpa at least! I helped out, isn't that what family does!"
Mr. and Mrs. Wen then got up, sat back down, and continued to hold hands, their excitement evident.
At this moment, Li Zhensheng returned from the town and led Li La Er and Li Lao Si, who were talking in the courtyard, into the room. Upon hearing the good news, they all expressed their congratulations to Mr. Wen and his wife, making the room lively for a while.
Old Li hurried to prepare dinner, "Tomorrow Lao Si will also be going back to the wharf with the Marquis. Let's have a good meal tonight and celebrate."
Li Zhensheng laughed and said, "Just in time, I brought some fish and shrimp back. It's hard work for my sister-in-law to stew them, so let's have a drink together."
People chatted idly, and in the kitchen, there was a constant sizzle of frying, stir-frying, and boiling. As night fell, it was time for dinner.
Uncle Zhao said a few moments ago that he was going to patrol the melon field at night and wouldn't be able to come for drinks.
So, they sent them some food.
It's also the side of Hui-niang and Liu's wife, who got a plate of braised shrimp.
They are all breastfeeding, feeding their children, and need to replenish their bodies.
Jia Yin sat beside her grandmother, eating obediently and listening to the adults talking. She smiled occasionally, looking just like she did on any other day.
But after dinner, she said she was tired and wanted to go to sleep.
Li Lao Tai immediately called for He Mama to take her granddaughter back to the backyard. Finally, she asked everyone, "Was Funi naughty today Why is she a little downcast"
Everyone was surprised, and Li Lao'er replied: "No, this child is very clever. Today he made the honored guest very happy and even got a candy shop for Fu Niuer."
"That's right," Li Laosì also said, "I carry everything up and down the mountains. I haven't encountered any snakes or insects, so it's impossible to be scared."
When asked, Old Li waved her hand and said, “Eat. I guess she's just tired from playing. This child doesn't keep things to herself; if she’s unhappy about something, she'll definitely tell me.”
Everyone also laughed and talked about other trivial matters. Finally, after eating their fill, they dispersed.
Li Laotai said on her mouth that she didn't need to worry, but her feet didn't stop for a moment. She went straight to the backyard.
Grandma He was in the sitting room, mending by the oil lamp. Seeing the old woman approach, she whispered, "Madam, Miss has gone to sleep."
"Really asleep" Li Laotai became even more worried and quietly opened the door to peek inside.
By the faint light filtering in from the moonlight outside, she could see quite clearly.
Little granddaughter slept soundly, arms and legs spread out.
She finally eased her worry and whispered to He Mamá, "You should get some rest early too, and stay alert at night."
"Yes, Madam," He Mam responded and escorted the old mistress to the next room. Then she picked up her needlework basket and fell asleep quietly.
She didn't know that inside the room, Jiayin who was originally fast asleep slowly opened her eyes. In the next instant, the whole person vanished.
In the small courtyard, the chickens, ducks, geese, fat pigs, and rabbits that had been hungry all day finally saw their master appear. They were all clamoring and protesting incessantly, stretching their necks to complain.
Jia Yin tossed some cabbages to one person and arranged food for another. After finally finishing all the work, she went to the seedling nursery.
The little green snake in the cage hanging from a tree had already lost all hope for life.
Even when "the little devil" walked up to him, he wouldn't even raise his head.
But then, unexpectedly, the little imp had a change of heart and suddenly shoved two eggs into its hand!
The little green snake was ecstatic, afraid that the little devil would go back on his word. It swallowed one whole, choking to death and too scared to spit it out.aster.Having someone familiar with court etiquette and rules around her son would allow her and her whole family to rest easy.The steward of the Hou Mansion was left to eat lunch before returning to t...
