Shen Zangfeng finally rejected Yena's request. The envoy from the Wugumeng tribe gave away a unique horse and a precious blood jade, and then returned empty-handed.
Not long after they left, Shen Zangfeng, who had already visited the area around Diecui Pass, returned to Xiliang City with his wife and niece. The weather was still cold when we came along this section, and even though spring had begun, the vegetation was not lush enough. At this time, the warmth is warm and the lush greenery is beginning to appear on the roadside.
Shen Shuyan's child had a temperament two days ago because Wei Changying forbade her to get close to "Chi Yan", and now she is pestering her aunt with questions and gossip. From time to time, he would ask the carriage to stop, or send the maid, or jump down to pick a few bouquets of wild flowers, or chase two butterflies. He even stopped by a stream for half an hour, used a needle as a hook, and caught a very fat carp.
Because her schedule was not urgent, she was young, and she was surrounded by close friends of the Shen family. The couple also watched with smiles, allowing her to enjoy herself as she pleased.
In this way, when they arrived at the inn where they took a break for the night, Shen Shuyan was shouting that she was going to make the carp she had caught. Wei Chang Yingzi obeyed her and ordered people to go to the kitchen to clean up.
Unexpectedly, the fish was cooked by the chef until it was so delicious that it was served. Wei Changying felt a sense of nausea for no reason. He was too anxious to say anything, so he stood up, took three steps at a time, and rushed outside. , leaning over the railing, I felt like vomiting!
Shen Zangfeng and Shen Shuyan, who were eating at the same table, were both startled. Shen Zangfeng hurriedly lifted the corner of his robe, chased after her and stroked her back, and asked anxiously: "What's going on?" Zhu Yi was already busy dismissing this moment. When I went to ask for a doctor, I didn't expect Wei Changying to vomit for a while, but he knew something about it. He waved his hand to Zhu Yi to slow down, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and whispered to Shen Zangfeng.
When Shen Zangfeng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He stretched out his hand to take her pulse. After a moment, he said with joy on his face: "It is indeed a Hua pulse!"
He is good at military strategy, his literary skills are only general, and his medical knowledge is even more superficial, but the Hua pulse can still be broken. Now that it was confirmed that my wife was pregnant again, I was really overjoyed! Ignoring my niece, I directly asked someone to remove the carp first. I asked Wei Changying if she didn't want to vomit anymore, and carefully helped her back to the table. At this time, Shen Shuyan was also startled by her aunt's sudden discomfort. Standing by the door at a loss, she did not say that her carp had been taken away.
Shen Zangfeng asked Wei Changying that he didn't feel any discomfort on the road, and still insisted on letting Zhu Yi listen to a doctor to diagnose Wei Changying... After all this busy work, the couple noticed their silent niece. He was huddled in the corner, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.
Guard Chief Ying Qiang summoned her to him and said with a smile, "Auntie was not feeling well just now, but did she scare you?"
Shen Shuyan felt aggrieved and worried: "What's wrong with aunt? Are you going to have a little cousin?"
"I don't know if he is your younger cousin or younger cousin." Because he already has an eldest son, Shen Shuguang, Wei Changying has no pressure on whether the second child is a boy or a girl, so he takes a sip at the moment. With a smile, she tapped her niece's pink cheek and coaxed, "It would be great if I were your little cousin. It would be great if my aunt could give birth to a daughter as cute as you!"
These words were originally meant to make Shen Shuyan happy and make her forget the indifference she felt when she was diagnosed just now. She didn't want Shen Shuyan to feel a little aggrieved before, but now she felt like she was about to burst into tears at any moment. She pouted and said: " A little cousin who is as cute as me? Doesn’t that mean my aunt doesn’t like me?”
"You are so jealous!" Wei Changying couldn't help but laugh, pinched the tip of her nose, and was about to comfort her, but Shen Zangfeng picked up Shen Shuyan first and said with a smile: "How could your aunt not like you? ? Even if you are as cute as Yan'er, who is as talented as Yan'er? "
Shen Shuyan's expression softened slightly and she said proudly: "Of course, even my eldest brother is not as talented as me!"
"Yes, yes, Yan'er is the smartest." Shen Zangfeng coaxed her for a while, because when she was on the way, Shen Shuyan often ran off the carriage and played by the roadside. Now she was tired, so she handed her over to the maid to take her to the house. .
After his niece left, Shen Zangfeng secretly wiped his sweat and said, "Did I say that right? Yan'er has such a big heart, it's better to teach her. At home, we can just give her a few words, and wait for her to come back." When she grows up and leaves the court, outsiders may not be willing to let her go. If she doesn’t teach her well now, she will suffer the consequences in the future, and it will be her family who will feel bad.”
Wei Changying had always doted on Shen Shuyan and was not very willing to force his little niece to change, but Shen Zangfeng was right. Shen Shuyan has always been like this and even her siblings are not willing to tolerate it. It will be difficult not to offend someone if she gets married in the future. At this moment, he sighed: "When I return to Xiliang City, I will discuss with my eldest sister to coax her."
The main thing to talk about tonight will definitely not be the teachings of his niece. Shen Zangfeng reached out and touched his wife's belly, his eyes focused and excited, and said: "I don't want us to have another child so soon!"
In fact, Shen Shuguang is three years old now. Even if the two children have the same mother, the age difference of three years is not very fast. But Shen Zangfeng went to the frontier less than a year after getting married, without even seeing his eldest son. After Wei Changying arrived in Xiliang, Shen Zangfeng was busy with official duties and had no time to spend more time with his wife. In the three years since they got married, except for their wedding day, they only had two days of free time. In order to take their niece to relax, the couple came to Diecuiguan to stay for a while.
However, this sojourn was occupied by Yana and Shen Yujia for quite some time...
After finally settling everything, they returned to Xiliang City. Suddenly, Wei Changying discovered that she was pregnant because of a pot of fish. The couple felt both sudden and happy.
Wei Changying opened his hand with a smile and said, "How can you feel it now? You are too impatient."
"I don't know if it's a boy or a girl this time." Shen Zangfeng bowed his head and kissed his wife, and said longingly, "If it's a girl, I don't want her to be like Yan'er, but you would be better off like Yinger."
"It doesn't matter if you look like anyone, as long as you are strong." Wei Changying pursed his lips and smiled, "If he is a boy, I guess nine times out of ten he will be like Guang'er. He can be said to be like you, but also like his father and me. Brother."
The couple was so excited about the good news that they couldn't sleep. They talked about their unborn child for most of the night. It was not until later that Shen Zangfeng was alarmed that a pregnant woman should rest well and forced Wei Changying to sleep, that the two of them reluctantly fell asleep.
When I got up the next day, the doctor who had been invited repeatedly assured that Chief Wei was fine and could continue on his journey. In addition, the inn was obviously not a suitable place for long-term fetal care. So Wei Changying continued to board the carriage, and Shen Zangfeng specially asked someone to take out the best new quilt from the inn and put it on him. He was afraid that the carriage would knock his wife over, so he repeatedly asked for more quilts until Wei Changying stopped him, dumbfounded. He said, "Don't you think it's too hot?" Then he stopped.
Due to Wei Changying's pregnancy, he could have followed Shen Shuyan's wishes and traveled all the way back, so he had to hurry back to Xiliang City and have the baby at the place where Ji Qubing and Huang were. It is the safest.
Shen Shuyan was definitely not happy about this, but Shen Zangfeng promised to take her to ride "Red Yan" when he returned to Xiliang. Shen Shuyan liked the big red horse very much, but after careful consideration, she happily agreed.
After rushing all the way back to Xiliang City, Mrs. Huang who was greeted at the door was overjoyed when she heard that Wei Changying was pregnant again. He hurriedly helped her out of the car and sent her to the back hall to rest.
Next, Mrs. Huang immediately checked Wei Changying's pulse, prescribed anti-fetal medicine, ordered people to fry it quickly, and ordered people to adjust the couple's inner room... The entire Mingpeitang was busy. All became lively.
Knowing that Wei Changying was pregnant again, every room in the Shen family sent congratulatory gifts, and several sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law of the same generation also made an appointment to come over and visit. Lian Jiyuan also expressed his intention and gave a mountain ginseng as a gift.
Seeing Ji Yuan's gift, Wei Changying started to worry about Ji Qubing's marriage again: "Does Aunt Huang have any clues these days?"
"Young lady, this happy event here is so happy that I forgot to tell you about it." Huang said with a beaming smile, "Shenji Doctor Ji was hired two days ago! She is the daughter of a family named Zhao in the east of the city. My name is Fuliu. I was born in the first half of this year. She is eighteen years old this year. She has pretty eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, pink lips and rosy cheeks. Although her family background is ordinary, her appearance is not ordinary. , He is a well-known neat person among his neighbors! After hearing this, Master Ji made the decision on the spot, and Doctor Ji didn’t say anything after seeing the portrait, so he accepted it!”
Ji Qubing has passed the age of knowing his destiny and is nearly sixty years old. Zhao Fuliu is only eighteen years old. It is said that marrying Ji Qubing would be extremely unfair. But because Ji Qubing is a well-known doctor in the country, no one thinks so, even the Zhao family themselves: "The Zhao family was really overjoyed when they heard that the official media came to talk about marriage, and they were so busy that they agreed. This is also their luck. Well, it happened that Divine Doctor Ji had focused on medical science in his early years and had no time to care about marriage. Now, Father Ji is recuperating in Xiliang and has to worry about this life-long matter for him. Otherwise, Divine Doctor Ji would be in the imperial capital, and how many wealthy families would be there. Can the young lady get married? How could it be the turn of the Zhao family, who only have a few dozen acres of farmland in total?"
When Wei Changying heard that it was done, he was very satisfied: "You can also make up for the congratulatory gift for me later."
"On the day the Ji family hired me, my maid sent people to send congratulatory gifts in the name of the young lady." Huang said with a smile, "Young lady, don't worry."
With the shrewd Huang in charge of the overall situation, Wei Changying can really rest assured.
In addition, Shen Shuxi gradually grew stronger after arriving in Xiliang. Shen Zangzhu, who was originally worried about her, felt relieved after her health. When he learned that his sister-in-law was pregnant again, he immediately took Shen Shuyan back to the yard. , someone told Wei Changying, and Shen Shuyan followed her, telling Wei Changying not to worry about entertaining her niece.
Wei Changying burst out laughing when he saw this formation, and said to his left and right: "I'm still brisk now, but everyone makes me look like a glazed man."
The maids laughed and said she was blessed.
Months passed by in a blink of an eye, and Wei Changying was pregnant. Even though he was wearing a chest-length skirt, his bulging belly could be seen. And Mr. He also gave birth to a daughter safely - even though it was just a daughter, it still made Jiang Zheng, who had been alone for most of his life, very happy. After the celebration, he drank water and thought about his source, and remembered the apprentice Zhu Lei who had brought him and Mr. He together. While Shen Zangfeng also sent a letter to the Imperial Capital, he also brought a letter with him, asking his acquaintances in the Imperial Capital to help him transfer to Youyan, so that Zhu Lei could return to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, and they would also have a reunion when Shen Zangfeng returned to Beijing in the second half of the year. .
