Chunfeng sat beside the bed, checking his pulse for a long time with a solemn expression, and his eyes became heavier.
After a while, she stood up and said to her grandfather and uncle beside her.
"Uncle Grandpa, I'm afraid Grandma's situation is going to be bad this time. Although it's not good, it's fine in the past few days. Why don't I send all the people in the yard back first? It's not good for Grandma if there are too many people here."
"Okay, I'll let them all go back."
When uncle He Renyu heard this, his eyes turned a little redder, but he still turned around and walked toward the door, followed by his aunt.
Then the people in the inner room gradually receded, leaving only old Guo Gong and Luo Hua couple. The spring breeze supported his mother, He, and stood quietly beside the bed.
"Grandma, don't be too sad. In fact, grandma is in pain right now..."
Chunfeng didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only tell the truth from the perspective of a doctor.
"Hey, I know all this. You all should go out first. I want to be alone with your grandmother for a while."
When the old man heard this, he still lowered his eyelids and waved his hands very lowly.
"Okay, my grandson is right outside the door. Grandpa can just call if anything happens."
Seeing that his grandfather was in a different mood, He Luohua asked worriedly.
"go Go... "
The old Duke nodded heavily and waved again.
Chunfeng and others quietly exited the old lady's master bedroom one by one, and listened through the door. It seemed that chattering voices were constantly coming from inside the house.
After listening for a while and confirming that grandfather's mood was relatively stable, Chunfeng followed everyone to the front hall.
The old man left He Luohua alone to guard the place.
As soon as she entered the main hall, Chunfeng Niang couldn't help but ask: "Feng'er, your grandmother, is there really nothing you can do?"
He's tears were rolling, and she didn't dare let them fall until she heard the exact answer from her daughter.
It seems that when that drop of tear falls, some things will settle.
"Mom, don't be too sad. Life and death are a fate that neither of us can escape."
Chunfeng looked at his mother's almost begging look, but had no choice but to tell the truth.
"But..." Chunfeng Niang couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
On the side, He Renyu, as a grown man, couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.
With red eyes, Mrs. Chen stepped forward and held her husband's hand, silently comforting him.
Seeing his loved ones leave, the people closest to him are in pain and sad but unable to do anything. This feeling makes Chunfeng feel very bad.
For a moment, it seemed like she had gone back to many years ago, when she saw batches of guards dying in front of her eyes, but she was helpless. The feeling was somewhat similar, but also somewhat different.
A strange feeling echoed in my heart, making Chunfeng's whole body feel heavy, and my whole heart felt sour.
Baili Mochen's big palm gently pulled him into his arms. He didn't say anything, but quietly kissed her hair, comforting her silently.
He could understand and sympathize with that feeling, even ten times more, so he felt sorry for his woman.
In the sunset evening when everyone was waiting, Chunfeng knew clearly in his heart that although his grandmother would not die soon, she would not die so soon. It would take ten days at most and five to seven days at least.
Therefore, after Chunfeng confessed, he took his mother's brother and left the Duke's Mansion first. After sending his brother He mother back to Mingzhu Mansion, Chunfeng and his wife returned to the palace.
The first thing Chunfeng did after returning home was to pick up a pen and paper and write a reply to the eldest sister.
The content of the letter contains a mix of joy and sorrow. Considering that the eldest sister is pregnant, it should not be too exciting, so Chunfeng wrote it more reservedly.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the letter was sent out quickly, thinking that if I couldn't celebrate the festival, my eldest sister would receive the letter.
Although the situation in the Duke's Mansion is not good, the etiquette agreed upon by the Ji Mansion has not been forgotten and is still being carried out in an orderly manner.
The fact that the old lady was in poor health was naturally hidden from the outside world, so the Ji family didn't know about it, and they still walked out happily and politely.
After the three matchmakers and Liu Ping were gone, the next step was the engagement day.
Mrs. Ji went to Wenfo Temple outside the city to ask for a fortune, saying that there would be a good day to get married tomorrow spring and early March.
Thinking about it, there is still half a year left, which is not too long or too short, but a more suitable time.
According to ancient rules, if an elder in the family dies, the children and descendants will have to live for three years and are not allowed to get married.
However, since the Duke of Guo's residence belongs to Chunsheng's maternal family, he does not necessarily have to observe this etiquette.
"Hey, you said that my eldest sister is pregnant now. Will knowing this news have any impact?"
Chunfeng looked at the messenger's retreating figure, his eyes flashing with worry.
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Didn't you say that she is no longer the Chunyu she was before? And there is Lao Qi by her side, so I believe she will be fine."
Baili Mochen held her in his arms, completely wrapped her with his tall body, and whispered softly into her ear.
"I hope so. I hope that my eldest sister and the others will have a smooth journey, otherwise I don't know how I will worry."
Chunfeng sighed and pursed his lips.
"Well, it will go well." Baili Mochen said quietly.
Sure enough, as Chunfeng expected, the old lady only persisted for ten days, and finally gave up and left.
Suddenly, the Duke's Mansion was filled with sadness and he couldn't help but cry.
The white silk ribbons that had been prepared long ago were hung all over the Duke's Mansion overnight.
As soon as the news of the old lady's death spread, people from the entire Duke's Mansion came to express their condolences in an endless stream.
Even the Emperor and Queen Mother, who was over eighty years old in the palace, sent people to express their condolences, and the emperor even came in person today. This was the first funeral of such a high standard, except for the royal family.
The He family buried the old lady full of grief. The whole mansion was silent for a long time before the sadness slowly dissipated.
By the time Chunyu and his family hurried back all the way, it was already the old lady's first seven days.
Looking at the dark memorial tablet in the high hall, Chunyu felt sad. She actually didn't even deliver her grandmother's last flight.
After offering incense to the old lady sincerely and kowtowing three more times, Chun Yu was brought to the front yard by Baili Lingfeng.
She is now pregnant and should not be too sad, otherwise it will be detrimental to the mother and fetus.
Baili Lingfeng tried hard to adjust Chun Yu's mood, and even made all kinds of exaggerated and funny actions, making Yu Ling beside him bend forward and backward.
Seeing him working so hard, Chunyu finally said: "Don't worry, I'm fine. I can control my emotions. I'm just feeling a little emotional. You don't have to worry too much about me."
"Yu'er, you must know that there are many things in the world that we cannot escape, just like one day we will leave Ling'er and him, so don't think too much, cherish every day now, and live happily."
Baili Lingfeng held Chunyu's slightly swollen belly and comforted him softly.
Now Chunyu's belly is almost four months old. The second baby is always more pregnant than the first baby, so the belly has already swelled significantly.
"Well, cherish now..."
Chun Yu chuckled and nodded.
"Huh, daddy doesn't care about Ling'er now that he has a younger brother. I won't pay attention to you anymore. I'm going to go play with brother Lebao. A little bit... "
Baili Yuling, who was on the side, saw that the two people were getting tired of each other again, and found an excuse to escape. Before leaving, she didn't forget to make faces and stick out her tongue at the two people.
"This child is obviously sensible and wants to make room for us, yet he still finds such excuses." Chunyu said with amusement as she looked at her daughter's figure jumping happily.
"This stinky girl is haunted!" Baili Lingfeng also followed his wife's eyes and raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, Chunyu's belly was covered with spring rain again, and he taught his belly: "Xiaobao, don't imitate your sister in the future!"
"Haha, you're so young and you can't understand what you said."
Chun Yu raised a sweet smile and said coquettishly.
Seeing that she finally smiled, Baili Lingfeng finally felt relieved. He stayed in the Duke's Mansion for half a day, said a lot of words of comfort to the old Duke and his uncle, and gave them some rare things they had obtained from their travels these days. Things, then left the Duke's Mansion.
Long before returning to Beijing, Baili Mochen asked people to prepare a house for them in advance.
Now that their family comes back, they can live directly in it. All the servants inside are selected from the palace and served by the old man Baili Lingfeng.
Now that he is back in the palace that belongs to him, he feels like going home.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they wanted to catch up on old times.
That night, Chunfeng and Baili Mochen came to visit with their two children.
The two brothers met again after a long absence, and when they met they started to compare notes.
Baili Lingfeng improved a lot during his time away from home, and Baili Mochen naturally never slacked off.
After a competition, the fight was hearty and very enjoyable.
The two girls also had a lot of fun as soon as they met, and took Yunji around to visit the palace.
Only the two sisters Chunfeng were left.
"Sister, you seem to have gained some weight. Are your pregnancy reactions smaller this time than last time?"
Chunfeng looked at the eldest sister's round and pink cheeks and asked with a smile.
"Well, I feel better this time than last time. I hope this little guy comes out with peace of mind."
When she talked about the child in her belly, Chunyu's face gradually became filled with maternal love and tenderness.
"What kind of flavors does eldest sister like these days? There are a lot of fresh vegetables in my greenhouse recently. I'll ask someone to pick some and bring them over tomorrow."
Seeing that the eldest sister was happy, Chunfeng asked with a smile.
During pregnancy, there are mostly fresh vegetables and fruits, which are good for both the child and the mother.
"That's good. I'm not very picky about food these days. I just prefer spicy and sweet food."
Chunyu was very happy when she heard this.
In northern countries, the temperature is always lower than in the south, and it is always difficult to eat fresh green fruits and vegetables in late autumn and early winter.
It just so happens that she likes fruits and vegetables very much recently, so Chunfeng's suggestion is great.
"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it early tomorrow morning." Chunfeng agreed with a smile, and then asked: "This time, eldest sister and Lao Qi have been out for more than half a year. Did they encounter anything new?"
"There are some new things, but there are more weird things... "
Chunyu thought for a while and said with a smile on her lips.
"Oh, tell me, something weird?" Chunfeng asked with interest.
