Fu Tingye feels that face is very important for a man. If he lowers his head this time, he will not be able to regain his dignity when he gets married in the future!
But it’s been like this, is it interesting
The guards in the other courtyard are all his, and he knows exactly what Hua Qingxue does every day.
After learning that Hua Qingxue went to the Lu family, Fu Tingye couldn't sit still.
Although Lu Zhengqing was already married, his delicate relationship with Hua Qingxue gave General Fu a strong sense of crisis.
What was she doing at Lu's house at this juncture
Fu Tingye was sitting in the study, unable to read a single word of the book in his hand. His mind was filled with scenes of Hua Qingxue and Lu Zhengqing having a happy conversation!
Do you want to visit Lu's house
He was full of confusion.
At this time, the guard outside came to report that the cousin was here.
Fu Tingye frowned, unhappy that Cheng Wanmiao came to the study from time to time.
The guard reported: "My cousin said that the old lady is not feeling well and asked the general to come over."
Mrs. Fu has been in poor health these days. She sees doctors every day and takes decoctions every day. She also likes to drag Fu Tingye to reminisce about the past, which makes Fu Tingye very annoyed.
He is a rough-and-tumble person, and he knows very well that Mrs. Fu has no feelings for him at all, but she doesn't understand why she goes to all the trouble to play the trick of being a loving mother and a filial son with him
Are you really in your twilight years and want to make some amends
Fu Tingye went out and saw Cheng Wanmiao standing at the door of the outer courtyard of the study. She was dressed in apricot yellow, bright and moving, but her eyelashes were covered with crystal tears, as if she had just cried, a beautiful woman weeping, which arouses pity.
"Cousin, please go and see your aunt..." Cheng Wanmiao's voice was soft and choked, "My aunt has a tight chest and a headache. She didn't sleep well last night and refused to take medicine today. What should I do if this continues? …”
Logically speaking, he should be grateful that Cheng Wanmiao took care of his mother's illness for him, but Fu Tingye really didn't like crying women.
He glanced at Cheng Wanmiao irritably, frowned and strode forward.
Cheng Wanmiao did not wait for a word of comfort, and became more and more aggrieved. She bit her lip and trotted to keep up with Fu Tingye.
—Mrs. Fu’s room exudes a strong medicinal fragrance.
She didn't know whether she was pretending to be sick for a long time and was really sick, or whether she was angry because of the vacant title. Mrs. Fu actually showed signs of decay on her face, her face was sallow and gloomy, and her eyes were filled with black and blue.
The soup on the table was obviously completely cold, and there was no trace of heat at all.
Fu Tingye glanced at the untouched medicine and sighed, "Why is this, mother?"
"It doesn't make any difference whether you drink it or not. In that case, why bother letting yourself taste the bitter taste..." Mrs. Fu sighed and looked up at Fu Tingye, "You have to look at my old bones."
Cheng Wanmiao came in behind, and Fu Tingye said to her: "Take the medicine and heat it up."
Mrs. Fu stopped them and said, "Bring it here, it will make it even more painful if it's hot."
Cheng Wanmiao took the medicine and took two mouthfuls with a spoon. Mrs. Fu slowly waved her hand and stopped drinking.
Fu Tingye said: "Mother should take care of herself."
"Well, I know you are filial, so you don't have to worry about me." Mrs. Fu asked him, "Is there any progress in Wan Miao's matter?"
Fu Tingye replied: "Mom, don't be anxious. I have already given the order. There should be news in the next few days."
Cheng Wanmiao felt a little uncomfortable, "My cousin is busy with work, why would my aunt bother my cousin with such a thing... I, I don't want to get married..."
The old lady shook her head and spoke slowly, "Auntie can't bear to let you go, but there is no reason for a woman not to marry... My only wish now is to choose a good husband for you and ask him to take good care of you, so that you can rest assured. …”
After talking for a while, the old lady got a little tired and waved her hand: "Tingye, send your cousin back to rest. She has been waiting for me these days and barely slept at night. Don't make her sick from exhaustion."
It is difficult to refuse the request of a sick mother.
"Mother, have a good rest." Fu Tingye led Cheng Wanmiao away.
Mrs. Fu watched the two people walk out, then called a maid with an expressionless face and threw away the remaining bowl of medicine.
The medicine she drinks these days is to calm her nerves and help her sleep, but the medicine is only 30% poisonous. No one wants to drink medicine every day.
…
On the way, Fu Tingye asked Cheng Wanmiao: "Why is my mother so sick? You can't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. If it doesn't get better, I'll ask the imperial doctor."
Cheng Wanmiao lowered her head and replied: "I have had several doctors, and they all said that my aunt has a heart disease and has been suffering from depression... I think it is because of my affairs that I have made my aunt worry about it."
Fu Tingye nodded and said calmly: "You have been raised in the Hou Mansion since you were a child, and you have a deep relationship with your mother. It is only natural for your mother to think more about you."
"My aunt is also very worried about my cousin." Cheng Wanmiao stopped and looked at Fu Tingye with full eyes. "If my cousin has free time on weekdays, please come and visit your aunt more often. My aunt actually... cares about you very much. She always cares about you every day. Tell me about you."
Fu Tingye was silent for a while and did not answer directly. He only said: "I know."
…
Hua Qingxue took a carriage to Lu's house.
Lu Zhengqing and Luo Muyu came out to greet them in person. Hua Qingxue left the guards outside the door and followed them in alone, carrying a gift box.
This time there was no elaborate preparation of the hot pot, it was a table of delicacies prepared by the newly hired cook at home. Not only that, Hua Qingxue also found that Luo Muyu had two more maids by her side.
Compared with the last visit, the Lu family has more servants this time.
Lu Zhengqing said he had something to show Hua Qingxue and went to the back room. Only Hua Qingxue and Luo Muyu were left talking in the main room.
Luo Muyu put a hand on his lower abdomen and said with some embarrassment: "My husband has not allowed me to cook these days. He is afraid that I will be tired, so I bought some servants..."
Hua Qingxue's eyes fell on Luo Muyu's abdomen, and she murmured in disbelief: "So soon..."
It seems that last time I said I was starting to prepare for pregnancy...
Luo Muyu's face turned red and his voice sounded like a mosquito: "Actually, it started last month..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Muyu realized that he was talking about such a private matter and was so embarrassed that he shut up.
Hua Qingxue smiled understandingly, "It's normal. You two are both in good health. Doctor Lu is a doctor. He must know your ovulation period every month, so your chances of getting pregnant are certainly very high."
But it’s really enviable…
Hua Qingxue looked at the sweetness on Luo Muyu's face and felt that it was great to be loved by a man since she was a girl. The husband and wife followed each other, and she didn't have any worries after so many years.
In an era when women's status was humble and low, Luo Muyu was really lucky to meet Lu Zhengqing.
Hua Qingxue thought about it and felt that she was being narrow-minded again.
Luo Muyu was lucky to meet Lu Zhengqing, but it had little to do with the times. Even in modern times, there are many scumbags...
As she was thinking this, she unconsciously thought of Fu Tingye.
In fact... Fu Tingye is quite good, although he is a bit chauvinistic, overbearing, unreasonable, and interferes in her life without authorization. He is too conservative and values a woman's reputation, and always shows disdain for her relationship with Li Jingnan...
Hua Qingxue felt a little resentful. Sure enough, after a couple quarrels, when they think of each other again, all bad things happen.
The two chatted for a while about the child.
When asked if the other party's parents knew about it, Luo Muyu said: "I'm just pregnant now, and he won't let me tell my family."
"That's right." Hua Qingxue nodded, "If your parents knew about it, they would definitely be worried about coming to take care of you. It's a long way to go, and it's almost winter. It's not easy to walk on the road. It's better to wait until spring begins."
Luo Muyu's expression became tense, "He said he would tell his parents after giving birth."
"Ah? Isn't it too late?" Hua Qingxue thought that Lu Zhengqing was too cautious.
"My husband said that many customs during confinement are wrong. He...he said that he would personally serve me during confinement. If my parents arrive early, there will inevitably be disputes." Luo Muyu bit his lip, feeling happy and worried at the same time. The only person who can talk to her is Hua Qingxue.
If it were for other things, Luo Muyu would have chosen to trust her husband without even thinking about it. However, confinement confinement was a woman's business after all, and the traditional thinking was deeply rooted, so Luo Muyu could not help but feel a little unsure.
Hua Qingxue suddenly understood and burst out laughing.
Are all doctors so attentive? The child had just been conceived, and Lu Zhengqing had already thought about confinement!
"That's what happened." Hua Qingxue smiled and nodded, "You are pregnant now, and when you give birth, it should be July or August next year. According to your customs, no matter how hot it is, you can't bathe or wash your hair during confinement. In fact, This is wrong. You should insist on cleaning it every day to prevent the growth of bacteria while ensuring that you don’t catch a cold.”
Seeing that Hua Qingxue said similar words to her husband, Luo Muyu felt relieved and sighed: "Miss Hua, do all the people there do confinement like this? Can you take a bath every day? You don't have to lie down all the time. exist**?"
"Yes, we also have a special confinement center there, which is a place specially designed to take care of postpartum mothers." Hua Qingxue thought for a moment and then said, "However, some remote places still follow the old tradition and have postpartum mothers During the summer confinement period, my mother-in-law refused to open the window or turn on the air conditioner. In the end, she died of heat stroke... "
Luo Muyu was taken aback, "... will it be hot... to death from the heat?"
Hua Qingxue smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lu is a doctor. He should see more babies than me. In fact, every winter, many newborn babies are sent to the hospital for rescue due to heatstroke."
"Heatstroke in winter? How is that possible?" Luo Muyu asked in surprise.
Just then, Lu Zhengqing came in from the outside and continued: "It's not surprising. The nervous system of a newborn baby is not fully developed, and the function of the sweat glands on the body surface is immature. It is normal for the hands and feet to be cold, but the parents mistakenly think that the baby is cold and keep adding layers of clothes. A quilt that is too thick will not only affect the movement of the limbs, but will also cause high fever and hypoxia, and heat stroke will happen sooner or later."
Luo Muyu's face turned pale, and he covered his abdomen with one hand, looking nervous.
Lu Zhengqing sighed softly, walked over and held her hand, and whispered: "I don't want to scare you. When I was an intern in the hospital, I saw too many such tragedies, so I want to take care of her in my own way. You, take care of our children, okay? When my parents come, I will explain to them myself."
Luo Muyu looked at him with nostalgia and nodded.
