All the grain and grass sent to Xirong was transported by water, and the guards led 27,000 people and transported more than 1,200 ships. It seems like God bless Dayan, this journey went very smoothly, most of the ships sailed with the wind, and it only took more than a month to reach the Shanchuan area.
Even so, it was still too much for Chu Yu. Perhaps it was because of the twins that she had a strong reaction during pregnancy. I thought it would be better to travel by water than by road, at least not too bumpy. Clinker Chu Yu still couldn't bear the long journey, couldn't swallow food, and vomited violently. Fortunately, Duo has lethargy and barely holds on.
After walking for dozens of days, Chu Yu started to have a low-grade fever, and because she was pregnant, it was difficult to take medicines, and she almost lost her fetal gas several times. A pair of young servants took care of him personally.
Qiuyue was getting old, Chu Yu didn't dare to delay her anymore, and tried to persuade her several times in private, but she just said that she only wanted to serve the second master. Come and go again and again, but no one is allowed. Chu Yu didn't understand Qiuyue's thoughts, but he couldn't answer her at all, and couldn't bear to see her lonely in this life.
After this farewell, I hope Qiuyue can give up a little bit of obsession, so as not to miss her again. Chu Yu deliberately selected two smart and sensible young people for promotion. It is good that more young people come out to see the world.
One of these two teenagers is called Chang Ping and the other is Chang An. They are exactly twin brothers. It was also a good sign, and Chu Yu hoped that the two in her womb would also be born safely.
In the cabin.
"Second Master." Chang An pushed the door open and came in, seeing that Chu Yu was rarely asleep, but was leaning on the bedside thinking about something.
Chu Yu pressed his forehead, and said, "Chang An, open that window a bit more, it's so boring."
"It's windy outside, Second Lord, take care to catch the cold." Chang An said, still opened the window a little, and quickly pulled up the brocade quilt that had slipped from Chu Yu's body to his waist.
Chu Yu covered her lips and coughed a few times, her hands on the top of her stomach tightened.
Chang An quickly followed Chu Yu's back, and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead: "Second Lord is still hot, take another dose of medicine later."
Chu Yu shook her head, barely suppressed her cough, and said, "No, it's better to use less of that medicine..."
Chang An glanced at Chu Yu's hand that was still resting on his stomach, and said worriedly: "Second Master is feeling uncomfortable, and the young master is making trouble with you again?"
"It's good..." Chu Yu's brows stretched a little, and she pressed her palm against Gao Long's stomach to feel the fetal movement inside, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "It can be a lot of tossing all day long."
Chang An wrinkled his bun-like face: "But how can the second master's body bear it?"
Chu Yu smiled, supported her waist and said, "It's done, Master Fu gets up and walks, my bones hurt after lying down for a whole day."
Chang An hurried over to give Chu Yu a hand, and firmly supported Chu Yu.
Chu Yu supported her waist with one hand and her heavy stomach with the other, and barely straightened up. He used to have an injury on his lower back, and now the burden of the two children has brought out the old injury, and the pain is really excruciating.
After finally moving to the window, Chu Yu pushed open the window and saw the setting sun, the afterglow sprinkled on the lake, like a layer of broken gold. It is also like the stars falling all over the ground, reflecting the red clouds in the distance like fire, and the returning geese flying together, it is too beautiful to behold.
With a long horn, the ship has docked.
"Hey, today is the day to park for supplies." Chang An said.
Chu Yu brushed away his messy long hair, closed the window and said, "It just so happens that we also go ashore for a walk."
Chang An was taken aback, and quickly grabbed Chu Yu's hand: "Second master can't do it."
"Why not?" Chu Yu raised his eyebrows and asked back.
Chang An jumped anxiously: "No, no, there are a lot of people on the pier, what if we meet the second master?"
"Then bring more people to follow." Chu Yu didn't take it seriously, and said, "I've been nesting on the boat for so many days, don't you want to go down and take a look?"
Chang An's face flushed, and he said sullenly: "But...but..."
Chu Yu knew that most teenagers at this age liked to play, so she probably teased, "But what, why don't you worry about following the master."
Chang An wrinkled Baozi's face: "The one who is worried is the master. If you let your brother know, you must scold me."
Chu Yu glanced at him sideways: "Have you been scolded by Chang Ping too often? This meal is too short? Hurry up and wait for the master to change his clothes. When it gets dark later, the master will not take you if you want to go out."
"Hey, master, be careful, watch your waist..." Chang An took off his robe and light fur, and wrapped Chu Yu tightly.
…
Now that they have reached the Shaanxi area, the pier is bustling with activity.
Chu Yu was wrapped in a thin white fox fur, and she walked slowly with her waist supported. Chang An had been hesitant to come out just now, but now her eyes are rolling around, it is not enough to see.
The old man who trained the monkeys, the vendor with gadgets, and the man who beat the cakes all came and went with shouts, which dazzled people. Chu Yu was followed by a lot of guards, their eyes were fixed on him, for fear that something might happen to the delicate and expensive Second Master Chu.
Chu Yu was tired from walking, so she chose a small noodle stall to sit down.
Although the noodle stall is small, it is clean. The little man was a little low, and Chu Yu felt uncomfortable sitting because of his heavy body, so he simply spread his legs and hugged his stomach to sit still. Seeing that Chang An was gasping for air, he circled around him.
The noodle sellers are a couple, one is responsible for rolling the noodles and the other is responsible for cooking them. The two of them were startled when they saw Chu Yu, but they didn't come back to their senses for a long time. There are people coming and going from south to north on the pier. But it looks so outstanding, but I have never seen it before.
"What would you like to eat?" The noodle seller stepped forward and wiped the already clean table carefully three times, for fear of dirtying the corners of the nobleman's white clothes.
Chu Yu smiled back and said, "Two bowls of plain noodles."
"Hey, okay, my lord, wait a moment." The man responded.
The woman kneading the dough was obviously not as taciturn as her man, she looked at Chu Yu and said with a smile: "Your nobleman has a body, how can you just eat this! You can eat enough, but the baby in your belly can't be full."
Chu Yu bent the corners of her lips, rubbed her waist and said, "Don't get dirty."
"Then lay a poached egg on it, it's not a bit meaty." The woman said cheerfully.
Chu Yu nodded: "Alright."
Seeing that the nobleman agreed, the woman felt happy and looked at her man proudly. The man smiled honestly, his eyes were full of tolerance, as if he had long been used to his daughter-in-law's outspoken appearance.
"The nobleman's stomach is pointed forward, and there is no flesh on the waist. This baby is probably a boy." The woman said with a smile.
Chu Yu really looked down carefully: "Huh? I can't see it."
The woman kneaded the noodles quickly, and the noodles she threw out were thin and long. While pulling the noodles neatly, she said: "Of course you can't see it that way, but I can see it right. The nobleman is waiting to get a young master." Right. Looking at it like this, it must be seven or eight months, right?"
Chu Yu laughed, but this time she guessed wrong. He rubbed his belly with one hand, and said, "It's only six months."
"Yo, this doll looks really good." The woman said.
Chang An interjected from the side: "My grandfather's baby is twins."
"The nobleman is very lucky, but it is hard to conceive. The nobleman sees that his body is weak, so he must be careful."
Chu Yu nodded with a smile.
"The nobleman came out by himself? Where's your man?"
Chu Yu looked into the distance and said softly, "It's at the border."
The couple at the noodle stall looked at each other, and the woman said, "Your Excellency, are you going to the border? It's not peaceful there, and your body is heavy."
"I want his father to be able to see the child." Chu Yu said.
The woman sighed: "It's true, it's too difficult for me to bear the matter of giving birth to a baby. I always think that the guy at home can be by my side, so I can feel at ease."
The man glanced at the woman, and the love in his eyes was even stronger.
Chu Yu lowered her eyes, feeling a little envious for no reason.
"Your gentleman must be a great military master, right?" The woman was determined, otherwise how could she be worthy of the snow-carved beauty in front of her.
Chu Yu called Qin Zheng, with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, he is the most amazing man in the world."
The woman smiled, and subconsciously glanced at the taciturn man beside her. This is always the case in the hearts of those who love each other. He is heaven, earth, a hero, and a unique existence.
"Come here—"
The steaming hot noodles are bright and white, and they look the same in thickness, with emerald onion strands scattered on the noodles like blue silk. The snow-white egg lay on top, and when the tip of the chopsticks poked it lightly, the runny heart flowed out. Take a bite of the noodles, the taste is strong and the aroma is tangy.
Chang An wished he could bite off the tip of his tongue, and whimpered, "Okay, it's a good time... better than the noodles cooked by the chef in the house..."
"Tsk, beware of choking. If you don't know, you think the master is harsh on the servants." Chu Yu laughed at Chang An. Soup was not spared.
After eating noodles and resigning from the stall owner and his wife, Chu Yu boarded the boat with a full stomach.
Standing on the bow of the boat, facing the breeze, the water waves are calm.
Seeing the bright moon rising from the sea level, Chu Yu raised his eyes. The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds. The wind blows tens of thousands of miles across the Yumen Pass. The rest of the journey is not far away, and every day I travel, I am one step closer to him.
Chu Yu looked at the moon and felt lovesick for a while.
