Chapter 57 If Pregnant

After working for a whole morning, Xie Yunshuo ordered a table full of dishes.

He has been busy lately and hasn't had a meal at home for a long time. Today he is in a good mood, has put in a lot of effort, and is in high spirits.

Just as he picked up the golden chopsticks, his wrist paused.

"Qiu Ze, go get me a jar of wine. I need a couple of drinks to liven things up today."

Jiang Si took the bowl and chopsticks and teased him, "You still want to cheer for the party like this? How high do you want to cheer for the party? Like a city defense sentry?"

Xie Yunshuo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Higher than the sky."

Qiu Ze responded and was about to get some wine when Jiang Si suddenly had an idea and stopped him.

"Qiu Ze, there's no rush. Wu Chan, go check on the osmanthus wine I buried earlier. It should be drinkable. Bring him a jar."

Although it is only a month old, flower wine is not pure wine. It becomes more fragrant as it ages. As long as the flowers are fully ripe and have fragrance, they will taste sweet in the throat.

It is not good to soak it for longer than that, the maximum time is three months.

Hearing her mention the wine she had brewed before, Xie Yunshuo became even more excited.

"Yes, I forgot about this. Give me the first jar of wine you brewed."

He still remembered how Jiang Si had refused to give him anything, and how he was blamed for fighting for a piece of osmanthus cake.

When I think about it, I still feel a little scared.

Fortunately, the couple's life is getting better and better now. They have put aside their past grudges and gradually become one...

No, they gradually became united and lived a good life.

Now that I think about it, the fortune teller was right. The two of them are truly a match made in heaven.

Although he had never married another woman, Xie Yunshuo had a strong intuition that if he married someone else, it would be difficult for her to make him deeply involved and focused like Jiang Si.

Being as plain as water is certainly the norm in the world and is praised by others as a good thing.

But one thing conquers another, which touches people's hearts and causes their moods to fluctuate.

Just like trekking through mountains and rivers, with difficulties and obstacles, the final climb to the top becomes so precious.

As he thought about it, his smile widened.

Jiang Si stared at him and asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking about alone?"

She didn't notice that since when, even when she was angry with him, she always smiled.

Xie Yunshuo stared at her and smiled, his heart itching: "Do you want to know?"

Jiang Si nodded.

"I won't tell you." She glared at him.

Xie Yunshuo seemed to have some strange habit, and was actually amused by being glared at.

At the right time, a jar of wine was brought over. Xie Yunshuo took it, opened the seal, held the jar, closed his eyes and smelled it carefully.

The aroma of the wine is mixed with the fragrance of osmanthus, with a hint of sweetness from pear, and it has a rich and fragrant aroma.

“It’s really good wine.”

He lifted the jar and poured wine, offering the first cup with both hands to Jiang Si.

As if to apologize: "Don't be angry, I'll tell you at night."

Jiang Si didn't take him seriously. She knew he was teasing her on purpose and that he had good intentions.

She took the wine cup, held it in her hand without moving, and waited for Xie Yunshuo to pour his own.

He said he was drinking to liven up the atmosphere, but in fact he was just in a good mood and was using the object to express his emotions.

Jiang Si looked at him.

When Xie Yunshuo was happy, his eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were full of affection, and there seemed to be a little bit of light in them.

As Xie Yunshuo drank her osmanthus wine, he exclaimed, "This is really good wine. I've never tasted such a fragrant osmanthus wine. It has no bitterness at all."

He praised the osmanthus wine as the best in the world.

Jiang Si laughed at him: "How can it be so good? Don't love the whole family and lose justice."

She had hidden a trap for him in her words, but Xie Yunshuo didn't notice it.

After all, she was right.

It is true that love for the house extends to the dog.

He just said, "No, it tastes good."

Just as Jiang Si was about to take her second sip, Zhen, who had heard about this, hurried in from outside to apologize, leaned over, and whispered something in Jiang Si's ear.

Jiang Si put down the wine cup and stopped drinking.

Xie Yunshuo asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Si coughed lightly and reminded him, "If you are pregnant, drinking alcohol is not a good idea."

Xie Yunshuo paused while holding the wine cup, and then he seemed to gradually recover from his stiff state, his eyes widened and his wrist trembled.

Jiang Si was puzzled. It was just a precaution to prevent injury, so why did he react so strongly?

He asked in disbelief, his voice trembling in his throat: "Are you pregnant?"

Jiang Si knew that he might have heard it wrong, which was why he had such a strange reaction.

"How much did you drink? You're already drunk? You misheard me. It said 'if pregnant', not 'already pregnant'."

Zhen had given birth before and knew that it was not good to drink alcohol while pregnant, so she came to remind her just in case.

Advise Jiang Si to drink less.

Xie Yunshuo was inexperienced, and when he heard the word "pregnant", his mind went blank and he had a strong reaction, so he couldn't hear anything else.

Ignore the word "if".

After being reminded by Jiang Si, Xie Yunshuo slowly exhaled: "It's good that it's not. It's good that it's not."

Because he heard it wrong, he was so scared that he almost dropped the wine cup in his hand to the ground.

Jiang Si was suspicious and asked him, "What do you mean by 'it's okay if it's not'?"

Xie Yunshuo was stunned.

These were words he said subconsciously, and he himself hadn't even considered the reason yet. When Jiang Si asked, he put down his wine cup, thought carefully, and then explained word by word.

"If you're pregnant now, it's not the right time. We don't know when I'll return. Although my grandfather hopes to announce the good news before we go to war, it's not good for a woman to give birth without a husband by her side, and even to have no one to complain to. This is not good."

Jiang Si was surprised.

He actually thought of it so carefully?

"So you didn't expect me to get pregnant before you left for the war?"

Xie Yunshuo confessed the truth: "I hadn't thought about this before, so when I heard you mention the word pregnancy, I didn't know what to do."

No wonder he reacted like that just now, looking shocked and regretful, as if something bad had happened.

Jiang Si felt something was amiss: "Then why did you cooperate so fully with what I said that afternoon?"

"Well..." Xie Yunshuo was speechless for a moment.

It would be a bad idea to say it in front of the servants, because he liked the process. Jiang Si suggested that he should cooperate fully.

Since Jiang Si didn't want to drink anymore, Xie Yunshuo had to put down the wine cup with regret and ordered his men to seal the wine jar and put it back so that he could drink it after his triumphant return.

Afraid that the wine would be gone by the time he returned, he specifically reminded Jiang Si: "If you want to give wine to someone, please remember to leave two jars for me. Don't wait until I return and everything is gone."

Jiang Si ate the food, chewing it slowly and carefully. After swallowing it, she looked back at him expectantly.

"Half a jar is not enough for you to drink."

Xie Yunshuo immediately said, "It's not enough. You know I developed my drinking capacity in the military camp. I have a good drinking capacity, so how can half a jar be enough? Jiaoshan, go and take two jars of wine now and bury them behind my study. No, find a place only you know and bury it, and don't tell anyone."

His words immediately made all the servants in the room lower their heads and laugh.

How could the eldest son still do this, hiding the wine in front of his wife?

Jiang Si scolded him: "You are like a hunting dog guarding its food. If you can't finish eating the bones, you have to choose a place to bury them so that others won't worry about them."

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the sound of gasps echoed in the room.

Jiang Si also laughed. After scolding him, she laughed out loud.

Xie Yunshuo didn't care at all, as if being scolded by Jiang Si was still his achievement.

Also take this opportunity to gain an advantage for yourself.

"Are you laughing at me? You're laughing at me because I have to pay my debts, so I'll take another jar of wine. Jiaoshan, add another jar, and bury three jars of wine."

Jiaoshan responded and left.

Jiang Si said, "You're a good bargainer. I'll give you an extra jar of wine. There are only six jars in total, and you're not allowed to take half. After you leave, I'll take my men and dig this yard three feet deep. No matter where you're buried, I'll dig it out and give it to others to drink."

Xie Yunshuo pretended to be surprised and agreed with her: "How can this be? You actually treat me like this. Then I won't bury it. I will just take the wine jar and go to the battle."

Jiang Si continued to mock him: "You are like a lazy mule that has to be led by a carrot before it goes out."

The maids and servants had just finished laughing and started chuckling again.

Xie Yunshuo pointed at her with his index finger and said, "You are such a sharp-tongued beauty. I won't argue with you while we're having dinner now. We can settle the matter at night."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Si didn't do anything, but his ears turned red first.

It's still a bit too embarrassing to say this in front of a group of close friends.

No matter how reckless and reckless Xie Yunshuo was, there were times when he felt embarrassed.

Because, as he said this, he thought of the passionate love they had had in the afternoon, and he felt embarrassed as he thought about it.

Jiang Si glanced at him and turned away.

I knew what he was thinking and was afraid that I would be influenced by him, so I could only divert my thoughts and enjoy my meal.

Then the two of them shut up at the same time and ate their own food without even looking at each other.

If one didn't know that the two of them were just talking and laughing, and were in a harmonious relationship, anyone who only watched this scene would have thought that the two of them had had some quarrel and were ignoring each other.

But in fact, some people appear to be close but are actually different, while others appear to be different but are actually close.

Even if no one looked at each other, their hearts had already been twisted together in private.

When Jiang Si put down her bowl and chopsticks, Xie Yunshuo also put down his bowl and chopsticks.

She stood up: "I want to go out for a walk."

After working hard for two hours at noon, Jiang Si was tired and hungry, and she ate too much at dinner. She wanted to take a walk and relax.

Xie Yunshuo immediately stood up and said, "I'll go for a walk too."

Jiang Si said nothing and agreed.

During the days she was away, she was the only one in the yard.

Xie Yunshuo came back early today, and his people were everywhere, his voice lingering like a ghost.

Although it was a bit excessive, Jiang Si still liked this feeling.

The two walked around the yard twice, and miraculously, because of what had just happened, they didn't say anything.

Jiang Si recalled what Xie Yunshuo had said, that he didn't want her to be pregnant before he went to war. She savored it and thought about it, forgetting to talk to him.

After walking two laps, Xie Yunshuo finally couldn't hold it in any longer and urged her, "Are you done yet? Have you finished digesting the food? Let's go back."

Jiang Si thought he was impatient and glanced at him.

"Isn't an afternoon enough to quench your thirst?"

She was now completely exhausted, and he wanted to take her to the bed curtains and tease her again.

But in fact, Xie Yunshuo didn’t think about that, he just wanted to be alone with each other.

Close the door, draw the bed curtains, and the couple chat at night.

Just now during dinner, she had some questions to ask, but he didn't explain them to her.

He was so eager to answer her, wasn't she curious?

Xie Yunshuo defended himself: "I have something to tell you."

Jiang Si turned around, stared at him, and a plan came to her mind.

"Okay, then let's just talk and do nothing else, okay?"

Xie Yunshuo choked, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

Seeing him so conflicted, Jiang Si chuckled and said, "Never mind, just kidding. Let's go back to our room and lie down. I don't have the energy to walk anymore."

She wanted to go out for a walk, just because she ate a little too much.

In fact, every step I took was dragged with sore legs, and I felt weak all over, so it was not easy to walk.

After walking around twice, I felt like going back and lying down.

It was already late at night, and the lanterns in the corridor were lit every five steps. The courtyard was quiet and leisurely.

The two of them slowly returned to the house.

I had eaten my fill, washed myself, and changed my bed.

The fragrance is warm and everything is just right, making people feel at ease.

Jiang Si kept curling up the corners of her lips, feeling relaxed and at ease.

This was the most comfortable and happiest moment since she married into the general's mansion.

Looking back, the bamboo forest outside the yard was swaying gently in the night wind, and the rustling sound was like turning pages of a book.

She took a step closer to Xie Yunshuo and extended her hand to him.

"Take me into the room."

"Okay." Xie Yunshuo did as he was told.

He took her hand and lifted it up, put his arm under her, supporting half of her arm, and helped her walk.

The two walked hand in hand, their shadows printed on the floor tiles half overlapping.

The man lowered his head and the woman stood quietly, like a peaceful painting.

If the two of them don't speak.
