Chapter 193 Pregnancy

"Can't eat?" Su Yujin was quite worried, "Have you seen a doctor?"

In theory, when she left Hedong Prefecture, Chen's condition had stabilized. If she had taken the medicine on time according to the prescription she prescribed, she should have recovered two or three months ago.

Or did Chen develop a new illness?

After all, if the poison in Chen's body was completely cleared at that time, she would most likely remember that her two sons had died.

If sadness arises from the heart...

Kang smiled and replied, "The doctor checked and said it was a very common thing. She will have an appetite after three months when the fetus is stable. Yes, the doctor also said that I thought Wei'er was not young and would not have children, but I never thought she could get pregnant again, and the fetus is very stable. I think it's because the prescription Miss Su prescribed earlier has a very good warming and tonic effect."

Is Chen pregnant?

This is truly a great happy event, and it also makes up for the regrets of Chen and Prefect Qu.

Su Yujin was surprised and delighted, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Then you'll probably just have to put up with it for a while. You need to get more rest on weekdays, eat small and frequent meals, and choose nutritious foods. You don't need to be too particular about eating too much."

Throughout the ages, most pregnant women are accustomed to eating more and taking more supplements. However, in fact, the nutrients required by pregnant women and fetuses are limited. The excess food grows on the mother's body and becomes fat, which not only affects the body shape, but also easily causes high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., which is not good.

As for Chen's daily diet, there is generally no lack of nutrition. She only needs to eat more foods rich in protein, calcium, and vitamins, and avoid cold foods and foods that can easily induce uterine contractions. There is no need to over-supplement.

"That's what the doctor said, and I wrote it down one by one, preparing to take good care of Wei'er. But it was useless for me to prepare everything. Qu Zhiwen was always around Wei'er, and he wrote down the things to pay attention to in detail in a notebook, which he kept on the table all day, for fear of making the slightest mistake. As her aunt, I couldn't even get close to her."

When Kang said this, she smiled again and couldn't help curling her lips. "Looking at this situation, I simply don't want to compete for favor with Lord Qu, and just concentrate on doing those business. I will also take advantage of the New Year to give Miss Su the profit of the past two months, and report the good news to you."

In theory, according to local customs, pregnancy cannot be told to outsiders before the baby shows signs of pregnancy.

But for Chen, Su Yujin was not an outsider, and Qinghe was hundreds of miles away from Hedong Prefecture. It would not be convenient for her to come and announce the good news when the baby was born. It would be even more inconvenient for Su Yujin to attend banquets such as the third day of the baby's birth and the hundred-day celebration. Taking the opportunity of Kang's arrival to inform Su Yujin was also a way of showing closeness.

"This joy is truly reward." Su Yujin said with a smile, "This is also a blessing for Lord Qu and Madam."

"Yes." Kang nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.

After a few more pleasantries, they started talking about the skewers business.

"Since the beginning of winter this year, the weather has not been very good. It is not very convenient to move around, so much so that even the opening of the shop has been delayed for a long time."

Speaking of business, Kang frowned, "The store is opening much slower than I expected."

When doing business, take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and you can't eat a fat man in one bite...

Just as Su Yujin was thinking about what words to use to persuade Kang, Kang continued, "I just bought the fifteenth shop before I came to Qinghe. I'm afraid that by the time of the New Year, I will have opened the eighteenth shop at most..."

Su Yujin, "..."

I doubt you're in Versailles.

“I had originally thought that we would have opened more than 20 stores by the end of the year, but it looks like that’s simply not possible.” Kang shook his head and sighed.

Without waiting for Su Yujin to say anything to "comfort" her, Kang straightened his back and said loudly, "But Miss Su, don't worry about the business. By the end of next year, we will have opened 50 stores!"

Listening to Kang's bold words, Su Yujin seemed to see huge piles of silver rushing towards her like a tide, burying her completely.

I don't know what it feels like to sleep on silver...

When I have enough money, I must give it a try! Su Yujin hurriedly wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel to prevent herself from drooling if she was not careful, and nodded repeatedly, "Then I will wait for the good news from Manager Kang."

Kang continued laughing, "But no matter how good the news is, we have to wait until next year. I will give the dividends of the past two months to Miss Su first, which can be regarded as giving Miss Su some good things."

As she spoke, Kang asked the little maid beside her to bring over a red lacquered and gold-painted box and handed it to Su Yujin, "The account books and banknotes are all in it."

After Su Yujin took it, she took a quick look and saw that the banknotes were thick, about four or five thousand taels, so she gave the box to Ai Cao to put away.

After talking for a while, it was getting late, so Kang stayed at Su Yujin's house for dinner.

Su Yujin personally cooked some home-cooked dishes to entertain the guests.

Braised winter bamboo shoots, steamed taro with pork belly slices, pepper and salt lamb chops, crispy water chestnut slices, fried spinach and tofu, roasted bean curd sheets, served with scallion pancakes and cabbage and radish soup.

Kang had not tasted Su Yujin's cooking for a long time, and he was full of praise for it. He even ate much more than usual for dinner.

Because Kang brought many servants and a lot of stuff with her, she booked an inn when she arrived in Qinghe and stayed in the inn at night.

On the second day, Su Yujin took advantage of the fact that Kang was going to stay in Qinghe for a day and took her for a walk in Qinghe to see her Su Ji and Huibin Building.

We had lunch at Huibin Building at noon.

In the afternoon, he took Kang to the shops in the small street and bought some Qinghe specialties for Kang.

He bought more of each item and asked Kang to take them back to Chen.

Kang got up the next morning, had breakfast and left.

Su Yujin escorted her all the way to the gate of the county town, and even gave Kang a ginseng and a ganoderma that she had been collecting. "These two things are things that can be used at critical moments. It would be best if Madam doesn't need them. If something really goes wrong, these two things may not be found immediately even if you have money, but they can still be of some use."

The two sides were not distantly related, and just as Su Yujin had said, this thing was something you could only come across by chance, so Kang thanked Su Yujin and accepted the item.

There was no time to delay when traveling, so after a few words, Su Yujin watched Kang's carriage slowly leave.

The carriage continued along the official road until it passed a town at noon. Kang asked his servants to rest and have lunch at a restaurant in the town.

As soon as I sat down, someone came into the private room.
