It was still early, and Jiang Yuzhu was about to go out after washing and removing her makeup when Shen Zhilan and Mo Yan came from the general's mansion.

"Sister Yuzhu, I have good news for you!"

Mo Yan affectionately took Jiang Yuzhu's hand, winked and said, "Guess!"

"You didn't say you were going to tell me? You're so mysterious."

Jiang Yuzhu stroked her chin with one hand and looked at Mo Yan and Shen Zhilan seriously.

Since it is good news, it must be related to the General's Mansion.

Seeing that she was being stared at, Shen Zhilan quickly lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief in her hands, and her ears turned red.

Jiang Yuzhu understood and asked with a smile, "Could it be that something big happened to my cousin?"

Apart from being pregnant, Jiang Yuzhu couldn't think of anything else for the time being.

Mo Yan stared in shock and said, "Sister Yuzhu, not only are you lucky and blessed, but you also have the ability to tell fortunes?"

A bowl of chicken soup was served for breakfast today, but the oil was not skimmed off. When Shen Zhilan saw the yellow floating oil, she immediately felt nauseous.

"My mother asked a doctor to take my sister-in-law's pulse, and she turned out to be two months pregnant!"

After arriving in the north, Shen Zhilan's daily routine was not very regular. Except for occasional sleepiness after eating a full meal, she did not feel anything unusual.

It is said that it is not advisable to spread the news before three months of pregnancy, but Jiang Yuzhu is not an outsider.

"It's not that I'm so smart, but it's all written on my cousin's face."

Jiang Yuzhu patted the back of Shen Zhilan's hand, happy for her from the bottom of her heart.

The Mo family is full of loyal and brave people, and Mo Qianyu is still a reliable person.

Now Shen Zhilan has established herself in the Mo family, is loved by her husband, and has no one to bother her or cause trouble. She lives a very good life.

"Cousin, it's freezing outside, why don't you stay home?"

Jiang Yuzhu made a suggestion, but unexpectedly Shen Zhilan shook her head and frowned slightly.

When she got the news this morning, she was almost overwhelmed with joy. She had only one obsession in her mind: was it that the child who was not destined to be with her in the previous life came back to find her?

Whenever she thought of this, Shen Zhilan became more determined to give birth.

But thinking of the misery of her previous life, after Shen Zhilan's ecstasy, a sense of fear swept over her and almost overwhelmed her.

The direction of things is changing.

After rebirth, Shen Zhilan got rid of the scum, punished her vicious half-sister, and married into the Mo family, which was considered a good marriage and also changed the ending of her father-in-law Mo Changchuan.

But how many of these were done by her?

Shen Zhilan was not confident, she just wanted to see Jiang Yuzhu.

Only Jiang Yuzhu's calmness can calm her anxious heart.

Unconsciously, in addition to sisterly love, Shen Zhilan became more dependent on Jiang Yuzhu.

Originally, Mrs. Mo disapproved of her daughter-in-law going out, but when she heard that she was going to hang out with Jiang Yuzhu, she agreed readily and even urged her, "Zhilan, you should hang out with Yuzhu more often. Maybe the child can be blessed by her."

"Cousin, I see you brought some dried chilies from the capital. Can I make a small request?"

Shen Zhilan stood beside Jiang Yuzhu, feeling extremely at peace.

She had an idea. While her cousin Xie Zhao was not at home, she planned to move there for a while.

Not only that, Shen Zhilan was praying in her heart that her cousin would show up later.

"Yan'er and I are craving the grilled fish you made!"

Chen Zhilan stared eagerly. She and Mo Yan ordered a set of tools from a blacksmith and added all the seasonings according to what they had learned from him, but the taste was just not authentic enough.

"That's fine, but it's better to use live fish."

There is frozen fish in the market, but the taste after thawing is very different from that of live fish.

The winter in the north is extremely cold, and cold-water fish grow below the ice. Their meat is firm and tastes better than the fish in the capital.

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the sky and suggested, "Why don't we go ice fishing by the river?"

She had the idea a long time ago and just happened to catch up with it today.

Mo Yan clapped her hands and smiled, her eyes turning into crescents: "Okay, okay!"

After discussion, Mo Yan returned to the general's mansion and brought two strong guards to act as coachmen. The group split into two carriages and headed straight for the largest river in the border town.

In the winter in the north, the surface of the river is covered with a thick layer of snow.

After discussing it, a few people decided to set up their tent in the middle of the river.

Hongli was responsible for lighting the stove. When black smoke came out of the chimney, the tent became much warmer.

Shen Zhilan circled around Jiang Yuzhu, rubbing her hands and saying, "The fish we caught is grilled right away. I'm drooling before I even eat it!"

The fish needs to be fried before grilling. Since you are going to fry the fish, it is not good to waste the oil.

Jiang Yuzhu chopped up carrots, added tofu and vermicelli, coated them with a thin layer of flour, and fried them into vegetarian meatballs.

In addition to vegetarian meatballs, there are also fried peanuts and sweet potato cubes.

After Jiang Yuzhu cooked a pot of dates, Mo Yan was even more excited: "Sister Yuzhu, can dates be fried?"

"You'll know when you try it when it comes out of the pot!"

The dates are shipped from the northwest. After soaking the dried dates in hot water, they become as sweet as honey. The core in the middle is removed, and they are coated with thin flour and black and white sesame seeds. They are then put into a frying pan and taken out when they turn golden brown.

"Quick, try it!"

This is what Jiang Yuzhu had eaten in modern times. At first she thought it wouldn't taste good, but after taking a bite, she realized what she had missed.

“It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the sweet aroma of dates mixed with the fragrance of sesame seeds. Delicious!”

Mo Yan packed a box and said she would take it back home to serve as a snack to her mother.

Outside the tent, the guards had already broken through the ice.

The two were very experienced in ice fishing and were explaining it to Hongli and several other maids.

"One is seduction, two is fragrance, and three is teasing."

After drilling a hole in the ice, the fish will escape impatiently. Use bait with a strong smell to lure the fish back, and don't rush to cast the hook.

The guard explained the techniques and Hong Jin tried them out.

Soon, the fishing float on the water surface moved, but Hong Jin was still in a daze.
