On the fifteenth day of the third lunar month, the inn in the border town officially opened.

On the first day of opening, all the guest rooms were fully occupied to accommodate a caravan from the south.

There is a restaurant in the inn, which employs more than a dozen chefs who prepare special dishes to ensure that caravans from all over the country can taste their hometown dishes.

As the shopkeeper, Zhao Zhe is adept at welcoming and seeing off guests.

Jiang Yuzhu only visited it once before handing over the shop with confidence.

Less than three months into the pregnancy, the morning sickness disappeared and Jiang Yuzhu felt comfortable again.

"Madam, the master has sent another letter."

Hongli held a thick letter in both hands.

The master has been gone for only half a month, and more than a dozen letters have been sent back.

Hongli didn't see the specific content and racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. Where did so many greetings come from?

"What do you know?"

Seeing Hongli's thoughts, Hongjin sneered and said, "Master won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations, and his brilliant writing skills shocked the court. He was also praised by the late emperor. Even if he wrote a letter every day to express his greetings, he would never write the same one twice a year."

If Xie Zhao had not been so talented, this marriage would not have fallen into the hands of the Jiang family.

The late emperor believed that husband and wife should complement each other. After hearing that Jiang Yuzhu, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, was illiterate and a fool, he took the initiative to arrange the marriage. His original intention was to see the couple have a good time.

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable and the emperor passed away not long after.

Hongli retorted, "Do you need to tell me that the Master is talented? If the Master only wrote those cheesy words every day, how could the Madam possibly be so engrossed in them?"

The two maids were arguing and neither was convinced.

Jiang Yuzhu ignored her and told Hongxiu to prepare melon seeds, tea, and peanuts, and ate while watching.

Others would never have thought that Xie Zhao was worried that she would be bored during her pregnancy, so he specially wrote the storybook.

Since I am on the road most of the time, I can only use the serialized mode.

Jiang Yuzhu saw the exciting part, then realized that it ended and began to look forward to the next plot.

"I'm not letting you watch it for your own good, especially Hongli. You lack concentration and I'm afraid you might not be able to sleep because of thinking about it."

Xie Zhao writes a suspenseful story, unraveling the story bit by bit.

Every time I finish watching it, I fall into the cycle of "Who is the murderer?" and "It turns out to be him."

"Madam, my cousin is here."

Ningxiang opened the curtain and came in to deliver the message. Ever since she learned that her wife was pregnant, Shen Zhilan came almost every day.

This time, I brought a lot of nourishing medicinal herbs.

Jiang Yuzhu glanced at the sky and saw that it was almost dinner time. She smiled and said, "Did Huang Dali catch some fish today? I'll make spicy grilled fish for her tonight and invite her over for dinner."

After taking over Sishui City, General Mo, Princess Yutan and Jiang Huaiqing set off for Beijing, leaving only Mo Qianyu in the border town to clean up the mess.

The news of Jiang Yuzhu's pregnancy was kept secret, and it was Shen Zhilan herself who noticed something was wrong.

Upon learning that Jiang Yuzhu was pregnant with twins, Shen Zhilan stayed in the border town and refused to leave.

The door curtain moved, and Shen Zhilan walked in like a gust of wind and asked, "Sister, when will you leave for Jiangnan?"

"Recently."

The capital is still in chaos now, and Jiang Yuzhu doesn't plan to go back and cause more trouble.

The conditions in the north are not as good as those in the south. Besides, her mother-in-law, Shen, often wrote letters and planned to send someone to pick her up.

Yan Lin took Jiang Yuzhu's pulse and found that the fetus was already firmly seated. She was ready to leave.

Otherwise, when the month gets older and it gets hot and humid in summer, it will be very painful to be on the road.

After hearing this, Shen Zhilan smiled and said, "That's perfect, let's go together."

Some time ago, Chen Zhilan's mother came from Jiangnan, and the mother and daughter reconciled and found out the truth about many of the problems that could not be solved in their previous lives.

It turned out that it wasn't that her mother didn't love her, but she had to do so for Shen Zhilan's sake.

Jiang Yuzhu was waiting to give birth in Jiangnan, and Shen Zhilan happened to return to her parents' home to support her mother, without delaying either.

"Sister, I heard from my mother that there is a magical spring in Yueya Village near Su City. After drinking the water from the magical spring, all the women in the village gave birth to twins."

After hearing this, Shen Zhilan decided to go to Yueya Village to find a midwife for Jiang Yuzhu.

"My master and I learned the craft, but we haven't had much practice. Besides, he said it's even harder to have twins."

After the miscarriage, Shen Zhilan took it very seriously and made plans for Jiang Yuzhu in all aspects.

Jiang Yuzhu also thought it was feasible and nodded, "I'll do as you say."

The two agreed on a departure date and arrived at the neighboring city on the last day of the third lunar month.

The first thing Jiang Yuzhu did when she arrived in the neighboring city was to go to the bookstore with her maid.

The waiter greeted her warmly and asked, "Madam, what books do you need? I can help you find them."

Most of the people in the bookstore are men, and occasionally a maid comes to help the literate young ladies find storybooks.

"I'm looking for Mr. Stone's book."

Jiang Yuzhu remembered that her cousin's pen name was Mr. Stone, which should be correct.

The clerk was stunned for a long moment, his face flushed as he said, "Madam, you're asking too much. We don't sell miscellaneous books here!"

"Mr. Shitou's painstaking work, how could it be a miscellaneous book?"

The travel notes written by Chen Tao are actually very interesting, and they introduce the customs and cultures of various places in detail.

Because it is so detailed and lengthy, it has become Jiang Yuzhu's hypnosis tool.

The few books I have left are no longer enough.

The young man was quite annoyed and said reluctantly: "No!"

"Impossible, aren't you the largest bookstore in the city?"

Jiang Yuzhu noticed that the waiter looked strange and asked.

If the biggest shop doesn’t have it, the smaller shops will be even harder to find.

The young man was helpless and blushed as he went to the shopkeeper to whisper something to him. After the shopkeeper looked at Jiang Yuzhu and her group, he invited them to a private room in the bookstore.

"Ma'am, are you looking for Mr. Stone's masterpiece?"
