Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 390 I Want to Consummate the Marriage First
"How is it? Don't you like it?" Seeing that he didn't move, Ye Mingzhu thought he didn't like it and was about to take it to check.
"I'll try it myself." Jiang Hongyu took the leather boots and changed his shoes.
The cowhide boots were surprisingly comfortable on his feet. He took off both boots and walked a few steps.
"These boots are well made, like they were made by an experienced craftsman."
"My aunt-in-law also said that these were made by an experienced craftsman. Unfortunately, there were only three pairs, so I bought them all." Ye Mingzhu took out the other two pairs of shoes.
Two pairs of shoes, one big and one small, just like couple shoes.
"These shoes are well made." Jiang Hongyu took both pairs of shoes and took a look at them.
"Let's wear these shoes together when we go out next time." There seemed to be sparks in Jiang Hongyu's eyes.
"Yeah." Ye Mingzhu noticed it, her face turned red, she lowered her head, and took out the two sets of clothes she had prepared for Jiang Hongyu.
"This is the clothes I bought in the capital. The craftsmanship of this shop is very good, the stitching is fine, and the style is also beautiful. You can try it later."
Before Ye Mingzhu came back, she went to the street and brought something for everyone in the family, even Lao Hu and Yunniang.
Jiang Hongyu watched Ye Mingzhu show him the things she bought in the capital city one by one, nodded from time to time, and then helped Ye Mingzhu put all the things into her room.
"Mingzhu, let your mother check your body later." Jiang Hongyu put down everything and turned around.
"I'm fine. During this period in the city, I've been doing nothing but eating and sleeping." Ye Mingzhu thought he was worried about her and quickly explained.
Jiang Hongyu looked at her serious expression and was a little amused: "Mingzhu, we have been married for more than half a year."
Ye Mingzhu didn't understand what he meant at first, and nodded stupidly: "Yes."
Jiang Hongyu looked at her deeply, and suddenly smiled: "I will stay at home for two days this time. I will go and talk to my mother."
Ye Mingzhu watched him leave before she realized that what he was talking about seemed to be the consummation of the marriage?
Her face suddenly turned red.
Jiang Hongyu found Aunt Jiang in the kitchen. She was kneading dough and said she wanted to personally roll noodles for Ye Yunan and others to welcome them.
Yunniang was also in the kitchen. Jiang Hongyu didn't say anything, but just rolled up his sleeves and helped Aunt Jiang knead the dough.
Aunt Jiang raised her eyebrows. She knew her son. He came here at this time, so he must have something to do. But seeing that he was silent, it didn't seem to be something urgent.
Jiang Hongyu kept waiting for Aunt Jiang to ask him, but after he kneaded and cut the dough, Aunt Jiang still didn't say anything. He couldn't help it.
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
Yunniang also noticed something and said with a smile that it would be fine as long as she was in the kitchen.
Aunt Jiang glanced at Jiang Hongyu, then left the kitchen. After washing her hands, she asked, "Is something wrong? Why did you chase me into the kitchen?"
The two stood in the yard. Jiang Hongyu looked around and coughed, "Mom, after dinner, go check Mingzhu's pulse."
Aunt Jiang frowned: "Is Mingzhu feeling unwell?"
She just saw that Ye Mingzhu's face was rosy, and her expression was not uncomfortable except for being a little tired.
Jiang Hongyu looked around again before whispering, "I want Mom to see how Mingzhu is recovering."
Aunt Jiang breathed a sigh of relief at first, then frowned again: "Brother Yu, Mingzhu's body is not fully grown yet. If she gets pregnant, it will be very dangerous."
Jiang Hongyu opened his mouth, licked his lips for a long while, and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? I don't want Mingzhu to have a baby now."
Even though Aunt Jiang had watched him grow up, when discussing such things, Jiang Hongyu felt like running away. However, he was really worried about Ye Mingzhu's health, so he could only shamelessly stay where he was and accept Aunt Jiang's gaze.
"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll go check on Mingzhu later." Aunt Jiang nodded with a stern face, then turned around, and a smile appeared in her eyes.
She could probably guess what Jiang Hongyu meant. He wanted to consummate the marriage first, but she still wanted to hear Ye Mingzhu's opinion on this matter.
When Aunt Jiang left, Ye Mingzhu had just gotten out of bed. Even though she was born a fisherman, she was still a little tired after being on the boat for many days and returning to the flat land.
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised when she saw Aunt Jiang coming in with a tray: "Mom, have I slept for too long?"
"No, Yun'an and Luodou are also sleeping. I'm afraid you're hungry, so I'll bring you a bowl of bird's nest first." Aunt Jiang placed a small bowl in front of Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised: "Mom, these bird's nests?"
"This was bought by your uncle Yan from another place. It tastes good. You should try it." When Aunt Jiang said this, her expression was very gentle, and there was a hint of happiness in her smile.
Ye Mingzhu guessed that this was something Uncle Yan bought specially for Aunt Jiang to nourish her body. She didn't want to drink it, but Aunt Jiang said that they were all family and they could just buy more after they had finished eating. Besides, the bird's nest had already been cooked and it couldn't be wasted.
She couldn't refuse anymore and had to drink the bird's nest.
Aunt Jiang naturally extended her hand: "Mingzhu, you've been gone for so long, let me take your pulse and see how you're recovering."
Ye Mingzhu didn't think much about it and just stretched out her hand.
Aunt Jiang took her pulse very seriously and asked a few questions. Ye Mingzhu's face turned red. She remembered that Jiang Hongyu seemed to have asked Aunt Jiang to take her pulse.
"Your body has recovered very well and is now in better shape than many women's. However, you are still young and your body has not fully developed yet."
Aunt Jiang noticed that Ye Mingzhu was a little shy, so she didn't say it too clearly.
Ye Mingzhu nodded. She knew her own health very well, and she felt much better now than when she first arrived.
"Thanks to Mom, otherwise I wouldn't have recovered so quickly." She said this sincerely.
Although her physical recovery was related to Baozhu, the prescription prescribed by Aunt Jiang was also crucial, and it can be said that they complemented each other.
Aunt Jiang patted Ye Mingzhu's hand. She really liked this daughter-in-law. She and Jiang Hongyu had been married for more than half a year, and their relationship as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very good. She had seen too many women who were too old and had poor bone growth and had problems giving birth.
"Mingzhu, do you remember I told you that women in the Zhou family only give birth when they are eighteen, otherwise it will harm their fate."
"I remember." Ye Mingzhu understood what Aunt Jiang meant, which was to ask her not to have a child so early.
She came from the modern era, so of course she knew that giving birth too early was bad for a woman's health. In addition, medical care was underdeveloped in ancient times, so women were likely to die prematurely due to complications during childbirth.
"Well, I'll make some pills for you later. When Brother Yu is at home, you can take one in the morning. It won't cause any harm to your body. I'll go talk to Brother Yu."
Aunt Jiang's words were truly for Ye Mingzhu's own good, but she said it too vaguely and she didn't understand. It was only when she actually took the pill that she realized the effect.
