Chapter 329: Burden
Although Doctor Chen tried his best to comfort him, Zhou Boxu still felt uneasy.
However, it was useless to think too much, and he could only face it calmly.
Zhou Boxu clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and asked in detail how to reduce the risk and have a smooth birth.
Doctor Chen answered one by one, and Zhou Boxu remembered them in his heart.
At the end, Zhou Boxu bowed deeply to show his gratitude, and ordered the servants to prepare a generous thank-you gift, and sent a carriage to send Doctor Chen back to the palace.
"If there is any need in the future, you will have to trouble Doctor Chen." Zhou Boxu personally saw Doctor Chen off.
Doctor Chen held the heavy gift box and said with a cheerful face: "It's my duty. If you need anything, just ask."
After Doctor Chen left, Zhou Boxu looked at the gloomy sky, took a few deep breaths, and returned to the main courtyard with a calm expression.
Yu Lan was already very uncomfortable, and he couldn't let her see any clues and get upset.
Yu Zheng had been talking to Yu Lan. Zhou Boxu entered the room and saw that Yu Lan's pearl-like face was full of a gentle smile, and she was obviously immersed in the joy of the twins.
"Is Doctor Chen gone?" Yu Lan asked.
Zhou Boxu nodded: "Doctor Chen has written a prescription, and I have asked someone to get the medicine and boil it."
Yu Lan didn't ask any more questions.
Yu Zheng stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."
"I'll take you." Zhou Boxu went out with him.
When they reached the main courtyard, Yu Zheng asked in a low voice, "What did Doctor Chen say?"
Zhou Boxu was startled, knowing that he couldn't hide it from Yu Zheng, and sighed, "Twin births are more difficult than ordinary births."
"What exactly?" Yu Zheng was as concerned about Yu Lan's safety as Zhou Boxu, so he asked in great detail.
Zhou Boxu briefly repeated what Doctor Chen had said to him.
A bystander can see things more clearly. Although Yu Zheng was also concerned about Yu Lan's safety, he was still able to analyze rationally. After listening, he comforted her, "Doctor Chen never speaks empty words. If he says there is not much risk, then it is a sure thing and you don't have to worry too much."
After a pause, Yu Zheng added, "Don't let Sister and Yan'er know."
He learned about Jiang Shu's pregnancy. A woman's mood during pregnancy will have a great impact on her body and the fetus, so she must keep a happy mood.
Pregnancy and childbirth are things that cannot be controlled by human power. All they can do is to make full preparations, reduce the risk, and provide timely rescue when something unexpected happens.
Yu Zheng's words made sense. Zhou Boxu breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart loosened.
After seeing Yu Zheng off and returning to the main house, Zhou Boxu's mood had completely recovered.
"Why did you take so long?" Yu Lan was puzzled.
Zhou Boxu sat down beside the couch and said, "Well, I heard a few instructions."
Yu Lan was interested and asked with interest, "What did A Zheng tell you?"
Zhou Boxu said seriously, "Let me take good care of you, make you happy every day, and not make you angry or upset, otherwise he will beat me."
Yu Lan laughed and said, "After so many years, you still can't beat A Zheng?"
In terms of knowledge, Zhou Boxu is not inferior to Yu Zheng. But in martial arts, he has been inferior to Yu Zheng since he was a child.
Asked such an embarrassing question, Zhou Boxu cleared his throat and said, "He is the king and I am the subject. We are also my uncle, so I dare not hit him even if I can."
"Oh?" Yu Lan stared at him and deliberately prolonged her tone.
Zhou Boxu raised his hand to touch her belly and changed the subject, "Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring some snacks."
"Then eat something." Yu Lan smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
Men, after all, are always good at saving face. They should not exaggerate and should stop when enough is enough.
Yu Zheng returned to the palace and told Jiang Shu the good news that Yu Lan was pregnant with twins.
"That's great." Jiang Shu was too excited and his voice was a little loud, which scared Yu Ziyu who was breastfeeding in his arms.
Yu Ziyu stared at Jiang Shu with his dark eyes.
Jiang Shu coaxed him a few times before he continued to breastfeed peacefully.
Yu Ziyou was so tired from the bloating and abdominal pain that he fell asleep while feeding.
Seeing that Yu Ziyou was still holding the milk even after falling asleep, Yu Zheng frowned and said, "Bad habit."
Then he stretched out his hand to open Yu Ziyou's mouth and put him on the bed.
Jiang Shu tidied up his clothes and whispered to Yu Zheng.
"I really envy my sister. It's so easy to have twins in one pregnancy. I wish I could be like her."
Yu Zheng frowned and pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to be pregnant with twins. Don't be jealous."
"That's right." Thinking of Yu Lan's uncomfortable look due to morning sickness, Jiang Shu felt relieved.
Of course, you can't envy such things. It all depends on God's will. If you get it, you are lucky. If you don't, it's fate.
The next morning, the cold autumn rain fell.
It was inconvenient to go out because of the rain, and Yu Ziyou was not feeling well, so Jiang Shu stayed with
him in the mansion for a few days. Every evening, after Jiang Shu finished feeding Yu Ziyou, Fang Nanxing pressed twice according to the method taught by Doctor Chen. Yu Ziyou no longer had flatulence, and Jiang Shu was finally relieved.
After the autumn rain cleared up, Jiang Shu was about to leave the mansion when Jiang's father and mother Jiang Ning came.
"Sister, where is my little nephew?" Jiang Ning was eager to see Yu Ziyou as soon as she arrived.
Chu Yu brought Yu Ziyou to him, and Jiang's mother took him in her arms.
Yu Ziyou squinted his eyes and looked blankly at the three unfamiliar people in front of him.
Jiang's father teased him for a while, and then sat down with Jiang Shu to discuss business.
"As you expected, the production of various fruits is stagnant, and the price is low but they cannot be sold. Fruit farmers are worried and can't eat or sleep well."
"In addition, the grain production has decreased this year, and many farmers have no surplus grain at home. They all rely on selling fruits to exchange for grain, but most of the fruits that can't be sold are rotten, which is despairing."
"People who visited and investigated said that some poor farmers have no money to buy grain and have to eat fruits to survive."
No matter how good the fruit is, it is only a snack after tea and meals, and it cannot be used as food to fill the stomach. It's okay for a day or a few days, but if it lasts too long, the body will definitely not be able to bear it.
In addition, the fruit will rot, and the new grain in the field will not grow until next year, and it will not last until then.
Jiang Shu sighed after hearing this: "People at the bottom of society always have the hardest time."
Father Jiang nodded in agreement: "At present, only the method you mentioned can help them overcome the difficulties."
Jiang Shu suddenly felt that he was carrying a heavy burden, and said in a serious tone: "The prince is out. When he comes back, I will discuss with him and implement it as soon as possible to reduce the losses of the people." This
is a serious matter, and it is no longer a simple business profit.
Before lunch, Yu Zheng came back.
Seeing Father Jiang and the other two, Yu Zheng was a little surprised.
"Brother-in-law, where is my horse?" Jiang Ning waited for a whole morning, and asked impatiently when he saw Yu Zheng. Yu
Zheng said, "It's in the stable. You can take it back when you go back later."
Jiang Ning was overjoyed: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
Looking at the young man in front of him who was flying high and wanton, Yu Zheng warned: "Keep working hard, don't lose your ambition and slack off in your studies."
"I know, I won't." Jiang Ning agreed.
The three of them left after lunch. Jiang Shu coaxed Yu Ziyou to sleep, and said seriously: "Husband, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Yu Zheng rarely saw Jiang Shu so serious, and was surprised and a little surprised.
Jiang Shu looked at Yu Zheng's dark eyes and said word by word: "I want you to report to my father and allow wine merchants to brew and sell fruit wine."
