Chapter 59 Chapter 59 If you can’t eat grapes, then you can eat me…
In late autumn, the mountain fruit trees are laden with fruit. Standing in this valley, the sweet fruity aroma seems to waft from all directions, truly alluring.
"I can be full just by eating the fruits." Chen Yang climbed to a high place and looked at the various fruits that bent the branches, and couldn't help sighing.
These days, some people couldn't help but eat only fruits to fill their stomachs, without eating a single bite of rice or game, which made everyone laugh and cry.
"Grapes are still delicious." Xuan Jinyu said this to Su Guanzhang while standing under a pear tree.
Su Guanzhang looked at her with a smile in his eyes, but his words were very infuriating, "No matter how delicious they are, there are no more grapes for today."
Xuan Jinyu pouted, looking somewhat unhappy.
Su Guanzhang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He leaned over and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "You really can't eat anymore today."
Xuan Jinyu used her head as a hammer, pounding his chest "bang bang".
Ever since that embarrassing and angry scene in the cave that day, she no longer liked biting him and fell in love with hitting him on the head.
Her head wasn't heavy, so it wouldn't hurt him anyway. She actually liked hearing the "bang bang bang" sound of the impact.
"Be careful not to hit your brother-in-law too much and get internal injuries." Xuan Wensheng said this to Xuan Jinyu one day, worried that she would really cause internal injuries to her husband, and then he would not be able to continue to take care of her diligently and attentively.
Xuan Jinyu remained silent for a long time after hearing this, but today she couldn't help but start beating him again.
"Jinyu, I really can't." Su Guanzhang held her head and lifted it up. He leaned down slightly to meet her gaze. "The pear is quite sweet. Have a bite, ok?"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out to pick the pear, but was stopped by Xuan Jinyu.
Her appetite was not satisfied. Although she grabbed his hand, she still pouted unhappily and didn't want to pay attention to him.
There were too many people around, so she couldn't act unreasonable, lest others think that she, the daughter of the Xuan family, was unreasonable and greedy.
Xuan Jinyu was thinking about how to get Su Guanzhang to let her go when he picked her up and carried her to an empty corner.
"What's wrong?" She looked around and didn't see anyone else. Her sight was also blocked by layers of leaves.
Su Guanzhang carefully placed her on the ground, put his arm around her shoulders, and held her sideways - now they couldn't hug each other face to face, as there was a big belly between them, so he could only hold her like this.
"You can't eat grapes," he said, leaning over to kiss her, gently rubbing her soft lips, "but you can eat me too."
Xuan Jinyu widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. What did she hear?
She opened her lips slightly and was about to ask him if he was stimulated by something, but he took advantage of the opportunity and pried open her lips and tongue.
On the way back, Xuan Jinyu was very quiet, being held by Su Guanzhang, still thinking about his shocking words just now.
This man had really changed a lot. He was so smooth-talking that she hardly dared to recognize him.
Am I overdoing it?
Before going to bed, Xuan Jinyu reflected on herself for the first time.
But the next day, she forgot the plan she had secretly made before going to bed to bother him less.
The aroma of fruit accompanied them all the way.
The white falcon's injuries, which had almost healed, gradually began to show obvious improvement. It began to flap its wings and fly, but it was not flying very high yet.
In the first month of winter, the white falcon's jade claws had completely healed from its injuries. One day, it soared into the blue sky, circled a few times, and never came back.
Xuan Jinyu waited for several days, but still didn't see it, so she knew that it had found its freedom.
I still feel melancholy after all.
But at this time, her pregnancy was almost nine months old, and she would give birth at the earliest this month and at the latest next month.
Chen Yang, Wang Hu and the others had just not dared to approach her before, but now they didn't even dare to pass by her when walking. They just wanted to stay as far away from her as possible.
The same was true for the rest of the officers, soldiers, and imperial guards.
They watched Xuan Jinyu's belly grow bigger day by day, but even at this time, they were still amazed.
A girl with a slim and graceful figure has a belly that is bulging with the baby in her belly, which makes people worry that her belly will burst.
However, even at this time, the young lady of the Xuan family is still breathtakingly beautiful.
The swelling caused by the late pregnancy did not affect her beauty at all. Instead, it seemed to have taken away the remaining childishness between her eyebrows and eyes, making her look more bright and elegant.
However, this thought only briefly appeared in my mind when I saw the young lady slowly walking towards me from afar.
Because back in the morning when they were staying in an abandoned temple near Lingfeng Mountain, someone tried to offend the young lady, and the look in Su Guanzhang's eyes when he looked at them still made them feel scared.
What's more, the six months of living with the Su family day and night were enough to make them deeply aware that the former young general of the Su family, who was the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple half a year ago, was not someone to be messed with.
He is capable of solving cases and leading troops, but no one knows where he learned his medical skills.
Just look at the pills and various medicinal powders of unknown uses that this young master has made in the past six months. If you dare to covet his wife, you may end up dying without knowing how, and it is even more likely that your family will be implicated.
This does not include the rest of the Xuan, Lin and Su families!
Therefore, no one dared to have any inappropriate thoughts.
Xuan Jinyu had no idea how others viewed her, and she was feeling very uncomfortable.
No matter how beautiful she is, she cannot escape the various symptoms of late pregnancy. She now has severe pain in her pubic bone and hips. It hurts when she sits, stands, or lies down. It hurts all the time.
She doesn't like walking much now because it hurts and often makes her eyes tear up.
The pain was so severe that she grabbed Su Guanzhang's hand, and her well-trimmed nails could pierce the skin on the back of his hand, leaving blood marks.
In this situation, she had no time to think about the melancholy brought about by Bai Hu's departure, and quickly put it behind her.
Only half a month later, they finally crossed the continuous mountains that stretched across most of the city. When they passed under a low hill, they suddenly saw a huge white monster flying towards them at a very fast speed.
When it got closer, people realized it was a snow-white lamb.
Looking up, she saw that the creature holding it was a pure white, vicious bird—a gyrfalcon. Xuan Jinyu recognized it as the white falcon Jade Claw they had rescued earlier.
Xuan Jinyu looked up at it and saw that it was also tilting its head and looking in her direction, with a fierce and unruly look in its eyes that had not yet faded away.
After his eyes met hers, Bai Falcon's expression obviously began to soften.
It flew closer and closer, very close to the ground, and Xuan Jinyu saw it loosen its claws.
Without the shackles, the lamb fell heavily to the ground, landing on the thick yellow leaves with a dull "bang" sound.
It didn't even struggle, lying silently on the fallen leaves, obviously already dead.
The group of people attracted by the noise have started discussing:
"Is this the white falcon that followed us before?"
"It's it. You can see it's eyes are right."
"Where did it catch the sheep? Could it be someone else's?"
"It probably isn't. It looks like a wild sheep. We caught one in the mountains a few days ago. Doesn't it look similar?"
"Don't all sheep look the same? It's just that they don't have owners. That's good. No trouble."
"It's sent to us, isn't it? We can eat lamb tonight."
The white falcon ignored the crowd's discussions, slowed down its speed, and finally landed slowly on Su Guanzhang's shoulder, with its head held high and a look of disdain.
Xuan Jinyu really didn't expect to see Bai Hu, who had been with her for three months, again.
It turned out that she was in great pain, feeling uncomfortable all over, and she also disliked Su Guanzhang.
She didn't want to see him, but at the same time, she wanted him to stay by her side. Su Guanzhang was chased away by her, and then she sent someone to call him back, which made him suffer a lot.
But he had no complaints at all, he just wished that all her discomfort could be transferred to him.
When Bai Hun came, Xuan Jinyu refused Su Guanzhang's request to hold her and let him support her as she walked around a few times.
She had to move more during pregnancy so that she would have a better time to give birth. This was what her mother, the court doctor, her grandmother, her mother-in-law, and her sisters-in-law had all told her, and she remembered it well.
It was so painful that Xuan Jinyu couldn't bear it after walking three circles. She leaned on Su Guanzhang's shoulder with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.
But as soon as she saw the white falcon, she forgot all her discomfort. Her eyelashes were still wet, but she had already started smiling and touched its head happily.
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction. The feathers on the falcon's little head felt as good as ever. She asked the falcon questions repeatedly, not caring whether it could understand and respond.
"Aren't you free? Why are you back?"
"How have you been these past two weeks? Have you been hungry?"
"How did you find us?"
As she spoke, she poked its belly again and found it was bulging, and she couldn't stop smiling.
It was obviously not hungry.
"What did you eat again? Your belly is so bloated, just like when we first met."
At that time, it took more than half a month for the bloating on my belly to go away, and then I started eating again.
Su Guanzhang held her waist firmly with one hand - she was about to give birth, the baby could enter the pelvis at any time, and her waist would easily ache now.
Besides, she had just been in pain, so she needed to rest.
He helped Xuan Jinyu sit down on a flat stone covered with a blanket, and he sat behind her to support her waist and abdomen. Finally, he took the heavy white falcon off her shoulder with one hand and held it in his palm.
Xuan Wensheng very considerately returned to the carriage to fetch a small wooden table, set it aside, and Su Guanzhang placed the white falcon in his hand on the wooden table.
The children also missed this little friend and quickly gathered around.
The white falcon's round brown eyes turned around, as if scanning its acquaintances, and finally stopped on Xuan Jinyu's face and did not move.
Xuan Jinyu tentatively reached out her hand towards it, and sure enough, she saw it put its little head into her palm and rubbed it.
"You missed me too, didn't you?" she asked softly.
The white falcon rubbed against her again, and Xuan Jinyu happily stroked its smooth feathers.
The rest of the Su family also gathered around.
Yuzhua has been with them for more than three months. I missed it a lot after not seeing it for half a month.
"This jade claw is really human-like." Su Shenghe said to Xu Yu Niang who was looking at it with envy.
To be honest, he was a little envious.
None of the gyrfalcons he had caught before could be tamed, and each time he had to release them back into the mountains with regret.
But now, this jade claw is so affectionate with my little daughter-in-law. No one has trained it, but it can be so affectionate.
Did they use the wrong method before?
Su Sheng seemed to be lost in thought.
