Chapter 3070 Considerate
When Zhou Man woke up, it was already bright outside and Bai Shan was nowhere to be found. She stretched comfortably, hugged the quilt to feel the warmth inside, and after hesitating for a moment, decided to stay in bed.
But she slept well last night. Although she wanted to stay in bed, she was in good spirits, staring at the curtains with bright eyes. Bai Shan quietly opened the door, leaned over to look at the bed, and met her eyes looking at her.
Bai Shan: ...
He came in immediately and asked, "Why don't you get up now that you're awake?"
Zhou Man: "It's a bit cold outside."
Bai Shancai was still warm from boxing and sweating a little, so he said directly: "Not cold, not cold at all."
Zhou Man glanced at his tight clothes, pulled the quilt down slightly, and when he felt the cold, he immediately pulled the quilt up to cover his neck, tucked his hands inside and said, "It's cold. You can't define the actual weather based on your feelings."
Bai Shan: "...So you're going to stay in bed all day?"
Zhou Man: "Not really. I'll wait until the sun rises a little higher and I feel warmer before getting up."
Bai Shan glanced outside. It was already sunny. He thought of the precautions Zhou Man had written for him. It said that if she was lazy and lay in bed for a long time, refused to move or eat, she must be forced to follow them.
So he looked up and smiled at her, then picked up the big banner on the shelf, lifted the quilt off her, and as she screamed, he covered her with the big banner and picked her up and walked towards the outer room.
Zhou Man widened his eyes and slapped him twice angrily, "What are you doing?" But he didn't dare to struggle.
Bai Shan's shoulder was slapped so hard that it hurt. He hissed and said, "Hit me gently."
He placed her on the couch in the outer room, then called Wuyue and Jiulan in loudly, "Didn't you write to warn me? You said you've been getting lazy lately, staying in bed all the time. Sometimes, even when you're clearly hungry, you find eating too much trouble and don't even want to eat. So you asked me to keep an eye on you and not let you get too lazy."
Zhou Man finally remembered this, but he said in a playful way: "But I just don't want to get up today."
Bai Shan sighed, "Yesterday you were saying that Princess Mingda was having a big reaction to her pregnancy, but now I'm here and you're reacting just as much. Has the baby been bothering you lately?"
Zhou Man stepped on his foot and crushed it angrily, "Stop changing the subject and take me back."
She hadn't put on her shoes yet, and Bai Shan didn't feel any pain when she stepped on her. She was afraid that her feet would get cold, so she quickly picked her up and held her in her arms.
Wu Yue and Jiu Lan pushed open the door and came in, holding a wooden basin and mouthwash in their hands. They were not surprised by the two people's noise. One of them put the wooden basin on the shelf and went to find the clothes Zhou Man was wearing today. The other also put the tray on the shelf and said, "Madam, the eldest lady made meat-filled buns today. The skin is thin and the filling is large. I heard there is broth inside. The princess sent someone to take a basket. There is one basket left, and the eldest lady asked if she would like to save some for Master Yin."
Zhou Man's attention was diverted. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's ask him to come over here for breakfast. It's troublesome to send breakfast back and forth, and it will get cold easily."
Jiulan agreed, bowed, and went out to pass on the message.
Wu Yue took out the clothes, shoes and socks that she had folded last night and was about to help Zhou Man get dressed when Bai Shan waved his hand and said, "I'll do it, you go down."
May smiled slightly, curtsied and stepped back.
Bai Shan first squatted down to put on her socks and shoes, and then took out clothes for her to wear.
Zhou Man slapped his hand away and said, "I can do it myself."
Bai Shan smiled and stepped aside, but still reached out from time to time to help her put on her clothes.
Zhou Man tied her hair with a hairband, and Bai Shan immediately handed her a willow twig dipped in medicine powder for rinsing her mouth.
Zhou Man took it and went into the bathroom to rinse his mouth. Before he stood up, Bai Shan handed him a wrung handkerchief. Zhou Man took it and felt a lot more comfortable.
She wiped her face clean and sat in front of the dressing table. While wiping her face, she watched Bai Shan comb her hair. "You look weird today."
Bai Shan was not convinced, "Didn't I draw your eyebrows and do your makeup before?"
"But you're not that attentive," Zhou Man doubted him. "Do you have something to ask of me?"
"No," Bai Shan said as he combed her hair, "I haven't been by your side for a while. I feel sorry for you, so I just want to be good to you, okay?"
"Okay," Zhou Man raised his head, "Then you comb my hair."
Bai Shan's cooking skills were not very good, so Wu Yue came in to take over. She fixed Zhou Man's hair and put on jewelry, and then the two of them went to the dining room.
Xiao Qian and Yin Huo were both in the dining room, talking.
Xiao Qian had already eaten, so she stayed here to see how Zhou Man's appetite was and whether he wanted to eat anything for lunch...
But when he saw Bai Shan and Yin Huo, he felt that they had lost weight, so he cared more about them. "Tell me what you want to eat, and I will make it for you at noon."
Bai Shan said that he was not picky about food at all, and Yin Huo also said that he was happy with anything.
Zhou Man had already withdrawn his gaze from Yin Huo's face. After picking up a bun, he said, "I see they all look very good. They must really be fine. Sister-in-law, just make them something."
She paused and said, "It's better to be lighter."
Speaking of this, Bai Shan turned around and said to Zhou Man, "I had someone find a hot spring in Beihai County. It's not big and is just wild. I have had it fenced off and the fertile land around it used for vegetable planting. We should be able to eat fresh vegetables this winter."
Bai Shan said to Yin Huo, "I'll have someone build a separate courtyard there. When it gets colder, would you like to stay there for a while?"
Yin Huo smiled and said, "Give it to the princess. I'm in good health."
No way, his physique is far worse than Mingda's.
Zhou Man took a bite of the bun. The skin was thin and the filling was large. With just one bite, a small amount of juice inside flowed into her mouth. She ate it together with the salty and fragrant meat. It was not greasy at all.
Zhou Man narrowed his eyes, overjoyed. He said to Yin Huo, "If it's too cold, go ahead. Bai Er and the princess will be there too. The villa was built by craftsmen sent by His Majesty. It's made up of small courtyards, so it's very private and convenient. You won't disturb each other. It was originally built for you to recuperate."
Bai Shan nodded, "Thank you for staying here with my wife and me. Since you told your family that you're recuperating here, you should be more honest about it."
In order to build this villa, Bai Shan not only spent money to buy the mountain from Beihai County as wasteland, but also spent a lot of money to purchase stones and wood for construction. It was the largest personal expenditure they made after arriving in Beihai County.
Now that it has been built, we must make the best use of it.
Yin Huo raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you going then?"
