"Ah, do I look bad?" Jian Ning touched his face unconsciously when he heard that. Then he felt something was wrong and stretched out his arm. "Okay, then give it to me."
When Yang Jinyu was taking Ding Youtian's pulse, he was even more nervous than him. He stood aside and stared at his two fingers blankly. Seeing him like this, Jian Ning suddenly remembered what Yang Dali said about waiting for good news. Her heart tightened, because her period had indeed not come.
But because of the false pregnancy reaction, she hadn't had her period for a long time, and she had figured it out long ago. It didn't matter whether she had a child or not. However, she couldn't help but look forward to it again.
Both she and Ding Youtian stared at Yang Jinyu's fingers, and glanced at his face from time to time. Their behavior confused Yang Jinyu, and he wondered if Jian Ning had some difficult and complicated disease, and they were hiding it from him because they were afraid of worrying him. So when he felt Jian Ning's pulse, his heart sank and his face became solemn.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Seeing his serious expression, Jian Ning was secretly startled, and raised her eyes to glare at Ding Youtian.
She knew she was not pregnant, and she secretly blamed Ding Youtian. It was all his fault that she had just rekindled her hopes. The feeling of having her hopes dashed was really unpleasant.
"Master, Master." Yang Jinyu carefully felt my pulse, but his expression remained solemn. He stood up, clasped his fists, and bowed to Jian Ning and Ding Youtian. He said with some concern, "I think my apprentice is still not very good at learning. To be on the safe side, please take my pulse yourself, or go to the town and let Taigong take my pulse for me."
"Just tell me about the pulse condition." Ding Youtian asked Jian Ning to gouge out his eyes, and after hearing what he said, he felt anxious and urged him to tell him what the pulse condition was like.
According to Yang Jinyu's thinking, his master already had four children, and she herself was an excellent medical practitioner, so she must have taken sterilization measures long ago. Food accumulation, damp heat, or other difficult and complicated diseases could cause slippery pulse, so he didn't even think about the pulse of pregnancy.
"Just say it." Jian Ning also urged.
"Yes, tell me quickly, is my eldest sister's pulse not good?" Duan Xinyan became anxious when she saw him like this.
Yang Jinyu bowed again and said, "I'm ashamed. I only felt the pulse was slippery. I don't know about Master's appetite these days..."
He was halfway through his words when Jian Ning screamed and jumped up, hugging Ding Youtian tightly in front of everyone, cheering and jumping for joy. Ding Youtian also smiled and hugged her tightly, and this scene confused everyone present.
Duan Xinyan sneered in annoyance, "It's just that you're pregnant. Why are you so happy? It's not your first time to be a mother."
Erniu and Sanniu didn't know what slippery pulse was. They didn't understand it at first, but when Duan Xinyan said she was pregnant, they finally understood and jumped for joy.
Sanniu cheered, "Oh, we're going to have a little brother, and I'm going to be a big sister!"
Erniu also jumped up and down and shouted: "I want a little sister, not a little brother."
The two of them rushed towards Jian Ning, and Ding Youtian grabbed them and said, "Go away, go away, don't touch your mother's belly." He also pulled Erniu and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, daddy will beat you!"
"What are you doing?" Jian Ning slapped him on the shoulder and took Erniu, whose mouth was already pouting, over. "Let's ignore Daddy. Brother, sister, and mother will be happy."
"But daddy likes little brother." Erniu was pulled roughly by Ding Youtian, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Daddy doesn't like little sisters?" Ding Youtian also realized that he was too obvious just now. He softened his tone, "Daddy is afraid that you two will bump into your mother's belly. Daddy likes both brothers and sisters. Go play and don't make trouble here."
Knowing that Jian Ning was pregnant, and seeing that they were both overjoyed, as if it was their first time having a baby, everyone laughed and congratulated them. Chang collected her dishes and came over, took Jian Ning's hand and said with a smile, "Erniu and Sanniu are already ten years old, and you're pregnant again out of the blue. This baby must be a boy, giving Dabao a brother. Congratulations."
"I like both boys and girls, thank you Sister Chang." Jian Ning was really happy. She and Ding Youtian were both healthy, and Ding Youtian had been trying hard, but there was no movement. She really doubted that she would not be able to get pregnant after traveling through time.
Although there is the example of Wu Dui, Wu Dui is a man after all, so she naturally couldn't help but be happy now that she has the good news.
Jian Ning finally got pregnant, which more or less dispelled the gloom that Old Ding and Mrs. Meng had brought to Ding Youtian. After they left, he excitedly went to Blind Liu's house. When he opened the door and went in, he thought Blind Liu was home, and he was delighted. When he entered the yard, he found it clean and tidy everywhere. He looked around and realized that his master had never come back.
The house must have been cleaned frequently by the order of the village head and the clan leader. He found the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and sat on the wooden stool beside the table where Blind Liu used to sit. He picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Blind Liu, pressing the inkstone on the table. Then he found the guqin, held it in his arms and returned to the old house.
"Where did the guqin come from? Uncle Liu's?" Jian Ning then realized that it could only have been obtained from Blind Liu.
"Well, I heard my master play when I was young. He played better than Brother Yifan. But I didn't like it when I was young, and I never studied hard. But the other day on the mountain, I heard you and Brother Yifan play a piece together, and I thought it was quite good." He put the zither away and raised his sleeves. "Let your husband play a piece for the child in your belly."
"Can you?" Jane Ning expressed doubt.
Ding Youtian was full of confidence. He had an extraordinary memory and every fingering that Qin Yifan played that day was clear in his mind. But when he plucked the strings in the same way, the sound that came out scared Jian Ning.
"It sounds terrible, the tune is off, the strings are out of tune, you need to tune them first." She reminded Ding Youtian.
Ding Youtian had never seen a piano tuned before. He didn't know how to play it at all. It was useless to just remember the fingering. Moreover, his hands and feet were not coordinated. He was slower than others when he learned to ride a bicycle, let alone playing the piano with both hands at the same time.
"You still can't do it after all this time?" Jian Ning knocked him on the head with a "Pa". "Don't scare the baby in my belly. My music sounds like mountains and flowing water, but yours is like the howling of wolves and ghosts. If you scare the baby out of my belly, I will fight you to the death!"
"What's the point of coming here if you are so naive? Madam, don't worry. My child, Ding Youtian, is not that naive. Besides, I don't believe it, so I'll play it for you to see." Ding Youtian didn't believe it and fiddled with it for a long time, and even made himself angry.
"I think this zither has been put aside for too long, and it's not for me who can do it." He found a way out for himself, raised his eyes and saw Jian Ning sitting at the table with her lips pursed and smiling. He flicked his sleeves, stood up and said, "You can do it if you can."
"Come on! I don't know how to play the piano. You have to learn and practice. I won't make a fool of myself." Jane Ning was a little disappointed. She really thought Ding Youtian knew how to play the piano.
"That's not difficult. I will definitely practice until I can learn it before my baby is born." He stroked Jian Ning's belly and said with a smile, "When I learn it, I will play the piano and you will sing. When the baby is born, he will be proficient in everything."
Jian Ning slapped his hand away and said, "I have something serious to tell you."
