Since Liu Yaozhen found out she was pregnant, she no longer went out with Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu. She stayed in the yard to take care of the baby and asked Yu Jiao to check her pulse every few days. Her body was already in good condition and she was very happy about the arrival of the child. She was in a good mood. Liu Shu and his wife asked people to send various foods to her yard every day to nourish the body of a pregnant woman.
Liu Yaozhen's body became plumper and her belly gradually took on an undulating shape.
Yu Jiao and Yao Yu were afraid that she would get bored if she stayed in the yard for too long, so they bought a lot of storybooks for Liu Yaozhen to pass the time. They would go to her yard and sit for half an hour every day to chat with her and relieve her boredom.
Liu Yaozhen was busy sewing clothes for the children. She chatted and laughed with Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu while doing needlework every day. She was in a good mood and did not feel bored. She just missed Cui Mubai very much. Whenever she thought about how happy her husband would be when he knew she was pregnant after returning to Beijing, Liu Yaozhen could not help laughing.
After she had a child, the Cui family would no longer say anything behind her back and would secretly pressure her to let Mu Bai take a concubine. From now on, her life with her husband would become more and more harmonious and perfect.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? I often see you distracted lately. Be careful not to get pricked by the needle." Liu Yaoyu couldn't help asking when she saw that Liu Yaozhen was distracted again while they were talking peacefully.
Liu Yaozhen pursed her lips and smiled, "I was thinking about how happy your brother-in-law would be if he knew I was pregnant. Do you think he would be surprised if I go back home with a big belly?"
Liu Yaoyu looked at her face immersed in happiness, and her heart was blocked. Even her nose felt a little sore. She lowered her head and held the tea bowl to cover up: "Brother-in-law...Brother-in-law is so happy that he can't wait to be shocked. Sister, you have already sewn several pieces, take a break."
Liu Yaozhen smiled and lowered her head to continue sewing small clothes. She said bluntly, "When we return to Beijing, your brother-in-law will probably watch over me every day and won't let me do these things myself. I have to make a few more before we return to Beijing, so that I can have some clothes to change into after the baby is born."
When Liu Yaoyu heard her talking about Cui Mubai, she felt even more uncomfortable. She put down her tea bowl and said, "I'm going to go out for some fresh air. Third sister, you stay with me for a while."
Liu Yaozhen looked up and whispered to Yu Jiao, "What's wrong with her? Why is she unhappy for no reason?"
"Maybe I lost yesterday when I went ice skating with cousin Liu E." Yu Jiao made up an excuse and said, "Big sister, sewing clothes is hard on your eyes, don't work too hard. Didn't my aunt find a skilled embroiderer to help sew clothes for the children? You should walk around the yard more often and look at the flowers and grass. It's not good for the fetus if a pregnant woman sits still for a long time."
Liu Yaozhen put down the sewing basket with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, let's go for a walk in the yard."
Yu Jiao helped her up and went to the yard to admire the flowers. It was cold in Liangzhou, and the trumpet vines and jasmine flowers were growing very well.
Standing at the foot of the wall covered with clematis, Liu Yaozhen said with a smile, "I heard that you have helped General Feng treat many wounded soldiers recently, and you have also come up with several kinds of food for the soldiers to carry during the war. Even Young Marquis Gu praised you highly. Third sister, you are really amazing."
"It's not some fine food. I just heard the wounded soldiers say that they couldn't have hot meals during the war, so I casually mentioned the idea. Young Marquis Gu and his men asked people to try to come up with it." Yu Jiao had been going to the Pingliang military camp recently. She heard the soldiers complain that they couldn't even have a sip of hot soup during the war and could only eat cold and hard dry rations. Liangzhou was bitterly cold, and the battles with the wolf tribe were often fought in the snow, so sometimes the dry rations were so frozen that they could not be chewed.
When Yu Jiao couldn't sleep at night, she thought about modern self-heating meals. She thought that she could wrap quicklime in oil paper and put it in a small clay pot to heat the meal. The weather in Liangzhou was cold. If they were fighting in the ice and snow, rice and vegetables wrapped in oil paper would not go bad for a long time, which was quite suitable as emergency military rations for war.
Later, she told Gu Yun about this idea, and Gu Yun told Xiao Ning. They asked someone to study it, and they actually made a clay pot with two layers for easy heating and a quicklime heating pack according to this method. Later, Xiao Ning took the heated clay pot rice to trade with General Feng. No one knew what benefit he got, but General Feng had someone send two more carts of high-quality medicinal materials to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao met General Feng in the military camp a few days ago. When they were chatting, she mentioned the recipe of instant noodles. General Feng was very happy. He asked the cook in the military camp to fry the noodles and seasoning packets, and then called Yu Jiao to the tent to cook noodles. He also sent someone to deliver a cart of medicinal materials to Yu Jiao, including ginseng and snow lotus.
"Third sister, I think the young Marquis Gu seems to be interested in you. What do you think?" Liu Yaozhen was very proud of herself, and she was also worried about the marriages of her two younger sisters. Liu Yaoyu had her mother to worry about the arrangements, so she was not too worried. She knew that her mother and Yu Jiao were not very close. She saw that the young Marquis Gu treated Yu Jiao differently these days, so she figured out a little bit. She thought that Yu Jiao was young and might not think about it this way. It would be a pity if she missed this marriage, so she wanted to give her some advice.
Yu Jiao was not prepared for Liu Yaozhen to bring up this matter, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Big sister, I have no feelings for Young Marquis Gu. I am still young and want to see more of Taiyan's beautiful mountains and rivers. Recently, I saw the Yuquan Snow Mountain and the Endless River in Liangzhou, where the ice cracked and the moon reflected in the frost. I just felt that the beauty of the world was magnificent and made people open-minded and forget about petty love."
Liu Yaozhen smiled and said, "You, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, can you still live like that? I thought you were more stable and mature than Yaoyu, but I didn't expect that you are just like that girl, with a playful heart."
Yu Jiao also smiled. In fact, every time she saw those picturesque scenery, she wanted to share it with someone.
I really want to hold that person's hand and climb Yuquan Snow Mountain, and bury our heads in the ice and snow to slowly search for medicinal herbs, just like treasure hunting.
When they reached halfway up the mountain, he pointed at a crooked tree that was weighed down by the snow and said: Look, does that look like a drunk immortal?
Looking up, he saw the crescent moon on the towering snow-capped mountain, and turned back to ask him: If we climb to the top of the mountain, can we touch the toad laurel in the Moon Palace?
I want to sit with that person by the endless river, watching the men and women playing and playing on the glacier with a smile, and if I turn my head, I can bump into that person's warm eyes.
Yu Jiao thought that after leaving Beijing, she would pass by many landscapes, see the burning gold and flowing stones, the white snow, the thousands of feet high glaciers, and the towering snow-capped mountains; maybe she would not care so much, and would not be obsessed with just one person like him.
But it seems that is not the case.
She still seemed to like Yu Qizhe. She couldn't tell what was good about him, but she just couldn't forget him.
