With her mother Chen and mother-in-law Shen watching over her, Jiang Yuzhu thought she would follow the rules, not be able to wash her hair, not ventilate the room, and have an extremely miserable confinement period. However, the actual situation was different from what she imagined.
I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, I don’t need to be fed, and I just need to tell her what I want to eat. Aunt Lanhua can do almost anything.
After getting up, she walked out of bed. If the weather was good, she could wrap herself tightly and go out for a walk in the back garden.
"Mom, didn't you say that you can't go out during confinement?"
Mother-in-law Shen has no principles. As long as Jiang Yuzhu pretends to be pitiful, she will immediately soften her heart. But mother Chen is different. She is very cautious about the things she decides.
In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, after noon, the weather is neither too cold nor too hot, and the sun is just right.
The maids and old women cleaned and washed and hung the beddings to dry every day.
Without the worry of getting up at night, Jiang Yuzhu slept through the night.
Mrs. Chen was pruning branches. Upon hearing this, she glanced at her daughter and said angrily, "Mother, are you so unreasonable?"
I set such strict rules before because I was afraid that my daughter would develop a chronic illness during the confinement period.
Women's bodies are not as healthy as men's, especially women who have given birth, who have more minor ailments.
"Mom asked Divine Doctor Shao for advice. It's worth listening to what Divine Doctor Shao says."
Go out for a walk and feel relaxed.
As for washing your hair, it’s not impossible, just don’t do it too frequently.
The mother and daughter were chatting, and the nanny carried Fugui and Wanwan out to bask in the sun.
Seeing the two little buns, Jiang Yuzhu immediately went over to tease them.
She waited almost until full term to give birth, and her son and daughter grew up to be very healthy.
In just a few days, the wrinkled skin healed, becoming white and tender, and her face looked like a meat bun.
"Look at the young master and young lady. They can eat and sleep well and are not noisy. The one with delicate eyebrows and eyes looks more like the lady."
The two wet nurses remembered the master's instructions and brought Fugui and Wanwan forward.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at it carefully and glanced at the wet nurse in surprise. How could these two people tell lies with their eyes open?
No wonder the midwife said on the day of delivery that both the children would look like Xie Zhao.
Before the full moon, one could already see the outline that was similar to Xie Zhao's.
Jiang Yuzhu had already accepted her fate, and now hearing the servants say this, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Fugui and Wanwan are more like the master."
After a few days of psychological preparation, Jiang Yuzhu had calmly accepted it. When she listened to the wet nurse talking about the two babies' drinking patterns, she thought to herself that as long as their tempers didn't become like Xie Zhao's, everything would be fine.
At present, my children are too young to see any evil intentions.
Jiang Yuzhu was just thinking when Xie Zhao strode into the garden.
"snort!"
Thinking of what Xie Zhao said on the day of giving birth, although there was nothing wrong with it, she just didn't like it. Jiang Yuzhu unilaterally declared a cold war with Xie Zhao.
"Yuzhu, I bought your favorite marinated duck and Suzhou's specialty crystal pork elbow."
Xie Zhao approached Jiang Yuzhu cautiously. Chen stood up and left quietly, leaving space for the two of them.
"Are Fugui and Wanwan full?"
Seeing no response from his wife, Xie Zhao changed the subject without getting discouraged. He handed the oil-paper bag to Hongli beside him and took the initiative to talk about the two buns.
As a new father, Xie Zhao felt a strong sense of novelty.
At this time, the two little kids closed their eyes and were drowsy.
"Just fed, the young lady can eat more than the young master!"
The nanny was embarrassed and tried to lighten the mood.
Xie Zhao stepped forward and took his daughter. Feeling that she was being held in a different embrace, the little girl opened her eyes and hummed uneasily, arching her head against Xie Zhao's chest, asking for milk.
"this……"
The nurse was also confused and muttered softly, "That shouldn't be the case. I just drank it a quarter of an hour ago."
After feeding, the wet nurse patted the little lady and she burped.
"Maybe I smell like pickled duck."
Xie Zhao's face darkened, and he pretended to be calm and tried to make excuses for himself.
Unexpectedly, Wanwan didn't give Xie Zhao any face and kept rubbing against his chest. When she couldn't drink milk anymore, she burst into tears loudly.
Xie Zhao's expression froze, and he immediately asked in a panic, "Nanny, did Wanwan pee?"
The kid is still young and doesn't understand much, but he knows that he feels uncomfortable after peeing.
Wanwan's crying sounded miserable and aggrieved. Jiang Yuzhu felt distressed and quickly hugged her daughter and patted her gently.
Feeling the comfortable embrace, Wanwan rested her little head on Jiang Yuzhu's chest, feeling the softness, and squinted her eyes with great satisfaction.
Xie Zhao immediately realized that Wanwan was crying not because she was hungry, but because she simply didn't like his embrace.
The reason is an unchangeable fact: Xie Zhao has no breasts.
You are so young, and you already know how to enjoy yourself?
Xie Zhao curled his lips, his eyes full of doting as he said, "They say a child's character can be seen at the age of three. Wanwan, this little girl, has taken after my wife in terms of temperament."
Since she is a daughter, she must be pampered.
Xie Zhao had already made plans to learn more from his father-in-law Jiang Fulu.
"You've noticed all this?"
Jiang Yuzhu held Wanwan in her arms and rocked her, and she quickly fell asleep.
Xie Zhao found it interesting and took Fugui over. As expected, he was met with earth-shaking cries again.
The crying and shouting startled Wanwan, and the brother and sister screamed together at the top of their lungs.
Jiang Yuzhu had a headache and glared at Xie Zhao. She handed Wanwan to the wet nurse and then took her son back to coax him.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief after the two little ones fell asleep.
"Ma'am, you should go back to your room and rest."
The confinement room had been cleaned, and Hong Jin came over to call for help.
Jiang Yuzhu walked in front, followed closely by Xie Zhao.
When they got to the inner room, Jiang Yuzhu sat in front of the dressing table. She took out her hairpin and let down her bun, and her long hair fell down instantly.
"Your husband combs your hair."
Xie Zhao stood behind his wife, combing Jiang Yuzhu's long, smooth black hair.
Just a few days after giving birth, Jiang Yuzhu's figure has returned to normal. From her waistline, you can't tell that she was pregnant. She has a curvy figure and has lost her youthfulness, gaining the charm of a mature woman.
Xie Zhao, who had been a monk for a long time, had a gloomy expression and swallowed hard.
The room was silent.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at herself in the mirror and realized something was wrong. She turned around and asked, "Yuanhe, do you have any plans to return to Beijing?"
The capital had just put down a palace coup, and Xie Zhao was needed to help with everything.
It was not easy for him to rush from the capital to Suzhou to accompany her during childbirth.
"Don't worry, wait until you are out of confinement, and then we will set off together."
Xie Zhao pressed Jiang Yuzhu's shoulder, motioning her to sit down and rest. He handed her a cup of scented tea and said, "Even though Queen Dowager Xuan hanged herself, Lu Yunxi escaped."
Recently, Xiao She has been worried about catching Lu Yunxi.
A large number of people were sent out, but Lu Yunxi seemed to have evaporated into thin air, with no news of him left.
"Lu Yunxi is the descendant of Queen Dowager Xuan. Back then..."
Xie Zhao explained the whole story. Lu Yunxi had been dormant for more than ten years, and did not borrow the power of Queen Dowager Xuan. Instead, he chose to use Queen Dowager Xuan as a stepping stone. He was not a simple person.
Such a person spying in secret is indeed a serious threat.
"Besides, I'm worried that he might harm Fugui and Wanwan."
Rather than saying that Xiao She defeated Lu Yunxi, it would be more accurate to say that Lu Yunxi was defeated by Xie Zhao.
That person holds a grudge and will definitely seek revenge.
After Xie Zhao's analysis, Jiang Yuzhu also had some concerns. She said depressedly, "Yuanhe, if you say that, Lu Yunxi should hate me even more."
