The winter in Zhucheng is extremely cold, something Aruan felt deeply during his first year here.
Time flies. Counting on his fingers, he and his wife have been here for almost two years. This year is also their second winter in Zhucheng.
A'ruan had been well taken care of by Wei Min in the past two years and rarely got sick. On weekdays, she didn't even have a headache or fever. Erjiu, who accidentally caught a cold, was very envious of this.
Maybe it was too cold these two days, and I felt cold in the coldest days of winter. Not long after lunch, I started sneezing one after another.
As evening approached, Aruan put on a hood and cloak and accompanied Erjiu to the pharmacy.
Although the weather was cold, the streets were bustling. The stalls at the roadside night market have been set up, and the aroma of various snacks is tempting.
Erjiu was drooling as he watched, but his nose was blocked and he couldn't smell anything.
Ah Ruan found him funny because he looked like a greedy cat. He raised his hand and tapped his forehead, saying:
——Even though you are not feeling well, you are still thinking about eating.
Erjiu rubbed his nose with a bitter face. When he saw Aruan taking his hand out of his sleeve to gesture to him, he immediately pushed his hand back and said, "Master, if you get cold, you are not allowed to go out this winter."
When Ah Ruan heard Er Jiu mention Wei Min, he remembered something:
——Your adult likes to drink bean curd. Since you are here, bring her a bowl later.
Erjiu wanted to say yes, but he sneezed as soon as he opened his mouth and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
A Ruan looked at him worriedly and took him directly to the pharmacy.
There was a charcoal basin burning in the medicine shop. When I lifted the thick cloth curtain and walked in, a warm air mixed with the smell of medicine hit me in the face. It was much warmer than outside.
After Ah Ruan entered the room, he saw that there happened to be a doctor on duty today, so he quickly asked Erjiu to come over and ask the doctor to take his pulse.
Erjiu was reluctant, lowered his head and snorted, "It's just a minor illness, just take some medicine, no need to see a doctor."
Getting medicine is different from having a doctor take your pulse. Sometimes the latter consultation fee is more expensive than the medicine.
As soon as Ah Ruan heard what Er Jiu was worried about, he glared at him and raised his hand to say:
--obedient. Can the money for your medical treatment be reduced?
Erjiu was forced by Aruan to sit in front of the doctor, raising his arm and exposing his wrist.
The doctor put his fingers on the patient's pulse and asked a few more questions before smiling and saying to A'ruan, "It is indeed a minor illness. He only needs two doses of medicine."
Erjiu raised his head and smiled at Aruan, "I told you I'm in good health."
"Oh, right," Erjiu remembered something, and while lowering his sleeves, he turned to A'ruan and said, "Master, do you want a doctor to feel your pulse? If two people feel your pulse, we can see if it can be cheaper."
A Ruan wanted to say that doctors always charge a fixed price for medical treatment and there is no such thing as a cheap price, but then he thought, since he was already here today, he might as well let the doctor take his pulse as well.
It’s not that he’s not feeling well, but I want to ask why he and his wife have been married for more than two years, but there’s no movement in their belly?
My sister wrote to me a few days ago, saying that Liuliu is already one and a half years old, and looks a bit like Wei Min when he was a child, which is really adorable.
A Ruan wanted to see what his wife looked like when she was a child, but Qingping County was too far away from Zhucheng, and Wei Min, as the county magistrate, could not leave at will. Even if he wanted to see his little niece again, he could only fantasize about it through the few words in the letter.
Speaking of the child, A Ruan couldn't help but touch her belly. Both he and Wei Min are in good health and they have done that a lot on a daily basis, so why isn't he pregnant yet?
Although Wei Min told him that there was no rush, A'ruan wanted a child from the bottom of her heart.
A Ruan never told his wife about this in person, but only mentioned it to Erjiu during a casual chat.
A Ruan thought about it, took his hand out of his sleeve and handed it to the doctor. Regardless, it's not a bad thing to take a look.
Erjiu knew that his master was shy, so he asked for him, "Doctor, my master has been married for two years, why hasn't she gotten pregnant yet?"
He asked so bluntly that Ah Ruan blushed a little, and she smiled and glared at him.
Erjiu stuck out his tongue in a flattering manner.
The doctor smiled when he saw that the atmosphere between the master and servant was as relaxed as that between real brothers. He raised his hand and placed his fingers on A'ruan's wrist through the scarf.
Her face looked relaxed at first, but after her fingers felt A'ruan's pulse, she frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.
When A'ruan saw the doctor's serious look, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but put away the smile on her face and pursed her lips nervously.
Erjiu also had a worried look on his face, twisting his hands nervously together. Seeing that the doctor was hesitant to speak, he said, "Don't just frown."
"Don't worry, let me take a closer look." The doctor frowned and took your pulse again. Finally, he withdrew his hand and shook his head. "Excuse me, I took it twice and the results are the same. I'm afraid it's not easy for you to get pregnant."
A'ruan's eyes trembled when he heard that, and his whole body seemed to be frozen, freezing in the chair.
Erjiu's eyes widened in shock, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? My master is in such good health!"
The doctor shook his head and said, "You can't just look at the surface to see whether a person is healthy or not. His health was very poor before, and it has only gotten better in the past two years."
The doctor frowned and looked at A'ruan with some hesitation, "I don't know if I should say this, but I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if you knew."
Ah Ruan took a deep breath, tucked his trembling hands into his sleeves and pressed them against his legs. He calmed himself down, pursed his lips and looked at the doctor:
——You say it.
The doctor then said, "It is not easy for you to get pregnant, but it does not mean that you cannot. Your servant also said before that you have been married for more than two years. Your body has been well maintained in the past two years. Logically, you should be able to get pregnant.
So I think you can ask your wife about this. Maybe she deliberately avoided having sex with you at times when you might get pregnant. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been pregnant for two years without any sign of pregnancy. ”
Erjiu didn't understand what the doctor said, and stammered, "You mean, the master deliberately prevented the master from getting pregnant? How is this possible!"
The Lord loves the Master so much, how could he deliberately not want him to have children?
A Ruan's face was pale and ugly, his lips were tightly pursed, but he didn't say anything. He just quietly lowered his eyelids to hide the expression in his eyes.
Erjiu was so distressed when she saw Aruan like this that her eyes turned red. She asked the doctor anxiously with a crying voice, "Do you have any medicine that can help my master get pregnant?"
"Yes, yes," the doctor wrote a prescription with a pen, "If you want to get pregnant, you can take some medicine to recuperate first. But I advise you to start with your wife. If she doesn't have sex with you, your medicine will be useless."
The matter of having sex with the master depended on what A'ruan did. Erjiu, a servant, could not say much. He could only take the list and follow the apprentice to get the medicine from the back, leaving A'ruan sitting there in a daze.
The doctor saw that he was a man and that after learning that his wife didn't want him to get pregnant, she not only didn't make a fuss, but was unusually quiet. So he said, "You can go back and ask your wife about this matter. Knowing the reason will help you prescribe the right medicine."
Upon hearing this, Aruan forced a smile but shook his head.
He finally figured out why his wife was always happy to see him having her period every month, and why there were certain days every month when his wife refrained from touching him no matter how much she wanted it.
He had wondered about this before, but now he finally knew that she didn't want him to get pregnant...
He knew that his health was seriously weak, and he only found out about it today after seeing the doctor. But what about his wife? She didn't even know about this, so why didn't she want him to have a child?
Wei Min didn't want to have a child with him, and this made A Ruan feel suffocated. He asked, what should he do if he asked something he didn't want to hear?
A Ruan felt that Erjiu was right. His health was not good, so he could take some medicine first and then take care of other things slowly.
When I came out of the pharmacy, it was already getting dark.
The two of them walked towards the yamen in silence. During this time, Erjiu wanted to speak several times, but after taking a look at Aruan's face, he closed his mouth again while holding the medicine.
When they reached the bean curd stand, Erjiu subconsciously glanced at Aruan. Seeing that he had stopped on his own initiative, he dared to ask in a low voice, "Are you buying more for adults?"
Hearing the voice, A Ruan turned his head in a daze and looked at Erjiu with a confused look. It was obvious that stopping just now was just a subconscious habit.
Erjiu felt a pain in his heart and his nose was a little sore. He suppressed his tears and asked again, "Are you going to buy Douna for the adults?"
Ah Ruan pursed her pale lips and stared at the steaming bean curd stand in front of her with unfocused eyes. After a while, she lowered her eyes and nodded.
After Erjiu finished buying the bean curd, A'ruan seemed to have made a decision. He raised his hand to him with a serious look:
——Don’t tell your wife about what happened today, and don’t let anyone else know that I’m taking medicine.
Although Erjiu didn't know why A'ruan did this, he nodded obediently and said, "If the adults ask, I will say that I took the medicine."
Ah Ruan nodded in agreement.
When they came back, Wei Min was reading in the study, so A Ruan brought Dou Nao in to her.
Wei Min smelled the aroma, immediately put down his book and walked over from behind the desk, lowered his head to smell the soybean brain, smiled, lifted up his skirt and sat at the table, saying, "It smells good."
A Ruan chuckled and handed her the spoon.
Wei Min didn't rush to take the spoon, but held his hand first. When he touched A Ruan's icy fingertips, he frowned and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"
As he spoke, Wei Min reached out and pulled A'ruan over to sit on her lap. He held both of his hands in his palms and brought them to his mouth to breathe on them, and then he warned, "Erjiu is already cold. You should stay away from him for the next two days. Don't let him catch your sickness. If you are worried about him, let Shiba take care of him."
A'ruan leaned in her arms docilely. Hearing her words, his heart ached and his eyes became hot. He couldn't help biting his lips and lowering his head.
Wei Min felt that A Ruan seemed a little strange today, so he looked up at him and saw that he looked pale. He raised his hand worriedly, put his palm on his forehead, frowned and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Ah Ruan was afraid that she would notice something was wrong with her, so she pulled her hand away and shook her head:
——I am a little worried about Erjiu.
Wei Min sneered at him, laughing at him for worrying about nothing, "He should be fine after taking the medicine for two days."
Although Erjiu looks short, his physical condition is much better than Aruan.
Her Ah Ruan had been carefully cared for and raised by her for two years, and now she was getting better, but she could not be careless.
The author has something to say: Small theater
A Ruan: Why don’t you let me get pregnant?
Wei Min: I don’t want more people to compete with me for you╯^╰
Ah Ruan: ...My wife is probably a narrow-minded person_(:зゝ∠)_

Future children: I seem to be disliked QAQ
