How did he know that the lady was pregnant? Although the shopkeeper wasn't a doctor, his wife had given birth to four children for him, so he naturally knew a lot about the reactions a woman would have after becoming pregnant.
When his wife was pregnant, he once made her get up in the middle of the night to cook a dish herself. Poor him, he was just a shopkeeper and not a chef, so he really wasn't good at these things. After he finally finished cooking and brought it into the house, his wife had already gone to sleep.
Eat? What's there to eat? I've completely forgotten.
But he didn't dare to wake anyone up at the time.
Such an experience is something that those who are not yet married have naturally never encountered.
So this lady from the capital just wanted to eat the restaurant's Mapo Tofu and had her husband bring her there; it's very common and not surprising.
Normally, such an impolite request wouldn't be made, and one's tastes wouldn't change so drastically.
What surprised the shopkeeper the most was that the gentleman was actually willing to come out. He knew that the young masters from wealthy families were not the type to pity their wives, since there were maids to take care of everything.
The young couple has such a good relationship.
The shopkeeper chuckled to himself, glanced at the sky outside, and decided not to rush back to rest, since it would be dawn soon anyway.
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai were exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, and slept soundly in bed. They didn't open their eyes until the sun was high in the sky the next morning.
Hongluo had already gotten up by this time. Not only that, but she also took advantage of the fact that her two masters were still asleep to go back to the royal villa and fetch some things. She was waiting outside at this time, and Kangtai and the coachman had also gotten up.
Although they went to bed late last night, they both slept well in the latter half of the night and woke up this morning feeling refreshed, showing no signs of the tiredness they had shown the night before.
After Fu Hanlai finished dressing, he looked at Jiang Xuelin and snorted coldly, "Would you like to continue with the Mapo Tofu today?"
Eat, eat, eat!
This young master wants to see if you can still keep eating!
They live in this shop, so go ahead and keep eating if you dare!
Jiang Xuelin really wasn't interested.
It's normal for people to suddenly crave something to eat, right? After eating and feeling satisfied, isn't it even more normal to not want to eat anymore and instead want to eat something else?
So she only gave Fu Hanlai a contemptuous look.
However, she didn't get a chance to properly practice her martial arts while out today. Fortunately, she had loosened up her muscles and joints more than once along the way, so it was fine even if she didn't practice martial arts today.
Seeing that Jiang Xuelin didn't want to talk to him, Fu Hanlai was very angry.
"Since we're here now, why don't we continue to wander around casually today? We were in such a rush yesterday that we didn't get to see many places yet." With Hongluo's help, Jiang Xuelin finished tidying everything up and, thinking about how different the scenery of Lingcheng was from that of the capital, suddenly became interested and said excitedly.
What's the point of the royal villa? Since we've come to Jiangnan, we should naturally enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan. Staying in the royal villa all day is no different from living in the capital.
Fu Hanlai had no objection to this. He was also not happy to stay in the royal villa. It was much more enjoyable to come out and have fun. This was a rare opportunity.
"Let's get this straight: you can continue to sample all the local snacks in Lingcheng today, but don't eat too much! Don't eat too much! Don't eat too much! Understand? You can only have two bites of each kind, no overindulgence!"
He still remembered that Jiang Xuelin had eaten too much yesterday and vomited all over him!
He didn't want to get vomited on again today, so it was necessary to make arrangements in advance.
Jiang Xuelin: "..."
He glanced at Fu Hanlai but didn't say anything.
She's not a child. She knows she's not used to the local environment and shouldn't eat too much, so how could she still eat like she did yesterday?
"Hongluo, you should go back and rest. Let Luluo come with me today. When you get back, take care of the things we brought this time." Jiang Xuelin felt sorry for her maid who had come out late last night, guessing that she hadn't slept well.
Once everything is sorted out, you can finally take a rest.
Finally, the two set off with Kangtai Green Ivy.
One of their destinations today is the Suhe River, which runs through Lingcheng. They can find a painted boat, take a boat trip on the river, and enjoy the breathtaking scenery on both sides.
Some wealthy families here own their own pleasure boats, while others rent them out specifically to rich people. They had already made preparations yesterday, arranging for people to find pleasure boats in advance.
It wasn't very big, but it was very exquisite. The decorations were very thoughtful, and the curtains were made of the finest gauze, the kind that only a select few would use.
Some couples enjoy taking their servants on these pleasure boats so that no one will disturb their enjoyment.
Of course, some self-proclaimed romantic literati also liked to rent such a pleasure boat and bring their female companions to cultivate their relationship.
Jiang Xuelin and Fu Hanlai were on the painted boat. They both stood at the bow, watching the boat slowly drift across the river, passing under the curved stone arch bridge, with swaying willows on both sides.
In February, Lingcheng is ablaze with flowers, and the weeping willows on the riverbank have already dipped their delicate arms into the water, swaying gently in the breeze.
"Like a graceful young lady," Jiang Xuelin commented.
"I've heard that many painted boats with lanterns will come by on the Suzhou River at night, and some of them will have famous courtesans on board. Why don't we come again tonight?"
It looks different from how it appears during the day.
These are two different kinds of scenery. Daytime has its own charm, and nighttime has its own charm. During the day, the willows along the dike are intoxicated by the spring mist, while at night, it is the famous courtesans who are intoxicated by the spring mist.
