Chapter 351 Yunzhou City
The journey was slow, with stops and starts. It took Cui Si and others thirteen days to leave Miaozhou and enter Yunzhou. It was almost June when they arrived at Yunzhou City.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. When Cui Si got off the car, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, feeling a little regretful.
If she had known that the journey would be so difficult, she would have been worried and scared, so she would have closed her eyes and simply not gone. As for Yan Xingchuan forcing her to get married, she had to agree to that.
"Madam, please come in." The man guarding the door invited her in.
As early as ten days ago, Manting came to Yunzhou City on horseback with seven or eight guards, purchased a house and renovated it. Now that Cui Si arrived in Yunzhou City, she could move in directly.
"Thank you for your hard work." Cui Si walked inside with everyone and nodded with satisfaction.
This house is larger than the one in Piaomiao City, with seven or eight courtyards. Behind the house, there is an alley separating a row of five or six courtyards.
There, carriages can be parked and accompanying guards can be accommodated.
This time, there is no need to find another place for the guards to live.
"This courtyard is nice. We will probably live here for a long time. If you need anything, please have someone prepare it and the money will be withdrawn from Nanxiang."
Returning to Yunzhou City from Piaomiao City was already risky, and the weather in June was so hot that Cui Si didn't dare to walk any further.
Besides, she didn't dare go back to Xianyang City to give birth to the child. It would be the same wherever she went.
"Okay, we're all tired, let's go down and rest."
"I will take your lady's pulse again." The one who spoke was Liu Chun. He originally knew some medical skills, and later Jiang Cinian gave him some guidance. Although he was still far behind the old doctor with superb medical skills, he still knew some skills in taking pulses.
I was able to do this thanks to his care along the way.
Cui Si nodded without any pretense. She simply rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her hand to feel his pulse.
Liu Chun felt her pulse on the wrist and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, my lady, the child is fine, but I'm a little tired. Please rest well these few days and don't overwork yourself. I'll ask a doctor to come and see you tomorrow."
Liuchun was only twenty years old and was still learning medicine. If it was a common minor illness, he could prescribe some medicine to treat it, but since it involved a child, he didn't dare to prescribe medicine carelessly.
"Then you can go and invite her tomorrow." Cui Si nodded in agreement, then said to the others, "Yunzhou City is not Xianyang City, nor is it Piaomiao City. I just want to give birth to my child here in peace and tranquility. When you are out and about, please try not to cause disputes with others."
Cui Si didn't want to have a restless life in Yunzhou City in the future, with troubles today and tomorrow.
"Of course, if the other party goes too far, there is no need to tolerate it."
"yes."
Everyone responded "yes", then stood up and left, each busying themselves.
As the sun set, when Cui Si came out of the shower, ice had been delivered to her and the temperature in the room gradually cooled down.
Cui Si was surprised: "Where did the ice come from?"
Song Lu fanned the ice basin with a fan to cool the room down faster, and then said:
"The weather is hot, and my wife hasn't been sleeping well. A few days ago, I asked Manting to ask among the clans in the city which one has an ice cellar. We have agreed with them to have ice delivered twice a day. Look, they just sent a few pieces over."
"With the ice, the room will be cooler, and my wife can sleep better."
"You are really thoughtful." Cui Silian didn't even think of this, but it was really hot these days, and it would be more bearable with ice.
"If you can buy more, then buy more and have someone make a cold drink or something so everyone can have something cool to eat."
Cui Si was always generous to the people around her, especially those who followed her around. She would always try her best to provide them with good food and other necessities.
Song Lu nodded quickly: "Don't worry, my lady. Yanzhi has already had someone prepare some sweet bean soup. Once it's ready, add some ice. It will be cool and sweet when you eat it, and it will also relieve the summer heat. We can all enjoy it with dinner later."
After a month of traveling, Cui Si had been worried about her child. Now that she had arrived, she felt much more relaxed. The temperature in the house was cool and comfortable, making her feel sleepy.
After waiting and waiting for a long time, I felt sleepy in waves during dinner. Halfway through the meal, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I ate a little quickly and went to bed.
The sun sank into the ground and the world fell into darkness. Yanzhi lit the night light on the lampstand outside the bed frame. Songlu dragged a mat over and spread it on the ground, and then made the bedding.
After finishing all this, the two of them sat on the bedding as if paralyzed, and let out a long breath.
These days, Yanzhi and Songlu have been worried every day, fearing that something might go wrong. Now that they have arrived, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a wave of fatigue.
Yanzhi yawned and felt sleepy too.
Song Lu was feeling better, so seeing this, he said, "Why don't you go to sleep first, and I'll take over in the second half of the night?"
Yanzhi was a little worried: "Can you do it?"
"Sure, why not!" Song Lu was suspected, and his cheeks puffed up with anger. "What are you suspecting me of? You can't suspect that I can't take good care of my wife, right?"
This is their job!
If they can't even take care of their wives, what's the point of keeping them!
Yanzhi thought about it and agreed, but she also warned, "You stay by the side for a while. If my wife feels hot, fan her for a while. If anything is wrong, call me immediately."
"Okay, I understand. Go to sleep."
The two of them arranged their shifts, and Yanzhi yawned again before rolling into the quilt, closing her eyes and falling asleep.
The summer nights are long, and the bright moon and frosty light shine down on the world.
......
When Cui Si woke up again, the sky and the earth were dark, and the sound of rain could be heard, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. The lightning was followed by thunder.
The temperature in the room was cool, but a little stuffy, with the dampness of a summer storm.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"Madam, are you awake?" Yanzhi hurried forward and lifted the bed curtains, hanging them on the hook beside her. "It's almost noon. If you don't wake up, I'll wake you up."
Only then did Cui Si realize that she had slept for so long and was already hungry.
"When did the rain start?"
"Half an hour ago, it was raining harder and harder." Song Lu came in with a copper basin and placed it on the basin rack beside her. Then she wet a cloth and brought it over to wipe her face and hands.
"Luckily we walked faster and arrived yesterday. Otherwise, we would still be on the road. It's raining so hard, and we don't know how to get out of the rain."
June is not a good time to travel, as it is scorching hot and there are sudden storms. Once the heavy rain comes, it pours down on your head and soaks you like a drowned rat.
Cui Si nodded upon hearing this and touched her belly: "Yes, I am really lucky."
