Chapter 219 219. Pregnant
"vomit--"
Shi Liu didn't expect that she would vomit after eating seafood porridge. Suddenly, she thought of a classic plot in a melodramatic TV series, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Could she be pregnant?
Calculating the date, it was quite normal for her to get pregnant. After all, the two of them had been together a lot recently and had not taken any contraceptive measures. It was only a matter of time before she got pregnant.
Zhou Pan, who was standing by, looked quite worried at first, but suddenly his eyes lit up. It was obvious that he had also thought of this, and his hands were shaking with excitement.
Zhou Pan himself actually doesn’t have much feeling for children, but this is the fruit of his love with Shi Liu, and the most important thing is that Shi Liu likes children very much.
Ever since getting married, Shi Liu has always wanted to have a soft and cute baby, but for some reason, she has never been able to do so. The two decided to let nature take its course, but unexpectedly, they got pregnant.
Zhou Pan said with some concern: "You are still in school now, can your body handle it?"
After recovering, Shi Liu no longer felt uncomfortable: "Don't worry, universities are different nowadays. Students don't need to work. As long as I pay attention to it every day, I will be fine."
Zhou Pan thought so too. He was now thankful for the changes in the university's teaching system, otherwise he would have been worried: "I'll take you to see Doctor Xia. If you feel unwell, you can also take medicinal food."
Xia Wuqi is a famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Hai City, and he is good at pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology. He used to work in the First Hospital of Hai City and is now retired. If it weren't for the friendship between Mr. Zhou and him, Zhou Pan might not be able to invite the old man.
Shi Liu thought of the delicious medicinal food he had eaten before and licked his lips secretly. Medicinal food is good for nourishing the body.
Xia Wuqi looked at the little girl who kept hinting at him, and said with a bit of amusement: "I do have a medicinal diet that is suitable for your current situation. It tastes good, but it will cost a lot to eat it for a long time."
Zhou Pan smiled and said, "As long as it's good for Shi Liu's health, it's reasonable to spend more money." Besides, he is not short of money.
Xia Wuqi said nothing more and wrote down the recipe and preparation method in a clear and concise manner.
Shi Liu smiled happily as she took the prescription. She looked so carefree, not like a mother at all. In fact, Shi Liu herself was quite surprised. She didn't feel anything special about her pregnancy. She didn't feel any excitement like people in later generations would say, but she didn't feel anything at all. This feeling was a bit terrible.
When Zhou Pan heard Shi Liu's muttering, his heart was filled with joy, because Shi Liu liked children and he had always been worried about having a child. Shi Liu's mind was mostly focused on the child, but now it seemed that he was worrying too much.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy that she was feeling sentimental. Shi Liu looked at the passersby outside and suddenly thought of Prince Fengming and his wife. "Zhou Pan, do you think Prince Fengming and his wife have been reincarnated? They don't accept the incense I burn anymore."
Shi Liu had told him about the reincarnation of Prince Fengming and his wife long ago, but Zhou Pan had not expected that the couple would be so proactive.
"The fact that they can't receive incense shows that they have already been reincarnated. They and their husband and wife already had merits, and after being persecuted by Emperor Feng Zheng for so many years, I guess they will be ranked first in the underworld as soon as they arrive."
Nowadays, the country has not yet implemented family planning, so it is quite easy to reincarnate.
"Zhou Pan, did they say that family planning is still in effect?"
"Some policies will be introduced in the near future. If nothing unexpected happens, the country will temporarily implement the two-child policy."
This number is a compromise. Regardless of whether the first child is a boy or a girl, you can have a second child. In this way, you will have two children to support you in your old age, so as to avoid too much pressure on your old age decades later.
Shi Liu nodded and said with a smile, "Actually, two children are great. It would be best if it were a boy and a girl, to make a perfect couple."
When she was little, she wanted a brother or sister, but the old man claimed that if he raised one of her, he would live ten years less, and if he raised another, he was afraid that he would die young.
She does have four brothers in this life, but unfortunately, they can't talk to her. Fortunately, when it comes to making money, they still have a lot to talk about.
Shi Liu soon realized that she had relaxed too early. When her classmates learned that she was pregnant, they all took over her work. Even at home, she received Zhou Pan's meticulous care.
Shi Liu can be said to have truly lived a life of having everything provided for her. She enjoyed it at first, but after a while, she was the first to surrender.
Not allowed to do this or that, Shi Liu felt suffocated.
Only after Shi Liu repeatedly expressed that she was fine did Zhou Pan finally let her do some light work.
Originally, Shi Liu wanted to embroider a bellyband for her baby, but Zhou Pan, feeling it was too hard on the eyes, forbade her from sewing during her pregnancy. She also wanted to practice carving, but Zhou Pan worried she might injure her hands. Ultimately, Shi Liu had no choice but to practice in the classroom, putting all her dance and other high-energy activities on hold.
Fortunately, she can also practice calligraphy and Chinese painting. So, in addition to her daily pharmaceutical studies, Shi Liu simply put all her energy into calligraphy and Chinese painting.
Shi Liu likes the Songti style the most. She practiced this style of calligraphy in her previous life, but it was hard pen calligraphy.
The Slender Gold style of calligraphy was created by Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, and Xue Yao is considered the "ancestor of the Slender Gold style." Although she personally disliked the incompetent Emperor Huizong, this did not prevent her from appreciating the Slender Gold style. Although he was a terrible emperor, it is quite bizarre that this hobby of his has been passed down through the ages.
Zhou Pan looked at the painting in front of him with admiration in his eyes: "This is Phoenix Mountain, and it is also the scene where we saw the wronged souls of Ying Jiuge and others that day!" The inscription above the painting is integrated with the whole painting. It has to be said that the Slender Gold script is very suitable for this kind of weird style of painting.
Dozens of ghosts with miserable faces are floating on Phoenix Mountain under the night sky. With Shi Liu's superb painting skills, the whole painting is full of weirdness and eeriness, which makes people want to cry just by looking at it.
Shi Liu is very satisfied with her work this time. She feels that her painting skills have improved.
I then opened the system to check, and sure enough, my painting skills had been upgraded from level 3 to level 4.
A Level 4 painting could already be so moving, but what about Level 5 or 6? Shi Liu took a deep breath and silently calmed her frantically beating heart. It seemed she would have to keep working hard.
Suddenly Shi Liu burst out laughing. Zhou Pan looked at her in surprise: "Why are you laughing so foolishly?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly thought of the Crown Prince and his wife. If they knew that I am now concentrating on practicing Chinese painting, I am afraid they would be very happy."
Zhou Pan nodded: "Your upgrade speed is quite fast this time, perhaps you have found the rhythm."
In fact, Shi Liu herself also has this feeling. Recently, when she paints, her inspiration is unrestrained and her brush follows her heart, just like this painting "Soul Hidden in Phoenix Mountain". Afterwards, even she herself found it incredible.
