“You are adults at heart. If you were not very mature before, after experiencing so much, you should be more sensible. You should not only learn to love yourselves, but also learn to love others. Since you have decided to get engaged, you should take it seriously and not treat it lightly.”
Song Zhuiyan spoke with them earnestly for a long time.
"Auntie, I understand. I won't say anything like that again." Song Tantan nestled in her arms, looking incredibly obedient.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I will correct the things I did wrong. I won't always contradict Tantan and make her angry anymore, and I will also control my temper a bit." Ye Moxun made a solemn promise, no matter what, he still had to show his attitude.
“Alright, since you are both determined, I will help you hold an engagement banquet after we return to Fengcheng. I will write a letter to your uncle and tell him the news.”
Song Zhuiyan smiled gently. She had become much quieter since becoming pregnant, as she was so lethargic that she didn't even have the energy to move around. After settling her niece's marriage, she felt even more at peace.
Ye Moxun originally intended to leave the inn today, but Bai Zhiyan's guards and maids suddenly developed high fevers, which did not subside until late afternoon. Therefore, Ye Moxun could not leave early and, after discussing with Song Tantan and Song Zhuiyan, decided to stay another night.
After confirming that the guards and maids had stopped having fevers, they continued on their way.
The three of them didn't go to the kitchen to cook all day. They ate food that had been prepared in advance and stored in their space for preservation. They had a lot of food stored, enough to last for several days. Even if they ran out, they didn't need to go to the inn's kitchen to cook. Song Tantan could directly enter the space and use biogas to cook.
Bai Zhiyan and her group cooked three meals in the inn's kitchen and also went in to decoct medicine, making countless trips to the kitchen each day.
After discovering that Ye Moxun and the other two hadn't come downstairs for dinner, Bai Zhiyan had a maid bring them some food. There were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, and a soup. It wasn't specially prepared; they just made whatever was available in the kitchen.
I only ate the meat that looked like pork, and threw away the rest that I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was because I was afraid of eating meat that I shouldn't have eaten and then having nowhere to vomit.
"The maids from the Bai family are quite skilled at cooking. The young ladies of noble families are so lucky. They've been waited on since birth, never lifting a finger, and are raised to be fair and delicate. It's a pity we can't get used to that kind of life." Song Zhuiyan tasted a few bites of the dishes the maid brought her, then stopped eating and started making conversation.
Song Tan waved her hand dismissively, her expression suggesting that he was right. "That's why habits are so important. After you give birth, I'll buy you a few more maids to serve you, and you can have an extra month of postpartum confinement."
There's a saying, "It takes three days to learn to be lazy, but three years to learn to be diligent." So, for the next two months, you won't do anything but take care of the baby. No, you can have a wet nurse take care of the baby; you can just lie around and rest. By then, you'll definitely become a pampered lady who wants to do everything.
What a terrible idea! Not a single word of it is reliable. Do you think she's easy to fool?
And why does this sound so off?
What do you mean by "learning to be lazy for three days, then studying diligently for three years, and still developing a lazy bone"? What nonsense!
"Get out of here, you're so unserious. It's exhausting talking to you. I want to eat cherries, kiwis, grapes, and apples." Apples are for the child's skin, and he must eat one every day. The rest are just cravings; he wants to eat whatever he can think of.
Song Tantan took out a little of each, no more than four ounces of each, because eating too much was bad. A balanced diet needs to be properly controlled, and overeating is not advisable.
As dusk fell, Bai Zhiyan's maid developed a high fever again, while the guard's fever subsided. He must have been in good health, because after the first fever subsided, his condition stabilized. He even woke up once in the evening and was able to eat some liquid food.
Ye Moxun was called over again to take the maid's pulse. After taking the pulse and examining her, Ye Moxun suspected that the wound was not clean, which caused the wound to become inflamed and that was why she had a fever again.
He frowned, guessing that the two young ladies of the Bai family and the other three maids were not professional in treating wounds, and had just applied some wound medicine and bandaged it up casually, not knowing that using alcohol to disinfect would cause the wound to become infected.
Although the guards' wounds were treated in the same way, the guards were men, and their bodies were naturally stronger than women's. In addition, the guards were skilled in martial arts, so they easily recovered. However, the maid's wounds seemed to be getting worse.
He called Song Tantan over to wash the maid's wound with alcohol. Medical care in ancient times was so poor that people could easily die. If it wasn't treated quickly, the maid might become a corpse tomorrow.
"What are all those people doing, making me make this trip?" Song Tantan was a little unhappy.
"They don't understand. You demonstrate once, and next time they can do it themselves." The maid's back was injured, and in ancient times, men and women were strictly separated, so he couldn't do it himself, which is why he let Song Tantan go.
"Alright then, I'll help them this time. I'm only helping them because of you."
Ye Moxun found it amusing, but did not refute it, his face remaining calm, with an expression that said he understood everything.
After Song Tantan went over, she asked the other three maids to help take off the clothes of the injured person. The injury was on the back, which was the most troublesome. The person could not lie down and could only lie face down. An unconscious person could lie face down until he vomited blood. Pressing on the stomach was very inconvenient.
She had been shot in the back before and had a deep understanding of how torturous it was.
"The wound is rotting, why don't they clean it up?" These people are blind, don't they know to scrape off the rotten flesh and just leave it there for the New Year? No wonder the medicine isn't helping, the wound is getting worse, this is going to kill him.
Bai Zhiyan and her sister were also present, but they were not good at serving others. They were always the ones being served. The Bai family had so many servants that they didn't need to do anything themselves.
