Chapter 248: Recuperation
Zhou Bo smiled bitterly and gently hugged her. He wanted to hug her fiercely, but the person in his arms was as soft as cotton and thin. Therefore, he did not dare to hug her hard for fear of hurting her, but tears fell on her pillow. It is said that a woman's birth is a ghost gate. In the past, this ghost gate was too far away from him, which was equivalent to stories and legends, but now it happened to his wife, and Zhou Bo was decisively scared.
However, Zhou Bo is still secretly glad that there are many women who died in childbirth in Dashun. Fortunately, he is also surrounded by his father-in-law. Thinking about fate, he still favored him very much. His family did not lag behind at all and met Xue Jian; when his life was dying, he met Xu Cong'an. And meeting Xu Cong'an is also because of Xuejian's ancient spirits. Xuejian, Xuejian, you are really the greatest blessing given by God to Zhou Bo! Xuejian, no matter where you come from, I won't let you leave me again!
Xue was confused by his tears. She did not push him away, but gently hugged him back and tried to reach out her hand to wipe off the tears on his face, but her hands were pressed by him and could not be pulled out. She searched carefully in her mind, and she didn't lose her memory. Oh, by the way! This is the delivery room! It's the delivery room when I gave birth! Xue Jian finally remembered. She quickly touched her stomach with her hand. Although it was still a little bulging, it was obvious that there was no child. The great pain before giving birth instantly remembered it, as if someone had been shouting in her ear at that time. It was the child! Is there something wrong with the child?" Child! Dalang, where are our children?
Zhou Bo hurriedly comforted her, "Silly girl, the child is sleeping in the next room." He lied so that his face did not blush and heartbeat. It can't be said that she woke up when she was dizzy. He was unable to take care of the child, so he handed it over to Du's family and took her away, right? He still held Xue Jian's hand and felt that the palm was as slippery as fat, and his slender wrist seemed to break with a gentle force.
When they breathed and heard each other, Xue Jian only felt that her face was hot. The two of them still hugged gently, and neither of them stopped talking. The candle crackled from time to time, but it added a sense of silence. The feeling of loss and recovery makes people feel more intoxicated.
After a long time, Xue Jian gently pushed Zhou Bo and said, "Get up... cough... get up and talk well." He should have been asleep for a long time and his mouth was a little dry.
Zhou Bo also remembered at this time, quickly let go of her, got out of bed and took warm water. "I'll help you sit up slowly. Alas, you drink slowly. Can you drink slowly..."
"I'm thirsty." After drinking the water, Xue leaned on the pillow and said calmly. Her soft lips were still watery under the candlelight, and then she giggled: "Not only is she thirsty, but also a little hungry..."
"Wait." Zhou Bo took two steps to the door and said a few words to the girls who were vigil in the outside the house.
After a while, there were small and rapid footsteps in the outer room, and the curtain was gently lifted. Xiaomei, Xiaoxing and Xiaoli rushed in at the same time, "Grandma, are you awake? You are awake!"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xuejian looked happily at the happy and sobbing faces of the three little girls.
Xiaomei put something in her hand, closed her eyes extremely devoutly, and whispered in a low voice, as if she were praying for something.
"The maidservant went to serve porridge for the young lady." Xiaoli looked at her carefully before turning around and leaving the room.
There was a brief noise at the door, but it calmed down immediately. After a while, Xiaoli came in with a bowl of Guigui brown sugar porridge in his hand. Master Xu said that this porridge warms the cold, has the effect of removing stasis and stopping bleeding, and benefiting qi and nourishing blood. Before she came forward, Zhou Bo had taken the porridge in her hand and added bluntly, "You guys have been tired these days."
Sure enough, Xue Jian faintly felt the power of cold jokes. She simply didn't know what to say. Looking at the three small faces in front of her, full of dementia and silly expressions, they were petrified in an instant.
Xu Cong'an lived in Zhou's house, so although it was late at night, Zhou Bo still rudely invited him to come and have a look. Xu Cong'an muttered, but after passing the pulse, he changed a milder prescription. What's the big deal? Do you have to wake up the old man in the middle of the night? Xue saw that this girl was just weak and could wake up early, which was not a strange thing! Isn't it time for him to reach out to the two of them?
Although Xuejian really wants to take care of the children by herself, the fact is that the child still follows Du.
When Xue saw her son, it was still hot in mid-May. Now she has been covered with two thick quilts, and she still feels a little cold all over, not only because of her weakness, but also because the weather has indeed turned cold.
Because I gave birth to a child, I fell down for three or four months. Xue Jian is a personal experience and feels the advantages of society thousands of years later! In today's era, human life is really as light as a feather. Whether it is war or disease, of course, women also need to add childbirth, which can make a young man lose his life easily, not to mention those old, weak, sick and disabled.
And a thrilling blood collapse also turned Zhou Bo into a bald man, which was really out of imagination. This traditional Chinese medicine, sure enough... I can only say that it is really amazing. Can everything be used as medicine? She didn't know, but Zhou Bo's hair stopped her bleeding, which was completely beyond her simple common sense. Although Zhou Bo's hair has come out unevenly now, every night when he takes off his hat, Xue Jian will touch his hand-tying hair stubble funny and affectionately.
Xuejian could not understand the importance of hair to the ancients, so she just thanked Zhou Bo for daring to rush into the delivery room to accompany her at her most critical moment. This act, which was incompatible with the customs of Dashun, made her feel hearty and moved. Suddenly, Xue Jian understood his love that he had not been good at expressing. She has always been more like a spectator and a passer-by for this society. At this time, she made up her mind to be more integrated with the Dashun and the Zhou family in her own way with Zhou Bo.
Xuejian is really trying to change. She even gave up the idea of taking care of the child. Every time she saw her father-in-law's appearance when she saw the child and her current attitude towards her, she secretly asked Zhou Bo, "Is this a sale for glory?"
But after Zhou Bo stared at her fiercely, she obediently closed her mouth and stopped saying anything.
Zhou Jia Sanlang has gone to Qingzhou to participate in the autumn. Everyone has placed great hopes on him and hopes that Sanlang can be admitted to be a person. This is not only a series of visible benefits such as exemption from part of the grain tax, but also brings a glimmer of hope to the Zhou family's separation from business.
The Zhou family's business is mysterious and stable. There is no need for the Zhou family to appear in person. At present, according to the snow, it is better to simply buy more land and then be a landlord, which is more affordable. Zhou Bo thought about it, but it's not. In fact, which of the officials in this dynasty is not in the name of the family's servants, otherwise how can they feed a large family? Now I can also buy more land to be a big landlord, a scholar, industry and commerce. This "farmer" is much more important than "business".
However, Xue Jian only came up with an idea. She knew that Zhou Bo was a smart man, and what she lacked was that she, a "immortal" who had practiced for more than 2,000 years. Xue Jian's body is still in recuperation. She often puts a rattan chair under the eaves and occasionally goes to the courtyard to bask in the sun.
Xue Jian looked very quiet, which made Zhou Bo inevitably say something that "if something abnormal happens, it will be a demon". However, Xue Jian was generous and ignored him. Once I went to Du's place to see the children, and also gave a big salute to Du and Zhou Shangyi, saying things such as "making my parents bother", which surprised everyone a lot.
Only Xuejian knew. She figured out why this was also her own family. Why did she have to pass by? In their minds, they are an intruder, so if they die again, the only thing they can do is Zhou Bo. In fact, think about it, the Zhou family is already very enlightened. They did not ask her eldest daughter-in-law to do morning and evening every day, nor did they come up with any moth to rectify her. They just have some complaints, some incomprehension, and some dissatisfaction. This is actually normal. After all, there is such a long generation gap.
Although you can't treat them like your parents in your previous life, at least you should actively show your sincerity.
Aunt Feng insisted on going to Qingzhou to take care of Sanlang, but was rejected by Sanlang. Now, she is very depressed. Although she was lifted by Zhou Shangyi because of Xuejian's birth, she is too lazy to walk around and just takes care of Xiao Shi Niang every day.
Aunt Wang is even quiet. Most of her time is spent on training her daughter's needlework and other projects, trying to reduce her sense of existence. Before the fifth mother gets married, she can talk less.
Aunt Zhao took the initiative to take the burden of helping Xuejian. Du didn't bother to guess what she was thinking. Anyway, now her grandson has occupied most of her time and energy.
Since Xuejian woke up, the women of the Zhou family have come together every day, so that Zhou Bo is about to bombard people.
Du was originally very worried about the second mother's marriage, but somehow, she suddenly changed her mind and said to Zhou Shangyi that this second mother's marriage was naturally handled by her brother and sister-in-law, which could not be wrong. Zhou Shangyi thought about it. This is Zhou Bo's direct sister, and Zhou Bo will never ignore it. According to Zhou Shangyi's meaning, it is best to read some books, and some grades at home should be the best, but looking at Zhou Bo's meaning, it's quite disapproving.
