Chapter 180: Pregnancy

"What are you talking about? Where did I say I didn't believe you? I'm not trying to be cautious, that's why I have to make sure again! In the empty and uninhabited grove, Zhou Yaoguang, whose cheeks were crimson and full of shame by the words of the man in front of him, bowed his head slightly, and flashed his eyes timidly: "Don't worry, I believe you."

"That's right! My good Yaoguang. ā€

With Zhou Yaoguang's explanation, he stretched his brows, and showed a hearty smile, and the man continued with a solid effort: "You can rest assured, Yaoguang, after taking this medicinal powder, no matter which doctor comes to check the pulse, it can only get the result of happy pulse, so the matter of summer frost and cold pregnancy, at least within three months, will not be debunked in any way." Don't worry, do it! ā€

"So...... All right. Zhou Yaoguang, who gave himself a reassuring pill because of the man's persuasion, nodded and pulled the small porcelain bottle into his sleeve. So, a month later, in mid-March, when Su Yixing rushed back to the capital from Liaodong after finishing the case, there was another uproar in the Xiangyang Palace.

March 19 is a sunny and sunny day in spring. In the afternoon when birds chirped and the breeze was blowing, the carriage carrying Su Yixing, who had returned from going out, stopped outside the gate of Xiangyang Palace. And the smiling Xie stood at the gate to greet Su Yixing, and there was also Xia Shuanghan, who also welcomed his return.

"Hey, I'm thin again, why do I have to lose weight every time I go out and come back?" Raising his head slightly, he looked up at his stepson, who had lost a lot of weight, and Xie Shi, who had a look of pity and concern on his face, said angrily: "Why are you so busy outside, Zhechen, don't you even have time to have a good meal?" ā€

"I have it, I eat regularly and on time every day, but my body is disobedient, I have to lose weight, and I can't help it!" Responding to Xie with a smile, he couldn't help but sweep his gaze to Su Yixing, who was cold in the summer, and immediately provoked Xie's ridicule: "Hey, as the saying goes, if you don't see each other for a day, like every other autumn, I, I still don't prevent you little couple from talking to each other." ā€

"Aunt Su, why is there a very strong sour smell in your words?" He responded with a light smile to Xie Shi, and then turned to Su Yixing's Xia Shuanghan, and soon after some greetings, he returned to Tingtao Courtyard with him who was tired and dusty.

At both ends of the delicately embroidered screen, in the steamy room, Su Yixing, who was sitting in a bathtub at a comfortable temperature, and Xia Shuanghan, who was forcibly dragged by him on the other side of the screen, chatted with each other in the past month.

Needless to say, Xia Shuang's cold days, except for the fact that she has been paying attention to who knocked her unconscious a month ago, her daily life is no different from usual, and nothing new has happened. As for Su Yixing's situation in the past month, Xia Shuanghan roughly learned about it from the small paper scroll that Li Qinglan sent back every once in a while after explaining the misunderstanding in early February.

The case that Su Yixing went to Liaodong to handle this time was, in essence, a case of an official-civilian dispute.

In the jurisdiction of a county in eastern Liaodong, there is a Qibao Mountain that is famous for producing various rare medicinal materials. Due to the steep mountain and rugged mountain roads of Qibao Mountain, it is impossible for the government to organize large-scale people to go into the mountains to pick herbs. Therefore, in order to meet the demand of the royal family and the aristocratic class for precious medicinal materials, the prefectural ordinance of the area where Qibaoshan is located proposed a policy ten years ago that "the common people can exchange herbal medicine for tax exemptions".

For the people in the vicinity of Qibao Mountain, the policy of exchanging herbs for tax relief was originally good news.

After all, if the collected medicinal herbs can be used to offset the taxes of the year, then all the production in the fields during the year will be owned by the farmers themselves. In addition, if you can exceed the picking task, you can sell the excess herbs that exceed the tax limit to the government. Such a preferential policy is believed to be great news for every peasant household who wants to get rich.

It's just a pity that although the policy sounds good, there are always problems of one kind or another when it comes to implementation.

In recent years, as the price of precious medicinal materials has risen all the way, the people near Qibaoshan have come up with the idea of "suffering a loss" in the face of the government's unchanged tax reimbursement and herbal purchase price for ten years.

After all, ten years ago, a Ganoderma lucidum plant could be used to offset a month's tax, and ten years later, the same grade of Ganoderma lucidum can only be deducted from a month's tax when the market price has doubled, and such a transaction, no matter how you look at it, is obviously unreasonable.

Therefore, in order to risk their lives to climb down the cliff to collect medicinal materials in exchange for the corresponding price, the people near Qibao Mountain finally chose to sell the picked medicinal materials to business travelers who came to the town from other places to do business after ignoring their "price increase" requests several times by the government.

As a result, the prefectural magistrate, who has been in office in the area where Qibaoshan is located in recent years, can no longer continue to use his power for personal gain, playing the trick of "buying medicinal materials at ultra-low prices and then selling them at a high price, so as to earn a middle price for himself".

Therefore, in the face of these "disobedient" herb pickers in their own jurisdiction, the "loss" county order chose simple and brutal force suppression in order to force them to comply, so as to achieve the goal of forcing the people to sell medicinal materials to the government. The people, who did not want to be oppressed, united and chose to resist with armed resistance by countering violence. In this way, after several confrontations between the government and the people, the violent conflict became more and more intense, and finally rose to the level of causing death.

A total of 13 people died in the yacha and the people, and the county commander was seriously injured and unconscious, and the people hid in the mountains in order to escape the pursuit of the government...... The entire Qibaoshan area was completely chaotic because of the rebellion of the officials and the people caused by such a county order that was rampant in the township.

"The people who hid in the mountains were really scared, and I persuaded them to come out of the mountains and talk to me, but they were afraid that I would carry out armed suppression and give them a damn of everything. Therefore, for the sake of their own safety, they were stunned to kidnap the daughters of the official family who passed by and take them hostage on the mountain, so they dared to send someone down the mountain to negotiate with me. Hey, now it's obviously a peaceful and prosperous world, but those people are forced to fall into the grass, and the county order really makes a good ability! ā€

Su Yixing, who was sitting in the bathtub and taking a bath, said in his mouth that the "passing official daughters" were actually the unlucky daughters of the Lu family. If Lu Shaoyun's aunt knew that she would get into trouble if she took her niece back to her parents' house, she would get nine cows to pull her, and she probably wouldn't want to pull her to Liaodong.

As for the distraction, there was no progress in the marriage, and even the aunt's family didn't get to see each other, just after going down the mountain, Lu Ruhui, who hurriedly followed the frightened aunt back to the house, was also frightened, and gave birth to a faint feeling of "blessing in disguise".

"I heard Qinglan say that when you went up the mountain to pick up the hostages and go down the mountain, you really had a good time saving the beauty with one hand!" Outside the translucent screen, Xia Shuanghan, who was sitting on a round bench with his hands on his knees and his hands on his cheeks, recalled the past events of his previous life, and said with a mocking smile: "How about Su Zhechen, did Lu Ruhui fall in love with you because of this incident, like in her previous life?" Or, why don't you marry her back as a side concubine? ā€

"Ahem...... cough cough ......" In the screen, Su Yixing, who was accidentally choked by his own spit after hearing Xia Shuanghan's words, said resolutely with panic and repulsion: "Shuanghan! Such a terrible joke, please don't talk nonsense, okay? I'd rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life than call Lu Shaoyun an uncle. ā€

"Hey, if Lu Ruhui heard you say this, it is estimated that one of her hearts will be broken." Xia Shuanghan, who thought that Su Yixing in his previous life could marry a good wife and mother like Lu Ruhui, was already a great happiness, and in the face of Su Yixing's current words, he pursed his lips with a little regret and regret. On the side of the screen, Su Yixing, who didn't like her current tone very much, stood up with a "bang".

"......" could vaguely see the scene over there through the screen in front of him, and was stunned by Su Yixing's sudden stand-up. Subsequently, she silently recited "Don't look at indecent things" several times in her heart, and hurriedly left the sentence "I'll wait for you outside", then stood up and turned her head and ran out.

At sunset and dinner, in the main courtyard of Xiangyang Palace, the four people sitting around the round table finally got together again for a reunion dinner after a long time.

"Zhe Chen is back, and the misunderstanding at the beginning of February has been opened, although the fly in the ointment is that the mastermind behind the plot Frost has not been found yet. But in any case, it's always good for everyone to sit and eat together happily and together like they do now. At the fragrant dining table, Su Chunfeng, who picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with his son, finished saying this, and all the dishes that should be served were served.

The fish in the sauce drizzled with bright colors has always been very popular with summer frost in the past, but today I don't know why, the dishes that she basically don't smell fishy on weekdays are fishy to her now. And after smelling this fishy smell, the strong churning sensation in her stomach also made her nauseous and nauseous at the same time, she couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her stomach.

"What's going on? Feeling uncomfortable again? Did you eat the wrong thing in the last few days and make your stomach hurt? Seeing Xia Shuanghan pinching his nose and pushing the plate of sauced fish away from him, Xie Shi, who had already noticed that his daughter-in-law had some signs of gastrointestinal discomfort since yesterday, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and turned to her and said: "If you are really uncomfortable, don't eat these oily and salty things, I will let the stove room give you a bowl of soft preserved egg and lean porridge, what do you think?" ā€

"It's okay, don't worry about it, as long as you don't touch the greasy and fishy, it's basically fine, you don't have to worry." Xia Shuanghan, who picked up chopsticks and sandwiched some light side dishes for himself while speaking, smiled and comforted Xu: "Gastrointestinal discomfort or something is a small problem, and it will be fine to raise it for two days." ā€

"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? Faced with Xia Shuanghan's reaction to stomach discomfort, Su Yixing, who frowned slightly, leaned over and asked, "How many days has the uncomfortable situation lasted?" Did you ask Dr. Qin to come over and check your pulse? ā€

"I've been feeling uncomfortable since yesterday morning, but I haven't had any violent reactions, so I didn't bother Dr. Qin." Xia Shuanghan, who didn't want the Su family to work hard for his slight discomfort, raised his hand and used chopsticks to clip his favorite dish to Su Yixing, and then urged him: "Okay, eat quickly!" If you still feel uneasy after eating, ask Dr. Qin to come and check my pulse. ā€

"Okay." Su Yixing, who rarely got the treatment of her personally serving vegetables here in Xia Shuanghan, didn't want to waste the good atmosphere in front of him and suppressed the bad premonition that sprung up in his heart. It's just that after dinner, when he and Xia Shuanghan both returned to Tingtao Courtyard, Dr. Qin, who came to diagnose the pulse, turned his bad premonition into reality with a firm diagnosis.

"Back to the princess, the princess, she is not a stomach upset, but a real happy pulse." In the inner room of the main room of Tingtao Courtyard, as one of the three people present, Dr. Qin, who had taken four steps and walked steadily at every step, replied truthfully according to the pulse he had touched: "This is indeed a happy pulse, and there will be no fake." ā€

"You...... What did you say? Hearing what Doctor Qin said, he had already believed in the innocence of Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun, and had always hoped that the idea he had just sprung up at the dinner table was just his own hearty Su Yixing, and he couldn't accept such news like a thunderbolt from the sky for a while.

And Xia Shuanghan, who had always believed that she was still a virgin, so at the moment when Dr. Qin made the "happy pulse" diagnosis, she was stunned by the statement that it was impossible for her to be true, and protested loudly after coming back to her senses: "Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! ā€

"The princess is indeed a happy pulse, no matter which doctor comes to check the pulse, this result, I can vouch for my reputation as a doctor for decades."

Doctor Qin, who rescued Xia Shuanghan in Tongcheng Pass, so he knew how Xia Shuanghan and Su Yixing's current marriage came about, and the moment he found out the happy pulse, he decided that this vein must have nothing to do with Su Yixing. And Su Yixing's reaction now is indeed exactly what he expected, which is generally the same.

"Let's ...... Let Dr. Du also come to check the pulse of Frost Cold. There was still the last trace of luck in the heart of the drama, hoping that this pulse was indeed Su Yixing, who had been misdiagnosed by Dr. Qin, and soon found another doctor from the Xiangyang Palace, Dr. Du.

It's just that to his disappointment, Dr. Du's diagnosis is exactly the same as that of Dr. Qin - Xia Shuanghan is indeed a happy pulse, and it will definitely not be wrong. (To be continued.) )
