Chapter 145: The County Lord and the Box
In the Zhiyun Courtyard, Gu Qing's sluggishness continued.
"Wan Ning said that I once heard the old lady look at me and say that I was infertile or something, and I was thinking at the time if there was something wrong with me that the old lady could see, and I was embarrassed to say it." Before the county lord of Deyang came, he also specially inquired with a few families who were familiar with the Xinguo Mansion, and they all said that they should talk directly to Mrs. Qiu, and she couldn't understand it, so although the county lord of Deyang was ashamed, he still explained his request straight to the point.
"So I want to ask Mrs. Qiu, but what's wrong with me?"
Gu Qing couldn't imagine that he looked at "Danfeng Chaoyang" and said casually, "Isn't this the name of the infertility hospital", but Wan Ning heard it and remembered it in his heart.
This Deyang county lord seems to have a problem with this, and he really takes it seriously.
Gu Qing originally wanted to explain that she didn't know medical skills, but when she saw the look of expectation on the face of the county lord of Deyang, and thought that she almost lost her life in order to save herself, she hesitated to open her mouth.
"Excuse me, are you sure that there is nothing wrong with you and Xiong Yibin?"
If the man is not able to do so, it is useless for the woman to get pregnant easily. People don't have good swimming skills, and they can't find a girlfriend.
Gu Qing said directly, and the face of the county lord of Deyang turned even redder.
"I didn't ...... No problem. Our husband and wife have a very good relationship, and my husband rests in my house except when he is looking for cherished flowers and trees outside. Body...... The body is also very good. ”
Gu Qing rubbed her chin, looking at this, Princess Deyang is very happy, and that is for other reasons.
Since the county lord of Deyang can give birth to Xiong Ping, it means that there is no problem for both of them, so what will happen?
"That'...... How often? Gu Qing almost didn't ask how long it was.
The county lord of Deyang showed his little daughter, "The grandmother in the palace said that women are most likely to get pregnant before and after Kwai Shui, so I have sex with my husband before Kwai Shui comes and after Kwai Shui comes, and my Kwai Shui is in the second half of the month, so most of the time is concentrated in the second half of the month, and in the first half of the month, my husband will go back to his house or go out to do his own business." ”
Gu Qing swallowed his saliva.
Uh, the first five and the last six are safe periods, right?
Which grandmother has a grudge against her and told her the "secret recipe" for such a cheat?
And is it taboo for princesses and county lords in this era to have the same room, and they can't be together all day long? Can only be half a month a month?
"You...... Ay! "Gu Qing doesn't know what to say." Do you come to Kwai Shui every time? ”
"Yes, I always come around seventeen in the second half of the month." Seeing that Gu Qing seemed to have found the reason, the lord of Deyang County was also excited.
"Oh, then I'll give you a list." Gu Qing said to Mama Hua: "Do you have this year's yellow calendar at home?" Give me a copy. ”
She couldn't find a desk calendar and calendar, so she had to use a yellow calendar to make up the numbers.
"When did you get this moonflower water?"
As for how to calculate the safe period, Gu Qing is clear and clear. The menstrual events of the county lord of Deyang came so accurately, indicating that her ovulation period was also very accurate, so she circled her dangerous period with a red pen on the yellow calendar according to the calculation method of the safe period.
After she finished calculating, she handed the yellow calendar to the county lord of Deyang.
"It's not very accurate." Because the calculation date of the lunar calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar, "but in any case, the chance of conceiving is much higher than the days you used to have intercourse." The secret you told your former grandma was not right. ”
Gu Qing saw the surprised look of the county lord of Deyang, and he didn't say much. Because she couldn't popularize the tadpoles and eggs to the ancients, she had to say lightly: "I can't tell the county lord what you are doing for you, but you have sex with you according to the time that the old body gives you to use a red pen to criticize, and I think there will be good news soon." ”
The lord of Deyang County is only in his early thirties, and in this era, it is common to have children at the age of forty.
The county lord of Deyang took the yellow calendar and hurriedly flipped through it from beginning to end, which was really surprised. According to the above drawing, she used to have sex with her husband when she couldn't conceive?
She thought about it for a while, and it seemed that the time she was pregnant with Xiong Ping was because the two of them went out to play......
"Thank you, Mrs. Qiu, for your kindness." The county lord of Deyang bowed deeply to Old Taijun Qiu, "If I can have another child, I must have prepared a heavy gift, thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome. This one is not absolute, you can try it anyway. Gu Qing was worried that this Deyang county lord had a blocked fallopian tube or something after giving birth, so it would be useless to do anything. However, looking at the very healthy appearance of the county lord of Deyang, he doesn't look like a person who will get this disease.
The county lord of Deyang grabbed the yellow calendar, as if he was grasping some life-saving straw, which made Gu Qing sigh.
In this era, having no children or having few children seems to be the biggest original sin of women. Fortunately, she was wearing an old lady, and I didn't know if she could accept it if she had to go through a monthly aunt (no winged angel), pregnancy (no prenatal check-up and B-ultrasound), and childbirth (all up to people) in this ancient world.
After all, she is too accustomed to the convenience of modern society.
Although this old lady collapsed when she coughed, she didn't have Kwai Shui, and she didn't need to worry about questions like "Ah, I didn't have a baby/boy".
Thinking about it this way, my twenty-eight-year-old age (I'm really embarrassed to shamelessly say that I'm still twenty-six after two years), my fifty-eight-year-old body, and my sixty-eight-year-old face don't seem so difficult to accept.
Gu Qing was still chatting with the county lord of Deyang about various health care knowledge, and in the North Park, the two children were already familiar with it.
"So, you were looking at the fish on the porch and wanted to eat it, didn't you?" Wan Ning sat on a chair in the verandah, holding his chin and asked Li Zhao.
Li Zhao had never seen such a beautiful little girl at home, so white, so beautiful in clothes, and her voice was like a silver bell. He nodded dumbly.
"Well, my cousin and cousin both said that this fish was too expensive to eat."
"The ones I've eaten, it's not delicious, it smells of mud." Wan Ning said with a grin.
"Huh? Have you ever eaten it? Li Zhao blinked, "Does your mother give you food?" ”
"My mother has passed away a long time ago......," Wan Ning's face fell, "I was brought up by my aunt and uncle." ”
Li Zhao didn't dare to ask Wan Ning why his father didn't raise him, he saw that Wan Ning was dressed so beautifully, and felt that it should be the daughter of a big family, at least bigger than his family, and the bear child was ashamed of himself, so he hurriedly remedied and said: "Our cousin Rui's mother and mother also passed away, but his grandmother and cousin treated him very well, isn't he also very happy?" You have eaten such expensive fish, I can't even think of it! ”
Wan Ning was amused by Li Zhao's words. "When I was a child, I thought, how is this fish different from ordinary fish? Why do you only look at it and don't eat it? Because it's very unpalatable? So I asked my uncle. ”
"And then?"
"My uncle can't answer either." Wan Ning said with a serious face and a tone of "adults are actually so stupid", "So my uncle and I fished two of them and boiled them in water and ate them." ”
She spread her hands, "Our family has this silver and that flower color, it's unpalatable!" ”
Li Zhao's ambition that had been coiled in his heart since he entered the mansion was finally shattered, and he let out an "oh" in disappointment.
"It's hard to eat. No wonder you can only watch. ”
Everything he could only see was useless, well, he remembered.
"You call Li Rui cousin, are you a relative of the Xinguo Mansion?" Wanning asked curiously.
"Well, I'm from Jingnan's hometown, my father and Xinguo Gong are cousins, my name is Li Zhao." Li Zhao nodded and looked at Wan Ning expectantly, "Who are you?" Is it also a relative of my cousin's family? ”
Wan Ning smiled and shook his head, "I'm a guest in the mansion, just like you." My surname is Chu, you can just call me Wanning. "Girls are not particularly close, they will not tell others their full names, even if they are acquaintances, they will call at most one word in their names, such as young lady and Yan Niang.
Chu Wanning?
Li Zhao repeated the name in his heart several times.
Well, it's not very nice.
"The flowers and plants in your house are so ordinary, isn't there anything unusual?" Wan Ning looked around, but he didn't see any precious varieties, they were all ordinary flowers and plants.
She didn't know that several male owners of the Xinguo Mansion didn't like flowers and plants, and famous flowers and expensive species needed to be carefully taken care of, their family didn't have that idle mood, and they raised ordinary flowers and trees, if it weren't for the fact that there were many flowers and trees left in the garden several generations ago, this garden would be even more ordinary.
"Flowers and plants you haven't seen before?" Li Zhao tilted his head and thought for a while, "I'll take you to see something, you must not have seen it!" I've never seen it before when I came to the capital! ”
"Huh? Are there any other xenomorphs in the Shinkoku Mansion? Wan Ning stood up excitedly, clapped his hands and urged him, "Take me quickly, I won't stay here for long." ”
The two children went back to the pastoral residence with laughter and laughter, and Mama Sun and Xiangyun followed behind, next to them were several maids from the Deyang County Lord's Mansion.
"This ...... Is it appropriate? Let the county lord of Wanning follow Young Master Zhao like this? Xiangyun had a calm personality, and asked Grandma Sun with some peace of mind.
"It doesn't matter, isn't it all in the North Park? These two are still children, besides, that is the county lord, what is there to worry about. "The county lord is a clan, can he be considered an ordinary girl?
"Why do I feel bad?"
"She is a guest, we are servants, where is there a servant who cares about the guests, and they can't do this or that. We just need to pay attention to the safety of the two little masters and don't have an accident. Mama Sun has served several masters of the Xinguo Mansion for almost her whole life, and she has a thorough understanding of how to be a servant, "You don't have to think too much, just look at it." ”
Wan Ning was led by Li Zhao to return to the pastoral residence. This is the place where Mrs. Qiu grows vegetables, and a few acres of vegetable fields are taken care of by the servants and children of the family.
There are also rattan trellises erected on both sides, which are crawling with loofahs, gourds and other vegetables, which is even more wild.
Wan Ning's mouth opened wide when he saw Nanada.
There were so many flowers here that she couldn't recognize.
Li Zhao saw Wan Ning's surprised expression, and the heroic feeling in his heart spontaneously arose.
Hahaha! Shocked! He knows them all!
"What kind of flower is that yellow?"
"That's celery flowers! Pretty, right? Li Zhao bent down and grabbed a snail from the celery and threw it far away.
"Hey, you catch bugs too?" Wanning suddenly felt that he had found a soulmate,
"Yes, Mama Jiang said that snails eat young leaves, and when I saw it, I threw it away."
"That's it! I still have locust damage in my house, I always eat the leaves of flowers! I caught it and threw it away, and I was always told by Sister Lu that girls shouldn't always play with bugs. Where am I playing with bugs, I'm afraid that the shoots will be eaten! ”
"Sister Lu? Don't worry about her, the older kids are like that, they make the act of 'I know everything, I'm just for your good' all day long, but they don't understand anything. Li Zhao looked like a little adult and said that the eldest child was not good, he was talking about his cousin Li Jun.
"And what kind of flower is this?" Wan Ning pointed to a large cluster of flowers behind him.
"It's a leek flower. The ones that don't bloom are young, the ones that bloom are old, and the kitchen sometimes has to be tender and sometimes old, so I sometimes pick some old ones and sometimes some tender ones. Li Zhao glanced at it and said casually.
"Kitchen? Can you still eat this flower? ”
"Huh? These are dishes, of course you can eat them! ”
"Is it a dish? Aren't these flowers? ”
"It's a vegetable, it's a flower." Li Zhao said as a matter of course, "The vegetables are blooming, of course, they are vegetables and flowers." ”
"Oh, I don't know if I can eat the flowers in my house." Wanning muttered curiously.
"What's the difference? It's all grass. "Li Zhao hates eating vegetables the most, all the vegetables are chewing grass in his mouth, but his mother forced him to eat vegetables, so he had to reluctantly eat some grass." Since they are all flowers and plants, they should be able to eat them, right? ”
"Then I'll go back and study and see if my flowers can be eaten. I'll go back and find something delicious, and I'll invite you to eat it. ”
"Okay, I've been living in the Xinguo Mansion, where does your family live?"
"I live in the Deyang County Lord's Mansion."
Li Zhao took a "hiss" breath.
"County ...... Princess? Isn't that a relative of the emperor's lord? Are you a princess? ”
"No, I'm the county lord. I'm not the princess's daughter, I'm a relative of hers. Seeing that Li Zhao was so out of shape, Wan Ning didn't dare to say that she was the niece of the "emperor's master", so she had to change her words.
'What is the county lord?' The emperor's daughter is a princess, and the prince's daughter is the county lord...... The daughter of the county magistrate is the county lord? Li Zhao muttered in his heart.
It turned out to be just the daughter of a county magistrate, living in a relative's house, just like me. His family is not even a county official, and it is rare that other girls don't dislike me, so I can't let her look down on me. ’
"Oh, what about me...... I'm a villager. Li Zhao said hesitantly.
He's the son of a squire, so he should be called a countryman, right?
The people in the capital are so strange, the daughter of the county official is called Miss, and she is also known as the county lord.
"Chests? Is that your nickname? Wanning asked curiously.
"Uh, sort of...... Isn't it hard to listen to the villagers? Li Zhao also felt that the name sounded weird, and he didn't have any momentum, so he touched his head embarrassedly.
Mama Sun was already laughing and helping Xiangyun to twitch.
"No, it's very good. I don't think it's unpleasant. Wan Ning comforted Li Zhao empathetically. It's not up to her to decide the nickname, she still thinks her title is ugly, hasn't she been called for almost twelve years?
She doesn't seem to dislike other people's names, even if their nickname is "Box".
En. She wants to be a good girl.
"The box, let's go look at the other flowers, no, look at the other dishes." Mannings pointed to several other flowers.
Xiangzi ......
Li Zhao kicked the soil in frustration.
It's not imposing at all.
"What kind of flower is this?"
"This one is a peanut. The fruit underneath it can be eaten. I'll dig one for you. Li Zhao excitedly shaved out the peanuts and showed them to Wanning.
"It turns out that the peanuts are in the soil. My family will beat gold peanuts for New Year's money, and I thought it would grow on a tree. Wan Ning pinched the little peanut curiously, "Dig me a few more, I'll take them back to play." ”
Li Zhao nodded and dug up a bunch of peanuts.
It's only late June, and many peanuts are not yet ripe, Li Zhao pulled out all the peanuts that couldn't be eaten in order to please the new children, and Mama Jiang felt distressed for a while.
"This ...... What is this? ”
"It's lentils. The purple and the white are all lentils. ”
"Where's this?"
"Pumpkin flowers. Here's a little pumpkin, see? ”
"Hey, really. You know a lot about the box! ”
"Hey, hey......" Li Zhao touched his head embarrassedly, thinking that he had come too right to listen to his grandmother's visit to grow vegetables. I grow a lot of them here, and every day I dig up some vegetables and send them to the kitchen for my grandmother. My grandmother said that she loved to eat the dishes at home, and said that the source of the food from outside was unknown, and she was not at ease eating. ”
"You planted these?" Wan Ning's adoring eyes made Li Zhao's small chest stand taller.
"It's my ...... Planted with Mama Jiang. He really didn't have the face to say that he planted these acres of land.
"That's pretty remarkable, too. Such a large field. I only grow tweed at home occasionally. I'll grow some and eat them myself. "Mannings became interested in growing vegetables." Give me a little seed and teach me how to plant it. ”
"Good! Mama Jiang, are there any seeds here? ”
Mama Jiang brought some seeds and seedlings over and told the two masters how to plant them. Wanning has even planted precious flowers and trees at home, and these vegetables are so easy to grow compared to them, he didn't even need a pen and paper, so he wrote them down in his head.
After a while.
"Have you ever seen a duck egg that has just been laid? It's still hot! Li Zhao suddenly thought that there was still a treasure in the garden, and hurriedly offered the treasure.
"I haven't seen it, can I take a look?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to the duck house to find duck eggs." Li Zhao was about to pull Wanning's hand, thought about it, and glanced at Wanning's dress again. The color of Mannings' dress looks very fresh, and it looks easy to get dirty.
"But the duck house is not very clean, and your dress and shoes may get dirty. And the duck house stinks too. Li Zhao hesitated for a moment, "Otherwise, let's not go to the duck house, I'll go find you a duck egg." ”
Wan Ning planted flowers at home and wore all the boys' clothes, and he didn't care about pinning the sleeves and skirt corners at the moment, "Let's go, so you won't be afraid of soiling the skirt!" ”
Li Zhao saw that her personality was very crisp, and she didn't have the squirming appearance of those girls at home, so she immediately grinned, and the two children ran to the duck house excitedly together.
"This ...... Has this county lord always been so lively? Xiangyun asked curiously the girl from the Deyang County Lord's Mansion. She was embarrassed to ask if the county lord had always been so "rough".
"Poof. It's all when you're covered in mud at home. The girl from the Deyang County Lord's Mansion covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Does your young master also want to farm?" ”
Xiangyun also smiled now. "Well, yes, the four young masters of our family have all grown vegetables. I also have to catch ducks, sweep duck houses, and pick up duck eggs. Our wife is not allowed to pamper them. ”
"It's a great way to see us. I thought that a few masters of our family would be out of line by personally serving the flowers and plants. Back there is another point to talk about. ”
"It's okay, I'm watching, they don't dare to talk to you! Whoever nags you, I'll catch it and take it to the kitchen as a dish! Li Zhao puffed up his chest and imitated Li Rui's appearance and threatened a few ducks.
A few maids were chatting on the side, and Wan Ning also endured his fear and successfully took out a duck egg from the duck house.
"Oops, a lot of mud."
Li Zhao was stunned for a moment, not daring to say that it was duck dung, so he had to smirk.
"Hehe, if you leave it alone, you will be able to hatch ducklings in a while. Why don't you bring one back to play? ”
"There will be ducklings, huh? Then I won't take it back, I can't steal other people's children. Wan Ning put the duck egg back again, "Next time a duckling comes out, I'll come and see it." ”
"Good! So how do I contact you? Write a letter? ”
"Yes! My cousin and your cousin are studying together, so you can write to ask Mr. Li to bring it to my cousin Xiong Ping, and let my cousin bring it to me. I'll ask my aunt or cousin to take me to see the ducklings! ”
"That's a word!" When Li Zhao heard that Wan Ning would still open, his smiling eyes were gone.
"County Lord, County Lord is ready to go back, have you finished playing?" A girl shouted in the distance.
"Oh, I'll come!" Wan Ning looked at Li Zhao regretfully, "Box, I'm going home." I'll play again next time. Otherwise, you ask Mr. Li to take you to my house, there are a lot of flowers and plants in my house, although you can't eat them, but they are beautiful. ”
"Hmm!"
The two children made an agreement to meet next time, and they reluctantly parted.
On the other side, the county lord of Deyang carried the yellow calendar given by Gu Qing, and with a beautiful vision for the future, he and the county lord of Wanning got into the carriage back to his home.
When the husband comes back half a month later, it will be the day that Mrs. Qiu has planned. When her husband comes back, she will try......
Lord Deyang thought with a red face.
This time, he was not allowed to go to the mountains to find Yelan again.
The county lord of Wanning is happy to have made a like-minded friend with him. She has never had a peer around her to grow flowers and grass with her, and his cousin Xiong Ping has not loved flowers and trees since he was a child, even if his aunt and uncle can't cultivate them.
Although the box looks average, and the nickname is also very strange, but I know a lot.
After a few more days, Wan Ning made pies made of flowers at home, and his heart was very inspired.
It turns out that flowers and vegetables are the same, and they can be eaten!
She was happy in her heart, and when she returned to the room, she picked up her pen and wrote a letter to Li Zhao. In order to show her intimacy, she did not raise her head with "Li Zhao", but wrote with a pen:
"Box: Living Anji." She thought about it, thought it was funny, and started writing again.
"A few days ago, you told me that there is no difference between vegetables and flowers......"
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Mother Duck: Ahhhh The dead kid brought another kid! Ahhh She took my balls!
Daddy Duck: The dead kid said I went to nag him and he ate me.
Mother Duck: 5555, when will this day come to an end!
