Xu Jiayi's eyes sank, "Can't you?" ”

"It's not...... Naturally, yes. Mama Hua shook her head, she was just a little surprised. Seeing Xu Jiayi's wilting expression, she hurriedly replied, "Madame didn't mention this, and the slave maid thought that Madame didn't like Changzhou and didn't want to leave the house." If the lady wants to go out, the slave and maid will arrange it, and she only needs to bring some government soldiers to ensure safety when she leaves the house. ”

"Although Changzhou is not as prosperous as Yanjing City, there are many people doing business on the street, and there are also a lot of fun and delicious food.

"Then I'll have to try it." Xu Jiayi's eyes lit up, and she smiled in the next second.

Mama Hua did what she said, and it was already arranged that day. In less than half an hour, he went back and forth, telling Xu Jiayi that she could leave the house as soon as she was ready.

After getting the news, Xu Jiayi was overjoyed, so she took Yuanxiang and Cuiyun to choose the clothes that Ming'er would wear when she left the house.

Thinking of following the local customs, I found a style on the border to try.

The next day, Xu Jiayi went out of the house and looked at the streets of Changzhou, and the smile on her face did not stop.

The streets were very lively, there was no imaginary desolation, there were many vendors selling all kinds of items, and even many of them gave her a lot of things after learning that she was Chu Changfeng's wife, until she finally made it clear that she really couldn't get it, so she regretted not giving it anymore.

During the conversation with them, two of the three sentences in their mouths were praising Chu Changfeng and her father-in-law Chu Minglei, and Xu Jiayi was also happy when she heard it.

Sure enough, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it.

As soon as she went out, she felt the enthusiasm and heartiness unique to Changzhou.

I didn't visit many places after a whole day, but there were a lot of things. Some of them were bought by her, but many more were given away. However, Xu Jiayi felt sorry for them for doing business, and asked Yuanxiang to give silver. After they returned home, Xu Jiayi was still unsatisfied, and she was still thinking about when she would come out to shop next time.

Even Xu Jiayi happily went back that night and wrote a letter to tell everyone in Shangshu Mansion how fun Changzhou was, and then handed the letter to Yuan Xiang and asked her to find someone to send the letter out tomorrow.

When Chu Changfeng was there, there was no need to keep people in the outside world to keep vigil.

But when Chu Changfeng was not there, Xiangqiao, Cuiyun, and Yuanxiang took turns sleeping outside, and the other maids Xiangqiao was not at ease, but she could trust Mama Hua, but Mama Hua was old, and she didn't want her to be too tired.

After waking up, Xu Jiayi wanted to go and ask Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Chu to say goodbye, but who knew that Chu Minglei was not in the house today and had already gone out.

Although Chu Minglei is recuperating at home most of the time, he still has a lot of things to do. However, he was busy with the internal affairs of the Anping Marquis Mansion, but the affairs of the army.

Butler Chang couldn't rest assured that he wanted Chu Minglei to go in a sedan chair, but Chu Minglei glared at him and refused with a look of disgust, and rode away by himself.

Since Mrs. Chu was not in the house, Xu Jiayi went straight to Rongyang Hall, and after having breakfast with Mrs. Chu, she took a walk in the backyard and slowly turned back to Fengyuan.

Yesterday, I went out to buy a lot of books and came back, Xu Jiayi felt that she would read one in three days, and it would take several months to read it. So when she went back to the yard, she picked out a book that she was very interested in yesterday and came out to see, this is the story of a scholar and the fox demon, she read some last night, and she was looking at the wonderful place and was taken away by Xiangqiao, the light in the house was not good at night, and she was afraid that her eyes would not be good.

took the notebook and lay on the soft collapse, with a few pieces of watermelon and grapes next to it, Xu Jiayi took the grapes and stuffed them into her mouth while flipping through the notebook, and felt that she was so happy this day.

Just as she was looking at it, Xu Jiayi suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her lower abdomen, she couldn't help frowning, put the notebook aside, curled up and lay on the soft collapse, her right hand subconsciously covered her lower abdomen, biting her lip and enduring the pain. However, in a short period of time, Xu Jiayi's forehead was already covered with a layer of cold sweat, and her face was terribly pale.

Mama Hua took a bowl of mung bean soup and saw this scene as soon as she entered the door, she was shocked, hurriedly put down the mung bean soup, and hurried over to help Xu Jiayi, "Madam, what's wrong with you?" Is it an upset stomach? ”

As he spoke, he whispered to the maid outside to hurry up and ask for a doctor.

Xu Jiayi bit her lip and reached out to hold Mama Hua's arm, she wanted to say something, but the pain in her lower abdomen made her not even have the strength to speak, so she could only shake her head lightly. Mama Hua knew that this meant that she should not go to the doctor, but looking at Xu Jiayi's appearance, she was a little unsure whether she should listen to the order.

Fortunately, after not waiting for a while, Xu Jiayi felt that the labor pain had passed, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat on her forehead. Catching a glimpse of Mama Hua's worried gaze, she smiled at her, "I'm fine, it should be a small day coming." ”

Her little days are not allowed every month, and sometimes she only comes once every two months. Every time she came back, she could be in pain for several days, and those days hurt so much that she couldn't sleep from time to time. After her grandmother and aunt found out, they specially invited a famous doctor in Yanjing City to diagnose and treat her, and the doctor said that it was because of her cold, so she was more uncomfortable than ordinary people these days. Not only that, but it may even be difficult to get pregnant, but the doctor secretly told the Zhao family about this matter, and Xu Jiayi didn't know about it.

Although the doctor prescribed a lot of medicines, he also made it clear that this medicine was not very useful and could only be relieved. The most important thing is to recuperate slowly, pay attention to the warmth before and after the small day, and do not eat raw, cold and spicy food, which can reduce some pain. So the result can be imagined, I drank a lot of medicine, but it didn't have any effect.

These few days of the month are still painful.

However, drinking some brown sugar, ginger water, red dates, longan, wolfberry soup and the like can alleviate some relief, and it will be better if there is a hand warmer on the lower abdomen to warm up. However, the hand warmer is only used in winter, and now it is still hot in July, so wouldn't it be possible to heat people up with a hand warmer.

After Mama Hua found out, she was relieved in her heart, but fortunately it was not any other emergency illness. However, seeing Xu Jiayi in a cold sweat of pain, she was still anxious, and it happened that Xiangqiao, who heard Mama Hua's anxious voice at this time, also arrived in a hurry, these people all grew up serving Mrs., and they knew better than her.

As soon as Xiangqiao came in and looked at Xu Jiayi's face, she guessed it, and hurriedly instructed Yuan Xiangdao, who walked in behind her, "Yuan Xiang, go and let the kitchen boil the brown sugar water." Cuiyun, go and pour a soup woman. ”

Yuanxiang answered and hurriedly ran out.

Mama Hua and Xiangqiao were on one side, one on the left and one on the right, helping Xu Jiayi to lie on the bed. Xu Jiayi also felt uncomfortable lying down, so she simply asked Xiangqiao to help herself sit up, sit with her back against the head of the bed, and curl her lower abdomen together, feeling better.

There happened to be hot water in the kettle, but the soup woman filled it quickly, and after a while, Cuiyun ran over, took a towel and put it on Xu Jiayi's lower abdomen, and stuffed the soup woman on top of the towel. The towel didn't burn Xu Jiayi's skin, but Cuiyun was still a little uneasy, and advised, "Madam, if you feel hot, take the soup lady away for a while, don't burn you." ”

Xu Jiayi nodded weakly, her forehead was already covered with a layer of sweat again, and she didn't know if it was hot or painful.

After covering it for a while, Xiangqiao took out the soup woman, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently rubbed Xu Jiayi's lower abdomen. The lower abdomen was warm, and it was slightly rubbed by Xiangqiao for a while, but it was better.

Mama Hua wiped the sweat on Xu Jiayi's face on the side, her face full of worry, "There's no way for Mrs. to be in pain like this, otherwise I'd better go find a doctor to take a look." ”

"Mama Hua, it's not that we don't want to find a doctor, it's just that Madame's symptoms may have been a long time, when I was in Yanjing City, the old lady, the eldest lady, and the second lady all found many famous doctors to diagnose and treat, and the old man even invited the imperial doctor in the palace, but it was useless. I can only prescribe some medicine to alleviate one or two. ”

"But although Madame was uncomfortable in the past, it wasn't so serious......," Cuiyun said with a frown, guessing that it might be the reason why Madame hadn't rested well in the recent hot weather.

"Brown sugar ginger water is here!" Yuan Xiang hurriedly ran in from outside with a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger water, and put it on the bedside table first, her hot fingers were red.

Xu Jiayi looked a little distressed, "Cuiyun, there is a cooling paste in that box, apply some to Yuanxiang." ”

"I'm not in the way, madam, drink some first, brown sugar ginger water should be drunk while it is hot." Yuan Xiang shook her head and told Xu Jiayi.

Xu Jiayi glanced at the brown sugar water resting on the bedside table, leaned over and scooped it spoonfuls one by one. After drinking a whole bowl, Xu Jiayi not only had a warm lower abdomen, but also a ruddy face, and her forehead was once again covered with a thin layer of sweat because of the heat, and the clothes on her body were almost soaked, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to her body.

Mama Hua saw it, and hurriedly asked the maids to bring in a basin of hot water interestingly, and waited to scrub Xu Jiayi. Originally, it was best to take a bath to be the most comfortable, but looking at Xu Jiayi's weak appearance, Mama Hua could only retreat and change to scrubbing, and finally waited for Xu Jiayi to change into dry clothes.

Xu Jiayi didn't say a few words, and the whole person wilted, leaning on the head of the bed with a tired expression, and took the notebook in her hand and looked at it.

"Madame, rest well, don't read the script yet." Cuiyun looked at Xu Jiayi's face and couldn't help but say aloud, "Why don't you let the slave read it to Madame?" ”
