Chapter 263: The Beginning of the Cycle (11)
Although it was already night, there were a lot of people around, Lu Xiu was so frightened that he hugged Zhou Jue's neck, and was about to let him let himself down, Zhou Jue whispered: "Put your heart in your stomach, I see who dares to say half a word of gossip." ”
His tone was very deep, and the great commander's anger was undisguised, domineering, and irresistible.
Lu Xiu felt that he was a little angry, and obediently leaned into his arms without moving.
Zhou Jue took her back to the camp tent, put her on the bed, lit the lamp, and asked the soldiers outside to bring hot water.
Half of Lu Xiu's face was swollen, and it was still hot and painful at this time, Mrs. Zhang used all her strength at once, and neither of them paid attention to it before, but when it was quiet, Zhou Jue found that there was a trace of red marks on the corner of her lips, and she was bleeding.
Zhou Jue's eyes instantly became gloomy, very intimidating, but Lu Xiu didn't feel afraid, she knew very well that he would show such a side because he felt sorry for her, not to hurt her.
The soldiers quickly sent hot water, and Zhou Jue twisted the handkerchief and handed it to Lu Xiu, saying, "Let's warm it first." ”
Lu Xiu obediently covered her face with a handkerchief, and Zhou Jue took out the trauma medicine that had been prepared long ago from the burden at the bedside.
The steaming heat relieved the pain on her face, Lu Xiu frowned, Zhou Jue stood in front of her and looked at her, and asked after a while, "What were you doing when Mrs. Zhou broke into the camp?" ”
Lu Xiu said: "I just went back and was talking to my sister and princess, when Mrs. Zhou suddenly rushed in. ”
Zhou Jue thought for a while, there were at least seven or eight steps from the door of the tent to the distance they were staying at that time, and this time was replaced by him, let alone let Mrs. Zhang slap him, he would have kicked people out with one kick.
He knew that Lu Xiu had no kung fu, but he still couldn't help but say, "You can't beat and don't know how to hide?" ”
Lu Xiu also knew that he was a little slow to react, and said abruptly: "The incident happened too suddenly, I didn't react at the time, and it won't be like this next time." ”
Next time?
Where can there be a next time.
Zhou Jue stiffened his face, estimated that the handkerchief was not hot, took it and twisted it again, personally helped Lu Xiu cover it, and said sullenly: "When you do Mrs. Zhou, there won't be so many messy things." ”
Lu Xiu smiled and bent her eyes, and said softly, "Okay." ”
Zhou Jue's expression softened a little, helped Lu Xiu finish the compress, and found an ointment to reduce swelling and relieve pain for her.
His fingertips were rough, all of them were calluses sharpened by martial arts, and there was a slight itch on his face, Lu Xiu's face was hot, but fortunately, there was no obvious difference at this time.
Knowing that Lu Xiu hadn't eaten yet, Zhou Jue asked someone to bring food again.
When eating, Lu Xiu found that the inner wall of the mouth on the left side of his face was broken, and there was a bloody smell when he licked the tip of his tongue.
She didn't dare to eat that way, and only chewed with her right tooth.
Zhou Jue still had something to do, he went out for a trip, and when he came back, Lu Xiu just finished eating, he walked to the table and whispered to Lu Xiu: "Go back and have a good rest, I won't leave trouble, and the people of the Zhang family and the Bai family will not have a chance to trouble you in the future." ”
This sounds like he wants to cut down the roots of the Zhang family and the Bai family, Lu Xiu is worried that the impact of the disturbance will be too great, and just about to say something, Zhou Jue preemptively said: "I am measured, you don't have to worry." After speaking, he raised his hand and rubbed Lu Xiu's head, and Lu Xiu could only swallow all his worries.
Since he said he was measured, she should have believed him.
This time, Zhou Jue personally sent Lu Xiu back to the camp.
The hunt began the next day, Zhang Hao's matter was not publicized too much, and Zhou Jue was only responsible for maintaining order, and did not participate in it anymore.
This Xiao Langjun is only fifteen, and he is a child of the side branch of the Wei family, and after Zhao Che reused the Wei family, he was sent to Hanjing to study in the Tai Academy.
He was not outstanding in riding or archery, but he was quite clever in his mind, and he laid a lot of traps by himself, and not only hunted the most prey, but also a firefox.
Firefox is rare, it is an excellent color, Zhao Che gave him a heavy reward, and then gave Firefox to Zhao Mingxi.
Everyone knows what this autumn hunt is for, and as soon as the fire fox comes out, most of everyone guesses that this champion is only afraid that he will fall into the Wei family.
However, the holy decree has not really come down, and no one knows if there will be any changes in the future.
The autumn hunt ended successfully, and the group returned in a mighty way.
The next day, the news that the queen mother personally gave Lu Xiu and Zhou Jue the marriage spread all over the streets and alleys of Hanjing.
After Zhou Jue had lunch, he asked people to carry the dowry to the courtyard where Lu Xiu lived.
There were a total of twelve boxes of dowry gifts, all of which were packed in nanmu boxes, tied with red and bright silk on the outside, and paraded around the main city road of Hanjing, so that everyone could see how the commander of Zhou Da asked to marry the girl of the Lu family.
The dowry is very sufficient, and the room is full of piles, and it is inconvenient to move.
Lu Qingqing was much happier than Lu Xiu, counted the dowry, and asked Lu Xiu to go back to the Wu family with him, and this small courtyard was specially used for the dowry.
Lu Xiu went to Lu's house to live for a day, and the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to invite Lu Xiu, the little lady of the Xiangfu was about to put out the moon wine, and the Sun family had just come out of confinement, so he didn't have much energy, so he asked Lu Xiu to help.
Lu Xiu asked for some experience from Lu Qingqing and immediately went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Shen Ruxiu had already been experienced as a subordinate in the Shoufu before, and there were not so many people invited by the full moon wine, so things were easier than Lu Qingqing thought.
On the day of the full moon wine, the next person sent a gorgeous dress for Lu Xiu to change into, and Lu Xiu first went to Xiruoyuan to see Sun, and then helped to carry Shen Yingchun to the banquet hall together.
Today, Zhou Jue took a break and came to the banquet with Zhou Deshan.
Shen Yingchun was young, he didn't recognize life at all, he kept grinning, everyone looked very fond of it, and they took out their gadgets for her.
She was wearing a long-lived gold lock and a silver bracelet sent back by Shen Bai from the border gate, which was quite expensive, and the clothes were made by Lu Xiu specially made by the embroidery lady in the store, which was delicate and cute, and she gained a lot of things after a while.
She dozed off a lot, and yawned after turning around, with Lu Xiu there, the Sun family didn't deal with these people, and took Shen Yingchun back to rest.
Lu Xiu stayed for a while, and someone came over to lead her to the Shen family ancestral hall.
Shen Ruxiu was already inside, Lu Xiu stopped at the door, Shen Ruxiu looked at her and said: "Your parents died early, and there are no relatives in the clan, according to Your Majesty's intentions, I want you to enter my Shen family and give me the surname of the Shen family, the reason must be clear to you, if it is according to Your Majesty's wishes, although you can get the shade of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, you will also have to bear a lot of criticism, so you are still willing to come in?" ”
Zhao Che's holy decree has been issued, whether Lu Xiu wants it or not, it is a foregone conclusion, but Shen Ruxiu also made a special trip to ask such a sentence, and Lu Xiu was very moved.
She was upright and blessed, practiced the etiquette of her daughter's family to Shen Ru, and said softly: "Name is just a title, the most important thing is to be open-minded, upright, and not hurt the heavens and reason, Lu Xiu is willing to enter the Shen family, respect the ancestors of the Shen family, abide by the rules of the Shen family, be cautious in words and deeds, and never do anything that insults the lintel of the Shen family." ”
Although Lu Xiu's voice was soft, his tone was very firm, and he could see that he was a calm person who could bear things.
Shen Ruxiu was very pleased, nodded gently, Lu Xiu stepped into the Shen family ancestral hall, and the subordinates immediately sent incense, Lu Xiu respectfully offered incense to the ancestors of the Shen family, and then knelt down and kowtowed.
Shen Ruxiu is not a person who likes red tape, the ancestor recognition ceremony is quite simple, when Lu Xiu kowtowed, Shen Ruxiu introduced Lu Xiu to the ancestors of the Shen family in detail.
He owes Shen Bai a lot, and now he has another daughter, and when he mentions Lu Xiu, his voice is very loving.
Lu Xiu doesn't have much impression of his father, he has had a lot of contact with Shen Ruxiu over the years, and he can feel his father's generosity and sense of security from him.
After kowtowing, Shen Ruxiu pulled Lu Xiu up and said, "Your Majesty has a knot in your heart for the Lu family, don't take this matter too seriously, you are going to marry into the Zhou family soon, just use the name of the Shen family to create a momentum, and live your life with peace of mind in the future." ”
Lu Xiu nodded and said, "What the righteous father said, Xiuxiu must remember in his heart." ”
Shen Ruxiu nodded, a little emotional, although Lu Xiu only officially recognized him as his father-in-law today, he was still very reluctant when he thought that she was about to get married.
There is always a feeling that raising a daughter is working in vain.
After calming down, Shen Ruxiu took Lu Xiu back to the banquet and announced in front of all the guests that he had recognized Lu Xiu as a righteous daughter.
Lu Xiu did not return to Wu's house that day, and Shen Ruxiu directly sent someone to Wu's house to help her clean up her salute.
Although Lu Qingqing is Lu Xiu's sister, it is still a little inappropriate for Lu Xiu to marry in the Wu family, and now that she is the righteous daughter of Shen Ruxiu, she naturally wants to prepare for marriage in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The area of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not large, and Shen Ruxiu asked Lu Xiu to temporarily live in Shen Bai's Shuyun Garden.
On the third day, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs also sent many rewards, as well as a red wedding dress made of fine brocade, with no patterns on it, and according to the custom, Lu Xiu was asked to embroider it himself.
Chun Ling also followed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he was very happy all day long, and Lu Xiu didn't go out, except to talk to Sun, so he stayed in the house to embroider the wedding dress.
In this jubilant situation, Dali Temple found out that the Bai family was rich in Muzhou, bullied the people, and killed several lives, not only that, the Bai family was very greedy, under the banner of Zhang Yingshan, and wanted to intervene in the matter of manual forging.
Although the Bai family did not intend to defect to the enemy and treason just to make profits, this behavior was also a serious crime, Zhang Yingshan said that he didn't know what the Bai family had done, but he would receive a large sum of silver taels from the Bai family every year, which constituted the crime of bribery.
Zhao Che was furious and immediately ordered people to copy the Zhang family and the Bai family.
The Bai family was disregarded for human life and sentenced to beheading in accordance with the law, and the Zhang family was not guilty to death, and was dismissed from his post and exiled to the wilderness.
Zhang Hao is not in good health, I heard that it was gone halfway, Mrs. Zhang lost her son in middle age, she was so angry that she went crazy, and fell into the river to her death while no one was paying attention, Zhang Yingshan was also sick in a fit of anger, and it is estimated that he will not live long.
These news were all relayed to Lu Xiu by Lu Qingqing, Lu Qingqing felt very happy, but Lu Xiu didn't react much, just felt that it was all karma.
The wedding date was set for the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Shen Bai wrote a letter back early because he was too heavy, saying that he could not participate, but he put hundreds of taels of silver tickets in the envelope, so that Lu Xiu could save private money and spend it slowly in the future.
Lu Xiu accepted the silver ticket, wrote back to Shen Bai, and told Shen Bai some precautions based on Sun's experience in confinement.
During this period, the list of ready-to-wear shops increased greatly, and the dresses designed by Lu Xiu not only became popular among the ladies and ladies of the family, but also attracted ordinary people to imitate them.
There were too many lists, which completely exceeded the load of the garment shop, Lu Xiu wrote a letter to Wei Mingchen, and Wei Mingchen quickly replied, willing to accept Lu Xiu's previous proposal to let the garment shop buy cloth from the silk village, so as to judge the popularity of the fabric.
Silk Village will also follow the trend of some clothing styles, but Lu Xiu wants to leave some special styles for Silk Village, and these designs Wei Mingchen is willing to give Lu Xiu another money.
The two sides reached a consensus, and Lu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief.
With Jinglan Silk Village as her backer, she doesn't have to worry too much about the ready-to-wear shop in the future, not only can she have a stable income, but also free up time to do other things.
The days flickered to August 14, and early in the morning, Lu Qingqing pulled Lu Xiu up from the bed and asked an experienced grandmother to help her wring her face and makeup.
It hurt to twist the face, Lu Xiu came to her senses all of a sudden, and obediently asked Mama to help put on makeup, and when she changed clothes, Lu Xiu asked Mama to go out, leaving only Chun Ling and Lu Qingqing in the house.
Lu Qingqing said: "This wedding dress is very complicated and difficult to wear, I have only worn it once before, it must be much faster with Mama here, sister, why do you want to drive Mama out?" ”
Lu Xiu blushed, silently asked Chun Ling to help him take off his clothes, Lu Qingqing soon saw that the Shougong sand in the crook of her arm was gone, her eyes widened in astonishment, and Chun Ling hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, madam, this is what my uncle did." ”
It's my uncle now, who knows who he was before.
Lu Qingqing lowered her voice and said with a little reproach: "My sister is really bold, if the person surnamed Zhou is a bastard who doesn't recognize people when she lifts her pants, what should my sister do?" ”
Lu Xiu naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, smiled gently, and said, "Fortunately, he is not." ”
Lu Qingqing poked her head, and was glad that the two were about to get married now, and Zhou Jue didn't treat Lu Xiu badly, so he stopped talking.
Lu Xiu is getting married for the first time, but Zhou Jue is not, he knows very well the routines that block the door, and he quickly killed Shuyunyuan and arrived in front of Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu had no brother and younger brother, and the queen asked Wei Xiaolangjun, who had won the first place in the autumn hunt, to accompany her to marry.
When everyone was almost in trouble, this little Langjun picked up Lu Xiu and walked outside.
Xiao Langjun has not grown up yet, and his shoulders are not as thick as Zhou Jue's, but he walks very steadily, and Lu Xiu does not feel afraid.
After giving tea to Shen Ruxiu and Sun, Xiao Langjun carried Lu Xiu on his back and got into the sedan chair.
As soon as the suona sounded, the team of greeting relatives walked towards Zhou's house lively.
The sedan chair shook all the way, Lu Xiu was a little dizzy, completely like a puppet controlled by Xi Po, knowing that he was helped by Chun Ling to sit on the marriage bed and finally had a feeling of being down-to-earth.
Now he can't eat, and he can't remove his head, only Chun Ling accompanies Lu Xiu to whisper.
The wedding banquet lasted for a long time, and after sitting for a long time, the phoenix crown pressed the neck and began to ache, Lu Xiu couldn't help frowning and rubbing his shoulders, but one hand fell on his neck first, Lu Xiu was surprised, his eyes widened slightly, the hijab was picked up by the joy of the name, and Zhou Jue, who was wearing a red wedding dress, appeared in front of him.
It was still very bright outside, Lu Xiu lowered her voice and asked, "Don't you have to entertain guests outside?" "Ranwen
Isn't this a broken rule?
Lu Xiu was brainwashed by Mama's remarks early in the morning, and blinked her eyes and looked well-behaved.
Her makeup today is very delicate and beautiful, Zhou Jue's Adam's apple moved slightly, and she looked away and said, "I'm just here to see, I heard that you haven't eaten in the morning, so let the maid wait for you to eat some to cushion your stomach first." ”
"This ......"
Lu Xiu wanted to refute, but Zhou Jue interrupted her and said, "We have already visited the hall and married, and now you are Mrs. Zhou, you have the final say up and down the house, and there are not so many messy rules." ”
"Oh." Lu Xiu nodded, no longer refutated, Zhou Jue raised his hand to stroke her cheek, didn't want to spend her makeup, and said gently: "The Praetorian Guards have also come a lot, they will definitely pour me wine, don't wait for me at night, how comfortable and how to come, I have already said hello, no one will come to disturb." ”
"Okay."
Lu Xiu responded obediently and urged Zhou Jue to leave.
After a while, Chun Ling came back with the food and said happily: "Uncle really loves Madame, and he is also generous, so he directly rewarded me with a handful of gold leaves." ”
With Zhou Jue's words, Lu Xiu relaxed, and said while rubbing his neck: "You are not too young, just save it for you, and when you get married in the future, you will need more money." ”
"I don't want to marry, how good it is to serve my wife for the rest of my life."
Chun Ling said with a smile, walked over to help Lu Xiu knead her shoulders and neck, and then helped her take off the phoenix crown and put it away.
Lu Xiu was so hungry that she ate several pastries in one go, and she was really bored in the room, and she fell asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up again, it was already dark, the candles in the house were flickering, Chun Ling was not there, Zhou Jue didn't know when she would come back, so she took a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her directly.
Lu Xiu was startled, immediately sat up with his body, and asked with a blushing face, "What time is it?" Why don't you wake me up when you come back? ”
Zhou Jue has the smell of alcohol on his body, he should have drunk a lot, but his eyes are still relatively sober, Zhou Jue said: "I just came back, I saw that you slept soundly, so I didn't call you, and you look good like this, I want to see more." ”
What's there to see about sleeping?
Lu Xiu put on her shoes and wanted to get out of bed, Zhou Jue asked, "What do you want to do, I'll help you." ”
Lu Xiu put on his shoes, walked up to him and sniffed, saw that there was nothing on the table, and said: "You have drunk a lot of wine, you will definitely have a headache tomorrow, I asked Chun Ling to go to the kitchen to get the decanting soup, and let people simmer on the stove before." ”
Lu Xiu said that she was going to call Chun Ling outside the door, but Zhou Jue hugged her from behind, buried her head in her neck and said, "I haven't drunk Hehuan wine yet." ”
I almost forgot about it after a good night's sleep.
She was annoyed, came back with a red face and poured the wine, sat in front of Zhou Jue in a proper manner, touched the glass with him, and then asked, "Should I say something?" ”
Zhou Jue looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Do you have anything to say?" ”
Lu Xiu wanted to say a lot, but considering that he was drunk and had been busy during the day, he said softly: "I am very happy to be your wife, and I will do my best to be Mrs. Zhou in the future and not let you worry." ”
Lu Xiu is not good at dealing with this kind of thing, so he quickly raised his head and drank the wine after speaking.
This is not the fruit wine she drinks on weekdays, the wine is a little strong, and it burns her throat hot, Lu Xiu frowned, and it took a while to ease up.
Zhou Jue hadn't drunk it yet, and said solemnly with a wine glass: "I'm also very happy to be able to marry you, and I won't necessarily spend a lot of time with you in the future, but I guarantee that no one in your Zhou family dares to let you be wronged, and when you go out of the Zhou family, others will respectfully call you Mrs. Zhou when they see you, you don't have to be afraid of anyone." ”
Zhou Jue also drank wine after speaking, these words made Lu Xiu very moved, she nodded, and wanted to get up to find Chun Ling to get the sobering soup, Zhou Jue directly picked her up and took her to the bedside.
The two became relatives, and today is the night of candles in the cave room, so it is naturally normal to do that kind of thing.
However, Lu Xiu still had a shadow in his heart, and grabbed Zhou Jue's collar to remind: "I haven't drunk the sobering soup yet." ”
Zhou Jue put her on the bed, her tall body pressed down, and said with a smile: "I drank less, I wasn't drunk." After speaking, he fell into a dense kiss.
It has been more than half a year since the last time they were in the inn, although the two also had skin to skin relations later, but only on the surface, Lu Xiu was at a loss as last time, but Zhou Jue was already familiar with the road.
"Wait...... Wait a minute. ”
Lu Xiu wanted to hold Zhou Jue, but was suppressed by Zhou Jue and couldn't move, looking at the fire in her eyes, she said in a dumb voice: "I can't wait." ”
He had been looking forward to this day since he came back from Yuanfeng County, and he had been waiting too long.
After Zhou Jue finished speaking, he buried his head in Lu Xiu's neck, Lu Xiu could completely feel his eagerness and enthusiasm, and knew that there was no reason to refuse him tonight, so he softened his tone.
Her eyes were moist, with a little bit of the weakness and innocence of a small animal, Zhou Jue felt that a string in her brain was broken, and nodded in response: "I am measured." ”
After speaking, he didn't give Lu Xiu a chance to speak.
The red candle burned out that night, and the sound in the house did not stop.
Chun Ling was broken away by Mama and went to rest early, the Mama on duty at night was blushing and heartbeating when she heard it outside, and the Secret Dao Commander didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how could he toss it so much?
The next day, he had to enter the palace to thank him, and Lu Xiu was fished out of the bed by Zhou Jue almost without sleeping.
She was so sleepy, her whole body was sore, she looked at Zhou Jue's eyes very sadly, and couldn't help but scold: "Liar!" ”
Zhou Jue and Lu Xiu are completely different, refreshed, and at this time they also know that they are at a loss, and they are good-natured and forgive: "I was wrong last night, when I come back from the palace, I will apologize to the lady, your voice is hoarse, let's drink some white fungus soup first." ”
Lu Xiu was awkward, secretly pinched Zhou Jue several times, and when she went out after breakfast, she insisted on a few steps and Lu Xiu couldn't do it, Zhou Jue couldn't help but say that he picked her up in the carriage and got into the carriage Lu Xiu whispered: "It's all your fault, what should I do after entering the palace?" ”
You can't take her to the queen's bedroom.
Zhou Jue didn't feel anything at all, and said: "It's inconvenient for you to walk now, we are husband and wife, it's normal for me to hold you, and the queen won't bother with us if you want to come." ”
"I don't want it."
Lu Xiu refused, but he walked a few steps into the palace and was still hugged by Zhou Jue.
The queen mother did not embarrass them, spoke softly for a while, and let them go home after lunch together.
Zhao Che granted Zhou Jue ten days of leave, and Zhou Jue didn't do anything else in the past ten days.
Lu Xiu's voice has been hoarse, and he hasn't slept well, and when Zhou Jue goes back to the palace on an errand, Lu Xiu finally has a chance to breathe.
However, two days after Zhou Jue went back, the holy decree was sent to the Zhou family and asked him to go to Muzhou to be a school captain, because of the Bai family's affairs, the Muzhou state capital was also dismissed, Wu Shouxin and Lu Qingqing also received the holy decree to go to Muzhou to be the state capital.
I don't know when I will come back, since the holy decree came down, Chun Ling sighed every day, sighing that his wife was going to stay alone in the empty room as soon as he got married, but he didn't know how happy Lu Xiu was in his heart.
However, Lu Xiu didn't show it, and specially helped Zhou Jue make new clothes for the four seasons, and also collected a lot of wound medicine and packed them together.
Five days later, Zhou Jue and Wu Shouxin set off for Muzhou together, and Lu Xiu sent them to the gate of the city, until they completely disappeared on the official road, Lu Xiu felt a little reluctant in hindsight, Chun Ling was more melancholy than her, and sighed heavily.
Lu Xiu's emotions were blown away by her, she raised her hand to rub her head, and said with a smile: "Don't sigh, my husband and brother-in-law are here to make contributions, and they are not demoted." ”
Chun Ling asked seriously: "I don't know when my uncle will come back, won't Mrs. miss my uncle?" ”
Lu Xiu smiled but said nothing.
Why don't you want to, even if she is a little afraid of him, but as soon as he leaves, she can't help but start thinking about him.
But what can she do, she can't stop him from leaving, and second, she can't roll around and go to Muzhou with him, and she said at the beginning that she would be a good Mrs. Zhou so as not to let him worry, and she couldn't break her word.
Lu Xiu cheered up and began to adapt to being Mrs. Zhou.
The Zhou family actually doesn't have much to do on weekdays, Zhou Deshan likes to practice at home for a while, read the military book, but he has always had old diseases on his body, and it will be very uncomfortable in the autumn rainy season and after winter, so he should pay special attention to keeping warm and dehumidifying, Lu Xiu thought of a lot of ways to help him alleviate his pain.
Gu Tingge and Zhou Deshan's bodies are about the same, and Lu Xiu usually prepares two pairs of medicines and sends one to Gu Tingge.
Gu Shaoyin and Shen Yingchun are not very old, and if they have any colds and flu on weekdays, Lu Xiu has to run at both ends to take a look.
After two months like this, Lu Xiu had symptoms of loss of appetite and nausea, she didn't take it seriously at first, and went to the ready-to-wear shop to be reminded that something was wrong.
It happened to be a few days before Zhou Jue left.
The day after the Ximai diagnosis, Zhou Jue's letter was also delivered.
He arrived in Muzhou half a month ago, and there were many and complicated things in the school captain's camp, so he began to put things in order before he had time to write letters.
Zhou Jue wrote a lot of letters, and he wrote three full pages freely, he couldn't say too much about the military camp, and after briefly mentioning it, he was excited to introduce the customs and customs of Muzhou to Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu read the letter three times carefully, and then picked up the pen to reply to Zhou Jue.
She first explained the situation at home, told him not to worry, and then said some new things that happened in Beijing, and only finally told the news of her pregnancy.
From the diagnosis of Ximai, her heart was full of emotion.
This is the baby left by Zhou Jue, she originally thought that she would have to endure this lonely and unbearable day alone, but she didn't expect that there would be more fresh life in her belly, and this child would accompany her instead of Zhou Jue, so that she would not be so lonely and uncomfortable.
After writing several pages, Lu Xiu carefully sealed the envelope and sent it out.
The news of her pregnancy spread quickly, and Zhou Deshan specially invited an experienced mother-in-law to take care of her, and the Guogong Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion also sent various supplements.
Shen Bai was well-informed, and wrote a letter back, which carefully advised the precautions for pregnancy and confinement, which was quite practical, and at the end of the letter, he re-mentioned the matter of the baby's parent.
She got a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and she was particularly concerned about the matter of the baby's relatives, Lu Xiu replied to her with a smile.
The Zhou family took good care of Lu Xiu, but Zhou Jue was not around, Lu Xiu occasionally felt lonely and lonely, and even sometimes felt so sad that she wanted to cry, but she was tough and could adjust quickly.
Chinese New Year's Eve Zhou Jue did not come back, Lu Xiu sent a post to the Guogong Mansion, on Chinese New Year's Eve and Zhou Deshan went to the Guogong Mansion to eat, Gu Tingge was strange and lonely at home alone, and the two could talk when they ate together.
Gu Shaoyin saw her holding her stomach and looked around her curiously, Lu Xiu sent him New Year's money, and patiently answered all kinds of strange questions he asked.
After the beginning of spring, the days flew by, afraid that she would think too much, Lu Xiu forced herself to draw a lot of new drawings, and time flew by after getting busy, after the summer solstice, her stomach became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't even sleep well, so she could only stop working.
After knowing that she was pregnant, Zhou Jue's letter never stopped, and there was nothing new in the back, mainly telling her to rest well, not to be tired, and to come back with things that would be used by many children.
When Lu Xiu replied later, she couldn't restrain her emotions, she wanted to complain and cry, so she simply didn't reply for the time being, for fear that if she didn't control it for a while, she would write something bad and affect the relationship between husband and wife.
In the days before giving birth, the people in the house couldn't sleep well, Lu Xiu was also nervous, and he always dreamed that Zhou Jue came back at night, and when he woke up and found that there was no one around him, he couldn't help crying.
On the day of delivery, it happened to be a big summer, and the weather was as hot as a steamer, and I couldn't stop sweating while sitting in the house.
Afraid of getting cold, he didn't dare to use ice cubes in the house to cool down, and Chun Ling and the two maids took turns to fan Lu Xiu with the wind.
In the evening, labor pains began, and Wen Po came soon, and Zhou Deshan immediately invited the imperial doctor to come to the house to wait.
Zhou Deshan couldn't enter the house, so he guarded the door with the imperial doctor.
The process of giving birth lasted for three full hours, and when the baby's cry sounded, Lu Xiudu was surprised that he was not dead, but still alive.
Wen Po wiped the child clean and wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and said happily: "Congratulations to Madame, she is a daughter, very beautiful." ”
Lu Xiu glanced at it, the child was pink but wrinkled, and he couldn't tell whether it looked good or not.
She smiled reluctantly, and Wen Po took the child out to report the good news to Zhou Deshan.
Lu Xiu recuperated for three days before he barely recovered his spirits, and then wrote a letter to Zhou Jue, carefully considered the words for a long time, and finally only said that he had given birth to a daughter, and the mother and daughter were safe, so he should not worry.
After holding back less than a page of stationery for a long time, Lu Xiu was stunned with a pen, and finally crumpled the letter into a ball and invalidated.
Chun Ling came in and saw the paper ball on the ground, and asked strangely, "Doesn't Miss want to write a letter to my uncle?" ”
