Chapter 90: Obsession (5K)
"The eldest prince's things have been moved over, you guys pack them up." Zhou Xianbai threw the burden to the subordinates who were waiting in Zhou Huaixuan's outer courtyard study, and deliberately shouted loudly in the courtyard: "In the future, the eldest prince may have to live here for a while, the big guy will give me a good spirit, don't let people take advantage of the loopholes!" β
The subordinates in Zhou Huaixuan's outer study responded and took his things to the inner room of the study to settle down.
In the evening, Zhou Huaixuan didn't come over, and the people in the outer study were not surprised.
They have long known that the eldest prince is not the kind of person who has to report to others wherever he goes.
This night, Zhou Huaixuan didn't dare to fall asleep, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.
He should be happy and excited, but when he thinks of the child, he feels so far away.
His attention to this child is completely based on Sheng Siyan's sake. - If it weren't for his mother being Sheng Siyan, Zhou Huaixuan wouldn't have paid attention to it.
Zhou Huaixuan turned his head sideways, looked at Sheng Siyan's quiet sleeping face beside him, and smiled slightly.
In his eyes, Sheng Siyan himself is still a child, but he is already about to give birth......
He stretched out his hand, tucked the corner of the quilt for Sheng Siyan, turned his head to look at the top of the tent, and stared silently.
At dawn, Sheng Siyan sat up suddenly, crawled over Zhou Huaixuan with all hands and feet, and threw himself on the side of the bed.
Zhou Huaixuan opened his eyes and grabbed her, "...... What's the matter-one-book-read-small-say-? β
"Vomit ......" Sheng Siyan muttered in his throat, leaned out of the bed, and opened his mouth to spit out.
Zhou Huaixuan was busy supporting her waist, stroking back and forth on her back, and shouted outside: "Bring the copper bowl!" β
Barley, who was waiting in the outhouse, hurriedly brought the copper bowl in. Give Sheng Siyan a follow.
Sheng Siyan vomited half on the footrest of the bed. The other half was spit into the copper bowl.
The sour smell of vomit permeated the closed bedroom.
Barley came over to support Sheng Siyan. Zhou Huaixuan got up and came to the window, pushed open half of the window, and let in some of the cold air of the morning.
Sheng Siyan felt much better at this time, and said hoarsely: "...... Give me water. β
Zhou Huaixuan walked to the tea niche in the corner and looked at it, pursed his lips, turned his head to the outside and commanded, "Water." β
Hibiscus walked in with a tray with a glass of water on it, according to Wang's instructions. Put a little salt in it.
Sheng Siyan drank light salt water, closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the bed board and panted slightly.
Zhou Huaixuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, and saw Sheng Si's face was pale, his lips were chapped, and the whole person was a lot haggard.
"Grandma, do you want to go to the bathroom to wash?" Barley was busy blocking Sheng Siyan with his body, not wanting Zhou Huaixuan to see Sheng Siyan's haggard appearance.
Sheng Siyan wanted to get up, but the first morning vomit just now was menacing, she was not prepared at all, and the whole person had no strength.
Although the back is covered with sweat. There was sweat on her head, too, but she just couldn't move.
"Slave and maid help the young grandmother in." Barley saw that Sheng Siyan had no strength. Busy proposed.
Zhou Huaixuan walked over, "I'll come." β
Mu Hibiscus and Barley hurriedly got out of the way, watched Zhou Huaixuan hold Sheng Siyan up from the bed, hugged him in the crook of his arm, and walked to the bath.
Barley went out and ordered someone to cook hot water and come in.
Hibiscus went to arrange for the next person to set up breakfast.
In the bath room, Zhou Huaixuan sat on a bamboo chair, lay Sheng Siyan on his lap, controlled his head, took a towel from the wooden bucket with one hand, and wiped it for her.
Sheng Siyan kept his eyes closed, and didn't get up by himself until he was about to rinse his mouth.
When she came out of the bath room, she had been wilting, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.
It wasn't until she took a nap at noon that she felt that she was alive again.
Wang received a report from Zhou Huaixuan and hurried over.
"You kid, you have such a bad morning sickness, and you won't let people call me over." Wang said angrily, "What are you doing by yourself?" β
Sheng Siyan didn't expect her pregnancy reaction to be so serious.
I just felt tired and drowsy before, but now I started to have morning sickness, and I realized that the previous tiredness and drowsiness were nothing at all.
"Mother, I have prepared medicine for myself, drink a little before I get up every morning, it should be able to stop vomiting." Sheng Siyan said with a smile, "Today is the first time, unexpectedly, and it will be fine in the future." β
Wang was not at ease, but still carefully checked her pulse and confirmed that she was indeed fine, before leaving.
After the Wang family left, Sheng Siyan said angrily to Zhou Huaixuan: "It's like this for the first three months of pregnancy, don't make a fuss about it, it will frighten my mother." β
Zhou Huaixuan raised his eyebrows, sat down opposite her with his robe noncommittal, and reached out to probe her forehead. Fortunately, there was no fever.
β¦β¦
In the evening, the two of them went to Songtao Garden for dinner.
"Here, sit down." Old Man Zhou said with a smile.
Feng asked Sheng Siyan: "My mother-in-law is here today, but you are not feeling well?" β
Sheng Siyan smiled: "Fortunately, I vomited in the morning, Huaixuan was worried that something was wrong, so he went to my mother's house and invited my mother." β
The people at the table could hear Zhou Huaixuan's concern for Sheng Siyan.
"You're starting to throw up?" Feng Shi smiled and said, "When I was pregnant with Xuan'er, he was a rare good boy, and he didn't let me vomit at all!" β
"I didn't let you vomit, I was born sick." Old Madam Zhou pursed her lips, "However, it's not good to vomit too much." Mrs. Zhou looked at Sheng Siyan and said with a smile: "When I was pregnant with the eldest child, it was because I vomited too much that I had a difficult birth, and I almost ......died."
Zhou Chengzong coughed embarrassedly, and gave Mrs. Zhou a bowl of soup in a sneering manner, "Mother, you drink soup." β
"Put it here." Old Madam Zhou pouted at the table in front of her.
Zhou Chengzong put down the soup bowl, walked back to his position, and said to Zhou Huaixuan: "Since your daughter-in-law vomited so badly, will you still go to the banquet in the Jiang Hou Mansion in a few days?" β
Zhou Huaixuan shook his head, "Don't go." β
Sheng Siyan said with a smile: "If you vomit at someone else's house, it will be too beautiful." β
Zhou Chengzong nodded, "That's fine." You just stay at home. β
The dinner passed without wind and waves, in stark contrast to the tension of last night.
When Sheng Siyan and Zhou Huaixuan returned to Qingyuan Hall after dinner. On the way, he sighed: "How good it would be to be so harmonious all the time......"
Zhou Huaixuan did not speak. Take her hand. Walk slowly forward.
They walked very slowly, and when they returned to Qingyuan Hall, it was already time to rest.
Although Zhou Huaixuan sent some of his things to the outer study in the outer courtyard, he didn't go to live once.
β¦β¦
Soon it was the day of the banquet in the Marquis of Jiang's mansion.
As soon as the sky was bright, Sheng Siyan snorted again.
Zhou Huaixuan sat up from the bed like an arrow, picked up Sheng Siyan with one hand, and scooped up a small copper bowl from the side of the bed with the other, and brought it to Sheng Siyan. The action is very familiar and flowing, and it seems to have been done many times.
Sheng Siyan closed his eyes, and spit out a quarter of an hour of effort at the bronze bowl.
After spitting, Zhou Huaixuan put the lid on the copper bowl, put it on the head of the bed, picked up the small wooden box on the small table next to the bed, and handed it to Sheng Siyan.
Sheng Siyan still closed her eyes, took out a green plum specially made for her by the Wang family from the wooden box, put it in her mouth, lay down and continued to sleep.
Zhou Huaixuan got up and took the copper bowl to the outer room. The maid took over and poured over, and he went back to the bathroom to wash. Then go to the school field in the outer courtyard to practice arching horses.
When he came back from the outer courtyard from a sweat, Sheng Siyan got up.
In the past seven or eight days, Zhou Huaixuan has become accustomed to helping Sheng Siyan take the copper bowl in the morning, so that she can vomit happily.
Wang and Sheng Siyan both thought of a lot of ways, but they couldn't stop her morning sickness.
Sheng Siyan won't bother later, just spit anyway. It's still very comfortable after throwing up.
"Coming back?" Sheng Siyan sat on the bed and looked at him and smiled.
It may be that the morning sickness is too bad, Sheng Siyan's bulging little face has lost weight, and the whole person looks a lot smarter, but it is even weaker and more delicate, and I am really worried that a gust of wind will blow her away.
Zhou Huaixuan sat on the edge of the bed and touched her hand, "This robe is too thin." Sheng Siyan's little hands were a little cold.
"My heart is dry, like a fire in the nest." Sheng Siyan smiled, "It's okay, it's better to have cold hands." β
Zhou Huaixuan shook her hand, didn't say anything more, got up and went out.
Sheng Siyan got up slowly and listened to Xiao Liu'er chattering about things outside.
"Grandma Da Shao, today is the big banquet of Jiang Hou's Mansion, let's go to the mansion, let's not go."
"You want to go?" Sheng Siyan looked at her with a smile, "I'll let the eldest grandmother take you to see the world?" β
"Grandma!" Xiao Liu'er stomped her feet, "What did you say!" The slave and maid will not go! β
Sheng Siyan was amused by her and giggled before going into the bathroom to wash.
β¦β¦
The banquet of the Marquis of Jiang's Mansion is indeed one of the liveliness of the capital in recent years, and it is only a little worse than when the eldest prince of the Divine General's Mansion married his wife.
Several of the Jiang family's descendants have moved from Jiangnan to the capital, and the newly enthroned emperor Xia Zhao was born by Jiang Guifei, and the Jiang family was in the limelight in the capital for a while.
They are not as good as the previous Wen family and the Zhao family.
The Jiang family is a real family in the south of the Yangtze River, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is not comparable to the Wen family and the Zhao family, who have only been prosperous for one or two generations.
Zhou Huaili followed his family to Jiang Hou's Mansion and was led to the back garden to see Wang Yixing, "Yixing, why are you drinking here alone?" β
Wang Yixing smiled and said, "I'm obviously drinking tea, how can you say I'm drinking?" β
"Tea?" Zhou Huaili looked at it and said with a smile: "Your teapot really looks like a wine jug." β
"Hehe, yes, like a flask, but it's not a flask." Wang Yixing beckoned Zhou Huaili to sit across from him, "Sit down." He picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
"This is Biluochun?" Zhou Huaili saw that the small tea leaves in the tea were like flower buds blooming, its taste was fragrant and refreshing, and the entrance was vigorous, which was the best new tea.
"Maybe." Wang Yixing said disapprehantly, "I only care about whether it tastes good or not, no matter what kind of tea it is." β
Zhou Huaili laughed twice, drank a cup of tea with him, and said softly: "What does the Holy Lord think of Princess Zhao?" You can't always be in the palace, right? β
Princess Zhao is Wang Yixing's sister.
Wang Yixing rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" β
"I'm not in a hurry, but ......," Zhou Huaili paused, "There is no reason for this." β
"Reason?" Wang Yixing sneered, "How can there be so much reason in this world? In this world, according to me. Only right. With the right. There is reason. There is no right. No one cares about it. β
"You can't say that. Justice is at ease in people's hearts. No matter how powerful you are, if you don't act reasonably, people will not be convinced. - If you are not convinced, you will make trouble. You don't understand this truth, do you? Zhou Huaili twisted a piece of chrysanthemum shortbread and ate it, squinting his eyes and tasting it carefully, "This dim sum with this Biluochun is really amazing." β
Wang Yixing did not look up. took a sip of tea, and asked as if unintentionally, "Your Divine General's Mansion has been in trouble again recently?" β
Zhou Huaili smiled, he waited for Wang Yixing to ask him! - Look at how long you can hold on!
"Awkward? What's awkward? We're fine, no one is making trouble. Zhou Huaili said deliberately, blinking.
"Load, keep loading." Wang Yixing sneered, "The third girl in your big house heard that she was sent to the family temple. For no reason, how could an unmarried girl be sent to the family temple? β
"Huh? You actually care about my third cousin! Zhou Huaili looked very surprised. What a rarity! It's a rarity! β
Wang Yixing raised his head and glanced at him quietly. Didn't speak.
Zhou Huaili grinned, patted Wang Yixing's shoulder, and said, "Okay, I won't sell it." This is a long story, but it can also be said simply, that is, my sister-in-law in the lobby is pregnant, and these three cousins accidentally bumped into someone else's muzzle, which annoyed our eldest son, and was sent to the family temple for reflection. After a pause, he said, "I can't come back until my sister-in-law gives birth to her." β
Wang Yixing's eyes gradually became dark and deep, and the expression on his face was like a mask, as if there was no change, but many things behind him were different.
Zhou Huaili carefully looked at Wang Yixing's face and did not let go of the slightest change in his expression.
But even from such a close distance, he couldn't see any significant changes in Wang Yixing's face.
"Okay, Yixing, you really went out." Zhou Huaili smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "There is no grass in the world, why be obsessed with one person?" Right? He also squeezed his eyes at Wang Yixing.
The corners of Wang Yixing's lips gradually turned up, his eyes were far away, and he smiled: "Yes, why be persistent? ββMiss Jiang Si is going to get married today, what congratulatory gift do you plan to give? β
"What?!" Zhou Huaili suddenly changed color, and grabbed the placket on Wang Yixing's chest, "When?!" How do you know?! β
"You don't care." Wang Yixing grabbed Zhou Huaili's fist and pushed him away.
Zhou Huaili stood up, left the small pavilion in the back garden without looking back, and walked towards the place where the guests were feasted.
Bypassing the winding forest path, Zhou Huaili suddenly saw a haunted back squatting under a huge secluded bamboo, and there seemed to be a sound of sobbing softly.
He walked over in a ghostly manner.
Two mothers-in-law immediately flashed out of the bamboo forest, blocking his way with a smile, "Thursday Childe, please over there." "Don't let him pass.
The woman squatting under the bamboo fence turned around, it was Jiang Siniang.
She glanced at Zhou Huaili in a daze, nodded to him, and then turned back to cry at a small dirt bag in front of her.
Zhou Huaili was stopped by the two mothers-in-law and couldn't go over, so he had to say loudly: "Fourth Miss Jiang, what's the matter?" β
With such a call, Jiang Siniang was embarrassed to ignore him, hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, turned around and waved her hand.
The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, silently lowered their heads and pushed away, and returned to the depths of the bamboo forest.
Zhou Huaili took a step forward and asked, "What's wrong?" Why is a person crying here? After thinking about it again and again, he still asked anxiously: "Is it because you are going to get married?" β
Jiang Siniang's cheeks were crimson, and the red eyes were reflected together, adding to the beauty.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhou Huaili, and said, "What kind of marriage?" Don't talk like that on Thursday. After a pause, he added, "It's my little hedgehog ash, it's ...... It's dead......" he said, sobbing in a low voice, looking back at the small earthen bag under the bamboo fence in a daze.
Zhou Huaili suddenly understood that he had been tricked by Wang Yixing, but his heart suddenly relaxed, and the depression and irritability just now disappeared without a trace.
"Your little hedgehog is dead?" Zhou Huaili sighed, "Don't be sad, I'll catch one for you again." β
Jiang Siniang shook her head, "Forget it." I have raised so many hedgehogs, but I have to watch them leave me again and again, I can't stand it anymore. Don't raise it anymore. β
Zhou Huaili's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Do you remember that I told you before that my sister-in-law in the lobby has a hedgehog named Ah Cai?" β
"yes. She told me that Ah Cai was sick and sent to another place to recuperate. Jiang Siniang was listless.
"I'll tell you, Ah Cai has recovered from his illness and has been brought back." Zhou Huaili said with a smile.
"Really?" Jiang Siniang's eyes lit up, "If you have a chance, you must go to your mansion to see and learn!" β
"Okay, when are you going to go? I'll give you a message. Zhou Huaili stared at Jiang Siniang's face carefully, and found that she actually had a pair of phoenix eyes, which he hadn't paid attention to before.
"Today, our family has a big banquet guests, is your sister-in-law here in the lobby? Why don't I go talk to her now? Jiang Siniang straightened her hair.
Zhou Huaili said regretfully: "My sister-in-law in the lobby has not been feeling well recently, so she didn't come today, so she only asked the housekeeper to give a gift." β
"Oh." Jiang Siniang was very concerned, "Sick? Is it serious? What is the disease? My family knows some very famous Langzhong ......"
Zhou Huaili, "Have you forgotten where my sister-in-law came from?" β
Jiang Siniang came back to her senses and said embarrassedly: "It's me Meng Lang." Sheng Da's young grandmother was born in the Shengguo Mansion, how could she lack good doctors? β
The two of them talked, and walked together in the direction of the banquet.
β¦β¦
Wang Yixing quietly left the small tea pavilion in the back garden of Jiang Hou's Mansion and left Jiang Hou's Mansion through the back door.
He walked aimlessly on the street, and found that before he knew it, he had actually come to a place not far from the Divine General's Mansion.
He stood motionless around the corner, watching the door of the Divine General's Mansion come out of his mind.
β¦β¦
In the Divine General's Mansion, a few secret guard cats stared nonchalantly at the movement around them on the rooftop.
"So what is Wang Zhuangyuan going to do? I've been standing here for a day......" (To be continued......)
