Chapter 198: Giving birth to a boy and a girl
At the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Uncle Liu's thick branches grow around the inland river, and the hanging leaves flutter with the breeze, and from time to time they tap on the calm water, cutting a circle of small ripples.
At sunset, the late birds fold their wings and return to their habitats, and the smell of cooking smoke and food fills the air after a busy day. The housewives were busy cooking, the men were gathering in groups to drink a little wine and discuss the day's anecdotes and pleasures, and children with soft and yellowish hair were running around in the streets, holding swords and shields made of wood in their hands, and playing a game of battle between the two armies in groups.
As it gets late, street stalls have set up stalls to welcome the arrival of the night market, selling noodle wontons, fried sweet potato fish balls and radish cakes, among which the stalls selling cold drinks are the most popular, and a cup of cold mint ice after dinner will definitely eliminate the fatigue and heat of the day.
Just when everyone was waiting for the night to come, there was a sudden heart-rending howl from the post house on the right side of the capital.
Some passers-by curiously stretched their necks to look inside, but they didn't see anything, but let the fierce-looking Xiyuan soldiers push them out fiercely, if it hadn't flashed fast, the ghost head knife would have almost slashed through the arm.
"You rice buckets, rice buckets!" Hu Yanxu jumped around the room, grabbing his neck and chest as if he was crazy, as if he couldn't tear off a layer of skin on his body, "It's itching me, it's itching me!" Get out, get out of here! Hurry up and get my doctor...... Yes! β
As he spoke, his hand reached out uncontrollably to his face and grabbed it, and the half-length nails instantly left dozens of deep red marks on that still handsome face.
The servants in the house were all stunned, and it was a long time before the coolly dressed maid screamed and ran out, and two strong guards rushed in from outside the door, and after being stunned for a while, they hurriedly stepped forward, trying to persuade him, "Great prince! β
"Get out of here!" Itching like bone marrow as if being gnawed by thousands of ants at the same time, Hu Yanxu shook his hand vigorously, swept all the plates, dishes and chopsticks on the table to the ground with a hideous face, and then grabbed the tablecloth and smashed it towards the two entourages who were about to come, and finally even the heavy solid wood table was pushed down, "Doctor!" I want a doctor, get me a doctor! β
Immediately, several servants who came back to their senses rushed out of the door and scattered to find a doctor.
When Hu Yansuxin, who was out, got the news and hurried back, he saw that Hu Yanxu, who had always had a habit of cleanliness, actually curled up his body, rolling wildly on the messy ground like a dying stray dog, covered in bloodβall scratched out by himself with his fingernails.
The handmaidens who followed her were all frightened by this bloody scene, and they all bit their lips with white faces and did not dare to scream.
Huyan Suxin didn't seem to feel terrible, and after a moment of distraction, he hurriedly shouted to the entourage who were standing aside and didn't know where to start, "Quickly tie him up!" β
Everyone looked at each other, and for a while, no one dared to respond to this matter.
Hu Yan Suxin slapped the table hard and said angrily, "Are they all deaf?" Let you tie up the eldest brother and do it, and the palace will bear whatever it is! β
"Yes." The two stunned attendants finally came back to their senses, quickly exchanged a look, gave each other some courage, and finally found a coil of rope and walked over together, "Offended, eldest prince." β
As soon as the words fell, the two of them quickly hugged their heads and feet, and their subordinates quickly twisted the rope, and reluctantly tied the frantically struggling Hu Yanxu into a big dumpling and lifted him to the bed.
I don't know who took advantage of the chaos to stuff a rag strip into his mouth, where does Hu Yanxu still have the appearance of a prince now, his hair is scattered, his clothes are dirty, his body exudes a terrible strange smell, and his red eyes are no different from a beggar on the street.
A almost inaudible smile flashed at the corner of Hu Yansu's mouth, and then he changed to an anxious look, and ordered someone to clean up the room, while he sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at Hu Yanxu, who was still hitting the back of his head in the face.
"What the hell is going on?"
The relatives who had been following Hu Yanxu looked left and right, and saw that everyone else was hanging their heads and didn't mean to speak, so they stepped forward and said everything they knew, "Back to the third princess, the eldest prince has been saying that his body is a little itchy since this morning, and he still changes his clothes after taking a bath." The little one suspected that this post station was not clean, so he went to buy some anti-insect medicine, who would have thought that before he could use it, the eldest prince suddenly ...... "I secretly glanced at Hu Yanxu, who was gagged and still hysterically trying to howl, shrunk his neck, and didn't say any more.
Hu Yansu frowned, and was about to speak, when there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and an out of breath voice shouted at the door, "Doctor...... Doctor, here we are! β
As soon as the words fell, several old doctors with medicine boxes on their backs and all over half a hundred years old were rudely pushed through the door with sweating profusely.
Hu Yansu's thin eyebrows were raised, and the expression on his face was not happy at all.
And when the two attendants who came in later saw Hu Yan Suxin, both of them looked surprised, "Gong...... Princess?! β
Hu Yansu glanced at the two of them, did not respond, but instructed the old doctors with slightly frightened expressions, "Hurry up and treat my eldest brother." If you cure it, you will be rewarded, if you can't cure it, don't blame this princess for turning her face and being ruthless! β
When the old doctors heard this, their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to move with trembling, and some of them had angry faces and wanted to leave directly, which also frightened the weapons displayed by the guards around the periphery, and obediently stepped forward to take the pulse for Hu Yanxu.
Hu Yansu sat outside the crowd, watching Hu Yanxu, who was struggling on the bed, being restrained by several old doctors, and an inexplicable pleasure slowly appeared in his eyes.
The old doctors finally calmed him down after nearly 100 stitches on Hu Yanxu's body, although he fell asleep, the specific cause could not be completely found, only said that it was probably a food allergy, and let him take care of it for a few days.
Hu Yansu was noncommittal, lowered his head and pondered for a while, asked people to fetch the consultation money, and sent them all back.
Hu Yanxu fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up, and told those attendants to take good care of him, Hu Yanxu turned around and left.
One of Fang Cai's entourage chased after Hu Yanxu, "Third princess, the eldest prince is ......."
"It's okay for now." Hu Yan replied in his heart, raised his sleeves to hide his face and yawned, with an impatient look on his face, "Don't worry, this palace will do what it says." When the eldest brother wakes up, I will tell him that you are forced by my orders, and I believe that he will not blame you. β
The attendant was visibly relieved when he heard this, "Thank you, princess. β
"Let's go down."
The attendant saluted her, and quickly withdrew in amusement.
Hu Yan Suxin looked up at the sky, and just after walking less than two steps, a black shadow fell in front of him.
"You!" Hu Yan Suxin's eyes widened, he took two steps back, and was about to scream when he opened his mouth, but the man in black who covered his face and only showed a pair of eyes spoke quickly, concisely explaining his intentions, "The master invites the princess to gather at the Shili Pavilion outside the city tomorrow." β
Hu Yansu was obviously stunned, and before she could react, the man in black had already quickly stuffed a swarthy token into her hand, and then pulled onions on dry land and ran away without a trace.
Behind him, two other black shadows, which were faster and stranger, followed.
"Ten Mile Pavilion?"
Looking down at the black token that seemed to have been calcined by the fire, his fingertips slid over the falcon carved on it, Hu Yansu smiled half-squinted, stuffed the token into his arms, and blew on the nails painted with red kodan, twisted his waist and went back to the room.
Outside the window, it was getting late, and the night soon covered the land.
When Hong Fang came to the palace again, He Xiaoqiao and his entourage were admiring the moon by the lotus pond.
The old man who was still full of sorrow at noon smiled like a flower at this time, and his distinctive blue eyes were about to narrow into a slit.
Jiang Fenghao saw that his hands were itchy, and he couldn't help but almost wanted to find something to smash in his face.
He Xiaoqiao stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake to him to be appeased, and beckoned Hong Fang to sit down, "How is it?" Is Honeysuckle better? β
"Much better, much better." Hong Fang replied repeatedly, and after sitting down, he was not polite, he picked up his things and started eating, "I really thank the princess for those pickles, Yinhua said that it was appetizing when she looked at it, and she ate an extra bowl of dinner for the first time, and she didn't vomit." β
Bai Shou, who was also sitting on the seat, slammed his shoulder, and a rare smile appeared on his cool face, "Okay, you Lao Hong, your hands and feet are fast enough, congratulations!" β
Jiang Fenghao, who was stuffing osmanthus cake into his mouth, immediately lost a disdainful look when he heard this, and the former immediately changed his words when he saw this, and added one more sentence in the back, "...... But not as fast as the prince. β
Now Jiang Fenghao was finally satisfied, and He Xiaoqiao gave him two big white eyes angrily next to him.
As for Hong Fang, let Bai Shou insert it like this, he seemed to have come back to his senses, looking at Jiang Fenghao and He Xiaoqiao in surprise, their mouths couldn't close, "Lord, you and the princess...... Do you have children? β
He Xiaoqiao nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but Jiang Fenghao shook his legs as if he didn't know, raised his chin and announced proudly, "Two and a half months, it will be three months in a few days!" β
Hong Fang was extremely envious, congratulated the two of them repeatedly, and said that he must send his son to the palace to be a companion and guard for the little prince in the future, and the son will inherit his father's business and glorify his ancestors.
He Xiaoqiao, who used to yearn for mixed-race children, said that he was still looking forward to his children, and he didn't know if he would have a pair of beautiful blue eyes when he was born?
Thinking of this, she was so excited that she asked casually, "Hong Fang, do you like boys or girls?" β
Jiang Fenghao, who was drinking tea on the side, paused, touched his smooth chin and thought to himself, why did this sound so wrong, shouldn't he be asked this? Guang Hongfang's big old rough?
Hong Fang didn't think about it so much, how He Xiaoqiao asked, he replied, "Hehe, both men and women are good, I like them all." Reaching out and scratching the beard on his face, he seemed a little embarrassed, and added, "Of course, if you are born a girl, it is better to be like a silver flower." β
He Xiaoqiao thought so.
If his daughter looks with him, then she won't have to worry about dying in the future?
But it doesn't matter if the son grows well, if he grows well, the child will choose, if he doesn't grow well, as long as he has money, he will definitely be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future - no one has successfully married Yinhua?
The group laughed a few more words, and Hong Fang finally explained his intention - he was here to pay attention to the leftover kimchi in He Xiaoqiao's kitchen.
He Xiaoqiao only felt funny about this, and generously asked people to hug another jar over, "There are still a lot of these things in the house, just eat them and get them." However, eating too much is not good for the body, remember to let the silver flower be more restrained. β
Hong Fang listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
Jiang Fenghao didn't have a good impression of anyone who dared to come to his house to dig something, and as soon as He Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he immediately glared at him with fierce eyes, and shouted viciously, "Get out of the way if you take it, and next time you dare to come and eat for nothing, I'll break your dog's legs!" β
Hong Fang smiled, saluted He Xiaoqiao, carried a clay pot with kimchi and sour plum under his arm, and ran away with a smile on his face.
