The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

After talking about this, Wang Xifeng felt a little sleepy, shrank back under the quilt, rubbed the pillow again, and said in a vague voice: "Lian Er, my leg hurts."

After Jia Lian heard this, she quickly rubbed her hands to warm them up, took out a bottle of rose essential oil and poured a few drops, then kneaded carefully.

The situation of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy is obvious this time. Although Mrs. Lu and Nanny Gu are both very hardworking, there is no way to solve it. They can only alleviate it a little bit.Now her legs and feet are very swollen, and the exquisite and beautiful embroidered shoes in the past are long gone. Now she wears the open cloth shoes made by Grandma Liu. Although they are ugly, they are more comfortable.

There are also leg cramps, which also occur from time to time. When the pain starts, Wang Xifeng wishes to have her legs amputated.Nanny Gu listed a lot of therapeutic prescriptions, and the small kitchen made them three or five times a day, and Wang Xifeng forced herself to eat them, but none of them worked, probably because of her constitution.

It was also because Wang Xifeng's pregnancy was really difficult, so even if she took supplements every day, she didn't gain much weight.However, with Nanny Gu and Mrs. Lu taking care of them day and night, the mother and son are in good health.

This child was longed for by Wang Xifeng's two lifetimes, so even though he was tortured severely, Wang Xifeng was still happy.Follow the doctor's advice every day, go to bed early and get up early, exercise moderately, eat less and eat more often, etc., really do what you are asked to do, without any compromise.

Feng Lazi, who used to be vigorous and resolute in the past, actually had such a motherly heart, which really surprised everyone, and made others make fun of her.But Wang Xifeng didn't care at all.

As for Jia Lian, he was also very attentive. He changed his old habit of leaving early and returning late, and spent much more time at home.Not only did he personally give prenatal education to the child in Wang Xifeng's womb, but he also did all the other tasks including serving tea and water, rubbing shoulders and backs, when he was at home.

Take the pinching and rubbing of the legs as an example. Jia Lian specifically asked Mrs. Lu and the Tai Hospital for advice. The technique is so professional that even the daughter of the Tai Hospital has praised it.In the past two months, he has done it almost every day, and he is already very familiar with the movements.

But after stopping for a few days, I was worried that Wang Xifeng would not feel well, so I had to ask a few words from time to time: "Feng'er, is this okay? Do you want to be lighter?"

Wang Xifeng was dizzy, closed her eyes and moaned a few times, telling him not to make noise.

Seeing that she was very sleepy, Jia Lian immediately chose to shut up, and blew out the lamp in the inner room, leaving only a fist-sized luminous pearl hanging outside the curtain of the bed, showing a faint light.

After kneading each of the legs and feet for a quarter of an hour, Wang Xifeng's tightly locked brows relaxed, and she fell into a deeper sleep.Jia Lian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, got up lightly to wash his hands, and then went back to bed next to Wang Xifeng and fell asleep.

It was windy and snowy outside the window, but the house was warm like spring. Jia Lian soon fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Jia Lian was suddenly awakened by the movement around her, and saw Wang Xifeng huddled into a ball, clutching her legs and sobbing. It turned out that her legs had started to cramp again.Jia Lian skillfully hugged him into his arms, pressed his legs moderately with one hand, and patted his back with the other to lull him to sleep, neither of which was delayed.

When Wang Xifeng woke up the next morning, she found herself lying on Jia Lian's lap while Jia Lian was half asleep leaning against the head of the bed.Looking at Jia Lian's black eyes, and the unstoppable movements in his sleep, Wang Xifeng's heart was a little moved, and his heart was also sour and warm.

In conscience, what Jia Lian has done in this life is really not bad, not to mention the best in the entire Dagan country, but looking at Kyoto, there is no one who is more caring and family-friendly than Jia Lian.If Wang Xifeng had no memories of her previous life, or if Jia Lian hadn't done such a terrific act in her previous life, which broke Wang Xifeng's heart, Wang Xifeng would have fallen in this life long ago.

It's a pity that there is no if, so even though Wang Xifeng has eased a lot towards Jia Lian, the deepest grievance in his heart is still not eliminated. Although the two are no longer as stiff as before, they can only say that they respect each other as guests.

Jia Lian accepted this well, after all, he made a mistake first, so he should try his best to make up for it.If Wang Xifeng couldn't forgive him, it could only mean that what he did was not good enough to make Wang Xifeng feel at ease.

Because Jia Lian was still awake, Wang Xifeng didn't get up in a hurry, and leaned on his lap to rest quietly.

It wasn't until the chiming clock outside that it rang six times that Ping'er knocked on the door and whispered: "Second Master, Second Mistress, the hot water is ready, should you bring it in now?"

Jia Lian woke up when she heard the noise, and went to see Wang Xifeng immediately. Seeing that she was awake too, she raised her voice to call the maids to come in.

Ping'er led several maids, big and small, and filed in carrying hot water, towels and other things. The little maids put things away, and Ping'er and Xi Que helped Wang Xifeng change and freshen up.As for Jia Lian, he never wanted maids to wait on him, it would be quicker to do it himself.

Waking up at [-] o'clock is the time he recently set. The yamen of the Ministry of Industry is usually at [-] o'clock, and one hour will be enough for him to reach the yamen.Jia Lian used to get up earlier, at [-]:[-] Yin Shi at the latest, go to the martial arts field to practice boxing and kicking for half an hour, and then go to the Ministry of Industry after washing up again.

But now, one is to take more care of Wang Xifeng's body, two is approaching the end of the year and the Ministry of Industry is not a big deal, and three is that he has brought out a lot of things recently, so he needs to keep a low profile and not be too eye-catching.After several considerations, Jia Lian took it for granted that he stayed in bed. To be honest, sleeping late is really comfortable.

After Jia Lian finished washing, Wang Xifeng also washed her face and was sitting in front of the dressing table, with Ping'er serving Tongfa.Xu is well maintained, Wang Xifeng's dark cloud-like long hair is as fluffy as a cloud, pouring down from her shoulders like running water, and the luster shines in it when she moves, adding a bit of beauty and elegance.

Seeing Jia Lian coming out from the mirror, Wang Xifeng ordered: "Go to the small kitchen and get some snacks, and let your second master eat before going to the yamen."

The magpie went in response, and after a while came back with a five-layer food box, and arranged the things on the table one by one.A bowl of steaming hot meat and cabbage soup, fresh but not greasy; a cage of tofu skin buns, full and warm; a plate of emerald celery shrimp dumplings, crystal clear and lovely; several plates of dim sum, and four plates of various side dishes , looking extremely rich.

After Jia Lian tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish, she was full, and the rest was naturally collected by the maid.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Wang Xifeng asked aloud, "Are you going out now?"

While wearing a fox fur cloak, Jia Lian replied, "It snowed all night yesterday, and the road may be difficult to walk. I went out earlier to save myself being talked about later."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng looked around, and there was indeed a thick layer of snow on the tree by the window.

She couldn't help admonishing a few words: "Xi'er, install a hand stove for your second master, and then go get the carriage ready. The snow is too heavy, so it's better not to ride a horse."

Faced with Wang Xifeng's concern, Jia Lian naturally responded with a smile: "I listen to you. There are not many things going on in the Ministry of Industry recently. I'll go and have a look. If you have nothing to do, come back early, maybe I can spend lunch with you." Shan, it's snowing heavily outside, I can just walk around in the warm pavilion for a walk today, don't go to the small garden."

Wang Xifeng glanced at him, pretending to be impatient and said: "Is it possible that I'm ignorant? It's snowing like this and I have to go to the garden. What's the fun in this icy and snowy place?"

Jia Lian was not annoyed by being offended for a few words, and then said in a deep voice to the big maidservants: "Look after your grandma, be more vigilant. If your grandma feels bored, take a carriage and invite grandma and sister Wang to come. Let's talk with you, understand?"

Several maidservants answered yes again and again, just as Ping'er came over with a hand stove, Wang Xifeng got up and handed it to him in person, and Jia Lian went straight out.

When Jia Lian was far away, Wang Xifeng turned around and sat down: "Since I don't go out today, I just go to the wife and the old lady to say hello, so I don't need to do those complicated hair accessories. Put it in a cloudy bun and use it before." The Huasheng with jasper hollowed out and hibiscus pattern that was sent here is nothing more than a hairpin."

Ping'er nodded in agreement when she heard the words, and just as the embellishment was finished, a maid's voice came from outside: "Is the second grandma up yet?"

The voice didn't sound like it came from the East Courtyard. Wang Xifeng tilted his head, and the magpie lifted the curtain and went out. After a while, he led a maid in. It turned out to be the glass of Rongxi Hall.

Glass came into the room, first saluted Wang Xifeng, and then said crisply: "Say hello to Second Grandma, the old lady and the wife have already said, the road is slippery in snowy days, Second Grandma is heavy, so there is no need to go today Please be safe and rest well."

Wang Xifeng laughed and said: "It's so delicate, I still want to talk to the old lady, the wife, if you come a little later, I will already be in the Rongqing hall."

Glass also smiled and replied: "The old lady said, I know the filial piety of the second grandma, but it's freezing outside, not only the second grandma doesn't have to go, even the eldest grandma, the girls and the second master Bao don't have to work. .”

Wang Xifeng didn't have to go, so she naturally agreed when she saw this, and told Ping'er: "In such a cold day, it's hard for Glass to travel all the way. You have always been on good terms. Please go to the ear room for a cup of hot tea." A piece of snack, talk and leave before it's too late."

After listening to Wang Xifeng's order, Ping'er naturally took Glass's hand and went into the ear room next door. This room was set up as a tea room. The two stoves were burning day and night, and it was not cold at all.Glass got the job of spreading the word, so naturally he wasn't in a hurry to go back. The two of them had hot tea, ate it with snacks, and chatted freely.

After drinking a cup of hot tea and the glass warmed up, seeing that it was almost time for Jia Shishi to eat, he got up and said goodbye: "I'm going back now, the old lady is about to eat, we all have to stay aside Serving, I will come to talk to you again when I have time."

Ping'er also knew the seriousness, and took her to resign from Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng didn't want to keep her either, but just rewarded her with a gold ring, and ordered Ping'er to give it away.

Since there was no need to go to say hello, Wang Xifeng called for breakfast.

What she ate was different from Jia Lian's. It was a recipe jointly discussed by Nanny Gu and Mrs. Lu, and it was specially for pregnant women.A small bowl of shrimp noodles, a few small pieces of steamed pumpkin and steamed yam, a beef soup, and some fried fresh vegetables, plus a plate of fruit.

The amount of each item is not much, only enough for Wang Xifeng to eat six to seven cents full, but now she has to eat four or five meals a day, and there are snacks and soups provided from time to time in between, which is enough nutrition.

The most rare thing on this table is those vegetables and fruits. In such a cold winter and heavy snow, except for radishes and cabbage, the only fresh vegetables next to each other are some in the greenhouses.Jia Lian bought several hot spring villages last year, but they could supply the vegetables that Wang Xifeng ate, but fruits were hard to come by.

But fruit is out of the question. These days there are no airplanes, high-speed trains or anything. Even if Jia Lian has the heart and money, he has nowhere to buy fresh fruit.

Jia Lian is thick-skinned. Although he has never married a wife and had children in modern times, he also knows the benefits of eating more fruits.Therefore, even though he knew it was difficult, Jia Lian still bit the bullet and entered the palace, and exchanged his newly researched soap recipe with all kinds of fresh fruits that the palace pays tribute to today.

Although people joked that he was too short-tempered and too affectionate, he still responded with a smile. After all, he won't suffer.

After several twists and turns, Wang Xifeng lived a life free from vegetables and fruits in this severe winter weather.
