Sweet Beauty

On the second day, Zhao You heard that Liu Yu was going to leave soon, and he didn't stay much. He only invited him to drink in the evening, and still opened the Yuedi wine that had been treasured for more than ten years.

This time, the two of them had no grudges and talked very happily. Not only did they sing with each other, but they also danced with each other, and rested in the middle of the night.

Ah Shu had already rested. Liu Yuxing walked to the door of the bedroom, and his drowsy head suddenly woke up. He was busy tiptoeing into the outside room, drank the sober soup, and poured a few sips of tea before entering the inner room and carefully taking off his shoes and going to bed. .

Even so, Ah Shu was still awakened from a light sleep. She blinked drowsily, and said confusedly, "What time is it? Can you drink the hangover soup?"

Liu Xiu chuckled, leaned over to kiss her, reached out to hug her closer, stroked her belly twice, and said softly, "It's midnight, after drinking, you can sleep well, don't worry about me anymore."

Ah Shu turned over, and suddenly she was no longer sleepy, so she half-squinted her eyes and said, "It seems that she is no longer sleepy."

She reached out and pushed him away, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with the headband of the bed.

Liu Yu got close again, and took the towel and wiped it for her, from the forehead to the neck, and even the chest, which caused her to bite her lips and anger.

He said: "Today I asked the female doctor and the other two medical workers. You are pregnant, so don't reply. Although this journey is not far, it will take a few days to travel, so stay in Handan and wait for delivery. Bai I've written a letter back today, so you don't have to worry about other things."

In fact, in addition to being worried about her encounter on the road, he was also worried about his sister Liu Zhao's reaction. Liu Zhaosu did not get along with A Shu, and even though Feng Yu's teachings were much more docile, he was not at ease. Since she is no longer, she will simply be separated by the two of them, until the child is born in the future.

Ah Shu was dull for a moment, then nodded again and again: "Alright, I'll stay at home and still invite the female doctor that Sister-in-law had when she gave birth."

Liu Yu patted her back like a child and said, "If the war goes well, I will be in Chang'an when you give birth."

Ah Shu said "uh", closed her eyes and wanted to sleep again, but suddenly remembered that because she married him, he re-entered Chang'an this time, and she was not there for revenge.

That's fine, to avoid another pain.

…

Due to the previous incident in Chang'an, it has gradually spread to various places in recent months. Therefore, Liu Yuxi's text was worthy of being issued, and he received the support of several people.

He had already decided on the generals who would go on the expedition, but when Wen was sent to the two states of Yan and Henan, several county governors and princes took the initiative to join him, and Yang Rui, the prefect of Yuzhou, personally sent envoys to show the meaning of following.

This situation shows that people in the world have been dissatisfied with Geng Yun's dictatorship for a long time, and they only need an opportunity to jointly criticize.

A few days later, when everything was ready, Liu Yu put on his armor again and led his troops westward.

Before leaving, he looked for the sachet in the house again. This time, Ah Shu knew his intentions, so he made him sit down and took the sachet that had been made in the sewing box and handed it to him.

Liu Xiu was still holding the old thing that had not faded in his hand. Comparing the two at this moment, he couldn't help laughing.

Just look at the old one, just sewed into a round shape, and the corresponding pattern is drawn with brush and ink, which has long been blurred, and the hanging network can also be seen to be slapped at will. Now It has been uneven in length and has curled endlessly.

As for the new one, although it is not very delicate, you can see the fine and neat stitches at the corners, and the pattern in the middle is no longer a random drawing, but a real bluegrass moiré embroidered with needles and threads. The style is simple, but he is satisfied.

He put the old one in the box, picked up some incense pieces and herbs and put it into the new one, tied it around his waist and looked at it carefully, took it off, and stuffed it directly into the one to be worn tomorrow. in underwear.

…

The next day, Liu Xiu got dressed before dawn as usual, used two mouthfuls to eat, and pressed Ashu, who was about to get up to send him out of the house, back to the bed, raised a fan to fan out some cool air for her, and leaned over to kiss her On his forehead and cheeks, he said in a hoarse voice, "Child, wait for me to win and welcome you to Chang'an."

A Shu's face was still drowsy, and in the morning light, a delicate pink and tenderness appeared. Hearing the words, he blinked the water in his eyes, smiled and nodded at him, "I'm waiting for my husband."

Liu Xiu kissed her again, then got up and left.

Ah Shu slept again for a while, but felt no sleepiness at all, so she simply got up and took advantage of the early morning when the sun was not so bright, following the instructions of the female doctor and Deng Wan, walked back and forth in the hospital twice to stretch her muscles and bones.

This Japan is the same as in the past, except for some inexplicable loneliness in my heart, nothing is different. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, a servant girl suddenly entered and said, "There is a young lady outside, who said it is Wang Mei who is confident, and came to look for the queen."

Ah Shu was holding a few pickled plums in her mouth, she was stunned when she heard the words, and she and Que'er looked at each other in surprise.

She hurriedly got up and went to the front hall, only to see a familiar figure sitting on the couch, dressed in a smoky red robe, with long hair pulled back in a bun, it was Liu Zhao.

"Uncle?"

Ah Shu stepped forward and called out in surprise.

Liu Zhao raised his eyes, but before he made a sound, a pair of eyes that were somewhat similar to Liu Yu had already quietly looked at her from beginning to end, and finally set his eyes on the slightly bulging belly.

She only heard a light cough, and said a little embarrassedly: "I heard that the second sister-in-law was pregnant, so I came over to take a look..."

She was thin-skinned and halfway through speaking, the voice behind her became lower and lower. In fact, she received her brother's letter that day, learned about the events in Chang'an City, and also knew that A Shu was pregnant, she had some awkward expectations in her heart, so she had been in the letter palace with Feng Li early, busy to ask for medical workers and so on. , But after waiting for more than three months, no one came back, and if I got the letter, I would not return for the time being.

She couldn't hold back for a while, suspecting that her brother and sister-in-law were afraid that she was ignorant and would not teach Ah Shu to reply to her letter.

As soon as Ashu's eyes turned, she understood her thoughts a little, so while ordering someone to clean up the house, she poured the ice-cold physalis for her, and said with a smile, "Thank you uncle for being so caring, I'm all right, it's just the harm. The mouth is a bit powerful, and the female doctor said it was inconvenient to travel, so she stayed at home for a while, but I'm sorry to bother you to come in person."

Liu Zhao blushed involuntarily, bowed his head and said, "No trouble, I'll be fine if I stay in the letter."

In the past, when Ah Shu was there, even without Liu Yu, she would go there to say hello every day, and occasionally go out to the Xin Palace to find Fan Xiao to have fun together. But recently, none of them were in Xindu, which really made her annoyed, so she begged Feng Li for a long time and reassured her that she would be allowed to bring people over.

Ah Shu thought that it was because she was pregnant, and the more she felt her heart softened. Although she was not older than Liu Zhao, she saw that she had lost her previous restraint and had a little more childish naivety, so she couldn't help laughing: "If my uncle and sister don't If you dislike it, you might as well live here, just to be with my sister-in-law."

Liu Zhao was waiting for these words, his eyes lit up immediately, he glanced at her quickly, and pretended to be solemn: "I don't dare to dislike it, so I will stay here for a while."

Ashu asked two more questions about the current situation of the second son of the letter and Feng Ni. Hearing that everything was fine, he felt relieved, sat down for a while, and then led Liu Zhao into the mansion.

Deng Wancha ordered someone to clean up the house in the courtyard, and she also came out at this time to meet Liu Zhao.

After she was settled down, Deng Wan said, "Sister Wang is here today, so let's take a rest first. There will be a temple fair the day after tomorrow. I will take you into the city with Ashu for a look."

Liu Zhao remembered that when he entered the city, the scene in the city was very different from Xindu, so he naturally agreed.

After walking out of the house, Deng Wan Fang said: "Ashu, although your uncle and sister are a little outspoken, they are a pure-hearted child. Now that's not bad."

Just now watching Liu Zhao, he clearly also cares about Ah Shu, but he is only thin-skinned, and when it comes to his mouth, he is always embarrassed to speak bluntly.

Ashu also nodded: "At first, when she was younger, she had an upright spirit. Because of the Queen Mother, it was reasonable to hate me. Now I have listened to the advice of her brother and Feng Yu, and I have been much better. Some complained about her, but now that I think about it, she is also pitiful without her parents and elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

As she spoke, she took Deng Wan's arm and said, "Thanks to my sister-in-law for always treating me so well, I learned from my sister-in-law."

Deng Wan smiled and tapped the tip of her nose, thought for a while, and then said, "How old is she now?"

A Shu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I don't know what the birthday is, but it seems that in September, it should be the time of the wedding this year, and the wedding ceremony hasn't come yet. I should prepare it for her."

A woman is fifteen years old, and it only happens once in her life. It is the most important day besides marriage. Now that Liu Yu is not by her side, and Liu Zhao has no other parents, her second sister-in-law naturally has to prepare for her good life.
