It's really confusing. The main reason is that there are so many people in the An family. It's no wonder that they have caught up with the royal family's population.
The palace concubine gave birth to one child, while An's mother gave birth to eight. After giving birth to the children, she was in good condition and in good shape, so it was completely impossible to tell that she was the mother of so many children.
An Shuyao stopped mixing the medicine. She grabbed Lu Jin's hand and took his pulse. She found that the pulse was stable and the blood flow was smooth. There was no sign of death at all. She nodded with satisfaction: "The poison has been detoxified.
I’ve already said it, don’t worry about everything with me.”
Lu Jin smiled: "Well, my wife is the best."
An Shuyao blushed a little, Lu Jin, who was as cold as a banished immortal, could actually say such words, as if the otherworldly flower was stained with smoke and became very gentle.
Lu Jin is also moving towards gentleness.
The meal at noon was very sumptuous, and An Yue came back with a snack.
An Shuyao was stunned for a moment, and she wondered: "Third brother, didn't you go to see your parents first this morning? Why didn't I see you?"
An Yue smiled: "I went to the town, and the shopkeeper of Zuixian Pavilion gave me a letter." He looked at Liu Yuxue: "It was from Xunyang County."
Liu Yuxue's smiling face immediately disappeared and she said excitedly: "Quick, show me."
An Yue handed the letter to her, and Liu Yuxue read it over and over again, then her eyes were red: "Yao Yao, Uncle Ying said in the letter that he was willing to help me, and then asked me to go there as soon as possible to discuss it, because the weather will not be good in a while.
What’s worse, let me go there early.”
An Shuyao smiled and said, "Okay, sooner rather than later. You pack up today and set off at noon tomorrow."
As soon as she heard that Liu Yuxue was going to Xunyang County, An's mother immediately couldn't bear to leave her. She hadn't coaxed her daughter-in-law yet. What would happen if she ran away?
One of my sons must be single again, right?!
Each one of them was just like the old youtiao who refused to marry, but she really convinced them.
If they got married early, her family would have children and grandchildren around her, so there would be no need to worry about their marriage.
An's mother gave An Shuyao a look, and An Shuyao immediately understood. She smiled again: "It takes about a day and a half to get to Xunyang County from here. I'm really worried about you, a girl, going on the road. Why don't you let me go?"
My fourth brother, shall I go with you? He was a young general before, so I can rest assured that he will protect you."
Liu Yuxue was stunned for a moment. She looked at An Yunrui. An Yunrui, who was still a little silent at first, felt secretly happy when she heard his name being called.
"Fourth brother, do you agree?"
"He doesn't need to agree, I agree." Mother An responded. She patted Liu Yuxue's hand with a smile: "You can go without worries and let my son stay there to protect you. We can also rest assured, Xiao Yuxue.
You can’t refuse.”
Liu Yuxue felt warm in her heart. She found that An Shuyao's family members were very gentle people like her.
She glanced at An Yunrui, then lowered her head and blushed slightly, and responded softly: "Okay."
An Shuyao smiled even bigger: "Fourth brother, I have left Yuxue to you. If you let her get hurt, I can't spare you."
An Yunrui felt hot in his heart. No matter how stupid he was, he could see that his family members were trying their best to bring her together, that's all. He didn't care whether Liu Yuxue liked scholars more, he had to work hard to become someone Liu Yuxue could rely on.
Those literati couldn't withstand his punch.
After the negotiation was settled, the family ate happily again.
An's mother hadn't seen An Hao for a long time. She held An Hao in her arms and kept calling, "My dearest baby."
Ning Qianrou smiled on the side, and then went to bring food to An Mingjin.
The lunch was completed amidst the excitement. After eating, Hu Jun and others hurriedly went to the county to help An Shuyao find a construction team, accompanied by An Jingzhou.
After the snow stopped for a while, An's father and An's mother dressed thickly and went out. They brought some things and said they were going to visit the head of Rock Village.
In the afternoon, An Shuyao's intermittent ointment was made.
She rubbed her sore shoulders until a pair of big hands behind her covered her shoulders and kneaded them for her. An Shuyao hummed in comfort.
After resting for a while, An Shuyao went to apply the medicine to An Mingjin twice. The ointment was applied intermittently for half a month. During this period, the medicine would evaporate and repair his muscles and bones.
The ointment was changed every half a month. After fixing his injury again, An Shuyao explained some things that needed attention and left.
In the afternoon, An's mother and An's father came back.
An's mother's face was rosy. She held a basket and showed some dried fish in it: "Yao'er, the village chief of this village is also very kind. Let's go and thank him for taking care of you during this time and send some cakes.
He also brought me some dried fish, which I have never eaten before, so I wonder if it tastes good."
The dried fish was caught in the Xiaoluo River and was considered a major specialty here. An Shuyao picked it up and smelled it. The fishy smell was very strong, but they had ginger, garlic and white wine to remove the fishy smell. It was not a problem.
She carried it to the kitchen, where she saw Aunt He and Guixiang embroidering clothes, and Yanyu got together to embroider purses.
Seeing An Shuyao coming, Yanyu stood up and said, "Miss, please go and disturb the hygiene of the room for you."
An Shuyao wanted to say no, but Yanyu ran very fast and was gone in a flash.
She shook her head helplessly and handed the dried fish to Aunt He: "Aunt He, just eat fried dried fish with chili pepper tonight."
Aunt He smiled kindly: "Okay, miss, but the chili stir-fry you grew is really delicious."
An Shuyao raised his eyebrows and said mysteriously: "What does this mean? There will be more delicious food in the future."
Aunt He was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "The old slave is just waiting to eat. It is really a wise choice to follow the master and his wife here. At least you don't have to worry about food and drink."
Guixiang also laughed: "No, I was worried at first, but seeing that you are developing so well, miss, I feel relieved. You are worthy of being a child of the An family, and I will not be able to trouble you even in desperate situations."
An Shuyao heard them praise each other, and the feeling was so familiar.
When she was in Fengping Hou Mansion, almost everyone in the house gathered around her to praise her. If she couldn't praise her, they would just praise her.
She decisively exited the kitchen. If they were to talk about this, they would have to talk about it for an hour.
In the evening, everyone went to bed early after dinner. They had not had a good sleep for a long time, so they climbed into bed as soon as it got dark.
An Shuyao wiped her freshly washed hair. She had just come out of the shower, so she sat by the charcoal fire to dry it out so she could sleep later.
After Lu Jin finished washing, he poured the bath water for her, then took the dry towel in her hand and wiped it with her.
An Shuyao enjoyed Lu Jin's service comfortably. Lu Jin was too diligent today.
The room was very warm, and An Shuyao almost fell asleep.
Lu Jin touched her dried hair and lifted her up into a hug.
An Shuyao also woke up from her nap. When she saw him walking towards the bed, she was a little confused: "What's wrong? Are you about to go to bed?"
Lu Jin curled his lips slightly, and it was finally his time. He whispered: "It's time to have a baby, Yaoyao."
