In the second half of the night, he still couldn't sleep, and he was afraid that his inability to toss and turn would affect Ruolan, who was seven months pregnant, so he quietly got out of bed, sat in the yard, and watched the sky at night.
After a while, Ruolan also walked into the yard.
Hearing the noise, Lin Xu turned around and asked, "Ruolan, why are you out too?"
"When I woke up, I saw that the official was not in bed, so I came out to take a look."
Ruolan Yingying smiled. In fact, she didn't fall asleep tonight. When she saw Lin Xu suddenly coming out in the middle of the night, she was worried that something had happened, so she followed him out and asked with concern: "Officer, what happened? How did you get to the yard?
Are you here to sit down?"
"Haha, look how beautiful the night sky is today. I'm observing the sky at night!"
Lin Xu didn't want Ruolan to worry about him, so he gave a reason.
"Do officials still watch the sky?"
"That's natural! Yin-Yang, Five Elements, Feng Shui and Celestial Phenomenon, none of your officials can do it!"
Lin Xu held Ruolan in his arms and had sex with his wife!
Ruolan took it seriously, because in her eyes, officials were indeed omnipotent.
"Then what did you see?"
"Of course I can tell!"
"What did you see?"
"I can tell whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl!"
Lin Xu reached out and touched Ruolan's bulging belly and said with a smile.
"Really? Is that a boy or a girl?"
Ruolan asked very surprised and expectantly.
"It's a boy."
Lin Xu said very firmly.
"real?!"
"real!"
In fact, Lin Xu was not a patriarchal person. To him, having a boy or a girl was the same. However, he knew that Ruolan wanted to have a boy, so he deliberately said this to make her happy.
Sure enough, after hearing this answer, Ruolan was very excited, her face turned red, she stretched out her hand to touch her belly, and said softly: "Master, you are going to have a son, are you happy?"
Lin Xu smiled and said: "Of course I am happy! In fact, whether it is a boy or a girl, I am happy! Because this is the fruit of our love!"
Although Ruolan had heard Lin Xu say earthy love words for more than a year, she still couldn't help but blush, and leaned lightly on Lin Xu's shoulder, her eyes filled with deep happiness.
...
The next afternoon, it was time to inject Fang Jinglan with artemisinin.
Although Lin Xu has taught Xi Langzhong and Fang Yulin this method of treatment, they usually give Fang Jinglan injections, but the Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, which is a day for family and friends to reunite.
Lin Xu didn't have many relatives in this world. Apart from his wife and father-in-law's family, the only ones closest to him were his two sworn brothers, so he bought some gifts and planned to go to his two brothers' homes.
Originally, he wanted to bring Ruolan with him. It was a courtesy to visit his sworn brother's house during the holidays. It was also a courtesy to take Ruolan with him. At the same time, he could take Ruolan out to relax and have fun.
Because he is usually too busy and doesn't even have much time to spend with his wife, which makes him feel very guilty.
However, Ruolan has been pregnant for nearly six months, and her belly is already obvious. In the 21st century, it is normal for a woman to visit her relatives after she is pregnant. However, in Daning, due to the feudal system where men are superior to women,
The thoughts are very serious. Pregnant girls generally will not visit other people's homes because they are afraid that they will think it is unlucky!
Therefore, Ruolan declined Lin Xu's suggestion.
These stereotypes and bad habits that seriously discriminate against women have also strengthened Lin Xu’s determination to completely transform this society!
As for Yang Min, there were too many things going on at the silk and satin shop, and she was so busy that she couldn't get away at all, so Ruolan asked Yueyao to accompany Lin Xu to visit the homes of two sworn brothers.
The first stop, of course, was their sworn brother Fang Jinglan's home.
