The breeze blew slowly, and Lu Fenghe listened to the rustling of bamboo leaves outside the door. The sunlight filtered through the gaps and dappled the windows.
"What time is it?" Lu Fenghe asked.
Cuizhi was waiting in front of her. Hearing the words, she replied, "It's three o'clock, and it's time for Aunt Yu to come over in another moment."
"Where's Brother Lao?"
"My brother got up in the morning and my wife was still sleeping. The prince took my brother to the front yard and told me that I don't have to follow him. There will be people taking care of the front yard. If my wife wants to find me, I will ask my slave to go to the front yard to find Fu'an."
Apart from having no love for her, Shen Nanxun may be a bit harsh in his tactics, but other faults are almost impossible to find. As long as he agrees to do something, you can leave it to him with confidence.
Now that he had taken the child away, Lu Fenghe felt relieved.
"Later, go to the front yard and tell Fu'an that if Brother Bao wants to come back, he should be sent directly to Bailuyuan."
Yesterday, Lu Fenghe insisted that Brother Bao come back, and everyone thought that Lu Fenghe was reluctant to keep Brother Bao by his side.
Some people even thought that Lu Fenghe was clinging to his son because he gave birth to a daughter.
Lu Fenghe didn't know about these rumors, but the maids who had been walking around had heard some of them.
They all have a tacit understanding, and they all believe that Lu Fenghe's top priority is to take good care of his health, and there is no need to worry about these unnecessary things.
"By the way, Aunt Gao's nephew came to the house early in the morning. He told her at the corner gate that Aunt Gao drank too much yesterday and is still hungover. She will have to go back to the house later to take charge."
Lu Fenghe sneered and had nothing to say. Is this still the same as today's people? Who's servant would take leave and go home when he knew that his master needed someone to support him? He would just forget about it and return home later with a hangover.
Cuizhi was not sure what Lu Fenghe was thinking. She must be angry.
"I thought that since I would not pollute the atmosphere in the house after eating too much wine, I simply asked someone to send a message to Grandma Gao to come back at dawn tomorrow."
On the one hand, I felt that since the hangover was lingering, coming back wouldn't be worth it. Maybe a little girl would have to be assigned to take care of her, so I could just sober up before coming back.
On the other hand, I also considered that Aunt Gao was also my wife’s wet nurse, and there was no shortage of her in the yard anyway. An extra half day of relaxation could be regarded as a favor.
Lu Fenghe suddenly thought of a small detail, "Who did you ask to go to the corner door to pass the message?"
Cuizhi didn't know why, but she still answered honestly, "As long as the boy who came in to deliver the message through the corner door took him out."
"You didn't let Lu Fu go?" Lu Fenghe asked again.
Cuizhi straightened and pulled up Lu Fenghe's hair, put a new one on his forehead, and then said:
"There's no need for Lu Fu to do such a trivial matter. Last night, Lu Fu was on duty, and I didn't have to wait on my brother. I just let Lu Fu go down and sleep."
Lu Fenghe remembered that Lu Fu was exposed by her second wife in her previous life to have had an affair with her foreign husband, and they had secretly exchanged ideas with each other, even involving Lu Fenghe.
Lu Fenghe's side was also in chaos at the time, and he had no energy to find out whether it was true or not, and who the foreign man who had an affair with Lu Fu was.
At first, Lu Fu insisted that she did not have it, but later she saw that Lu Fenghe was involved in the matter. In order to prevent Lu Fenghe from getting involved in the gossip, she had to admit that she was the one who had the affair with her foreign husband. But who was it? And Lu Fu I can't tell you one, two or three.
In the end, Aunt Gao hired Lu Fu for her widowed nephew, and Lu Fenghe also released Lu Fu as a slave. Finally, I heard that Lu Fu followed Aunt Gao and her nephew back to her hometown, and there has been no news since. Life or death is uncertain.
Once again, she didn't want to harm anyone, but no one else would want to frame the people around her.
Lu Fenghe tried his best to recall those distant and unclear things, when there was a noise outside.
There was Bihe's voice greeting Aunt Yu.
Aunt Yu asked Bihe if the medicine bag was ready, and there was the sound of Aunt Yu washing her hands.
You can't see the scene outside through the window, so it's interesting to just listen to the sounds and guess what the people outside are doing.
Aunt Yu pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Lu Fenghe who was tidied up and in good spirits, she smiled and said:
"This is the best. Although you can't see the wind or touch the water during the confinement period, in the final analysis, you are just afraid that the mother will catch a cold and leave the root of the disease. Don't be like those people who stay unkempt and unkempt for a whole month."
Lu Fenghe nodded, "That's right. I feel more comfortable when I feel refreshed."
"The light here is just right, and there is still a bit of sunlight coming through. If it is not weak, we will press here."
"It's convenient, auntie."
Aunt Yu tied up both sleeves with cloth tape, "It's cheap, it's cheap, it's cheap everywhere."
Bihe happened to bring in a big medicine bag.
Aunt Yu directed Cuizhi to first take off Lu Fenghe's outer clothes and let Lu Fenghe lie down. Then she wrapped the medicine package with linen cloth and then placed it on Lu Fenghe's lower abdomen.
"This is the medicine pack for warming the nest and contracting the uterus. It's still hot. Wrap it up first and then take it off later. I'll help you loosen your head first."
As he spoke, he moved the stick to the side of the Luohan bed, untied the forehead wipe that had just been tied up, rubbed a light brown powder on his hands, and began to put Lu Fenghe's head on it.
While pressing the button, he explained, "This is a hair-fixing powder. Many women will lose their hair after giving birth. By using this powder, not only will there be no hair loss, but the hair will become darker and less greasy."
As he spoke, he also said to Bihe and Cuizhi next to him: "I will leave the medicinal powder for a while. The girls can also use some when helping the ladies to straighten their hair, mainly on the scalp and hair roots."
After Aunt Yu pressed it, Lu Fenghe felt that it was indeed much more relaxed and refreshing. Aunt Yu tied up Lu Fenghe's hair again, wiped his forehead and tied it up, and removed the linen on the medicine bag.
The looseness of his scalp and the constant warmth in his abdomen made Lu Fenghe feel a little drowsy.
It was probably because her thoughts were racing yesterday that she had no time to pay attention to her body. Now that she was relaxed, Lu Fenghe could really feel the pain of giving birth.
During the delivery, all I could think about was delivering the baby as quickly as possible and not hurting the baby. The pain on my body would not be very obvious.
Now that he had calmed down, Lu Fenghe felt as if he had been run over by a roller. Everything from his arms to his calves hurt. He even felt that his teeth were a little loose because he bit the cork too hard.
After Aunt Yu massaged Lu Fenghe's legs, she took away the medicine pack that was no longer hot in the abdomen, told Bihe to get other medicine packs, and then began to massage Lu Fenghe's lower abdomen, pushing, pressing, and squeezing.
Lu Fenghe's forehead quickly became beaded with sweat, and he couldn't help but groan.
"My lady, please bear with me for a while. It will be fine after you have endured it twice."
Lu Fenghe felt that this was not a question of whether she wanted to endure it or not. The kind of pain was not something she could endure just by saying she would.
Shen Nanxun sent Brother Ba over. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard Lu Fenghe's cry of pain. He was so anxious that he didn't care about Brother Ba, who had short legs. He took three steps at a time and stepped onto the corridor.

You can substitute various hot compress packs and hair fluffing powder.
During the confinement period, I can tolerate not taking a shower for a week, but if I don’t wash my hair, my oily hair will really cry.
