Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

In the room, the aroma of food wafted into the air. Jiang Wen stroked his beard with his eyes closed, and placed his hand on Hu Sanniang's pulse. Four pairs of eyes stared at him. After a while, he opened his eyes and said with a look of joy: "Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness. This is a pregnancy pulse, and it has been about a month."

A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face.

Hu Sanniang looked incredulous and couldn't help but touch her belly: "This... I don't feel anything."

Su Jinniang's eyes were filled with envy, and she subconsciously looked at Lu Bu who was standing there, with an indescribable light in her eyes. Lu Bu seemed to feel her gaze, turned his head to look over, and couldn't help swallowing.

Wu Qing smiled, sat over and put his arm around Hu Sanniang: "It's not the day yet, how can it happen so quickly?"

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, remember not to..." Jiang Wen paused as she packed her things, then smiled and said, "You are so stupid. Your Highness already has a daughter, so you should know these taboos."

Lu Bu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he looked at Su Jinniang, feeling that it was not a big deal. He watched Jiang Wen pick up the pillow for taking the pulse, and then watched him put the pillow with brocade patterns into the wooden box. He suddenly said, "Medical Minister Jiang, wait a moment."

Jiang Wen kept stuffing the pillow and turned back in confusion: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

"Take Jin Niang's pulse as well."

The three women stared at him with wide eyes. Wu Qing frowned, "My dear..." She glanced at Su Jinniang who was expecting something. She opened her mouth but swallowed the words back. She just reminded him implicitly, "Some things... can't be rushed."

"It's okay." Jiang Wen took over the conversation, took out the pulse pillow and put it on the table, sat down and said, "It's okay to just treat it as a checkup."

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Jiang."

Su Jinniang spoke up and watched Hu Sanniang move aside and sit down with confidence. They were all old people in the mountain, so there was no pretense of saying anything about the rules that couldn't be touched. She just put her hands on the pillow, her almond-shaped eyes flashing with anticipation.

Jiang Wen stretched out his fingers, placed them on his pulse, closed his eyes, and stroked his beard with one hand. However, after a few strokes, he suddenly stopped, opened his eyes suddenly, and stared at Su Jinniang's white wrist.

The woman sitting down turned pale instantly, and she couldn't help but look up at the three people standing. Lu Bu next to her raised his eyebrows and his face darkened.

Seeing this, Wu Qing couldn't help but whisper, "This... Doctor Jiang, is there anything wrong with this?"

"No...let me listen carefully again."

Jiang Wen tilted her head and frowned, waved one hand outward to tell them not to speak, and leaned forward.

"This……"

The three people standing there looked at each other. It seemed like... could it be that Su Jinniang's illness was more serious?

"Um……"

As the four people watched, Jiang Wen stroked his beard, suddenly showing a look of joy, and stood up and said, "It's really unexpected, it's also a happy pulse, and it's also January."

The three women breathed a sigh of relief. Su Jinniang's pale face immediately regained its color, and a smile appeared at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

Lu Bu also let out a breath and couldn't help but glare at Jiang Wen. The master of Xinglin was stunned and couldn't figure out what he had done wrong.

Wu Qing complained, "Medical Chief Jiang scared me to death. Don't act like this next time."

"Oh oh..." Jiang Wen came to his senses, his old face flushed, and he quickly clasped his hands and said, "I really didn't expect that it would be a double blessing. It's a bit, I congratulate Your Highness!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Doctor. I didn't expect that both of you are pregnant. I was just trying it out at first."

After he said this, Lu Bu's face lit up with joy, he proudly puffed out his chest, waved his hand, and said loudly: "This kind of happy event deserves a reward, a big reward!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jiang Wen was also delighted. She quickly bowed her hands to express her gratitude, packed up her things in a hurry, and wrote down a prescription for pregnancy-preserving medicine: "Then I will not disturb Your Highness's celebration. I will take my leave first!"

"Go ahead." Waving his hand, Lu Bu, who was in high spirits, didn't look at him. Wu Qing signaled the maid guarding the door, and someone came to take him away. The King of Qi turned around and looked at the two girls with a smile on his face: "There will be two more noisy little ones in the family, good news, good news!"

It caused three rolls of eyes.

……

The autumn rain is continuous, and the rain hits the window sashes with a dense sound.

On both sides of the wide street and the rammed road, two small flowing streams gathered and flowed back along the shops. In front of the restaurant, stone slabs were paved out to the roadside, covered with thick wooden boards. Pedestrians who hurried in were shaking off their robe sleeves and shouting at the waiter to make some hot soup to ward off the cold.

There were not many customers in the restaurant. On rainy days, the number of people who still liked to go out to eat was less than usual. Nearly half of the guests were sitting in groups here and there, drinking and eating.

From time to time, laughter could be heard coming from the private room on the second floor. Yang Pu was sitting in the room, drinking with Zhang Lin and a young man with a big face and small eyes.

"I didn't expect to see Lord Zhang in Liaoyang Prefecture. It's really refreshing. But I didn't expect that the Shangbang army would lose. Hahahaha——"

Zhang Lin looked at the person opposite him expressionlessly, without a trace of strangeness in his expression.

"We, Goryeo, also fought with the Jurchens two years ago..."

bang bang-

Patting his chest, he said, "I didn't lose! He conquered nine cities! He commanded the army...my father!"

Yang Pu narrowed his eyes, raised his glass to signal, and the person opposite him picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Snapped--

Chongchong put the cup on the table. The drunk young man was none other than Yin Yanchun, the Imperial Censor of Goryeo. His face was red, his eyes were hazy, his collar was torn open, and he looked uninhibited. “This time I went to the Tianxing Festival… hiccups, uh… I failed. I saw the elegance of my superior country, and His Majesty the Liao Kingdom even asked me to bring back a cart of gifts… hahahaha, His Highness will definitely praise me.”

Yang Pu and Zhang Lin looked at each other. After eating and drinking for a long time, the other party's words were incoherent. It seemed that the young man was drunk. Yang Pu thought for a while and said, "It's a long way from Liaoyang Prefecture to Kaijing. Could it be that Yin Shiyushi has to go back by land?"

“How can that be possible!” Yin Yanchun sat up straight with his shaking body. He stretched out his hands and grabbed twice before picking up the chopsticks: “Of course I’ll go back by sea…” After a long while, he picked up a flower carved from some unknown vegetable from the plate and put it in his mouth and bit it: “Going from the sea is much faster than on the road, and it saves energy… Bah——” He spat out the carved flower: “This thing has no taste…”

"It's not safe at sea recently." Yang Pu reached out to pour him some wine, and looked at Yin Yanchun with a smile: "It is said that a group of pirates came and are looting everywhere. To be honest, many merchant ships have been killed at sea. I don't know..." He leaned forward and put the wine glass in front of him: "Isn't it dangerous for Yin Shiyu to go to sea at this time?"

"What danger..." Yin Yanchun waved his big hands twice as if he was going to hit someone: "If those dogs dare to appear in front of me, I will beat them!"

Zhang Lin's eyes lit up, and he asked, "So, these pirates are supported by someone. Do you know who it is?"

"Who else? Isn't it just the one the Li guy raised?" Yin Yanchun grabbed the wine glass with his eyes wide open: "He is the father-in-law of the emperor..." He raised his hand and drank it in one gulp. He couldn't resist the alcohol anymore and fell on the table with a thud, muttering: "Who dares to catch that..."

"Yin Shiyushi, Yin Shiyushi?"

Yang Pu called him twice, and Zhang Lin stood up and pushed him twice, listening to the man's regular breathing.

"You have such a low alcohol tolerance." Zhang Lin shook his head and sat back.

Yang Pu also put down the wine glass he had picked up and rubbed his face: "Yes, he is bad, drunkenness can tell a person's character...", and shook his head: "He is not a good person."

He looked up at Zhang Lin, thought for a moment and said, "Then... please ask Doctor Zhang to report to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, and I will send this man back."

Zhang Lin glanced at him and smiled: "Thank you, Doctor Yang." (End of this chapter)
