Chapter 471

When Pomegranate opened her eyes, what she saw were bed curtains with patterns of insects, birds and flying fish, copper curtain hooks carved with pomegranate flowers, and a vase of two fish sitting on a high stool under the west window, the flowers in the vase emitting a faint fragrance.

This is Lilac Pavilion, her boudoir.

She seemed to have had a long dream. In the dream, the city was sealed off due to an epidemic. After the city gates were opened, Jiang Bing came to report that something had happened in Erli Village, and more than a hundred people had died at the hands of thieves.

This dream is too unbelievable.

Pomegranate sat up, put on her shoes, put on her coat, and went out.

Outside, Sui Lu heard the noise and came in with a cup of warm honey water, "Girl, you're awake."

Shi Liu took the cup and took a big sip to moisten his throat, "Where's Fu Dong?"

Sui Lu was stunned and looked at the girl in confusion, "The girl left Fudong and the others in Erli Village to mourn for their family for three months—"

Before she finished speaking, she saw the girl's face change slightly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Liu raised his hands and rubbed the sides of his eyes, then heaved a heavy sigh.

That wasn’t a dream, she said, how could a dream be so real?

Shi Liu was in high spirits having slept since yesterday evening. After eating the breakfast brought in by Bai Cui, Shi Liu washed up, changed his clothes, and went out with Sui Lu.

Although the house has been renovated and has three courtyards, making it more spacious, the Song family is still accustomed to chatting and chatting in the pavilion in the front yard.

As the weather gets colder, thick woolen blankets have been laid on the wooden floor, and thick cotton curtains have been hung to block the wind. Sitting inside, it is comfortable and warm.

At this moment, everyone is there. Baozhu, who is already one year old, is dressed warmly and is chubby. She doesn't want to walk even though she can walk steadily. She just rolls around on the carpet and has a lot of fun.

Old Mrs. Yuan, Mrs. Song and Huang Chunni, who had just moved in, were talking to each other and watching her rolling around with joy.

Mrs. Lin was still in confinement after giving birth and had a maid to accompany her. Shi Liu went to the west wing to see her first, and gave the silver locket for her nephew to keep safe to her. Then she went to see her nephew who was being taken care of by Mama Liu in the compartment.

The name given by Old Man Li was Li Changkang, nicknamed Kangge'er, after his great-grandchildren.

Maybe it was because she was well nourished when she was pregnant, just like Baozhu, she is really white and plump.

When Shi Liu looked at him, he had just woken up and was looking at Shi Liu with half-closed eyes, but he must not be able to see people clearly from that look.

Shi Liu couldn't help but carefully pick him up with both hands, and tossed him in her hands, she couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really not light."

Mother Liu at the side also laughed, "Yes, the baby weighed 25.8 kilograms! Grandma suffered a lot when she gave birth to my son."

"Little Fatty." Shi Liu poked his face gently with her finger, leaving a small dimple.

This actually irritated the little guy, and he started crying with his mouth closed.

"I'm afraid she has peed. Give her to me, young lady." Mother Liu quickly took the baby and put it in the crib. She saw that she had peed and quickly changed the diaper before taking her to Lin to feed her. Shi Liu didn't go to see her while she was feeding. She told Lin to take good care of herself and recover her weakened body. Then she went out and went to the pavilion.

Baozhu had just rolled to the door. When she turned over, she saw a familiar person and couldn't help grinning. She grabbed her legs and tried to climb up, "Second aunt, aunt, hold me, hold me."

"Baozhu, do you miss your second aunt?" Shi Liu bent down and picked her up. She wanted to lift her up in front of her and give her a big kiss, but she almost sprained her waist.

He couldn't help but look at Song and said, "Mother, please control Baozhu's mouth. Look how strong she is. I can't even hold her in my arms after just over a month of not seeing her!"

Song responded with an expression that said, "Being fatter is better. Being fat brings you luck. You don't understand." But she quickly reached out and took the pearl from her. "Your second aunt's small body can't hold you. Come down and play by yourself."

Baozhu came down, but still wanted to climb onto Shiliu. Seeing Shiliu sitting down, she quickly nestled on her and hugged her neck, looking up with her little face, "I miss, I miss my second aunt."

"Miss your second aunt? Oh, you are my dear pearl. Look what your second aunt bought you this time?" Shi Liu gave her a kiss, took the small box handed to her by Sui Lu, opened it, and took out a small bracelet in red, green, and blue that contained a gold hollow carved gourd inlaid with broken gems.

"Look, Baozhu, do you like it? Second Aunt will put it on you. This bracelet is not heavy on your hand and looks good when you wear it!"

As he said this, he put the bracelet on Baozhu.

Little Baozhu loved these gold, red, green and blue jewelry. When she saw the bracelet on her hand, she raised her hands and grinned. She clapped her hands with joy and knocked the bracelets on her hands together, making crisp sounds, which made her eyes shine.

Baji kissed Shi Liu, then got off Shi Liu and crawled to the corner to play with his bracelet.

"This heartless girl doesn't miss me at all, she misses the little toys I bring with me!" Shi Liu laughed and scolded her.

Old Yuan couldn't help laughing, "This girl!"

Song glanced at Baozhu and whispered, "This child is very cunning. Her grandfather made her a small box, and she put all her good things in it and hid it under the bed. Every night before going to bed, she would crawl in and drag it out to look at it again and again, for fear that someone would take it away. She thought no one knew about it!"

Everyone was so happy when they heard this, "He's still a little money-grubber!"

The little money-grubber secretly glanced over here, and seeing that no one was looking at her, she was not satisfied with just playing with her hands like this, and simply pulled out the bracelet, bit it in her mouth, and touched it again and again, her eyes narrowed with laughter.

After Shi Liu finished laughing, she looked at Huang Chunni and said, "My second brother and his wife are getting married and I was not able to come back in time. Please don't be angry with me, my second sister-in-law."

"I'm not angry, I'm not angry, how could I be?" Huang Chunni is petite and speaks in a soft and gentle voice.

Although she had only been married for half a month, her grandmother-in-law was kind, her mother-in-law was gentle, and her sister-in-law was cheerful and easy to get along with. She felt like she was dreaming. She never dreamed that she would marry into such a good family.

On the second day after I got married, I only made a breakfast according to local customs. After that, I didn't have to do housework or work in the fields. I didn't have to do anything. Every day I just chatted with the mothers-in-law. The food was good, and there was meat for every meal, either chicken, duck or fish.

My mother-in-law cooks bird's nest porridge every two days. My great-grandmother has it too, and my mother-in-law asks her to drink it too. She has never drunk bird's nest before. She heard that it is something only rich families eat and it is very expensive.

But after more than half a month, she has drunk it several times. Although it was only one bowl each time, it was really delicious!
She was flattered to eat well and live well, but she didn't have to do anything. But she couldn't sit still. Her mother-in-law told her that she didn't have to do any of these, and if she couldn't sit still, she could do needlework. Her mother-in-law also gave her a lot of cloth.

But she didn't have to make clothes, as someone else had made them for her. Two days after she came into the house, Aunt Hongxiu brought someone to measure her size and said she would make her winter clothes.

Let her do needlework, that is, make small clothes and socks for herself and her husband.
