Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 388 Shocking news, unexpected pregnancy (3)
This letter was written at the end of February. According to the date, Mrs. Shen must have been buried. She can't go back to the funeral now, but she just wants to go back, and she wants to see the Shen family, Mrs. Shen, see Look at uncle and aunt.

Ji Chonglian sat quietly like this for an entire afternoon, until the lights came on, and the octagonal palace lanterns decorated with red tassels were lit under the verandah. Pumpkin porridge, persuaded: "Madam, you haven't had a drop of water in the afternoon, and the maid specially asked the kitchen to cook some light pumpkin porridge, why don't you just have a sip? After drinking the porridge, you have an appetite, so the maid will eat it." Go to the kitchen to pass the dishes, today’s dishes are all ready, and they are warming up on the stove!"

Ji Chonglian looked at Lin Tao's words, licked her chapped lips, and said wearily: "Let's put it aside for now, I don't want to eat it for now!"

"Mrs……"

Lin Tao wanted to persuade her again, but Liang Fen had already announced "Your Excellency is back", she hurriedly turned sideways and saluted Pei Yan who came in hurriedly.

Pei Yan took off his coat, sat next to Ji Chonglian on the kang by the window, covered her icy fingers, and said distressedly: "I've heard about my grandfather, don't be sad, at least eat something."

Before entering the door, Pei Yan heard Liang Fen talk about the Shen family, and naturally knew why Ji Chonglian was worried. Seeing his wife like this made him feel uncomfortable.

"I am fine."

Ji Chonglian's voice was a little hoarse, but she forced a smile at Pei Yan, and shook his hand back, "I'm back so late, can I eat? The food is still warm in the kitchen."

"Haven't eaten yet, you eat it with me!" Pei Yan turned to Lin Tao and said, "Pass the meal!"

A few dishes with meat and vegetables were placed on the plum blossom table at the top of the kang, and Pei Yan picked out some for Ji Chonglian, "The heart of the cabbage is good for the skin, and the fish is tonic, and then drink a bowl of chicken soup, see I see you've been so busy these days!"

Pei Yan picked up a plate of food for Ji Chonglian, then stuffed the ivory chopsticks into her hands, and coaxed softly: "Even if you are with me, use some."

Ji Chonglian raised her eyes to look at him, those black eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of concern, worry and expectation, she felt warm in her heart when she saw it, and smiled back a bit.

Yes, birth, old age, sickness and death are the long-term love of human beings, no one can escape, so it's fine if you take it lightly, won't she have such a day in the future?

It's just that when a loved one dies, I feel a little sad after all.

Ji Chonglian silently ate the choy sum in the sweet white porcelain, it tasted like chewing wax, but she swallowed instinctively.

She couldn't bear to live up to Pei Yan's good intentions, and put the thorny fish into her mouth again. When the faint fishy smell lingered on her tongue, she felt her stomach churning, and she gulped it down with a "wow". Spit it out.

Pei Yan has been paying attention to Ji Chonglian's movements, and when she saw this, she hurriedly threw away her chopsticks, supported Ji Chonglian, and called out again, "Come here, my wife vomited!"

Lin Tao and Liang Fen hurried in, first took a cotton handkerchief to wipe Ji Chonglian's mouth, then took warm water to rinse her mouth, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and stood aside nervously watching.

"But what's wrong?"

Pei Yan sat beside Ji Chonglian, caressing her back carefully, and asked with concern.

"No," Ji Chonglian waved her hands, only feeling her chest tight, "I think that fish is very fishy, ​​and I feel uncomfortable after eating it!"

"is it?"

Pei Yan frowned, took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, put it into his mouth to chew carefully, and said after a long while, "I don't think it smells fishy?!"

Lin Tao hurried forward and said, "Ma'am, the cook is afraid that the fish will have a fishy smell. Before cooking, she washed it with cooking wine repeatedly, so there should be no more fishy smell."

Liang Fen listened and nodded.

Ji Chonglian stroked her chest, "Maybe my sense of taste has changed..."

As soon as these words came out, even Ji Chonglian was stunned, she turned to look at Lin Tao in surprise, and asked, "How long was my little life last month?"

Lin Tao blushed a little when she heard the words, and glanced at Pei Yan again, seeing that he was still serious and didn't mind, so she replied softly, "For Mrs. Hui, it's the first day of March."

The first day of March...now it's the twelfth day of April.

Ji Chonglian only knew that after she stopped the contraceptive decoction, the first three months of life were a bit inaccurate, sometimes earlier, sometimes later, but they all came, and she didn't take it to heart, if she...

If she really had it, it would have been more than 40 days in terms of days.

"Lian'er, you mean..."

No matter how dull Pei Yan was, she still recalled it now, and looked at Ji Chonglian with surprise, her eyes turned to her still flat lower abdomen, did a little life begin to conceive there?

"I don't know either, I'm afraid it's not allowed in the old days."

Ji Chonglian bit her lip, shaking her head a little at a loss.

Although it is a good thing to be pregnant, if it is at this time, wouldn't she be unable to travel far?

"Quick, get someone to invite a doctor to have a look!"

Pei Yan gave an order, and Liang Fen immediately responded happily, and walked out without stopping.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the doctor was invited back, and after carefully taking and examining the pulse, he finally confirmed the good news that Ji Chonglian was pregnant.

Pei Yan was overjoyed, and asked someone to give the doctor a red seal of ten taels of silver. The doctor couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, so he didn't care about being pulled out so late, and recommended the best gynecologist in Liangcheng to him. Ji Chonglian also elaborated on the care of pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy and various precautions before being sent out respectfully.

Ji Chonglian looked at the joy of everyone around her, and seemed to dilute some of the sadness brought about by the death of Mrs. Shen. She slowly caressed her lower abdomen with her hanging hands. It turned out that she really had it. How could she confirm it? Feeling unbelievable?

"Ayan!"

Ji Chonglian called Pei Yan, and he immediately sat in front of her bed, with an expression that she would never shirk her orders to him to go up and down the mountain, but Ji Chonglian couldn't help laughing.

But after she smiled, she slowly closed the corners of her lips, and said softly: "Grandfather passed away, I think the Shen family must be very sad, originally wanted to go back to Guangling, but now... I'm afraid I can't go now. "

Pei Yan also collected her face, thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't write a letter to Brother Yu, he will be closer, and he can go to Shen's house for you to visit on the day of rest, and we will let you Hurry up and send a funeral ceremony of 1000 taels of silver, and bring back your good news along the way, so the Shen family will be able to comfort you when they know about it."

"we can only do this."

Ji Chonglian lightly pulled the corner of her lips, feeling inexplicable for a while.
