The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 297

In February of the fifth year of Taiping, the weather was unusually warm, and the rivers north of the Yangtze River were actually freezing. The government and the public couldn't help feeling a little excited: Daqin mainly focused on farming, and the cold weather in January was not to be feared, because still No transplanting.But Beirong's greatest fear is that the early warmth will be followed by the late spring cold, and all the pastures that have been stripped will be frozen to death.The abnormal climate this year is more beneficial to Daqin.

It is also because the time of freezing on several rivers north of the Yangtze River this year is very short, and the freezing starts early. After February [-], there are already many boats coming and going on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.After all, no matter what time it is, profit-seekers are always in a hurry and will never stop.

Seventh Lady put down the book in her hand, looked at the scenery outside the window again, and tightened the heater in her hand: Although it was gradually approaching Jiangnan, the weather was not too cold, and there was even a bit of warmth in March.But this winter she is particularly afraid of the cold, and at this time, she still can't do without the stove.

As soon as she moved, Li Xia said softly, "Do you want to close the window, so as not to blow the cold wind?"

Someone beside him said, "Do you still want to vomit? If you want to, ask Quan Ziyin to prescribe another medicine for you. What kind of genius doctor, he can't even cure seasickness."

The implication is that there is still a lot of dissatisfaction with Quan Zhongbai.

Seventh Lady gave Xu Fengjia a blank look, "I'm fine. If you don't want me to move, just treat me as something. I'm alive and I can breathe."

Xu Fengjia laughed loudly, exchanged glances with Lixia, and the two of them quieted down again, not disturbing Qiniangzi anymore, and Qiniangzi continued to look at the slowly moving landscape outside the porthole.

She would follow Xu Fengjia to go south to Guangzhou when she was in a heavy body, which even Qin Niangzi did not expect - after the grand lord's birthday, Xu Fengjia immediately got his new appointment, the emperor appointed him as the general of Guangzhou, and went south after the spring Guangzhou, prepare to assemble the fleet to protect the waters around Guangzhou, especially to expel the Nanyang Pirates who have been active along the coast in recent years.

Since the people who fought in the sea battle in Daqin, besides Sun Liquan and Xu Fengjia, it is estimated that this appointment cannot be pushed.And the military order is like a mountain, Xu Fengjia can't wait until Qiniangzi gives birth to the baby and confinement, and then goes to Guangzhou in the summer.Stimulated by the past, he is determined to bring Qiniangzi by his side and never repeat the story.Therefore, he wanted to take Qinianzi to Guangzhou to have a baby.

Of course, this incident caused an uproar in the Xu family in the capital, but because of Xu Fengjia's surprisingly firm attitude, Seventh Lady would rather go to Guangzhou to live her own life, rather than go around in the circle of noble ladies in the capital city.

Four and five bedrooms are missing, and Yu An and Yuping have been married years and years later, while Yu Ning and Yu Tai's marriage is not in sight. There are not too many important things to worry about in the mansion in the past few years. Madam assists from the side.Seventh Lady doesn't have to stay in the capital to take care of the housework. In the end, Mrs. Xu softened her attitude and approved Xu Fengjia's decision.This also contributed to Qiniangzi's five-month pregnant body boarding the river boat, and a few days after the Lantern Festival, she went down the river to Guangzhou.

Xu Fengjia originally intended to hire Mr. Zhong on the ship with a high salary and take him to Guangzhou to be his own personal doctor—naturally, the midwife, Qin Niangzi, seemed to have prepared it long ago—so that she could always support her when there was an emergency on the ship. Bai happened to be going to the Suzhou area to personally inspect and accept a batch of high-quality medicinal materials. By the way, he checked whether a batch of medicinal materials transplanted from the Western Regions could survive in Suzhou. He had already asked the palace for a leave of absence.So the two sides happened to be on the road together, and Xu Fengjia also threatened, "I will kidnap you to Guangzhou and let you go after Yang Qi gives birth."

Whether Quan Zhongbai is interested in visiting Guangzhou, Qiniangzi doesn't know, and there are not many situations that require Quan Zhongbai's care along the way: perhaps because she attaches great importance to maintenance, this pregnancy did not bring Qiniangzi a lot of trouble. No matter how hard it is, he has grown up very healthy. Recently, the child has been performing martial arts in Qiniangzi's stomach, tossing and turning happily.

That is to say, when the boat sailed in a rough a few days ago, Qiniangzi had a sign of seasickness, Xu Fengjia immediately ordered the fleet to slow down, and Quan Zhongbai chose to prepare from a warehouse of medicinal materials, and gave Qiniangzi a stomach-calming medicine prescription.After eating, Qiniangzi was fine, but Xu Fengjia was still not at ease, and together with Li Xia, she stayed close to Qiniangzi, which made her very dumbfounded.

"Okay, I'm really fine." She sent Xu Fengjia again, "It's almost time to go to Suzhou, you should go and look after the two children, there are many boats around the pier, don't let the children cause trouble."

During this trip to the south, the eldest wife had very actively hoped that Qin Niangzi would keep the two children in the capital.Mrs. Xu also had similar intentions, but Qin Niangzi declined all of them.Firstly, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, and gaining broad knowledge from an early age, is of great benefit to the two children; secondly, Mrs. Xu is old after all, so it is inevitable that she will not take good care of her. If it's broken, Qin Niangzi will not be able to explain to herself in the future; thirdly, it doesn't matter whether the children kiss herself or not, but the relationship with Xu Fengjia should still be closer.Lest in the future, like Duke Ping and Xu Fengjia, there will always be some unspeakable knots between father and son, and it is impossible to talk about intimacy.

As for what the eldest wife thinks, Seventh Lady doesn't bother to speculate.Xu Fengjia is his own father, he wants to bring the child with him, what can the eldest wife say?Everyone can see how she treats Shiro and Goro. The two children may not be less attached to her than Xu Fengjia.If the eldest wife wants to say that she is worried about her murdering the child, she should stop being a human being.

In her current situation, she doesn't need to be too concerned about people's opinions, as long as she has a clear conscience, that's enough.Therefore, in the past few months, Qin Niangzi has become more casual with Shiro and Goro, and is no longer cautious as before.She felt that the reason why this baby was so smooth had a lot to do with her indifference.

Xu Fengjia moved a bit, and said lazily, "I'm not going, Li Xia, go and call the two little troublemakers in. They've been out on the deck all morning, and they don't know to come in to see your mother."

Li Xia went out with a smile, and not long after, he brought back two little urchins with sweaty heads. ——Siro and Goro are both taller and stronger than their peers. They are only five years old this year, and they are even taller than six- and seven-year-old children.

"Mom!" The two children rushed to Qin Niangzi, washed their hands outside the cabin, and touched Qi Niangzi's belly carefully. Wu Lang pointed at Xu Fengjia and laughed, "Father is so lazy, the sun is drying his ass , still lying on the bed."

Seventh Lady smiled slightly, and said softly, "Haven't you wiped off your sweat and changed into another dress? After a while, you caught a cold from the wind, and you're about to sneeze again."

The two children then left for a short time, and after a while, they came in neatly dressed and clean, and Shiro asked again, "How long can we stay in Suzhou?"

There are more routes to go to Suzhou by water, and then to Guangzhou. Many people will choose the sea route. Although it is slower, it is more stable.Xu Fengjia decided to stay in Suzhou for a few days for refurbishment, and let the children get acquainted with Baifangyuan. While arranging for a sea ship to wait in Ningbo, she slowly drove across to Guangzhou depending on Qinianzi's situation.However, because of the monsoon climate, we can only stay in Suzhou for four or five days.Qiniangzi was too lazy to bother, but seeing that Shiro and Goro were very eager, she also thought it would be good to stay in Suzhou for a few days.

Xu Fengjia casually said a few words to Silang and Goro, and then said, "There will be in about four or five days. Dad can take you to Xiaoxiangxue to see the plum blossoms, but mother can only live in Baifangyuan."

He asked Qin Niangzi again, "Where are you going to live this time, have you decided?"

Qin Niangzi shook her head and said, "I think Baifang Garden has not been inhabited for a long time, so I should just have a look and have fun, or live in a special guest house, where people often live and are more popular."

Baifangyuan was also neglected for a long time, Xu Fengjia naturally did not have much objection.Shiro and Goro have been asking questions again and again, "What's delicious in Suzhou? Mom, I want to eat pork ribs with sauce."

"I want to eat yellow croaker noodles."

"And there's..."

Following the noise of Shiro and Goro, the ship collided slightly, Li Xia pushed the door in and said with a smile, "The boat is docking, please get up, Mrs. Madam."

#
It was rare to come to Suzhou, and Qin Niangzi had no choice but to go to the street. Xu Fengjia washed off the dust, and took her two children to the street to have fun.Seventh Lady took a good rest, took a bath in Yurong Garden, and slept for a while, then got up to meet Dong Mama who came to pay her respects, and asked a few words about Qiqiao's recent situation with a smile.

Mama Dong was naturally very respectful to Qin Niangzi, "Now that I have a body, I wanted to come to pay my respects this time, but it didn't feel very comfortable, so I didn't let her come..."

Thinking of the previous love, Qin Niangzi was also happy for Qi Qiao, "Okay, Mama Dong is going to see the third generation."

She also has a property in the south of the Yangtze River, and two accountants also came in to ask for the account, and the steward of Xianxiufang, the steward of the field... Li Xia and Shang Yuan were busy reconciling accounts, and of course Seventh Lady had nothing to do.They rested in Yurongyuan for one night, and when they got up the next day, someone came to invite them and their group to have a drink.
